Battle of Unity - Round 1 "SURVIVE" Leader Interview

Released ahead of the "SURVIVE" CD drop, a teased-secret bonus video was dropped on January 24th, 2025, consisting of a short interview between Kanata and Yuto. Below you'll find the translation of this short interview!

Yuto: Thank you very much for taking the time to meet with me today. I look forward to working with you.
Kanata: Eh.
Yuto: Now, as for the question... please hold on just a moment.
[sfx: paper rustling]
[text on screen: "THEME: Thoughts on this battle"]
Yuto: Ah, here we go... it seems like they want to ask us, "please share your thoughts on this upcoming battle".
Kanata: I don't have any "thoughts", I just want to win by a landslide and get this thing over with.
[text on screen: Not interested]
Kanata: And I'm not interested in any of the people who we're stuck in a unit with, either. Best they can do is not drag us down.
Yuto: You're so confident...!
Kanata: Why wouldn't I be? We'll just earn enough points in this first round that nobody will give a shit about the second round onward so we can wrap up early.
Yuto: I see...! Well, as for us, we want to do our very best with all of our heart and soul. Ever since the last tournament, the members of GokuLuck have been gradually improving ourselves as people through music.
Yuto: My hope is that my teammates will be able to sublimate the difficulties of their pasts and rehabilitate themselves through music, the way the two of you in cozmez have been able to do.
Yuto: Our battle against the two previous winners has been a source of great inspiration for GokuLuck.
[text on screen: Surpass cozmez]
Yuto: This time, we'll be giving it our all once again, and hopefully we'll be able to surpass cozmez.
Kanata: Huh. Seems you're able to put on a braver face this time around.
Yuto: Ah--! T-thank you very much!!
Kanata: But I'm going to be honest, we don't really care about whatever you've got going on.
[text on screen: We'll crush you]
Kanata: We'll crush you, so be prepared for that.
Yuto: Yes, of course!
Kanata: ... why are you acting so happy about it?
Yuto: No, it's just that I'm very happy that we've been recognized as a proper opponent by cozmez...!
Yuto: And since I don't really get this kind of frank communication from the other members of my team...
Kanata: Seriously? Ain't you supposed to be their prison guard or whatever?
Yuto: Well, yes, but I tend to be rather timid, and things don't always work out exactly how you'd hope...
Yuto: But so, I'm happy!
Yuto: I think I'll be able to have a good conversation with them about this!
Yuto: Thank you very much for your show of kindness!
Kanata: Eugh, knock it off with that...! I feel like I'm talking to someone from another planet.
Yuto: So then, let's move on to the next question!
Kanata: Do whatever you want.
Yuto: Then I'll read it now! Let's see...
[text on screen: Impressions of the leader?]
Yuto: It says, "what are your impressions of the other leader"!
[text on screen: Strong and wonderful leader]
Yuto: Well, from my point of view, I definitely see you as a strong and wonderful leader!
Kanata: Hah?
Yuto: You and your brother have remained strong and survived despite all of the hardship and pain you've experienced in your pasts!
Kanata: Well, yeah, but...
Yuto: Like I was saying just a little bit ago, I'm not a particularly strong-willed person, so I suppose it could just be that I admire that strength.
Kanata: Well, my impression of you is...
Kanata: That you're a useless normie.
Yuto: ...!!
Kanata: I mean, seriously, you're running around without a spine and butterflies in your head this entire time, and now you're waltzing in here telling me how much of a fight you plan on putting up--
Yuto: Hey, brat.
Yuto: You'd better be real fuckin' careful what you say.
Kanata: Hah? The hell got into you all of a sudden?
Yuto: Did you not hear me? Who exactly do you think you're talking to so disrespectfully?
Kanata: You out of your mind or something? Feels like the atmosphere's different than it was a second ago, and now you're gettin' in over your head.
Yuto: You think I'm the one in over my head?
Yuto: Looks like I'm gonna have to teach a mouthy little brat the pecking order before the battle even starts.
Kanata: You're fuckin' on.
Kanata: Wanna see how we do it in the streets?
Yuto: Bring it.
Yuto: I'll tame you.
Kanata: Well, then what are we waiting for!?
[sfx: Kanata getting out of his seat]
Kanata: Hyah!!
[sfx: bzzzt, BEEEEEP]
