Van: Delicious! This is the best after exercising! I can feel my strength steadily recovering.

Kira: It’s just water. Your statement was misleading.

Van: Nice tsukkomi*, Kira-chan.

Masato: It was such a productive lesson that I think I can understand how relieving the sensation of water seeping into the body can be.

Ren: It was an exciting time. It was the first time we danced together, but we were so in sync it didn’t seem like it. I was surprised by their unconventional dancing.

Ranmaru: You were improvising too, weren’t you? I wasn’t expecting it to be like this from the start. Well, it is a predictable lineup…

Kira: It's not often that we can get together with these members. I'd like to take this opportunity to get on the same page regarding the performance.

Masato: I see. As Sumeragi-san pointed out, it's important to discuss that.

Van: Okay, okay! Well, I have one suggestion to make.

Ranmaru: What is it?

Van: There is a part in the latter half of the song where we can move freely. It's really appealing to have everyone moving together like in the other parts, but I want us to show a bit more individual charm.

Ranmaru: Mind you, you were pretty much doing whatever you wanted just now.

Masato: More freely than what we did now…?

Ren: I’m guessing he meant we should make this section stand out more.

Kira: I understand how you feel, Van. But moving more than necessary is not good. It will cause trouble for Hijirikawa-san and the others.

Van: I’m not trying to cause any trouble. I just believe in the explosive power of this group, so I was wondering if we could make it a little more extravagant.

Ren: I feel like that could work. It's in the free parts that we can show our distinctive dance styles, and people will feel that we have something unique to offer.

Kira: Movements that brilliantly highlight each member’s individuality... I wonder if that could become possible if we practice a bit more and connect with each other.

Ranmaru: I also value intuition. Live performances are always raw, including the fans’ reactions. The music tells us what to do.

Van: (claps) So cool…! That was awesome!

Masato: Kurosaki-san, I have taken your words to heart!

Ranmaru: Now there are two people who overreact…

Ren: You got that right.

Masato: (clears throat) There will be 18 people on stage during the actual performance. As Sumeragi-san pointed out, we don't know how much we’ll actually be able to move around. That being said, we want everyone to enjoy themselves with us as much as they like.

Van: Masa-chan agrees with my idea, and you should also reveal more of the passionate feelings you keep inside your heart, Kira-chan.

Kira: That's right. Let's aim for further improvement together.

Ren: It seems we share the same level of enthusiasm about this. I’m glad we were able to get everyone on the same page.

Kira: Me too. In addition, I have something I want to express myself. While respecting harmony… I want to capture everyone's hearts with these hands of mine.

Ranmaru: I thought he was a cool guy, but it seems that’s not all there is to him.

Van: Yep, that's Kira-chan for you.

Kira: However, I'll be keeping a close eye on Van's movements during the lessons.

Van: Am I being monitored?!

Masato: I'm enjoying the lively exchange between Sumeragi-san and Kiryuin-san. Normally, I would have become tense and stiff.

Ren: As long as we continue sharing the same mindset like this, we'll be fine no matter what happens.

Ranmaru: It’s not like we can decide in detail what to do now. Let’s just go for it.

Van: I guess we'll have to wait until the curtain rises to see what happens.

Kira: Yes. I can't wait for the day we can all get on stage together.

Translator's notes:

Boke and Tsukkomi Routine- Called manzai in Japanese, this is the local variation on the ever-popular Straight Man and Wise Guy duo, but with the interactions of the duo making a significant part of the routine. The tsukkomi is the Straight Man of the pair, roughly, while the boke is more or less the Wise Guy — but it's not an exact match. The act usually involves the duo having a conversation on some subject, with the tsukkomi trying to correct the boke's misconceptions. [tvtropes.org]

And in more uplifting news: this lady (Tasha Cooney is her name) filmed a lot of the princesses concerts (and more?) when they were on tour last year and hopefully soon a video will be published with some of her footage.

A strong woman…and a friend to the band.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HYUNA, who was presumably forced to be an Idol for the alien stage and definitely suffered in her past for it, stills wants to sing for other humans even after escaping. She wants to spread music purely for music's sake, to get people hyped up and cheerful, because she loves singing and wants her audience to love singing and see it as smth fun and not just a talent the aliens abuse for sadistic entertainment. She's redefining singing despite how it's treated her and it's kinda beautiful and wholesome.

ASSMU Behind the Stage Ver.A [Masato, Syo, Cecil, Ai, Kira] - Translation

Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.

Ai: Alright. What do you think about doing the heart gesture in our choreography for the song's intro like this?

Cecil: Excellent! Ai-senpai’s heart move is clean and very cute! I'll give it a try too. Please watch me.

Ai: I think yours is cute and nice too. Maybe you should move your arms 0.5 seconds faster?

Cecil: Yes! I’ll try my best. Um…

Masato: Mikaze-senpai, after you've finished instructing Aijima, can you check my form?

Kira: After that, I'd like to ask you to do the same for me. It’s the important memorable move at the start of the song. I want to execute it perfectly.

Syo: (laughs and pats Ai on the shoulder) You sure are popular, Ai! So, I’m counting on you to check mine too.

Ai: Geez! Don't casually pat me on the shoulder. Alright, I got it. Well then, everyone line up in front of the mirror, let's try it while checking each other’s form.

(PRI☆LOVE∞UNIVERSE♪’s intro starts playing)

Syo: Done! Looking at it again, it’s kind of interesting. It's a simple movement, but it brings out the characteristics of each person more than I expected.

Masato: You’re impressive Aijima. As expected, you were very cute. It looks like you were able to solve the 0.5 second delay from earlier.

Kira: Hijirikawa-san’s heart looked graceful and composed.

Cecil: Kira's heart was sharp and gave off a cool vibe!

Syo: What about me, then? I did it coolly, right?

Ai: No, it was cute. I think the energetic part was very Syo-like. If you pay more attention to your fingertips all the way to the end, I think it'll get even better. And next is Masato…

Cecil: Thank you very much! Ai-senpai’s instructions are very easy to understand.

Kira: Hm…

Masato: What's the matter, Sumeragi-san? You have a troubled look on your face.

Kira: I understand what each of us can improve on. But as it stands, we are still uncoordinated. A cute style or a cool style… which one is more suitable for the song?

Syo: I prefer the cool style. After all, it's important to make a sharp and stylish impression from the start.

Cecil: I love Syo’s energetic heart.

Masato: It's a tricky situation. I think Kurusu, Aijima, and Mikaze-senpai are nice with their current cute image. However, I think Sumeragi-san should remain cool.

Masato, Syo, Cecil, Kira: Hm…

Ai: I don’t think it’s necessary to unify things forcefully. I believe it’s better to develop each person’s individuality here, which is why I guided you the way I did earlier.

Masato: I see, so that’s what it was. As expected from you.

Syo: Thank you, Ai. Let’s make sure our appeal is fully appreciated by the fans!

Cecil: Once again, we have received your assistance. We need to do something to express our gratitude.

Ai: No, it's ok. It's no big deal.

Kira: Hm…

Ai: What is it, Kira?

Kira: You all get along so well. It looks like a lot of fun.

Syo: Why are you speaking as if you’re not included? We’re all the same here, right?

Masato: Yes. We are rivals, but we are also companions now.

Ai: I have no objection to that either.

Cecil: Yes! Of course, Kira is included among us as well.

Kira: I see. Thank you.

Syo: Huh, that smile just now... Could it be that you can pull off the cute style too?

Masato: Indeed, Kurusu is right. My assessment was lacking.

Cecil: Then why don't we all try the opposite next time? Syo, Ai-senpai, and I will try the cool style!

Kira: So it's me and Hijirikawa in the 'cute' category, huh? Got it. I’ll give it my all.

Masato: I have no issue with that. I’ll try it with sincerity and dedication.

Ai: This might be a good initiative in terms of expanding our range of expression, but… well, let's just give it a try for now.
