Sometimes I wonder if Sakiko ever went to a sumimi concert, or if she followed them at all. From what we know sumimi was formed some time before CRYCHIC was even an idea, but I'm assuming the Sakiko back then was the bright person she was when she was in CRYCHIC.

Today I was thinking about the band names from MyMuji and how they ultimately had a meaning that played out one way or the other. However, I'm not sure if Ave Mujica's name has played its role.

One thing I expect from the movie and/or S3, is to see Ave Mujica's members develop further as characters and then as a team. By the end of S2, it seems Sakiko has reached almost her full development, at least compared to S1, whereas the others seem to have gone from square -10 to square 1.

Funny, isn't it? #AveMujica

Here's the translated dialogue for the new Uika&Sakiko and Sakiko&Mutsumi illustrations!

I haven't written in a while, but there are just so many thoughts in my mind about "Sophie", and I need to drain them. I understand that there's some heavy Gnostic lore in this song, and since my knowledge of esoteric things is nonexistent, I spent a good portion of the day reading about it.

Oh, btw, "In your Blue Eyes" makes me feel far too many things. I don't know why I feel like crying while I listen to it. It's such a beautiful song. Ave Mujica has insanely talented members.

Something that makes me sad at times is how some fans regard Hatsune a red-flag because of her strong attachment to Sakiko. I do agree that her strong feelings for Sakiko aren't precisely normal and that codependency isn't healthy, but we've seen that Hatsune tries to make the best of her situation

Hatsune is my favourite character by a considerable margin. Still, I'll admit I have a difficult time trying to understand what made her cherish Sakiko so much. I've seen some people discuss this, some say she originally viewed her as her real family, others that she just loved her.

One thing I believe would be quite cool and could easily earn plenty of points (and money) for Bushiroad would be a prequel for Ave Mujica. Of course, I'm not referring to MyGO (S1) lol, but about that time frame starting when Sakiko called Uika to help her forget until Ave Mujica's first concert.

Even though S3 has been announced as a MyGO/Ave Mujica story, I hope it's more of an Ave Mujica S2 with some appearances by the MyGOs than a 50:50 type of thing. MyGO's story was kinda properly wrapped up in their own season and the leftovers (i.e. CRYCHIC stuff) was nicely wrapped up in Mujica ep7.

I was thinking about Hatsune and her masks, and how she claims to have choked her original self (in ep11 and also referenced to in the video for Alter Ego), but Hatsune can't help but surface whenever Sakiko is around. She just can't help it.

My favourite characters go like this: Hatsune > Sakiko > Mustumi (particularly because of Mortis). I find their characters quite rich, and I love how they've been fleshed out. I just love them very much. After them, I also like Taki and Soyo quite a lot, who then are followed by Nyamu and Umiri.

Hatsune is, by far, my favourite character in the franchise. It's funny because she's the reason why I picked up Ave Mujic. I saw some screenshots about her from eps 1-2. At the time I had no idea I had to watch MyGO, and I didn't pick My go up until Ave Mujica ep3 was out, and I was quite confused.

Another thing I loved about Ave Mujica was its "show, don't tell" approach, and it allows a really fun and interesting analysis of the show. You can find plenty of people online who have done great analysis on the series, like @hanamukes.bsky.social.

About these multifaceted characters, the easiest examples are Hatsune and Mutsumi, for obvious reasons. However, though not mentally unstable like those two, Taki is incredibly different in how she approaches every other person, as if she were really quite different.

One thing I like a lot about the MyMuji characters is how many are multifaceted. In MyGO, you've got Taki and Soyo, and in Ave Mujica, all its members have many sides to them.

Some impression I had was how Saki kept changing places over time, and how this showed different moments in her life.

I've been thinking about writing down my ideas about Mujica, at the very least for me to read my thoughts on the series and how they (might) change over time.
