[mxddyhero]

AKITO AND KENGO MY BELOVEDS

when I was originally making my s/i, i was gonna make her Kengo's older sibling !! bcs he's part of the yosei boys and close with citron, it was basically ideal, but I eventually dissuaded myself 😔 He's SO NEAT to me tho,, he reminds me of belphie. he's quiet and a little mischievous... but he's a good listener !!! i am fond of him :3

AND AKITO-

as someone who studied music journalism and is super passionate about music, I get him so bad <33 I like to think that he helped juza with his hyota fit during rad red with how similar they are :3 I just think he's neat !!

Mankai March question 7!

Yahoo we made it through a whole week of questions! This one’s another character-based one: Do you have a favorite ensemble member? I know I don’t really pay attention to them as much as I wish I did, but I wonder if anyone has them as one of their faves!

Event | the Rad Red | Chapter 10

Daichi: “It’s done, Senri!”

Senri: “Thought I told you to stop coming through the window.”

Daichi: “I said I wouldn’t fall.”

Senri: “Your feet are all dirty from walkin’ around on the roof. Take your socks off.”

Daichi: “You’re surprisingly detailed, Senri. You definitely get dumped early in a relationship ‘cause of it, don’t you?”

Senri: “Shut it. What did you say was done?”

Daichi: “A new song! ♪~♪~”

*Guitar plays*

Senri: …Huh. Ain’t bad.”

Daichi: “I wanna eat ramen~ Ramen~ Tonkotsu, shouyu, and miso ramen~.”

*Guitar stops*

Senri: “And it got worse.”

Daichi: “I couldn’t come up with any lyrics. But I really wanna perform a new song at our upcoming live.”

Senri: “There’s no way we have time for that.”

Daichi: “Isn’t that the trend lately? Figure out something last minute, y’know.”

Senri: “Then you’re the one that’s gotta sing it.”

Daichi: “Nononononono! I’d just get laughed at if I was the one on vocals!”

Senri: “Who’d be laughing?”

Daichi: “The vocals should just be done by someone more like you. My voice isn’t anywhere near that showy.”

Senri: “You’re just too scared.”

Daichi: “Probably. I’m just a more in-the-shadows kinda guy anyway.”

Director: (As per Taichi-kun’s request, Daichi is unable to be the center of attention. He’s gotten really good at acting naturally.)

Director: (Banri-kun is also like Taichi-kun and seems very realistic this time around too.)

Hyota: “It ain’t a bad song.”

Isa: “I like it too.”

Daichi: “Okay so, I’m hoping we can play it at next month’s show.”

Isa: “We’re a little tight on time to try and get it in by next month.”

Hyota: “I think I’m gonna be busy gettin’ ready for job hunting next month.”

Isa: “Job hunting? Already, starting on that?”

Hyota: “Well, most other people got a move on it already.”

Daichi: “Job hunting, huh… So you’re gonna get a job after all?”

Hyota: “Well, yeah, I gotta.”

Senri: “Ah, you gonna work for your old man’s company?”

Daichi: “No! We’ll be able to make money with the band, so…”

Senri: “It ain’t gonna work.”

Isa: “We’re not making any real money right now. We’d have to get a record label to do that, wouldn’t we?

Hyota: “I mean, yeah… Goals are goals, but the reality is this is just a hobby.”

Daichi: “…I still wanna do music. There’s nothing else I wanna do.”

Director: (Both Juza-kun and Azami-kun are playing roles that are closely inspired by their real selves this time, so the atmosphere of a group of young people is really strong.)

Ichihashi: “Make sure you take this exam next month. Are you preparing to study abroad?”

Daichi: “I’m not gonna study abroad. I’m busy with a gig next month, I can’t.”

Ichihashi: “When are you going to realize that you need to take over the company one day?”

Daichi: “I ain’t taking over the company.”

Ichihashi: “You can’t just not study well. You’ll never be able to get a good job without any kind of merit.”

Ichihashi: “That’s why I’d rather have you learn under my watch than go to some second-rate place.”

Daichi: “Shut up! I can make a living off music just fine!”

Ichihashi: “Don’t be stupid. People don’t make a living off of that.”

Ichihashi: “There’s no way it’s possible when the world doesn’t recognize you now. Keep it as just a hobby. I don’t want to see you struggle.”

Daichi: “--Tch.”

*Door slams*

Ichihashi: “Daichi! Listen to me when I’m talking to you!”

Daichi: “Sorry, I don’t have any lyrics.”

Senri: “Guess we’ll have to delay dropping the new song then.”

Isa: “It was always an overly ambitious goal, so it’ll be fine.”

Hyota: “It’s better to make somethin’ we like than somethin’ rushed.”

Daichi: “Sorry. But thanks.”

Senri: “Well then, guess we’ll call it for today then.”

Daichi: “Eh? No, we’re already here so we can practice or something--.”

Hyota: “Can’t. I’ve got things to do.”

Isa: “Ah, well, I think we should go then.”

Daichi: “…Got it.”

Senri: “Huh. Hey, man.”

Ichihashi: “Senri-kun, is it? Is Daichi not with you?”

Senri: “We just split up a little while ago.”

Ichihashi: “…God, why can’t he just study that hard instead.”

Senri: “Impossible.”

Ichihashi: “Sigh…”

Senri: “You coming back from work?”

Ichihashi: “I’m going to check out the completed building and then I’ll be going straight home.”

Senri: “What’d you build this time?”

Ichihashi: “An Italian place right in front of the station.”

Senri: “Huh, I’ll have to check it out sometime.”

Senri: “…Actually, I’ve been kinda interested in architectural design lately, and I’ve been thinkin’ about going into the field.”

Ichihashi: “Is that so?”

Senri: “Haven’t talked about it with anyone yet though.”

Ichihashi: “If it’s design you’re interested in, make sure to chose the right company. Some companies just outsource everything.”

Senri: “Gotcha.”

Ichihashi: ���If you’re interested, my company is always open for you. We don’t do anything too crazy though.”

Senri: “I’ve calmed down a bit lately, so I’d be good. Damn, to think I might be workin’ for your company, man.”

Ichihashi: “I really wish the roles were swapped here.”

Senri: “Well, if it were my folks, they wouldn’t have said anything about me being in a band.”

Ichihashi: “Your parents are also artistic people. So you might actually have a chance at making it, Senri-kun.”

Ichihashi: “But like me, Daichi has a clumsy nature. I don’t think he can make it on music alone.”

Senri: “Well, there’s still time until graduation, so I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

Ichihashi: “I hope so.”

Ichihashi: “Oh, right. If you want to study architectural design, you should consider studying abroad.”

Senri: “Abroad, huh. I’ve been interested in it for a while now. Guess I better give it some more serious thought…”

Ichihashi: “I’ve given Daichi some recommendations for colleges and courses, so ask him.”

Senri: “Gotcha.”

Daichi: “I really wanted to perform the new song. Oh well, guess we’ll have to put it in another show next month.”

Isa: “You’re putting in too much.”

Hyota: “Ah, sorry, but I think this might be my last show.”

Daichi: “Eh?”

Hyota: “I’m leaving the band because it looks like I’m gonna have to be more serious about job hunting than I thought. Once I get settled, I’ll keep supporting ya as much as I can.”

Daichi: “Huuuuh!? You’re kidding!?”

Isa: “Shouldn’t have said that before the show.”

Hyota: “Sorry. It wasn’t easy to say.”

Senri: “Well, I heard that job hunting is pretty tough.”

Isa: “Can’t be helped.”

Daichi: “Huh? Wait a sec, what? You’re all just okay with this!?”

Staff: “It’s almost time.”

Senri: “Aight, let’s go.”

Daichi: “No, we’re not done talking about this!”

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Isa: “That desperate tension was surprisingly nice.”

Senri: “The only one who was desperate was Daichi.”

Daichi: “Anyone would be like that if they were told something like that right before a show!”

Hyota: “Senri seemed pretty normal though.”

*Knock on door and door opens*

Yoshimi: “Are you the members of Rad Red? Do you have a sec?”

Daichi: “Yeah?”

Yoshimi: “I’m Yoshimi from AB Records.”

Daichi: “AB Records!?”

Hyota: “Deadass?”

Isa: “Seriously…”

Yoshimi: “Your song was really incredible. You’re not affiliated with a label yet, are you? Are you interested?”

Daichi: “Y-Yes, yes! Absolutely yes!”

Yoshimi: “I’d like to consider a few things, so if you have any sound files or anything else you’ve done so far, could I have them?”

Daichi: “I’ll send ‘em right away!”

Yoshimi: “Thanks. I’ll be in touch.”

Daichi: “I-Is this like, our debut!?”

Senri: “I dunno yet. Maybe they’re just picking around here and there.”

Daichi: “But if he approached us, that means we have a chance right? He approved of us!”

Hyota: “Well, that’s probably true. That’s good.”

Daichi: “Hey, you started out saying you’re leaving the band! And then we get a CD debut! You’re not leaving, are you!?”

Hyota: “Ah… Umm…”

Daichi: “You said the best way to make a living is music!”

Hyota: “I guess I’ll hold off on leaving.”

Daichi: “Hell yeah~!!!”

Senri: “…”

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Daichi: “I’m home.”

Ichihashi: “Daichi. Continuing our conversation about studying abroad the other day, Senri-kun is properly thinking about his future. You on the other hand--.”

Daichi: “I’m on the verge of being able to make a CD debut. I’m gonna pursue a career in music.”

Ichihashi: “What are you talking about?”

Daichi: “Today a guy from a record company scouted us out. Our music got recognized!”

Ichihashi: “If you’re lucky enough to make your debut and think you can make a living off of just that, you’re mistaken.”

Ichihashi: “Do you know how many people make a debut and then just disappear?”

Ichihashi: “If you get carried away by the words “CD debut, you won’t last a minute in that industry. You’re too naive. You should--.”

Daichi: “--Stop it! You have no clue what you’re talking about, Dad! You never approve of anything I do!”

Ichihashi: “Enough with this childish nonsense!”

Daichi: “I could say the same thing!”

Ichihashi: “Daichi! Where do you think you’re going!?”

Daichi: “Away from you!”

*Door slams*

Senri: “So you just come to my house? You can’t run away just by going next door, y’know.”

Daichi: “I know.”

Senri: “So I heard from your old man that you’re a candidate for a college to study abroad at?”

Daichi: “Eh? Ah, I feel like he said something about that but I wasn’t really listening.”

Senri: “You should listen to your old man more.”

Daichi: “Listening is pointless. I could tell him the same thing. He doesn’t listen to me at all.”

Daichi: “Maybe you should just ask him. You said you were interested in his company, didn’t you, Senri? Aagh, if only things were switched around.”

Senri: “...You really are father and son, huh.”

Daichi: “What’d you think?”

Senri: “...Ain’t bad.”

Daichi: “Really!? There phrases here and stuff are so cool, if I do say so myself~. I’m sure you’ll feel so good when you sing it.”

Senri: “True. But I’m not the one who’s gonna sing it.”

Daichi: “Eh?”

Senri: “You sing it.”

Daichi: “Huh? Why? Is there something wrong with it? If so, I can fix it.”

Senri: “Knock it off. You know what I’m saying. It’s your song.”

Senri: “Every song you’ve ever written is your song. They’re not mine. I’m not the one who wants to be in the band or sing.”

Daichi: “Eh--.”

Senri: “Go.”

Daichi: “Senri--.”

Senri: “You can come back when you convince your old man, dumbass.”

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Hyota: “So you decided to hide out here.”

Daichi: “I don’t get it. So you’re telling me Senri’s been in the band all this time and he’s actually hated it?”

Daichi: “Back when I asked him, he didn’t seem to cae that much, but I was sure he was having a good time.”

Hyota: “Well yeah, it was fun. But not for you.”

Daichi: “I’m having fun! Being in the band with you guys is hella fun.”

Hyota: “You’re trying to go further than just having fun. That’s what it means to make a living with music.”

Hyota: “If it’s for a hobby, then fun is just fine. But if you wanna make a living doing it, you’ve gotta be more prepared.”

Hyota: “I dunno if everyone will be able to make the same decision as easily as you did.”

Daichi: “So you’re saying Senri doesn’t want to do this with me anymore.”

Hyota: “Originally, you only invited him to the the vocalist because you couldn’t sing yourself.”

Daichi: “That’s true, but… I was just wondering if Senri wants to do music all the time like I do--.”

Hyota: “C’mon, just let him go.”

Daichi: “What do you mean “let him go”? We’ve been together since we were kids for the most part. I’m like Senri’s sidekick…”

Hyota: “Even so, you’re still the center of the band.”

Hyota: “I joined this band because I thought your songs were good, and I thought I could make a living playing music in this band forever.”

Hyota: “You have that kinda magnetic field, the kinda energy that just sucks you in.”

Hyota: “I think a guy like that can make a living in music, and with you in the band, I’m starting to think I might be willing to risk it all for that.”

Daichi: “...What about Senri?”

Hyota: “You already know the answer to that.”

Isa: “The hell, no Senri today either? How are we supposed to practice the new song?”

Daichi: “Aah…”

Hyota: “Daichi, you sing.”

Isa: “That’ll work. You can sub in.”

Hyota: “You can sing just for practice, right?”

Daichi: “...Well, okay.”

Senri: “So many incoming calls… Tch, so damn clingy.”

Delinquent A: “Haah?”

Delinquent B: “What’d you say, asshole?”

Senri: “Hah? I wasn’t talking to you.”

Delinquent A: “What? You tryin’ to pick a fight?”

Delinquent B: “Huh? Ain’t this the Rad Red vocalist? Think I saw him at the show the other night.”

Delinquent A: “Ah, the band that played all those boring-ass songs.”

Senri: “--.”

Delinquent B: “What’s with that look? The hell are you gonna do?”

Senri: “You fuckers aren’t gonna get bored of this!”

Yoshimi: “I had a listen to your songs. I hope you’ll consider making your debut with our label.”

Daichi: “Really!? Of couse we will!”

Isa: “A legit debut, huh…”

Hyota: “That’s incredible.”

Yoshimi: “By the way, there was one song where Senri-kun wasn’t the vocalist. Was that you, Daichi-kun?”

Daichi: “Ah, yeah. That one was just a demo.”

Yoshimi: “You should’ve sung it live, it was incredible.”

Daichi: “No, no, I’m no good singing in front of people.”

Yoshimi: “Speaking of that, where is Senri-kun today?”

Daichi: “Ah, gimme a sec on that…”

*Phone buzzes*

Daichi: “Ah! Senri!? Why were you ignoring my calls!? Eh? Auntie? Huh? Senri got arrested by the police!?”

Isa: “Police?”

Hyota: “What’d he do this time?”

Daichi: “He got into a nasty fight and the police got involved.”

Isa: “What bad timing.”

Daichi: “Ah…”

Yoshimi: “Does Senri-kun do this kind of thing often?”

Daichi: “Umm… Sometimes… But I swear he’s not a bad guy!”

Yoshimi: “In the professional world, one person’s scandal can be fatal to the whole group.”

Yoshimi: “It’ll not only affect the individual band member, but the team as a whole.”

Yoshimi: “From now on, this is gonna be a bigger project, not just playing music with your buddies.”

Yoshimi: “The number of people involved will also be much larger. That’s what it means to be a professional.”

Yoshimi: “Of course, same goes for making the music. That’s something you all have to be aware of.”

Daichi: “...Understood.”

Yoshimi: “Would you consider debuting without Senri-kun and would you be on vocals instead, Daichi-kun?”

Yoshimi: “This isn’t something I’m just coming up with now, I thought about it when I listened to that demo.”

Yoshimi: “I picked you guys because your one song was good, but when I heard Daichi-kun’s vocals, I could sense an even more high quality song there.”

Daichi: “We-- We can’t do that! All of us are Rad Red, including Senri!”

Daichi: “We won’t do the debut without Senri!”

Hyota: “Oi, Daichi--.”

Yoshimi: “I see… We just want to minimize the risk as much as possible. Please just consider it for a moment.”

Daichi: “--Gh.”

Isa: “What are we gonna do? You know if Senri’s coming yet?”

Daichi: “I haven’t heard from him at all.”

Hyota: “Anyway, why didn’t you just say that we’d debut without Senri?”

Daichi: “Because! Senri is our vocalist! Even if I haven’t heard a single thing from him yet!”

*Door opens*

Senri: “That’s the thing that pisses me off.”

Daichi: “Senri!”

Senri: Y’know, from our first song, “Seven”.”

Daichi: “Y-Yeah. I mean, of course I do!”

Isa: “Damn, you really are the problem child, huh.”

Hyota: “Now we’re complete.”

Senri: “Aight, let’s bring the house down!”

Senri: “Hmm, well then, next up is our last song. A new one. This one was created after you had a fight with your father. Right, Daichi?”

Daichi: “Haha. You got me.”

Audience Member A: “Ahaha.

Audience Member B: “What the hell?”

Senri: “To be honest, ever since elementary school, Daichi never stood out. He wasn’t good at sports or studying, he wasn’t funny, and he was just kinda boring.”

Senri: “But not when it came to music. His music was insanely good. So I joined this band as vocalist.”

Senri: “This song is about Daichi’s decision to live his life through music.”

Senri: “So you sing this time. To convince your old man.”

Daichi: “Eh--.”

Senri: “I’m following you from now on.”

Daichi: “Senri!”

Senri: “Hyota, count for us!”

Hyota: “... 1, 2, 3, 4.”

Yoshimi: “No doubt they’ll be big in the future.”

Ichihashi: “That one on the guitar, that’s my son.”

Yoshimi: “Daichi-kun is? If that’s the case, let me introduce myself again-- I’m Yoshimi from AB Records.”

Yoshimi: “I’m in the process of recruiting him for debuting with our label.”

Ichihashi: “You’re…”

Ichihashi: “Daichi had been withdrawn since he was little. He cried nearly every morning when he went to preschool.”

Ichihashi: “In elementary and middle school, he was always the shy kid who hid in the shadows, but before I knew it, he’d grown up.”

Yoshimi: “You have a wonderful son.”

Ichihashi: “He’s clumsy but good at only one thing. He really is just like me.”

Ichihashi: “Daichi, do your best.”
