During the MV releases for the Battle of Unity Opening Show songs, the Paradox Live official YouTube account was in the comments of the videos 30 minutes to release doing a light in-character comment session for the members of the unit involved. Here's my archive of them!
Kanata: Nothing to talk about.
Nayuta: [In separate thread] There.
Nayuta: Should I be commenting here? Whatever.
Nayuta: Stop blabbing, just shut up and listen to the song.
Nayuta: Kanata's never made a track that wasn't amazing.
Kanata: Nobody's immune to Nayuta's machine-gun rhymes.
Kanata: Seriously, why do we have to keep doing this every time.
Nayuta: Seriously.
Kanata: Also stop thinking we're going to answer your dumbass questions every time we do this.
Nayuta: We're rappers. We're not your friends.
Kanata: We're done here.
Kanata: They said we're supposed to keep doing this for like five more minutes but close enough.
Nayuta: That should be enough.
Iori: Guess who? Couldn't be anyone but me, Suiseki Iori of Akan Yatsura! All y'all ready to hear the new song?
Zen: Howdy!!! Just a little longer until the new song releases! We want everyone to have great vibes going into it to enjoy it to the fullest, so let's get the energy up!!
Hokusai: How is everyone?
Satsuki: You're all doin' great, right!? Feel free to drop us some passionate comments!
Reo: All of our sixth men~! Let's get more hype than any other team, okay~?
Satsuki: This song's real fuckin' sweet, too, so prepare yourselves π
Iori: That's more like it. Been a while since we've gotten to see Akan Yatsura this rarin' to go.
Zen: There's a really strong Japanese flavor sprinkled all throughout the track and the lyrics; it's a really hard-hitting song!
Reo: The track Hokusai made for us was so good that it was suuuuper easy to put our bars on top of it~
Hokusai: I'm happy to hear that. Thanks.
Iori: Of course the track's great, but Satsuki's first verse is really cool too, innit~
Satsuki: For sure!! Being top batter is GAIA-sama's specialty!!
Zen: You've grown a lot, not just in terms of your body but also in terms of your rapping skills!
Reo: Hey, hey, what about my verse~?
Hokusai: Reo's verse is great too. The flow is so nice.
Reo: Thanks, Hokusai β‘
Fan: Someday I'd like to hear what Hokusai focuses on in his songwriting β‘
Hokusai: This time I wanted to keep raising the tension on the track until it reaches the hook. Then I want everyone to put their hands up at that part.
Fan: Zen-kun~!! Let's pump it up πͺπͺπͺπͺπͺπͺ
Zen: Of course! This is the day that we get to show everyone our new song, so naturally I've been working on staying in top form!
Fan:I love you, Kashira πππππ
You're so cool β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπ₯π₯π₯π₯
Iori: Am I now~? Oh, DO go on~
Fan: Akan Yatsura are raising the bar more than ever, they're too good!!! I've been working like crazy on honing my cover fire, too!!!!
Satsuki: Thanks! Nothin' warms the heart like a sixth man providing cover fire!
Fan: Reo-kun is the cutest in the entire world once again πππππ I love you!!!π
Reo: You'll be able to see my adorable face lots in the MV, so be sure to keep your eye on it every time it's on screen~
Fan: I'm way too excited to see what sort of hot words Kashira's got to say this time π₯π₯π₯
Iori: If I gave you some fanservice, that might put your health at risk, lol
Fan: Reo-kun, I believe in you this time again too~! You'll take the victory for sure!!!
Reo: Thanks for your support~! Be sure to yell my name as loud as you can at our concerts~!
Satsuki: I really can't wait to do this song live!!
Iori: I can see it now. I can easily imagine everyone shouting along together.
Zen: No doubt about it. I'm looking forward to this release, of course, but what I'm really looking forward to is performing it at a venue!
Hokusai: Let's all make noise together.
Reo: So you've all got to listen to it a bunch and memorize it really well! Especially the hook!
Iori: Just as Reo said. Countin' on all of you!
Satsuki: Our tracks are made to have the sixth mens' voice as part of 'em.
Hokusai: Yes. With all of you, we can be even stronger.
Satsuki: It's about to start!! Get yourselves ready for GAIA-sama's rhymes!!
Reo: Pay special attention to my verse, too~! It's not just cute, you might get stung if you're not careful~
Hokusai: It's been a while since we've seen a scary Akan Yatsura. I'm looking forward to it.
Zen: Whether it's over the screen or in the venue, let's overwhelm everyone with our power and vibes!!
Iori: Couldn't put it better myself. Well, then, enjoy this specially-made Akan Yatsura song we've whipped up for you. See you at the venue next time, brothers.
Shogo: Good eveVISTY! Thank you to everyone who's here today to check out our new song!
Toma: I'm sure all you Stellas are excited, but we're all super excited too~!
Aoi: It's an honor to be able to deliver our new song directly to all of our princesses like this.
Kantaro: Yaaaay~! At last, everyone's gonna be able to listen to it~!
Toma: But! Don't you think we're being a little aggressive this time!?
Aoi: I think so. I think this may be our most exciting song we've ever made.
Kantaro: When we all heard Shogo's verse, we were all like, 'he can write lyrics like this!?', we were all super shocked!
Shogo: I wanted to be more forward than usual. It's also a way to show off our new stance going forward.
Toma: It was A+, though! I thought it was so intense that I went back and redid my own lyrics, too!
Shogo: Also, isn't this one in Aoi's wheelhouse, in a way?
Aoi: It is. I think the concept was well-suited to me. Conveying my love to my princess is my specialty.
Kantaro: Cool as always, Aoi!
Aoi: Thank you. The track that Kantaro made was great, so it was easy to write lyrics to go with it.
Kantaro: Hooray~! Thank you~! I tried to do a city pop thing with a soul kind of feel.
Toma: You can always deepnd on our very own trackmaker~! It feels super mega danceable, too.
Fan: Toma is the brightest star, so it's got to be super easy to see him in all the beautiful sights you'd see on a MAGIC CARPET ride.
Toma: Naturally it's easy to see me-me-me if you're sparkling all over~! I'll shine super bright, so be sure to come find me!
Fan: Just being able to hear VISTY's singing voices and see their smilig faces gives me the strength to do my best every day π₯Ή
I love VISTY so much~!!!
Aoi-kun, please give me some god-tier fanservice~! π¦π
Aoi: I think about my princess every day, too. Thank you for the energy you always give me. I love you.
Fan: Listening to VISTY's songs always gives me energy!
Shogo and Toma and Aoi and Kantaro! I love all of you!!!!
Kantaro: Whaaaa~ah! You said you loved me~! We all love you, too~!
Fan: I'm really looking forward to the mellow sounds of a city pop song~ I can't escape the VISTY swamp π«Ά
Kantaro: Get stuck even deeper in our swamp~!
*"To be in the swamp" is slang for being obsessed with something.
Fan: Intense and danceable!? It sounds like it's going to be an real party π«Ά
Shogo: I feel a little embarrassed to have all of this attention on it, but I worked hard on the lyrics, so I hope everyone listens carefully!
Fan: VISTY's music always saves me, so I've been looking forward to hearing a new song for a long time!!!!!
Kantaro: Thank you so much for saying so~~~!! I'm so happy I could almost cry~~~~
Fan: I'm really looking foward to this because I've been looking forward to a more aggressive VISTY!! But I love any kind of VISTY!! Keep shining
Toma: This time we've got a little more spice than usual!
Shogo: Come to think of it, shooting the music video was really interesting this time, lol
Aoi: It was! Toma had a really hard time of things, lol
Kantaro: We had to keep getting told to make it feel more like we were riding on a magic carpet, and it was a lot of trial and error, but it's fun to look back on in hindsight.
Toma: I'd never in my life been told to act like I was on a magic carpet, so I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, w
Shogo: But it worked out in the end, so all's well that ends well?
Toma: Sure is, sure is~!
Aoi: That's kind of how you respond to everything, huh, Toma? lol
Kantaro: Don't you think there are things you shouldn't be saying that about? lol
Toma: Not at all! lol
Shogo: Well, I'm glad it all worked out! Anyway, it's about to begin!
Aoi: I'm a bit nervous, too.
Kantaro: Me too~! I wish I could hold all of our stellas' hands.
Toma: I've got enough feelings to fill the Mariana Trench~ Hope you all like it!
Kantaro: Everyone, please listen to it a lot! And we'll see you at the next live show!
Aoi: I hope my feelings are able to reach my princesses. I love you always. I'll see you again soon.
Toma: I'll be checking out Paratora again! Please feel free to post your thoughts on the new song! See you soon!
Shogo: Well then, let's go on a dream-like trip together. Everyone, will you come with us?
Chungsung: Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we will be receiving a message directly from Dongha-sama.
Dongha: It's been a long time since last we met, you worms. You had best be prepared to hear our new song.
Dongha: Of course, this song is immaculate as well. I can quite easily imagine the overwhelmed expressions on your faces.
Chungsung: Of course, it is just as you say. I think it turned out to be an elegant piece very befitting of AMPRULE.
Dongha: The song is appropriate for the start of a new battle.
Chungsung: Incidentally, Dongha-sama.
Dongha: What.
Chungsung: The lyrics in the song may be a bit too harsh for these lowly worms before you; may I inquire as to your intentions in that regard?
Dongha: Do I really need to spell it out in order for people to understand?
Chungsung: I merely thought it would be prudent to make your thoughts clear to all of the lowly worms, Dongha-sama.
Dongha: Fine.
Dongha: In one of my verses, I wrote the lyric 'I'll leave behind any worms that don't follow behind me'.
Dongha: This is meant to spur on those worms who do follow me. Of course, I have no doubt that those who have been loyal up until now will continue to do so.
Dongha: The road will only grow harder to traverse from here on out. Not only in terms of this battle, but for my own future.
Dongha: As such, I chose that message to further solidify the foundation on which both AMPRULE and these worms have built up thus far.
Chungsung: I am truly impressed by the depths of the thought you give to such matters, Dongha-sama. As they say, God dwells within the details.
Dongha: I understand the inner workings of all who are witnessing this, and that includes you, Chungsung.
Chungsung: It is the utmost honor.
Dongha: The goal should be to reach a place far beyond anything we've ever overcome before. I intend to use this song as a signal to begin our advance and throw ourselves into battle once more.
Fan: What an honor to be able to witness the birth of AMPRULE-sama's noble song...
Chungsung: This is the embarkment of our new journey. Please witness it with your own eyes and ears.
Fan: The atmosphere of the music transcends being like an emperor, it's more like a godly feeling, and the nobility is even more profound and suited to Dongha-sama...!
I'm looking forward to it...!
Dongha: Naturally. I participate in this event as someone who carries not only the world but the pride of the Yeon family on my shoulders. I would never put out anything halfhearted.
Fan: AMPRULE's songs always give me courageββ
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of song we get this time π«Άπ
Chungsung: The waiting and the yearning is part of the fun. It will come soon.
Fan: I'm extremely grateful for the kind message in the lyrics... I'll support the two of you in AMPRULE until the very end.
Dongha: It is necessary to do such things once in a while. But I recognize this in you. Continue to follow me.
Fan: I was able to work hard all week knowing I'd have the reward of hearing Chungsung's voice at the end of it.
I'll continue to devote myself to AMPRULE.
Chungsung: Thank you for your wondrous show of loyalty; I'm sure that Dongha-bocchama will be most pleased.
Fan: I was overwhelmed just hearing the powerful instrumental track...! Chungsung-san is amazingππ π₯Ή
Chungsung: Your kind words are wasted on someone such as me. Please, by all means, enjoy.
Dongha: Listen to my determination. I look forward to witnessing your loyalty when I'm on stage.
Chungsung: And so, everyone, I hope to see you all again soon. With that, I take my leave.
Allen: What's up to all the heads! I'm super excited to be here celebrating the release of the new song with everyone!
Hajun: 48 here. I'm sure you're all having a hard enough time waiting as it is, but I am confident that we will exceed your expectations with ease; please look forward to it.
Anne: Aaah~! I'm really excited, too! I can't wait to watch the MV with everyone!
Anne: It's going to be a blast! The song is a really exciting one this time!
Allen: Yeah! I made this one so that people would really be able to dance to it at the venue.
Hajun: The MV for the new song turned out quite fittingly as well, didn't it?
Anne: It did! The MV turned out super well, I'm really happy with it!
Hajun: I think referencing back to a scene from a previous song was a nice touch, as well.
Allen: Right!? I get really hyped when I see something like that!
Anne: Right? It made me sooo happy!
Hajun: I hope this video gives everyone a good foundation to get excited about.
Anne: Allen, is there anything you want people to really focus on listening to and pay attention to?
Allen: Am I allowed to talk about that!?
Hajun: This is a good opportunity, so for today, it's fine.
Allen: Aaaaah! Then I'm gonna tell you all about it!
Anne: Just a heads up, I want to have time to talk with everyone, so please try to keep it brief.
Allen: Right...! Okay, got it...!
Allen: So, going into the new song, the image I had in mind was a supernova!
Allen: This is an event we're organizing ourselves, and we also want to breathe all kinds of new life into the scene.
Allen: So, I wanted to make a new track that would get all the heads bumping to a BPM that really conveyed the excitement of a new world that's just about to begin!
Allen: And of course, all of our indivdual verses were great, but there's also more unison parts than usual, to express that sort of sense of unity
In my opinion, I think it was a really good opportunity to incorporate the unique aspects of this being a team match!
Anne: Okay, that's enough!!
Allen: Huh? Didn't you guys just say that I could talk today?
Hajun: You remember what Anne just said a moment ago, right? Please give us a little time to talk to all of the heads.
Allen: Ah, right...
Hajun: Well, then, everyone: thank you for your patience. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to ask them.
Fan: Anne-sama πππ
How are you so sweet as to take the time to talk to everyone!? I love you!!
Anne: It's a chance to take the time to talk to everyone, so I love to chat~! Thanks for coming π₯° I love all of you guys too!
Fan:I've been looking forward to the chance to talk to Hajun for ages! I can't wait to see more of his charm in the new song!! Thank you for giving me energy every dayβ€οΈβπ₯
Hajun: Please be careful; you may end up quite overwhelmed if you try to take on all of my charm at once. Please get as deep as you like into this swamp.
Fan: I've been waiting for BAE's new song~!
Just knowing that the song title references BaNG!!! has me excited, but I can't stp getting excited thinking about waht kind of song it will be~! π₯Ήπ« I love the music that Allen makes, so I'm looking forward to this one too βΊοΈβ€οΈβπ₯
Allen: Thank you!!! I wrote this song to turn a new page in the phantom live scene! I hope we're able to have an amazing battle with everyone with this song!
Fan: Seeing that BAE's momentum hasn't slowed down even after winning first place really cheers me up π₯³ Thank you! π«Άπ»πΊ
Allen: We haven't stopped and we're not planning to stop yet, either! We're going to keep evolving from here on out, so be sure not to miss it!
Fan:Anne~!
I've been looking forward to this one ππ«Άπ
Let's have a ton of fun~!!!!
I'll always love you!!!!
Anne: why not!!! Let's have an amazing time together!! Let's dance together even if it's just through the screen~!
Hajun: Well, thanks to someone, the MV is just about to release.
Allen: Sorry...
Anne: No need to apologize, Allen! We're all going to have a good time no matter what, so get hyped!
Allen: Thank you...!
Hajun: With that, everyone, I hope you'll immerse yourselves in our new song.
Anne: See you next time at the venue! Love you all! See you soon!
Allen: Come take flight with us! RESPECTπ₯
Ryu (signed Anchovy Mask): Good evening to all the Kitty Heads! It is I, Ryu-kun, A.K.A. Anchovy Mask!
Yohei: You're really on some bullshit right out the gate, huh.
Ryu (signed Taco Headband-sensei): And here's the Master of the Dried Fish!
Yohei: It's God Summer. Don't just spout off with whatever.
Saimon: Good evening, everyone. Kotonoha here.
Shiki: I'm Nanashi. Thank you for having me.
Saimon: I'm very moved that we are able to celebrate the release of a new song together with everyone like this.
Ryu (signed Antonio Naoakira): In 30 minutes, I'm sure that everyone here will be turned into mackerel chocolate mousse!
Shiki: That doesn't sound great...
Saimon: Well, shall we discuss the new song and the new MV?
Shiki: Yes, let's. I really like the song this time. It has an atmosphere that makes you want to listen to it inside of Bar 4/7.
Ryu (signed High-Tone Saito): I know, right!? You don't wanna miss Ryu-kun and Master's HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH tone part!
Yohei: Been a while since I put down a melody line this gutsy.
Saimon: It's a very nice, smooth part; like ice melting in whiskey.
Shiki: It's very cool.
Ryu (signed Mister God-Tier Combo): It must have been because of the god-tier combo!
Shiki: The Owner's verse had a really comfortable, laid-back feel to it, too.
Saimon: Thank you. But I think I'd also say that you had a very important role in this song, wouldn't you, Shiki?
Yohei: No doubt. The track's based on a phrase that Shiki played, after all.
Shiki: Ah, but, Master is the one who arranged and actually developed it out...!
Ryu (signed Charging-Cable-Eating Youkai): But it's the same melody as the one Shikki came up with, isn't it?
Yohei: Yep. It sounded real nice.
Shiki: Thank you very much...!
Saimon: I can definitely say that this song is a big step forward for Shiki and for TCW as a whole. Thank you, Shiki.
Shiki: It makes me very happy to hear that.
Ryu (signed Excuse the Shiitakes): And that's what will be what causes Shikki to giga-evolve into his next form as a chogokin hamburger rocket...
Saimon: Does anyone watching this have any questions? We can try to answer some of them in what little time we have.
Fan: I'm really looking forward to hearing a melody full of Shikki's outstanding taste π₯Ήπ₯Ή
Ryu (signed "For the 80th time"): Well, it's my own personal Shikki after all, so that's to be expected.
Fan: I worked hard today for Ryu-kun's sake... I'm really looking forward to the new song!
Ryu (signed Canned Food Niki): Have a great time, eat lots of mackerel mousse cake hotpot and then go to bed!!
Fan: This song will be a big step forward...!! Let's take that step together β¨β¨
Saimon: We would be honored if you would join us on this journey. Let's not rush ourselves, but always keep steadily moving forward.
Yohei: Looks like we're about ready.
Ryu (signed The World Famous): Ehhhhhh, but I wanted to roll around with the kitty heads moreeeeeeee!!
Shiki: I hope you all enjoy the new song. It would be nice to see you all live next time.
Ryu: That's right, remember to make your Hyper Big uchiwa fans for us, ok? And write "Ultimate Kneecap" on it too! Seeya!
Rokuta: Heya everyone~! Just thirty minutes 'til we can watch the MV~! I'm super excited!!
Itsuki: 29 minutes and 30 seconds as of the time of your posting, to be precise.
Rokuta: Oh, yeah! Well, I'm super excited, even though it's our own song~!
Kei: I think that everyone who came here is looking forward to hearing Rokuta's voice as well.
Rokuta: Yaaay~! I hope everyone likes it~! I'm sure you'll all love it~!
Itsuki: The completed music video was truly a sight to behold as well. The scene exactly 1 minute and 4 seconds after the start was exactly what Kei envisioned; it was magnificent.
Kei: Mm. I was surprised that it exactly matched the scene that I had in mind.
Rokuta: And filming it was super fun too! We all went out to this wide open meadow together!
Itsuki: It was a long shoot, but the results were worth it.
Rokuta: I wanna go back~! Oh, and! The bentos we had were super delicious too~!
Kei: I'm glad you had a good time, Rokuta.
Itsuki: Kei predicted as much; it was a good idea to bring bentos. Rokuta wouldn't have lasted the entire shoot with what the film crew had prepared.
Rokuta: It was great to eat yummy food together in a pretty place~!
Kei: It's a good memory. I'd like to go back there as well.
Itsuki: We should return after the battle has been settled.
Rokuta: Yaaaaay!
Itsuki: I've been told that we are allowed to mingle with the heads today. We've only 12 minutes left to do so; let us begin.
Fan: I'm really looking foward to hearing Itsuki's easy-on-the-ears rap! Itsuki-kun's rap parts always stick in my mind the most out of 1Nm8-chan's songs! I'm sure this new song will get stuck in my head too and I won't be able to get rid of it.
Itsuki: Thank you for your support. I am keeping aware of how to rhyme as efficiently and tightly as possible. Please pay attention to that aspect of the new song.
Fan: Itsuki's performances always have this super fascinating charm, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what he does this time πͺπ» I love Itsuki's voice and how he sings so much πΏ
Itsuki: This time, I was working with the image of an inorganic object with organic implications, like a signal sent to a distant star. Look forward to it.
Fan: I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of new world will be opened up to us!! β¨β¨
Kei: Thank you. Let's set off together towards that new world.
Rokuta: I'm glad that everyone is showing you so much support, Kei-chan!
Kei: So they are. I hope everyone enjoys the new song, with its atmosphere of a ship floating through space.
Itsuki: Though it's only sound, the hook creates a sense and an image in your mind of expansion and a journey through the heart of a nebula.
Rokuta: Itsuki's verses and outro are beautiful, it's like he's sending a signal to another planet!
Kei: I hope that all of the heads are able to see the same view as us.
Itsuki: The MV will be releasing directly.
Rokuta: Oh, it is! Well, them, everyone, hope you enjoy our new song~!
Itsuki: We must continue to challenge ourselves in this new battle that is about to begin. Please continue to support us.
Kei: May our sound reach everyone.
Rokuta: Let's talk and hang out again sometime~!
Yuto: Good evening, everyone. We're GokuLuck; thank you for your continued support.
Ryoga: Hi.
Shion: How're you all doing?
Kenta: Shitty Scrub Patrol: Special Edition
Yuto: Mikoshiba-kun, could you possibly please take a little more care with how you address all of the heads?
Kenta: Yeah, yeah, I get it
Shion: All the girls here have been made to wait so long that they can hardly stand a second more, right?
Ryoga: Everyone better get ready to get eaten alive
Kenta: Been a while since the last tournament. That's why we've had the time to get geared up for this time.
Yuto: This time our new track is more aggresssive than ever, isn't it?
Kenta: Who do you think's the one making it, asshole? What's even the point if you're not going for first strike?
Yuto: My apologies...
Ryoga: I liked this track.
Shion: It was pretty good. I like this one, too. It was fun to play around with the heavy distortion.
Yuto: Kaida-kun, it must have been hard for you to have to play the same part over and over again.
Shion: Shibaken kept begging me to keep doing it over and over again, lol
Kenta: You don't have to put it that way, you fucking horndog
Shion: You're still as pure as ever, lol
Shion: Sorry, everyone, I'll continue once Shibaken stops throwing a tantrum over here.
Kenta: I'm gonna remember this, asshole
Yuto: Please don't fight...
Yuto: By the way! Tosa-kun, you tried out a different flow from usual this time, right?
Ryoga: Yeah. Thought if I took a leaf out of Shion's book it might give me more range.
Yuto: I see! You're learning from the other members and making good use of what you learn. Just what you'd hope to see from a rehabilitation program!
Ryoga: It's not like that. You're putting words in my mouth, shut the fuck up.
Yuto: Even you, Tosa-kun...
Shion: Isn't it time to talk to everyone? There's no point in talking to the same guys I have to talk to all the time anyway.
Yuto: Understood. But please make sure to keep all interactions strictly appropriate!
Shion: Yeah, yeah.
Fan: I've been looking forward to this day for a long time!!
I'm looking forward to Ryoga's hot rap that will blow everyone away π₯π₯π₯
Ryoga: Yeah.
Fan: I always love Ryoga-san's powerful singing style and his lyrics. I'm looking forward to this one, too!! I'll always be rooting for you.
Ryoga: Thanks.
Fan: GokuLuck's songs are always great, so I have high expectations for this one too! β€οΈβπ₯ I'm looking forward to it~!!!
Yuto: Thank you very much. We'll continue to do our best.
Fan: I can't waaaaaaiiiiit to hear Mikochi's voice
Kenta: Be grateful you get to hear it
Fan: Good evening, Inukai-san!!
I've been eagerly awaiting the start of a new battle and a new start for GokuLuck!!
I'm looking forward to it!!! I'll always support GokuLuck!!!!
Yuto: Thank you for always cheering for us. Your voices give us all strength. Thank you for your continued support.
Fan: I'm so happy! I'm glad I'm the same age as Mikoshiba-kun π I can feel from the passionate way he lives from the sound of of Born This Way π Mikoshiba's high-speed rap is so cool β¨ I hope this reaches Mikoshiba-kun~π I want to be promoted from the ranks of shitty scrub!
Kenta: This is so fucking gross every time, it gives me goosebumps, shut the fuck up, loser
Fan: Shion-kun! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! I'm so nervous π"
Shion: Thanks. You're cute when you're nervous, lol
Fan: I'm too nervous to know what to say π₯²
I have so many things I want to say to Shion (Β΄ β’Μ₯ Μ« β’Μ₯ ` )
Anyway, I love you ππ€
Shion: Then we'll have to go all-in on doing something fun together.
Fan: Shion-kun π«Ά
Let's have a hot night π
Shion: I'm always down
Fan: Mikochi~!!
What are the highlights of the song!? Is there anything in particular you want us to pay careful attention to...?
Kenta: Get the fuck out of here. Just shut up and listen.
Ryoga: Almost time.
Kenta: Hey, all you shitty scrubs, be grateful that you get the chance to watch the MV with us. It's a rare chance for losers like you.
Shion: Feel it all and get filled up with me.
Yuto: Kaida-kun!
Shion: What? I was just talking about the music, lol. Was your mind in the gutter?
Yuto: That's not it at all...! Ah, everyone, thank you for joining us today! We look forward to your continued support!
Chisei (signed Yasha): Yo. How y'all doin'?
Haruomi (signed Shura): Thank you for coming here today.
Yasha: Been a hot minute since the two of us have done something like this.
Shura: Mm. Our songs don't need explanation.
Yasha: True enough. All you gotta do to understand is listen, yeah?
Shura: But seeing as we've been given this opportunity to talk, we may as well talk a bit.
Yasha: Whoaaa, you've gotten to be way less of a hardass than you used to be, huh?
Shura: This is for the sake of the phantom live scene.
Yasha: So? Is there anything you'd like to point out as especially noteworthy, Haruomi?
Shura: First of all: the track. This time I was going for a fairly catchy and refreshing sort of feel.
Yasha: When I heard the demo track, it all clicked immediately. I could totally imagine a scene of flying down a straight, open road.
Shura: That's the image I was going for.
Yasha: How 'bout the lyrics?
Shura: The rhyming goes without saying; but I feel like in terms of content, it reflects where my mind is at the moment. That's the case for you, too, isn't it?
Yasha: Well, I suppose. I kinda just go with the flow, and god only knows wherever it is that we or anyone else is gonna wind up.
Shura: See, that's what I'm talking about.
Yasha: The filming was a lot of fun, too, wasn't it? We made up our minds that we had to shoot this song overseas.
Shura: Mmm. Thanks to that, we were able to fully express the worldview conveyed by the song.
Yasha: The day after we decided to do it, we were already on a flight, so Haruomi's got no room to talk, either, lol
Shura: If you're going to do something at all, you might as well do it sooner than later. That's how I've always been.
Yasha: For sure.
Yasha: Well, I suppose we're supposed to talk to the heads, yeah? Shall we talk a bit?
Shura: I'll allow it.
Yasha: Well, guess I'll just jump right in, then.
Fan: I'm so happy to be able to hear Haruomi's voice in a new song... I wonder what kind of song it will be this time... I'm sure it will be great, I'm looking forward to it.
Shura: You won't regret it. Give it a listen with your own ears.
Fan: I've been excited about this all day since last night!!! I finally get to hear it!! Whoo!!! π
Yasha: It might be the only thing you can listen to from tomorrow onwards, lol
Fan: The idea of flying down a straight shot roadβ¨ It sounds so exhilarating! I'm looking forward to it π
Shura: It might make for a good listen while taking a drive.
Fan: Even though he's a legend, Yasha-sama is so cool and does great fanservice... how is he so cool?
Yasha: I wonder, lol. I've just been like this ever since I was born, so I can't really give you an answer.
Yasha: Something like that?
Shura: Mmm. The MV will be dropping soon.
Yasha: Like we've said before, we're really looking forward to seeing what happens to us in the future.
Shura: We'll keep searching for our own dopeness while using the inspiration we get from all of them as our compass.
Yasha: Yep. I'm counting on you from here on out, partner.
Shura: You don't have to put it in writing. You're right next to me.
Yasha: It's called fanservice. Fan-ser-vice.
Shura: One more way you haven't changed at all.
Yasha: But our music keeps getting better and better, lol
Shura: Finally. Hope everyone enjoys the new song.
