The Current Vibe post-Ep. 2 of Buddy Daddies

[seekers-who-are-lovers]

Volume 2 features landscapes on episodes 3 and 4. Kazuki and Miri walking along the Naka Riverbank. It includes the first CD drama episode about Kazuki and Rei’s first meeting courtesy of Kyutaro. (—>> Part 2)

[Rei ran away from the organisation and then the hotel staff after finding out that his credit card was rendered “unusable.” [Probably because of his father.] He was homeless for a while and able to dodge a kidnapping/murder from other syndicate members [Something to do with ransom money, Rei as the hunted?]. Then Kazuki appeared per Kyutaro’s order. [It was, according to Kyu, K’s “last chance.”] K and Rei fought until the latter passed out because of hunger. Kazuki brought Rei food, who couldn’t guess what he was eating … In the end they introduced themselves like we heard them in the beginning. Kazuki: “Nice to meet you, Hikikomori”; in which Rei replied: “Nice to meet you too, Couch-crasher.” {Take note of the background graphics, I am seeing blueprints/stamps of musical notes, checkered sheets, French dictionary highlighting entries on philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau }Waiting for @marcarella-pizza’s translation if some of my hunches are correct.]

Here is Volume 1

New Interview with Kazuki and Rei’s Japanese VAs: “The ending was unexpected.”

The Week 10 Interview went up on the Buddy Daddies website today. It was an interview with Kazuki and Rei’s Japanese VAs. I’ll link to the full interview below, but here are some some parts from it that I personally found the most interesting.

Rei’s VA notes that “buddy relationship” is basis for the series, but since Miri’s been there from the start, there is more of a trio focus. So the story is essentially about these two buddies who are wrapped around Miri’s finger.

Kazuki’s VA talks about how the series’ composition of having Rei and Kazuki, these two hitmen with past trauma and without normal childhood experiences, being wrapped around the finger of Miri, who is this innocent child, allows for both a lot of “fish out of water” moments, as well as drama. He thinks that there is a really great balance between the three of their characters. 

Another thing he mentions is how his character can be very aggressive sometimes, so he seems to push around Rei (he uses the same term here that they both used for Miri, and which is used in the BD’s Opening song, which is 振り回される (furimawasareru) and was translated to “wrapped around my finger”). Because of this, he will always apologize to Uchiyama (Rei’s VA), lol.

 Rei’s VA is like that’s no big deal and thinks that Rei being pushed around, dragged around, etc. by Kazuki’s character was quite interesting and funny.

The interviewer asked them about the final act that is coming up, and they mention how Kazuki and Rei’s backstories came to light in Episodes 7 and 8, and that their feelings for Miri have united, become one, but that there are things that mustn’t be forgotten, and that those will come to light in Episode 10. 

Basically, this is when we are going to see Ryo really getting involved and the question of what will really happen to Miri be questioned. What will the two of them actually do about Miri and whether the relationship between the three of them should really remain as it is. 

Kazuki’s VA also mentions that one of the keys to the story will be the relationship with the person who Miri is still related to by blood (aka Misaki, her mother). 

While Rei’s VA notes that there are some intense developments and that he is very curious about what viewer’s reactions to the story will be. Noting that Buddy Daddies has a very unique style in depicting a story with some tough elements to it. So the tone of the series had been different to what it is, even if the plotline had been similar, the angle or approach to it would be different.

As for the ending...Kazuki’s VA mentions that he might think about what Director Asai wanted to convey with his work, and Rei’s VA found the ending to be quite unexpected. 

Kazuki’s VA is also interested in seeing how viewers will react. He thinks that there will be some who are realists and even though this is an anime, they will say, “This is the way it would be in real life.” For those people, “Fact is stranger than fiction” and the end of the series will make you question things like that and “Isn’t this what real life is like?”

Rei’s VA notes that, once you take out the "pseudo-family” aspect, the series as a whole can have quite a dark atmosphere about it. 

No matter what though, they are quite certain that viewers will be surprised by the ending and they hope we enjoy the remaining episodes!

“Good stuff.”

I really want this on my blog. I would like to have what Rei has. Also, I love the way he exhales and holds his cigarette here. He’s almost enjoying the whole free time until Kazuki drags him again to pick Miri up. Moreover, I find Kazuki rocks the red jacket and trousers combo.

It is also an indication that Kazuki and Rei go for drinks. That means, they used to hang out a lot. Like friends would do. After mission.

Also, I am intrigued what Kyu-chan likes for music. Classical, mostly.

Also, I am so dumb that I only noticed it recently that Rei wore white scrunchie to match his suit.

[lilyginnyblackv2]

Ahhhh! They released a music video!

It’s of the lofi version of “My Plan” (the Buddy Daddies ED that is originally sung by DURDN). This lofi version is sung by Kazuki and Rei’s Japanese VAs and the music video is made up of scenes from Buddy Daddies! My heart! ❤️😭❤️

It’s only 6 in the morning where I live, and this already has me crying!  😭 ❤️

Pash Plus Interview TRANSLATION – Momochi (Toshiyuki Toyonaga) Evolve + Raving Beats

disclaimer: this is 90% AI-generated transcription and translation, some things might be inaccurate or awkward.

豊永利行さん『ディア▼ヴォーカリスト Evolve』収録後インタビュー到着「今回もモモチくんと貴女の関係性は凄いことになっていきます」

豊永利行『ディアヴォーカリスト』アルバム発売記念インタビュー「スリルある体験を、モモチくんで感じていただけたら幸いです♪」

2019.11.20 <PASH! PLUS>

An interview with Toshiyuki Toyonaga, following the recording of "Dear Vocalist Evolve".

q: While this is the 5th drama CD featuring the character, were there any new discoveries about the character or scenes/lines of dialogue that made you think they had evolved?

a: With Momochi-kun, that’s always the case, but the process of his evolution and the results are surprising… or how should I put it, they often go beyond what is normal.

Rather than pinpointing specific moments, it's more like, throughout the whole thing, you're left with a feeling of "ehhh... this is how it ends up???”.

q: Regarding the new song, please give your thoughts. (Were there any lyrics or melodies that you found appealing or touching? Any points to recommend or highlights to listen for?)

a: It might sound like a return to the roots, but personally, I wondered what exactly those 'roots' are. That was the impression I got from the song. "Guren Shinjuu" is just... exhausting, you know (laughs). And as for "V", well... considering Momochi's state of mind, I can't listen to it as an upbeat song with a clear conscience (laughs).

q: Lastly, please give a message to the readers.

a: This time too, the relationship between you and Momochi-kun will become even more amazing. However, for those who have been following the drama so far, won’t new sensations or emotions start to arise? Will it be something that can be dismissed with "it can't be helped"? Is that feeling one of "sympathy"? Or is it "empathy"? It might be a work that measures your heart. Enjoy it ♪

The first band album series "Raving Beats!!!" by Dear Vocalist, which celebrated its 5th anniversary in August 2020, has been decided for release. Unlike the previous joint best album series "Rock Out!!!" featuring all bands, this series will release albums separately for each band.

q: Please share your thoughts on the new song this time. Also, as this is the first band album series, please give us your thoughts on that as well.

a: Somehow, when it’s a Veronica-only album, you can really see Momochi's emotions clearly… or rather, at this point, isn’t he like a child who is easy to understand? (laughs)

The selection of songs was decided by Cheers' votes, so it became a very meaningful album that shows what Cheers are looking for.

I hope Momo-chan will use it as reference for making future songs ♪

The new songs are definitely daring, with three songs that are bitter, poignant, deceitful, sad, but you can feel the soul in them.

q: “Dear♥︎Vocalist" celebrated its 5th anniversary in August 2020. If there was anything that left an impression on you so far, or if you have any expectations for future developments, please let us know.

a: As for things that left an impression… well, there have been a lot of shocking things (laughs).

I feel like there might not be anyone that fits the phrase “I get anxious when I’m treated kindly" as well as this character does.

I think he is a very aggressive character in our day and age, and I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to play him for five years.

While I realize that there are people who have critical opinions about characters like Momochi, on the other hand, I think playing such a character is a great honor for an actor… and if you look at the world as a whole, there are people like him out there, right? I think it also broadens our perspective to acknowledge that. So personally, I want to support him and be there for him.

q: Finally, could you please give a message to our readers?

a: Momochi-kun has been exposing his true colors as a scumbag more and more, but in a way, I think of him as "Mr. Rejet!" (laughs). I have no intention of increasing or encouraging unreasonable people like him in the world, but it's strange how we can feel a kind of magical attraction to him... Maybe it's just one of the mysterious aspects of human nature. To everyone that loves Momochi, I hope you can continue to experience thrilling experiences through Momochi-kun that wouldn’t happen in the real world, and would be a huge deal if they did♪
