Nene’s Role in Wonderlands x Showtime

The release of The Miniature Garden’s Coral seems to have confirmed some things I’ve recently speculated might transpire in future Wonderlands x Showtime events-- namely regarding Nene and how she may actually be the most important member of the troupe-- so, let’s talk about them! I’ll be using zui’s lyrics video for my translations, so hopefully they’re accurate.

With the past couple of WxS events in mind, it’s easy to see that this 3DMV is also about endings. While the MV begins in a sunny blue afternoon light...

...the characters and set eventually bask in a beautiful sunset orange, signaling the end of the day. The lyrics even mention being “between the end of the blue sky and the beginning of the night sky,” further emphasizing that we’re in the middle of the story. When the sky is blue, the troupe expresses uncertainty: Rui mentions that he feels lost, and Tsukasa, scared. But eventually, Nene admits that, in this beginning period, she was “spoiled by the sound of the waves,” AKA that the commotion surrounding WxS’s formation led to a troupe that became a source of comfort for all of them.

Once the sun sets, there are a lot of “even ifs.” Nene sings about how she’ll continue to sing this song, even if things are starting to look unsteady and she’s not sure if she should proceed. However, by the end of the song, she resolves to "still sing this song” while keeping up a smile.

I think that the fact that Nene says she will sing this song is incredibly important, because, as established, this song is about endings. Meanwhile, back in Mr. Showtime, Tsukasa firmly didn’t want WxS to end, and was holding out until closing time. Rui’s What Sort of Ending Are You Wishing For? and Emu’s Starry Sky Orchestra seemingly both acknowledge an ending as well, but it’s not at all easy. Rui seems to fall into a resigned depression at the thought, keeping a whimsical facade up when the very thought of separating kills him inside. The thought haunts him, MV riddled with hourglasses that he can’t get out of his head. Emu can only tolerate taking the first step towards a breakup with tooth-rottingly sugarcoated promises of eternal togetherness and literally holding hands as they go (I love her btw this is not Emu slander). She never even says the word “end,” only “tomorrow.”

Rui, Emu, and Tsukasa are basically Denialx3. Rui tries to deny his emotions regarding disbanding, Emu tries to deny that the ending is coming at all, and Tsukasa tries to deny that there’s nothing he can do to keep them from inevitably drifting apart. And that’s where Nene comes in again.

Rui’s dream is to perform technically complex shows that will resonate with an audience. He can do that from Phoenix Wonderland. Emu’s dream is to keep the Wonder Stage up and operating forever. She has to do that from Phoenix Wonderland. Tsukasa’s dream is to become the number one world star and make everyone smile. While this would likely take him away from the park, in another story, I could see it being possible that, in the end, Tsukasa decides that making the people in his local community happy is more important than trying to change the entire world. Thus, he could also follow his dream from Phoenix Wonderland, even if it’s not ideal.

But then there’s Nene. Her dream is, and always has been, to perform in Broadway musicals. Broadway is a live performance in New York City. There is no possible way for Nene to get what she wants while staying in Phoenix Wonderland. And that is possibly why Wonderlands x Showtime’s ending is the easiest for her to process.

Now, I’m not trying to say that Nene doesn’t love her friends. She adores them. Her three previous commissions have proven that. It’s the amount of love she has for them that will propel her to make what is actually the best choice for their dreams. Nene is the little mermaid, both when swimming freely the oceans with a beautiful, unstoppable song, and when enduring pain herself to stand with and for the ones she loves. Her friends, in this situation... are coral.

Remember that coral, “blurred” and uncertain in the water and “stained orange by the setting sun”? The miniature garden is Phoenix Wonderland; the coral is Emu, Rui, and Tsukasa; and that coral is stained orange by its desperation to keep rereading the final chapter instead of closing the book for now and putting it away to revisit in the future. Coral, while a beautiful living organism, is also completely static.

Static like stone statues which, at least by my interpretation, is what the rest of WxS turns into at the end of the 3DMV. The three of them (and Kaito) are paralyzed with the fear of the suffering an ending would bring. Only Nene is alive and human to be the one to show the group the benefits it can bring as well.

There are a lot of aspects of this song and Nene’s entire personality that lead me to believe that she will be the one to bring about change in WxS. First, she most often “has the braincell,” so to speak. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she performs this song with Kaito, the most mature of the WxS vocaloids, either. During April Fool’s 2023, she was put into the Solid Heart class. One might think that troupe leader Tsukasa should be the Solid Heart, and that shy Nene should be the Cautious Heart, but they (accurately) sorted it the other way.

Nene is a very strong-willed person. In other stories, it might be seen as a negative that Nene is always the most hesitant one to get into shenanigans, or that she would even dare to be the one to suggest a WxS split in the first place. What an ungrateful wet blanket Nene is, willing to throw away her friends for the sake of her own selfish dream. But in this story, staying at Phoenix Wonderland isn’t really what will make Rui or Tsukasa happy, and even Emu may have to graduate to focusing on the entire company instead of just one stage someday.

Nene’s friends brought her out of the darkness and into the light of day, and she is so grateful for that. She knows how amazing they are, which is how she knows that they can make more friends and continue to do even more amazing things in the future if they can bear to leave their high school part-time jobs behind and enter the real world, just like her.

So, Nene’s role is to be Wonderlands x Showtime’s guiding light. She’ll tell Rui what sort of ending she’s wishing for, and then console him when he can’t repress his tears. She’ll be the one to hold Emu’s hand while they take that next step into tomorrow. Her three best friends helped her to grow from the loner who operated a robot from the theme park bushes, and she’ll help them step out of that theme park and be who they truly want to be.

There is one other thing I wanted to mention, though...

Tsukasa.

As I mentioned previously, while all three of Rui, Emu, and Tsukasa are in denial, Tsukasa is the most actively in opposition to an ending. He’s also the troupe leader, and the sole creator of the Wonderland Sekai. If someone is going to actively try to stop Nene from suggesting separation, it’s definitely going to at least start with him. But as Nene has already stated in The Miniature Garden’s Coral, despite any opposition that makes her question whether or not she should proceed, she already plans to continue singing her beliefs about a bittersweet yet timely goodbye.

And, their conflict is something that’s basically been foreshadowed from the beginning too, right? Nene has always roasted Tsukasa, giving a counterpoint to his blindingly bright worldview. In upcoming chapters, however, I believe that may start to transform from simple fun banter into a genuine conflict with clear sides drawn...

And THAT’S why ColoPale gave them Childish War.

Nenekasa nation get ready, ‘cause I don’t think this is the last Nene and Tsukasa fight we’re going to see.

if I had a nickle for every time david tennant as the doctor avoided regeneration and changing his face by splitting into two so that ultimately his companion could keep a (domestic) version of him by their side and he could have "the one adventure he never had".... I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

#who knows how many more david tennants are out there #i mean at this rate they can fill up half the universe that the flux destroyed just with more characters all played by david tennant #and you bet your ass I'd tune in to watch #this is not me complaining #because the absolute joy of seeing that personification of anxiety get to REST????? #and let himself be COMFORTED??? #unmatched #also NCUTI WAS INCREDIBLE??? #can't wait for all that is next #maybe pop by 14s shed in donnas garden every couple seasons #to give david a hobby to come back to every few years #doctor whi #doctor who 60th anniversary #dw the giggle #the giggle #dw #david tennant

[musicismymoirail]

Played @infamous-if because I just can’t resist music drama, especially duet ex-best friend drama?!? Like! Sign me right the fuck up with that shit! Los Campesinos! is my favorite band, do you have any idea how many songs I can just binge for inspiration? So many! :D

The demo is an absolute delight, I highkey recommend it. All the characters are so charming and it gave me a lot of nostalgia for back when I rped on forums, especially the tour ones. x) <3 It’s a nice vibe to revisit. I can’t wait for more and to make more little angsty singers on the course to ruin their lives~~

But for now, I just have X.O. Kiss. Because I’ve been sitting on that name forever and it’s about time I used it~ I’m still not entirely sold on a band name yet, but maybe The Blue Mondays?? Vonnegut references, ftw?

And here’s some random little tadbits about X.O. because why not?

»» X.O. Kiss is very much xer birth name, suck it haters. I haven’t fully decided on what the initials stand for, mainly because I’m waiting for more parent info. The idea is X.O. parents were ...ah, artsy free-spirits who enjoyed mind-altering substances prior to xer birth, and maybe trip a bit hard with the sky telling them they were destined to birth a beautiful soul named  ✨ Xanadu Opaline ✨  Now. In the nine months between that and actually birthing X.O., did they have a change of heart? Not sure yet. They def kept the XO initials tho. 

»» Said parents stopped the artsy free-spirit thing a few years later anyways. I imagine they’re corporate shills now. If they ended up sticking with Xanadu Opaline, they def gave X.O. a list of new names at like age eight like ‘we fucked up. pick something better. :)’ and X.O. kept Xanadu Out Of Spite.

»» Story says East Coast?? So? Can be from Boston (or the South Shore at least, Quincy? Maybe)???  While xe does love performing, Big Stadiums and Excessive Fame isn’t really xer end goal. But! God, xe would kill a man to perform at Fenway just once. 😍 

»» Just once though, any more is overkill.

»» X.O. is ...honestly weirdly competent? Xe puts out an remarkably cute and airheaded persona when on stage and I imagine when people meet xem off-stage for the first time, they’re super taken back by the monotone and unimpressed little chain-smoker who actually Knows Xer Shit. “It is what it is” is like xer eternal mantra. Not apathetic, just very pragmatic? Orion and xem probably get along decently well (chain-smoking aside).

»» X.O. listened to Heart Swells 100-1 / I Just Sighed. I Just Sighed, Just So You Know arguably too much after the break with Seven. Like they’re both still in xer Yearly Top Ten, near the top. It’s a cacophonic bop, don’t judge xem.

‘Just let me be the one that Keeps track of the moles on your back I just sighed, the universe replied "Let this pass you by" 🎶 

»» Oh! I forgot about A Slow, Slow Death! 😭 😭 😭  Oh god, just imagining like Rowan, Iris or Devyn stopping by xer apartment and hearing A Slow, Slow Death playing and them just dead-stopping like ‘oh no, it’s a Bad Day. o__o;;’ 

You on a lilo Are an island of the Pacific And then me, me, I am face down In a puddle on the High Street I got your initials inside a heart tattoo We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup

»» X.O. just tends to eat down all xer emotions. Singing is like xer one outlet, so it’s sing or let everything bottle up until it all comes out in a violent torrent of tears and screaming for last all of ten minutes before xe goes back to default settings. So, xe sings.

»» X.O. loves duets and loves singing with other people. It’s a trip and seriously one of xer favorite things. Like, it’s how xe Always pictured xer imaginary band, even in the days before Seven. So having their fans and then rest of the band basically be like ‘okay buuuuuuuuut’ before Logically Rejecting that part of xem? X.O. still hasn’t entirely forgiven anyone involved. Not the fans for suggesting, not the rest of the band for listening, not Seven for leaving and not xemself for ...every other minor and major detail really. It’s not unforgivable, of course, but xe takes rejection a lot harder than xe outwardly projects. So it lingers, underneath everything, like the mildest cold. Always there in just so slightly dampen xer days.

»» “It is what it is.” Xe just sighs.

It's a minor detail and I can recall this happening twice, but it's nice to me whenever Yuji displays his strength and speed, the first person that comes to mind from other characters is Maki.
