Main post:
Please avoid playing DEMON’S SHOT in the YouTube Music app for a while. Someone lowered the pitch of my song and registered it without my permission. It’s awful that I’ve only noticed this now. Every single time one of my songs gets even a little attention, being forced to deal with this is nothing but painful.
Quoted post (shown in Japanese as a translation from English):
If you’re streaming music on YouTube Music, please stop for a while. Someone used DistroKid under my name to distribute a pitch-lowered version. This is absolutely awful. What are you doing?????? @DistroKid

As if that weren’t bad enough, it’s been uploaded in worse quality. Is that to stop reposts from being automatically removed?

At least they aren’t claiming the rights to it.

I can’t tell whether I’m listening to the real thing or whether I’ve been listening to a fake...

Honestly, the gameplay doesn’t look that exciting to me.
Maybe they could just keep milking the character forever...

But the original game is popular.

Did you just diss Buckshot Roulette?

Honestly, after all this hype, I think it’d be pretty bad if it came out and was just Buckshot Roulette with a cute girl.

But... that’s literally all I’m hoping for?

The music and character are so popular—aren’t expectations for the game getting way too high?

You’re imagining it.

If you want to do the “Nichiren” bit, just say so.

Are people even expecting much from the game?
I just want to see Famu-chan moving around with all those animations.

If it’s something like the original game, I’m pretty interested.
Especially since it probably isn’t a game you spend ages playing.

Famu-chan could turn out to be a different kind of character than I expected.
All I know is that she’s a good-looking boozehound who’s trying to kill me for some reason.

People who like so-called roguelites will probably play it,
but that’s not really my genre, so I might just watch streams...

Does this game have roguelite elements?

It’s probably a take on Buckshot Roulette, so there aren’t any roguelike or roguelite elements.

Wait... then
> People who like so-called roguelites will probably play it,
what was this supposed to mean?
29Anonymous
I only thought of it as a variation on Buckshot Roulette,
but genre-wise, does this count as a roguelite?

I’m worried it’ll end up like El Shaddai.
> I’m worried it’ll end up like El Shaddai.
People who say stuff like this clearly aren’t interested in either game.
Just admit you’re annoyed it went viral before release and want it to flop.

People keep taking the bait like this, so they repeat the same bug-like behavior every time a thread goes up.
> I’m worried it’ll end up like El Shaddai.
Unlike that one, we know the original game behind the character in the thread image, so it shouldn’t turn into “this isn’t what I expected.”

Hazbin Hotel is ridiculously popular too. Really feels like there are more devil worshippers now.

Feels like it started catching on around Helltaker.

Was this what devil worship was supposed to be...?

Corruption is the devil’s specialty, after all.

Hazbin, Chainsaw Man, or Devilman if you go further back—Japanese people sure do like devils.

Can’t they upload this stuff without making it public beforehand...?

You can schedule uploads.

I haven’t played it yet. What kind of game is it?

A game where you shoot at each other with shotguns.

The vibe when she’s puking on you or doing that hand gesture is probably her real personality,
so if you’re expecting a cute, lovable screwup of a boozehound devil girl ♥, you might be in for a shock.

Hey, people have been getting off to Monika and Mita too.
It’ll work out.

Well, unlike Enoch, the music and character could probably keep it going.
And a game being short by design isn’t the same as being unfinished...

“If it turns out to be that”—the trailer already makes the gameplay pretty obvious.

The character song wasn’t the kind I expected.

It’s the theme song, not a character song.

I heard a story about someone’s partner being taken over by the character in the thread image, but I don’t know if it’s true.

That’s a false rumor.
