MANKAI STAGE Fan Favorite Tournament

Here is our fan-submitted best of MANKAI STAGE tournament! As a reminder, I'm not doing a full MANKAI STAGE tournament because the size of the endeavor is a bit intimidating. But if anybody else decides to host that bracket, please please tag me in it!

I was able to include everybody's submissions, with the exception of some of the full-play songs. This was honestly just a game-time decision of mine, since I felt that the 10-20 minute full-play songs would have a bit of a disadvantage in the tournament.

This tournament will start on June 12th, 2023 at 4:00PM CST.

it's just so fun and catchy, and the dance choreo is really cute too especially in the 4 seasons live when they ended the big medley segment with sankaku fantasy and all TWENTY guys were dancing to this song onstage it's just so chefs kiss to me i think

SIDE B, ROUND 3, MATCH 26

Ikkai ichien, Iketeru menma vs Uso ka Honto ka Chikage-san

Fan-submitted propaganda is under the cut.

Ikkai ichien, Iketeru menma

"Once in a lifetime" okay gay boy. happy pride to citoita only.

Uso ka Honto ka Chikage-san

it's so catchy and i like that it interpolates a bit of "petenshi no yuutsu" in the beginning! i like how they harmonise in various parts of the song like "chikage-saaan", "gentleman", "cool guy" (i think it's itaru and maybe someone else going higher than the rest). also at some parts (in the album version at least) citron's voice is a little more prominent when they're begging chikage to be honest with them like you can hear him yelling a little in the back and it's a nice detail. and i like how there's a call-and-response part with the spring troupe with:

masumi, tsuzuru, citron, and itaru: "you might see through him but you can't"

sakuya: "chikage-saaaan"

masumi, tsuzuru, citron, and itaru: "you might grasp him but you can't"

sakuya: "chikage-san!"

then everyone comes together to beg chikage to actually be honest with them and then the winter troupe members join in too and it's just lots of fun!

Ikkai ichien, Iketeru menma 66.7% / Sankaku Fantasy 33.3%

Uso ka Honto ka Chikage-san 66.7% / VS Otona 33.3%

VS Otona losing is going to be my personal 'hanamusa' moment u_u. Ah well. Such is the will of democracy! Interesting to me that both side B polls had the same vote percentage.

Ikkai ichien, Iketeru menma 57.5% / Muscle Rhapsody 42.5%

Sankaku Fantasy 73.3% / Usononai Namida 26.7%

And from our rematch:

Dakkou! Saikou! 52% / Gather Around Animals! 48%

By one single vote, we are saved from the Animals! Saikou! remix. I might make one anyway just for fun, though!
