Author's Rant
Version notes: Latest rewrite adds new scenes during the initial
practice phase, and more on the decision to allow Kodachi and Ukyo to
sing with the group. A major reworking of who got what instrument, after
finding a picture with the Ranma gang with instruments (you'd know the
picture when you see it, it's a manga scan from the memorial book),
although this had no impact on the story whatsoever. Mainly a cosmetic
change, really. Added more scenes with the 'bad guys' working in the
background. General expansion of certain non-key, character-building
scenes.
Major change: the song Ukyo sings in the singing contest was changed
accordingly to 'Don't Cry Anymore.' Don't ask, it was on a whim. I
happen to like this song more than 'Full of Memories.'
I don't think I'll ever figure out what those string instruments are
:(
Implementation of Taro's original plan: humiliating Ranma in any means
possible. If you think about it, it's even worse than killing Ranma.
Taking pictures was just part of the idea, considering the
hermaphrodite's lifestyle....
I think summer vacation is a month and a half? A month, at least. Oh
well.
Story notes: I couldn't help but write something about... this. Man,
you HAVE to go and buy the Doco CDs. :) To the various guys and gals who
translated the lyrics, a big and hearty thank-you, otherwise I'd have no
idea what I'd been listening to ;) The Karuta CD is pretty good for a
few laughs too, go get that! (I'm feelin' like an advertisement right
now....)
Quite a bit of this was written listening to the Ranma songs,
particularly 'Don't Cry Anymore' on piano (from the Game Music CD). This
song in particular was what made me put Ukyo on a keyboard, as I've come
to associate the vocal song with Ukyo (if you've read the lyrics, that's
one reason why).
Heh, Ranma and Akane are already married, yet I don't know how to
handle the name thing.... Kuno in any case would continue to call Akane
'Tendo' no matter what, however, so that's the only case when I'll deal
with it. I believe Akane would take Ranma's name, however, but I
hesitate to call her 'Akane Saotome.' It just doesn't sound right,
despite using traditional marriage conventions.
If you bother me about the use of 'chi' instead of 'ki,' go away,
because they're the same thing, and 'chi' just looks better to me. ('ki'
somehow seems wrong, it might have something to do with one of the
characters from Gameboy's Final Fantasy Legend 2 :P)
Well, this story turned out WAY longer than I expected; I just
couldn't resist telling the tales of the band members throughout the
story. Of course some tales might be better off untold, but what the
hey.... I wanted to write about the three rejected fiancees, for one
thing, as well as the lingering darkness in Ukyo (must've been at least
three rewrites of those instances, just to get it right).
Just to let you know, I AM an Ukyo fan, and to show that I'm not
completely biased I am exploring her 'dark' side (people like me want to
believe she's so perfect, but after a talk with a friend (you know who
you are) pointed out that, just like all the other characters, she has a
major character flaw; while she's not obsessive or overly violent, she
is a very vengeful person, someone you really don't want to piss off).
As for what she'll do, we'll just have to see. The seeds have been
planted in more than one place... see if you can find them all.
As a side note, Ukyo STILL has yet to MEET Pantyhose Taro. :)
To those of you concerned about Nabiki's portrayal in the story: no,
she doesn't have the money or the power to do whatever she wants, but
she certainly is persuasive enough to get her way (such as getting money
from Kuno; use your imagination. Actually, after a certain point, if you
didn't pick it up, Kuno was more than willing to spend his money). After
all, it is an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.... Final lesson: don't
make Nabiki Tendo angry. She's Soun Tendo's daughter, remember? >:)
I, personally, don't believe in the Kuno-Nabiki relationship. However,
if you think as I do, and notice a general similarity in the 'get
something you want yourself' attitude in Kodachi and Nabiki, and how
Kuno treats either of them, there IS something, but not much. Depends
whether or not you think Kuno likes his sister; I think their
relationship is rather typical of brother-sister: neither would like to
admit liking each other consciously to one another, but would be willing
to defend each other/stick together.
FYI, Tokuyama is as close to self-insertion as I get in serious
stories. He's basically there to prod the group along, after all. His
opinion of the music reflect my own :)
Continuity notes: I've decided to place the time in 1995, so all the
characters should be about one year older now (Kuno and Nabiki 18,
Kasumi 20, the others are pretty much 17). I base this off 1994-5 as the
series as a whole, then extend time to accommodate for the wedding
fiasco at the end of Ranma and Akane's first year in high school. And I
thought it would've been silly if Ranma were 16 in 1989 (when the series
started) and put them in the early 1990's; I don't feel like going back
that far. Same goes for basis in 1998; no smelting way. 'Unfreezing'
time bites.
Therefore, Nabiki and Kuno are in their final year in high school,
thus the tidbits of 'Exam Hell,' the examinations that determine the
rest of a student's life. Yes, they do exist, and that's what cram (I
believe they're called juku?) school is for. Remember, high school is
only three years, begins in April, ends in March, with a summer break in
July. Btw, it IS year-round.
I hope you noted the cameo appearance of Athena Asamiya (Psycho
Soldier, King of Fighters). Chronologically this appearance would be
after the defeat of Omega Rugal in KOF'95, for continuity buffs.
Stuff that didn't make the cut: I had an idea where, during the first
Psycho Soldier performance, Kyo and Iori would meet each other in the
audience, and start a brawl. Thought about it. Threw it out as
unpractical and useless to the story. Besides, I don't have lyrics to
the song.
As a bonus: the lyrics to the songs appearing in this story, gathered.
I loved Equal Romance so much I wanted to include it here (it's sung by
Coco, btw, the name in which Doco was derived from; how appropriate. Not
to mention they did sing that song in the X-mas OAV, too. The vocal
track is also available on the Karuta CD).
A copy of the translated lyrics to 'Psycho Soldier' would be much
appreciated. If available, please send it to me!

(All) In a covered passage in the sun, I confided in a friend:
a wonderful person, but "it's a secret..."
Lamenting the hair I cut too short, there were nights I couldn't sleep.
I wonder if I can ever laugh about it.
(Nabiki) sazanami ga sarau you ni hakanaku kieta koi

(Nabiki) As if washed away by rippling waves, love was fleetingly worn

[Ranma 1/2] DoCo Second image song (1994)
FUKUZATSUna Ryouomoi (Live Version) [Complex Two Thoughts]
(Shampoo, +All) Carrying one side of romance is a burden, isn't it?
(Shampoo, +All) Isn't there even a special connection to God?
(Shampoo) On purpose, you had unkind behavior, but
In my chest's heart, gentleness was being reached.
(Akane, +All) Also repelling your pushy way of doing things,
(Akane, +All) I must reflect that it is not good even if it's not you.
(Akane) Also after that quarrel that I was not disgusted with,
Wasn't it a gloomy street at night, I regret relying upon you?
(Kasumi) Entwined by a red thread,
We are connected here and there, aren't we?
(Nabiki) Drawing strongly together with each other
(Kasumi & Nabiki) Like a puppet that is being held.
(All) Complex two thoughts not docile, both of us
(Ranma) The letters "sorry" are vanishing from the dictionary.
(All) Complex two thoughts one plus one equals one half
Worrying about wanting to cry in the dark.
(Ranma, +All) For example, take me even if I'm a boy.
(Ranma, +All) For example, take you even if you're a girl.
(Ranma) In this way, it's not personalities that are similar.
And still, we can't associate with each other, right?
(Nabiki) I'll try to find a good bed.
I'll find one for you for about 100.
(Kasumi) Your show of courage is love inside-out
(Nabiki & Kasumi) The truth was let out long ago.
(All) Simple love is good. Digital formula two thoughts
(Shampoo) I want to make love and hate clear to you.
(All) Simple love is good. I want to meet your kiss to a degree.
I want to become that sort of adult.
(Akane) Complex two thoughts not docile, both of us
(Ranma) The letters "sorry" are vanishing from the dictionary.
(All) Simple love is good. I want to meet your kiss to a degree
I can say "sorry." I want to possess gentleness.
Complex two thoughts one plus one equals one half
Worrying about wanting to cry in the dark.
