It’s Trivia Tidbit Tuesday!

In Episode 6 of The Animation, Minamimoto recites a mnemonic rhyme to remember the digits of pi. In the poem "Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling..." every word has the exact number of letters as a digit of pi!

To illustrate this visually: pi is 3.14159265358979[...] and each word in the poem has the exact number of letters as a digit of pi: Sir (3), I (1) bear (4) a (1) rhyme (5) excelling (9)... and so on!

Compared to the game, he simply recites all the numbers!

In Solo and Live Remix, Coco had her own shop by the name of "Coco's Secret Reaper Shop"! On iOS and Android it had in-app purchases with real-life currency. Though unlike other shopkeepers, she did not have a Friendship Gauge.

In Live Remix, Coco not only ran a shop, but also acted as a guide to the game!

 It’s Trivia Tidbit Tuesday!

The Shinjuku Reapers' names, Noise forms, and birthdays are based on Hanafuda, which are japanese playing cards!

Tetsuya Nomura confirms this in the December 22nd 2021 Famitsu interview. (found here)

(Additional info under the cut)

Tsugumi’s noise form is Grus Cantus, the crane. Furthermore, the first kanji in her surname Matsunae means pine tree (松 matsu), both of which are associated with January (birthday 1st January).

We never see Shoka’s noise form, but the flower for March is the cherry blossom, which is contained in her surname Sakurane (birthday 30th March).

Similarly, Ayano’s noise form is based on the Iris, which is the flower for the month of May (birthday 18th May).

Shiba’s noise form is butterflies, as seen in the card for June (birthday 21st June).

The sake cup card for September specifically represents the ceremonial cup called sakazuki, which is Hishima’s surname (birthday 7th September).

The animal for the month of october is the deer, which is Susukichi’s noise form (birthday 13th October).

Lastly, the “rain man” card for the month of November is called Ono no Michikaze in japanese, and Ono is Kaie’s surname (birthday 3rd November).

Additionally, Nomura adds that the naming motif for the main characters is related to plants and sounds!

Rindo -> Kanade (to play an instrument, esp. string instruments) | Rindo (Gentiana scabra)

Shoka -> Sakurane (sound) | Shoka (Hydrangea)

Fret -> Furesawa (Fret=Guitar) | Tosai (Peach Blossom)

Nagi -> Usui (Flute/whistle) | Nagi (Nageia nagi, the Asian Bayberry tree)

It’s Trivia Tidbit Tuesday!

The Irregular Note pin set in TWEWY is based on the Three Wise Monkeys proverb "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The last, fourth monkey is only sometimes included in the proverb, and it represents "Do no evil"!

It’s Trivia Tidbit Tuesday!

In TWEWY, if you rearrange the 7 trade-only pins in order of how many gems they have, you also get the 7 colours of the rainbow!

Additionally, you encounter these pins one after another in this numerical order in the game, beginning at Scarletite!

Back in 2009, Square Enix released a short TWEWY manga illustrated by artist Shiro Amano! It was also officially translated into English.

Keep in mind that it is only 2 chapters long and is a lot more lighthearted with comic relief! With that said, you can read it here.
