Good news to ryomina & ryoji fans(maybe!!),
I'd been listening to Color Your Night a LOT lately and it occurred to me, doesn't that song make a lot more sense if the part Azumi-san(the female vocal)sings's taken as the Moon's perspective?
I'd used to think the song was sung from the protagonist&aigis(or his lover)'s perspective but a lot of the lyrics just click when you take lotus juice's part as the protag's perspective AND azumi's part as the moon's.
And the "moon" in this game is actually ryoji....
I look up at the sky, ask a lotta of why<the protag looks up at the moon and thinks why has it all came to be this way
Good and bad but nothing unties us<aligns with what ryoji/pharos said: they will still always be friends
Color the town with my light<the moon literally "shines", it brings light to the town
Another wander in the night
Let me paint the view
Colour the town with my light
For every moment shared with you
Not out in the day
But never fully gone
Going to be back again
Until the coming of a dawn < this entire part makes perfect sense if you take the speaker as the moon, since it's something that only appears at night(but is not really gone during the day, either, just unseen)
When two hands meet at zenith
Nothing comes between us < I think the hand here means the hands of the clock, which would imply 12'o clock midnight
As I drift across the sky
The hour hand turns high<seeing this, that interpretation only makes more sense.
And the MOON is something that drifts across the sky
Around the world I slowly dance<this part too, it matches how the moon revolves around the earth
Looking down below
The one I seek to find
No matter where you might go
Remember you'll be on my mind< and isn't this similar to what ryoji says?? That he'll be watching over everyone, even if he wouldn't be in that same form anymore? It also feels similar to how the moon watches the earth/protagonist from above. He's the one that's developed a special relationship with it.
I'm at ease with things that used to bother me
'Cause your existence just lights me up, yup<the protagonist responds to the other person and the situation he's in like this, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say he would feel this way towards ryoji the way he does for all his precious friends and bonds..
You always got my back, and of course I got your back
Don't you worry about that now
(Hey)
It's been a good day, good night
It's gonna be a good day, good night< this too
Within the inner heart I plead
For you to talk to me
I want to hear all the good and bad
The new stories you have < a lot of people'd feel this way towards the protag, and definitely ryoji too from what I've seen from his links. He wanted to spend more time with the protag and remember the text message he sent to the protag for his third link ep? He wanted the protag to come and talk to him really bad..
The song ends with it saying:
I'll be seeing you, baby<
Well, considering what happens to the protagonist later on, he WILL be seeing ryoji.
This song can be interpreted in many ways, but the moon's significance is really enhanced if you take it this way and it's really interesting considering how deeply tied it is to the entire p3's plot. I could be late on this but I thought this could be some interesting food for thought!
