#ZoeyVibes - video

[colorsinmyhead]

[The camera opens on Zoey, still in rehearsal gear, cheeks flushed from dancing but eyes bright with energy.]

Hey everyone, it’s Zoey! I just wrapped up a pretty intense rehearsal session, so I’m officially in cooldown mode before my legs file a complaint. But we're still working and getting ready for the next show.

[She shifts closer to the camera, smile growing.]

So I was thinking… I want to put together a playlist of duets. You know, the kind you sing with someone special. Could be romantic, could be sweet, could just be silly and chaotic. Anything that makes you want to grab someone by the hand and sing like you mean it.

[Zoey tilts her head, brushing a stray hair behind her ear.]

Send me your favorite duets, okay? I’d love to hear what songs make you think of your person.

[Offering a soft wink, and a small peace sign, she ends the video.]

Is it cheatin' when all of yer band's songs're duets. . .

[ literally the (non)problem of having a two vocalist band. ]

I'd have ta suggest the song we usually end with, Goodbye Innocence or Dance! Dance! Dance!

Oh, that's a great idea! You should do one! Are you planning it for a show? Who with?

[colorsinmyhead]

Not really, it's just that all of ours are three-part harmonies. And well, I need something for karaoke night.

[colorsinmyhead]

Well we are working on a show. But that's not the duet's for. I just need some ideas for karaoke night so I have good choices.

[roundandaround]

Hm... I do have something.

[Rinku sends over an audio file.]

This one time, I got signed up with Kyouko-chan to write and perform a love song. It was Noa-chan's idea! She's all about love! Love and following around cute girls she sees, but she's gotten better about that part. It was kinda hard to come up with since love for me is kinda everything all over the place, and Kyouko-chan, I dunno. I asked her what she thought of when she thinks of love, and then she got all blushy and "It's not like that!" What's not like what? But I think we did a good job anyway!

"My person", huh?
Well, it's been some time since I last was with someone, but when I think back on it, my mind wanders to old traditional Japanese Enka songs.

[No, he's not Japanese, he's just a weeb.]

One that's always stood out to me was Konyawa Hanasanai by Yukio Hashi and Ritsuko Abe.

[A curious hum.]

I have never been one for singing, myself... but there are many popular romantic duet compositions in my home nation of Liyue. I'm sure I could source some of them, if you're curious to hear them.

[He pauses, then;]

I do hope you are taking good care of your voice, Miss Zoey.

Duets, huh? Hmm. I don’t know any romantic ones or anything like that, but I did do one with a friend of mine back home. I think someone sent me a video of the performance - it should be on my phone I arrived here with.

… … Not really sure how to send it from there, though? I guess I could, uh, hold it up to the screen, if you don’t mind the quality? Or we could meet up or something? Ahaha just kidding I’m sure you’re really busy.

... Hooooooooooooooooooow many do you want because me and Jinu have an endless playlist since we just keep adding songs there??

[colorsinmyhead]

It's really catchy and sounds fun.

[colorsinmyhead]

Enka songs? What are those?

[colorsinmyhead]

I'm totally curious about them. I'm open to any and all recommendations.

[At the mention of taking care of her voice, Zoey nods.]

Of course, totally avoiding anything harsh, and drinking plenty.

[roundandaround]

You think so? Thanks! I gotta find some more. What kind of feeling are you looking for?

[colorsinmyhead]

Well, I did say with that special someone. But they don't all have to be romantic, any fun and energetic recommendations would be totally fine too.

I'm not that busy, but if you'd rather just hold up to the screen, that would be fine.

[colorsinmyhead]

As many as you'll share. Though I wouldn't want to steal any of your and Jinu's songs if they're special. But any that are totally up for grabs, you gotta share.

[colorsinmyhead]

Something to match how they make my heart race, and totally sweep me off my feet. Or when I'm lost in those mysterious, dreamy, perfectly symmetrical eyes, those perfect lips.

[roundandaround]

Huh, so a love thing... I know the customers at the karaoke bar like stuff like this a lot. Oh! And this! Muni-chan was playing it constantly when it came out!

[Links are sent as she says the words.]

[8chohakkai8]

It's a traditional type of Japanese pop ballad. They were really common about twenty years ago, and although they are not as in fashion now, you can still find them in many karaoke houses.

Most of the themes in the genre revolve around topics of love and hardship. They tend to possess a melancholy, nostalgic beauty. ♥

[physicianhealthyself]

In that case I can supply you with a list. I may need a little time, though.

[He could not come up with it all off the top of his head.]

If you find yourself in need of any herbal remedies, I invite you to call upon me.

[colorsinmyhead]

Going to have to try them out, Mystery could totally pull them off but it'd take a bit of work for Ish probably.

[colorsinmyhead]

Hmm, I'll have to check them out. I was kind of hoping for upbeat, but they could be fun too.

[colorsinmyhead]

That's fine! I'm totally open to hearing your list anytime.

[At the mention of herbal remedies though, Zoey's eyes sparkle and she has a large grin.]

I'll totally keep it in mind. Since Dr. Han isn't here it's good to know where to get the best tonics.

[roundandaround]

That's just because he's not a pro! I bet he'll be able to do it with practice!

[colorsinmyhead]

Totally, he'd probably get really into it too.

[roundandaround]

Of course! After all, it's something new and fun and exciting.
