alright alright here we go! the monthly argnv news roundup!

most importantly (I'm not biased this really is the biggest news), GYROAXIA's S-SOL, PREFACE, will be held on 11/29! just a little over a month away. personally I would have hoped for the week before that but I WILL LIVE.

they also released a short teaser video with quotes from all of the members on twt! no attributions to the members, but it's pretty easy to figure out who said what.

"If you win at LR Fes, you'll receive the back-up to advance to the world, they said, huh." (Reon)

"Many more people will hear us than they ever have up till now. All of you earthlings ... Wait for us." (Ryou)

"I'll strike [the drums for] Gyro's music!" (Miyuki, this was impossible to word so I just gave up sorry)

"The most important thing we should think about is winning LR Fes, is it not?" (Kenta)

"Even without back-up, I'll definitely stand on top of the world." (Nayuta)

I love them all very much. that's not news, everybody knows that, but I find it important to mention anyway every so often. November 29th please come quick

also very important: so they just kinda uuuuuh confirmed two new songs in the gameplay section of Navistream by showing the (VERY COOL-LOOKING I LOVE IT THANK YOU AAA) song selection screen ... I wonder if they'll be shown at the SOLs ...

Argonavis gets a new song called Root of Love, while GYROAXIA gets one called FAR AWAY, which is incidentally the lowest-ranked difficulty wise among all the normals we see here. I'm feeling a rock ballad. something slower for sure ...

related to this, the FuuRai cast played MANIFESTO with the FuuRai characters and it's just as stupid as you would expect. I love it.

more importantly, they showcased the beatmap for Ranganran as well as our first ever view of skill / possibly combo cut-ins, just like in GaruPa! I was honestly not convinced they'd add them considering the MV function, but I'm glad they did. can't wait for Nayuta to yell at Reon in the middle of the live.

S-SOL reruns! take the times from the picture I'm too lazy to write them down again. interestingly, epsiphi & Fantôme Iris follow each other, while FuuRai gets a whole day to themselves. (though considering how much they annihilated what I THOUGHT was a setlist pattern, that's not too outlandish to think about.)

the covers for the different versions of the omnibus album were revealed! here's a better look at them on the website, I'll spare you the three big separate images on here. there's also gonna be goods, which are also in that link.

we already knew that the first tankobon of Puchigonavis would be coupled with a song, and now we know that song is called Hey! Argonavis and is described as a pop (poppy??) & colourful song in which all five members get to sing. I'm expecting something like GaruPa Pico. either way argnv's energetic stuff is really good so!!!!

on top of Joutou Joukyou (which is out now!!! and also may or may not have made me cry!!!!! this story was so sweet oh my gOD!!!!!!!!!), FuuRai got a new original called Yumemiru Boy Mamoru Tame which slaps, and they also covered Golden Time Lover, which I'm told is an opening from FMA Brotherhood. I wouldn't know. I've never watched that.

look ... FuuRai part-time job chibis ... lOOK ...... who's that in the sheep? Sakutarou

is that all ... god I think that's all ... this felt like it was less than usual but it really wasn't oh god

no word on new releases for Gyro & argnv though. they might still announce something later, and I am CERTAIN we're getting new argnv releases soon, but this time is already so packed with music I'm kinda glad my wallet can breathe for a bit ...

oh and I lied, the most important news is that AOI IS SO CUTE ... HE'S SO CUTE ... I WAS TEARING UP AT HIS SPEECH ...

okay that's it thank you!!!
