[ did you know the first guitar hero game came out in 2005? yamato doesn't keep up with new games, so he has absolutely never seen this. he hears the music and sees ichiro with the plastic guitar and is ... completely intrigued immediately, wandering over.
Dude, no Guitar Hero? It's kind of an oldie, but it's a good one - lemme finish this song.
[ he's jammin appropriately, and doing pretty well!! (though no full combos, this is not his style of normal rhythm game....) and, as he's working his way through the middle part, he feels it
[ he looks SO excited but also, yeah, yamato's hand is twitching with the urge to sort of-- grab ichiro and chomp down? and he is resisting because please. no. absolutely not. look at the game not exposed skin, yamato.
but he mutters so naturally yamato assumes, wrongly; ]
Uhhh. [ oh god it's hard to focus on guitar hero and answering questions and the little urge that is going "bite bite bite bite" all at the same time. ] Mostly? They've got different genres of rock, though. Lots of American stuff. You - shit.
[ he misses another note and grumbles, trying to catch back onto his pattern. ] You'll find stuff you like, I bet.
[ he's almost done. almost done. bite bite bite GOD ] Have you -- ugh. Nevermind.
My dad has a lot of American rock in his records too. So probably. [ so he knows some of that stuff, and he is watching ichiro's hands more than the screen. it's entirely to understand how to play and not because nom nom nom nom-- NO. no NOM. what is WRONG with him. ]
[ he's a rapper not a rocker, but! the greats are the greats. anyway! it's really hard to focus on anything, and he manages to rush through the end of the song. the "SONG CLEAR! message flashes across the screen, and he lets go of the guitar, letting it hang on his shoulder. ]
You. [ ... ] Have you felt like. Weird this week.
[ the urge is still there! bite. bite bite bite! ichiro puts his free hand on his own face. this is the worst. ]
ichiro's entire face goes red, but he gives up on trying to hold back the compulsion and pulls up his left arm to return the favor and bite. it's not hard enough to leave much of a mark or anything, but there it is.
afterwards he just lets go, and puts his other hand back on his face. and then just leaves it there.
[ god he is equally thrilled for the conversation change, and ichiro immediately grabs the second guitar and hands it to yamato. thank god. ] Pick whatever song you want, let's throw down.
[ yamato probably will trounce him because ichiro is a rapper and a percussionist and cannot play the guitar in real life at all (probably? who knows, watch hypmic joss me like tomorrow) but that's okay. he can't resist the competition! ]
[ how much of guitar playing truly is translatable to guitar hero itself? a mystery. either way, yamato's real disadvantage is not playing a rhythm game before, because it'll take him a second to get into the beat. but, more importantly, he's selecting the song right now ]
Oh, I know this one. Try to keep up?
[ he's picked nirvana's smells like teen spirit, because this is the funniest option in guitar hero after i scrolled for 5 minutes. this is stupid. he may be mouthing the words at times. ]
