sonic animation magic girls inspriation 

Admirable Daniel Boon Sonic 

A Short Story

by sonic animation squee spongo 

Daniel Boon Somic realised what his name ment, it was a play on word, ofr Sonic Boom, Daniel;s parents were into some hot chillie dogsz bakc when they were dating, and it had an affect on thier children, , for Daniel had a craving for mustard pickles, , they looked like giant slices planets to Daniel, the feel of a tomoatoe mustard dill pickle burger in his hands and felt ecstatic.

He walked over to the window and reflected on his noisy surroundings. He had always loved wild Upper Boggington with its smooth, sweaty swamps. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel ecstatic.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Chloe Cherez. Chloe was a mean saint with brown spots and tempting cheese.

Daniel gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was an admirable, controlling, hot cheese drinker with Band shirt day slogans and dorito seasoned lips. His friends saw him as a jolly, joyous juggler. Once, he had even revived a dying, song that was playignon the radio.

But not even an admirable person who had once revived a dying song, was prepared for what Chloe had in store today.

The drizzle rained like over flowing shushie mashies, making Daniel stressed.

As Daniel stepped outside and Chloe came closer, he could see the powerless glint in her eye.

Chloe gazed with the affection of 6994 spiteful green gerbils. She said, in hushed tones, “I love you and I want fresh sonic animation magical grrls inspiration.”

Daniel looked back, even more stressed and still fingering the giant book. “Chloe, d’oh! the Megamind took my shorts,” he replied.

They looked at each other with ambivalent feelings, like two bad, boiled blue bottles dancing at a very understanding birthday party, which had R & B music playing in the background and two modest uncles jumping to the beat.

Daniel regarded Chloe’s brown spots and cheese lips. “I feel the same way!” revealed Daniel with a delighted grin.

Chloe looked jumpy, her emotions blushing like a hilarious, hushed hawk.

Then Chloe came inside for a nice drink of hot cheese.

THE END

Compassion, hierarchy and misconduct. Let’s see how you do with those :3

update: now on ao3!! with updated grammar!!

shushi you should know by now that big words scare me /j. think i managed to think of a good idea for it, though!

warning for dehumanization and selling another sentient being,,

————————————

ranboo knows he shouldn’t be out here — if the palace finds out he went out into the town, he knows he’ll be in big trouble.

but.. it was just so…. boring in there.

nothing exciting ever happened, it was just tight schedules and meetings. he didn’t even have any friends, the closest he ever had was his older brother, but dream was always busy, whether it be with his friends or with his duties as the successor to the throne. he hadn’t seen much of him since he had earned his wings.

dream always made sure to try and spend time with him when he can, and he appreciates that, he really does, but that didn’t change the fact that ranboo was still pretty lonely most of the time.

and so, that lead to now.

it… well, it wasn’t particularly easy to get out of the castle, but it wasn’t as hard as he thought it would be, either. the guards never paid him mind too much, they usually let him do his own thing when he wasn’t busy. all it really took was waiting until the perfect moment, and getting out of dodge as fast as he could. from there, all it took was a shortcut and an inconspicuous hood he managed to snag, and he was out.

and it was wonderful out here.

or- okay, if he were to really compare the palace to the rest of the kingdom, he would have to admit that the palace was certainly the.. neater one, out of the two, to say the least.

but having lived his entire life in a palace, anything else might as well have been a wonderland.

there were people everywhere, going about their day. there was a small band out in the streets, playing music better than anything he had ever heard before — it was leagues beyond the prissy music that played in all the balls and galas he had attended. he couldn’t help but leave some gold coins among all the copper and silver coin in the tray in front of the band, though he chose to ignore the wide-eyed look their guitarist gave him.

the atmosphere around here was fun, almost lighthearted even. better than the thick air that always seemed to surround the palace.

..surely it’s okay if he stays here a little while, right? no one will notice, surely. he’ll be back at the castle as soon as he can, he just.. wants some time to relax, maybe be himself for a bit.

it’ll be fine.

————————————

it’s been a few hours now, and ranboo’s been enjoying himself immensely. he had found a bakery a while ago, and managed to get his paws on a pastry — a croissant, apparently. that’s not to say he hasn’t had a croissant before, but they’ve always been…. plain. he didn’t particularly mind it before, but this…

it was sliced in half, almost, filled with banana slices, peanut butter, and a hazelnut spread, both inside and drizzled on the top. he didn’t even know that you could do something like this, not with a croissant of all things.

he made sure to tip the baker as much as he could, she absolutely deserves it.

maybe he could convince get dream to commission the baker for future galas?

after that, he had mostly been walking around the town, taking in the sights. it still didn’t get old, seeing everything.

though… he swore he felt eyes on him…..

whenever ranboo scanned the crowd, he never saw anything that stuck out, but the feeling of being watched never quite went away.

maybe.. throwing his money around wasn’t quite the best idea, if he wanted to be inconspicuous. not that the hood really helped, either.

oh dear. was he gonna get robbed? he hoped he wasn’t about to get robbed. dream would absolutely kill him if he got robbed(after making sure he was okay, of course).

he looked around the area, hoping for some way to lose sight of the eyes — there wasn’t a whole lot of people around, he wouldn’t be able to make himself blend into a crowd — and found himself looking at a particularly dark alleyway.

in all honesty, going in there would absolutely be a bad idea, that was just asking to find himself getting cornered. but he couldn’t really find any other ways that could help him. so…. dark alleyway it was, then.

quickly, he sped his way over to the alley, and found that it seemed to split off into multiple passageways. perfect! perfect for losing whoever was watching him, and perfect for totally not getting lost!

regardless, he continued, taking the many twists and turns with an almost-confident stride. he didn’t quite have a rhyme or reason, he just walked and walked, and turned whenever he felt like it.

the feeling of eyes had long since faded away by now, but he kept going, since he certainly didn’t want to meet whoever was looking for him.

finally, after a couple minutes of wandering, he slowed down his pace, finally satisfied at losing the feeling.

but uh….

…….how………. how does he get out………….?

……….hm.

oh dear.

…well, uh..

…wait, he thinks he hears….. voices?

a way out!

quickly, he finds himself following the sounds, eager to get out of the alleyway.

as ranboo gets closer, he hears the voices get louder, though the words don’t get any clearer — it sounds as if there were multiple conversations going on at once, like at a gala or in the town.

after what feels like forever, he can see a faint light ahead.

(only faint? he swears it was only noon when he had left..)

he turns one final corner, and finds himself staring at a bustling market.

it looks nothing like how the town looked before. before, everything was bright, cheery, and overall had a welcoming vibe to it.

now? it was dark, as if hidden from the rest of the world, and seemed almost gloomy, sinister even.

oh.

oh dear.

he was in a black market, wasn’t he?

shit.

he wasn’t even aware the kingdom had one.

he needed to get out, as soon as possible — if the kind of people that came here knew that the prince was nearby, that could spell out all sorts of trouble.

he couldn’t just walk back out the way he came, though — that would look beyond suspicious, and not to mention that whoever was watching them might still be there.

the only way out would have to be through.

and so, he pulled his hood on tighter, and walked swiftly through the crowd.

this can only go well.

————————————

ranboo tries his best not to look anyone in the eyes, both because of his species, and because he doesn’t want anyone to look too closely.

he doesn’t look up from beyond the path much, only to scan the area for an exit — the longer he’s in here, the more at risk he is.

he’s been trying his best to not let anything in the market entice him, any interaction could spell disaster for him, but as he’s looking around, he can’t help but glance over one booth, turning away— before whirling his eyes right back over to it.

there’s a bunch of creatures in cages, some that were hard to catch, and some he never knew existed. the cages certainly weren’t big enough to hold each animal it was containing, but he supposes the seller didn’t really care for their comfort.

but as he looked over all of the cages, he couldn’t help but lock his eyes on one in particular.

it.... it was a person?

no.. a tiny person? with.... wings?

ranboo couldn’t see them all too well, but.. no, no that was definitely a person, size be damned.

this.. are all these people really okay with seeing this??

..oh, who was he kidding, some people would do anything if they could.

he found himself moving closer unconsciously, only noticing when he was right up to the stall.

“something catch your eye?” a raspy voice startled him out of his thoughts, and he turned towards the stall owner. he didn’t pay too much attention to their appearance, only enough to know they were human.

“uh- i... suppose.” ranboo muttered, his gaze falling back into the tiny. by now, they had noticed his staring, and had puffed up their wings, almost as if trying to make themselves bigger.

the wings themselves were beautiful, he couldn’t help but let them be the first thing he notices about them. they were red, fading into a dull yellow-orange, before finishing with a vibrant green. they had a tail, too — blue, along with blue feathers along his face, as if they were freckles.

they had blond hair, messy, pulled up into a ponytail. they had bright blue eyes, and though their face was full of anger, he could see those eyes held a deep terror in them.

terror of him.

he didn’t like that.

“ahh, you’re eyeing the bird, huh?” the owner pulled him out of his head once again.

“maybe i am.” ranboo said, not letting his eyes leave the tiny.

“well, i gotta tell you, it ain’t gonna be cheap.” they grinned at him. “five hundred silver. nothing less.”

he whistled.

damn. that is steep.

it’s not like he can’t afford it, though.

but the question is, does he want to?

ranboo takes one more look at the winged-person. they’re terrified, he can see that clearly, with their wings shaking slightly.

he doesn’t want to know what would happen to them if anyone else took interest in them.

“nothing less, huh?”

“not for something like this, no.” the shop keeper shrugged.

“well, all i’ve got is a fifty, sorry.” he pulled out a fifty gold pieces, and clattered them onto the stand.

the owner’s eyes widened. they glanced back up at them, before counting the coin.

soon enough, they looked back up, leaning back while pushing the pieces closer to them. “eh, i’ll take it. go ahead, thing’s yours.”

the tiny stiffened, pushing itself further against the back of the cage — not that it had anywhere else to go, really.

his tail flicked in anger underneath the cloak.

he pushed those feelings down, though, and instead walked up to the cage, carefully picking it up. and soon, he quickly made his way out of the stand, eager to get as far away from that booth — and the market in general — as he could.

he could feel the tiny shaking inside the cage, and as much as he wanted to comfort them, he wasn’t in the clear yet. he could see people eyeing him already, probably itching to steal away a prize now that it was far from it’s old warden.

he attached the cage to a belt beneath his cloak, and continued on his way to find an exit.

————————————

finally, he found a place that looked similar to the place he had entered from, and after wandering that labrinth, he finally found himself back in town, albeit a completely different part.

he could hear the rattling of the cage, reminding himself of the companion he had on him.

he found another secluded alleyway, one that doesn’t lead to a secret black market — hopefully — and brought out the cage carefully.

the winged-tiny stared at him. he stared back.

“uh..” ranboo started. shit. he didn’t think this far ahead. could they even understand him? “hi?”

a pause.

“fuck you.” the tiny spit out.

well. they’re off to a great start. at least now he knows they can talk.

he could tell immediately that the tiny regretted what they said, stiffening further.

suddenly, he realized he still had the hood on. that, probably wasn’t helping calm the tiny down any.

he pulled the hood down, revealing his face to the tiny. “i’m, uh- i’m not gonna hurt you. promise.”

the tiny froze, before flaring their wings out.

“how can i trust you? you fucking bought me!” they snarled, and ranboo winced. it was a fair point, but-

“i wanted to get you out of that situation — i couldn’t just- walk on by after seeing you.”

“so, what? am i just your fucking pet now?” they hissed out, hunching in on themselves.

“no- no! no, of course not! i was planning on letting you go, after!”

the tiny paused.

“….bullshit. there’s no way you’d spend that many coins, just to let me go.” their eyes narrowed at him.

“well, i mean.. it’s not like i don’t have the money to.” ranboo shrugged.

the winged-person blinked.

“who the fuck even are you?” they asked. “how can someone just, throw away money like that?”

“my name’s ranboo,” he answered, “and i just can. what’s your name?”

“…..tommy..” the tiny- tommy- relented. ranboo grinned politely at him.

“nice to meet you, tommy!” he turned his attention towards the cage. “now, let’s get you out of this.”

he grabbed the key that was hooked to the top of the cage, put it in the lock, and turned it. a click, and the door opened. slowly, tommy climbed his way out, and onto ranboo’s awaiting hand. he stretched his wings, flapping them a bit, and ranboo noticed something.

“are your wings clipped?” he asked with horror. tommy stared at them for a second.

“oh. yeah, uh.. they are.” tommy said, as if he was just remembering. “well, that’s not gonna make getting home any easier.” he paused. “not that i, really have a home, anymore, i guess.”

ranboo could feel anger swelling up inside of him, but he pushed it down, not wanting to scare the tiny any more than he had already.

“..well….” ranboo started. “you, could stay with me for a bit? until your feathers grow back?”

tommy stared up at him apprehensively. “i… are you sure….?”

“yeah! i can keep you safe while you heal, i promise.”

“…alright then.” tommy relented.

carefully, ranboo lifted him up, and gently slid him into his bag, before securing his cloak. he made sure to leave the cage and it’s key behind.

“you know,” ranboo started to walk out of the alleyway, “if you’re hungry, i can get you something to eat. i know this really cool bakery around here that has amazing pastries-” and suddenly, he could feel the sensation of being watched again. before he could do anything about it, he felt a firm hand on his shoulder. he whirled around, ready to fight, when-

“ranboo.” a stern, yet familiar voice said.

ah.

sapnap.

one of the royal guards.

one of dream’s best friends.

“uhh,,, heyyyyy, sapnap,” ranboo said nervously, giving him a half-hearted finger gun, “fancy, uhm, fancy seeing you here. hey, uh, could you do me a favor and,,, not tell dream i left for the town?” he grinned.

sapnap gave him an unimpressed look.

shit.

————————————

sapnap told dream, the traitor.

dream ended up grounding him for a week.

luckily, though, he had a friend to pass the time with.

2021.03.10 USEN STUDIO COAST 2nd session with Toshiya and Kyo

Fujieda and Takabayashi again came on stage when the tables were ready and after greeting everyone and introducing themselves F asked fans to give band members a loud applause👏

Toshiya and Kyo came back and they both changed for the second session!

Unconfirmed until DIRT announcement, but most likely T was wearing DIRT items: light grey cardigan and black and white floral print set, top and bottom, with a thick white stripe with black frame on the sides. Plus sunglasses.

Kyo was wearing Madaraningen, MANG white shirt with the tie and black slacks, white socks with colorful accent, gold choice of Madara jewellery. And big glasses.

They sat in the same order as for the 1st session.→F K T Ta

T: I'm Toshiya, yoroshiku onegaishimasu

K: I'm Kyo.

The whole time during the 1st session K was turned slightly to the right, but during the 2nd session he was basically sitting facing F.

F: (after he talked about Rock-May-Kan footage) It's the first time you performed Ochita koto no aru sora. Did you have any trouble with it?

T: hm. Chorus is hard.

F: continues fast.

T: yeah. But you just practice and get used to playing it.

F: Shinya said that thanks to the rehearsal you did as the rhythm section songs he got them back quickly.

T: I see. He should be grateful😆

F: How about you, K? Any trouble?

K: don't know (he's looking to the left side of the venue)

F: you've only performed it once.

K: wah! (still intensely looking at the left wall of the venue or somewhere that direction)

F: 😱?! why are you looking there?? Can you see anything?!

K: thingy there is moving and moving...

F: whaaaaat, don't scare us like that!

K: ... (he continued to look there).

👻？😂

F: Didn't you play Jealous first time in a really long time? Wasn't it hard?

T: it wasn't a big surprise, we were planning it originally for the SOGAI tour.

F: the cancelled tour.

T: We were waiting until the last moment to see if we can go on with it or we have to cancel, so we had the proper rehearsal for the tour. So when rehearsing it for Rock-May-Kan show it didn't feel like it's been a long time.

F: K you said it was embarrassing to remember and perform it?

K made the 'robot move' from PV with a totally blank face😂

F: you also played Umbrella, so will you be playing more old songs?

K: Anything is okay except 'Toriko'. There's a drums solo in the end, it's so long and the switch to the next song gets so confusing.

T: How about we leave S and just go?

😂

Then they talked how Shinya fans and other fans would react.

K: Wouldn't fans be troubled with [he made the robot move]?

😆

F: you T don't mind old songs?

T: they're fine/no problem.

F moved the talk to the flyer and their new artist photo.

K: Auspicious/celebrating. Like New Year. And osechi.

F: I see, if using food to explain it's like osechi.

F: How was the filming of the PV?

T: Really long. But speaking of refreshing/Sawayaka, do you know the hamburger shop with that name?

F: it's in Shizuoka (F then again got very enthusiastic talking about how delicious is the meat there, how very juicy etc)

T: so PV is like that (like a juicy meat😂).

F: the single cover art is very unexpected for you.

K: I know and like this artist from before, I asked her to do it for us. I really like it.

After that was time for the merchandise topic. F announced that he confirmed that the rechargeable heat pack can also work as a charger/power bank. K who asked about it in Yokohama and was then told that no, it's just a heat pack just gave him such a look. F, you're not gonna get out of this alive😂

K: ...it'd be such a good item in winter, so it's for the next one? We don't sell it in winter, only for warm season. Wow, heat pack for the warm season...

/s by K👌💯

F started to enthusiastically advertise the towel saying like a muffler it can be worn on a cold day to keep you warm, and K...😂

But T was also poking so much fun at F with his reactions, 'oh I see! Wow!' 😂

T: I think we haven't had wristbands in a while.

K: what are you actually supposed to do with it?

F: you can wipe the sweat off (he gestured wiping sweat from his brow)?

K: I see. Then what about the towel then? (he also gestured using a towel with one hand and a wristband with the other at the same time [kinda like the Jealous robot move], the look he gave F and that pause when he waited for F to dare to answer, oh my, F, you're so dead🤣)

But T and Ta said that guitarists actually use it to keep sweat off their hands etc.

K: so with all of these fans are settled for the show at Tokyo Garden Theater?  (F was nodding to all listed items) These and the ticket and we're good? And the train ticket? Ah no, commuter pass? What should they wear? (F: The hoodie) But then we don't sell any bottoms, should fans go without any pants? What? But we have two items to wipe sweat!

F: fans can bring the travel pouch, usb, they all fit perfectly in the bag! All good items especially if you come from outside of Tokyo.

K: and no bottoms😆

F: well, they need extra money for the ticket and their own bottoms.💦

F also advertised venue limited edition of Ochita.

K: so there are no plans for normal sale? When it gets sold out that's it?

F: yeah.

(it's contradictory with Kaoru's tweet, not sure if I trust F😂)

After that we moved to the section with questions from fans. F as usual split the papers so everyone got some, K this time didn't even read them, just putting them in F's pile😂 but then he was leaning over all the time trying to read what F was looking at😁

F said there many questions about where T stands on the seat choice.

T: on shinkansen I prefer window, on the airplane aisle.

F: why?

T: if I need to stand up to go to toilet etc it's easier.

F: but on the train you prefer a nice view, I see. Shinya said he prefers window seat any time.

T: He's a kid.

F then told her about the rest of the seat preference story (table down idea and S not needing to stand up at all).

F: "are you okay with the pineapple in a sweet and sour pork? Is there any food you're not okay with?"

K: I don't mind. I don't like milk and coriander. But there's something, not exactly food, that I totally hate. You know when you go to a shushi restaurant, conveyor belt sushi, there's alcohol to clean your hands. (K then said if there's a perfume like smell in it you can't enjoy food or something like that).

K (looking at the venue wall calmly): oh it moved.

F: WHAT??!😱

😂

T: I don't mind the pineapple, it's actually very good to help make meat more tender

F: Is there any food you hate, T?

T: The food F doesn't like.

(does it exist??😂)

K: F, you have to understand pineapple's feelings.

F:

K: I thought you F would get pineapple's feelings.

F: I'll try to step in pineapple's shoes...

K: Pineapple is often disliked, but it's being helpful...

K tried to sway F a bit more into becoming a pineapple...

Ta: I'm ok with it, pineapple's feelings are safe.

T: "please tell us F's one good point and one thing you would like him to improve". F is so popular.

F: Not at all😅

K: despite the pineapple...

F: so, T?

T: He can appreciate food/has good appetite, is energetic. Something to fix is that he answers everything with そうっすね/yeahsure

F: K said something similar.

T: About Tooru (he used Takabayashi's given name), he's very good at laying groundwork for projects. Something to improve... well, when I think of something I'll let you know (to Ta).

Ta: Anytime.

K: Ta's good point, he does his job in a matter of fact manner. He doesn't exactly has something to fix, but he can't eat cheese, so fe when we go abroad he can't have pizza.

K: there are so many things F should fix.

F: That ﾊｲﾊｲﾊｲ・yeahyeahyeah

K: ...🙃 just answer with one proper はい

K also complained again about F's eating manners that he opens his mouth too much when eating, sometimes also will turn his head when eating ramen like it's easier to eat (K demostrated F eating posture, arms high and head turned - a bit like Jealous robot pose😆)

F: any good points?😆

K: ...hm. You make every place comfortable. I can relax with you, I wouldn't be speaking at all if you weren't here.

Both fans and F went 'Aaaaaw😊'

Ta: "are there any electronic goods you want right now?"

K: ...hm, solar panels.

F: does that count as electronic goods?

K: isn't it electronic? I want one you can put on the roof and make your own power.

T: yeah, solar panels would be nice.

K: And you can sell electricity to power companies. It's expensive at first, but after 10 years you can start make money, also you can use it if there's an earthquake.

F: can we get it at the store?

K: Why not, you could carry it home on your back!

F: Maybe not...

K: Can I put one on you F?

F: No.

K: then tattoo the giraffe on you, one long giraffe stretching from neck to knees.

F: You like giraffes.

K: Yes (noded)

K got so excited about the giraffe, F won't hear the emd of this idea😂

F: " do you have a favorite female idol or singer?"

K: This morning I was listening to Togawa Jun, レーダーマン.

F: you T?

T: No one in particular. But ones from the past.

F: like globe?

T: isn't it wrong age?

K: globe is the band with Sam?

F: I think that's TRF, in globe it's Mark Panther and Komuro Tetsuya.

F: "how about favorite artist or band you like?" Or just music you like.

K:  I'm listening now to Sekiri (赤痢), an old female band.

F: foreign band?

K: From Japan, with 3 female members.

T: I just use shuffle, listen to music without choosing who to listen to.

F: It's a streaming age now.

T: Is it?😆

F: Ok we still have plenty of time, "what's your shoe size?"

K: 24.5, for sports shoes 25.5.

T: 27, for sports I go bigger, maybe 28 or 29. Boots are better just right. But why do you need such information?😅

F: Usually fans can't ask such things, like do you pull your hoodie strings? (?)

K: I don't.

T: it depends on my mood.

F: ok, not much time left now, we will finish soon.

T: but you just said we have plenty??😆

Ta: "what your favorite album/single cover art?"

T: to pick just one is tough.

Ta: S said that Oboro is in his top 5 now.

T: Favorite cover... hm... what is it, I know, MISSA!😆

F: it's cool, it has members photo.

T: it does?😂

K: For me its DUM. It really captured album's worldview.

F (unsure): are you angry?

K: S answered that Oboro is in his top 5 to the question what's your favorite? Why?😑

F explained the situation, that it wasn't to the same question, K just replied 'I see'.

And then when F just wanted to finish K said they should do all of the leftover questions, but without thinking too long, very rapid q&a

(and absolute nightmare to write down but so SO entertaining🤣 sorry I'm not sure about all the questions it was TOO FAST)

K: hurry up!

F: (something about some time in their life)

K: now, next.

F: what about T?

K just rushed him😆

F: food you want to eat now.

K: choboyaki

F: T, a fragrance you like (?)

T: Aroma.

F: sakura season will start soon, do you have favorite spot?

K: when is soon supposed to be?

F: T, is there something you want now?

T: No.

F: K, do you color your hair by yourself?

K: Yes, next.

F: Bread or rice?

T: Both.

F: what do you buy in convenience store?

K: sweets

F: what do you do first after waking up?

T: open eyes.

D: which convenience store do you like best?

K: Convenience store.

F: do you eat skin on the chicken?

T: I like the skin best.

F: (how do you deal with stress??)

K: stress.

F: T, do you sleep naked or wear pajama to bed?

T: Pajama.

F: (something about Oboro photo shoot???)

K did the robot move in reply😆

F: which style of clothes you like when shopping?

T: simple.

F: To finish, what's your favourite obento side dish?

K (gave F disbelieving look): You want to finish with this?

F: We asked others tok, everyone had different preferences.

K: what were other members answers?

F: for Kaoru green beans or asparagus, for S hamburger, Die... we talked yesterday, but what was it?

K (seriously): I like unagi.

(marinated eel is delicious, but also very expensive, so definitely not a side😅)

F: it's delicious.

K: It is.

T: is this really needed? Don't have one, just nothing that makes food soggy... Ah, but you know when you have a pickled plum on your rice, you move it and there's this pink spot with plum flavor? I like that!

Then it was really the end and time for the last comments.

Kyo: I don't have anything.

F: By this you surely mean you're looking forward to seeing everyone in May...

K (killer face): ...💢

Toshiya: Thank you for coming today. We are having a concert in Tokyo Garden Theater on May 6th, please come if you want to. Thank you.

N0V3L — NON-FICTION (Flemish Eye)

NON-FICTION by N0V3L

N0V3L’s songs bound out of the gate on febrile bass lines, a shushy tension of cymbals underpinning the rhythms. Dual guitars agitate in trebly tangles, throwing off shocks of electricity as they cross. But the Canadian six-piece sounds a good deal more assured and fluid here than on the debut EP from 2019. The singing is a good deal smoother and less spiked with yelps. The production is sharp and spare, but it captures the music with a visceral depth and resonance. If they were jittering across two-dimensional space before, the band is now operating in a full three dimensions.

You can hear the difference right away in “FALLING IN LINE” (all the song titles are in all-caps), as the singer fairly croons over the stutter and sting of post-punk instruments. A saxophone drifts in languidly as guitars and bass buck and dart in syncopation. The sonic distance between the long buzzing bass lines and the exclamation-pointed guitar offbeats is wide and tall and you can hear all the sounds and the space in between them in a remarkably clear mix. On the EP, the debt to late 1970s post-punk bands like Gang of Four and Delta 5 was heavy; here the band seems to be carving out an oddly ominous sensuality. There’s a bend and sway in N0V3L’s ferocious discipline, a haunting human tunefulness in its right-angled wireframe architectures.

“STRANGER,” one of the disc’s best cuts, opens with piano, a pensive spray of chords braced by punching drums, stabbing guitars. More than one member of the band is singing. There’s a giddy thread of sax threading through hard rhythms. The song is, as always, an indictment of modern sterility and the corporatist state, but it’s also a call for connection even in dystopia. Its final lines urge listeners to, “Nurture a stranger, stranger a friend.”

Other cuts are sharper, more confrontational and politically explicit. “VIOLENT AND PARANOID” sputters with alienation, cold synths framing a litany of dissatisfactions, including a cameo from our own former guy (i.e., “Loose-lipped and Undignified/White Pride POTUS Justified?!”). N0V3L is from Vancouver, where the opioid crises has raged (though where hasn’t it?), and their song, “PUSHERS” wastes no time in naming names and laying blame (“SACKLERS make a killing from Over-prescription/Lucrative loophole hustling legal addiction/PERDUE has us eating from the palm of their hand/Pushers in lab coats built an opiate wasteland”).  It’s not that they’ve gone soft, more that they’ve rounded the corners and polished the rough bits; if anything, the barbs land with more sting when you can hear them clearly.

It's been a pretty good year for sharp, jittery, adventurous post-punk already, with solid entries from Black Country, New Road, Squid, Black Midi, Dry Cleaning etc. In my book, NON-FICTION is the best of them, taut and rigorous, clear but not too clean and though on fire with rage, touched with a little bit of grace.
