I feel like someone needs to make a video on the phenomenon that is Midokoto because I don't think I have ever seen what is essentially an OC be so regarded and treated as if he's actually in the story
I went to find as many eye closeups from the Milgram MVs as I could find, then was surprised to find that every single T1 MV contains at least one (except Undercover but I count that more as a prequel song than a T1 song). So I was hoping the same would be true of T2 - but, sadly, it wasn't (Backdraft, It's Not My Fault, I Love You and The Purge March are all missing). But there were still many more than I was anticipating so instead of just compiling them all in one post (my original plan), I'm going to group them by intent/theme (with varying levels of logic and success).
Waking up (no surprise that Mikoto's here twice)
Horrified after a session of self-reflection
Frustrated (Haruka's is a still instead of a gif because there was a lot of flashing)
Determination
Inhuman (shoutout to that single frame of a wolf's eye from Harrow)
Glancing to the side (very different vibes here but it's the same basic motion so I'm counting it)
Slow realization.
Blank stare (very different kinds of blank stare but still)
Distraught
Love? (Honestly still not sure what that line was about in After Pain but these shots seemed like they fit together)
Bloodied (interesting as well that the blood is not entirely realistic in either - while the blood in Double is closer it's still more orange-tone than red)
Reflecting the prisoner while crying (also these are the only people we've clearly seen in the MVs that was neither victim nor prisoner)
I was curious about how the lines were distributed between Mikoto & John Orekoto in their Reversible Campaign cover so yeah
(Translation used | YouTube ver. (Has better timing))
Disclaimer: This is all purely guesswork on my part. I was running on the assumption that Mikoto's voice is soft & high-pitched, while Orekoto has a louder, rougher & sharper voice.
That said, they only have 1 voice actor so it was kinda hard since it's possible that some of Orekoto's parts sound like they were sang by Mikoto & vice versa :') So yeah, I admit I could be wrong about this.
+ A few words in Orekoto's parts are highlighted in blue because I wanted to emphasize my thoughts of "Hm, maybe he was referring to Mikoto here?" & not necessarily that I think Mikoto sang those parts.
Also, I have to be honest here, I have no idea who actually sang the 嬉しいや in the end. I just assumed it was Orekoto since Mikoto's not at all happy with these developments. ("But the covers aren't canon" Okay, I get that, but still!)
