ALKALOID at the Ensemble Stars!! Cast Live - Starry Symphony 3rd - the midnight sun- live event (June 2024)

In his YouTube livestream, Masatomo Nakazawa talked about his slipping at the time of Kiss of Life song performance. He hurt his butt, but quickly got up to catch up with his members. He even did the cartwheeling from one hand to assure everyone and the audience that he was 'okay' for the time being. Fans were surprised of his stunt.

But, actually, he was angry, upset with himself that he broke the formation of the group dance and the mood.

You can see him here, that he was controlling his frustrated look. Before this ES event took place, he was already suffering from dry sore cough and waist strain. So he was overall, not satisfied with himself for the final days of June.

【4gamer】 Ensemble Stars!! In the 16th episode of 「CAFE CINNAMON Niki's Kitchen」, Crazy:B head to “Honey Workshop” (Post-recording Interview Portion ONLY)

translation by: phantombanquet

Post-recording Interview

Youhei Azakami as Rinne Amagi

Tomohiro Yamaguchi as Niki Shiina

Jun Kasama as HiMERU

Tasuku Kaito as Kohaku Oukawa

4gamer: Thank you for your hard work during the long day location shooting today!

Everyone: Thank you for your hard work!

4gamer: It's almost time for the location bus to leave, so I'll try not to make this interview too long.

Tomohiro Yamaguchi (hereafter referred to as Yamaguchi): We don't necessarily have to finish it!? (Laughs)

4gamer: Thank you! Then, could you give us a few words about today's event?

Yamaguchi: Well, I'm tired (Laughs). But the reason I say “tired” is because the four of us (from Crazy:B) have tons of fun when we're all together, and we've also been talking sooo much since this morning. We're all close friends, so we enjoyed talking to each other during the shooting. I feel that the script was even less relevant than before, or rather, it was because I was able to shoot on a location with the people I trust, so it was a lot of fun, and made me feel pleasantly exhausted.

Youhei Azakami (hereafter referred to as Azakami): When all four of us gather together, I just get spoiled by everyone, and I really love these members who accept that (part of me). Also, today's shooting location made me think: “Bees are really cute”. And to think that every single one of these bees is making honey like that, it made me realize how precious they are. Today was a day that made me love bees, honey, and Crazy:B even more. Thank you so much!

4gamer: By the way, Azakami-san, what is the name of the dish you made today.....?

Azakami: We~ll..... Earth. Cycle. And...

Yamaguchi: Wasn't “Earth” the last? The first is “Life”.

Azakami: Life. Cycle. Earth......Brilliance.

Jun Kasama (hereafter referred to as Kasama): I have a feeling that's not it.....?

Yamaguchi: Anything is fine! (Laughs)

4gamer: I understand. Then, Kasama-san, please give us your comments as well.

Kasama: Alright. So, the last would be Tasuku Kaito-kun.

Azakami/Yamaguchi: Summarize it properly, okay?

Tasuku Kaito (hereafter referred to as Kaito): Yeahhhh.... (Laughs)

Kasama: As Tomo-kun (Tomohiro Yamaguchi) mentioned earlier, I was happy that us four Crazy:B members could have fun yet still make interesting entertainment, without having to say “I have to say this,” or “I have to do this,” for something. I felt that there was an atmosphere that could only be created by these four members, and I really felt that I could rely on them.

I also went to see the beehive again, but without protective clothing this time, after the recording was over. I'm sure everyone else has noticed, but bees have a similar lifestyle to humans; they work hard around noon, but when the evening hits, I feel like they all go: “Thank you for your hard work today...”

4gamer: So it's something like that!

Kasama: In this way, I felt that we humans, who are also living beings, should be thankful for the graces we receive that are like in the form of honey. It was a location that gave me new feelings towards bees and honey, and also made me feel the fun of Crazy:B, which uses them (bees and honey) as their motif.

Yamaguchi: That was a good comment.....

Azakami: And then?

Kasama: And then...?

Kaito: I'm under a lot of pressure for the next comment (Laughs). (Being asked by the members: “So, how was it?”, “What did you think about today?”) Why am I being pestered so much today!

Everyone: (Laughs)

Kaito: But, all I can say is: “It was really fun”. It was a location shooting that made me feel once again the dependability and reassuring nature of the other three, and also the greatness in each and one of us. It's not often for all four of us to gather together like this, but I think it was a valuable day for us to be able to experience various things with bees, which are the motif is this unit, at a bee farm. Seeing the bees made me feel even closer to life.

Unlike when coming alone, I was able to enjoy the experience together with these older brothers, and I think I also was able to find new discoveries. I hope to engrave this experience in my mind, and have fun while making this unit even more exciting.

Yamaguchi: I'm the only one who didn't talk about “life”.....

Azakami: Are you saying you don't care about it that much?

Yamaguchi: I'm just living on the edge! (Laughs)

4gamer: This year, there will be a cast live performance (「Ensemble Stars!! Cast Live Starry Symphony -the first light-」 to be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, and Sunday, October 1, 2023), so maybe there will be more opportunities for you four to get together again.

Kasama: Certainly.

Azakami: This was a very good early opportunity for the future!

Yamaguchi: Teamwork, and also bonding with the bees... (Laughs)

Azakami: Just being together (with you guys) for one day already makes me super duper tired.

Kasama: You (are the boke)!

Azakami: You're tired of being the tsukkomi, aren't you? (translator's note at the end)

Kasama: No, of course, I mean it in a good way? (Laughs)

Yamaguchi: But the good thing about Crazy:B is that when you say something silly, someone will make a comeback. Rather than sharing roles with everyone, it's more “Crazy:B-style” that we all enjoy ourselves on the spot, but it also makes me feel tired.... (Laughs) But that makes it twice as fun!

4gamer: By the way, is this the first time that the four of you have been together for such a long time?

Kaito: No, maybe not?

Azakami: If there's a performance (live concert, event, etc.), we're all together the whole day.

Yamaguchi: That's why it really doesn't feel like “it's been a long time” since whenever we meet, we immediately feel at ease with each other, we chat, and afterwards, we go home, and then we see each other again..... It goes something like that. I think that we, Crazy:B, have the kind of feeling like friends who feel at home/comfortable whenever we see each other.

4gamer: Indeed, and I think that the viewers could strongly feel this in this recording. Well then, that concludes our interview for today.....

Yamaguchi: Eh, are we finished already? I haven't talked about “life” yet...

Everyone: (Laughs)

4gamer: I look forward to your future activities! Thank you for today!

translation note:

※ Boke and Tsukkomi are the roles in a Manzai, which is the traditional style of Japanese comedy (basically similar to stand-up comedy); Boke is the funny man while Tsukkomi is the straight/serious man. Here, Azakami was referencing how Kasama usually takes up the Tsukkomi role, and how they switched roles for today (Azakami usually does the Boke role).

(You may have heard/read this from mostly Trickstar stories since they reference it a lot, but several other Enstars [and any media in general] characters like to reference this!)

i am having so many thoughts about himeru rn (mostly violent) (thank you himeru solo preview)

Thinking about how the songwriter was told to portray a sad man who’s still holding onto a little bit of love.

Run To You

Chapter One

January 2023.

Last semester in college. 

Elle’s seniors say it is the most pivotal semester for an accounting student. 

Make it or break it.

It doesn’t help that her mother has been vocal about her being a graduating student. She knows she cannot claim it yet. Elle’s far from being a graduating student. 

Whenever her mother says that her breath hitches a little, maybe it’s because she needs to finish this degree this June. She has no choice. She’s at the mercy of her aunt, who’s residing overseas and funding her college education. It’s a fact she has to remember over and over again to force herself to study. 

As the youngest among her cousins, she has heard the great tales of her parents’ wealth in the 90s. 

Alam mo, Elle, dati, ang mama at papa mo ang naggagala sa amin sa Greenbelt noon tapos they would take us to restaurants to eat out. 

Mama mo ang nagpaaral sa amin dati. 

The best talaga sila mama at papa mo.

She could only listen to those stories and wished that her parents did better at handling their finances. 

Hindi naman namin alam na dadating ka sa buhay namin, anak.

They were trying for a baby for a long time and had her years later. Her late father and mother often say she’s an answered prayer, but it makes her wonder. Why did they not think too far ahead about the life their kid will have if she’s a prayer they have recited maybe a million times?  

Despite growing remorse for her parents’ past decisions, she keeps pushing forward. 

Ano nga naman magagawa ko? Nangyari naman na ang lahat. Wala na akong magagawa. Pagbubutihin ko na lang. Ako na ang bubuhay kay Mama pagtapos nito.

It has been ingrained in her mind that she will be the family’s breadwinner once she completes her degree. 

Si Elle ang pag-asa mo.

Her relatives would say it to her mother as she gloats that her daughter, Elle, has been the responsible and intelligent kid she has always wanted. Her mother would say she was able to raise her well by making sure she had the best study habits and demeanor as a kid. It has been that way since she was a kid, and it’s why her aunt has supported her studies since she was a kid. She was the wonder kid of the most influential maternal figure of the family after her grandmother. 

“Napaano ka, Elle?” Jun asks as he settles beside the lady drowning in her thoughts. 

“Ah, may naiisip lang,” she replies with a slight smile. 

“Oh, ito. I got us some coffee,” he says. 

“Nag-abala ka pa, huy,” she hastily replies. 

“Wala ‘yan. Break ka muna sa pagkakape sa Lawson. Tikman mo ‘yan. Bagong bukas ‘yan sa Dapitan,” he tells her as he places the cup of coffee on her armrest. 

Elle thanks him. On the cup’s lid is a carefully folded note. She opens it. 

Kaya mo ‘yan, Elle. Ikaw pa! Andito lang ako. - Jun <3

“Thank you, Jun. Effort mo talaga,” she says, lips curling slightly. 

She’s been hesitant to think about what Jun has been doing for her. Elle knows she cannot handle being responsible for another person’s feelings when she can’t even contain her own. Elle still cannot sleep at night alone with the lights off. She would feel suffocated by her thoughts. That alone proves that she will only hurt Jun if she lets herself fall for him. 

Kapag hindi kami nagtagal at napamahal na ako sa kanya, mawawala ako sa huwisyo. Hindi ko kaya ‘yon. May hinahabol pa akong pangarap.

Elle knows her limits. She has to be focused on one goal. All eyes are on her. A lot is expected from her. She knows she has no right to be sidetracked. Being an only child means carrying out the family’s responsibilities because it’s her role. 

“Saan ka nga pala after class, Elle? Gusto mo ba aral tayo kasama sila Denise at Coleen?” Jun asks. 

“Cafe ba? If yes, pass muna. Gusto ko muna umuwi agad. Masakit likod ko eh,” Elle responds. 

“Discord na lang?” Jun asks. 

She nods.

That is not just the reason why she declined Jun’s offer. Elle doesn’t tell her friends that she’s trying to budget the allowance that she gets from her mother to have her indulgences. She has committed to joining her friends outside the university in a drag show next month. For a student who commutes from her hometown to Manila every class day, Elle gets to save a little money that she spends on sudden school-related expenses and her hobbies. Because of this, she would put herself on strict financial planning to ensure she saves money. 

Purgang purga na ako sa siomai rice at rice meals ng Lawson.

She eats a lot of food at home to minimize the need to buy food around the university. It doesn’t help that lately, her friends would drag her with them to study in cafes or co-working spaces. Elle can only sigh at how tight her finances are. Unlike the pandemic's peak when she could do some business and work to support herself and contribute to their household while studying, she cannot do part-time jobs anymore as she has to focus on her courses. 

“Kakasimula palang ng sem na ‘to parang mamamatay na ako sa bigat ng subjects,” Coleen retorts as she picks up her bag from the plastic chair. 

“Discord na lang diba, Jun, Elle?” Denise asks.

Elle nods. 

“Okay. Kitakits. Mga eight na tayo magsimula para makahinga-hinga lahat pagtapos bumiyahe,” Jun says, looking at Elle. 

The three nod in agreement. 

“Una na ako, guys. Maghahabol pa ako ng jeep,” Elle says. 

“Gesi. Ingat, Mama Elle,” Denise replies. 

“Ikaw rin. Coleen, Jun, kayo rin,” Elle adds.

“Bye, Elle. Text me when you get home?” Jun says. 

Elle nods. 

After some hugs and a little chitchat, Elle steps out of the room as she places earphones on her ears. If one thing could silence her raging thoughts, it would be music. She momentarily forgets her worries over the upcoming first comprehensive exams for each of her subjects this semester. She doesn’t think of the many things she has to catch up on at home and her internship that’s about to end. She doesn’t think about the upcoming research defense initially scheduled last month. Aside from that, she has some org work to accomplish. 

She walks along the pathways in front of Albertus and Ruaño, music blasting in her ears. The wind is cooling her sweaty skin as she looks around her surroundings—a temporary solace. 

A man laughing with his friends blocks the path as she trudges on the sidewalk. 

“Excuse me po,” she retorts. 

“Ay, sensya po,” the man mutters. 

Elle stops herself from rolling her eyes. Engineering students block the pathway every day she’s in the university. They would talk in the middle of the sidewalk while walking slowly—her pet peeve. She continues to walk, focusing on the music she’s listening to. 

If not for the slow traffic along España, she would stay on the campus for a bit. She would let the cold wind of the late afternoon kiss her skin as her eyes wandered to the greenery from Plaza Mayor to Lovers’ Lane. The turmoil caused by the classes in her building is silenced by the solace brought upon by the campus once she goes out of Albertus. It has been that way since 2019, even when the college was still in the university’s carpark. 

Having those thoughts, Elle realized how far she had come. She was far from the girl who was discouraged by the guy she took care of when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore. 

Hindi mo kaya ‘tong course na ‘to.

Kung ako sa’yo, umalis ka na habang maaga pa. 

Shift ka na.

It was three years ago when it all happened, but his voice is still in Elle’s head whenever a semester starts. 

Will she be able to survive it? Is he right all along? 

It’s no secret that Accounting, in general, is never her dream career path. It didn’t help that she transferred from BS Accountancy to BS Management Accounting in her second year in college. Elle has always felt doubt and uncertainty about her decisions and path in life as an accounting student because she was never sure of it, and she had someone doubt her from the start. 

She sighs heavily as she exits the campus to cross the street through the footbridge. She looks at the heavy traffic flow caused by the rush hour. Surviving a three-hour lecture is one thing, but the commute home is another story. 

Her daily demise as a student could have been prevented if her parents planned her college education well, but she knows there is no point in thinking about it already. She can only live in the moment and work with what she is provided. She has no chance to voice out these feelings without upsetting her mother. 

As she reaches the sidewalk after going down from the footbridge, she waves her hand to signal an approaching jeepney she wants to ride. The vehicle stops, allowing her to get in and find a seat just in time before the light goes green again. 

It’s going to be a two-hour commute going home.

Blue Lock Episode 32 Review - Sibling Fight

To be honest, there’s a lot going on in this match. I’m not saying that as a bad thing. It’s just that the match is super fast-paced. It’s sort of hard to get a concrete review for such a fast-paced show, but I’ll do my best to talk about the things that stood out to me.

This match is to show what the Blue Lock project can do. The most important aspect of Blue Lock is chemical reaction. The reason why Ego chose these 11 players as the main ones is because of the chemical reaction each member can produce with each other and it’s actually working well. It’s because of the chemical reaction that Nagi was able to land the team’s first goal against the U-20. It’s because of chemical reaction that Rin is able to shine with the help of Isagi as the two have the most chemistry on the team. It’s also thanks to chemical reaction that other players are resonating with each other and themselves.

They’re the opposite of the U-20 team which is mainly about Sae. Sae, unlike his brother, does not have chemical reactions with his teammates. That’s the major difference. Even if both brothers are aloof, Rin can work with others while Sae cannot. There’s also the beef between the brothers. Whatever it is, it does seem like on Sae’s end, he wants Rin to not be in his shadow, but given his aloof personality, he’s probably bad at expressing this.

Other Blue Lock members get their time to shine as well. I really liked the teamwork between Karasu, Otoya and Chigiri, showing off that the practice match as Team B helped a lot. I also liked how Niko gets his spotlight too. He’s the shortest starting player on the field right now, but he makes up for his lack of height and physicality by being analytical. I also liked Aryu saving the team by using his long legs to block the goal. Very glam indeed.

I have this feeling that Shidou is going to be swapped in next episode, meaning someone in the U-20 team will get benched. Why do I get the feeling it’s Sendou? I also have this feeling that someone in the BL11 will get swapped too. I wonder who…

Okay, more voice actor trivia for those who care. Kitsunesato, the one with the orange striped hair is voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara. He’s been in several anime I’ve watched and am watching. You might know him as Allen from Paradox Live. He’s also in A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School as Amaaki Abe, the MC Haruaki’s twin brother. Then, there’s Wakatsuki, the one with the eyebags. He’s voiced by Taito Ban, who you might know as Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling. Next is Chou, the normal looking one with black hair. He’s voiced by Jun Kasama, whom I’m not too familiar with, but he was in Haikyuu as Aran.

The additional time was hilarious. Everyone was acting extremely weird and it’s all because it was a dream Bachira had for three days straight. Here I thought I had crazy dreams, but his are putting mine to shame.

How are you liking the match so far? Do you think the benched members will show up next episode?
