Story time!
Earlier today, I was playing Multi Lives with a friend on the JP server. They're someone who previously hasn't played Garupa... at all for a year or something (I'm pretty sure they pre-date my Aug '18 start as well) so I know they're very unfamiliar with RAS, so I was intentionally choosing RAS songs (well, I only got 1/3 before the main bit) to gauge an opinion. Then I got Gekidou and they commented about/during the CHUTsumu bit (positive), so I made them listen to EXPOSE 'Burn out!!!'.
Half because it's my personal favourite RAS song, half because I personally think CHUTsumu's best vocal parts are here and whole for... another reason.
After that, I was able to shift the conversation to RAS and gave a short summary of RAS' origin as THE THIRD. I also mentioned their appearance (as characters) in 2nd Season. They haven't seen 2nd Season (or 1st but at least there's a somewhat substitute for that) so I'll try and get them to watch it. Perhaps in the future, I can get them to watch 3rd Season...
All of this is part of my goal to get them wanting to talk about Bandori, more about the characters/stories than the songs (but I won't say no to songs). Whether that's through Banpa, Twitter, Reddit and/or whatever other sites or things people use. If I can add RAISE A SUILEN to that goal, it's too late because I already have.
You know what would be funny? If they saw this. Hey, go make an account!
