Translation: Wonderlands x Showtime Main Story Ch. 8 [Form! Show Unit!]

Translation under the cut!

Tsukasa’s Room

Tsukasa: ...And here, I appear like ‘boom’. Yes! That’s some good development.

Saki: Big brother, are you writing a new play?

Tsukasa: Ah. I’m going to do a show soon. I’ve taken it upon myself to write the script for it.

Saki: I didn’t know that! When is it? I want to go watch it ♪

Tsukasa: We plan to do it during the afternoon of the first day of the long weekend.

Saki: Ah! It’s my shift for my part-time job that day~ What a shame...

Tsukasa: Ah, I remember you started working part-time at a cafe. I also heard you joined a club... are you feeling alright?

Saki: Yep! I’m totally fine!

Saki: ...But I should try not to get too excited. I can’t make everyone worry again...

Tsukasa: Saki...

Tsukasa: “I am Prince Pegasus!”

Saki: Wha... big brother!?

Tsukasa: “My travels to defeat the Demon King have just begun! I’m sure I will face challenges. But beyond them lies... hope!”

Tsukasa: “Because I believe in it, I can press on fearlessly!”

Saki: ...! Fufu. Thanks, big brother.

Saki: Big brother always showed me a lot of shows, ever since we were young.

Saki: Ah, before, you always used my stuffed animals as characters. Remember? Like that bunny stuffed animal.

Tsukasa: Bunny stuffed animal? I guess there was one...?

Saki: We used it so much that it was in pretty bad shape by the end, but it was so much fun.

Saki: Big brother, good luck with this show! When I see my big brother working hard, it gives me energy!

Tsukasa: Ah! You can be sure to expect a lot from me!

The Next Day

Wonder Stage

Tsukasa: Everyone! I finished the script! For our show, we’ll be doing this.

Rui: Tsukasa-kun wrote it?

Tsukasa: Ah, that’s right. It’s a work worthy of having me, a star, perform it!

Nenerobo: “Hm. So we’ll learn what level your brain is at once we read the script?”

Tsukasa: Tch... you robot that keeps on picking on me...! I won’t explain it to you if the script is too high-level for you to understand!

Nenerobo: “If you explain it to me, I think I’d get even more confused.”

Emu: Those two get along so well~ ♪

Rui: Mhm. Their conversation is on the same level.

Tsukasa: That’s right! I have something else important to announce.

Emu: Something important? What is it, what is it?

Tsukasa: It’s our troupe name! If we’re doing shows, we need a troupe name, don’t we?

Rui: You’re right. And what’s the name?

Tsukasa: The name is... “Theater Troupe Pegasus ☆ In the Sky”!!

Nenerobo: “...Lame.”

Tsukasa: L... lame!?

Tsukasa: What’s lame about that name? What other name sparkles with such naming sense!

Rui: Why is it lame... huh. It’s hard to analyze. But if I were to say it in one word—

Nenerobo: “It’s just lame.”

Rui: That.

Tsukasa: About something that someone worked hard to think of!! Then do you have an idea!?

Rui: Let’s see... Emu-kun, what name do you want?

Emu: Mm~. The sunny sunny power of the sun’s world ♪ or the crunchy flower poof* of the flower field’s world☆?

Nenerobo: “...An educational TV show?”

Tsukasa: Anyways, why “world”?

Emu: The Wonder Stage becomes different worlds depending on the show!

Emu: Like the jungle world, or the world above the clouds, or the world of primitive humans, or the world where aliens exist!

Emu: It’s a wonderland that can turn into any world! That’s why everyone smiles when it’s time for the show ☆

Rui: Hm... Then isn’t that a good idea?

Tsukasa: Mm?

Rui: You want people to spend a wonderful time in the wonderland this stage creates, yes? How about thinking of a name that has those feelings packed into it?

Emu: Mm... in the wonderland... wonderful time...

Nenerobo: “Time... Like showtime, maybe? If you stick them together, it’s Wonderland Showtime... I think.”

Emu: Wah! That’s cool! I’m gonna write it on the script’s cover ♪

Tsukasa: Ah, wait! Theater Troupe Pegasus ☆ In the Sky is obviously...

Emu: Done! “Wonderlands x Showtime!”

Tsukasa: ...What’s this “X”? Also, why is it “Wonderlands”? It should be “Wonderland”!**

Emu: The “X” is to multiply ♪ Because the more shows we do, the more wonderlands we create!

Emu: And it’s “Wonderlands” because... it sounds cool!

Tsukasa: L-look here...

Nenerobo: “Hm. Well, it’s actually not that bad.”

Rui: Yes. I don’t mind it either. It’s important to go with what your intuition tells you.

Tsukasa: Urgh... Hah... I’ll allow it. What’s important is the plot of the show.

Tsukasa: Our name’s decided now - let’s do our best!

Emu: Yep! Let’s do this! Ooh ☆

Notes:

*I genuinely have no idea what ‘hanapon’ (what I tled as flower poof) is. I decided to combine ‘hana’ and ‘pon’, but it’s probably not correct dksflsd I did some searching for hanapon and nothing came up except for 鼻ぽん, which seem to be absorbent things you shove up your nose when you have a nosebleed, runny nose, etc. And I don’t see Emu really saying that? If anybody knows what this is about, please tell me.. 

**The original japanese text is Tsukasa asking why Emu wrote it as ショウ rather than ショー. They make roughly the same sound (shou vs shoー), but the second one is what you would write ‘show’ as. This was changed to make sense translated.

Honestly the idea of WoL!Shou x Aymeric is hilarious because she’d be lounging on a House Fortemps couch in a pile of blankets and coats, picking a scab off her nose and secretly eating it, smoking a cigarette with her fuzzy earflap-hat on, with Aymeric in the doorframe just pining for her like, “Truly, there is no more beautiful creation ‘pon this star”

Then Shou catches a bit of pointy elf-ear in her peripheral and shouts, “AYO, BUTLER-GUY, WE GOT ANY MORE’A THOSE LIL’ MEATYBALLS WITH THE CHEESE- oh, hey Lord-Commander, you seen that butler around, they got these meatball things here with some goat-cheese in ‘em- don’t ask me where the meat’s from but... Oh! Shit, sorry, are people dyin’ or something?”

“Such words, beautiful and ephemeral, yet forthright and unbreaking, without regard to class or station, but to protect others...”

“Uh, Aymes, buddy, you aiight... ?”

Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu - Start of the Giant

Their press run-through brought some very familiar faces backstage! Nakamura Tarou (Inuoka), Kajihara Hayate (Fukunaga), Arai Shou (Aone), and Matsuda Hiro (Ikejiri) all came to see the press preview!  

To see Hayate and Tarou, Shouri and Takato were very happy and commented that Nekoma is more than just two people.  To see Tarou and Shou, Kenta felt like some of his old rivalries had returned!  Hiro-pon always loves seeing the show, he’s always so impressed and was very happy to see everyone.

Hiroto Voicy 2020/07/05

“Everything about Shou is perfect!”

Disclaimer [I’m translating for fun and self-learning purposes. If you listen to the Voicy and happen to find some mistakes, please feel free to correct me☀]

Note:  our guitarist seems to be very excited he was talking for 20++ mins :p 

As you have known, they held the live tonight in Shibuya Public Hall (07/05) for Shou's bday and the first tour (but it is actually supposed to be the final phase of the tour). He was so excited because finally he met everyone for a love since 15th February (Valentine live?). Today's live was held in a special environment where everyone put on mask and face shield, there also should be enough space between seats. There was also temperature measurement, disinfection, thermography, and thorough ventilation installation. Since it was special, Hiroto said he couldn't see the audience face that much, but the feeling he got from the live did not change at all. Being able to stand on stage facing the audience was wonderful and moving for him.

Hiroto was also proud of the fans who obediently cooperated, following the rules. None of the audience tonight who didn't wear mask and face shield, it made him proud even though he understood it might be painful for them. He was worried and anxious today (aren't we all? :'D). He also mentioned about the voices of the fans who couldn't manage to attend their live. The voices was edited and mixed by PA team to put on the stage's speaker. It made him feel like even from far away, their feelings became one on stage as if they're having concert together. Of course, there are pros and cons of doing a live in this kind of situation, but he wants everyone to know how proud he is to everyone involved in this live tonight. It's entertainment industry after all, someone has to start taking initiative sooner or later so they can do lives on daily basis again, especially for musicians and bandmen. It's been months for him to be stuck at home, many of his fellow musicians also experienced this (having their lives' postponed or canceled) Therefore, Alice Nine attempted to start a 'revolutionary move'.

Hiroto stated that being in entertainment industry means it's their job to take the audience into amazing and exciting world. He feels like he could only do it by doing live on stage and he believes this will lead to the better tomorrow, in a good way. He conveyed his gratitude towards people who decided to come tonight, even though it was a tough and rather scary decision. He also thanked the fans who weren't able to come but still sent prayers and supports for them. He could feel it. Hiroto assured the fans to wait patiently until the world really return into a safe place, the band and the fans surely will be able to reunite again. When the world is safe again, they will hold live together again and he asked us to join in their escape to the wonderful world.

Hiroto was still overwhelmed by the live they had and didn't know how to end that topic for a while But he managed to end it, moved to the next topic about Shou's birthday. 

Caution: YOU'LL GET DIABETES FROM SHOUPON RELATIONSHIP AFTER THIS. BRACE YOURSELF!

Hiroto met Shou for the first time approximately 16 years ago (or so he said lol probably more than it). He was invited by his senior who was looking for new band members and he was still a teenager at that time. He was determined to form a long-term band before he's turning 25. His senior really liked him and Shou, it seemed that this senior had worked with Tora in the previous band. Hiroto knew Tora's band from the magazine and thought that the band was better than his. When he looked at the photos in the magazine, he thought "The vocalist is so cool!"

The vocalist wasn't Shou, though. At that time, the senior invited so many people from different bands and Hiroto thought maybe there were one or two vocalists that he could recruit. Shou caught his attention, then he asked Shou to exchange e-mail address right away. To sum up, that was how Alice Nine was formed. It was weird but Hiroto always felt that Shou is "the one" and compared to other members, he spent time with Shou the most. Therefore, he felt a stronger bond with Shou. AREN'T THEY CUTE?!!!! THEY'RE SO FREAKING CUTE SINCE DAY ONE!!!

Hiroto and Shou shared a lot of things in common, including interest. Hiroto looked up at Shou as an "oshare" (stylish) person with good sense of fashion while his parents own a beauty salon. At that time, they both still lived with their parents. Hiroto stated that he approached Shou first with messed up e-mails They would visit each other's houses respectively, went to the cheapest cafe after band practice over only to buy coffee and bread bcs they didn't have money and had a looong conversation.

They used to go to the museums, art exhibition, clothing stores together and Shou would recommend good clothing brands to him. Hiroto lived in the area that took about an hour and a half to the downtown while Shou lived in the downtown. Basically Hiroto came to Shou's place. Hiroto often stayed at Shou's place after a live show, especially when it was already too late or when Hiroto missed the last train home. Night by night, they had long conversation. Hiroto was sleepy but he was too excited so he couldn't sleep so they kept talking. Shou would invite him for a walk then, they would sneak out to buy things. Shou would lend him his almamater (母校) probably he referred to Shou's jacket alma mater. They would find a place to watch the night sky, talk about future, dreams, bands, etc until dawn. They got panicked when it was almost the time for sunrise, so they headed back home to sleep bcs Hiroto had a part-time job It was so nostalgic for him since he used to exchange inspiration with Shou through emails, including when making songs.

To Hiroto, Shou is a person he'll always look up to. Hiroto really respects and loves him. Hiroto loves everything about Shou: looks, voice, personality~ Shou is the best! Even in such difficult time, Hiroto has been standing beside Shou (both on stage and in real life term). Hiroto apologized for talking 10 mins straight without realizing The person he talked about might not listen, but really, he likes Shou's singing voice best in this whole universe! Everything about Shou is perfect! 

That's a wrap from 7/5 live edition! Aren't ShouPon adorable?! They've been so close since day one and Hiroto's latching to Shou like a lost puppy.
