[A3!] Sakuya Sakuma | [SSR++] Guiding Stella | Starry Sky BoysNight - Training Camp Backstage

Kazunari: It’s beach time, baby--!

Juza: There’s hardly anyone here at all.

Izumi: So this is the swimming spot that only the locals know about that you were told about at the welcome party, Kazunari-kun.

Azami: Those are some seriously insane extrovert powers.

Chikage: This is a closing party, so it’ll be more easygoing with fewer people.

Islanders: He~y.

Sakuya: Huh, weren’t they at the welcome party the other night…?

Hisoka: …They’re carrying lots of coolers. Are they also going swimming?

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Izumi: …No, it was a gift to us.

Kazunari: It’s pretty hot right now, isn’t it? I’m gonna hype up this island a ton on Inste!

Juza: This one’s got seafood. Looks like it’s scallops ‘n jumbo shrimp.

Chikage: This one looks like it’s got meat and vegetables in it. Your’s looks pretty heavy, Azami…

Azami: Yeah, this one’s got drinks-- But it seems like it’s mostly alcoholic stuff. Prolly ‘cause some of y’all were really goin’ at it at the welcome party.

Hisoka: I dunno who you’re talking about.

Chikage: Me neither.

Azami: What are you gonna do, Sakuya-san? Well, it looks like there’s soft drinks too, but.

Sakuya: Umm… It’s just people in the troupe today, so…

Sakuya: --!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: Ahaha! That was so fun~! Hey, Chikage-san? Kazunari-san?

Sakuya: Hey, Juza-kun! Azami-kun! Hisoka-san!

Sakuya: And finally, Director!

Kazunari: Seems like SakuSaku’s having the time of his life~! Ah, wanna take a pic to commemorate you being drunk!?

Sakuya: Ahaha, yeah~! Let’s do it~!

Chikage: Who would’ve thought Sakuya starts getting so giggly when he’s drunk? That’s definitely a new discovery.

Azami: I mean, ain’t that the same way Banri-san gets when he’s drunk?

Juza: Lumpin’ Sakuya in with that bastard makes me feel bad for ‘im. 

Hisoka: Sakuya’s cute.

Izumi: --Alright, let’s all regroup once we get back to where we’re staying. Hopefully, Sakuya-kun will have sobered up a bit by then.

Chikage: That is a good point. It’d be a shame to be staying overnight there and be drunk for it.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: Uwhoa, it’s still pretty impressive no matter how many times we come here.

Azami: They’ve got futons laid out… Guess we really are stayin’ here.

Izumi: Staying overnight at a planetarium… That’s not something you experience every day.

Chikage: We are the test users, so let’s do our best to give our honest feedback at the end.

Juza: Yea.

Kazunari: My stock of Inste content is really piling up! This is hella awesome!

Sakuya: …Haah.

Hisoka: You seem depressed, Sakuya.

Sakuya: I mean, I’m not really depressed, I’m more so just reflecting… I really am sorry…

Hisoka: You didn’t annoy anyone, so it’s fine. You’re way better than Arisu.

Juza: And you’re ‘bout a million times better than Settsu.

Sakuya: Then… Was it really okay?

Chikage: Here, how about we take a look at the real night sky? That should make you feel better.

Izumi: Whoa… The sky is so full of stars right in front of you!

Sakuya: It’s like being right in the night sky…

Kazunari: It’s just like being a constellation, dontcha think?

Izumi: Then why don’t we do some stargazing until we get sleepy? How about we list out all the constellations we know one by one?

Azami: I’m sure someone’s gonna be asleep the minute we start, though.

Kazunari: That’s fun and makes it even more like a game! Alright then, let’s go--.

Hisoka: …Zzz.

Izumi: You already lost way too quickly…!

[A3! Backstage Translation] Tasuku Takato SSR — BE.MINE Ver.Tasuku (2/3)

Tasuku: I thought I should firmly clean it so as to not catch a cold, but It’s harder than I thought…

click below to read more

previous / next

Izumi: Your setting for the “BE.MINE” photoshoot has been decided! It’s “The boyfriend that wipes your head with a towel”

As for the setting—during a date…you got drenched when it suddenly rained…

Omi: I see. It was totally different from our speculations.

Tsuzuru: Right.

Muku: I think it’s such a wonderful situation that suits Tasuku perfectly well! Azami: Eh, Muku-san?

Muku: Ah, I’m sorry. I happened to overhear and joined the conversation…

Tasuku: All’s fine, but is this ‘wiping your head with a towel’ kind of setting really that good? 

Muku: Yes! This kind of scene where there's sudden rain during a date often appears in shoujo manga!

Muku: In a panic, they went home, and in the end the heroine and the boyfriend got drenched together.

Izumi: I also saw something similar in a drama. The heroine thought the date got ruined, so she felt bummed out.

The boyfriend who pretends to not care at all, asks “You okay?” while wiping the heroine’s hair that made her heart skip a beat.

Muku: Right! The gap between being drenched and being shown such a refreshing smile.

His toughness being shown through skinship…and such a gentle consideration. It’s definitely a setting that earns tons of heartbeat points.

Tasuku: So it’s somethin’ like that… I still don’t really get it, but it looks like I could use it as a reference for the photoshoot.

Citron: You can rely on Muku when it comes to understanding a girl’s heart! [1]

Omi: I also learnt from it, thanks.

Muku: Ehehe, you’re welcome. 

If you could use a reference, you can ask me to lend you a shoujo manga, Tasuku-san!

Citron: It looks fun, so I’ll help you practice~!

Tasuku: Yeah, I’ll ask you when I need help.

Tasuku: (Alright. I’m drenched in sweat after a practice as a guest appearance, let’s wash up, and refresh well…)

Hm? Is that Citron over there?

Citron: Tasuku, you came at the right time! I was thinking of going to your room after this.

Tasuku: Is there anythin’ you need…hey, dontcha think you should go wipe your head with that towel first?

Dry your hair properly after a shower, or else you’ll get cold.

Citron: I drenched my hair to help you out for the photoshoot! 

You may use me to practice for the photoshoot and clean off my hair!

Whether you can properly clean someone’s hair in a boyfriend-like way, I’ll give you a strict examination!

Tasuku: Ah right, you told me you’d help me practice.

(It’ll certainly could be a practice, so I’ll try it out)

Got it. Hand me over the towel.

Citron: Yes, think of me as a girlfriend and gently clean my hair.

Tasuku: …Is this fine?

Citron: You’re too crude, my head hurts~!

Tasuku, you’re a hopeless boyfriend!

Tasuku: I thought I should firmly clean it so as to not catch a cold, but It’s harder than I thought…

Kumon: Nii-chan, I’ll wash your back today!

Juza: Aight, thanks.

Citron: Kumon and Juza, you came at the right time!

I’ll have you two practice on me after you’re done!

Tasuku: Why are you so aggressive about havin’ me practice for my photoshoot…?

But, it is true that I need practice for the shoot. So when you guys finish, I’ll wipe off your hair too.

Juza: Whaddya mean practice…?

Kumon: Hmhm? What’s up?

Kumon: Sorry for the wait, Tasuku-san!

I just finished—!

Juza: Me too.

Tasuku: Alright, just as I explained earlier. To practice for my photoshoot, I’ll be wiping off your hair with a towel.

Kumon: Understood! Can ya start with me?

Tasuku: Yeah.

…How’s this?

Kumon: It’s kinda ticklish, you’re probably a lil too gentle?

I guess I’d prefer it if you’re a lil more stronger with it!

Tasuku: So it’s too gentle this time.

I guess I should be changing my approach, and try to suit the other person.

Citron: Not only that, you have to be considerate of their feelings!

Tasuku: Do I really have to do that?

It’s far deeper than I thought…

Citron: Come on, the next one is Juza!

Tasuku: (Hyodo and Hyodo Jr.’s preference might just be similar. This time, just a little stronger…)

How’s this? If there’s anythin’, don’t hold back and just ask.

Juza: Nah, it feels just nice.

Tasuku: Really?

Citron: You’re getting better little by little! Tasuku, you should keep up at this pace!

Sakuya: Hm? What’s everyone doing?

Citron: Tasuku, I’ll also leave Sakuya to you.

Tasuku: That’s what I was about to do.

Until I get the hang of it, I’ll clean everyone who gets here.

Sakuya: Eh?

[emilycollins00]

Hiii I don't know if you would write it (it's okay if you don't) but to change the tone a bit, could you do a list of toxic traits/red flags of the troupes members? I saw it in another fandom and thought it would be interesting! love your stuff btw

Thank you for waiting love!! 💕 That said, hope you are still around aksdjkdn it's been a while.

I wasn’t sure if you meant in a relationship or just in general, so I went with the flow a bit and did whatever felt more suitable for each at the time (hence why some are longer)

Warning: I focused on showing bad traits and exploiting them so my apologies if any fan doesn’t like what I chose, don’t take it too much to heart!

A3! and their toxic traits

Sakuya – Conflict avoidance / Insecure

He struggles to voice what he wants because he’s afraid of upsetting others, this leads to Sakuya never deciding anything which can become kinda... vexing.

Of course, when there’s a fight he just doesn't wants to argue, and definitely avoids discussing certain topics. Not to say he’ll just apologize, but he will often try to find a solution (even if it doesn’t make much sense) to pretend it’s all good and everyone is content when in reality, no ones is.

Itaru – Childish / Half-assed

Has a tendency to talk about people behind their back when they do something that upsets him, instead of talking it out.

Sometimes going out with him feels like babysitting. He tends to complain if he’s in a place he didn’t want to be. It’s his day off and you two already saw one another three days ago, couldn’t he just have stayed at home?

Incredibly bad memory when it comes to remembering special occasions but try asking him when is the birthday of his favorite character… or maybe don’t.

Masumi – Overly intense / Tunnel focus

This boy’s downfall are relationships. Masumi has incredibly intense feelings – that’s no surprise, so when he finally falls the beginning is perfect, almost fairytale like.

But then he asks opinions about choosing a wedding venue. Asks about a having kids. When going to the store he even begins to look for baby clothes. First week gone and he’ll want to meet with in-laws. Want to move in together.

He loves so much that it’s overbearing and doesn’t realize how pressuring he is – how fast he’s willing to move everything. Still, what’s there to think? Their partner must want the same thing.

Chikage – Righteous / Emotionally Distant

Being with him, whether it’s in a romantic relationship or friendship, is emotionally draining.

While people pour everything they have into their relationships, Chikage, aside from the people from Mankai, won't even be half as invested. And all the time, patience, and effort that should've come from both parties is off unbalance which ofc turns into an eventual distance.

IF he’s ever confronted about it he sighs, because as expected, it now has become a tiring task for him. People know he’s usually like this. Why getting angry or bothered by his persona? It’s not like he was lying or anything to anyone.

Tsuzuru – Workaholic/ Untrustworthy

I think at first his relationships would be great. Tsuzuru does try to make time for friends/partners/family after all.

But sooner than later, he’s again cramped up with scriptwriting, uni, work... you name it.  People notice the pressure he’s under, so he’s usually proposed to take a break, to go with someone somewhere, but he just doesn’t listen. 

He will be apologetic “I’m so sorry, I have to complete this before the end of... “I forgot we were…” “I’ll make it up to you next time!” and it’s understandable, but he’s always like this.

If anyone insist too much, he might get irritated and snap, and if the person snaps back or leave he does realize how badly he messed up… but half the time, he won’t make a move. He’ll tell himself to talk it later.

Citron – Toxic Positivity / Overthinker

King of no one can be mad if we don’t focus on the issue? A little bit tactless given the situation as well.

And god bless him but while he takes notice if anyone is not feeling well, partner or not, he decides to be absolutely oblivious to their bad moods. If they want to talk about it he doesn’t get it either. Why is everyone upset about it, at least it’s over now!

Doesn’t like taking responsibility for his actions, making excuses to justify his behavior.

Tenma – Accusatory / Invasive

Always has something to say, no matter the argument – even if he's clearly the one in the wrong. Instead of working it out rationally, he shifts the blame away and pins it on the other person, guilt-tripping into thinking he's the one compromised.

If others were indeed wrong however, prepare for a non-stop nagging for days to come. If driven by his ego, this will escalate and in eeeevery conflict, this will be brought up.

In a relationship Tenma thinks he has the right to intervene in his partner’s personal affairs, meaning if they have something going on or someone they have a problem with, he’s going to lash out even if he was asked to leave it alone. What-? Why are you mad? You should be thanking him!

Muku – Pessimist / Passive

He want to know everything about everyone and in a relationship, his partner is always free to tell him about their problems… but that’s when troubles begin.

Overly sensitive, and when stresses he’s the type to blame himself in any situation which makes dealing with him kind of exhausting after a while.

That said, despite his kind self, Muku is overly passive in his communication. He often avoids direct confrontation, leading to unresolved issues which given his pessimistic nature as well have him tensed all the time awaiting when his actions might turn against him.

Since it really always his fault, you don’t have to remind him.

Misumi – Uncommunicative / Dismissive

Misumi, as many here, has a tendency to avoid confrontation and suppress his emotions, leading to communication barriers and unresolved issues in any type of relationship.

As it goes, this lack of communication prevents any relationship from progressing and resolving underlying issues, creating a stiff dynamic... at least from other people's view, since Misumi likes to get over things quickly and expects everyone to do the same. A little bit tactless in that sense.

This includes having a hard time taking the blame. He wants it to be on everyone. Even if it’s his fault, the closest anyone’s ever going to get is something like Mmm we all said and did things we shouldn’t, right? let’s try to move on!

Kumon – Overwhelming / Unattentive

He doesn’t even know he usually speaks over or interrupts others but definitely knows he has the need to protect their partner.

He’s so deluded into thinking he’s doing a good thing by pulling their partner away from the slightest danger. Sidewalk is too crowded? He’ll insist to walk on the busy road. Too hot today? Maybe it’s better to stay inside. He pulls everyone away every time he thinks they are close to getting hurt. At first it’s nice, but does become suffocating.

And if it's his partner tells him they don’t need his help, he’ll laugh before assisting anyway.

In general relations sometimes he will not stop even if you can’t keep up with him if he’s too excited. He’s just go go go all the time.

Kazunari – Liar / Dependant

On one hand Kazunari knows he can be completely honest with his partner, but he can’t differentiate between being honest in a way that supports a healthy relationship without… sometimes being honest in a way where he says something to hurt their feelings. So yeah, he sometimes lies.

He also involuntarily crosses boundaries (no consent in certain lives, photos uploaded…) and suffocates with constant attention. He struggles with trust issues too, constantly seeking validation from his partner or others to alleviate his insecurities.

This behavior in the end becomes draining if he’s in a relationship, as his partner feels trapped and unable to maintain their independence.

Yuki – Non-existent filter / Accusatory

During intense moments of blinding anger, Yuki jabs out everything he thinks without ever sugarcoating it, and there really isn't much to stop that.

Also maybe because while logical most of the time, he’s a bit short-tempered in certain situations (especially when stressed), so if provoked or at least he feels recriminated, he'll say some really hurtful things, insecurities that people took time to open up to with him.

If something goes wrong and he’s not in the fault he’s quick to complain as well. He already knew what was going to happen, so why did everyone insist on doing it? And why would anyone think he will sympathise afterwards? 

Banri – Expectations / Charge

Wants to be in charge of everything. Prone to micromanaging their partner while stubbornly refusing to ask for help even if it’s obvious,

He has so much going on that if anyone crosses him, romantic relationship or not, Banri will play with the “I will leave if you want”. Because he would leave and he wouldn’t even feel regretful.

Because of his good memory and capacities, he tends to wait for people to catch things quickly. He didn’t bring coffee to class and expects people to know that he drank it on the way because morning rehearsal was rough. He didn’t answer anyone’s text so he expected everyone to know that needs revision – to him, that stuff is easy. What? No one knew? He always does similar details for everyone – he shouldn’t have to say it out loud every time.

Specially his partner. They should know what he’s thinking in these moments. If they don’t, maybe they didn’t love him as much as they said.

Taichi – Jealous / Low self-esteem

This boy lacks confidence in himself and the relationship no matter the type.

Catches himself thinking how everyone is much better than him – and in a relationship he’s scared his partner would leave him for anyone. Makes sense. They are perfect and kind, he’s just... him.

Of course he would want to be with their partner all the time, very clingy and overly emotional when arguing with him or when they tell him off. Might have taken a look or two at his partner's notifications of messages. He felt bad after though, he promises!

Juza – Self-esteem / Walls

Usually clueless about what he’s doing wrong and can’t seem to know how much effort to put into a new relationship, romantic or not. It could be days of not talking with him or him not answering just because he didn’t know if it would feel abrasive.

So yeah, I wouldn’t say he’s blinded by his anxieties and worries but then again, it’s not like he’ll ever talk about it with anyone either.

In a relationship, Juza wouldn’t think they love him enough to stay if he reveals all his insecurities. In his eyes, his partner will leave him one day, he knows it. They are too good for someone like him.

Sakyo –  Rigid / Controlling

Exceedingly strict but only when it’s related to him. Like, he doesn’t pick up the phone during work time because that wouldn’t be professional of him, yet when he’s with others? He continues mentioning work-related stuff or leaves to take calls.

There’s also certain controlling behavior in his romantic relationships. While he may initially come across as caring and devoted, his need for control becomes evident as the relationship progresses, leading to feelings of suffocation and resentment.

When in a fight, Sakyo is rough with his words and has to have the last word no matter what. His anger also lasts for days and the silent treatment is a huge thing. Will act like nothing has happened after that.

Omi -  Low esteem / Unwillingness to commit

This man's steps on eggshells with relationships, romantic or not. Omi is terrified to let anyone in and see their eyes judging.

In a relationship he’s too scared to show how much he loves his partner and honestly that very own cautiousness, that unwillingness to fall, hurts more than he realizes.

Omi is also someone who never expresses complicated feelings, either. He might just need time, but never asks for any.

People are left feeling like they might only be in the relationship because he doesn’t want to hurt their feelings. When asked he hesitates, which hurts the most. He can’t seem to understand he needs to let himself go. This happens again and again because in the end, Omi decides that it’s best to not fall at all – he doesn’t need another scar.

Azami – Extreme / Overly guarded

Azami is prude but as he grows, he becomes not so… accepting.

He scoffs wherever he sees something he doesn’t approve, and if in a relationship their partner wants to hold his hand, he’ll rip it away and lecture them angrily about how it might look to others. You should know by now.

As such, he tends to be emotionally distant and closed-off in all relationships. He struggles and often avoids discussing his feelings or concerns.

This emotional guardedness creates insecurity in the relationships, as many feel like they are unable to connect with him on a deeper level. His reluctance to open up leads to communication misunderstandings as well.

Their partner or friends must not love him, that’s the only reason he can think of – but he won’t show his fear of that possibility.

Tsumugi – Distracted / People pleaser

This young man doesn’t make it on purpose, which is all the way down frustrating.

He will have periods of time where he’s attentive to everyone, and in a relationship his partner is his number one priority.

Others becomes overly focused on his own pursuits, leaving little time or energy for nurturing any type of relationship. When he notices, he becomes again hyper attentive, doing anything for the relationship to not deteriorate.

But since additionally Tsumugi struggles to communicate effectively about his emotions and decisions, this leads to more distance to grow.

Hisoka – Ghosting / Short-tempered

Honestly he doesn’t look into the care and delicacy relationships take. Doesn’t answer messages nor call and if he does it’s quick and short.

He’s sparse with his attention. No, he doesn’t want to go out, partner, friend, or whatever should stop asking. Also it’s becoming annoying. When in a fight, if he finds it’s not important, it will always seem like he doesn’t care about anything.

Hisoka won’t compromise either, he won’t be more attentive, he doesn’t want to be, that’s too much work. And if they try to force it? Then people just don’t get him and probably just want to change him.

People unwllingness to accept and understand who he is only proves to him that this specific relationship whatever people what to call it, wasn’t meant to be, so he shrugs it off.

Azuma – Façade / Bottling emotions

No matter what, he refuses to share information about himself and can’t keep everything equal, whether you are a friend or his partner.

If there’s a feeling like something is off, and anyone mentions it rather than admitting what’s on his mind he’ll simply say that it’s fine, that all is good and perfect, and then proceed to bury it even deeper within him.

Azuma keeps burying his feelings in and trying not to resent whatever is causing him like this more and more until one day something happens and his emotions erupt out of him and he’s crying or worse, leaves for some time.

If anyone wants to know where he’s been, well, good luck trying to figure it out.

Tasuku – Rough / Absent-minded

Prioritizes his own needs and desires above others, resulting in selfish and insensitive behavior. I can’t imagine Tasuku changing his routine to fit someone else in, lover or not.

To him it’s pretty straightforward If someone doesn’t fall into sync with him, that’s life and this relationship just wasn’t meant to be. What? Why should he change the time he goes to the gym – shouldn’t his partner just get up earlier if they want to eat breakfast with him?

Or with his friends, sure he gets along, but why should he alter the way his life is, and try to finish rehearsal earlier? He doesn’t get the reason to change and tends to avoid fighting, not just because of cutting contact, but because he doesn’t want to fight with anyone... he doesn’t have time for whatever it is.

Homare – Overly worried / Opinionated

By now everyone should know that he will not give you much space when there’s a problem. He will constantly be asking questions about it and little time does he tries to listen to all versions or if he even should intervene.

And holy molly does he intervene often enough.

Also Homare doesn't get mad almost never, but becomes incredibly distressed when something goes wrong.

He won't say anything when he's feeling like that though. It's hard for him to control his emotions during a difficult time period and usually needs to be comforted to calm down but becomes so difficult when it’s time to allow people into the real him.

Guy – Distant / Trust

If this man ever has any type of problem, most people, partner included, will never know.

It’s not that he’s actively trying to keep things away, but he has no way of knowing that he should be sharing certain things.

Everyone is held at arm’s length. His partner might think being his partner would make them close, but it always feels like he confides in his troupe more than them.

Guy doesn’t have a good example of what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like, so don’t expect him to do anything romantic unless anyone tells him so. He also doesn’t have a filter, meaning he’s brutally honest. No one should be surprised if he hurts feelings in his monotonous voice.

Hope you all enjoyed it, definitely interesting to think of them in these terms.

Have a wonderful day! 💕💕

A3! Event Translation - Of Unfading Memories. (1/11)

Kumon: Nii-chan, look, look! I just bought a new disposable camera!

Juza: A new one....? Didn't you say you bought one the other day too?

Kumon: I used up all that film during the summer holidays!

Homare: Now that you mention it, these kind of nostalgic hobbies seems to be popular these days.

Kumon: Nostalgic hobbies?

Tsumugi: I guess it's about "retro". Feeling nostalgic and remembering things from the past and things of that nature.

Azami: Ah, that's true. Fashion often incorporates old trends too.

Tenma: My previous shoot was like that too. The background and costumes had an old-fashioned feel too them.

Chikage: It looks like old-fashioned coffee shops are popular too. I heard some new are even opening with that kind of design.

Juza: It's true that the old-fashioned desserts at those coffee shops are delicious.

Kumon: Ah! Ne, since we're speaking of retro......

Director: I'm back--. I stopped by the bookstore on my way home and got back late! Have you all had dinner?

Juza: Mhm, we ate it all.

Kumon: Did you eat yet, Director? If you haven't eaten yet, can I warm it up for you?

Director: Thank you. But I'll do it by myself later, so it's fine. I wan't to look over the book I bought earlier....

Muku: What type of book did you buy?

Director: It's a magazine that features amusement parks.

Azami: Amusement parks?

Homare: Are you planning to go to one soon?

Director: Actually, I got a job request from an amusement park, but I've never actually been to one so I thought I'd check it out.

Kumon: A request from an amusement park!? Sounds fun!

Itaru: Now that you mention it, we did a play at an amusement park for a White Day event before.

Tenma: We all even went to rebuild an amusement park in America once.

Tasuku: That's true. They were both great experiences.

Tsumugi: Things like that don't come around often, so I'm glad we have these opportunities.

Juza: So, what kind of request is it this time?

Director: Actually, I'm still checking the details of it and haven't decided whether to take it or not.

Director: If I decided to finalize it, I'll make sure to tell everyone again.

------------------------------------------------

Juza: An amusement park huh..... I wonder where we'll go next.

Kumon: Yeah, I'm curious! I really hope the request is accepted--.

Juza: Why, are you interested in it?

Kumon: Yeah, the play at the amusement park in America was fun too! If we were to do something like it again, I'd definitely want to participate in it this time around too!

Juza: That's true, you seemed to be having a lot of fun back then.

Kumon: Everyone's acting in the costumes was really fun, and the Tiger version of Nii-chan was just soooo cool that I got super excited!!

Juza: Is that so....

Juza: Oh! By the way, I was going to ask you this earlier, but I remembered that in the past, we once went to a retro-style amusement park with our family, right?

Juza: Ah, when we were both still in elementary school.

Kumon: I knew it! That time was suuupeeer fun!!!

Juza: ........

Juza: (A retro amusement park......)

[A3!] Sakuya Sakuma | [SSR++] Guiding Stella | Starry Sky BoysNight - Training Camp Backstage Preview

Kazunari: It's beach time, baby--!

Juza: There’s hardly anyone here at all.

Izumi: So this is the swimming spot that only the locals know about that you were told about at the welcome party, Kazunari-kun.

Azami: Those are some seriously insane extrovert powers.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Juza: This one’s got seafood. Looks like it’s scallops ‘n jumbo shrimp.

Chikage: This one looks like it’s got meat and vegetables in it. Your’s looks pretty heavy, Azami…

Azami: Yeah, this one’s got drinks-- But it seems like it’s mostly alcoholic stuff. Prolly ‘cause some of y’all were really goin’ at it at the welcome party.

Hisoka: I dunno who you’re talking about.

Chikage: Me neither.

Azami: What are you gonna do, Sakuya-san? Well, it looks like there’s soft drinks too, but.

Sakuya: Umm… It’s just people in the troupe today, so…

Sakuya: --!

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Sakuya: Uwhoa, it’s still pretty impressive no matter how many times we come here.

Azami: They’ve got futons laid out… Guess we really are stayin’ here.

Izumi: Staying overnight at a planetarium… That’s not something you experience every day.

Chikage: We are the test users, so let’s do our best to give our honest feedback at the end.

Juza: Yea.

Kazunari: My stock of Inste content is really piling up! This is hella awesome!

Sakuya: …Haah.

Hisoka: You seem depressed, Sakuya.

Sakuya: I mean, I’m not really depressed, I’m more so just reflecting… I really am sorry…

Hisoka: You didn’t annoy anyone, so it’s fine. You’re way better than Arisu.

Juza: And you’re ‘bout a million times better than Settsu.

Sakuya: Then… Was it really okay?

[Event Story TL] Weeping Star On a Summer Night (Chapter 6)

Hisoka: …Earlier, I saw a boy by the beach saying that he was “looking for Orihime”

previous / next

location: inn

Izumi: Woah, these seafood dishes look amazing…!

For you all to even prepare an entire welcoming party for us, I feel bad somehow…

Kurahashi: When the locals heard there’s going to be a popular theater troupe coming to this island, they were honestly excited. Now, please don’t hold yourself back.

Local A: Boy, want anything else for your drink refill? [1]

Azami: Boy…

I’ll have cola.

Local A: Right, then what about that boy over there?

Sakuya: Uhm, me!?

Um… I’ll also have cola, thank you!

Local A: O–i! Two colas over here!

Local B: Aye!

Azami: You only drank one cup of sake, don’t you wanna get more?

Sakuya: …Well honestly speaking, I’m not really used to going to drinking parties. So I’m a bit worried about drinking too much when I’m outside.

Azami: I see.

Local B: Alright, here’s your cola.

Sakuya: Thank you!

Azami: Thanks.

Sakuya: Let’s raise our glasses filled with soft-drinks, cheers

Azami: …Cheers.

Local C: Ooh, you guys are big drinkers ain’t ya?

Local D: ‘Course, youngsters should be that way. Here, don’t hold yourself back and drink more!

Chikage: Thank you for your kind offer.

Juza: In our troupe, once someone starts drinking sake it’ll get unstoppable, so they’re bound to get stronger gradually. [2]

In our troupe, it’ll get hard to stop once someone starts drinking, so a lot of us are strong drinkers.

Local D: Heh, that’s a good troupe right there. 

When you get back, bring some sake for them, aight?

Kazunari: Big thanks～!

Time to send invites to everyone in LIME～

Kurahashi: Do you want seconds?

Hisoka: …Yeah, please.

Kurahashi: Are the snacks enough?

Hisoka: It’s okay.

…Also, there’s something I want to ask.

Kurahashi: Is something up?

Hisoka: …Earlier, I saw a boy by the beach saying that he was “looking for Orihime”

Kurahashi: Orihime…?

…Ah, Kousei? Then, Orihime is…

location: outside, at night.

Sakuya: Woah, the stars are so pretty!

Azami: So this is what a starry sky looks like huh…

Izumi: Yeah, A sky lit by stars doesn’t happen a lot in Veludo Way…

Kazunari: Speaking of which, I heard that you can see shooting stars here.

Hisoka: Is that so?

Kazunari: I had a few chats at the welcoming party. They told me stuff like recommended diving spots, or hidden gem spots where there aren’t many people

Azumi: I thought your table was quite loud, so that’s what was happening.

Kazunari: Don’t wanna drink too much so gotta save it by lotsa talking! Wasn’t I cool?

Sakuya: I see…I’ll remember that.

Kazunari: Ah, right! They also talked about something interesting…

In the Weeping Island, “If you wish during the Meteor Shower Night in the Sacred Mountain, it shall come true”...something like that.

Izumi: Now that you mention it, our play this time also involves a meteor shower. I’m guessing the idea was inspired by that saying.

Juza: …A meteor shower, huh.

I wonder if it’ll happen during our stay here.

Chikage: At least compared to Veludo Way, our chances are high, so we might be able to see them.

Izumi: In case we actually see them, let’s think of a wish!

Azami: But we already wrote them back in the dorms, aren’t we asking too much?

Kazunari: Right! …Uhm, has everyone written down their own share of wish?

Sakuya: Yes! I’ve already written and hung up mine!

Azumi: Yep, me too.

Kazunari: Hyodle? Still stumped?

Juza: ..Yeah, thought I could narrow it down to one at least until we get back.

Azami: He’s so humble; Kamekichi needs to learn a thing or two from him.

Kazunari: For real. What about Chikachon and Hisohiso?

Chikage: …I ended up not coming up with anything at all.

Becoming an adult basically means making those wishes come true yourself.

Hisoka: …I’m also at loss. Couldn’t come up with anything, so I’ll make it something about marshmallows.

Chikage: As always.

Hisoka: …I’ll write yours too. Something like “I hope I’ll like marshmallows”

Chikage: You…

Kousei: I love Orihime! I love Orihime! I lo–...!

Izumi: …A kid? What’s he doing here?

Hisoka: (That kid, the one I met earlier at noon…)

Kousei: One more time…!

Izumi: Hi, what’re you doing here? It’s already late, so it’s best if you go home, alright?

Kousei: …!

…This is my home, so I’m fine!

Izumi: Ah…

Wait, did he think I was a suspicious person…!?

Azami: Don’t think too much about it.

Sakuya: Even so, what’s that kid doing at this time?

Juza: He said something about Orihime.

Kazunari: Oho, practicing a confession? Orihime-chan!

Azami: Huh…!

Doing something like that in public is just shameless!!

Hisoka: …Orihime is that kid’s family.

Chikage: Family?

Hisoka: I met him earlier today. He was looking for Orihime, he said.

I got curious, so I asked about him at the welcoming party.

Hisoka: His name is Kousei, Orihime disappeared around last year. It’s a cat that’s like a family to him, so he’s been looking for it since then.

Sakuya: So Orihime’s the cat’s name.

Hisoka: At first, everyone in his family looked for it, but a few months had passed and they seem to have given up

Even so, it ended up with him looking for Orihime by himself, so people around him offered to help but…

Each time, they got rejected. I also offered to help but he said no.

Juza: Was he just shy?

Kazunari: Yeah, but if it’s outsiders like us I might understand but…

Chikage: …Whatever it is, he must’ve had his own reasons.

Izumi: We don’t really know the area well, so we probably don’t have that much free time…

But, let’s spare time the best we can and go look for Orihime too.

Azami: We might be able to by paying attention to whichever way we go.

Chikage: …Even here, their goodwill is in effect.

Hisoka: Chikage too, thank you in advance.

Chikage: How many times do I have to say I’m not good with cats.

…Well, I’ll try to be on the lookout.

translation notes

[1] the original, "島民" in english translates to islander, not sure why but it felt weird. Probably because I’m Indonesian and the word sounded a little too familiar in a negative way, so I used the word Local which sounded better.

[2] I had to change the wording from the original a bit because Juza wasn’t being specific enough; it sounded like everyone in the troupe drinks. But kinda sounds funny coming from him?
