A duet for Aya Shameimaru and Hatate Himekaidou. ...There's no dynamic quite as fun as rivalry, so this is a song for the relationship between rival reporters. Their competition to have the most popular newspaper is framed as a risky game, much like a drinking game, that neither wants to lose. The veteran photographer Aya, with an air of cool confidence to cover her shameless methods, is voiced by me. The former shut-in Hatate, newly discovering her sassy calling in life, is voiced by my partner Lori ( / lori-hime ), who also made the awesome photo edits for the video!

“Hey rookie, let’s play a game.”
“Shameimaru, what a shame! The loser is not gonna be me.”
“Now, this is heavy stuff. Is your stomach strong enough?”
“Like, are you serious? Don’t go taking me for a lightweight.”
“Just remember, you can quit if it’s too much.” “You’re on!”
Each time you see a goddess who’s late slacking on her harvest,
Yes, each time you catch a hint of holy scandal, take a shot!
Each time you see a spirit who’s too shy to let you near it,
Yet, once thinking backs are turned, she shows her colors, take a shot!
Thrilling chases leave us all intoxicated.
Folks need someone to connect the dots.
You’ll see, once the article is printed, dated,
They’ll pay many pennies for my thoughts.
This mountain brims with danger and life,
And the sweetest scent of strife in the morning will lead the way!
Unravel the mysteries winding in ribbons around it like a great big roll of film.
Outside of my walls, there’s a brand new world of stunning material free to use.
Speed won’t bring success - it takes skill and finesse to impressively deliver up the news.
“Big talk for a shut-in no one knows.”
“Some nerve for a busybody no one likes.”
“Tell you what. Admit the best paper, and I’ll get you a subscription on the house.”
“Whatever! Crow all you want, but I’ll make you eat your words.” “Ready?”
Each time you see a human, who’s wandered up here assumin’
Her guts are enough to guide her through the wilds, take a shot!
Each time you see a tengu who’s just itching to offend you,
Now, each time she gets a bit too pushy-pushy, take a shot!
Some just aren’t cut out to get the headlines broken.
Don’t try too hard to be what you’re not.
There’s still too many ideas left unspoken.
Let me show them all what you forgot.
This mountain brims with nature and light,
And it’s time to take my flight as your paper trail leads the way.
Oh, you wait and watch as my words will shine ten times as bright as any flash upon your film.
You must understand, a reporter will latch onto the story and never stop.
I’m climbing this rock, ‘cause I’m more than just talk, talk, talk, talk…
And I will see you from the top!
