Encore

Commander returned to the stage after we shouted 「Jäger」again.

Commander: Thank you everyone. I underestimated everyone from the Ichihara branch. I didn’t expect you to start shouting 「Jäger」before the 321 countdown.

Commander: There were almost no MC during the main concert, we kept a very fast pace until the end. So we hope to conduct the encore in a relatively more relaxed manner~ (Audiences cheered) Before that, where are the P-seats until?

(P-seaters raised their hands in the audiences)

Commander: There was a questionnaire for P-seaters this time, it was for you to choose a song. The one chosen for Ichihara concert was 《Nikagetsugo no Kimi e (To You in Two Months) 》. This was your unanimous… no, it was not unanimous, it was chosen by majority rules. Only in this concert will it be fully per your wishes. If 《Nikagetsugo》appears too frequently the in the future, we might adjust it. But what is this for?

Commander: We frequently do interesting things for SH. For LH, this time I want to concentrate on doing music… not that I don’t concentrate on doing music for SH! No! Just that SH still need other things like acting skills and such! So this time I want to try something refreshing for LH.

Commander: There are various types of sounds in the songs. This time, even though I want to make it as simple and easy to understand as possible, there will always be a limit to that, I can’t concede further after lowering to a certain extend. Personally, I, too, hope you can hear the love I pour into making it yourself. Should I say it’s S-ish (TN:…sadistic), I also don’t want to underestimate you all too much. Perhaps that’s why the CD doesn’t sell much. A lot of adjustments are made now, for all the sound to be tweaked just right, hoping all the various sounds can be conveyed. But everyone has their preferences, some prefer it to be more like rock music, some prefer the sound of strings, so you may feel that there are some sounds you really want to listen to closely, but you just can’t hear it well. So this time we prepared this segment, remixing the songs chosen by the votes live. You make take this chance to clearly listen to parts of the songs that sounds unclear originally.

Commander: But one song is very long, so likely only half will be played. We will try it today, if everyone here reacts positively, then we will continue this segment. If all of you find it rather uninteresting, then this segment might be gone by the time we are in Tokyo. To prevent that from happening, I will do my best as well.

Commander: Then I will choose someone….. there in the second row! You with the glasses! In 《To You in Two Months》Which instrument do you most want to hear?

(The chosen one was completely caught off guard, and was stuck for a long time)

Commander: Yes, P-seats are the seats that you pay to be force into uncomfortable situations!

(The audiences shouted \Do your best--!/ together. The chosen one hesitated for a long time, then said 「Drums」)

Commander: Alright, Drums. The staff are making the preparations now. There’s no way to prepare for this beforehand, only after hearing your answers do the staff members hurriedly arrange the preparations.

- DJ Revo -

Very soon, the staff pushed a Mixer onto the stage. The front of the Mixer has the LH logo printed on it.

Audiences \Oh oh---?/

Commander: An instrument of civilization!

Then, the staff set up the mic stand beside the Mixer (He can’t hold the mic because his hands will be on the mixer) Commander went behind the mixer.

None of the audiences could suppress their laughter… Someone said \Looks a lot like a school principle--/

(The mixer looked like a podium, once he stood behind it he almost looked like he was about to give a speech)

Commander: Hm? …… This isn’t new, right?

(The image of Revo-Sensei behind the podium had already appeared on the 2013 Gomen-T)

Commander: I look like a DJ right

(Then he started to sway as if to the rhythm of music)

Commander: The sound of drums is coming in–– It’s coming in –– So let’s give it a check ––

(The prelude to Nikagetsugo begins)

Commander: Yes good the sound is there. Next, let’s raise the sound of the drums a bit ––

Then he started playing around with it. Bringing this sound up~ bring that sound down~ Making the drums louder~ softer~ removing all the accompaniment, leaving only his own voice reverberating~ Making his voice louder, softer, louder softer loudersofterloudersofterloudersofter …… He was too High from the fun he was having and halfway through the equipment suddenly ceased functioning. It paused for a while. Thereafter he only left the drums and the voice playing, and even then, he still cut the voice right when it was about to get lit.

Commander: This is how I can normally play around with it. All sorts of different versions could be created in this way. But it’s usually not ideal to overemphasise a particular instrument like this, as I still hope to present the various sounds together. With this segment, lots of different versions will be born from this tour (It will be remixed in a new way as specified in every concert.)

Commander: Next up will be the encore everyone is waiting for. But actually, LH don’t really have that many songs…… How many years has it been? 5 years? I can’t even really remember. Simultaneously doing SH and LH and SH and LH and also going on the radio occasionally… There really isn’t many CDs despite it being five years. Perhaps it will be more substantial by its 10th year anniversary? But this is the only aspect I can’t improve on my own. Please offer me jobs –– (Slight bow)

Commander: Aside from LH, there were lots of songs written for the SH side. Even though this time, the LH tour is to lower the entry barrier, welcoming those who didn’t know us at all, there will still be some who came here from the SH side. For those familiar with SH, if you hear songs from SH, you may feel “Ah! I can’t believe I heard songs from SH today, I’m super lucky”. For those unfamiliar, after you listen to the songs, I hope you will feel that “Eh, the other songs from the Sunglasses-ojisan are also not bad”. So there will also be a few songs from SH this time.

Commander: After all, aside from the songs included in CDs, there are also some songs from SH that are currently not for sale.

(……Wait? Wait a second?? Encore will include songs from SH that are not being sold??? What is it it couldn’t be new songs??? That’s impossible, this is still the opening show there couldn’t be new CD in the next half a year? So what is it, the Live-only songs? If it’s a Live-only song won’t that be the song by a certain golden haired falsely similar person first revealed at this exact venue six years ago……) (TN:… took me a few seconds to realise the dubious falsely similar person they refer to is probably… Idofried… no wonder the author’s reservations…. X”D)

Commander: Anyways, let’s allow the band members to come up first.

The band members came up one after another, and the fangirls below were shouting: JUNJI––! YUKI––! Acchan––!! While waving their hands. Members on stage also waved a little.

Commander (stood aside and watched for a while): There will be member intro segment later~

Only then did the audiences calm down.

Commander: 「It will be interesting to let this person sing this song」 It’s with this thought that I wanted to have this person sing the next song –– As for which song is it, let’s leave it as a pleasure of discovery once the song begins.

(……It’s apparent that it won’t be a Revocal song. So they are letting one of the singers from this concert cover an SH song, who will it be ––)

Encore 1: Kimi ga Umarete kuru Sekai (The World You will be Born Into)

The sound of water could be heard the moment the prelude started, and the bubbles effect that were used during the 10th Anniversary concert (Can be seen in The Assorted Horizon) appeared on screen.

( ––AaaaaaaaAAAAHHHHH?!)

The singer who came on stage was Eiko Matsumoto. The one who sang 《14 Lettered Message》as Eren’s mother.

(It is??! Actually this person singing this song?!?! Wait that’s too unexpected?!? Reasonable?!?!)

Everyone screamed. (Then quickly quietened down)

All the narrations were done by Eiko Matsumoto herself, none of it was cut. Her singing was very steady. The narrations were also not bad. The actions were the same as the ones for the 10th anniversary included in TAH. It was very good.

After she finished the song, Commander came up again.

Commander: 《Kimi ga Umarete kuru Sekai》, the CD that included this song is no longer being sold. (––Wait weren’t you just advertising to people! You were getting them interested, but then the first song that comes up is one they can no longer purchase!)

Audiences immediately: \Rerelease please!!!!!/

Commander (Completely ignoring audience’s request for rerelease): Live is a singularly unique encounter between us, please remember that when you leave. Perhaps you can only listen to this song this one time, and you will never hear it again in the future.

\Ehh––/

Commander: Ah, but since there’s already been effort put into rehearsing it, it will probably be performed again in the future.

Commander: The song just now was sang by Ms Matsumoto, it’s definitely suitable! Although the world view is different and the original song was not entirely from the perspective of a mother, this song is still very sad, and contains the emotion of a woman to her child. There are a lot of commonalities in terms of atmosphere.

Commander: There are still two more songs after this. We can’t keep singing SH songs since it’s a LH tour right. Although LH doesn’t have a lot songs, aside from Shingeki songs, there’s were also songs written for a game called Bravely Default, although we didn’t organize a tour for it then. It’s the first game in the Bravely series, and actually, the second game doesn’t include Sunglasses-ojisan anymore. But there shouldn’t be anyone who will start playing from the second game in a series right! Start playing from the first game!

Commander: For next song, I also felt that「It will be interesting to let this person sing this song」. It’s like a cover of the song.

Encore 2: Hinadori [Vocalized Version] (Fledgling)

As if psychic, I anticipated the song and singer before the song started! (V)

Sung by Misaki Fukunaga. (《Cold Coffin》，Annie)

She sang Edea’s song from BDFF. Regardless if it’s quality or texture of her voice, or the content of the lyrics, It’s! All! Very! Fitting!

There’s 「Black or White?」in the lyrics. Will it actually be 「Black」or「White」? It’s a song that’s very fitting for Annie’s POV. The actions are also the same as in RLBDC. Even the actions for the singer when bandmembers where showing off their skills were the same. The only difference was the set of actions towards the end, Fukunaga performed Annie’s fighting actions. It was super cool and super impressive.

After it’s over Commander came up. On his way up he was carrying the concert pamphlet against his chest, and he walked backwards onto the stage like that. \?????? wwwwww/ What is this inexplicably adorable creature.

Commander: The song that was just performed was from BDFF. It’s game music. It’s collected in an Elbum (Mispronounced)… No! AL! BUM! called 《Luxendarc Daikikou》.

Commander: It actually started with the original game music, then on the basis of the game sound track, we added Vocalization.

Commander: It was sang very well. This song is very high, not everyone can sing it. You can try to sing it, not everyone can sing such a high note on demand. Oh but actually, you have all sang it before? Like when you all were just born? The kind like “UAHUAHHH––”.

Commander: Let’s do the member intro next. You can now fully appreciate Aniki and all. Initially the member intro were always very with one sentence per person, but let’s ease it up this time. Let’s do it in the form of a Talk.

Commander: What am I holding in my hands~ It’s (Holding the pamphlet in one hand for the audience to see, with his eyes on the cover, and in the tone of Doraemon introducing his gadgets): 「Linked Horizon Live Tour 2017 Shingeki no Kiseki pamphlet——」

Commander: And! It’s actually being sold outside now! Some of you may not know, it is being sold!

Commander: In it, one of the questions in the members interview was who was their favourite Shingekyo character. Let’s invite the members to have a more detailed conversation around this topic now. But there’s quite a few of them who wrote 【Secret】, I would like to dig a bit more today.

- Member Intro -

There’s too much going on, so I will only share a bit of the important (funny) parts that still left an impression on me.

Commander: Let’s start from the singers. The first one, MANAMI

MANAMI came out flapping her wings… no, flapping her arm with tassels on the sleeves. Seeing this, commander started humming 《Swan Lake》: 「dun~ dundundundundun~ dundun~ dundun~ dundundundundundun~」 Upon hearing it MANAMI also switched to ballet steps as she came up. As MANAMI flaps her wings… arms, commander also started flapping his wings… no, arms with tassels on the sleeves.

Commander: We are the same~ So happy that we are so like-minded~ (Two of them flap flap flapping together)

What is this adorable bird creature x2

Commander: MANAMI said her favourite character is Sasha. MANAMI: I really relate to how she can eat a lot. I participated in some sort of eating competition in the past, finishing 30 plates of sushi and 30 stick of skewered food to win 10 000 yen. And after I was done I felt like I still had the stomach for more. Commander: I think you can totally pursue this field. MANAMI: I used to play basketball, I could eat a lot more then than I do now! So when I see Sasha it’s like seeing a reflection of myself.

Commander: The second one is Tsukika. Commander: How many plates of sushi can Tsukika eat? Tsukika: ……30 plates are way too many. Commander: Tsukikia’s favorite character is Nanaba. Oh Nanaba. Her younger brother will be called 「Hachiba」.

\......Pffffttt (snickering)/

(…… The “nana” in Nanaba is homonymous with 7.. so “7ba”’s brother is “8ba”… such a cold joke. So cold!)

Commander (Seemingly well prepared to anticipate that nobody would find it funny, he started making the scissors hands gesture): Okay cut! Commander: Oh this (Snip snip) means that this part should be cut from the DVD.

\There’s DVD––?/

Commander: But actually for today’s show, there might not be anyone recording it at all.

(We all believed him, because it’s the opening day, and there had never been videos generated from opening days in the past, so it’s very likely not recorded. In thE END! LIAR! Can’t believe there is the opening show digest video after that! WHO SAID THERE WEREN’T ANYONE RECORDING!)

Tsukika: From a female’s perspective, Nanaba is very handsome. Even though I can’t tell if they are male or female. They are just very handsome! Commander: That’s true, there’s a lot of character in Shingeki whose genders are ambiguous. Isayama-sensei mentioned before that it’s okay to perceive them as either male or female. Tsukikia: I think that Hanji is a guy. Commander: The important thing is the character’s spirit and their way of living. Gender doesn’t matter. Hanji is just Hanji!

Commander: Next is Mami Yanagi. Mami Yanagi: Hi everyone, it’s been a while. Commander: Mami Yanagi’s favorite is Mikasa. She also repeatedly emphasized her liking during the last tour (Referring to Jiyuu e no Shingeki Talk & Live in 2013). Mami Yanagi: I still love her now! (Completely in a fangirl state) Mami Yanagi: The last episode in the second season was so cruel to Mikasa. I want be wrapped by the scarf–– no, I wanted to wrap the scarf around her!! Commander (Imitating Eren): 「 I’ll wrap that around you as many times as you want」

Then it’s Eiko Matsumoto.

Commander: Her favourite is Carla. Matsumoto: Yes, I can’t help being drawn into the character. Because I also have a 10-year-old son. Commander: Yes, that’s the standard I used to choose singers. Matsumoto (Shocked): You must be lying?! Commander: I’m lying–– Matsumoto: Revo-san didn’t research me right?! Commander: No no. I chose based on sensing how this person’s voice will really suit this song. Matsumoto (Still recovering from the shock): I thought you found out from my Wiki page. Matsumoto: When Carla said 「Don’t go」, that was her most sincere feelings. Matsumoto: The lyrics for 《14 lettered》will make people wonder 「Perhaps Revo-san has children?」

\?!?! (Commotion)/

Commander: Mentioned before that perhaps I was a mother in my past life~ Gave birth to around a hundred children.

He was so careless about it wwwwwwwww

Thereafter it’s Misaki Fukunaga.

Commander: Favourite is Sasha. Ah it’s the second time someone picked Sasha. She is so popular. Fukunaga: When Sasha first appeared, she always spoke very politely. Initially I thought that was her character, I didn’t expect to see her pounced onto the food once it appears. Commander: In the second season there were interesting aspects focused on Sasha. The scene of the mother being munched by the Titan. The part where she just returned home to discover the mother being munched munched munched. （もっちゃもっちゃされた） Fukunaga: I really like Annie as well. But if I have to pick a favourite, it is still Sasha.

Then it’s all the dancers.

Commander: Next is Ayu Hosoki. For Nein, she was the one displaying the bread in the bread shop (Striking the pose of holding the bread) Commander: Favourite is Mikasa Hosoki: Mm, I like the sound of her name.

Commander: Next is Yosuke Sato. Very handsome. For Nein, he was the 「Single nighhawk~」(A solo dance in《Shokumotsu》) Commander: His answer was 「Will answer after rereading」。Which part are you at now？ Sato: I’m now on the second book now. At this stage, the one I am most attached to should be Mikasa. She is very strong, pretty, but also pitiful. I want to protect her well.

Commander: Next is OBA. The Abnormal among the dancers. (He acted as the Abnormal in《Daishou》) Commander: For Nein, he was 「the one in the food chain that writhed and collapsed in some very powerful posture after being shot, and then even became a worm.」 Commander: The answer written was 「Can’t be sure」. What about now? OBA: I guess Abnormal. As a dancer there are a lot of aspects that is worth learning. Every movement is very worth leaning Commander: For ordinary people like us, the most we can do is imitate human movements. But for OBA-kun’s level, he can already gain experience from animals or even insects.

Commander: The next one is Akane Takasugi. In Nein, he is the one at 「The flower bloomed, and was scattered」(The part around 4:19 in《Kotonoha》). The dance was very sexy at that part. Commander: Answer was 「Secret」。 Takasugi: Can I keep it a secret? Commander: No. Takasugi: Then it’s…… Heichou. Commander: What do you like about Heichou? Takasugi: His cold gaze! Commander (Imitating Heichou’s way of speaking, keeping his voice low, biting his pronunciations):「You bastard（このクソが）…！」「What is this situation（これどういう狀況だ）」

\(Bursting with laughter)/

Commander: Aah it’s so fun to act as Heichou.

I forgot which dancer was it at.

Commander: The dancers are so strong. If it’s me, just one song like《Nikagetsugo》will be enough for my legs to start cramping.

Then it’s the musicians.

The first was YUKI.

Commander: Favourite is Hanji. YUKI: It was completely coincidental at first, I can’t help paying attention because our hairstyles are similar. Then when I saw her drooling when she sees the Titans, I really relate to that. I really like things like temples and castles and such, and when I see them, I will be holding Chu-hi (A fizzy fruit alcohol under Kirin) in one hand while drooling. Commander (Imitating Hanji’s overexcited tone at seeing a Titan): 「WoOO~~~~~~WOAHH~~~~~THIS SHRINE IS TOO AMAZING~~~~~~~」Like this? YUKI: Yes yes.

Commander: After Hanji it’s Junji! Commander: He said he likes all the Titans. Junji: Yes, I like every one of them. Commander: Every one? There’s always that one special Titan right. Junji: It’s impossible to neglect the Abnormals, I want to follow them. But actually, compared to the gigantic Titans, the 2,3 meter ones feel the scariest. They are closer to humans. Commander: Is it because when you see the ones around 3 meters, you feel like you can defeat them if you just try a little harder. Junji: It’s impossible! Junji: All the Titans have that smile on their faces, it feels really creepy. Commander: But you like it. Junji: I like it.

Next is Atsushi Hasegawa.

Commander: Acchan’s favourite is Reiner. Acchan: Yes, he seems very brave. He feels sort of like an older brother. His personality is also very earnest, he only became like that (mental breakdown) because he is overtly sincere. Commander: That’s because Acchan is also a very earnest person. Acchan: I’m not that earnest?! Acchan: And the Armoured Titan is very cool. Like a robot. Commander: Yes, the Armoured Titan was exceptionally cool when it first appeared. It was like Woosh (Poses like when the Armoured Titan was going to start dashing)

Next is Gen Ittetsu.

Commander: Gen Ittetsu said his favourite is Mitsuru Hanagata (Not a character from Shingekyo, but one from 《Kyojin no Hoshi (Star of the Giants)》)

Then the two began a heated discussion revolving around Star of the Giants. I have never watched so I can’t keep up with their conversation, I had no idea what they were talking about. The two were engrossed in their own world for quite a while before returning.

Gen Ittetsu: I happened to be very busy during the tour pamphlet interview period. So, I just answered randomly. So that’s what I said.

Next its members from Gen Ittetsu Strings.

Commander: Aside from Gen Ittetsu, I still want to ask the members of the Strings. But there are a lot of people in the Strings, so I’ll ask one person for each concert. This time it will be –– Cameroon Maki. Commander: Maki’s answer was not published in the pamphlet. So we can only listen to it live! Maki: I have only watched 3 episodes of Shingeki so far. For now, rather than favourite, the character I am most attached to is Keith. I am attached to his role as a teacher. Commander: Such a shiny bald head. Maki: A very strict instructor, his words are very stern and severe. This makes him very endearing, I do have such a strict person around me.

As he said this he looked at Gen Ittetsu beside him. Gen Ittetsu looked around as though unaffected and he wasn’t talking about him.

\wwwwwww/

Commander: Keep watching! Instructor Keith still has an important role later!

Next is Takeshi Nishiyama

Commander: He likes Ymir. Aniki: The timeline for the original Shingekyo manga is quite confusing. I went and reread it for Shingeki no Kiseki, and I had a lot of new emotions when rereading it with the impression I got from the CD. Recently I feel like I’m getting old and my memories are deteriorating, I only realized Ymir’s story was already at the start of the fifth book when I went to reread it. Aniki: Being able to write such a song from such a short story, Revo-san is really amazing this way. Commander: There were a lot of characters in the original manga, among them some died soon after they debuted. Commander: Only Isayama-sensei knows the exact follow up for a lot of characters. There are a lot to look forward to. Commander: There are also some members who just started reading it. Perhaps by the end of the tour, everyone will become professors of Shingekyo.

The last one is Koji Ikarashi

Commander: Rashi’s favorite is Armin. Commander: This time, I will pick a musician for every concert to dedicate a performance to their favourite character. It will be Rashi today. Rashi: For Armin. Commander: Sometimes it will become Gesumin (Gesu = lowlife/scumbag, this nickname originated from some of Armin’s expressions which Isayama drawn really twisted and ugly)

Then, Ikarashi played Chopin’s Fantaisie Impromptu.

Yes, the Fantaisie Impromptu everyone is familiar with.

The Fantaisie Impromptu from 《Yoiyami no Uta》!!

After he was done with one part..

Commander: This melody is truly very difficult. But if you can’t play this, you won’t be able to play the song 《Yoiyami no Uta》. Ikarashi: That’s true, and it needs to be played at 1.5 times the speed I played just now.

Then, using the crazier speed from 《Yoiyami no Uta》

He really played the part from 《Yoiyami》

He really played it!!!!

A certain Märchen fan seemed to have heard the sound of blessings!

Commander: The next song will really be the last song.

\Eh –– /

Commander: But you all should have anticipated it.

Commander: It can’t be helped. Time will always pass, people will ultimately die. But that is also the value of life. People don’t know when they will die, which is why they need to live on now undauntedly.

Commander: The last encore song is 《Youth Much like Fireworks》。

Commander: It’s also a song I wrote very, very seriously, but because it’s original purpose was paro, I very seriously, with my best efforts, joked around. It’s very cheerful and energetic（ワイワイ盛り上がる）. This song will include some actions (Singers demonstrated the actions), and then you need to jump. It’s okay if you can’t keep up, you can try to follow if you want to do it.

Commander: Bravo together with the Bravo-ojisan in the end! Give it all you’ve got!

Encore 3: Seishun wa Hanabi no Youni (Youth Much like Fireworks)

Su←per↓Cute↑

It might be a substitute for the 3 songs in the「Chou Uchu」series from SH, a song for jumping around.

Follow the jumping on stage. It’s indeed difficult to keep up without instructions (……

The lyrics appeared line by line on the screen, in the same style as in the BK. But it doesn’t match the speed of the music, it just appears line by line at an even pace.

- MC -

Commander: This is the end now. Everyone come and stand in front.

All the performers stood in a row.

Commander: It’s surprising when we stand in a row, there are so many people. There will be concerts with more people in the future, the special guests are not here yet either, wonder if we can still all fit in one row then.

Commander: Hope there will be more people joining us soon, and that we can perform for many others.

Commander: Thank you everyone for today ––

(All performers on stage bowed together to bring the show to an end)

Commander: Let’s offer up our hearts in the end. We took the liberty to create this Linhora Corps setting, and we will take another liberty here, when you salute, shout「Jäger」.

Commander: Offer up your hearts!

\(Everyone salutes) Jäger!/

After expressing their thanks and clapping, all the performers left. In the end, Commander came up alone to do the final MC as usual.

Commander: You have offered up your hearts.

Commander: What should you offer your heart to? There are a lot of things you can dedicate to in life. There are a lot of times you need to fight. Even if the opponents are not titans, you will still need to fight. Fighting with sad things, fighting with painful things. But you can definitely overcome them. And life will go on. Music have this power. Even though there are sad songs as well, I hope I can support all of you with music. When you want to improve your mood, listen to music, and you will feel better, I hope my music can achieve this.

Commander: There were quite a few members who had never performed before today, everyone were actually really nervous. But you were all very encouraging, there were no sense of remoteness at all. Thank you very much, for watching over us with such warmth.

As he said this, Commander did a 90-degrees deep bow.

Audiences clapped.

Commander: Everyone here, perhaps I will have the chance see some of you again, if you come for concerts again. The encore will be different every time, so please look forward to the future concerts.

Commander: During the last concert, it ended after 《Guren no Yumiya》was played. It will be the same this time, you can sing a bit of Karaoke before you leave. It is the second season this time, so of course it’s《Shinzou wo Sasageyo》

Commander: Of course, it’s without lyrics!

(For a moment I seemed to look through Commander and saw him being possessed by a certain tyrannical King)

Commander: But it’s okay if you make a mistake while singing it!

Then the commander left. When he was leaving he ran off like an Abnormal with a twist in his steps.

What is this adorable creature!

these are by far the most self-indulgent headcanons i have so of course this is gonna be super long and thus i will put it under a read more

i will just preface this with: i love sound horizon. if you’re interested, please check them out and/or talk to me!! i’m always willing to discuss it or answer any questions!!

so first off

sanhora elitist: saburo revo apologist: gentaro mostly here for the music: doppo, jyushi (is doppo here because totto sang hikari to yami? Absolutely Yes)

these are just the main four, who then recruit some other laurants aha

saburo’s into sanhora mostly due to his hipster complex, but he genuinely enjoys all the music and the stories and the theories behind him. THAT SAID, he is still a contrarian, and thus has opinions such as: the doujin era was waaaaaaaaaay better, it’s not the same without aramary, revo sold himself out, etc

gentaro is always ready to throw hands with saburo because of their differing opinions. he loves all of revo’s works (including linked horizon) and thinks him a musical genius (okay this is just me speaking, but seriously. gentaro’s works are sound horizon material --) and also loves how the stories are told through music and piecing together the theories.

conversations between saburo and gentaro are like:

saburo: revo sold himself out, which negatively impacted his works gentaro: excuse me. revo is a musical genius who puts a lot of thought into each and every note and lyrics -- saburo: yeah, have fun with your 55th snk linhora single gentaro: *rolling up sleeves*

doppo and jyushi are mainly into sound horizon because of the sound! though they love the softer ballads and whatnot, they love the symphonic rock stuff. jyushi, especially, considering his v-kei career. for doppo, the loud songs are really like stress relief?? he screams along with the screaming in the background jkfsjk

hifumi knows about sanhora through doppo. when they were in high school, sometimes they’d share ear buds while commuting, so whenever they were listening to doppo’s music, he’d play sanhora sometimes. whenever songs from märchen or moira played (especially märchen), doppo would be so nonchalant about all the screaming and stuff but hifumi would be like “doppo-chin this is so scary!! everyone’s screaming and dying!!” and doppo would be like “what about it”

later when he gets together with gentaro, hifumi takes to it more because gentaro’s more into albums like roman and nein (which have considerably less screaming LMAO)! gentaro and doppo bond over their shared interest and drag hifumi into watching the sanhora lives with them. hifumi fucking bawls at everything, like 11-moji no message, misia dying, elisabeth and märchen reuniting briefly, “mutti..... hikari attakai ne��, lenny dying, basically. Everything gdjjk

gentaro also gets dice into sanhora, mainly because dice heard him listening to some of the more rock-like songs and he was like “hey that sounds cool” and gentaro caught him in a vice grip like “Does It, Now” and basically converted him lol. while dice is mainly into it for the music, he does appreciate the story aspect of sanhora because it reminds him of gentaro’s works!

similarly, doppo introduces jakurai to sanhora because he overheard doppo listening to some songs and was interested in themes of life and death! he definitely appreciates the deeper meaning of the lyrics and the overall messages

okay so. because ishiya-san was in the video of totto singing hikari to yami, i also headcanon jiro as getting into sanhora. miku was in idoido/märchen, right, so jiro overheard saburo listening to it one day and was like “iS THAT MIKU??” and i also love the hc that jiro plays guitar, so along with miku, he really digs that rock stuff. saburo’s just like “are you even smart enough to understand what’s going on” and he’s just like “sHUT UP, you don’t gotta be smart to appreciate music --”

saburo’s fave album is thanatos. he likes the sorta supernatural, haunting feel of the album! chronicle is also up there (the original chronicle, not 2nd because 2nd is too popular gdkjjk even though he does like it too) because he likes the feeling of the instrumentals accompanied by the poems. if he had to pick a major era fave, it’d be märchen because of how it utilizes classical rock

gentaro’s fave albums are roman and nein, mainly because he loves how they focus on people as they live their lives and the positive outlook they have on humanity (never mind the fact that nein’s alternate realities are bad on a wider scale). as for doujin era, he likes lost because of how it deals with the uncertainties of peoples’ lives

doppo’s faves are halloyoru and märchen. märchen mainly because of totto LMAO, but he loves the dark fairytale theme and how loud it is and how it ultimately gives a lot of hope. halloyoru mainly because he relates to seamus/william (seriously “jinsei nante roku na mon ja nee” is such a doppo line lol) but also he likes how everything in the story ties together

jyushi’s fave is vanistar! am i saying this because he looks like an emo noël?? pretty much jkkjg but really though! considering his backstory with bullying, i think he would relate to noël a lot and take a lot of inspiration from him ;u;

dice and jiro’s fave is also vanistar! they love how it’s centered around rock, so it’s very like accessible to them! (also i see mother as a dice song somewhat... at least with my headcanons lol). dice also digs moira because it reminds him of stella somewhat lol, but the rockability is also really great there

jakurai’s faves are moira and roman. moira because it shows the ruins of humanity, but also the potential of it. roman because it focuses on the lives of different people, particularly with how life and death interplay with each other, so i think he’d be fascinated with these stories

hifumi doesn’t have a fave album per se? since everything’s so heavy for him though thematically, he’d probably like roman the best since it’s very uplifting. he’s mostly into songs here and there for the sound of them! he likes songs like stardust and yodaka no hoshi and yaneura dou, the more upbeat ones pretty much
