Yasuda Rei - Home Therapy - Lyrics

song (spotify) Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut

とりとめ���ない話 部屋に溢れる光 I wanna dance in my room このまま朝まで話して

OK OK ちょっとTIME 聴いて聴いて この話題 明るいだけじゃない人生 Alright

つもる話 もう限界 語らいましょう About Damn Time ホームパーティやるしかないわ

はい集合！ 持ち寄る350ml つまみになるトーク お好きなようにやろうよマイホーム

Talking about nothing, the room is filled with light I wanna dance in my room Let’s keep talking like this ‘til morning

Ok ok, give me a moment of your time Listen to this story of mine My life isn’t all smiles, alright

I can’t keep all this info to myself anymore Let’s chat about it About Damn Time Guess it’s time to throw a house party

Come on over! Bring with you a 350ml and some gossip to have with it Let’s do whatever we want, it’s my home

Come on over! Tarot cards are a must-have Topics with some depth Let’s do whatever we want, my friend

Talking about nothing, the room is filled with light I wanna dance in my room Let’s keep talking like this ‘til morning Nothing to worry about, the room is filled with light I’ll keep dancing tomorrow with this therapy I wanna dance in my room in my room in our groove

House, house, house party in my room in our groove

Ok ok, give me a moment of your time 125 is a little too fast * Life isn’t all about breaking out into dance, isn’t that right?

I’m done with this stuffiness I’m weighed down with so many things I want to take it all off layer by layer and just talk honestly

What’re you making? Peppers! Tacos with avocado! What’re you drinking? Beer! Have any saké? Chatting, good vibes Deep talks, deep talks, deep… deep…

Deep down down down Underneath the layer of fake courage is my true self that’s still full of imperfections

Go deep down down down That kind voice envelops me, giving me the energy to live for tomorrow

Talking about nothing, the room is filled with light I wanna dance in my room Let’s keep talking like this ‘til morning Nothing to worry about, the room is filled with light I’ll keep dancing tomorrow with this therapy I wanna dance in my room in my room in our groove

House, house, house party in my room in our groove

*I’m honestly not sure what 125 is supposed to mean, but maybe it’s referring to CCs on a motorcycle?

This looks interesting. It has the vibes of Hakozume: Tatakau! Koban Joshi (2021) and  Seigi no Se (2018).

Okay but if Japan was big brained back in the day, Atticus would've been the penultimate shadowrider which is the case in my version of the arc and what this entire school of thought is based on the ending for the shadow rider arc would've been a girl song and visually would've been Alexis being sad about Atticus still being missing and slowly throughout the song the boys, noticing how she's all sad, by the end all team up and cheer her up somehow.

I cannot stress enough how many times I've pictured this aksk

[vexic929]

For Iris West (canon), Beth (yours) and Nikoletta (mine, no pressure)

1, 2, 5, 9, 12, 20, and 25?

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Iris: this is the most resilient woman in the world I swear omg she's so strong and brave and kind and smart and gorgeous like how could anyone NOT like her??

Beth: since she's mine I'm gonna talk about why I like writing her instead of just her lol she's really fun to write, she's so earnest and genuine but also snarky and I try to show the people who influenced her in her life reflected in her personality, like there are moments that are very Barry or very Iris <3333

Nikoletta: goodness but she's badass lol and her relationship with Abner is EVERYTHING, they're so perfect

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Iris: again, resilient! girlie can really hold her own in any situation

Beth: right now it's all the little canon things that make up her personality that I'm loving adding to lol like what classes she's taking in uni and who she was friends with in high school

Nikoletta: I love her style she's so freaking cool lol

5. What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Iris: (Rei Yasuda absolutely kills it live)

Beth:

Nikoletta:

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

I'm gonna be honest, I hate being roommates with anybody so in general no XD but that's no fault of any of theirs, I'm sure they'd be perfectly fine roommates lol

12. What’s a headcanon you have for this character?

Iris: in polyam scenarios, Iris always acts as Barry's wingman

Beth: she and Percy have entire text conversations that are indecipherable emoji hieroglyphs

Nikoletta: she befriended every stray cat she met as a child

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn’t matter?

Iris: Cisco and Caitlin and Linda and Kara!!! Iris deserves all the besties honestly

Beth: Percy and Caitlin (and later Jesse), I love their friendships <3333

Nikoletta: I think Cleo but I'm biased cause she and Harley are my favorites XD

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Iris: Iris in the pilot is...I think they wrote her a bit ditzier or not as intelligent initially, I was rewatching the pilot the other day and the number of time she says "thingy" in the span of like 2 minutes was annoying and kind of infantilizing imo, fortunately they fixed this and I liked her a lot more after the first couple episodes

Beth: I was originally going to make her a lot younger but I didn't want her to end up Berrie but slightly to the left lol I like the current version I have for her a lot

Nikoletta: first impression - she's so cool what a great concept Abner deserves all the happiness! now - "I've had Nikoletta for 5 minutes and if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself" lol

[Review] Child of Eden (PS3)

The cooler Rez.

After United Game Artists (the studio behind Rez) was dissolved into Sonic Team, Tetsuya Mizuguchi left Sega and founded Q Entertainment. They made other games with his signature flashy light show style, like Lumines and Every Extend, but in 2011 they followed up his original "synaesthetic" game with another rail shooter, Child of Eden. If you ask me it's a more successful expression of Rez's aims, and a more engaging shooter as well.

In addition to Rez's eight-target homing shot (which can now get multiple locks on stronger enemies like Kachi's shot in Sin & Punishment 2), there's a new rapid-fire shot which is specifically for destroying projectiles and damaging certain enemies. A strong use of colour coding helps with gameplay readability, so it's clear when there are hazards to shoot down or targets to lock on to, and responding with the right choice of weapon is satisfying. There's also a score multiplier system that turns CoE into a true rhythm hybrid game, as you're rewarded with a score combo when you get full target locks that are released to the beat of the backing track.

You will want to get good scores as this grants you stars which are necessary to unlock new levels. Again there are only five, plus a unique bonus marathon challenge unlocked after you clear them; I couldn't get more than a third of the way through this but it's a nice extra that hearkens back to Rez's more abstracted visual style. Luckily the unlock stars are cumulative, so you don't have to perfect stages to open up later ones, simply play them through a few times. This felt like a chore at first but I did get into improving my score as I flew through the rich virtual environments.

While the setting is similar to Rez (a cyberspace world vaguely under attack, an avatar character to save) the levels have memorably stronger theming, such as evolution or technology, and the bump in console generation certainly helps to make more fleshed-out and visually impressive worlds and setpieces. I also found the music landed better with more of a pop and vocal tinge, especially given the story.

You see, Child of Eden is something of a tie-in to Mizuguchi's house-pop band Genki Rockets, who needless to say handled the soundtrack. Their virtual frontwoman Lumi, played in their shows and this game by Rei Yasuda, is the central character, an AI recreation of a woman born in the far-future year of 2019. Lumi has a constant presence in the game as a live-action integrated FMV character, appearing on menu screens, in gameplay, and in the intro movie as a white-dress-clad personality-less object of innocence soon imperilled.

I'm not keen on the damsel-in-distress imagery, and I thought the concept would have landed better if she had been rendered in the cool sketchy "Take On Me" rotoscope style as seen in the unlockable music videos (well, you can only watch partial clips of them in the gallery, for some strange reason...). Either way, she provides a central figure to hang the game around which works well enough, especially because the implied player character has reduced presence as the game is presented from the first person perspective.

While I was underwhelmed by Rez, I found Child of Eden genuinely impressive; it actually is what I was hoping that Rez would be. It's a shame that it's now a lot less accessible than Rez. I suppose it's also worth mentioning that just as Rez Infinite has its VR support, Child of Eden is compatible with the flash-in-the-pan 3DTV technology, as well as having optional Playstation Move motion controls, which seems like it would work pretty well (the 360 version instead has Kinect support, which probably doesn't work as well). I still found it plenty immersive without the gimmicks, playing on a 2D telly with a stock Dualshock 3. Good stuff.
