#iwate rex

[authorofthemoon]

Soooo I just did my second full run of Exocolonist and I am absolutely gutted. I did a pretty normal run, got the novelist ending, and I romanced Rex. And just like the ending said, I was absolutely gutted by what happens. I suspected it could have gone this way, but I assumed if I said I wanted to be exclusive, it would not do something like that (hell maybe it's the opposite and if I said I'd be open, we could at least be causally together in the end).

But after that ending and Dys's ending, I'm starting to wonder if all the romance endings end like this. Because each character has their own agency and especially since I really focused on friendship on multiple people, I can definitely see how each person would get away from you. Marz and Dys can't be tied down, Tang would throw herself into her work, maybe you can be part of Cal and Tammy's thing but I feel like something can go wrong there. Idk about Nomi but from what Ive seen they're aro/ace so maybe they're not even an option. Nem has like a lot of shit that can go wrong. Vace has so many fucking issues (also, is he redeemable in any sense bc I want to like him so bad but the more I learn about him the worse he becomes. I want to help him becaus I understand he's a product of his environment, but between what he did to Rex and what he ends up doing to Nem, its becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy Mr. Well Endowed, which I find absolutely hilarious btw).

It does make me kinda sad that a game that a very queer game really fucks ya on the romance options lmao. Maybe there are ways to have a 'happy ending' with these characters, but they all seem so traumatized that it's really difficult. Though I guess the idea of a happy ending is kinda antithetical to the game. I think they devs are trying to show that these characters are more than romance options and have wants and needs outside of you and from a writing perspective, I love that. Still, I hate that both of my endings have ended in heartbreak. As a gay man, it doesn't leave me feeling to good. Still the game is fantastic.

A hopeful warmth

[chron0ph0bia]

just finished my second playthorugh of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist and god i love this game so much. As someone who tries to not draw attention to the "alternative" parts of myself to the point most people don't know about them, it's so nice that everything is normalized in that game, like poly relationships and gender being a spectrum etc. It feels like I'm allowed to breathe. And it gives me more confidence to be more myself in my day to day life.

Teenage Exocolonist Kids: How would they be as Jedi?

Sol: Our nonbinary icon is THE Jedi, especially after Transcendence. Goes on a long multi-lifetime journey to learn to accept there are things they cannot change and tragedies they cannot avoid is PEAK Jedi story. Definetly Master/Councilor material

Tangent/Tang: Eh, Tangent would probably not be a very good Jedi when it comes to active duty. She struggles with empathy which is a core Jedi value, but I think Jedi training would help her come to terms with her identity in a very helpful way. Definitely a more "stays at the Temple and researches/debates" type Jedi than one who goes out on active field work.

Cal/Recalcitrance: My gentle, plant-loving pacifist husband is PRIME Jedi material! Definitely head of the AgriCorps and teaches the younglings about cool plants from across the Galaxy on his off days. Man is literally great for the role of a Jedi. He's a Master, but probably not on the Council as he has no patience for politics.

Nem/Anemone: Eh... I do not think Nem would be a very good Jedi. Too angry, too attached to the memories of her loved ones. Relaly I see her more as a nat-born soldier or a light-aligned Bounty Hunter who works with the Jedi, but doesn't really get them. Not to say she's bad, but if she were trained as a Jedi she'd probably Fall at some point. However, I do think she'd make her way back to the Light eventually, with help. But, I don't see my girl as a very good Jedi.

Dys/Dysthymia: Dys would be a good Jedi... but only in certain circumstances. Definitely a Jedi Shadow, but with how he fails to get along with others I can't see him doing traditional Jedi things. However, he does have an instinctive knowledge of letting go. But, I do see his inability to feel fear as a detriment. Jedi train to overcome their fear and at in spite of it, but since Dys can't feel fear, i feel he would be missing a key piece of Jedi education. Not good.

Marz/Marzipan: Marz, actually would be a GREAT Jedi! Granted, not a very conventional one, with her love of the spotlight and drive to succeed, I see her as the Jedi's Liason to the Senate, as one of the few of the Order with a head for Politics. This lady would have the Senate and the Media eating out of her hand, giving the Jedi a sterling reputation. While she struggles with passion in some cases, I think she could easily overcome it!

Tammy/Aspartame: Did someone say Creche MasteR? Because this lovely lady is a Creche-Master! She would not only be great at caring for the Younglings, she's treasure every moment of working with them and readying them for the journeys ahead. And is Definetly secretly a Master and a badass, she actively chooses not to kick people's asses. Peace and love, baby.

Vace/Olivaceous: Not a good Jedi. At all. Too proud, too full of ambition and vainglory to hack it as one of the Servants of the Republic. Probably a Mandalorian, honestly, and a neutrally aligned one. If he were to become a Jedi he would fall. Period. He's too much like Anakin, too focused on his own glory and power to understand the Jedi Way.

Nomi-Nomi/Nomination: I'm...honestly at a loss, here. I think Nomi would make a very... weird Jedi? But a good one, probably? They're definitely kind and compassionate enough to be a Jedi, but they struggle with attachment so... probably a mid-ranked Knight who's a Smash Hit with the Younglings. Probably the first Jedi Twitch Streamer.

Rex/Basorexia: Honestly? Rex'd be a good Jedi. No in-depth explanations here, just vibes. Definitely Jedi material

Rex, Honey, What are those.

[kurakurakura99]

its been months since I first played it but. That scene in IWATE, that you get for Romancing Rex. When he brings out the collar and YOU put it on and he's like, surprised but kinda into it. So nice that the game let me be the dog in that moment, the concept of like...Yeah he's the dog, like physically, he is the doggie boy, but I'm the puppy in bed? like, arf? Yeah that shit changed my entire trajectory and now I don't leave the house unless I'm wearing a big doggie collar.

JRock247: SCANDAL - Interview by Todd Nelson

Q: The current tour has been your largest yet, 53 shows covering all 47 prefectures in Japan. It has been fun following your tour experiences that you have shared on social media. For each of you, what has been your favorite activity out of all the places you have been to so far on the tour, whether it be a type of food or something you have done or attended?

Rina: I enjoy people coming to our shows in the local areas. In our free time in between shows, we like to enjoy whatever is happening in the area. In Kyoto, we tried Nagashi Somen (flowing noodles), and I dressed up as a maiko. We’re Japanese and we like to enjoy Japanese things in the local cultures.

Haruna: In Iwate prefecture, I had wanko soba (small cup of buckwheat noodles). You order them one cup at a time, and I ate 100 of them!

Tomomi: From all of our tours before, there were 4 prefectures we had never performed in. When we finally played at these prefectures on this tour and I saw our fans there, it made me very happy. I especially liked Kochi prefecture, the scenery is very nice. I had Yasube gyoza there which is very good. We also played golf in Kyoto.

Mami: I’ve done a lot of sight seeing. In Kyoto there are many power spots with a lot of energy. I visited them, the power there resets your heart. The feeling at the power spot is like seeing very beautiful scenery, refreshing and resetting your heart.

Q: One other activity I wanted to ask about, Rina-san in particular — it seemed like you really enjoyed the dinosaur museum. Do you have a favorite dinosaur?

Rina: Mmmm! When I was little, I watched Jurassic Park and thought the dinosaurs were really cool. My favorite is the T-Rex. The dinosaur museum is in Fukui prefecture, it’s the kind of place that would appear in Jurassic Park, it’s really big, a historic place, and something to be proud of. Even foreigners would really enjoy it, it’s so big and nice. There are many fossils in Fukui and foreigners would enjoy seeing those as well.

Q: On this tour you’re playing on average 3 lives a week over the course of a few months. This must require a lot of stamina and energy. How do you accomplish this?

Rina: We do a lot of training at the gym, and jogging to stay in good shape.

Q: Ah yes, I know you have participated in some ekiden events in Hawaii in the past.

SCANDAL: Ekiden! Hawaii, yes!

Rina: Every set list we change, so we feel that every show is different and very fresh to give us energy, so that we’re not repeating the same thing again and again.

Q: Your most recent release, BEST ALBUM [SCANDAL], is comprised primarily of songs that were voted by your fans as their favorites. Were there any songs among the favorites that surprised you?

Rina: The fans picked many, many songs from the past 11 years, from the very beginning, even when we were indies playing in the streets of Osaka until now. I can tell from the energy coming back from the songs when we play them live which ones are the favorites, so we weren’t surprised by any choices. We were very happy with all of them. This is a CD that many people who have never heard SCANDAL before will buy, and it will have songs from our early days, so that’s very cool. The selections for the CD really represent our music.

Q: Did your fan’s selections line up with your own favorites? Were any of the band’s personal favorites left out?

Mami: No, no songs that we hoped would make it to the final album were left out.

Haruna: We realized that the songs that we really like are also the songs that the fans really like, so everything was good.

Q: One of the new songs on the BEST ALBUM [SCANDAL], “Freedom Fighters”, really rocks! The lyrics speak of taking a stand for what one believes in. Was there anything that inspired this song and its message?

Rina: Of course rock-n-roll is protest, and we wanted to make a rock-n-roll type of song. That was one reason. This year Trump was elected. We played at the same concert hall in Paris where the terrorist attack happened, just a few months before, we were very surprised by that. The one year anniversary just came up. So a lot of things happened this year and many things are going to happen in the future. I wanted to tell the fans “Do what you want to do, follow your future, follow your dreams, make your own future, pick what you want to do and go that way.” That’s the message.

Q: On your most recent studio album, Yellow, the collection of songs is diverse in musical styles – pop, reggae, grunge, eastern influences – yet the songs flow together quite well. Was it a conscious decision when you were making this album to explore different styles?

Mami: We went on a world tour before we made this album and touched many cultures, places like Mexico where we had never been to before. So when we returned to Japan, we were influenced by all those experiences of touring around the world and that influenced the album.

Q: Are there any styles of music that you would like to experiment with in the future that you haven’t yet?

Rina: We’re pretty satisfied with the number of different musical styles that we touched upon in Yellow. For the next album we want to make a super rocking album, the kind of album that makes people want to come to the show!

Q: Every album is like that.

SCANDAL: (Laughing) Thank you.

Q: In August you have your 11th anniversary special coming up and it looks like this special event is going to be quite different than last year’s outdoor event. There is even a dress code for attendees. Are you able to share more details about this event yet?

Rina: The event will be comprised of two live shows back to back the same day, limited to 200 hundred attendees each. Alcohol and food will be served as well.

Haruna: We are collaborating with MTV for this event, which will be part of their Storytellers series. We will be the first Japanese band featured in the series.

Tomomi: This will be our most adult show. We wanted to try something new.

Q: I live in Austin, TX and attend Japan Nite at SXSW regularly so I wanted to ask you this question. SXSW 2018 will mark the 10 year anniversary of when you first played in America. In recent years artists such as Yoshiki and Perfume have played at large venues at SXSW. Is there any chance that SCANDAL may return to SXSW?

Mami: Ten years ago we were still minors and had not even toured Japan yet, and we were allowed to play as an indie band at SXSW. We don’t know if we will come back to SXSW, but we do want to come back to America and tour.

Q: Maybe you could go on a 50 states tour. (joking)

SCANDAL: (Laughing) 50 states!

Rina: It’s become more difficult economically doing one man shows in America now. We’re thinking maybe with local bands we can tour together in the future. We certainly want to come back.

Q: I know over the years SCANDAL has participated in a variety of collaborations with artists like Keiko Terada of SHOW-YA. Are there any artists that you’d like to collaborate with in the future?

Rina: We aren’t really thinking of any collaborations, the most important thing for us since the four of us are on stage at the same time is to continue to develop this group as a group that works together well, to cherish the relationship between the four of us, and to develop our songwriting together. That is more important than any song collaboration in the future. We’ve had collaboration experiences in the past on TV, but now our main focus is working together and making good songs together.

Q: What musicians or artists are you currently listening to?

Mami: I like the Foo Fighters. We saw them at Fuji Rock in 2015 when Dave Grohl was recovering from a broken leg and he performed from a throne made of guitars.

Haruna: Katy Perry. We also enjoy Coldplay.

Tomomi: We saw Coldplay at the Tokyo Dome. We also like Sting.

Q: Since Rina released a photo book within the past year, is that something that any of the other members would be interested in doing?

Haruna, Mami, Tomomi: No. We have no plans to make such a book.

Rina: We have been approached by a Japanese fashion magazine – S Kawaii. We have a corner in the magazine where we introduce our own tips on makeup and hairstyles, and things like that. It’s something I never thought about doing until we were invited, but we want to make a band that is not just musical, but really cool with the hair and the fashion as well.

Q: What are SCANDAL’s plans after the 47 prefecture tour and anniversary event?

Mami: We’ve done a lot of one man live shows, but in the future we’re thinking of doing shows with other bands as well. Doing small tours with other bands.

Rina: We’ve been writing songs during our 47 prefecture tour and we’ll continue to write material for our new album as we tour.
