The Moment of Truth was a short-lived American game show where contestants are tasked with answering a series of 21 increasingly personal and embarrassing questions in order to receive a big cash prize.

Prior to the show, players are given a polygraph exam and asked 100 questions (many of which are asked again in front of the studio audience during taping). And without them knowing the results of the polygraph, they are asked 21 of those same questions again on the program, each becoming progressively more personal in nature.

If the contestant answers according to the polygraph results, they move on to the next question. However, if a contestant lies (as determined by the polygraph) or simply refuses to answer a question after it has been asked, their game is over. If a false answer given before the $25,000 tier of questions, the player leave with nothing. After the $25,000 level, if a false answer is given, the contestant leaves with a guaranteed $25,000. For each tier of questions answered correctly, the contestant wins that corresponding amount of money.

A contestant can stop at any time before any question is asked and collect their money won, but once they hear a question, they must answer it, or else they lose the game. Answering all 21 questions truthfully, as determined by the polygraph results, wins the jackpot of $500,000.

More information about the gameplay can be found on the Wikipedia page, but that's a basic, paraphrased summary of the nature of the game.

Greetings, people of the Danganronpa subreddit! Particular Being 269 back again, continuing with my weekly series where we analyze the possible (or sometimes confirmed) musical tastes of each character in the Danganronpa franchise.

Up next today… is a character whose always been one of my personal favorites to talk about (especially regarding this topic), and what a coincidence that she also happens to fall right on my birthday, LOL. Anyway, today we’ll be taking a look at the optimistic, outgoing and kind pianist with a strong motivation (maybe a little too much so) for ending the killing game, and a more lighthearted side too... Kaede Akamatsu.

Kaede is a character whose musical taste I've talked about numerous times over. And it's always such a fun area to touch on because Kaede's biggest motivation for performing is not because she thinks that classical is the best style or that piano is the best instrument. It's to put smiles on people's faces. That alone opens the door for many possibilities as to how her musical interests or open-mindedness would branch out and expand. Heck, she's even expressed interest in tackling various other styles in many interactions both in V3, and in side games, even with classical being her main focus. But even with that classical focus, she did express concern that her identity was becoming too narrow (“Without piano, I’d have nothing left!"), and even worries that classical could feel too intimidating to many people. This would also be a good explanation as to why things like pop music, game OSTs, film scoring, and more gave her so much interest and curiosity.

Speaking of curiosity, that trait plays a huge part here too. Kaede, throughout all of V3, she's always interested in asking questions and learning about people to understand them more. And I think she'd naturally approach all sorts of musical styles the exact same way. She has a clear wish to do whatever it takes for her to make as many people smile as she can, and proves she's anything but a purist. If someone else were to try and get her into another artist or style that falls outside of her typical wheelhouse or comfort zone, I'd imagine instead of expressing disinterest, she'd ask questions and express an interest in learning more. Especially when it comes to what about specific songs, artists, and genres resonate with different people. I'd especially imagine her becoming interested about learning about various musical cultures and styles around the world too, fascinated with the endless amounts of ways people can express all sorts of emotion and bring together a sense of community... with smiles galore.

While classical would always remain the musical language she speaks most fluently, as well as the one that shaped her technique and identity, with her discovering how impossibly wide the musical horizon really is, Kaede I feel like would become excited at every new opportunity she gets to explore something new. After all, her end quote from Danganronpa S sums it up quite well... "Music has endless potential. And I must keep pushing myself to reach it."

But anyway, I now pass things over to you guys. If you guys have any ideas of your own as to what sort of other possible musical preferences this legend behind the keys might have, feel free to let me know down in those comments below! Up next, I'll be going down the line alphabetically with this cast (for REAL this time). I know I hinted at this character in my last post, but I decided to go with his other spelling for this occasion, and so the polite, but serious AI-equipped teenager who has trouble with human social interaction and stands up for the rights of robots everywhere is finally now going to be coming up next Sunday... so stay tuned for that!

And with all that being said, let loose down in the comment section and have a good rest of your day/night!

Greetings, people of the Danganronpa subreddit! Particular Being 269 back again, continuing with my new weekly series where we analyze the possible (or sometimes confirmed) musical tastes of each character in the Danganronpa franchise.

Apologies for being absent last week, due to me being on vacation. But up next today, we're gonna continue down the list for the V3 by taking a look at the gentle giant Tarzan boy and bug lover who lacks socially but makes it his goal to become the best guy he can be... Gonta Gokuhara.

Given his incredibly pure-hearted and lovable demeanor, I feel like Gonta would gravitate towards songs that carry a sentimental or uplifting message, or else just exude a very bubbly and innocent aura. Any tune that would warm his heart with optimism, friendliness, and heartfelt emotion, he's in. And given his nature-loving side, there would also be many tunes in the folk/soft rock or even lightweight pop side that paint these sort of serene pictures that I can definitely imagine him gravitating to as well. In addition of course, any song that focuses on becoming a better person is a gimme, given that's always been his biggest goal of all. And there are several tunes in that department that can easily fit the bill too. One more aspect I'll factor in in which I can see helping Gonta value specific songs even more is if someone recommends them to him, and would thus lead Gonta to develop a special kind of emotional attachment to them. To me, he'd be less about genre and more about wholesomeness. I think that would sum up his musical preferences in a nutshell.

So on that note, I now pass things over to you guys. If you guys have any ideas of your own as to what sort of other possible musical preferences this lovable gentleman might have, feel free to let me know down in those comments below! Up next, I'll be going down the line alphabetically with this cast, with the small magical girl who firmly believes in her tricks being real magic and becomes more dedicated and emotional over the course of time coming up next... so stay tuned for that!

And with all that being said, let loose down in the comment section and have a good rest of your day/night!

This was a type of simplistic expression I noticed get used very frequently in a lot of classic anime shows from the 80s to around the early 2000s. Where a character reacts with their mouth forming this tiny, centered ‘o’-shape along with large, readable eyes and mostly minimal facial detail.

As my collage pictured here shows, I've noticed shows like Sailor Moon, the original Pretty Cure, Wedding Peach, Pastel Yumi, and several others have it show up a lot. It seems to be more commonly used in a lot of classic, hand-drawn cel animated shows, and often used less frequently in modern series that included more detailed and nuanced facial design, and thus likely limited the subconscious need to have characters emote in a much simpler fashion.

My question is: outside of the shows pictured here, are there any other anime series you remember frequently using this kind of facial expression language? And if so, feel free to let me know in the comments down below.

Thanks for reading, and have a nice rest of your day.

Hey, LDA sub! Particular Being 269 here. Back with another classic game show tier list idea, and this time for another show that’s had many different iterations since the early ‘50s, and that’s To Tell the Truth.

For those who aren’t familiar, To Tell the Truth is a game show that consists of three people who each claim to be the same person, but only one is telling the truth, and the other two are posing as fakes. The host introduces the person in question who typically has some sort of unusual occupation, achievement, or life story. The panel (consisting of four celebrities) has to figure out who the real person is as the fakers try to bluff their way through various questions and interrogations.

After the questioning process is done, the host then asks, “Will the real [person’s name] please stand up?” At that moment, the real person stands while the impostors usually grin, clap, or collapse into laughter after surviving interrogation for several minutes.

Many modern versions (most notably the 2016 revival) especially leaned hard into comedy and celebrity banter, while the classic show took a more sophisticated approach. It’s a game all about human psychology and reading people, which leaves tons of room for priceless moments galore.

And I think that pretty much covers everything. Please feel free to let me know what ideas you have in mind regarding a potential LDA x To Tell the Truth crossover in the comments down below, and until then, take care, and have a nice rest of your day!
