Lillian's Thoughts on Second Members

Jiro Yamada

"Jiro Yamada, also known as 'MC M.B (Middle Bro)'. Subject is the younger brother of Ikebukuro Division leader, Ichiro Yamada. Subject greatly admires and looks up to Ichiro, and takes any insult against him, be it joking or not, very seriously. Subject is an impressive athlete, making him very popular with the students in his place of education, and many of Ikebukuro's residents.

"Despite his impressive athletic ability, subject is well-known for his boisterous attitude, which often gets him into troubling situations. Subject is also not known his mental prowess despite being in higher learning. Despite that, he is still very popular with the majority of people outside of Ikebukuro. Time will tell if he will be a problem or not for Chuohku Subject is not a threat, but caution should be used regarding his bond with Subject Ichiro."

Jyuto Iruma

"Jyuto Iruma, also known as '45 Rabbit'. Subject is a member of the Yokohama Police force, and the active police-sergeant. Subject is well-known for his goal of not only removing all illegal drugs from Japan, but also eliminating the source of the drugs, as well as stopping the sale of it. To that end, he hopes to ascend the police ladder in order to gather more power and influence to make his dream a reality.

"However, subject has on more than one occasion crossed the line between right and wrong. He is disliked by the majority of the people in various divisions for being 'dirty'. It is well-known that he works with a variety of underhanded individuals and has taken bribes or passed them along in order to keep himself and others out of harm's way. This behavior, as stated, has earned him the hatred of almost every person in the D.R.B., especially Kisouna Yuzairu of Ueno Division, who has made it her personal goal to see him and his associates put in prison.

"Due to his work, he often reports directly to Kadenokoji-san directly. Personal opinion states that the Deputy Prime Minister could easily find someone who is less hated and less likely to float the rules. With Kadenokoji-san watching over him, subject is not a viable threat."

Gentaro Yumeno

"Gentaro Yumeno, also known as 'Phantom'. Subject is a well-known and popular writer in the city of Shibuya, who are counted among his best fans of his novels. Personal opinion states that his novels are quite good, and his talent for writing novels simply by observing his surroundings is very extraordinary and impressive.

"Subject is often stated to be 'outdated', due to his attire and his manner of speaking. Subject also appears to have an affinity for deception and lying, telling stories that appear to be truth, only to follow up with his familiar catchphrase, 'That was just a lie.' Personal opinion states that subject may use this as a safety mechanism to divert attention away from himself when he has something that he wishes to keep secret. While subject is not considered a threat, this can quickly change depending on how perceptive he is."

Hifumi Izanami

"Hifumi Izanami, also known as 'GIGOLO'. Subject is a popular and well-liked host at the 'Fragrance' host club in the city of Shinjuku. Subject is a charismatic and popular gentlemen, attracting women and females due to his persona. Personal opinion states that subject reminds me of..."

As she begins typing those words, Lillian suddenly stops as if remembering something from her past. The fogginess in her eyes slowly starts to vanish.

"...He reminds me of..."

Suddenly, a pain hits Lillian's head, just like before, making her grasp her head once more. A ringing sound vibrates in her ears as clenches her teeth in pain. A minute passes before the pain subsides and Lillian returns to normal, the fogginess in her eyes returning. She dismisses the previous line in her report, and resumes typing.

"Despite subject's attitude, this persona only seems to manifest when he is equipped with his trademark grey suit jacket. When it is equipped, subject becomes his flirtatious and appealing self. When his jacket is off, however, subject's true persona reveals itself, as subject becomes deadly afraid of women, and quickly shies away from them for fear of them hurting him. Intel states that subject was horribly bullied by women when he was younger, thus making him scared of them. Though not entirely concrete, research shows that Honobono-san, Vice Chief of the Chuohku's Criminal Bureau, may have had something to do with this.

"To fight this fear, subject has conditioned his mind to approach women when using his suit jacket, which explains his reasoning for becoming a host. Personal opinion states it will be very interesting to see if subject can outlast this fear with Chuohku in charge. As such, subject is not deemed a threat."

Rosho Tsutsujimori

"Rosho Tsutsujimori, also known as 'WISDOM'. Subject is a popular and well-liked mathematics teacher in one of Osaka's prominent private schools. Subject constantly encourages students to try their best and teaches in an easy way for students to understand, which explains his popularity.

"Despite his skill at teaching, subject appears to have a fear of speaking in front of large audiences. This fear was created after an, as-of-now, unknown traumatic event that transpired while he was in a comedy duo with his longtime friend, Sasara Nurude, Leader of Osaka Division and the Dotsuitare Hompo. As such, subject becomes extremely frightened when speaking in front of more than three individuals at a time. Personal opinion states that he should consider a new line of work, such as tutoring. Subject is not deemed a threat by Chuohku."

Jyushi Aimono

"Jyushi Aimono, also known as '14th Moon'. Subject is a popular Visual kei musician, and the vocalist for the Visual kei band, ArgoξOrchestra. Subject appears to be very narcissistic, taking extra care to look as attractive as he can, whilst speaking in a grandiose and overbearing voice, making him sound much older than he truly is.

"However, despite his personality, this is only when he is on stage or when meeting new individuals. In reality, subject is actually soft-spoken and very shy. Personal opinion states that, despite their disliking for each other, subject has very similar personality traits to Subject Hifumi of Shinjuku. Due to being harshly bullied whilst in high school, subject shies away from interaction and has a very hard time controlling his emotions, much like Subject Yano Ietsuna of Toyama Division. As such, subject relies on the comfort of the few friends he has, and 'Amanda', a stuffed pig doll, which is a source of security for him. Subject is not deemed a threat by Chuohku."

Kisouna's Thoughts on Harajuku Division

Emiko Akaibara

"Emiko Akaibara, a.k.a. Valentine. Leader of the Alley Catz.

"As Shisuta-san stated, Emiko-chan has a very positive and optimistic outlook, despite the fact that life dealt her a bad blow earlier. As stated, she's a very optimistic young woman, it's hard to believe that she's only 19. Aranai-chan could learn a lot from her..."

Hiroshi Sakura

"Hiroshi Sakura, a.k.a. Royal Scandal.

"At first glance, this man reminds me a lot of Hifumi-san of Shinjuku. Both men seem like shameless flirts, despite the fact that one is completely afraid of women. If that were it, I wouldn't have too much of a problem with Hiroshi-san. However, I can't fully trust him due to the fact that he is acquainted with the traitor, Jyuto Iruma. I know that may seem minuscule, but until I find out more, I'm afraid I have to be very cautious around him."

Seiichi Asagao

"Seiichi Asagao, a.k.a. Killjoy.

"Like Shisuta-san, I also have respect for artists. Unfortunately, this young man does not fit that category. I dislike graffiti, street art, or whatever you want to call it. Drawing or painting your name or symbol in some sort of unique way on government buildings or walls still counts as vandalism, and it will not exempt you from any sort of punishment. Aranai-chan has stated that she had to clean up some of the walls of the city after this young man had vandalized them.

"I've not caught wind of him here in Ueno City. But if I do, I promise you that he won't give off with just a slap on the wrist if I catch him messing up our city walls again."

Alley Catz

"Battle-wise, the Harajuku Division has some very strong and capable people on their team. Their abilities fit the city's lifestyle of fun and enjoyment. If we face them in battle, then I think eliminating Emiko-chan first would be the best course of action, as her ability seems to be the most dangerous.

"Other than, the team of Alley Catz seems like a capable enough team, and good people. If fortune allows it, maybe we'll be able to communicate with them after the D.R.B."

Intermission (AjinWeek2020/1)

Day 1: Favourite Character (Shimomura Izumi)

Note: Truthfully I felt bad choosing, as I have four favourite characters in Ajin (Kei, Kou, Izumi and Tosaki.) This OS focuses on Izumi however, she deserves light to shine. Enjoy! :)

…….

Career counseling goes a little like this.

“What would you like to do after school, Miss Tainaka? Where do you see yourself in a few years?”

“I don’t know.” Yoko pauses.

“Your grades are fine, although if you applied yourself more I’m sure you could produce even better scores. Looking at attendance-“

She drowns out the voice. She doesn’t even know if she’ll still be alive by then.

….

It’s cold and filthy. Everyone she meets is a stranger at best. She mistrusts, but she thinks it’s essential for survival. Locking her door. Taking up offers that guarantee freedom despite repulsing her inside out. There’s a price to pay for everything in life.

“Be wary, Yoko.” Her mother used to say, “Not everyone is your friend.”

She misses her. Sometimes, in the quiet hours of the morning, she imagines her voice.

She doesn’t cry.

….

Death is blinking machines and hospital sheets. Death is white curtains and the pungent smell of antiseptic. Death is talking to a figure by her bedside that knows her name and plays her a recording of her mother.

She’s heard about the famous last moments one experiences. The movie-reel flashbacks. A wish for forgiveness. Inner peace.

Instead, all she can think about, as she drifts off, warm and letting loose, is how futile her endeavors proved to be.

She tried hard to vanish.

Now she’ll die with an identity, after all.

….

Yoko resets and Yoko becomes Izumi. Izumi takes on her father’s last name, and ironically, that’s as close to her heritage as she ever got.

Shimomura Izumi has a one-bedroom apartment in Ueno and a work contract with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Shimomura Izumi has an immortal lifespan and a boss that holds her secret leverage against her. In theory.

In practice he buys her her first set of office clothes and essentials, and pays her a decent wage. She’s probably setting the bar low, she thinks. Not that she has much to compare too.

In practice they spend long hours together in what is almost companiable silence. A job that seems bleak and ordinary on the outside, and probably would be, if not for the horrendous documents she has to look at.

“Give that to me.” he says one evening, pulling a large, nausea-inducing stack of “Classified-Governmental” files from her desk. “I’m out of work, anyway.”

That’s a lie, and she knows it. But she’s not one to turn down a good offer.

“You may leave for today.”

….

They capture Nagai Kei. Twice. The first time, Izumi won’t speak about.

The second time, it’s not only him, but also Nakano Kou, another Ajin.

The second time, they’re already one foot in jail, hiding out in an old military building in the woods.

“You should move in here.” says Tosaki, nonchalantly, turning away from the window where he’s observing the daily training rounds much to Nagai’s chagrin, “It would be more efficient.”

“Perhaps.” Izumi says, retaining a neutral expression. She is better off keeping out of attachments.

A few days later, she moves her spare belongings. She likes the familiarity and quiet of her apartment. But she prefers not being alone.

…..

Days become a routine. They don’t end until past midnight.

There’s a new, worn-out couch in their pseudo-livingroom, courtesy of Hirasawa and Manabe and a location they won’t disclose.

Izumi lies down, sighing in bliss at the brief respite. Then, she picks up her accounting reports that glare at her accusingly from the side table.

“You’re going to fall asleep like this.” Tosaki objects when he comes in later, taking a seat at a table and throwing throwing her an amused glance.

“My rhythm works well into the night. There’s no reason for concern.” Izumi replies, writing small notes in the margins before angling for her calculator.

Tosaki scoffs, but bites back further comments.

When Izumi next comes to, the clock on the wall shows 4 am.

There is a pillow under her head and a light blanket thrown across her. Her documents have been neatly stacked on the nearest table.

She sighs, and, fighting the urge to roll over and sleep until morning, she heads to her bedroom, taking her work with her.

She finishes an hour later. Three hours later, she wakes up and makes Tosaki a cup of coffee he didn’t ask for.

…….

Ogura is the only one who partakes in her smoking habit. They’re outside the hideout, sitting on a bench. Despite the time of night, it’s still unbelievably warm. Izumi slips out of her sandals and touches the grass with bare feet. A bunch of cicadas scream in the background.

“Wonder what he’ll be up to if he ever grows tired of burning down the world.” She says, sighing and stares out into the pitch-black night infront of them. They’re arrived full-circle at one of their favourite topics.

“Satou’ll never get bored.” Ogura objects, squashing his cigarette against the wall before lighting a new one reflexively.

“He’s a gamer, isn’t he? And he’s already streaming on his website. He’ll want to stay hip and go with the crowd. Not gonna be long until he opens a Youtube gaming channel.”

Izumi stares at him, incredulously.

“He would. It’s all the rage in the States. He’d pick a fancy name, too. Like…killer-grandpa-606”

“Stop it.” Izumi says, choking on her next drag.

“Murderous-maniac-xoxo.”

“Killers-with-Hats.”

“That’s a good one.”

Her knowledge of pop-culture has steadily improved, mostly due to Nakano’s influence, but also Nagai’s- although she would never put him on the spot like that.

…………..

They’re not supposed to use the internet, as not to leave traces on websites, and they’re most certainly not supposed to have social media profiles. Izumi senses a loosing battle far into the first few weeks. Does she have evidence? No, she would tell Tosaki-san blankly. She only has a hint.

(She personally logs Nakano out of his youtube account on multiple occasions.)

Instead, she calculates and sends emails with attachments, and installs a VPN on every single device she can get her hands on. That’s more than she can do.

It’s more than she knew how to do, weeks prior. Adapt, overcome.

………….

The name is a fraud. There’s no Yukimura Hifumi – none, that she knows of, at least. But she’ll need a fake I.D. one day. They all will. It’s a little like a vacation they can’t take, she thinks, surveying country maps for places to flee to. “I have an aunt in Kyoto.” she says, one evening.

“And she can be considered trustworthy?”

“She has dementia.” Izumi says. And a house that reminds her of vacations spend with her mother. And a backyard where the neighbours’ cats frequent.

“We’ll consider it.”

….

Somedays, she finds it hard to stand up. Somedays, she finds it easy.

On every single day, she pushes herself regardless.

“Good morning, Kuro-chan.” she says, like every morning, and opens the window.

She’ll make this identity her own.

[Interview] Kimura Subaru with Numan

You can check the original interview here

Profile

Kimura Subaru

Born on June 29th in Germany. Trilingual, speaks Japanese, English, German.

After acting in the musical “Annie”, he worked extensively as a voice actor, narrator, entertainer, model, and a singer. President of “Theatre Company Bakabakka” since 2009. Famous cola lover.

Appeared in the anime “Doraemon” (as Jaiyan / Gouda Takeshi), the anime “Haikyuu!!” (as Tendou Satori), the movie “Kingsman” (as Gary “Eggsy” Unwin), NHK “Tanken Bakumon”, and others.

- What was your opinion when you heard of “Hypnosis Mic”?

Kimura: I remember thinking that it was an opportunity just for me in the voice acting world (laughs). I felt extremely happy and thought “The time has finally come!!” I had no idea of how many voice actors felt the desire to rap, so at first I kind of thought it was a lie. As a joke, the idea would have been great… But, I never thought the time of voice actors rapping would ever come. So it was “a dream within a dream” had come true kind of feeling.

- Rap is a style that tells about yourself, so it goes well with characters songs, however, it’s not a genre often explored.

Kimura: I think that, in that sense, when I’m singing the character song, I’m also singing as that character. I wondered why everyone [voice actors] didn’t rap until now. I think it’s a good opportunity, since you get to hear all the voice actors tap into the rap genre and many people don’t listen to hip-hop, especially a lot of females. Looking through Twitter, some talks about hip-hop are like “Writing HIP HOP* makes it seem like we’re trying to look cool so let’s put it in katakana” and things like that. Hearing everyone hesitate like that shows progress and makes me happy. It may look like I’m trying to seem superior to everyone and being arrogant, but I’m actually very happy that everyone is getting into hip-hop.

T/N: Originally in English.

- First, can you tell us the charm of Ikebukuro Division’s “Buster Bros!!!”?

Kimura: Well, unlike the other teams, we are the “three brothers”, so this alone makes the team special. Being a crew of brothers is cool in a unique way and you can see in the drama that the interactions between the three are very intimate. Since they have the bond from being together since birth, “Buster Bros!!!” has the character of loyalty which gives a sense of security.

- What were your impressions on Yamada Ichiro’s younger brothers: the second brother, Jiro, and the third brother, Saburo?

Kimura: Jiro is passionate. Since he is the second son, he struggles between being like an older or younger brother. He looks up to his older brother and at the same time acts like a good role model to the youngest; you can easily see these two sides in his character. On the other hand, the third brother, Saburo, tends to be cynical. It’s quite amusing how the brothers are so different.

- The connection between the brothers can be also noticed in their songs, the standard in Ichiro’s song, following into Jiro’s song, and putting a little classical twist into Saburo’s song.

Kimura: That’s exactly the case. Ichiro breaks through the barrier, then Jiro strikes, and Saburo cleans it up stylishly. It’s beautiful to listen to them in this order.

- Do you feel any similarities between Yamada Ichiro and yourself?

Kimura: We are both the eldest sibling. And I also want to be a loyal and respectable brother. I am a bit envious that Ichiro is naturally like that. I have a younger sister, but it’s a “you’re my older brother but it doesn’t mean you’re better than me” type of relationship (laughs), so I admire his older brother vibes.

- I would like to ask about the other divisions. What can you tell about the relationship between Ichiro and Aohitsugi Samatoki, who leads Yokohama Division’s “Mad Trigger Crew”?

Kimura: Even though in this story we are rivals, privately I get along well with Asanuma-san. There’s a gap in our roles, but because of that, we have fun acting together. Like, “Even though your character says you hate me, you like me, don’t you?” (laughs). Because of that sense of reassurance, we can battle to our heart’s desire. I was being self-conscious, but when we’re standing on stage together during the first live, there’re some lines that I was hesitant to say... So I appreciate that Asanuma-san is here. “Don’t think too much, smash!! Bring it on!!” type of feeling (laughs).

Their album is wonderful. The cast of rappers who participated was deluxe, the characters’ appearance were well done and the rappers who wrote the lyrics were able to show a lot of their own style. People who don’t know much [about hip-hop] will easily get to know the characters through the songs. On the other hand if they’re into hip-hop, they’d think things like “This is very like Uzi-San” or “these are Kuro-san’s lyrics”. This feeling will be even stronger when it comes to Samatoki’s song that Cypress Ueno-san wrote, they will probably think “Woah, these are Cypress’ lyrics, for sure!”, and things like this. I think anyone can listen to the album and understand it. I want people to try listening to the songs composed/written by UZI-san, Cypress-san and “HOME MADE family”.

If the person already knows about those things, the face of the rapper who wrote the lyrics comes up. If they don’t, the face of the character or the voice actors comes up. This is the highlight of “Hypnosis Mic” too. Everyone putting their power together to create hip-hop is what makes this world so united. I think it’s a good idea to create a song by everyone.

- On December 6th, Shinjuku Division’s “Matenrou” got very popular because of their CD releasement. It was selling everywhere.

Kimura: It’s super cool. So cool and scary! (Jinguji) Jakurai-san is the last boss kind of scary. Hayami Show-san is a good actor when acting as the character, but his rap is also extremely powerful within that group. Hayami-san’s voice and such were already great to begin with, but when he’s rapping it stands out so much. I think even a rapper would be surprised if they heard it, it’s so gangsta.

If you had to describe it by a genre, it’s like a “poetry rap” type of song. It’s poetic and its slight displacement with the music still matches the rhythm. A rap that goes off beat with the music would be difficult for beginners, however Hayami-san pulled it off wonderfully. He should become a rapper right away!

(Kannonzaka) Doppo’s (CV: Ito Kento) rap is also poetic. And then there’s, (Izanami) Hifumi’s (CV: Kijima Ryuchi) EDM-like, party-like rap… It’s like the kind of rap that you would want to listen to when you’re at the beach in summer, and bob your head to (laughs). It’s different but in a good way.

Doppo’s edgy poetry rap goes well with the background track. The part with the live drums in the back is a dry snare… just kidding (laughs)(1). The snare drum in the background sounds super cool.

- Shibuya Division’s Fling Posse is still unknown, isn’t it?

Kimura: I haven’t listen to their songs yet, so I’m looking forward to it. I’m interested in Saito Soma-kun’s rap in particular. He is a voice actor I’m familiar with, and in private we listen to hip-hop together. He, himself, has never done rap before, but I’m looking forward to how it’s going to be after listening to me rap several times. I think it’s going to be good in rhythm and high quality in general.

Also, Shibuya’s characters are interesting; an idol-like designer, a gambler, and a writer. I’m looking forward to it.

- If you got to choose, what division would you want to be in yourself, Kimura-san?

Kimura: Ah, that’s a hard choice. They’re all good!! It’s hard to choose one, I’d like to be in all of them. Or, to make a new team. I’d like to make an overseas group (laughs), a division of three people from New York called “Beastie Boys”, “Run-D.M.C.” or “The Super Cool Crew of 3 MCs have Arrived!!” (laughs).

- Would the new division be a threat to the others (laughs)?

Kimura: I mean, I want to be in all of them! Shibuya Division’s dangerous feeling is also cool.

- Since the team colors are different and they’re all attractive in their own way, the fan’s are probably like, “I think I like this division!” and can’t make a decision.

Kimura: We also do mean things. Like, which team is the best? Should we support all teams, or should we just show extra support to one team, you see.

- How about looking back at the first live at “Animate Girls Festival 2017 (AGF 2017)”?

Kimura: It was so cool! I was nervous on how many female audiences during that time would come to watch since it was hip-hop. I couldn’t imagine so many people would travel to come see us just because they were interested.

I thought that, little by little, the wall would break. But I didn’t think that it would be this big. It’s been like that for hip-hop so far. Currently, “Freestyle Dungeon”‘s hip-hop and such are popular, but it isn’t something new, hip-hop has existed for long time now. People probably didn’t listen to it because of the lack of interest or the fact that it seemed scary. Rappers have been on this path for about 30 years now.

Therefore, if we keep working on Hypnosis mic steadily like this, when it blows up, everyone will look back at how hip hop has became, and think “we have been working hard on it since 5, 6 years ago!” That’s how I imagined it’d be like, out of the blue. It’s wonderful.

I think what made the live revolutionary was the fact that the fans that gathered worked so hard and even brought pen-lights that were on until the end. I’ve never seen people bring pen-lights to a hip-hop live, so it was nice seeing everyone raising their hands with a pen-light. It should be a holiday, “The day the girls used pen-lights”. It’s good to talk about it. It’s revolutionary, really!

- It was an event that greatly moved both sides, but do you have any expectations for fans in the future?

Kimura: Hip-hop was originally people saying “I want to change something” or even bigger, “I want to change the world”. So I hope people have received that message. Hip-hop originated in the US when black people weren’t recognized properly and lived in poor conditions. They would have no money and had to handle weapons and drugs to survive. I believe the important message was “I want to change the world, I want world peace”.

So first of all, I want people to understand that message, and, to make a change as a result of it. It’s this idea that instead of screaming at the wall alone, you’re asking everyone “What do you think?”. Another characteristic of Hip-Hop on the other hand, are negative responses/comebacks like “What did you just say?”; if there could be positive reactions too like “I think so too, so let’s do it together!”, it would be nice in my opinion.

I think this reaction towards “Hypnosis Mic” is also important. A clear call and response is important, but I wish for people to voice if it’s cool or not and if it’s boring or not. It is wonderful that everyone is enjoying it. But it’s also fine if there’s something wrong. If it’s cool, I would like people to say that it’s cool, but I would also like to hear everyone’s own reactions too.

For example, if there’s a live where Matenrou is overpowering Buster Bros!!, it’s ok to call “Back off-!!” in hip-hop culture (laughs). It’s over exaggerating the way of saying it, but it’s good for guests to engage in the hip-hop culture.

- The NicoNico regular live stream called “Hypnosis Mic - Nico Rap Battle” is also a great success. What challenges would you like to see in the future?

Kimura: I hope that everyone gets into hip-hop, so it’s wonderful that this time there are quite a lot of people that have knowledge on it. Even if it’s just a little bit, it’s good to know a bit about the genre. It would be nice if people got into the “lyrics”, not as karaoke, but as “tracks”. With that kind of feeling, I hope people get to know more about hip-hop. They also introduce various rappers so it would be nice if people say, “So there are these kinds of rappers” and got into them. Also, this is the only place where you get to hear voice actors rap, so it’s interesting in that sense.

Something I would like to do… I would like to do a live on the Nico Broadcast. There are music programs that are like, “So with that said, preparations are ready, let’s sing…,” like, “Oops, I made a mistake” types (laughs). It’s also a good idea to show live images. I would like to do that type of thing too.

- On January 21st, they are doing a Nico Live to celebrate the CD releases. What are your thoughts?

Kimura: Hip-hop, as a source, is important, but, as I mentioned earlier, we want people to hear it, that’s why having the opportunity for lives in front of guests are important. The AGF event in November was very good, and there will be different members in January, that’s why I’m looking forward to it. Someday I want to do a live with everyone. And in a place where popular rappers have performed… like the Budoukan!

I hope that something like this will happen in the future. For example, UZI-san announcing the featuring of voice actors in the future or something along those lines. Such as Asanuma-san featuring on an album of Cypress-san or Kamio-san being included by UZI-san in his works. It would be nice. In that sense, I have a desire for there to be a bridge between voice actors and hip-hop.

- Kimura-san, you worked on the lyrics of Ichiro’s song “Ore ga Ichiro”. What part stuck out to you?

Kimura: There’s the similarity to the character, but there’s also the fact that it’s easy to understand and listen to it. I talked about singing poetry rap, but my favorite type is when the sound is beautiful, and when the beat is as if made for the lyrics. There’s the part where it’s easy to listen, but I also enjoy the parts with word plays.

Also, songs that you can’t just listen to once, you need to listen to it a second time to enjoy the lyrics…[but] you’d still have the same mental image as you had first time you listened to it. Plus, it’s not just the sound from the word plays, but how the meaning of the words change. When you listen to the music you don’t really notice anything, but when you pay attention to the lyrics, the “woah, really” reaction comes and there’s a clear vision of the character. Like “there’s a different meaning behind them”, or “that’s what it’s saying but that’s not the actual message” type of thing. I quite like songs like that, I’m obsessed with them.

I especially like the second verse that goes, “There are still some things you haven’t seen”, “Our motive power ends the darkness”, “Even if it rains tomorrow I believe in my friends” and “No matter what happens on the battlefield, you can’t run away”. At first you listen only to the song, but after looking at the words, you go “Ah!!” (laughs).

- Please recommend the readers of “Kodowari Girls” any artists or albums.

Kimura: There’s a popular Japanese hip-hop album by Zeebra-san called “The Anthology” and it’s probably his best album. It’s a collection of his best works from the past to the present. Zeebra-san is the founder of Japanese hip-hop, so if you listen to his work, you’ll understand Japanese hip-hop better. A variety of rappers from different genres participate so please listen to it.

Recently, I’ve been listening to the album by Gaki Ranger, “Kinky Kids”, that came out in August 2017, and also “Saiji”, that was released two years ago. Those are particularly good. There are party tunes to mellow and even some edgy songs in there. A characteristic of Gaki Ranger is their deep lyrics. Their meanings have a type of attraction, so I want you to try listening to it.

There’s also Ketsumeishi’s album “Ketsu no Polis 2”. Ketsumeishi used to rap a lot before, unlike now that he mostly sings. Specifically in the songs “Tegami~Kako”, “Tegami~Genzai” and “Tegami~Mirai”. It is a wonderful trilogy and I encourage you to listen to it!

- And finally, please show us the famous human beatbox!

1. Kimura makes pun here by calling the drum dry and says snare at the end of his sentence, but he is actually talking about the snare drum.
