Whisper Me a Love Song Episode 7: The Violet Fiend

With the main heroines’ story pretty much finished it’s time for Best Girl to begin a journey to find her own happiness. Kumaria-sama knows she deserves it.

Having said that, I will ALWAYS crave more fluffy wuffy goodness from our sweet new couple. Thankfully the show continued to deliver on that front as seen here with Aki congratulating her worthy opponent on a well deserved victory but teasing her with a “But I’m still her best frieeeeend”. Told you Aki’s the best.

Jelly Himari is everything.

Like I said last episode. Himari oozes TOP energy. So good! Look at how lewd she is. Dang girl.

The awesome purple giant and the less awesome violet emo, both love interests of femme goddesses.

I haven’t seen a lesbian brag about having or being an awesome girlfriend this much since Amity Blight.

We need more open and proud lesbians like this in Yuri media please.

Back to the drama plot. Momoka convinced Shiho to stay behind and attend a cooking club meeting to discuss plans for the school festival. As they did so Himari learned Shiho was the infamous “invisible” 3rd member of the club and that Momoka, Hajime and Shiho were part of a trio band. Having seen how much fun Hiyori had in her new band Himari thought it was the same for Shiho. However, she’s more focused on proving herself as a great performer or something like that. Himari of course didn’t know all the details but commended Shiho for having a goal. Shiho also discovered the awesome power of Himari’s cuteness. The girl is incredibly hard to deny. Her purity hides the power of a shrewd businesswoman.

After more HimaYori bliss we continued the story with Yori inviting Aki over to her place. Poor dear’s heart bounced all over the place but had enough control to accept the invite. The reason Yori asked was because she noticed Aki feeling down ever since the encounter with Shiho. She wanted to know the full story.

Back in her pre-gyaru days Aki had heard of Shiho’s infamy as a drifting musician unable to stay in one group for long due to falling off with every single one. The reason was Shiho’s desire to become a serious musician and the need for her bandmates to have the same drive for success. Naturally this mindset rubbed most off the wrong way but Aki felt like giving the poor girl a chance and invited her to join the SSGIRLS. Although the girls weren’t mega stars they at least enjoyed playing together. At least, that’s how Aki felt about playing with Shiho.

However, one day Shiho up and decided the band sucked because they weren’t getting any better. Aki countered with a “Well if that’s how you want to play it your singing isn’t good either!” When asked what’s wrong with her singing Aki gave a constructive criticism but Shiho interpreted it as her sucking and instantly declared her departure from the “crappy band who refused to take music seriously”. Aki was offended and smacked the girl. Instead of walking away quietly she threw another verbal jab to rattle her. Had the big girl not stopped her there could have been a street fight but alas there wasn’t.

Back in the present Yori felt a little relieved that her joining the band didn’t cause a fracture. Shiho left on her own volition. She cheered Aki up by saying she enjoyed being part of SSGIRLS.

The next scene were the auditions. Of course the only ones featured were our main heroine band and the antagonists, meaning Team Shiho.

As for their song…eh. They had an appropriate “we are the antagonist band” beat…but the lyrics were so “K-ON! SUCKS!” I couldn’t take it seriously. I said before in my GIRLS BAND CRY coverage that the mainstream enjoy songs that can be best described as “whining with style” but this was way too whiny for me. Like an emo kid saying “Look how cool I am because I wanna be a badass loner and screw friendship”. Again good beat, lame lyrics.

Anyway the song was whatever. Typical “loner villain” or “future member of the hero team who needs to be taught a lesson before joining” stuff. The real meat and potatoes came when Shiho asked Aki what she thought about her song.

Aki: Why do you care about my opinion?

Shiho: Just curious.

Aki: It was good (Hah). Really good.

Shiho: That’s not what I meant. I wanna I know if I was better than the girl you love.

Aki: W-what are you talking about?

Shiho: Don’t play dumb. I knoooow.

The reason I wasn’t upset by Shiho’s actions last time or this episode was because I knew she hid something a “bitch wall”. Maybe her motives are partially related to becoming a serious musician but my best guess was she learned about Aki’s crush on Yori and went on a lone wolf warpath. Also ever since that criticism by Aki I think Shiho has made it her goal to prove to her how amazing she can be and regret her criticism. That explains why Shiho got triggered after seeing Yori “take her old spot”. Again there may be more to it but this is my best guess. Deep down Shiho wants Aki’s taco.

Good stuff as always.
