Part 1Part 2

Kazunari	Ain’t that story insanely funny!?
Kazunari’s Friend	So true! My tummy hurts from laughing!
Kazunari	Ah, sorry for changing the subject, but… Didn’t you say you wanted to join a trend on TikTak about making songs and posting ‘em?
Kazunari’s Friend	Oh, yeah I did.
Kazunari	Well? What’s the sitch?
Kazunari’s Friend	About that, the song’s done but I’m stumped on the lyrics, so I can’t really post it.
Kazunari	Oh, I see~...
	Ah! If it’s cool with you, I can give you some ideas! So like, what kind of genre are you aiming for?
Kazunari’s Friend	Denpa-kei!
Kazunari	Sounds super dope!
Kazunari’s Friend	Right? I got it, Miyoshi! Instead of coming up with ideas, can you just write the lyrics for me?
Kazunari	Wha, the lyrics!? I’d understand if you want me to design the cover, but…
Kazunari’s Friend	Aren’t you smart and stuff? Plus you look like someone who can definitely write trendy lyrics!
	I beg of you. If it doesn’t work out, then it’s all good!
Kazunari	Well I do wanna help out if it’s something I can handle…
	Okie! I’ll give it a shot! But, don’t expect too much from me.
Kazunari’s Friend	Thank you! I’ll send ya the song when I get home, so just think up those lyrics at your own pace!
Kazunari	Gotchu!
Kazunari	Hmm… A repeating… addiction…
Tsuzuru	…Huh, is that Miyoshi-san?
Kazunari	Oh, Tsuzurun!
Tsuzuru	It’s rare to see you this troubled.
Kazunari	Tsuzuruuun, help me out!
Tsuzuru	Eh!? With what?
Kazunari	…And that’s what happened~
Tsuzuru	Okay but asking you to write the lyrics for that kind of reason is rather rash…
Kazunari	Please, help me with the lyrics, I beg!
Tsuzuru	Even if you ask me… lyrics are not my area of expertise.
Kazunari	You’re right~...
Tsuzuru	I can’t help, but maybe you can ask Arisugawa-san to lend you some of his knowledge?
Kazunari	I see~! Thankies, Tsuzurun!
	Alrighty, guess I’ll ask Aririn when I go back to the dorms!
Homare	Fumu, so you are having trouble with writing lyrics, yes?
Kazunari	You listen to music a lot and stuff so maybe you can give me some kind of advice.
Homare	If that is the case, then you may count on me!
Kazunari	So reliable! Well then, here’s the song…
Homare	Oh, this song is quite…!
	Aha, ideas are coming forth! What do you make of these lyrics!?
	A wonderful beeping sound is playing~♪ Is the size of my love a picometer? Or a nanometer?
Kazunari	Woah! Hold up, I need to record it!
Kazunari	I’m done with the transcription of the lyrics!
	How ‘bout turning the “love” here into this “love” and say it 10 times so we can up its denpa-ness?
Homare	Umu, what a good proposal. Then let us change this “wonderful” to “tres bien,” what say you?
Kazunari	Sounds gucci! It could be “tres bieeen” and we can add a heart after that!
	And let’s add in a “hype” somewhere!
Homare	Well, how about placing it around this part?
Kazunari	Around there… Ah, you could get addicted to listening to it!
Homare	Fumu, as expected it is most suitable to put it there.
Kazunari	Let’s keep at it with this pace on the other parts~!

Kazunari	All done! It’s so touching that it’s good!
Homare	A splendid job we did! To think I would create such a masterpiece together with Kazunari-kun!
Kazunari	Aririn, big thanks~! I’ll send a LIME to my friend right away!
Izumi	I’m back. I heard some really enthusiastic voices in here, what’s going on?
Kazunari	Oh, right now me and Aririn were just done making lyrics ‘cause a friend asked me to!
Izumi	That’s amazing!
Kazunari	We just completed the recording for the lyrics, why don’t you take a listen, Director-chan?
Homare	“The beeping sounds are, tres bieeen♪ Is the size of my love a picometer? A nanometer? Non non!”
Kazunari	“Love love love love… Raise the hype♪ To a megaton, a gigaton, LMAO~♪”
Izumi	(J-Just what am I listening to…?)
Kazunari	So, what’re your thoughts!?
Izumi	Err, those are really um, unique, and wild lyrics…!
Kazunari	Well, we were aiming for denpa-kei after all!
Izumi	(So this is what denpa-kei songs are like…?)
Homare	Just as I thought, Director-kun would understand.
Izumi	Y-Yeah, that’s totally the case…
Kazunari	Ah, my friend replied! Let’s see…
	“It’s pretty chaotic but it totally captures denpa-kei! It’s catchy! I love it!” is what they said!
Izumi	I’m glad they liked it.
Homare	Fufun, it is only natural as we were the ones who created such work.
	Oh right, please tell that friend of yours that they absolutely have to add a gong sound after this lyric.
Kazunari	That’s a good idea! I’ll LIME them RN!
Izumi	You’re going to add a gong sound, did I hear that right?
	(This song’s turning more chaotic as we speak…)
Homare	Well, of course! Without the gong sound, it is as if the dessert lacks the cherry on top for it to be perfect.
Kazunari	We wanna up the overall chaos levels so you feel yourself getting crazy hyped too, that kinda thing!
Izumi	S-So that’s how it is.
	(It’s no use, these artists’ senses are too high level for me to keep up with…)
Kazunari	Director-chan, take a looksie!
Izumi	Hm? Is this a TikTak?
Kazunari	Yuppie! I’ll play it now~
Kazunari’s Friend	“The beeping sounds are, tres bieeen♪”
Izumi	Oh, this is…! The song from the other day!
	(Huh, was that the gong sound just now?
	(It actually doesn’t feel out of place. Could I have ascended my understanding levels with those two that I can actually keep up?)
Kazunari	The arrangement made it even better! Right now, this song is so on trend ‘cause it has that strange and catchy feeling to it that made it interesting!
CHOICE 1: It definitely sounds better. [+] Izumi It definitely sounded better than when I listened to it before! Kazunari I’m glad you get it~! Izumi Well even if you say that, I’m not that confident in my understanding… Kazunari Wha, really? Well, did you like the song? Izumi Yup, no matter how many times I listen to it, I like it. Kazunari Then it’s all good! When it comes to stuff like this, it’s not about understanding it, but rather if you liked it or not!
CHOICE 2: What kind of reactions did it get? [+] Izumi What did the people think after listening to the song? Kazunari There’s a bunch like “I entered a trance state when it was the ‘love’ part, it felt great,” that one was common~ I thought up of that one so I feel super good about it~! Izumi Is that so? That part DID leave a huge impression on me! Kazunari For reals!? Izumi Yeah, I also liked that part. Kazunari Damn, your compliments make me way happier than any others’. So, thank you~!
Kazunari	Oh right! Keep watching the vid! My friend put us in the credits at the end there, you see~
Izumi	Ah, you’re right. The credits… say… huh?
	“Lyrics: The Art God’s Favorite☆Pop Genius Duo” …?
Kazunari	It’s the unit name me and Aririn came up with. I absolutely love it if you ask me~!
Izumi	I-I see… What a name that is.
	(...I knew it was impossible to keep up with those two’s senses.)
