User blog:FanaticAnime/Idol Auras Cont. (Part Two)

Hello, Everyone!

Even though I've already talked about  the majority of the main casts' idol auras, there are two more that I'd like to discuss.

First, I'd like to start with the aura of Lilie Shirogane, who is a new character in the series. Covered in an ice blue glow, with purple glitter and fleur-de-lis symbols surrounding her, Lilie has a dual arched aura. One arch is made of two different chains. One is thick and purple, while the other is thin and dark blue. The other arch is made of two indigo segments that are knotted together, with blue spheres and sparkles decorating it.



I know that some of you weren't happy with Lilie's aura and expected something different. Especially those who thought she'd have a progression aura, like Hime and Yume. I even expected to see a progression aura from her.

In my opinion, there are things that I liked about her aura, but there's also somehing that I didn't like about it.

I liked that Lilie's glow is ice blue because it suits her. I mean, a cold breeze would pass by and send a chill down someone's spine whenever she'd walk into a room. I also liked that she has fleur-de-lis symbols circling around her. I could see the fleur-de-lis being another symbol to represent the Cool types in this series.

Moving onto the arches. I liked the knotted arch because of its colors and how its decorated. I say that because blue and purple happen to be my favorite colors. The spheres and sparkles were a nice addition and as strange as it may sound, they remind me of magic effects that you see in shows, where a character casts a spell, or uses a magic attack. Winx Club for example. The other arch wasn't to my liking. I didn't mind it, but like others have said, it's not what I expected. The chains, where one is thick and the other is small, made it look kind of weird. It went well with her backstory and the song, but I thought too much emphasis was put onto it.

In all, Lilie's performance reminded me of Sumire Hikami's performance of, "Queen of Roses", so my first impression of her wasn't bad.



Next, we have the combined, or should I say... unit aura of Yume Nijino, Laura Sakuraba, Ako Saotome and Mahiru Kasumi. Covered in a glow that represents each idol type; Yume's is pink for Cute, Laura's is blue for Cool, Ako's is yellow for Pop and Mahiru's is purple for Sexy. They're surrounded by glitter that's in the colors of the idol types, along with colorful bits that appear to be confetti. A sky blue lace design that's curving, with glowing gold music notes, circles the four idols. Purple bows are seen at each corner. An arch of spheres in the colors of blue, gold and green floats above them. Beneath each idol is a large pink circle.

I was surprised because it's early in the series, and it's the first time that a unit aura appeared since the original series ended. From what I learned about unit auras, they only appear when a group of idols have officially formed a unit, but I guess these girls thought differently.

I mean, Soleil, Tristar and Powapowa-Puririn were all formed in season one and their unit auras didn't appear until season three.

Moving on.... The combination of Ako's multi colored spheres, Laura's lace with music notes, Mahiru's bows and Yume's large circles with the multi colored confetti, was a sight to see and I look forward to seeing what S4's unit aura will look like.

There isn't much to say, except that I REALLY ​ liked their unit aura. I don't even have anything bad to say about it.

Although, it was a little difficult to figure out which part of the aura represented Yume. Some thought it was the gliiter, or the rainbow that appeared at the end of the performance. Obviously, I knew that the rainbow wasn't part of the aura because...
 * 1) The rainbow arches in Yume's progression aura aren't shaped like a regular rainbow, and the pattern spirals.
 * 2) That rainbow is part of the stage for Aikatsu Step.

It made me hope that these four become Hime, Tsubasa, Yozora and Yuzu's successors as members of S4, because I couldn't think of anyone else that's more deserving of those four posiitions. That's when I wondered what their Top Star Coords would look like when they all make it, but that's for another blog.

Well, that's all I have for today. I know that some of you have already expressed your opinions on Lilie's aura, but feel free to say more of what you think, or expected, in the comments. The same goes for Yume, Laura, Ako and Mahiru's unit aura, including what you hope to see in S4's.

Have a great day!
