Oh boy have I not watched Psi for a long time, oh man have I missed out on Some Stuff (I’ve only heard the names of like three Digimon mentioned but oh man did those names alone come with Some Package)
Let’s watch episodes 25-31 then and catch up!
So just to recap, last time Agumon evolved to Mugendramon, fucked some shit up because Taichi totally 100% legit died, temporary evolved to WarGreymon I think (I can’t remember man lmao) and beat the shit outta DoneDevimon
25! Dive to the Next Ocean!
Uhhh who the fuck yeeted ElDoradimon into the sky
This is so bad
They should die so hard
OHHH CLOUD CONTINENT IS IN THE SKYYY YESSS I LOVE THAT
Have I mentioned how much I love seeing the kids interact with their non-partner Digimon (and vice versa)? Because I do, I love this a lot (even if it ain’t much)
Ohhh Mugendramon was so sexy... I wanna rewatch episode 24 but I really need to catch up on this first
ElDoradimon’s gonna die from that fall, right? His joints are gonna get pulverized
Zurumon! :D I love these lemon jelly goops
HIKARI!!!!!! Baby!!
I wish Taichi and co would be like, trying to even think about how they’re gonna survive the fall- like I know Leomon saved them but they couldn’t like plan to just Get Saved, IDK it’s kinda off-putting how they’re so calm
Leomon to the rescue tho! Finally!
Patamon is so chumby, v good
Holy shit Leomon punches HARD, a single punch just straightened out ElDoradimon in one go, holy fuck
Finally they’re worried about dying from the fall
What happened to the Agu and Gabu being too exhausted to fight (I’m sorry this is just a massive pet peeve for me, ‘esp cause there’s like no reprecussions for the Digimon for pushing themselves here)
(Like it’d be one thing if they managed to evolve out of desperation but this ended up being like bad for them and force them to take longer rests later or IDK kill them, but when you’re just like “I’m too tired to fight- oh wait my friend is slightly in more danger now than before, I guess I can fight again”)
(This is an issue with most MotW shows and even some shounen series (I’m looking at you Bleach) so it’s not unique to Psi, p sure Adventure had this issue to some degree too, but still man, it’s a massive pet peeve and bothers me so much)
26! Break through the sea monster barricade!
God I love that the Cloud Continent is actually in the sky
Quality content (slightly cursed maybe)
Seadramon! Honestly I really love Seadramon?? Like it’s such a simple, minimalistic design but... IDK man I love Seadramon, it’s such a cool Digimon
OH SHIT IT EVOLVED! :O
I’m sorry I am just so not interested in the real world crisis (in the show), it’s... I’m sorry it’s so Mundane and I’m here for the Fantastical
WARUSEADRAMON! THE SLIGHTLY MORE GOTH SEADRAMON!! YEAAHHHHH
God I wish Psi just had perma-evolution, so many of my issues would be solved with perma-evolution
Aweeee yeah, MegaSeadramon’s here too, now we got both of them, yeeeeee
I love how Hikari is just quietly judging the other kids
Y’all okay with talking about Taichi being in a different world right in front of Hikari? I mean She Knows Things and they all just got taken to back to that world but still like, should you try to be more inconspicuous maybe
Oh my god how many times have they used that clip of Falcomon throwing bombs in this episode- four? That’s a lot yo
Taichi’s gonna get vored again, press F for him
The water is so deep how is Zudomon standing- oh I need to stop asking these things
HIKARIIIIII SHE’S HEEEREEE YEEEEEE
27! To the New Continent!
"Hikari, who called you?”
“I don’t know :)”
Honey that is so ominous I love you
AGUMON COMFORTING HIKARI AAAAAA I LOVE THAAAT
YESSSSS I LOVE THIS
This image has heavy Digimon Kaiser energy in it
I love how Psi!Jyou is like a try-hard in trying to help (while OG!Jyou was always struggling with figuring out what the right thing to do was etc)
Is... is the enemy a Tortamon? Oh yeah it’s Tortamons
OH WOW THERE’S A LOT OF THEM
OH SHIT IT’S AN GROUNDDRAMON! OH GOD THIS IS GRUESOME
Ikkakumon’s gonna get vored, F
You know I never thought Grounddramon would be so chomby based on the Bandai art but I guess Groundramon’s a real chomper
“Everyone, give Angewomon your power!”
GIGA DESTROYER AAAAAAAAAA
OH IT’S THE BASTARD!! DARK KNIGHTMON!!! THE SEXY BASTARD!! The one I’ve heard an interesting theory about... But I ain’t saying anything fornow
PATAMON EVOLVES??? (On command which is kinda bs)
ANGEMOOOOOON YEAAAAAHHHHHH
NEW ENDING TOO, YAY
Ohhh this ending has such nice, soft but jolly energy c: Also yay Tailmon
28! The Children’s Fight for Survival!
BTW Patamon with angel wings was a lowkey hilarious visual, 10/10 would laugh again
Still don’t like how we just got Angemon on demand like that
Oh yeah, out-of-context I heard a theory that DarkKnightmon is Tailmon and hearing Dark Knightmon’s voice, yeah I can see that (not to mention their facination with Hikari)
Oh man those are some Big Wings
Whu happen, did the kids get yeeted back to the Human World?? Oh no they’re still here
I bet Angemon’s dead again lmao
LMFAO JYOU FINALLY GETS TO CATCH A BREAK--
NANIMON NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh Patamon’s okay- REALLY TIRED (thank you Psi) but okay
I NEVER DISLIKED NANIMON UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT
I AM SO UNCOMFORTABLE
PLEASE GO AT LEAST 500 METERS FURTHER AWAY FROM JYOU, PLEASE
Hikari being worried for MetalGreymon ;__;
Aweee yeah HIkari’s special Evolution Powers are still here! GET ‘IM WARGREYMON!!
Whoop Hikari got spirited away, F (she’ll be fine, SkullKnightmon ain’t gonna do shit to her, I’m sure)
Hikari volunteered to go... ;_;
29! Escape the Burning Jungle!
THERE’S MORE OF THEM
I mean at least they’re all just chillin’ and enjoying the bath instead of just staring at Jyou. I’ll considder that an improvement
YEAHHHH MEGADRAMONS!!
Ooooo a single lil Lopmon, I wonder if this will be an important character later
I like Woodmon, Woodmon are cool and chill
YEAH, DEFEND THE SMALL AND INNOCENT!
WOODMON NOOOOOOO ;A;
NOOOOOO A BUDMON DIED!!! NOT THE BABIES!!!
What do you mean MetalGreymon hurt when the tiny Allomon bit him ON HIS METAL ARM
I- I need to stay quiet or else I’m gonna end up with too many questions. I mean I already have too many but the less I question it the better
Woodmon, Budmon, I love your energy, please aim for Tankdramon’s eye, you could blind that fucker with ease
PARROTMON?!
30! WARGREYMON AAAAAAA
Man I have been quiet through this entire episode so far lmao
ANYWAY CROSSMON! HELL YEAH have we seen Crossmon animated before?
GIGA DESTROYER AAAAAAAAAAA anyways I think this is the first tme we’re seeing Crossmon animated (unless my memory is garbage, which it might just be)
Aaaand Taichi is dead
OH, HIS CREST IS THERE
WHAT’S THIS
WHAT’S THIS
Agumon....... I love you..........
Man this animator is making Crossmon look vaguely too humanoid for my taste.... And MetalGreymon’s super fucking jacked yo
NEW SONG YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
OH THAT’S SOME SEXY SEXY ANIMATION
OH WARGREYMON’S HUUUGE BRO
HOLY FUCK GAIA FORCE ANNIHILATED ALL OF THEM (but didn’t cause any environmental damage? Handy!)
Lopmon’s totally like Cherubimon or something, right? Reborn Cherubimon, right?
31. MILLENNIUMON
HERE IT IS, THE HEAVY PACKAGE I MENTIONED, THE EPISODE TITLE THAT MADE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR MINDS WHEN IT GOT ANNOUNCED
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING PSIIIII where the fuck are you going yoooooo
God WarGreymon’s so fucking big holy shit
OH YEAH LOPMON’S TOTALLY LIKE CHERUBIMON OR SOMETHING (I mean it’s not a plottwist by anymeans lmao)
LMAO Skull Knightmon looked away when Hikari noticed them looking at her lmao tsundere ass fucker
Wait the temple was also on Cloud Continent??? Like that whole area was still a part of Cloud Continent?????????? The geography of this world confuses me yo
BAKEMON!!! THERE’S BAKEMON!!! I LOVE BAKEMON SO MUCH!!! GIMME THE GHOSTIES!!!
NOOO MILLE WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BAKEMON BABIES!! FUCK YOU LEAVE MY GHOST BUDDIES ALONE
YESSSS CHERUBIMON
OH IT WAS MILLE WHO STARTED THIS ENTIRE FUCKING MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE, HUH
WAIT FUCK MILLE IS BEHIND THE ENTIRE BS IN PSI
...AGUMON CAN EVOLVE TO MUGENDRAMON, WHO IS LIKE, KEY COMPONENT #1 TO MILLE
OH GOD WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
AGUMON EVOLVING TO MUGENDRAMON WASN’T JUST A CUTE REFERENCE TO THE DARK MASTERS, IS THERE GONNA BE THING WHERE AGUMON IS USED TO RECREATE MILLENIUMON??? (And they have to get Agumon Out Of There like they had to extract Tailmon (and Meicoomon until they gave up) out of Ordinemon in tri.???)
ANGEWOMON!!! THERE SHE IS!!
PSI SAYS OFANIMON RIGHTS
Oooo we’re on Eternal/Mugen Continent... Oooo :oc
I like how Sora is the Dedicated Character who will be there when we get like Backstory lmao
METALFANTOMON?! :O YEEAAAHHHH (Ngl when I saw the pink scythe for a moment I was hoping for Jokermon.......)
Oh wow that’s a lot of MetalFantomons
Man Kabuterimon sure is flying quietly (I mean adding the flying sound effect probbaly wouldn’t add much here but... It’s so quiet)
OH SHIT WE’RE GOING TO ULTIMATE ALREADY
I am gonna say, because Psi is constantly moving, like there’s constantly an oncoming threat and the characters never get to take a fucking break (that’s longer than 5 minutes), it just... Because there’s no contrast between danger and peace, it makes the non-stop danger feel far less dangerous imo
DOGGO DIGIMON!!
KOMONDOMON!!
OH SKULL KNIGHTMON HAS MILLE
OH FUCK DUDE
There is one more episode out but sadly I can’t watch it yet because region lock. I do know there’s an interesting, familiar face in there tho and I’m excited for that!
I... I... I can’t believe he actually said that...
“They’re cool pants!” KOUSHIROU LMAO
Anyways, episode preview!
Aaaand nothing of value was seen there. I mean I do know what Patamon probably evolves into because I do follow the Digimon Twitter so like, I saw the relevant art they shared but ye
Anyways a lot of these episodes were dull as usual, I didn’t feel like I missed out on much tbh aside from the sexy animation and the lore
This really drives it home to me how not having a villian of somekind just constantly present and active really makes a story so much more flat for me... Like I ain’t gonna argue Devimon or MetalSeadramon were interesting villians, but even just seeing them planning their next moves outloud and talking to their minions drove home what kind of people they were, and they weren’t even the most Packed-With-Personality villians in Adventure.
And while SkullKnightmon is there... they’re just kinda standing around. I don’t know much about them really and it makes me sad
(Look I’m sorry I’m a filthy villian-stan and not having interesting villians to stan makes me sad)
Anyways, as always, I am definitely looking forward to whatever the fuck Psi is planning on doing because 1. Holy Shit It’s Milleniummon and 2. Holy fuck we got WarGreymon and it’s only episode 31, what the fuck are they planning on doing with the rest of the series and indeed 3. Patamon evolves into what

monmongary week day 5: motorcycles
honestly this was a prompt i really wanted. i mean - there’s the fact that ed rides motorcycles and no one is taking advantage of this delicious morsel of information. this is a gem. so here we are.
also i said og that i didnt want any of the prompts to be related to current situation and yet this one takes place in current situation lamao.
Also the title comes from an old gif @allbeendonebefore made like - a number of years ago.
also also sorry gary is out of this one. BUT HEY, IT’S THE ONLY PROMPT HE’S OUT OF. CONSIDERING MY TRACK RECORD THIS IS GOOD.
Vroom Vroom Tabarnak
Étienne follows the sound of the faint music in search for his boyfriend, still half asleep, but slowly coming to.
He had woken up to a quiet house and wondered briefly, where the other inhabitants of the household had gone off to. His first answer was a note left on the kitchen table, from Calvin, stating that he was off to run errands and pick up groceries. He has no idea when the message was left, but from the sounds of it, Calvin might still be out. The house is far too quiet, it’s odd, and it reminds him too much of before. There’s another note, from Edward, besides it, that says he’s in the garage (because, apparently, in this world, garages are a separate building from houses and Étienne will never ever understand that. Ever.) Therefore, Étienne heads off towards the garage after putting on a sweater.
He knows better now.
It’s then that Étienne hears the music, muffled and coming from towards the garage, and he decides to follow it to see if it would lead to Edward.
He’s not sure what he expects to find when he opens the door, but he’s surprised by it and takes a moment to observe the spectacle before him, for it is a spectacle and he’s quite pleased he’s stumbled upon it.
The music amps up with the door open and Étienne recognises the popular rock song playing from the speakers or radio that must be hidden somewhere in the garage. The truck is outside so that Edward could have more space to work and in the middle, he sees Edward, tinkering away on what seems like a piece of scrap metal. Étienne can’t really tell what it is his boyfriend is doing, but he observes and watches silently, his mind entertained for the moment.
Edward whistles along to the song, unaware that he has an audience and it takes Étienne a moment to realise that Edward looks completely and utterly content with the world. There’s a soft smile to his lips as he fishes a tool out of his toolbox, before he returns to the hunk of metal and keeps working at it. There’s at least three layers of grime on him, a stain of oil across his left cheek and a dirty rag that may have been once white hangs from his dark jeans.
He looks – beautiful – gorgeous – at home, here in his garage tinkering away on this project of his and Étienne is content watching, soaking up Edward’s peaceful aura for a moment. It’s a different look to him – one Étienne hasn’t seen often, but it suits Edward – tremendously. He thinks he could get away with going unnoticed – that Edward will never need to know that he had walked in on him and his little side project, but then Mercury decides to show up as well, curious as ever, and maybe a little lonely herself, and she manages to squeeze past Étienne’s legs, before Étienne can properly stop her.
Edward hears her approach – hears the dangling of the tags on her collar and he stops to wipe the grime from his hands before he bends down to pet her head. He crouches low to be more on level with her and she absolutely goes for it, putting her front legs up on his thigh in order to lick his face. Edward laughs and Étienne briefly wonders if he can bottle up the sound and let it nourish his soul on a cold winter day. He regrets not having his phone with him to snap a photo of this tender moment, but consoles himself that at least he witnessed it.
It’s then that Edward looks his way – from where Mercury came and then he spots him. Étienne tries to look casual, as though he hadn’t been standing there like a fool for the better part of the past fifteen minutes, but – he knows Edward can see right through him, even if he acts nonchalant. He lets it slide and figures it’s best if he walks into the garage to at least retrieve his dog, if Edward doesn’t want to be bothered.
“Glad to see you’re finally awake,” Edward says as a greeting and Étienne knows there’s no bite behind it – no tease or illusion to him oversleeping or being lazy. Edward is very careful not to wake him, tries to be quiet in the morning – Calvin as well, by extension, probably because Edward told him.
“Hmm, yeah, what’s all this?” He asks as he drapes himself over Edward’s shoulders, mindful of the dirty rag and other stains. He’s in a borrowed sweater and he’s not sure the sweatpants are his either anymore.
“This, my dear, is a 1967 Triumph Bonneville,” Edward says proudly, looking at the scrap of metal as though it is a first-born child. Étienne blinks, convinced he’s missed something and Edward laughs when he sees the confused look on his face, “Or, at least, it will be. I’ve been working on this old clunker for ages – on and off as I find parts and have time. With confinement and such I’ve had more time to tinker away at her and she’s finally starting to look like a bike!”
Étienne isn’t sure it looks like much of anything, but Edward looks far too happy and pleased for him to burst his bubble. Instead, he nods and lets his mind wander to pleasant images of Edward riding motorcycles. It’s a good daydream, one he’s very familiar with.
“You know,” Étienne starts, his voice a whisper in Edward’s ear and his mind still conjuring pleasant images of Edward in nice leather jackets and tight leather pants, “I do recall you offering me a ride once upon a time, many, many years ago...” It had been summer of 87, July 23rd, to be exact, but – Edward doesn’t need to know. Étienne isn’t even sure why it is he remembers the day, just that Edward had been in town for a visit, they’d been hanging out, and Edward had let slip that he’d bought an old bike and had been working on it and was looking forward to a ride.
Étienne’s mind had stilled, stalled and booted back up as it tried its best to wrap itself around this delicious morsel of information. Even then, his mind had gone to leather jackets, tight pants, defined boots, and Edward with a motorcycle between his legs. Windswept hair, the attitude, the casual smile and easygoing saunter... he’d been a mess over the thought.
Étienne had casually mentioned he’d love to have a ride. Edward had said he’d save him one.
The problem had been that at the time, Edward seemed allergic to the idea of having Étienne over, afraid his friend would be bored out of his mind in his city, and so, Étienne had only rarely visited, and when he had, there’d never been time for that ride.
It’s a tragedy, Étienne knows, and he figures it’s a good time as any to remedy that.
“Did I now?” There’s a teasing edge to Edward’s question and Étienne can’t help but grin against his boyfriend’s shoulder. He takes in the smell of grass, gas, and Edward and finds they all mesh really well together.
“You did; I’m still waiting for that ride, mister.”
“Well, unfortunately, the Triumph still isn’t ready, but lucky for you, I have more than one bike. We can go after you actually eat something and once I shower.”
Étienne makes a face at the thought of breakfast, but he supposes it’s a fair bargain. Edward’s been very adamant about him having a minimum of two square meals a day – almost sits with him to make sure he eats something. He knows it comes from a good place in his heart and he is trying. Therefore, he nods, calls Mercury back to him, before she gets her paws into something she shouldn’t and heads towards the kitchen, leaving Edward to finish off with what he was doing.
Étienne has no qualms admitting (to himself) that he’s fantasised about Edward in leather many times over the years, since that day in 1987, but nothing prepares him for the actual sight of Edward in actual leather. The pants are nice and tight; hug every curve and every muscle of his legs just right, the jacket is a thing of wonders, with patches in various colours on it. It’s so very masculine and so very sexy – so very rebel bad boy. He loves the look – absolutely has a thing for this look and it also helps that Edward hasn’t bothered drying his hair, has merely passed a hand through it to comb it back. There’s something seductive and provocative about the way Edward looks – about the confidence that seems to roll off his shoulders and Étienne doesn’t even stop himself from staring. Leans against the wall and lets his eyes drink in the sight. Edward looks good this way. Étienne commits every detail of this look to memory. He gives an appreciative nod and Edward smirks, even goes as far as striking a pose for him.
“Like what you see, Maisonneuve?”
“Oh, absolutely, Murphy,” He replies, matching his tone, levelling with him. Étienne likes that they can do this now – that there’s no shame between them. That they can tease and taunt and even flaunt without fear. He likes this side of Edward. A lot. Edward would ask him to bend over for him right then and there, or to get on his knees and suck him off and he would. Without question. (He would on any other occasion as well, but this look is doing things to him. He has a thing, maybe. He knows he has a thing for Edward – that’s not a surprise to anyone at this point. But Edward? In leather? And actually seeing it for himself? It is a thing of beauty and he mourns the fact that it has taken this long for it to become a reality.)
Edward shakes his head, amused, and then tosses a jacket to Étienne who somehow manages to catch it before it falls to the floor. “What’s this?” He asks as he looks at the jacket. It’s nice, a dark navy blue and it smells of well loved leather and of Edward.
“It’s for you – it might be a little big on you, but you should wear it.”
Edward gives him a look that might be a little self-indulgent and Étienne wonders for the space of a brief moment if Edward isn’t trying to live a fantasy himself. Étienne shucks on the jacket and it is a little big, but he likes the way it falls on his shoulders and if he’s to judge by it, Edward likes it as well.
“All right, let’s go.”
Edward leaves a note for Calvin, in case he gets back before them, and Étienne follows him out.
“Have you ever ridden on a bike?” Edward asks him as Étienne takes a good look at the motorcycle. It’s a nice model, he supposes, looks – more recent, maybe – he couldn’t tell, and his mind blissfully blanks out for a moment when his boyfriend mounts it. He looks – extremely hot doing so and so very much at ease, that Étienne takes a moment to appreciate the sight. He has definitely missed out on this.
It’s strange to say, but he has actually never been on a motorcycle before. Of all the people he’s been with, of all the rides he’s gotten, it has never been on such a device. He laughs to himself, amused, and when Edward asks him what’s so funny, Étienne tells him that he’s a motorcycle virgin, and isn’t it nice that Edward gets to pop that proverbial cherry of his.
Edward’s cheeks turn a lovely shade of pink and Étienne loves it.
“The rules are quite simple. Hang on tight, don’t let go – and don’t fucking try to do anything stupid.” Edward tells him as he hands him a helmet. Étienne nods and climbs behind Edward. Hanging on tightly will not be a problem and if he sits a little closer to Edward, if he presses himself nice and snug against him, Edward doesn’t say anything about it, and if anyone asks, Étienne will simply say that he would hate to fall off.
They’re off with a roar soon after and Étienne squeezes Edward tightly, surprised by the sudden burst of speed and the wind blowing right through him. It’s an exhilarating feeling, an instant high, almost, and Étienne briefly wonders if there’s a connection to be made there. It takes him a moment to get a feel for the wind and the balance of his head against it, what with the helmet and such, but when it no longer feels like he’s fighting to look straight ahead, he takes in the blur of buildings and trees as they whizz by.
He laughs, unable to stop himself, as a feeling of freedom he seldom ever feels courses through him. He wonders why it is he’s never tried this before, considering there is very little he hasn’t tried at least once, and makes himself a note to ask Edward for more rides, before he decides to head back home.
He’s half convinced they must be speeding beyond measure and he’s quite surprised when he manages to get a look at the speedometer and sees that Edward is respecting the limit and that they’re cruising at a steady sixty. Yet, when Edward zooms away, manoeuvres the bike from one lane to the next, passes cars as if they’re standing still, it feels like they’re going faster than ever and Étienne would love for this feeling to last for a lifetime.
“All good?” Edward asks him over the noise, when they get to a red light.
“Absolutely!” He responds, wide grin taking over his face. Edward answers with a soft smile of his own, before he pushes his visor down and then they’re off again.
There’s no real point to the ride and Edward goes through calm streets and busy streets, crosses over one bridge and Étienne experiences the sights of the city through a new angle. All the while, he holds on closely and never misses an opportunity to snuggle up to his boyfriend, when they need to stop at a streetlight.
It feels like they’ve been on the road for hours, but Étienne is quite surprised when they make it back to Edward’s and he notices that it hasn’t been quite that long. He’s a little unstable when he un-mounts the bike and Edward is there to offer steady hands as he helps him off. Étienne welcomes the contact and settles for a proper hug after he’s ridden himself of the helmet.
“So? Did you like it?”
“I loved it,” He says with emphasis and Edward’s smile is part relieved, part pleased. Étienne thinks it’s a very good smile on him – goes well with the bad boy look Edward has going on and manages to tell him so. The lovely pink from earlier returns to Edward’s cheeks and he mumbles something or other as he puts the bike and the helmets away.
When he’s done, Étienne follows him back inside and when he goes to remove his jacket, Edward tells him to leave it on a little longer.
Étienne laughs and does as he’s told. He has not, is not and will never be one to say no to Edward and follows his boyfriend further into the house, to wherever it is Edward wants to go.

A Comprehensive Guide to DESURABBITS
Hey guys, your friendly cephalopod here to tell you all about the group I’ve fallen in love with!
(ripping of shades sorry not sorry)
So what is this group?
Formed as DEATHRABBITS (デスラビッツ) in late 2013 when the idol group usa☆usa Shoujou Club (usa☆usa少女倶楽部) of Mochizuki Emi, Okawa Yuzu, and Yasui Karin did a crossover unit featuring the section chief of their indies label G-ANGLE RECORDS and vocalist of the digital hardcore unit AKIRADEATH, Kanzaki Akira. While “Bucho” supplies backing death metal screams and often stands around menacingly in the background, the girls sing and dance like any other idol group. Their style is often described as “Japanese Death Pop”, often compared to BABYMETAL and (OG) LADYBABY with how it has maybe a slight bit of an edge compared to other songs in the idol genre, plus metal influences.
For the past six years, they’ve evolved their sound in a variety of different ways, trying different styles with their latest released song “Sotsugyou Shoujo- Mirai E” taking on more of a rock influence. They’re one of those groups that tends to just throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks. One of these being “ramen editions” of their singles. Starting in 2016, the singles sold at their live shows are packaged with dry ramen, and purchasing one also sends packets of ramen to disenfranchised areas of Malaysia. Unfortunately as of 2019, this is being discontinued (although the members and staff have expressed interest in replacing this with ramen edition goods). They’ve also changed their name (confusingly) a few times as well-- to Desu.Rabbits (です。ラビッツ) in 2016, and recently to DESURABBITS (デスラビッツ) in February 2019. Either way, most fans affectionately refer to them either as “DesuRabi” or “Rabbits.”
Also fun fact, Bucho is bffs with Ladybeard because of course those two are friends. They crowdfunded a unit song that’s a collaboration between their groups called “DEADLIFT RABBITS”
Members!
Mochizuki Emi (望月愛実)
Currently 17 and about to start her final year in high school, Emi is the youngest member of the group and was only a sixth grader in elementary school when she joined. Her parents were both involved in the music industry, leading her to become interested in becoming a singer from an early age. She’s the lead vocalist of the group as well as the center of all currently released songs. She’s the one who gets all of the long solo parts and has always had a rather strong voice since she joined.
Emi’s grown up A LOT since the early days (they’ve never posted heights on their profiles, so we’re not sure, but she has guessed that she’s grown about 15cm (~6 inches) and has gotten a much more mature hairstyle. As the baby of the group, in some of their older material, she would often come across as a little spoiled and quick-tempered and compared to that she’s really mellowed out, becoming more mature and cool-headed.
Her English pronunciation is impeccable, but she actually isn’t very good at speaking it in conversation.
Before member colors were abolished in 2019, her image color was pink!
She also posts song covers on her personal Youtube channel, but it hasn’t been active for a while.
Okawa Yuzu (大川柚)
Yuzu is the leader and often the one tasked with leading MCs and acting as the spokesperson of the group. Since joining, her catchphrase has been “Always full of energy,” which is something that describes her well. While she isn’t necessarily a ball of sunshine bouncing off the walls, she has more of an intense “Let’s give 100% to everything” sort of energy to her. She takes her role as leader very seriously; consulting with staff about the direction of the group and recently dying her hair ash pink and requesting that her new costume look “strong and like she can fight in it” in order to really highlight how their new era is about taking a new direction.
Since early childhood, Yuzu has aimed for a career in show business. Originally wanting to be a talent or a broadcaster, she eventually studied dance in order to become an idol. From there she made connections with singer-songwriter and producer of other idols and artists (such as KOTO, Terashima Yufu, and TsubasaFly), SAWA. She is the best dancer in the group, so look for her if there’s a dance break.
Her voice is the deeper one out of the girls, although she doesn’t get as many solo parts as Emi. It was announced recently that she will be getting her first center song as the double A-side with “Sotsugyo Shoujo”, “Demo, Nigenna.”
She’s also an avid bookworm and very studious, and will be attending university this spring.
Her member color was previously purple!
Yasui Karin (安井夏鈴)
Karin is the oldest of the three girls and the mood maker. She’s carefree and my pace beyond my pace. If she actually speaks during an MC (and isn’t just staring off into space the entire time), she will most likely forget what she’s saying halfway through the sentence because she’s always off in “Kariko World” as she calls it. She has a very distinct way of speaking that’s very slowly rhythmic, so she will often get speaking lines in songs (and recently something of a rap verse). Her singing voice is also the most “idol-like” of the three-- high pitched and sweet-- but while she also doesn’t get many solos, it’s very easy to pick out. Also she has such sweet guitar skills. She and Tomo-zo should totally collaborate. Totally.
I can’t find much about her background, but I do want to say on a personal note that she was the first member to remember my name and that I was a Bucho oshi after even the first time I saw them. And every time she’s the one taking the cheki, the camera “somehow” doesn’t have any film in it and you two just have to hold that pose for a bit. Karin will also be attending university in the spring and I am so proud of her.
She used to be the green member!
Kanzaki Akira (神崎晃) Bucho (部長)
The 41-year-old section head (or “bucho” in Japanese) at the record label G-ANGLE RECORDS with a background in singing in metal, grindcore, enka, and classical styles who was a vocalist in a handful of metal and rock bands from high school that never went anywhere, Bucho officially emerged in the music world in 2006 with the underground digital hardcore duo AKIRADEATH. As such, Bucho’s role in DESURABBITS is to provide backing death metal vocals (and rap). At 190cm (~6′5′’) with his gas mask and body armor, he can strike an intimidating figure. Despite this, he usually plays the part of a bumbling goofball of an “uncle” figure to the rebellious teenage girls. He himself is a huge idol wotaku (which is really annoying at events when you’re trying to get a two-shot with him and he’s wandered off to get in line for a different idol group. The girls however seem to find it hilarious to yell across the very crowded room for him to get back here because Loren wants to take a cheki with him) and has done video streams talking about the state of the idol industry. While he definitely doesn’t dance (but is incorporated into the choreography sometimes), he does his best in the back to kind of furi-copy or give gestures for the wota-gei if he’s not bumping into things.
As technically a part of the record label staff, there is something of a debate over his status of a member. Since the early days of the group, there was a theme of “Emi, Yuzu, and Karin vs. Bucho,” with even several of their one-man concerts being titled as such and given the caveat of “if tickets sell out, Bucho will be fired.” However, as of their 2019 makeover, it was announced that they will be “graduating” from this image and “allowing” Bucho to be a member.
In the earlier singles, his involvement was a lot larger (often having full verses), but his vocal parts have been scaled down a lot since 2015. Since 2018, he has remedied this by often having a DJ set up behind the girls and DJing live along with their performances (doing some sick mashups while singing, it’s pretty sweet), and their most recent song plays this up. He also does solo DJing as “DJ Bucho.” Not to be confused with “DJ Akira,” which is just what he calls himself when he talks in an “ikemen voice.”
His member color was black!
Okay, so what about their music?
WELL I’M GLAD YOU ASKED. HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF MY OPINIONS.
“Idol STAR WARS”
Their very first song. The girls are at peak baby. Emi is a literal fetus.
I actually really like the instrumental for this, it has a bit of a gritty electronic edge to it. It sets the precedent for their style of “cute but with a screaming man”, but is a bit more so, because Bucho actually has verses???
The chorus is pure sugar pop though I love it
But what I love more is Bucho just hecking going off with the verbal keysmash screams after the final chorus. Fucking spectacular you funky bastard.
I’m pretty sure they only filmed like seven minutes of video for the music video. I’m not convinced Bucho and the girls were ever in the same building.
“Hell Near Bucho ~ Ugokisugi da yo Nihonjin 2013 ~”
The B-side off of Idol STAR WARS, so still pretty old form with the line distribution but
Bucho screaming about having a hernia for four minutes
ngl because of the title being partly in English and the album version having a random-ass intro with an American woman talking about Bucho battling an endless battle with the enemy of “hell near” i didn’t actually make the connection for months and thought this was like. DesuRabi Lore.
OKAY BUT THAT CHORUS IS SO CATCHY AND PEAK IDOL I LOVE IT
And A+ screaming I love it
I really want to see it live at least once because the “Hell! Near! Bucho!” chant part sounds like it would go so hard
“Koisuru Kisetsu”
Second single, getting into their style a bit more
But they still acknowledge that like... Bucho has a name.
I highly recommend checking out the subbed version because the things Bucho is screaming about are just. What.
Literal Rabbits to represent Emi, Yuzu, and Karin
Emi, Yuzu and Karin just being like “The lyrics are kinda dark... Bucho’s singing about his love life again lmao let’s just hecking change this song because we wanna sing something else
Just hecking shove him behind some fake cherry trees. He’ll be fine.
“Omatsuri JAPAN!! Kokuhaku Night”
This is probably their most straight-up idol song. Like you could legit just have this song without him grunting in the background, but why would you want that.
Like that sounds weird by itself but trust me it really pumps up the energy of the song
It’s one of the songs that’s an absolute bop at lives, especially when they shuffle around who does the “Daisuki desu” line. And then we mosh.
Listen it just has such a great energy that you don’t always get in the “cute summer love song” niche of idol songs and I greatly appreciate this
“DESURABBITS Gun no 7 Kajou”
Another one I highly recommend watching the subbed version for because it outlines the “Seven rules of the DESURABBITS Army”, and is basically the theme song and list of principals for the group and fans.
Music and MV aside, I want to say that this was one of the things that REALLY sold me on the group, as the rules are all “do your best at your life outside lives, be kind to one another and the live venue” and the fanbase really reflects that. Like they’ve welcomed me more than Gachamen/pinkos which is kind of an accomplishment.
Like you don’t gotta make your edgy idol group 2edgy4me, you can still be about respecting the fans of other groups and the other fans and just having a good time.
ANyways
Yuzu: Yeah we have no idea what the fuck Bucho is ever saying
Emi’s vocals in the pv are really great for her age and I wish there were better quality live versions for it recently bc dang she’s improved so much
This is another goes absolutely insane at lives with the “WE! ARE! DESURABBITS! DESU!” chant it’s amazing
I do kinda love the bit where it looks like they’re going to go into a dance break and all they do is... spin.
Also they call Bucho a mascot character
“Usagi no Kimochi”
Honestly this song is just kind of hilarious once you realize that it’s basically just “don’t talk shit online and come watch our shows”
Complete with Bucho fucking murdering the Twitter bird
They’re starting to change their styles a bit with many tonal shifts and fewer Bucho parts. I’m not personally too into the verses, but I do like the choruses
I really dig the way they go in on the “pyons” at the beginning as well as the piano parts
DJ AKIRA GA KONNICHIWA
“Chuuni no Natsu. Ojisan no Natsu.”
This is a very good summery idol song just in general and mood which I love, with that lovely piano, string, and Emi-solo intro. Very refreshing and nostalgic with a good energy to it.
THEY LET BUCHO SING!!!! About how much he wants to go to the beach but can’t because he has work just let him go.
But for real, I really love his singing voice here. It matches well and has a bit of a punk rock sound to it which is my jam outside of idols. Also in the last chorus the way all four of them harmonize is surprisingly nice!
Also as a song that really sums up the relationship between Bucho and Emi, Yuzu, and Karin, it’s hilariously fitting.
KUSAI, KUSAI!
O-Ji-SA-N!
“Nande?”
First things first the video is amazing like could you guys not shoot on the same day who came up with the story what is going on who believes Bucho could fight ninjas
But honestly that’s kind of the point
ngl this is my favorite DesuRabbi song, because:
A) HOOKS FOR DAYS. From the “nande naze nande naze nande naze” to the “chikirichi, chikirichi, chikirichi” to the “nande, nee, nande”
B) honestly joining the fandom I was in the mindset where I needed something to express my “why what what the fuck what why what”
and this song supports that that is okay. If you can’t have a happy idol song that is just like “lmao we don’t know what’s going on and that’s fine” idk you’re a stronger person than me I guess??
Also the video
This also really marks the shift into Bucho taking a backseat to the girls, which ye Emi’s voice is clearly getting stronger
But tbh the highlight for me is Karin’s solo at the start of the bridge. Her voice is perfect for the whimsical tone they’re going for at that part of like “hey it doesn’t matter my dude!”
“Shitsuren Shitara Wasabi”
Okay, just gonna be up front, I’m not the biggest fan of their 2016-2018 “です。ラビッツ” era songs. They tried experimenting with songs a lot more with tone changes and different styles, and honestly I just found them lacking the same energy. However, I love this song a lot as it has that with that same “throw a bunch of things at the wall at once”
The tone is a lot more mature than their older material, but you still get the energy, especially in that chorus
The girls are the focus, and even though Emi still has ALL OF THE SOLOS, Yuzu gets some spots too, especially her spoken line which kind of makes this “her song” among her oshis and I’m really happy that she got that since she was the only one who didn’t have that before this
The lyrics are just so hopeful and good??? Idk maybe I’ll translate someday
WASABI WASABI WASABI KURE
“Sotsugyou Shojo-Mirai E-”
Or as I like to call it “When the heck did you guys get a budget???”
This is the first song with a different producer and uh... yeah you can tell. It’s radically different with a darker, rock image, but the lyrics are really hopeful and nice. I translated them over on my jp twitter if you’re interested??
THAT BASS THO
Yuzu’s voice suits this well with her very short solos. I feel like Karin’s solo singing part barely sounds like her, but I do like her little “rap”
And of course Bucho’s rap. What a nerd I love him.
Seriously where did they get a music video budget
I’m more into their old stuff just because that’s what I like, but I do really appreciate that they went for a harder sound but keeping the hooks and the hopeful outlook and the weird old man who stands behind them
This is most definitely the most intense dance they’ve done. Emi and Karin tried very hard.
Okay we get it so how do we follow them?
Unfortunately, on one hand, DesuRabi very much are focused on live performances as part of the underground idol tradition. They don’t have a very active release schedule, and while their Youtube channel sometimes posts live videos, it’s a bit sporadic. HOWEVER, they are a group that if you somehow manage to get to Japan, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out, if only for the fact that they have lives almost every weekend which are very cheap and very easy to get tickets to. Unless it’s a larger event or through a different event planner, usually you just reserve under a name and email and pay at the door. The DesuRabi Army is super nice and accepting and I will possibly be there.
But other than that: uh yeah, social media.
Official Youtube
Official Website
Twitter (group)
Twitter (Emi)
Twitter (Yuzu)
Twitter (Karin)
Twitter (Bucho)
They’re all fairly active on twitter (although Karin will sometimes just kind of... fade from existence). Emi, Yuzu, and Karin seem to have SOME rules on when they can reply, but Bucho just replies whenever he wants, which is often. Even sometimes when he isn’t tagged in the conversation or following you. They’re always very excited to see foreign fans, so tell them Loren sent you!
