User blog:FanaticAnime/Idol Aura Review

Hey, Eveyone!

It's Fanatic and I'm here with my long awaited blog about the characters' Idol Auras.

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but work's caught up with me.

Anyway... In this blog, I'll be talking about those that appeared in the first ten episodes.



In Love Me Tear's aura, there are various sized gears and star constellations connected by translucent gems and pearls form a circle around them. Golden sparks with trails of light representing meteors — a reference to the unit name— can also be seen going above and around Mirai and Karen. Both are covered in a glow of their idol type: Karen in pink and Mirai in yellow. Glitter in those two colors surrounds them as well.



In Mio Minato's aura, there are spheres made of multi-colored geometric shapes that break apart along with bubbles surrounding her body. Mio is covered in a blue glow with neon yellow glitter surrounding her body as well.



In Mirai Asuka's aura, there are various neon-colored triangles that break apart, along with star polyhedrons that are surrounded by plasma currents circle her. Mirai is covered in a yellow-orange glow as well.



In Aine Yūki's aura, there are musical notes made of pink, heart shaped jewels that break apart along with yellow rings surrounding her body. Aine is covered in a pink glow with glitter of the same color surrounding her body as well.



In Maika Chōno's aura, there are butterflies that break into sparks of light along with flames surrounding her body. Maika is covered in a violet glow with glitter of the same color surrounding her body as well.

Moving onto my opinion of each aura, starting with Love Me Tear's!

I know there's a group of people that have mixed feelings concerning their unit aura, and I'm not going to lie when I say that I'm one of those people. The star constellations and golden sparks with trails of light look really good, but I was confused when it came to the gears. I'm still confused. What were they supposed to represent again? Some think that they might represent Mirai in some way, while others think that they represent the unit's hard work and determination into becoming Diamond Friends. I was also confused about the "Me Tear" part of their unit name until reading the trivia section. It is said to be a pun on the word, meteor. Moving on... I liked the translucent gems and pearls that connected the constellations. They definitely represent the two as the current Diamond Friends. Now, I wonder... Is the Diamond Friends Cup similar to the Starlight Queen Cup, where idols compete to obtain the title for the following year until the next competition? Part of me doesn't think so because Karen and Mirai have already graduated from the Academy and there hasn't been any mention of there being a high school. They also still hold the title, which makes it more obvious.

Next is Mio's!

Even though I already figured out what her aura consisted of before her solo performance, I was a bit surprised. The spheres made of geometric shapes and the neon colors definitely screamed cool. Especially since they represent her brand, Material Color, in some way. Although, when I saw the bubbles, I was like, "That's something you'd normally see in a Pop type's aura." I guess the animators wanted to do something different like they did with Laura Sakuraba's aura in the second season of Stars. That's not the only thing about her aura that surprised me. The spheres of geometric shapes have the same effect as Elza Forte's teacup roses, where they break apart into petals and fade away. Despite Elza having amazing performances in Stars, I didn't really care for that effect in her aura, but I liked it a lot after seeing it happen in Mio's.

Third up is Mirai's!

The objects that we see in Mirai's aura are definitely something not expected of a Pop type, but like I said about Mio's, the animators wanted to do something different from the other Pop types'. The star polyhendrons surrounded by plasma curents seem to be more suited for a Cool type, like Mio. Especially since she's always talking about having "Sparks." Luckily, we still get a sense of pop with the neon colored triangles, which I like very much! Especially since they have the breaking effect. I feel that hers' is the most unique out of everyone else's.

Fourth is Aine's!

Aine's aura was a little hard to figure out durin her first performance with Mio, but after watching it over a few times, then seeing it in a solo performance, I got it and really liked it! I liked that the musical notes are made out of heart shaped gems, as well as them having the breaking effect. The animators really should have thought of doing that for Laura''s. The golden rings added a nice touch as well. I can't tell what they both represent, but its obvious that she loves music and jewelry(?). The objects in her aura are definitely what you'd expect to see in a Cute type.

And last, but not least, we have Maika's!

Maika's aura definitely screams sexy when you see it. The butterflies made of light look amazing, and some have mentioned similarites to Ran Shibuki's aura when seeing them. The only thing that sets Maika's apart from Ran's is the breaking effect. I like that Maika's butteflies break into sparks of light! It looks amazing. Especially with the lighting of her stage. I don't know the representation, but I have noticed that her hair accessory's the shape of a butterfly. Then, there are the flames. This is the first time that we're seeing an idol with actual flames in their auram and it's quite amazing. Now, I know some people have been saying that Elza also had flames in hers', but no, she didn't! Those flames were an effect caused by her Sun Dress, the Eternal Queen Coord. The flames for Maika definitely represents how passionate she is about being the main model of the brand, Dancing Mirage, as well as becoming Diamond Friends alonside Ema Hinata as Honey Cat, like any other Sexy type would.

Well, that's it for today's blog! I have to hurry and get ready for work. Smh! In the meantime, feel free to leave a comment, expressing your opinion on each aura that was mentioned, as well as saying which is your favorite!

I hope you all have a good day, evening and night! 🙂
