WHITE SCORPION RELAY INTERVIEW - ACE

WHITE SCORPION released their 5th digital single "Satisfaction graffiti" on April 7, attracting a lot of attention as an 11-member idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, who was selected through the IDOL 3.0 PROJECT audition. Since their debut with "Eyes on the Sniper," they have released a series of digital singles every month, and this is the fifth in the series. The girls were still a little primitive when they debuted, but they have shown remarkable growth in the past four months. We asked the girls about their thoughts on this album and the changes that have taken place since their debut. The interview will be delivered in a relay format. First up is ACE.

-Looking back from your debut to the present, were there any impressive events or changes or growth in yourself?

I have felt the changes and growth in myself during the course of my activities. Before I became an idol, I would wake up late every day around noon, go to school, had a part-time job, and went out with my family and friends on my days off. Thankfully, I was able to change that daily routine and started taking lessons and filming from the day I passed the auditions, which kept me busy and gave me many new experiences. I felt that I gained a lot from the music video shoots in particular. I can really feel the passion of the people who are involved in the project, and we would practice seriously so that we can produce great results. We do shootings from morning till night, and whenever I look at the finished music video, I'll be touched by it, I'll also find a new side of myself with a happy expression. At first, there was a part of me that was happy my dream that I had been chasing for a long time had finally come true, but as get to know the people involved, I realized that I should not be complacent and that I should continue to work hard. I no longer have the need to tell my mother on the phone that I am weak, or that I feel depressed because of how boring everyday is. I think that is growth.

-You had many big events such as TV appearances and TGC since. Could you tell us how it went? Also, what did those experiences mean to you?

I had many opportunities to appear on TV with "Eyes on the Sniper" right after my debut, but since it had only been a short time since my debut, at first it felt like a dream come true. I was influenced by the responses I received after the show aired and by the people I had the opportunity to work with, and now I am determined to steadily seize each opportunity. I was really surprised to appear in TGC. It was something I had been aiming to do someday, so I was very happy, but at the same time, I was very excited to be on such a big stage like Yoyogi National Gymnasium.

When I thought about how to promote ourselves to people who don't know us, I thought that a performance in which we give our all and work hard would win the hearts of the audience. I remember Ally, who was standing in the front with me, patting me on the back when I was nervous, and that really motivated me to do my best.

-There has been many song releases and I think that you have been able to show many different sides through the songs. Please choose one of the songs and tell us about which part that has impressed you the most. Please also tell us how the song affected the group, the members, and yourself.

It is very difficult to choose one song because they are all so wonderful and attractive.... I think that the 2nd song " The Coyotes Are Calling" is the song that had a greatest impact on me and the group. After the 1st single “Eyes on the Sniper”, I decided to spread WHITE SCORPION to as many people as possible! At that time, I received my first singing and solo part. When I saw the choreography video, I was filled with joy, but at the same time, I also felt anxious. I cried a lot, out of frustration when I couldn't hit the high notes due to nervousness during the first performance. Now, I have gradually gained more confidence and can able to sing with pride. I wonder if I am growing together with this song? I think. It's a song that is very popular with both the fans and the members, so I'm really happy and grateful to have been given this song.

--How do you see the current state of White Scorpion and yourself after having gone through all those things? If there have been any changes since your debut, please tell us about them as well.

Although we are still far from WHITE SCORPION's goals of “worldwide” and “dome performances,'' the number of people coming to our monthly release events is increasing, and our songs are starting to be played at various stores. I feel like we're making a lot of progress, so I want everyone to work together and not be too satisfied with the current situation. As for myself, I'm still figuring it out. I don't fully understand my position in the group, my character, or my abilities, so I want to focus on what's in front of me with all my might. I'm thinking that by doing this, not just myself, but the fans and staff who watch me around will be able to find my true self.

--What are your thoughts on the new song "Satisfaction graffiti" and what are the impressive lyrics?

All four of our songs so far have been amazing, so I listened to the preview with high expectations. "Satisfaction graffiti", which starts with an electronic-like sound, is the most shocking song I've ever heard. I thought that the lyrics, which depict the struggle between being an adult and a child, would resonate with many people. In particular, the first chorus, "I don't care if I get hurt, just ruin everything…" and "I want you to return this love sometime somewhere," are amazing and my favorite lyrics because they are both sad yet strong and willful.

--How was the choreography, music video shooting, and recording? What were some of the difficulties or hardships you faced, what did you discuss with the members, or what did you practice by yourself?

"Satisfaction graffiti" is a song where detailed accents and rhythms are important, so I listened to it many times and wrote a lot in my notebook before the day of recording, but I struggled with different nuances and different ways of putting accents. Many members said that this song was the most difficult. Both regarding the choreography and MV filming, the period between the choreography and the shooting was really short, and there were many changes made to the music video, so we tried our best to keep our heads working. I even watched the video until the few minutes before the start of the shoot. The speed of the choreography was really fast, and I managed to keep up with it, so I feel that I have really grown compared to when I first started.

-What do you think this song will mean to the group? What new thoughts, goals, or dreams have you developed through these songs?

I think this song "Satisfaction graffiti" is a song that will help spread WHITE SCORPION to many people. With lyrics that many people can relate to, a sound that makes you want to listen to it over and over again, and a striking and cool music video in black and white. I think that if there is a chance, this song will explode with popularity. We were given a really great song, and I will do my best to seize this opportunity. I want to let many people know about WHITE SCORPION and get closer to my dream of expanding overseas and performing in domes. I would also like to repay all the fans who have always supported us and stood by our side.

Song Review: WHITE SCORPION - "Hijoushudan"

On February 7, 2024, Japanese girl group WHITE SCORPION released its third single, “Hijoushudan.” After hearing the previous two singles, “Manazashi Sniper” and “Coyote ga Naiteiru,” I was interested in hearing what else the group has to offer. Musically, “Hijoushudan” is very upbeat and catchy. This very much sounds like the type of sound listeners associate with J-pop, and you can’t help but…

The ask you answered about Seaweed Cookie vs The World reminded me of Scott Pilgrim vs The World. So on that topic, who would be y/n cookie's seven evil exes that any cookie would have to battle to win y/n cookie's heart?

League of Evil Cookies

It was completely intentional with Scott Pilgrim Takes Off fresh on my mind. While not necessarily exes, these cookies would still be obstacles in Seaweed’s (or any cookie’s) goal of having a relationship with you.

Croissant Cookie would be incredibly confused, she thought you and her were getting along very well. It made her wonder if she shouldn’t have hesitated in making a move on you before you were scooped up by this literal who. Maybe she can get a certain keeper of time to help settle the score with this hurdle?

Pomegranate Cookie would be one of the more aggressive of the seven, insulted that this complete stranger in her eyes would just take you from her, she’d have such a bitter attitude towards them that it can be seen from a mile away. Pomegranate is dabbling into as much curses as she can to see what gets your partner out of the picture fast.

Those that smell the scent never leave alive and that especially applies to your partner when he comes after them. Lilac Cookie doesn’t think they’re capable of protecting you, seeing you hurt is something he doesn’t want to see in his lifetime. That might just occur if this…annoyance continued being your partner, so he’s taking matters into his own hands..

Kumiho Cookie is sensitive when it comes to any form of loving relationship development, given her history with you…she would up the charm and flirting antics with you as her attempt to swoon you over to her. She’s ignore your partner at first, seeing them as irrelevant. But when it was clear her tactics won’t work, she’s not afraid of an actual fight if that’s what it takes to bring you into her arms…

White Lily would have a heart attack if she learned of your recent relationship upgrade with this cookie she was not familiar with. It would crush her, the dreams she’s had of one day being wed to you are beginning to fall apart. She’s not going to risk a physical fight, she’s not exactly Hollyberry Cookie level strong. She’d rather use whatever she can get her Soul Jam to do instead…or just beat your partner to near death with her staff, anything to stop this relationship between you and them!

Scorpion Cookie isn’t going to be as brazen or obvious with her challenge to your partner once she’s made aware of their existence, something they will regret. Poisoning attempts or sneak attacks are possible forms of elimination Scorpion Cookie, which can change at any point during each attempt. Paranoia is another element Scorpion will bank on to eventually get your partner to leave you from fear, making comforting you her next plan..

Black Pearl Cookie would be the type to take the lead role of the League, your partner should VERY MUCH fear the water. She’d make every day and night a living hell for them, behaving nothing but nasty towards them until they leave you. Your partner should not even try to confront them, her power far exceeds theirs in every capacity, making it certain death if a face to face fight ever occurred. Oh? You’d think she’s above getting help to help deal with your partner? Well…let’s just say that she’ll even bring in some mercookie friends of hers to help rescue your pure soul from this filthy piece of dough that calls themselves your partner...

But there’s no need for you to worry about anything, she’s only vengeful towards that cookie unworthy of your love! Remember, White Pearl Cookie loves you so much!

AU WHERE EVERYTHING IS THE SAME EXCEPT SUBSCORP HAS THE UGLIEST CAT YOUVE EVER SEEN

[scorpion-flower]

The weird thing about Rachel Zegler playing Snow White, isn't her not being white. It's her talking as if she hates the older thing.

Also, someone please tell her (and Gal Gadot who also missed the memo) that falling in love doesn't make you any less of a powerful woman. Mulan fell in love, Tiana fell in love, Esmeralda fell in love. And they are feminist icons.

[princessfbi]

okey so i need some tv recs for this hiatus 911 fan overall procedure fans i guess that's all the vibe i can think of to ask lol so hit me with your recs

EXCELLENT! So glad you’ve come to me Nonnie. I am honored. This is in no particular order but in terms of general procedurals with similar 911 vibes I’ve got a couple:

1. Sirens

It’s about a paramedic team in Chicago and it’s fucking hilarious. We're talking laugh out loud can still quote it from memory hilarious. There’s two seasons and each episode is about 25 minutes so it’s easy to get through. There is a British counterpart that is also funny but it’s definitely a different tone for sure.

**If you were a fan of Arrow then you'll recognize Josh Segarra

***Also you can scream with me and @lucydonato about the show

2. ER

I always describe 911 to people as ER for first responders. Part of that is because it’s so episodic. It gets really melodramatic at times and there are a LOT of story lines but for the most part the general stakes keep to one episode at a time and the show gives you permission to let things go which is nice. I’m a fan of the earlier seasons as opposed to the later seasons but Angela Bassett is in the last season. Lots of great guest spots and very character driven.

**Characters do die in this show so be aware of MCD warnings. No one is safe in that show. Except maybe Noah Wylie but that's cus it's Noah Wylie.

3. Numb3rs

It’s an awesome crime procedural with a twist on it. The oldest brother, Don, is an FBI agent who has his baby brother, Charlie, help him solve crime using math. This show has all the tropes too. Brother relationship, found family, etc etc.

4. Psych

It’s a procedural with a much lighter tone. Shawn pretends to be psychic and solves crime. It’s chaotic and messy and wonderful and perfect.

**Gives me coming home from the pool and vegging on the couch summer vibes.

5. Castle

On the same side of the coin, it’s another procedural with a twist. Castle is a successful mystery novelist who helps solve crime. Nathan Fillion for those fans of The Rookie and there's a lot powerful female characters in it.

6. Murder, She Wrote

MSW walked so that Castle could run. This is an oldie but a good. Angela Lansbury is a mystery writer who solves crime. It’s super cool knowing that she insisted on hiring a lot of older guest stars so that they could continue to be in the union and get their benefits. Also omg the 80s/90s wardrobe. There's also a couple of episodes with other detectives and crime solvers when Angela started to get tired carrying the weight of quality television on her shoulders.

7. Drop Dead Diva

THIS is such a good law procedural. It has the added bonus as having the same casting director as 911 so you’ll see a lot of familiar faces. But Deb is a model who died and got reincarnated in the body of a plus size lawyer named Jane and it’s the most wonderful little nugget that just existed in its own space. It was SO ahead of it's time on certain issues and it deals with a variety of topics such as body shaming, slut shaming, mental health, etc in such a kind and compassionate and positive way.

**Gives me late summer 'I haven't moved from the couch and omg it's season three' vibes

8. Scorpion

A team of geniuses (with neurodivergent representation in action genre scenarios) who help solve crime and crisis situations for homeland security. Lots of found family feelings! SO MANY! Big time character driven show.

9. White Collar

A white collar criminal agrees to help solve crime with the FBI agent who arrested him. Neal is so whumpable and it's one of the few times I've seen a fandom really embrace the idea of a poly relationship in fanon? Idk I wasn't really in it but the fics I saw all seemed to agree that no one would complain if Peter, Neal, and Elizabeth all lived happily ever after with their golden retriever. NOW, I will say this is a Jeff Eastin show and he has a tendency to take the amazing female characters in the show, throw them in a blender, and then bring them back as Frankenstein's monster bride and act like he didn't just ruin their character and it drives me fucking insane. BUT those first couple of seasons are fantastic.

Still about Netflix's The Monkey King

I wonder how many people noticed that, during the 2D sequence where we got an accelerated vision of the 98 other demons Monkey King beat up, there were TONS of visual references to the actual demons that appeared in the novel?

Just by seeing the scene one time I could notice the White Bone Demon, the Scorpion Demoness, the Bull Demon King, one of the Spider Demons sisters, and the Hundred-Eye Demon Lord. Those I am certain of - I also vaguely remember seeing a bear during the sequence, though I am not sure, but if there is indeed a bear, it means that the Black Wind Demon is also part of the list.

Song Review: WHITE SCORPION - "Coyote ga Naiteiru"

On January 7, 2024, the Japanese girl group WHITE SCORPION released its second single, “Coyote ga Naiteiru.” After hearing their first single, “Manazashi Sniper,” I was interested in checking out another song from the group. Musically, I would say that “Coyote ga Naiteiru” is more “pop” leaning than “Manazashi Sniper” was. That’s not to say that “Manazashi Sniper” isn’t a pop song, it’s just that…

The opening to Absolute Carnage vs Deadpool is so freakin funny, I want a print of that J. Jonah Jameson panel.
