Who Is The Balladeer Kissing?
Fans of The Balladeer might want to sit down for this one. Our fave seems to have a new flame!
This week, singer and world-renowned i-pop idol Scaramouche, better known as The Balladeer, was spotted close with a stranger in a public park.
With seemingly no care in the world, he was seen arm in arm with a beautiful blond man under the sunsettia trees during what we can only assume to have been a romantic summer picnic. The photos currently circulating social media show a scene that could be straight (or not so straight!) from a rom-com.
Usually known for his dark, conservative colours, Scaramouche expressed the lightness of the moment with a lavender shirt that one of our fashion experts has identified as part of the new Chiori summer collection. His shorts are the same he wore during his last album promotion, which sold out right after. His partner seems to prefer the middle-class ways of shopping, with no discernible brands picked out from the, albeit grainy, photos. Together, they still look the picture-perfect summer couple, blending beautifully with the bright green grass and sweet flowers.
According to our source, they were seen “kissing passionately like a pair of teenagers” on their shared blanket, and “feeding each other wolfhooks”. Completing the storybook look, they were sitting on their checkered picnic blanket with an actual picnic basket, which showed bottles of cider and packages of sweets. If you want to copy their look, we have the perfect picnic starter pack for you right here!
After the disastrous end of Scaramouche’s last relationship, fans have been wondering when we would hear news about his romantic endeavours, but many were still surprised by the suddenness of it all. We, and them, are also quite baffled that Scaramouche, someone who was previously so tight-lipped about his relationships, chose to spend such a public date with his new beau. Perhaps this marks a new chapter of his life, one in which he shares more about himself, and allows fans to be privy to the matters of his heart!
While we cannot give you details on his beau just yet, we will keep both eyes open and share any and all new details as soon as we can! In the meantime, let’s give Scaramouche’s latest album another listen. Perhaps there are hints there as to how long this relationship has been going on!

A History of The Balladeer's Past Relationships
If you’re into Inazuma’s long-standing idol culture, the name The Balladeer, also known as Scaramouche, might be familiar to you. Chances are, you’re quite as obsessed with the juxtaposition between his melancholic and heartbreaking lyrics and the bright and cheerful rhythm of his music as we are. Like us, you’ve probably also wondered about the personal life of your favourite idol, and the romantic experiences that lead someone to write Raiden Gokaden like it’s nothing.
Today, we have compiled a complete list of all rumoured and confirmed relationships and partners Scaramouche has had over the course of his career, starting at the very beginning during his training for multiple idol-groups, including 4NEMO and ViridescentV, during which he was first discovered and subsequently became a Stan-Teyvatter favourite.
Click the name to learn more about the corresponding section.
2015-2016: Aether
Aether and Scaramouche first met during training for 4NEMO, an ex-group under the lead of Venti that broke up just two years ago. With the two of them being the same age and similarly established in the idol world at the time, sparks soon began to fly between them.
While neither of them have ever outright confirmed any of the relationship rumours between them, allegedly due to fear of backlash, a closer look at their familiarity and closeness in their interactions makes it easy to tell that there was something more going on.
Specifics of their break-up never reached the public, though they have reportedly cut contact since. At the time of their relationship ending, speculations about the involvement of Aether’s twin sister circulated, which both parties denied independently from each other. Their continued avoidance of each other suggests that they are still not on speaking terms and makes us wonder just what happened between them back then.
2019: Zandik
Trying to gain success in the same genre, the two of them were somewhat competitors while contracted under the Fatui label. Many fans, however, considered their consistent rivalry a PR stunt to garner attention and publicity for both of their releases at the time.
Looking back at their success seven years ago, it’s hard to deny that it worked — whether there was something more intimate going on behind the scenes or not. According to sources, the two of them have not reconciled after The Balladeer’s resignation from the Fatui label, and speculations about whether their feud had something to do with him leaving continue to float the web.
Zandik himself left the Fatui label five years later to pursue a career far removed from music, reportedly cutting contact with most of the label’s other members and staff in the process.
2020: TARTAGLIA
The chemistry between Scaramouche and Ajax, better known as award winning actor Tartaglia (stylized TARTAGLIA), was undeniable even to the untrained eye. Fans followed their growing familiarity with each other eagerly, finding their dynamic to be intriguing and playing off each other nicely.
According to rumours, the two of them met on the set of Hyperborea — the Golden City for which Scaramouche recorded the end credit song in early 2020. Although their initial meeting did not go over all too smoothly, they soon got along well, spending hours together and being seen taking the same car to TARTAGLIA’s hotel on multiple occasions.
Neither of them ever confirmed any of the rumours, despite evidence pointing to a month-long situation going on between them. Their relative lack of subtlety during this time is also the reason fans immediately noticed when something was off — where they are pictured together on TARTAGLIA’s Instagram, descriptions have been edited down, sightings in taxis or clubs suddenly stopped, and Scaramouche even went as far as privating multiple posts from his own social media mentioning his frequent outings with TARTAGLIA.
We cannot blame him for wanting to wipe away all evidence of this fleeting infatuation — we all make questionable dating decisions at 22.
2022: Heizou
After Scaramouche’s return to Inazuma, he naturally reconnected with childhood friend Heizou Shikanoin.
According to Scaramouche, Heizou would take him along to different places in an attempt to reintegrate him into the friend group, with differing success. During this time, they were often seen engaged in passionate conversations and paying the people around them little attention.
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume there was something more going on between the two of them, especially after Scaramouche’s public albeit cautious coming out around the same time.
They were seen together countless times, visiting festivals and restaurants both with company and without. Whether their decades-long friendship had blossomed into something more during this year remains a mystery, but the ease in their interactions with each other to this day is undeniable. Sparks were flying between them — and they are likely to still be flying the next time they're seen together.
2023-2025: Kazuha
His longest relationship to date was confirmed by both Breeze’s Kazuha and Scaramouche himself at the time.
Despite sharing that they were dating, both of them remained tight-lipped about how or when they met and other similar details about their shared personal lives.
During their almost two-year relationship, they had been seen out together on multiple occasions, going as far as attending industry events as each other’s dates. The people around them described them as ‘deeply enamoured’ and recalled how they would whisper to each other constantly.
Details on the eventual end of this relationship remain blurry and speculative, as neither of them ever offered a public statement about the matter beyond confirming that they are broken up.
2025: Sethos
After his break-up with Kazuha that left the world heartbroken, Scaramouche moved to a whole different country to leave the past behind himself. Some might consider this a rather dramatic reaction, but we understand him completely.
Getting settled in Sumeru turned out to go smoothly, thanks to the patronage of Nahida, who manages a branch of Irminsul, and Scaramouche’s newly appointed social media manager Sethos.
Though it is rarely advisable to blur the lines between work and private life, Sethos and Scaramouche struck up a friendship in the many hours of the day that they spend together.
Whenever they're spotted together, which happens a lot, they seem to be enjoying each other’s company greatly, trading jokes and affections in a familiar manner.
It remains to be seen when they'll offer a statement about their relationship to each other, but we will be waiting eagerly for the details. One thing is for certain: the change of scenery has done Scaramouche good, and we are happy to see him smile again as much as he does in Sethos’ company.

Devastating Loss — Genius Invocation TCG Master Cyno Leaves World Championship in Semi-Finals
This weekend, three-times world champion Cyno left fans disappointed by officially ending his winning streak in his match against youngest ever championship player Timmie.
If we take a look at the deck both players used, it quickly becomes evident why this match was so tough. Previously critisised by fans, Cyno stuck to his traditions and used the same deck he has won plenty of matches with before, with the player cards being his own, Razor, and Xingqiu.
"It's not a bad deck," Genius Invocation TCG expert Tomoki says. "Every deck has potential to be a winning one, it really depends on the support cards. And from what we saw on Saturday, Cyno didn't choose those well enough. Personally, I always equip another Mondstadt Hash Brown or a Butter Crab over a Teyvat Fried Egg. Once a character is down, bringing them back is not worth spending two elemental die on. The trick is to keep them alive at all cost."
So while many fans were baffled at how Timmie's deck, consisting of Benny, a Stonehide Lawachurl, and Barbara, managed to beat Cyno in only seven rounds, the healer might be the secret.
We are curious to see whether the finale will prove so as well and perhaps inspire Cyno to change up his player cards for next time.
The second semi-final is scheduled for 6pm Sumeru Standard Time tonight, so check out our time zone converter to see what time to tune in! Nasrin, who lost to Cyno just last year, will be competing against newcomer Dehya with not yet revealed decks. A source tells us that both of them will be using previously unseen character combinations. We are on the edge of our seats to see who will be playing against Timmie for the title of world champion.
And to Cyno we say don't despair, there will always be another championship, and while some fans may be jumping ship, we are cheering you on! Electric Canines for the win!

Behind the Scenes of TARTAGLIA’s Latest Rom-Com
Just last week, people flooded the movie theatres for heart-throb TARTAGLIA in his latest rom-com Princess Mina of the Fallen Nation. Book fans and fans of the actor alike were excited to see the movie adaption of their favourite light novel series published by Yae Publishing House.
There had been concerns when the trailer dropped in March about the accuracy to the source material since the novel should be categorised as a romantic drama rather than a comedy. But TARTAGLIA’s charm promised to sell the change even to the most sceptical readers, and the numbers prove this. The successful opening weekend places the movie among some of the highest grossing box office successes of the genre.
So let us take a look at some of the best behind the scenes facts of this romance hit to get you excited to buy your tickets now, if you haven't seen it yet!
We spoke with director and producer Xavier about the filming process and the thought behind the genre change.
La Gouttiere: It was a bold choice to commit to the comedy of such a story with such a serious tone, what was the motivation behind this change?
Xavier: (Laughs.) This is probably the most asked question I have gotten since the trailer dropped. And I get it, I do. From drama to comedy is a big shift, isn’t it?
La Gouttiere: It really is, and bold, too. A lot can go wrong.
Xavier: But that’s the beauty of creating, the boldness, the decision to take risks. When I first read the book, I knew exactly who I wanted to see as the main characters, and it is undeniable that TARTAGLIA’s charm shines most in his romantic comedies. So I sat down with the writers, and I asked them, how do we do this?
La Gouttiere: And it clearly paid off, the movie tickets were sold out in all the big cinemas.
Xavier: I expected many people to want to see TARTAGLIA, but it shocked even me. He really is a big name in the industry. And he has earned his spot.
La Gouttiere: How was working with an established name such as him? We hear horror stories about actors being a nightmare once they get too famous.
Xavier: I’ve definitely met my fair share of those at events, obviously not naming names. (Laughs.) But not TARTAGLIA. He truly is as charming as the characters he plays. Perhaps that’s why he portrays them so well.
La Gouttiere: He had remarkable chemistry with his supporting cast, not only Miss Kamisato, but also Dainsleif. What made you risk casting a previously rather unknown actor for something already risky?
Xavier: If I’m already taking risks, why not go all the way? I knew his previous work for a while and was just waiting to have the right project to send his way, his acting has always left me quite intrigued. And it was definitely the right choice. I can’t see anyone else portray his part any better.
La Gouttiere: Before our time is up, we have one last question. The book series spans five parts so far. Are you planning to continue the series?
Xavier: I obviously can’t promise anything just yet, but the thing I can say is that I love those books, and I love what we have turned them into with our adaptation. I would be very curious to continue to explore how a slight shift in genre affects a plot and its characters.
La Gouttiere: Thank you so much, Xavier, it was a pleasure speaking with you. We urge all our readers to give the movie a watch, as it was definitely our highlight of the year so far!

Everything You Need to Know About Wind Gliding for the Upcoming Finale
Fans are on the edge of their seats for the upcoming Wind Gliding finale. Amber will be facing off against Leonard Jr., descendant of the inventor of the sport by the same name. The family has continued the tradition of wind gliding all these years, with many of them placing among the champions in the competitions.
Leonard Jr., who more accurately should have over 2000 years worth of juniors behind his name, has been stunning fans with his refreshing technique this season. Amber, a more seasoned glider, has fans convinced that she will come out on top yet again.
But many are confused about the rules and regulations, so here is a quick recap for everyone!
In Wind Gliding, the glider has a regulated wing span, otherwise you are allowed to gear up as you want. Most gliders, meaning the people (yes, we get just as confused as you do!), choose to keep their clothes and gear as light and tight as possible, to reduce friction and gain additional speed. Here, milliseconds can cost you the win!
The goal is simple: reach the finish line first, while not missing any of the relevant checkpoints. The checkpoints, rings in the sky which have to be passed through, give many people trouble as any misjudgement of angle can make your glider lose momentum or worse, fall. In the freestyle competition, certain manoeuvres must be added between the checkpoints to avoid penalties, making it more of a dance than a race.
All in all, a visually stunning but dangerous sport that we will rather watch on TV than participate in ourselves.

Newcomer Dainsleif Was the Perfect Choice Alongside TARTAGLIA
After leaving the showing of Princess Mina of the Fallen Nation most people took the same course of action: take out their phone to look up Dainsleif. So what do we know about this new face in the industry?
For one, he’s not exactly new. Just two years ago he starred as the main character in the indie historical drama 500: Fall of a Nation in which he played The Twilight Sword who attempted to save his nation from certain death by the Gods. He gives a stunning and emotional performance that certainly brought us to tears.
This seems to be a trend in his performances, of which there are a few, both in theatre and more small movies. The emotions he manages to evoke are tangible. With his handsome face and soulful eyes, he manages to make even the most hardcore movie buff fall in love with his characters.
We are certainly excited to see where the path takes him now that his name is properly out there. Hopefully back on the screen with TARTAGLIA as their chemistry together was truly magical.
