if i had a penny for everytime my fave gay ship is a raven x redhead i'd have 3 pennies, which isn't a lot but i don't think it's a coincidence either

given - lost in translation

we know that when the band was just uenoyama, haru and kaji the band was named "the seasons" because they all have the kanjis for the seasons in their names, but here's the breakdown :

uenoyama : 立夏 (rikka - given name) meaning first day of summer

haruki : 中山 (haruki) ; 中 (haru) meaning spring

kaji : 秋彦 (akihiko) ; 秋 (aki) meaning autumn

they could've kept "the seasons" with the inclusion of mafuyu, too, since

真冬 (mafuyu) -> 真 (ma) - true ; 冬 (fuyu) - winter

but did you also know that pain is endless 🥲 because

although yuki's name uses the kanji 由紀 (yu - reason, cause ; ki - chronicle) it is also a homophone for 雪 (yuuki - snow)

so

"just like the snow in the shade that hasn't completely melted, i continue on with these feelings inside me" (first line of fuyunohanashi / a winter story / mafuyu's song)

winter can exist without the snow but snow can't exist without winter ദ്ദി ꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ )

The music video made me want to draw some Mafuyama.

Excuse me you can NOT tell me this

Is not that same person as this

They even both have a redhead boyfriend! Excuse me but they are the same person just from different universes. I dare you to try and convince me otherwise!

I was so happy to see you grace my tl again - if only for a few posts. I miss your given metas and would LOVE to hear your take on syh's Straight and Parade and any predictions you might have for Umi e!

Thanks for the ask! It has been a while! I was going to do a proper analysis of the songs once I've seen the mix movie but I thought I might share some initial observations for Straight!

EASTER EGGS in SYH's STRAIGHT

Mafuyu's key in C minor, the relative minor key. The song is in Eb major, the relative major key. It's also what I call the sunshine key (Uenoyama's key) ☀️ which is the same key as all the songs on the Given mini-album release.

Chorus 0:22 has the same chord progression as the first part of Fuyunohanashi, which can indicate that Hiiragi and Shizu are also trying their best to heal from Yuki. Seriously, try singing the chorus of Fuyunohanashi on top of Straight's first chorus, they literally layer perfectly on top of each other!!!

CHORDS ARE SO INTERESTING HERE

Chord progression diverges from Fuyunohanashi in the second part of the chorus 0:41 to go from VI -> VII -> I, which is the same tiers di picardie chordal progression as Kizuato's (Given OP) ending as well as Yorugaakeru!!! This chord progression finishes in major to show that the boys are healing from Yuki and trauma.

Lyrics in that chord progression are super meaningful here

Kizuato "Whatever you left behind has now become my life".

Also Yoorugaakeru lyrics are "Look this Dawn is about to break that's why it'll be ok"

Straight: "I will keep singing until it reaches you"

Doesn't that sound like Hiiragi/Yuki/Uenoyama talking directly to Mafuyu???!! 🥹😭❤️🙏

Guitar Solo by Uenoyama has a delicious easter egg

1:01 same as the lyrics "Time and Time again" in Given's mini album track stagekara kiminisasagu. Meaning that time and time again he'll be here for Mafuyu ❤️😭

I am almost 100% certain that every other part of that solo is a reference to lyrics in Given songs because all the other bits are so I'll have to have another proper listen.

That's it! Hope this made sense coming from a music nerd's ramblings! ____

I am very biased with oldest sibling characters

Alec was my favourite from moment one

Wylan, sign me up

Pip needn’t say more than “her little brother” for me to instantly think she is one of the coolest MCs

Tori springs older sister magic🫡

Micheal Afton=Oldest Brother=Cool

Uenoyamas’ big-sister is really cool the five seconds on screen she gets

Itachi might have murdered some people, but he is big bro, what was he supposed to do?

Yor Briar/Forger is very cool, she can’t cook for the life of her, but big sis is always big sis<3
