Alright, with apologies to @Benkyo once again, he’s up for Team A!

[EDIT] Asked in PM, worth putting here:

Discussing the other side’s keywords (i.e. what you think one of the 4 secret words are, explicitly) tends to be one of the classic things teams go out of their way to whisper, so I’m happy for that to stay in private.

OK, here are Team A’s clues for round 3:

File
Tweet
Gain

Gain may be like the level of gain on an amp and connect to Concertina (#4) in that way.

File could be a line like in a theme park, or something straight like a nail file. Leaning towards the former.

Could Tweet have something to do with the Great Firewall, i.e. match with Western Devils?

I was thinking about why yashima choose the word concertina over accordion which in my ignorant view is more or less the same thing. So either it has to do with it’s hexagonal shape or it’s just a red herring. If it’s the former, the keyword might be something like ‘six pack’ which would fit benkyo’s ‘gain’.

Concertina wasn’t me. Just saying.

You’re right of course. That was @mistercrayon’s clue.

Western Devil who tweets could be a president….

It might also just be trying to go with something more obscure than accordion.

So are we feeling 2-3-4?

Yes we are

(Random number generator says 1-4-3 by the way… not saying we should go with that but just putting that here in case it happens to be right and we can hang our heads and say “Next time we’ll listen to you, RNG!”)
