I wanted to make this post two days ago... orz
Since I'm so excited about the new singles, Episode.0 and Paranoid Doll, coming out in July, I wanted to share some more info on it that others in the fandom may not know about.
I'm going to translate what G said (but only the parts relevant to the song) about Episode.0 when he first commented on it during the Nico Nico competition.

You know, this is....a great song.
This song....., from among all the entries to this competition, is the one that makes you cry the most. I think this is a truly great song.
The hook is really good, right here. [G hums it.] This part's amazing... [G keeps humming.]
I want everybody to listen to the entire song to the end.
First of all, the quality of the song is high. The melody itself is monotonous all the way, but the vocal keeps pulling you in. And yet, it's only Gakupoid singing it, right? That tells you how convincing the melody and lyrics are, you know? If the intensity and emotions of a real person got added to the song, there'd be a drastic improvement. I really think this is a great song.
To be utterly honest, when I heard this song for the first time..., you know I'm gonna be in a play next year and was thinking about writing a song for the play, but when I heard this song, I thought "Why not this one?".
[The host looks totally shocked and says "You're not saying that because you have a fever, are you?", and G laughs. He did have a pretty high fever that day.]
And.....now, a perfect fanvid popped up on YT!! :D

TOTAL AWESOMENESS..... ;w;
By the way, I translated the lyrics to Episode.0 in
my journal if anybody's interested.
Also, let me add something G said about Paranoid Doll.
He said that the song can only be sung by Gakupoid because there aren't enough pauses for breath and the vocal range is insanely wide.
And yet, he chose to sing it..... *w*
I'm so psyched about this one, too!!
