The Zipper Incident Saga

 * 2021 Instalment (As recounted by Roi and Aza on stream): After the 1st VirtuaReal Music MIXUP!!, the performing livers left through the emergency exit stairway. Roi was walking at the front. When he looked back, he noticed Kouichi’s zipper was down. The reason for this may have been a combination of the trousers being old, having moved around a lot and the livers having to change quickly. Roi zipped it up for him, which was witnessed by a very shocked Aza, who had been rubbing Kouichi's belly a moment earlier.
 * 2022 Instalment (As recounted by Roi and Mayumi on stream): After the Zipper Incident from last year became a popular VR meme, Kouichi was determined to prevent the same thing happening again at the 2nd VirtuaReal Music MIXUP!! by wearing a pair of particularly sturdy trousers. In trying to break the ice at dinner, Roi jokingly began to ask Kouichi about his zipper, but before he finished speaking, caught sight of Kouichi's unzipped trousers. Afraid to put Kouichi on the spot, Roi stopped himself and instead pointed it out to Aza next to him. As Aza didn't notice, Roi went and zipped it up. Aza then pulled it back down, then Roi zipped it up, then Aza pulled it down. This repeated and was witnessed by Mayumi from across the table, who looked like she didn't feel too good. However, she was drinking soup and even though she was looking, she had been spacing out and wasn't paying close attention.
