To heck with it. As long as we're doing this, anyone wanna try our luck against some hamsters?

Guess I've found my personal project for this loop.

Playing it on a shamisen is gonna be interesting, but I say being stuck in an unending cycle of existential terror is the ideal time to try new things!

[mech_and_mutt]

would you consider making an album of some other shamisen covers of so-called 'pop' songs? the filtering of top hits through off-world tradition would be a perfect subversion of Vaikuntha's horribly stale music scene. i'd buy it.

but only if it was in vinyl, of course. or cylinder phonograph, if you want to make a stronger statement.

My my, I'm flattered that you'd ask! I can't say I've ever thought about making albums with my limited ability, but I can certainly try my hand at more covers.

Actually, this just gave me an idea. It's not a pop song per se, but since we were talking about hamsters... Let me get back to you soon.

[A while later, quiet voices can be heard ("Ready, Yotaro?" "Ready, Kupo!"), followed by the sound of a shamisen.]

Let's get down to business, to defeat the Hams
Did they send me Scholars, when I asked for gams?
You're the raddest bunch I ever met
And you can bet before we're through
Sister, I'll take a Ham out for you

Creatures oh so horrid, but you can't give in
Once you grind for hamsters, you've got skills to win
I'm a spineless, pale, a spoony Bard
And I may end up scarred, it's true
Somehow I'll take a Ham out for you


"There's one with poison breath"


"Say bye to those ships who flew me"


"Boy, did you get those big guns at the gym?"


"This guy's just come back from death!"


"Hope he doesn't see right through me"


"Who the devil taught this hamster how to swim?!"

(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
We must be cool as the Frost Queen Shiva
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the wisdom of Sage Ramuh
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the strength of a great Hellfire
As turbulent as the High Winds of Dragoon

Time is racing toward us till the Hams arrive
Let my song ring louder, and we might survive
They have so much gore to answer for
So stand up, we'll make it through
How could I take a Ham out for you?

(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
We must be cool as the Frost Queen Shiva
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the wisdom of Sage Ramuh
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the strength of a great Hellfire
As turbulent as the High Winds of Dragoon

(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
We must be cool as the Frost Queen Shiva
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the wisdom of Sage Ramuh
(Beat a Ham, kupo!)
With all the strength of a great Hellfire
As turbulent as the High Winds of Dragoon

[This is how he copes with stress.]

[There's nothing to say about a brilliant masterpiece but the cheery laughter and raucous applause should indicate Selphie's approval.

Besides, she needs the laugh.]

[mech_and_mutt]

It's official! That's what we'll be playing for the anti-hamster anthem.
