[glitchdecay]

i saw this scene being uploaded in english the other day and i can't not rewatch the japanese version because, you know, seiyuu brainrot and whatnot. translations (completely my own) under the cut.

Prompto: What're you doing?

Noctis: Nothing, really. Just spacing out.

Prompto: Huh. I see.

[ Leave him alone / Talk about something random / Wait for him to speak ]

Noctis: Hmph—

Prompto: We went through so much today, huh?

Noctis: Everything's so new to us, too.

Prompto: You can say that again. Things have been super hard, but I didn't expect every day to be so much fun. Y'see, everything I see is new to me.

Prompto: I never expected things to turn out this way or to go out on a trip together.

Noctis: Yeah.

Prompto: How long have we known each other again? It's since high school... So five years?

Noctis: But I've known you for longer. Was it since elementary school?

Prompto: Eh? How'd you remember that?

Noctis: 'Course I'd remember. You stared at me so much.

Prompto: Ugh. [nervous laughter] You see, that's because I have my reasons...

Noctis: But you were still like, "Nice to meet ya!" at the high school entrance ceremony.

Prompto: I had to really brace myself to talk to you that time.

Prompto: [sighs] Kinda takes me back.

Noctis: You could've just talked to me, you know.

Prompto: I know it's easy for you to say— You wouldn't understand, Noct.

Prompto: Back then, I—

Prompto: Sorry, man. It really is nothing.

[ Ask him out of concern / You're concerned but you don't force it out of him / You won't get mad so ask him to be honest ]

Noctis: What is up with that? Just say it.

Prompto: [sighs] All right.

Prompto: You see...

Prompto: I used to be unable to reach out to other people.

Prompto: And I... didn't have anyone that I could call a true friend.

Prompto: I was always by myself.

Prompto: So sometimes I end up thinking maybe I'm not worth anything.

[ "You're joking." / "I kinda noticed." / "Didn't expect that." ]

Noctis: You've always gotten hung up on loads of things.

Prompto: Hehe.

Noctis: See? You're getting hung up on something right now.

Noctis: Like, "I'm the only commoner," or "I'm weaker than the others..."

Noctis: "At least I gotta try to make it so everyone feels at ease," so that's what you've been doing, right?

Prompto: Ah—

Noctis: Being considerate of others is pretty cool by itself. It doesn't come easily.

Noctis: The fact that you do that is just like you, and it's a good thing.

Prompto: Huh? You're saying I can just be myself?

Noctis: Yeah. What's wrong with that?

Prompto: Yeah... well... Sorry if I said anything weird.

Noctis: Besides, I'd never let anyone useless hang around me in the first place.

Prompto: Eh? Why are you mad about that?

Prompto: ... Thanks.

Prompto: Oh, man. I feel like a weight's lifted off my shoulders.

Noctis: Heh. What's up with that?

Prompto: Right, I'm gonna keep doing my best with the things I can do.

Noctis: I'd appreciate it.

[ Obtained the "Pop" photo filter effect. ] ※ Yep, you read that right: This photo filter is called "Prompto" in the Japanese version.

If somebody is interested in buying my old seiyuu stuff let me know! We can calculate prices and shipping costs, I already anticipate that I will sell them at a very cheap price because I need space and I want some seiyuu fan to have them!

What I see here now is Something that cannot be taken for granted What seems obvious is Things that only exist here now

Through the colorful days I wish I could be myself While measuring the distance from you Let's hold hands together so we don't get separated

Finish the story Carry your bag as usual I'll come pick you up I want to throw away my boring hesitations so that I can't see you

When I met you and hugged you, time passed If you choose to break up, that's also the right choice. Someday even you will change, and so will I In order to meet, yes, I chose to part.

Looking ahead, I move on (already) To make it easier for you to walk But if I find my way Please don't worry about it, just hold your chest up.

Even people who aren't here I thought I'd save them all with my own hands. I can't do that though I won't forget, I won't forget Having you was my salvation

When I met you and hugged you, time passed If you change your mind, that's also correct. Even when you stop, it's not that bad If you think so, then yes, it hasn't stopped.

Many emotions are circulating in my heart Listen to the sound of the hands of the clock turning It would be precious if we met in the flowing time I'm about to cry, I wonder what she is like Sorry, thank you.

今ここに　見えるのは 当たり前じゃ　ないもの 当たり前に　見えるのは ここにしか今　ないもの

色とりどりの　日々を抜けて 僕らしくあれたら　それで良かった 君との距離を　計りながら はぐれないように　繋いだ手と手で

物語を終えて いつものようにバッグを担いで 君を迎えに行く つまらない　迷いはもう　投げ捨てたい 君が見えないように

君に会って　抱き合って　時が過ぎて 別れを選んだら　それもまた正解だ いつか君だって変わって　そりゃ僕だって 出会うために　そうだ　別れを選んだ

先を見据えて　僕は進む(もう) 君が少しでも　歩きやすいように だけどもし　自分の道を見つけたら どうぞ構わないで　胸を張っておくれよ

ここにいない人たちまで 全部この手で救ってやろうだなんて それはできないけど 忘れない、忘れないよ 君がいたことが　僕の救い

君に会って　抱き合って　時が過ぎて 想いが変わったら　それもまた正解だ 立ち止まった時だって　悪くはないって 思えたなら　そうだ　止まってはいないな

巡り巡る感情　胸の奥の多くの 回る時計の針の音を聞いて 流れるような時の中で　出会ったなら尊いから 涙が出そうだ　なんだろうな ごめんね、ありがとう。

君に会って　抱き合って　時が過ぎて 別れを選んだら　それもまた正解だ いつか君だって変わって　そりゃ僕だって 出会うために　そうだ　別れを選んだ

Kakihara-san's transition into a yandere-VA

Shin stole the kabedon from Toma and that was the beginning of the end...

Below: Parallels between Karasuba (Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly) and Toma (Amnesia: Memories)

I talked about this in this post already. At least in Psychedelica, they made the yandere-ending into an obvious bad ending and did not normalize the abuse like in 7'Scarlet...

Can we literally talk about Natsu's VA for one moment because he literally served in the latest episode of 100 years quest. I can't really word myself well but I love Tetsuya Kakihara so much as Natsu.

Kakihara Tetsuya's 《Iris School of Wizardry: Vinculum Hearts》 Interview

This is an unofficial translation of Kakihara Tetsuya's interview for the game. His role in the game is as the character Clyde King.

What do you think of the character that you voiced? When I first saw the character illustration, I really thought that he was the sparkly princely type, with 'THE Ikemen' feel. Even though he's the student council president, he's actually pretty frank and seems like an everyday guy. This gap between what's expected and what he is makes him interesting and fun to act as.

Do you think you have anything in common with the character you voiced? Hmm…. the first impression would be the voice right? (laugh) Sorry, joking (laugh). He's someone that would walk the talk. I wouldn't feel good if I said I'd do something but then not do it, which is a similar point between us. In my mind, 'I must definitely fulfill the things I've said!' so I will do it. Because if it's an idea that I can think up, it'd have been something I can generally do (laugh). He's also like that, which I think is charming. Also, he has a party-loving side, which is another point of similarity. I love parties. Being hyper and having fun with everyone. You can see this side of me in my 4th mini album Dandigi Dan. The motifs of the PV are friends and parties. Please watch it (laugh).

Other than the character you voiced, are there any other characters you find notable? Actually, the most notable character for me is the protagonist Aria. In the game scenarios, the Clyde route happens after a year of him having been in love with her. I acted with all my heart in it, developing the thoughts of wanting to know more about her. The protagonist is also the player character so everyone can project themselves in her. It's like there's a multitude of Arias, so there's a difference in the way I perceive the feelings for the role, which makes it notable for me. As for others… Kasuya Yuuta's Cyril! I think the cute voice Kasuya portrayed was great. Kasuya's my oshi (laugh).

During the recording, was there any aspect that you found challenging? Though the character's set as an 18-year-old, he has a grown up appearance and is also the seemingly princely student council president, so I thought that I should act as the charismatic type. But when it was time to act, I was told to just act like a natural boy-next-door type, so his expressions had to be human, with realistic behaviour fitting for an 18-year-old guy.

Which scene or dialogue line was memorable? The sad ending. I liked it. As an actor, it was the part that's most worthwhile to act! The happy ending too, but there's a variety of endings prepared so please watch all the routes.

This work is about a magical school with a theatrical aspect. If you were able to use magic, what kind of magic would you use? Only one… what should I pick… If I were to just simply pick, as an actor I want magic that makes all the interesting character roles land on me. I want to cast magic that lets me have fun acting and share this fun with others too!

Please leave a message to the audience! In the past, not having a game console at home would have been a drawback, but now it's an era of convenience where you can easily play dating sims anywhere on your smartphone! This is a work where you can just slowly enjoy the content, fully immerse yourself in it, share with your friends, and eventually it will develop into much more which would feel nice. If it's your first time playing, I'd like you to try the main hero Clyde's route. You might get a grasp of his relationship with the other characters. Even though there are really sad scenes, please go for Clyde's route first! After that, go for Kasuya's (Cyril) route! (laugh) Please go for it and have fun!
