In the anime industry, I stand at the forefront of popularity

After learning that Lux didn't want to be disturbed while listening to music, Aslan installed a special volume adjustment system. As long as Lux made a gesture, the volume would automatically drop.

"Um...is this a bit troublesome?"

Aslan noticed the situation on Lacus's side.

Because Lacus once said that she liked Hello very much, Aslan didn't think much about it and gave it to her as soon as he made it.

Now that I think about it, that was pretty stupid.

But Lux just laughed it off: "They are so excited because the guest is Aslan. It has been a long time since you came to our house."

"……sorry."

Aslan lowered his head.

Because Aslan subconsciously felt that Lacus was blaming him for neglecting to visit her.

However, Lacus's shocked attitude made Aslan come to his senses.

Lux didn't blame herself.

Thinking of this, Aslan felt even more guilty.

But...it still feels a little weird.

Lux like this is like a princess in a fairy tale.

Living in the castle, I don't know what's happening outside.

"Lux."

Aslan spoke.

"Ah."

"Do you know where this concert is held? What kind of life do the people there live?"

Aslan asked this question.

"Ok?"

Lux was stunned for a moment.

"Lacus, have you ever investigated the lives of those outside of PLANT?"

Hearing Aslan's words, Lacus also frowned.

That was a very serious expression.

"Sorry, I may be a little... neurotic." Aslan felt that he had lost his composure.

"No, Aslan. That's a good question. Aslan, you're asking this question because ZAFT's actions in North Africa are actually... an invasion, right?"

Aslan said nothing.

At this time, the song has ended.

“Thank you all so much for coming today.”

Yui looked towards the camera.

But those eyes seemed to pass through the lens and look at Aslan and Lacus here.

"Next, here's the last one."

"I give this ancient ballad to every person in this land."

"Listen to this one—Scarborough Fair."

"Huh?" However, Lux showed a surprised expression.

"what happened?"

“It seems like there’s one less song than the album that was just released?”

Chapter 384: The map of Yan State is waiting here!

Lux opened the tablet.

She has already bought Yui's digital album.

The physical version has been pre-ordered and is awaiting shipment.

Aslan also came over, or rather, Lacus showed it directly.

Yes, there is one missing North African folk song, Nnnufly. But this song is not sung by Yui.

This song was not originally a concert song, but a bonus song at the back of the album.

Strictly speaking, it's not really a concert song.

But it is marked here that part of this album will be distributed to the singer.

"Because it's not Ms. Yui's own song, right?"

At this time, the melody of the last song began to play.

"Are you going to Scarborough Fair?"

"Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme"

“Give my regards to someone there.”

"She was my lover"

"Please ask her to make me a linen shirt"

“That’s not right either!”

However, Lux found something wrong again.

"What's wrong with that?" Aslan was a little surprised.

“The chorus is gone!”

Lux opened the digital album in her hand.

Beneath this Scarborough Fair, there is a refrain called "thesideofahill".

“At the foot of an unknown mountain”

"A little boy sleeping in the dirt"

"A war is raging in the valley"

"No one cares about a child's life..."

The picture shows the audience quietly listening to a love song.

But on the other side, Lacus and Aslan were listening to an anti-war song.

[This contrast is terrible]

[It's just torture]

[However, Scarborough Fair itself is an anti-war song, just in a more subtle way.]

[+1 Parsley, Sage, Thyme, and Rosemary, which are said to be able to ward off death]

[It's just a translation error. It's not a shirt, it's a shroud. Spice is a European funeral custom. When a man is about to die, he asks his partner to collect his body. The original singer is a man. It actually refers to the plague.]

[Our ancient tradition doesn't allow stitching with needles, or else it will rust and become incorruptible. Many of the lyrics are actually about funeral traditions.]

[If you read the original lyrics, you won't get that interpretation... The lyrics are just a bunch of banter between a man and a woman, no love involved.]

[In the past, many folk songs were about death]

[In ancient Europe, it seemed that anyone caught engaging in espionage would be killed without any trial]

[I see, I never understood why the shirt shouldn’t be sewn. I thought the girl was teasing her lover on purpose.]

[You're so fancy, I thought you had some brilliant ideas. Scarborough Fair and many folk songs are actually just variations of the Elven Knight ballad. You're discussing a lot of nonsense.]

[You're just being frivolous. Elf Knight is a song from the 17th century. The original version is a very evil story about an elf who wants to kidnap a girl to be his concubine unless she can complete some impossible tasks. Later, the situation gradually turned around, and the girl became the one who made things difficult for the elf who pursued her.]

[So, there’s really no problem with arguing with each other]

[Watch the historical research by the great historians]

[Kneel down to the history master]

[Fun fact: the modern version of Scarborough Fair was inspired by Ivan MacColl, whose real name was James Henry, who collected the song from miners. He was a socialist and a Red.]

[Fuck]

[WTF TF TF]

[Waiting here]

[Athrun really wants to...?!]

[The map of Yan State is so long]

The map of Yan State is really this long.

The meaning of the song itself is important, but it is not that important.

Can singing a song kill someone?

Come on, this isn't the set of Macross.

Therefore, the meaning behind the song is very important.

As for whether Aslan can understand?

It’s okay, Yui will make Athrun understand.

With the end of the last song, the concert finally came to an end.

But at this time, Lux opened the last MV.

This is a folk song that has been passed down since the AD era, a folk song that has been around for hundreds of years.

"It's a male voice, no wonder it's not Yui's..."

Before he could finish, Aslan choked.

Because Aslan found that the song title translated into "free and easy". And the lyrics can also be seen on the tablet

The first line of the lyrics is "Once upon a time, I lived freely and comfortably."

If this happened in North Africa, it would be a "counter-song"!

“Life has taught me that things change.”

In the picture, an old man in traditional clothes returns to his hometown in the desert and reminisces about his childhood friend.

In the MV, the old man wearing sunglasses and traditional clothes actually looks a bit cute.

But in the picture, there is also a huge monster.

"Stop sleepwalking, stop tearing me apart..."

metaphor.

No, it goes without saying.

The audience in the GBN world doesn't understand.

But the audience in the first world understood.

[I was saying that after Cagalli followed the Archangel, what would happen to the Dawn Desert?]

[Waiting here]

In the "original work", Cagalli did not follow the Archangel, but after being sent away from Heliopolis by Kira, she came to North Africa and joined the Dawn Desert Organization that resisted ZAFT.

But in Director Lei's script, these plots have completely disappeared.

The audience who had seen SEED's first world were stunned.

[I looked it up and it's no wonder there's a Dawn Desert in North Africa. The area where the Dawn Desert is active is in the N'Ajjer Plateau, which belongs to Algeria.]

It would be strange if I compromised.

[What does it mean]

[They also helped the French invaders start the war of resistance, which lasted eight years.]
