#BoU Unit R MV Release Celebration: Mission BINGO
All BINGO is cleared!
As a celebration for the BINGO clear, the official account just released "Direct Interview to the Artists Report."
Here's a translation!
Tell us the inside story of your new song's production!
Kanata Yatonokami: "I made it while being angry as hell, thinking I'll definitely crush the other teams under our feet."
Suiseki Iori: "Everyone were hella flarin' and fired up, the song finished in a flash. The bathhouse we went to after finishin' it felt suuuper good. All of us downed fruit milk like it was a cup of sake!"
Yamato Shogo: "We were quite struggling and even threw out many songs. When we were at our wit's end, reaching a standstill, we went on a drive together to refresh, and during that time, the highway at sunset became a hint for us!"
Yeon Dongha: "I acquired inspiration from the play I was invited to watch. Right now, AMPRULE is without a doubt in the turning point of our development*. Is it not the best song to rise the curtain of our new chapter?"
*) 起承転結 (kishotenketsu) is how novels or texts are usually configurated. It means, the start, the development, the turning point, and the end.

REBELLION -Akan Yatsura is still Burning- Composer:LOWEND ORDER Lyrics:心之助&Mt' from WAYZ Arrangement:LOWEND ORDER
We're back again, rise again (rise again) We'll settle the score, we'll get you back (Yo Yo) We're thrillingly dangerous (dangerous) Careful behind you, watch your back (You know how we do) Revenge, Reverse still burning Still burning, We're still burning Revenge, reverse still burning Still burning, Don't miss it
This fight's started a long time ago Settling the scores left that day, that time Raise the beacon, trick and traps, the back's underhanded Boiling hot vibes, thoroughly enjoying the gimlet Whirling round and round, give me give me mic The fire lit under me, increases day by day [1] This game's prize's our breakfast budget [2] After getting that, we stand at the startline
Jump outta the Pandora Ta-da-daah! Ready to go, extended magazine goes bang bang Outspokenly, talk about the night before carrying out the plan The time has come, the devil has awakened (We just bad boys!!) Time to make our dreams come true (Outsiderz!!) It's fine if this voice could reach Putting together determination Through the rift in clouds, it's shining, now Rest in peace
"Are you reluctant now that you've come this far?" I wont even start if I'd quit at the last moment "Would you move forward, even if it's a thorny path?" Adversity fits us, don'tcha think? "Would you persist with your beliefs?" This is fortitude, I wont ever yield "Hey, big bro, will you end like this?" No way, we'll exceed the borderline
We're back again, rise again We'll settle the score, we'll get you back We're thrillingly dangerous Careful behind you, watch your back
We're back again, rise again (rise again) We'll settle the score, we'll get you back (Yo Yo) We're thrillingly dangerous (dangerous) Careful behind you, watch your back (You know how we do) Revenge, Reverse still burning Still burning, We're still burning Revenge, reverse still burning Still burning, Don't miss it
Notes
[1] Fire lit under me - to be pressed on time / to have your pants lit on fire
[2] Prize as in monetary prize.
This took me ages!!! But this is a super bop. I think after this I’ll move to the other site, after I clean it up and make it look prettier.

Some kinda letter thing, ish.
Hi everyone!
As you all know - recently I've been very inactive in both Twitter and Tumblr and literally everywhere else in the internet.
Actually, I've been having lots of issues irl (it's just a battle with my own self, to be honest), and I'm now trying to get back to my usual rhythm. This pandemic takes a toll on me so much more than I'd expected (since I'm usually a very social person, always out talking with people); I'm still in the middle of trying to re-find myself and other things - and in the midst of that, I choose to not stress myself over social media and private messages that I've left for so long.
I'm really sorry for people who had messaged me multiple times. I don't know when I'd be able to answer (notifications stress me out a lot so I don't even have anything apart from essentials on my phone right now) - but I'm trying my best.
As for my translations, I'm thinking of moving somewhere else that gives me more space and better archival - that sort of thing. I'll put up a link later when I'm done sorting that one out, and start translating on my usual pace. For Twitter I'd probably get a boring account for announcements only until I feel back in shape for more social media action.
Lastly, thank you very much for everyone for always being kind to me and reading my translations. From now on too, please treat me well.

Back off / cozmez (short ver.)

Back Off Composer:S-kit,Sylo Lyrics:GASHIMA Arrangement:GROUND-LINE
Back off (aye)
We, always exceeding high and low Megavolume erasin' that nonsense I don't know any other way of life Not half-hearted, microphone for survival
I'm in the zone, sharp flow Make way, now Music isn't just a show, it's a battle of life and death Ain't listenin' to your boring talk Haters lookin' down, begone now Ain't matter who's challenging us, we're the dopest
Rap game we can't lose Take the top, and pop a champagne We'll steal the money & fame Grasp the banknote rolls, make it rain
Like this, no way out If we're aimin' something, aim all the way up For all the things stolen, get our payback [1] Get outta this life now, aye [2]
This road we take, the enemies we kicked down We can’t erase our past wounds Yet this day dream wont lose its vividness We’re never looking back, come on now, we gotta go
The top we’re always aimin’ for, that’s our place to be This town we're born in, our battlefield (Woo) Let's go, tell me what you waiting for? (Woo) Let's go, tell me what you waiting for?
Aye aye aye Just like this, to the top Aye aye aye Not enough, never stop
Notes
[1] As in we're (always) getting stuff stolen from us up until now, so it's payback time.
[2] Life, as in poverty.

Life is Beautiful / The Cat’s Whiskers (short ver.)
youtube
Life Is Beautiful Composer:藤本和則 Lyrics:SIMON Arrangement:Kazunori Fujimoto
TCW in the building take it back!!
Carry out our original intentions even through hardships Spin the collection of fragments of history The strength held by words are semi permanent A moment's fad is nonsense Let's accomplish it, the herculean task We'll return your dis with love The boughs that bear most hang lowest The wind breezes again, from the water's surface
Ain't it okay to just enjoy whatever situation? Ryuu-kun appears, give me the light Your style has no class There's no meaning to coreless things Keep it real, I'm always ready Whatever you tell me to do, 'course always do it perfectly A misfit, probably crazy? But I know best, the one certain thing
Hey life is beautiful (2x) The truth are polished as much as there are dirty things Hey life is beautiful (2x) Don't lower your eyes It's our turn
Make it clap Make it clap Everybody just make it make it clap Make it clap Make it clap
Make it clap Make it clap Everybody just make it make it clap Make it clap Make it clap
TCW in the building take it back!!

cozmez x Akan Yatsura / “FAMILY” voice drama track 2
Part 1 | Listen through Spotify.
Reo: And? You woke up this morning and he's gone? Aren't you overreacting~?
Hokusai: It's still only afternoon...
Satsuki: Ain't he just gone to the convenience store or something? And went to the game center when he's at itー
Kanata: Haah!?
Satsuki: Don't get riled up at that!
Kanata: Nayuta won't ever do something like that! He's never went out without saying anything to me... and I can't get a hold of him too...
Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai: ...
Iori: D'ya have... an idea as to why he disappeared?
Zen: Waka...!
Kanata: Last night, we had a fight...
Satsuki: What the heck, so it was a fight.
Reo: Aah, so maybe 'cause of that he felt it hard to see you face to face? I know that feel, you guys are siblings after all!
Hokusai: Really...?
Zen: What did you guys fought about? If it's alright with you, would you please tell us?
Kanata: He told me... to go out. He told me to go out more, and meet more people. He said that'd make me stronger.
Zen: I see.
Kanata: But I don't need that...! I only need Nayuta. Even so, he...
Iori: But it doesn't seem like s'all it was.
Kanata: ...!
Iori: To ask for my help 'til ya bow yer head, something ya've never done, means there's 'nother reason, right?
Kanata: Sometime ago, right at the time we got the Paradox Live invitation, I was attacked in town. There were three of them, punks targeting my phantometal.
AKYR: Oh...
Kanata: 'Cause they were trying to lay their hands on Nayuta, I beat them to a pulp.
Satsuki: Seriously!? You're kinda strong even though you're lanky, huh!
Reo: Monkey, you're noisy.
Hokusai: Kanata, what happened next?
Kanata: That time, they probably remembered my face. If they found Nayuta when he's alone...!
Reo: You guys have the same face, so if they misunderstood, it wont be pretty...
Hokusai: Dangerous...!
Zen: I see. So that's why you came to our place.
Kanata: This kind of thing... I know that I'm not in the place to rely on you, but...!
Iori: Aight! We should help each other in times of need. Got it, y'all?
Satsuki: Yeah!
Reo: Can't be helped~! I'll help you.
Hokusai: I'll find Nayuta. I'm good at finding lost cats.
Zen: Then, let's immediately divide the work. Waka and I will stand by here. We'll gather information. Everyone else go out to town, and search.
Iori: Ooh~! Ya look the part, don'tcha, Zen~! Ya look like those police detectives on TV dramas!
Zen: Please don't poke fun at me.
Iori: OK. Sorry.
Zen: Cough. Just in case, the search team is to move in groups of two. Decide the assignment of area and get in contact as appropriate.
Reo: OK~! Then, I'm grouping with Hokusai~
Hokusai: Understood.
Satsuki: Then, Kanata's with me.
Kanata: Y-yeah...
Satsuki: Be at ease! With this Gaia-sama, fearful enough to silence a crying child, we'll find one, even two little brothers in no time!
Kanata: Y-yeah...
Zen: If something happens, immediately get in touch and wait for reinforcement. Don't force yourselves.
Reo: Roger!
Iori: Aight, let's go all out!
Everyone: Yeah!!
_
(Sounds of train passing.)
Reo: Aah, I'm tired~~! Jeez~ We've been walking around all day, my legs feel like lead!
Satsuki: You've got no stamina at all.
Reo: I mean, to top it off, Hokusai tried to ask cats...
Hokusai: If only I can speak cat language...
Reo: Kanata, how's it on your end?
Kanata: We've got nothing. We couldn't trace his steps after he got out of the apartment...
(Hokusai picks up a call.)
Hokusai: Yeah... yeah... understood.
(Hokusai hangs up.)
Hokusai: From Zen... he said they didn't get any leads too.
Reo: Eeeeeh, seriousyl!? Zen-nii's an ex-police detective but he's no good at all!
Satsuki: Don't diss Zen-nii!
Hokusai: This area isn't Big Bro's territory, so...
Satsuki: But like, it's impossible to look around this much and get nothing at all.
Reo: Siiiiigh. Then, what do we do from now on?
Satsuki: We've got choice but to continue, don't we?
Hokusai: Yeah...
(Sounds of train passing.)
(Kanata stops walking.)
Kanata: Enough already.
Satsuki: Eh?
Kanata: Enough already. I'll search by myself from now.
Reo: Haa? What the heck are you saying?
Kanata: I said, I'll go search for him by myself. You guys don't have to do anything else. Sorry for getting you all mixed into this.
Satsuki: You...!!
(Satsuki grabs Kanata by the shirt.)
Satsuki: Don't look down on our chivalry!! [1] Nayuta is your family, ain't he!? Big Bro acknowledged that and agreed to help you. Just because we searched a little and couldn't find him, there's no way we'd just say 'yes, okay' and run with tails between our legs!
Reo: He's your one and only important little brother, isn't he!
Hokusai: We'll definitely... find him.
Kanata: Eh... but...
Satsuki: No fuckin' 'buts'!! You were searching desperately, lookin' like you're gonna die, didn't you? You got us in this far, don't pretend to be tough now!!
Reo: That's right, that's right! At times like this, you should just meekly depend on us! Right, Hokusai?
Hokusai: Yeah, that's right. It's okay to depend on us.
Kanata: ...
Reo: Hey... when you came to our place, you said you investigated the Suiseki group, right?
Kanata: Yeah...
Reo: Then, you knew about the raid, didn't you?
Kanata: Yeah, just the gist of it. I heard that in just one night, the group got utterly annihilated by something.
Reo: ...would've died.
Kanata: Eh?
Reo: Me... Satsuki, and Hokusai, too. That time, if our timing shifted even a second, all of us would've died.
Kanata: ...!
Reo: A deep red sea of blood... everyone died. I couldn't save anyone. Not the boss, not my comrades...
(Sound of crows cawing.)
Reo: That's why, at that time, I swore. That I wont lose my comrades, my family, ever again.
Satsuki: ...We're family.
Kanata: Family...
Satsuki: Yeah. For ordinary people, we might just be thugs, but for us, we're family. I was always like this since I was little. I get into fights quickly, and I can't study at all. Both my parents and my teachers all gave up on me - I didn't even go to elementary school properly.
Reo: Haha. Satsuki-chan's completely an elementary school graduate, after all.
Satsuki: Shut up. Everyday, everyday, I'm always pissed. If I hit others, they'd get scared. I feel refreshed, and thought I'd rise up with these fists. At that time, Big Bro took me in. Big Bro and my comrades taught me, who was abandoned by my parents because they thought I was uncontrollable - How to use chopsticks, how to eat fish, greetings, manners, and the right way to fight... patiently, they taught me, again and again, without ever giving up. Thats why I decided that they are my family. I don't care what others say. No matter how useless they are, I won't abandon them. That's what family is.
Reo: ...Me, too. I chose my own family. My blood related family has... how to say it? Broken up, and I haven't seen them for years. I don't want to see them, either. But it's not like I hate them or anything. Papa taught me hip hop, and Mama... see, she gave me this cute face, after all.
Satsuki: You gonna say that yourself?
Reo: But you see, my family... all thought that they're the most important. They make debts that Papa couldn't pay back, lots of things happened, and my family broke up. Aha, pathetic, right?
Hokusai: Reo...
Reo: Yeah.
Hokusai: There, there.
(Hokusai pats Reo's head.)
Reo: Haha, Hokusai's so nice... Unlike a certain shitty monkey.
Satsuki: Who the fuck would pat your head, disgusting!
Hokusai: Me, too. My father is in prison. We probably won't ever meet each other outside anymore, for life.
Kanata: Eh?
Hokusai: I'm the son of a criminal. When everyone knew of it, they all left me. Only animals don't look at me with rose-colored glasses. They always stay by my side. But, Big Bro and the others were different. They treat me as Masaki Hokusai, as a different person than my father. They told me to raise my head when we walk together. To them, I'm not a shameful person, because we're family.
Kanata: Family...
Satsuki: Yeah. We're not related by blood, though.
Reo: We didn't have any other choice but to choose our own family. But, Kanata, you have Nayuta, right?
Hokusai: You have to protect... your important family.
Satsuki: Yeah! Don't look down on elementary school graduate!
Reo: Waah~ how embarrasing!
Hokusai: Fufu...
Satsuki: Wh--, Hokusai, you too?
Nayuta: Kanata?
Kanata: ...! Nayuta!!
Nayuta: What are you doing in a place like that?
Kanata: What, you ask--
Satsuki: More importantly, where'd you appear from suddenly!?
Nayuta: Kanata... these guys are Akan Yatsura's...? What are you doing together?
Kanata: You idiot! We were looking for you!!
Nayuta: Eh? "Looking"?
Kanata: Where were you all this time!?
Nayuta: Where, you ask... um, I couldn't think of a good lyric, so I went out for a walk, and then I got lost, and I was tired so I took a nap somewhere, then... What did I do next?
Satsuki: Are you a stray cat!?
Hokusai: As I thought, I have to learn cat language...
Nayuta: Haha, what? What is it? Kanata, too, making such a scary face.
Kanata: Stop messing around! How worried did you think I was!!?
Nayuta: Eh?
Kanata: Saying "go by yourself", and disappearing...
Nayuta: Eh? What?
Reo: Kanata was worried that you got kidnapped by some punks.
Satsuki: He even bowed his head to us.
Hokusai: And searched for you desperately, you know?
Nayuta: Ooh... Seriously?
Kanata: Yeah...
Nayuta: No way... but...
Kanata: Quietly disappearing like that... I won't forgive you.
Nayuta: Kanata...
Kanata: I don't have anyone else but Nayuta. Nayuta's my only family. That's why, that's why... don't ever quietly disappear... don't ever...
Nayuta: Kanata... It's okay. I'm by your side. Always, whenever, I'm always by Kanata's side.
_
(Sounds of them walking.)
Kanata: ...Sorry. I got you all to walk around a full day and you guys even treated us to food.
Reo: It's okay, it's okay. We put the tab on Big Bro, after all!
Satsuki: Raimen-tei's soo yummy, right!? Honestly, I thought that cozmez's detestable bastards with cocky music and attitude, but we actually get along, don't we?
Hokusai: Haha. Then, we'll part here.
Reo: Starting from now on, we're rivals, okay?
Satsuki: Don't get into a fight, 'kay!?
Kanata: U-uhm!
Reo: Yeah?
Kanata: If, if you guys were lied to by Suise-- no, your family, what will you do?
Reo: Lie?
Kanata: Yeah. If kept an important thing secret.
Satsuki: Ha? That's no big deal, ain't it? Even though we're family, we'd still have one or two secrets we can't say.
Reo: Like the place where Satsuki-chan hides his favorite erotic magazines~
Satsuki: HAA!?
Reo: On the floor below the closet, it's obvious!
Satsuki: You bastard-
Kanata: Not something like that! For example, if it has something to do with your lives...
Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai: ...
Hokusai: Even so... no, if so, I'd believe them.
Kanata: Believe?
Hokusai: If so, it's kept a secret to protect us. A lie to protect your family. I won't doubt it.
Kanata: ...!
Satsuki: Yeah, that's right! I'm satisfied if I had to put my life on the line for Big Bro.
Reo: Me too, when I decided to follow Big Bro, I've prepared myself, after all.
Satsuki: Right? Don't look down on our chivalry!
Hokusai: Yeah.
Reo: Well, that's that, so...
Satsuki: See ya! The next time we meet, it'd be on the stage.
Hokusai: We won't lose.
Reo: Prepare yourselves, okay~?
(Satsuki, Reo & Hokusai walks away.)
Kanata: Ah.
Nayuta: What's wrong, Kanata?
Kanata: I missed the chance to say thank you to them.
Nayuta: Hahaha...
Kanata: What?
Nayuta: You made friends.
Kanata: Ha!?
Nayuta: It means, you have people other than me that you'd say 'thank you' to.
Kanata: That's...
Nayuta: Kanata. Kanata, you can change. You can get more, way stronger than you are now.
Kanata: That's why I said that's...
Nayuta: I'm with you. "If the two of us are together, we're the strongest", right?
Kanata: ...Yeah. If the two of us are together, we're the strongest.
_
Iori: That so? Good that y'all managed to find him. Yeah, good job.
(Iori hangs up.)
Zen: Did they find Nayuta-kun?
Iori: Yeah.
Zen: The only thing we can do is to watch over them. It feels kind of vexing, isn't it?
Iori: Yer right, but cozmez's a strong opponent. Can't let our guards down on the next live.
Zen: Of course, I will go all out! I have no intention to lose!
Iori: Yeah! Becoming of Akan Yatsura, let's go merrily an' flashily!

Akan Yatsura / CALL FOR FAMILIEZ -Akan Yatsura is Forever- full ver.
CALL FOR FAMILIEZ -Akan Yatsura is Forever- Composer:LOWEND ORDER Lyricist:心之助&Mt’ from WAYZ Arrangement:LOWEND ORDER
Listen on Spotify.
Call for familiez Call for familiez
Good-for-nothing Bad boyz roots Dangerous guy’s collected Blues
Yeah yeah
This is an unbreakable connection An unbreakable chain of bonds in my chest Been engravin’ my debt of gratitude, until today When I make a mistake, punch me More sparklin’ than any golden chain Reaching my hand now, to the scenery we painted The fangs I polish in order to protect Pain and gain, comes the time to share them all
Men who couldn’t lie to you Awkward but unbreakable resolution My irreplaceable treasure Even if we have different upbringing and circumstances We live a similar life We don’t ever walk it half-heartedly The family my heart chose Finally met you, through a far detour
We are the rule Family we don’t demand compensation from Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end There’s a scenery I want to see, ‘cause I’m with them Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end
Call for familiez Even if we have unerasable past, the us now That’s exactly the answer Call for familiez The times we spent together, way thicker than blood Made me read the word “comrade” as “family” Call for familiez Both his head and manners ain’t good, but Will never forsake family
Good-for-nothing Bad boyz roots Dangerous guy’s collected Blues
That day, I thought It's meaningless to eat by myself Now, I think I want to live with everyone to the end Big Bro and the others who gave me love Innocent brothers who are like small birds and kittens I won't let them say they're alone Solitude is out of the question
Familia, we don't ask for compensation Back bitten, from area to area Materials are bonds, the voices of friends turn into wind Akan Yatsura, eternally A gathering of misfits Comrade we share the pain we've suffered with Holding the mike to answer to the love they taught
Doing something you've decided to do is what men are It's meaningless to prattle fine-sounding talk and blunder I'll bring my passion and faith to the grave To protect my family, I'll even dirty my hands We're the back alley outlaws If we deem you an enemy, we'll steal your everything Money can't buy a life with you all A happiness even scoundrels could become
We are the rule Family we don’t demand compensation from Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end There’s a scenery I want to see, ‘cause I’m with them Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end
Call for familiez Even if we have unerasable past, the us now That’s exactly the answer Call for familiez The times we spent together, way thicker than blood Made me read the word “comrade” as “family” Call for familiez Both his head and manners ain’t good, but Will never forsake family
Good-for-nothing Bad boyz roots Dangerous guy’s collected Blues
Call for familiez Even if we have unerasable past, the us now That’s exactly the answer Call for familiez The times we spent together, way thicker than blood Made me read the word “comrade” as “family” Call for familiez Both his head and manners ain’t good, but Will never forsake family

cozmez / This Is My Love full ver.
This Is My Love Composer:S-kit Lyricist:GASHIMA from WHITE JAM Arrangement:S-kit from GROUND-LINE
Listen on Spotify.
That time, I had nothing Back in the days, I only froze in the cold At those days too, just because you’re by my side I managed to get through it Endless rain Never-vanishing shadow Money we don’t have Even those, we turn into a coil
Even at that night when we’ve lost our place to go I’ve always believed you, My bro
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
Yeah
One day even that bitterness, Those days we just want to run away, Even that exitless back alley, They made the current us strong, didn’t they? If you’re here, then it’s enough No matter when, our bond will never disappear We’re connected, by our DNA
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
Our past sins wont disappear Unmeasurable just by ideals Others wont understand Even so, what I need is only You & I Pass through the pain, change the game The top of the top I head for with my big bro If we're together, we can exceed anything We'll definitely get our hands on everything
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart

cozmez x Akan Yatsura / “FAMILY” voice drama track 1
youtube
Zen: Sorry for suddenly asking you to do a job even though you’re busy preparing for the live, Kanata-kun.
Kanata: No... I need money too, after all.
Iori: Aight, here ya go, payment for the job. Added in a bonus, too.
Kanata: Thanks.
Iori: Ah, yeah, I saw yer stage the other day. The one against BAE.
Zen: It was brilliant! I was moved. The track that felt like it’s swooping down on you, the profound lyrics... You two’s desire turned into fierce vibes, and pressed into my heart!!
Kanata: Yeah.
Zen: You guys weren’t bad during the Opening Show, but now you were like different people altogether! It’s like, you were giving your all... and you looked like you’re really having fun!
Kanata: Having fun...?
Zen: Yeah! You had a good expression, Kanata-kun!
Kanata: Oh, really.
Iori: ‘Sup with that thin reaction~?
Kanata: It doesn’t matter how good if we lose, after all.
Zen: There’s no such thingーー
Kanata: We get no money if we lose, we ain’t doing it for fun.
Iori: ‘s good to have ambitions, I like that kinda dazzle.
Kanata: Thanks.
Iori: Yer next opponent is us, Akan Yatsura. Haha, seem like it’d be an interestin’ match!
Kanata: Suiseki-san, I have one thing I want to ask you...
Iori: What’s it? Say it.
Kanata: Your team... Akan Yatsura’s other members, do they know about this?
Iori: Whatcha mean by “this”?
Kanata: That you’re collecting metals behind the scenes. Using people like me, doing business you can’t talk about to others. [1]
Zen: You...!
Iori: Ooh, how unusual.
Kanata: Huh?
Iori: Askin’ stuff about other people... I thought ya ain’t interested in anyone but yer lil’ bro.
Kanata: I didn’t meanーー
Iori: No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know.
Kanata: ...!
Iori: Rest assured, they know nothin’.
Kanata: Is that so.
Zen: That’s why, you don’t have to worry during our match, too! Let’s ignore our standings and collide with all of our strength!
Kanata: “Stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, you said... well yeah, of course you won’t tell them a thing.
Zen: Huh?
Kanata: The end for people who keeps using phantometals, that is.
Zen: That’s...!
Kanata: “Team is family”... saying stuff like “family”, but not telling them the important things... only showing the good stuff, you’re just deceiving and using them idiots, huh?
Zen: You’re wrong! They’re fully aware of the metal’s risks andーー
Kanata: Nobody can stop the erosion once it’s started. You’ll melt, and get swallowed by the metal - do they know this too?
Zen: ...!
Kanata: Suiseki-san... that name of yours, it’s the name of the ex-boss who were killed in the attack incident, right?
Iori: What’s that? Yanno it well, don’tcha?
Kanata: I looked it up, you know? ‘Cause I don’t like getting used one-sidedly.
Iori: Ooh~? The lil’ rat in my control’s be playin’ detective and tryna threaten the Suiseki Iori, that it?
Kanata: Stop screwin’ around...
Iori: Ha?
Kanata: Suiseki-san... you inherited a name and now you feel like you’re family? If you’re a family... if you guys think you’re a real family, then why do you let them do stuff that’ll whittle their own life? Families share everything, however dirty or painful it is. There ain’t a need for secrets! No need for secrecy! If it’s to protect another’s life, then your own life don’t matter! That’s what a “family” is, ain’t it!?
Iori: Are ya... tellin’ yerself that?
Kanata: Ha?
Iori: Both ‘a us keep secrets from our family, don’t we? Did ya tell yer lil’ bro about this business? About the metal...
Kanata: ...!
Iori: “No reason to tell ‘em stuff they don’t ‘ave to know”, ain’t we the same?
Kanata: Don’t lump me with you! I do it to protect Nayuta!! Unlike you guys who do it to conveniently use them!
Zen: You...!! You’re crossing the line!!
Kanata: The next match!
Iori & Zen: ?
Kanata: We’ll absolutely win. There’s no way we’ll lose to a mock family like you!
Iori & Zen: ...
Kanata: Nayuta and I... we’ll hammer into you all that cozmez’s the most terrific.
(Kanata walks away.)
Iori: Haha, “mock family”, huh. He said something clever. Sounds extreme delicious if you put it an oden! [2]
Zen: Waka!
Iori: Hey. You’re s’posed to laugh just now!
Zen: ...! I’m sorry, but...! There will come a time one day that Kanata-kun will have to see the reality... the truth. For that reason, Waka purposefully collected metals...
Iori: It’s fine. ’s a child who’ve been hurt terribly by dirty adults up ‘til now. Well, that ‘stray cat’ kinda part of him made me can’t ignore him, though.
Zen: Sigh. We’re not a charity, you know?
Iori: I know that~! ‘s why, we’ll win the live. We’ll seize the 10 billion without fail. Rest assured! Plus, on that case too... I’ll settle it without fail. [3]
Zen: Yes.
Iori: Well then, I’ll be goin’ out for a while.
Zen: To where?
Iori: A secret, s-e-c-r-e-t!
Zen: ...
Iori: What’s with tha’ face? Haha, don’tcha worry. ‘S minor business, minor business.
(Iori walks away.)
Iori: See ya!
Zen: ...Minor business, he said... Sigh. Waka, if it’s for you, I intend to do any job, whatever it is. Even so, why are you always, by yourself... Sigh. “Family”, huh...
_
(Sound of train passing through.)
(Kanata opens the door.)
Kanata: I’m home.
Nayuta: Oh, welcome home, Kanata.
Kanata: How are you feeling, Nayuta? Your fever?
Nayuta: Mm, I’m fine already. Anyways, where’d you go? When I woke up, you’re gone.
Kanata: Sorry, just doing a minor business. In return, here.
(Kanata opens a plastic bag.)
Nayuta: Huh? It’s Raimen-tei!
Kanata: You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s eat before it gets cold. Chuuka-don and gomoku yakisoba [4]. Which one you want?
Nayuta: You choose, Kanata.
Kanata: I’m fine with whichever. Get what you want, Nayuta.
Nayuta: ...No.
Kanata: Huh?
Nayuta: Kanata is always like that. You always put me first.
Kanata: What’s up, suddenly?
Nayuta: I don’t like stuff like that. Kanata, you have to take care of yourself more. Kanata, you always think of me first. But even I want to put Kanata first, too.
Kanata: Huh?
Nayuta: That’s why, today, you choose, Kanata.
Kanata: Sigh. Fine. Then, I’ll get the yakisobaーno, let’s share it half and half. Then we can eat both, right?
Nayuta: You’re right, but...
Kanata: “Sharing everything is what a family is”, right?
_
Kanata: Aah, it was good! We’re full now, so, let’s sleep.
Nayuta: Kanata.
Kanata: Huh?
Nayuta: There’s something that’s always been on my mind...
Kanata: What?
Nayuta: I don’t think we can continue being like this.
Kanata: Ha?
Nayuta: Um... I think it’s better for Kanata to go out more. It’s better for you to widen your world.
Kanata: You... what are you saying, suddenly?
Nayuta: I understood from our battle with BAE the other day... because Kanata was different.
Kanata: Me? Ha, which part? I’m just as usualーー
Nayuta: No, you were different. You were... you were way, way better than the usual Kanata.
Kanata: ...!
Nayuta: I think... it’s probably because of the thing with BAE. After that, Kanata started making the track with amazing vigor, right?
Kanata: That’s... I just didn’t want to lose against those naive guys, that’s all.
Nayuta: That day’s stage... I felt it. That our music have a way amazing future. That meeting changed Kanata. I felt it, you do too, don’t you?
Kanata: ...!
Nayuta: You can’t keep being closed off like this. If we stay only in our world... one day, we’ll reach our limits.
Kanata: Don’t say stupid things! Weren’t we always the best!? Nayuta and I - what else do we need!?
Nayuta: Other people.
Kanata: ...!
Nayuta: Other people’s music. Other people’s passion. Hope. Desire. That’s what will make you stronger, Kanata.
Kanata: ...
Nayuta: That’s why, Kanata. Go out more. Meet other people. If you do, cozmez can go to greater heights.
Kanata: Then, Nayuta, you too. With meーー
Nayuta: I’m not going.
Kanata: Why!?
Nayuta: You understand, don’t you? I can’t go.
Kanata: What are youーー
Nayuta: You have to go by yourself, Kanata.
Kanata: Ha?
Nayuta: Kanata, for yourself.
Kanata: ...!
(Sound of train passing through.)
Kanata: Stop screwing around... STOP SCREWING AROUND!!
(Kanata kicks some stuff.)
Kanata: What the hell are you on about!? “Go by yourself”!? Don’t screw with me!!
Nayuta: ...
Kanata: We were always together... we did everything with only the two of us, didn’t we!? When we got hit by shitty adults, when we ran away from the orphanage...!! Hungry, frozen, when we live by drinking muddy water...!!
Nayuta: Yeah... Kanata always protected me.
Kanata: I’m fine if I only have you, Nayuta!! Other people’s music, passion, who the hell cares about that!? I don’t ー we don’t need it! I always told you, don’t I!? If we’re together, we’re the strongest...!!
Nayuta: Kanata...
Kanata: Don’t... leave me alone... I... it’s enough if I only have Nayuta...
Nayuta: Kanata... I’m the same. I want to make Kanata happy. Because you’re my number one... I want to make you happy even if it costs me my life.
(Kanata cries.)
Nayuta: Don’t cry, Kanata... I’m sorry... There’s nothing else I can do...
(Sound of train passing.)
_
(Reo bangs on the door.)
Reo: Satsuki-chan!! Hey, get a grip!! Until when are you going to be in the toilet!? Make it fast, Satsuki-chan!! Are you pooping!? Hey, are you pooping!!?
(Satsuki opens the door.)
Satsuki: I’m not pooping, you shitty brat!!
Reo: Waahhh, stinky!!! You really were pooping!!
Satsuki: Shut up!! You just have to pinch your nose and get in!!
Zen: Hey! Be good and use the toilet in order! Jeez, even though we’re about to eat.
(Hokusai puts plates and chopsticks on the table.)
Hokusai: I’m done putting the plates and chopsticks on the table... What should I do next...?
Zen: Thank you, Hokusai! Then, please get the usual out.
Hokusai: Okay.
Iori: Yawn... Oh, smells good.
Zen: Today’s miso-shiru is Waka’s favorite, potato miso-shiru!
Iori: Ooh, ‘s merry! Ooh... dried horse mackerel, spinach ohitashi, hijiki, and tamagoyaki, huh... [5] Good work as usual.
Zen: Not at all. A healthy mind dwell in a healthy body! Eating is important, after all!
Iori: Haha, yer right, but..
Hokusai: Zen. Strawberry, banana, and yoghurt... which one?
Iori: Eatin’ protein as dessert’s kindaーー
Zen: Ah! Waka, in place of closing tea, would you like the matcha flavor?
Iori: No... yeah.
_
Iori: Alright!
Satsuki & Reo: Let’s dig in!!
Hokusai: Let’s eat.
(Sound of door bell ringing.)
Iori: Huh? Who is it at this time?
Zen: Is it some kind of a salesperson?
(Door bell keeps ringing.)
Satsuki: So noisy!
(Satsuki stands up.)
Satsuki: Zen-nii, I’ll drive them away quick!
(Door bell keeps ringing.)
Satsuki: Oi, you’re bein’ noisy so early in the morning!! Get aーー
(Satsuki opens the door.)
Satsuki: ...!? Eh!?
Reo: Hey, did you reject them properly?
Hokusai: Satsuki.
Satsuki: Ah, no... when I opened the door, he’s standing in the foyer...
Reo: Huh? You, have I seen you somewhere...?
Hokusai: cozmez’s... Kanata...?
Iori: Huh? What’s upーー Ha...?
Zen: Kanata-kun... why are you here?
Kanata: I told you that I’ve investigated the Suiseki group, didn’t I? I know, at least, that this is the only house left after the group collapsed.
Satsuki: Oi, how dare you speak informally to Zen-nii!? Rather, Zen-nii, do you know him?
Zen: No, uh...
Iori: And? What business d’ya have, suddenly bargin’ in to other people’s house?
Kanata: Suiseki-san... I want to speak one-on-one with you.
Reo: Whaーdid you come to pick a fight!?
Satsuki: Aight, I’ll fight you, get out!
Hokusai: Fighting is not good...
Iori: Haha. That’s how it is. Everyone here’s my family. Don’t hold back, say anything ya want. Or... are ya scared in front of everyone ya can’t talk?
Kanata: Such a thing...
Zen: Judging from your state... something serious happened, didn’t it? If there’s anything we can do for you, then please.
Kanata: Um, yesterday... I’m sorry.
Iori: Huh.
Kanata: I’ll apologize for yesterday. That’s why, Nayuta... please, look for Nayuta...!
Notes
[1] As in illegal, dark dealings.
[2] It’s a play on words. “Modoki” means “mock” or “-pseudo”. I think he’s punning it with “ganmodoki”, a type of dish. From Wikipedia: “Ganmodoki is a fried tofu fritter made with vegetables, such as carrots, lotus roots and burdock. It may also contain egg. Ganmodoki means pseudo-goose This is because ganmodoki is said to taste like goose”. You can also put it in an oden.
[3] He’s not talking in his fake accent...
[4] From Wikipedia: Chuuka-don is a bowl of rice with stir-fried vegetables, onions, mushrooms, and thin slices of meat on top. From japanfoodaddict.com: Gomoku Yakisoba is crispy, grilled noodles with vegetables, pork, and seafood, in a hearty, thick sauce.
[5] Ohitashi: boiled greens in bonito-flavored soy sauce; hijiki: dark edible seaweed usually sold in dried black strips; tamagoyaki: fried egg.

Akan Yatsura / CALL FOR FAMILIEZ -Akan Yatsura is Forever- short ver.
youtube
CALL FOR FAMILIEZ -Akan Yatsura is Forever- Composer:LOWEND ORDER Lyricist:心之助&Mt' from WAYZ Arrangement:LOWEND ORDER
Call for familiez Call for familiez
Good-for-nothing Bad boyz roots Akan Yatsura’s collected Blues
Yeah yeah
This is an unbreakable connection An unbreakable chain of bonds in my chest Been engravin’ my debt of gratitude, until today When I make a mistake, punch me More sparklin’ than any golden chain Reaching my hand now, to the scenery we painted The fangs I polish in order to protect Pain and gain, comes the time to share them all
Men who couldn’t lie to you Awkward but unbreakable resolution My irreplaceable treasure Even if we have different upbringing and circumstances We live a similar life We don’t ever walk it half-heartedly The family my heart chose Finally met you, through a far detour
We are the rule Family we don’t demand compensation from Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end There’s a scenery I want to see, ‘cause I’m with them Blood relations don’t matter for us brothers Forever never end
Call for familiez Even if we have unerasable past, the us now That’s exactly the answer Call for familiez The times we spent together, way thicker than blood Made me read the word “comrade” as “family” Call for familiez Both his head and manners ain’t good, but Will never forsake family
Good-for-nothing Bad boyz roots Akan Yatsura’s collected Blues

cozmez / This Is My Love short ver.
youtube
This Is My Love Composer:S-kit Lyricist:GASHIMA from WHITE JAM Arrangement:S-kit from GROUND-LINE
That time, I had nothing Back in the days, I only froze in the cold At those days too, just because you’re by my side I managed to get through it Endless rain Never-vanishing shadow Money we don’t have Even those, we turn into a coil
Even at that night when we’ve lost our place to go I’ve always believed you, My bro
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
Yeah
One day even that bitterness, Those days we just want to run away, Even that exitless back alley, They made the current us strong, didn’t they? If you’re here, then it’s enough No matter when, our bond will never disappear We’re connected, by our DNA
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart
I’m still singing now, This is my love Nothing’s changed, right, This is my love I don’t ever want to be apart I don’t ever want to be apart

The Cat’s Whiskers / 4 Real full ver.
4 Real Lyricist:SIMON Composer & Arrangement:LOWEND ORDER
Listen on Spotify
Attention 3x If you dont know, now you know Paradox Live TCW 4 Life Straight Up
With perfect sense and passion poppin’ up too much There’s no mistake, No. 1 Golden Rookie a.k.a Dopeness Rat [1] Or so I said, but Here’s a Ryuu-kun Deluxe Cocktail, as aperitif With uncontrolled attitude [2] I like challenges, but I’m a problem child So don’t touch me Imitations of fads are just expendables Grasp the steadfast crown Be the proof of the era
The comrades who gave life To the withering duckweed [3] I wont yield, I won’t waver no more Echo loudly, the shout of resolution That’s right, this era sneers at the weak Looking for the faults of ‘someone’ that nobody knows The buds of self-respect won’t die off Quietly, passionately burn, the fireworks of the heart
(Hey Yo) We always keep it real Keep being straight up, unwavering (Okay) We always keep it real Take you higher (Hey Yo) We always keep it real Make it louder Passion’s burning the whole time From that day until now
What it do keep it going For sure What it do keep it going We’ll show them What it do keep it going Don’t be fake Pierce through the center of tradition and innovation
(What) What are we fighting for Show our presence Protect our true pride ‘til the end (What) What are you fighting for Pierce through the instant of opportunity, fight back now (What) What are we fighting for From the dirty back alley to a super hero Only the realest survive TCW, our black entertainment
Dull, impractical abstract theories, standing on the podium in exchange [4] At night, a last order depending on mood Hackneyed commands backfire, it's time to put it down take over An art that emphasises on roots, as if a Yougou pine tree [5] It's impossible to entice me with ruthlessness Run up, follow behind me, paint over the road map A montage of reminiscence in my inner pocket
A new order real estate A useless broker Calling 110 wanting anonymity [6] The back alley's abnormal On the junction at night and morning Put the pedal to the metal, hangover With rhythm and strong liqueur There's no doubt in the moody one glass I shook The back bone flowing in my blood is the reason Won't back down, never go back
(Hey Yo) We always keep it real Keep being straight up, unwavering (Okay) We always keep it real Take you higher (Hey Yo) We always keep it real Make it louder "Pride" is but one remove from "Arrogance" Confuse the two and it's game over
What it do keep it going For sure What it do keep it going We’ll show them What it do keep it going Don’t be fake Offer prayers of conversion, cut open the future [7]
(What) What are we fighting for Show our presence Protect our true pride ‘til the end (What) What are you fighting for Pierce through the instant of opportunity, fight back now (What) What are we fighting for From the dirty back alley to a super hero Only the realest survive TCW, our black entertainment
Straight up TCW 4 Real

BAE x The Cat’s Whiskers / “PRIDE” voice drama track 2
Listen through Spotify.
Warning(s): This episode has an explanation of BAE’s traumas. It’s all a bit heavy, and Anne’s has to do with gender, so please watch out.
(Anne enters the room.)
Anne: Sigh.
Allen: How was it?
Anne: No good. He won’t come out no matter what I say.
Allen: I see. I... it’s the first time I saw Hajun seriously angry.
Anne: Yeah. I was surprised... for him to show his emotion and get angry like that...
Allen: He... what kind of face is he making now...?
Anne: I want to know, too, but there’s nothing else we could do but let him be for now, don’t you think?
Allen: No... As I thought, I’ll go and try to talk to him once again!
Anne: WhaーI’m going too!
(The two of them go to Hajun’s room.)
(Allen knocks on Hajun’s door.)
Allen: Hajun, you can hear me, can’t you!? You don’t have to open the door. That’s why, just like that, listen to me.
Hajun: How stubborn. After I calm down, I’ll go out by myself. Of course, with a smile as usual. That’s why, please leave me alone.
Allen: That means you’re not smiling right now! Right?
Hajun: What about it? Even I have times when I’m upset.
Allen: That’s not what I’m talking about...! I’m frustrated. When you thrust him away, I thought, ‘ah, he’s seriously angry’... it’s the first time I saw your face like that. It’s a face that you’ve never shown to me nor Anne.
Anne: Yeah...
Allen: And I thought, it’s frustrating, but... what Compra Daimaou sad was right. We haven’t seriously confronted each other. That we’ve only been looking at each other’s convenient sides...
Hajun: ...!
Allen: That’s why, now, I’m angry at myself. Even though I’m the one who was always with you the most, doing hip hop together, I... I didn’t try to see the real you. That’s why... in the depths of my ear, I could hear the sound of a record disk breaking. And flames burn... as everything in front of me turns deep red.
Anne: Allen...?
Allen: I’m talking about trap reactions. Mine... always starts like that.
Anne: Trap reactions, you say? But, Allen, that’s...
Allen: It’s fine! I want you guys to listen. You guys know about my family, right? Both of my parents are classical musicians, and they absolutely wont acknowledge hip hop. I know that, so I listened to hip hop in secret. But then I got completely absorbed in it, and...
_
(Sounds of record disk breaking.)
Allen’s mother: Such grating sounds like hip hop... where in the world did you pick it up from?
Allen’s father: Don’t listen to such worthless music!! Your ears will get dirty!!
Allen: Stop!! Don’t burn it...!! Please... only that...
Allen’s mother: Allen, you’re talented. If you listen to Papa and Mama, you could even become a world-class musician!
Allen’s father: We gave birth to you for that reason, not to let you play trashy music like this.
Allen: Please... I finally understood... the music I want to do is hip hop...! That’s why... Ahhhhh!!
Allen’s father and mother: You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong. You’re wrong.
Allen: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
_
Allen: They burned everything. The records I collected one by one, the equipment I finally managed to buy by saving my pocket money, I was locked up in the house for days... They keep denying my music... no, denying me. After that, Hajun, you know it best, don’t you?
Anne: Ah, that’s unfair. I haven’t heard about that!
Allen: I escaped from the room I was confined in, and ran away to this place. I didn’t think I’d keep living here after that, though.
Anne: So that’s how it was...
Allen: This is my trauma. The nightmare I see during trap reactions. Shameful, isn’t it? To keep recalling again and again the day my treasure got burnt by my parents when I was a brat.
Allen: No it’s not! It’s not. Mine starts with the sound of a scissor.
_
(The sounds of scissors clipping.)
Anne’s mother: Look, you turned wonderful!
Anne: Sob... hic...
Anne’s mother: Long hair don’t suit you, Anjin [1]. You’re a boy, after allーshort hair’s way better.
Anne: Hic... But I...!
Anne’s mother: Anjin!!
Anne: ...!
Anne’s mother: When Papa left, you promised him, right? That from now on, Anjin will become Mama’s prince.
Anne: Yeah...
Anne’s mother: Right!? Right, Anjin! I love you, Anjin! I want to love, you Anjin! That’s why, Anjin, please stay as Mama’s prince forever...
Anne: Yeah... that’s right... I’m Mama’s prince, after all... I have to be loved by Mama... hic...
_
Anne: Haha, that’s definitely a toxic parent, right? But... I couldn’t run away. Even now, I still think I want to be Mama’s prince, somewhere in my heart. I want to love and be loved.
Allen: ...!
Anne: But if it goes on, both of us will break. I knew that, so I left home. Haha. The story of my trap reaction ends here! Seriously, shameful, isn’t it? Not being able to stand independently from my parents even now...
Allen: Anne...
Anne: It’s fine. I thought I’d have to talk about it either way someday, and now I feel relieved after I say it frankly with all of my might.
Hajun: I was told I’m an unneeded child.
Allen: Ah... Hajun, what did you sayー
Hajun: I was told I’m an unneeded child.
Allen: ...! Is that, by Compra Daimaou...?
Hajun: Yes. That’s how it starts for me.
Anne: Start... you mean...?
Hajun: My trap reaction.
Anne: ...!
Hajun: You guys know that I’m the son of the head of Yeon Conglomerate, right?
Allen: Yeah.
Hajun: However, I’m an adopted child. I was taken in to that house when I was a child, just to succeed the family.
Anne: Hajun... if it’s painful, you don’t have to force yourself to say itー
Hajun: My parents... were probably good people. They raised me, who had no blood relation to them, as they would their real son. They probably loved me, as wellーto an extent. ...Until the real son was born.

(Sounds of baby crying.)
Hajun’s father: Hajun. I’ll have you go to Japan.
Hajun: Eh...!?
Hajun’s mother: For Yeon Conglomerate, Japan’s an important business partner. It’s not bad to master Japanese while you have the chance.
Hajun: But I...!
Hajun’s father: It seems like you don’t understand.
Hajun’s mother: Hajun. That means, you’re not a necessary existence in this house anymore.
Hajun: Eh...!?
Hajun’s mother: The most important thing in Yeon Conglomerate is to be related by blood. Because one has blood relations with Yeon Family, one could be the head everyone acknowledges.
Hajun’s father: Fortunately, God has blessed us with a son. You’re a clever childーyou know what that means, don’t you?
Hajun: Then... I’m...
Hajun’s father: That’s right, Hajun. You’re an unneeded child. Unneeded child. Unneeded child. Unneeded child.
_
Hajun: It makes me remember the day when my parents told me I’m an unneeded child. Repeatedly, repeatedly, the day when I got thrown away miserably like a dog.
Allen: That’s why, that time, you...
Hajun: Yes. I subconsciously lost my cool. It was just as that guy from The Cat’s Whiskers said. I’m scared. ...Of becoming an unneeded child again.
Allen & Anne: ...!
Hajun: That’s why, I never get serious with anyone. Even more so if it’s someone I cherish. Wearing a smiling mask, never showing my real self. Because it’s scary. It’s frightening. After all, I’m an unneeded child... If I believe in someone, love them, and get betrayed again... thrown away again, I can’t bear it. If so, then I wont everー
Allen: Don’t be stupid!! Hajun, you’re not an unneeded child!
Hajun: ...!
Allen: No matter what anyone says, you’re not an unneeded child!! Plus, I won’t ever betray you, Hajun! I won’t throw you away! Hajun. Do you remember? The day when I tumbled here.
Hajun: Yes...
Allen: You let the tattered me stay without asking anything, didn’t you? Keeping quiet from your parents and school... and then one day, you said it: ‘That’s nice.’
Hajun: ...!
Allen: To the rap I muttered nonchalantly... to that rap, which you couldn’t even call ‘music’, you said, ‘that’s nice.’ That time, I understood. I still have myself. I thought I’ve lost everything, but I still have myself! Even if it was broken, or burnt... it could never be snatched away. I... the sound echoing inside of me, will never be erased by anyone! That’s why, that time, the one who saved me was you, Hajun! That I could do hip hop without losing myself, it’s all because of you! Hajun!
Hajun: ...!
Allen: Getting denied, and denied... Being told that I’m worthless, getting broken, burnt... to the tattered me, you said ‘it’s nice’. You accepted me, and asked me to do hip hop together. Who the hell would throw away such an important person!?
(Allen hits the door.)
Hajun: ...! You’re such an idiot.
Allen: Eh?
Hajun: It’s not something you have to get fired up about. So embarrassing.
Allen: Embarrassing, you said...
Hajun: Are you crying?
Allen: I’m not crying...
Anne: Haha, Allen, you’re crying. Like, a lot.
Allen: Don’t lie!! Look, it’s...!
Anne: Yeah, yeah, it’s the sweat of your heart, is it?
Allen: Yeah, it’s my heart’s sweat!
Hajun: Pft. Jeez... now that you’ve cried before I do...
(Hajun opens the door.)
Allen & Anne: Hajun...!
Hajun: What a hindrance. If you guys stand around there, I can’t open the door.
Allen: Ah... yeah!
Anne: Hajun...?
Hajun: I’m fine already. I’m sorry for making you guys worried.
Anne: No... thank you, Hajun.
Hajun: Hm? Why did you thank me?
Anne: ‘Cause I’m happy. To hear Hajun’s real self, that is.
Hajun: Anne...
(Allen’s stomach growls.)
Allen: Aah... now that I’m relieved, suddenly I feel hungry.
Anne: Then, shall we go eat out somewhere?
Allen: I wanna go to Raimen-tei! I want char siu ramen with double the char siu! Of course, it’s Hajun’s treat!
Hajun: Ha!? Why do I have to treat you guys!?
Anne: Then, I want a tenshin-don! [2] With all-you-can-drink draft beer!
Hajun: Waitー
Allen: Come on, let’s go!
Anne: Ah, I wanna retouch my makeup!
Allen: That kinda thing, it’s fine already!
Anne: What do you mean by ‘that kinda thing’!?
Hajun: Jeez, you guys... thank you.
Allen: Huh?
Hajun: It’s nothing. Can’t be helped, I’ll treat you all today. Let’s go.
Anne: Free meal’s the best!
Allen & Anne: Haha!
_
(Sound of door knocked.)
Anne: Yes, please come in.
(Door opens.)
Saimon: Hello. I’m coming in.
Anne: Saimon-sensei! And everyone else, too...
Ryuu: Hello~! It’s Ryuu-kun!
Shiki: Excuse me...
Yohei: We came to return the gift from last time. Well, call it observing the enemy movements.
Allen: Enemy... is it?
Saimon: It’s a joke. We have no intention to treat you as an enemy. But, indeed we’re interested in you guys. There’s that thing from last time, too, after all.
Allen: Ah, if that’s it, thenー
Hajun: Then, how was it? The trend-jumping, cutting edge-pretending child’s play?
Yohei: He’s really pickin’ a fight, ain’t he.
Anne: Ah, but I want to hear, as well. Please tell us honestly.
Saimon: Come on, Yohei.
Yohei: I’ll take back my words. Sorry for dissin’ you guys.
Allen: Huh!?
Yohei: You guys’ sound today had a core. Something that wont waver, as rappers. No, I felt your pride as a team. It’s different from our style, but I’ll acknowledge it. That was a nice stage.
Hajun: ...
Yohei: Especially you, 48, was it?
Hajun: Yes.
Yohei: How to say it... you broke out of your shell, huh?
Hajun: Thanks to all of you.
Saimon: With this, I’m getting even more excited in battling with all of you. Of course, we have no intention to lose. We’ll bet on our pride and do our own hip hop.
Yohei: We won’t letcha call us behind the times.
Shiki: I-I’ll do my best!
Ryuu: Hmmm? Hey, Mushroom-kun... you...
Hajun: ...!?
Ryuu: You came out of your box!
Hajun: ...!
Ryuu: But you have to hurry, you know? After all, you don’t have much time left.
Hajun: ...!!
Ryuu: Hey, hey, Boss, Master! Ryuu-kun’s in high spirit today! Let’s go back to the floor!
Yohei: We’re done here. Let’s go home.
Saimon: I also have class tomorrow.
Ryuu: Eeeh!? Boring!!! Shiki, you idiot!!!
Shiki: Eh, why me!?
_
Allen: Hajun, are you okay!?
Anne: If he said something weird to you again, this time I’ll knock him down!
Hajun: Haha. No, it’s nothing. You guys are such worrywarts.
Allen: I mean...!
Anne: Right!?
Hajun: Come on, let’s go home. Allen, if you keep dawdling, you’ll lose your metal again.
Allen: ...!! You’re still hung up over that!? You have a bad personality!
Anne: As expected from the sadistic smiling prince!
Hajun: Let’s go, Anjin.
Anne: Hey, I told you to not call me by that name, didn’t I!
Allen: Seems like it’d be good to add ‘wicked-tongued’ to the sadistic smiling prince.
Anne: Seriously, jeez!
Allen: Now it’s wicked-tongued, sadistic smiling prince.
Anne: For some reason, the ‘prince’ never gets removed.
Allen: I wonder why?
Hajun: If I’m with you guys, perhaps, I’m sure...
Notes
[1] I heard Anji first, but then I think it’s actually Anjin?
[2] Tenshin-don is crab meat omelette on rice!! That sounds really good...
