@mayoigotokurousagi TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER INSPIRED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. I mean. Maybe there's another you're into. Idk. I like Jiro. He's so. . .blunt. I'm so curious about him, I really really cannot wait until we get the Mortkranken chapter.

also, uh, brief content warning for a mention of assisted suicide? It's under the 'Default' lines, if you feel the need to avoid that.

Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)

"Oh, there you are. I was about to go give you a health check. This saves time and effort." ああ、そこにいたんですか。今からあなたの健診に行こうと思ってたんです。手間が省けました

You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)

"Are those letters piling up over there? It's interesting that doesn't bother you. Not that my opinion is relevant." そこに溜まってるのは手紙ですか？よく気になりませんね。まあ、俺には関係ありませんけど

Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)

"I don't like unproductive discussions. Like this one." 非生産的な議論は嫌いですね。例えば、今のような会話です

"They said they wanted to die, so I prescribed them what they needed. I don't see the point of discussing ethics after the fact." あちらさんが死にたいと言うので、必要な薬を処方したまでです。今更倫理を持ち出されても、困りますよ

Hey. Buddy. Jiro. That's fuckin' dark dude. This is why you don't joke about wanting to kill yourself. Someone will take it seriously. Jiro will just hand you cyanide pills, a bottle of water, and direct you to a hospital bed to die in. Like jesus christ.

"I save lives that can be saved. It's part of my job to decide the order of priority though." 救える命は救いますよ。まあ、そこに優先順位をつけるのがこちらの仕事なので

"part of my job is to decide if your life is worth saving" IS ALSO A VERY DARK THING TO SAY. I love that his default lines are all very dark and callous. It kind of drives home a dichotomy between how he feels about just anybody and how he feels about you. I also like that he's just. . .kind of dark and gloomy and like ASPECTS OF HIM ARE VERY UNPALATABLE. Like I'm sure there are a lot of people who see those lines and think "that's gross why would anyone like him he's the worst" and THAT'S A GOOD KIND OF CHARACTER TO HAVE ESPECIALLY AS A LOVE INTEREST okay moving on

"One of our patients is thrashing around again? That's inconvenient. I'll administer a shot." また患者が暴れてるんですか？はあ……面倒くさいですね。１本打っておきますよ

jiro stabbing you with a sedative filled needle like 'stop moving. you are annoying.'

"You should— Hurk... Hm, I let my guard down. I better go back to Mo— Orgh... Hurk...!" あなた、そろそろ…… うっ……まずいな、完全に油断してました。早く帰っえ、うっ……おえっ……

Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)

"Good morning. I'm going to take your pulse, so could you sit down?" おはようございます。脈拍測るんで、座ってもらえます？

Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)

"I was in a prolonged coma, so I haven't fully recovered yet. It's been a long time since I ate anything." 俺、長いこと昏睡状態だったんで、まだ本調子じゃないんですよ。飯なんて、しばらく食ってませんし

i wonder when he woke up. it must have been a few months ago at most.

Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"What do you want? I'm conducting an incubation experiment. Please wait till I'm finished." なんですか？　今、培養実験中なので。話なら後にしてください

Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)

"I'm about to receive my medication. It should take approximately one hour. Are you going to wait for me?" ああ、今から投薬の時間なんです。多分１時間くらいかかると思いますけど、待ちますか？

Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)

"I attend classes every day since Yuri does, but sometimes they mark me as absent. I'm supposed to reply when they say my name? I didn't know that." 佑理に付き合って毎日授業に出てるんですけど、時々欠席扱いになってて。返事が必要？　知らなかったな

"yeah you're supposed to let them know you're there." "i am one of the largest people in the room at any given time. that seems unnecessary." also it's cute that he only goes to class because Yuri does, but also he doesn't learn anything from it since he studied it all independently lol

Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"The blood? I believe one of the wounds on my stomach tore. I'll have to get Yuri to suture it." ああ、この血ですか？　さっきから腹の傷が開いてるみたいなんです。佑理に縫ってもらわないとな

Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)

"What's the purpose of educational facilities like this? You can learn everything you need through self-study." こういった教育施設って、なんのためにあるんでしょうね？　勉強なら自分ですればいいだけですし

Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Who is that noisy blond person? He runs away whenever he sees me. That's rude, isn't it?" 時々見かける、うるさい黄色の人は何者なんです？　俺の顔を見るといつも逃げるんです。失礼ですよね？

i love the 'isn't it?' like he doesn't know normal social convention but he's pretty sure you're not supposed to run from people like that.

Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)

"You don't have to mind me. Go ahead and eat. Even in childhood I never really had an attachment to food, clothing, or shelter." 俺のことは気にせず、飯食ってください。元々、ガキの頃から衣食住にあまり執着がないので

hey jiro that's uh that's kinda fucking depressing you good?

Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Yuri's holed up in the lab, so I'm going out. If he comes looking for me, tell him I went to bed." 佑理が研究室に籠ってるので、今のうちに出かけてきます。もし俺を探してたら、寝たと言ってください

Wouldn't Yuri just check your bed and not find you there though??? Also when will you sleep???? like i know he doesn't realize a week of allnighters isn't normal but jfc

Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)

"Your face looks terrible. Come over here and inhale this. They're mild smelling salts. They'll wake you up." あなた、ひどい顔ですね。ちょっとこっち来て、これ嗅いでください。軽い気付け薬です。目が覚めますよ

Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Hello. I'm here to pick up Yuri. Hm, that's strange. I thought he would be here." こんにちは。佑理を迎えに来ました。 ……あれ？ここにいると思ったんですけど

. . .i wonder why he thought yuri would be with you? how often does he lose track of where yuri is? and why pick him up wouldn't yuri be able to get home himself? unless he figures yuri fell asleep somewhere lmao

Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"I can just manage to ingest water, so I brew herbal tea as an indulgence. Would you like some too?" 辛うじて水分なら取れるので、嗜好品としてハーブティーを淹れるんですよ。あなたも飲みます？

Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)

"Yuri wouldn't get up, so I was about to give up on getting my morning medication. He got up after the ninth time he used the snooze button though." 佑理がなかなか起きないので、朝は投薬を諦めようかと思いましたよ。９回目のスヌーズで起きましたけど

Yuri and Jiro, like Rui and Haru, need healthy sleep schedules please.

Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)

"What's this? A rice ball? I suppose I might be able to eat some of it." なんですか？　これ。おにぎり？　まあ、少しくらいなら食べれるかもしれませんが……

can't you only eat fluids. . .are you gonna throw that up later. . . .

Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)

"You already had tea at Frostheim? The tea I make tastes better though, so please drink it anyway." フロストハイムで紅茶を飲んできたんですか？　まあ、俺の方が美味く淹れられますから、飲んでください

lmao the mortkranken boys really do not appear to have a great opinion of frostheimers!!! "you had tea at--pfffff nah their tea sucks ass drink mine instead."

Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)

"I enjoy being alone. The noise doesn't really bother me when I'm reading though. Can I go now?" ひとりの時間は好きですよ。まあ、本を読んでいる時は、周囲の喧噪も気になりません。もういいですか？

Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)

"What am I doing? I'm making confections. I'm used to making precise measurements when preparing medications, and it's quite similar to that." 今ですか？　製菓をしてるんです。計量は薬の調合で慣れてるので、まあ、似たようなものです

jiro makes cupcakes and candies and stuff. . .he can't even enjoy them though. . . . .

Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)

"See you tomorrow. ...What? You're the one who told me I should say that while smiling." また明日。 ……なんですか？こう言って笑えばいいと、あなたが言ってたんじゃないですか

i love lines where it's like 'you told me to do this so now i'm doing it.' especially when the pc is shocked when they actually do it lolol

Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)

"We're doing a complete check up today, so please change into these. ... Do you need me to help you undress?" 今日は精密検査なので、この検査着に着替えてください。 ………… 脱げないなら、脱がしましょうか？

strip faster bitch

Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)

"You want to know why I started studying anomalous infectious diseases? I don't know. I just became knowledgeable about them at some point and kept going." なぜ怪異伝染病の研究を始めたか？さあ、気がついたら詳しくなってたので。何となく続けてるだけです

Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"My wounds often tear so I've told Yuri deep dermal suturing would be more effective than simple interrupted, but he won't listen to me." よく傷口が開くんで、結節縫合ではなく真皮縫合の方がいいと言ってるのに、佑理が聞かないんですよね

I get the feeling Yuri doesn't listen to most people. . . .

Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Yuri's combat skills are poor, so I have to protect him. If he dies, there won't be anyone left who can treat me." 佑理は戦闘が下手なので、俺が守るしかないんです。あの人が死ぬと、俺を治せる人がいなくなるんですよ

"if he dies i die so i'm just kinda protecting him because i have to." kind of an oof lmao

Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)

"It's been a long time since I had a family, so I don't know what you're supposed to do in these situations. Could you teach me?" 俺には長いこと家族がいないので、こういう時、どうすればいいかわからないんです。教えてくれません？

GET FAM-ZONED HAHA aaaaAAAAAA HE SEES YOU AS FAMILY AND HE WANTS TO TREAT YOU THE WAY HE'S SUPPOSED TO TREAT FAMILY. . . . . . ;0; just be yourself jiro we love you as you are, dark and morbid and a little distant but actually quite sweet--

Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)

"There's a high probability that your curse is related to my field of research. It's a problem for me if you die." あなたの呪いは、俺の研究分野に関係している可能性が高い。あなたを死なせるわけにはいかないんですよ

the bluntness and distance in this one is so perfect for Jiro haha ESPECIALLY AFTER THE "I WANT TO TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY" ONE BEFORE IT. . .he went from being kind of sweet to being like "if you die it'll be a problem." and not even in a tsundere way just 'it matters to me if you die for academic purposes.

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"I'm going to see some flowers on Yuri's orders. Do you want to come? I'll be harvesting mandrakes." 今から佑理の指示で花を見に行くんです。あなたも一緒に行きますか？マンドラゴラの採取ですが

"Yuri told me to take a break so I'm gonna go work near some flowers i guess."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Cases of the infectious disease gastroenteritis explode at this time of year. It's boring prescribing the same thing all the time." この時��は感染症の胃腸炎が爆発的に増えるんですよ。次から次へと、同じ処方ばかりで飽きました

attention darkwick students: please catch more interesting illnesses. thank you -jiro

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Ha ha ha ha! I observed Yuri fighting the urge to fall asleep during class today. Would you like to see the photos?" はははは！今日は授業中、ずっと眠気と戦っている佑理を観察してたんですよ。この写真、見ますか？

i really wish it were during the hours this one can play because i wanna record it lolol Jiro smiling and laughing because Yuri's trying not to fall asleep is so precious. Tiny little humanization for our monster boy.

(between 8pm and 5am)

"There are rumors that pollen contains ephedrine, a central nervous system stimulant. They're false, though." 桜の花粉に、興奮を誘発するエフェドリンが含まれるという噂があるそうですね。まあ、それデマですけど

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"Good, today's temperature matches the forecast. I'll be starting a new experiment this afternoon, but the temperature regulation is difficult. It should be fun." 今日の気温は……予報通りですね。午後から新しい実験の着手をするのに、温度管理が大変で。楽しみです

temperature regulation experiments are fun! i'm glad Jiro enjoys what he does.

(between 11am and 4pm)

ああ、また手足口病の患者でした。本来子供に多い感染症なんです��、免疫がない人は可哀想ですね "It was another case of hand-foot-and-mouth disease. It's an infectious disease usually more common in children. People without immunity are unfortunate."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"A dare? Okay, I'll do it with you. I've always wanted to try screaming in fear." へえ、肝試しですか。いいですよ、付き合います。恐怖で叫ぶ経験を、一度くらいしてみたいので

"a dare" isn't really a good translation here--肝試し is a "test of courage", an activity usually done on summer evenings where you go someplace scary with your friends to overcome fear together! Or something like that. It's most often done in summer because that's when it's believed there are more like. . .supernatural occurrences? several other characters' summer lines mention more anomalies in Japan in the summer as a result of these beliefs. Either way it's cute that he's like 'oh. that sounds cool. i hope it'll make me experience fear.' I want him to scream in an exaggerated way, just SHRIEKING for the sake of it, not even because he's really that scared just "this feels like the appropriate situation for screaming :)" lmao

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Ha ha ha ha! Oh, sorry. I tried letting the stag beetles I caught for an experiment fight, and it was funnier than I expected." はははは！　ああ、すいません。採取の時に捕まえたカブトムシ同士を戦わせたら、想像以上に面白くて

i feel like that's something that comes up now and then as like. a thing young japanese boys do. which makes jiro kind of childish in a way which is super charming? it sounds to me like he didn't have much of a childhood. so i'm happy he can explore it now and have fun.

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"I don't understand why you would go somewhere without a purpose. Why would you go to a mountain if you didn't need to harvest something?" 行楽ですか？　いえ、単純に何が目的か理解できないんです。採取もせず、山を歩くんですか？

mods, show him the beauty of nature.

(between 11am and 4pm)

"I went to the botanical garden to get some ingredients and I was given these yams. Do you like candied yams?" さっき植物園に原料をもらいに行ったらサツマイモをもらったんです。スイートポテトは好きですか？

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"A lot of people in Mortkranken dislike exercise.The sporting clubs in Darkwick must be made up of people from other houses." うちの寮は、体を動かすことが嫌いな人が多いですね。学内でスポーツをしてるのも、他寮の人ですよね？

i am once again asking why i was put in fuckin frostheim--

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I read books every day, not just in the fall. I like medical journals best. I don't remember what made me start reading them." 秋に限らず、本は毎日読みますよ。特に医学の専門書は好きですね。いつからなのかは……忘れました

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"Hurk...! Phew... I'm fine... The change in temperature between indoors and outdoors this time of year causes my physical condition to deteriorate more frequently." うっ……はあ……大丈夫です……この季節は室内外の寒暖差のせいで体調を崩しやすいので……

i remember someone i followed also gags when going from a cold place to a warm one lmao. . . .

(between 11am and 4pm)

"I found an anomalous plant that can only grow in extremely low temperatures and successfully created a medication with it. It was just a coincidence though." 極低温のみ自生する怪異植物を見つけたので、試しに原薬にしてみたら上手くいきました。まあ、偶然です

'i made a medical breakthrough but it was just an accident' is the medical equivalent of 'i'm not a model'. also Yuri has a line referencing this one!

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Streptococcal infections are on the rise. They're spread through droplet and contact infection. Have you been taking precautions?" 溶��菌の感染が増えてますね。飛沫感染と接触感染が経路になります。あなた、ちゃんと予防してます？

jiro says WEAR YOUR FUCKIN' MASK.

(between 8pm and 5am)

"There are no merits to lowering your body temperature when you're not experiencing inflammation. I made some herbal tea that warms the body. Do you want some?" 炎症時以外、体を冷やすメリットはないですからね。体を温めるハーブティーを淹れたので、いかがです？

His birthday: (October 13th)

"Whose birthday? Oh, mine? I forgot. Did Yuri leak my medical records?" 誕生日？　誰のです？ああ、俺のですか、忘れてました。カルテ、佑理が漏らしたんですか？

"did yuri fuckin dox me--"

Your birthday:

"Oh, it's your birthday today, isn't it? What should I do? I suppose I'll go to your room later." ああ、あなた今日、誕生日じゃないですか。何をすればいいんですか？まあ、後でそちらの部屋に行きます

jiro no you don't have to do that you are moving so fast WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING FAMILY WAIT--

New Years: (January 1st)

"Happy New Year. Why are you looking at me like that? Even I celebrate New Years." 明けましておめでとうございます。なんですか？　その顔。正月くらい俺だって祝いますけど

Valentine's Day: (February 14th)

"What's this packet? I can't eat solids. You made it? Oh. I can probably eat some of it then." なんですか？　この包み。俺、固形物は食べれませんけど…… なんだ。あなたの手作りなら少しはいけます

bby if you can't eat it don't make yourself sick with it. . . . Actually since the PC feeding him let him eat food, maybe if it's something the PC makes he can eat it???

White Day: (March 14th)

"Here. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, something handmade for something handmade. Eat it here and tell me what you think." どうぞ。目には目を、歯には歯を、手作りには手作りをと思いまして。ここで食べて評価を教えてください

April Fool's Day: (April 1st)

"Yuri's kicking up a fuss and saying I deceived him? I don't remember doing it. It doesn't matter though." 佑理が、俺に騙されたって騒いでるんですか？　そんなことしましたっけ。まあ、どっちでもいいですけど

i wonder if he actually pulled a prank and he's just hiding it really well. . .or if Yuri is just paranoid lol Yuri's for the record:

"Hmph, did you honestly think you could fool me? I won't fall for your cheap tricks. I've already been fooled by Jiro seven times today!" ふんッ。貴様も僕を騙すつもりで？その手には乗りません。今日はすでに、次郎くんに７回騙されたのでね

Halloween: (October 31st)

"I don't know much about Halloween. I can't eat candy though, so I have to play a trick on you, right?" ハロウィン？　よく知りませんが、俺、お菓子は食べれないので。あなたに悪戯すればいいんですよね

Christmas: (December 25th)

"This tree? It's a fir tree. Yuri told me to get one, so I cut it down and carried it back here. My special artifact doesn't cut very well." この木ですか？　佑理に言われて、モミの木を切って持ってきました。俺の特質怪具、切れ味が悪いんです

Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)

"Are you dead? Oh, you're alive." ……死んでます？　ああ、なんだ。生きてたんですね

jiro poking you with a stick like 'you dead?'

(13 affinity and above)

"Oh, Yuri's calling me. It'll be annoying if I pick up, so I'll just ignore it until you're ready to go again." ……ああ、佑理から連絡です。出ると面倒なので、あなたが動けるようになるまで、無視しておきます

'yuri is the only reason i'm alive but he's gonna yell at me so i'll just wait to pick up the phone' why??? i guess he wants to go back with you if yuri's telling him to come home lol ALSO DON'T YOU THINK IGNORING YOUR PHONE RINGING WILL WORRY YURI. . . .

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"You've skipped too many appointments. It's been a long time since your last check up... I suppose I'll have to re-examine you." あなた、受診サボりすぎです。前回からかなり間が空いてるな…… まあ、今から再検査すればいいです

time to fill out your whole chart again! examination from top to bottom!

THERE WE GO. sorry that one took so long!! He's actually a bit of a goof but his no-affinity lines make him come off as extra cold and cruel. He just has to get used to you!! But I think it has a very charming contrast. AFTER THIS IS JIN! Tomorrow night maybe? it's almost midnight and i have to wake up early again and my insomnia kicked my ass last night. . . .

Hello! Seeing this blog was an insta-follow. JW, did u do a translation somewhere of…whatever this is? https://youtu.be/tfAqq15hv5s?si=xXzvWG1ImZ_qGGGb

whew! as usual if I fucked something else please tell me some of this stuff gets real in the weeds. all I can do is my best

thanks again for the follow and for suggesting this! I'm real glad I took another look, that minagoroshi line really made me laugh. unrelated to Goromi but I'll have a new event up in a week or so because the one going on right now is so incredibly funny to me. it's a Saejima event. look forward to it * Edit: a couple of line corrections thanks to @imustbenuts Thank you again!!!

Thoughts Unspoken

My direct translation of Haurchefant's unsent letter from "Thoughts Unspoken". There are some things in the Eng localisation that aren't in the Jpn, so I thought I should retranslate it for completeness. The original localisation is here for comparison: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2016/short_stories/#sidestory_08

親愛なる友へ

お前は、変わらず元気にしているだろうか？

ドラゴン族による皇都再襲撃の予測……それを受けて、お前やアルフィノ殿が西へ旅立ってから数日が過ぎた。今どこにいるかもわからないお前に、この手紙が届くとも、届けようとも思っていない。つまりは、書き記しただけの独り言だ。

それでも、遠くの空を見ては旅の無事を願う想いを、一度くらいは吐き出さずにいられない。

万が一、これがお前の目に触れるようなことがあったら、まあ、そういうものだと思ってひとつ頼む。

To my dearest friend,

Are you doing well?

A few days ago, after hearing the prediction of the dragons attacking the capital again, you and Alphinaud travelled to the West. I don’t know where you are now, nor do I intend to try to send this letter. In other words, I’m just writing this down for myself.

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to at least once express my feelings of looking to the distant sky and praying for your safe journey.

In the unlikely event that you ever read this, well, please just think of this letter as that.

さて。お前は、イシュガルドに招かれて幸せだっただろうか？

それとも、仕方なく逃げ延びた先で、また誰かの戦いに巻き込まれることになり、うんざりしているのだろうか。たとえそうであったとしても、お前は戦い抜いてしまうのだろうと、容易に想像がついて苦笑している。

Now then. Are you happy that you were invited to Ishgard?

Or are you fed up that after you finally made your escape, you once again got embroiled in someone else’s war? Even if that was the case, I’m bitterly smiling while easily imagining that you would still fight to the very end.

私はといえば、お前がイシュガルドに来てくれたことを、心から嬉しく思い、感謝するばかりだ。それは、お前の実に逞しくイイ冒険者ぶりを、近くで見られる機会が増えたという喜びでもあるのだが……何よりも、頼れる友と同じものを目指し、ともに戦えるのだ。心躍らないわけがない！

As for me, I am so very happy from the bottom of my heart and extremely grateful that you came to Ishgard. That is to say, of course I am delighted that my chances to see your really strong splendid adventuring up close have increased, but also… More than anything, to share a goal with my dependable friend and to fight by their side. There’s no way I couldn’t be excited about this!

お前たちが、ウルダハから逃げ延びて、雪の家に転がり込んできた日。「暁」が灯火を消さんとしていたように、私もまた、お前という友を燻らせてはならないと思った。そこで、どうにかお前たちをイシュガルドに招き入れることができないか、フォルタン伯爵に……父に直訴に行ったのだ。

The day that you two escaped from Ul’dah and came to stay at the House of Snow.

I thought that in the same way that I couldn't let the light of the "Dawn" go out, I couldn’t let your flame be dampened either, my friend. So that was when I went and directly appealed to Count Fortemps... my father, if there wasn't a way to invite you into Ishgard.

……白状すると、私は父のことが苦手だ。恨んでいるわけではない。母にしたって、正しい人であったが故に、己の立場に耐えきれなくなり、私を置いて失踪しただけのこと。父は母のことも、私のことも、愛してくれていたと思う。ただ、それを互いに上手く伝えあえず……私は、フォルタン家に仕える騎士としてしか、あの人と話ができずにいたのだ。

… I must confess that I am not good at dealing with my father.

I don’t mean that I hate him. Even with regards to my mother, even though he tried to do right by her, but she was unable to stand her situation and simply just left me with him and disappeared. I do believe that he loved my mother and loves me too. It’s just… neither of us are very good at communicating this to each other… For me, I was unable to talk to him except from the position of being a knight of House Fortemps.

お前のことを頼みにいったとき、当初、父の返事は渋かった。

それまで開拓団への支援などには積極的だった父でも、指名手配中の人物を受け入れるのには、家を預かる者として懸念があったらしい。

諦められずに懇願する私に、父はそこまで固執する理由は何なのかと問うた。私は、お前との思い出を心のままに語った。それは量としては乏しくとも、ひとつひとつが私にとってかけがえのない、驚きと輝きに満ちたものだ。故に、我が友がどのような人であるか、そして私が友を救いたいと願う気持ちを伝えるには、それが一番だと考えた。

思えば、父とあれほど長く話したことはなかったかもしれない。語り切った私をしばし見つめていた父は、ふと目元を緩め、「明日まで考えさせてほしい」と言った。

そしてその翌日、正式に後見人になると、返事を寄越してくださったのだ。

When I went to ask him to help you, at first, his answer was quite harsh.

Even though he had been very positive when it came to supporting the Reclamation Corps, it seemed the idea of harbouring wanted fugitives was quite a worry for the head of the household. In response to my insistent pleading, he asked me why I wasn’t giving up. I simply told him straight from my heart my memories of you and I. Though they may be meagre in number, each one of them is irreplaceable, overflowing with surprise and shining light! I thought therefore, that this was the best way to explain to him just who you, my dear friend, is- and also how much my desire to save you was. Now that I think of it, this was probably the longest conversation I ever had with my father. When I had said all that I could, he suddenly smiled warmly and said “Let me think on this unto the morrow”. Then the next day, he sent word to me that he would officially become your guardian.

以降のことは、お前も知るところだろう。

おかげさまで、私は以前よりも、本家に顔を出すのが少しばかり楽しみになった。

とはいえお前は大概不在で、また七面倒な役目を背負ってどこかへ旅立っていると聞くたび、私はお前を祖国のいさかいに巻き込んでしまっただけなのではないかと思ったりもする。それについては、文句があったら、いつか酌でもしながら聞くとしよう。

The rest, I trust you already know.

Thanks to you, unlike before, I now actually look forward to visiting Fortemps Manor. However, you aren’t there very much, and each time I hear you are off fighting some great trouble, I sometimes think I have done nothing but get you involved in the troubles of my homeland. If you have complaints about that you are welcome to tell me them over a drink sometime.

それでも、友よ。

私は、一片の疑いもなく、信じてしまうのだ。

��かなる困難も、決してお前を挫かせることはできまい。

それは今回の旅だけではなく、この先、お前がどこを目指したとしても変わらない。

ひとりで越えられない壁があったとしても、お前が進もうとする限り、必ず誰かが手を差し伸べるだろう。私が今、そうしたいと願っているようにだ。

そしてその困難の先には、必ず新しい景色が待っている。

それを見つけたときにはきっと、大いに、笑ってほしい。

お前の旅路が、最良のものであるよう……

無事を祈っている。

―― オルシュファン・グレイストーン

Nonetheless, my friend.

I, without a trace of doubt in my heart, trust in you.

No matter what troubles come, they will never dampen your spirits.

Not just on your current journey, but in the future, no matter what you try to do. Even if there is a wall you can’t climb by yourself, as long as you keep trying, there will be someone to lend you a hand. Just as I, right now, am praying to do.

And on the other side of those troubles, certainly there will be a new day waiting for you.

And when you find it, I want you to do so with a huge smile on your face.

I pray that your journey will always be a good one.

Haurchefant Greystone.

Character scene for Ima, Kako and Takemaru translated. Please take my translations with a grain of salt as I'm far from a professional translator, however, I believe this to be sufficiently accurate.

JP/ENG transcriptions and thoughts under the cut!

ねぇ、お兄ちゃん ... お願い。 Hey, big brother... please.

お願いだから... 今回だけは・・・自分の好きにやらせて・・・ I'm begging you... Just this once... let me do what I want...

みんなと一緒に・・・戦わせて! Let me fight... with everyone!

・・・お願い、お兄ちゃん! ...please, big brother!

.........

あははっ、こりゃ驚いたなー。あの気弱な妹ちゃんがそこまで言うなんて。 Haha, what a surprise. For my timid, dear little sister to say something like that.

そっか・・・妹ちゃんは本気なんだね。だったら、仕方ない・・・ I see... my dear little sister is serious. In that case, guess there's no helping it...

・・・そういう悪い子は、ちゃんと叱って教育してあげないと。 ...a bad girl like that needs to be scolded and taught a lesson.

え・・・? ...eh?

おいで。部屋に帰るよ。お説教はそこでしよう··· Come. Back to your room. That's where your lesson will be...

・・・お願い、お兄ちゃん! W-wait, big brother...!

・・・いいから、お兄ちゃんの言う事を聞きなさい。 ...now, listen to what your big brother is saying.

抵抗する過子の手を今馬が無理やり掴んだ・・・その時だった。 Ima forcefully grabbed Kako's hand. Just then-

・・・待て、コラ。テメー、いい加減にしろや。 ...hold up. Hey you, that's enough.

と、今馬の眼前に厄師寺が立ち塞がった。 Saying that, Takemaru blocked Ima's path.

・・・いくら、アニキだからってよぉ、妹の自由を奪っていいって事にはなんねーだろ。 ...no matter how much you're her big bro, you can't be taking away your sister's freedom.

ちったぁ、妹の意見を尊重してやったらどうだ? For once, how about you try and consider your sister's opinion?

・・・は? ...ha?

アンタ、なんなんすか・・・勝手に妹ちゃんの事を知った気になって... What's up with you... Selfishly getting involved in my sister's business...

自分は・・・妹ちゃんを守らないといけないんすよ? ジャマしないで欲しいっす..... ...aren't you supposed to protect your little sister no matter what? Don't get in the way...

次の瞬間だった。今馬はポケットから何かを取り出すと・・・ Suddenly, Ima reached for something in his pocket...

---

Unsurprisingly I find this one the most interesting by far. It implies an actually somewhat sinister dynamic between the two, considering Kako's hesitation. It's not that surprising Ima would go that far, however, it gives some fascinating insight into their dynamic. Very interested to see how this will turn out to go in the game. Will anyone else besides Takemaru step in?

#ima tsukumo #kako tsukumo #takemaru yakushiji #thl #the hundred line #last defense academy #lda #translation #ima beloved #why is he so scary. what's his damage. Kodaka Im begging you #I wish I could have downloaded the video to TL but that seemed like too much work

[BSTS- Event] Sanrio Collab Event

Masterlist

Common 1

Kokuyou: What do you want, calling me out here Haseyama? 羽瀬山のヤツ、わざわざ呼びつけて何の用だ?

Takami: Kokuyou. 黒曜。

Kokuyou: Oh, you've been called too... What's going on here? ああ、お前も呼ばれたのか････.. って、どうなってんだこれ。

Takami: I guess you didn't know about this after all. やっぱり黒曜も知らなかったんだね。

Mizuki: Huh?! What is this?! は!? なんだこれ!

Rico: Oh, it's Hello Kitty. Why is she here...? あれ、キティちゃんじゃん。なんでここに･･････?

Haseyama: Are you all gathered here, thugs? Come on, bow down. You're so arrogant. 集まったか、チンピラども。ほら、ひれ伏せ。頭が高い。

Mizuki: Huh? What are you suddenly saying? あぁ? いきなり何言ってんだ。

Haseyama: You'll be amazed to hear that a collaboration with Sanrio characters has come true. 聞いて驚け。あのサンリオキャラたちとのコラボが叶った。

Haseyama: You should be grateful to them and tremble with delight at how cute they are. お前たちは彼女たちに感謝して可愛さにひたすら身を震わせろ。

Haseyama: What I want to say...do you understand? 俺が言いたいこと･･････わかるな?

Kokuyou: There's no way you'll understand. わかるわけねぇだろ。

Rico: Sanrio characters and Starless collab...? Seriously? サンリオキャラとスターレスがコラボ･･････? 本気?

Rico: It's impossible for these guys here, it's just not a good fit. I'm fine though. ここの連中には無理でしょ、合わなすぎ。オレは問題ないけどさ。

Mizuki: What is sanrio? Is that the name of this stuffed animal? さんりおきゃら? ってなんだ? このぬいぐるみの名前か?

Takami: Her name is Kitty White, better known as Hello Kitty. 彼女はキティ・ホワイト。ハローキティの名で知られているよ。

Takami: She debuted in 1974. She is a bright and kind girl. デビューは1974年。明るくてやさしい女のコ。

Takami: ---That's what it says on an information site. ―――って情報サイトに書かれてるね。

Kokuyou: Wow... That's amazing. You've been carrying the name for that long? へえ･･････すげぇな。そんな長い間、看板を背負ってんのか。

Haseyama: That's it. I won't tolerate failure. Work hard and earn money. そういうことだ。失敗は許さねぇぞ。しっかり働いて稼ぎやがれ。

Mizuki: No joke. Why would we 冗談じゃねーよ。なんでオレらが

Kokuyou: Wait, Mizuki. 待て、ミズキ。

Kokuyou: You're borrowing someone else's name, so do your job properly. よそ様の看板を借りるんだ、ちゃんと仕事をしろ。

Mizuki: Huh......? は･･････?

Kokuyou: They came all the way to this rundown establishment. It's only polite to entertain them with all our heart. こんな場末の店にまで来てくれたんだ。全力でもてなすのが礼儀だろ。

Mizuki: Entertain...? Are you serious? もてなす･･････? お前マジで言ってんのか。

Haseyama: Wow, as expected from the head of W. It's helpful that you understand things so quickly. いや〜、さすがWのトップ。理解が早くて助かるぜ。

Haseyama: Well then, it's up to you to decide the details. じゃあ、細かいことはお前らで決めておけ。

Haseyama: I won't allow anything to tarnish the reputation of Sanrio characters. サンリオキャラたちの名に傷をつけることは許さねぇからな。

Kokuyou: In the end, is it a complete throw? 結局丸投げか。

Takami: It looks like it. Let's decide who will take responsibility for this. そうみたいだね。ひとまず、分担を決めようか。

Rico: Separate the stage and the floor? It would be less confusing than a mixed team. ステージとフロアで分ける? 混成チームより混乱なさそう。

Takami: That sounds good. Now the question is who will take the stage... それがよさそうだね。じゃあどっちがステージやるかだけど･･････

Mizuki: On stage? With these guys? ステージ? こいつらと?

Takami: Is it difficult? 難しいかな。

Kokuyou: Well then, W will take the stage. I'll leave the floor to B. じゃあ、ステージはWが受け持つ。 Bにはフロアを任せるぞ。

Kokuyou: What will we do in collaboration? We should decide that over there. コラボで何するか、そっちはそっちで決めておけ。

Mizuki: Uh, wait a minute, Kokuyo! え、おい待てよ黒曜!

Mizuki: Tch, what are we doing on the floor? チッ、フロアで何やれってんだ。

Rico: We have no choice but to think about it. I'm sure W is also thinking about the stage. 考えるしかないってことでしょ。 Wだってステージ考えるんだろうし。

Mizuki: Shit...what kind of joke is this! クソ･･････なんの冗談だよ!

Common 2

Taiga: Isn't this the place where Sanrio character goods are sold? ここじゃねーすか。サンリオキャラのグッズが売ってる場所。

Taiga: There's also Kuromi, Tuxedo Sam, Kerokerokeroppi, and My Melody. クロミにタキシードサム、けろけろけろっぴにマイメロディもいますよ。

Akira: Ah, I know this one. It's PomPomPurin. あ、オレこれ知ってる。ポムポムプリンだろ。

Akira: Girl in my class used to like him. 昔、クラスの女子が好きだったなー。

Taiga: he's still popular. He also came in 4th place in this year's Sanrio Character Awards. 今も人気すよ。今年のサンリオキャラクター大賞も4位すな。

Taiga: Actually, he's a regular top-ranking character every year. つか、毎年上位常連キャラすわ。

Shin: Character award? キャラクター大賞?

Taiga: Every year there is a popularity poll for Sanrio characters. 毎年、サンリオキャラの人気投票があるんすよ。

Takami: Hmm, it's kind of a borderline thing. へえ、ボーダーライン的なものかな。

Taiga: Please don't lump me in with that one. あれと一緒にしないでくだせー。

Taiga: I think Cinnamoroll, is the one that came in first this year, received over 5 million votes. 今年1位のシナモロールは、票数500万以上じゃなかったっけ。

Akira: 5 million!? Wow! He's super popular. 500万!? すご! めちゃ人気じゃん。

Taiga: He's really popular. He's definitely been at the top for the past few years. マジ人気すよ。たしか、ここ数年ずっとトップのはず。

Takami: Taiga, you know a lot. Do you like Sanrio characters? 大牙、詳しいね。サンリオキャラ好きだったりする?

Taiga: I would say that the general public knows about it too. The general election will also be featured on the internet news. わりと一般人も知ってる話すよ。総選挙はネットニュースにもなるし。

Akira: Hey, They have a stuffed animal the size of a hug pillow. It's super fluffy! なあ、抱き枕サイズのぬいぐるみがある。すげーモフモフ!

Taiga: It's spectacular when they're lined up along the wall. It's full of fancy. 壁一面に��んでると壮観すな。ファンシーであふれてる。

Akira: That's right, is there no Pollyanna? She appears in the lyrics, a bright and lovely girl. そうだ、ポリアンナはいないの? 歌詞に出てくるじゃん、明るいめっちゃいい子。

Akira: "Lady oh my Pollyanna!"~♪ 『Lady oh my Pollyanna!』~♪ ってさ。

Taiga: No, I've never heard of a character named Pollyanna. いや、ポリアンナってキャラは聞いたことねーすよ。

Takami: That's right, the original source this time is taken from a place that has nothing to do with Sanrio characters. そうだね、今回の原典、サンリオキャラとは関係ないところから持ってきたから。

Takami: The original is "Little Pollyanna," and that's the name of the heroine. 原典は『少女ポリアンナ』、そのヒロインの名前だね。

Takami: I superimposed her bright and positive personality onto Kitty. 彼女の明るくて前向きな様子を、キティに重ねたんだ。

Akira: Oh, I see. ヘー、そうなんだ。

Shin: ...But it's interesting. There seem to be some motorcycle and car goods as well. ･･････しかし興味深い。バイクや車のグッズもあるようだ。

Takami: I thought they would all be cute, but that wasn't the case. てっきり可愛いものばかりと思いましたが、そうではないんですね。

Takami: The outdoor goods are also cool and military-style. アウトドアグッズも、ミリタリーっぽくてかっこいい。

Taiga: It's not just cute, it's amazing. ただ可愛いだけじゃないとは、さすがすわー。

Takami: Yes...it's not just cute. そう･･････可愛いだけじゃない。

Takami: I thought we should match this to the Sanrio characters. こちらがサンリオキャラに合わせていくべきかと思ったけど。

Takami: Apparently there's no need for that. どうやらその必要はなさそうだね。

Shin: The paint on the brush is the color of the flower. 絵筆についた絵の具が、花の色だ。

Akira: What, what do you mean? 何、どういうこと?

Takami: This means that W will remain W and be able to coexist with Sanrio characters. WはWのまま、サンリオキャラと共存できるということだよ。

Shin: Is this why Kokuyo is not on the field? 黒曜が場にいないのはこのためか。

Shin: The echo returns to where it belongs, as if instinctively finding its way. こだまはあるべきところへ戻る。本能的に在処をつかんだようだ。

Takami: Fufu, looks like it's going to be busy from now on. ふふ、これから忙しくなりそうですね。

Common 3

Hinata: Wow, so cute! This is a cafe? わ~、めっちゃ可愛い! ここ、カフェ?

Kongou: There is a Sanrio character cafe next to the goods shop. グッズショップの隣にサンリオキャラのカフェがあるんだよ。

Ran: Oh! It's fluffy and sparkling! お~! フワフワでキラキラやなー!

Rico: I'd love to come to places like this with Kotori-chan. こういう場所には小鳥ちゃんと来たいんだけど。

Rico: It's great to see cute girls in a cute places eating cute desserts. 可愛い子が可愛い空間で可愛いデザートを食べてるのがいいんでしょ。

Kongou: Fair enough. Since we've come all this way, let's get something to eat. まあまあ。せっかく来たんだし、何か食べていこう。

Kongou: Heath, what do you want? How about latte art? ヒース、何にする? ラテアートなんてどう?

Heath: Anything is fine. Ask for what you like. なんでもいい。好きに頼んで。

Kongou: Really? What about you Mizuki? They have hamburgers too. そうか? ミズキはどうする? ハンバーガーもあるよ。

Mizuki: Okay, let's eat. There are a lot of different character menus. おう、食う。つか、いろんなキャラのメニューあんだな。

Mizuki: Why not try the whole menu instead? どうせならメニュー全制覇しようぜ!

Rico: No thanks. I won't be able to finish it anyway. パス。どうせ食べきれない。

Ran: This time it's a reconnaissance mission, so we can each order what we like. 今回は偵察やし、それぞれ好きなもん頼めばいいやろ。

Mizuki: What's wrong, this is so boring. なんだよ、ノリわりーな。

Kongou: What should I do? A smoothie or a cream soda... Both are cute. 俺はどうしよう。スムージーかクリームソーダ･･････どっちも可愛いな。

Hinata: You'll get lost! 迷っちゃうよね!

Ran: Wow, it's surprisingly fun. やー、意外と楽しめるもんやな。

Hinata: Yeah yeah! All the menu items were super cute. うんうん! どのメニューもめちゃ可愛いかった。

Kongou: I like the smoothies that matched the character's colors. キャラのカラーと合わせたスムージーが俺は好きだったな。

Kongou: The character steamed buns were good too. キャラの肉まんもよかったけど。

Ran: Come to think of it, Mizuki seemed a little nervous when he was eating the steamed bun. そーいやミズキ、肉まんを食う時若干キョドってたよな。

Mizuki: I wasn't nervous or anything! It just didn't look like food to me. 別にキョドってねーよ! 食いもんに見えなかっただけだ。

Hinata: I know, it's too cute to eat! わかる~、可愛すぎて食べられないやつ!

Rico: Of course I can't eat it, it's on the cafe menu. 食べられないわけないじゃん、カフェメニューなんだからさ。

Rico: I'm done, so I'll go home first. 用終わったし、オレは先帰る。

Mizuki: What's with him? Of course he knows that. なんだあいつ。そんなのわかってるに決まってるだろ。

Kongou: Fair enough. まあまあ。

Kongou: But it's cute and delicious... so even people who don't know the characters can enjoy it. でも、可愛いくておいしくて･･････あれならキャラを知らない人も楽しめるよな。

Heath: It's true, I think it's cool to be so particular about sticking to being "cute." たしかに、「可愛い」を貫くためにこだわりを持ってるのはかっこいいかな。

Heath: Well, I'll go now. じゃあ、オレもお先に。

Hinata: Ah, everyone is going home now. I wanted to see more shops. えー、みんなもう帰っちゃうの。もっとお店見たかったのに。

Hinata: I've just started to like Sanrio characters, right? せっかくサンリオキャラのこと好きになってきたところだし。ね?

Mizuki: Well, maybe it's worse than I thought. ま、思ったより悪くねーかもな。

Mizuki: When Haseyama first suggested a collaboration I thought it was crap. ハセヤマがコラボを言い出した時はクソだと思ったけどよ。

Ran: But we're in charge of the floor. What a shame. でも、オレらはフロア担当じゃん。残念やなー。

Ran: It's more fun to go wild on stage! ステージで暴れたほうが楽しいのに!

Mizuki: It's just a matter of sharing the duties of entertaining on the dance floor. No one's telling me not to go on stage. フロアでもてなしするって分担なだけ。ステージに出るなとは言われてねーよ。

Ran: Oh, what's this? Time for some mischief? In that case, would you go with me? お、なんや。悪巧みの時間か? そんなら付き合うけど?

Kongou: Hey, don't do anything unnecessary. おい、余計なことするなよ。

Mizuki: Hehe, you want to make the collaboration even more exciting, right Kongou? へへ、お前だってコラボ盛り上げたいだろ? 金剛!

Ran: The floor and the stage are all special! フロアもステージも、全部盛りスペシャルや!

Hinata: What? Something interesting is happening? Exciting! なになに、面白いこと始まる? ワクワク!

Kongou: No, that's why it's not okay...sigh. いやだからダメだって･･････はぁ。

Common 4

Akira: Well then, let's liven things up a bit. そんじゃ、いっちょ盛り上げますかー。

Unei: We apologize for the long wait, everyone. みなさま、大変お待たせいたしました。

Unei: Before Team W's show, enjoy a surprise performance by Team B! チームWのショーの前に、チームBによるサプライズステージをどうぞお楽しみください!

Kokuyou: ...What's going on now? ･･････なんだ今の?

Takami: It looks like the announcement earlier was not wrong. さっきのアナウンス、間違いじゃないみたいだね。

Taiga: A surprise stage? Wow, that's so B-like. サプライズステージすか。いやー、Bらしいすわ。

Akira: I see, it's a standard number with a chorus that only a collaboration can create. なるほど、スタンダードナンバーにコラボならではのコーレスね〜。

Unei: Wow, the surprise was a huge success! やー、サプライズ大成功ですね!

Unei: Now when the main stars, Team W, appear on stage the stage will be perfect. これで真打ちのWみなさんが登場すればステージは完璧ですよ。

Kokuyou: It's not perfect. W hasn't been communicated to management. 完璧じゃねぇよ。 Wに話が通ってねぇぞ、運営。

Unei: Huh? えっ?

Unei: Mizuki told me that B will be livening up the show before W's show... ミズキさんからWのショーの前に Bが盛り上げるって聞いたんですけど･･････。

Kokuyou: I didn't hear anything though. Those naughty kids are running wild. 聞いてねぇけどな。悪ガキどもが暴走しやがって。

Unei: Didn't you hear me?! Well then, should we stop the stage? 聞いてないんですか!? じゃ、じゃあステージ止めますか?

Kokuyou: Fine, let him. いい、やらせとけ。

Shin: The audience erupts in joy, and the performance is a success. 客は歓喜に湧き、ステージとしては成功だ。

Takami: It seems there have been no accidents. 事故もないようですしね。

Takami: ...But that doesn't mean it's okay, does it, Kokuyo? ･･････だからいいというわけでもない、ということでしょう、黒曜。

Kokuyou: That's what happened. そういうこった。

Mizuki: It was so much fun! It was awesome. めちゃくちゃ盛り上がったー! サイコーだぜ。

Ran: Surprise success! サプライズ大成功!

Kokuyou: I've been waiting, you little brats. 待ってたぜ、クソガキども。

Mizuki: Hey, Kokuyou. B warmed up the hall. よぉ、黒曜。 Bがホールをあっためてやったぜ。

Mizuki: The audience was in a frenzy! 客席も大盛り上がりだ!

Kokuyou: Yes, thanks for setting things up. そうだな、お膳立てどうも。

Takami: But it should have been shared. けど、共有はすべきだったね。

Takami: Could it be that an accident occurred because you guys had proceeded on your own? 君たちが勝手に進めたことで、事故があったかもしれないだろう?

Mizuki: There wasn't. なかっただろ。

Takami: As it turned out, we didn't know anything about it. 結果的にね。でも、俺たちは何も知らなかった。

Takami: There was a chance that we would start performing at the same time. 同じタイミングでステージを始めちゃう可能性もあったよ。

Hinata: Stages B and W starting at the same time? That's an accident! BとWのステージが同時に始まる? 事故じゃん!

Shin: Oh, and customers will be confused too. ああ、客も混乱するだろうな。

Ran: What's more, it's really lame. しかも、めっちゃダサい。

Mizuki: ...Is that so? ･･････そういうことかよ。

Kokuyou: Oh well, it's over. Come on, go ahead and spin the hole. ま、終わったことだ。ほら、ホール回してこい。

Kokuyou: It's our job to entertain Sanrio characters. Don't slack off. サンリオキャラをもてなすのが俺たちの仕事だ。手ェ抜くなよ。

Mizuki: I know. わかってるっての。

Kokuyou: From here on, it's the W show. Enjoy the real thing, from the hall. ここからはWのショーだ。本物を楽しめよ、ホールからな。

Mizuki: Let's see if you can do better than us. オレらよりやれるか、見ててやるぜ。

Hinata: I'm looking forward to the hall too! I wonder if I'll get to meet the ladies. ホールも楽しみ! おねーさんに会えるかな。

Kokuyou: Sorry, let me do it. 悪かったな、お前にやらせて。

Takami: No, I don't need you to tell me that. いや、君に言わせるまでもないことだから。

Kokuyou: Well then, shall we go? それじゃ、行くか。

Kokuyou: This is where the real action begins.

Common 5

Rico: Thank you for coming to see me, Kotori-chan. 小鳥ちゃん、会いに来てくれてありがと。

Kazami Saki: Hello Rico-san. That girl is My Melody! リコさん、こんにちは。その子はマイメロディですよね!

Rico: That's right ♪ I'll be welcoming the cute girl together with Melody. 正解♪ 可愛い子をメロディと一緒にお出迎えだよ。

Hinata: Saki-san, what about me? Take a look! Sakiさん、オレは? 見てみて!

Kazami Saki: Fufu, it's so cute. The girls with Hinata-san are――― ふふ、すごく可愛いです。ヒナタさんが一緒の子たちは――――

Hinata: It's Lloromannic. Do you know? Berry is a boy and Cherry is a girl–. ルロロマニックだよ。知ってる? 男のコのベリーと女のコのチェリー。

Kazami Saki: Paired with Hinata, they make a cute trio. ヒナタさんと組んで、可愛いトリオですね。

Hinata: Cute trio! Nice, that's good ♪ 可愛いトリオ! いいね、それもーらい♪

Kongou: Welcome, Saki-chan. やあ、いらっしゃい、Sakiちゃん。

Heath: Did you enjoy the surprise stage? If you enjoyed it, then that's good. サプライズステージは楽しんでくれた? アンタが喜んでくれたなら、いいんだけど。

Kazami Saki: It was a real surprise to see Team B on stage! まさかチームBのステージがあるなんて、本当にサプライズでした!

Kazami Saki: The Sanrio character collaboration version of the stage was also fun. サンリオキャラコラボバージョンのステージも楽しかったです。

Kazami Saki: Oh, you two are also with Sanrio characters. So cute! あ、2人もサンリオキャラと一緒なんですね。可愛いです!

Kongou: Haha, Cinnamoroll is the cutest. はは、可愛いのはシナモロールだよ。

Heath: Apparently when they're collaborating, they take him with them when they go out onto the dance floor. コラボ中はフロアに出る時、一緒に連れていくんだって。

Kazami Saki: Wow. Heath-san is with Keroppi. I hope you can become good friends during this collaboration. へぇ。ヒースさんはけろっぴなんですね。コラボの間に仲良くなれたらいいですね。

Heath: ……I agree. ………そうだね。

Kongou: Well, I'm off to greet the customers over there. See you, Saki-chan. さてと、向こうのお客にも挨拶してくるよ。またね、Sakiちゃん。

Hinata: See you later! またあとでねー!

Kazami Saki: Thank you for reaching out to me. 声をかけてくれてありがとうございます。

Kazami Saki: (Everyone with stuffed toys is so cute...hehe) (ぬいぐるみを持ってるみなさん、本当に可愛らしいな･･･････ふふっ)

Akira: Hello, Saki-chan. やっほー、Sakiちゃん。

Akira: Did you enjoy the W show? Wのショー、楽しんでくれた?

Kazami Saki: Thank you all for your hard work, it was so much fun! みなさん、お疲れさまです。とっても楽しかったです!

Kazami Saki: I never thought that W and Sanrio characters would go together so well. まさかあんなにWとサンリオキャラが合うと思っていなくて。

Taiga: I agree. At first I was wondering what would happen. 俺も同感すわ。最初はどうなるもんかと思いきや。

Kazami Saki: It's a mix of cute and cool, and you'll likely become addicted to it. 可愛いとかっこいいが混じって、やみつきになってしまいそうです。

Akira: It's interesting to hear W songs that are different from their usual songs. 普段のWとは違う楽曲を、 Wが歌うってのは面白いよなー。

Akira: I think last summer's superhero show had a similar feel. 去年の夏のヒーローショーも、似たような感じだった気がする。

Taiga: Ah, that's an odd one. あー、あの変わり種すね。

Kazami Saki: But this was also a new experience for me. It was fun! でもこれもW! って感じで新鮮でしたよ。楽しかったです!

Kokuyou: You know that, don't you? わかってるじゃねぇか。

Kokuyou: It would be rude to lose our individuality in order to entertain people who have come to collaborate. コラボに来てくれた相手をもてなすのに、俺たちらしさをなくすのは逆に失礼だろ。

Kokuyou: Well, it was also great that they had the tolerance to accept whatever came their way. まあ、何と交わろうと受け入れちまう度量が向こうにあったのもデカかったな。

Akira: I know. Singing was so much fun thanks to the Sanrio characters. わかる。サンリオキャラのおかげで歌うのがめちゃ楽しかったもんなー。

Taiga: Oh, the older guys also noticed how amazing they were and were very noble... お~、にーさんたちも彼女たちのすごさに気づいて殊勝に･･････。

Kokuyou: I mean, if I get serious, there's no stage I can't achieve. つーか俺が本気になりゃできねぇステージなんざねぇんだよ。

Akira: I can sing any song ♪ オレはどんな歌だって歌えるしねー♪

Taiga: It wasn't particularly special. 全然殊勝じゃなかった･･････。

Common 6

Akira: Ah, it's over.

Akira: Just now, at the final performance The girls were screaming and screaming.

Akira: Are you going to clean up all of this now?

Shin: Give up. The shadow on the glass will not go away.

Kongou: Ran, I'll put some cushioning material in the box, Can you put the stuffed animal in a plastic bag?

Kongou: If it rains, I can't let it get wet and dirty.

Ran: Oh, okay.

Taiga: It is packed with cushioning material and placed in a thick plastic bag to prevent it from getting wet.

Taiga: Much better treatment than we were. They offer everything you could possibly want.

Kongou: These are characters that are loved by a lot of people. It has to be returned in a good condition.

Taiga: No, that's not the place to be serious.

Ran: It's finally cleaned up. Somehow this view is nostalgic!

Kongou: But I'm a little sad. This collaboration was a lot of fun.

Kongou: It was a bit awkward for me to walk around the floor with a stuffed toy

Ran: Say something like that, The customers kept calling you "cute"

Kongou: Because it's for Cinnamoroll!

Akira: …

Shin: What's wrong?

Akira: When I returned to the usual Starless, I felt like what I had just been was incredibly far away.

Taiga: Well, that's what collaboration is all about.

Taiga: It's a special time, so to speak, when world lines that would never intersect under normal circumstances do intersect.

Ran: That's right. Putting me and Pochacco aside, Taiga and Kuromi don't seem to be getting along!

Taiga: There's no way you and Pochacco are together.

Shin: This is now packed.

Kongou: I'll ask the management to arrange for it to be picked up. Ran, please carry another cardboard box.

Ran: Okay, this is it.

Kongou: Well, when you're done cleaning. I have to start preparing for the next show.

Shin: Akira, Taiga, let's go. We are the entrance.

Taiga: I'm so busy. Just let me bask in the afterglow a little longer.

Shin: Don't tell the Starlight your secrets.

Akira: Ah, it feels like the usual Starless.

MPW Ep 5 Subtitle Corrections

Masterlist: EP 1 || EP 2 || EP 3 || EP 4

Y: 釣り合うわけないじゃん Y: 相手はよりによって　これだぞ　これ Y: There's no way (I) can match up (to him) Y: To this (person), of all people, this!

Ep 5 is about Yoh struggling with his desire to "match up" to Segasaki, and the objective difference that he sees between the two of them. It's different from Ep 2's struggle - which arose chiefly because he felt insecure about where he stood with Segasaki. This time, Yoh's struggle is predominantly with himself - because now he has to face up to his worst fear confirmed - that maybe he really is incompetent. And this time, he has to do it without the aid of alcohol too.

I've seen a lot of people talk about how Segasaki shows Yoh his love in every way but in words, and that that's the reason for their miscommunication - but that's not true. He may not use the word "love" or "like", but culturally these words are not often used anyway. What Segasaki does say however, multiple times throughout the show in fact but most clearly in this episode, is essentially "I like it when you depend on me". It's as direct a reassurance as you can get to the fear of being hated because of his perceived incompetence - but that's just the thing - Yoh's perception is skewed by his self-judgement. So, it's not that Segasaki can't use his words - the problem is that Yoh isn't ready to listen yet. Despite this, Yoh's confidence in his relationship with Segasaki is growing every episode. He might not realize this consciously, but it's right after Segasaki comforts and cares for Yoh at his lowest, that Yoh also drops to what is arguably the most casual speech level he's ever gotten with Segasaki (thus far) - and in response, so does Segasaki.

So, same translation disclaimer applies, Ep 5, let's go! (no twitter space for EP 5 probably because of the fan meets).

Y: 学生時代から不定期でもらってた単発の仕事も途切れて Y: 完全無職だ Y: あ、せめて、家事ぐらいはちゃんとやらないと Y: Now that the one-off jobs I've been receiving on an irregular basis since I was a student have been cut off Y: I'm completely jobless Y: Ah! At the very least, I have to do something as small as the housework properly.

Y: だって　そういうのがすきなんだよ、俺は Y: But, actually, that's what I like Yoh's explicit use of the personal pronoun "I" here again emphasizes that this is his own opinion. The way this sentence is phrased also gives the impression that Yoh feels a little aggrieved at the whole "your male characters are irritating to male readers because they're too perfect" explanation his editor gave him.

Y: *そりゃ、ほっといたら描いちゃうよ Y: **お前のせいだ Y: お前みたいなのが　***近くにいるから Y: バーカ Y: *Well I mean, if I'm left to my own devices then I'll end up drawing (him) Y: It's all your** fault Y: It's because someone like you, is (always) around*** me Y: I~diot. *The "aggrieved" feeling is even stronger in this sentence - Yoh is basically saying that he doesn't set out to draw the characters that way - it just sort of happens, and well it's not his fault, because as long as no one (including he himself) is paying attention to what he's drawing, well then, the characters just turn out that way. ** This is the first time that Yoh has referred to Segasaki using the informal pronoun "お前 (omae)" for "you". Depending on the context, it could be considered a rude pronoun, but is mostly just seen as a marker of masculine speech, and thus leans more towards being simply "impolite". It's the same pronoun that Segasaki uses when he speaks to Yoh - but Yoh usually uses the slightly more polite "あんた(anta)" instead, both in his head as well as when he speaks aloud. The switch here emphasizes Yoh's accusation, that this is all Segasaki's fault. ***the phrase here is often used to say that someone is "by your side" or "here for you" and doesn't only refer to physical distance. So, although he's using "omae" and "blaming" Segasaki for his characters turning out looking perfect, these 4 lines actually still sound pretty intimate. Together with how he drags out the word "idiot", this is very clearly Yoh's amae, similar to what we saw in Ep 4. I... will probably write a post about amae as well, because it's so important to their relationship.

Y: 洋服を着たまま海に溺れるように Y: 暗いものが染み込んで Y: 黒いものを吸い込んで Y: ブヨブヨになった体はずっしりと Y: 重く　重く。。。 Y: It feels as if I'm drowning in the ocean whilst fully dressed Y: The darkness seeping into (me) Y: The blackness pouring into (my mouth) Y: My body, now swollen, sinks heavily down Y: So heavy. So heavy.

S: なんだ　いるじゃねぇか S: 電気も付けねぇで　何やっ S: Oh so you are here S: Not even switching on the lights, what were-

S: *あちゃ～　これやり直しだな S: *Ahchaa... This needs to be redone then..

*This is just a sound that you make similar to "oh man..." so I'm not sure why it was translated so forcefully as "it's no good"😅 This sentence is another example of soliloquy, or talking to oneself aloud, that is common in Japanese.

Y: ご飯、ない Y: ごめんなさい Y: すぐ準備する S: *しょうがねぇなぁ　ほら立て S: 行くぞ Y: Food... there isn't any Y: I'm sorry Y: I'll make it soon S: *What do I do with you... come on stand up S: We're going

Yoh is really down here because he loses practically all his words. His first sentence is literally "food, none", and when he says I'm sorry he uses the casual (but full) version "gomen nasai" instead of "suimasen" like he usually does. It makes him sound a lot younger than usual, and overall just adds to the kicked-puppy vibe really well. *しょうがねぇなぁ (shouganee naa) - this is a common phrase that literally translates to "there is no way (to deal with this)" or more commonly "(this situation) can't be helped". It's used to express a sort of acceptance, like in a "oh well, it can't be helped, so don't feel too bad" or "well there's no way this could've been avoided, so let's just get on with it" sorta way. Here, the way Segasaki adds "naa" at the end with a rising tone, actually makes it sound a little indulgent - like when you find your puppy made a mess but it's too cute for you to feel upset and you just love it more. (Also, this is a really common way to show affection between characters in dramas/anime - when one character is down in the dumps, another will be like "well what am I going to do with an idiot like you, I guess I have to help, right?")

S: 葉　とりあえず　口開けろ S: Yoh. In any case, open your mouth first

S: ごちそうさまでした (gochisousama deshita) S: Thank you for the food This is a standard phrase said at the end of a meal (it's counterpart is "itadakimasu - I gratefully partake" said at the beginning). It expresses gratitude to everyone involved in making the meal possible - from the farmers who grew the vegetables to the person who cooked the meal, and yes, even to the animals themselves. Usually, you would say this to the person who made the meal, or the one treating you to it, but it's Segasaki here who leads the saying of this phrase. This isn't weird at all, given the broad meaning of the word, but it is reminiscent of what a parent would do at home, or a teacher would do in school (Japanese teachers eat with their students in class).

S: なんか落ち込んでんの？ Y: 漫画が　とてもだめです* S: You seem a little down about something? Y: My manga is... really bad.* *desu form is back, to give emphasis to this sentence. That said - and I'm really not trying to belittle Yoh here - but similar to the "food, none" phrase earlier, this sentence is just so short and simple that it just makes him sound, well, young. Imagine asking someone "you don't seem to like that person?", and they look at you all serious and say "they're a bad person" - it just sounds unexpectedly young and innocent, and the whole "desu" at the end just tops off the kicked puppy vibes for real. It's why Segasaki snorts a little and smiles.

S: お前漫画がだめだと　こうなんの？ S: えっ　そんだけ？ Y: うん S: ふーん Y: そんだけってなんだよ Y: こっちは　今にも　死にそうな気分なのに

S: So when your manga is bad you become like this? S: Eh? That's all? Y: Mm. S: Hmm~ Y: What do you mean "that's all?" Y: When here I am feeling like I'm about to die soon In case you were wondering, "that's all?" in Japanese sounds exactly as it does in English, so no blaming Yoh here for being all 😟 about it.

S: ほら*　早く来い S: Now, come here, quickly. *ほら (hora) - I last highlighted this word in Ep 3, but Segasaki actually uses it a lot more that just these 2 instances (not least because Yoh's always avoiding him). It's simply a word used to get the listener's attention, like, "look here" or "now" or "see" or "come on" etc.

S: 今日はお前がされるがまま*で気分よかったわ S: もっと落ち込め S: Today you did exactly as you were told, so I felt really good S: Be dejected more often *されるがまま - this phrase means to passively go along with whatever the other person says or does to you, without any resistance (it can also refer to letting nature take its course). It's mostly used to describe a negative situation since it usually implies that the person has no free will of their own, but can also be fairly neutral as in "I followed the waiter's recommendations exactly". So, it's quite amusing that in these 2 sentences, negative sounding words are actually meant to be really sweet (just like how Yoh's "I hate you" sounds eh?).

Personally, I also appreciate how this is a callback to Yoh's monologue in Ep 3, when he talks about noticing the way Segasaki looks just that little bit happier when Yoh listens to him. Here, Segasaki confirms it for Yoh (and us), reinforcing to Yoh that he really doesn't mind Yoh depending on him one bit.

Y: こんなの本物の恋人同士みたいだ Y: あんた*　まるで本当に　俺のこと好きみたいじゃん Y: Like this... it feels like we're a real live couple Y: You*... it's as if you really do like me *We're back to Yoh's usual "anta" here for "you", instead of the "omae" he used earlier.

S: しょうがねぇなぁ S: What do I do with you This is the same phrase as earlier, when Segasaki found Yoh by the laundry machine.

Oh, the moon is beautiful isn't it? 🤭🤭

Y: だって　俺の漫画は世間に求められてないわけですし Y: But, it seems like the world doesn't want my manga... The phrase "the world wants/doesn't want" is commonly used when talking about finding one's place in the world/society, and young adults often say this when trying to figure their life out. So yes, not so uncommon a phrase that this sentence sounds ridiculous, but it definitely does sound a little dramatic. Hence Man-san's response.

M: *甘ったれんな　思い上がんな M: Don't be so *spoiled. Don't think so highly of yourself. *The is the same word, amae, that Man-san used in Ep 4 when she said Yoh was being affectionate with Segasaki. This is another meaning of amae, and it is used in a negative way here, which sort of shows you the complexity of this concept. Underlying it is the message that it's okay to be dependent on your loved ones for your emotional needs, but you still need to take responsibility for your own life.

M: 衣食住の保障された環境でのんびり描いてて　 M: 一回仕事が途切れたぐらいでうじうじ言ってんのか M: 本気で気に食わない Y: 万さん　オーバーキルです M: Being able to draw freely without having to worry about your clothes, food or lodging M: and yet acting all wishy-washy the moment something as small as getting your work cut off just once happens M: I really can't stand that Y: Man-san, that's overkill The term Man-san uses to describe Yoh's current living arrangement is the same term that Segasaki used in his not-proposal, so this suggests that by now Yoh has told her everything about how they got together (and I love that Man-san totally does not judge). It's not explicitly talked about in the show, but despite their similar status as Segasaki Otakus, Man-san does often come across as something like a mentor figure to Yoh, or at least someone senior to him in the Manga world. For one, she speaks very casually to him (for a lady, she sounds as rough as Segasaki tbh 😅), even for someone from the Kansai region, and she often gives him advice. Yoh usually speaks to her informally, but in this whole conversation he does shift up to the desu/masu form often, in response to her scolding him, because she's really going at it (even after taking into account her usual speech pattern😅) and well, he's smarting a little at the moment 😂

M: 世間がどうとかじゃなくて　ダヨちゃんはどうしたいの？ Y: え？ M: ダヨちゃんにとって　漫画って　そういうもんだったの？ M: もうちょっと落ち着いて　考えな M: Rather than thinking about what the world wants, what do you, Dayo-chan, want to do? Y: Huh? M: Is that all that manga is to you, Dayo-chan? M: Calm down a little more and think about it yea?

Y: かたじけのうございます Y: I am indebted to you! This is a very very archaic way to say thank you, think like samurai-level archaic. These two definitely live in the world of manga 😂😂

S: もう体調は戻ったのか？ Y: はい　おかげさまで* S: また　崩してくれても**いいんだぞ Y: ええ？ S: Have you recovered now? Y: Yes, thanks to you* S: It's okay to feel down again for me** too you know Y: Eh?? *Okagesamade - standard phrase you use when someone asks after your health, or when you want to express gratitude for someone else's role in your success/improvement/recovery etc ** 崩してくれて (kuzushite kurete)" - adding "kurete" at the end like this literally means that Yoh does the action of feeling down for Segasaki, rather than just "it's okay to feel down again", which is why Yoh responds in such a surprised manner. As he did before, Segasaki takes what normally is a bad thing and talks about it like it's something good instead. It's his way of emphasizing that Yoh depending on him isn't an inconvenience, in fact, it's something that Segasaki is happy to be on the receiving end of.

Y: これから自分たちをモデルにした漫画を描きに行きますなんて言えないし Y: そもそも、万さんのところにしばらく通うことを許してくれるかどうか。。。 Y: なんとか説得しないと Y: It's not like I can just say "from now on I will be going (out) to draw a manga based on us!" or something like that and... Y: In the first place, (I don't know) whether or not he'll allow me to go to Man-san's place regularly during this period... Y: I have to find some way convince him.

Argument breakdown time, things get intense~~

Y: あの。。。 S: ん？ Y: 今日　編集部で打ち合わせをすることになった* Y: Um... S: Hm? Y: Today, I have a meeting at the editorial department* *Literally, "It has been decided that today (I) will be having a meeting at the editorial department" - this might sound like an indirect way to say "I am going to a meeting" but it's pretty par for the course when speaking politely. Except, Yoh doesn't use the polite form here like he did in Ep 4, nor does he phrase this sentence as an explanation that he's going to follow up on. Nope, by Yoh's usual standards, this is An Announcement, so it's no wonder Segasaki is immediately suspicious.

S: はあ？　仕事切られたんじゃねえのかよ？ Y: いや　そ、その。。。新しいやつ Y: しばらく　忙しくて Y: 場合によっては編集部に泊まりもあるかも S: 昨日の今日で　そんなことあるか？ Y: たまたま連絡がきたんだよね S: お前　なんか　俺に嘘ついてない？ Y: う、嘘じゃない S: いや　おかしいだろ　泊りって S: お前　まさか変な仕事じゃねぇだろうな？ Y: そんなこと。。。ないよ！ S: Haa? Didn't they stop giving you work? [じゃねえのかよ - Segasaki slurs the end vowel here, and adds the end particle "かよ(ka yo)" at the end, which is a rough way to express doubt or surprise, and usually implies some irritation. This, combined with Segasaki's trademark annoyed "haa?" results immediately in a rather flustered Yoh, who stutters a little on the next sentence] Y: No, it-it's... this is a new one. Y: For a while, I'm going to be busy and Y: Depending on the situation, staying overnight at the editorial department... might... be... necessary... [No end particles here - this is still a statement, and would sound stronger if not for the fact that he's hesistating so much] S: And all that just happens today, on this day, just one day after yesterday? Y: ...It just so happened that they contacted me, you see... S: You... are lying to me, aren't you? Y: I-it's not a lie! S: No, it's weird isn't it, to stay overnight? S: You - don't tell me - you aren't doing some kind of shady job are you? Y: There's nothing... of that sort!

S: 葉 Y: はい S: Yoh Y: Yes (hai)?

Yoh's been making a valiant effort to stick to his story throughout this whole conversation but his tone changes completely and he pretty much gives up once Segasaki points out he's lying. In response - and this is not easy to hear but if you want to, go back to about 19:56 or 19:57 of this episode - do you hear Segasaki's small "tsk", after his sigh and before he says Yoh's name? Clicking your tongue, or "tsk-ing" someone is a very very rude way to express frustration or anger in Japan. We're talking get-into-drunk-fights level of rude, if you do it to a stranger. Amongst close friends and family, you're more likely to draw shock first, since it shows the depth of your anger, but they might still get pissed with you afterward. Here at least, Yoh can tell both from the tsk and Segasaki's tone of voice, that he is Not Happy, so he answers Segasaki with a proper "hai" here too.

S: ちょっとここ座れ* Y: はい S: 早く S: Come sit here* Y: Yes S: Be quick. *Slurred "r" on the word "suware" - sit makes this sound very very rough. Segasaki doesn't normally do this, so again, this is him angry, and he's going to slur his r's quite a bit more.

S: お前さ　自分の立場わかってんの？ S: 分かってねぇだろ　分かってねぇから　泊りで仕事とか言い出すんだろうが Y: え～っとだから遊びに行くわけじゃないし。。。 S: そうじゃねぇだろ S: ああ～もう S: 金か？なんか欲しいもんがあるなら買ってやる Y: 違くて　少しはさ。。。 Y: 自分が稼がないとって S: 必要ない　なんで分かんねぇかな S: お前は稼がなくていいんだよ S: Listen, you - do you even understand what position you're in? S: You don't do you? You don't understand and that's why you can just say things like you'll stay out to work overnight. [This is harsh. Not only is the speech rough, he's still slurring some of his "r"s here, and the ending particle だろうが emphasizes the forcefulness of this statement and Segasaki's frustration - and you can see the effect it has on Yoh.] Y: Umm well... it's not like I'm going for fun or something... [This is indignant, but also nervous - Yoh's speaking a lot faster than usual, and he has to drag the filler words at the beginning out before he can figure out what to say.] S: That's not what I'm talking about is it! [slurred r again] S: Argh I swear - S: Is it money? If there's something you want then I'll buy it for you [more slurred "r"s] Y: That's not it! Even just a little - [This is the first time Yoh uses the end particle "さ (sa)", and just like Segasaki, he's using it to draw attention to what he's saying, essentially the equivalent of "listen!". This whole line isn't rude, but it is direct and it's probably the most forceful Yoh has gotten with Segasaki so far, even compared to their argument in Ep 2 - Yoh might have physically pushed Segasaki then, but he mostly just sounded hurt. Here, he's very tense, but he's cut off by Segasaki biting his ear.] Y: - I should earn some money myself (at least, I thought so) [This is more like how Yoh usually voices his opinion - by "hedging" his sentences a little with "I think" and so on to sound less direct - though he's still using truncated forms here, so he's not quite back to his usual level yet] S: There's no need to. [To self:] Why don't you understand? S: It's fine even if you don't earn anything. [Similarly, Segasaki softens this sentence just a tiny bit by tacking on a よ(yo) at the end]

Y: でも! S: あのな　俺はお前に漫画の仕事がなくなろうがどうでもいいんだ Y: But! S: Listen to me. I don't care at all whether you lose your manga work or not. [To be fair to Yoh, the phrase "どうでもいいんだ" literally means "it's fine either way" but it tends to feel like "I don't care because it doesn't matter/make a difference to me/doesn't really involve me", so you can see why it triggers him.]

It's interesting to contrast Yoh's reaction here with the above 2 times Segasaki says something with a negative connotation. Of course, Segasaki also sounded a lot sweeter then (though in his defence, he didn't have to worry about why Yoh might be trying to lie to him all of a sudden), but the biggest difference really is in Yoh's mindset.

Y: え？ S: 当然だろ S: だから余計なこと*すんな Y: なんだよ　どうでもいいって Y: 漫画のこと　分からないなりに　応援してくれてるもんだと思ってたのに Y: あんたにとってはくだらないことでも Y: 俺にとってはすごく Y: すごく大事な事なのに Y: 全然よくない Y: バカにすんなよ！ Y: Huh? S: Isn't that obvious? S: So, don't do unnecessary* things [*余計なこと - This phrase is used to refer to the problems that arise from whatever thing/action is in excess, and so has a negative connotation. Yoh is too fixated on the previous line to notice though] Y: What's that (supposed to mean)... "I don't care" Y: I've always thought that manga was something you supported me in, despite not knowing much about it, and yet... Y: Even if to you, it's something trivial Y: To me, it's something that's extremely Y: It's something extremely important and yet... Y: This is definitely not ok Y: Don't look down on me! [word contraction - again, by Yoh's standards, at least when he talks out loud to Segasaki, this is a drop in speech levels]

Y: 絶対あんたより稼げるようになってやる Y: 漫画で! Y: I'm definitely going to become someone who can earn more money than you! Y: With manga! I think difference between simply "earning more" and "becoming someone who can earn more" is important here - because it isn't about money - it's about competence. Yoh thinks his own worth is calculated in his ability to do things "well", be it in his work or at home. By that measure, Segasaki is worth everything and Yoh is sorely lacking, hence Yoh wants to "become" someone that is, in his mind, worth something. Because if he does not, then inevitably, Segasaki will one day come to disdain him.

There are so many times in this episode that Yoh hears things that should cement their relationship in his head, that he even recognizes as couple-like and accepts without protest - Man-san referring to Segasaki as Yoh's boyfriend, Segasaki losing his whole "man-of-a-few-words" thing and saying more to him in this episode than in any other, verbal confirmation that Yoh depending on him is something he welcomes etc. And yet, Yoh's fear filters all of that out and he hears only what sounds like his own self-judgement in Segasaki's voice. It's no wonder he lashes out at Segasaki like that, though really, who he's really attacking is himself. Afterall, sometimes when we hurt ourselves, we hurt the people who love us too, as we'll see in Ep 6.

(That was quite the arguement though, wasn't it!)

#my personal weatherman #taikan yohou #体感予報 #MPW subtitle corrections #mytranslations #segasaki x yoh #segasaki definitely uses the wrong words sometimes #but it's not like he doesn't use the right ones either #until yoh acknowledges and believes in his own strengths #segasaki could promise to love yoh for all their natural lives and then some #and yoh would still fear that segasaki might hate him #sorry i just see so much discourse about how things could be solved if they just used words #but it's not about what is being said (or not)#it's about what is (and isn't) being heard

Did someone ask for more scans? No? Too bad, have more scans.

Emmy's letter to Professor Layton, post-Curious Village. The fabled letter, which can only be accessed properly if you rip open your copy of the Japan-exclusive Azran Legacy Guidebook (more or less).

Years ago, there were photos and a fan-translation floating around on tumblr. Now, I give you the new and high quality version, as well as a full transcript. You're welcome :>

It's been literally eight years since your post, but since your tags say that you wanted to be warned if a better scan were to be made, well... Here you go @puzzilitis x) I'm also tagging @the-azran-legacies, but I'm pretty sure your blog is completely dead since this translation post seems to be its latest sign of activity, and that was ten years ago.

Seriously though, just in case you get to see this -- thank you both so much for what you did all these years ago. Without your posts, I might never even have heard that this letter existed in the first place! Or, well, I likely would have heard of it by now given the fact that I've been documenting every single Layton media I can find -- but I would have lived through an entire decade of ignorance by that point.

The translation below has been done exclusively with DeepL because my free time is limited, sorry for that ^^' If you want another one in order to compare, you have the one linked above, and I will likely make another one later (much later).

みんなのエピソード２１｜レミからの手紙

Everybody's Episode 21: A Letter from Emmy

親愛なるレイトン教授へ Dear Professor Layton,

あれから数か月になりますが、教授、お元気ですか？ It's been a few months since then. Professor, how are you?

一緒に仕事をしている仲間からレイトン教授が遺産相続騒動を解決したという話を耳にして思わず手紙を書いてしまいました。 When I heard from a colleague I work with that you had solved an inheritance dispute, I couldn't resist writing to you.

タージェントから世界を救ったあのレイトン教授が単なる遺産相続のナゾトキの依頼を引き受けるなんて。まさか…と思いましたが、ナゾには目がない教授ですし、きっと知的好奇心を刺激される不思議な出来事だったんでしょうね。 How could the very same Professor Layton who had saved the world from Targent, now accept a mere inheritance puzzle request? I could not believe it… But you always had a penchant for puzzles, so I am certain that it had to be a mysterious event which truly stimulated your intellectual curiosity.

ルークはしっかりと役目を果たせたでしょうか？ Has Luke fulfilled his role well?

実は…私はいま、ワールドタイムズでカメラマンをしています。教授の活躍を教えてくれた仕事仲間って、ボストニアス号で世界を旅したときに出会ったドリスさんなんですよ。 By the way... I am now a photographer for the World Times. The colleague who told me about your activities is Doris. We met her when we were travelling around the world on the Bostonius.

教授のもとを去ってから私がワールドタイムズで働き始めたきっかけは、教授との旅がとても楽しかったから。 I started working for the World Times after I quit my job as your assistant, since I enjoyed the journey with you so much.

世界各地でのいろんな人との出会い、見る者を虜にする美しい景色…。それを世界中の人々に伝えたい、いっしかそんな気持ちになって、自然とワールドタイムズ編集部に足を運んでいました。 Meeting all kinds of people in different parts of the world, finding beautiful and captivating landscapes… I wanted to tell people all over the world about these experiences, and this is how I naturally came to visit the World Times editorial office.

今の仕事は、本当に楽しいです！ I really enjoy my current job!

ムスロッホでリボの滝と鍾乳洞の取材をしていたら、長老のシメジイさんから気になるうわさ話を聞いたんです。 While I was reporting for the Ribo Waterfalls and the limestone caves of Musloch, I heard interesting rumours from the elder, Mr Simejii.

そんな話を聞いたら、調査をするしかありませんよね！ After hearing such a story, I simply could not resist investigating!

村人たちの情報を頼りに鍾乳洞の奥を突き進んでいったら…幻の｢神秘の密林｣を発見しました！ After going deeper into the limestone caves, by relying on the information the villagers gave me… The fabled "Mystical Jungle" has been discovered!

ワールドタイムズの大スクープとして一面に大きく取り上げられたので教授もご存知かもしれませんが、これは私の初スクープなんですよ。 You may have already known of it since it was featured as huge news on the front page of the World Times, but this was my first scoop.

記事には書きませんでしたが、密林の奥には古代遺跡が隠されていました。 We did not mention it in the article, but there were ancient ruins hidden deep in the jungle.

ここにもたくさんのナゾが隠されているはずなので、いつか教授にナゾを解いてもらいたいなぁ。 There must be a lot of puzzles hidden there. I hope you will solve them one day.

もしかして、アスラント文明とは別の考古学史上に残る大発見がある…かも？ Maybe there is another major discovery in the history of archaeology that is unrelated to the Azran civilisation… maybe?

そんなスクープを追いかけて世界中を飛び回る毎日ですが、いま追いかけているのは、スラム街に現れた｢ナゾのマスク男｣です。この話、知的好奇心をくすぐられませんか？ I spend my days travelling around the world, chasing this kind of scoop. What I am chasing now is a "Puzzling Masked Man" who has appeared in the slum quarters. Doesn't this story tickle your intellectual curiosity?

お金持ちから金品を盗み、スラム街の子供たちにお金を与える現代の義賊｢マスク男｣。 The Masked Man is a modern-day righteous bandit who steals money and goods from the rich and gives it to the children in the slums.

最初は、この｢マスク男の正体｣をスクープするためカメラ片手に追いかけていましたが、スラム街の子供たちを見ているうちに、１人の記者としてそこに暮らす人々の現状もじっくりと取材したい、と思うようになりました。 At first, I followed this "Masked Man," camera in hand, in order to get a scoop on his identity. But as I watched the children in the slums, I began to think that, as a reporter, I should rather take the time to cover the current situation of the people living there.

スラム街にはたくさんの孤児がいます。私たちを無垢な笑顔で迎えてくれる子、まったく目を合わせてくれない子など、いろんな表情を見せてくれます。 There are many orphans in the slums. We see many different faces, from those who greet us with innocent smiles to those who don't make eye contact at all.

そんな彼らの姿を見ているうちに、昔のことを、ふと思い出してしまいました。 As I watched them, I suddenly remembered something from the past.

私も子供のころ父を失い、孤児になってしまうところでした。しかし、それを救ってくれたのは、おじさまだったんです。 I lost my father as a child and almost became an orphan. But Uncle Leon saved me from that.

あの頃、父を失った私をおじさまはまるで娘のように育ててくれました。 Back then, I had lost my father, and Uncle Leon brought me up as if I were his daughter.

だから、あの場所でおじさまを裏切るわけにはいかなかった。優しかったおじさまを裏切れなかった…。教授に嘘をついていたことは、申し訳ないと思っています。 So this is why I couldn't betray him in that place. I couldn't betray my kind Uncle Leon... I truly am sorry that I lied to you, Professor.

でも、こういうことがあったからこそ、教授に出会えた。人の運命って不思議ですね。 Still, it was because of these things that I met you. The destiny of people is a curious thing, isnt' it?

あ…、今の私を伝えたいと思ってこの手紙を書いたのに、過去の話になっちゃいましたね。私の話は、また教授に会ったときにお話ししますね。 Ah... I wrote this letter in order to tell you how I am now, but all this is about the past. I will tell you my story when we meet again.

というわけで…今は楽しく仕事をしています！ So, all that to say... I really am enjoying my work now!

そうそう、長かった髪を思い切ってばっさり切りました！ Yes, I also cut off my long hair in a very drastic way!

これまでタージェントの一員として生きてきましたが、いま、ワールドタイムズでカメラマンとして働く普通の女性として歩み出すことができた、そんな気がしています。 I have lived my entire life as a member of Targent. But now, I feel that I have been able to step forward as an ordinary woman, who is now working as a photographer for the World Times.

きっといつか、あなたにまた会える、その日まで。 I am sure that one day, we will meet again. Until that day.

ＰＳ．取材中の写真をドリスさんに撮ってもらいました！あっ、後ろにマスク男が…！ P.S. Doris took photos during the interview! Ah, the Masked Man is in the background...!

Emmy Altava

Important translation note: Emmy calls Bronev "oji-sama," all in hiragana, which makes it unclear whether she is related to him by blood or not (おじ means "uncle," but can also just mean "man who is older than the speaker" (at least from what I know)).

The Eternal Diva novel introduces Emmy as "a beautiful woman of Asian lineage" (and yes, I know, Asia is huge with a lot of different lineages, and I don't know either which corner of Asia is being talked about here), so make of that info what you like. In order to leave it as ambiguous as I could, I replaced all instances of "oji-sama" with "Uncle Leon."

There might be a few other translation changes I made, but I think this was the most important one to take note of.

By the way, I actually scanned the whole guidebook, and I will share it when I can (though don't hold your breath, as you probably know I am currently juggling between way too many projects). The scans aren't ready to be shared yet because they were basically done with me not really caring whether the pages would be perfectly straight, upside down, etc, and as such they need some editing.

(I checked and the resolution of the scans is high enough to make it so that editing doesn't hurt the quality in the slightest. I swear that when the scans are finished editing, you won't even realise it and they'll look just as good as what you're seeing above with Emmy's letter).

The editing also includes linking the pages together for aesthetics purposes. Some pages have artworks that spread over both pages, so I'm doing my best to make it look seamless! Here, have an example for the first double page in the book that really does it:

As you can guess, editing each of the 128 pages in order to get this result is time-consuming, and translating that is going to be a doozy. But let's just appreciate how awesome it will be once it's done, eh? :D

Anyway, next up on the blog is going to be the Eternal Diva novel translation. I'm still working on getting some buffer done, but hopefully the first "chapter" will get out soon! I'd like to post on Saturdays. Let's cross our fingers for tomorrow. Or next week, if today's translation is enough to satiate you all for now!

Had a nice Xmas eve dinner last night and today I’m not going to do anything but start drinking wine, having cheese at noon and lie on a couch and open presents 🎁🎄🥂

Kitty got a nice present from Santa this year 🤶

Probably the best cat toy I’ve ever seen and most definitely effective (only if you are a lazy cat parents) and you can buy it on Amazon!

Merry Christmas to everyone!!! 🥰

昨日は仕事の後にイブのディナーパーティ。今日(12/25) はお休みなので昼間からワインやチーズでまったり何もせず過ごしてまーす。あと2日仕事で今年は終わり！

キティに買ったおもちゃがなんと大ヒット！Amazonで買えます！めちゃくちゃおすすめ〜。😉

Ai's Solo Best Album "Ambivalent" Tweets Translation (31.07.2024-14.08.2024)

Happy Birthday Ai!

Translator: Nadie Proofreader: Raz

31.07.2024

今日という瞬間を楽しみにしてた。みんなも同じ気持ちかな？

I was looking forward to today. Did you all feel the same way?

待っていてくれた人もいるみたいだね。本当にありがとう。こうしてみんなと会えるなんて、まるで夢みたいだ。しかも2週間も。

It looks like some of you have been waiting for this moment as well. I'm very grateful. It feels like a dream to be able to interact with all of you for an entire two weeks.

美風藍のソロベストアルバム「アンビバレント」の発売を記念して、みんなと過ごせることになったんだ。一緒に素敵な時間にしようね。

To celebrate the release of my Solo Best Album "Ambivalent", I'll spend time with all of you. Let's have a wonderful time.

ボクの日常や感じたことを知ってもらうことで、音楽に込めた想いがより伝わると思うから、よかったら見守っていてほしい。

I believe that knowing about my daily life and the things I feel will help you understand the emotions I put into my music. So I'd like you to stick around.

遅い時間まで付き合ってくれて嬉しかった。また朝に会いに来るよ。ゆっくり休んでね。おやすみ。

I'm happy you accompanied me until this late hour. I'll meet you again in the morning. Rest well, good night.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。よく眠れた？

Good morning. Did you sleep well?

ボクは会えるのが嬉しくて、いつもより早く準備したよ。それから、みんながくれたメッセージに目を通してた。

I was so happy to see everyone again that I got ready faster than usual. Then I looked at everyone's replies.

今日はこれから長めの仕事があるから、夜まで来られないかも。でも会えない時間さえも愛おしく感じるのは、みんなのおかげだね。

I have a long day of work today, so I won't be able to make it back until the evening. But thanks to all of you, even the time we are apart is dear to me.

予定のある人も、休みの人も、いい1日になることを祈ってるよ。ボクも頑張ってくる。

I wish you all a good day, whether you have plans for today or a day off. I'll do my best too.

それじゃ、行ってきます。

On that note, I'm off.

✄------------ PM 7:00 ------------✄

アルバムのサンプルを受け取ってきたよ。実際に出来上がったものを手にすると感慨深いね。

I got a sample of my album. It's really emotional to finally get something you created.

みんなの手元に届くのはもう少し先だけど、開けてみてもいいかな？

I know you guys will have to wait a little longer till you get yours but is it okay if I open it now?

もともと、開封する時はみんなと一緒にって決めてたんだ。なんだかドキドキするね。

I had originally decided to unbox it with everyone together. I feel a little nervous.

パッケージやブックレット、そしてメッセージ入りのジャケットカード。もちろんCD本体も、きっと満足してもらえるんじゃないかな。

I'm sure you will be pleased by the packaging and booklet, as well as the jacket card that has a message on it, and of course, the CD itself.

発売まで待ちきれない人や、まだボクのアルバムの詳細を知らない人は、試聴動画をチェックしてみて。アルバムの雰囲気を感じられるよ。

For those of you who can't wait and those of you who don't know about my album, I suggest you watch the preview video. It captures its atmosphere.

確認しなきゃいけないことがあるから、少しの間、離れるね。

There's something I need to confirm, so I'm going to leave for a while.

✄------------ PM 9:00 ------------✄

お待たせ。

Thanks for the wait.

アルバムのサンプルに関する問い合わせが来てね。別の仕事の連絡がメインではあったんだけど、その早さにボクも驚いた。仲間もチェックしてくれてるんだね。

I was contacted with some questions about the sample of the album. The message I received was mainly about my other job, so I was surprised by how quickly they contacted me. It seems that my colleagues are checking out the sample as well.

まぁ、ボクもメンバーのここでの様子を確認してたけど。それぞれすごく充実した2週間を過ごしていたと思う。そんな先人たちの意見を聞いて、タグを考えてみたんだ。

Well, I confirmed what the other members were doing when they were at this moment. From what I can tell each of them spent a fulfilling two weeks. I took note of their advice and came up with a hashtag.

ボクに伝えたい想いや、君が日々感じてることを教えてほしい。アルバムについてじゃなくてもOKだよ。難しく考えすぎないで、いろいろ話しかけてくれたら嬉しいな。 #藍のアンビバレントな愛

I want you to share your emotions and your everyday feelings with me. It doesn't have to be about my album. Don't think too much about it, I'm happy as long as you tell me a lot of things. #Ai'sAmbivalentLove

早速、タグを使ってくれてありがとう。メッセージも人によっていろんな表現があって、見ていて楽しい。

Thanks for immediately using my hashtag. The messages expressed vary by each person so it's fun to read them.

みんなからの意見を今後の参考にしたいから、じっくりチェックしようかな。また明日ね。

I want to consult everyone's opinions later, so I'll check them carefully. See you tomorrow.

01.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。日付が変わって8月になったね。

Good morning. The date has changed and it is now August.

新しい月が来ると新鮮な気持ちになる。昨日から状況が大きく変化したわけでもないのに、不思議だよね。

I feel refreshed when the month changes, even though the circumstances haven't changed much. It's so strange.

午前中はオフだから #藍のアンビバレントな愛を見て過ごそうと思う。みんなの朝の過ごし方を教えてほしいな。取り入れられそうなことがあったら、試したいから。

I'm free this morning, so I think I'll take a look at the #Ai'sAmbivalentLove hashtag. Tell me how you spend your morning. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to try them out.

いろいろなことをインプットする時間も重要だからね。仕事の前、お昼頃にはまた会いに来られるはず。それまで、お互い良い時間にしよう。

Time is important to take in a lot of input. I should be back around noon before my next job. Until then I wish us both a nice time.

✄------------ AM 12:00 -----------✄

レイジが早速アルバムを受け取りに来たよ。

Reiji came immediately to get a copy of my album.

マラカス振らないとダメなのかな。

Does he have to play his maracas?

「せっかくのお祝いなんだから、景気良くいかないとね」だってさ。言葉だけでも十分気持ちは伝わる気がするけど。

"We have to celebrate with gusto!" he said. I'm pretty sure words would've been enough for me.

これからお互い予定があるから、あまり話せないのは残念だけど、忙しい中来てくれただけで嬉しいね。

Unfortunately, we're both busy right now, so we had to cut our conversation short. I'm happy that he took the time to visit me, though.

プレゼントを置いて、マラカスを鳴らしながら去って行った。相変わらず賑やかだね。

He received his gift and went off playing his maracas. He is as lively as ever.

ボクも仕事の準備をしないと。アルバムの魅力を伝えられるようにね。じゃあ、また。

I also have to get ready for work and do my best to convey the charm of my album. Until next time.

✄------------ PM 8:00 ------------✄

仕事が終わったよ。家に戻ってゆっくりしようかな。

I finished my work. Time to go home and relax.

予定変更。これからどこかに食事をしに行くことになった。

Change of plans. I'll be on my way to have some food.

お昼に会った時、やけにあっさりしてたから油断してた。レイジがそんな簡単に引き下がるわけがないよね。

When I met Reiji at noon, our talk was so brief that I let my guard down. I should've known that Reiji wouldn't let me go that easily.

ボクより喜んでるんじゃないかってくらい、テンションが高くてすでにうるさい。これは長くなりそう。

He's talking so much that I'm pretty sure he's more enthusiastic about my own album than me. Looks like this is going to take a while.

帰れる時間がわからないから、先に挨拶をしておくね。今日も1日付き合ってくれてありがとう。また明日。

I don't know when I'll be home, so I'll excuse myself now. Thank you for spending today with me. See you tomorrow.

02.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日も1日暑い日になりそうだから、みんなも気を付けてね。

Good morning. Today seems to be another hot day, so please be careful.

昨日、みんなに #藍のアンビバレントな愛で教えてもらった「朝の過ごし方」についてだけど、あることを実践してみようと思う。

Since I got a lot of suggestions for how to spend the morning under the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove yesterday, I think I'll put a certain thing into practice.

それは朝食を摂るようにすること。朝食を大切にしてるって意見が多かったから、ボクも真似したくて。いきなり料理は難しいから手軽に食べられるグラノーラにしたよ。

That certain thing is breakfast. Many of you have said how important breakfast is, so I wanted to try it too. Whipping up some cooking out of nowhere would be too complicated, so I went with a simple granola.

今日はベーシックなグラノーラにドライイチジクをトッピングしてみた。自然な甘さとプチプチとした食感がプラスされて美味しそうでしょ？

Today, I added dried figs on top of plain granola. They enhance the natural sweetness and chewy texture. Sounds delicious, don't you think?

食べ終わったらそのまま仕事に出かけるとするよ。みんなも素敵な朝の時間を過ごしてね。

As soon as I finish eating, I'll go to work. I hope you all have a pleasant morning too.

✄------------ PM 6:00 ------------✄

事務所の会議室で待ち合わせ中。誰が来るか、予想してみて？

I'm about to meet someone in a conference room at the agency. Want to take a guess who's coming?

ヒントは「真面目」かな。他の特徴も教えてあげたいけど、どれも個性的だから難しいかも。

Hint: It's someone serious. I'd like to give you more traits, but it's difficult because they're all specific.

深々と一礼をして、目の前の椅子に掛けた。なんだか面接が始まるような緊張感がある。

He bowed deeply and sat down in the chair across from me. This kind of tension reminds me of a job interview.

ビジュアルがアートのようだって、完成度の高さについて熱く語ってくれてる。細かいところにまで触れるから、まるで解説者みたい。

"The visuals look like art," he said, as he spoke passionately about the high level of perfection. Getting into the smallest details, he looked like an analyst.

そのままの言葉でみんなにも伝えたいんだけど、照れるからやめておく。

I'd like to share with you what else he said to me, but it's a little embarrassing, so I won't

正解はマサトだよ。言動からわかった人も多いみたいだね。本当に知れば知るほど、違った面が見えてきて面白い。

The correct answer is Masato. Many seemed able to guess it from his behavior. The more you know him, the more interesting sides you see.

今日はアルバムについて話したいから、時間を長めにとってあるんだ。マサトの話は興味深いし、参考になる。仲間との時間を楽しんでくるね。

I set aside a block of time today because I want to talk about my album. What Masato told me is very fascinating, and it'll serve as a useful reference. I'm going to enjoy my time with my colleague.

✄------------ PM 10:00 -----------✄

少し前に帰ってきて、マサトとのトークを記録に残してた。特に印象的なことをメモしておいたよ。

I just got home a little while ago and documented what Masato told me earlier. I took notes on things that were particularly memorable.

今は、レイジがくれたお茶を淹れてるところ。お茶といっても少し変わってて、全部食べられる素材でできてるみたい。素材がごろっと丸ごと入ってて面白い。

I'm brewing some tea that Reiji gave me. I say "tea," but it's actually made of and filled with entirely edible material. How interesting.

3種類のお茶から、今日は赤い花びらが特徴的なものを選んでみた。氷砂糖も入ってて、誰かさんが好きそう。綺麗なピンク色で酸味と甘さが心地良い。すごくほっとする。

Out of the three types of tea, I chose the one with the distinctive red flower petals today. It also contains sugar candy. I know someone who would like that. It also has a rich pink color and a pleasant sweet-sour flavor. It's really soothing.

ここ最近、事務所の仲間とアルバムについて話すことが多いけど、まだみんなの前ではあまり話をしてないよね？早く楽曲も聴きたいし、それにまつわる話も知りたいって思ってくれてるんじゃないかな。

I've talked a lot about my album with my colleagues at the agency, but I haven't really talked about it in front of you, have I? I bet you can't wait to hear the songs and the story behind it.

待たせてごめんね。発売までまだ時間もあるし、ボクのことをよく知ってもらってからの方が、曲に対する理解も深まるって考えてるんだ。

Sorry for keeping you waiting. There is still some time until the release, so people who get to know me better in that time will also have a better understanding of my songs, that is what I thought.

ボクはミステリアスだって言われることが多い。特にプライベートについてはあまりイメージが湧かないみたい。だから、そういう部分を今回は見せていきたいんだ。

I'm often called mysterious. My private life in particular seems to be difficult for others to imagine. So I'd like to take this opportunity to show you more of that side of me.

よかったら、タグでみんなの意見を教えてね。君が知りたいことを伝えていけたらいいな。

#藍のアンビバレントな愛

If you'd like, you can share your opinions using the hashtag. You can also ask me questions.

#Ai'sAmbivalentLove

みんなの意見を見てたら、話したいことがどんどん出てきた。じっくり検討してから、改めて伝えることにするね。それじゃ、また明日。

Seeing everyone's opinions makes me want to talk about a lot of things. I want to think about them carefully and get back to you. Well, see you tomorrow.

03.08.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。土曜日だからお休みの人も多いのかな？

Good morning. It's Saturday, so I assume many of you have the day off?

朝は慌ただしいことも多いと思うけど、たまには空を見上げてみて。

I believe many people have very hectic mornings, but try to look up at the sky from time to time.

君とボクは、同じ空を見上げてる。そう考えるだけで、幸せな気持ちにならない？

You and I are looking at the same sky. Doesn't it make you happy to think about it like that?

君のことを考えてると時間があっという間に過ぎる。もう少しこうしていたいけど、そろそろ出かけないと。また後でね。

Time flies by fast when you are on my mind. I'd like to stay a little longer, but I really have to go. See you later.

✄------------ AM 12:00 -----------✄

お昼休みにオトヤが会いに来てくれた。同じタイミングで事務所にいたらしくて、駆けつけてくれたんだ。

Otoya has come to see me at lunchtime. He happened to be at the agency at the same time as me, so he rushed to meet me.

なかなかスケジュールが合わなくて、オトヤにアルバムを渡せるのは少し先になるかもって思ってたから、よかった。

Our schedules haven't been lining up, so I'm thankful. I thought I'd have to give him my album much later.

ジャケットとボクを見比べてる。すごく顔が近いけど、何を見てるんだろう。

He's comparing me to the cover. His face is so close. What is he looking at?

目がキラキラで唇もウルウルですごい、だって。特に目がインパクト大らしい。アルバムのインタビューでもビジュアルのポイントとして「眼差し」を挙げてるから、オトヤとは気が合うのかも。

He said, "Amazing, your eyes are so sparkly and your lips are so glossy!" My eyes especially have left a lasting impression on him. In the interview for my album, I mentioned that I refined my "gaze" for the cover visual. I think Otoya and I can get along well.

インタビューを熟読してる。読みながら、質問がたくさん飛んでくる。少し難しい表現も理解しようとしてくれる姿勢が嬉しいね。

He's reading the interview intently and he keeps throwing a lot of questions my way. He also wants to understand the more difficult expressions, which delights me.

ということで、オトヤのおすすめはインタビュー。読み応えがあって感動するから。オトヤがそう言ってくれて、自信がついたよ。

With that in mind, Otoya recommends my interview. It's emotional and definitely worth reading. Hearing him say that really boosts my confidence.

休憩時間が終わるって急いで帰っていった。ボクも仕事の準備をしないといけないから、行くね。聞いてくれてありがとう。

His break was ending, so he hurried back. I also must prepare for my next job. Thank you for listening, I'll be going.

✄------------ PM 11:00 -----------✄

#藍のアンビバレントな愛に目を通してたら、こんな時間になってた。明日は1日オフだから、いつもより遅くても問題はないんだけどね。

I was looking at the #Ai'sAmbivalentLove hashtag and before I realized it, it got this late. I'm off tomorrow, so staying up later than usual is not going to hurt.

みんなからもらった意見や質問をまとめながら、現時点でアルバムについて答えられることを話そうかな。

I guess now is the time to answer the questions and talk about the opinions about my album that I collected.

まず、新曲について聞きたいことがたくさんあるみたいだね。楽曲については、フルで聴いてもらってから話をしようと思ってる。発売日まで楽しみに待っててね。

First of all, a lot of people wanted to know more about the new songs. I think you should listen to the full version first before we continue this conversation. With that said, please look forward to the release day.

ビジュアルについての質問や感想も多かった。お昼にビジュアルについては少し触れたけど、また時間を取ってどこかで話すよ。撮影秘話とかね。

I also saw a lot of reaction to the cover visual. I touched on that a little bit during noontime, but I want to take the time to talk about it again some other day. For example, I could tell you about the behind the scenes of the photo shoot.

今回のソロアルバムのコンセプトは「イメージからの逸脱」。ボクの新しい一面を見せたいって思った。

The concept for this solo album is "Deviation from My Image", so I wanted to show you a new side of me.

いろいろな要素を組み合わせてるから、どう新しいのか一言では言い表せないんだけど。手に取ってくれた人が意外に思うところや、発見するものがあったら嬉しい。

It's hard to describe in just a few words what makes it new, because I've combined so many different elements. I'd be happy if those of you who buy my album discover something new or surprising.

いくら次の日がオフでも、あまり遅くまで起きてるのもよくないか。明日も予定があるし。

Even though tomorrow is my day off, it wouldn't be good to stay up too late. I also have plans for tomorrow.

君の夢が見られるといいな。おやすみ。

It would be nice if I could see your dreams. Good night.

04.08.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日はオフだから外出するよ。少し早めに出て、散策しながらお土産を探しに行くつもり。

Good morning. Today is my day off, so I'm going out. I'm leaving a little early to look for some presents while I'm taking a walk.

プレゼントをする時って、毎回すごく悩む。相手に喜んでもらえるものを選ぶのって難しいよね。ある程度、過去の傾向から推測することはできるけど。

I struggle a lot when it comes to gifts. It's not easy to pick something the other person will like. But to some extent I can make guesses based on previously shown tendencies.

相手の趣味趣向だけじゃなくて、時と場合によっても変わるだろうし、季節も考慮する必要がある。いざお店に行っても、望む物が置いてなかったりする場合もあるしね。

Not only will it depend on the recipient's preferences and tastes, but it will also change depending on the time and occasion, not to mention the season. And even when you decide on something, sometimes it isn't in stock.

ここで考えていても始まらないから、出かけてみる。また状況を報告するよ。

I won't get anything done if I keep thinking about it. I'll report back to you.

✄------------ PM 3:00 ------------✄

メンテナンスが終わって、心身共にリフレッシュできた。今はボクが持ってきたお土産を2人で食べてる。

I finished my maintenance and now I feel both mentally and physically refreshed. I brought snacks as a present for someone and now we're sharing them.

彼は保護者のような存在で、昔からフォローしてもらってるんだ。本当に助かってる。

He's like a guardian figure to me and has been supporting me for a long time now. He really helps me out a lot.

アルバムを渡したら、彼のデスクから一番よく見える位置に飾ってくれた。いろいろな資料に交じって、これまでのCDはもちろん、ボクの載った雑誌や出演した映像なんかも保管されてる。

When I gave him a copy of my album, he put it in the best place on his desk where it could be seen and appreciated. Of course, among various materials, he keeps my past CDs, as well as magazines and performances in which I have appeared.

彼は研究者だから記録を残すのが趣味みたいなものなんだけど、少しだけくすぐったいね。

He's a researcher, so keeping track of things is kind of like a hobby for him. It's still a little embarrassing for me though.

アルバムを聴きながら、思い出を振り返ろうと思う。そしてこれからのことについても話そうかな。

I'm thinking of talking about memories and my future while listening to my album.

✄------------ PM 9:00 ------------✄

ただいま。いいオフを過ごせたよ。みんなはどんな1日だった？

I'm back. I enjoyed my free time. How was your day so far?

#藍のアンビバレントな愛でもいろいろ教えてくれてありがとう。思い思いのメッセージや写真は、見ていて楽しい。君のことを知れて嬉しいよ。

Thanks for teaching me a lot under the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove. I enjoy seeing all the individual messages and pictures. Getting to know you makes me happy.

ボクはアルバムの制作過程を振り返って、アルバムに関するコ��ントを収録した時のことを思い出した。

Thinking back to the process of creating my album, I recalled the Commentary CD that I recorded for.

これがコメント収録の時の様子。4つの質問に答えたよ。他のメンバーも同じ質問に答えてるはずだから、どんなことを話したのか聞いてみたいな。

Here are the questions for the CD. I answered all four of them. The other members should have answered the same questions, so I really want to know how they've answered.

ソロベストアルバムの連動特典になってるから、気になる人はHPをチェックしてみてね。このコメントでしか話していないこともあるよ。

The CD will be included as a bonus with the album, so if you're interested, check out the homepage. I also talked about things other than those questions.

明日の準備をしないと。週明けも元気に過ごせるように、みんなも早く休んでね。おやすみ。

I must prepare for tomorrow. Get some sleep soon so that you can have a fresh start to the new week. Good night.

05.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。週の始まりに君に挨拶できるのはとても力になるよ。

Good morning. Greeting you to start the week really does energize me.

今日も暑い日になりそうだから、 #藍のアンビバレントな愛でもらっていた、暑さ対策について答えようかな。

Since today seems to be another hot day, it's the perfect opportunity to talk about methods of how to protect yourself from the heat which I've seen under the #Ai'sAmbivalentLove hashtag.

根本的なことだけど、体を冷やすのが大切だと思う。部屋にいる時はエアコンでしっかり温度管理をする。外出する時は直射日光を避けられるルートで行ったり、帽子とか快適に過ごせるアイテムも使ってるよ。

I know it's a basic aspect, but I think it's very important to keep your body heat down. When I'm in my room, I use the air conditioner for temperature management. When I'm outside, I try to avoid walking in direct sunlight. I also wear hats or use other items that help me feel comfortable in the heat.

みんなもこまめに水分補給をして、体調には気を付けてね。

Be sure to take care of your physical condition and to stay well hydrated.

✄------------ PM 1:00 ------------✄

JR池袋駅に広告が掲載されているみたい。みんなに気に入ってもらえたら嬉しいな。

Looks like my advertisement has been put up at the Ikebukuro station. I hope you all like it.

収録された楽曲のタイトルが手書きで書かれていたり、ジャケットビジュアルにボクのサインが入ったデザインだから目立つんじゃないかな。

I think the design is quite eye-catching because the song titles are handwritten and my signature is on the cover.

アルバム発売の思い出に、時間がある人はチェックしてみてね。みんなからの報告を楽しみにしてる。

If you have the time, go check it out to celebrate the release of my album. I look forward to your reports.

✄------------ PM 5:00 ------------✄

仕事終わりに、セシルとアルバムについて話してた。CD自体は家に持ち帰ってから大切に開けるらしい。

After work I talked to Cecil about my album. Apparently he wants to take the CD and open it carefully at home.

お礼にって、テラリウムをもらった。クリスタルが一緒に配置されてる。ボクのアルバムをイメージして作ってくれたみたい。瓶の中に小さな美しい世界が広がってる。

In exchange for the gift, he gave me a terrarium. It has crystals in it. Apparently he created it, inspired by my album cover. A beautiful little world unfolds inside of it.

育て方やメンテナンスの仕方も教えてくれたよ。初心者にも管理しやすいものを選んでくれたんだって。ボクも勉強してみるつもり。

Cecil taught me how to maintain and take care of it. He said he chose a beginner friendly one. I want to work hard on it.

これから、今度発売されるグッズのサンプルを一緒に開封するよ。ボクがセシルを撮影した写真が使われてるシリーズのもの。ボクたちの手書きの文字や、イラストも使用されてる。

We are now unboxing the samples for the soon to be released merchandise. It's for the series for which I took the photo of Cecil. Our handwritten messages and drawings will also be used for this.

セシルとステッカーを交換することにした。おにぎりのイラストがすごくかわいい。何とも言えない味のある表情をしてるよね。どこに貼るか考えないと。

Cecil and I exchanged our stickers with each other. The onigiri sketch looks really cute. Its expression has this indescribable charm. I'll have to think about where to put this sticker.

セシルはいつも持ち歩いてる手帳に貼るんだって。目に入る度に、ボクのことを思い出せるかららしい。ボクもこのステッカーにふさわしい特別な場所を見つけるつもり。

Cecil says he will put it on his notebook that he always carries with him. So every time he sees it, he will think of me. I'll make sure to find a special place for his sticker, too.

ボクはもう少し用事があるから、作業に戻るよ。

I still have some things to do. Time to get back to work.

✄------------ PM 7:00 ------------✄

リュウヤに書類を渡しに来たら、食事に誘われた。土用の丑の日だから、うなぎを食べに行くんだって。

Ryuya came to give me some documents and invited me to get something to eat. Today is the　Midsummer Day of the Ox so we're going to eat eel, he said.

季節の物を食べるのは体にいいとされているし、リュウヤのおすすめの店なら間違いないよね。こういう行事を大切にできるようになりたい。

Eating seasonal food is considered good for the body, and it certainly can't be bad if it comes from a place that Ryuya recommends. I want to learn how to cherish special traditions.

リュウヤとじっくり話せる機会はそうないから、いろいろ相談してみようと思う。明日はいつもより少し早めに会いに来るよ。じゃあね。

Since it's not often that we can take our time talking to each other, I think I'll try to use this opportunity to ask for some advice. I'll be back earlier than usual tomorrow. Until then.

06.08.

✄------------ AM 7:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日はいつもと違った体験ができそうだから、朝からワクワクしてる。

Good morning. Looks like I'm going to experience something new today. I've been excited all morning.

みんなもそういう経験はある？良かったら #藍のアンビバレントな愛で教えてね。みんながどんなことに何を感じるのか知りたいな。

Do you also have moments like this? Feel free to share them at #Ai'sAmbivalentLove. I want to know what kind of emotions you feel in different situations.

待ち合わせの時間になるから向かうね。終わったら連絡する。

My next appointment is approaching, so I have to go. I'll let you know when I'm back.

✄------------ AM 10:00 -----------✄

ただいま。素敵な時間を過ごせたよ。行ってみたい場所だったから、すごく嬉しい。みんなを近くに感じられた気がする。

I'm back. I had a wonderful time. It was a place I really wanted to check out, so I was very happy I got to go there. I felt like I was close to all of you when I was there.

オープン前のSHINING STORE 池袋を見学させてもらった。来店の記念にパネルにサイン。それから、ステッカーにメッセージを残してきたよ。どこにあるか探してみて。

I was able to inspect the SHINING STORE in Ikebukuro before it opened. I signed the board of the promotional booth to commemorate my visit and then left a message on a sticker. Go and try finding it.

Text on image: "I'm glad to see you! Let's create some memories of this summer together." -Ai Mikaze

グッズや展示を見たり、写真も撮らせてもらったよ。みんなと同じような体験ができて楽しかった。

I looked at the merchandise and the displays and took some pictures. I must say, I very much enjoyed sharing the same experience as everyone else

それともう1つ。アニメイト池袋本店のCDフロアにある、ボクのソロアルバムのコーナーも見せてもらった。

One more thing. They showed me the corner for my album on the CD floor of the Ikebukuro Animate store.

ここにボクのアルバムが並ぶんだと思うと、リリースの実感が湧いてきたよ。たくさんの人にCDを手に取ってもらえますようにって想いを込めてきた。

As I imagined my album being displayed there, the realization hit me that it was going to be released soon. There I wished that many people would get a copy of it.

コーナーにもサインとコメントを残させてもらったから、お店に立ち寄った時はチェックしてみてね。

I also left a comment on the sign there, so check the store's opening hours and go see it.

次の仕事に向かうよ。CD発売の準備をしないと。休憩が取れたら、また会いに来るね。

I have to make some preparations for the CD release so I'm heading to my next job. I'll be back when I take a break.

✄------------ PM 6:00 ------------✄

今日の主役であるトキヤから連絡があったよ。ロケ先から電話をくれた。忙しいはずなのに、本当に律儀だよね。

I got a call from Tokiya, the star of the day. He called me from where he was having a film shoot. He really is considerate even when he's so busy.

ロケに行く前に事務所に寄るって聞いたから、バースデープレゼントとソロアルバムを預けておいたんだ。

I heard that he would go to the agency before he heads to his film shoot, so I left his birthday present and my solo album there.

ボクからのプレゼントは、誕生日である「6日」にちなんで「6冊」の本にした。それぞれ違ったジャンルの本になってる。本を選ぶにあたって、ボク自身も目を通して、面白いと感じたものにしたよ。

I gave him six books because his birthday is on the 6th. Each of a different genre. I had read them myself and picked the ones I thought were interesting.

6冊全て封筒に入れて、外からは何の本かわからないようにしてある。こんな時に読むといいよっていうヒントだけを書いてね。そのまま渡すだけだと面白くないかなと思って。

Since giving them as they are would be boring, I wrapped each of the six books in covers so he won't be able to tell which book it is. I just wrote suggestions on when he should read each book on the covers.

トキヤも気に入ってくれたみたい。いつもより声のトーンが高くて、表情を見なくても喜んでるのが伝わってきたよ。

It looks like Tokiya is fascinated by this idea. Even without seeing his expression, his higher tone of voice clearly told me how happy he was.

アルバムはロケの移動中にすでに聴いていて、新曲の両方に衝撃を受けたって言ってくれた。休憩時間を全て使って、曲の感想を語ってくれたよ。

He told me that he listened to my album on the way to his filming location and was equally stunned by both of my new songs. He then spent his whole break telling me his thoughts on them.

ボクも休憩時間が終わりそう。深夜になっちゃうけど、みんなと発売日を一緒に迎えたいから、よかったら時間を空けておいてね。

My break is also about to end. It's getting late, but I want to wait with everybody until it's release day, so please wait a little longer if you can.

✄------------ PM 11:00 -----------✄

たくさんの人が集まってくれてるみたいだね。 #藍のアンビバレントな愛もリアルタイムで目を通してるよ。

It seems like many people have gathered. I'm live checking the #Ai'sAmbivalentLove hashtag right now.

ボクのために時間を作ってくれて本当にありがとう。みんなが一緒にいてくれるから、喜びもその分大きくなる。

Thank you so much for the time you spent on my behalf. Being with all of you makes me that much happier.

07.08.

早くその瞬間を迎えたいような、もう少しこのドキドキを感じていたいような……。まさにアンビバレントな気分だよ。

I want to get to that moment as quickly as possible, but I also want to feel this excitement for a little while longer... I feel so ambivalent.

君に愛を歌い続けて、ソロベストアルバム「アンビバレント」が生まれた。ボクたちの夢が形となったんだ。

My Solo Best Album "Ambivalent" was created because I want to continue singing my love to you. It's the embodiment of our dreams.

やっとみんなに届けられると思うと感無量だよ。アイドルとして活動を始めてからこれまでの思い出がたくさん詰まった1枚になった。

I'm filled with so much emotion now that my album can finally reach all of you. All my memories spanning from when I began being an idol to now are all packed into this one CD.

これも全部、みんなが応援してくれたおかげ。そのお返しに、最高のアルバムを贈るよ。君の期待と想像を超える仕上がりになってるから、見かけたら手に取ってほしい。

And it's all because of your support. To thank you, I want to give you the best album. I know it's going to exceed your expectations and imagination, so please get a copy if you happen to see it.

喜びの余韻にずっと浸っていたいけど、そろそろ一緒に休もうか。記念すべきこの日を、ベストな状態で過ごせるように。

I'd like to linger in this happiness forever, but in order for us to spend this day in the best possible shape, it's time for us to get some rest.

おやすみ。

Good night.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日は控え室から朝の挨拶をしてるよ。スタンバイ中なんだ。

Good morning. I'm greeting you from the waiting room today. I'm on standby.

新曲を披露するから、声のチューニングをしてた。どちらもいつもと違った歌い方を取り入れてるからね。みんなはどう感じたかな。曲を聴いたら #藍のアンビバレントな愛に感想をもらえたら嬉しい。

I've been tuning my voice because I'll be performing my new songs. Both use a new vocal technique. What did you think? Once you've heard the songs, I'd love to hear your impressions using the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove.

声がかかったよ。スタジオに向かうね。成功するように祈ってて。

I've been called. I'm going to the studio now. Wish me luck.

✄------------ AM 12:00 -----------✄

初のソロベストアルバム「アンビバレント」が発売中だよ。美風藍の意外な魅力が発見できる新曲「アンビバレント」と「夢奏-むそう-」2曲も収録されてる。ボクのことをもっと知ってほしいんだ。 #アンビバレント #美風藍

My first Solo Best Album "Ambivalent" is now available. The new album includes two new songs, "Ambivalent" and "Musou", which show an unexpected side of Ai Mikaze. I want you to get to know me better. #Ambivalent #AiMikaze

Text on image: "Today is a special day for me because my Solo Best Album 'Ambivalent' is being released. I want as many people as possible to listen to it. - Ai Mikaze"

発売を祝うメッセージや新曲の感想、しっかり届いてるよ。いつも支えてくれてありがとう。ボクは君がいてくれるから、こうして歌い続けられるんだ。

I read your congratulations for the release and your impressions of my new songs. Thank you for always supporting me. The reason I can continue to sing like this is because of all of you.

ボクのことをあまり知らない人にも聴いてもらいたい。このアルバムを聴くことで、ボクのことを深く理解してもらえるはずだから。少しでも興味があったら手に取ってみて。

I hope that people who don't know me will listen to my album as well. Once they do, they should be able to get a good understanding of who I am. Please consider getting a copy if I've piqued your interest.

ナツキとショウが応援に駆けつけてくれた。発売日に3人でお祝いしようって約束してたんだ。

Natsuki and Syo rushed over to cheer me on. We've made plans to celebrate the release together.

ナツキは新曲が気に入ったみたい。ずっと聴いていたいからって、リピート再生してるよ。聴く度に発見があるんだって。音楽のことになると入り込んじゃうところは変わらないね。

Natsuki seems to like my new songs. He keeps saying he'd like to listen to them forever, so he puts them on repeat. Once it's about music, he gets absorbed in it. This side of him never changes.

ショウは、どこからどうやってこんな歌声出してるんだ！？って、驚いてる。素直なリアクションは最高の賛辞だね。ショウも知らない一面を見せられたってことだから。

Syo was surprised about the new side I showed in the album and asked, "Where and how did you do those vocals?!" Such honest reactions really are the highest form of praise.

2人の先輩として、面目躍如といった感じかな。同じアイドルとして、表現者として、いつまでも刺激を与えられる存在でありたい。

I want to live up to my title as their senpai. I always want to be a source of innovation as a fellow idol and artist.

これから2人が差し入れてくれたうどんを食べるんだ。まさか食事の準備をしてくれてるなんて思わなかった。その気持ちが、はなまるだね。

We're going to eat the udon they brought. I didn't expect them to get meals for all of us. This feeling gets a hanamaru.

トッピングは2人がボクのために選んでくれたんだって。揚げ物が3つも乗ってて、すごくボリュームがある。でもレモンを絞ると酸味が加わって、すっきり食べられそう。

The two of them picked my toppings together, they said. Because of the three fried pieces, the total volume of my dish is quite large. I can make this easier to eat by adding some acidic flavor with lemon juice.

こうしていると、ナツキのソロベストアルバムの発売日を思い出すね。ボクと同じ日付だから。その時は、ナツキのオフの日に3人で登山にも行った。

Spending time like this reminds me of the release date of Natsuki's Solo Best Album. It happens to have the same release date as mine. Back then, the three of us went mountain climbing on Natsuki's day off.

ショウのアルバムの時も3人で遊んだんだけど、わずかな情報でカフェを探し回ったりして大変だった記憶がある。考えてみると、大切な時には必ず3人で集まってるね。

We were also together during the time of Syo's album release. I remember when we were struggling to find a cafe with very little information. Now that I think about it, the three of us were always together during special occasions.

食べないと麺が伸びちゃうから、食事に戻るよ。夜には楽曲の話をしに来る。待っててね。

It's time to go back to eating, or else my noodles will get soggy. I'll be back at night to talk about the songs. Wait for me.

✄------------ PM 10:00 -----------✄

お待たせ。約束通り、アルバムの表題曲である「アンビバレント」について触れていこうと思う。

Sorry for making you wait. As promised, I'm here to talk about the title track of my album "Ambivalent".

もう聴いてくれたかな？まだって人も大丈夫だよ。ボクの話を踏まえて聴いてもらえたら、より深く理解できるはずだから。

Have you given it a listen? It's okay if some of you haven't. If you listen to what I'm about to say, you'll have a better understanding when you hear it.

「アンビバレント」は、ボクという存在自体がテーマなんだ。自分とは何なのか？理想と現実の狭間で揺れ動く気持ちが不安定なメロディやアレンジで表現されてる。

The theme of "Ambivalent" is my existence. That's why the arrangement of the melody was made to sound fragile—to show the fluctuating feelings between idealism and reality and to express the question of my existence.

他者が持つイメージと実際のボクとの違い。どちらも自分であること。それを受け入れるまでの葛藤を歌詞に描いた。

It's about the gap between the real me and the image that others have of me. Both are me. I tried to convey the conflict that I had coming to terms with that in the lyrics.

でもその葛藤は、決してネガティブなものではない。痛みや苦しみさえも、ボクがボクであることの証なんだって思えたから。そう思わせてくれたのは君のおかげ。

However, that conflict isn't a bad thing. I believe that all the pain and suffering ultimately proves that I'm me. The reason I came to think that way was because of you.

自分をさらけ出すことは、怖さもあったけど、可能性を信じて前に踏み出してみたんだ。君にボクのことをもっと知って欲しいから……。

Opening up like this is scary, but I tried believing in the possibilities and took a step forward. After all, I want you to know more about me...

この曲を歌って、自分の殻を破ることができた。普段とは違う言葉で綴った歌詞。そして、低い音域を使った歌声で感じてもらえるんじゃないかな。

By singing this song, I was able to shed my shell. For example, I used different words and phrases I normally wouldn't use, and I sang in a lower range than usual.

語りたいことはもっとあるけど、ここまでにしておくね。音楽に対しての感じ方は人それぞれだから、君の考え方を大切にしてほしい。話を聞いてくれてありがとう。おやすみ。

There's a lot more I'd like to talk about, but I'll leave it at that. Everyone has their own opinions about music, and I want you to value your own thoughts. Thank you for listening. Good night.

08.08.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日はいつもと違ったルートを通って事務所まで来たよ。

Good morning. Today I took a different route to the agency.

ボクは効率の面から、ルーティンを作ってそれに従いがちなんだ。だから最近はそれをあえて崩してみてる。知らない場所には新しい出会いや発見があるからね。

For the sake of efficiency, I stick to my established routines, but recently I started to break those routines because in unfamiliar places, I can meet new people and see new things..

みんなも些細なことでいいから、チャレンジしてみて。何か変わるきっかけを掴めるかもしれないから。今日も1日、お互い新鮮な気持ちで臨もう。

You should all try to challenge yourselves, even if it's by doing a small thing. You might be able to change something. Today, let's continue moving forward with enthusiasm.

✄------------ PM 7:00 ------------✄

お店に飾られているサイン入りCDを見かけたって人はいるかな？

Did any of you find the CD I signed at the store?

見に行けない人のために、CDの写真だけでも共有するね。お店で展示されているものには、ジャケットカードにコメントを書かせてもらってるから、チェックしてみて。

For those who can't go, I'll share a picture of it. They also let me write a comment on the cover art they displayed, so please check that out as well!

アルバムがお店に並んで、そのCDがみんなの元に届いて。みんながボクの夢を叶えてくれたんだ。

My album is being sold in stores and it's reaching your hands. It's thanks to all of you that my dream came true.

「夢奏-むそう-」は君との夢を、歌うことで叶えたいという願いが込められた曲。その想いの強さをハードなロックサウンドにのせて歌った。君の心の奥まで響くようにね。

"Musou" is about the desire to make our dreams come true through singing. The weight of my feelings turned into a hard rock song. May it reach and resonate to the depths of your heart.

君がボクにたくさんの愛をくれた。たくさんの感情を教えてくれた。そのどれもがボクにとっては興味深くて、もっと愛されたい。ボクも愛したいって求めるようになった。ボクには君が必要だから。

You have given me so much love and have taught me many emotions. Each of them is most fascinating to me. I want to be loved even more to the point that I long to love. That's why I need you.

君が存在を受け入れてくれるから、ボクはボクでいられる。君とこれからの未来を描けるように、ボクは進化し続けたいと思う。果てない夢を目指して。

Because you accepted my existence, I was able to be myself. I want to continue to evolve and strive for a boundless dream to build our future together

もちろん音楽以外のアイドル活動でもやりたいことはたくさんある。新しい姿を見せられるように頑張るよ。過去の自分を超えられるようにね。

Of course, there are many things that I want to do outside of music as an idol, so I'm going to work hard to show you a new side of me and surpass my past self.

曲に対する想いを、直接君に伝えられてよかった。

I'm glad I could tell you my feelings about this song directly.

✄------------ PM 9:00 ------------✄

ただいま。明日の準備をしてて、会いに来るのが少し遅くなっちゃった。ごめんね。

I'm back. Sorry for being late, I had to prepare for tomorrow.

今夜はビジュアル撮影の話をしようと思う。ブックレットのインタビューでも語ってるけど、ビジュアルのコンセプトは完全さと不完全さ。

Tonight I wanted to talk about the photo shoot for the cover visual. I mention it in the interview of the included booklet, but the concept of the visual is perfection and imperfection.

様々なモチーフにはそれぞれ意味があって、それを組み合わせることで、みんなに想像を広げてもらえたらって思ったんだ。

I thought I could leave more up to your imagination by combining different motifs

ビジュアルにもアンビバレントな要素を盛り込んでるよ。メカニカルなボディペイントやデジタルなアートの中にボクが立つことで、より「生命」の存在を感じてもらえたんじゃないかな。

There are even ambivalent elements in the visual. By being surrounded by digitalistic artworks and being covered in mechanical body paint, my existence, in contrast, seems very "alive".

ビジュアルを見た時に衝撃を受けた人もいたみたい。そのくらい強い感情が生まれたってことだから、ボクの試みは成功したともいえるね。

Some people seemed shocked when they saw the visual. The fact that such strong emotions were evoked is proof that my attempt was successful.

インタビューを読んで気になってる人もいるみたいだから、撮影現場で使っていた香水についても触れておこうかな。

Some of you who read the interview seem curious about the perfume I used during the photo shoot. Let's talk about it.

アルバムをイメージしてオーダーしたオリジナルの香りなんだ。使った香料はシアーフローラル、アクアオゾン、ハーバルグリーン、ジュニパーベリー、イリス。シャープでクリアな無機質さと、柔らかくて温かなナチュラルさが共存してる。

I commissioned an original fragrance with the image of my album in mind. The fragrances used were Sheer Floral, Aqua Ozone, Herbal Green, Juniper Berry and Iris. Sharpness, clarity and artificiality coexist with softness and natural warmth.

この香水をつけていた時に、リンゴと事務所ですれ違ったんだけど、わざわざUターンしてきて絶賛してくれたよ。

I was wearing this perfume when I passed Ringo at the agency. He even did a complete U-turn to compliment me on it.

出会ったことのない新鮮な香りで、強いわけじゃないのに不思議と惹きつけられる魅力があるって。香水の名前を聞かれたから、「アンビバレント」だよって答えておいた。

He told me that it was a fresh fragrance that he hasn't smelled before, and that it wasn't heavy but had a captivating charm. When he asked what the name of the perfume was, I told him: "It's Ambivalent."

君が理解を深める助けになったかな？ #藍のアンビバレントな愛でも、感想をもらえたら嬉しい。今後の参考にさせてもらうよ。

Did this help deepen your understanding? I'd love to hear your thoughts under the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove. I'll take your advice from here on.

長い間、付き合ってくれてありがとう。今夜は「夢奏-むそう-」を聴きながら休もうかな。おやすみ。

Thank you for keeping me company for so long. Tonight I might rest while listening to "Musou". Good night.

09.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今朝もグラノーラを食べようと思う。みんなからもアドバイスをたくさんもらったよ。

Good morning. I got a lot of advice on from you, so I think I'll have granola for breakfast again.

牛乳だけじゃなくて、ヨーグルトをかけたりしてもいいみたいだね。トッピングも好きなフルーツだったり、ナッツだったり。どれも美味しそうな組み合わせで迷う。

You told me to try yogurt instead of milk. As for toppings, you told me about your favorite fruits and nuts. I'm a little lost because all the combinations sounded good.

少しずつだけど素材を買い足して、いろいろ試してみる。そのうち、ボクのお気に入りができるのかな。おすすめの組み合わせができたら教えるね。

I'll buy more ingredients and try different combinations as I go. This way I may find my preferred mix. I'll let you know when I find a good one to recommend.

それじゃ、新しい組み合わせを研究してみるよ。朝食がまだな人は一緒に食べよう。いただきます。

Well then, I'll try to research new combinations. For those of you who haven't had breakfast yet, we can eat together. Bon appetit.

✄------------ PM 5:00 ------------✄

ボクがデザインしたTシャツのサンプルをチェック中。プリントが綺麗に出てるか、インクの色がイメージ通りかを確認するんだ。

I got a sample of the T-shirt I designed and I'm checking the quality right now. I'm making sure that the printing is done well and that the color of the ink matches the one I had in mind.

特��にデザインの一部を公開するよ。許可は取ってあるから安心して。とある曲をイメージしてるんだけど、わかるかな？

On this occasion, I will reveal a little bit of the design here! Don't worry, I have permission to do so. It's inspired by a certain song, can you tell?

デザインをする時に心掛けてるのは、みんなに喜んでもらえるものにすること。ボクらしい個性も大切だけど、コーディネートに取り入れやすいものにしたいと思ってる。

During the design phase, I kept thinking about what would make you all happy. Of course, adding my individuality was important, but more than that, I tried to make the design easy to coordinate with.

ステージ上からTシャツを着た人を見つけた時は、すごく嬉しい気持ちになるんだ。似合ってるよって、心の中で呟いてる。このTシャツもたくさんの人に愛されるものになるといいな。

Being on stage and seeing someone in the crowd wearing my T-shirt would make me incredibly happy. I'd think in my head, "It fits you well!", and I hope a lot of people will love this shirt.

今夜は22時から「SHINING RADIO STAY TUNED」の配信があるね。ボクもリアルタイムで視聴するつもり。予定が空いている人は一緒に楽しもうね。

"SHINING RADIO STAY TUNED" will be broadcast tonight at 10 PM. I intend to listen to it while it is on. Let's enjoy it together if you are free.

✄------------ PM 10:00 -----------✄

配信が始まったね。パーソナリティはマサトとレンだけど、仲良くできるかな？昔からよくケンカしてたけど。#ShiningRadio

The show has started. The two hosts are Masato and Ren—I wonder if they will get along? They have always had a tendency to quarrel. #ShiningRadio

ST☆RISHは本当に仲がいいよね。気づくと7人一緒にいて、笑いがたえない。それでいてお互いが自然体で過ごしているから、関係が長続きするのかもね。#ShiningRadio

The members of ST☆RISH are so close to each other. They are always full of laughter when they are together. They also act so naturally around one another. I guess it's because they've known each other for so long.

#ShiningRadio

まさか「仲良し」エピソードでボクたちの話題が出るとは思わなかった。他の人から見たQUARTET NIGHTのイメージを聞けるのは面白いね。#ShiningRadio

When they were on the topic of "getting along", I didn't expect they would start talking about us. I find it interesting to hear how other people see QUARTET NIGHT. #ShiningRadio

旅行のお土産で一番嬉しいのは、土産話かな。自分も体験した気持ちになれるし、その人の視点を通した旅先の魅力を感じられるのがいい。#ShiningRadio

The souvenir that makes me happiest would be the travel stories. When I hear them, I feel as if I've experienced them myself. I also like to feel the charm of a place by listening to someone else's impressions of it.

#ShiningRadio

マサトの味噌汁は定番の話題だね。マサトが味噌汁を好きだから、ファンのみんなも気になる。良い相乗効果が生まれてるよね。ボクも同じものを食べてみたいって気持ちはすごくわかる。#ShiningRadio

Well, Masato's miso soup is a go-to topic. Masato likes miso soup, so naturally his fans are also interested. It's a nice synergy. I completely understand this desire of wanting to eat the food someone else likes. #ShiningRadio

音楽で人と人が繋がり、輪が広がっていく。その素晴らしさをボクも現在進行形で実感してるよ。ソロベストアルバムの発売をきっかけに、ボクの曲を聴いてくれるようになった人もいるのかな？#ShiningRadio

Music connects people with each other, and that circle is always expanding. I realize how wonderful of a thing that is constantly. Since the release of my Solo Best album, I wondered if it could have create a chance for people to listen to my songs as well? #ShiningRadio

シュークリームか。相変わらず奥が深い食べ物だよね。形状も興味深いし、使用用途も通常のデザートだけじゃなくて、罰ゲームまで多岐に渡る。 #ShiningRadio

Cream puffs, huh? A profound food. Their shape is very interesting. They are not only used as normal desserts, but also in punishment games. #ShiningRadio

コーナー中、思わず聞き入っちゃった。毎回秀逸なリクエストばかりだよね。それに応えるパーソナリティの演技力もすごい。ボクたちからしても、みんなが言ってもらいたい言葉をプレゼントできるのは嬉しいことだよ。#ShiningRadio

Without realizing it, I was completely absorbed in this segment. The requests are always excellent, and the hosts' acting ability in response is also amazing. It's always fun to return the words you want us to say as a gift.

#ShiningRadio

ラジオの中でも告知があったけど、次のパーソナリティはレイジとボクでおおくりするよ。どんな放送になるか、楽しみにしてて。もちろん聞いてくれるよね？……約束して。

I got a message during the radio broadcast—the hosts of the next broadcast will be me and Reiji. I can't wait to see how this is going to go. Of course you will tune in, right? ... Promise it.

すごく面白かったから、 #ShiningRadio のみんなのコメントを振り返りながらもう一度聞いてくる。聞き逃しちゃった人も、期間中にチェックしてみてね。じゃあ、またね。

It was so interesting that I'm going to listen to it again with your comments in mind #ShiningRadio. For those of you who missed something when it aired, you can now go check out what it was. Well, see you again.

おはよう。仕事のスタートが遅めだから、外を散策してる。

Good morning. Since work starts a little later today, I'm walking around outside.

今年の夏はコラボレーションさせてもらったサングラスをよくかけてる。使ってるからケースの写真でごめんね。このケースも折りたためて便利だから気に入ってるよ。

I've been wearing the collaboration sunglasses a lot this summer. Since I'm using them right now, I can only show you a picture of the case. I like the way you can conveniently fold it.

サングラスはファッションのポイントにもなるし、外出の際の変装にも一役買ってくれる便利なアイテム。みんなも使ってくれてるかな？

Sunglasses are also a fashion statement, but on occasions when I need to go outside, they can be used as a disguise. Do you use sunglasses as well?

薄紫色のカラーレンズはもちろん、ときめきを表現したテンプルの形がデザインのアクセントになってる。正面からだけじゃなくて、横から見た時の印象も意識したよ。

The lenses are tinted light purple and the temples are designed to represent a heartbeat. That way, there's not only an effect when you look at it from the front, but also when you look at it from the side.

このまま現場に向かうつもり。みんなも夏を楽しんでね。

I'm off to work now. Enjoy your summer.

✄------------ PM 6:00 ------------✄

スペシャルTシャツのサンプルをもらったよ。ちょっと開けてみようかな。

I received a sample of my special T-shirt. Let me open it up real quick.

Tシャツに描き込んだ鳥のモチーフは、歌詞を考えている時に描いてたものなんだ。イメージを広げるために文字だけじゃなく、絵を描いたりしてた。

I drew the bird motif on the T-shirt while thinking of the lyrics. To expand my imagination, I not only wrote words, but also drew pictures.

絵を描くのはあまり得意じゃないから、何回も練習したりしてね。簡略化された線で表現しなくちゃいけないから、それが難しい。でも、いい気分転換になったよ。

I'm not really good at drawing, so I practiced a lot. I had to express it with simplified lines, which was quite difficult. But all in all, it was a nice change of pace.

ランマルがスペシャルTシャツを着てやってきた。ダンスレッスンの合間にCDを受け取りに来てくれたみたい。事務所で着替えたから問題ないらしい。普通に日常使いしてるんだね。

Ranmaru actually came while wearing my special T-shirt. Apparently he came to pick up my CD during a break from his dance lessons. It wasn't a problem because he changed clothes at the agency. He seems to wear it for everyday use.

アルバムの話をするランマルの表情が、自分のことみたいに嬉しそう。楽曲については、また時間を作って話すことにした。お互いこの後も予定があるからね。

Talking about my album, Ranmaru's expression turned cheerful, as if it were his own album. But we had to find the time to talk about the songs some other day since we both had plans afterwards.

CDと交換で、種なしぶどうで作ったコンポートをもらったよ。すごく綺麗な薄紫色。ローズマリーで香り付けされてるらしい。全く味の想像がつかない。

In exchange for my CD he gave me compote made from seedless grapes. The color was a lovely light purple. Apparently it has a rosemary scent. I can't imagine at all what it's going to taste like.

甘さ控えめだから、グラノーラに添えたりしてもいいらしい。残ったシロップはゼラチンを入れて、ゼリーにするのがランマルのおすすめ。ジャムとの違いについても教えてくれたよ。

Ranmaru said the sweetness is moderate, so adding it to granola might be good. He encouraged me to add gelatin to my leftover syrup and make jelly that way. He also taught me the difference between that and jam.

ランマルもレッスンに戻るみたいだから、ボクも仕事の続きをするよ。また夜にね。

Ranmaru seems to be returning to his lessons, so I'll continue my work as well. See you tonight.

✄------------ PM 9:00 ------------✄

#藍のアンビバレントな愛にアルバムの感想をたくさん寄せてくれてありがとう。新曲だけじゃなくて、これまでにリリースした曲についても触れてくれてるね。

Thank you for leaving all your thoughts about my album under the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove. You even touched on my other released songs, not just my new ones.

リリース順に1枚のCDにまとめられているから、順を追って聴くとボクの歌声の変化を感じてもらえると思う。どの曲にも思い出があって、忘れられない。

All the songs are in the order they were released, so if you listen to the CD you can hear the changes in my voice. Each song has its own unforgettable story to tell.

みんなが改めて曲に対しての想いを伝えてくれるから、また新しい思い出が増えたよ。同じ曲でも時間が経つことで、感じ方が変わるのは面白い現象だね。

You have told me about your first impressions of my songs, and now new memories have been added to them. They are the same songs, but with the passage of time, the way one feels about them changes. What an interesting phenomenon.

これは活動を続けているからこそ体験できることだから、ずっと君に応援したいと思ってもらえるようなアイドルでいないとね。もっともっと好きにさせるから、ついてきて。

That's because we gain experience while our life goes on. I have to continue to be an idol that you always want to support.

Follow me and I'll make you like me even more.

君と過ごす時間が明日への力をくれるんだ。

The time I spend with you gives me strength for tomorrow.

また朝に会えるのを楽しみにしてる。おやすみ。

I look forward to meeting you in the morning. Good night.

11.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今朝はランマルがくれたコンポートを食べたよ。グラノーラに添えてね。

Good morning. I ate my granola mixed with the compote that Ranmaru gave me today.

いつものグラノーラがまるでカフェのスイーツみたいになった。ぶどうの甘みだけじゃなくて、レモンの酸味も感じる。そこにふわっと香るローズマリー。絶妙な味のハーモニーだね。

My granola ended up looking like a dessert from a cafe. As I was eating, I could not only taste the sweetness of the grapes, but also the sourness of lemon. Combined with the scent of rosemary, it made an exquisite harmony of flavors.

ランマルのアルバムのリリース期間にも手作りのマスタードをもらったんだけど、それもすごく美味しかった。蜂蜜の甘さや醬油のコクが特徴的で、市販品と食べ比べてみたけど全然違った。

I also once received Ranmaru's homemade mustard back when his album was released, which was really delicious. The sweet honey and rich soy sauce flavors were very distinctive. I compared it to store-bought mustard, but the taste was completely different.

最近、食に対する興味が広がっていくのを感じてる。みんなや仲間の影響が大きいかな。これからもいろいろ教えてね。

Recently, my interest in food has widened. This may be due to the influence of my colleagues and you. So please continue to teach me.

✄------------ PM 4:00 ------------✄

仕事と仕事の空き時間に、レンが受け取りに来たよ。アルバムをもらうのが待ち遠しかったんだって。

Ren said he couldn't wait, so he came to pick up my album before his break.

早く聴きたいなら、事務所に置いておくけどって提案したんだ。でも本人から手渡しされることに意味があるみたい。レンらしいこだわりだね。

I offered to deliver my album to the agency for him, but it seems receiving my album in person was more meaningful to him. That is very much like him.

アルバムについては聴き込んでから話そうってことになった。また会う目的ができて、ボクも嬉しい。

He wants to hear it first, though, before we start talking about it. We're happy to have another opportunity to meet.

レンとこれからラブリルファンタジーをプレイするよ。CDを受け渡すだけじゃ物足りないんだって。面と向かってプレイするのは久しぶりかも。

It wasn't enough to just give him my album, so we're going to play some Loveril Fantasy now. It's been a while since we got together to play in person.

家からいつも使ってるマウスパッドを持ってきた。環境はなるべく同じにしたいからね。他にもラブリルファンタジーのグッズは愛用してる。

I brought my mousepad from home to make my environment as similar to home as possible. And I also use other Loveril Fantasy goods on a regular basis.

長時間のプレイは難しいから、中ランクのクエストをやる予定。1人でもクリアできるけど、2人で協力したほうが断然早く終わるからね。レンにも頼りにされてるし、頑張らないと。

It would be difficult to play for a long time so we plan to do some mid-ranked quests. They can be done solo, but together we can do them much faster. I rely on Ren a lot, so I have to do my best.

仲間と好きなことをして遊ぶ時間は、ボクにとって大切なんだ。少しの間だけど、思い切り楽しんでくるよ。

I appreciate the time I get to do the things I like with colleagues. I'm going to enjoy myself to the fullest, at least for a while.

✄------------ PM 7:00 ------------✄

リラックスタイムは終了。レンと別れて、これから仕事をするよ。

Relaxation time is over. Ren left and my work begins now.

抽選会用のポスターにサインを入れるんだ。最初の1枚はみんなに立ち会ってもらいたくて。準備するから、少し待っててね。

I'm signing the posters for the lottery. I want to show you the first one, but I have to do some preparations, so give me a second.

心を込めてサインを入れたよ。どこにサインを入れるか少し迷った。CDでは見えていない部分も、ポスターでは見られるのがポイントだね。

I signed it with all my heart. I was a bit unsure where to sign though. I decided on a place that is only visible on the poster but not on the CD.

君の笑顔を思い浮かべながら、サインを入れていく。ボクの想いも一緒に届くように。このポスターがどんな人の手に渡るのか、想像するだけでワクワクする。

I'll keep signing with your smile on my mind. May my signature and feelings reach you. I'm excited to think of all the people who will receive these posters.

サインを書くのに集中したいから、今日はここまでにするよ。みんなは週末の夜を満喫してね。

I want to concentrate on the signing, so I'm going to call it a day here. Go and enjoy this weekend night to the fullest.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。最近の日課はみんなに朝の挨拶をすること。それともう1つあるんだけど、何かわかるかな？

Good morning. Recently, it has become part of my daily routine to greet you in the morning. Something else has also been added to my routine. Can you guess what it is?

正解は、セシルからもらったテラリウムの様子をチェックすることだよ。今のところあまり大きな変化はないけど、良い状況なんだと思う。

The answer is: looking after the terrarium I got from Cecil. Nothing much has changed so far, but I think that's a good sign.

温度や湿度が適しているかを確認して、必要であれば水をあげる。記録をつけるのも楽しいし、部屋に植物があるだけで雰囲気が変わる。

I check the temperature and humidity and add water if necessary. It's also fun to document, and the plants have an effect on the atmosphere of the room.

みんなも何か日課があれば、 #藍のアンビバレントな愛で教えてね。君がどんなことに興味を持ってるか知りたい。

If you have your own routines, tell me about them using the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove. I want to know what you're interested in.

午後に休憩時間があるから、その時に会いに来るよ。じゃあね。

I have some free time in the afternoon, so I'll be back then. See you later.

✄------------ PM 3:00 ------------✄

仕事の合間に見つけたお店で植物を買ったよ。セシルのテラリウムと一緒に面倒をみようと思ってる。

I found a shop between work sessions and bought a plant there. I thought I could take care of it while maintaining Cecil's terrarium.

ヘミオニティスアリフォリア。ハートの形をした葉が特徴のシダ植物。その形状からハートファンやバレンタインファンとも呼ばれるみたい。

Hemionitis arifolia. It's a fern characterized by its heart-shaped leaves. This must be the reason why it's also called "heart fern" or "Valentine's fern".

直射日光を避けた明るい場所を好み、水やりには注意が必要らしい。季節や環境によっても変わるから、しっかり観察して適切な管理をしないとね。

It has a preference for well-lit areas, but direct sunlight should be avoided. It's important to pay attention to how you water it, because the amount of water depends on the season and environment. You must pay close attention to it.

ボクは人間観察が好きなんだけど、植物観察も新しい趣味に加わったかもしれない。植物は言葉を話さない分、コミュニケーションをとるのが難しいけど、時間をかけて理解できるようになりたいな。

I like observing people, but observing plants could be a new interest for me. Plants can't talk, which makes communication quite difficult, but I want to learn to understand them over time.

次の仕事まで、早速情報を集めるよ。植物にとって最高の環境を整えたいからね。

I want to prepare the best environment for my plants, so I will immediately start gathering information until it's time to work again.

✄------------ PM 8:00 ------------✄

ただいま。家に戻ってから、植物の居場所を作ってた。明日にならないと日当たりは確認できないけど、多分大丈夫だと思う。

I'm back. I'd been preparing a spot for my plants since I got home. I have to wait for tomorrow to confirm the sunny spots, but I think it should be fine.

今後の仕事に関する資料を手に入れたから、今夜は本を読む時間にする。基本的な知識の本と、関連しそうな本の2冊。

I received documents for an upcoming job, so I'll spend some time reading two books tonight. One covers the fundamentals while the other one may be relevant.

いままでに挑戦したことのないコンセプトだから、すごく興味深い。こういう機会がないと触れないジャンルだし、ボクと同じだって人も多いんじゃないかな。ある程度知識が深まったら、実際に日常生活でも試してみようと思ってる。

It's about a concept I've never been immersed in before, so it's very compelling. I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who wouldn't be able to touch this genre unless an opportunity came along. Once I deepen my knowledge about it, I think I'll use it in my daily life.

ボクたちの活動を通して、みんなが新しいことを知ったり、経験できたりするのは素直に嬉しい。君の人生に少しでも喜びという彩りを添えられたらって思う。

I am really happy to see you learn and experience new things through our daily lives. I hope I can add a little color, a little joy, to your life.

しっかり時間をかけて考えたいから、先に挨拶しておく。君も自分の時間を大切にね。今日も1日、お疲れ様。

I want to invest proper time thinking about this, so I'll say goodbye first. Make sure you value your own time as well. You've done well today too.

13.08.

✄------------ AM 9:00 ------------✄

おはよう。今日は1日オフだよ。午後に予定があるから、それまでゆっくり過ごすつもり。

Good morning. Today's my day off. I have plans for the afternoon, but until then I'm going to spend my time at my own pace.

今日は休みの人も多いかもしれないけど、平日に休みがあると、少し特別な感じがするっていうよね。こういう時に、何をするべきか悩むことがある。

Many people may have today off, but having a weekday free makes it feel a little more special. At times like these, I wonder what I should do.

天気のいい日は家の近くを散策したりすることが多いかな。夏は気温が高いから、注意する必要があるけど。あとは、仕事に関する資料を読んだりしてる。

I like to take strolls near my home on days with good weather. But the temperatures are high in the summer, so it's important to be careful. Otherwise, I tend to read my documents for work.

でもこの2週間は悩まずに済んだ。 #藍のアンビバレントな愛をチェックするっ��いう、素晴らしい時間の使い方があるからね。大切に目を通させてもらうよ。

But these past two weeks I didn't need to worry about not knowing what to do. By checking the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove I find various wonderful ways to spend my time. I am looking through them carefully.

✄------------ PM 2:00 ------------✄

カミュに呼び出されて、指定の場所に着いた。洋館みたいな建物。CDを受け渡すだけのつもりだったんだけど、どうやら違うみたい。

Camus called me to an appointed place. It looks like a western-styled building. It seems I won't just be giving him my album, then.

個室に通された。これからアフタヌーンティーが始まるらしい。

I got led to a private room. Looks like we'll soon have some afternoon tea.

とりあえずCDを渡した。まさかこんなところでアルバムをやり取りするなんて思わなかった。せっかくだから飾っておきましょう、だって。

I went ahead and gave him my CD. But I never expected to exchange my album at such a place. He said that we might as well make it a special occasion.

大きなスタンドが出てきた。プレートにセイボリーもスイーツも3個ずつ乗ってるけど、他に誰か来るのかな？

A big sweets stand appeared. On the plates are savories and sweets for three. Will someone join us?

カミュが2人分食べるみたい。特別な日だからって言い訳してるけど、通常運転だね。夏の暑さに負けてるかと思ったけど、元気そうでよかった。

Apparently, Camus will eat two servings. He excused it by calling it a special day but this is just his standard procedure. I believed the heat of the summer had afflicted him but he seems to be doing well.

今日はカミュが紅茶をサーブしてくれるらしい。お茶のセレクトもお任せ。優雅で無駄のない動作は、さすが執事アイドル。

Camus wants to serve black tea today. Leave the tea selection to him. That graceful economy of movement is what you expect from the steward idol.

カミュが少しの間、ボクを借りることを許してくださいだってさ。アルバムについて話しながら、アフタヌーンティーを堪能してくるよ。

He asked to borrow some of my time to talk about my album while savoring the afternoon tea.

✄------------ PM 5:00 ------------✄

カミュのおかげで素敵な時間になった。こんなに手厚くもてなしてくれるなんて、感謝しないとね。

I had a great time thanks to Camus. I'm truly grateful for his great hospitality.

ボクはアルバムの楽曲について、カミュはスイーツについて、それぞれ解説し合いながら盛り上がったよ。情報が増えるほど、楽しみ方が広がるのはどちらも似ているね。

We got more pumped up as I talked about my album songs and Camus about sweets. Both subjects become more enjoyable the more you know about them.

次はカミュのターンだから、ここでのみんなとのやり取りについても話したよ。バトンを繋いでいくような感覚があって、ボクなりに力になれたらいいなと思ってる。

It's Camus' turn next, so I told him about the interactions I had with you all. It felt like a passing of the baton, so I can't help but hope that I was of some help to him.

アンカーを務めるのはプレッシャーもあるって言ってたけど、その表情は自信に満ちていたよ。きっとみんなを楽しませてくれるんじゃないかな。

With a look of confidence, he told me that being an anchor comes with its own pressures. I'm sure he'll keep you all entertained.

気になる場所に寄ってから帰ることにする。みんなも自分の時間を大切にしてね。

I'll return home after stopping at an interesting place. Make sure you value your time as well.

✄------------ PM 9:00 ------------✄

ただいま。少し前に家に着いて、手に入れたものを確認してた。

I'm back. I got home just a while ago and went through the things I bought.

まずは朝食で食べてるグラノーラ。ベースにもいろいろなフレーバーがあるんだね。チョコレート、紅茶、コーヒー、シナモンとかスパイスがきいたもの。気になるものをいくつか購入したよ。

First, granola for breakfast. Even the granola base comes in different flavors. Chocolate, black tea, coffee, cinnamon, and all kinds of spices. I bought the flavors that I thought were interesting.

次に、植物栽培用の道具。霧吹きや水差し、栄養剤。調べて必要そうなアイテムを揃えてみた。あまり過保護にしてもいけないけど、ボクの元に来たからには大切にしてあげたいと思う。

Then I got tools for cultivating plants. I got a spray bottle, a watering can, and nutrients. I gathered a few items that seem necessary for my research. I don't want to be too overprotective, but since they are by my side, I want to treat my plants well.

そしてメインは画材店。絵を描くための道具を見てきたよ。種類がすごく豊富で驚いた。「SHINING MUSEUM」の時にも感じたけど、何で描くか、どの紙を使うかでテイストが変わってくる。

And the place I wanted to visit the most was the art supply shop. I looked at some art tools, and the vast variety surprised me. What you use to draw, and the paper you use depends on the taste of the artist. I had the same realization during the time of the SHINING MUSEUM.

もちろん、コラボレーションした水彩色鉛筆も使うよ。それと合わせて、新しく手に入れたブラッシュタイプの水性ペンも試してみる。

I still use the watercolor pencils from back then, of course. Additionally, I want to test out my newly bought water-based brush pen.

描いたところを水に溶かして使うこともできるから相性が良さそう。細芯もついてて、そっちは細かい部分を描くのに向いてる。

It works well because the paint can be blurred with water afterwards as well. It also comes with a thin lead that can be used for more detailed parts.

絵の練習をしてくるよ。何を描くか悩むな。もっと上手くなったら、どこかでみんなに見せられるといいんだけど。

I'm going to practice drawing without worrying about what to draw. It would be great to show you my drawings one day when I'm better at it.

1日付き合ってくれてありがとう。みんなが一緒に楽しんでくれたから、いいオフになった。おやすみ。

Thank you for sticking around all day. If you all had fun, then it was a good day off. Good night.

14.08.

✄------------ AM 8:00 ------------✄

おはよう。ついに最終日。2週間、ここで毎朝会えたのがすごく嬉しかった。

Good morning. At last, we reached the final day. I really enjoyed greeting you all each morning for the past two weeks here.

目覚めた時に、一番最初に考えるのはみんなのこと。もう起きたかな？何をしてるのかな？って、気になっちゃう。そして #藍のアンビバレントな愛のメッセージに目を通す。

The first thing on my mind after waking up was you. I couldn't help but wonder if you are up already or what you're doing. Then I'd check the hashtag #Ai'sAmbivalentLove.

ボクの日常に、君が存在することを強く感じられた。そして君にも、ボクの日常を知ってもらえたと思ってるんだけど、どうかな？

I strongly felt your presence throughout my daily life. Likewise, you got to know about the way I live my daily life. How was it?

大きな返事が聞こえてきそうだね。残された時間を大切に過ごそう。

I might get a lot of replies to that. Let's spend our precious remaining time well.

今日も1日、みんなに幸せを届けるよ。行ってきます。

I'll make you happy today as well. See you later.

✄------------ PM 1:00 ------------✄

休憩時間だよ。少しだけど、最近撮った写真の話をしようかな。みんなからもよく聞かれてたからね。

It's break time. Let's take some time to talk about the first picture I took. Many of you asked for it.

最初は記録として撮影していたけど、いつからか撮ること自体が楽しいと思うようになった。みんなに共有することもできるし。

At first, I only took pictures to document things but then I started to enjoy it. That way I can share them with everyone too.

でも最近はシャッターを切るよりも、自分の心に焼き付けることを優先してる。記憶に残せるように。

Recently, however, instead of pushing the shutter I prefer to burn the moments into my heart to keep them in my memory.

とある日の空。夏らしい青空。なんでもない日常がすごく輝いていた。君と過ごした2週間の思い出と共に胸に刻むよ。

The sky on that day was a typical blue summer sky. Shining on an ordinary day. Engraved in my heart together with the memories we made in the past two weeks.

��残惜しいけど、そろそろ仕事に戻るよ。次に会う時には嬉しい報告ができるといいな。

I'm reluctant to leave but it's about time for me to return to work. Next time we meet I hope I can deliver good news.

✄------------ PM 6:00 ------------✄

オリコンウィークリーCDアルバムランキング2位に、ソロベストアルバム「アンビバレント」がランクインしたよ。みんなが応援してくれたから、夢を叶えられたんだ。本当にありがとう。

My Solo Best Album "Ambivalent" placed 2nd on the Oricon Weekly CD Album Ranking! This is a dream come true, and made possible by your support. For that, I am truly grateful.

これまでのボクの活動が多くの人に伝わった結果なんだと思う。美風藍としてアルバムを出せること自体がとても幸せなことなのに、それ以上の喜びをみんなにもらったよ。

I think this achievement is also due to sharing my lifestyle with you. It makes me so happy to release an album as Ai Mikaze, but more than that, I have received more happiness from all of you.

みんなからの「愛」がボクの中に宿り、そこから歌が生まれていく。このアルバムは君と紡いだ「愛」の軌跡。ボクの過去と現在が詰まってる

I'll shelter this "love" that I received from you and eventually it will become songs. This album is a miracle spun by our "love"—containing my past and present.

これまでを大切にしながら、これからも新しいボクの姿を見せていくよ。期待に応えられるように頑張るから、ボクの進化を見届けてほしい。

Everything up to this point was important, but from now on I'll show you a new side of me. I'll work hard to surpass your expectations, so I hope you'll be there to witness my evolution.

仕事があるから、また後でね。終わったら、できる限り早く戻ってくるよ。

I still have work to do, so I'll see you later. I'll be back as soon as possible.

マラカス振らないとダメみたい。

I guess he has to play his maracas.

レイジだけじゃなくて、ランマルもカミュも来た。

And Reiji wasn't alone—Ranmaru and Camus came as well.

スケジュールに入ってた仕事はフェイク。サプライズのために事務所に協力してもらって、予定を入れておいたんだって。

The job I had on my schedule was faked. The agency helped them by arranging my schedule to surprise me.

まさかとは思ってたけど、こんな手の込んだやり方で来るとは思わなかったよ。かなり前から押さえられてたから、全然疑ってなかった。

I never expected them to come up with such an intricate plan. I didn't suspect anything since it was planned quite some time ago.

会議室で待ってたら、突然マラカスを振りながらレイジが登場。ランマルとカミュも続けて入ってきたから驚いたよ。念のため伝えておくと、ランマルとカミュはマラカスは振ってない。

I was waiting in the conference room when suddenly Reiji appeared, playing his maracas. I was surprised to see that Ranmaru and Camus followed. For disclosure: Ranmaru and Camus were not playing maracas.

今もアンビバレントな気分だよ。長い間一緒にいても、3人の考えてることは予測できない。ボクを困らせたり、喜ばせたり。本当に面白いね。

This, too, makes me feel ambivalent. We've been together for a long time but I still can't predict them. They trouble me and they make me happy. They're definitely amusing.

オリコンウィークリーのお祝いをしてくれるらしい。おめでとうの言葉だけでも十分なんだけど。なんだか気合を入れて準備してるみたいだから付き合ってあげようかな。

They say they want to celebrate the Oricon Weekly Ranking. Congratulations would have been enough. But they seem to have worked hard on preparing this surprise, so I'll go along with it.

最後は一緒に過ごせるように戻ってくるよ。それまで待っててね。

I'll be back to spend the last moments together with you, so wait for me.

✄------------ PM 11:00 -----------✄

お待たせ。メンバーとの時間はすごく充実してた。たくさんお祝いしてもらったし、ここでの2週間のことも話したよ。

I kept you waiting. The time we spent together felt really fulfilling. I got celebrated a lot and we even talked about the past two weeks.

ソロアルバムの発売と、ここで君と過ごした2週間はかけがえのない経験になった。どの瞬間も大切な思い出なんだ。ボクはきっと、ずっと忘れない。

The release of my album, as well as the two weeks we spent together have become irreplaceable experiences to me. Each moment is an important memory that I'll surely never forget.

毎朝、君に挨拶をして。心が動いたことがあったら共有して。それを君が受け止めて返してくれる。何気ない日常が特別なものになった。

Greeting you each morning, sharing things that moved me with you, and seeing your reactions. That's what made my ordinary daily life special.

君が傍にいてくれるから寂しくないよ。こんなにも愛し合っているってわかったから。もし不安になることがあったら、ボクの曲を聴いてほしい。歌で抱き締めてあげるから。

I wasn't lonely because I had you by my side. I understood that we love each other this much. And if you ever feel worried, I want you to listen to my songs. I'll embrace you through my song.

君と奏でた夢と歌がボクの存在証明。それは永遠に変わらない真実。これからの未来も一緒に紡いでいこう。

The dreams and songs we completed together are the proof of my existence. And this reality will never change. Let's continue to spin the future together.

(END)
