enhypen doing a challenge with you
pairings: idol!enhypen x fem idol!reader | genre: fluff | wc: 1000+ | prompt: ENHYPEN members when you do a challenge with them but the catch is your dating them secretly | warnings: not proofread | LIBRARY FOR MORE...
Tumblr media
이희승 (lhs)
you're the 6th (or 7th) member of lsfm. you just had your comeback easy, and you're were told you were going to do a challenge with heeseung. and boy, heeseung was so happy. like he forgot about dating and how judgmental knetz can be. hes just excited to see you because how busy you were do to your promotion schedule meaning he couldn't see you for weeks. when you guys meet at the hybe dance practice room, you teach him how to do the dance. which he obviously eats it up. then you would start filming the challenge. the two of you guys would end the challenge by like going opposite directions (like out of the camera view). and as heeseung being a supportive bf, he would watched the mv and dance. so he would like exit the camera by doing that chaewon move. like i can see him doing it so vividly and leaving the camera view while your laughing so hard. now the comments are all like: "heeseung being #1 fearnot fr!"
rest of the members below
박종성 (pjy)
as the 5th member of aespa, you had a comeback of drama. and comebacks = interactions with idols = interaction with enhypen = interaction with specifically jay. and when jay heard hes going to do a challenge with you, bro is like yapping about it 24/7 to his members. he would be sitting in the living room, yapping to jungwon, "man, im gonna film a challenge with my amazing gorgeous girlfriend." but now lets talk more specifically during the challenge. he would have already learned the choreography because he streams ur music duh. and by the time you go to hybe dance practice room, he's basically like the 6th member of aespa. during the challenge, jay would try so hard not to smile at you cause of rumors (and he doesnt want to be fired). but in the end, he does give a small smile to you cause he can't even hold it. (guess what the next topic will be during the next enhypen discussion!)
심재윤 (sjy)
being the maknae of gidle, is also being the gf of jake from enhypen. you're the youngest in the group and you had your comeback of super lady (lady lady call me super lady). and jake already, as the golden retriever he is, he's hyping you up 24/7. he stalks your instagram page + fancams. like even before his manager tells him he's gonna do a challenge with you, he already knows the lyrics and dance by heart. when he does the challenge, he eats it up. but lets be honest, jake would honestly purposely cause a dating rumor during the challenge. like this man can't hold his urge to hug you at award shows or talk about you during live so he would just like grab your waist while watching the scenes (NOT TO MENTION, THERES A BEHIND THE SCENES CAMERA WATCHING WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY KNEW). like jake that wasn't part of script (????)
박성훈(psh)
7th member of ive, which is aka you. you knew sunghoon cause your member, wonyoung, is friends with him due to them being music bank mcs together. (lets say you were jealous that your member got to be with him every friday and not you but still) you had just came out with all night (cover) and enhypen came out with sweet venom. like his challenge with wonyoung, you would film the all night challenge + sweet venom challenge too with him. before, sunghoon would be sooo happy to see you but at the same time so scared (this man has like trust issues with k-netz so). during the behind the scenes, you guys would just standing 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️ like this. like your scared too (i would). but in the end, when all the cameras are off you wave goodbye and of course sunghoon leaves a small kiss on cheek.
김선우 (ksn)
obviously, as expected, you're the 6th member of newjeans. being in the same company as sunoo means that you would be best friends with him. ironically, you knew each other from school and unexpectedly joined the same company. as sunoo is easy to connect with, you two became close friends within days. six months later, you're now dating sunoo (cute <3). during the sweet venom era, you film a challenge with sunoo (you begged the company). usually, hybe posts behind-the-scenes of challenges, so your behind-the-scenes footage i feel would go viral. some fans were shocked to see the fact that the two of you were friends and knew each other (well, you were technically more than just friends). but at the end of the challenge, you guys would do a heart together 🫶. like, how cute is that?
양정원 (yjw)
you were gonna have a comeback, dash, as a member of nmixx. which meant you were going to do a challenge with jungwon. which means you were going to see your bf (or your loyl). you guys do the part of "mhm i just want to continue my pace!" and you messed up so badly cause how cute jungwon was. I MEAN WHO WOULDN!?!??! like you want to stop the video to just squish his cheeks and dimples!!!!! but other than that, after 45 tries you made it and was able to post it. your guys interaction was so >>>>>>>>.
西村力 (nsr)
10th member of kep1er was you. being from a survival show like riki, meant that you were easily connected with riki. ironically you both guys came in 4th in survival shows. back in galileo, era, you guys filmed a challenge together. the two of you were known for your dancing skills and rapping skills. so obviously when you filmed a challenge, fans are freaking out. but in reality, the two of you were actually dating and super excited to film the challenge. riki never really did a gg song challenge often so it was slightly new but in the end he was able to pull it off iconically (as usual, like did you guys see the hype boy challenge and super shy challenge?!?!??!). but let's talk more deeply during the challenge. riki was obviously the shy person as he couldn't seem to make eye contact with you. the comments are all about riki's shy smile towards you and started shipping you + him.

More serious summary of the livestream
Unfortunately I can't provide a full translation because the entire time I was watching in autistic excitement like 😊🥰🤩 whilst my brain melted out my ears and didn't pick up on a lot
Luckily, I have a feeling someone will get around to translating this stream eventually since they finally had the BGM on a lower volume so everyone was audible the whole time Without further ado:
We started with introductions seating order is Yamanaka, Yurina (Es' VA), Minami (Amane's VA), Ryouta (Kazui's VA) and DECO (who dyed his hair blonde) They each have one of the 4th anniversary acrylic stands in front of them The actors have their characters but Yamanaka has Haruka and DECO has Muu
Tumblr media
Yamanaka admitted to being a Haruka oshi/fan
Then Minami talks about being a Fuuta fan (she calls him cool) and she's handed the Fuuta stand and she pushes the Fuuta and Amane stand next to each other (and jokes about their height difference then imitates Fuuta going zenbu zenbu zenbu!)
Tumblr media
But then Yurina sticks her Es stand in between them to separate them
Tumblr media
And then they move the Amane stand next to the Kazui one and everyone coos
Tumblr media
Before moving Amane and Fuuta back together in front of Minami Then they basically just lift all of the stands up on to the table and continue on
Tumblr media
They discuss their thoughts on the trial
Tumblr media
Looking at who got voted inno and guilty Minami is happy Amane got inno but has no idea how Mikoto wasn't guilty They note that the audience wasn't very happy with Kotoko for beating up the other prisoners Then they give some thoughts on the MVs from Daisuki to Deep cover They get most excited talking about Cat and Purge March Kazui says that he was able to put the right emotions into Cat because he recorded the voice drama first Yurina and Minami actually caused the microphone to peak with their excited shrieks at one point (ow)
They answer some audience submitted questions One question was answered along the lines of "Be prepared" One was submitted in English and they tried to but couldn't read it Then they got a question (in Japanese) from someone from 韓国/South Korea [side note: I feel like the south korean milgram fandom has gotten more prominent recently, its always been there but it feels bigger than ever and that's pretty cool]
After audience questions they made a few announcements Some things we already knew, the gratte cafe crossover, the Kotoko line stickers, Earbuds are still on sale (and they're making badges and stuff based on the earbud promo art) the 4th anniversary art/acrylici stands literally in front of them Then some new things: Minigram LINE stamps (everyone was especially pleased for the Kazui XP stamp) There's going to be a part 2 to the Karaoke collab (no details yet other than its coming)
They also announce this year's perk for annual members [the pain of being an annual member but living outside of Japan so you can't get these 😭] Blank lamenated cards of the prisoner's interrogations and a whiteboard pen so you can write your own interro questions and answers They bring out the cards for Kazui and Amane and do some examples
Tumblr media
"Do you like cake?" "I don't eat it."
Tumblr media
"What did you have for lunch today?" "Gyudon." [a beef and rice dish]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then Minami just writes "Toilet paper" in katakana and everyone laughs (Then she writes Toilet paper rap/lap/wrap and I'm not sure what she means)
Most exciting is script books for the Hallucenation liveshow (scripts of the voice dramas and songs) The live show uses condensed versions of the voice dramas but this is the first time we'll have official transcripts of key moments to help check translations with
Then they start saying that T2 was hellish, but T3 is going to go beyond hell: They're going to send everyone to Super Hell And at this point my brain fries and overloads on eeby deeby memes as they all go back and forth talking about Super Hell
They all start doing their outros/saying goodbye
Yurina talks about upcoming challenges we have as guards meanwhile Yamanaka ominously holds the Haruka stand up in frame
Tumblr media
Then that's basically it, not much going on because a lot of stuff (like Hallucenation, the plushes, earbuds) came out right before the 4th anniversary

3:35 | aespa karina
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: karina x gn!reader 
genre: angst
word count: 0.5k 
warnings: descriptions of blood, violence, murder – please don’t read if you are uncomfortable !
a/n: drama mv has me inspired :D
Tumblr media
The katana arched through the air, striking true. 
Their throat was sliced clean open, blood spurted out as the man crumpled to the floor. Karina had already moved on.  
You had to clasp both palms over your mouth to stop yourself from letting out a scream and giving yourself away from your hiding spot. The pain of your cheeks being crushed into your teeth was the only thing grounding you. The action was stopping you from breathing. You wanted to take in large breaths of air, anything to alleviate the crushing weight in your chest, but you feared if you even tried to inhale, they’d find you. 
Perhaps you should have moved, bolted out from the bar when you had the chance. However, you’d lost all control over your legs, completely useless sprawled underneath you while you stayed covered beside the entrance to the bar. Even crawling away to hide behind the bar proved to be difficult in your state, you were trembling far too much. 
The sound of glass shattering brought you out of your thoughts. Instinctively, your hands wrapped around your head as a whimper escaped your lips. Tears streamed freely down your face as you began to question every decision that led to this moment, how could you have been so naive?
You must look so stupid. 
The two of you couldn’t be more opposed. While you were a blubbering, incoherent mess, Karina seemed far removed from the fight she was winning. 
Every slow step she took was one taken with confidence. Her wide steps and straight posture emanated strength as she swung her blade around with unbelievable ease. Every attack was a point to her name, and none of her moves were wasted. Watching her fight was akin to watching the climax of a performance, it was difficult to look away. She didn’t even blink when droplets of blood landed on her face.
Instead, she turned around and drove her blade clean through someone's stomach before dragging it out. This time, you couldn’t stop the scream that left you. 
Karina’s gaze moved to you, slow and steady. Her eyes were half-lidded, completely vacant. Emotionless. 
When an attacker changed trajectory and made a move towards you, Karina was quick to stop them. You hadn’t even seen how it happened, couldn’t make any sense of it. One moment they were both standing. The next, the assailant was lying on their back at your feet, their blank stare looking up at you while she wrenched her sword out of their chest. Warm blood splattered across your face and your sobs returned. 
Karina observed you. As if to catch your reaction to the show she was performing, made just for you. 
Pressing her thumb and forefinger to the blade, she wiped the blood and let it splatter to the floor. She moved forward, her steps just as slow as when she was fighting before bringing a knee down in front of you.
From where you were crouched, it seemed as if she absorbed what little light there was in this bar. She cast a shadow as she clicked her tongue. That caught your attention, you looked up at her only to find her surveilling the room around her. 
With a roll of her eyes, she looked back at you. 
There was a glint in her eyes, the first real display of emotion from her during this night. 
“Now say it,” she said. “Do you still love me?” 
Tumblr media
any feedback is much appreciated.
a/n: ngl this reads like an old indian movie plot, but who cares. also we deserve some cowardly and pathetic reader representation !! hkjashfka anygays hope you have a good day/night &lt;3

Under threat from my sister @awkwardlysarah I have been forced to return to this hellsite in the middle of a delirious long day to post what she has informed me is the best idea she has ever had. please share and show her some love so that she thinks i’m a cool older sister and not just a tired grad student with a nostalgic affection for this series. Seriously she’s really excited about this post and I love her so make her happy or else :) Without further ado:
The Cullens as Different K-Pop Fans
Disclaimer: this is all my @awkwardlysarah head canons not my sister’s @queertwilight. I decided to combine my love for K-pop with my sister’s love for twilight. My qualifications are that I’ve been listening to K-pop for 6 years, so I kinda know a lot. Also no hate to any of the artists mentioned, you can have your own opinions and I’ll have mine. Silly little post enjoy!
Edward:
Tumblr media
-exclusively listens to K-drama OST’s
-mainly for the instrumental and piano
-listens to the Best KDRAMA OST: of all time playlist and ranks them by instrumental
-secretly does watch K-dramas but claims its to help “appreciate” the music, has cried to almost every drama he’s seen
-Does not understand the appeal of K-Pop groups, prefers what he believes to be the classics
-Though, Alice once showed him RM’s album Mono and is now his biggest fan
-“No, you don’t understand guys if I met Namjoon we would get along perfectly. We could go on a museum date together and talk about life.”
-Loves RM’s newest release Indigo and locked himself in his room to reflect on the lyrics in the album.
-He too, mourns the loss (of what would have been) his 20’s
Rosalie:
Tumblr media
-she is such a baddie with her K-pop taste
-mainly a 2nd gen girl group stan, but dips her toes in 4th gen (mainly AESPA) because Emmett showed her a couple groups
-also loves soloists-mainly IU and BIBI and DPR
-BIGGEST 2NE1 and 4minute stan there is (prays on YG and Cube’s downfall)
-if the songs are about being bad bitches then Rosalie is listening to them
-she can low key body any rap by CL
-has her more mellow moments when listening to Girl’s Generation and IU
-overall supports her girlies
-will fight trolls online that try to discredit any of the girls’ careers (
-has made multiple accounts deactivate because she proved them so wrong they could not show their faces online again
Emmett:
Tumblr media
-OH BOY
-when Emmett discovered K-pop it was like opening up a portal that could no longer be closed
-he had casually stanned 3rd gen groups (since Alice listened to them)
-but then he found LOONA and other girl groups
-Rosalie low key curses this day btw
-became the biggest Orbit and Chuu stan
-“Emmett we have to go save Bella, she’s in danger.”
“Idk, maybe if she stanned LOONA this wouldn’t have happened.”
-is a photo card collector (Rosalie put a stop to this after he spent 3K on a Chuu broadcast photo card and getting scammed trying to buy other pcs)
-when I tell you he was so devastated that Chuu was kicked out of LOONA
-he didn’t have the strength to go hunting for DAYS
-helped boycott BlockBerry Creative #freeLOONA
-he does also dabble in boy groups; mainly Enhypen because he thinks they are actual vampires. (No one tell him it is just a concept it would break his heart, he streamed Bite Me for days because he felt SO seen).
Alice:
Tumblr media
-MY MULTISTAN QUEEN!!!
-she knows everything about every group (obvi) and knows which groups are unproblematic
-runs an undercover KPOPpredictions twitter account where all her visions go
-Loves groups mainly for lore/storyline purposes
-like TXT, BTS, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, EXO, etc. she LOVES a good storyline
-does theories on her main stan blogs about what she believes the MVs mean for the overall story
-always has people commenting on her theories about how right she is.
-is also a K-pop dance/lifestlye influencer
-give her 10 minutes and she WILL know the entire dance-will upload and edit it almost instantly
-has been featured in KCON dream stages and has been able to dance alongside some of her fav groups
-love planning her outfits for concerts and giving people inspiration on her social media platforms
“You need help coming up with vampire themed outfits for Enhypen’s upcoming concert, say no more I’ve got just the looks for you!”
Jasper:
Tumblr media
-some of y’all may be a bit mad about this one…
-he’s the problematic K-pop stan
-like his playlist is CONTROVERSIAL
-liked sticker when it first released (believed the flute is what tied it together)
-low key a Jay Park stan on main
-…and a super junior apologist
(what did you expect he literally was a confederate solider)
-If a group has a cowboy concept he will be all over it tho, “takes me back to my roots.”
-will start shit online because he knows in the end he can control their emotions
-loves those unpopular k-pop opinion videos
-Alice does try to get him away from the problematic side of K-pop and it does kinda work, but like quitting human blood it takes him some time
-not a big stan, he’s kinda in it for the drama and to be an instigator

It's really sad and discouraging to see people go "army is ot6" every time a member has less streams than the GOAL. When in reality they are still the only ones who can pull big numbers both as a group and as soloists. I really don't think Tae's debut is bad. We got notified of the songs really late, and half of the fandom is always lost when it comes to song debuts. And it still debuted inside the top 10 so?? And it'd be really good if people could accept that not everyone likes the same songs. Personally I don't really like Tae's songs. I mean like they are good, I listened to them, but it's not my taste. I don't really listen to these slow r&b-jazz songs, because I just don't like them🤷‍♀️ I still listened to Tae's songs as much as I could 🤷‍♀️ And I like everything else, I loved the mv, I loved how he talked about the songs, but it's just my perfornal preference that I don't like these kinds of songs. And that's why streams are less. Not everyone can just put on a playlist if you don't vibe with the songs on it. But back to my original point : his debut is still good. His album debut will be good as well. It's just solos trying to compare members and victimise their solo member when they don't pull exactly as much numbers as the others and its really sad to see. No matter how many people I block they still appear...
This is not new. The accusations, the drama, the anger are not new. And I don't think many are surprised, frustrated yes, surprised I don't think.
I agree with you that it all comes down to taste. At least for me, it does. Each member has shown us something different, either different from what we expected or different from what they do within the group or just different from each other. And that difference will also show up in how each of the guys' EPs performs on music platforms, charts etc. Is it fair? I don't know but that's the reality. In an ideal world, they would all have the same numbers with little difference because, at the end of the day, it's supposed to be the same fandom but the reality is different.
In Tae's case, I think there is also a little confusion because of how the release and promotions are being handled.
But the main reason I think is taste. I think we all had a clear idea of what Tae's EP would be like. This, is based on what he has shown us before and his personality, tastes etc.; maybe the rest of the songs will be a little different but I feel they will all have the same vibe. And I think we also knew that not everyone was going to love it not because the songs are bad, they're not, but because it's not the style of music they prefer. And that's fine. That has to be respected.
I have never seen this as a job and therefore I don't feel obligated to do anything so to expect that fans have to stream, watch and like something because if they don't they are not fans is absurd and bullying, to be honest.

Paripi Koumei/Ya Boy Kongming drama eps 2-3
Tumblr media
After proving himself worthy of being Eiko's strategist, Kongming helps her not only out-perform event rivals Jet Jacket, but quickly works at finding a rapper to elevate her appeal.
Plot-wise the gist of these episodes is the same as the arcs in the manga (and anime) with Kongming using his tactics to outsmart Jet Jacket while still offering them an olive branch at the end of the day. KABEtaijin is then introduced as a rapper struggling to find his confidence after having succumb to stagnation following an on-stage incident.
What makes the drama stand out while covering the same ground as previous incarnations of the story is how it recognises in its 44-minute episode length it has time to play around with the setting and characters.
So instead of having a scene in the back office of BB Lounge involve Kobayashi, Kongming and Eiko just standing around talking we have Kobayashi riding the faux horse we spotted last episode for the majority of the scene. It is ridiculous and exactly what a TV show needs to break up moments that work well in a manga but could potentially drag in live action.
Tumblr media
Rather than being a shot-for-shot remake of the manga, the drama leans into comedy with us actually following Kongming around properly as he surveils his targets in episodes 2 and 3. The absurdity of this man dressed as he is while trying to be subtle and also film on a smartphone is genuinely funny. However, the show never fails to underscore the lead's lighthearted ways by showing his past actions as fragments of a bold historical melodrama and it really, really works.
Tumblr media
But Kongming isn't the only character to benefit from the way the drama embraces its unique perspective. We get to see a bit more of RYO from Jet Jacket and get a greater feel for his motivations. We get some genuinely hilarious doco segments with Maezono Keiji that establish his ego and single-mindedness long before (I assume) we get to meet him properly.
Tumblr media
Even the moments that ARE straight out of the manga are translated to screen well, like KABEtaijin's encounter with Kongming at the laundromat. You can completely understand why KABEtaijin freaks out, but it's hard to ignore just how utterly silly it all is.
Tumblr media
The third episode ends just before Kongming forces KABEtaijin's hand and begins their rap battle. And yes, before you ask, Kongming did ride in on something OTT (like he did in the manga):
Tumblr media
Perhaps not as OTT as his ride in the manga, but I can't fault this show for how it has spent its budget. Not only does everything look top notch, the amount of care that has been spent on producing the performers in the show is amazing. For example, their releases are featured on all major streaming platforms and Jet Jacket got a proper MV for 'MID DAY'. They didn't have to go to this much effort but they did and that really adds another layer to the drama. It features the same characters and story we already know, but it still manages to hit different.
Things I didn't like
I still feel like Eiko is the weakest part of the drama. Kamishiraishi Moka isn't a bad actor and her singing as EIKO is solid, there's just a real low-energy feel to this version of Eiko that I had hoped would go away after the first episode. It's a shame, as I mentioned in my post about the first drama ep, I love Eiko in the anime and manga so I was fully expecting to love her in the drama too but she is still falling flat for me idk.
Tumblr media
The throat-healing concoction that Kongming shares with Jet Jacket has a whole preparation scene that felt really unnecessary? Like oooh look at him brewing this ancient, weird, stinky broth. The drink has the same effect as the manga/anime versions but the whole prep scene didn't work for me.
Tumblr media
I won't say it was bad, because I liked the idea of it being adapted for the drama but Kongming house hunting alone didn't work nearly as well as the manga version with Eiko did. Without her there to sort of balance him out or even to help add a bit of context (suggesting he stop living at BB Lounge with Kobayashi) means I'm not sure if the ultimate punchline (his staying put after driving the real estate agent batshit) will work as well. I'm willing to see where this goes though, if they decide to continue it as a minor plot thread or just decide to have him never leave BB. Either way, I think the manga got it right the first time with this.
Tumblr media
Stuff I did like
I thought the official Twitter account was exaggerating when they said we'd see a more gentle side to Kobayashi in the drama, but they really have made an effort to humanise the guy a bit more and I'm absolutely here for it. While the manga acknowledges that Kobayashi is a decent guy, a lot of his character there remains tied up in explaining and reacting to the revelation of Kongming's tactics.
Tumblr media
The drama doesn't opt for Kobayashi holding a stray rabbit during the Jet Jacket performance per the manga, but it does have a few little things he does which help add depth to his relationship with other characters. When Eiko is lamenting he gently punches her head, he looks up at Kongming for approval with his Three Kingdoms asides more than once, and I did really like this exchange between the two when Kongming admits his past mistakes as they drink together.
Tumblr media
Overall these were two more great episodes in a drama series that is shaping up to be a more than adequate take on the source material. Bring on the rest of the eps!

MILGRAM 1st Anniversary Stream Translation Part 2
Translated by @/JuriTea_ and @/CatDraft0307 29 Pages, 7200 words.
🎴 Host 🔸Takuya Yamanaka (Scenario writer)
🎴 Guest Voice Actors 🔸Amami Yurina (Es) 🔸Horie Shun (Haruka) 🔸Aimi (Kotoko)
Tumblr media
🎴 This Is How To Be In Love With You by Mahiru
🔸Yamanaka: Next slide please. Mahiru-chan.
🔸Yamanaka: Well… she wasn’t forgiven.
🔸Amami (Es): Yeah! She was the second one to not be forgiven
🔸Yamanaka: yes…
🔸Amami (Es): The second one after Futa.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): She’s so cute though…
🔸Amami (Es): I’ve been thinking a lot about why Mahiru-chan wasn’t forgiven. I want to ask all of you watching now who didn’t forgive her, what’s your reason for not forgiving Mahiru-chan? I really want to know
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Was there a large difference in the votes?
🔸Yamanaka: She had the highest record percentage of “not forgive” votes. It was higher than Futa’s.
🔸Amami (Es): So a large majority didn’t forgive her.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Ehh… I see..
🔸Amami (Es): Did people pick up a lot of things from her MV?
🔸Yamanaka: Yes… or, they’ve developed excessive distrust with the contents that is called Milgram.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Ehh.. but there were a lot of people saying they wish Mahiru-chan was forgiven.
🔸Yamanaka: Yes.. not getting your way is also an aspect of Milgram so…
🔸Amami (Es): The girls are saying they felt darkness in Mahiru’s drama part.
🔸Everyone: Ah, true, I see.
🔸Amami (Es): True, her song is very bright and upbeat, so her drama part might feel dark. Even her cover song was… that. Psychogram.
🔸Yamanaka: the arrangement of Pscyhogram was amazing.
🔸Amami (Es): It’s overloaded with love.
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s take a look at a shot.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): This is so fun.
🔸Amami (Es): A collage.
🔸Yamanaka: This MV is very fun.
🔸Amami (Es): Like a magazine.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Like a “What I wear in a week” type of outfit combinations.
🔸Amami (Es): Like typical magazine.
🔸Yamanaka: It’s unique in that she interprets her sin in this way.
🔸Yamanaka: It’s very stereotypical (TN: he means that it’s a stereotypical girls magazine style).
🔸Amami (Es): Very girly.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): From a first glance, it just looks like a cute MV of a cute person.
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: Yes… next slide please… it’s like this.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): A flower shop.
[Text in MV: I started a part time job at a flower shop that I’ve always been interested in. What a surprise, the guy I’m interested in passed by in front of the shop. I wonder if I can see him from time to time. I look forward to my job even more now. But it’s more than that. Everyday is so much fun.]
🔸Yamanaka: When Otoiro san told me he wanted to make an MV in this style, I read a lot of Ray and ViVi to come up with this women's magazine style of text. I channeled a women’s magazine writer into myself.
[TN: Ray and Vivi are Japanese women’s magazines’ names.]
🔸Amami (Es): Did you come up with the writing at the side too?
🔸Yamanaka: Yes, I made that.
🔸Everyone: Wow, amazing.
🔸Amami (Es): I hope that everyone will pay attention not only to the lyrics, but the writings in the MVs.
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: Next slide please.
[Text in MV Translation: Hatsumode with him. I already decided what to wish for. I wish we can be together forever. I wish no one will come between us) (TN: Hatsumode is a new-years event where you visit shrines/temples on Jan 1st morning and you make a wish at the shrine/temple. It’s customary for girls to wear kimono but in the modern era most people just wear regular clothes]
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Ah, so good
🔸Amami (Es): It’s Hatsumode.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): So cute! Retro-modern style (kimono).
🔸Amami (Es): She wears a kimono to Hatsumode, she’s such a great girlfriend
[TN: she says なんて最高な彼女, which can mean she is the best, or she is the best girlfriend. But the text in the MV says “I went to Hatsumode with him (or BF)” so it’s good girlfriend in this context.]
🔸Yamanaka: You’re absolutely right. She’s the type of person who dresses up in proper formal attire for Hatsumode.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): She dresses up.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Ah, it’s love.
Tumblr media
🎴 half by Kazui
🔸Yamanaka: yes, it’s love. Let’s see the person after Mahiru-chan.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Ah… Kazui san.
🔸Amami &Yamanaka : So mellow.
🔸Yamanaka: What a great voice.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): It seeps into my heart.
🔸Amami (Es): What a great singing voice.
🔸Horie (Haruka): How erotic…
🔸Yamanaka: Here we have the oldest of the group, Kazui-san. We have the full range from elementary school child at the lower range to Kazui san at the higher range.
🔸Amami (Es): Plenty of characters.
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s take a look at a shot.
Tumblr media
🔸Amami (Es): I really love this shot… it’s so great that his bottom row of teeth are showing.
🔸Horie (Haruka): I see!
🔸Yamanaka: That’s where you look?
🔸Amami (Es): Look carefully. Isn’t it the best? To be able to see the bottom row of teeth.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Y..es…
🔸Amami (Es): I guess I wasn’t able to strike a chord.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Yeah it’s three against one.
🔸Amami (Es): there are people agreeing with me in the comments though.
🔸Yamanaka: Everyone please help cheer up Amami-san.
🔸Yamanaka: He views his life and his sin as a theatrical play. I wonder what kind of person he is.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Ah, so that’s how it is
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: Next slide please. Makes you wonder if this is something that happened to Kazui-san.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): It’s a bar.
🔸Amami (Es): I love how he’s wearing his jacket on his shoulders.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Hm? Is it so that he’s ready to put it on the lady any time.
🔸Horie (Haruka): So that’s what’ it is.
🔸Amami (Es): He’s such a gentleman!!
🔸Yamanaka: That’s up for interpretation.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Does he do the stuff where he’ll buy a drink for a lady and have the bartender go “this drink is from that gentleman over there”
[TN: in Japan there’s an archetype of sexy/dandy men buying a drink for a lady sitting by herself at the bar. it’s different that in Japan, he’ll ask the bartender to give the lady the drink and the bartender will tell the lady “this drink is from that gentleman over there” - this is what Horie says]
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Why is there a glass on the left? Is there a reason behind why that’s kind of far off to the left?
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s move onto the next slide.
🔸Amami (Es): You can’t even touch on that?
🔸Yamanaka: From that to this expression.
🔸Amami (Es): So sad.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): What kind of face is that?
🔸Horie (Haruka): What face is that?
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): What happened?
🔸Amami (Es): So sad.
🔸Horie (Haruka): What’s wrong?
🔸Yamanaka: It’s not limited to Kazui, but if you listen to the drama parts, Es-kun points out a lot of things about each character’s personalities that might be difficult to hear, so they become vulnerable. Especially for Kazui and the other adults, they’re influenced by Es-kun’s straight-forwardness and simplicity and they become vulnerable. I hope you will pay attention to that aspect as well. The drama part is so fun to record right?
🔸Amami (Es): I’m so sorry for being the only one to have such enjoyable opportunity.
🔸Horie (Haruka): perks of your role.
🔸Amami (Es): it’s too fun.
Tumblr media
🎴 Magic by Amane
🔸Yamanaka: After the eldest, we have the youngest. The recently revealed Amane-chan’s Omajinai (Magic). Straight up cute.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Straight up cute.
🔸Yamanaka: Pure cuteness.
🔸Amami (Es): Her short bangs are adorable.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): There’s no way that a little girl isn’t cute.
🔸Horie (Haruka): True.
🔸Amami (Es): thank you for the Randoseru (the backpack).
🔸Yamanaka: Everyone is giving shoutouts to Amane-chan.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): The comments suddenly sped up.
🔸Amami (Es): The speed is intense.
🔸Yamanaka: She’s being called Baby! Baby! Baby!
🔸Horie (Haruka): Even though they’re in English, the excitement shines through.
🔸Yamanaka: I’m so happy.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): We know that word.
🔸Amami (Es): She’s so loved! Everyone is saying “Amane!”
🔸Horie (Haruka): But there are few comments saying she’s scary
[TN: I wonder if ppl mistyped “Kowai” instead of “kawaii” in english? LOL]
🔸Yamanaka: What scary things have there been about her?
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): But she’s so cute.
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s take a look at a shot.
Tumblr media
🔸Amami (Es): Ahh thank you!
🔸Yamanaka: Thank you.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Looks like she’s sprinkling magical dust.
🔸Horie (Haruka): LOL Magical dust.
🔸Yamanaka: Otoiro-san’s MVs have a wide range of styles, and he even has this kind of style too.
🔸Amami (Es): Yes! I was so surprised.
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s move on to the next slide… It’s kind of like a children’s show.
Tumblr media
🔸Amami (Es): Mascots?
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): So cute… what are they based on? The mascots on the sides. Robot and …? This is… ???
🔸Horie (Haruka): Yamanaka-san’s eyes are telling you to stay away from that topic… there must be some meaning.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Oh no it moved on.
🔸Amami (Es): Is this Chibigram?
🔸Yamanaka: Yes it’s Chibigram.
🔸Everyone: so cute!
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): But why are her eyes all swirly… and isn’t the background so suspicious?
🔸Horie (Haruka): You’re digging deeper and deeper into something you shouldn’t.
🔸Yamanaka: I don’t think so…?
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): The background looks so unsettling yet they’re all smiling. And the lightning.
🔸Yamanaka: I don’t think there’s anything suspicious.
🔸Amami (Es): You’d be crazy if you didn’t think this is suspicious… what does this mean?
Tumblr media
🎴 Mikoto and Kotoko
🔸Yamanaka: This wraps up all the MV that have been released as of now, and we’ve seen a diverse range of prisoners and their sins. The upcoming two are on the next slide.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): That’s correct.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Right… We’re still waiting for Mikoto too.
🔸Yamanaka: Yes we’re having everyone wait.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): I’m waiting too. I’m waiting to see how everyone would react (to Kotoko’s character).
🔸Yamanaka: We’ve finished recording the drama
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Yes! Few days ago I finished recording the drama part, and… ah, I can’t say it!… Kotoko is… I can’t say it.
🔸Amami (Es): You can only say “Kotoko is”
🔸Horie (Haruka): What??
🔸Amami (Es): Horie-san doesn’t know.
🔸Yamanaka: It’s pretty up on the “Can’t say” list.
🔸Amami (Es): but I think everyone will be shocked when they listen to it. Like they’ll be saying “really?!” for sure.
🔸Horie (Haruka): You’ve dropped a bomb on us at the very end.
🔸Yamanaka: But it’s already classified from Mikoto’s part… I really can’t say it.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko)/Amami (Es): True true true.
🔸Horie (Haruka): What? What?
🔸Amami (Es): Horie-san really doesn’t know anything.
🔸Horie (Haruka): I really don’t.. This is my genuine reaction.
🔸Amami (Es): I’ll tell you the details after this is done.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): It’s the first time right?
🔸Yamanaka: First –
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Ah, Ah, I can’t say it
🔸Horie (Haruka): What can’t you say?
🔸Yamanaka: umm let’s take a look at the current forgive/not forgive status.
🔸Horie (Haruka): He brushed me off…
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: These are the current results… those not forgiven are Futa and Mahiru, and everyone else has been forgiven as we head into the second round.
🔸Amami (Es): are these goats?
🔸Yamanaka: Goats and sheep.
🔸Everyone: Goats and sheep.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Their eye colors are different too.
🔸Yamanaka: yes… I think no one knows yet how these choices will affect the upcoming development, so please look forward to their updates. Please wait to see the results of how your votes affects the upcoming development.
🔸Horie (Haruka): True… Haruka was forgiven but I have no idea what happens after being forgiven.
🔸Yamanaka: True.. There’s been some mentions of agreeing with his way of thinking and some mentions of disagreeing. We’ll see what kind of results that would bring.
🔸Amami (Es): Ah, (TN: gets cut off by Horie, I can’t catch what she says here.)
🔸Horie (Haruka): Haruka… Ah.. so his way of thinking had been validated.
🔸Amami (Es): I wonder how that’s going to affect the future development.
🔸Horie (Haruka): That’s kind of scary in itself.
🔸Amami (Es): I really wonder if he’ll be forgiven a second time, although he’s been forgiven the first time. It’s definitely possible that the results can flip.
🔸Yamanaka: I think it’s fun to watch while keeping in mind that their futures are determined by the choices everyone made. I think MVs are fun to watch, but that one click of voting can further strengthen the connection between Milgram and everyone.
🔸Yamanaka: Now that we’ve finished summarizing, I wanted to move onto announcements for our 1st anniversary. If we have more time afterwards, we’ll chat some more.
🔸Yamanaka: In commemoration of our 1st anniversary, we’ve made quite a few announcements. Let’s take a look. We’ve shown this at the beginning too, but this is our 1st anniversary illustration reveal. Drawn by Aka-san.
Tumblr media
🔸Amami (Es): It’s amazing.
🔸Yamanaka: It’s fresh to see an illustration with everyone together.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Oh, right.
🔸Amami (Es): This is probably how they have their meals.
🔸Yamanaka: True, Jackalope cooks for them.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Although it’s littered with fur… I wonder what conversations they have.
🔸Amami (Es): They don’t look like they’ll have anything in common to talk about.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Futa-kun probably has terrible table manners.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): He probably holds chopsticks in weird ways.
🔸Horie (Haruka): Definitely! I like that.
🔸Amami (Es): Shidou-san is wonderful.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Kotoko is looking this way real hard… she’s leaning forward a lot.
🔸Yamanaka: She tried her best to fit into the frame.
🔸Amami (Es): She’s so kind.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): So thoughtful.
🔸Yamanaka: Next slide please. Given the current situation it’s been postponed, but we have merch featuring the 1st anniversary illustration.
Tumblr media
🔸Yamanaka: next slide please.
��Everyone: So handsome!
🔸Yamanaka: Released on 4/27, Undercover - Hatsune Miku cover version. I’m sure there are quite a few of people who found us through this cover.
🔸Amami (Es): Yes, I’m sure there are viewers today who learned about us through this.
🔸Yamanaka: Ah right. Even if you just got into it recently, I’m sure you’ll be able to enjoy our contents. What I found interesting was that people commenting “wow a new song!” under the Undercover Hatsune Miku cover were swarmed by other comments name dropping Milgram.
🔸Amami (Es): Everyone was plugging Milgram, telling people to click the link in the captions. Thank you so much!
🔸Yamanaka: the fun increases when a diverse range of values from different people mingle, so plug it to your friends, and you can learn about how your friends think and what choices they make.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): The more brain power we have for speculations the better they get.
🔸Yamanaka: I don’t know how to put it well, but it doesn’t matter if your speculations are right or wrong, what matters is the time that you put your mind to it.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): Yes, the process is the fun part
🔸Amami (Es): Right now no one is right or… right, mhm.
🔸Yamanaka: yup.
🔸Amami (Es): Everyone is right and not right.
🔸Yamanaka: Yup, not right.
🔸Amami (Es): Please enjoy speculating freely.
🔸Yamanaka: Yes, whether you’re right or wrong, you’ll be more invested in Milgram.
🔸Amami (Es): this comment says she plugged us a lot… thank you so much!
🔸Horie (Haruka): There’s another saying they bought all the CDs.
🔸Everyone: Thank you so much.
🔸Amami (Es): Everyone’s covers are also great, please give them a listen.
🔸Yamanaka: From here on, we have unreleased official information. We’ll be going over the new merch.
🎴MERCH TALK - badges 🎴merch talk - line stamps haruka edition 🎴Merch talk - birthday illust for Mahiru and Futa 🎴more birthday illust talk for Haruka and Amane 🎴Milgram collab with D4DJ.
Tumblr media
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): There’s something I really want to ask, I think I asked a few days ago when I recorded my voice drama, but I wanted to know who did you decide on the cast? When the cast was announced, I was like “wow, there are so many people who I like the singing voices of!” I was quite surprised, so I wanted to know
🔸Horie (Haruka): I want to know too! It makes me kind of nervous
🔸Yamanaka: We chose people who we thought would be great singers. We reviewed previous works for some people, and we also looked for people who didn’t stand out that much but had potential to be great singers. Deco-san and I did various research. If you’re good at singing, don’t even think about running away from us. (TN: The way Yamanaka said it is very threatening and it's hilarious.)
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): I’m so grateful.
🔸Horie (Haruka): I’m so happy to be chosen.
🔸Amami (Es): Me too, thank you!
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): I think it’s amazing that you were able to find the perfect fits, everyone has such exciting songs. I’m really excited for what’s coming.
🔸Yamanaka: Everyone has been so dedicated to their characters through their acting, and if I do say so myself, I really think we’re making great content, and I have a lot of fun working on this.
🔸Everyone: Thank you so much!
🔸Yamanaka: In terms of the songs, you’ve all given us so much more beyond expectations so we will keep making various songs to keep you entertained.
🔸Yamanaka: We’re out of time now, so I’d like to ask the cast for their closing words. Amami-san would you like to start?
🔸Amami (Es): I am Amami Yurina and in charge of playing Es. Thank you for the hour today. Like mentioned earlier, I understand some of you might have learned about Milgram though Deco-san’s Hatsune Miku cover of Undercover, but I aim to make Milgram more and more fun, so if you like vocaloids, or have friends who like dark contents like Milgram, please plug us! We have the full deal from songs to merch, so please help us spread the word. Please look forward to future releases for Mikoto and Kotoko. Thank you for today!
🔸Horie (Haruka): Thank you once again for today. Ever since I was forgiven by everyone at the trial last year…
🔸Yamanaka: It sounds like a real story… like you just got released from prison
🔸Horie (Haruka): I’m enjoying the fresh air of the outside world lol. I’m still not sure how the story and the character’s lives will develop based on the forgive or not forgive results, so I’m really excited to find out as a fan who loves this content, and even for songs, I wonder if they’re affected by the fact that I was forgiven. I want to work hard while sharing these feelings with everyone. Thank you for your continued support for Milgram!
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): I’m Aimi in Kotoko’s role. Kotoko is still unreleased, but the song is intense, the drama is great… and the cover is intense too. I want everyone to listen to the cover ASAP… that’s how intense it is. Please look forward to it. What I felt after today’s session was that depending on how the story develops from the trials and votes, would our choices from the past become a subject for forgive/not forgive votes in the future? I’m really excited to find out. I’ll keep working hard as a fan, and as Kotoko. Please support us!
🔸Amami (Es): Lastly, from Yamanaka san.
🔸Yamanaka: I think Milgram will be a long term project, but I think it would be fun if Milgram can influence your outlook towards real life. Even though Haruka and Kotoko and others are “murderers”, each has their own reasons, their own lives, and it’s not as simple as it being legal or illegal. There isn’t a single murder that is completely fictitious and doesn’t happen in real life, so maybe they happen in our world too, and maybe we end up forgiving someone who shouldn’t be forgiven. Maybe it’s something you watched on the news today, and it’s a case like that. I really hope Milgram can help you see the world from a new perspective. That’s the kind of entertainment Deco*27, Otoirosan and I aim to deliver. We want to make contents that will accompany your life. Although the contents are rather serious, the cast are rowdy and fun, and I like this balance. I hope you will love us as a whole. Now we’ve reached the end, but is there anything else you’d like to add?
🔸Amami (Es): If I get started, we’ll run overtime.
🔸Horie (Haruka): There’s a lot that I wanna ask.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): I want to do more live streams like this.
🔸Horie (Haruka): I want to do events too.
🔸Aimi (Kotoko): With more cast members.
🔸Yamanaka: Concerts are great too.
🔸Amami (Es): Once everyone is released, let’s do it.
🔸Yamanaka: Let’s do DJ events too.
🔸Horie (Haruka): A collab.
🔸Amami (Es): There’s a lot to look forward to.
🔸Yamanaka: Yes, the story changes depending on everyone’s participation, and it’s already different from how we imagined it would be, so I want to enjoy this interactiveness with everyone. Thank you everyone for today.
🔸Everyone: thank you, please keep supporting Milgram.

Hello! I'd love to get into Milgram but I'm not sure how to go about it. I understand that it's over now, but could you suggest a good way to experience the story?
Hello!! Sorry that this took a sec for me to get back to, I wanted to make sure that I was thorough!
For starters, it's very important that I emphasize that Milgram is not over!! The voting is still taking place and we are only about halfway through the interactive thing, so don't worry, you haven't missed it!
Getting into Milgram can be a bit daunting if you're still figuring it out, so I'm happy to help! I'll be explaining roughly how I went about it, because I think it went pretty well.
I also made this playlist:
If you want, instead of using this guide, you can just go through the playlist instead of reading it, but I'd recommend following along! If you want to have the playlist open though, it'll probably help the guide make more sense as I go through it.
I'll break this guide up into parts because it's gonna be pretty long.
PART 1: WHAT IS MILGRAM?
Milgram is an interactive video project in which 10 prisoners, who are all connected to a murder, produce music videos through a machine that give details about themselves, their lives and their crimes.
At the end of each round (which is called a trial), we as a fanbase vote whether we think they're guilty/unforgivable or innocent/forgivable (exact translations vary). There are 3 rounds, so each prisoner gets a total of 3 verdicts. The last one is the only one that sticks, but earlier verdicts influence the prisoners and what songs and information we get along the way.
That's the basic gist. Jackalope (the host of Milgram) explains it in his "This is the MILGRAM" video, which I highly recommend watching to get a better sense. You should also watch the character trailer, which gives you some quick insight into who each of the prisoners are before you watch their videos.
Es's one and only MV, UNDERCOVER, also goes here. Es is the warden, not a prisoner (unless you're theorizing), but they still get an MV (and a cover and audio drama -- more on that shortly) before the first trial. Watch it; it's a great song, gives you some quick insight into each of the prisoners, and has plenty of fuel to theorize about! Though, if you're going to get theorizing, I recommend coming back to tackle UNDERCOVER after you finish your first watch through of Trial 1. It's hard to follow when you don't know the other characters very well yet.
PART 2: TRIAL ONE
If you want a glimpse of each of the Trial 1 songs, you can look at the Song of the Prisoners - First Trial Trailer video. Then, you'll proceed to the first song of Trial One: Weakness by Haruka.
The MV is the main part of any trial. You watch the MV, you listen to the song, you read the lyrics. I strongly recommend watching it a few times to gather your thoughts. Then, you can either work on developing your own theory, or you can get straight to reading others'. Obviously I'm biased, but I like to think my theories are pretty good, so if you want to check them out, they're all on our page's Master List, linked here.
Each prisoner's CD comes with two other things as well: a cover and an audio drama. You can find both of them on music streaming services under the character's name (I just use spotify).
The cover is just their VA doing a cover of one of DECO*27's many other songs (DECO*27 is a very popular vocaloid producer). These covers have been called "just for fun," but you can definitely speculate as to why specific ones were chosen, and even some of the VAs have speculated that they aren't as detached from the actual content as DECO claims.
The audio dramas are interrogations between Es and the prisoner, set right before Es extracts the MV from their mind. They give great insight, and especially in the second trial, they can contain critical information. I usually use @onigiriico's translations because they're extremely fast and accurate, but @milgrammer also has great and detailed records, and I used theirs for the early first trial ones. I typically read these after I watch the MV, but you could also definitely listen to them first to better place yourself in Es's shoes.
You can vote every day when a character is up for trial. I already did a pretty extensive guide on voting, so I'll just link that here for you to read if you're interested.
But yeah, basically just go through that same process for all of those, then watch Jackalope's report on the end of the first trial! Then, go to trial 2.
PART THREE: TRIAL TWO
This one's ongoing, so this is the current one!
At the beginning of the second trial, I'd really REALLY recommend watching Jackalope's second trial commencement notice video. It's super important moving forward.
We did get some info before that video came out, though. Here's my theory/thought post going over it if you want more details.
But yeah, just go through the MVs/theories/audio dramas/covers as you did in trial one! Currently we just did Shidou and Mahiru, so their voting periods are currently available.
Hope this helped! If anything is still unclear, please DM/comment/send another ask so I can clarify!

Hello! Seems like you weren't active since last month but to whenever you see this, I can't wait to hear your opinions about EGOlution! The song MV was sooo pretty 😭❤️❤️
Hello! Thank you for the ask and still following this little blog! I am in fact alive, I WILL be doing everyone's favorite long analysis of EGOlution as well! I should get to it over the Easter break!
I also want to translate the new voice drama - it's just after release as I write this and from what I quickly checked, 1Nm8 appears in parts 3 and 5, so I'll prioritize these.
Now to your actual question - I love EGOlution so much. I teared up when I saw Itsuki blinking. I love the refreshing and hopeful sound it has, and how it makes me think of a soul-searching journey 1Nm8 are embarking on. I love how it uses a lot of themes/imagery from previous MVs (I will so get into this in the analysis) and lastly I love how everyone from our wonderful 1Nm8 cast is improving at rapping with every song. I'm biased as an Itsuki oshi but let me say it, Kitamura Ryo is just amazing. I'm so happy I can finally loop it on streaming.

[TRANSLATION] The Brow Beat: Ryuji on the Making of the Music Video for "LOVE LETTER"
To watch the full music video for "LOVE LETTER", please refer to this link: HERE
The Concept of the Music Video
Ryuji: Here's the thing, as a fight song that gives cheer and support, "LOVE LETTER" is meant for the audience. But, when I'm creating songs, of course, it's for everyone, but there is a part [of me] that writes songs to encourage myself. That's why, how do I put it……When we sing in the live house, everyone listens to us, but in reverse, when the audience sings, I'm also watching them, and it is based on this concept that I created the MV.
The Appearance of Sato Masahiro in the Music Video
HAKUEI: It was Ryuji who wanted to put him in [the MV]. There's no way I would say no to that, so (LOL).
Ryuji: As expected, speaking of music videos, I think that by having, not just us performing and scenes of images [that complement the band and the song], but [also] an actor acting [in an MV], it will instantly climb up a rank. That's why, even if it's just a dash of it, I wanted an element of acting. It's just that, when we had our discussion for the MV, it was 4 days before the filming, so……。To be honest, there was also the feeling that if it were him [Sato Masahiro], it would be easier to consult with him about making a sudden appearance [in the MV] (LOL).
NOTE:
[1] Sato Masahiro is a junior from Ryuji's own agency, Gekidan Himawari. In 2017, he and Ryuji co-starred in the TV drama "FIVE".

THANK YOU!! I've literally grown so annoyed with pjms lately because all they do is whine and whine and whine. LC is a good song, but the truth is that it never left the kpop bubble. The GP doesn't know that song and frankly, im shocked that people are expecting LC to get a grammy nom over Seven. This isnt me being biased either because i would say the same about 3D if it was jungkooks debut song, because 3D never made it out the kpop bubble either.
Do you feel like the Fandom has started to resent Jungkook? I've seen the same pattern lately. Someone praises Seven, and someone mentions another person's release. For example, people were talking about how seven deserves to win best music video and someone comments "what about Haegeum?" Or "haegeum deserved it." It just feels like they want any other member to win other than JK. I already Nov 10th is going to be filled with so much drama
I disagree that 3D never made it out of the kpop bubble. Jungkook's very much out of the kpop bubble as a soloist, and Jack Harlow was never in the bubble. 3D's doing well on Spotify too, given the fierce competition and the fact that it's obviously not as good or as well promoted as Seven (the alternate version is almost on the same level as Seven to me, but Harlow is unbearable and 3D's not as replayable).
Anyway, 3D will never get a Grammy nom, but Seven should. The Grammys are all about popularity. Igaf about "quality", at the end of the day, of all the artists voters know, they choose the songs they like best (or get paid to like). It's simple: if you're not popular/influential, at least in those circles, no one will hear your song. Seven deserves at least the pop group/duo nom since it's going to become the fastest song to hit 1B streams on Spotify, was loved by the GP, had impact, and because it's a good song. Imo it's actually better than Dynamite and on the same level as Butter. I don't like Latto much but her part is admittedly fun and catchy once I stopped being annoyed at her feature (Seven would be miles better without it though). The clean lyrics are good enough for me too, and Seven also has longevity. I've heard it a million times already but it doesn't really become annoying - the opposite, actually. Now I can understand why people liked it.
Anyway, I'm not sure if the "fandom" resents Jungkook. I mean, what is the fandom? There are millions of us. Solo stans for sure resent Jungkook because, obviously, neither Jimin nor V can compete with Jungkook's power and global popularity right now, Jimin stans are mad at Hybe for sabotaging LC in the radio, and Hyung line stans are often mad at the maknae line for being more popular. When it comes to the Grammys and other award shows, it's like all of a sudden fans don't know how the game works... Seven not getting a best MV nod when (although I didn't like it) it was high budget, cinematographic, well shot, had a story, had impact, served visuals, etc. would be at least a bit unfair unless all other nominees have better MVs. But why would Haegeum be nominated? Just because it's good? Again, it's not about quality. It's about being known (or buying your way in). Not many Grammy voters know Agust D or watched Haegeum. It's not like YTC, when the Grammys clearly just wanted to nominate BTS so fans wouldn't accuse them of racism again and maybe tune in to the show. Agust D is not BTS. People don't know him as much. They know BTS, but not Suga individually for the most part. But a lot of people know Jungkook individually now, and he's the member people are most likely to know. They could nominate him just to throw kpop some crumbs. That's what all these award shows do anyway.
There's a lot of discourse about Jungkook now. Jimin and the rap line wrote their songs and produced their albums, so they're better than Jungkook. V sang in Korean and paired up with a pedophile artistic genius, so he's better than Jungkook. Blah blah. The audience doesn't care. There's popularity/sales/streams/engagement and then there's artistry/quality/whatever. Those two dimensions intersect but that's it. Fans know this... That's why Dynamite is BTS's best performing song...
Anyway, don't even know what I'm saying, but, yeah, thanks for the ask!

what manga is that double one? I can't find anything about it
I take it you are asking me about this :
Tumblr media
This isn’t a manga! This is a multimedia series called Milgram . I will proceed to explain Milgram under the cut
Milgram is a story told primarily through voice dramas and songs, and is supplemented by some other stuff that mostly provides character info, like posts on the Milgram app and interrogation questions posted to Twitter. It’s written by Yamanaka Takuya and DECO*27, who writes almost all of the music in the series.
The premise of Milgram is that there are 10 prisoners, all in a jail of sorts, all being judged for their “sins”. It’s up to the jailer, Es, to judge them for their actions in 3 separate trials— the decisions that Es takes are directly influenced by us, the audience, because we get to vote for their verdicts! A main pull of Milgram is the fact that it’s entirely based on questions about morality. All of them are murderers, you’re not being asked to judge if they’re guilty or not— you’re being asked if you forgive them. Of course, that means that some of these are very morally grey and some of these aren’t even direct killings. This can get very…tricky, especially when the story gets as cliche as it does at times LMFAO
The songs can all be found here. Voice dramas can be found …anywhere….probably. Usually I just look up “(character) voice drama translation” on tumblr and I find one. You can listen to them on streaming services and on YouTube , probably. The music videos all have English subs already. Currently we are in the midst of trial 2, so we’re waiting on Amane, Mikoto and Kotoko! So you can still have fun voting time yayayayayay. U can vote Here
The guy in the art I posted—the double thing—is Mikoto Kayano, the 9th prisoner. Here’s his first trial art vs his second trial. As you can see he’s not doing too great. The art you saw is the jacket art for his second trial song, Double, which releases in October.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mikoto is a perfect example of Milgram’s ups and downs. He has one of the best songs in the series and his first MV showcases their truly amazing ability in animation— at the same time, he is seemingly very poorly written and is a mental illness serial killer . The hope for him is minimal . I’m on this ride to see how he turns out and how they salvage this already sketchy plotline for him. Idk, there’s two trials left, maybe it’ll turn out fine …somehow …..
Anyways yeah, Milgram is a multimedia series that tries to ask deep morality questions but sometimes it feels like they’re like. Do you forgive this woman for getting an abortion. How do you feel about this child with mental illness who killed people. Thoughts. So😭. Imo it’s not all bad and definitely worth getting into if you feel like it, the music is definitely really good ..so…yeah
If you end up liking this series shoot me an ask or something! Thanks for asking I love explaining things always
