hi mar do you know what lipxlip is? its something related to honeyworks right? could you pls tell me about lipxlip and specifically could you tell me more about like. the context of the song romeo by lipxlip. (i do know the lyrics bc i looked them up and i am being very normal about it) (there is context for this ask) thank u

DO I KNOW WHAT LIPXLIP IS

they're my guys. a fictional idol duo that's part of the honeyworks cast <3 shibasaki aizou (blond) and someya yuujirou (blue hair). id love to know the context for this ask i am. not normal about them at all probably

and as part of the honeyworks cast most of their story is told through music videos! here is a playlist with ALL of their music in release order (but not all of it has an mv) and the ones that are story-relevant are:

romeo

non-fantasy

yume fanfare (LOL)

chiisana lion

yappa saikyou

yellow/seika (no mv but song important)

samishigariya

kono sekai no tanoshimikata

love&kiss

julietta

last stage, a more recent one, is also really good story-wise! you can read the lyrics for it here. i greatly recommend hitsuyou fukaketsu and tsuki no hime too, for the implications. they also appear in the anime heroine tarumono that aired a bit ago!

as for the specific romeo context, it's their first mv! the general setting for the mv is that they're the princes of opposing kingdoms, the prince of the west (yuujirou) and the prince of the east (aizou) and they are both pursuing the same princess (an actress, my beloved narumi sena <3). julietta is a direct sequel to it! (also knights should cover it in this essay i wi

it's one of my favorites because of how well it starts the story: you get what the in-universe mv is like (princely personas! ive heard people say it's a dating sim in mv format alskdjmlskd), what their idol outfits are like And how they are like in reality: hate each other.
