Good VISTY morning~! 🦄 On days when the rain's making you feel gloomy, I'd love it if you listened to our songs to get yourself hyped up! It might rain this afternoon, so don't forget to take an umbrella~! #GoodVISTYMorning

Good VISTY morning! 🌟 Good job getting through the week, everyone! What are everybody's plans for the weekend? #GoodVISTYMorning

Yuto @mainichiheiwani - 5:05 PM (17:05)
I'm relieved that I had to submit less paperwork than usual last month. I hope this coming month will be uneventful, too.

Don't forget where we came from

Kanata @czmzknt - 6:13 PM (18:13)
No matter how far we've come, this is who we are

Allen @irepmyself - 6:19 PM (18:19)
That's really what hiphop is about. I'd expect no less from KANATA...!

Shogo @sho5gummylife - 6:35 PM (18:35)
This really is cozmez, huh... it's very cool, but I feel like I'm being overtaken by a feeling I don't have the words for.

Aoi @IOAOI_VISTY - 8:30 AM (08:30)
Good VISTY morning 🦋 What are my princesses up to today? I'm going out to buy a new umbrella. I think I'll buy a big one, so my princess doesn't get wet while standing under it. With this, even the rain can become a lovely memory. #GoodVISTYMorning"

Reo @AKreokunYR - 6:07 PM (18:07)
Of course we're not going to let it end here! Akan Yatsura are absolutely number one!!!!!!

Satsuki @AKsatsukingYR - 6:10 PM (18:10)
I've been through enough rough times to make me feel like they might put me down for the count. But I'm a super-cool rapper who can take all of that and put it into song! Get ready, number six, this time we're gonna take the win!

Hokusai @AKyoshiyoshiYR - 6:12 PM (18:12)
I can be strong because my brothers are here. They always have been, and they always will.

Zen @AKbulkupYR - 6:18 PM (18:18)
I'm grateful for the chance to have met waka, my brothers, and all of the sixth men. All the painful experiences I've had to go through have meaning when I think of them as something that led me here. We're aiming for the stars. Let's go!

Iori @AKgokigenYR - 6:21 PM (18:21)
The banquet party doesn't go on forever; the throne is calling our names. Let's show them how strong the chains of our bonds really are. Let's go, sixth men

Allen @irepmyself - 6:24 PM (18:24)
They've always been great, but Akan Yatsura are really pulling out all the stops. The lyrics, the passion they have for one another... I could listen to this on repeat! I'm gonna loop this along with cozmez's song so I can fan over it later with all you Heads!

Kenta @endbringer_666_ - 6:42 PM (18:42)
More like MC Smallfry-a.
*He literally says "more like tsubushigaian", presumably a joke about tsubushian (crushed red bean) and GAIA. I really, really wanted to render this as "more like MC Gay-a", but I think that's probably a bad idea, lol.

Ryoga @orega_ryouga - 6:45 PM (18:45)
Strong.

Connection, trust, loneliness, pain. The darkness of the heart makes the light shine brighter. It's a very intense sound.

Yohei @godsummer0828 - 3:45 AM (03:45)
Looks like he's still got it, huh.

Toma @t0malikes2party - 12:10 PM (12:10)
Totes to be expected of the teams that made it to the semifinals, but both songs are totally poppin'! 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧
What he literally uses here is a gyaru slang term that means 'not half-assed', so I could justify rendering this as "they're really putting their whole pussies into it". You're welcome.

Aoi @IOAOI_VISTY - 12:16 PM (12:16)
I feel proud that we were able to take part in a competition alongside such impressive teams. We'll surpass them one day

Anne @fxxkdaborder - 5:33 PM (17:33)
I'm looking forward to the day of the stage battle! It's definitely gonna be a passionate one!

Yuto @mainichiheiwani - 9:25 PM (21:25)
The lyrics are nice, aren't they? I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the finals.

Chungsung @battler4dongha - 10:18 PM (22:18)
I have taken the time to listen. As may be expected of the teams that are advancing to the semi-finals, it is hard to choose between the two. It seems that young master Dongha is curious as to how this battle will play out as well.

I'm sure they will be drinking too much on the day-of, so perhaps I should prepare some samgye-tang in advance.

I'm suuuper worn out from lessons today~~~!! I wish I didn't have to do it so much, because I have to stay on the ball and so have like no time to check my phone~~! All you Stellas all totally get what I mean, right? 🥺 #ByeVISTY

Iori @czmznyt - 5:55 PM (17:55)
Let's go. Time for a festival.

Context: TRUST voting round began at 18:00, implied to be the in-universe time the performances happen

Allen @irepmyself - 10:02 PM (22:02)
With Trust Nobody, the basic sound is still the same, of course, but I feel like it has a totally different atmosphere when it's performed live. The water that it drags you down into is colder and deeper. It's like looking up at a distant moon from under the surface of a lonely lake. The bass swells and tangles itself around your legs, and the way their voices are so clean makes the water feel all the clearer. There's this feeling of wanting to resign yourself to the sad warmth of it all, but the strength of it keeps you from closing your eyes. They've got natural talent, but the skill with which they can spin an atmosphere has gone way up. I'd love a chance to go up against the current cozmez. That's what that performance made me think.

Allen @irepmyself - 10:10 PM (22:10)
No matter how many times I listen to Kassai, it's just got this bright coolness that makes it incredibly inviting. It's got this foundation, like the rings of a huge tree, that you just can't make overnight. And like a tree growing rings, those layers bear a lot of scars that they've accumulated as they've grown. You can tell that years of experience have created a thick outer layer that protects those wounds, making them stronger and bigger than they were before. They overcome adversity and continue to reach for the sun with integrity and intentionality. No matter how many times you see it performed, it's amazing to see. I think the point of hiphop is to turn your past into a weapon through your music, and Akan Yatsura are a team that really embodies that philosophy.

Anne @fxxkdaborder - 10:14 PM (22:14)
That show was like all of summer condensed into a single moment. Scorching and fun, but you leave it with a tightness in your chest. I don't even know what to call this feeling. All I know is it was an incredible performance from both teams.

Hajun @smileywangja - 10:16 PM (22:16)
Truly, I expected nothing less. I'm excited for the finals.

Kantaro @imsweetiecutie - 10:32 PM (22:23)
Everything from the track, the lyrics, and of course the phantom illusions, the lighting, the staging, all of it was totally perfect! I had goosebumps from beginning to end! It makes me really really wanna perform on stage again! There's sooooo much more I still wanna do, let me bathe in that spotlight too! So I'm gonna make way more songs now!

Shogo @sho5gummylife - 10:44 PM (22:44)
A performance so awesome it defies description. Our music's a different genre, but the fire inside is the same. I want to rise higher, I want to keep getting stronger. That's all I can think and feel right now.

Aoi @IOAOI_VISTY - 10:48 PM (22:48)
It was really on another level. I have no doubt that we'll reach even greater heights one day. I'm really looking forward to that moment. We just have to keep moving forward.

Saimon @kotonoha0918 - 10:53 PM (22:53)
Superb performances from both teams. Their words took shape, as though projecting the images of their lived histories into my very eyes. I sincerely hope TCW will be able to meet them in the finals.

Kenta @endbringer_666_ - 11:10 PM (23:10)
Get on with it, already. Don't wanna wait another second to beat their asses.

Ryoga @orega_ryouga - 11:21 PM (23:21)

Chungsung @battler4dongha - 11:35 PM (23:35)
Once again, we were able to behold this round live at the venue. Both teams delivered splendid, heavy-hitting performances. It seems to have been an inspiring experience for Dongha-bocchama; my delight knows no bounds.

I had a fun time, but the more I think about it, the more jealous I get. I'm not doing nearly enough yet-- I want to get even bigger. I kind of hope I can hold onto these feelings forever. I know it's pathetic and petty of me, but I know they'll light a fire under me. Next time, I'm not going to be an onlooker anymore. I'm going to be the one everyone's looking at.

Itsuki @1Nm8_05 - 12:44 PM (12:44)

Yesterday was fuckin' sweet!! We really went all out! Together with the sixth mens' vibes we cranked the performance up to 300%!!! Y'all aren't just providing a bit of cover fire anymore, it's more like everyone's got fuckin' rocket launchers!! Keep it up!!!

Zen - @AKbulkupYR - 5:55 PM (17:55)
This festival is just getting started. Let's get these flames so hot that nobody has any shot of cooling them down. Akan Yatsura will burn so bright that even the summer sun pales in comparison!! Let's join forces and keep pushing forward!! Let's go!!!
