So I say thank you for the music | video | un: saxitup

Hello, everyone! [He waves for the camera.] My name is Ren and I'm an idol. I approach the network today because I wish to meet other singers. Professional ones or just people who really love to sing.

You see, I'm part of a seven member boyband, so being on my own out here is kind of lonely. So I want to meet others who enjoy singing to help fill the void.

I also do play the saxophone, so hearing about others playing musical instruments would be nice.

[He then shrugs, amused.] Or just hearing about what music means to you works as well.

We wouldn't have become idols if we didn't want to show off. And I'd get restless if I didn't do something to keep my talents honed.

Thank you, I shall make sure to do that. If he asks who sent me, what name do I give?

[glossophobia]

You have a point. Then again it's like that for the entertainment industry as a whole.

[ Exactly why he couldn't manage it himself. ]

Just say it was a suggestion from his partner. He'll get it.

[saxsongs]

I see. I shall say just that, then.

How do you feel about music? A curious mind wants to know.

[glossophobia]

I'd say it's not my strong suit but I'm involved in it through obligation as well as some choice.

It requires explaining, if you don't mind listening.

[saxsongs]

I'm curious and wouldn't mind listening at all.

[ Be prepared for Hypmic 101 aka what the fuck is this story telling. ]

Japan is separated into regions based on its major cities, which are referred to as divisions. These divisions, consisting of groups of three men, are intended to participate in rap battles which ensures control over the territory of the divisions they defeat. I am part of the division which represents the city of Osaka.

The reason this occurs is due to the fact that our ruling party consists solely of women, and this is the set of rules put into place for our country, along with a complete ban on weapons.

[saxsongs]

[That... sure is a story. He feels like there should be a manga about that.]

Well, I can definitely support a ban on weapons. Not sure how I feel about rap battles. Admittedly, I haven't seen many of those.

[His ass is too high class for rap.]

[glossophobia]

It's a common consensus really, until you find yourself in a situation where someone wants to pick a fight and your only method of defending yourself is through the rap battle.

[ There's also Hypnosis Microphones but that's an entire other bizarre factor he won't go into. It's not a concern here, so he figures it's unnecessary information by that point. ]

There are a few division members located in Lunatia. If you're lucky, you could catch a performance, though I'm unsure how they feel about casual battles.

[ Then again he's been at two birthdays for separate division members and there have pretty much always been... casual rap battles there... so maybe they don't mind it?? ]

[saxsongs]

Right. Taking weapons away doesn't take away the violence.

Hopefully, sometime I will.
