? ! Like I thought, MM is also talking about TheBambiz!

[scene: yanayuma room]

Takaomi:

? ! Like I thought, MM is also talking about TheBambiz!

Yuma:

?

MM@music:

“The new music released today by TheBambiz, with their unique take on garage rock, gives the impression that they could be the next big thing. This is something we haven’t seen in a long while. From their basic chord progression, to their characteristically impactful riff evoking a feeling of degeneracy, to the novel politeness in the hammering and sweeps of the guitar solo. Followed by a tear jerking feedback.(1)

Furthermore, homages to one of the Three Musketeers of underground playwriting, Shirogawa Shuji’s(2) works, can be found throughout their lyrics.

From these components, it is my personal conclusion that TheBambiz undoubtedly respect and admire the legendary band, Uribos.”

Takaomi:

So that’s the case!

Yuma:

Erm…

Takaomi:

Uribos’ vocalist, Babirusa, was also a big fan of that playwright, and a few English translations of his quotes were included in the lyrics!

Like I thought MM isn’t just an ordinary person! Maybe I should chat with them a bit.

Yuma, put on the song again!

Yuma:

I- I understand.

// I quickly type out a message to MM: “I completely agree about the impression of TheBambiz regarding Uribos.” And sent it. //

Takaomi:

( Holy crap… Up til now I’ve only been a lurker but I sent it.

But I couldn’t help it! )

It’s been a while since I was so excited. The last time was when I first found Uribos, I think.

Yuma:

Shishimaru really likes this Uribos… band?

Takaomi:

More than like them!

// I grab the confused looking Yuma firmly by the shoulders. //

Yuma:

!

Takaomi:

Around the time I was feeling desolate, I just happened to buy Uribos’ 2nd album on a whim. It only took those “7 tracks of creation(3), spanning a holy 38 minutes and 13 seconds” to make me a fan. That album was craaaazy good.

Yuma:

Cre-creation…

Takaomi:

Well why don’t you just take a listen? I’m sure you’ll understand once you hear it.

// I was in supremely high spirits.

Using my smartphone, I blast out that God album on maximum volume.

I want to share this excitement! I want Yuma to feel that same electrifying feeling as I did when I first stepped into a world where Uribos exists. //

Takaomi:

Come on, it starts from here! Get it? First it starts with the bass, then from there, the guitar kicks in strongly and…

Yuma:

Ah, ahh…

………. [time skip]

Yanagi:

I’m bac- Huh?

Takaomi:

Don’t fall asleep, Yuma! Actually you sure can sleep while listening to Uribos!

Yuma:

Sle… epy…..

Takaomi:

This album only gets better from here! Isn’t it cool?! Isn’t it the best?!

Yuma:

Ye-yeah…

Yanagi:

… What are you doing, I wonder.

Takaomi:

We’re having a pyjama party!

Yanagi:

… Well for now, since Yuma is already half asleep, why not take a break?

Yuma:

… zzz

Takaomi:

Geh! It’s not time for you to go to sleep!

Yanagi:

Once he gets like that he won’t wake up. Lend him to me, I’ll take him up.

If you’re here at this hour it means you’re staying over, I presume. Don’t forget to turn off the lights.

// Hanabusa carried Yuma on his shoulders and went up the stairs.

Even though the Uribos album wasn’t finished (for the 5th time) yet… //

Takaomi:

( Yuma, that bastard, didn’t seem too interested… )

tch

Why can’t he understand this quality?

// Irritated, I stretch out on the sofa.

--- Ping! I get a notification from Murmur. //

Takaomi:

( A reply from MM?! )

MM@music:

“TK-san. Thank you for the passionate message. I feel a similar level of admiration for Uribos from you. That legendary final tour was really the best, wasn’t it.”

Takaomi:

“I got through the tour safely! But the tour T-shirt I struggled to get in that chaos has become damaged so I’m seriously bummed.”

MM@music:

“I totally understand that feeling. That T-shirt is a rare item designed by Babirusa himself, after all.

I have 2 pieces myself but, if you’re fine with it, I don’t mind passing 1 to you.”

Takaomi:

Wait, what?! For real?! Does God exist?!

MM@music:

“However my friend left a ketchup stain on 1 of them. And my friend accidentally tore a hole in the other so there is some evidence of patching up.”

Takaomi:

( That friends sounds dangerous…

But I guess MM is also the type who wears them a lot. To the point where having 2 shirts isn’t enough, I appreciate the sentiment.

More than that! I wanna talk more about Uribos! )

// And so from then until next morning, I had a long, passionate chat about Uribos with MM. //

--

(1) okay so this part is full of musical terminology and it sounds a bit awkward but i think i caught everything, also sorry

(2) the kanji for this name is 城川秀二 and they didn’t include any guides. at the same time, i didn’t see any existing person when i googled the name wholesale so this is my best guess for now

(3) takaomi’s literally alluding to the 7 days of creation in christianity

[The Truth That Cleaves The Darkness] Nito Senri [2/2]

Parts 1 / 2

[scene: yanayuma room]

Senri:

Pardon the intrusioooon, hehe.

Yuma:

Just take a seat around there, I was just about to go to the toilet.

Senri:

Sure thing! Go on to the toilet! Go, go, go! Yes! Take as loooooong as you need!

Yuma:

… ?

// Yumapi disappeared into the toilet. //

Senri:

( Now’s my chance! )

( Underneath the bed, maybe? Deep in the drawer? The shelf? )

Yuma:

What are you doing?

Senri:

Gya!

Yuma:

… What were you doing?

Senri:

No, you know just. I thought maybe Yumapi would have some porn mags or something. Or even erotic goods? You’re a highschool boy so those types of hobbies are natural, right? I understand.

Yuma:

What are you talking about?

Senri:

( He’s going to feign ignorance?! )

O.K, I get it. Then, what about opening our hearts to each other? Let’s reveal something about ourselves one by one, For me, well actually--

I HAVE AN UPPER ARM FETISH!

Yuma:

Is that so.

Senri:

Ahaha, so next is Yumapi’s turn. You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you? Some fetish? Something ero.

Yuma:

Me… Well let’s see…

Senri:

( I know. You like underwe- )

Yuma:

Finger fetish… perhaps.

Senri:

That’s wroooooooong! Open your heart to me, Yumapi!

Yuma:

Woah!

// I firmly grab my friend’s shoulders and shake. Then- //

Yanagi:

You guys are lively.

Yuma: Oh, welcome back.

Yanagi:

Huh? Why is there such a thing in my closet?

Senri:

( It was thereeee?! )

Yuma:

I picked that up in the lobby. I wanted to discuss with you what to do about it.

Senri:

That bra belongs to me!

Yuma & Yanagi:

Eh…

Senri:

Eh…?

Yanagi:

… I see. It’s good that humans have all sorts of hobbies, huh?

Yuma:

You should be careful so you don’t drop it.

Senri:

No wait, this is a stage prop…

Yanagi:

Yes, I understand.

Yuma:

Nito, you can open your heart to me.

Senri:

I’m saying that’s not the case!
