- What I did catch was the part about how the two companies' head staffers got together a band (the "Human Sacrifice Band" lol) for a one-off performance at BGM Festival. They wanted to include Anzu, but he has no musical talent whatsoever, so they decided to use him as a cheering section instead, and he ended up dancing while shaking maracas behind the rest of the band, and apparently stealing the show. A bunch of people in the crowd at the event were encouraging him to dance again, and Yanbaru and Sugina kept making comments like "hmmm, we'll answer that question/give out some more hints for Lot44/etc. ...if Anzu dances!" and asking the staff to bring some maracas and stuff.

- Liar-soft started as a big group of writers who got together to form an eroge company but then had to recruit the artists from here and there along the way. That's why they don't have any real in-house artists still and change artstyles regularly, and also why they tend to prioritize story and their games get pretty experimental/weird on that front, so their company is the only one who puts out things like oiran-pimping SLGs or the Steampunk games which are about 95% story and allegory and the rest is really non-explicit sex.

Or as one convo put it:
guy in crowd: "I was wondering why all your games tend to be... unusual..."
Yanbaru: "You mean (stuff like) Onna Yukizumo, right?"
(everyone laughs)
