Please note that I am not a professional translator and I'm only doing this to share the side materials to those who cannot access them, if you notice any mistakes please let me know nicely. Enjoy!

Momo: Heyyy Yuki-san heyyy

Yuki: I’m here

Momo: Oh. here comes Yuki!!!!! 🫣🫣  what are you doing right now?

Yuki: here comes yuki

Yuki: Harvesting pea sprouts

Momo: Now that’s the best lololololol 

Momo: You’re the handsomest for doing that in the middle of the night. Well no, it’s too cute. But also still too handsome

Yuki: Who did you go drinking with today?

Momo: How did you know I was drinking!?!? I went with Gakuuu!!!

Yuki: Gaku-kun, huh. I can also tell you just finished drinking and you’re in a taxi

Momo: Whaaat!? Are you watching me from somewhere!?! Could this dandy driver actually be Yuki in disguise!?!?

Yuki: That's hilarious

Yuki: You always send me a rabbichat out of nowhere like this after drinking, pretty amusing how easy it is to tell because you're always in high spirits.

Momo: I guess my darling can see right through me…🥹

Momo: Whenever I'm drinking, I always think things like “Yuki would like this flavor" or "I'm sure Yuki would laugh a lot if I told him this story" so… 

Momo: When I'm having drinks without you I just really wanna chat with you afterwards...🥹

Yuki: You say such romantic things

Momo: I feel that sense of comfort you get from being back home… 

Yuki: Would you like some peaches? You've always liked them

Momo: That's right, you always remember the things I liked when I was younger...

Yuki: Here, I made plenty of stewed dishes, so take some with you. I also packed some rice crackers and candies. Don't overwork yourself.

Momo: That's how it is right? you always made me take home more food than I can eat by myself...

Momo: But you sound like Old Man Yuki right now lololololol your image of a family house is way too high!? lolol

Yuki: I just watched a TV drama about stuff like that

Yuki: Were you and Gaku-kun shooting for "La’Stiara" at the same time?

Momo: No, we just happened to bump into each other at the studio after the shoot! 

Momo: Gaku didn't have any plans after that, so I invited him for a drink 

Momo: He said “I'm so happy to go drinking with you for the first time in a while, Momo-san!" he looked so happyy~~

Yuki: How cute

Momo: Isn’t hee~~!! 😳 I almost gave him the gem I had on me 😳

Yuki: That's funny. Though Gaku-kun doesn't seem that interested in jewelry

Momo: that’s right lolol but he has a dignified face so I’m looking forward to seeing the gem + Gaku combo picture released to the public 🥺

Momo: By the way Yuki! We were talking about instant tempura soba. Do you add the tempura before or after you pour the hot water!?!?

Yuki: Now that sounds like a drinking party question

Momo: We were talking about buying tempura soba from the convenience store as a late-night snack and it somehow turned into a conversation topic lol

Yuki: Momo, you put it in first then add the hot water, right?

Momo: Yeah!! I ate it that way first because I thought I’d get a bigger portion that way but I grew to love it 🥹 It soaks up all the flavor and it's delicious!!!

Yuki: Yeah, I get it. The juiciness is delicious

Momo: Right!?!? As expected of you, Darling!

Yuki: What about Gaku-kun?

Momo: "I like to taste both the crispy tempura and the smooth texture of soba, so I add it afterward."

Yuki: I get it. Enjoying different textures is important

Momo: Huh!!!! But you just said you understood my way! Are you a post-water tempura person? 🥹

Yuki: I eat them separately.

Momo: lololololol a surprise third option!!!!

Yuki: I thought it might be interesting.

Momo: Yuki, you're always making conversations more lively during drinking parties, you’re so handsome,,,!!!!!!!

Yuki: I know

Momo:

Momo: Can I take you to this place I took Gaku to next time? It's pretty lively though

Yuki: Of course. Was it a good place?

Momo: Actually it was opened by the manager of an izakaya I used to work at back in the day!!!

Momo: Do you remember it? The place with the really delicious rolled omelets!

Yuki: Isn’t that the manager who used to pack you meal boxes to take home?

Momo: Yes, yes!! Isn't that a huge coincidence!!! He even recognized me! 

Momo:  He said he buys our CDs every time

Yuki: I remember him. He used to hand out flyers for our concerts to the customers at the izakaya.

Yuki: He was a really nice guy. Now that I'm looking back, we were really blessed with the people around us.

Momo: I really think so too. And because of that I wanted to chat with you even more, Yuki!

Yuki: Let's take a bunch of our juniors there to repay the favor. I'm sure he'll be happy to see how successful of a senior you've become.

Momo: Yeah...! If I told my past self that I'd become the Absolute Kings with you he'd be super surprised.

Yuki: If I told my past self that I learned to appreciate people and the environment surrounding me right now he'd be surprised too.

Momo: But Yuki, you've always been super, super kind, you know!? you wouldn't have accepted my unreasonable request otherwise

Yuki: Momo

Yuki: Let's talk about this in detail tomorrow. We've been reminiscing about old times a lot lately, but it feels like a waste to only rabbichat about them

Momo: Yuki...

Yuki: And

Yuki: sleepy

Momo: lololol you must be sleepy right!!! Thanks for chatting with me 😆😆

Momo: See you tomorrow, Yuki!!

Yuki:

(IDOLiSH7) Minami Natsume - La'Stiara Rabbit Chat

Please note that I am not a professional translator. If you come across any mistakes, feel free to let me know and I will make the necessary corrections.

Haruka Isumi:

Minami Natsume:

Haruka Isumi: That was fast

Minami Natsume: I just had a feeling you’d message me, Isumi-san.

Haruka Isumi: Seriously? How’d you know?! By fortune-telling or something?

Minami Natsume: No, it was the look on your face as we were wrapping up the recording.

Haruka Isumi: My face?!

Minami Natsume: You looked like you kept thinking, “Should I say it? No, maybe I shouldn't…” over and over, so it piqued my curiosity.

Haruka Isumi: Whaaaat? Oh come onnn, what kinda face is that supposed to beeeee

Minami Natsume: 😖 😒

Minami Natsume: ↑ Something like this perhaps?

Haruka Isumi: I gotta be more careful…

Minami Natsume: Did something happen?

Haruka Isumi: Um, well

Haruka Isumi: You know that movie you said you wanted to see? The trailer for it is out now, right?

Minami Natsume: Yes, it is. Even just from the trailer, it looks interesting, doesn’t it?

Minami Natsume: It’s a story where a murder that takes place in a locked room of a mansion triggers the unraveling of mysteries, and I hear there's a shocking twist at the end.

Haruka Isumi: Yeah, it looked like it had tons of hints and foreshadowing

Haruka Isumi: And you know how it’s opening this weekend?

Minami Natsume: Yes. Since I have the day off, I was thinking of going to see it on opening day

Haruka Isumi: I was just wondering if you're planning to go with someone

Minami Natsume: No, I’m planning to go alone for now

Minami Natsume: Though if anyone were to invite me, I’d love to go together…

Haruka Isumi: Um, in that case

Haruka Isumi: How about we go together? I have the afternoon off too!

Minami Natsume: I would love to. Are you sure?

Minami Natsume: I was actually hoping I could go with you, Isumi-san.

Haruka Isumi: Really?!

Minami Natsume: Yes. Let’s get some popcorn and share it together 🍿

Haruka Isumi: We totally should! I want caramel popcorn 😆

Minami Natsume: In that case, I’ll go for salted. Alternating between sweet and salty is the best, wouldn't you agree? 🍿

Haruka Isumi: I’m super excited!! Thanks, Minami

Haruka Isumi:

Haruka Isumi: Oh, by the way, wanna stop by the agency after the movie? I heard from Utsugi-san that they’ve gathered all the fan letters from our last concert there

Minami Natsume: Sounds great; let's do that. It makes me happy that we’re receiving so many now.

Haruka Isumi: Me too; I love reading the fan letters. The way they use such beautiful words to express their feelings so honestly just moves me

Minami Natsume: I get what you mean. I try to express myself through my lyrics, but a letter is something that is written with such care, each word chosen just for that one person

Minami Natsume: They pick out cute stationery and pour their hearts into it. Just thinking about that makes it all the more precious, doesn’t it?

Haruka Isumi: Yeah

Haruka Isumi: I want to live up to all the fans’ expectations even more. For all the love they give us, I want to make sure they know we treasure them just as much in return

Minami Natsume: I’m sure your feelings will reach them. Especially with how we are now, I believe they will.

Haruka Isumi: Yup!

Haruka Isumi: You wrote that in the “La’Stiara” questionnaire too, didn’t you? The part where they asked, "When do you feel you shine like a jewel the most?" and you answered with “Now.”

Minami Natsume: Yes. Right now — the present — where I have my members by my side is when I can truly be myself and feel most human.

Minami Natsume: That’s why I feel like we can accomplish anything, including fulfilling your wish, Isumi-san.

Haruka Isumi: Hehe, we all really love ŹOOĻ, don’t we?

Minami Natsume: That’s right. You wrote, “When I’m with ŹOOĻ” in response to that question as well, didn't you?

Haruka Isumi: Well... yeah, I did! But Touma and Torao basically said the same thing too

Haruka Isumi: Touma wrote, “When I’m doing ŹOOĻ stuff,” and Torao wrote, “When I’m with my members” 😏

Minami Natsume: “Doing ŹOOĻ stuff” — that's an interesting way to put it

Haruka Isumi: It's such a Touma-like answer lol

Minami Natsume: And Mido-san has become more honest with himself, too.

Haruka Isumi: Riiighhtt? The old Torao would’ve probably written something like “I've been shining since the day I was born" 😑😑

Minami Natsume: I can picture that so vividly.

Haruka Isumi: Lmao

Haruka Isumi: Hey, wanna invite the other two and read the fan letters together? Don’t know if our schedules will line up, but...

Minami Natsume: That sounds wonderful.

Minami Natsume: Let’s make time so all four of us can take in the fans’ heartfelt words together.

Haruka Isumi: Yeah! I feel like it’ll make us even more determined to do more as a team of four!

Minami Natsume: Inumaru-san may have a knack for leading us forward, but you’re really good at it, too, Isumi-san.

Haruka Isumi: Am I…? I've never really thought about it

Minami Natsume: Thank you for always inspiring us. I’m looking forward to the movie 🍿

Haruka Isumi: Yeah!! I’ll text you again later 🍿🍿

The End.

Inumaru Touma - Drama Collection (Spring) RabbiChat

Touma: Izumi, good morning!

Great work on yesterday’s drama shooting!

Touma: There’s something I’m curious about so I messaged you

Did you manage to finish your math homework…? Iori: Good morning, Inumaru-san.

I managed to finish on time so I’ll submit it later today.

Touma: Oooooh!!

I’m glad!!!! ✨✨

I was curious if you’re holding up well because it was a lot and we have filming as well.

Iori: I apologize for bringing my homework to the set.

I must’ve worried you.

Touma: Don’t worry about it!

The staff were worried about you too!

Touma: Or rather, when I think about it now… Was I in your way when I kept looking because I was curious about your homework 😭?!

Sorry!

Iori: Not really. Rather it was a good opportunity for me to revise and review.

Iori: Thank you for the okara[1] cookie you’ve given me before we left.

Touma: I’m happy for those words 😭

You mentioned doing your homework when you get home, so I thought it’s better if I give you a snack to eat at night

Touma: When I went to the convenience store during break time, I was thinking of a food you could eat with one hand that’s like you, so I picked it! 👍

Iori: Am I like an okara?

Touma: No, sorry. I didn’t mean you’re like it, but it’s like… an okara and you are neat and clean?

Pretty? Something like that?!

Will this convey properly?!?!

Iori: I-I do not understand, but… Thank you for thinking about me.

It conveyed that you’re a very kind person as the rumor says.

Touma: Rumor?

Iori: Isumi-san compliments you and says “Touma looks after people so much it’s annoying.”

Touma:

Touma: That doesn’t sound like a compliment, though?! Lolol

Iori: No, it’s Isumi-san’s love language. He was smiling when he said it, so he’s very happy.

Touma: I hope it is…

Does Haru talk about us a lot? 😳

Iori: Or rather, very much.

Iori:  “When we went for a yakiniku, he asked me if I was eating properly as he kept putting meat on my plate. And he always looks at my plate. So annoying.”

Touma: A-and his expression at that time is…

Iori: He was smiling from ear to ear.

Touma: He was smiling from ear to ear 😆

Touma: I see~~!

He was mad at me and said, “You don’t have to because I don’t eat it! You should eat properly too!” but he was really happy! I’ll give him more meat next time!

Touma: The seven of you are living together, but have you all dined out?

Iori: Yes, sometimes.

But most of the time we’re accompanied by our Manager or the agency’s staff.

Touma: Whoa, I’m jealous! That sounds fun!!

And you’re with your Manager!

Iori: We’re going to stand out since we’re a large group. So there’s preparations being considered.

Touma: Oh yeah, since there’s 7 of you there’s bound to have problems!

What did you all eat? 🤩

Iori: A lot of meat, as expected. And there’s a delicious okonomiyaki restaurant in our neighborhood. We go there to eat as well.

Touma: That’s sooooo nice!! Having 7 people eat okonomiyaki and being lively sounds fun!! 🤩✨

I should invite Utsugi-san next time

Iori: And just like you, Nii-san also asks us, “Are you all eating properly?”

Touma: Mitsuki-san does that too~! Now I’m getting really curious!

Iori: When he says that, he intentionally gives us neatly cooked meat.

There are no words to say about his consideration.

Has someone done that to you?

Touma: Aaaaaahhhhhhh

Haru was mad at that too…

Touma: So that means it’s him showing his

Touma: Love…

Iori: Well

Iori: It is.

Touma: Yeah! I’m glad to start a good discussion in the morning!! Thanks Izumi 😭😭

Iori: It’s nothing… Perhaps I’ve talked too much

Touma: I’m happy that our bonds deepened just like in the drama 👍

Iori: My role was admiring you, and I enrolled in the same school as you.

Touma: Yup! And soon we’ll have a confrontation against Nikaidou-san in the climax!

I’m gonna do my best so I can show you the cool me 🔥

Iori: Not to me, but to my role as your junior.

Touma: Well, yeah. I got happy when you complimented me while I was practicing skateboard techniques lol

Iori: Your reflexes were always great, but I was amazed how you learned a trick in such a short time…

Iori: It's good learning material.

Touma: Eh, I’m so happy…

Touma: I’m as happy as being told “I don’t care what anyone says, I’m proud to say he’s the world’s coolest senior!”

Iori: Like I said, that’s my role’s dialogue as well!

Inumaru-san, are you the type to be startled when you meet an actor who played a villain?

Touma: Eh, how can you tell?! I’m not sure if I’m just bad at it, but I just go, “Ah!” suddenly 😂 lolol

Iori: We also have a member who is easily influenced.

Touma: I’m glad that Izumi’s a good guy…

Iori: I think I understand the reason why Isumi-san opened his heart to ZOOL.

Touma: Really?! Isn’t he showing his pitiable side too much?!

Touma: Are you going to bring your homework in the next set?

Iori:  I don’t think it’s possible now that we’re going to spend more time filming.

Touma: Then I’m going to bring you snacks to accompany you again!

That way I show my status as your senior! 🔥

Iori: Something else besides an okara that’s like me?

Touma: Maybe konpeitou[2] or macarons?!

I’ll think about it 💪

Iori: Thank you very much. I’ll look forward to our next filming.

Touma:

TL Notes:

[1] - okara - also called sou pulp or tofu dreg, is an edible pulp separated from soymilk during the tofu production.

Momo's "An Idol's Daily Life" Rabbitchat Part 1

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Highly Nutritious ☆ Home-cooked meal

Tsumugi: Thank you for your hard work, Momo-san. And thank you for inviting us on “NEXT Re:vale” today!

Tsumugi: It appears that everyone enjoyed that “Make a heart flutter with pre-determined lines!” project.

Momo: Good work, Maneko-chan~! (*´∀`*)/ Recording was really fun, wasn’t it!

Momo: It was worth planning this project with the staff!

Tsumugi: All of the assigned lines on the pieces of paper that got pulled from the box were so funny that Okazaki-san and I ended up laughing a lot!

Momo: Even though lines like “I’m hungry” or “my feet are itchy” are silly, they’d whisper them in a sexy way to make them heart-pounding, so they ended up sounding really surreal and funny www*

Tsumugi: But when Idols like you all say them, they somehow sound cool, so it was rather strange!

Momo: I know right~~~~!!

Momo: My heart skipped a beat too when Yamato hugged me from behind and whispered “Do you want to add Gochujang?” (*/∇ \*)

Tsumugi: Yamato-san was in high spirits as well! lol

Momo: He really gave his all for that “Go~chu~jang” huh www

Momo: His breathing was impressive ww

Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san’s composed “What kind of situation is this!” tsukkomi* response right after was brilliant!

Momo: Right! As expected of IDOLiSH7! Their tsukkomi and boke balance is amazing!

Tsumugi: Thank you! I’m sure Mitsuki-san will be happy to hear this, so I’ll let him know!

Momo:

Tsumugi: Your heart-pounding line was also wonderful, Momo-san! The part you said “Games are only allowed for one hour a day” while kabedoning Tamaki-san!

Momo: Thank you (*´∀`)*。Though Tamaki immediately went “no way” ww

Momo: It was fun and the flow ended up being really interesting, including Sougo who came from the stage seats in a panic to try and convince me to nod and agree with him!

Momo: But it was so exciting we ended up dragging the shoot a bit longer, were you okay with the job after that?

Tsumugi: Yes! Thanks to everyone’s cooperation, we left quickly and managed to finish the shoot at the next location on schedule!

Momo: That’s a relief~! Then, are you done for the day? It’s late, so be careful going home.

Tsumugi: Thank you for your concern! I will be, I think I’ll just get some groceries for dinner and go home.

Momo: Making dinner after work is quite impressive!?

Momo: I hadn’t even thought about making anything (+･`−･´)

Tsumugi: I won’t be making anything too elaborate, but I guess I’ve just made a habit of it..!

Tsumugi: What do you usually do, Momo-san?

Momo: Usually I just get a bento or catering in the dressing room!

Momo: I order delivery on my days off _(:3」∠)_

Tsumugi: There are many kinds nowadays so it’s quite convenient, isn’t it! I also like to order sweets on my days off.

Momo: That’s nice! Like watching the movies and TV dramas you’ve been recording* with the latte and donut you got delivered in hand!

Tsumugi: That's exactly it!

Momo: (≥▽≤)/□☆□/(≥▽≤)

Tsumugi: (≥▽≤)/□☆□/(≥▽≤)

Momo: You went along with it www Thanks ww

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: However, if you only eat bento you might get nutritional imbalance so please be careful..!

Momo: Maneko-chan, you're so kind (;∀;) Thank you ☆

Momo: Yuki invited me over today, so it’s okay (つω<")

Momo: He said that since I haven’t been eating well lately, he made beef stew with lots of vegetables!

Tsumugi: Oh! So you are at Yuki-san’s house!

Tsumugi: Making a home-cooked meal with so much thought put into it, as expected of Yuki-san!

Momo: He’s the best darling after all(o/▽`)/:*・° °・*

Momo: I thought I could help, but I was told I'm on the bench*, so now I'm just sitting quietly and waiting (´・ω・`)

Tsumugi:

Translator's notes:

1)“www” is one of the japanese equivalents to “lol” but i wanted to differentiate it from tsumugi’s “(笑)” (also “lol”) so I chose to translate hers and leave Momo’s as is, since I use “www” a lot as is myself lol

2)Anyone who’s read idolish7 content by this point probably knows this, but just in case, the “straight man” (tsukkomi) and “funny man” (boke) act is a kind of japanese comedy duo where the boke says something silly or creates a misunderstanding and the tsukkomi corrects them

3) Momo refers to the shows you can record on your tv to watch later, idk if this is a thing much anymore in the west but i do believe it is still in japan.

4)Momo basically said that Yuki told him he's off-duty but the word he uses is apparently used in sports to convey a player that was not chosen to play in the team, momo is a sportsman after all~ www

[ID: a picture of Gaku from Idolish7. He's reaching out to the viewer and has a speech bubble that says "HEY. BIG. HOTDOG. PLEASE". A caption at the bottom says "POV: you own a hotdog cart in new york". End ID]

this is canon im not kidding

[ID: text screenshot.

Tamaki: Gakkun, you can speak English?! Gaku: Leave it to me. I don’t even need to ask the guide. T: Seriously, cooool…! G: You just need to put spirit into it. HEY! BIG, HOTDOG, PLEASE! T: Gakkun, that’s no different than me!!

Stolen from @funuya's collection, translated by @10ShineOnTheSea on twitter, too funny not to meme on

"average person owns 5 copes of the Shinsengumi drama DVD" factoid actually just statistical error. Tsunashi Ryunosuke, who owns 300,000 copies is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Ryuu singlehandedly causing a dvd shortage by buying all available stock so he can hand out Gaku's dvds to every person he meets in a day

Gaku: bro they said only 1 person bought the dvd of my drama, where were you in my hour of need?

Ryuu, carrying fifteen boxes: i was buying their entire stock :D

Gaku: Bro :,)

Please take my translations with a grain of salt as there may be mistakes. If you see any, please let me know and I can correct them. If anyone else has this card and wants to translate this at any time then please feel free to do so!

Minami: Good morning, Isumi-san. 

Minami: I fell asleep yesterday. 

I’m sorry I didn’t see your rabbitchat 

Minami: 

Haruka: Morninggg Minami 

why that stamp lol 

Haruka: I sent it late so don’t worry about it 

Minami: That’s true, it was about the time good children should be sleeping.

Did something happen? 

Minami: You just said “you asleep?” so I was wondering. 

Haruka: I’m not that good of a kid! 

Haruka: I just wanted to tell you to get some sleep just in case you were still awake 

Since you were having writer’s block lately with composing 

Haruka: You looked like you didn’t get a lot of sleep yesterday 

Minami: Oh my, I intended to hide it so it wouldn’t show on my face, but it seems you saw right through me.

Minami: You’re very kind, Isumi-san. 

Haruka: It’s not like that!!! 

Since everyone else besides me noticed too ⚡️

Haruka:

Minami:

Minami: I thought it was odd that Inumaru-san and Midou-san kept giving me sweets. 

Minami: Even Utsugi-san suggested ordering ramen. 

He said if I really wanted to eat it and unavoidable circumstances prevented me from going out, then I could have it delivered 

Minami: But if I’m going to eat ramen then I would definitely go to a restaurant for it. 

Haruka: I get your ramen obsession lol 

Haruka: Touma and Torao were rabbitchatting me asking if it would be a good idea to give you some sleep goods, but it put me in a tough spot! 😤

Haruka: They just keep randomly sending me a bunch of links to stuff! 

No matter how many times I tell them you aren’t the type to have that much stuff in your room, they just don’t listen 😤 ⚡️

Minami: You’re all so adorable. 

They’re relying on you, aren’t they Isumi-san?

Minami: I’ll be sure to send a thank you text later 

Haruka: True! That’s why you should rely on me like everyone else does Minami 

Minami: I will. I’ll depend on you next time 

Minami: Actually, I finished it yesterday. The new song, I mean. 

Minami:

Haruka:

Haruka:

Haruka: Hell yeah!!! Let me listen to it during our dance lesson today!!!! 

Haruka: Ahhhhh, but I’m going to be a bit late todayyyy……!!!! 

Minami: You have the La’ Stiara shoot today, right? 

Haruka: Don’t let everyone listen to it before I get there!! Please 😭😭😭

Minami: Of course. We’ll wait for you

Minami: Please do your best during the photoshoot. 

You must have practiced your poses and facial expressions for today, right? 

Haruka: Wha

Haruka: How did you know?! 

Minami: Just a feeling. 

You’re the type of person who has a very strong stage presence, but you’re always working hard

Haruka: M-maybe 

Haruka: Then you also knew that I asked Utsugi-san to send me past La’ Stiara issues for reference…? 

Minami: I didn’t know that much. 

Haruka: Then I just said it on my own!!!!!!

Minami: It’s something wonderful, I don’t think you need to hide it. 

Minami: I do know that yesterday in the dressing room you spilled donut filling and got chocolate on your clothes so you were feeling down about it 

Haruka: You

Haruka: You saw that…..? 

Minami: On your left hem. 

Sorry, I was just wondering whether or not it came off? 

Haruka: My grandma taught me how to remove stains so I got it off......

Haruka: But I hid it so nobody could see it...!!!!

Haruka:

Haruka:

Minami: Speaking of, Inumaru-san and Midou-san were worried that you perhaps injured your leg since you were hiding your left hem with your hand. 

Haruka: lol

Why don’t they just ask the person themselves lolol 

Minami: We’re all like that, aren’t we? 

Haruka: Trueee.

We’re not very good at the important stuff 

Haruka: Hey Minami, don’t forget to take care of yourself more, okay? 

Get more sleep 

Minami: I’ll do my best. 

Minami: For reference, what do you do to take care of yourself, Isumi-san? 

Haruka: 1. I eat a lot of sweets or 

2. I eat a lot of delicious food with Grandma 

Minami: Food is the way after all, like ramen 

Haruka: 3. Everyone sings the music made by Minami 

Haruka: That’s the best way, right?  

Minami: The best. 

Minami: I’m excited for you to hear it today 

Haruka:

Minami:

Yuki: Momo

Yuki: 🕺 I saw this emoji and it reminded me of your sleeping posture back when we used to live together 

Momo: !?!? lolololololol

Momo: What the hell this is so embarrassing!! 😂 was I really like this 😂 lololol 

By the way, since you’re sending me such a mischievous rabbichat, you must be free right now!!!!

Yuki: you get it?

Momo: I get it!!! 

The thought of Yuki scrolling through emojis and thinking of me makes my heart race 🥺🥺

Momo: Is it break time over at 'La’Stiara'?

Yuki: Yeah. It's boring without you

Momo: Oh, youuuu~~~ darling ‼ I'm off today, so I’m free as well!

What do you wanna talk about? Let’s take a quiz!

Momo: Is what I would say, but sorry if it sounds childish 😭

Yuki: I’d like to take a quiz

Momo: That's right! That’s the best way to play for someone as handsome as you!!! Alright, here we go!!

Momo: What do I want right now? 😎✨

Yuki: A necklace for everyday wear

Momo: Ding-ding ding-ding 🤩💫

You hit the jackpot! Yuki knows me well, you’re the most handsome...!! (*´艸｀)

You shine brighter than any jewel!!

Yuki: That's right ^^

Momo: 

Yuki: The other day you sent me a bunch of URLS for necklaces and asked which one looks good

Momo: Hey how do you remember that lololol

Momo: I thought you forgot because you said any of them would look good 🥺

Yuki: That’s because I genuinely thought any of them would look good on you. It wasn’t that I was disinterested or anything

Momo: 

Momo: I am going to buy all of them.

Yuki: Haha

Yuki: Here's a question

Momo: Bring it on lol

Yuki: What’s the first thing I ate in yesterday’s lunch bento box?

Momo: you always come up with tough questions, yuki 😳‼ 

Momo: But you know what? I got this one in the bag! The answer is "the Broccoli with Bonito Flakes" that came as a side dish!

Yuki: Correct. You got it right

Momo: Yesterday's lunch was from your favorite restaurant! I know you always eat the broccoli first :pudding cheer:

Yuki: Boiling it to perfection makes it delicious

Yuki: You can see through everything Momo. I can't lie to you

Yuki: From sleeping habits to even food preferences, we know everything about each other don’t we

Momo: 

Momo: I never thought I'd be so close to you to the point where I’d know everything about you!

Momo: At first I was content with listening to your music from the audience, and then I was content with helping you out and being as useful as possible

Momo: I've become quite greedy...

Momo: Juuust kidding 🥴 sorry for getting sentimental all of a sudden 🤗‼ good luck with the 'La’Stiara' shoot ‼

Yuki: I'm the greedy one

Yuki: Momo, when you told me you liked my songs, you reminded me of the joy of making music and the purpose of my life

Yuki: I want to continue making music with you forever

Momo: Yuki

Momo: Yukiiiiiiiiiiii,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yuki: Yes?

Momo: You’re so handsome,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yuki: I know.

Momo: Is it really my day off today? am I supposed to be normal after being bombarded with your powerful words??? I can't calm down you know???

Yuki: Momo, what are your plans for today?

Momo: Absolutely nothing!!!

Yuki: I think I’m gonna finish work early today as well

Momo: w   which means...!!???? 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yuki: I'm inviting you to dinner.

Momo: I'm coming!!! I am SO coming!!! Is it okay if I come to your place!?

Yuki: Mhm. I'll buy delicious meat on my way home.Just like that day

Momo: I can’t

Momo: This is not good, Yuki… I might burst into tears if I see your face today

Yuki: If they’re tears of joy then I’m fine with it

Momo: How in the world can I be anything but happy!!! 

Back then, our house was so small but was so full of hope

Momo: Now we live in a big house, but we haven't changed at all

Yuki: That's right. We are sharing the music we make together with the world as idols

Yuki: Always, and forever, nothing will ever change.

Momo: Thank you, Yuki. Those words bring me so much relief, they’re like a good luck charm for me. I feel like I can do anything.

Momo: I’ll be waiting for you to finish your shoot!!

Yuki:

TL NOTES:

Yuki says "just like that day" in reference to a re:member scene where he uses money he gets from Chiba Shizuo during their debut days to buy Momo expensive meat. Yuki cries from happiness on his way home, which is why he tells Momo he's fine with tears of joys.

Please note that I am not a professional translator. If you come across any mistakes, feel free to let me know and I will make the necessary corrections.

Touma Inumaru:

Touma Inumaru: Toraaaa

Touma Inumaru: Remember the other day when we talked about going for a drive soon now that the weather’s getting nicer? I found a day off next week 👍

Torao Mido: What’s this? Are you that eager to go on a drive with me?

Touma Inumaru: Oh, would it be better if it’s not so soon? 🤔 If that’s the case, I guess we can just do it another time

Torao Mido: Huh?

Touma Inumaru: Eh?

Torao Mido: Just say you want to go! You said "soon", so next week is perfect, isn't it!?

Touma Inumaru: So that day works for you!? Why can’t you just say you want to go like a normal person!

Torao Mido: If you want to go, I can join you.

Touma Inumaru: Geez, fine, fine! I really wanna go to the beach with you, Tora! 😆

Touma Inumaru:

Torao Mido: The beach, huh. Not a bad idea

Torao Mido: I know a quiet, peaceful spot in Kamakura that doesn't get many visitors. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the view of the ocean.

Touma Inumaru: That's our Tora! 👍 I wonder if they sell Ramune somewhere near the beach… or maybe it's out of season already?

Torao Mido: Ramune? Like the candy?

Touma Inumaru: Not that kind; I mean the one Haru was drinking the other day!

Torao Mido: Ah, the one he said he received after helping out the neighborhood association with his grandma?

Touma Inumaru: Yup, that! Ever since I saw him drinking it, I’ve been craving it too 😆 Drinking it outdoors just makes it taste even better!

Torao Mido: Why do they have a marble ball inside them?

Touma Inumaru: Huh, good question…

Touma Inumaru: Why do they…? Maybe it's because the clinking sound makes it feel refreshing… or something...?

Torao Mido: Well, it did make a nice sound…

Touma Inumaru: Right? Sometimes they sell bottles without the marble, but it's just not as exciting 🤩

Torao Mido: Can you take the marble out?

Touma Inumaru: Nope, you can’t! When I was a kid, my friends and I tried so hard to get it out~~! Man, this brings back memories! 🤩✨

Torao Mido: I looked it up. Apparently, it's there to seal the bottle and keep the carbonation inside

Touma Inumaru: Is that so?!?! The marble actually has an important job, huh

Touma Inumaru: We’re definitely buying ones that have the marble ball! You’re coming shopping with me, Tora! 👍

Torao Mido: Got it. For food, let’s go to that restaurant you recommended before. That’s in Kamakura too, right?

Touma Inumaru: Sounds good, let’s go!! Their seafood rice bowls are insanely good 🤤

Torao Mido: Is it a ticket machine place?

Torao Mido: I should bring cash too. I’ve learned that many older places often don’t accept cashless payments

Touma Inumaru: Tora~~! You adapt way too fast LOL

Touma Inumaru: Nah, it’s the kind where you just place your order with the sweet old lady there. But you’re right; they only accepted cash 😳

Touma Inumaru: Man, you’ve really settled in, Tora!

Torao Mido: Well, there’s nothing I can’t do.

Touma Inumaru: But still, here you are talking about ticket machines and stuff, yet in "La’Stiara" you were looking all cool and glamorous holding that jewel… it's so unfair! 😆 ‼️

Torao Mido: "La’Stiara" has been close with my family ever since I was a kid, and we've been in their care. I doubt there's anyone better suited for this than me.

Touma Inumaru: Seriously!?

Touma Inumaru: So while I was desperately trying to get the marbles out of Ramune bottles and getting excited about pretty pebbles I found lying around, you were already holding actual jewels… 😳 ‼️

Torao Mido: It’s not like I wanted them. I was just supposed to have such things.

Torao Mido: But

Torao Mido: What kind of “pretty pebbles” are you talking about?

Touma Inumaru: Hmm, well, they don't compare to the jewels we held in our photoshoots, but sometimes you find these really clear and beautifully colored stones just lying around! 😳 ✨

Touma Inumaru: Or even ones that are super smooth and shiny! ✨

Torao Mido: Interesting…..

Touma Inumaru: Wanna go look for some next time!? We can invite Haru and Mina too!

Torao Mido: Think they'll come?

Touma Inumaru: Of course they will!! Stuff like this is fun no matter how old you get! 😆

Torao Mido: Is that so?

Torao Mido: Guess I’ll give it a try then

Touma Inumaru: Awesome! I’m happy I've got even more plans with you guys now 👍

Touma Inumaru: I mean, I never would've imagined this was even possible considering how we used to be!

Torao Mido: Touma, you get emotional about this kind of stuff a lot, huh?

Touma Inumaru: Yeah, but can you blame me?!! 😂 Tora starts liking the stuff we like, Haru eats sweets like they’re the tastiest thing ever right in front of us, and we go to the cool restaurants Mina finds together!

Touma Inumaru: What could possibly be better than this? 😂

Torao Mido: Yeah, maybe you’re right

Torao Mido: I think I get how you feel now, Touma

Torao Mido: I have a feeling the pretty pebbles we find together might be worth more than any jewels.

Touma Inumaru: Tora…

Touma Inumaru: I’m reaaallllyyy looking forward to our drive!!!

Touma Inumaru:

Torao Mido: Yeah. I am too

Torao Mido:

The End.

Nikaidou Yamato - 16PRODUCERS RabbiChat

Tamaki: Iorin come to Yama-san’s rooooom

Tamaki: Hurryyyy

Tamaki: I

Tamaki: o

Tamaki: riiiiiiin

Iori: How vexing.

Iori: Or rather, there is still time.

Have you done your homework?

Tamaki: (king pudding emoji) (cat emoji) (rabbit emoji)

Iori: Please do not dodge my question with such emoji.

Tamaki: Geeeeez Yama-san you should get him here too!

Yamato: Ichi

Yamato: The room’s tidier than before and I’ve prepared zabuton[1]. Will you come here?

Iori: Somehow, the way you invite sounds repulsive?

Yamato: No way?!

Tamaki: The way you invite sounds like an old man

Yamato: I’m the lead today, right…?

Iori: Anyway, I’ll be on my way.

Tamaki:

Tsumugi: Thank you for your work!

I was wondering when I’ll get a notification, but everyone’s already assembled…!

Yamato: Great work, Manager

The three of us have gathered in my room just now

Yamato: Tama laid out lots of sweets and juice

Iori: It’s like a field trip

Tsumugi: I can imagine it! (laugh)

What kind of sweets did you prepare?

Tamaki: Shredded and dried squid[2], crackers, jerky, choco, potato chips, gummies, marshmallow, cookie

Yamato: I’m thankful for the first half of the list

Iori: It is getting late, so let us start

Tsumugi: I agree…!

So, let me explain the aim of this project once again.

Tsumugi: Our discussion will be done via RabbiChat as there were expectations from the other party to see everyone acting naturally, as if having a conversation over a dining table together as opposed to a meeting place.

Tsumugi: I hope I could hear the thoughts of the producing group and the one being produced!

Tamaki: First of all, Yama-san was really happy about it!

Yamato: Ough…

Iori: Or rather, he was very festive.

He had an eccentric mood when he sent a message earlier.

Yamato: I feel really embarrassed now.

Tsumugi: I’m happy to hear Yamato-san’s inside story! (laugh)

What did you feel when you learned that Iori-san and Tamaki-san will be your producers? Yamato: Well… as said earlier, I was happy!

Yamato: I’m sure everyone already knows this, but I’ve always wanted a comfortable place to live, and the people around me have provided that.

Yamato: But Ichi can see through what I’m thinking and knows I have a pathetic side.

I’ve looked forward to seeing how he’ll get through me.

Yamato: Tama is the same too. He suggests things no one has thought of. He can get to the bottom of things.

Yamato: So, they know how to bring out a side of me I’m not even aware of.

Tamaki: Fufun!!!!

Iori: Fufu.

Yamato: Can you two not eat chocolate while looking so proud (laugh)

It’s going to get stuck in your mouth (laugh)

Tsumugi: It’s kind of making me moved to tears…!

Tsumugi:  You’re still close to them despite having the largest age difference, how did you produce him and come up with the song?

Iori: To be honest, we had a dispute over it.

Tamaki: Yea.

Yamato: W-wait. I didn’t know that…

Iori: It wasn’t an argument, but more of a constructive discussion on how enchanting you should be with regards to this project.

So our direction in production is divided.

Tsumugi: I want to hear the details of your divided perspective!

Iori: Nikaidou-san is really good at making alluring expressions by impulse.

For the fans, it stirs up their imagination of his sharp gaze towards them.

Iori: At first I suggested a mature-ish ballad song because it fits best to express his characteristic carefree singing voice.

Tamaki: I suddenly thought that the song is going to be the one where his body movements shine with dancing!

Tamaki: I don’t know what allure is like but Yama-san is really good at making expressions, y’know

So if the focus is matching it with the song and then dance, I’m thinking if the fans would be happy

Yamato: No way, hearing those makes me feel more embarrassed though?!

Tamaki: That’s hilarious

Since we couldn’t decide, me and Iorin wrote in a notebook on what kind of a person Yama-san is during lunch break 👍

Iori: We went back to the drawing board, and listed the things of our image of Nikaidou-san

Iori: 1. He’s very approachable

2. He rarely reveals his true feelings

3. A shy person

Tamaki: Even though he’s trying to look good by treating us to ramen, he spoils us very much.

Yamato: Aaaaaaahhhh this dried squid is really goooood where did it come from?

Did Tama buy this for meeeeeeeee?

Iori: Well, in short, Nikaidou-san might call himself “onii-san”, but in reality he’s like this, right?

Yamato: Don’t say it like that!

Tamaki: Yeah

Even though I really like Yama-san to be like this, you keep that side of you hidden from the public, right?

So me and Iorin decided that the lyrics should be about being okay with being your natural attitude? more.

Iori: And we decided that the melody and the lyrics are like untying a thread one by one.

Iori: So this is like our message to Nikaidou-san.

Yamato: Ahh, I see. So it’s like that.

Yamato: To be honest, since I’m the oldest in IDOLiSH7, I thought that I’d do the first one Ichi said.

Yamato: Somehow, I was surprised at first that the lyrics felt like it’s a message

Yamato: I seeee

It’s a message for me

Tsumugi: It’s a new form of producing…

I’ve read the lyrics again, and it almost made me shed a tear…

Yamato: I know right

Tamaki: Yama-san’s looking away

Iori: You’re hiding something.

Yamato: Hey Tsumugi-san, please move on to the next topic…

Tsumugi: Yes…! ><

Tsumugi: For the artist picture, Yamato-san’s smile under the blue sky and the clear weather is striking!

How did the photography go?

Tamaki: The theme is “A Special in Ordinary Day” as Yama-san thinks of us in a meaningful way!

Me and Iorin were looking for a good location to do it when we go home from school and during day-off

Iori: Yes. We narrowed down our search on our usual path and found a studio that lets us film on the rooftop.

Yamato: Yeah, and it’s near our office

Yamato: I was surprised that there’s such an open space within the city

Even though it’s surrounded by buildings, we could see the vast sky above us. It really felt so special.

Yamato: Tama is the one who definitely suggested using a water gun, right? (lol)

Tamaki: You’re correct!

You guessed it right, Yama-san

Iori: If you relay the meaning of the title, “Transparent”, the water is portrayed in it as well.

And then using a water gun, is something only Yotsuba-san can suggest.

Tamaki: You can praise me more

Yamato: Good job Tama, you can give an idea no one else can!

Tamaki:

Iori: It was pretty difficult to angle the camera that it shows the water

Tamaki: Yeah I think I’m good with water gun for a while

Iori: Moreover, I believe that there’s a small chance to use it.

Yamato: Anyway, the artist picture is a result of the two doing their very best!

Tsumugi: Thank you for the lovely episode!

The outfit having a wavy silhouette is wonderful!

Yamato: Its simpleness is something I really like~.

Either way it could pass as a casual outfit

Iori: Nikaidou-san’s charm is going to stand out even if an almost plain outfit blends in daily life.

Tamaki: And his dance is smooth and the way he moves his flexible fingers is pretty so we requested the outfit to show it by having the sleeve flutter when he dances ✌

Yamato: You’ve been really thinking about me…

Tamaki: Your face is as red as a jerky. Hilarious

Yamato: Don’t compare me to a jerky (lol)

Iori: Yotsuba-san’s food scraps is being cleaned by Musashi right now

This looks convenient.

Tamaki: Recently when I borrowed it to clean my room one time, it stopped moving because it sucked some books

I apologized to it

Yamato: Musashi, you did something ridiculous…

Tsumugi: Thank you for the warm talk! (laugh)

Lastly, please give a word to your fans!

Iori: Well, I’ll start first.

Iori: Nikaidou-san does a great work in dramas and movies while supporting his fellow members, but he’s also truly timid, easy to feel lonely, and has an uncool side.

Iori: Considering that, we wanted to tell that he’s our cool leader, so this is how we produced him.

This is a song where it's not Nikaidou-san-like, but actually it’s very like him. Please listen to it a lot.

Tamaki: Yama-san has a lot of faces, in a good way!

But we really love all of it!

Tamaki: I hope everyone will love Yama-san singing this kind of song even more!

Yamato: Umm… I might not be able to finish this smoothly

Yamato: I’ve received words from Ichi and Tama where they still love me even at my lowest.

I feels really like a miracle that I get to meet such people who’d say that

Yamato: A long time ago, I was scared of being hurt so I made a wall and had a habit of giving up instantly.

I’m sure everyone experienced that before

Yamato: But, it’s fine. I’m sure there’s someone who’ll show up like the messages in this song.

For now it’s okay to think that guy is me

Yamato: Thank you for always supporting me.

Hopefully we meet again, you with those relaxed shoulders and natural smile.

Tamaki: You showed off on the last one

Iori: You really did.

Yamato: That’s fine!!

Let me be a sly charming onii-san!!

Tsumugi: Thank you for your time, everyone…!

I’m sure this conversation will receive a lot of response, I look forward to the day it’ll be open to the public!

Tamaki: Yama-san really loves us

Should we take a picture?

There’s nothing in this room

Iori: Good idea. Let’s put a lot of good memories in this room.

Yamato: Ohh, put anything you want here

Iori: Well then, let us put a picture of Nikaidou-san wearing an Usamimi Parka first.

Manager, please prepare the picture.

Tsumugi: Leave it to me!!! 💪

Yamato: Why!!!!

Momo's "An Idol's Daily Life" Rabbitchat Part 2

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Preference survey

Momo: Maneko-chan, is it okay if I drop by Takanashi Agency today?

Tsumugi: Thank you for your hard work! Of course it is, is this about the dumbbell matter?

Momo: Yep that's right! (*´∀`)b I ordered two sets online by accident and Mitsuki agreed to take one off my hands!

Tsumugi: Thank you for going to all that trouble! Mitsuki-san has a shoot and won't be here today, so I'd like to ask if it's okay for someone else to receive them in his stead.

Tsumugi: I'm sure you're busy, so please let me take them if you don't mind...!

Momo: It's just an excuse to be on the move, so don't worry about it! I also want to see Kinako-chan since it's been a while☆

Momo: They were a big nuisance even if I kept them in my room, so Mitsuki did me a big favor~!

Tsumugi: He was excited to give his all in his home workouts, after he receives the dumbbells!

Momo: Since Mitsuki is already really strong, he'll get an even bigger power-up!

Tsumugi: It appears he wants to build even more muscle than he has now!

Momo: I'll do my best too, in order not to lose(っ`・ω・´)っ)))

Momo: Welp, it's evening already, but I'll drop by later, okay!

Tsumugi: We'll be expecting you!

Tsumugi: I may be away for a while to attend a meeting, so in that case is it okay if Banri-san is the one to welcome you?

Momo: Ehh!?!?!?!?!? Ban-san will be there today!?

Tsumugi: Yes! I informed him that you'll be visiting this evening!

Option 1:

Tsumugi: He said he looks forward to seeing you!

Momo: Eeh!? Can you let him know I'm looking forward to it too!? We had really bad timing when we met during MEZZO"-kun's recording last week, so I didn't even get to greet him (｡>д<。)

Option 2:

Tsumugi: He said he really wants to talk to you, after all this time!

Momo: Wait a sec, I'm getting nervous all of a sudden!! I'm very happy I get to catch up with Ban-san too! I'll be there asap, okay!? -==Σ((つ°∀° )つ

Option 3:

Tsumugi: Is Yuki-san going to be coming as well?

Momo: Not really, Yuki has another shoot to do, so I'll be by myself! I really hope he can come with me next time there's a chance to meet Ban-san though.

Momo: Wah~~~~ I'm kinda excited now!

Momo: Maneko-chan, thanks for telling me beforehand. If I'd come over there without knowing, my heart might not have been prepared! ><

Momo: By the way, can I ask you something?

Tsumugi: What is it!

Momo: Do you like Lemon cheese tarts*?

Tsumugi: I love them!

Momo: (*^_°) b

Tsumugi: Um, why do you ask?

Momo: It's kinda like a survey of Maneko-chan's preferences! (*>∀・*)/

Momo: It seems that a popular Lemon cheese tart shop opened recently, so I was wondering if you knew about it!

Tsumugi: Are you perhaps talking about the shop that recently opened near the TV station!?

Momo: Yeah yeah, that one! The staff told me it's delicious and that there's also pistachios in it!

Momo: Have you tried it yet?

Tsumugi: Not yet, unfortunately... Banri-san and I went there during our break the other day, but it was sold out so I couldn't get it.. ><

Momo: Thought so, it's really popular after all (ノ_・。) I heard people were lining up for over two hours on opening day.

Tsumugi: That's right..! I heard it's relatively empty on weekday mornings, but I can't really go then...

Momo: Some good news for you, Maneko-chan! (oノ∇ `)ノ:* • ° ° • *

Momo: They'll be accepting reservations, starting next week!

Tsumugi: Is that so!?

Momo: Apparently, if you make a reservation online you can skip the line!

Tsumugi: Wow! I'll be sure to check it out! Momo-san you're really well-informed!

Momo: Eeh, you think so? I just happened to catch something about it in the wind that's all (・´3`・)

Momo: By the way, how many people are in the office todaay?~*

Tsumugi: Huh?

Tsumugi: Including myself and Banri-san, there should be 5 people...

Momo: Understood! (・∀・)ゞ

Momo: I'll go buy some souvenirs so look forward to it✩

Tsumugi: Could this be..!

Momo: Fufufu, you'll have to wait and see ･･･(¯ー+¯)

Tsumugi:

1)Also known as Hokkaido cheese tarts apparently, this is what they look like

2) In this bit, Momo uses -nya instead of -na, like he usually does, though it wasn't possible to integrate it in the sentence itself without making it sound cringey (the original isn't, by the way) so just imagine him saying it with his >:3 mischievous cat voice lol

[IDOLiSH7] [Part 6] Chapter 9: Important Announcement

6.9.1. - The big meetup

Nanase Riku: I’m so excited for today's BackMagic Special…!

Izumi Iori: Because IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, Re:vale-san and ŹOOḼ are all together, right.

Nanase Riku: Before we go to our greenroom, can we stop by TRIGGER’s room and greet them? I want to say hi to Tenn-nii!

Izumi Iori: Shouldn’t you be calling him “Tenn”?

Nanase Riku: Well, Tenn-nii is Tenn-nii!

Izumi Iori: Please don’t say that in public.

Nanase Riku: I know, I know!

--

Rokuya Nagi: I’ll introduce you two once more. This is Tsunashi Ryuunosuke.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Hello. I’m Tsunashi Ryuunosuke.

Natsume Minami: He…, hello. I am Natsume Minami from ŹOOḼ. 

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Your performances with Torao are always cool! You also write ŹOOḼ’s songs, right?

Natsume Minami: Uhh, yes…

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: That’s amazing. Are you close with Nagi-kun?

Natsume Minami: Saying we are close is….

Rokuya Nagi: OH…. Even though I’m the one who finally gave you the opportunity to support your oshi…

Natsume Minami: He is not my oshi!

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Hey, Nagi-kun, wait. 

Rokuya Nagi: What happened?

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I’m happy you came to say hello, but Natsume-kun has been avoiding eye contact this entire time. Did I do anything?

Rokuya Nagi: No, no! He’s just shy. He’s tsundere.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Tsundere…

Rokuya Nagi: Natsume-shi was Haruki’s friend. Your performance in “Zero” deeply moved him, Tsunashi-shi. He sees Haruki in you so it’s like he’s in a trance.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: So that’s how it is. I guess I can be happy about that then? Nagi-kun, how did you feel about it?

Rokuya Nagi: About what?

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: You watched “Zero”, right?

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I got some impressions via RabbitChat, but I want to hear your opinion again. Since we also didn’t get to talk much during the barbecue.

Rokuya Nagi: Obviously, Haruki is more charming. But when you sang “Phenomenon” you were even more charming than Haruki. 

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Really!? I’m so happy!!

Rokuya Nagi: OH! I have to help Natsume-shi with supporting his oshi. Alright, Natsume-shi. I’ll take a picture for you!

Natsume Minami: That’s not… I don’t need… a picture or anything… 

Rokuya Nagi: Tsunashi-shi! Stand next to him!

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Is here fine? Let’s do this!

Natsume Minami: Ah, yes… Well then, Rokuya-san. You can do it with my phone.

Rokuya Nagi: OK! 3, 2, 1…

(click) 

Rokuya Nagi: One more, let’s go~! 3, 2, 1…. OK! Please look at it.

Natsume Minami: Ah, there’s no problem with it. Thank you very much.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Additional performances of “Zero” have been confirmed, so please come watch again. 

--

(knock knock)

(door opening)

Nanase Riku: Good morning!

Izumi Iori: Good morning, Tsunashi-san. Rokuya-san and Natsume-san were here, too, huh.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Riku-kun, Iori-kun! Good morning. Were you looking for Tenn?

Nanase Riku: I wanted to say hi to TRIGGER! Tsunashi-san, it’s been a while! 

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: It has been! Riku-kun, haven’t you gotten a little tanned?

Nanase Riku: You, too, Tsunashi-san! I feel like you’ve also gotten more toned!

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: It’s because I’ve been training with Momo-san. Momo-san is more enthusiastic than ever!

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: He said he wants to create a legend of the invincible Re:vale!

Izumi Iori: Even though I’d rather have them be as relaxed as kings and lose focus a bit… 

Natsume Minami: Indeed, Re:vale are quite strong.

Nanase Riku: Since it’s been a while I’m happy that I can see everyone today! What about Te— Kujou-san and Yaotome-san?

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Maybe they went over to greet Re:vale?

--

Yuki: Yamato-kun, I went to the advance screening of “Mikazuki Ookami”.

Nikaidou Yamato: Ah, thanks.

Yaotome Gaku: I went there, too. And ended up running into Yuki-san.

Nikaidou Yamato: Ah, really.

Yaotome Gaku: We went drinking after that, and he kept praising you.

Nikaidou Yamato: I see… 

Izumi Mitsuki: Just be honest and show that you’re happy about it!

Yuki: I’m serious. It was to the point where I considered calling you, Yamato-kun.

Nikaidou Yamato: For real? I wish you’d called…

Yaotome Gaku: He thought it’d be bad if he called all of a sudden. Oh, right, I meant to send it to you afterwards, we recorded it.

Izumi Mitsuki: Recorded?

Yuki: Yes, yes. We thought we’d show you how passionate we felt after seeing the movie. Do you have the recording?

Yaotome Gaku: I do, I do. There it is.

Recording of Yaotome Gaku: Nikaidou is so good…!

Recording of Yuki: Yamato-kun is really amazing…!

Izumi Mitsuki: You were drunk.

Nikaidou Yamato: All I’m getting from this is that you were hyped up because you were drunk… 

Yaotome Gaku: I’ll send it to your phone later. We recorded around three hours of it. 

Nikaidou Yamato: That’s a lot of data…

Yuki: Shizuo-san’s voice is in there, too.

Nikaidou Yamato: He called!? Wait, did he actually come!?

Yuki: I mean, he has spare time right now. 

Yaotome Gaku: He was super impressed when we met him.

Izumi Mitsuki: What a gorgeous drinking party… 

Nikaidou Yamato: Right… But, well… Thanks. I’m relieved to hear your thoughts… 

Izumi Mitsuki: Nice, right, Yamato-san? Yamato-san was super nervous about the movie’s release.

Yaotome Gaku: Why though?

Yuki: There’s no need for that.

Izumi Mitsuki: See? I told you! 

Nikaidou Yamato: I suppose… Well, I did put in all the power I had. I did well…

Izumi Mitsuki: Right, right.

Nikaidou Yamato: …I did well! 

Yaotome Gaku: That’s the right energy! Wanna hear the recording once more? 

Recording of Yaotome Gaku: Nikaidou is so good…!

Recording of Yuki: Yamato-kun is really amazing…!

Recording of Chiba Shizuo: Yamato has come so far…!

Nikaidou Yamato: Don’t put it like that…! 

Izumi Mitsuki: You should make this your alarm. It’ll boost your self-esteem.

(door opening)

Momo: Hey, Yuki~! Ah, welcome, everyone!

Inumaru Touma: Good morning. Comin’ in.

Izumi Mitsuki: Momo-san! You were with Inumaru?

Momo: Yup, yup! I just met him in the hallway earlier! 

Momo: We talked about how much we practice! ŹOOḼ is training really hard!

Yuki: Heh, how admirable. 

Inumaru Touma: Thanks.

Momo: I told you, this isn’t the time to call this “admirable”! Let’s take more lessons, too!

Yuki: Eh~  If I’m going to spend time with Momo, I want to eat yummy food and be lazy. 

Nikaidou Yamato: You’re taking that many lessons? You seem busy, but still find the time for that, eh.

Inumaru Touma: I think we take as many as you guys? A bit less than what Re:vale said we do…? I think.

Momo: See, Yuki! We’re too arrogant!! Pride comes before a fall, you know! 

Yuki: I get it, I get it. We’ll take time to train properly and do our best.

Momo: Yup! We’ll beat TRIGGER, IDOLiSH7 and ŹOOḼ without holding back!

Yuki: Right.

Izumi Mitsuki: Our senpai are scary… 

Yaotome Gaku: TRIGGER won’t lose, either. 

Nikaidou Yamato: We’re gonna get there this year, too. We’ll overcome you. 

Izumi Mitsuki: Well said, leader!

Inumaru Touma: We won’t let you! As if we’re gonna lose against IDOLiSH7 twice.

Yuki: Right. I’ll make you cry, Yamato-kun.

Nikaidou Yamato: I won’t cry! I respect Re:vale-san and am thankful to you, but… 

Nikaidou Yamato: We’ll prove that we can reach even you.

6.9.2. - Fun in the Greenroom*

Midou Torao: Well? Did you see it?

Ousaka Sougo: I did. It is really amazing that you managed to act out this action scene yourself.

Midou Torao: Ha… Well, yeah.

Ousaka Sougo: Thank you for letting me see it five times.

Midou Torao: Wanna see it once more?

Ousaka Sougo: Ah, of course…

--

Isumi Haruka:  Hey, Yotsuba. Has anything happened with Acchan recently?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Uh, why?

Isumi Haruka:  It’s ‘cause she’s been asking weird stuff on rabicha… If you dunno, it’s fine.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Weird stuff? What do you mean by “weird stuff”?

Isumi Haruka:  No, it’s fine.

Yotsuba Tamaki: No, tell me. Did Aya tell you anything?

Isumi Haruka:  … She said ”I wonder if I’m not cute enough”.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Huh… So what’d you answer, Isumin?

Isumi Haruka: What I answered?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Just so you know: I’m probably gonna get angry no matter if you told her she’s cute or not.

Isumi Haruka:  You’re such an overprotective older brother! I just responded with “You’re pretty cute, though, right?” normally… That’s just a normal response, right!?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Huh…

Isumi Haruka: Something must’ve happened, right? Look, I don’t know, but maybe it’s time for her debut soon, or something.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Aya’s debut… Now that you mention it, someone also asked me for advice about Aya.

Isumi Haruka: Who?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenten. But that’s it, huh. Aya’s debut…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I think I get why Tenten tells Rikkun such strict things now…

Yotsuba Tamaki: Being an idol is fun, but also hard. And there’s things that will hurt you…

Yotsuba Tamaki: I wonder if Aya can manage it.

Isumi Haruka:  Won’t she do better than you, Yotsuba? Acchan is pretty serious, you know.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Eeeeh—!?

(knock knock)

(door opens)

Kujou Tenn: Good morning. Ah, there he is.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ah, Tenten! Were you looking for me maybe?

Kujou Tenn: Well, not just you, I was looking for MEZZO’’. Seems like the mood here is good. That’s relieving.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Thanks for worrying about me, Tenten.

Ousaka Sougo: Good morning, Kujou-san. Did you do anything that made him thank you?

Kujou Tenn: I didn’t. I listened to “Kizuna”. It was really good.

Ousaka Sougo: T…Thank you very much!

Kujou Tenn: Midou Torao. You did the last action scene yourself, right?

Midou Torao: Y-Yeah. Well, yeah.

Kujou Tenn: You have a lot of courage. It was impressive.

Midou Torao: …Thanks…

Kujou Tenn: Well, I’ll be going. I’m looking forward to working with you today. 

Yotsuba Tamaki: Wait, Tenten! Thank you for the other day. What about the thing with Aya?

Kujou Tenn: We can’t talk about that here.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Is Aya debuting?

Kujou Tenn: Who said something like that?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Isumin did…

Isumi Haruka: I didn’t! I just asked if she was gonna debut! Isn’t it about time she does?

Yotsuba Tamaki: This job isn’t easy. You know that, right, Tenten?

Kujou Tenn: Well, that’s true.

Isumi Haruka:  Since it’s Acchan, she’s gonna be fine. You two should believe in her. You’re her big brothers, right?

Yotsuba Tamaki: That’s two different things! Right, Tenten!?

Kujou Tenn: No, I… I’m trying to put a distance between myself and my younger brother and sister, as siblings, so…  

Ousaka Sougo: Tamaki-kun, did anything happen to Aya-chan?

Yotsuba Tamaki: It seems like something happened, but he said we can’t talk about it here.

Kujou Tenn: I’ll go to you guys’ dorm soon.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Are you sure about it? Rikkun’s there, too… Didn’t you just say you wanna keep a distance from him?

Kujou Tenn: ….

Isumi Haruka: What’s the problem, just do it! Stop overthinking it so much. 

Kujou Tenn: Ah, right…

Ousaka Sougo: Up until recently, Riku-kun was calling you “Tenn”, but now it’s Kujou-san being distant?

Ousaka Sougo: That’s twins for you. Your nature and behavior are so similar, it’s very amusing.

Kujou Tenn: ….

Yotsuba Tamaki: Sou-chan, that’s unexpected of you…

Ousaka Sougo: Eh…? Was it rude to call it amusing!? I’m very sorry…!

Kujou Tenn: No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it.

(door opens)

Nanase Riku: I’m back… Ah, Tenn-nii…!

Kujou Tenn: Riku…

Izumi Iori: Good morning, Kujou-sa—…

Nanase Riku: Waah~! Tenn-nii you were here! I wanted to see you, so I was looking for you!

Nanase Riku: It’s been a while since we got to work together! I was excited to one day be on BackMagic together with you all this time!

Kujou Tenn: ….

Kujou Tenn: …Would it be normal to say “Me, too” right now? What do you think, Izumi Iori?

Izumi Iori: You’re asking me that while not even bothering with a greeting? I think it’s normal, though.

Kujou Tenn: I see.

Kujou Tenn: Me, too, Riku.

Nanase Riku: Yay~! Looking forward to today!

--

Anesagi Kaoru: Good work today, Takanashi-san.

Takanashi Tsumugi: Good work!

Okazaki Rinto: Finally, it’s getting announced today.

Utsugi Shirou: The “New Black or White project”... How do you think everyone will react?

Anesagi Kaoru: They’re competitive kids, of course! Their idol soul is definitely going to be burning and get them all fired up!

Okazaki Rinto: Thinking about finally being able to talk about it in the open makes me excited!

Utsugi Shirou: I won’t lose to you.

Takanashi Tsumugi: That’s my line! The winner of the first “New Black or White” is…

Takanashi Tsumugi: IDOLiSH7!

Anesagi Kaoru: TRIGGER!

Okazaki Rinto: Re:vale!

Utsugi Shirou: I’m very sorry, but it’ll be ŹOOḼ.

--

Yotsuba Tamaki: …Huh? Sounds like the managers are arguing…

Izumi Iori: They’re rivals, but I’d still like them to try keeping the exchange between agencies in this business friendly in the end.

Isumi Haruka:  Embarrassing adults.

6.9.3. - Special Day

Mr. Shimooka: This week’s “Backyard MAGIC” will be brought to you as a special 3-hour live broadcast!

Izumi Mitsuki: We have some great guests lined up in the studio as well! Everyone, please enjoy “Backyard MAGIC”!

Audience: Kyaaaah…!

Momo: Let’s have a good time!

Kujou Tenn: Let’s get along well.

Nanase Riku: Let’s have some fun!

Isumi Haruka: Let’s do this today.

Mr. Shimooka: This special live broadcast will be a grand male idol special!

Mr. Shimooka: With new information about Re:vale’s new movie “Chill Out”!

Mr. Shimooka: Special advance information about TRIGGER’s new program “Treasure Café”!

Mr. Shimooka: Current videos of IDOLiSH7’s recently aired summer vacation project, “Beach paradise! Uproar during water athletics!”!

Mr. Shimooka: From the drama “BLAST” starring ŹOOḼ in the main roles, we’ll be introducing you to it and showing you some highlights!

Mr. Shimooka: And finally! There is big news that no one here knows about so far!

Audience: Kyaaah….

Izumi Mitsuki: News that we don’t even know about!?

Yuki: Is today the last episode?

Momo: Yuki! This is a program with high ratings!

Yaotome Gaku: Are we gonna suddenly be taken somewhere…?

Ousaka Sougo: Right, it was on a different show, but there was a gag like that before.

Nanase Riku: I wonder what it is!? “Big news”!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Maybe they’ll give us something! Like a watermelon or grapes!

Mr. Shimooka: Fufufu… Please look forward to it until the end!

Izumi Mitsuki: And now: based on the Tale of the Soga Brothers, the near-future SF “Chill Out”! Can you point out some highlights for us?

Izumi Mitsuki: First, Yuki-san!

Yuki: Momo’s role is a really strong person. There’s a scene where he pulls out a radio tower from the ground and that’s really cool, but also cute.

Audience: Kyaaaah…

Izumi Mitsuki: Pulling out a radio tower?! That’s kind of hard to imagine… Momo-san, which scenes do you recommend?

Momo: Maybe the big fight at the end? I think the people who know the Tale of the Soga Brothers will probably get what I mean.

Momo: From a spy-like scene, it becomes a flashy action scene with a big fight before turning into a serious tearjerker scene…

Izumi Mitsuki: There’s lots of highlights, aren’t there?

Momo: Well, Yuki’s acting is just that good!! It even made it into my dreams, I was turning in my sleep.

Audience: Kyaaaaah…

Yuki: Really?

Momo: Of course~! I woke up crying out “Brother!!”. Please watch that part carefully!

--

Passerby A: I’m super excited for “Chill Out”!

Passerby B: I’ll look into the Tale of the Soga Brothers! The theme song is great, too, so I’m really happy!

Passerby C: The costumes in the film are the coolest! I wonder if they’re gonna dance in those, too!

--

Mr. Shimooka: Here’s the early footage from TRIGGER’s new program, “Treasure Café”! Ah, is that Gaku-kun?

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah.

Mr. Shimooka: The waiter uniform suits you!

Yaotome Gaku: Haha, thanks.

Kujou Tenn: This kind of thing really suits Gaku, right.

Audience: Kyaaah…

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: It does suit him. Ever since we’ve been living together, the three of us have been cooking together a lot, too.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I was talking with Tenn about how, aside from his stage outfits, Gaku also looks good in an apron.

Audience: Kyaaah…

Yaotome Gaku: You said something like that, huh? That makes me happy.

Kujou Tenn: You’re happy?

Yaotome Gaku: Looking good in a suit or a kimono is one thing, but a guy who looks good in an apron is cool, too, right?

Mr. Shimooka: You’re really happy to be praised by your members, aren’t you?

Yaotome Gaku: Well, yeah.

Mr. Shimooka: Let’s look at the recorded footage then, let’s go! …Ah, you’re wiping down the counter quickly, that’s some fine skill~!

Mr. Shimooka: Have you worked in customer service before?

Yaotome Gaku: Yes. My relatives have a So— I worked in a restaurant before.

Mr. Shimooka: I see! That makes sense. Then you’re already comfortable with that kind of work.

Yaotome Gaku: Yes, thank you.

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Ah, a girl who came into the store started screaming.

Mr. Shimooka: Of course she’s screaming, she just entered a café and Yaotome Gaku was working there as a waiter!

Kujou Tenn: Gaku, what did you say when that happened?

Yaotome Gaku: “Welcome.”

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: That’s the right thing to say as a greeting!

--

Passerby D: Gaku-san is cool…! Cool yet cute…. I want him to be my boyfriend….

Passerby E: No, no, that’s impossible! We’re talking about TRIGGER here!

Passerby D: If it had been the Gaku-san from before, I’d also think it was impossible! But isn’t it kind of cute when he’s a little more careless and relaxed like this!?

Passerby F: I get that… I want him to be my boyfriend… Or at least, I want him to work at my workplace.

Passerby E: If TRIGGER were my colleagues, I’d also be super motivated at work!

Passerby F: Right~! I’d get promoted!!

--

Mr. Shimooka: I just went ahead and showed the footage from “Beach paradise! Uproar during water athletics!”. Everyone seems to be having so much fun!

Nanase Riku: We were having loads of fun! The sun wasn’t too strong, either, so Nagi was fine until the end.

Rokuya Nagi: It was the best! I’ve decided what my dream is, too!

Mr. Shimooka: Ohh, what is it?

Rokuya Nagi: Getting a house with a water athletics course in the yard!

Audience: Kyaaaah…

Izumi Mitsuki: If you say that, that means you might actually get it, aren’t you…?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ah, this part! You gotta look at this! Me and Sou-chan had a real race!

Mr. Shimooka: It’s true! You’re surprisingly competitive! Ah, Tamaki-kun slipped when climbing the athletic course…!

Ousaka Sougo: I was able to pull ahead of him quite a lot there.

Izumi Iori: He looks so unconcerned while running. Ousaka-san doesn’t hold back during times like these, huh.

Mr. Shimooka: Wait, wait! In the back, the one relaxing on the bench and eating parfait, isn’t that Yamato-kun?

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’s true!

Ousaka Sougo: Yamato-san!?

Nikaidou Yamato: No, no. It’s not parfait, it’s cream soda.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Even though we were running around…!

Izumi Mitsuki: Well, it’s already good enough that the old man isn’t drinking beer.

Nikaidou Yamato: Exactly, exactly. Praise me, praise me.

Nanase Riku: Amazing! The world’s most yummy-looking cream soda!

Izumi Iori: That’s what you’re praising?

Nikaidou Yamato: …and its drinker Yamato-san.

Nanase Riku: Its drinker Yamato-san!

Nikaidou Yamato: Thank you! You get it, Riku~!

Izumi Iori: Isn’t that manipulation too obvious?

--

Passerby G: IDOLiSH7 is cute….! Just looking at them makes me energized!

Passerby H: This variety show was really fun, so I am glad to see the backstage parts of it! BackMagic gets it…!

Passerby G: Sougo-san was wearing a rashguard this time, too, huh?

Passerby H: Sougo-san looks good like that! Everyone’s swimsuits have been great~!

--

Izumi Mitsuki: “BLAST” ended at a crazy point! I wanna watch the movie already!

Inumaru Touma: Thank you very much.

Izumi Mitsuki: I always thought the guy Natsume plays, Nagato Kyouya, was suspicious! But I still didn’t expect that!

Natsume Minami: I’m happy you enjoyed it.

Izumi Mitsuki: The movie will deal with Shuu trying to get Shou back after he was kidnapped by the lab agent Nagato, right?

Izumi Mitsuki: He even joins forces with Hyoudou, who he always had a cat and dog type relationship with in the drama.

Inumaru Touma: Yeah, kind of like that! I know this isn’t a full review session, but how about we take a look at the next highlights?　

Izumi Mitsuki: Sure. I really like Sakaki Shuu.

Inumaru Touma: For real!? I’m glad!

Izumi Mitsuki: You’re really cool in the role of the lone wolf, Inumaru! Even though in reality, you’re such a sincere person. Speaking of which, Yamato-san says he liked Hyoudou.

Midou Torao: Oh, really. Thanks a lot.

Izumi Mitsuki: Isumi has been made into a test subject at the lab. Isn’t that kinda super bad!?

Isumi Haruka: It is, right. Even though he had just opened his heart to Shuu, Shou got betrayed by Kyouya. I feel sorry for him.

Izumi Mitsuki: I want you to be saved~! Please. Don’t lose against Natsume!

Inumaru Touma: Even in private, I can’t really go up against Mina…

Audience: Kyaaah…

Natsume Minami: Fufufu.

--

Passerby I: ŹOOḼ is so cool…! I’ve been into them ever since “BLAST”, so I’m happy to see Touma-kun’s smile!

Passerby J: All of them did great with their roles! Torao-kun even did an action scene by himself!

Passerby I: I wanna see the movie already~! I wanna see more of Minami-kun’s evil face!

Passerby J: I’m really curious about what happens to Haruka-kun’s role, too…! Ah, I’m excited…!

--

Mr. Shimooka: The time to say goodbye is getting closer, but everyone, you remember it, right!?

Audience: Kyaaaah…!

Momo: Big news! Big news!

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Does Mitsuki-kun know?

Izumi Mitsuki: I haven’t heard anything either!

Yotsuba Tamaki: What kind of surprise is it!?

Mr. Shimooka: Time for an important announcement!!

~ to be continued ~

6.9.4. - New Black or White

Mr. Shimooka: Time for an important announcement!!

Mr. Shimooka: “Black or White Music Fantasia”, the yearly national music program, will be facing a big renewal!

Nanase Riku: Black or White will…

Kujou Tenn: Get a big renewal…?

Mr. Shimooka: Right now, the embargo on the information has been lifted, and at the same time, there are announcements on various TV programs, online streams and on social media!

Mr. Shimooka: It’s called “Black or White Live Showdown”!

Mr. Shimooka: Black or White has a long history with the music world in Japan!

Mr. Shimooka: To keep up with the current era, and to create an all-connecting experience, Black or White will experience a big renewal this time!! 

Mr. Shimooka: Breaking out of the confines of being a pure singing competition, “Black or White Live Showdown” will not only be about singing, but also dancing, costumes as well as adapting to the venue…

Mr. Shimooka: Several points have been added to the judging criteria in order to make it a mini live showdown!

Audience: Kyaaaaah…!

Momo: Mini live showdown!?

Inumaru Touma: Does that mean we can sing more than one song!?

Mr. Shimooka: The contestants will compete with a setlist of four songs!

Mr. Shimooka: The structure of the live, costumes, dancing and singing ability. Live performance, fanservice, the artistic quality of the set as well as stage directions!

Mr. Shimooka: Live goods and even uniforms, all of these are ways to strengthen the completeness and feeling of unity in the venue and will be part of the judging criteria!

Mr. Shimooka: How do you make the audience experience entertainment? Can you create the best live?

Mr. Shimooka: During the special time of welcoming the new year, how can the artists and the audience become one? Can you create a festival that can only be found there?

Mr. Shimooka: A Black or White that has left the living room! That’s what “Black or White Live Showdown” is!

Audience: Kyaaaah…!

--

Passerby K: Wait, wait! What does that mean!?

Passerby L: I’m not sure, but I think it means we’ll definitely get to hear a lot of songs!?

Passerby M: Ah, look, look! Even this female idol group’s show announced the same thing!

Passerby K: They’re gonna do Black or White in different locations across the country!? They’ll connect those via live broadcast, right?

Passerby L: I wonder which venue IDOLiSH7 will perform in!?

--

Mr. Shimooka: The final showdown of the male idol groups will be in Zero Arena…!!

Mr. Shimooka: Talking about the male idol group finale, the last overall winner was Re:vale! And the winner of the male idol category was IDOLiSH7!

Mr. Shimooka: Those two groups’ entry is already confirmed!

Izumi Iori: Our entry was confirmed…

Yuki: I see.

--

Okazaki Rinto: Looking forward to it, Takanashi-san!

Takanashi Tsumugi: I’m looking forward to it, too!

--

Mr. Shimooka: The remaining two entries will be determined through “JIMA” and “MOP” and so on, so it will depend on how successful you are in the music scene!

Mr. Shimooka: Will TRIGGER and ŹOOḼ, who are here right now, stand on the stage for  “Black or White Live Showdown”?

Mr. Shimooka: Nobody knows what the future will bring!

--

Anesagi Kaoru: All of Japan is talking about “Zero”. If TRIGGER’s name doesn’t show up, I’ll never trust this industry again. 

Utsugi Shirou: We’ll do our best, but ŹOOḼ landed a hit with “BLAST”, so there’s no way they would be excluded from the contest.

Okazaki Rinto:  I think you’re right, but you should probably still be careful.

Anesagi Kaoru: I know!

Utsugi Shirou: I know.

Takanashi Tsumugi: I hope we’ll be able to compete together with everyone!

--

Mr. Shimooka: Everyone who is watching the program right now! Yes, you who is listening to my voice right now!

Mr. Shimooka: If you’re watching BackMagic, you must be a pretty big idol fan!

Mr. Shimooka: Please leave your New Year’s Eve plans open!

Audience: Kyaaah…!!

Mr. Shimooka: If you can, please get a ticket and go to the live venue!

Audience: Kyaaah…!!

Mr. Shimooka: It will be the greatest live, made up of four songs carefully picked by the artists to express their style!

Mr. Shimooka: We promise you the best experience! This is a live versus live contest!

Audience: Kyaaah…!!

Mr. Shimooka: At the end of the year, let’s get fired up and enjoy the time together!

Audience: Kyaaaaah…!!

(clapping)

--

Nanase Riku: A new Black or White… Such an amazing project has started! He said it’s a live showdown!

Yotsuba Tamaki: I’m super excited! Which four songs are we performing!?

Izumi Mitsuki: There’s gotta be a new song in it, of course!

Rokuya Nagi: OH! Sougo, how about taking on the challenge of composing IDOLiSH7’s new song?

Ousaka Sougo: Me…?

Nikaidou Yamato: Yeah! If your schedule isn’t too packed, why not consider it?

Nikaidou Yamato: If we, as IDOLiSH7, are going into this contest, we want to sing one of Sou’s songs, too.

Ousaka Sougo: Yamato-san…

Izumi Iori: I agree. What do you think, Ousaka-san?

Ousaka Sougo: I… I’d like to take the challenge. I don’t know if I’ll do well, though…

Ousaka Sougo: I did think I wanted to have everyone sing my songs one day, not just MEZZO’’, but…

Nanase Riku: Please let us sing it! An IDOLiSH7 song made by you, Sougo-san!

Izumi Mitsuki: That’s great! Let’s win against Re:vale with a 100% pure IDOLiSH7 song! 

Ousaka Sougo: …Against Re:vale-san…

Nikaidou Yamato: I think TRIGGER and ŹOOḼ will enter, too, though.

Izumi Iori: Especially if TRIGGER enters the Black or White, too. They said Re:vale is within their reach. 

Rokuya Nagi:  ŹOOḼ is a very strong opponent, too. Their teamwork has steadily been getting better and they gained a lot of momentum.

Yotsuba Tamaki: It’ll be fine!  Do your best, Sou-chan! I’ll do the choreography again, too!

Nanase Riku: I’m really looking forward to it…! I can’t believe we’re gonna compete with a live we all made with our own hands…!

Nanase Riku: We also have a manager who’s great at stage directions! Standing at the top is no longer a dream, is it!?

Takanashi Tsumugi: Yes, let’s work together to deliver it to the audience!

Takanashi Tsumugi: IDOLiSH7’s greatest live!

IDOLiSH7: Yeah!!

--

Woman: Ehehe… I couldn’t wait to go home to read the magazine, so I went to a café.

Woman: The “Auberge La Plage” special! That’s what I bought it for! The last episode was so good~.

Woman: The highlight of “Auberge La Plage” is how all the funny staff members turn out to be secret celebrities one by one…

Woman: Right, right. But because of that, a rival hotel tries to gain them for their business.

Woman: That’s when Tachibana Yuzuru, played by Riku-kun, together with Narumi Sei, the character played by Iori-kun, work together to figure something out. It was fun…

Woman: Aah, I’m sad it’s over… I wanna see more of IDOLiSH7. Their swimming contest was so cute, too!

Woman: I ended up remembering IDOLiSH7’s members’ full names, blood types and birthdays so quickly…

Woman: I’m not actually a fan yet, though. I didn’t join the fan club and I’ve never been to a live…

Woman: A live, huh…

Woman: I can listen to the songs on my smartphone and the dance performances are viewable on TV, so there’s not really a reason to go to a live~.

Woman: Places with lots of people are hard to deal with, and I’d feel sad if I was left behind because I couldn’t really get in the mood…

Woman: It would be a waste if I tried too hard and did something unnecessary and stopped having fun, even though I’m having fun right now.

Woman: I’ll stay like this, enjoying it casually.

Woman: …Ah, “IDOLiSH7” is trending on rabbitter. 

Woman: What…? “New Black or White”? The music program at the end of every year, that Black or White?

Woman: The male idols will compete in a mini live showdown…

Woman: Eeh, what’s that? That sounds really interesting…!

Woman: Let’s look for more information on rabbitter…

Woman: “There was an announcement in BackMagic”, “I wanna go for sure!”, “Support your oshi in person and make them win!”...

Woman: Support… That makes sense, it is a live showdown after all. I can support them…

Woman: I want IDOLiSH7 to win… I want to see IDOLiSH7 before my eyes and support them…

Woman: ….

Woman: How do I get a ticket? I wonder if I can get one without joining the fanclub?

Woman: No, that’s impossible, right? It’s definitely gonna be super expensive like that, right… Eeh~, now I really wanna go…

Woman: Eh~, can I buy it? Ah, just thinking about going makes my heart pound…

Woman: If I could go, it’d be amazing for sure…. It would be amazing for me.

Woman:  Because, y’know… I love just watching them, but having something so far away…

Woman: …To be close for just a moment, it’ll be as it becomes real… Something like that makes my heart pound so much, I might die.

Woman: …..

Woman: ….I’ll just apply, I’ll just try applying. If it doesn’t work, it’s fine.

Woman: Ah, I’m lying! I really wanna get it!

hello!! mod riku here!! we are super alive, actually, but life is [gestures]. once more, thank you for all the positive feedback! also, happy new year, i suppose.

TL note courtesy of Haruka-kun!

* a note on the title of this section: the original is 楽(しい部)屋 which is a pun on the fact that both the word fun (楽しい) and greenroom (楽屋) share a kanji. i’m not smart or patient enough to think about a good pun equivalent in english, so you get the title and this note

I don't talk about this a lot but it always annoys me that some people interpreted this sentence as "Banri absolutely hated being an idol and would have jumped at any opportunity to quit".

(more after image)

No, he didn't hate it. He just likes something else more. If I say "I like cats more than hamsters", it doesn't mean I hate hamsters!

He liked being an idol, it just wasn't his number 1 favorite thing to do.

Also, we know from some Rabbitchats that he sings with Sogo in the car and sometimes joins MEZZO’’ for their dancing lessons. Even now, he still likes singing and dancing!

Some people need to remember that he left Re:vale to protect Yuki, not because he actually wanted to.

Haruka Isumi Idol Star Live 2023

Touma: Yo, Haru! 

Touma: How’s school going? 

Haruka:

Haruka:

Touma:

Haruka: You’re already so intense and it’s only noon 

Touma: And you’re using such low energy stamps even though it’s already noon! 

Touma: Is there something in class you didn’t understand? If so, make sure to ask your teacher! 

Haruka: Stop acting like my guardian! 😒 I’m doing fine in school!! 

Haruka: So, what’s up?  

Haruka: Didn’t you rabbitchat for something? 

Touma: Well, I just finished my Idol Stage lessons so now I’m eating lunch 

Touma: But you had school today, so I was just wondering how you were doing! 😄

Haruka: I see 

Haruka: So you were just bored? 

Touma: I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bored lol 

Touma: It’s about lunch time now, right? So I just wondered if you were also bored by yourself! 

Haruka: Uh

Haruka: How did you know I was by myself?

Touma: I remembered the other day while looking at the schedule, you whispered “Izumi and Yotsuba won’t be there on the next day of school” 

Touma: I thought you might feel lonely without the two of them, so if you’d like you can rabbitchat with me 😆

Haruka: I’m not lonely!!! Don’t treat me like a kid!! 

Haruka: And you don’t have to remember each and every little thing I say!!! 

Touma: My bad 😅 Then, what if you made friends other than Izumi and Yotsuba? 

Haruka: I don’t need to

Haruka: I don’t need someone to hang out with 

Haruka: Besides, if I suddenly talk to them, they’d just get nervous

I’d also be wary if it was the other way around 😒

Touma: You’re really cautious 🤔

Touma: When a costar you’re not well-acquainted with talks to you, you become meek as a lamb(1) and hide behind Mina’s back! 

Haruka: I’m keeping an appropriate distance! 

Haruka: Actually, aren’t you too close with others!? 

Touma: Me?! I’m normal! 

Haruka: Not normal at all! 

Haruka: You already call them a friend after costaring for just a bit! I’m pretty sure your sense of distance is totally messed up

Haruka: They might seem happy but you don’t know what they’re saying behind your back, and not everyone is a good person.

You should have a bit more awareness 

Touma: Hmm, well yeah. 

Touma: Maybe you’re right and I should be more self-aware.. 

Haruka: Yeah 

Haruka: I was expecting you to say “if you chat some more, you’ll realize they’re a good person!” so I was kind of disappointed 

Haruka: Wait, did something already happen? Like something you can’t tell us? Are you alright?

Haruka: Have you told Utsugi-san? 

Touma: Ahhh!!! Sorry Haru!!!! That’s not what I meant!! 

Haruka: Then what? 

Touma: Yesterday, while walking around the station, I saw a guy who I definitely thought was Riku even though he was wearing a hat! I was like, “Long time, no see!” and wrapped my arms around his shoulder from behind 

Touma: But then 

Touma: It was Kujo!!!!!!!

Touma: He smiled at me and said “long time no see”!!!!! I apologized profusely!!!! 

Touma:

Haruka: Hey

Haruka: I was so disappointed I dropped my smartphone and got weird looks from my classmates!! 💥

Touma: No, I was scared too!! 

Touma: I should be more aware of my distance and not wrap my arms around shoulders so easily 😭😭 

Haruka: That’s not exactly what I was getting at, but if it makes you more aware then whatever….

Touma: Thanks for worrying about me, Haru! I was kind of touched ✨

Haruka: Worried for nothing 😤

Haruka: But, thanks for rabbitchatting 

Haruka: Because of that, I wasn’t bored during lunch 

Haruka:

Touma: Haruuuu!! 

Touma: You gonna be alright on your own after school? Should I pick you up? 

Haruka: Absoluuuuutely not!!!!!

Haruka:

Touma:

[End of Rabbitchat}

TL Notes:

1. "Meek as a lamb" - The phrase used here is literally “borrowed cat” and is a Japanese idiom for someone who becomes quieter than usual, so I just used an English equivalent
