This is a complete summary of “When 6 Colors Combine, “ ” Begins” (blanks on purpose), the main drama track from the Fling Posse Champion album. Please purchase and listen to the track for the best experience, especially that one scene with Gentaro (you’ll know it). Enjoy! The track takes place in Chuo-ku, at the hotel where the MCs are staying for the 2nd DRB. The track opens with Ichiro entering Jiro and Saburo’s room and saying good morning.

Here’s a full, line-by-line translation of the second half of “Hypnosis Microphone Quest 2nd”, the continuation of the event story that opened on May 14 (first half linked here). Apologies for the delay - please enjoy!

Chapter 5: The Phantasma Kingdom

Samatoki: Whoa ... this is crazy ...

Samatoki: Let’s see where I am ...

Samatoki: “The Phantasma Kingdom,” huh ...

Samatoki: (Well, I got into the game, but … what the hell am I supposed to do …)

Here’s a plot summary of Hypnosis Mic: Rule the Stage Track 4, which covers what happens right before the Division Rap Battle Championship Tournament in the stage plays. This will only be a summary of the story with some commentary on the songs. Usual warning for length applies! To get the most out of this play, it’s best to know the general HypMic canon up to the first Division Rap Battle, the TDD comics story, and what happened in HypStage 1 and 2 (links here):

Here’s a plot summary of Hypnosis Mic: Rule the Stage Track 3, the Dotsuitare Honpo and Bad Ass Temple installment. This is a summary of the story with commentary on the songs. Usual length warning applies! Also I can’t find the actual group song titles, so they’re my best guess. Quick note before starting: the play uses the manzai terms “aikata”, “boke”, and “tsukkomi” frequently. I’m using English terminology for these to make this an easier read. If you haven’t yet, please research manzai comedy - it’s an art form!

A month late, but here’s a plot summary of Hypnosis Mic: Rule the Stage Track 2, the Fling Posse vs. Matenro installment. This will only be a summary of the story with some commentary on the songs. Warning: as always, this is long! The play begins with the main song, “Don’t Pass the Mic,” and Fling Posse and Matenro’s group song performances (“Trap of Fling” and “Blast Wolf”), and the story begins at Jakurai’s hospital. Doppo and Hifumi are at his hospital because Doppo wants to ask Jakurai for help.

Here’s a plot summary of Hypnosis Mic: Rule the Stage track 1 (AKA HypStage), the Buster Bros be MTC installment. This will only be the story! For personal thoughts / some other details check my main account. Warning: this is long! The story takes place during the Division Rap Battle semi-finals. We get a recap of the main concept of HypMic and introductions for BB / MTC, and the play opens with the Buster Bros winning against their unnamed opponent.
