The game also inverses the roles on purpose. In the story Mito is framed as an alien, because the café she works at is called Maid Planet, which makes Chisa a cowboy, but in the cards Chisa is an alien and Mito is a cowboy. I wonder what that means 🤔

I like how the game also hints that she may or may not be related to several girls getting food poisoning. Was there a reason for her to do that? Who knows. But the devs did choose the reason for them taking days off that just makes you think of her instantly.

Love Chisaʼs new story, sheʼs just so very her in it. Whatʼs really going on in her mind? Youʼll never know. In fact, her mask is such a natural state for her, I donʼt know what should happen for her to take it off (well, it did almost break due to stress once, though).

Watched Ricochiʼs stream with Sally... Canʼt believe she was expressing Chisaʼs love for Kathrina for an hour straight 💔

WDS on the third year of its run: Fortress of Lies.

I love it so much that Rika and Luna’s story may come off as being fairly simple, but when you take the time to think about it, you notice that it starts to fall apart as soon as episode 2 and becomes complete nonsense by the end (I generally mean the prelude, but actually even before that).

I’m (mostly) keeping my brainrot out of main, but nothing stops me from posting it here.

This part of the list of Ricochi’s roles just makes me go hehehehhh 🤭

Like, I was wondering why Chisa and Yae share some similarities in their character presentation, but that makes so much sense when you think about it.
November 18, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Tbh, Yae “never having a real personality since birth” is probably way too accurate. I won’t be surprised if that’s how it turns out to be.

“Sorry I couldn’t protect you back then.”

It probably doesn’t mean anything, but I’m thinking how in LesMis Chisa couldn’t save Kokona, but made up for it by saving Shizuka.

「あれは私?」
「ううん、違う。もう一人の私。あれはあなたで私。」

I’m losing my mind over this. Like, thinking how the story of Rika and Luna relates to Doloris and Oblivionis is fun, but also how about the fact Rika got Timoris’ color scheme that becomes closer to that of Doloris’ after Rika goes to the haunted house?

Whatever I wrote in the linked threads becomes funnier after you’ve watched Mujina Carnival.
So, I was playing Chisaʼs birthday song, and her visual effects are gold and silver sparkles?
The white and yellow stars are equal in brilliance, which implies they can be used interchangeably.

It makes me so happy to see Ricochi’s fans coming to WDS live!! Really shows how much recognition she gained in the past year… Back when Global Stage was held, her character still was considered a pretty niche one to like.
November 15, 2025 at 1:07 PM
So glad Ricochi posted a photo with Sally for the upcoming live... Although Chisa and Kathrina donʼt even have a duet song.... 💔

Going over the posters I translated before while moving them to the archive I’m working on, and every single one of them makes me go, “And why is that specific detail mentioned here??”
November 13, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Thinking that in what supposedly is Kokonaʼs version of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter Kathrina is a moon messenger who appears out of nowhere to take Shizuka away, so I wonder if that means that the Phantom was in fact unaware of what changes Sorelliʼs made to the story in her retelling 🤔

I also added a page with the links for the translated poster stories to the list.

Thinking how Dragon subtitle is an obvious One Thousand and One Nights allusion, so maybe now Chisa keeps weaving the stories so that the night will never end and she won’t have to part with Kathrina 😭
November 9, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Love how in WDS you rephrase cryptic subtitles for poster stories when translating, so that they sound natural in English, and then a year later you find out that the part you left out or changed was actually the key one...
November 9, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Just realized that the subtitle for TLM actually implies “something” was left of the little mermaid after she disappeared into sea foam.
So I was thinking that, according to my calculations, Kathrina should have been 15 when she performed her failed Cinderella.

Now I decided to reread TLM, and for some reason it specifically mentions the age of 15 as a turning point for the mermaid.
Actually, it’s less than three years. Kokona joined Sirius in April 2023, and that was the beginning of her second year of high school. So, the time she reunited with Shizuka must have been the winter 2021–2022.

I genuinely hope the devs will stick with the release schedule and do Nikako’s focus this month and Yae’s focus for New Year, and only then do Chisa’s focus, leaving one to wonder whether it’s her 3rd, or whether her 3rd actually was Kathrina’s 4th 😂

WDS dropped a new Chisa card, where Chisa wears a T-shirt with an alien holding a cat, and my brain stopped functioning.
