Today, while I can still remain here - Nishizono Renga Birthday SSR Card Story Translation

Happy Birthday, Renga!

(Translation notes at the end)

Renga: (Today’s the birthday of “Nishizono Renga”.)

Renga: (I heard from my manager that there's a leading role lined up that only I can play.)

Renga: Alright, my looks are on point.Time to go.

Yukikaze: Renga. 

Yukikaze: Target secured.

Renga: Hah!?

Renga: …

Muneuji: Hachinoya-san. Excuse me, can you raise the rightmost decoration by 2 millimeters? It’s sloping ever so slightly.

Nagi: Got it. Still, it’s really pretty, this ornament.

Muneuji: According to Lu-senpai, it’s customary for celebrations in China. Certainly, the golden glow creates a festive atmosphere.

Renga: ………..

Kafka: Chief-chan, is that the last dish? The drinks have already been brought over.

Chief: Yup. All that’s left is the cake! Yuki-nii is doing a final inspection on it.

Shuumai: Woof. Woof, woof.

Renga: What’s going on?”

Renga: Chief and Yukikaze brought me to the living room all of sudden, sat me down on the sofa with Shuumai, and now a party’s starting!?

Ten: Renga-san, looking good~ That “Today’s protag” sash suits you.

Renga: Hey, Ten! Don’t tell me… No, there’s no doubt…!

Ten: That’s right~. Everyone’s been working hard all night to celebrate your birthday, Renga-san.

Ten: Your manager did us a favor and freed up your schedule for today. Man, everyone’s going at it.

Renga: My manager was in on it…! I had no idea at all…

Renga: (Just when I thought I wouldn’t be able to celebrate today because of work…! So this is what my manager meant with the “leading role only I can play!”)

Renga: That means… all this food and decorations are for me?

Toi: Need to align them by height a bit better… there. Acrylic stands and Uchiwa fans go over here…

Renga: …Hm? What is Toi doing?

Kafka: Making a shrine. It's a custom among fans who want to do something extravagant for their favorite celebrity's birthday, and Toi can relate all too well.

Kafka: Hand-making goods and amassing official ones... He’s been arranging merch and fan letters that arrived at your office since morning.

Renga: Since morning!? Then I should he…!

Liguang: Hold it.

Renga: Uwah! What’s wrong with you, Liguang, pushing me onto the sofa all of sudden!

Linguang: Stop messing around and sit down like a guest of honor should. It pisses me off to look at you.

Renga: You, you didn’t have to put it that way!

Shuumai: Woof!

Renga: …Are you saying I should sit down too, Shuumai?

Shuumai: Woofwoof!

Renga: …! I, I see. Got it.

Renga: (Since I’m playing a role no one else can do, I should act the part… everyone's be happier that way, right?)

Renga: …

Toi: Whew… Is this the last one?

Toi: Ah? There’s still one box left! I need to open it quickly!

Renga: That’s it, I can’t do it anymore!

Renga: Toi! Let me give you a hand!

Liguang: Tsk.

Ten: My, my.

Yukikaze: Sorry to keep you waiting. Please, give it up for the “Golden Sunrise Celeb Rose Cake”.

Kafka: We’re all finished here, what about you?

Toi:  All done! Thanks to Renga-san, we’ve completed the shrine!

Chief: Then, let’s get the party started!

Chief: Renga-kun.

HAMA Tours: Happy Birthday!

Renga: Tha…thank you.

Ten: Here, for you. It’s a dog toy.  Go nuts and play with Shuumai until it breaks. 

Nagi: I chose shears for pruning roses. Feel free to ask for gardening advice anytime. 

Yukikaze: My present is a travel bag. It has a large capacity and many pockets, so it can fit  plenty of snacks, tissues and the like. I hope it comes in handy for both studio and location shooting.

Renga: (All of these presents have so much feeling behind them. I can tell how much they thought of me when choosing these.) 

Yukikaze: …Is someone at the door?

Toi: Ah… I’ll get it!

Toi: Uwah!?

Muneuji: There was a huge noise.

Renga: What happened, Toi?

Toi: We’ve a p…problem! The gift box got stuck in the door!

Courier: A parcel for Nishizono-sama. Please sign here. 

Kafka: With this volume, it can hardly be called a present, can it? It’s more like a shipment of goods for a sales event.

Nagi: The door is creaking. Better use the front entrance.

Yukikaze: It’s from Renga’s father. The note says “To Renga, and the HAMA Tours employees who always look after my son.”

Yukikaze: What a kind parent.

Chief: Amazing, Renga-kun! You received such a huge present!

Renga: Well, I guess? Once you get on my level, that's normal…

Toi: I wonder if I can carry it somehow…

Renga: Hey, Toi! Don’t try to carry it alone!

Ten: Is it okay for today’s protag to be such a busy bee?

Liguang: Tsk, he doesn’t realize he’s just causing extra headaches on the organizers’ side.

(the Live 2D animations (wordlessly) show that Renga tries to help Toi, starts shaking, probably because he can't handle the weight, but Yukikaze and Nagi catch and stabilize him)

Chief: Ahaha… Isn’t that just like him, though?

Part 2

Renga: Nom, nom… The cake Ushio made is really tasty….

Renga: I feel like I’ve heard enough “congratulations” today to last me a lifetime.

Renga: The birthday party was fun, too.

(flashback)

Nanaki: Then, it’s a promise. On our next day off?

Renga: Ah, yeah. Thanks for the invite, Nanaki. Can’t wait for the live soccer match.

Nanaki: I’m glad you’re on board. I have two replica uniforms, so let's wear them when we go.

Nanaki: Sunglasses will be a must for you, though… It’d be something else if people realized you’re at the venue, Nishizono-san. 

Shuumai: Woofwoof, woof!

Renga: What’s up, Shuumai, you want to go, too?

Renga: Too bad, you can’t enter the stadium. Cheer up, I’ll toss you the ball I got from Ten…

Yachiyo: R-R-R-Renga-san! Renga-sa-!

Yachiyo: Uwa-!?

*sound of things falling over*

Nanaki: He fell head first into a cardboard box…

Renga: Yachiyo, you alright?

Yachiyo: S-sorry! I tried, but I couldn’t pull the brakes fast enough!

Renga: Why’re you in such a hurry?

Yachiyo: W-w-well, there was a letter for Renga-san left at the door, so I wanted to deliver it…

Renga: A postcard? Wonder who sent it…

Renga: (Happy Birthday to the both of us)

Renga: …!

Renga: I see. Thanks for bringing it to me.

(flashback ends)

Renga: It was a good day.

Renga: Who’s it?

Kinari: Nishizono-sama, excuse me for bothering you during your rest.

Kinari: I have been designated as your gift-giver as a part of the Random Gift System.

Renga: I-it’s time!

Renga: Much appreciated. Well, come in.

Kinari: Understood. Then, if you would accept this item.

Renga: A rose shaped… earring?

Kinari: After receiving the order, I discovered it while searching for a gift that would be suitable for Nishizono-sama.

Kinari: The initial search returned 27506 results. Subsequently, the list was narrowed down to 18549 options.

Kinari: I’ve heard from the Master that Nishizono-sama is partial to roses, which is why I’ve chosen this accessory.

Renga: You also put lots of thought into it. I really appreciate that.

Kinari: Happy Birthday, Nishizono-sama. May you be loved by many people from now on, as well.

Renga: I-idiot! That much is a given!

Renga: After all… After all, I’m Nishizono Renga!

Renga: (Up until now, I’ve always tried to act in a way that’d befit [Nishizono Renga])

Renga: But today is a little different than usual. I feel like they’re also celebrating [me]).

Renga: I’m glad I could stay here.

Staff: Time for a commercial!

MC: Renga-kun, wasn’t it your birthday the other day? Congrats.

Renga: Yeah, thanks.

MC: I’ve been wondering, are these earrings something you brought from home? They look great on you!

Renga: Right? It’s because they were chosen by an important friend… as a gift that suits me best! 

You can read my translations of the Mayors and Yachiyo's voice lines for Renga's birthday here!

Translation notes:

The card story title: ここにいらえる今日を, is cut off: it's missing a verb that should go after を, so the information what is exactly done with/about this day (ここにいらえる is modifying, or describing what kind of "today" it is, instead). This is possibly to make it more ambiguous in meaning and slightly foreboding. You could put fill the blank in different ways, but since there's no clear indication and the difference in sentence structure would place the missing verb at the beginning, I decided to leave it out altogether to avoid further confusion.

Some possible ways to complete the title would be, for example: to celebrate, to cherish, to remember; or it could also be a toast, if you added 祝して、乾杯 at the end, as in "Cheers to today"

Renga's manager: As far as I know their gender isn't known, so I tried to avoid personal pronouns.

Renga shrine: Japanese fans are known for their extravagance while practicing this custom, such as renting a whole studio room and lining up hundreds of items, so I took some liberties with Kafka's first line to emphasize that - he only mentions fans who "want to celebrate" and that doesn't really relay the scale of what seems to have been going on, what with Toi having multiple boxes of stuff prepared.

[littlesliceofimmortality]

got some goodies from a new manufacturing company ive been wanting to try - melodycharms! :-] VERY happy with how they look

longer review & closeups under cut

OKAY so. ive been an avid vograce customer and supporter for the past few years, always recommending it to friends when asked, & have made consistent sales when working with them to make stuff for my shop

the only reason why i wanted to try another company was that their minimum order number is 3 for most products - which is a bit inconvenient when you just wanna get something for yourself

& melodycharms has the option to get only one! i got:

a double sided holographic keychain

a series connection keychain

a rainbow acrylic keychain, &

a "gold edge" keychain

it had a quick turnaround of only about a month, which is impressive considering it shipped from china to america

FIRST IMPRESSIONS : the box was securely packaged & easy to open! the thank you note is super cute ALBIET a bit too large, crinkling the edges. came with a melody sticker as well!

each keychain had a film, was then wrapped in a bag individually, and then they were all put in ANOTHER crinkly bag. lots of trash (fun to open, not as fun for the environment)

DOUBLE SIDED HOLOGRAPHIC KEYCHAIN

i got the broken glass variety only on the front (callums) side, which gives a SUPER cool effect when looking at it from the back. only negative effect is that the colors on the front are a bit duller in comparison, since the acrylic is thicker

SERIES CONNECTION KEYCHAIN

i dont know if i accidentally ordered two or they accidentally gave me two, BUT excellent surprise nonetheless! they look how i imagined, no complaints :-)

RAINBOW ACRYLIC KEYCHAIN

oooh yeah baby. SUPER happy with how this came out. i left the tv screen transparent on the image it sent, and it translated PERFECTLY to the semi transparent background. photos dont do it enough justice 10/10

GOLD EDGE KEYCHAIN

aah this one was less exciting to receive.. on the website, it looks like a raised, metallic edge on the keychain. in real life, its more like a flat outline. it reflects light like the rest of the keychain - but doesnt have the metallic golden look, instead just seeming yellow

additionally, it came without the accessory keychain so i cant hang it on my bag yet :-( i reached out to melody via their live chat, & got a reply within the 24 hours saying theyd send a replacement though

OVERALL : id rate melodycharms a 3.5/5! they get knocked for a mistake, no company is except from a whoopsie daisy - they were very kind and apologetic when i responded which matters more & i appreciate alot

AA resources

(Artist Alley, not Alcoholics Anonymous.) Since a lot of internet AA things are locked away behind Discord, I'm making a compilation of resources, in the spirit of oldschool information sharing. Note: I'm mainly done stickers and charms. I have very little experience with enamel/acrylic pins so far, however I expect to update this when that experience is acquired, probably around Jan-Feb 2025.

Good overall information about Artist Alley-ing! Covers everything from production to sales. Google keeps hiding this, so I might as well try and make it a bit more visible.

Manufacturers (Mainly Euro-friendly)

Pretty Good Stickers Based in Sweden. This place has a low minimum order for stickers, and the price drops the more you buy. Except instead having to order 100+ stickers, you can just order 2, 10, 25, etc. This is _gold_ when you do small sticker runs for old niche stuff, like I do. Heads up that they'll take more time if you order different materials, but they've always delivered within the timeframe promised when I've ordered.

Vograce Based in China, with all that that entails. Takes a long-ish time to deliver charms, and you'll get hit with customs. Discounts start around 6+ items, and different designs can be combined to get a bigger discount. Also a hit-and-miss with production managers. Best to find one that works for you, and keep requesting her. Very economical for charms (Minimum order is around 3), less so for stickers (Minimum order is 50 of one size + material, although you can do 5 different designs), but expect to wait for a long time + B- grades happen. Pawprint Designs Based in Spain. Good quality. Delivers faster than Vograce, no customs charge (If you're in the EU). Very good for charms, especially if you have a bigger quantity. Ships reliably fast, great for getting to conventions on time. Their charms have a relief quality to them, which makes them feel more luxurious and worth the extra cost. The styles and colours of clasps are more limited than Vograce, and unlike Vograce, they're not free. They are optional though, so you can save a lot by just buying the clasps you want from wherever you want, and assembling them at home. Also, they sometimes send you the resulting B-grades for no extra cost, so you can put them together at home using a bag of clasps, and sell for cheaper at conventions.

First post on this blog of my many blogs let's gaur!

Also some links may be affiliate links with aliexpress and some links may not be.

In the case for this post there is no affiliate link and also the affiliate link idk how to turn off or how I even signed up for on aliexpress. I just thought it may help alleviate some of my audhd impulse purchases if I just drop some products under that link from the aliexpress app.

It really doesn't do anything for me and I'm a complete nobody so I am not trying to scalp anybody.

In fact I'm actually doing the opposite of gatekeeping and just gate opening since this is my way to get unofficial merch on a budget. So I can still retail therapy in a chronic, unhealthy way when life gets too overwhelming and stressful and also still represent my faves since I'm too broke for official merch and too broke for fanmade merch at times too although I would love to support everyone.

I know aliexpress may be a little like "oof idk about that place" type of app but I mean it can't be any worse than what locals are chronically buying on. And also you can choose not to buy these things or on this app. I just like that there's a search option and how I shop on aliexpress is way different than getting trapped in the shein romwe fast fashion trap because you can curate your algorithm just like how you can on social media that fits your taste and style. Also its straight from the manufacturer in China in Alibaba. I can't tell you how many times I've found a shirt for $10 that I saw for $35 in Target or Walmart and I was shook but happy I didn't impulsively buy the more expensive one. Even if its "not official" the quality of merch and stuff that you can get here doesn't really differ from stores like TJMaxx and Marshall's and Ross and Walmart and Target etc. Also of course it'll differ from high fashion but that's like rich people budget vs everyone else's budget and I think it'll be fun to share this here.

ANYWAYS LOOK AT THESE CUTE ADORABLE ENHYPEN KEYCHAINS! bro I have a bunch like these and THEY DO NOT DISAPPOINT!

This is currently in print now but I have noticed that certain kpop group and kpop merch does go out of print at times and they sometimes come back and sometimes don't.

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!

$1.49 | Korean EN- Boy Group Keychain Acrylic Figure Photo Printed Human Shaped Keychain Bag Pendant Jewelry Fans Collection Gift

The prices do vary depending on which keychain you pick and shown in the screen recording! Thanks for reading and I'm excited to be sharing more of these things with y'all!

so scarlet (it was maroon) ✧ sokeefe

✧ ship: Sophie x Keefe

✧ what to expect: it all went down went a book went soaring across the classroom but sophie never expects it to end the way it does. acrylic smeared on cheeks, pigment-stained clothes, and a whole keefe sencen later, maybe she never despised him as much as she thought she did.

✧ genre: romance, fluff, humor, sarcasm - enemies to lovers trope, human au, and a love triangle to torment you guys 😈

✧ word count: 899

✧ warnings: mild swearing

✧ link to masterlist

✧ link to chapter one

✧ link to chapter three

✧ A/N: hey guys!! check out chapter one if you haven’t already and i hope you like chapter two as well!

***

CHAPTER TWO

Sophie looked around the messy area, carefully dodging what looked like a week old sandwich on a china plate. Keefe’s room was incredibly messy—she shouldn’t have expected more—and it took all she had to prevent herself from sprinting out the room as fast as she could.

“Yeah,” Keefe replied. At Sophie’s grimace, he amended, “Well, not exactly.” Dropping his bag on his cluttered bed, he made his way to a wooden bookcase and began ramming into it with his shoulder.

“What are you doing?” Sophie asked as Keefe grunted, violently shoving himself against the bookcase. Slowly, surely, the it began to budge, revealing—

“A door?”

“Yep.” Keefe swung it open and gestured for her to enter. “Welcome to my secret lair.”

Sophie tentatively walked in, ducking under the small doorway. The first thing that hit her was the strong scent of old books, stacked up against a wall. An easel stood at the center of the room, showcasing an unfinished landscape; vibrant with lilacs, pinks, and little white sunflowers, it brightened up the place like a lightbulb. She was forced to admit; Keefe was a good artist. In a dark corner, a shelf held a variety of art supplies from acrylics to brushes to oil pastels. The dim light flickered every now and then, plunging Sophie into darkness and pulling her out again in a matter of seconds. And needless to say, Keefe’s little art area was also messy.

“You do your art in here? You can barely see in this place!” Sophie kicked a stray paintbrush from her path as she nearly tripped on it.

“Hey, don’t kick that! I’ve been looking for that one for a while now.” Keefe bent to pick it up and twirled it around in his fingers. “And the light switch is right next to you, you lunatic.”

“Just because I can’t see your face right now, I’m going to refrain from slapping it.” Sophie waved her hand in the air beside her until her fingers brushed against the switch. She flicked it on and immediately, a series of fairy lights illuminated the room like fireflies. Finally, she could see everything—the beanbags to her left; a desk to her right; and a gallery of breathtaking paintings hanging on the wall in front of her, ranging from cityscapes to portraits, all signed in fancy lettering: Sencen K.

“Yeah, I’m pretty talented, right?” Keefe stepped up and stood next to her, nudging her arm.

“Don’t let it get to your head,” Sophie retorted. “Let’s just get this over with.”

“Well, we’re learning to paint human features with watercolors in class, so we’ll start there.” Keefe beckoned her over to the fresh easel he set up, a brush in hand. “What do you wanna paint?”

Sophie shrugged.

“Oh, c’mon! There has to be something. How about this—close your eyes and think of someone you know, someone you love. What’s the first thing you notice about them?”

Her boyfriend’s handsome face appeared in her mind immediately, and she couldn’t resist smiling. Fitz Vacker’s face was all sharp lines and pretty features, and when he smiled? God, Sophie had to fight to keep herself from swooning. And don’t even get her started on his eyes, those teal-green eyes that had her hypnotized every time she looked into them…

“Foster? You there?”

Sophie startled, eyes flying open at the use of her last name. “Uh, their eyes.”

“Okay then, that’s where you start. Now grab a brush and follow my steps. First paint the outline very lightly…”

𖤓𖤓𖤓𖤓𖤓

At the end of their session, Sophie and Keefe stepped back to admire their work.

Actually, that’s what Keefe did as he looked at his thin black strokes, his lashes curved in the right way, the brown dots he speckled on the pupil. All Sophie could do was cringe at the abnormally-shaped eye she’d drawn.

“Is it supposed to look like that?” She asked.

“Look like what?” Keefe glanced over at her painting, eyebrows raising so high they seemed to hover above his head. “Oh. Uh, no. But now I get why Ms. Clarette wanted me to tutor you. Your eye looks like a deformed cucumber.” At Sophie’s seething glare, he innocently said, “No offense, of course.”

“You meant all the offense, and we both know it.”

“Damn, am I that transparent?” Sophie frowned in dismay as Keefe added, “Art takes time and practice, Foster. You’re not going to magically become da Vinci in one class.”

“I think this session says more about you as a teacher than me as an artist, don’t you think?”

“Honestly, you’re kind of a lost cause, Foster.” Keefe sent a pointed look at her watercolor eye, the corners of his lips turning up in a soft smile that silently seemed to make fun of her. Bright crimson patches bloomed on Sophie’s cheeks.

“I guess I’ll go now,” she said after a long, awkward pause. “See you tomorrow.”

“Awh, running back to me already? Am I that irresistible?”

“If anything, you’re the opposite.”

“Whatever you say, Foster.” He laughed through his nose and waved goodbye. Sophie picked up her bag and walked to the doorway, but she stopped halfway, turning with narrowed eyes.

“And since when were we on a last name basis, Sencen?”

“You tell me, Foster.”

“You’re not gonna stop, are you?”

“Now that I know you don’t like it? Never.”

A couple peeves that could very much be overthinking or my own particular brand of stupid in action

I see a lot of crocheted blankets (usually cheap acrylic) ending up at Goodwill and no one wants them. They’ll languish until they get purged and thrown in the trash.

Someone either is bored and needs something to do with their hands but has no use for all those blankets, or thinks they’re Doing Good by donating them to a place that will charge people for them.

Either way, they end up in the dumpster.

Local food bank won’t take them, not even to put outside on their “here, homeless people, this bread’s about to expire” table for folks to walk up and take. They say they don’t have room for non-food items.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much.

-

Another thing I’ve been seeing a lot of lately in instagram is people coming together to clean up beaches or rivers that are overloaded with plastic trash. This is not a peeve, this is a good thing.

I remember when we were at the beach a few summers ago and I was sitting there looking at the machine-combed sand and noticed how much of it was actually tiny little bits of plastic.

The plastic trash goes into plastic bags and then what? Sent to the local dump who has no room and no want for them then they’re shipped off to China or wherever which also has no room and doesn’t want them and dumps them back into the water to end up in another river on the way back to the ocean and land on another beach somewhere to repeat the cycle?

It’s futile until there’s actually some place to put it all, but no one wants it and no one will take it.
