24. banri can be pretty supportive of others and what they're into, especially when it's for the sake of their happiness or comfort!

26. in year 2 of A3!, banri chose to become a theatre and art major at veludo arts university!
27. even if it was at the last minute, and he was set to apply to top universities in the country, banri finally decided on what he wanted to pursue on his own. :')

38. banri tends to have really odd dreams, especially since several of his backstage stories feature them! (stranger SR, new years R, etc.)
39. in fact, banri's dreams / sleep talking is what exposed him as an idol stan?!
40. banri loves video games! even if he's on another level from other players, or even non-players, he can be very encouraging and enthusiastic about getting people roped into good games. he's also always willing to play with anyone that wants him in their party!
41. the only "downside" (for itaru and others, maybe!) about banri being such an avid gamer is that he is VERY competitive...!!
42. banri has a very determined gaze when he intends to win. it’s very intimidating, especially according to taichi and kazunari!
43. banri really does hate losing, and narrowly escaping a loss makes room for him to act cheeky! he’s kind of a sore loser...
44. despite being hell bent on winning, banri's willing to take a loss so long as it makes the other person happy. for example, he showed taichi his technique and even let him win the last match of their card game (mankai encore SSR)
(of course he won lots before, but... still!)
