[deus-ex-mona]

an attempted tl of some things from this live report~~~

Aizo: The wild(?) guy of LIPxLIP. His image colour is yellow. According to Yujiro, on the day of the concert, he had started to practice the call and response bits in “Oshi no Mahou” from the moment they entered the venue.

A Message for the Julieta who had Attended the Concert:

Aizo: Thanks a bunch for coming, Julieta!! The contract that you made with us will never be broken for as long as we live, so let’s stay connected forever and ever.

Yujiro: The cool(?) guy of LIPxLIP. His image colour is blue. According to Aizo, he watches videos of rabbits as he likes soft and fluffy objects.

A Message for the Julieta who had Attended the Concert:

Yujiro: I hope that it had been a wonderful concert that will stay in your hearts and minds forever. The two of us will never forget that dreamlike moment either. Thank you, Julieta.

An Exclusive Interview with LIPxLIP!

Q: What was the most memorable part of the concert?

Aizo: It’s been a while since we last got to perform at a concert where we could cheer as much as we wanted, but it felt super amazing when we did that perfect call and response with everyone! I’m certain that I was the one who had the most fun at the venue (laughs).

Yujiro: I can vividly recall the sounds of cheers and the sights of the smiles on everyone’s faces from the very moment we began to sing our first song, Chocokano. The way the sea of penlights illuminated our Julieta had truly been a beautiful sight.

Q: Give us the inside scoop on the concert!

Aizo: After both performances had ended, I heard Yujiro sniffling a little. He seemed to be holding it in to avoid getting caught, but I’m pretty sure that he was crying.

Yujiro: What are you talking about? Your voice sounded pretty stuffy too, Aizo. You kept wiping your sweat, claiming that it was hot, but you were actually wiping your tears away, weren’t you?

Q: Please give a message to your Julieta.

Aizo: Our performances have yet to end! For the sake of seeing your smiles, Julieta, we’ll continue to deliver many new songs to you from here on out.

Yujiro: I hope that we’ll be able to meet the Julieta who couldn’t make it to this concert someday. The both of us, as LIPxLIP, will do our very best with our combined efforts to make that happen, so please continue to support us, okay?

Their 4th song, Meoto, was also another song that they had performed for the first time at this concert. It is a love song about a husband and wife whose love story had begun with their political marriage. In the music video, Yujiro starred in the role of the wife, and Aizo was cast as the husband, who happened to be a horned demon.

As I watched with bated breath, wondering how it would be performed live, the intro to the song began to play, and at that moment, I saw that Aizo had wrapped his arms around Yujiro’s back, and he looked to be embracing him?!

And thus the ephemeral yet bewitching world where no one else existed but just the two of them began to unfold…! Beneath the red stage lighting, the wife and husband gradually opened their hearts to each other. Yujiro, who had drawn from his experience in kabuki training, delivered a gorgeous performance in the role of the woman, which was beautiful down to the tiniest of his gestures. Aizo, on the other hand, had sealed off his usual smiles to play his role of an awkward, taciturn husband.

Like, how could your heart not pound at the actions of a husband gently draping a haori over his wife’s shoulders out of worry for her health, with the scene playing out as if it was synched up with the lyrics of the song? No, of course it would.

They exchanged passionate gazes, joined their hands, cupped each other’s cheeks, and, as the icing on the cake, they had even choreographed a kiss…!! Make no mistake, they have captivated their Julieta with their love story in Meoto.

A Sneak Peek of Their Emcee Portion

Yujiro: Ah right, Aizo started practising the call and response from Oshi no Mahou from the moment we arrived at the venue, isn’t that right?

Aizo: Well it’s fine, right?! I was looking forward to doing it after all. We haven’t had many songs with calls and responses, right? I think it’d be weirder if you weren’t looking forward to doing it at the concert.

Yujiro: But you kept looking at me and asking “What is it, what is it~?”, even though I didn’t say anything, didn’t you?

Aizo: You should’ve just gone along with it! Since there are two of us here, y’know! This guy over here just ignored me even when I said “Take this! It’s the Magic of your Idol!”, y’know?

Yujiro: It’s because I’m not a fan of you, Aizo.

Aizo: Geez, you’re so not cute! You were the one who was going all “I wonder if I look more cunning like this.” in front of the mirror for ages.

Yujiro: Well, of course. I have to show our Julieta the best parts of myself at all times. You there who’s waving your penlight, and you from all the way over there, you’ve fallen even more in love with me, haven’t you? (*Fanservices with a finger heart*)

Aizo: That’s no fair! Take this! It’s the Magic of your Idol from me too! Thank you! But come to think of it, Meoto is also a song with a fresh concept from our usual songs, right?

Yujiro: It sure is. I especially like our music video for it, since it allowed me to show off everything I had learned to do thus far. You were captivated by me too, weren’t you, Aizo?

Aizo: Well, you looked really good for sure, and I think you looked beautiful.

Yujiro: Eh? …Thanks. Ah, you had a different vibe than usual too, and you looked really cool yourself, Aizo.

Aizo: R-really…? Well, I guess so…!

Yujiro: But you did receive a warning from our costumer because you kept bumping into all sorts of things with your horns, right?

Aizo: Wha… Well I couldn’t help it, y’know! I couldn’t get a good grasp of my spatial awareness with the horns on. I’m really, truly, sorry for what happened back there, costumer! (*Bows repeatedly towards the wings of the stage*)

Yujiro: Ahaha.
