Some of the character profiles. The official translation are pretty close to the Japanese for most of them so they were pretty easy.

p.101

Character Profiles

Page Navigation On the top is the character's name and profile. Meeting Place refers to which reports the characters will appear in game. Additionally, places marked with an X means the character will only appear at that place if you make a mistake there.

p.102

Main Characters It's a whole lineup of reporters with shining personalities! Ulala's profile is registered from the start, Pudding's and Jaguar's will register after clearing Report 3, and Blank's will register after clearing Report 4.

NO.000: Ulala Channel 5 reporter, she's been with the station for two years. Born on May 30th and currently 22 years old. Blood type is B. At this point, she's not sure where the path of a reporter will lead her but she dreams of "becoming the best reporter in the whole galaxy!" one day.

Meeting Place -

NO.001: Pudding Channel 42 reporter. Former Idol. 19 years old. Blood type is AB. Her hatred for losing really shows off her two-faced nature. She has an excessive and intense rivalry with Ulala. Backed up by her bodyguards, she appears to interfere with Ulala's reporting. She's been a reporter for four years.

Meeting Place Report 1: Control Tower - Act. 3 Report 3: Morolian Base -Act. 1

NO.002: Jaguar Space Pirate Broadcasting Station reporter. 35 years old. A risk-taking man that will reach the truth by any means. Coming and going like the wind, he reports all over the galaxy through guerrilla-like tactics. His past is a mystery but there's rumors it has something to do with Channel 5…

Meeting Place Report 2: Dining Hall - Act. 3 Report 3: Asteroid Belt Area - Act. 2 | Head Office -Act. 3, Act. 4

NO.003 Blank Channel 5's Chief. He's a man that claims that seeing the ratings go up is life itself and the ultimate pleasure. There's always some sort of dark rumor about him. With his position he's able to freely control the station's broadcasting system. He is an ambitious person whose ambition can never be satisfied.

Meeting Place Report 4

NO.004: Space Michael A Super Star that rocked the galaxy, a Super Dancer that transcended space and time. 500 years ago, he used his Dance Energy to prevent a crisis that would've led to the Earth's destruction; he's really famous. Currently, he is contracted as a reporter for Channel 5.

Meeting Place Report 4: Boardroom ~ Corridor - Act. 2 (first round and subsequent rounds if the rating are above 90%)

[Note: meeting place can be more literally translated as meeting condition. Pudding has an error in her profile and lists she appears in act. 2 of the Control Tower. She actually appears in Act. 3 so I fixed it accordingly.]

p. 116

Boss Characters

NO.073: Coco★Tapioca Dancing Robot Invader No. 1, it appears in at the Launch Pad in Report 1. It has a huge “purplink” body. The ring beams it creates from its antennas and the line-dancing robots (officially named Yellow Submorons) stored inside its body are something fierce.

Meeting Place Report 1: Launch Pad

NO.074: Morolina~ ♥ The Slightly-Perverted Dancing Robot” sent by the Morolians to attack the Luxury Spacecraft G. It attack-tack-tacks Ulala with its tongue and tentacles! Because it’s holding space primary schoolers hostage, you must attack very carefully.

Meeting Place Report 2: Observation Platform

NO.075: Morolin! Monroe! The Strongest Dancing Robot our heroine faces, these twins appear inside the Secret Base in Report 3. It emerges from the TV monitor and attacks while transforming again and again in three stages. This robot may be too tough to fight against by yourself.

Meeting Place Report 3: Head Office

[Translator’s notes: they use the word “mecha” rather than “robot” but robot rolls off the tongue a bit more and is what official translation call them. Purplink is portmanteau of purple-pink.]

p. 117

NO.076: Evila The Perfect Reporter Robot created from studying Ulala's abilities. It reports solely for the sake of increasing the ratings. It commands the Channel 5 Security Robots and challenges Ulala. It's quite the powerful foe.

Meeting Place Report 4: Main Antenna

NO.077: Giant Evila A gigantic robot pet controlled by Channel 5’s Chief, Blank. The space relay ship the Astrobeat is kept hostage, with the director trapped within. Attacks won’t be effectively unless you input the opposite of what it says and then press the A button.

Meeting Place Report 4: Main Antenna

NO.078: Blank TV A robot that broadcasts a brainwashing signal, controlled by Chief Blank. The innards of Giant Evila and Blank’s true self (?). This robot can broadcast its brainwashing signal to all corners of the galaxy using Channel 5’s system.

Meeting Place Report 4

[Translator’s notes: The question mark in Blank TV’s profile is part of the original text.]

[big-d-cat]

I don’t see any art of the robots except for Evila, so....

[transmorolians]

a few days ago i was shown the "oh yeah" pop team epic bit and all i could think of was morolian monroe

[transmorolians]

Morolians:

Cred / Remoro

Yaroo / Yemoro

Gromb / Gurimoro

Blib / Burumoro

Plurp / Puumoro

Proonk / Piimoro

Hoorg / Boss Moro

Brack / Taiko Man / Leader Moro

Clork / Leader Moro

Morolian Eight

Morolian Cameraman

Othermoro / Betsumoro

Morolian Robots(?):

Coco★Tapioca

Yellow Submorolian

Dirty Dance Bot: Morolina / Morori〜ina♥︎

"Minions"

The Funkiest Dancebot: Morolian Monroe / Mororin! Monrō!

Evila (It feels weird to put her on this list, but despite being Ulala's android doppelgänger Evila is partially a Morolian creation, no matter what her primary design inspiration may be.)

Other★Tapioca / Bestu★Tapioka

There are also two obscure Morolians: a few shaped like Hoorg but with the Morolian Leaders' colouring (from Samba De Amigo Wii's SCH5 stage), and a commonly-shaped Morolian with Hoorg's colouring (from Sega Superstars PS2).

If I recall correctly there are also Jagā-Moros? Diversity Win!

I know the names of all of the Morolians.

Space Channel 5 Gyun Gyun Book p. 84-87 (Translations by @lavoszero and myself. Edit by myself.)

Guide pages for Report 3.

Imgur link to all of the Gyun Gyun Book translations we’ve done thus far.

Plain text below.

p. 84

Asteroid Belt Abandoned spaceships were discovered floating within the Asteroid Belt! It's a bit nerve-wracking, but we just gotta keep shooting! Anyways, the A button is used a lot here, so make sure to press that button quickly and accurately!

Act. 1 Shooting Rival reporters, like Tachibana and 88man, also appear among the meteorites. Use that A button to destroy those rocks and keep them from stealing the scoop! During the 6th set, there are two points where you need to press “A” within two beats. Make sure not to overshoot it in the heat of the moment.

Help Us! No.30: Reporter (Tachibana) >P. 105 No.31: Reporter (88Man) >P. 105

Act. 2 Shooting There’s a variety of commands in the first three sets which can make following the rhythm pretty difficult. At the 4th set it switches to a short, simple rhythm, which can really throw you off. So don’t trip over the beat when you get to this part! If you're too into the first part’s groove, you might put in too many inputs and fail.

Help Us! No.16: Space Pirate (Male) >P. 105 No.17: Space Pirate (Female) >P. 105

p. 85

Base Passage 1 The psychedelic colors and odd protrusions stretching from side to side were put in the base to stop invading intruders. The setting coupled with the unusual setup to these sets can really trip you out and up here!

Act. 1 Dance Beware of the 3rd and 4th sets! There isn’t a single pause between the inputs on 3rd and 4th beat, so you have to input “→↓↓” in quick succession. Actually, scratch that beware part. You get more hearts here than there are sets. Even if you mess up completely, you’ll always rescue Pudding, so take it nice and easy.

Help me! No.01: Pudding >P. 102=

Act 2. Shooting

You gotta shoot downward for some inputs here, a rare treat in this game. These little whac-a-mole (molero?) creatures will pop out of their holes for their commands. But once it’s Ulala’s turn, they’ll go back to hiding. Basically, you better commit their sounds to memory when they first appear on screen because they won’t physically show up again until it’s time to attack!

[Translator’s notes: They really call them whac-a-moles, and just whac-a-moles. Really missed opportunity on their part to make a pun]

p. 86

Head Office Morolin! Monroe! From out the huge TV jumps out twin robots, Morolin! Monroe! It’s a difficult fight with a complicated rhythm and with commands great in number and quick in succession. Another highlight is teaming up with Jaguar to defeat them!

Dancing Robot Invader No. 3 Morolin! Monroe!

Height: 0~18 Morometers (Morolin!)/ 0~18.5 Morometers (Monroe!) Weight: 0~90 Morograms (Morolin!)  / 0~95 Morograms (Monroe!) Special: Ghost beam, monitor bullet

Has three different forms. It has a variety of attack patterns; when divided into two, it attacks with monitor images, so called “monitor bullets,” for instance.

p. 87

Act. 1 On 5th set of Act.1, waiting for Ulala to finish speaking tends to delay all your other inputs. Just ignore her and press the buttons at your own pace.

Act. 2 On Act. 2, the twins will stretch in the direction of the inputs. During Ulala’s turn, they’ll shrink in the same direction they extended, so it’s still easy to follow the line. You still gotta be careful with timing those "chus" though.

Act. 3 and Act. 4 For Act. 3 and 4, keep a close eye on the order the monitors come out in and their pictures (they’re your cue for using the A or B button). For monitors lined up together, shoot starting from the top left. Don’t get distracted by the twins moving, just focus on the monitors!

Base Passage 2

Act. 1 The gameplay here really sets the mood for a frantic escape; the music's tempo speeds up and the sets suddenly get super short and quick starting at the 5th one. Sets 5-12 only last two beats, make just one mistake and you may never get back into the groove. Don’t miss rescuing the Leader Moro that got caught up in the blast!

Help me! No.63: Drummer Man >P. 113

[transmorolians]

one of my pet peeves about sch5vr is that sch5vr uses tracks from the previous games so much that the sch5vr soundtrack has... a total of only five new tracks.

and these new tracks don't even sound the same as the tracks from the previous games that are used so carelessly!!!

sch5vr's tracks still have a jazzy feel, mostly, but they're electronic and edm-like. and they don't really mesh well with the old acoustic tracks because sch5vr's music sounds purely electronic. like, sch5p1 and p2's music does have electronic bits, but i can only think of two tracks that are purely electronic—"morolian monroe: rapid geminis in the monitor" and "the approaching calm"...i think the electronic bits are used to hammer in the alienness, or in purge's case reinforce his control over the declining situation,

but neither of those things apply to sch5vr at all. "chorus in white" is remarkably less electronic, but "space pirate broadcasting channel" is very electronic, even when they're just confronting just the space pirates (who in the grand scheme of things aren't threatening at all). "final reporter" is electronic...until it ends, of course, and cuts to the original mexican flyer of all things, grrrrr!!!!!!!

also

@spbsjkbss tumblr user spacepiratebroadcastingstationjaguarkellbellosoonsoon i've been complaining about this for years!!! and you're right!!!!!! it is absolutely sickening!!!!!!!!!! the first sch5 game in over 15 years and they mess up the final boss music 😔

the fact that final reporter cuts to the original mexican flyer with no transition at all makes me So Mad. like edm connected hearts to comparatively-low-quality acoustic big band mexican flyer is so jarring they don't even pause between it like. what is the bpm of connected hearts (or at least that section in final reporter) because i bet the bpm don't even match up either!!!!!!!!!!!

[transmorolians]

my favourite morolian dance robot boss in sch5 is molorian monroe. the rapid geminice. in the monitor,,,,

i heard space channel 5 monroe and all i can cold is cold hear it
