HIsahi is looking around the makeup section in a big department store. He picks up some blue lipsticks and compares them, painitng a small spot on the back of his hand. Once he has chosen two (one being the same color he ran out of in the last concert and the other a new shade he had not seen before), he moves towards the foundation section, where a figure with dark sunglasses and a big blue hat is looking at him suspiciously. He centers on the different shades of foundation that surround him, but notices that the figure approaches.
“Hisashi-san?” a strange voice asks.
“Uh?” Hisashi turns around, cursing voicelessly at the thought that some fan jusst discovered him. No, the man doesn’t look like a freaky hysteric fan… He lifts his own sunglasses and tries to associate the blue lips to a known person… “Mana-san?”
“The same one,” he says. “Did you find something interesting?”
“Yeah” Hisashi’s face lights up at the remembrance of the new shade of lipstick in his bag. “Take a look at what I just bought,” he opens it and hands it to Mana.
“Uauuuu,” Mana takes his glasses off and looks at it amazed, “Beautiful color…”
“Can I see it?” a new voice asks from behind Hisashi’s shoulder.
Both Mana and Hisashi jump at the sound and turn around in record time to find a smiling blue-haired youth facing them. The guy lifts his own sunglasses and blinks friendly, his long eyelashes covered with blue mascara.
“Ohayou Hisashi-san, Mana-san,” he greets, “Guess nobody wants to be discovered by screaming fans?”
“Ohayou Toshiya-chan!” Mana laughs. “We should find a new disguise or it will be too easy for our fans, only to look around for strange looking guys wearing dark sunglasses…”
“Toshiya…” Hisashi repeats. “I didn’t recognize you.”
“Thanx! That means no problems with fans!” he turns his attention back to the lipstick Mana is holding. “Uuuuu, beautiful…”
The three jrockers place their sunglasses back and go on looking for makeup together. Mana and Toshiya buy the same lipstick as Hisashi and then a nice shade of foundation, mascara and eyeshadow.
“I’m happy!” Toshiya bounces around once they are on the street.
“Are you going to wear it on the concert Dir En Grey is giving tonight?” Mana asks.
“Yeah, guess so…” He places a forefinger over his lips and stares blankly for a few seconds, then smiles. “Have and idea!!!” He grabs Hisashi and Mana from the neck and begins talking to their ears. After a while, the three of them stand grinning and nodding, patting each other’s back.

Later that day at DEG’s concert:

“Whatcha doin’?” a startled Kyo asks Toshiya, who has just taken the microphone from his hand and walks to the edge of stage.
“HEY CROWD!!” he shouts at the same time as out of the corner of his eye he sees Kyo, Shinya, Kaoru and Die blinking at each other. “Have a li’l surprise for you all tonight…A nice cover I’m going to play and SING, and two friends are gonna help me!!!”
The crowd goes crazy as two famous men come out of the backstage and join the bassist, the three wearing the same blue lipstick and similar blue makeup and clothes. Toshiya greets them and begins playing his bass, a known melody coming out of its chords…
Known?
The crowd shuts up as the music come to their ears and blink in disbelief together with the other four members of Dir En Grey.
Mana and Toshiya lean forward towards the microphone Hisashi is now holding and smile inwardly as the words come out…
“… I’M BLUE DABADI DABADA…”
