ohh i havent heard anyone say that about ichika tbh thats interesting. i LOVE the covers so far. i dont rlly have too much to say about any of them tbh bc theres no fulls for any i dont play jpsekai so i dont get to hear them that much. ok actually im gonna go listen to them all again b2b brb

(eve from the future) hello. wow i forgot how many 3dmvs we've gotten recently lmao. THEYRE ALL REALLY GOOD yesss i stand by reallly loving them. i would not say theres a lack of power idkkkk. as for ichika not sounding like herself. eh i dont see it. or hear it lmao. anyways yeah i think this album has the potential to be my 2nd fave but rn its my 3rd. nothing will ever past 3rd album for me tbh bc it has all my faves but 2nd album is also really awesome. BUT YEAHH my only complaint is im hoping we get some duets bc we havent gotten a duet in a year and a half now... over two years since ichishihos last... but im feeling very great about this album. shinkai city is my fave but im biased bc ive been coping for that to be a leoni cover for a few years now and was very happy when i got it lol. also ichikas vocals there make me melt

the dont call me the walking leoneed ad for nothin. ohhh im so happy it interested you!! saki7 really is such a great event and i know even my nonleoni oomfs have been praising it very much. this question is so awesome im soooo glad you asked. another long ramble incoming gomen.

okay well to start personally i wouldnt actively tell anyone to skip any events. mainly bc i think theres something you can gain from every single leoni event, even the ones i dont think are very well written. like hell parallel harmonies is one of my least faves just bc of the missed potential and writing and that literally ends with leonis debut LOLL. so if you CAN id highly recommend reading all of them..!! just bc even events that arent as big a deal usually serve to set up the next story (except ichi6 rn but im hoping that they callback to it in shiho6 lol)

buuut if you really arent interested in reading every leoni event then ill list the ones that id probably call the most important and impactful... ugh this is really hard tho LMAOO bc like i said i enjoy pretty much every leoni event.

well... to start youd have to read main story if you havent. and then id go ahead and read saki and honamis first events. its the very beginning of developing their characters and allows you to gauge leonis dynamic at the beginning. honamis first event also teases leonis first arc. and then you literally have to read the entire rwy arc sorry. that includes ichishihos first mixeds, twiparade and sakura. then finally read the arc ender of rwy that is obviously very important i dont think i need to tell u how important it is LOLL.

unnamed harmony is a cute event that shows how well leoni interact and get one another and has saki trying to write leonis first song but you can probably skip it if you really felt like it id say... however i would say you should read ichikas first hako event knock the future just because its such a good exploration of her character and the a continuation of her stepping out of her shell. and also its leoneeds first liveshow so its a good read.

unwavering feelings... okay im so freaking biased bc its my second favorite leoneed event but id also say its a must read because its so very important for both honami AND shihos characters, as well as actually furthering the plot alongside those amazing character moments. its peak. its so peak.

then we get into that day the sky was far away which is the shiho middle school backstory event... its no doubt very very important for shihos own character and also very good. so i wouldnt recommend you skip it but if u werent feeling it i supposeee you could. it introduces a leoni npc who shows up again tho (briefly but like. idk). its a really great event !! i wouldnt skip personally.

live with memories is 100% a no skip THAT is def one of the most important events to read. its just so fucking good. probably the best ichika event still. very very good for ichikas character as well as the general themeing of leoni as a whole... introduces two new npcs... made me cry... yeah its awesome i love it. then nsnf and dlf are kind of a two parter so i wouldnt skip either of those bc nsnf is a very good saki introspection while also setting up dlf and dlf is SOO fucking important. its so powerful and its my third favorite leoneed event. i love it.

echo my melody u could skip if ur in a hurry lol. i enjoyed it but really you just need to get that ichika is gay and she learns how to compose online with kanades help. then they make a music video.

little bravers is very important. a no skip for sure. big step forwards for hona chan and the band. get over it... goi is so short that even if u didnt wanna read it really wouldnt take much time at all lol. its a cute lil event that moves the plot forwards. at the very least just read the text for it. tsunagu hoshi no uta is the arc ender and obviously really fucking important. and also really good. read that.

stick to your faith is the first event of the next arc and its cute and i enjoyed it but if ur not crazy for shiho u can skip. it sets up hona4 courage to lead which is NOT a skip. honamis best event. so good. then uhmm. parallel harmonies yay... i mentioned it earlier bc it ends with something that moves plot forwards and it slike fine enoughhh but u can probably just skip it and then read wl1. wl1 is really good. it has very good honami development. do not skip. whats next. oh yes THIS MOMENT WITH YOU !!!!!! not very important in the scheme of things but its my favorite ichika event and i think its very good for ichikas character so take it as you will...

def read saki6. kicks off this whole shit. ftdv Honestly. maybe a hot take but u can skip if u didnt feel like it. but also i wouldnt skip it just bc saki7 honestly feels like a follow up to it more than anything else so far this year LOLLL. its hype moments and arua and overall a fun time for leoneed and shiho is very happy and i think its nice. you can skip wl2. or just read ichikas chapters and the ending. yeah do that actually.

hona5 and ichi6 u can both probs skip if ur ready to get to saki7. ichi6 genuinely has no fucking relevance right now and the only part that isnt filler is the ending with shiho but until they follow up on that plot point then its like. Okay. i did enjoy the event tho i found it cute. i didnt like hona5 but it does establish that leoni have a one man live coming up that theyre going to write a new song for and also foreshadows the fact that honami will have to make a difficult choice in the future once honami events get good again. you can read it if you wanttt but like. honestly as i said saki7 feels like a followup to ftdv more than anything with hona5 only serving some plot.

well. thats all. sorry i know you were like What are some of the most important ones to read!!! and then i said well. all of them. but i just think that its hard to skip through unit events..!! OHHH ALSO i forgot to mention but READ RESOTOWN in between little bravers and get over it and read precious memories after the second arc ender. very important mixed events that are very good. uhm. if you read all of this and think. damn thats too much work i only wanna read a few leoni events. then read the rwy arc (twiparade, sakura, rwy), then uhmmm. idk unwavering feelings and live with memories. id still read nsnf. def dlf. little bravers. the arc ender. courage to lead. wl1 bc its good. saki6, ftdv, saki7. yeah i think thats probably good enough. buuut i cant recommend reading through all their stories enough. i know its a lot to get through but its just really rewarding to watch them grow, esp with where they all are now. i really enjoy this narrative switch theyve pulled with ichihonashiho becoming very developed and committed to their dream and sakis development Being the fact shes realized this isnt what she wants. and getting to watch these characters grow so much over the past 3+ years ive been in this fandom has been so amazing :')

thanks for the ask!! i had fun
