Taken from their album Fire It Up, "Real Bad Boys" makes a very subtle reference to the chord structure on Inner Circle's famous "Bad Boys" and features the distinctive guttural vocal tones of Blackout JA. Remix-wise Irish Moss have called in the big guns. Jalapeno's Basement Freaks turn in a strutting nu-funk blend!

Winter Wonderland

FATHER CHRISTMAS AND HIS HEAVENLY HOT ROD
by Brent Schön AI

Father Christmas and His Heavenly Hot Rod is a bold and joyful reimagining of the Christmas myth—where tradition meets imagination, and the spirit of the season rides in style.

In this musical fantasy, Father Christmas doesn’t arrive only by sleigh. He cruises through a glowing Christmas night in a heavenly hot rod, chrome shining like starlight, engine humming with warmth and wonder. Streets sparkle, skies open, and Christmas becomes a moving celebration—alive, playful, and full of heart.

The album blends festive dance grooves, retro hot-rod energy, modern holiday pop, and cinematic atmosphere, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. Bells meet basslines, carols glide over smooth rhythms, and every track carries motion—like a joyful ride through a city dressed in lights.

This is Christmas as a feeling of freedom and generosity:

Laughter echoing down decorated streets

Music rolling like headlights through the night

Joy carried forward, not rushed or forced

Father Christmas here is more than a character—he’s a symbol of timeless goodwill, creativity, and the idea that magic evolves with each generation. The heavenly hot rod represents imagination itself: polished, playful, and driven by joy.

Father Christmas and His Heavenly Hot Rod is not a story meant to be believed literally, but felt deeply—a musical reminder that Christmas magic can take any form when guided by kindness, fun, and shared celebration.

🎄🚗✨
Classic spirit.
Modern motion.
A Christmas ride to remember.

Untuk Ujian Pasangan berikutnya, para siswa mulai mengadakan rapat strategi di meja mereka. Temanya adalah “Mari kita pikirkan penemuan untuk mendukung kehidupan masa depan.”

Begitu Haruto melihat tema itu, ia menepuk ringan bahu Kanon.
“Ini adalah tema paling menarik yang pernah kita dapat, bukan?”
“Ya. Tapi tantangannya tinggi. Kali ini kita harus membuat sesuatu yang terbaik.”

“Sesuatu yang terbaik, ya… Baiklah, ayo kita lakukan!”

“Semua orang mungkin akan memilih robot atau AI. Aku ingin kita menambahkan sentuhan yang terasa seperti kita.”
“Sentuhan… Oh! Kehidupan masa depan seharusnya bukan hanya tentang kenyamanan. Itu harus menjadi sesuatu yang membuat orang lebih banyak tersenyum.”

Mata Kanon berbinar mendengar kata-kata itu.
“Senyuman… Itu dia! Sebuah penemuan yang membantu orang dan membuat mereka bahagia pasti luar biasa.”

Keduanya menghabiskan waktu sepulang sekolah dan akhir pekan untuk memikirkan ide dan mulai membuat prototipe. Ide mereka adalah “Kursi Masa Depan yang Menyebarkan Senyuman.”

“Kursi ini bergerak sesuai dengan suasana hati orang yang duduk!” Haruto menjelaskan dengan bersemangat. “Misalnya, jika kamu merasa sedih, musik lembut akan dimainkan dan sandaran kursi akan memijatmu. Sebaliknya, jika kamu penuh energi, kursi akan bergoyang ringan mengikuti irama.”

Kanon menambahkan, “Dan kursi ini juga membagikan suasana hati kepada orang-orang di sekitarnya. Layar yang dipasang di sandaran kursi menampilkan ilustrasi atau pesan yang ramah untuk mengekspresikan perasaan orang yang duduk.”

Dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan rumah tangga dan alat dari bengkel sekolah, mereka membuat prototipe. Mereka memasang layar di sandaran kursi yang menampilkan ilustrasi lucu secara acak ketika seseorang duduk, dan memasang speaker untuk memutar melodi.

Pada hari Ujian Pasangan

“Kami menciptakan Kursi Masa Depan yang Menyebarkan Senyuman!”
“Kursi ini bergerak dan memainkan suara sesuai dengan suasana hati orang yang duduk. Kursi ini juga menyampaikan perasaan itu kepada orang-orang di sekitarnya.”

Haruto duduk untuk mendemonstrasikan. Layar menampilkan pesan “Hari ini kamu hebat sekali!” bersama ilustrasi kucing lucu. Pada saat yang sama, melodi lembut dimainkan.

“Wah…!” suara kekaguman terdengar di seluruh kelas.

Kanon tersenyum dan berkata, “Kursi ini dibuat bukan hanya untuk menenangkan orang yang duduk, tetapi juga untuk membawa senyuman kepada orang-orang di sekitarnya.”

Ketika keduanya berdiri di depan kursi, kelas pun bergemuruh dengan tepuk tangan.

Di bawah langit senja, Haruto berkata, “Hei, bukankah ini adalah karya terbesar kita?”
Kanon terkekeh dan menggelengkan kepala. “Berhasil memang, tapi karya terbesar adalah sesuatu yang bisa terus kita perbarui, bukan begitu?”

“Aku mengerti… Kalau begitu, lain kali mari kita buat sesuatu yang lebih hebat bersama-sama.”

8. Haruto dan Kanon mengikuti Tes Pasangan untuk memikirkan penemuan yang akan mendukung kehidupan m
