Phoenix Wright & Apollo Justice - Matryoshka (parody)

Like an onion. Or a Matryoshka doll. Every story has many layers that must be peeled away in order to arrive at the truth.

Parody of the Vocaloid PV "Matryoshka":

...starring the new & old lawyers of the game "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney."
Apollo is cast as Gumi, and Phoenix as Miku, a decision made mostly for the purpose of lyrical delegations...
But I realized later that the characters' most noticeable colors also match up...not to mention that Gumi was more recently released while Ms. "Hatsune" represents the "first sound."

Thanks to ShadeofDespair2468 for introducing me to another wonderfully parodyable thing.

And thanks to

as I was inspired by our conversations about the epicness of Phoenix-Apollo teamwork to try to reflect that here. ^^ All the wordplay in the lyrics was probably a result of talking with her, too!

Did you know~?

-Every pose has been altered to have an index finger pointing.

-The "surprised"-looking button face is intentionally assigned to Mr. "Odoroki."

-Many lines ("HOLD IT!", "just play the CHORDS!") are nearly identical to the translation of the original Japanese -- just coincidentally appropriate!

-...Lots more pointless details I'd love to point out, but dunno whether they're too obvious to mention. If you mention something particular you noticed/liked, I'll be so happy. That's my favorite kind of comment. ^^

...NEW RECORD! 791 FRAMES! (Am I getting better at disguising the fact that I use such lame software? Paint.NET & Windows Movie Maker as always!)

These lyrics ARE timed to be singable, but...I tried several times, and my singing just didn't mesh with the PV. I can't sound like a Vocaloid, nor like Phoenix or Apollo, and it just sounded bad. I felt like it'd detract more than anything else. No one seemed to mind subs on CONVICTOR VON KARMA!, and since this PV is inherently subtitled, I hope no one minds again.

(1, 2, 3, 4)

You've been thinking much too hard here today
Maybe there's a clue there, but, really, who can say?
Surely, you can find a trick, find a way
Find the hard-hitting, case-breaking CONTRADICTION!

What could these fishy TESTIMONIES mean?
They just don't agree with EVIDENCE from the scene
I've gotta say it, show 'em, tell 'em what I've found
Something that just might completely TURN THIS CASE AROUND

Ah! Feeling TENSE again
Something strange is happening, but what should I do?
Ah! Feeling FINE again
Got to SEE this THROUGH!

(So, well, um...) Hey! "OBJECTION!" Do what you do best!
Believing? Perceiving? This is the big test
Once I get this feeling, what next?
Can't you give me just a hint about the rest?

Loud and clear, these CHORDS will play more!
REVEAL what's REAL: that's what you're here for
JUSTICE still has yet to be done
Hurry, peel away the layers one by one...

Slamming desks, pointing left and pointing right
Childish? Yet effective in this kind of fight
One way or another, I'll make myself heard
Every client that I meet can trust my every word

You and me, we wanna get a NOT GUILTY
NOT GUILTY, n-n-NOT GUILTY
Maybe we can also catch the REAL CROOK, see?
That's the way we work; it's simple as 1, 2, 3!

Ah! Been a WHILE, yeah
Time to pick up where I left off way back when
Ah! It's a TRIAL, yeah
Just keep TRYING then

(Er, well, uh...) Hey! "OBJECTION!" Say, is that your best?
Believing? Deceiving? Can you pass that test?
Once I get this feeling, what next?
Are the skills I have enough to do the rest?

Let the situation shape me
I'll watch ya! I've GOTCHA! Won't let it escape me
HOLD IT! I'm saying, HOLD IT! HOLD IT!
Every second PRESSING forward just a little bit...

You and me, we wanna get a NOT GUILTY
NOT GUILTY, n-n-NOT GUILTY
Maybe we can also catch the REAL CROOK, see?
That's the way we work, so just TAKE THAT! 1, 2, 3!

(Right? Right?) Till my voice is strained
(Right? Right?) Till all hope is drained
(Right? Wright?) It can be explained
By one hard-hitting, case-breaking CONTRADICTION!

(...Hey, hey, hey...) Hey! "OBJECTION!" That's what I do best!
Believing! PERCEIVING! Just play the CHORDS, yes!
Once I get this feeling, what next?
Somehow, you and I will figure out the rest!

Loud and clear, OBJECT to every claim
BLUFFING and TOUGHING it out is the real game
TRUTH resides somewhere in the depths
Peel away the layers till no LIES are left!

P.S. ~ For the "citations," I'd planned to cite from either the Wiki page for "contradiction" (Japanese/Chinese versions even discuss the "halberd & shield" legend alluded to in RftA~)...or Court-Records.net (the one-stop info resource rather like the AA fandom's own "Wikipedia").
In the end, though, I decided to keep things in-universe, using evidence & profiles straight from the AJ script: http://gamefaqs.com/ds/930506-apollo-justice-ace-attorney/faqs/53565
