Character Introduction


Night Seven “’MONSTART’ Family”


“Waah. Waah.” When I open my eyes there are 6 faces here, surrounding and peering down at me. This is my family, “MONSTART” Family. I think that in order to solve the mystery of Pandora’s Box in the present, I will untangle the story of the past.

“Still, Mother Eve, isn’t they guy way too ugly? Who does he take after?” “Be quiet Cain! This child, you know, was spat out by Lord God Turtle.” “Geh, nasty. Spat out by the old man?” “Wahahahahahaha hack-hack-cough. You’re naughty, hmm.” “Hey Grandfather. What in the world is going to be born from this ‘human’ egg here?” “Abel is thinking of difficult things, hmm. Well, it’s no different from an unknown creature, but from this size he’ll definitely be a weakling, hmm. He might not be able to live in this world controlled by demons, hmm.” “Father. We’d better work on the preparations for the birthday festival soon. It’s time for Devil and Angel to arrive.” “Oh, is that right Adam. Party. Party. Friday Night Party, hmm!”

The curtain opened on the birthday festival with solemn music playing, wine cups and words being exchanged. “I am truly honored that everyone would gather together for today’s birthday festival.” “Now the Monster World too is secure. It’s good to increase your lively grandchildren. And, from now on, administer to the Demon World as well.” “Welcome words. Shortly you will see the Monster World’s customary Bremen Dance, so please relax and watch.” Devil continued to howl with laughter as though showing off his power; Angel swayed to the Monsters’ mysterious rhythm. Everyone appeared to be enjoying the birth of a living creature.

The sound of the bell rang out telling the gods it was 66:00; the light of the high-risen moon spread across the clear sky and made the air feel even colder. There was one who approached the ‘human’ egg illuminated by the moonlight. “This is the ‘human’ egg, huh. . . This isn’t something these Monsters need.” So whispering, Devil lifted the egg up high and attempted to smash it on the ground. “L-Lord Devil! What a horrible thing to do! Has something gotten on your nerves?” “Angel huh. . . nothing’s gotten on my nerves. I was thinking to lead the world to peace. I won’t say anything bad. Hurry and leave this place.” “What are you saying? Lower your hand.” “You don’t get it, do you. Don’t try to stop me!”

The two struggled with each other, and Devil’s right hand wound around Angel’s throat like a snake, slowly stealing that life. “Idiot. If you had hurried and left you would have kept your life. . .” Shaking off Angel’s dead body, Devil once again lifted up the egg. “Bark bark (Damn. Drank too much today. Recently I’ve been peeing a lot though, so I can’t help it. I’m getting old. I’ll quickly sprinkle some pee and go to sleep.) Bark bark. Ba-ba-howl (Here we go, aaaagh! Isn-isn’t this Lord Angel? This is serious! Everyone, please gather!)!” Pet Tiger’s howl echoed throughout the gods all night long, but perhaps because they were tired from the party, not a single person came to the unpopular Pet Tiger.

In a twinkle the news of Angel’s murder that night ran around the world. The Angel World of course, the Devil World, Monster World, and fairies, ghosts, and even those creatures as yet undefined, all gathered to the Monster gods, and awaited the first words of the one who should know the truth of the heaven-and-earth shaking incident, God Turtle. “Ladies and gentlemen. As I am sure you all know, last night Lord Angel was murdered by persons unknown. That an incident like this happened on the evening of my family’s birthday festival is extremely regretful; how can I apologize to everyone of the Angel World? I cannot find the words. For the honor of the Monster World as well, I promise the culprit will be found. There was the shape of a right hand clearly defined on Lord Angel’s neck. The culprit is unmistakably right-handed! From today martial law is enacted and we will spread wide the entire world’s investigation net.” As God Turtle stated, from that day occurred the investigation of creatures’ dominant hands, but despite the desperate search, a right-handed creature did not appear. Full of doubt, everyone spent a sleepless night. On the day the rumor began to spread that at this rate the case might go unsolved, a document was issued from God Turtle to the creatures of the whole world. “At last, the ‘human’ egg is getting ready to hatch. I would like it if everyone would celebrate the moment of the birth.”

The gathered audience seemed to sneer at God Turtle, who couldn’t find the thread leading to the closing of Angel’s murder case. And, “Perhaps God Turtle is trying to conceal the truth behind the murder” was a clear doubt in the gaze of the Angel World, as they looked at the god standing on the throne, 90% of his body eaten by a turtle.

“Ladies and gentlemen. There is no other reason I have had you all gather here. The ‘human’ egg whose birth will continue the Monster World has begun to hatch. I have now received a strong impression from this thing called the mystery of life, and give to you an Eternal Ball. The one who obtains this will never age; in other words they will not lose their life, they shall forever be unsleeping, and they will be able to rule the world. There is one person who can obtain that right. Accept it, eternal life!” Holding high the glowing gray ball, God Turtle shouted and threw it to the glittering sun. The sun pierced the eyes of the horde of creatures desiring the ball, and throughout the crowd small fights broke out. The ball was blown up by the dust raised in the center of the picture of hell formed by the scrambling crowd.

“Buha. Buha. Buhahahaha. Grandpa God Turtle, I’ve accepted the Eternal Ball! This means I’ve now obtained immortal life. Which means I’ve gone beyond a god. Not just the world, but the entire universe has fallen into my hands. Buhahahahahaha!!!” Devil leisurely appeared from inside the cloud, securely clutching the Eternal Ball and showing it around.

“That’s right. Lord Devil. Everything is as you will . . . is what I would like to say, but . . . Which hand are you holding that Eternal Ball with?”

“R-right hand!!!”

“Someone as smart as you saw that Monsters are left-handed, and so lived with your left-hand, yes? I thought that, other than the moment your desired were bared, you would not show your true self. . . Eternal Balls do not exist in this world. To live, living things burn that life, and shine. They give way to new lives in the future. You, Devil. You shall compensate for your crime in Pandora’s Box.” The moment God Turtle raised his left hand, dark clouds gathered and thunder echoed; beside the throne Pandora’s Box slowly opened. “You planned this! Damn you! I will surely come back!” Devil screamed his death throes as he was sucked into the box.

“Ladies and gentlemen! We must all coexist as creatures living on this Earth. We will protect this creature born to this world and called human until he establishes a world. In order to convey this idea to our descendants, let us establish a company. The name of the company will be Mix Speaker’s,Inc.”

In front of his mom he ends up using cutesy baby speak.


Cain Monster

Twins with Abel Monster. Strongly inherited his dad's blood. Can read people's minds with his mental telepathy. Uses his ability a lot at school, and ranks as kid general.

Eve Phoenix

Everything about the world is programmed into his naked brain, but nearly 90% of his body has been eaten by a turtle that tried to make that wisdom its own. Currently dying. Creation is achieved through the animalistic action of spitting out an egg.

Night Six “Mission!! Search [Pandora’s BOX] in 3 cities”

“SAY! Music! Show Time! I U MSI!!! Hey M! S! I! MSI!!!” “Music! Show Time! I U MSI!!! M! S! I! MSI!!!” The night after the deadly battle with Team 13, the group plus 6 new members headed back in high spirits.

“Those Team 13 guys weren’t as tough as they were made out to be.” “What are you talking about teacher? You were about to run away, weren’t you.” “Really? Ms. Skeleton Witch!”

“Y-y-y-y-you’re wrong! I gave my cute students room to work, didn’t I!” “By the way, who are these people?” “Oh, that’s right. You’ve asked a good question Little Angel. These guys are students at the magic school I manage, White Warlock and Black Warlock. Primarily they specialize in white magic and black magic, but if they combine their powers they end up able to use summoning magic.” “By summoning you mean calling people who usually exist in different worlds to this place, don’t you. That’s amazing! . . . So, when can everyone return to their home worlds?”

“About that. We don’t know how to send ‘em back. What’re we supposed to do, teacher?” “Don’t ask me things like that.”

“Bunga!” “Big Franken says that food costs will pile up, so please hurry and send them back.” “I can pay for food money at least!” When everyone turned around, there stood the broadly grinning Mr. X.

“Mr. X! When did you get here?” “I’ve been here from the call-and-response line. Hurry up and notice!” “What’s with this completely uncharismatic old guy?” “Watch your mouth, Black Warlock. This person is the founder of Mix Speaker’s,Inc., Mr. X.” “It’s fine, fine. I’ve seen what these boys did last time. That really was a difficult time, wasn’t it.

Tonight, eat a lot and refresh yourselves.” “Seriously! Free food? Yahoo!” “By the way, ladies and gentlemen, where’s Pandora’s Box?”

“Pandora’s Box? What’s that? Maybe you mean that box Team 13 was carrying under their arm? What’s the big deal? Don’t sweat the little things, Old Man. We made it so Team 13 can’t come back, so it’s no problem, right?”

“Idiots! –ots! –ots!!! What the hell are you guys doing! Get out there and find it right now!!!” “Y-y-y-yes sir!!!” As he watched the panicked backs of the 12 fleeing members, Mr. X remembered the distant past.

~ In a far off time, in an era of old, there existed demons who controlled the world. However, that period could not long continue, and six heroes sealed the demons into "Pandora's box.” Demons who, sealed so they could never again revive into the present day to settle old scores and dye the world in fear, have been freed from their existence on the reverse side of history. Now, open the curtain on the story that crosses time itself. ~

Night Five “New Agent”


“It’s in poor taste to sit back and watch. White Warlock, Black Warlock, don’t just stand around over there, help us!”

“k’. If a mere “Team 13” put our teacher in such a state, she’s not such a hot shot either. White Warlock, should we defeat ‘em right now?”

“You’re right, Black Warlock. Okay, let’s go. ‘Come out, Monsters!!!’” The moment the pair’s hands overlapped, the inside of the mansion was enveloped in a dazzling light, and four monsters appeared with a violent rumble of the ground.

“Who calls Master Fire Kyoncie on TGIF night? It’ll cost you dear.”

“Not being able to go behind the train station on a Friday night sucks. Damn police, just overlook a little traffic lane change! Next time I see them I’ll squish them with my nail bat. Don’t make a fool out of Water Ogre. I’ll beat you up.”

“I am Wind Mummy. I have 40 minions following me. Kuwakakaka. And as for money, I have more than I can count. I’ll ride a taxi for just one kilometer.”

“Drip drip.”

“These guys really ain’t nervous at all, huh.”

Shaking with anger at being looked down upon, F13 flew at the monsters. At that moment flames erupted from Fire Kyoncie’s mouth; the wind that arose from Wind Mummy’s expensively decorated bag amplified the flames and within an instant F13 was burned by the fires of hell.

“You guys aren’t half bad. I don’t see the other one though. I wonder where he hid himself at?” As Skeleton Witch began to look about, Wood Zombie walked toward the darkness with the noise of swaying trees. As he did so a sweet scent filled the air and, as though tempted by that smell, J13 came wavering close. Water Ogre raised his nail bat toward the dazed J13 and, blasted by a water jet, J13 began to melt. “Team 13” raised a scream, turned, and fled up the stairs, tripping over each other as they went.

"They're getting away! Let's finish them right now!!!" As one the company members chased the two up to the third floor attic, but "Team 13" rode a paraglider from the skylight, disappearing into the night sky until they were no more than tiny shadows. They held a precious-looking "box" to one side.

『LONG★DISTANCE』
kanji

「君の声が聞こえてこない」 はるか遠く離れても
飛び越えてきて 僕の地球(トコロ)へ

窓の外を眺めていたら 胸が苦しくなるんだ
あの宇宙(ソラ)の向こうでは あなたが

もし光よりも速く 想い届くのならば
あの日言えなかった事を伝えたい

今すぐ 逢いたくて 逢えなくて 素晴らしき日々に
また君を浮かべては 懐かしむばかり
それでも届かない いつまでも置き去りの心
たとえ涙ながれても あきらめないずっと
君だけを見つめてる

星が胸を踊らせながら 朝と夜を数えてる
目が覚める頃 そこにあなたが

「今、何をしてるの?」「そっちは夜明けなの?」
「声が聞きたくなるけど ずっと遠くだね」

その手を 離さない 離れない また巡り合えたら
永遠があるのなら あなたと2人で

今すぐ 逢いたくて 逢えなくて 素晴らしき日々に
また君を浮かべては 懐かしむばかり
それでも届かない いつまでも置き去りの心
たとえ涙ながれても あきらめないずっと
君だけを見つめてる
この空に

大歓声で幕を閉じたね 一緒に抱き合いたかったけれど
母さんの胸 抱き上げられた嬉しそうな君見て「良かったね」

「旅立つみんなを祝う式なの」と着物姿の先生。
時が背中を押すことに変わりはないのに
今はどうして「追われてる」と思うんだろう

初めて君と抱き合った日は 悲しいけれどお別れの日で
少し大人になった気がした 雪降る涙の卒業式

DoDo&PaPa - Mix Speaker's, Inc.

DoDo&PaPa
translation

The inside of you I peer into It looks monochrome
Your bangs are a little longer than mine


Set out looking for the edge of darkness The place that isn’t me
Do you dream like I do? Are you alone? Or are you happy?


The world of mine that you don’t know is a dark place
Shall I be your substitute for a little while?


Do you remember that promise we exchanged in the dusk? We go on from then
You and I who’ve changed so completely Let’s try to keep lying for a bit more
Until that day


With that too mature voice Are you pretending to be me?
Longing after me somewhere in your heart
That’s you. Always imitating me


The world of mine that you don’t know is a distant place
Shall I be your substitute for a little while?


Do you remember that promise we exchanged in the dusk? We go on from then
You and I who’ve changed so completely Let’s try to keep lying for a bit more
Until that day


I’ll tell you about the world of mine that you don’t know
Shall I be your substitute for a little while?


Placed aside and forgotten, beloved us, The world we saw in a dream Is about to end
Do you remember the promise we exchanged in the dusk? We go on from then
Farewell, beloved us Singing on top of the hill I will never forget

Green - Mix Speaker's, Inc.

Green
translation

Beneath a black sky, lightless That hand looks up to the heavens
Splitting beyond the sea of death That voice thinks of solitude


I heard from you That’s someday’s rainbow color
Still one more Still one more Disappearing into a dark cloud


You of that distant day made without loving
With eyes in which exists the sadness of not knowing love
Wish upon that bright star
Wish upon that twinkling star
Cold tears spilt over


The illusion dimly reflected in your heart
The distant person whose name I do not know
Why are you not here now?


You of that distant day made without loving
With eyes in which exists the sadness of not knowing love
Tell me, tell me, you of that distant day
Unchanging, unchanging, with those eyes of sadness
Wish upon that bright star
Wish upon that twinkling star
Cold tears spilt over

Character Introduction and Night One
Night Two
Night Three


Night Four "Friday Night Busters"



Thunder roared and lighting illuminated the sign bearing the markings "13's CLUB." The spattering rain gradually gained momentum, scratching out the noises of the city night.

"So this is "Team 13"'s hideout. At last, the day of our first job has come. Everybody, be mindful as you begin!" Wiping the sweat dripping off of her, Skeleton Witch trembled with excitement.

"What a grim house-." Little Angel cautiously put his hand on the door several times his own height. A creak sounded, and there was not a single source of illumination. The inside of the house was wrapped in darkness.

"With a group of six, we'll be an easy target for the enemy. Let's split up and look for them." So MSI split up and began searching. Little Angel and Skeleton Witch took the first floor, Big Franken and Moon Wolf took the second, and Little Devil and Digi Vampire took the attic on the third. In no time after Little Angel and Skeleton Witch began their search of the first floor, Big Franken and Moon Wolf came tumbling down from the second. Both had wounds that appeared to be from something sharp. Both were unconscious.

"We thought the enemies were just small-fries. They seem to have some backbone, don't they? Oh, it's become exciting. Kyahaha!"

"What happened!? Miss Skeleton Witch, let's hurry to the second floor!" At the same time as they started to go up, Little Devil and Digi Vampire both came down.

"The attic is a closet. Anyway, what was that noise just now? What!? Did they already get taken out? So those bastards are on this floor..." In the instant Little Devil turned his eyes something glinted something glinted in the darkness at the back of the doorway.

"Look out!!!" The four of them jumped back at the same instant and took some distance.

"That was fast. I thought we were done for," Skeleton muttered while peering into Little Angel's face, attempting to shield him.

"No, that's not it..." Little Angel pressed against his chest, a deep red rising to stain his wings.

They dodged by a hairbreadth, but little by little they were cut and their strength began to break down. Without a sound the knife crept closer, and the four did not move hand or foot.

"Shit, they're strong..." Running protectively around the other three, Skeleton Witch was also gradually threatened by fear and soon was tempted to flee as well.

"It seems as though you've been putting up a poor fight, professor. Shall we assist you?" a calm voice said from the entrance on the first floor. When they looked over, six shadows stood in the open door, lit by the lightning.

Ura Hevn November 2007 Yuki Personal Interview - Mix Speaker's,Inc.

Yuki Personal Interview - Ura Hevn ban November 2007

--When you were little, what prompted you toward music?

There was no one in my family who liked music, and, quite opposite, when I was little I didn’t really like music.

--Did you hate music class?

I really hated it (laugh).

--So then you really never thought that you would be singing…

But if I ask my parents about my childhood, they say that I’ve been singing since way back when. They recorded my voice singing on tape, and it seems there isn’t a time they can remember me, not humming, but arbitrarily making up my own lyrics, adding lyrics I didn’t know well (laugh). My parents recorded numerous tapes of that. “What is this song?” “You were singing.” Like that (laugh). They had me listen to the tapes when I was in high school. I didn’t remember any of it, rather, I hated singing in elementary school. But maybe, rather than hating it, a big part was probably that I was embarrassed. I started listening to music on my own around middle school, and the first time I bought a CD was in high school. That’s really late, huh.

--What prompted you to do that?

From middle school, second or third grade, I was recommended a variety of music by my friends. From around then I started listening to the radio a lot. The songs my friends recommended would play, not visual kei, but from J-POPS and utamono pops, I started gaining interest in music. And later, I really remember this, but when I went to the bowling alley to hang out, they were running a promo that I saw, it was playing kuroyume and THE YELLOW MONKEY, and I thought “I don’t really know why, but this is really good,” and I definitely planned to buy that CD. But I didn’t know the name, so I listened to the radio earnestly and waited until that song played, and when I heard the song introduction I first thought “Ah, so that’s the name,” and, well, anyway I was listening to the radio (laugh).

--So what prompted you to try doing music yourself?

It was about my first year in high school, but before I entered high school, I figured I’d get a normal job. I have an older brother who worked like normal, sort of like a salary-man, so I thought that was okay for me too. I like games, and I thought that it’d be cool to go to work, come home, and play games, but in my first year of high school I was already not in the advancing class, but I had entered the class to get employed. Despite that, when I saw a feature on TV about the recently revived L’Arc~en~Ciel, and I learned that their revival live had sold out in 5 minutes, I thought, “So they have that much of an audience attracted to them.” At that time, I didn’t think that I wanted to become a vocalist or anything, but I just thought that I just want to be a part of that world. Not that I wanted to have a band or go on TV or anything. I just thought I want to become a person who has people attracted to something I make. From there I quickly looked for a music school. Studying on my own, I read vocal and guitar books. I even bought a guitar, but it was quite hard and I thought it took so much time. I did actually like singing, and I first went to karaoke my third year of high school, but you don’t really know your own voice, right? Even when you’re really trying (laugh). Even still, I decided on my own that it was fine (laugh). My house is really rural, so I would sing whatever songs I liked in a big voice. From that time I always thought I wanted a band. I went to a music school and really learned music, and around then I joined a band.

--What prompted you to join a band?

It wasn’t that I really really wanted it. Instead it was just that I was simply invited. What’s more, it was people from the same music school, and at that time I liked a different genre, so I was doing something completely different, but my school friends said, “We have a band, so would you be our vocalist? It’s a copy band, but.” They said they were doing LUNA SEA, and I also liked Visual Kei, so I answered “Sure.” That was what started it, and eventually we came out with originals, and that was how I started in a band.

--Did you go on stage first with that band? What was it like singing in front of people?

The first time I stood on stage was with that band. Uh, I was really incredibly nervous. Honestly, I don’t remember it. I remember the audience’s faces, but I don’t remember the atmosphere of the stage at all (laugh).

--What is the appeal of being a vocalist?

When I first thought I wanted to do guitar in the beginning, it was because I thought it looked cool. It has more glamour than singing. But in singing, isn’t every individual different? No matter how hard you try, even if you can imitate, there is a voice that only that person can use. If you can gain that, isn’t that amazing? I thought. And there are lyrics, and melody, and the only instrument to convey the words is the vocalist, so that is the biggest appeal. Also, that it doesn’t matter which genre different people like, if you show something good, I thought that it’s the vocalist only that people see. Since I started it’s been 3 or 4 years, but I thought there were hard parts, but doing the vocals is the most fun. So that’s a part as well.

--So, for you, what kind of existence does Mix Speaker’s,Inc. have?

They’re a special band, and with each set of lyrics we’re making a world view, and there if it crumbles… When we try to convey that world through song, MIKI thinks the same, but I think that there are only MIKI and me. As the ones who say the words, we want the story’s deeper and thicker places to be seen, and I think isn’t that the only place we can convey?

--Are twin vocals uncommon?

They were very hard. Before I did Visual Kei, I was in a mixture style band, and even in my previous band the guitarist did vocals and wrote songs for two people to sing. So there wasn’t much of a struggle. It’s just that we sing every song with two people (laugh).

--So, from now, what do you want to convey through music?

Of course, how interesting this band is is the first thing I want to convey, but more so than wanting to convey, I want people who listen to accept our story. If they interpret it however they like and it grows, I think it’ll become even more interesting. There are people who think to imagine the story in their own way, and if, for example, we wrote a love song, someone out there might think it’s a breakup song, and some kids might think it’s a good story.

--How you capture varies by individual. The people listening all have different circumstances.

Not just lyrics, instruments sound by sound also, why do they make this sound? I think it would be good if people really have fun as they like. I have a ton that I want to convey, but before that I want them to purely enjoy our world and songs, and think to themselves, Mix Speaker’s,Inc. makes songs through this kind of world, and if they do that I think won’t it grow? Even if everyone doesn’t think “It’s this kind of story,” I think that’s okay.

--So, now that you’re doing music, are there any ways which music has changed you as a person?

I’ve purely gained self confidence. I was incredibly withdrawn. When I stood on the first stage I thought this, but I used to think I’m not meant to be a vocalist. It isn’t that I’m good or bad at singing – I was embarrassed to appear in front of people. People’s eyes were scary.

--But when I saw you at your first one-man at Shibuya BOXX, you looked cute.

Well, that was then…(laugh). When I joined this band, it was the first time I was able to perform in front of hundreds to over a thousand people. Isn’t starting the music and singing the same as talking in front of a crowd? Through that, the shyness of going up in front of people has gone away. It was very difficult for me to get out in front of people. I’m not good with people, and in the past I thought I didn’t want to deal with them, but even though I thought that I was planning on doing music (laugh). When I went to do music, I wasn’t thinking of lives. I thought if I could just release songs that would be good. But I’ve slowly gotten used to it, and even though I only had 10 fans, when I got my first fan letter I was so happy.

--It’s like you were finally acknowledged yourself, right?

That’s right. I thought I had changed as a person. Even now, when I see my old friends, I’m told “You’ve changed.” I wasn’t the type to talk, much less the type of person to be in a band. I’m told like “Weren’t you the type to sit at your desk absorbed in reading manga?” (laugh). When I went to my class reunion, my hair was like this, and I had had piercings done, so “What are you doing?” and when I said “I’m in a band now,” they would be surprised. “Really!?” Music has changed me. I think it’s even changed my personality.

--And haven’t you changed since meeting your current band mates?

Really, meeting these band members was also coincidence. When I think that I have become a member, I understand how important it is. It’s influence enough to change my world. Everything I see is different now, and that I’m here, isn’t it that all of the fans who come receive me? So there is no debt there, and I’ve become so that I think I have to go on and have more confidence. And being embarrassed to go on stage has gone away.

--After this, what is your personal aim?

Certainly I don’t want it to be thought that I am all about appearances, and if I say what I can do, it’s to sing, and there I want fans and people who do music to confirm that “That band, their performance and singning is really great.” I want to become the person who can convey songs with conviction.

--Now then, please give a final message to the fans.

We’re waiting for our Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka one-man tour soon, so I think it would be great if you listen to our music. These are our first one-man shows in Nagoya and Osaka, but we think that at a one man show it’s the easiest to deliver our music. We’ll work hard and do our best to not betray your expectations, so please come.

[Special Addition] Please tell us about your recent obsession.

Recently it’s cooking! The first thing I made was Medamayaki! (laugh) When I went to make it, I messed up when I broke the eggs. Firstly, I put too much strength into it and the shell shattered, and I thought I’ve gotta get this in, but if I drop it, if I drop it I’m too high up and the yolk will split and it won’t be Medamayaki anymore (laugh). I’m glad I made it into scrambled eggs, but I hadn’t planned on that. Halfway through it became a weird Medamayaki, Tamagoyaki, and something I really don’t know. Recently I’ve made Omuraisu. I thought that it’s an egg dish, so I’ll attack (laugh).

Character Introduction and Night One
Night Two

Night Three “Team ‘13’”


Clouds like soap drifted along in the sky as they formed soft lines. Floating a number of centimeters from the ground, Little Angel and Little Devil were basking in the sunlight.

“Ah, there’s nothing to do. Ever since we entered Mix Speaker’s,Inc. the days have been like a storm of packing and shipping.”

“Those bastards have a harsh way of training us. Let’s smash ‘em dead! What idiot is going to buy a BOX filled with that kind of trash?”

“They seem to be selling really well. At least, that’s how it seems from Big Franken’s rush of complaints.”

“Seriously, there’s not much further for a company to go that just makes fools of kids. That vampire fuck, I can’t tell if he’s sleeping or awake. And that wolf that looks like a pig, he’s usually in the freaking moon. Of all the things that make absolutely no sense. Really, how tall is he? And that old witch, she’s always got sauce on the side over her mouth, seriously simple. And from the beginning, where the hell are the monsters going crazy at?”

“Come on now, isn’t peace good? Ah – it’s so quiet.”

Bang. Baki baki baki. Doshin doshin doshin. “Bunga-!!!”

“You fuck! You broke the door again. How many bolts do I have to shoot into your head for you to get it?!"

"What's going on, Big Franken? Have complaints come that we've run out of the BOX again?"

"Bubububububunga-!!!"

"You say DoDo&PaPa brought orders!? Little Devil, we have work!!!"

"Pain in the ass."



"Everyone, please listen carefully! This is our company's first assignment. Ahhh... I'm so nervous. Agh, my hands are shaking!"



-To the ladies and gentlemen of Mix Speaker's,Inc. It seems the BOX is selling very well. Thank you for your efforts. At any rate, changing the subject, it seems that monsters are running wild. A group of two known as Team "13" are doing as they please, but one swings around an electric saw, and the other appears in dreams with steel claws and tears people to shreads. Horrifying, isn't it? According to the stories I've heard, they're insanely strong.

I don't really know a way to capture them, but, well, go get 'em. - From old man Mr. X



"So that Mr. X is this kind of character?"

So-net Music Visual Interview 10/31 - Mix Speaker's,Inc.

Interview, Mix Speaker's,Inc.

Mix Speaker’s,Inc. in 5 minutes by Mr. X

At the present time, the world in which angels and demons, monsters, fairies, humans coexist is starting to crumble. Again, night after night humans are being attacked by a group of monsters. It seems that such regrettable incidents are frequent…… Under the gravity of this situation, I gathered Little Angel, Little Devil, Skeleton Witch, Digi Vampire, Big Franken and Moon Wolf, and for the sake of world peace begged the six of them to combine and lend me their strength
It’s pulling on fate’s thread, the six members who had gathered by mistake, and the people appearing surrounded by that --.
Everyone, as witnesses of the era、with those eyes, I want you to soundly record their activities from here on after.

From there, information about Mix Speaker's,Inc.’s activities is here.

■It has a feeling like Gekidan Shiki. (Gekidan Shiki is a theatre company)
This is something incredibly important.

So-net Music(from not on So-net):What were the circumstances under which you 6 gathered?

AYA(G/picture: second from the right):Before this band, all of us, except for YUKI, played in a short-term session band. Through that we thought, let’s make a band we can really put it all into. The beginning was moving with MIKI. Then it was decided that we would play together with S and keiji. We found YUKI living in Kyoto and drug him in (laugh). Lastly we seek stayed.

So-net:You’re known as Creation・Creator Group.

seek(B/picture: far left):Regarding the theme we chose, we thought about what kind of things could we do using more than just music, we came up with a lot of different ideas and ingredients. Without being trapped in the frame of “band,” we thought it would be good if we went and did various possibilities.

So-net: So you’re saying from there the concept of the company form and monsters was decided.

seek:We wanted to incorporate construction and assembly into the band name, so we added Inc. The Monster thing had already come out.

AYA:It has the feeling of Gekidan Shiki. (Theatre Company in Japan)

So-net:Gekidan Shiki?

Unison:(laugh)

seek:This is really complicated, but it’s really important. Apart from this logo (the logo of the current band’s name) there is one more, something called a company logo. For Gekidan Shiki, the logo is “CATS.”

So-net:Are you talking about your repertoire?

seek:Yeah, repertoire. If the band name itself changes it’ll be a problem, and whenever the repertoire changes we’ll change the logo.

So-net:So why did you take up monsters as your first repertoire/gimik?

AYA:I wanted to use special effects makeup. I thought that the way we could work that a lot was with monsters.

So-net:Normally, doesn’t having a band means having a lot of different faces?

keiji(G/picture: second from the left):In the beginning it’s feeling it out. If there are members with that kind of experience, or are they complete strangers. Then it’s like, has everyone finally meshed?

S(Dr/picture: far left): At first playing monsters was hard work, but lately I’ve come to understand that that it’s this sort of thing.

So-net:At your second one-man, 6 new monsters appeared.

seek: This is again important! You’re likely to think it was just a mere costume change, but right now we’re each playing two parts. Depending on the story, it’s possible that the cast will increase. There’s a story, and we go with that, we’re thinking and going with live and musical development.

So-net: In what ways is the story reflected in the songs?

keiji:From having a story, we pick songs that match that scene.

AYA: Most of the songs have a theme. Characters and such.

So-net:Not just world view, you use a lot of harmony, and there are places where you make us listen to the song.

AYA:Their voice quality is similar, so when they harmonize it’s very beautiful.

YUKI(Vo/picture: third from left): When we tried to join, the truth is it was incredibly similar. But the characters are completely different, so depending on the song MIKI does the main, or I do the main and such. We’re having you listen in that sort of way.

So-net:Besides that, at lives you use the change of the beat of the music.

seek:At the one man show two months after we began formal activities, it was good if people know the beat. In that extreme, the song “Friday Night Busters” is a means of fliping the beat like this.

AYA:I don’t think there are many songs where, though it’s the same song the beat changes. Normally, if you do it people don’t really like it. I think one twist suits us.

■”MONSTART” Family” will become the first chapter in a new story

So-net:As the story progresses, next there should be a new basis for the songs, right?

seek: That I think “MONSTART” Family is becoming a song that hints as to what will develop from here.

keiji: From the songs we made before we decided on the theme of Monstart Family, we picked those that we thought “wouldn’t this match?” but.

So-net:Pop and catchy and easy to listen to.

keiji: Speaking from the original piece of music, with just the bridge left, the rest was a different thing. More manic and a piece that’s not at all coming out like the song before.

AYA: The third song is like that, but that’s talking of the past. In an old-fashioned sound there’s a pipe organ and such, and we used that sort of sound.

So-net:It’s an old story that traces back time.

seek: Mr.X wanted us to come out with Pandora’s Box at the end of the second one-man. In this song, we thought to explain Mr. X “Really my family, but”… or so returning to Mr. X’s stories of childhood.

MIKI(Vo/picture: third from right): About 1000 years ago.

seek:There are a lot of key words.。

So-net: Key words like red and blue?

seek: Father is the red one, Mother is the blue one, and the two children are effected differently. That’s the theme song for that family.

(*note* seek and S say two different things, but my guess is seek messed up here and the red one is the mom, the blue is the dad – unless Adam Dragon is supposed to be the female…)

MIKI: You get that feel from the title.

seek: It’s a story about the beginning period, when there weren’t monsters in the world. The third cast will appear!

S: It’s Mr.X’s family.

seek: When Mr.X was a little kid.

So-net: Before that, Mr.X is telling the story in the third song “Episode of Pandora.”

seek: We want to give an end that says “this continues” in the third song so that people will understand this story. Aya made a sort of rearranged form of the song we use as an opening for lives “Monster Start Instrumental” as a motif. It’s expressing a scene that shows Mr. X’s part of the fable.

So-net:That six heroes come out has a deep meaning too.

seek:Right now, actually, with Mr. X included wasn’t it seven? (wry smile) But that puts the story together.

■Continuing with the sold out one man tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, coming releases, and next year's one man.

So-net:You also recorded the group of three songs in which you split into units of two.

seek: I think this feels like it expresses the pattern of it’s Friday night and there’s a monster party at the company. But if there’s suddenly a dark song the party feel becomes zero.

So-net:That’s Miki and keiji’s lonely 3/4 beat song “Digital Romance.”

keiji: Actually, it’s a song that didn’t mesh but seems like it does. In me Miki was the theme.

MIKI: I don’t know that, the theme was at that time keiji’s Digi Vampire, sort of dark, Dracula image.

keiji: The results were okay, like we did good. It went well for a whole different reason.

MIKI: We brought it to a dark place together.

So-net: Continuing with songs that have flavor and atmosphere, if you notice, lets go onto the next, seek and S’s “dekoboko chidouchuu” (“in an uneven strange road”).

seek: I wanted to do something that sounded like one song and looked like Aya had remixed it. The limit of what two people can do looks like it’s about here, I thought. Neither of us ever sing.

S: But we got together and talked a lot!

seek: Ah, can I speak truthfully? We didn’t really talk much.

S: Why would you say such a thing?

Together:(laugh)

seek:S doesn’t do anything. Even after the song is made he only says “Ah that’s good,” or “That sucks.” So around there is the feeling of together “in an uneven strange road.”

So-net:The medly ends with Yuki and Aya’s “MASK DE NIGHT.”

AYA: I wanted to do a masked ball theme, but mixed with Juliana and a modern masked ball. The two of us practiced dancing and stuff.

YUKI: Initially there was harder furi, but we went with the more simple furi.

AYA: We went with it so that, the instant it was seen, you could do it.

So-net:After the three song CD is released, you have a tour through Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.

seek: Thankfully the three places are sold out, and we’ve decided to do a live January 4th at Shibua O-East. Also a single comes out on December 19th. This is a Christmas song, and it has the feel of something planned. Also, the live DVD from Kinema Club comes out on December 7th. If people who haven’t seen us yet watch this DVD, I think the development can be more fun.

Junk Story - Mix Speaker's,Inc. [Night Two]

Welcome to the world of Mix Speaker's,Inc.
[Character Introduction and Night One]

Night Two “DoDo&PaPa”




“What do you mean by “complete?”

Little Angle asked, not understanding the meaning of the female dweller’s sudden words.

“Well, let’s talk more deeply at leisure after. I am Skeleton Witch, a pleasure to meet you. Oi, Moon Wolf!! Food ready?”

“My most humble apologies, Mistress. I shall bring it presently. Rurururururururururururururururururururururururu”




When they had filled their stomachs on lizard salad, spider soup, and snake barbeque, Skeleton witch opened her mouth.。

“Now then, shall we come to the point? This company was set with a specific purpose. Details are here, written in the boss’s notebook. Read there, okay?”




-Gentlemen. The world is now living in poverty. The balance of this world where angels, demons, monsters, evil spirits, fairies, humans have all come to live together is beginning to collapse. At the hands of a group of monsters, it appears that cases where, night after night, humans are attacked are increasing. Are such gentry in my company, not in my company, you ask or not ask, but this is an extremely grave matter, and for it to occur in the world of monsters is shameful.

The three wandering travelers, Little Angel, Little Devil, and Big Franken should soon arrive. I want you to join forces with them and guide the world toward peace. I will send orders from time to time through my pets DoDo&PaPa. Be sure not to forget to feed them. Well then, good luck to you!-

Mr. X




“DoDo&PaPa are in the boss’s room in the basement. I’ll show you the way.”

In the room down the dim stairs, books were pilled in disorder, and in side a crow and a dove were left loose.

“What the hell’s your problem. What the hell’s your problem.” Fluttering his wings, the crow, PaPa pecked at Little Devil’s head.

“What the hell do you mean ‘what the hell’s your problem’? I’ll kill you.” “Come on, calm down. These little guys are pretty cute.” In contrast to PaPa, the dove DoDo stopped on Little Angel’s shoulder and raised his eyes curiously at Big Franken.

“You’ll be working together for a long time, now. Let’s become good friends. Digi Vampire, how about waking up soon?”

“Mumble, mumble. You, bastard, some blood?”

Space Hunter

Space Hunter
translation

Shall I teach you something good?
Next one more will appear from outer space!!

It came down, black lead The alien from the far space
ShowTime Welcome to the Great Horror Face

If you raise your hand it’s over. That’s it.

Invitation to this earth. We’re not beckoning
ShowTime Welcome to the Great Horror Face

If you leave your mark, it’s over. That’s it. Don’t underestimate us!!

Oppressed a little by the alien. The two commanders are (seach)
Only ever running away With a spiritless face (discovery)
In the horrible Movie He’s only being drown The wounded commander (rock on)
3.2.1…bang

Communication changing plans Can’t we be friends?
Identity. If you open your eyes, look it’s just a fake

I’ll fool you Until the next 13th Shall we put on black and white?

The alien is breaking a little. There is no way (seach)
The two commanders are only ever running away (discovery)
In the horrible Movie, they’re only playing. The commander who stopped time (rock on)
3.2.1…bang

Shall I teach you something good? Next one more will appear from outer space!!

The black lead ran in circles Say farewell to the far space
Say Good Bye Again someday Find on this earth

I don’t hate that style After a thousand years you may fit in

The alien from the sky is too early. By the two commanders (seach)
He is seen off To the sky he came from (discovery)
In the horrible Movie he’s only joiking This star’s commander (rock on)
3.2.1…bang
What’s approaching A dream of another dream The man from the sky

If - Mix Speaker's,Inc.

If
translation

I feel as though I could walk again in the dream in which you were
Though right now it’s only a fragment Yes It shines quietly Search for tomorrow.

Told of the end before me In the cherry coloured place
So many times piled up I felt as though it was right by my side
I was afraid of stepping out In the cherry coloured place
So many times piled up If you were next to me

I wonder if my distant voice will someday reach you
Send my memories to the sky we looked up to

The heart I want to send is fragile I am flooded over and lost
To the last you who gave me your hand Still I’m praying for a miracle I want to be close

Spring came and you were gone Even still I won’t forget a thing
So don’t erase the true flower we saw that day
It will return you to your smile

My distant voice will someday certainly reach you deeply
So remember the sky we looked up to from here

I feel as though I could walk again in the dream in which you were
Though right now it’s only a fragment Yes It shines quietly
Let’s search for the light, for the dream that no one else has seen
If you want to see with me, the dream that no one else has seen
It shines, it shines. Believe in tomorrow

約束の森 - Mix Speaker’s,Inc.

約束の森
kanji

耳を済ませば星達のshower
聞こえてくるのはあのメロディー

教えてようねぇ連れていってflower
響き渡るお別れの歌とキスをした
そして鼓動なくした

ほら君の待つバス夜更けに一つ灯をつけてやって来るよ
戻れない約束の森行きの最終

悲しく優しく包み込むこの手で君へと奏でるオーケストラ
さよならさよならの花束囲まれながら眠る

お決まりのHat胸元にspider
聞こえて来るのはあのメロディー

セロ弾きの僕君はうつむく
帰り道の足音は風が掠ってく
そして鼓動なくした

ほら君の居る場所地図にはなくて抜け出す事など出来ないよ
戻れない約束の森それは僕が手の中で造り上げてた
深く続いてるラビリンス
戻れない約束の森永遠の空白
