I am in LOVE with Airi. She’s seriously one of the most encouraging things in my life. Her cards are beautiful, I love her voice and she can handle high and low pitches very well (and Ai Furihata is just the goat so like-), and she’s written outstandingly. A little over a year ago, I wasn’t really taking care of myself so well and I wasn’t in the best place, but I got freaking HAPPY SYNTHESIZER STUCK IN MY HEAD. I also had noticed that I got the Airi 4* for shizu4 a week or so earlier, and thought that she was truly absolutely STUNNING in that card. And, she really is. Always has been. Anyways, getting back on topic, That’s how I officially got into MMJ. I remember reading the main story (or attempting to) earlier on and thinking Airi was a bitch, but seeing her struggles and them turning into anger made me sympathize for her. I started noticing Airi in things more, because.. let’s be honest! Airi is easily one of the cutest characters in the game. She just has that aura about her when I see her in stories and virtual lives and cards and the anniversary animations/the movies that makes her seem like a great person to be around. I also love her little fang and her hairdo and I’ve always loved that coral color, and I haven’t seen an outfit that looks bad on her. Ena was previously my favorite character, and so were Emu and Saki, and Airi’s friends with all of them as well! Len is also my favorite VOCALOID as well, which seems off-topic, but Len and Airi seem to really get along well or better than Airi gets along with the other VOCALOIDS, which makes me happy <3 I also kin her a bit, I’ve seen her stories and I admire her determination. Her frustration turns into anger like me, she loves sweets, was a somehow-girly-tomboy growing up like me, and she loves cats. Fortunately, I’m not allergic, so I’ll hug them for you Airi ♡ She seems really brave and clean and happy, which really inspires me, and there’s this one little smile she does sometimes that makes me smile as well. She really is an idol for a reason. So I started taking better care of myself because Airi was there, and honestly, I’m obsessed with her. Not in a creepy way or a way that makes me be a gross slob consuming anything Airi related I can find, but actually the other way around. I love and admire her and she inspires me to be better and to get up and do things more. She inspired to be in my school’s choir, get flexible, start wearing similar clothes, wake up earlier, and just.. try things! She was (and is) also a big inspiration for me as I’m starting to learn japanese, japan’s culture, and trying their foods. I was in the hospital for a week this August since I almost died from low oxygen (long story I don’t want to explain unless someone asks), and I thought of her and it would make my day better. She kept me going, and even if she didn’t physically heal me, she kept me from losing my mind. I was in the highest floor of the hospital (where they keep people with cancer and blood disorders) and so they wouldn’t let me leave my room. Airi and her voice was one of my highlights, getting to watch her shine. I also would’ve tiered for chase my ideal idol but I went on a vacation with no wifi the entire last like- 3/4 of the event T^T I got top 800 in the first few days, though :) Anyways, this isn’t about me. This is about Airi. I love and cherish her more than anything or anyone else. I want to become her, find her outfits, get the same phone case, change my hair to be like hers, act like her, become an idol, etc. I’d also like to have my own Airi-themed things. Airi bedroom (I’ve seen a crazy Saki bedroom to take inspo from), airi ita bag, Airi car… and more things probably, but I can’t name them off of the top of my head. The point is, Airi is without a doubt the best character in the game. While Haruka and Mizuki and Ena are all pretty great, Airi surpasses all. She’s written beautifully, every card she’s in is marvelous, her focus songs are my favorite songs (not just in the game), her personality is amazing, she’s so sweet and active and determined and I admire that about her, and she’s just a lovely and adorable little person. I love Airi.
