I'll be honest, Sengoku here is... a nice change of pace! She's a bit shy, content to remain in the background, but compared to these other three it's a godsend. With so much fixation on death, and the end... Having a normal girl around to change the subject when it gets too deep is very nice. Still, I don't know how much help she'd be in pushing back the Shattered... The Zeta Protocol has certainly been a mixed bag so far. Twelve more, though. Who knows, maybe I'll find the perfect person for the job? 

I sure hope I do. We don't have forever.

Every journey's got to start with a step, and Sengoku Nadeko is here to take her first! Though she's something of a romantic, it seems something may be hidden under the surface for her... not that she'd say much about it. This shy high school student represents all things Studio Shaft, as well as... snakes and ghosts? How peculiar! Most interestingly, she's got quite a knack for the Soundclown style... Though she hides plenty of mysteries, she's sincerely ready to go!

How did these two unlike folk come together for this tournament? How did ENA escape the Great Runas? Where even 𝘪𝘴 the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.? Will ENA and G-Man be unable to answer the unraveler's questionnaire, or has Brian bit off more than he could chew against the dancing new wave enthusiasts? In the end, it all comes down to you.

[notice: this project is cancelled.]

Welcome to Second Heaven. Infectious is a mashup/arrangement tournament by Spark Records, inspired by projects such as King For Another Day and Mashup Week, with a heavy emphasis on a dark storyline. This project is best enjoyed on YouTube, but we will be uploading tracks here as well.

If you are interested in the storyline as it develops, please join our Discord as well. Both are found in the links section.

Please note that Infectious contains potentially triggering themes, such as disease, civil unrest, death, blood and gore (gore will not be visualized, only mentioned if it comes up), and more. We understand that this isn't for everyone, and we would like to ask that you know your limits. If you are not comfortable with any of these, it may be in your best interest to not follow this tournament for your own comfort.

Thank you.
