Camus character analysis: games VS anime
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you finished the Uta no Prince-sama anime and your opinion of this man is "wow, he's kinda terrible," I don't blame you. in fact I've seen a lot of people say this
In this post, I want to talk about his characterization in the games and give my two cents on what the anime was trying to do with him, especially in his single focus episode Saintly Territory (S3E6).
Disclaimer: I wrote this on a whim because I'm sick and stuck at home so if anyone reads this, sorry I might go all over the place
Spoilers for all of the games!
The "be my slave" thing
Starting with Anime Camus's most egregious crime: treating Haruka like a servant/slave (however you want to translate it)
Basically in his focus episode, Haruka is tasked with writing a song for Camus. She wants to learn more about him in order to write it, but Camus will only let her follow him if she acts as his servant. She accepts without complaining, Cecil is rightfully angry, Haruka continues anyway and the song gets completed.
Now, am I about to say that Game Camus would never do this? No because he literally does lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The anime doesn't pull this "servant" plotline out of nowhere, here's the context in his route:
Haruka accidentally overhears Camus talking about a plot to assassinate Saotome on the phone. When he notices that she heard everything, he basically tells her that he has to kill her now. But if she served him, he'd be able to keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't leak anything, so she could escape death.
Okay uh "work under me or DIE" isn't exactly better, nor is it a good start to a love story, but I'm not finished!!
(A side note: I have to add that the anime made him look like an even bigger asshole and borderline dumb when it came to the things he made her do. Like he expected her to know that snapping your fingers means you want coffee without prior explanation. bro
^This might have been for comedic effect but I promise he can be actually funny and endearing.)
What the anime couldn't cover
The Camus episode wraps up with Haruka pulling through and writing a song that makes Camus "sincere," he says it's cool at the very end and that's the episode. I think the problem is that we technically didn't see him being sincere or what that even means to him, besides when he was singing (banger song btw)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's a shame because in a 20-minute episode you really can't show the game experience of slowly piecing together what this man's problem is.
First of all, in Debut and AS you'll be quick to notice that he always has homeland and duty on the mind, constantly reminding himself that he's in Shining Agency/Japan for a reason, and it's NOT to have fun or make friends
The truth is, he slowly starts to appreciate the banter with his colleagues, music, and working there in general.
But because of his initial mindset, he has to rationalize & justify every connection he forms, like "it's just for work" or worse: "actually it was ALL A LIE and I NEVER ENJOYED A SECOND OF THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER, I'm such a great actor haha"
He uses that to fool himself and to push the other person away so it doesn't happen again. This scene is probably the best example:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I'll be using google lens because it's faster but I checked that the tls were okay)
He also does this in the Non-Fiction drama, which may or may not have actually happened, but I think it's still a pretty good reflection of what could happen in reality because he tells Ranmaru their bond was a lie, then mopes around in his guilt thinking about the good times and wondering why he's sad, and THEN later doubles down on the "it was a lie, I don't care about you" because he just can't let himself get attached to anything.
Basically, he's terrified at the thought of forming actual bonds because he genuinely thinks he's nothing if he stops being a cold weapon:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At one point he does admit he sucks (as a love interest)-
Tumblr media
-which is pretty huge by utapri standards. I love these games, but the amount of times where a male lead does something icky, and everyone, including Haruka, acts like it's normal or like it's Haruka's fault is ehhh but I digress
Upbringing
Of course he's very proud of his homeland and status, but sometimes it's to the point of thinking he can't be anything other than his title. So why is he like this?
We got to hear about his childhood from Camus himself a few times, and it often ended with Haruka thinking "wait? that's kinda messed up?" and Camus insisting it's nothing/it's normal so yeah that's something...
His parents were in an unhappy arranged marriage, and his mother was forced to birth an heir which traumatized her so much that she can't see Camus without falling ill. Overall it's a pretty tragic situation since what happened to her was horrible, though not Camus's fault either. Even now she refuses to see him, and I wouldn't say that makes him sad because he never really met her, but simply knowing of her sacrifice probably adds a lot of pressure. As in, he only exists for this one purpose (inheriting his father's title and serving the country), so if he doesn't play his part correctly, it would have all been for nothing.
He was raised by his father not as a child or son but as the heir, always treated and judged as an adult (even during physical training apparently, make of that what you will)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Haruka asks about childhood memories he has a very hard time finding something that doesn't have to do with his duties or the nation. And then admits he didn't truly have a "childhood" since he was never treated like a child
As for the queen, I think his love for her is sincere: she taught him a lot of things growing up, and according to him, she's also a victim trapped by her duties so he wants to ease the burden.
So hypothetically, if he found things or people that made him happy in Japan, he would feel obligated to lock them away because that happiness is incompatible with his life: he'll have to leave when his mission ends, he shouldn't be spending time on things that aren't "useful" as he doesn't have the free will to pursue them
In his mind he's completely tied down by the fact that he was born and raised for a single reason, and the fact that he does want to serve the queen.
Tumblr media
(This is Saotome describing him btw)
Also it might sound ridiculous to bring his self-worth into question because of how pretentious he is, but I've counted a few situations where he seemed to have complete disregard for his own life, only worrying about Haruka and Cecil's safety in scenes when they were present. And he thinks wanting to be loved unconditionally is a childish thought he shouldn't have.
Tumblr media
"Double Face" was a lie. There's like at least 10 layers
On the surface he does have two personas, his perfect polite butler act for the media, and his cold bitchy attitude off camera. But honestly, even when he's not acting as a butler, he's often putting up a front to hide any form of vulnerability (from himself as well)
His main struggle is finding who he is outside of what he's being told to do. Before, he never actually stopped to think about what he WANTS because it just never occurs to him, or if it does he ignores it.
That's why realizing that he has his own desires is essential to his character development, and him staying with Quartet Night (and Haruka in his routes) is so important. It's why Reiji feels the need to reach out and when he does, Camus either freezes up or tears up;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This all makes him the opposite of Ranmaru (being true to yourself and sincere), and similar to Ai (gradually learning to view the world in a less cold and logical way), but I kind of want to save that for another post lmao
He is especially hard on Cecil because Cecil says & does whatever he wants, and everything still works out for him, which is a way of life that Camus can't imagine for himself at all (despite maybe wanting it?)
That he can realize this and eventually admit out loud, despite all his pride, is also one of my favorite things about him
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Season 2 does hint at something, so that's pretty cool!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Side note, I really love that his theme in the new Oracle series is "Change," the melting of ice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So what was the anime supposed to do??
Of course there's no way to show all this in a single episode or even during the runtime of the anime, and I never expected them to because the story is very surface-level (that goes for all characters).
It's just unfortunate since the anime is the most accessible and well-known utapri media in the western fandom, and the character's main episode is bound to leave the biggest impression.
I understand the choice of being laser-focused on the servant plotline, it's supposed to be funny (?) and waters him down to a trope that's easy to understand at first glance (the step-on-me guy I guess)
Still, I can't help but compare it to Ranmaru's episode, who was also hard to work with in the games but was chill in S3E7 and got to pet cats. Anime onlys will never know how much Camus loves to dote on his dog smh.....

[Masterpost] Uta no Prince-sama Dramatic Masterpiece Show Translations
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello, hello~!! I am back with more UtaPri translations thanks to @melynir~! This time, I present to you the Dramatic Masterpiece Show trilogy! They're adaptations of classic books we all know and love, but of course, they have their own UtaPri twist added~ The main theme songs and, I guess one could say, insert theme songs were all so good and fun to listen to. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be Faust's songs!
The dramas are mostly faithful to the source material, with Dreaming of Oz being the closest (in my opinion), but there are still lots of twists and turns that will definitely keep you seated! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
For those who wish to listen along, the CDs can still be purchased here: Dreaming of Oz | Never Again Neverland | Faust: Last Cantata
Without further ado, here they are! (((o(*°▽°*)o)))
Dramatic Masterpiece Show: Dreaming of Oz
Dramatic Masterpiece Show: Never Again Neverland
Dramatic Masterpiece Show: Faust: Last Cantata
※ Please don’t re-post or re-translate these without permission!!! If you enjoyed this, please consider buying me a ko-fi here to support my work! It’ll be a really big help. (o^▽^o)Thank you!!

ASSMU Behind the Stage Ver.B [Masato, Ren, Ranmaru, Kira, Van] - Translation
Tumblr media
Translator's notes can be found at the end and are marked with an asterisk.
Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.
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]

More Quartet Night CDs for the TABOO NIGHT XXXX movie have been announced!
Tumblr media
Starting on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, solo CDs, duet CDs, and medley CDs of the four members will be released every other week for three consecutive months! You can find the list of CDs, songs, and all details at the website here!
They release in standard order, Reiji through Camus. Then the duet CD with a Reiji and Ranmaru duet, and Ai and Camus duet. Just like SAMURAIZM and UUUU, there is a special edition for each pair but the tracks are the same. The final CD is new medley songs. This contains 1 more Quartet Night song, and then 1 more song per boy with the other 3 as backup vocal/chorus.
All of the solo CDs come with 1 drama track, and the duet and medley CDs have multiple drama tracks.
Ordering each CD through Animate JP or Broccoli before January 26th will get you a special clear card for that CD. Ordering all 6 CDs through Animate JP or Broccoli will get you special bonuses. Animate has an autograph board and 7 CD storage box (you only have to order 1 version of the duet CD, but it will fit both if you get both). And Broccoli will have a drama CD. And then there's lottery prizes from the Animate CDs. This is all very similar to how it was with the QN Solo Best CDs.
All of these CDs should release as usual on US iTunes as well. The only exception will be the previously announced Quartet Night TABOO NIGHT XXXX CD which will likely be streaming only on Spotify and YouTube Music.
