[He does have a point about suggesting something. The thing is that he's not actually a lyricist, either! CosPro is a well-oiled machine, so they basically just get handed lyrics that have already been fine-tuned to perfection. Minus the times Ibara has penned a song himself, that is. Hiyori's contributed his own ideas from time to time, particularly when it comes to stuff like his first solo song, and he had some say in Eve's image, but that's about it.
What might Ibara go with, though? He hates to put himself in the mind of a snake, but...
He pauses their convo to listen to the track one more time. The vibe is definitely sensual, which is on-theme for this place... on the surface, anyway. But is it really on theme? This place is more trashy than anything else. Which means that if they went in the other direction...]
What about "Accept My Love"?
[We'll just say his solo hasn't been written yet. He was taken before the SS Main Competition after all.]
Or something like that, anyway. I do feel like "Love" should be in the title. Not that I want to sing something treacly, but when I think about what's missing from "Game 52," that's one of the first things that comes to mind. And it's what we offer our fans as idols, pretty much.
sounds fine to me, but so does everything else. if that's the kind of feel you want we can always pool together ideas off of that one. but love, huh...
Yep! I like my idea, but something else might also work. Or maybe "Sake of Love," since people typically don't do things for the sake of love around here? It's all about card collection.
[He's been given the gift of prophecy. He just predicted two future Enstars song titles within the span of two comments! But, when Leo contributes another idea, he turns thoughtful.]
Now that one doesn't sound bad. It probably captures the vibe more than what I suggested, actually. Or at least more than my second suggestion. Calling someone "Beloved" isn't done around here either, I assume, unless it's just a trick to get someone into bed only to forget them 10 minutes later, so in my opinion, that works!
Alright, that's settled! We'll go with that! Excellent job, Leo-kun!
[ Why are the emoji train praise things WORKING on him?? Leo truly is a cat. He's humming happily in his room and feels like this is the right amount of praise? ]
i'm a good kid, tell sena and suou when we get back! ♪
sounds good to me though! having a working title makes finishing touches a lot easier. ♪
I don't know about Sena, but I see Tsukasa-kun from time to time at family gatherings. Or at ones hosted by other noble familes. There was one scheduled to happen in late February, actually, but I guess I've already missed that.
[Time for another little burst of rage inside him. Not that he even wanted to head over to Eichi's summer house in his brother's place, but it's the principle of the thing!]
Whenever I see him next, though, I'll be sure to tell him "Leo-kun's a good boy! 😊" I just won't mention where we got to know each other better, unless the story's broken to everyone by then.
oh yeah i guess you guys must go to a lot of the same rich kid stuff? hey, is he any different at that stuff? i feel like that cute little ou-sama relaxes around us but it isn't like i have anything for comparison here.
i bet he scolds about how to do things properly. ♪ he's a buttoned up fussbucket sometimes until you annoy him enough he lets loose like a proper tyrant.
Well, we don't really spend that much time together, so I'm not sure what he's like the rest of the time. But I have heard him snipe at Tori-kun a few times. He'll pretend he wasn't doing it if someone draws close enough to hear, though.
And then he doesn't act like a scold when Eichi-kun's around, since he sort of defers to him as the elder. That kid really admires him, almost as much as Tori-kun. They're both barking up the wrong tree in my opinion, though. The only thing Eichi-kun ought to be used as a model for is "How to get way too ahead of yourself!"
suou likes to pretend he's a good kid, but he's got a pretty sharp tongue when he wants! i like the suou who can't read the mood to save his life who likes to scold and complain about us, though. ♪
he didn't live through any of those bloody times so he sees the best in tenshi - and in us knights. i guess i can't be all that mad about something that also benefits me.
So that's what you like? In that case, you'd love our Ibara! He just loves to fuss over everything, from budgeting to calorie content.
And well, that's fine I suppose. I don't see the point in dredging up the past to someone who wasn't involved. Though it's not like Eichi-kun's stopped scheming since then. I get the feeling that might be part of what Tsukasa-kun admires about him, though. But as I said before, I don't really know him, so that's just a guess!
[Kind of ironic for him to say this, considering the conversation Leo's having with Jun on this very same post, but oh well.]
i've never really talked to him, but be sounds fun. ♪ though i don't care about either of those things~
as long as his schemes keep to the level they've been at recently i'll take it. but you might not be wrong there - suou is pretty bossy! with how knights work we'll listen to him about half of the time but he'd probably like it if that percentage went up.
I think they're getting worse. But that's not really relevant right now, I suppose.
[If it was Eichi who signed off on Gatekeeper's involvement with SS, well. Thanks for that whole mess???]
It comes with being the future head of the Suous, I assume. He'll be in that role someday, so he strives to keep his head up high. Not that *I'd* know anything about being the heir. But he is your junior, so if he wants to be listened to, he'll just have to work hard to command respect!
[Though he doesn't envy him. Tsukasa's unitmates don't seem like well-behaved (albeit cheeky) good boys like Jun-kun!]
yeah, you get it! besides, any member of knights can request a battle if we wanna. ♪ the king has a lot of say but it's not like we can't challenge that.
Now that appeals to me less. I don't like fighting, especially with people who should be as close as family. So, I give my okay when I like something, and when I don't like it, I say "No chance!" And that works out well for the most part. Or at least it does now, since Nagisa-kun and I understand each other's hearts better, and Jun-kun always falls in line as my underling!
i like how it is in knights! but that's why there's so many different units. once we were only individuals and we still retain a lot of that freedom, so our ideals and opinions can be pretty different. arguing with those guys doesn't feel all that bad or dangerous these days. i like seeing them get all passionate as they carve their hearts out to share, and i like when we find the place between us where we all agree.
Well, that makes sense, I suppose. All families are different! Even if you disagree, what's important is that you always come back together in the end.
Which is exactly why we mustn't give up hope. Our families, fans, and units are all waiting for us back home! So let's keep our skills sharp for their sake. That way, when a hero comes along and save the day, we'll be ready to jump right back into things.
You prefer writing music to performing it, then? That almost makes it sound like you're in the wrong industry. But as long as you can keep up, that's fine, I suppose. We all have our preferences.
Fortunately, I'm not one for nagging! I'm more the fun-loving type, so we shouldn't have any problems. Just perform up to standard, and everything will be just fine 😊
