SongFacts:

"I Wanna B with U" is a song by the German Eurodance band Fun Factory, released on April 18, 1995 by various labels as the first single from the band's second album, Fun-Tastic (1995). The song was a top 10 hit in Canada, while in Europe it was a top 20 hit in Austria (18), Finland (12) and Germany (11). In the United States, "I Wanna B with U" reached number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number ten on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. It remains one of her most successful songs and is also her biggest hit in the US. The accompanying music video was shot by Frank Paul Husmann-Labusga and shows the band performing at a garden party. The track was released with remixes by Mousse T, Sequential One and Simon Harris.

Larry Flick of Billboard opined that songs like "I Wanna B with U" are "dance music at its purest and most celebratory." A reviewer from Music Week gave it four out of five and wrote: "A summery, reggae-flavored song with the oft-repeated title line making for a great hook." Certainly there will be radio playlists, with big sales to follow." RM Dance Update's James Hamilton described it as "wailing girl chanting and gruff dudes rapping Euro-reggae lurchers."

some fun Guardians of Azuma tidbits from the Famitsu interview with Director Shiro Maekawa:

Maekawa & Producer Hisashi Fujii apparently got into a Lot of arguments during game planning lol. they seem to have mostly been about when & where to keep things the same as they were in previous RFs vs trying new things and innovating

the goal for Azuma was to return to the RPG-focus of RF the series was originally designed to establish, as they felt it was drifting a little too closely to Bokumono in more recent entries and wanted to experiment with adventure RPG features / emphasise that vibe before 6 came out so that the transition in feel between 5 and 6 wasn’t too overwhelming

The OST for the game was recorded by a live orchestra, which was the idea of the game’s composer Noriyuki Asakura

Mauro’s airship is just directly the one from RF4, albeit remodelled. [Not part of the interview: he is also apparently the De Sainte-Coquille of the game]

Iroha was named after the poem “The Iroha” (いろは), as a reference to her being effectively the Tutorial Character who “teaches the protagonist the ABC’s of the game”

Matsuri is the general staff favourite character! (She’s also Maekawa’s pick for a favourite.)

Kurama is a gamer. Literally described as a “game nerd & homebody” type.

Kai was designed with the intent of being “the most handsome male character” to emphasise the reveal involved in his removing his mask LOL

The gods all have full names — Ulalaka’s is “Harunoulalakanahinomikoto,” or “ハルノウララカナヒノミコト” (“spring is coming”).

Subaru & Kaguya both being available in the story (and marriable) was directly inspired by Oceans, as Maekawa said he liked the concept there & thought it was a bummer it hadn’t been in 4 or 5

Maekawa directly brought up same-sex marriage being available #ally

The four seasonal villages available in the game have their own specific village levels / rankings that can be improved to unlock new features and things like crafting recipes (similar to, say, SoS Trio of Towns’ town ranking feature). one example they used was the volcano near Summer Village becoming active & being usable as a hot spring source once you level the village up enough

They’ve added up / down as aiming & fighting directions for battle, as well as ranged combat (both of these being what bows and talismans were added for). Bows are manual aim & talismans are automatic aim

Overall it’s a game the team is very, very proud of & that they’re excited to share with fans! They got a lot of feedback from staff in different departments who acted as playtesters & went over everything until they were proud enough of the product to describe themselves as such.

Lyrics:

Don't go away, please stay by my side

Just hold me tight

I want to be with you tonight

Don't go away and show me your love

You bring me joy

You are the center of my life

Oh Darling you, you drive me crazy

And I don't know what to do

I lose control

I want to be your full-time lover

And no matter where you are

I want to be with you

Hey! Don't go away, don't go away

Hey! Know what you say

Just another day

Hey! You save my time

And a lot of sunshine

Well this is the trick

And everybody feeling fine

What time what time is it now?

We don't care

We enjoy the summer

And the love that we share

We want you, yes, you, by our side

Don't go away, please stay by my side

Just hold me tight

I want to be with you tonight

Don't go away and show me your love

You bring me joy

You are the center of my life

You know that you're my only lover

And I hope that I am your, your only one, too

You said that there, there is no other

And now I'm sitting here like a fool

Hey! Just take it slow, just take it slow

Nowhere to running

Nowhere to go

Hey! Enjoy the party

With the rest of the crew

Cause what we do, we do it for you

Don't stand around, come on, just kick it

Cause when we're in the house

You know we're getting wicked

Let's have a party

Cause we love you so

Songwriter:

Don't go away, please stay by my side

Just hold me tight

I want to be with you tonight

Don't go away and show me your love

You bring me joy

You are the center of my life

[i-like-forcefem]

Do you genuinely want to turn "boys" into girls or do you only do this to force them to do something they don't want to do just to laugh at them behind their backs and call them disgusting in front of everyone while they aren't around?

Cutie I like helping girls transition, sometimes all someone needs is a little push, and I aim to give them a massive shove right into a pool of Estrogen!

I’m genuinely a little surprised by this ask! (If you like degration maybe go to the @i-like-extreme-forcefem side blog?)

But seriously cutie, there’s nothing more fun than making a girl realise they’re a girl! Femininity is one of the world’s most beautiful things!

You’re allowed to be a girl and it’s not disgusting!

i wish you'd take better care of yourself
