A short conversation, mostly between canon character accounts, posted on Paradox Tribe in the leadup to Battle of Unity Round 4 (CHANCE), between Yohei and the members of BAE, on August 21, 2025. I've excised and summarized all of the fan comment replies and left in only the canon character interactions here!
Allen - 17:07
What's up, Heads!! It's finally time for the final battle of the team competition!! I'm super excited!
Anne - 17:07
Hi, guys! I'll be here today, too~! Nice to see you!
Yohei - 17:08
Yo
Anne - 17:08
Oh, Kanbayashi-san! You're here!
Hajun - 17:09
Welcome. Thank you for joining us here today.
Allen - 17:10
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come talk with us!! Big shout out to God summer!!
Yohei - 17:12
Eh, just finished up preparing for opening. Not that busy.
Anne - 17:13
You're too kind 😠Oh, yeah, Kanbayashi-san, have you seen our photos from the shoot for the upcoming battle yet?
Yohei - 17:14
Yeah. Doing a photoshoot while playing pool is pretty cool.
Hajun - 17:15
It was quite the interesting shoot.
Anne - 17:15
Hajun says "interesting", but I think watching Allen was more interesting than the shoot itself 🤣
Yohei - 17:16
What's that mean?
Anne - 17:18
Allen got so focused on playing billiards during the shoot that he kept playing for a while even after the shoot wrapped up, while Hajun watched on with amusement, lol
Hajun - 17:19
It's just like Allen to get really into anything he concentrates on, the same as he does with hiphop, lol
Allen - 17:20
Sorry...
Yohei - 17:21
That so? I'm gonna guess Iori's the one who started it, yeah?
Hajun - 17:22
You understand the situation well; I expected no less.
Yohei - 17:24
Just sounds like something he'd do.
Anne - 17:25
It's crazy how good Iori-san is at billiards!
Allen - 17:26
I know, right? Like, I just have to know, how does he control the ball so well?
Hajun - 17:27
Yes, there's something I "just have to know", too. That being, how can you concentrate so hard that you keep everyone waiting on you? lol
Allen - 17:29
Sorry...
Anne - 17:29
Hajun, please stop bullying him 🤣
Yohei - 17:30
Can't say I don't understand the feeling, though.
Allen - 17:31
It's a huge help to hear you say that...
Hajun - 17:33
Well, it's not enough for us to just talk amongst ourselves; let's answer some questions from the heads who are here.
Anne - 17:33
I'm down~!
Allen - 17:33
If you have any questions about the photoshoot, please ask!
[User comment replies; mostly they talk about playing billiards and general compliments about the photoshoot; Allen remarks that everyone writes their own lyrics separately; they discuss their skill at billiars and what drinks have been popular at 4/7; and general remarks on life.]
Anne - 17:47
Oh, that's right, Kanbayashi-san. You have to open the bar after this, right?
Yohei - 17:48
Yup
Hajun - 17:48
Suppose that's our cue to wrap it up here, then.
Yohei - 17:49
I won't argue. One last question, though: you got any plans for how you're gonna take on this next battle? Akan Yatsura are tough.
Allen - 17:50
There's no way to guarantee victory. Just like in every battle before this one, all we can do is work on polishing up the song until the very last moment.
Hajun - 17:52
Akan Yatsura have unmatched skill at controlling the floor. I believe it is imperative to take careful account of how the track and the verses complement each other.
Anne - 17:53
Our voices, too. It's really hard to compete against Akan Yatsura, since they have such a rowdy air that gets everyone super excited, so I want to make sure my really impactful lines hit the audience cleanly!
Yohei - 17:55
I see. So you're thinking that if you make one mistake on stage, then it's all over. That's alright. That ain't a bad way to think.
Haju - 17:55
Who said anything about making a mistake? Fortunately, that's the furthest thing from our minds, so please don't worry one bit while you watch us.
Allen - 17:56
We're gonna put on a show worthy of being part of the finale for the team competition. Please look forward to it.
Yohei - 17:57
'Ight. Guess I'll do that, then.
Anne - 17:57
To Kanbayashi-san, and to all the heads, please look forward to our new song and to the performance!
Hajun - 17:58
And even if you're not going to look forward to it, just one listen of the song will turn you into one of our heads, lol.
See you then.
Allen - 17:59
No doubt!!! Well, we'll see you all again soon!! And thanks to Kanbayashi-san, too!! Oh, also, it seems like the members of Akan Yatsura will be showing up tomorrow around 3 PM, so be sure to check them out, too!! Peace out!!
Anne - 17:59
I'll definitely pop by the bar tonight!
Yohei - 18:00
Alright. Later.
