It’s Tanabata and Yusei’s birthday so here’s a two in one art.

-OZONE- by 麦茶 [pixiv]

Fun fact: so in my Japanese class about 3 years ago, we had to work on a PowerPoint/sakubun (essay) for something about Japanese culture.  I ended up choosing Tanabata especially because I knew about it through -OZONE-, and I played it for a bit to show how it was referenced.  It was cool looking into what it originally came from (a story of two lovers being separated by the Milky Way and only getting to see each other one day a year [the “once a year” line in -OZONE-], and Altair and Vega being involved). I forget what grade I got on it, but I think my professor liked it, haha.

Also, I ended up looping both this Applause song from DM Duel 2 and “Legend of the Signers” from 5D’s Sound Duel 2 to use in the presentation.  I don’t think anyone recognized them. hehe
