Chapter 3: Nightmares

Greg

Izzy opened his suitcase to reveal these wrist devices that looked like they came from Super Sentai. They were all in different colors, too. Izzy looked so proud at his creation, and he showed them off to us. "This is the Digivice ic5, the newest and most advanced Digivice ever developed. What we've done is taken the key components of the original Digivice, the D3, and the D-Terminal to bring you an all-in-one device. It's a a powerful computing device designed to withstand the most severe environmental conditions and to be worn comfortably on the user's wrist for hands-free operation. It has a special case made of fiberglass reinforced nylon and magnesium alloy, which maximizes the strength and minimizes weight." I ooohed and ahhed at it, while Thomas took notes. "It looks awesome, but doesn't it look a bit bulky?" Matt asked. The genius tried not to be fazed by it. "Matt, please hold your questions until later. Thanks. As I was saying, this device is made up of two elements: the core system and the rigid wrist support. The core system can be easily detached from the rigid wrist support by pressing two buttons at the same time." He demonstrated by detaching and then reattaching the core system. "I knew there'd be a huge learning curve for some of you, so I designed it so it could be used both as a hand held and as a wrist-mounted device." Then, he paused for a second. "You're welcome. This is basically everything you need to Digivolve. It's got a sensor right here for your Digisoul, 128 megabytes of flash memory, 512 megabytes of RAM, a Bluetooth Class 2 - integrated antenna, a stylus, the works. But there are a few things I'm really proud of." He selected something on the side of the device, and it became smaller, like a regular watch. "Looks like something out of a science fiction movie," Thomas mused. "I think it's very important, sir," Gaomon disagreed. Izzy went on, "I've calibrated the Digivices to react to your brain waves. Basically, if you summon it with your mind, it will come. Like this." Then, he strapped on another watch and posed with it, bringing his arm up. It transformed into his own personal Digivice. That brought on more oohs and aaahs from the crowd. "Pretty cool, huh? Of course, you can also press these two buttons here on the side, but that's in the instruction manual. I guess I better take some questions, now. Who has one?" he asked.

Izzy looked around and picked on Marcus. "Yeah, what's all this DigiSoul stuff you were talking about?" the brawler asked. Izzy carried on like a professor. "Very good question. DigiSoul is a visible aura created by a human's soul, a physical manifestation of a human partner's emotions that they can send to their Digimon to prompt Digivolution. As most of you know, the original Digivices were designed to channel the emotional energy of the human user, allowing their Digimon partners to Digivolve to Champion level; when used with a Crest, the Digivices allowed further Digivolution to Ultimate, or even beyond." "Crest? You mean like the toothpaste?" Marcus joked. Normally, I'd laugh at something like that, but now wasn't the time. Izzy shook his head, and I could see that he was trying not to lose whatever patience he had. I kind of felt sorry for him. "...No, the various traits each of us have. For example, I have the Crest of Knowledge, and Matt has the Crest of Friendship. I'll explain it to you later, Marcus. Anyway, DigiSoul bypasses that, allowing the human to directly feed his or her emotions to the Digimon, converting it into energy the Digimon can use to Digivolve. Now, we no longer have to wait until we're in danger for our Digimon to Digivolve." Kari had a followup. "So does it work like Armor Digivolution?" she inquired. "In a way, yes. It's quite fascinating. Anyway, the first level, which I think most of you will be able to get to, is manifest from your hand. The one opposite the wrist you mount the Digivice on, to be exact. All you do, is press this red button on the side of the device. That flips open the sensor. Then, you charge up your Digisoul, call out 'DigiSoul Charge!', and then scan your hand along the sensor." He took off his device, strapped on what must have been a dummy device, and then demonstrated. "We tried making the process as user-friendly as possible," Commander Sampson commented. "Indeed. But what's even better about DigiSoul is that with proper control, you can use it yourself to enhance your strength. I'll explain later."

The pink-haired girl, Yolei, was next. "What about our Digi-Eggs?" "I was just about to get to that, Yolei. Commander Sampson and I spent many long hours working on just that problem. We discovered that it was possible to use the power of a Digi-Egg without actually having the Digi-Egg in your possession. So, we've taken everyone's Digi-Eggs and replicated them so that you could use all the Eggs your Digimon was compatible with. Some of your Digimon are compatible with more Digi-Eggs than others. For example, Veemon can use eleven, while Gatomon can use ten and Renamon and Tentomon can only use one. Greg, since you're partnered with a Veemon, you'll be able to use all the Digi-Eggs Davis can use." Oh boy, here we go again. "What? That's not fair, man!" Davis protested.

"Nobody said life was fair, Davis. In order to select a DigiEgg, you just go to the DigiEgg menu. Then, it's about the same as any other standard Armor Digivolution procedure." "And what's that?" Rika asked. "Basically you hold up the Digivice, or in this case, pose with your arm, and shout 'DigiArmor Energize'." "'DigiArmor Energize'? Who came up with that?" "I did," Davis' Veemon said. We all looked to him. "I didn't hear you tell him to say that, Veemon," T.K. disagreed. "You must not have been paying attention," Kari commented. "And you were with your ankle?" her partner asked. She had to think about that one. "Hmm... good point." "I was paying attention, Kari. Veemon said, 'I can Digivolve if you open up the Digiegg, but you have to have courage to do it!' Didn't say anything about 'DigiArmor Energize'. Davis must've come up with that on his own," the guy with the bucket hat guessed. Yolei started howling in laughter at that one. "Davis coming up with that on his own? Ahahahahahaha! Oh, T.K., that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!" She had to take off her glasses to wipe the tears away from her eyes from laughing. Davis stuck his tongue out at her, while the short kid Cody spoke up. "But then how did Hawkmon and Armadillomon know about it?" he asked. Izzy had to reel everyone in. "Ahem... as much as I'd love to join in, I still have a presentation to finish. May I please finish?" Everyone turned back to him.

It was then that I discovered I had a burning question, so I raised my hand. "Yes, Greg?" "Does this Digivice have an MP3 player on it?" I asked. Izzy facepalmed. "No. I removed all the distractions. It has e-mail and instant messaging between units, but no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no anything." "Not even Trigonometry Trivia?" Kari asked with a teasing smile. That caught him off guard. "Uh..."


Kari

Trigonometry Trivia was Izzy's favorite video game. I should know, he spent countless weekends at our apartment when his XBox 360 broke and he had to borrow ours. He kept Gatomon and me up all night. Who decided to add that game to XBox Live Arcade anyway? Commander Sampson confirmed Izzy's sacrifice. "Not even Trigonometry Trivia," he said. "...eh, right. Anyway, it's got one other function. There's an infrared light that converts your Digimon into data, so it can hide inside the Digivice when you're not on a mission. Our mission must be kept secret. People can't know about Digimon actually existing." "Oh, so how are we going to explain the whole incident with Diaboromon, or what just happened a few months ago?" Matt asked. "That won't be your problem. The governments of the world are doing everything they can. Your goal is to be the first line of defense. The rock band is a cover up," Sampson explained. Izzy went on after that, probably eager to change the subject. "As I was saying, you keep your Digimon inside the iC. If you want them to come out, you push this button here on the side, say their name and give the command 'realize'. Anybody want to see a demonstration?"


Greg

We were so amazed at this new device that we all had to get our hands on one. Luckily, they all came in different colors. Matt got a blue and silver one. T.K.'s was green and cerulean, while Kari's was pink and white. Rika's was white and yellow, while I chose one with a gray and green configuration. Thomas went for blue and white, and Marcus decided to choose orange and white. We also got uniforms that were apparently made by Under Armor. "The bodysuit is close to the skin for a streamlined fit without the squeeze of compression, while using a soft, thermo-conductive inner coating to absorb and retain your own body heat," Kudamon explained. Whatever it did, it looked good. Just not good enough for a rock band. I wouldn't want to be caught dead on stage wearing it.

We spent the next few months in training. When we weren't learning about teamwork and battle strategy, we were learning how to hold notes, how to breathe, and how to play our instruments better. Some of us, namely Kari, T.K., Rika, and me; decided to throw in some dance instruction on the side. Marcus and Matt stepped away from this.

Within three months, we were signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan under the Ki/oon Music label and were ready to shoot our first music video, right in Odaiba. It was a song Matt wrote himself and released before.


Matt

"I Turn Around" was the first really professional song I'd ever written before, and has a lot of autobiographical meaning behind it. It started off as just a poem I wrote during detention, but I later added music to it. I'll admit, I listened to a lot of Third Eye Blind on the radio while writing this song.


["I Turn Around"

Written by Yamato Ishida (more than likely either Udi Harpaz, Andrew Plessner, Paul Gordon, Deddy Tzur, Andrew Muson, Shuki Levy, or Kussa Mahchi; who knows, really?)
Performed by The Teenage Wolves

Lead Vocal: Yamato "Matt" Ishida (Michael Reisz)]

The video starts in Odaiba, where Matt and his dad are having breakfast on a Sunday morning. As the song continues, we see pictures of the Ishida family when they were still together hanging on the walls. That transitions to separate pictures of Matt with his dad and T.K. with his mom.

Matt:

You've got a boy, you've got a girl,
Sittin' underneath a tree.
They sit there everyday.
And even though, you may think, this is the way that things should be,
It may not always be that way.

You can't take nothing for granted,
You gotta live life today.

The scene switches to a soccer field where Matt and the other Teenage Wolves are watching Davis' team practice soccer. And yes, Davis does make an appearance in this video.

Matt:
I turn around, I can see what's behind me,
I turn back around, I can see what's ahead.
And if you don't believe I've been here all along,
Just turn around.
Just turn around.

We next move to a local playground where the original Chosen Children/DigiDestined hung out the night Davis, Yolei, and Cody started their journeys. The band with their set up performs there.

Matt:
You wanna get, you gotta give
There is no other way to be
So give it a try

This is intercut with general scenes of the band hanging out and playing the rides at the Odaiba Joypolis along with various scenes of people doing common things all inter-related.

Matt:

If what I say is really so, you got to let somebody see
You can't just keep it inside
You can't take nothing for granted,
You gotta live life today.
I turn around, I can see what's behind me,
I turn back around, I can see what's ahead.
And if you don't believe I've been here all along,
Just turn around.
Just turn around.

During the instrumental bridge, we see the band and some of their friends posing and fooling around at Panasonic Centre, a science and technology showroom. Izzy and Thomas takes particular interest in RiSuPia, while Greg, Matt, Marcus, and T.K. are busy at Nintendo Game Front. As we come back into the song, we go to the Fuji TV studios to find each of the members of the band going up the tubed escalator/staircase with their instruments. Then, we get aerial shots of Odaiba as we zoom into the Spherical Observation Room, where the band is playing inside.

Matt:
You can't take nothing for granted,
You gotta live life today.
I turn around, I can see what's behind me,
I turn back around, I can see what's ahead.
And if you don't believe I've been here all along,
Just turn around.
Just turn around.

I turn around, I can see what's behind me,
I turn back around, I can see what's ahead.
And if you don't believe I've been here all along,
Just turn around.
Just turn around.

As the music video ends, the camera turns around to show the band at the Statue of Liberty looking out at the sunset.


Greg

We had the launch party at the SMEJ offices. DATS had a secret deal with the label so we could invite our Digimon to the party. There was a lot of food, video games, just a good time had by everyone. The big issue now was to release the music video at the same time as the single. All we were missing was a bonus track for the CD single. We decided to sleep on it and come up with an idea in the morning.


That night, T.K. and Kari both experience very similar, yet different dreams. We start with Kari's. She's alone on a raft in the middle of a monochrome ocean. She quickly looks around to see what's happening. "Oh no... not this again," she moans. Out in the distance, she can see a very familiar lighthouse. It's official, she's in the Dark Ocean. She starts freezing up in fear, calling out for anyone to help her. "T.K.! Gatomon! Tai! I- I'd even take Davis right now! Just somebody! Help!" All of a sudden, she hears a faint voice. "Kari!" She searches for the voice, and out there swimming to her is T.K., her supposed knight in shining armor. He finally makes it to the raft, only for a creature with innumerable, multiplying tentacles to appear from the depths, laughing menacingly. The two fight the creature off, or at least attempt to, but the force of the water is too much for them as they get pulled down into the depths of the sea. Further and further down they go until Kari is forced to let out all the air she still has left in her body. Her eyes become glassy and empty, unable to focus. The last thing she sees clearly is T.K. going through the same thing. She blacks out.


T.K.'s nightmare starts off very differently. He, Patamon, and Gatomon are on a cliff overlooking the Dark Ocean. "This is looking awfully familiar, T.K.," Patamon notes. The DigiDestined nods and looks around for his BFF. This time, T.K. doesn't have his usual D3 and D-Terminal, but now sees that he has the Digivice ic5 in its Standby Mode. He clenches his fist and twists his wrist, summoning the Digivice. "All right. Let's see what this baby can do." He looks to his partner. "Time to rock, Patamon!" "Yeah!" He selects the DigiEgg of Hope from his DigiEgg menu and presses "OK" with his finger. "DigiEgg of Hope!" he calls. Then, he swings his arm around and poses. "DigiArmor Energize!" The energy hits Patamon as he Armor Digivolves. "Patamon Armor Digivolve to..." The Armor Digivolution sequence is updated for this series, being more computer-generated and more futuristic. The result is still the same, a golden flying horse. "Pegasusmon, Flying Hope!" T.K. smiles, glad to know it's still working. He and Gatomon mount the Pegasus as the human points out the way. "Let's ride!" Pegasusmon flies off in search of Kari.

They eventually fly over the raft. "I'm going in after her," the bearer of the Crest of Hope announces. "You mean you're going to free fall? Man, you're crazier than a soup sandwich," Gatomon says. Not paying her any mind, T.K. jumps off Pegasusmon in true style. "Kariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" He quickly moves into position to dive, landing in the water. Then, he swims to the raft, where a creature with innumerable, multiplying tentacles appears from the depths, laughing menacingly. "Star Shower!" "Lightning Paw!" The two Digimon attempt to fight the creature off, but it's of no avail as the humans get pulled down into the depths of the sea. Further and further down they go until Kari is forced to let out all the air she still has left in her body. It's becoming harder for T.K. to fight his breathing reflex, try as he might. The last thing T.K. screams out is Kari's name, although you can't make it out clearly in the water.


T.K.

"KARI!"

I woke up and sat up in bed, looking around, making sure I was still breathing. I felt my sheets, and they were slightly damp. A cold sweat. Patamon woke up and noticed. "T.K., are you all right? You didn't have another one of those nightmares, did you?" he asked, concerned. I just nodded. "Third time this week, Patamon. I freefall into the water, get pulled down, and end up screaming Kari's name before drowning." "It's only a dream. None of it's real. You're breathing." Then, he flew closer to my side as I held him tight. Then, I settled back down to sleep.


Kari

I sprang upright in bed and gasped. Why was I having this dream over and over? I thought we'd defeated MaloMyotismon. I felt my pajama pants and sheets; they were dry. Gatomon was asleep at the foot of my bed. Everything was just the way it should be. Just then, I remembered something one of the Scubamon had said to me before T.K. rescued me the first time. "'Beware, child. Our master can sense your power, too. And he will come for you.' But then why has he waited so long?" I softly wondered. "...Please, Kari, I'm trying to sleep," Gatomon moaned, half-awake. "Sorry, Gatomon. I've just been thinking. I think I know what song our band can use for the bonus track."


Greg

That morning, we met at the recording studio, where Kari had an idea for a song. "'Time After Time' by Cyndi Lauper? I thought we weren't an 80s tribute band," Marcus grumbled. "Look, guys, this song is really important to me. It's not so much for the band as it is for T.K." Kari pleaded. "Well, at least you're keeping it within the band," Matt reckoned, "Come on, guys. I guess I can adapt it to our tastes. Put lower emphasis on the 'salt shaker' and more emphasis on the guitar. We're on a tight schedule though, and I'd like to start on the actual album soon. OK?" Kari eagerly nodded.

We worked on the song until we got it right. Thomas decided to be producer on this track, with Gaomon standing in at the keyboards. I tell you, that dog was smart. The other Digimon sat in the control room, listening. It took us about 15 takes to get all the nerves out, but the 16th was excellent.


["Time After Time" (Take 16)

Written by Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman

From the album I Turn Around

Performed by The Teenage Wolves

Lead Singer: Kari Kamiya (Lara Jill Miller)

Backup Vocals: T.K. Takaishi (Michael Cunio)]

The song starts up as Matt plays the bass line and Marcus starts the drum machine, quickly moving to his drums. Kari secures her headphones, approaches the microphone, and holds her right ear.

Kari:

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after-

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

Kari/T.K.:

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
(Kari: Oh, I'll be waiting)
Time after time

Greg plays a piece on his electric guitar, while Thomas gives Kari the thumbs up from inside the control room, along with Gatomon and Patamon.However, in the Bearer of Light's mind, the color fades into a monochrome as she imagines herself and T.K. out of the studio and in a space of nothingness. Don't worry, folks, she's still sane. At least, I think she is.

Kari:

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

Kari/T.K.:

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

During the instrumental bridge, the band appears with her, playing backup.

Kari:

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

Kari/T.K.:

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting
(Kari: Oh, I'll be waiting)
Time after time

Kari:

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

(repeat until fade)

As the song ends, we come back to the recording studio. After a few seconds of silence, Thomas stops the recording. "And we're clear. Great job, guys. Three minutes, 53 seconds," he announces.


Greg

Kari looked a bit spaced out, so I tried getting her attention. "Not bad for your 16th try, Kari. Kari? Yoo-hoo, Earth to Kari." I snapped my fingers in front of her face, and she pushed down on my hand. "I'm fine," she insisted with a slightly annoyed smile. "Ahhhhhhh... yeah." I turned to T.K. and pulled him aside as I put away my guitar. "T.K., you gotta keep track of your woman," I suggested. "She's not 'my woman', she's my friend," he corrected me. "She could've fooled me. I was paying attention to you two during the song. Perfect harmony, intensity, slightly overwrought vocal work... workplace representations of l-o-v-e. I'm getting a Mello Yello, would you two care to join me?"

Exactly five minutes later, I paid for six bottles of Mello Yello. There was one for each of the six of us (Veemon, Gatomon, Patamon,. Kari, T.K., and myself). I started the conversation. "So, let's get this all out in the open. What is the deal between you two?" "Well, there's no deal. We're just really good friends," Kari explained. "That's not what I saw in the studio this morning." "What do you mean?" "Well, my dear Kari, you and T.K. were in perfect harmony. Not just on the take that cut, but throughout all the 15 cuts before. We never had to stop because of either of you. It was either Marcus or me. It seemed like you were actually singing to T.K." The poor girl. She looked around nervously, getting confirmation from her partner, then turning back to me. "That's because I was." "Oh?" "It's kind of complicated. You see, a few months ago, I was called by these voices to a place called the Dark Ocean. It's another dimension between here and the Digital World, a completely different plane made of darkness. It's a terrible place." I took a sip from my bottle. "Why'd you get called in?" I asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe it's because... it's because I have the Crest of Light." "What does that have to do with anything?" "You don't understand, Greg. Kari's soul is so full of light and is so pure, that she has to guard herself against the darkness. That's why I had to go in to save her, because without hope, there's no light," T.K. went on. "I hear you, man. Wait... Veemon, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this starting to have some sort of religious overtone?" I asked my partner, who nodded. "Yep, definitely religious." "OK, so maybe I do go to church, but I don't think it has anything to do with religion," Kari defended herself. Even when defending herself, she was kind and gentle. "Eh, maybe you're right. But that's beside my original point, which is that you two are a couple."


Veemon

Gatomon chugged down some of her drink, then put the bottle down. "Can you believe the conversation those three are having? T.K. and Kari are just really good friends. They've been through a lot together, and Greg shouldn't be putting his nose in that." "They have? Like what?" I asked. Patamon explained. "Well, there was this one time four-and-a-half years ago when we were fighting this evil Digimon clown, Piedmon. He'd turned nearly everyone else into keychains. The only people left were T.K. and Kari, and I, as Angemon, was the last good Digimon still standing." "You were an angel?" "Yeah. That's my Champion level. Anyway, Sora had told T.K. to protect Kari, so there was a lot of pressure on him. The two were on a rope and were climbing up to what they thought was safety. Piedmon cut the rope and sent the two falling. Now, T.K. had his brother's keychain, and started imagining what Matt would say. That gave him enough hope to activate his Crest, allowing me to Digivolve to my Ultimate level, MagnaAngemon. I saved the day and all our friends. It was pretty cool." "So wait, your entire Digivolution to Ultimate was fueled by hope?" I asked. "Yeah. Each of the original DigiDestined has one. When the DigiDestined exhibit the trait of their crests, the Crest lights up, and its power is released to allow Digivolution from Champion to Ultimate, or in some cases, Rookie to Mega. Matt's one of those cases, although it was T.K. that allowed him to do it. Well, I helped a little," Patamon answered, giggling a little.


Greg

"OK, so this whole thing with the Crests. I think I have a bit more understanding of why you two are so close. So, tell you what I'm gonna do." I took out my wallet and gave Kari a ¥1000 note. "You two go get some burgers and have a good time." "Huh? Greg, where are you getting all this money?" T.K. asked. "I'll fill you in on a little secret, dude..." I got in a bit closer and whispered something to them. "I sold some baseball cards to Matt." "Oh. Well, thanks."


Meanwhile, we now move to a cave in the Digital World. Three Digimon dressed like ancient Japanese samurai and courtesans bow before a white-haired, bearded man with dark skin, five red horns on his head, and eight small black wings. One of the bowing Digimon is a cross between a demonic priestess and a feudal Japanese courtesan, wearing long, purple robes over a leather catsuit. Her hair is black like the wings protruding from her back and her skin is seen being rather pale. But her most dominant feature is the dreaded Nazar Nail covering her right arm, which allows her to corrode anything it touches. Another wears black armor with red flame details and a dark blue cape. The last is very large and white with disproportionally large arms and hands embedded in metallic gloves and a mighty tail with a crystal orb at his end that can act as a massive club. The bearded man with horns speaks. "The time is coming closer at hand. MaloMyotismon has failed to conquer the Human World. I shall pick up where he left off. Once we claim that world for ourselves, we can manipulate the humans into conquering the Digital World for us." Just then, the creature with the tentacles comes slithering in, greeting the man. "Lord Bagra." "Yes?" "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dragomon, Depraved Monk of the Deep, at your service. I was hoping the two of us could collaborate on something." "What is it?" "I have this eye on a certain human, one whose heart is pure. In fact, she was one of the key factors in fulfilling the ancient prophesy. My minions have attempted to capture her in the Dark Ocean, and Arukenimon assisted me the second time. Both times, it was of no avail." "And what do you plan to do with the human?" Lord Bagra asks. "If I can control her, I can control the light. If I can kill her, I can destroy the light! It's a win-win!" "That sounds wonderful. We'll help you any way we can, Dragomon." "We are?!" the courtesan asks indignantly. "Yes, we are. And that is my final word on the matter," Lord Bagra declares.


Author's Notes:

I based the Digivice ic5 on the Zypad WR 11xx (although the WL1500 could work just as well) with the civilian/Standby mode on the Pebble E-Paper Watch. Yes, I'm trying to create a different Digivice, one that isn't handheld.

Don't worry, folks. Rika, Marcus, and Thomas will get their own moments. After all, we are sending them on a world tour. We're just setting everything up here.

If you're a Takari fan, you're going to love this whole dang fanfic.

Does anyone know who specifically wrote "I Turn Around"? If you do, then please let me know so I can correct the listing. Thanks.

Ki/oon Music is a Japanese record label, a subsidiary of Sony Music Japan. Some of their popular artists include Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Home Made Kazoku, and Puffy AmiYumi. I was going to use Nippon Columbia (who currently has Project.R signed to them), but finally decided on this one because it was much bigger. What matters is that they're connected to Sony Music.
