an attempted tl of some things from this live report~~~

Aizo: The wild(?) guy of LIPxLIP. His image colour is yellow. According to Yujiro, on the day of the concert, he had started to practice the call and response bits in “Oshi no Mahou” from the moment they entered the venue.

A Message for the Julieta who had Attended the Concert:

Aizo: Thanks a bunch for coming, Julieta!! The contract that you made with us will never be broken for as long as we live, so let’s stay connected forever and ever.

Yujiro: The cool(?) guy of LIPxLIP. His image colour is blue. According to Aizo, he watches videos of rabbits as he likes soft and fluffy objects.

A Message for the Julieta who had Attended the Concert:

Yujiro: I hope that it had been a wonderful concert that will stay in your hearts and minds forever. The two of us will never forget that dreamlike moment either. Thank you, Julieta.

An Exclusive Interview with LIPxLIP!

Q: What was the most memorable part of the concert?

Aizo: It’s been a while since we last got to perform at a concert where we could cheer as much as we wanted, but it felt super amazing when we did that perfect call and response with everyone! I’m certain that I was the one who had the most fun at the venue (laughs).

Yujiro: I can vividly recall the sounds of cheers and the sights of the smiles on everyone’s faces from the very moment we began to sing our first song, Chocokano. The way the sea of penlights illuminated our Julieta had truly been a beautiful sight.

Q: Give us the inside scoop on the concert!

Aizo: After both performances had ended, I heard Yujiro sniffling a little. He seemed to be holding it in to avoid getting caught, but I’m pretty sure that he was crying.

Yujiro: What are you talking about? Your voice sounded pretty stuffy too, Aizo. You kept wiping your sweat, claiming that it was hot, but you were actually wiping your tears away, weren’t you?

Q: Please give a message to your Julieta.

Aizo: Our performances have yet to end! For the sake of seeing your smiles, Julieta, we’ll continue to deliver many new songs to you from here on out.

Yujiro: I hope that we’ll be able to meet the Julieta who couldn’t make it to this concert someday. The both of us, as LIPxLIP, will do our very best with our combined efforts to make that happen, so please continue to support us, okay?

Their 4th song, Meoto, was also another song that they had performed for the first time at this concert. It is a love song about a husband and wife whose love story had begun with their political marriage. In the music video, Yujiro starred in the role of the wife, and Aizo was cast as the husband, who happened to be a horned demon.

As I watched with bated breath, wondering how it would be performed live, the intro to the song began to play, and at that moment, I saw that Aizo had wrapped his arms around Yujiro’s back, and he looked to be embracing him?!

And thus the ephemeral yet bewitching world where no one else existed but just the two of them began to unfold…! Beneath the red stage lighting, the wife and husband gradually opened their hearts to each other. Yujiro, who had drawn from his experience in kabuki training, delivered a gorgeous performance in the role of the woman, which was beautiful down to the tiniest of his gestures. Aizo, on the other hand, had sealed off his usual smiles to play his role of an awkward, taciturn husband.

Like, how could your heart not pound at the actions of a husband gently draping a haori over his wife’s shoulders out of worry for her health, with the scene playing out as if it was synched up with the lyrics of the song? No, of course it would.

They exchanged passionate gazes, joined their hands, cupped each other’s cheeks, and, as the icing on the cake, they had even choreographed a kiss…!! Make no mistake, they have captivated their Julieta with their love story in Meoto.

A Sneak Peek of Their Emcee Portion

Yujiro: Ah right, Aizo started practising the call and response from Oshi no Mahou from the moment we arrived at the venue, isn’t that right?

Aizo: Well it’s fine, right?! I was looking forward to doing it after all. We haven’t had many songs with calls and responses, right? I think it’d be weirder if you weren’t looking forward to doing it at the concert.

Yujiro: But you kept looking at me and asking “What is it, what is it~?”, even though I didn’t say anything, didn’t you?

Aizo: You should’ve just gone along with it! Since there are two of us here, y’know! This guy over here just ignored me even when I said “Take this! It’s the Magic of your Idol!”, y’know?

Yujiro: It’s because I’m not a fan of you, Aizo.

Aizo: Geez, you’re so not cute! You were the one who was going all “I wonder if I look more cunning like this.” in front of the mirror for ages.

Yujiro: Well, of course. I have to show our Julieta the best parts of myself at all times. You there who’s waving your penlight, and you from all the way over there, you’ve fallen even more in love with me, haven’t you? (*Fanservices with a finger heart*)

Aizo: That’s no fair! Take this! It’s the Magic of your Idol from me too! Thank you! But come to think of it, Meoto is also a song with a fresh concept from our usual songs, right?

Yujiro: It sure is. I especially like our music video for it, since it allowed me to show off everything I had learned to do thus far. You were captivated by me too, weren’t you, Aizo?

Aizo: Well, you looked really good for sure, and I think you looked beautiful.

Yujiro: Eh? …Thanks. Ah, you had a different vibe than usual too, and you looked really cool yourself, Aizo.

Aizo: R-really…? Well, I guess so…!

Yujiro: But you did receive a warning from our costumer because you kept bumping into all sorts of things with your horns, right?

Aizo: Wha… Well I couldn’t help it, y’know! I couldn’t get a good grasp of my spatial awareness with the horns on. I’m really, truly, sorry for what happened back there, costumer! (*Bows repeatedly towards the wings of the stage*)

Yujiro: Ahaha.

I for one adore jewellery and would love putting it on my characters.

HOW DO YOU PUT JEWELLERY ON VEHICLES GRFRRBFKS

[elbiotipo]

Space flight (in real life) is not actually that exciting besides lift-off and landing, you just input the coordinates, make the burn to the desired speed, and then your spaceship just flies like a bullet to destination. You could need some course corrections and of course you need to keep the spaceship in shape, but computers take most of the busy work.

In my Campoestela universe, the aether, the *dimension* that spaceships use for FTL, is a bit different. It's a bit like a eternally cloudy sky. You do need to sit down and stay alert, much like flying an airplane. Most solo spaceships do it in stages, they lift off, fly a little on the aether, stop in some asteroid in deep space to rest a couple hours, fly again, and then land/dock at destination.

The whole experience is actually very much like long haul truckers.

Beto is, as established, a Space Trucker. So he needs to keep himself awake in those long hauls, and for him, who is often in the role of express delivery, it's even more important. So yerba mate is of course, VITAL, but there's also that has kept Argentines on the road awake for centuries: funny cassette tapes

That's right, since there's no radio in FTL and it's not practical in real space due to light-delay, when you NEED to keep your mind sharp, nothing is better than listening to the jokes of Space Luis Landriscina or Space Dr. Tangalanga or Space Les Luthiers. You can buy them in any gas station spacedock, and you better stock on them because the spacelanes are long

Beto, being a man of culture too, also buys a lot of tapes about history, geography and general culture too, this is why he has so much unexpected knowledge (they're technically podcasts but still). But you know his 'Mastropiero Que Nunca' tape is scratched to death from how many times he has listened to it.

This week’s had many high points but one of the quieter ones for me was finally having my own room where I can put @naniiebimworks ‘s Biblically Accurate Aziraphale up on my cabinet to totally reflect my LED bed lights like my Mica Door used to.

My recent performance of an old original tune of mine: “Personal Echo” :) It’s always so much fun to play!

catch me looking at BAFTA red carpet stuff and feeling weirdly lazy that I'm doing so in my pajamas, but for Christ's sake, it's 9 AM on Sunday morning where I am, I'm not being THAT silly

(Now, if I were doing that with the Oscars when it's in my time zone, it would be a very different conversation. :)

Lol so I've been a wee distracted so it's time to actually get back to some of these!

Slowly been getting back into working on my main WIP Rituals and Red Tape after kind of burning my writing brain out with the Kel Logs (Video Game Fanfiction audio drama thing). In this last sentence thing Alex is speaking with the leader of the Union about some odd happenings. While editing I had decided early on I wanted to expand on their time in the Hotel since for posting length I sorta breezed through it (also I had no idea what I was gonna do so I moved on to the part I wanted to write lmao)

“Well the place is still standing, I’d say that is worth feeling accomplished for.” I remark while ducking under a sudden 2x4 at head height. “‘preciated. I didn’t mean to be so short with ya, we’re all a little worn thin and seeing you two is the last thing my crew needs for it’s morale.”

man am I grateful to live in the digital age at times tho. the hell were all these poor people doing without archives immediately at their disposal for research and recreation. I know libraries, fanzines, clubs and the like have always provided an outlet but I'm too used to sitting here like a little emperor ringing my bell and having my aides (internet service provider and web browser) present me with treats from the scholars (hobbyist archivers)
