death report, storyboards 2, 5, & 6
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if you’re curious what these storyboards were turned into, you can watch the full music video here! (link to youtube video)
image descriptions below cut:
image 1: a simple drawing, done mostly in pencil, of an old rotary phone with a checkerboard background. a note written next to the handset indicates that it should wobble in place, as if ringing cartoonishly. the frame is outlined in light blue ink, with black lines at the top and bottom creating a letterbox-like area filled in with pencil. a small area of the pencil is erased and the words “lyrics still” are written in it, also using pencil.
image 2: the handset of an old rotary phone lying on a table in front of a checkerboard background; the wire and base of the phone are slightly out-of-frame on the right side. a note indicates that the handset itself should wobble. the earpiece emits a curvy, wavy line that loops over itself repeatedly, drawn in black ink. it has similar letterboxing to the first image, but the word “probably” is written in the bottom letterbox.
image 3: the same handset on the same background, but closer to the viewer; the base of the phone is just out of view. rather than the curvy line from the previous image, it instead emits a pointy-looking shape comprised of straight lines and hard angles, and drawn in black ink. it also has letterboxing, and in the letterboxing is written the word “lyrics”

fade to sky, storyboards 1 & 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
watch the finished music video here: (youtube link)
image descriptions below the cut!
image 1: a very light pencil sketch, with a rough outline in black ink. it depicts two faceless silhouettes, labeled as “jun’s parents”, standing behind another, smaller figure with their hands on the figure’s shoulders. the smaller figure is smiling, and a label above their head indicates that this is “jun”. messy text written in pencil beneath the frame says, “before jun’s parents died”. a timestamp of “0:00 - 0:05″ is written in pencil above the frame.
image 2: a light pencil sketch, with a similar ink outline. it depicts a similar small figure as the first image, still labeled “jun”, but this time they are frowning. the figures behind them are replaced with sheet-ghost-like figures, labelled as “parent ghosts”. beneath the frame, “(after the accident where jun got their aberration)” is written in pencil. above it, “0:05-0:14″ is written, also in pencil.

link to the same stuff, but on google docs
for the information as a tumblr post, with pictures of each character for clarity, click “keep reading”! warning: image heavy, long post!
ZUSAMMEN - A band composed of (mostly) androids, originally from Germany, who are currently in New York City on tour. In DEATH REPORT, it’s made clear that not all is as it seems with the androids...
Tumblr media
Katz Chen - They/them - Android
The current lead singer and keytarist of the android band ZUSAMMEN.
Voiced by VOCALOID RUBY
Tumblr media
Uwe - She/her - Android
Guitarist and backup vocalist for ZUSAMMEN.
Voiced by VOCALOID DAINA
Tumblr media
Renata - They/them - Android
Bassist for ZUSAMMEN.
Voiced by…?
Tumblr media
Cavell Henschen - He/him - Human
Drummer for ZUSAMMEN.
Voiced by…?
Tumblr media
Mateo Sanchez - He/him - Human 
A robotics engineer and ZUSAMMEN’s producer.
Not much is known about him yet, but he features prominently in DEATH REPORT.
Voiced by…?
Tumblr media
DARKBOLT - He/him - Human
Again, not much is known about him yet, but he is the current songwriter for ZUSAMMEN.
Voiced by…?
The Lonesome Division - The Japanese division of a certain unknown organization, so named because they have so few members and are disconnected from the rest of the organization. They’re in NYC to investigate strange happenings surrounding the ZUSAMMEN concerts.
Tumblr media
Takashi Saitou - They/them - Human
The “leader” of the Lonesome Division, by virtue of being the oldest.
Their aberration means that when they’re nearby, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, unless they specifically think about it. A lot of their headspace is taken up by considering all the possible ways that any given situation could go badly.
Voiced by vflower
Tumblr media
Kagami Hana - She/her or they/them - Human
The resident technology expert of the Lonesome Division, who built a ghost detection machine by herself.
Her understanding of technology means that although she doesn’t have an aberration (ability), she’s still able to keep up with her teammates.
Voiced by VOCALOID Yukari Yuzuki
Tumblr media
Ayu Kunikida - He/him - Human
The “dad friend” of the Lonesome Division, though he’s not the oldest.
His aberration is that he’s able to turn invisible and visible at will, though sometimes he tends to forget which state he’s in, and he sometimes turns invisible without meaning to. 
Voiced by YOHIOloid
Tumblr media
Ton Siegel - He/him - Android
Former lead singer of ZUSAMMEN.
Also worked at a diner called Thermopolis, which is how he met the Division.
As of WELCOME TO THE (LONESOME) DIVISION, he’s now a member of the Lonesome Division (and quit his job, without needing much encouragement.)
Despite the fact that he’s an android, he seems to be able to experience emotions.
Voiced by VOCALOID DEX
Tumblr media
SHIRONEKO - She/her - Human
The “old commander” mentioned by Takashi in WELCOME TO THE DIVISION.
Not much is clear about her yet.
Voiced by…?
The Hellhounds - A biker gang based in New York City, who seem to be fearsome… Or maybe Ton is just afraid of them. Their leader is Dice, who mostly uses her (admittedly haunted) bike for pizza delivery, so…
Tumblr media
Dice - She/her - Human
The current leader of a biker gang called the Hellhounds.
Her bike is, as said by Iskra in OUR LUCKY DAY, haunted.
This aside, she moonlights as a pizza delivery driver, and Domino is her younger brother.
She also appears prominently alongside her partner Jun in Fade to Sky.
Voiced by…?
??? - Characters with unknown or unclear allegiances.
Tumblr media
Elke Greene - He/him - Human
A government spy, who used to write ZUSAMMEN’s songs.
Having been sent to New York to investigate ZUSAMMEN’s re-emergence, he ran into his partner, Mateo, who by all accounts should not be alive.
Voiced by VOCALOID DEX
Tumblr media
Iskra - She/her - Human
Encounters with this girl always seem to result in somebody screaming.
All she wants to do is hang out with her best friend, hunt cryptids, and protect the city.
Voiced by VOCALOID Rin Kagamine
Tumblr media
Domino - He/him - Human
Dice’s little brother, Iskra’s best friend.
Despite being called “lucky”, he often feels like everything goes in exactly the way he doesn’t want it to go. 
Voiced by VOCALOID Len Kagamine
Tumblr media
Jun Zhang - They/them - Human
A spirit medium who received their aberration following the accidental “death” of both of their parents, and is now able to perceive and interact with both natural and human spirits. 
Voiced by…?
Tumblr media
Lucas - He/him - Human (Ghost)
A ghost aberration bearer who appears alongside Jun in Fade to Sky. Perhaps over time his story will become better understood…?
Voiced by…?

SONG 3 // WELCOME TO THE LONESOME DIVSION LYRICS
music video (youtube) // on-vocal (soundcloud) // off-vocal (soundcloud)
lyrics under the readmore
(Vocals are by Kagami Hana (voiced by Yuzuki Yukari), Takashi Saitou (voiced by v4flower), Ayu Kunikida (voiced by YOHIOloid), and Ton Siegel (voiced by DEX).)
(Kagami:) I never thought we would make it over here alive
(Takashi:) But here we are in new york, I guess
(Ayu:) Hey, did you make sure that the signals you picked up were right?
(Kagami:) We'll wait and see in the dark, okay?
(Kagami:) So I said;
(Takashi:) Let's go to the diner, stop here for a little break
(Ayu:) Put on your hoodies and lay low
(Kagami:) The waiter, his voice, doesn't it sound a little fake?
(Kagami:) I think I'm gonna investigate!
(Kagami:) "Hey there, stranger! It's a pleasure to meet ya!"
(Ton:) Can I get you something like a burger to treat ya?
(Ayu:) Pardon my friend, she isn't usually like this
(Takashi:) Everybody shut up, isn't this making progress?
(Kagami:) Hey now, why don't you quit your job?
(Ton:) Oh boy, I've wanted to for way too long!
(Takashi:) We could use somebody new to lend a hand
(Kagami:) Now a German singing robot is our new best friend!
(Ayu:) And we patrol the city, lurking in the night
(Ayu:) If we're gonna do it, we just gotta do it right
(Takashi:) Do you remember what our old commander said?
(Takashi:) That if you mess with her old rivals, you could end up dead
(Ton:) I'm sorry, I don't have a clue if I follow you
(Kagami:) Just take my hand, now we'll go in two-by-two!
(All:) WEL! COME! TO! THE! DI-VI-SION!
(Takashi, Kagami, & Ayu:) WEL! COME! TO! THE!
(Ton:) The what?
(Ton:) Hang on, what now?
(Kagami:) Can I take a look at your code?
(Ton:) That's kind of mean, we just me-
(Takashi:) Oh, lighten up.
(Ayu:) You’re still working on that?
(Takashi:) Yes, because god has cursed me for my hubris and my work is never finished.
(Takashi:) So you're a robot
(Ton:) Yes
(Takashi:) And you can feel things without being programmed to
(Ton:) That's right
(Takashi:) Have you ever been in any supernatural encounters
(Ton:) Huh
(Takashi:) Answer the FUCKING question
(Ton:) Huh! Shit! Yes! Whatever!
(Takashi:) Okay!
(Takashi:) So you see, the lonesome division is a group of ours!
(Takashi:) We're people with special powers
(Kagami:) I don't have powers
(Takashi:) Kagami doesn't have powers
(Ayu:) It's true
(Ayu:) Let me demonstrate. Now you see me? Now you don't.
(Takashi:) Me, I fuck up everything by being in the room
(Kagami:) Be quiet! You know that's not true!
(Takashi:) He's right, but let's get to the point
(Ton:) Oh shit, look over there!
(Kagami:) What's up?
(Ton:) So I suppose you don't know of the bikers
(Ton:) They're the kinda people that you'd see in your nightmares
(Ton:) See the black dog patch all over their jackets?
(Ton:) If you get too close, you might wanna watch it
(Kagami:) Hey, haven't we seen that before?
(Ayu:) But isn't this our first day in New York?
(Takashi:) But our old boss used to be in a gang like this
(Ayu:) Then we'd better check it out if there's something we've missed!
(Takashi:) If it's impending danger, let's go rushing in!
(Ayu:) On the count of three, let the challenge begin
(Kagami:) The sun sinks down into the city skyline
(Kagami:) There isn't that much time left tonight
(Ayu:) Do you remember what we thought a year ago?
(Takashi:) That we would never find ourselves a way to go?
(Kagami:) It's kinda wild, now we're really doing it
(Kagami:) But the world is pretty weird and we've gotta do something about it
(Ton:) I remember the first day I woke up
(Ton:) I thought that I was alone, but now I know I'm not
(Ayu:) I remember the day I disappeared
(Ayu:) And though I'm out of sight, my friends know I'm here
(Takashi:) One time, I was attacked by a dead man
(Takashi:) But look at me, I'm alive, and now I got a plan
(Kagami:) I, uh, I used to do bad in school
(Kagami:) I can't really think of anything that makes me cool
(Ton:) Hey now, I think you're pretty smart
(Ayu:) Without you, we never could've gone this far!
(Kagami:) Now we've got the four of us to lend a hand
(Ton:) It's been way too long since I've had some friends
(Ayu:) Why not forget the plan and just hang out tonight?
(Takashi:) But if we're gonna do it, we just gotta do it right!
(Kagami:) I wonder if our old commander sees us here
(Ton:) I bet she'd want you not to surrender to your fears
(Takashi:) Oh boy, my heart is racing and I'm going nuts!
(Ayu:) Make sure to think straight, or else tonight is gonna be a bust
(Kagami:) WEL! COME! TO! THE! DI-VI-SION!
(Ayu:) WEL! COME! TO! THE! DI-VI-SION!
(Takashi:) WEL! COME! TO! THE! DI-VI-SION!
(All:) FROM NOW ON YOU'RE ((Ton:) I'M) NOT ALONE!

SONG 2 // DEATH REPORT LYRICS
music video (youtube) // on-vocal (soundcloud) // off-vocal (soundcloud) lyrics under the readmore
(This song is sung by Elke Greene, voiced by DEX.)
I got a call from the government on the telephone They want me back there to tell them all what I've found Before I can hang up, I hear the sickening sound Of someone's head being slammed down into the ground
The crisis started a very long few years ago When the machines started to take on minds of their own There's nothing wrong, though, I thoroughly checked the code So all this madness has to be the work of a ghost
The lyrics they sing, they used to be written by me Now it's the guy that I called on the net TV (I'm assuming, he used to help us out before) After the shutdown, everybody came back for more
I lost everything but my own damn life Oh, what a heartbreaking story of madness! Maybe I could feel finally free, if only a knife Would pierce right through my loneliness
Me and my love staring over the edge Will we end up in hell? No, he's out of his head I laughed, "it was the end, but the rhythm goes on" And then the countdown starts, ticking closer to one
Now I'm all alone, staring over the edge Of data, memories pouring out of my head I said "I can't go back just yet, I'm not ready to go" I'll catch them when they put on the show
It's kinda stupid, pathetic, and tragic, that I've Been met with fate that reduced me only to a spy The next concert is scheduled for Friday night I wonder if I can let myself interfere this time
No time, are we ready to go The monster gains its power as the star of the show We're going backstage, baby, what do you know I saw his face much sadder than a long time ago
I got a call from the government on the telephone They want me back there to tell them all what I've found And so I hung up, then I hear a familiar voice The ghost itself, hiding under superficial joys
I lost everything but my whole damn life Oh, what a nerve wracking tale of madness! Maybe I could feel finally free, if only tonight I could ignore it, dance, and feel alive
The singing lead, looking over the edge They're playing to the crowd, people turning their heads To listen to the hypnotizing upbeat melody And at the center of the crowd is me
Now I'm all alone, staring over the edge Of data, memories pouring out of my head I said "why did I come back? I wasn't ready to go" Is this the end of the star of the show?
I lost everything but my own damn life My tragic memories play a cadence Now it's time to go back, even though I don't wanna go But they all want everything that I know
Me and my love staring over the edge Will we end up in hell? No, he's out of his head I laughed, "it was the end, but the rhythm goes on" And then the countdown starts, ticking closer to one
I've rambled more than I really found out "I'm sorry, but I need to get back in my head" I laughed, and then I ran out of things that I wanted to say And that concludes my report of the day

SONG 1 // BURNING BRIGHT LYRICS
music video (youtube) // on-vocal (soundcloud) // off-vocal (soundcloud) lyrics under the readmore
(Main vocals are sung by Katz Chen, voiced by RUBY. Backing is sung by Uwe, voiced by DAINA and noted in parentheses.)
The beating, beating of a heart I surrendered it to my fears I'm running faster Just to get a bit ahead
Our hearts are pounding together as one Like the beating of a drum So, just for now let’s have some fun And remember where we all came from
The stars are shining down on us tonight (shining down on us tonight) I know by now that we can dance and feel alive (we can dance and feel alive)
And at the end of it all, what we do today (what we do today) It doesn’t matter tomorrow But let’s go all out (all out) and go out with a BANG!
