BAND AU (SECOND ATTEMPT)

+ my notes (slightly long. full of contrivances.) under the cut:

- i think their band breakup was truly historic and catastrophic. probably shockwaves could be felt from 600km away.

- hiro is haunting the narrative as usual by being a) the one who taught rei guitar b) former member of their band and c) currently missing

- the barcode numbers on the album are, in order, the manga chapter numbers, the case number, and the anime episode number for the stage of betrayal. this is bookended by 1 (for akai shuuichi) and 0 (for rei).

- similarly their band (duo? pair?) name is 1x0 for akai x rei. if anyone has another idea lmk, i will be so glad. after writing the tracklist i gave up.

- when hiro was still there their band name was probably three whiskeys. tangential, but it's always bothered me that bourbon & rye are both american alcohols that are fundamentally almost the same except for whether it's majority % corn or rye, but scotch is from scotland and unrelated. all this to say they were doomed from the start.

- i think hiro and rei played guitar with each other from childhood (with hiro teaching rei) and they met akai at an emo rock band performance as akai was drinking some awful whiskey cocktail jodie bought for him, and this led to their band name.

- instrumentation: rei (guitar + vocals) since hiro taught him guitar and he's the only one with a suitable personality to be the frontman; hiro (bass or guitar) he knows bass well, and he gives the guitar role to rei when they need a bass; akai (drums) although i'm sure he can play synth or bass as well. he's annoyingly skilled enough.

- hiro probably got mixed in with a bad group while looking for his parents' murderer, and disappeared. at the time of his disappearance, rei was away at an event and akai was obliged by rei to look after him (as hiro was likely already in a poor state).

- the last trace they have of him is a bloodstain on the rooftop of their rehearsal building.

- and of course rei's idolization of akai is alive and well... the band member that can play almost anything, the one with friends in intelligence (jodie), older than him, skilled in martial arts, and so sure of himself—but couldn't save hiro at all.

- the album name is ostensibly "unforgivable" but can be read "unforgivable, i'm unforgivable" if you really squint and indulge me. the former is rei's hatred, the latter is akai's guilt.

- this album would've been written after hiro's disappearance and their initial band breakup. somehow they endured sitting in a room together for long enough to finish recording without rei killing akai.

- i imagine their sound to lean towards a heavier rock, but given that their band only has 2 people you might just have to believe me. rei can sing angrily enough for 5 people.

- gave akai a lip piercing. it's fanservice. (im the fan.)

that's all for now! thank u for reading if you read all that. see you next post. hopefully i will not spell unforgivable wrong a third time.

blog updates... : going to try to schedule post a lot of my less polished art from 2021-24 over the next month or so! recently i've been thinking even if it's work i'm not 100% proud of or just sketches it's still better to put it here than to let it slowly get buried under a lifetime's worth of files on my computer as if it never existed.

i'll tag all these posts #archivepostings in case anyone doesn't want to go down 5 layers of folder hierarchy on my computer with me. thanks everyone for sticking with this random ass blog all these years regardless! (^^)b
