スペースピープル

supeesu piipuru

Space people

[’Ventura, ventura, space people’ is chanted when contacting a UFO.]

Souma-san’s songs are as bewildering and open to interpretation as usual! However, this isn’t the first song in ‘Fictions’ to be about looking back on something (gestures to ‘Hiraeth’), and this song evokes SO MUCH nostalgia. I think it’s to do with looking back on something after it’s been lost, and just remembering that, along with the pains with it (hence the scream that SCARES ME EVERY TIME but works so well). The title and repeated ‘Ventura, ventura, space people’ tie the album off with a surreal, ‘Fictions’ feel. This song is looking back on the small things in life; glancing up at the sky, the cool night air (two of my favourite things)-- back to a simpler time.

The duality

[hydranomago]

“Once my suspender belt is back in place, I’ll arrest you all.”

Asashin: (thanks crowd, and mentions MTC always performs their signature ‘BANG’ gun move; asks audience members to be the ones to shoot at MTC this time) 

MTC: (falls like the dramatic theatre kids they are) 

Shirai: AH! AH! 

Everyone: (clamouring) Are you guys okay? 

Nozu: (to audience) Wait a second guys, you can’t actually shoot them! 

Shirai: (chaotic mode activated) They got shot by the cockroaches*! 

Rio: (sexy voice) That was some good shooting technique. 

Asashin: Um… is there anyone here… who can give first aid… 

Itou: Ah, we have one here! 

Hayami: We’ve a doctor right here! I’ll have a look at everyone later. 

Komada: (softly) Saburo-chan, it seems like my suspender belt has slipped off, could you help me reattach it? 

Soma: W-w-w-w-wait! What are you doing? What do you think you’re doing? 

Komada: My outfit almost fell apart… 

Asashin: We didn’t say you could shoot us until that degree!

Amasaki: DON’T LOOK! 

Asashin: (smoothly covers) Actually there’s something we’ve always wanted to do but haven’t. Is it okay if everyone listens to Kamio’s request? 

Kamio: Those who have undergone training; I’m sure you can do it right. I’m not going to tell you anything, but you can surely respond. 

���What’s my name?” Audience: (loudly, passionately, I wish I was there to shout with them) RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Kamio: Well done. 

Asashin: You did good. 

Komada: Once my suspender belt is back in place, I’ll arrest you all. 

Shirai, Soma: You’re the one being “arrested” right now! 

*[about the audience going crazy even with Samatoki calling them cockroaches]

I just wanted to point out that the voice of William James Moriarty is also a singer AND rapper. He's in several idol series including as Kujo Tenn in Idolish7 and raps as Gentaro Yumeno, and did one of the theme songs for Katsugeki/Touken Rambu.

Oh, that I already knew. At least the part of him being a singer and a rapper. Sadly, I've never heard any of his work yet. I will say...the idea of William James Moriarty rapping is HILARIOUS in my head. XD

I started watching Moriarty The Patriot 3 days ago— I don’t know why I even kept it waiting since 2021. It has been just 3 days into this masterpiece and I have already bought the first volume of manga, styled a cosplay wig, drabbled fanfiction scripts, memorized DYING WISH (opening 1) and made stickers out of it. I don’t know why, but it hit me so hard. It is the first time in two years that something other than Hypnosis Mic excited me this much!

Though, Hypnosis Mic itself is the reason I started Moriarty in the first place— I went there only with the expectation of listening to the brilliant voice actor Saito Soma’s voice acting! He voices the lead role, Moriarty himself! AND moreover!? The plot reminds me a lot of Psycho Pass, especially season 1! Makishima Shogo is the favorite character of all times in my heart, and in this plot not only does Moriarty have a very similar role to Shogo, they have the same character designer with the person who illustrated part of Psycho Pass’ manga. The story is less gore and more light hearted compared to Psycho Pass, the art and music is wonderful and the characters are gorgeous.

I have never been someone specifically into crime and murder, I know Sherlock Holmes stories of course, from my childhood books, but I don’t go out of my way to seek detective stories. Again, I only seeked Moriarty The Patriot because I wanted to watch Soma Saito’s voice acting performance. BUT oh boy, not only Soma-san is AMAZING (though Moriarty The Partiot feels like it all is Gentaro’s tale he is telling to Dice in his smooth cute voice and he will finish with Uso desu yo), BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE! I am so so so happy and amazed of this work by all means!

Definitely recommended!

And if you are a Hypnosis Mic fan, just check it out for Soma Saito. Plot is different, but he is the same gorgeous actor. You can hear Gentaro amongst the lines and it just ADDS UP a lot to the fun! ❤️

[sinful-liesel]

Yoshiki Nakajima & Soma Saito's vocals are heavenly!!! Nothing better than my two oshi singing together 😭💕

上がっているだろ?

agatte iru darou?

Turning upwards, aren’t they?

TL notes:

title: mm, as in millimetre!

[1] perhaps a reference to ‘mirrors’, Souma-san’s song about impostor syndrome.

[2] the kanji 眼 for ‘eye’ has medical connotations (rather than 目, the more common way to say ‘eye’)

THIS SONG.... SO MUCH TO UNPACK...

starting out i was like ‘okay this is one of Souma-san’s weirder love songs’ by the end I was like ‘HUUUH’. Shellshocked

with the word choices, VERB choices, it’s not actually romantic at all. seems like a relationship has gone stale OR the worse route is something really toxic and/or abusive is being described here.. and the protagonist cannot see themselves anymore because they’ve been too messed up by it

though I love exploring fictional characters whose ideas of love are fcked up (distorted) so in the end this was very nice to translate

[lanliingwang]

repeatedly reminded out of the blue that kirschtaria wodime (fgo) and yamaguchi tadashi (haikyuu) share a VA...soma saito your Range...
