FOOL's MATE Master Post

What is "FOOL's MATE"?

FOOL's MATE will be a documentary about Kayano Mikoto from MILGRAM. MILGRAM (ミルグラム) is an ongoing interactive music project by DECO*27 and Takuya Yamanaka that was first established in April 2020. MILGRAM is a mysterious, magical prison that houses 10 prisoners who have all committed a murder and it’s the job the guard to determine if their crimes are forgivable. Mikoto, the 9th prisoner, has Dissociative Identity Disorder. This means that he has multiple personalities/identities called “Alters”. Because of this, he has the most complex and confusing story out of all the prisoners. No one knows who truly committed "his" murder.

Why am I doing this?

I'm currently getting my Batcholer's in Digital Media Production and in a few terms, I'll be having a documentary class. I thought I'd get a head start on pre-production. I'm also making this as something for my portfolio.

Notes

The research document is sorta like a jumping off point for multiple other things like the script and a shot list. Because I'm basing my script off of this, it's sorta wordy and there are some jokes (one's an inside joke).

So far in terms of filming, I'm planning on having a scene where I go to an actual psychic to get their opinion on Mikoto's tarot reading in MeMe. There will also be a continuous scene that's going to be sorta inspired by Mystery Files, so me presenting this shit to my friends like an insane person.

Disclaimers

I do not claim to be a mental health professional by any means. This documentary is being made for entertainment purposes only. If I get anything wrong, please correct me.

I do not condone the harassment of any involved party due to the contents of this project.

The content in this documentary are suppose to have a neutral view point and based on fact and common theories unless stated otherwise.

FOOL's MATE FAQ

More questions will be added as they come up.

Master Post

Q: Why do we talk about his relationships with the others?

A: The relationships amongst the prisoners can affect each other. For example, if one person does not like someone else, there might be a major conflict.

Q: Are you going to talk about the other prisoners in detail?

A: Only if they become relevant.

Q: Do you know Japanese?

A: Sort of. I’m not that good at it but I can do very simple translations.

Q: What about the novel, manga, covers or Minigram? Are you going to cover those?

A: The novel and manga are not set in the same MILGRAM as the one Mikoto is in. It has vastly different different characters. The novel even has a different Es and Jackalope who are both girls. The covers were confirmed to be non-cannon some time between the release of Umbilical and Bring it On. Minigram is a spin off, even if there are some chapters based on timeline convos.

Q: Where/when will the be released? Will it be free?

A: The current plan is to release this on YouTube in Spring/Early Summer 2025 for free.

Q: Will there be any merch available?

A: I’m planning on making a permanent poster and t-shirts, likely with Forthwall. I am also hoping on making a limited edition DVD with some extra merch after the initial public release.

Q: Can you legally do this?

A: Yes. This falls under fair use as parody/critique.
