Shouta's thoughts and comments about Bad End (summary)
-the lyrics is mostly Gerard's POV, so Shouta's main focus was to expresd Gerard's bruteness/intense feelings for Catalina through his singing style which he took as a challenge. For that, he pondered abt things, and then

realized that it's okay to not settle with just one singing style, that he should not limit himself there and keep trying and challenging things. So to express the intensity properly he explored on spitting out the lyrics and going all out singing style
-angela's atsuko herself

Also got surprised of how high the song was when she first heard it during their meeting for thr theme song, and was a bit worried for shouta (lol). Shouta said that it really was a challenge but bc of some experiences he was able to take on thru work etc, he also received

A lot of vocal training for his throat, which let him be able somehow sing it smoothly.
-angela's Katsu and atsuko actually aimed for a song as cool as Bad End, but eventually just went with pop rock instead since they just couldnt make it somehow. Katsu joked he thinks he

Partly owns Bad End

About King Super Live 2018
-shouta received report that he will join a collab for Kakumei Dualism with angela, so he was like YAY i wonder if thered be another female artist with us (expecting he's singing male part) but staff only mentioned

Mamo and Yuuma and so Shouta was, wait so what does that mean?? And so he joined atsuko to balance out ww he said everytime he watches that part from dvd, he gets the goosebumps and thinks of how fun it was. "but well, yappari female key was really so hard w"

Atsuko was shocked coz she said during the performance shouta didnt look like it.. shouta said it was probs the adrenaline rush that time but after he got off stage "i felt my brain channel got weird for a moment there lmao"
atsuko had fun singing w/shouta too btw

-during rehearsals, atsuko said nobody was moving from their spots but just as they went on stage, mamo went hype and just went all out, jumping and kept interacting with shouta, which felt contagious for atsuko. Katsu said Mamo was amazing for going all out from beginning but

Shouta who also followed thru receiving mamo's jumps and hype was also amazing.. atsuko noted how shouta had that "HERE WE GO" excited face as soon as he saw mamo's spike and followed thru www. Shouta said during rehearsals he's been watching and waiting for

Everyone to somehow move around, he expected theyd be going all out since he knows they were all hyper performers, so he thought everyone's probs thinking they wanna move around too. And then during stage mamo just jumped out and he thought ah there it is www

-atsuko's impression/thoughts abt shouta: a superstar. Not only is he a seiyuu, he can sing and dance, can act on stage, cute and cool at the same time, and a very funny guy, which makes her respect him a lot.

-katsu's thoughts abt shouta in general: a unique presence in the industry.. he thinks from thr new gen of seiyuus who might have a goal to be like someone in the industry, anyone who would be thinking 'i wanna be like aoi shouta' would be having a very high hurdle to overcome.

'Being aoi shouta' per se is smth he thinks nobody else can achieve besides shouta himself, and that's because shouta worked sweat and tears to create 'aoi shouta', a spot that only he himself owns and thus nobody else can replace. Also shouta always saying that it's

Coz his staff are there for him that he can become Aoi Shouta (to put it simply it's shouta's humility), is smth he finds amazing, since he himself never thought nor said it before towards his staff www
