- part of my Taishiro [Taichi x Koushiro] REPEAT?_ ficverse (please note any and all notes/warnings for said ficverse!!)

- short version of implied story/plot of this series: T I M E L O O P S - Tri is here because … ah … … - let’s just say it’s probably AT LEAST ONE part of the “start” of it all ah - KOUSHIRO IZUMI VOICE : ( ‘ W H Y ’ ) - DO THEY MAKE IT TO THE END - @ TAICHI & KOUSHIRO, ARE YOU SURE YOU /WANT/ TO ——-

- TBH HOW MUCH do KOUSHIRO or TAICHI even REALLY REMEMBER - MUCH LESS THE REST OF THEM - who even knows after a certain point anymore - timeloops are fun !! ! ! (this particular AMV also explains SOME of it …)

LYRICS / TRANSLATION + FURTHER Taishiro Ficverse-spoilery notes under the “read more” !

[seriously, please note the warnings, the plot is kinda heavy] (please note any and all warnings for K@gepro’s plot too if you look into that!!) - no, it’s NOT a direct parody (but v[ERY] inspired) (if you can’t tell) - watching it in HIGH(ER) QUALITY at the original Youtube link is encouraged! - to do so, go to the original youtube link, click “HD” button, then “ 1080p ” !

dID I FINISH IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY IN  ( SOME PARTS OF )   ( THE WORLD ) ....... ;;;;; 

[ OK BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD THE FINAL VERSION W/SUBS LATER /YEAH/ ] ( fOR NOW ) THIS AMV BE MOSTLY KOUSHIRO BUT ALSO IMPLIED TAISHIROS + YOSHIE-MAMAAAAAAA ( I'M SORRY I still prefer her name as ' Yoshie ' jUST I KNEW IT THAT WAY FOR /YEARS/ ..... ) [*Mrs Izumi’s name is more commonly listed/translated as: “Kae”*] (*implied as she shares this first name with her Japanese voice actor) [*however, the kanji can also be read as “Yoshie” and has at times been Translated by other translators as such in the past]

LYRICS / TRANSLATION + FURTHER Taishiro Ficverse-spoilery notes under the “read more” !

* This original song DOES NOT have an originating music video so this imagery was mainly compiled BY MY IDEAS /YEAH/ * There IS an old Fanmade video to the song ( bUT IT IS NOT OFFICIAL/SEMI-OFFICIAL BY ANY MEANS ) ( unlike the well-known "KageDaze" fanmade video by Wannyanpuu ) [ who later became one of the official Kagepro animators ] ( her music video there was not official but there have been seeming throwbacks to her style in other official music videos at times ... ) * However the Gunjou Rain fanmade video DOES give a clear example of how the original song should be viewed for that canon (should you be interested) * PSUEDO-character deaths implied in song hOWEVER * IT'S MOSTLY VIA FLASHBACKS ..... IT'S A VERY PRETTY SONG I SWEAR ..... * The Psuedo-death does not involve the major character [officially] but it does involve a side/supporting character in original Kagepros series * Psuedo-deaths involving Taishiro/KOUSHIRO ARE here as usual however * part of these were, yes, again lifted from my much earlier KageDaze / Red videos (specifically the “Red” edit clip) * oK BUT * THERE'S A GORGEOUS ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO TOWARDS THE END * Multiple parts of this thing DEFINITELY gave me trouble ( mainly : matching up lyrics to my ficverse while different story themes OTL ) * and also matching them to scenes that aren't filler * later on I'll go and smooth it over + fix glitches but fOR NOW /YEAH/

* I THREW IN SOME 2020!TAISHIROS FOR MAXIMUM FEELS ( THANK YOU TOEI ) ....................................... ;;;;;; ;A;/

{ LYRICS } [ Verses 1 ]

" I CAN'T SLEEP , " YOU wailed,

... so I read you   a storybook ,

... As the raindrops KNOCKED on the roof. ...

When I put in the bookmark ,

and said   I’ll read it again TOMORROW , ...

... You were already snoozing away . ...

... ( instrumental ) [ Verses 1-2 ]

You say you  WANT TO GO   OUT , but the reason  I DON'T  LET YOU ,

... ISN'T BECAUSE I " HATE YOU " AT ALL ... ...

... Yes, it’s about   CONVENIENCE ---

BUT IT PAINS ME IN MY CHEST .

... So I’ve said  " SORRY "  AGAIN AND AGAIN . ... [ Verses 1-3 ]

There’s  A W O R L D  STARTING TO  S P I N ,

And I HAVEN'T EVEN   TOLD YOU  ... about it   yet

But   I TELL YOU ,

" DON'T MAKE "     " EYE CONTACT " ,

so that   SOMEDAY ,

... YOU and    YOUR EYES

CAN DO WHAT  YOU     “ LIKE ”

WITH THE    WORLD  .....

[ Chorus 1 ]

I   HATED   YESTERDAY ,

I   HATED   THE W O R L D ,

BUT I'VE   CHANGED ,

and I’ll     LOVE     TOMORROW

... And might you   REALIZE      " LOVE " ,

MEET S O M E O N E ,

... And  MAKE   A FUTURE    OF YOUR  OWN ?

On your "bed" , you happily    SNOOZE ,

And  IT MAKES ME  SO  HAPPY ,

I’m   ON THE VERGE OF   T E A R S .....

... ( instrumental )

[ Verses 2 ]

There’s more stillness in the night.

Through the gaps in the trees,

... Pleasant breezes continue to blow . ...

... ( instrumental )

Will " TOMORROW " be  SUNNY ?

My chest starts to  HURT AGAIN .

... / I CAN'T LET YOU GO OUTSIDE / . ...

... ( instrumental ) [ Verses 2-2 ]

Making excuses for my sleeplessness,

I REMEMBER SOMETHING .

... A MEMORY from MY YOUTH . ...

ALWAYS WITH MY      “ FATHER ” ( ? )

I waited for [ MY MOTHER ] to [ RETURN ] , ( ?? )

... Though I’d already   WAITED   [ “ DECADES ” ( ??? ) ] . ... [ Verses 2-3 ]

... While [ I ] spent my time alone ,

I    FELL IN LOVE    MYSELF ,

... and things got   B U S Y  ... for me.

... And YOU can   " L O V E "   THIS  SAME WORLD  TODAY ,

With YOUR EYES ,

... and the   WONDERFUL THINGS   you do ...

[ Chorus 2 ]

DAYS   COME AND GO ,

SEASONS PASS ,

I WIPE   YOUR TEARS ,

... AND YOU  S M I L E .

And   FOR THAT    ALONE ,

I want to   HOLD ONTO   YOU   TIGHT

... Or so I   FIND MYSELF   THINKING ...

And if   THE FUTURE   is TO COME

" KNOCKING " ONE of THESE DAYS ,

I want to  SEND THEM OFF

with REASSURANCE and a S M I L E . ...

... ( instrumental / interlude ) ...

[ Interlude Verses ]

... A SUDDEN FAREWELL to  THE WORLD I'D GROWN SO FOND OF.

A FRIGHTENING FAREWELL , one which leaves   you   SO SAD .

                                            I COULDN'T SAY

                              { " I’m sorry . " }     { " Gomen Ne " }

                                         I  W A N T E D  TO SAY :

                               { " I LOVE YOU . " }     { " Aishiteru " }

           ...But " THE WORLD " is ALREADY [ " O P E N I N G " ] .

[ Final Verses ] + ... ( final instrumentals )

... As THE RAINDROPS   “ KNOCK ”   on   THE ROOF ,

... YOU   READ   that        [ " D I A R Y " ]        of    MINE .

... And the tears spilled. [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

... And the tears spilled. [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

... And the tears spilled.  [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

... And the tears spilled.  [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

... And the tears spilled.  [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ]

... And the tears spilled. ..... ... ... . [ / The sound of the “RAIN” is “ KNOCKING ” . ] * ( “ And the tears spilled. ... ” Repeats + Fade outs ) Translation Notes / Musings: * - the more literal line is the former, ( “KNOCKING” in actual line ) ‘ the sound of the ’ “ RAIN ” = “ Tears ”, “ knocking ” implying them falling

{ FURTHER NOTES }

the fanmade music video for original themes (/not/ official or by producers in any way): [ however it's basically exactly what happens canon-wise /yup/ ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGndj2aIEm4 

 spoilery notes RE: PSUEDO DEATHS / WARNINGS: * the singer in the song is the mother of Mary in Kagepro who is a Medusa. * "Don't make eye contact" / etc. re: "EYES" is all related to that plot in Kagepros * in Repeatverse / this AMV this is all working qUITE different hOWEVER * YOSHIE DOES PROBABLY TRY TO INTERFERE AT SOME POINTS * PARTICULARLY IN VAMDEMON ARC y E A H * BOTH IZUMIS PROBABLY ATTEMPT TO LATER ON AS WELL * obviously they're doing this to PROTECT KOUSHIRO re the middle portion verses: * this is also more Kagepros relevant than 'verse relevant but I tried to match it up OTL * basically Kagepros mother is re: above spoiler ALSO part Medusa. She waits decades for her own "mother" to return * I tried to manipulate these bits here with Koushiro and Yoshie / Izumis * basically uh in some timelines MAYBE Yoshie ends up "waiting" in similar ways * i.e. maybe the entire Izumi family could become affected aT POINTS ......... * POSSIBLY INVOLVING IZUMIS WE NEVER REALLY GOT TO SEE ......... * but yeah those lines are probably better read from Koushiro's POV before switching back to Yoshie * i.e. maybe in some timelines it's KOUSHIRO waiting for YOSHIE to return etc * in others Masami or Mr Izumi ends up going first to protect them BOTH and yEAH * in fact it's probably Mr Izumi who first tries to intervene to protect them but * Yoshie gets upset she's not able to do anything * maybe there's timelines that alternate with this theme though

* a bunch of things in notes above kinda were vaguely ?? ? included in the 'verse in this part: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14414505/chapters/40780040 ( which was ALSO inspired by the same song uh ..... yup )

^ I included A BUNCH OF REFERENCE LINKS ABOVE to some of my past posts / Koushiro caps and Japanese version references so you can get a better idea of the themes + Koushiro character develoment / introspections all being presented here + AND HOW TRI’S KOUSHIRO STORYLINE DIRECTLY TIES IN TO EVERYTHING CONNECTED/PRESENTED TO THE ORIGINAL ADVENTURE / 02 STORYLINE SCENES WITH YOSHIE {/KAE}

AND KOUSHIRO’S TENDENCY TO

“Speak formally” * and how he

IMPROVES THROUGHOUT 02/TRI

(I hope my implications are coming through?!???)

( * Since apparently the wider Western / US / English dub fandom tends to COMPLETELY not understand Japanese version!Koushiro’s implied / extended storyline re: him speaking formally most of the time

[also in relation to his use of Japanese honorifics] +

{his insisting use of “ Taichi-san” may ALSO be relevant} and how this all connects to HIS ADOPTION STORYLINE even though . KOUSHIRO’S STORY is ... REALLY NOT that hard to understand you guys COME ON... ... ;;)

* SOMEDAY * SOMEDAY I’LL BE ABLE TO COMPILE ALL THIS KOUSHIRO + IZUMI FAMILY INTROSPECTIONS INTO A * ACTUALLY COHESIVE ANALYSIS

* but today is not that day so HAVE THIS AMV INSTEAD ;A;/
