Triple Booking -- Hanasaku ☆ Saikyo Legend Days(花咲く☆最強レジェンドDays)

 

Well, it comes in cycles but once again, I've returned to enjoy the simple pleasures of the long-running anime "Seitokai Yakuindomo"(生徒会役員共...Student Council Staff Members) with its treasure house of perverted sex jokes. It's from a manga but I can't believe the anime franchise has lasted well over a decade. 

The first season landed all the way back in 2010 with a second season coming several years later in 2014. Not surprisingly, the entire seiyuu cast didn't miss a beat or seem rusty, the dirty jokes and gags continued to gush forth like a massive flood of ji--...well you know what I mean.

Triple Booking(トリプルブッキング), the fictional aidoru trio voiced by Yoko Hikasa(日笠陽子), Sayuri Yahagi(矢作紗友里)and Satomi Sato(佐藤聡美), the same three behind the main characters of Shino, Suzu and Aria respectively, performed the opening theme for the first season, and they were back to do the second season's song "Hanasaku ☆ Saikyo Legend Days" (Blooming ☆ The Strongest Legend Days). Written by Hanai(花衣)and composed by Hiroki Arai(新井弘毅), it's a chugging rock tune compared to the cute synthpop of original theme song "Yamato Nadeshiko Education"(大和撫子エデュケイション)

I can't imagine what it must have been like in the studio when these guys were giving out their jokes during recording. Anyways, "Hanasaku ☆ Saikyo Legend Days" peaked at No. 24 on Oricon.

  1. The original run of the 生徒会役員共 went from May 2007 to November 2021 (and ran in two different magazins) so that is like 14 years. So, it has been pretty popular I guess.

    1. Hello, Brian. It's been very popular and the format is such that the scenes can be placed in easy bite-sized pieces on YouTube.
