i was the rinshokuka one , but i think i asked about nine : D?
Ooh okay I can re explain rinshokuka and try to explain hi phi!!
So hi phi club! First with the title phi/Π€ is a Greek symbol for the letter F! Not sure what that means but it's all over the music video and they have it on their clothing in the cult so I assume it's their symbol, or maybe their God is somehow connected to Greece? And the hi club could be Nine saying hello to the cult. Although the Kanji that is "hi" can also be read as ash I think ?
In the lyrics they constantly refer to "nemo" (not the fish π) which is the one they believe to be god. Although it's spelled γη³ which doesn't mean anything on its own but if you mush the two symbols together to make η₯ it means god !
Anyway now with the song!! So it starts with Nine sitting near a TV with a worried look, biting his nails, in his apartment I presume? Ando n the floor you can see a pink slip, which means someone got fired, you could interpret it as Nine being an adult and being fired from his job or it being his parents. He goes outside to clear his mind a bit of his fears and finds a hut. Someone outside invites him in and although it feels fishy, Nine enters. They tell him that "what he's looking for is behind this door" . When Nine enters,he sees a ton of people in chairs, he feels scared but sits down. The cult leader, Mada, comes. In this part they say "avara mada rada" which doesn't mean anything but it's kinda like abracadabra I think? Like a spell to hypnotize those who enter. They offer him red wine(hopefully not blood ) and he drinks it. They start talking about their God and Nine doubts it, but they insist that it's real. They say if he sticks around he can get high up and closer to the god. They tell him by believing in it he must erase everything that is "him" and then all unhappiness will be gone, specifically "say goodbye to unhappy days" . Nine questions this , what about other emotions? but stays further. Mada says we just have to rely and trust what Nemo says. Nine starts thinking about leaving, but eventually decides to do it later (<- dumbass) Nine eventually falls for it and becomes a member of the cult, alongside two kids, Mora and Dom. He starts inviting people, saying that if Nemo truly saves people, then what's so bad? But nine starts to feel sad, not having a lot to give to their God. The song then makes a reference to one of Aesop's fables. The fox and the grapes. Nine related to the fox. The story basically goes as a fox sees a grape vine, feeling hungry it tries to get it but they're too high up and hard to reach, so the fox tells himself they're probably bad grapes anyway. Nine starts telling people that we need to trust Nemo and that those who don't just don't understand. Mada continue to tell them of a perfect world without pain. They travel the fields and everything doesn't seem so bad. They then go to do a ritual which Nine doesn't know about as he's slightly new. They reference a trompe leiol (ignore I can't spell I'm sorry ππ it's a french thing that means something that decieves the eye) They all start to pick up knives and daggers and he gets scared but picks up one too. The people around him stab themselves. Nine gets confused so Mada runs up and stabs Nine and he realizes this is a death cult. They do this so by the time they do the ritual people have no feelings to lose and they will enter a world of paradise. Nine somehow survives or switches back time and declines Mada's drink. Nine is about to get hypnotized again but he tries to fight back against it. This part references Alma Mater, which is a Latin phrase meaning nourishing mother? Maybe referinng to Mada or Nemo??? I think Mada? Then as they are about to celebrate something Nine starts screaming that Nemo isn't real and picks up, throws a chair, picks up a knife and starts destroying stuff I think? Mada is like erm what the freak . Nine says that we will eventually all die and reach salvation but until then we need to cherish ourselves and be us and that all emotions and feelings are important and shouldn't be hidden away. No one is worthless. Nine says that Mada made up Nemo and that it doesn't actually exist , although many people have already died because of it. Nine tries to kill Mada but he doesn't fully die ?? Like a weird immortal being. And at the end of the song, Nine runs out of there and away.
Next rinshokuka was a collab between john and nilfruits although the song was deleted around 2 hours after release due to some controversy with the MV and lyrics(even though Niru was showing it more from a victims perspective people disliked that the mv portrayed sexual assault) The song title is Rinshokuka, which translates to Miser, which means someone who hoards all their money and never spends it ! Names were given to them but the post was deleted almost immediately (John has a tendency to delete a lot of his posts as well :(( ) and I haven't found any screenshots of it so it'll probably be gone forever π
Based on the MV and lyrics, my interpretation is that the two characters got married and they were decently happy for a while. Basic needs like food get expensive and the girl refuses to spend any of the money they made, also wearing ragged clothes and etc. He calls her cheap and worthless and gets mad about it. He starts sexually abusing her as a punishment :( she still continues to do it so he keeps sa'ing her and blaming it on her.. She stops loving him so he concludes its because she only cares about money so at the end of the MV she grabs a knife and kills him. At the end of the song there's also the line "I've come to realize that I don't understand you at all" and I could see it as either of them saying that to each other.
This is just how I interpret the music video and lyrics!! So it might not all be right or what Niru intended !
