OKAY SRSBZNS SPOILERS THIS TIME

For reals. And some Wild Solitary Guessing. I'm not entirely sure where one would engage in Wild Mass Guessing for TWEWY, but then again I haven't looked yet.

Starting... now.
Okayso. Starting with the evidence like a proper Gyakutard, the fact that the Producer is the only Angel whose vibes the Composer can catch. Acting on the basic assumption that higher vibes = more powerful, that makes him... one wimpy Angel. (And you see why one of my life goals has become to never seriously anger an Angel. *whimper*) Either the Producer is the wimpiest Angel around (where "around" could be a very, very relative term; especially going by the particular WSG I'm about to introduce when I stop interrupting myself, there could very well be one Producer for each divided area of the UG), or his vibe is intentionally low due to his abnormal amount of involvement in the RG/UG. (Note of course that it's implied Hanekoma's interaction on the lower planes during TWEWY month is beyond normalcy, but then again Josh allegedly frequents WildKat... maybe.) (I'm getting to the theory, I swear.)
I tend to go with the theory that his vibe is just specialized. Until right about... now-ish.

Now I'm thinking that possibly a Producer is a deposed Composer.

Things this would explain:
-->The -masu form. If Josh kicked Hanekoma's butt at some point in the past, well, it would make sense that Josh > Hanekoma. (Whether he gained a power boost upon becoming an Angel is not even slightly addressed, though the Human-->Reaper +lifespan +power suggests that it's possible.) (Though I have not abandoned my "Josh's Composerness was Hanekoma's idea even before it was Josh's" theory. This just makes the theory... considerably odder. But I wouldn't put it past the Magnificent Bastard.) (...Crap, now I want to start working on that fic again.)
-->How Composer can be part of the evolution cycle. That a Composer does not die/is not erased when defeated appears to be... somewhat solidly confirmed, as it's included in the evolutionary cycle in SR7. In fact it's pretty logical: got a new Angel? He/she gets a low-class (again, assuming vibes = power) job in territory he/she is already intimately familiar with.
-->Familiar with... and affectionate towards. Could explain Hanekoma's loyalty to Shibuya over his loyalty to Josh...

Oddly enough, this theory... I entertained this theory for a minute a few days ago, acknowledged the possibility, but decided to discard it a few minutes later in preference of the "specialized vibes" theory. So why am I back to this theory?
Uh, because of Another Day.
I know what? It's so impossible to figure out anything above RG in Tin Pin Land. Well, obviously Pink is not a RG-er; considering his comfortability with the Room of Reckoning, it's possibly, probably, most likely safe to assume he's Composer there as well. The assumption that Hanekoma's Producer there would seem to follow naturally, especially considering that he, unlike everyone else in TPL, is basically the same person in TPL as he is in normal!Shibuya, and that CAT's role is unchanged. (I find it particularly revealing that TP!Neku is so much happier... pretty clearly a result of more frequent exposure to Hanekoma. Phew.) Also that he is not around so often.
But um... that Wizard figure. Called from this moment 245 because both his pin and his Gatito item are numbers 245, so I assume it refers to his name in some way. I do not honestly care what his name is because as we all know, TWEWY world was not created, it simply IS. :D Also I can't seem to force 245 into anything that actually resembles a name, So Yeah.

When I actually managed to properly run into 245, my basically non-existent appreciation for TPL fell even further because I went into a tizzy trying to figure out if he was the capital-P Producer or they were just saying that (a) to pick on poor stupid puny humans like me who are trying to figure out upper-plane stuff for TWO worlds and/or (b) because "producer" is 245's real-life role. But Pink does seem terribly familiar with him, and now I'm realizing that if he is capital-P Producer and if Producer = deposed Composer... well that makes some things work out quite nicely.
-->My theory that TPL is a Tin Pin Land because some former Composer was very, very obsessed with the hellspawn game. Well, if the creator of the game was previously Composer... yeah I think that counts.
-->I've been theorizing that TPL!Hanekoma is particularly busy recently because Pink just became Composer there and he, as Producer, was helping him get settled and spending more of his time in the UG than in the RG. Umm to back up that Pink just became Composer
----->The fact that he's still quite involved in RG matters, particularly Tin Pin Weekly or whatever.
------>Relatedly, the fact that he's the middle-school columnist implies that his...... hey wait, I was wondering if they were middle school or high school earlier. Guess there's an in-game answer to that, stupid AD. Anyway, it implies that his apparent age matches his real age.

Anyway... Due to the apparent identicalness of TP!Hanekoma to Randomlyattacking!Hanekoma, it's likely that his role is or was identical in both worlds. So, with this new theory, the reason he's been busier lately? He has just evolved further--with 245 as the new Producer, he's no longer needed in that job. Now his vibes are even more attuned to the Higher Plane rather than the UG/RG, he's got a job on the Higher Plane... he's moved on.

Speaking of moving on--this would explain why RA!Hanekoma worries that TP!Hanekoma would turn him in. TP!Hanekoma would be closer to the other Angels than to Shibuya, suggesting that perhaps that's where his loyalties lie.

So what'm I saying?
In both words, Hanekoma was once Composer. However, the split--or a split, rather, because the two worlds don't really seem very parallel at all--occurred with his successor: in the world of the main story arc, he was eventually defeated by Joshua, most likely within two years ago (if one assumes that the downturn Uzuki noticed during her two years as a Reaper is because of Josh's administration), whereas in TPL he was defeated by 245, who in turn was later, and I think pretty recently, defeated by Josh-aka-Pink.
That's basically it.

Why does this matter?
IT TOTALLY DOESN'T.
It so completely doesn't matter a smidge to the real world. I just think about these things when I should be doing homework.

EDIT: Waitasec. It's not only possible, it's likely. How else would his mural have gotten in the Trail of the... ...whichever. Bygone? I think that's Bygone. I mean he can't reveal that he's special to anyone but the Composer, so what would a human be doing past the Rubicon?
...Holy crap, I don't think I'm just guessing, I think I have genuinely figured something out.

NEW INFORMATION JOYRUSH! :D
omg I'm happy. -dances-

Mostly this is so Sakeko-chan can watch Yoshu being hyperactive.

Also I feel like writing but I don't know what to write and a certain FACT OF LIFE is keeping me from being happy and healthy-feeling though of course I am entirely healthy. Looking forward to riding a plane in THIS shape. Why don't I keep CAPITALIZING random WORDS in FRUSTRATION so that I SOUND like I'm on PMS too.
But anywayyyyyy
Japanese fanart/fancomics = discovering lots about speaking styles, woooooo. Yoshua (aka Joshua, aka sometimes I drop the "a" entirely and just call him Yoshu, as in the title) calls Kitaniji "Megumi-kun." Kun! -jaw hangs open- Weiiiiird.
And Hanekoma DOES say "ore" for "me" which means "ore no heddofoon" is as amazing in Japanese as well! asdfhgfdssdfgh srsly I like that.

....for ten points

This pin is part of the trade for both the WEWY Promo Coat and the "D+B" pin. Unbranded, it is the Ultimate drop of Reaper Beat and the Hard drop of both Draco Cantus and Panthera Cantus. One scan suggests that it, or something that shares its name, makes up 96% of the universe. For ten points, name this pin which can be traded for a Scarletite at Shibu-Q Heads and is inlaid with purple gemstones.
Answer: Dark Matter (No. 261)

For ten points each, given the color, name the character associated with that color in the "Another Day" bonus chapter.
[10] Pink
Answer: Joshua Kiryu (Yoshiya Kiryu)
[10] Yellow
Answer: Beat (Daisukenojo Bito)
[10] Pain
Answer: [spoiler goes here] (Grudgingly accept Pain is not a color and equivalents)

.......
I have this sudden urge to write an entire Quiz Bowl packet based on TWEWY.
This sudden urge originates 75% from the fact that I really do have to finish this essay, now, and 25% from the fact that at practice, a question mentioned a song called "Game Over," though I'm pretty sure the "Game Over" they were referring to does not mention 2ch.
