While I understand the content is being removed, you keep saying you would like "official sources" - meaning "scans from the artbook that confirm this". Scans from this artbook do not exist fully online (I have researched). In order to produce these scans, one would have to purchase the book and make scans/copies of literally all of those related pages. I find that rather reduntant (making scans of all the pages?) but I would be willing to do it (sooner) to resolve this. If the artbook does confirm the others' "official ages" (for example, the translator also mentions Kido's "official age" is *also* listed as "17", too, despite Kido *chronologically* being 16/"younger than Kano" - I actually never knew this before the translator pointed it out, despite being in this fanbase and following news information for years) those can still be used as reference, while trivia notes can be made noting the chronological timing issues surrounding August 15th and related dates. This is the only way you would find an "official source" for this information that I know of ("online"). In the event that I obtain and/or list this information, how should I submit it to you, then? Through this response/another thread at a later time? (You closed the other before I could ask this...) I was pointing out Shintaro's age in the lyrics because before I thought before maybe the info on his age could have come from his page in the booklet (as you saw, it didn't) - his page wasn't linked on the tumblr post I found, so I wasn't certain. I apologize if that caused further confusion. But, the "Lost Time Memory" lyrics definitely state "18 year old [boy]" regardless, and I was pointing out that likely related to Shintaro's age confusion. "Lost Time Memory" is usually associated as "Shintaro's song". I was (attempting to) answer your (previous) question about how the age confusion could have come about to begin with. The Tateyamas info will take some time to cover, but it'd be covering Manga Route 2 and the last handful of / final novel(s). The distinction between "fosters" and "adopted" (in Japan, because of Japanese laws and cultural aspects, not in the English sense, where they're often considered "the same thing") is very important because Kido and Kano's relationship particularly has changed during this timeframe, to where they may not acknowledge each other as "siblings" (despite still seeing each other as "like a family" [not literal family]). There are many assumptions still being made about the familial terms used between the Trio, especially on Kido's page where only "citation needed" is noted ("brother" and "sister" - this is false. They only ever use these terms towards Ayano+Kenjirou (not Ayaka, to my knowledge, though I'll have to research and look up the specific kanji they around her appearances) and possibly between Kano and Seto in MCA only - never each other, and even the Kano and Seto moment doesn't happen in other official timelines.) The distinction is, again, important to understand the Japanese honorifics used between the Trio and how they're used, and timelines details. The "adoption" between the Tateyamas was not finalized and this is important (in the Japanese sense) to analyze their relationship using the official provided texts. If one were to update the Wiki pointing out their relationship had changed, articles continuing to list them as "siblings" would simply cause further confusion. Please let me know if this is understandable? (I am only pointing these things out in order to attempt to list accurate information, for the record. There are many things "lost in translation" because of this issue that would make little sense to one who does not understand Japanese terminology. I hope this makes sense and I apologize for any confusion.)
