#i mean. i shouldn't have gotten into a shouting match with them. i was wrong there.

[robustcornhusk]

i'm pissed off about a meaningless situation with a stranger and need to think it through:

when i run, i usually run on the sidewalk. if it were very early in the morning, when there's not much traffic, i would consider running in the street, but the streets are pretty cambered, i would need to run right in the middle, and i prefer not getting hit by cars. i also generally can't duck into the street to avoid something on the sidewalk, because there's a wall of parking. on the rare occasions i've suddenly had to sidestep dog shit, etc, i have about a bad track record of slamming into (parked) cars, miss-stepping and injuring myself, etc.

if i encounter people ahead of me who are walking on the sidewalk, we have to share! this is normal! this is part of living in a semi-urban environment! i tend to shout GOOD MORNING! from about 50 feet away (10-15 seconds), and then PASSING!, then ON YOUR LEFT if they haven't responded in any way. i have to be pretty loud in order to be heard from 50+ feet, and because many people wear noise-cancelling earbuds. i am, sadly, not loud enough to be heard over the earbuds. earbuds-wearers tend to be pretty surprised when i go by.

anyway, most people seem to get why i'm not suddenly jumping in the street to go around them. they enjoy not being buzzed unexpectedly by someone moving at 3-4m/s, some of them recognize me at this point and cheer me, it's really funny when it's schoolchildren because they will obediently and without feeling chant GOOD MORNING! so I think I'm correct when i say that 'most people prefer or are neutral that i give them a loud warning that i'm about to pass'.

when i have not done this in the past to people walking dogs, the dogs have a habit of lunging at me, which is dangerous for all parties.

this morning, some person walking their dog got pissed that i said GOOD MORNING! from 50 feet away, and we got into a shouting match about it.

there was no chance of either of us changing the other's mind on the spot! i'm pissed off! why did i bother with this person! i'm still angry about two hours later! i don't want to be a hothead like this!

for the sake of harm reduction, i think i need to practice 'you're wrong! have a slightly worse morning!'; at least that would be over faster. i could get someone to come with me to the track so i could practice shouting it at them.

Hit Me? Sanji x Reader

Word count: about 1.2k 

Bro….the dodgeball game…sanji is so stupid, pathetic wet cat of a man coded...I wanted to throttle him. I want to hit this man with my 2003 ford prius yoda style. I want to chew on him like a squeaky toy

Warnings: fem!reader, heavy handed teasing, you wanna make sanji cry apparently, VERY SUGGESTIVE, use of the word cock lol, semi-nsfw, no fucking tho…unless? 👀👀👀 sanji might be semi ooc, I am obsessed with the idea of a reader that sanji doesn't have the usual chivalry towards?? Like bless him he'd try, but you're just such a shit.

“Why yeah it'd be my pleasure ma'am, you can hit me wherever you like!”

Oh. Now wasn't that intriguing?

-----

Sanji sulked on the sidelines, fiddling with a lightly crumpled cigarette. Taking pity on him you sat down next to him. Sanji shot you a lazy grin, one that didn't quite reach his eyes. You smiled back, lightly pushing his shoulder.

“I should be mad at you, you could cost us the match.” You joked. Sanji grumbled, his words unintelligible. He could barely make out that ‘you wouldn't understand’ and ‘that he was weak okay!’

You laughed, eyes turning back to watch the match in front of you. You didn't feel too defeated, you trusted your captain. 

“It's okay Ji. I don't think anyone could've gotten out faster than I did! You still did good!”

Sanji turned to you, hearts dancing in his eyes. “And who would dare throw balls at such beauty?! A lovely lady such as yourself shouldn't have even had to partake in such a barbaric display.”

“You saying I can't handle some balls? I happen to be very good at handling them.” You teased. The result was instantaneous, Sanji biting back a perverted laugh, a cute blush on his cheeks.

“Oh angel, really? I didn't expect you to be so saucy.”

There were many things that were undeniably true about you; You were in no way one of the stronger straw hats, you loved a good dirty joke, and you loved nothing more than making your little love cook squirm. If Sanji wanted to pretend all women were angels capable of no wrong, well, who were you to take advantage of that?

You feigned innocence, even cocking your head. “What do you mean? I didn't drop it once.”  

Sanji squirmed, avoiding your gaze. You wanted to crack and snort loudly at his cute face. Instead you pursed your lips in thought.

“Love! I…uh-” he cut off when you couldn't hold it in anymore, a raucous laugh escaping you. He watched you slap your knee like it was the funniest thing in the world. He pouted. “(Name) that's not fair.”

“Oh relax, you big baby.” You cooed. 

A steady silence resumed between you two, watching the match with bated breath. Things weren't looking so good. As the enemies advanced on Zoro, Chopper, and Luffy, so did you with your own attack.

“So.” You began. Sanji hummed in acknowledgement, eyes focused on the field. You paused. Was this really the time to flirt with the man? Probably not, but you were nothing if not an opportunist. You grinned at him, exaggerating his swooning.

“It'd be my pleasure ma'am, you can hit me wherever you like, hmm?”

‘You were a lady!’ Sanji reminded himself, trying to bite back a growl. You just loved to get under his skin, didn't you? He was flushed in embarrassment. It's not like he wanted to lose the match! It's not his fault he had a weakness for pretty women! 

The crowd was aroar, you could hear your crew shouting. Oh. Zoro was out. Sanji began yelling at the swordsman, before he turned his attention back to you.

“So?” Sanji tried to sound unaffected. Your cute giggles reached his ears. Seriously! You were such a little tease, so cute, but so unattainable. You seemed to love riling him up, and he wanted nothing more than to make you his. He wasn't used to women not only reciprocating, but flirting back at a rate that made him dizzy. 

Honestly, the both of you needed to stop being cowards and just confess already.

“Who's the ‘saucy’ one now? You're out here parading your little masochist streak.”

“I am not!” He blustered.

“Where were you hoping they'd hit anyway?” You purred out the question. Sanji tried ignoring you, focusing on the match, but he was one man! One currently very weak man.

You pouted. “I was just joking, Ji. Your kinks are your own. I'm not here to shame you for it.”

“It's not a kink!” He argued. You were relishing this. Sanji was always such a gentleman, so giving and dedicated to worshipping women. And yet, you, you were one of the only women you'd ever seen him snap at and lose his cool with, his hot temper getting the better of him.

Taking advantage of this you leant closer, your thighs touching. Sanji snapped out of his anger, eyes darting to where your half naked leg pressed against his long suit trouser-clad one. Too caught up in where you were touching him, he didn't notice how close your lips were to his ear.

“So you wouldn't like it if that pretty Porche lady pelted you with those dodgeballs? Or tied you up? Or manhandled you to make you be a good boy?”

Sanji was sweating, his heart eyes betraying him. Yeah, you knew your chef. You dropped your voice lower, bracing one hand on his chest.

“Forget hitting, what if she stepped on you? Would you like that, Sanji?”

The man in question whined, quiet pants escaped him, his eyes swirling with lust. He let his eyes fall closed, the dodgeball match long forgotten. Bingo! You felt yourself grow wet. Yes, you were a bad guy! It's just so easy to rile him up. Besides, Sanji would never spare you a passing glance, clear that you annoyed him. So what was the harm in airing out your frustrations like this?

“Love.” He gulped, shuffling around to change how he sat. You grinned at him wickedly. His reactions were so cute, you definitely overstepped the line.

“You didn't answer the question, cook. What if she stepped on your cock, hmm? Only lightly, of course, wouldn't wanna damage the goods.”

Sanji made a noise halfway between a groan and a choking sound, his hand darting up to grab the one you had pressed against his chest. You startled. You could see it in his eyes, the disgust, that unmistakable look of discomfort. Of course he wouldn't want to discuss this kind of stuff with you! You were one of the guys!

“Shit.” You withdrew your hand, not noticing how Sanji's tried to grab you. You'd definitely overstepped the line! “I'm so sorry Sanji, that was completely uncalled for.”

“Love.” He rasped. You were flustered, trying desperately not to stare at him.

The crowd was aroar, people around you jumping and shouting. You looked for a way out. 

Wait? What the fuck?

A brown ball of fluff was lying crumpled on the court lines. 

“Chopper! Oh shit!” You yelled, hurriedly getting to your feet. “Sanji I'm so sorry, I- you can yell at me about this later, I promise.” 

Sanji watched you speed off, hurriedly running to their youngest member. He sighed out a breath he didn't realise he was holding. You were going to be the death of him! You'd made him so hard, so quick, and then, like a true tease dashed off before he could properly engage anything. When would you realise that it was you he wanted to treat him like that?

Later? 

Yeah. Yeah he could yell about it later. 

Right now, he needed a fucking smoke and a cold shower.

Looks like lingerie part 3 is coming i promise ;-; I'm just having trouble writing it ;-; here's a little drabble instead I do have SOOOOO many drabbles I've worked on in the mean time though?

<= Part 3 =>

Summary: The more you ignored them, the angrier he got and you didn’t even know why.

Tagged: @shoutodoki @afuckingunicornn

It took him a quite bit of time to figure out it was you standing in the crowd of people once everyone was rounded up. He wasn’t sure if it was because he didn’t recognize you from not seeing you for about a year, or if he forgot entirely, but being thrown into you felt in some way, a blessing but he had to go and throw it all away. You were weaker than most kids but it didn’t mean you weren’t strong in your own way. He knew it hurt your feelings, he wouldn’t have asked Izuku to bring you to play in their plan.

He sat with the rest of his class, lost in thought and nothing moving him from thinking that he should have done something. Instead, he hid all his feelings from you and none of it came out to show, not even to his one friend, Kirishima. He figured that he already knew about his crush but he has been like this for years now. He thought you’d be the one falling in love with him but it was him. He felt his heartbeat run so fast each time he saw you and it never failed to make him angry.

He knew you got hurt because of him but he also knew about your quirk. You can’t push it to its limits or you’ll hurt your arms in the process. Did he say anything about it? He should have but his pride was always the one getting in the way. He didn't want to lose you but he couldn't bring himself to say it to your face, not anymore.

His eyes had softened. Gazing through the crowd of people that we're settled in the cafeteria, his mind kept thinking of you. He asked himself if your arms were okay. Should he had said something, maybe someone else would have helped you and you wouldn't have been feeling the way you did. He looked around like a lost puppy and he didn't even recognize you coming in with one of your classmates. He looked towards the lines of people getting food and you walked right by him, ignoring the fact that he even existed. You were more worried about your arms at that moment and Katsuki clearly stated you were weak, you should quit. You couldn't and you wouldn't. Not now when you have more reason to show how strong you've gotten and to finally prove that you can take care of yourself. You're not that weak little girl anymore.

~

The festival continued. You ate your food and you found out that your muscles were wearing out that extending your mist over a certain distance can actually tear your muscles apart. It would be beyond painful for you and they didn’t state how far it would until that happened. They told you to manage your mist and if you felt tears or even pain, to pull it back. You'll be risking your arms completely. You knew you have been practicing but since it was just you, how could you manage your mist when you didn't even know how to do so?

You never took that as an excuse but you were risking your hero career. Regardless, you will figure it in the time it takes for the 1 on 1 matches. The previous event had to do with another team event, this time, it was a 4 man team where one person can ruin it for the whole team. You can't be hit or touched by another person of another team. On a good note, you teamed up with your classmates, Tetsu and Tetsuka. Ironically. But then came the weird part of it all. A class 1A student decided to join you. It wasn't Izuku and it wasn't Katsuki. Surprisingly, it was Tokoyami. Why? You weren't sure. You couldn't really put your finger on it but teams are teams, and you 4 passed.

Now it was time for the matches. Most of the class 1A passed, probably only like 3 didn't. It was difficult seeing Izuku and Katsuki's names on the ladder and the good thing about it was you didn't get to fight them on the first match or even the second one. If you win, maybe you'll get the chance to fight Izuku.

You had to fight a class 1A student. Were you surprised? No, of course not. He was smiling in excitement and you stood up there with a breathing problem. You didn't know how well you can play someone enough to win since your fighting skills have gotten a lot better from years prior. You felt the eyes of everyone, and that alone made you shiver in place, Kirishima taking a notice.

"Hey, you alright?" He looked a bit worried.

"I'm alright," you responded quickly, smiling as you showed how nervous you really were. He did notice and even looked like he was debating in his head about something.

"You sure you're okay?" You smiled at him, but your smile was more genuine and Kirishima took that as his consent.

"Now starting the 5th match! We have from the hero class, Kirishima Eijirou!" Kirishima was smiling in determination, seeming as if his confidence was overflowing with just a simple smile. "And from Class B, a newbie since I don’t remember seeing her last year, L/N Y/N!” There were cheers from your classmates, you can hear them encouraging you as well as some saying “you better win!” You felt the confidence inside you rise and it also gave you the courage to position yourself in your attack stance when the match had begun. Kirishima grinned and harden.

“Well, its time to start this,” He told you and quickly lunged towards you. He threw a punching, knowing you had to dodge, you did and waited for the opportunity to strike up but you stopped it. You had used your mist to quickly block him, engulfing his hand in the mist. His eyes narrowed as he struggled to take his hand back, distracting him enough to use your other hands to push him away from you. He rolled back, catching himself by hardening and digging his hands into the ground.

“Not so fast, shark boy,” You had said. “Don’t assume you’ll win that easily.”

“Heh, at least I can have fun fighting you.” You took that an honorable compliment since he is one of the students in AU’s hero class. It was a lot nicer and easier to get along with than Katsuki ever was. And speaking of him...

You had to sigh to not think of him. Now is not the time to do that and so you let some of the mist come out your hands and positioned yourself again. It went back and forth for a while since he wasn’t able to land a hit on you until your arms began to become weak, and he landed a fist that knocked you back. He looked a bit surprised but you got up slowly, huffing and puffing realizing that this match had gotten too long at this point. You could try to end it right now but you’ll be risking losing at the same time. Offensive attacks were not your thing but you had to try. If you could pressure him and push him off when his guard is down, then you believe you can win but that’s if he falls for the bait.

"Don't lose your focus, idiot!" You could hear, your head quickly raising when you heard the familiar voice of Katsuki yelling down at the stage. Was he speaking to you or-

"I know! It's hard to get by them." Kirishima shouted back. Oh, so he was shouting at him. You shook your head and attacked. Was this how it was or was he just trying to get under your skin? You had to understand, you two weren't necessarily friends so you shouldn't be upset. But... I care- No, you don't. You don't care for him. Remember the way he treated you. Remember what he said and even decided to push you away all those years prior to today where he pushed you away again. But I did the same..! No, you had your reasons to do so.

Were these your thoughts? Were these true to who you are that you're too prideful to admit that you fell for the blonde and you're angry, upset because he won't do something about it? Or are you angry because you know he has something for you and you can't bring yourself to say something to him?

"Y/n!" A voice had shouted to you again, you were already on the floor and Kirishima stood a few feet away. Your thoughts were running wild. You didn't know what to think. Your cheek hurts so badly, your head hung low in defeat but you got up. Kirishima's eyes were worried and surprised, his initial excitement fading away.

That voice wasn't Kirishima's, that was Izuku yelling out of worry. You looked up at the stadium watching as Izuku's promptly worried expression looking down at you. He was standing up while the rest of A1 sat there looking a bit perplexed. He sat close with Katsuki who's eyes showed more than his words did. They looked angry but with a more attentive look which got you to think, If it weren't for me if I weren't so weak, I would have been in those seats with those two.

You looked over at Kirishima who stood there with the same perplexed expression as the rest. "I'm sorry, Kirishima, I got distracted. I'm guessing this fight wasn't as fun as you expected." He didn't respond back so you continued. "I won't go easy on you this time."

"What?! You weren't trying?!"

"I was, I just had a few things on my mind. Aside from that, I'm ready to fight." You smiled in reassurance and launched your mist towards him which pushed him back closer to the edge of the stadium. You quickly lunged forward and use your left hand to push his legs back but he was quick enough to harden, enabling you to move him. You took the opportunity to use your other hand to strike him directly only for him to block it with his hands.

"You're strong!" He struggled, his body moving even closer to the edge as his eyes trailed around for something to help himself with. Maybe it was because you wanted to prove those two wrong but after catching Kirishima off guard by flipping him over, using your own mist to help pull him over your shoulder then onto the ground, you felt the need to pull back. You used your quirk to take him out of bounce after being knocked to the ground.

"Kirishima is out of bounce! L/N F/N moves on to the next round!" A sigh of relief escapes your lips, bowing to the sore looking Kirishima who got up slowly with a bummed out expression but was quickly changed when his smile appeared on his face. It gave him another rival of some sort that he lost to you, and for future things to come, he will bother you for matches until the day you die. That's something?

"I've seen you before and I didn't imagine you would be this strong," He began to say with a smile, somehow, slightly offending you but you're sure he didn't mean it that way. He ended up smiling and nodding in response, walking away as he did the same. Back at your seat, your class bombarded you with pats on the back and congratulations that it made you chuckle how excited each friend was. They were happy to see one of their classmates moving up and it made it even easier for you to get noticed by the scouts.

"You did great! You beat a 1A student!" Someone said.

"You never show this much dedication~ were you hiding this from us?" Another teased. The more they talked, the more you felt weird. Your thoughts ran to your victory then the people you were surrounded by, but with each thought came the feeling of those ruby eyes staring at you, the utter feeling of resentment, if you could call it that. You were sure he would be telling Kirishima off about losing to you but you felt like that wasn't the case. Your eyes were now tracing the wall next to the seats to your left. Class 1A was just on the other side of that wall and you felt the somehow agitated aura coming from that side. Maybe it was you? You shrugged it off and watched as the matches continued, your heart feeling a little heavy but a little happy. You won the first round after all.

I’m sorry everyone~ This was so late but I’m getting close to finals week and well, I had work too. I legit only been writing a few words and sentences but that helps me develop the story better even if its a few words or a paragraph lol but anyway, this was just a small part. Hope you guys can forgive me and hope you all enjoy~

Story about Weight Loss

Hiro: Anyway, this has no relation (to the acoustic session) whatsoever, but didn’t I get super thin?

Kid’z: You did! Tell us more! You really did lose weight! Nob too!

Hiro: We declared during Hall Tour that we’d lose weight within one month, but we couldn’t do it. We made a promise though, didn’t we? I did my very best, you know?? I seriously gave it all I got!!

Kid’z: I’ve been avoiding carbs for a long time, and even tried diligently apportioning my meals and stuff like that. But before I knew it, I was already eating curry!

Crowd: *laughs*

Fan: How much weight did you lose?

Hiro: I dropped 6 kg.

Crowd: Ohhh! *claps*

Kid’z: That’s a lot!

Hiro: Amazing, right? On the contrary, I’ve always been fat.

Kid’z: No, seriously.

Hiro: I lost weight so that I can get fat again. I want to get fat so I lose weight. When I’ve lost weight, I’ll gain weight again. It’s a never ending cycle.

Kid’z: Don’t leave it as it is!

Hiro: I get told that all the time. I mean, I’m gonna gain weight before METROCK again anyway.

Kid’z: Isn’t METROCK great though?

Hiro: Can I say this? Why do they hold festivals at such a season?

Kid’z: Because (the weather) is cool? I once thought Doraemon was the one singing.

Hiro: Who you calling 123 cm tall?

Kid’z: Nobita-kun.

Hiro: I’m not the blue geezer.

Kid’z: He isn’t a geezer!

Hiro: He’s a geezer, isn’t he?

Crowd: *laughs*

Hiro: Generally, we release a CD around spring or summer. Then we start tour around autumn, right? From the beginning of fall, Hiroki starts losing weight. Little by little. Then, year end starts rolling in. By the end of the year, tour ends, it becomes production season, and eating Hiroki comes out. Hiroki enters hibernation, just like any other large mammal.

Kid’z: You need to stock up, right?

Hiro: Yep, so I can get through winter. Then it becomes spring again. METROCK is waiting for me, but I don’t want stocked-weight-from-hibernation-at-its-max Hiroki to be exposed there! Why do I keep getting told I got fatter or thinner every time?! Leave me alone!!!

Kid’z: But you did your best, right?

Hiro: ...Yep.

Kid’z: Good job.

Crowd: *claps*

Kid’z: How about Nob? How are you doing?

Nob: I lost 5 kg.

Hiro: You lost weight only because you were sick, right?

Kid’z: Because his tonsils were taken out.

Nob: I haven’t gotten my sense of taste back up until now.

Hiro: Don’t let yourself lose one of your most important senses!

Nob: Some time ago I had pickles and it was the best.

Hiro: What an old man.

Story about Poor Kid’z (figuratively and literally)

Kid’z: This story has no relation to anything we’ve talked about so far, but you (Hiro) started an IG account, right? During Hall Tour. Since then, you did a lot of things to me, like that game with the paper cups and the 10,000 yen you put inside one of them, which I played along with having good intentions in mind. I chose the right cup and you gave me the bill, but you revealed that there was 100,000 yen in the other cups.

Hiro: Yep.

Kid’z: ...I tried that with a friend. I was caught. 100,000 yen.

Hiro: Eh?? They made a winning move, huh.

Kid’z: I was like, “Oh no, what should I do?? Should I take it back?” I wanted to be able to fool someone, to get a taste of how it feels! So I started turning the cups around thinking I could do it like you did. When it was time for them to pick, my friend chose a different cup, and in my head I was all, “No no no, not that!!!” and eventually they got it...

Hiro: That person probably saw my IG post and thought you were an idiot.

Thoughts on Marriage

After Love Letter, Hiro and Kid'z talked about being excited yet nervous to play the next song, since it's been a while since they last played it.

Kid’z: Speaking of which, the person beside me seems to be nervous!!

Nob: *rubbing his palms on his pants*

Kid’z: Can I do a hand check? *touches Nob's palm* It's all sticky!

Hiro: Eh? You're scared of making a miss again? Like in Yokoari? Higedan. Ah! Speaking of which, Satoshi-kun got married! Congratulations!

H&K: *congratulate Nob*

Hiro: Eh? Official?

Kid’z: This is Unofficial.

Hiro: Ah, sorry. Unofficial. He got married, huh... There's been a crazy marriage rush recently... 

Kid’z: Yeah, it's been all over LINE NEWS lately.

Hiro: Right. back number, Higedan, Maple Chogokin.

Kid’z: You're mean for putting Maple Chogokin as last!

Hiro: No no no. *laughs* The marriage rush is insane, right... Right... Insane right... 

Fan: Do you want to get married?

Hiro: ...I don't wanna get married. 

Crowd: Eh???

Hiro: Do you? Someday, I assume. As for me, I don't wanna get married at all. 

Kid’z: *in a teasing tone* Is it because you don't have a partner?

Hiro: *taunting tone* Ha? Ha? Ha? What the hell are you saying, you.

Kid’z: Ah, sorry we had a little quarrel.

Hiro: Let's get a divorce first!

Kid’z: What the hell is this breakup!

Poor Nob

Photo by Takashi Konuma | Taken from Hiro’s IG post

Hiro: Anyway, are we good? You (Nob) still seem nervous. How are his fingers?

Kid’z: They're tender. 

Hiro: If I had to play it in a room like this, I'd be pissed.

Nob: *strums a tune*

Kid’z: It's that song!! It's definitely that song, right? Can you do it, Nob bear? Are you alright? You practiced last night without sleeping.

Kid’z: Give him your support.

Crowd: Cute!! You can do it!!!

Kid’z: The pressure on you is rising, huh.

Hiro: *in an old man voice* You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!

Kid’z: Eh? What was that voice? Father?

Hiro: *taunting tone* Ha? What the hell are you saying. Who you calling father, come home and I'll kill you.

Kid’z: Ah, sorry. Father, I apologize.

Hiro: to Nob You okay? Dududadududa~ (T/N: the intro of LET IT DIE) The last song for the acoustic session. Please listen, LET IT DIE.

Then, Hiro crouched down from his seat and kneeled, looked at Nob closely, and so did Kid’z. Nob stared back, aced the dududadududa intro and everybody clapped for him! However, Nob made a mistake towards the very end, playing the last string of notes twice. When they were walking back to the main stage, Hiro put his arm around Nob and teased in a mocking tone, "Hey, in LET IT DIE, in LET IT DIE, hey, during the acoustic set, hey, I was satisfied with the beginning, but in the middle of the song, hey, you made a mistake, right? Even if you were doing so well." When they got back to the main stage, Nob bowed down in apology.

Weight of my pride MC

Hiro: Your voice has been heard! There were a lot of requests for PTP, and in my heart, PTP is my eternal hero. It shouldn't be just us; so that he can also hear your voices, shout as loud as you can Kobe!!! Next song is called Weight of my pride!

Check out their version of the performance at Saitama Super Arena here:

モノクロエフェクター MC

Hiro: How are we doing Kobe? I thought everyone in Kobe could handle it, you know? Aren't y'all drinking too much milk tea? Your nipples are gonna become tapioca if you drink too much milk tea, you know? Well, if you're sure you're not drinking too much then you should be able to handle it, so let's all dance together!!

Reviver MC

Hiro: Thank you so much for today! It's been a great day, I'm really grateful. I've always been alone. I've lost so many people I didn't want to lose, and I've let go of things I didn't want to part with many times. I might not be able to change the world with music, but because of music, I met the members, I met all of you, and it made me think that my life was pretty impressive. I want to believe it was my destiny to meet all of you here tonight, so let's keep walking together Kobe!!!

With You MC

Hiro: Thank you so much for today, Kobe!!! After this, the tour will be ending soon. Thinking about it makes me sad, but knowing that you will all be supporting us next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, and even after 10 years makes me feel very grateful. But there's one thing I want to say before today ends: Kobe, I love you!!!

THE OVER MC

Hiro: How was it? MFS' UVERworld. Did I become Hiroki∞? This song was really difficult. The way the lyrics jump, especially during the part before the last chorus.

Kid’z: I didn't learn that note.

Hiro: *emphasizes the difficult enunciation of a line from the song* Unbelievable, I had a hard time remembering it.

Kid’z: The instruments were tough, too. Even Nob was complaining, there were notes he had never seen before.

Hiro: I couldn't match the timing of the lyrics either. I had to enter at an exact time, 3 characters in one second!! If MFS were to do it, we'd go with a lower key.

Kid’z: You say MFS but it's your key, right? Your voice is hella loud you know.

Hiro: It's because if I'm alone, then it's not MFS.

Kid’z: Nah, we were able to match the key, but only you can sing it that high, right? (T/N: They seemed to have raised the key by 2 octaves)

Hiro: You guys thought the cover song was only Weight of my pride, didn't you? You're wrong! We did UVERworld but we received many other requests. There were a lot of PTP songs in the tags. Who else was it... Sheena Ringo, Oral, and King Gnu too.

Kid’z: Weirdly enough, B'z was highly requested too. 

Hiro: It'd be weird if I sang their songs.

Crowd: Sing! Sing! Sing!

Hiro: 萎えぇぇ！萎えぇぇ！萎えぇぇぇぇー (T/N: Nae is Japanese slang that roughly translates to “no” or “ugh” in this context) Wait a minute. Change the song.

Kid’z: *offended tone* Huh?

Hiro: Well then, sing a line that starts with A!

Hiro: You're an Ultra Soul Idiot. Do you know any other song apart from Ultra Soul?

Kid’z: Of course I do! Don't you? All of you? I love them more than anyone else, I'm even in the fanclub! こいよ！！

Kid’z: *sings a B'z line that starts with A*

Hiro: Gi!

Kid’z: Gi? *sings a line that starts with Gi* I told you, I can do anything.

Teru: Yu!

Kid’z: Yu? YUME JANAI ARE MO KORE MO SONO TE DE DOA MO AKEMASHOU, SHUKUFUKU GA HOSHII NARA KANASHIMI O SHIRI HITORI DE NAKIMASHOU, SOSHITE KAGAYAKU ULTRA SOUL!

Crowd: HEY!!!

Hiro: Oi, Teruki!! Why did you say "yu"?! You should've let him build up first before making him sing "yu"!! It was too early to make him sing that as the third song!

Kid’z: It felt really good!!

Hiro: Why did you say "yu" so quickly?!

Teru: I just made a mistake.

Hiro: Don't be an airhead!!

Kid’z: I'm really grateful!

Nob’s Redemption Arc

After their UVERworld cover, Hiro asked the audience what they should do next. The crowd started screaming different songs, to which Hiro said "I'm seriously fine with anything." Nob suddenly played the first three notes of LET IT DIE, to which Hiro said, "Ah, from earlier?" Kid'z said, "He made a mistake a while ago, so let's give him another chance." Then Nob started practicing. The crowd screamed, "You can do it!!!" then Nob walked towards the center stage and did a moonwalk. Hiro was all, "You can't do it, you're not Michael Jackson!" then sang a MJ line and howled his signature "Woo!"

Final MC

Hiro: Today was truly an amazing day, thank you all so much. We had such an intense gathering here at Kobe World Memorial Hall. The first Coming Kobe was also held here. We have so, so, so many memories here in this place. Right now, we're still on our way to reaching our dream. From hereon, we don't know if we could make such a big dream come true. We still have a long way there, but we're doing our best every year, making music for everyone and visiting various places as well. Next year, and the year after that, and even after 10 years, it would be nice if we could all make amazing memories together. Thank you so much! We're definitely coming back, Kobe!!
