Yotsuba Tamaki [Linked Feelings] Rabbit TV

Part 1 + Part 2 + Part 3

Part 1: Tamaki As Veigue

Tamaki: Hey, Iorin.

Iori: What is it, Yotsuba-san.

Tamaki: You read that all the time, aren't you bored of it?

Iori: Boring or interesting doesn't matter right now. First of all, we must study about the Tales' world. You should read the documents they gave you as well.

Tamaki: But it's as thick as a novel.

Iori: This thickness shows how heavy the story is.

Tamaki: What, it's heavy too?

Iori: At first glance from the title alone, it seems like each game would have the same setting, but they actually take place in their own worlds.

Tamaki: Iorin and Sou-chan always pay attention to the settings and the plot right?

Iori: I think it's important, so that we can understand the content properly.......

Tamaki: Ooh.

Iori: Don't give me that "ooh", you should learn about the Rebirth world as well.

Tamaki: I played that game, so I already got it more or less!

Iori: Is that so?

Tamaki: That is so! A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it? Iorin, don't just read the documents, you should play the game!

Iori: You have a point there but, I don't play games that often......

Tamaki: You play whenever Rikkun or Mikkii tell you to though?

Iori: That's because I had no other choice!

Tamaki: Huum. Iori is like Annie from Rebirth, huh?

Iori: Annie?

Tamaki: The smart one.

Iori: Isn't your commentary too sloppy?

Tamaki: And Veigue is someone who takes good care of his sister, and likes peach pie a lot. (1)

Iori: Is that so. That sounds just like Yotsuba-san.

Tamaki: Ooh. And Nagicchi said that we're similar in the same way that we can't put our feelings in our words very well.

Iori: I see. How the characters say their lines or how they feel, if I don't play the game there are so many things I won’t know.

Tamaki: Right? That's why we should play together. Rikkun said that he also wanted to play it in Iorin's room.

Iori: Why do you and Nanase-san insist on playing in my room so often!? My room is not a game center!

Tamaki: Because we can play in peace in Iorin's room~.

Iori: I am not at peace if you two are there.

Tamaki: Rikkun's room is too bright. And it's better to not let Rikkun go in my room.

Iori: So, you realize that your room is dirty.

Tamaki: Well.

Iori: Don't look so proud.

Tamaki: Isn't it fineー. Stop being so stingy, Stingiorin. Let's play games with Rikkun here.

Iori: S, Stingiorin...!?

Tamaki: Lol.

Iori: It's not funny at all!

Tamaki: Iorin, you don’t like playing games with us?

Iori: ... It's not like, I don't like it.... I am just not used to these kind of things......

Tamaki: Do you really have to be used to it?

Iori: I think someone like Yotsuba-san wouldn't understand it.

Tamaki: Huh? Oh well. I'll come here with Rikkun tonight, okay?

Iori: How did it end up like this!?

Tamaki: I'll teach you how fun it is to play games together while eating snacks and drinking soda.

Iori: I have a bad feeling about this......

Tamaki: It’ll be fun!

Part 2: Talking With Riku and Nagi

Tamaki: *yawn*.... I'm so sleepy.........

Nagi: OH, Tamaki. That's one big yawn. You didn’t get enough sleep?

Tamaki: Mm... I stayed up late playing games with Rikkun. Right Rikkun?

Riku: Yeah! We played in Iori's room.

Nagi: WHAT!? Why didn't you call me!?

Riku: We wanted to, but when we passed by Nagi's room, we heard someone crying.... We wondered if something happened to you.... Are you alright?

Nagi: I was crying while watching Kokona. The confrontation scene between the wolf commander and Kokona, it was such a good scene......

Tamaki: You were crying, so we thought it was better to leave you alone at the time.

Nagi: This and that are different!

Riku: Sorry, Nagi! Let's play next time! We played Rebirth and Abyss yesterday.

Nagi: Will you play Symphonia with me?

Riku: Of course! Um, Tamaki is Veigue, Nagi is Zelos, and I'm Luke, right? I want to know more about the characters!

Tamaki: Also, we have to continue Tales of Link too.

Nagi: We're so busy even though it's just a game... I like games though so I'm happy.

Riku: Nagi can play any type of game, right?! You're so good at it, I’m jealous.

Nagi: Are you not that good at it Riku?

Riku: Umm, I want to be good at it.

Tamaki: It's because Rikkun likes to move his body.

Nagi: Aren't you like that too Tamaki...?

Tamaki: I don't move around that much!

Riku: There're dungeons and puzzles in Tales of, right? I'm not good at that kind of stuff, so I asked Iori to do it for me.

Nagi: OH, you can figure out how to solve the puzzles by talking to the NPC’s.

Riku: It's so troublesome so I didn't do that.... Is it that important?

Nagi: It's important to communicate in RPGs! Tamaki, you don't do it either, do you? Even though you are good at collecting items.

Tamaki: I can find all the chests and boxes.

Riku: I feel like we can solve anything with Nagi and Iori's help!

Nagi: Leave it to me. I'm sure I can be more helpful than Iori.

Tamaki: Nagicchi likes to challenge Iorin, huh?

Nagi: Fufu, you're right.

Riku: Are you and Iori rivals or something!?

Nagi: Well... If I had to say it, our relationship is like Zelos and Lloyd’s in Symphonia.

Riku: Eeh? That's too hard to understand, Nagi!

Nagi: You will understand it when you play the game.

Tamaki: Nagicchi, you unexpectedly really like Zelos, huh?

Nagi: Because I can get free items when I talk to the female NPCs if Zelos is the onscreen character.

Tamaki: What the heck......

Nagi: It was just a joke. He likes to fool around, but he always looks forward. I respect that side of him.

Riku: That sounds like Nagi!

Nagi: OH! Do I look like I like to fool around?

Tamaki: You do.

Nagi: Even Tamaki says that to me......

Riku: Reading the documents, playing the games, and hearing everyone talk makes me realize that everyone has similar traits with their own characters!

Nagi: You might be right.

Riku: Luke's circumstance makes me sad though......

Tamaki: Right. Everyone has something they hold dear, and that makes them cross paths with each other.

Riku: Yeah... There's a deep story behind every character in the Tales of series.

Tamaki: Yeah.

Nagi: Veigue begins his journey to search for his sister, doesn't he?

Tamaki: He passes by Claire all the time. I want them to meet already.

Riku: Ahaha, we're talking about him as if we’re talking about our friend!

Nagi: It's mysterious, it feels like we are on a journey when we play the games.

Riku: Hey, let's play tonight too! Together, with Nagi!

Nagi: Yes! Please count me in too!

Tamaki: Let's meet in Iorin's room.

Riku: Won't Iori get mad?

Tamaki: It's fine. He always gets mad, but he's actually happy deep down inside.

Riku: Really?

Tamaki: Yeah. But he'd get mad for real if you spilled pudding on the floor.

Nagi: Anyone would get angry if you do that. I haven't forgotten, you spilled snacks on my manga I lent you and now the cover has spots of oil on it......

Tamaki: On the other hand, Nagicchi would get angry if you do that.

Riku: Wow, I learned a lot, Tamaki!

Part 3: PV Shoot Behind The Scenes ~Tamaki’s Side~

Tamaki: Mikkii, are you going to do the narration after this?

Mitsuki: Yeah! I'm gonna do it after Momo-san.

Yamato: What was it again? "My fists will open the heavens!" was that it? (2)

Mitsuki: Well, you're right, but you definitely made fun of me just now, right.

Yamato: I didn’t, I didn’t.

Mitsuki: Should I cut through your forehead with these fists? (3)

Iori: Nii-san, please calm down. Nikaido-san is trying to deal with his nervousness.

Nagi: OH, Iori just defended Yamato...!

Sougo: It's such a historical moment, isn’t it?

Yamato: Oi, oi, you two over there. You're casually being very rude there.

Iori: Well, if Nikaido-san didn't do that because he's nervous, I'd cut through his forehead instead.

Yamato: That's scary so let's stop, okay?

Tamaki: Sou-chan, don't think about weird things just because you're holding a sword, okay. Don't use it like how you used the potato peeler and screwdriver towards me, okay.

Sougo: Eh? what do you mean?

Tamaki: Waaaaaa! Don't point it at me!

Sougo: Ahh, sorry Tamaki-kun. I'm just impressed by how elaborate this prop is.

Riku: Hey, Iori. What is this? A neck warmer?

Iori: It's a stomach band! Don't let your stomach get cold!

Nagi: Iori, how about this?

Iori: It's your headband, it’s part of your costume!

Sougo: Nagi-kun, it's not good to tease Iori-kun.

Riku: Why am I wearing a belly band?

Iori: It's your costume's fault...!

Riku: Luke’s costume? Eheheh, it's cool, isn't it!

Iori: Don't "eheheh" me! Please use that to keep your stomach warm. Don't blame me if Kujou-san says something to you.

Riku: Tenn-nii...? ... I think I should wear the belly band after all.... It’s still not my turn....

Iori: You're honest if I bring Kujou-san's name into the conversation, huh?......

Tamaki: Iorin, let's do our best.

Yamato: If Mitsu wore that, he'd look like he'd just be wearing a T-shirt.

Mitsuki: Old man, you really want me to hit you...?

Sougo: TRIGGER and Re:vale are splendid as usual. Anything fits them well.

Tamaki: We’ve only talked about the costumes. Is the filming not done yet?

Sougo: It seems like the preparations take a long time. To show the Tales world well, preparing the settings is hard.

Tamaki: Ahh. I want to play with the magical sword soon.

Riku: That’s not good, Tamaki. You have to act like Veigue today!

Tamaki: Ooh, you've got a point.... I mean, you’re right. (4)

Iori: Veigue is a cool and quiet character, if I remember right.

Tamaki: Yea.

Nagi: You don’t sound like him, Tamaki...

Tamaki: Why!!?

Sougo: Practicing your act as your role is good, but the usual Tamaki-kun is the best Tamaki-kun, right?

Tamaki: What, the heck is that.

Mitsuki: He's blushing, he's blushing.

Yamato: MEZZO" are two super-duper-ultra good friends, after all~?

Tamaki: Don't make fun of me! Jude and Alvin are like that too, right.

Mitsuki: Nah, nah, nah.

Yamato: We always exchange blows, okay.

Riku: The only characters in the same series here are Yamato-san and Mitsuki! I'm a bit jealous now!

Iori: Nanase-san is with Yuki-san, right? Both of your characters are from Abyss.

Riku: Yeah! Will Yuki-san let me take photos with him...? And, Tenn-nii too....

Sougo: Let's ask them, Riku-kun...!

Riku: Yes...!

Iori: Don't get too worked up, please.

Nagi: For me, I'm from the same series as Tsunashi-shi.

Yamato: Nagi, you should take photos with Tsunashi-san too.

Nagi: I will have to pass.

Yamato: Why?

Nagi: I'm afraid his muscles are contagious.

Mitsuki: Don't say it like that!

Tamaki: Muscles can spread? I wonder if I should get close to Ryuu-aniki. I want to see his handcuffs too.

Sougo: There's no way it can, Tamaki-kun......

T/N

thanks for always Sophia @ousama-pudding for proofreading!

(1) Veigue was adopted by Claire's family when he was young when his parents disappeared, and it's a really heated debated about if they are in love with each other or just siblings so we purposely left it as 'sister' bc that's what their actual relationship is but we didn't want to cause any trouble between people who shipped them and people who didn't like that ship

(2) Jude has a similar quote in Xillia 1 but Sophia couldn't find the exact quote. He had a similar version to this quote in Xillia 2 when he activates his mystic arte

(3) Yamato is dressed as Alvin from Xillia and Alvin has his bangs swept back so his forehead is showing XD

(4) Tamaki is trying to act like Veigue who’s cool and quiet so he deepened his voice and shortened his sentences. He usually says 'Usu' (meaning yes) but here he says 'Aa' bc it's cooler and manly

in case anyone is wondering I changed my url and gonna upload Iori and Tamaki's photobook interviews after this~

Thanks for reading!
