▎ ❶ ﹕ August 31, 2022.
SEOLHA's Studio.

　 ━ 　 Prepare me a BANANA SHAKE.

SEOLHA's request couldn't have been more simple, yet there MOKA was, staring at her dumbfounded. Did I hear her right? Is she insane? What does making a banana shake have to do with this?

　 ━ 　 Is this your reply to my question?

　 ━ 　 What?

　 ━ 　 I'm here because I want to join your group, and they told me I needed to get your... Approval?

　 ━ 　 Yeah, and you better convince me with this. Move.

What a weird person, MOKA thought, sighing as she started following through with SEOLHA's request. As she grabbed the ingredients right in front of her, that stupid song she heard once started playing in her head almost immediately. MOKA hummed along, grabbing the milk from the mini fridge on her left and the bananas from the basket right on top of it.

　 ━ 　 ♫ If you peel off a banana peel in 5 pieces, you're a person~ ♫ And if you peel it in 4, you're a monkey ♫

As soon as SEOLHA heard that, watching as MOKA peeled the banana in five, she dropped her phone and rushed towards the table.

　 ━ 　 You're in. Welcome on board... LOVEbug MOCA !

　 ━ 　 And you're in... In-sane...

What a weird person.

Atlantic Apex in Alignment ❪ Korean: 아틀란틱아펙스인얼라인먼트 ❫, mostly referred to as AAA ❪ Korean: 에이에이에이 ❫, is a 4-member girl group formed by NOTES KIT. The quartet consists of seol-haHAha, LOVEbug MOCA, CASSY and gaia. They debuted on January 8, 2023 with the eponymous extended play, Atlantic Apex in Alignment, led by the title track "Generation".

The group is known for various pre-debut activities, with LOVEbug MOCA promoting as a member of the Woollim Entertainment girl group NGC 292 from 2020 to 2022, while seol-haHAha was announced as part of SMROOKIES ❪ SR16G ❫ under the stage name Linnea; although the other two members didn't promote as idols before debuting in AAA, they were already known for their presence on social media ━ notably Twitter ❪ X ❫.

The quartet has recently acquired notoriety for its affiliation to the Seiyuu Academy franchise, mostly due to LOVEbug MOCA becoming an host for the second installment of the show ❪ under her real name, Hanazawa Moka ❫ and CASSY being recognized as one of the emergent #syatwt icons.

On November 30, 2024, it was announced that CASSY would graduate from the group by the end of the year and permanently retire from the entertainment industry. On January 1, 2025, NOTES KIT announced the addition of the new member Aisling, personally selected by seol-haHAha and CASSY.

🎀⃝ FEVEN's Notes ◌ ◌ ◌ Welcome to Banana Shake! Please, read these notes before moving on to the next chapters.

 ▎ ❶ ﹕ Initial notes.

For those of you who are new here, these four are part of the Seiyuu Academy universe, although―compared to groups like niveau seuil and cineorama―they are to be considered secondary characters; still, they're very dear to me and I wanted to give them the spotlight they deserve!

I will be handling them a bit differently compared to niveau seuil, with the main change being the way I create their releases: instead of relying on line distribution videos of pre-existing tracks, I will make a lyrics video of the title track and create a soundboard to give you an idea of what any other track in the albums sound like; this opens up many more possibilities to me all while not taking away songs that could be used from any main OC in universe.

▎ ❷ ﹕ Warnings and Other Disclaimers.

Useless disclaimer, but just in case: this is a work of fiction not meant to accurately depict the idol industry, nor do I associate the characters' personalities and personal lives with their faceclaims; although I strive to be as realistic as possible, I also want to have fun and for this reason I might be implementing elements that wouldn't make sense in real life.

Triggering topics will be properly tagged at the beginning of each part. Please, feel free to let me know if I missed any! I'm only human and bound to make mistakes, but I don't bite if they're politely pointed out to me. Thank you!

Last, but not least, I own nothing but the story and two characters, seol-haHAha and LOVEbug MOCA, with the others being original creations of my friends who consented to me using their characters to my own liking within the limits of their original plans. For details regarding anything else, check the next section.

▎ ❸ ﹕ Credits.

The layout of this book was created by me without any specific inspiration in mind, though if you consider it similar to yours or anyone else's I'd appreciate for you to point it out politely so we can sort things out! I don't allow replicas of my layout, but you can ask to reprise smaller elements if you wish―with credits, that is.

The graphics are all self-made on Paint.net and ezgif.com, no pre-made filters or PSDs applied to the pictures as I prefer to manage color settings manually instead. The cast graphic specifically takes inspiration from one of my favorite Nintendo games ever, Imagine: Ballet Star, while the ending GIF is entirely original in its conception but it contains a monkey vector by Muhammad Abbrory on Vecteezy, so credits for the resource to him. <(＿　＿)>

Any line distribution video featured in the book is made by the lovely Rune: it goes without saying you shouldn't take them and use them for your own works under any condition, as they're custom-made for me. Other contributions will be credited accordingly under the chapters where you can find them.

▎ ❹ ﹕ Tags.

Last but not least, tags!

My main dedications go to Jia and Nabi ❪ even if the latter is currently, and likely permanently, inactive... ❫ for creating gaia and CASSY respectively, as well as Rune for the consistent support and offering Aisling to me. I'll make sure to treasure them all of your lovely creations ( •̀ ω •́ )y

Secondly, I'm extremely thankful to Neiya, Natalie, Ven, Sam and Kiri for offering their lovely OCs as friends to the members... Sorry for not including all of your OCs in the graphic, but they'll definitely be present in the book and I'm looking forward to writing about them and my own!

Last but not least, tags for everyone who asked! A huge shout-out to Marcela in particular since she's made it very clear she was missing the girls, and that in itself was a huge motivation boost. Thank you so, so much!
