bjr evryoen, welcom 2 another niterviw wth meoth. tday im excitd, bcz we are intrvwwing robots, liek me!1!!111!

Meowth

…yeah, dear host, don’t get too excited; they’re only two-thirds robots after all. Because indeed, our interview of the day is with the world-famous Daft Punk, alongside their equally world-famous buddy Pharrell Williams! They will not only represent their own songs, but many other sources, including the whole French Touch genre! First of all, let me tell you I am very happy to see you in this tournament, it is an honour for us.

Pharrell Williams

Well, you’re in luck, because I’m happy as well!

Thomas Bangalter

Yeah, we’re happy to be Together again in this tournament, Pharrell. It’s been a while!

Meowth

Quite the reunion there, I see! Now, here’s my first question: why did you decide to enter the King for Another Day Tournament?

Thomas Bangalter

The answer is simple: to try new things out! Every project we make is sounding different from the ones we did before. We’re always searching for opportunities to go towards new directions.

Meowth

But you’re representing French House… That could mean you wanted to go back to your roots or to play it safe, right?

Thomas Bangalter

I understand why one could think that. But recontextualizing our music is still experimentation and risk-taking in a sense, especially for us. It’s always weird to hear your music beyond your vision and within new realms. But we’re used to remixing our tracks quite a bit, and that’s what we are planning to do if we win the tournament. And we think it will be fun!

Meowth

It makes sense. If I can ask a question to the yellow one: what do you think about the other contestants?

Meowth

Huh? Something wrong?

Thomas Bangalter

Il te demande ce que tu penses de nos adversaires.

Thomas Bangalter

He’s thinking the same as me. We do not know a lot of them, to be honest. We can recognize a few faces: our first opponent Will Smith, Pitbull, Adam Levine, Jack Black, Eminem…

Thomas Bangalter

…who for some reason wears a Spanish outfit now. That makes us confused. I’m also wondering about this alien following Mr. Smith everywhere…

Meowth

Did you notice there were a few robots running, though?

Thomas Bangalter

Yeah, but to be fair, I’m mostly interested at that guy who seems to have resurrected Michael. How the heck did he do that?

Thomas Bangalter

Yeah, Guy-Man was intrigued by the TV girl. I guess she is reminding him of our mid-2000s days.

Meowth

I see, interesting answers! Well, how about we ask some questions for you, Pharrell! Why did you join the tournament alongside Daft Punk?

Pharrell Williams

Some nerds in my studio were talking about this SiIvaGunner guy, never heard of em. They told me he was in the middle of his fourth season. I didn’t exactly knew what that meant, but when I heard “fourth”, I knew it was my destiny to join his tournament.

Meowth

Huh? What is it about the number 4 which is so special to you?

Pharrell Williams

Well, listen to any of my songs, you’ll get it! But anyway, when my robotic friends here got the invite for this tournament, I asked if I could collab with them on this event. Before there even was a gust of wind, they accepted, and I’m very grateful for that!

Pharrell Williams

Yup, collab artists always go together!

Meowth

And are there any contestants you’re looking forward to facing, Pharrell?

Pharrell Williams

Hmm, if I’m being honest, I’d like to face Mr. Krabs. I am a huge fan of Spongebob, so coming face to face with the Eugene Krabs would be a dream for me.

Meowth

Interesting! So, ne-

Unregistered HyperCam 2

Pharrell Williams

Er, excuse me?

Meowth

Uhh, Hypercam what are you talking abo- you know what, nevermind. Here’s my last question: do you think you will get lucky and win this tournament?

Thomas Bangalter

Lucky? I hope not ! We’ve done our homework on our tracks, so I hope we’ll earn this victory! We guarantee you our takeover won’t disappoint. Well, it might at first, but then everyone will talk about it in 20 years.

Pharrell Williams

Hah, like a typical Daft Punk album! Except this time, the Skateboard P will be there too!

Meowth

I like that attitude! Robots, human, thank you for your time and good luck in the tournament!
