Isn’t It a Beautiful Day for Metal Shamisen Bangers

Yes, It Is a Beautiful Day for Metal Shamisen Bangers

Really Feelin' That Anime Protagonist Vibe Right Now

My Stamina Bar Emptied Right Before the Roll But Had a Clutch Elixir Ready to Go

The Opponent Tried to Slow-Play Me but Their Timer Hit Zero and I Won Out of Sheer Patience

Rolled Too Early Took the L, Rolled Too Late Took the L, Got Sent Back to the Last Checkpoint But Tried Again for the W

Metal Shamisen for You, Shamisen Metal for Me

Shamisen Rock for You, Rock Shamisen for Me

Then Their Keyboardist Tried to Hype the Crowd but Their Mic Cut Out and Ended Up Doing What Looked Like Charades Instead, Nobody Guessed Right
