I'm not really sure where to start with this, but... when I first heard that Kakupuri was shutting down I felt like I'd just got punched in the stomach. I cried for at least an hour that morning because Kakupuri was a huge comfort game for me... I have lots of happy memories of getting excited over new events and crying whenever Pink Lady got a new card. I'm so sad that I'll never get to see a new card of him be released (I'm also extremely sad I never got to rank for him,, I wasn't around when his fish 4* came out and he never got a rank 5*), but what I'm most upset about is. Pink Lady himself. I'll never be able to interact with him again, and I don't think that fact has completely registered in my brain yet despite how many times I've cried over it. Yes it's extremely sad that I'm this upset over a pile of pixels but I'm sure that you understand how I feel. Imagine one of your favourite games of all time with one of your absolute favourite characters in it just announced it was not only just shutting down the game, but shutting down the entire franchise completely. I'm sure you'd be distraught for a couple of days too. Or maybe you actually have a life idk! Regardless I'm making a carrd dedicated to my baby as a way of saying goodbye to him,,, a goodbye/maybe... just maybe, you'll return sometime in the future. If a miracle does happen and Kakupuri returns in some form, I'll be here with open arms to welcome him back.

Pink Lady

A girlish-boy cyber-idol.

Pink Lady likes cute things and wearing women’s clothing, and his sense of beauty is higher than most other women; making things a little awkward for himself. He does not like men, saying “I’ve never seen a prettier girl than myself.” He aspires to be a nationally-known idol, and his hobby is posting videos of his dancing. He does not deal well with hot and sweltering rooms.

I guess I'll start off with the day I first saw him. I was in my explore on Instagram when I came across a post with what looked to be cards for some game I had heard about before but never actually looked into (all I knew was that there was a guy in it called Salty Dog and that amused me because I'm 2 years old). On the first slide was a guy on a horse (Tom Collins' rank 5*), and that didn't particularly interest me, but then I swiped and I saw the cutest girl (he got me good I genuinely thought he was a girl) I'd ever seen in my entire life. It was honestly love at first sight... and then I read the caption and saw the name of the game: Cocktail Prince. I downloaded Kakupuri that night and began rerolling for his 4* (I looked him up just before downloading the game and my heart was entirely snatched he was the cutest compilation of pixels I'd ever seen and!! to be honest he still is,, out of all my faves he really is the cutest to me) which I got after a couple of rerolls and I was really excited despite having only known about him for a few hours prior to it. I set him as my main homescreen boy and then I heard his voice for the very first time. I cried, his voice was (and still is) absolutely and heartwrenchingly adorable, I love how it can go really high but also really deep his voice actor is amazing.

After that, I continued to play Kakupuri regularly! I got every single one of his cards that came out since I started playing (the only one I really had problems with was his Get Wild 5 star,, I did 3 pulls for him when he first came out and got 2 5* that weren't him! I was emotionally distraught for a full week afterwards :) that was fun. But Then !!! New Years rolled around and they did that revival gacha for some of the lims! I did the discount pull and the free tickets they gave us and I got. uh? Adonis and Kamikaze I think? which was nice, I was grateful for the new lim 5*s but they weren't Pink Lady. So I bought shards for the very first time in Kakupuri to do the guaranteed 5* pull! It was a 1 in 8 chance to get him and I was. Extremely nervous, if I didn't get him I was going to be . upset. very upset. but I bought the shards anyway and did the pull. I made the grave mistake of doing it while I was eating breakfast with my family though because! guess who came home. It took all my strength not to start sobbing right there and then. I can't describe the joy I felt when I heard his voice? and don't get me started on the line itself, it is. the absolute Cutest line in all of Kakupuri, it's probably my favourite line of his and it makes me so unbelievably happy. His Get Wild 5* is my dream card of him too, just... everything about it is perfect? I love soft cute pink fluffy things and all of those words can be used to describe that card. I'm so so so happy he came home in the end.

I'm typing this about... 2 weeks after Kakupuri shut down. I've been putting this off because! it still hurts a lot. but I need to finish this for him, he means too much to me to just. leave this here and never finish it. Honestly it doesn't really,,feel like the game is gone, probably because I wasn't really playing it much over the past 2 months since they announced it was being terminated. But I know it's gone and it'll probably never come back, and it hurts. It hurts that I won't be getting any new official Pink Lady content ever again (some fanartists are still truckin' on on twitter, bless their souls), and it hurts that they're just. ending the franchise completely. I'll get over it eventually of course, I just. yeah.,, uhm. not really sure how to end this! I feel like there's more I can say but I don't really. know what it is.? that sounds stupid but if I remember any other important details about my time with Pink-chan I'll be sure to type them up on here.
I guess I'll end this (for now) by saying... I love him. I love him more than I can even begin to describe in words, as cheesy as that sounds, and I'm so, so, so sad that he's.. pretty much gone, but. he'll live on in my heart. I'm so glad I was able to love the cutest personified cocktail cyber idol over the past 9 months, and I'll continue to love him.. forever I guess? maybe not actively but. he'll always be at the back of my mind and in my heart. ♡
