also holy shit the A//RB SSM songs are remix of the original solo and so far i’ve liked all of them. I didn’t get too much in Sa//matoki’s (but it’s also because his beatmap comes from hell itself) but the other ones were all hit with me. And i’m famously really really easy on hpm’s songs. 

But holy shit i genuinely dislike this one. What did they do to existential-crisis gothic atmosphere Jak//urai. What the fuck is this guitar intro. the music doesn’t fit the vibes of the vocals and lyrics at ALL i’m going insane

why did they even stop going hard with Ja//kurai’s songs anyway. I like Ma//tenro’s s2 songs and stuff but i genuinely miss s1′s darker aesthetic they had, ESPECIALLY Ja//kurai. 

in season 1 it was like, the tortured ex-hitman thing it was deep and dark and powerful and now he’s just “anyway depression is healed i’m fine now” cool get worse again please i'm missing the vibe so much please

but still s2 songs are nice anyway, but this??? i’m drawing the line 😭

shit gbf and arb put themselves on synch to have events going on at the same time that demand the same amount of attention and i genuinely can’t two time them i’m going insane

the base rotb raids take me one shot max, and i need to do a lot of them to unlock the raids that are longer in general, and i don’t have enough to host Shenxian. I can’t jump into any stray Shenxian because they’re too quick to end, rotb is usually one quick bub summon per raid, and jump on the next one. So it’s really, really quick, like 30s, and repetitive long session of grinding

.... and arb has a ssm on again. I explained a bit ago but it’s basically “gotta play as many songs as possible to trigger a randomly generated limited song that you have to play under 10mins”. So it means, i have to have my hands on my phone at all time, for songs that are about 2mins long each. 

I genuinely can’t do both at once.

during the previous ssm it was during gw and during dread barrage, so in both time i could just put myself in the HL raid and put myself on FA while i played songs, it was nice like that

ROTB is the one gbf event i can’t two time ssm on.

except i really want ROTB’s new skin AND i can’t let SSM go because if i don’t get the new song now, i’ll have to grind for it the next time at the same time as the next song, and i’ve done that once, i’m nEVER doing that again that’s the devil speaking it’s hell.

It fucking sucksss why are gacha against me today

[icharchivist]

oh no there’s a melody of Tragic Transistor that reminds me of Thrift Shop by Maklemore I hate it DLKFJDKFJDLKFJDFLKJD

it doesn’t last long, it’s just a couple of second but it suddenly flashed in my mind and it’s a hilarious contrast considering Sasara keeps bragging about only having the most expensive stuff, “Osaka how much money you make?” and caviar and expensive suits 

and i end up thinking about fucking Thrift Shop out of ALL SONGS.

[icharchivist]

fck i didnt listen to hpm in a long time and the day i play my playlist again to celebrate MTC month it litterally started Stella right after that, i will never know peace

[icharchivist]

me ever since people started to talk about the content of the DHP’s drama track

[icharchivist]

Hypmic: Sasara is coming back as a leader for an antagonistic Division!

Us: oh no, he’s been scorned by Samatoki and now he’s back for revenge against him because he must be hurt, and he comes with his bestfriend Rosho and the conman he found to go against him-

Hypmic: Actually he accepted to join the Division Battle because it paid well and his boyfriend Rosho had money problems so he asked him to join his division so Rosho wouldn’t have to do multiple part time jobs, also so they can be together again after Rosho left him thinking he was a deadweight for Sasara and they parted both thinking it was for the best interest of the other despite only ever wanting to be by each other’s side but now with the division they have an excuse to stand side by side again because Sasara never could see himself with anyone else but Rosho, also Sasara has the keys to Rosho’s flat and he comes visit out of the blue and Rosho remembers every single details about Sasara, and the conman tried to con them but Rosho punched him and now they’re in a band together.

Us:

Us: OKAY.

shit ppl are liveblogging the live but i was thinking i’ll go grab a coffee and post a letter since it’s been going pretty slowly and all, but JUST NOW they’re doing the announcements so this is right the moment to pay attention nuoo i was about to leaaaaaaave

well i mean they can’t fuck us up more than announcing a full division made of familiar faces right? should be fine

[icharchivist]

It took One Hour after the Osaka Division reveal for everyone to jump into the “Rei is the BB’s father” train, how we’re doing in this chilly night

Okay I wanted to put all the translation reactions in one post but i can’t there, so translation credit there but

This scaringly align with absolutly all my HCs about Gentaro’s bounds with the government and i’m absolutly terrified of how spot on that is????

“A literary master creates the image of a madman” > To expose himself as a liar and unreliable he can therefore end up exposing the truth because the gov could go “easier” on him, after all people wouldn’t know if it’s fiction or truth right? “It’s amazing what we can explore with fiction” his spy of an editor said when Gentaro wrote about the child traffickig.

And “This stage that spreads propaganda as if on printing paper”?????? Legit my reading specifically of the gov is that it is currently capitalizing on the rap battles so people wouldn’t be focusing on how the original band COULD dismantle the government. Which is propaganda to make sure people trust the gov.

“Litterature means cutting off one’s nose to spite their face” 

DUDE but again: We know Gentaro wrote stuff bringing down the gov in FICTIONS: The child  trafficking stories, Stella’s reading on the gov Dice runs away from is based on Chuuoku, and "how history had been hypnotized by those in powers so people remain trapped by their social status”? Like again, this line talks again about the fact the gov is litterally doing propaganda. 

But he IS litterally using his litterature to try to bring attention to it, using the fact he’s unreliable to try to expose the gov????

Like at least?? this scaringly allign with what had been my reading of Gentaro’s motives specifically with how the gov is watching him and how he seems to Know Stuff, but ????

Am i hallucinating this makes sense right?? 

Dude Gentaro came from having some of the vaguest lines about “entering your brains to leave damages” or some stuff about his past, but here he goes full on “VIVA LA REVOLUTION MOTHERFUCKER” we stan a legend

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUC FUCK FUC K 

[icharchivist]

FP’s new album will be out at the end of February, a bit after Ramuda’s birthday. Gremlin’s rights.

[icharchivist]

so this is one of the big Peak Dumbass Gentaro moments and i’m still laughing so hard at this one. Oh Gentaro. You’re so dumb.

I love that he calls Dice a weirdo in this considering it’s set after Dice said he’d “never be in love with a weirdo like him”. Petty much? 

Also *coughs* knowing Gentaro ended up buying dinner to Dice that very evening... dumbasses......

Translation of audio under the cut, full translation there

[Gentaro claps]

Gentaro: As expected of the famously rumored former The Dirty Dawg member, MC Big Brother. Ah, forgive me for not introducing myself earlier. I am Arisugawa Dice, a shameless gambler.

Ramuda: Ahahaha! ✩

Saburo: What are you talking about? You’re Yumeno Gentaro, aren’t you?

Gentaro: Wait, Yumeno Gentaro? I’m unfamiliar with that name. As I said earlier, I’m the weirdo gambler, Arisugawa Dice. Therefore, please to make your acquaintan–ow!

[Dice smacks Gentaro]

Dice: Who’re you callin’ a weirdo?!

Gentaro: Ha ha! This is Dice. What has you so upset?

Dice: Don’t just go around calling people weirdos!

Gentaro: Haa, certainly calling myself Dice was a lie, but you being a weirdo is true.

Dice: Da-damn you, every single time I forgive you, but I won’t forgive you today!

Old man Gentaro: Today, I was planning a feast for dinner, but if you’re so upset at me then you will not be eating with me. Such a shame that such a fine meal–

Dice: Huh? Who’s mad? We’re best friends.

Gentaro: Well, the feast was a lie.

Dice: Go to hell!!!

Ramuda: Ahaha! ♡ You two get along so well!

Saburo: Wh-what’s with these guys…

Ichiro: Ramuda, you’ve got some interesting teammates there.

Ramuda: I know, right? This posse is my pride!

they are SO DUMB i LOVE THEM

“I say Badass, you say Temple!!”

anyway i have the full BAT’s songs now, i was right it would become one of my fav division quickly shit.

A bit too distracted for a full thought on it, let it be clear too though that Jyushi’s song is legit already in my top 5 fav song holy fuck i love it.

and i’m crying bc he mentions his stuffed pig Amanda multiple times in the chorus and i’m absolutly crYING i LOVE HIM and he sINGS SO WELL i LOVE HIS SONG 

Kuko sounds absolutly fantastic and i love the vibe, Hitoya sounds super nice, and Funky Sounds Full is SO GOOD but yeah call me a basic bitch bc i’m joining everyone who loves Jyushi. The one thing i didn’t want happening to me but well too late to turn back huh.

[icharchivist]

The Jyushi’s preview lad........... I adopted him. That’s it. That’s already it. He’s already my son and no one can do anything about it.
