starsailGuests: Ogasawara Jin (Nayuta), Ito Masahiro (Ren)
When they were doing introductions, Jin slipped up and almost called himself a member of Argonavis (he made his introduction right after Masahiro did his) and all the three argo guys were like HOLD UP, YOU, SINCE WHEN DID ARGO HAVE 2 VOCALISTS
A listener wrote in to talk about Hoshi ga Hajimaru, which they got to listen to through the livestream of the 2nd live.
They then shared their own impressions of the song.
Jin?? got goosebumps when he heard itl
Maeda said when he first heard the full version, he was like... "I played that?" and really moved. he would like to perform it live again to even more people!
Masahiro was s h o c k e d when he found out he was gonna sing a song written by USG's Tomoya Tabuchi, like "huh? i'm singing this? in this lifetime? what did i do to deserve this?" He found the key pretty high, but USG told him it wasn't /that/ high, so he challenged it and was super happy to find that he could do it.
He likes the second verse, in particular the 4-count before the chorus that goes "...sure ga chigau..." He felt the lyrics were super romantic when he first read them - he thought of the different argo members, and of the story of argo as a band, as he was singing it. Hyuusuke noted that as Masa's the vocalist, he would think about the lyrics and interpret them with his singing.
Hyuusuke?? said that when they were playing it they tried their best to make it glittery and starry
Masa asked Hyuusuke and Mae-chan how it was, compared to playing Sugar Song and Bitter Step (which is also a USG song). Mae-chan said there was a lot of melody for him on bass; Masa said he was super cool during the live.
Following one of the letters, they started talking about what ARGONAVIS & GYROAXIA means to them.

Rather than MANIFESTO, what is GYROAXIA to Jin-kun?
J: What!? Why do I go first?!
(??): Because you’re the guest w
J: We’re the antithesis of Argonavis, and as opposites we stand on the same stage as each other’s rivals… I’m looking forward to making even more memories with each other and everything to come.
(??): We’re looking forward to the 3rd live, it’s the first time we’ll have two bands on at the same time, I wonder how it’s going to turn out!
(??): It’s also the first time we’ll be doing a two-day live! We’re excited~
What about the two of you? What is Argonavis to you?
Ito: That’s… a hard question. For me, as Ito Masahiro, as a vocalist, it’s a turning point. Before I joined, I had been doing music… and before Argonavis was decided, I had actually been thinking about quitting. From here on, I feel like the potential for this project is infinite.
Hyuusuke: I talked about this briefly with Ito-chan before, about what would have happened without Argonavis; for me, I was able to do things that I wasn’t able to in the past… I improved a lot with my guitar - watching each other’s performances, I was inspired to work even harder, and I want to be even better at conveying my thoughts to everyone.
Maeda: Before I joined Hibiki, I had actually thought to myself, “If nothing happens this year, I guess I’ll quit.” On my last try, I auditioned for Hibiki, and was accepted, and because of that I encountered the bass auditions and found Argonavis. For me, “continuity” is the biggest factor; if not for that encounter, I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t have met the other members, much less the Gyroaxia members and Fantome Iris members… Like what Masa said, it’s a turning point for me, it’s a big part of my life.
Masahiro: We certainly still are holding on to that same heart that we did when we started out… I often think about how we’re here because of the people who have been supporting us. Thank you for coming into my life!
