"he just has those vibes ya know?"
Mafuyu -
"Mafuyu is a depressed gay autistic musician who often spaces out, takes everything literally, is introverted and has trouble connecting to others, doesn't like carbonated drinks due to the texture, expresses his affection by nuzzling, and he used to line his toys up in a row!"

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!
