Leona’s Backstory

Leona was born with a rock in his heart, a heavy burden stemming not from birth defects or physical limitations, but from the simple fact that he was not the firstborn. Born second, he was destined for the role of the shadow, eternally eclipsed by his brother, Farena, the First Prince. 

The whispers of the palace servants followed him like a shroud: "The First Prince Farena is so cheerful...," they would sigh, "It's a pity his younger brother Prince Leona is so difficult..."

Leona wasn't difficult; he simply couldn't understand the world's obsession with firsts. Why was it that Farena, a prince who spent his days napping and lazing about, was showered with love and adoration while Leona, who toiled endlessly at his studies and honed his magic, was met with indifference?

The servants would continue, "And he uses magic that turns everything he touches into sand... How frightening!"

Leona would hear these whispers, and his heart would clench. He knew his magic was powerful, perhaps even more potent than Farena's, but his control over it was still fragile, prone to bursts of uncontrolled energy that manifested as sand. He hated the fear in their words, the judgment that clung to him like a shadow.

"If I were the First Prince," he would mutter to himself, "I'm sure they would say things like, 'The First Prince Leona is so prudent and can use such strong magic. He's completely different from his carefree younger brother.'"

But the reality was stark. He was the Second Prince, and the whispers followed him: "Everything the second prince does is sloppy, and the First Prince is left to clean up after him."

The chasm between them widened with each passing day. Leona witnessed the adoration Farena received during his formal introduction to the kingdom, a ceremony of pomp and celebration. He wasn't even invited. He watched from the shadows, his heart a burning ember.

"Leona, why did you skip the ceremony?" Farena asked, his voice laced with concern.

"Ceremony?" Leona retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, the doting parent party you hosted so you could show your son off? How rude of me. I ended up going back to sleep."

"Today's an important day for our people to see their future king," Farena said, his tone turning serious.

"It's a day to celebrate indeed," Leona sneered, his voice heavy with bitterness. "It's the day that their loathed second prince lost his right to the throne."

"Stop talking like that!" Farena snapped.

"People who were born first sure are special, huh?" Leona continued, his voice rising. "You can become king even though all you do is lie around and sleep all day."

"Leona... Even though you can't become king, you are very smart," Farena said, trying to soothe his brother's wounded pride. "There are so many things you can still do for this kingdom."

"I would have done what I could if this kingdom really needed someone smart," Leona said, his voice hollow.

"Leona, stop right there!" Farena protested, his voice rising. "Leona!"

The rock in Leona's heart grew heavier. He couldn't understand why he was born second, why he was destined to live in Farena's shadow. He had strived to be better, to perfect his magic, to prove his worth, but no matter what he did, his efforts seemed futile.

"Why did I have to go through all of that just because I was born a few years younger?" he cried out, his voice echoing in the empty corridors of the palace. "No matter how hard I studied, no matter how much I perfected my magic... From the day I was born until the day I die, my brother will always be looked up to, and I can never be king. Why was I born second? Why can I never become number one...? Why? Why? Why?!"

His voice cracked, his heart shattered. He slumped to the floor, tears streaming down his face.

"Life is unfair," he whispered, his voice lost in the vast emptiness of the palace, a testament to the unspoken pain of a second-born son, a shadow forever condemned to walk in the light of his brother.

BAD MEDICINE ~Infectious teachers~ [PC GAME] Kashu Remu (Chemistry) Route Translations (Part 13)

MC’s name is retained as the original MC name Kawana Hina.

* Words within ‘   ‘ are spoken in English – *Spoiler free : Translations under cut!

Prologue / Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 / Part 8 / Part 9 / Part 10 / Part 11 / Part 12 / Part 13

Hina: (I’ve not spoken to him since then…)

Hina: (But…)

———————————————

Kashu: Hey, hey~? Are you still mad?

Hina: …

Kashu: Hey~ Hey, I said~

Hina: …

Kashu: Why won’t you talk to me? Hey! Heeeey! HEY!!!

Hina: …

Kashu: Oh? Why did you look away from me? What’s that supposed to mean?

Kashu: Is it the same reason why you’re not answering me? Hey, answer me!

Kashu: You do know that it’s against the school rules to ignore a teacher when they’re asking you a question, right~?

Hina: (He really hasn’t the slightest inkling that I’m actually mad at him!)

⊳Choice: Sigh

Kashu: Oh, she speaks. Hina: (Ah, I slipped. Aegh, damnnit.) Kashu: Hey, heyy~ Why did you do that? Did something happen? What's that supposed to mean?

⊳Choice: Remain silent

Kashu: Hmm? What? Cat got your tongue? Hina: No… Kashu: Well, looks like it's working just fine~ So, what was that all about? Hina: It's none of your business!

Hina: *Sigh*…

Kashu: Oh, that was a big sigh! Your happiness is going to fly away if you’re giving such a big sigh. Come on, suck it back. Breathe it back in so you don’t lose it!

Hina: (And who do you think is the cause of that sigh…?)

———————————————

Kuzuha: Haha, what do we have here? Looks like a cat clinging to its owner, don't you say?

Hina: Oh… Kuzuha-sensei.

Kashu: Huh? Kakeru-kun~ Wait, no. Kuzuha-sensei.

Kashu: Ahhh, this is so troublesome. Kakeru-kun it is. There's no one else here but her anyway.

Kazuha: No way. You're a teacher, at least act the part.

Kashu: Okay~ So what's up? Need me for something?

Kuzuha: Not you. Her.

Hina: Huh? Me?

Kuzuha: Yeah. Though, it looks like you’ve successfully become his favorite.

Hina: Did I really…?

Kuzuha: Well, you ARE his favorite experiment subject.

Hina: …

Hina: Does it look that way?

Kuzuha: That’s what it looks like to me.

Hina: I see…

———————————————

Kashu: Ohh~ There goes the bell.

Hina: Wha-!? Uh oh, I need to get back to the classroom!

Kuzuha: Sure.

Kashu: See you later~

Hina: Please excuse me!

Hina: (See you later? Does he still plan on hanging around me…?)

———————————————

Hina: Phew… Thankfully, I managed to get quite far without coming under Kashu-sensei’s radar.

Hina: (Although, I do feel like I’ve put in more effort than it’s worth to remain unnoticed…)

Kuzuha: Sup.

Hina: Kuzuha-sensei…? Oh, hello- Wait, no. I mean, bye!

Kuzuha: Be careful on your way home— not.

Hina: Huh?

Kuzuha: Say, aren’t you giving Kashu-sensei the cold shoulder? You’ve never done that before, so I’m here to ask if something happened between you two.

Hina: Well…

Hina: Say, Kazuha-sensei. Could I get some advice from you?

Kuzuha: Hm? What, so something really did happen between you two? Sure, spill.

Hina: Actually…

———————————————

Hina: —And that’s the gist of it.

Kuzuha: Ah… what a turn of events. It sounds almost as if it’s something right out of a fairytale.

Hina: Um, Kuzuha-sensei…? Are you saying that…

Kuzuha: Well, you’re talking about Kashu-sensei here… and there’s frankly not much I can do about him.

Hina: Right…

Kuzuha: However…

Hina: What?

Kuzuha: He doesn’t care much for others. In fact, he isn’t even interested in people.

Hina: …I see.

Hina: (I’m painfully aware of that. He’s only ever interested in the data he collects.)

Hina: (That being said, he has absolutely no interest in the individuals who provide him with said data either. Which would explain what happened the other day…)

Kuzuha: Usually, someone like you, whom he has already gotten all the data he needs from, would no longer be of interest to him.

Hina: …Huh?

Kuzuha: Yet he’s still obsessed with you. Now, don’t you think it’s odd of him to do so?

Kuzuha: Why’s he so desperate if he’s that uninterested in you? When he’s not supposed to care?

Hina: He’s desperate…?

Kuzuha: He seeks to know why you’re ignoring him.

Hina: Isn’t that because he finds it odd that the subject of his experiments, who should be following his every word, has refused to play along with his tune?

Hina: (Ugh, saying this out loud feels like a stab to my own heart. It’s making me feel even more depressed now…)

Kuzuha: Did you know that experimental subjects are easily replaceable for someone like him?

Kuzuha: So, I don’t think that’s what he’s all hung up about.

Hina: Is that so…

Kuzuha: I can’t quite figure out why, but I’m certain that he likes you a lot.

Kuzuha: But, well, he's not exactly the most self-aware when it comes to understanding things of that nature. In fact, I'm sure the thought has never once crossed his mind.

Kuzuha: If you don't understand it yourself, then chances are that he doesn't either.

Kuzuha: So there's really not much advice I can give you. Good luck, though.

Hina: Thanks… I'll try my best.

———————————————

Hina: …Kashu-sensei has no idea that I'm mad at him, nor does he know how much he'd hurt me.

Hina: But, he's interested in me despite not being aware of it himself… And if what Kuzuha-sensei said is true, then that's an extremely rare occurrence for someone like him.

Hina: (I don't really understand it myself either, but…)

Hina: …Why's it that I'm getting all concerned about him now that I have this information…

Hina: (It's odd, really. I'm mad at him, and I should be saddened about this entire situation.)

———————————————

Kashu: Hehe… hehehehehe…!

Kashu: Oh dear~

Kashu: How naughty~ You've gone and done something you shouldn't have again, didn't you?

———————————————

Hina: Huh…? W-What’s this? Wait, but why?

⊳Choice: I won’t run anymore.

Kashu: Oh? What's with that look on your face? What's this supposed to mean? Hey, why are you reacting like this!? Kashu: Fufu, I knew it. Hina: Um… Can't you remove the handcuffs at least? Kashu: Nope. Of course not. This is a punishment after all. It is, isn't it, Sacrifice-chan ♪

⊳Choice: Why am I handcuffed!?

Kashu: Well, that's because you did something bad, didn't you? Kashu: And bad girls have to be punished. Right? Sacrifice-chan ♪

Hina: W-Wait a minute! I haven’t done anything wrong!

Kashu: Huuh~ Did you already forget about what you did? Aww, but that’s fine ♪

Hina: What!?

Kashu: That doesn't matter~ Because the only thing of importance here right now is that you're going to be punished by me, Sacrifice-chan ♪

Kashu: Say, what does it feel like to be linked to me through handcuffs? What are your thoughts on it? Doesn't it feel nice?

Kashu: I quite like it~ But we're only linked by one hand.   Kashu: I'm sure it's a whole new experience to have both hands handcuffed.

Kashu: Hehe, it's a nice sight to behold, don't you think? Now, where should I inflict the first cut?

Hina: C-Cut!? 

Kashu: Of course~ Look, I've even prepared a special knife just for that!

Kashu: Hmm, maybe I should start with the leg? So that you can't run away, of course ♪

Hina: No… Get away! Stop!!! 

Kashu: Ahahahaha~ Stop? No can't do~ 

Kashu: After all, I'm having so much fun!

———————————————

Hina: It was all just a dream…?

Hina: (I'm not handcuffed, and my legs are perfectly intact. Plus, I'm in my room…)

Hina: A dream… That was a nightmare, alright.   Hina: (Ew… I'm all drenched in sweat thanks to that. Guess I'll drink some water and get out of bed since it's already morning.)

Hina: *Sigh* Talk about starting the day on the wrong foot…

Mother: Huh? Wait-

Hina: Morning, mom. What, did something happen? 

Mother: I think not! You're going right back into your room and under your covers!

Hina: Huh? Wait, but why?

Mother: You're running a fever. See? I knew it! Your forehead feels hot to the touch!

Hina: Ehh?

Mother: I'll call the school to inform them that you'll be absent today, so go back to bed, understand?

Hina: …Okaaay…

———————————————

After that…

I was stuck in bed nursing a high fever for a few days. 

I thought that I could sleep it off, but it didn't seem to do the trick. I felt like I'd been in bed for an entire week at least. 

———————————————

Hina: Ugh… Again…? Not that nightmare again…

Hina: I'm already fatigued by the fever but this nightmare's just adding on to the exhaustion I'm feeling…

Hina: (But why do I keep dreaming of him? And they aren't nice dreams of him either…)

Hina: I wonder what he's up to now…

Hina: (Wait, what am I doing thinking about him now! I'm still supposed to be mad at him!)

Hina: (I should be…)

sweet dream - THE MADNA (English Lyrics Translation 英訳)

Lyrics: Ryota; Music: THE MADNA

cry in the moonlight

Inside a birdcage

In a trance, the dreamlike sky

In the seasons smoothly sliding by

To an uncertain tomorrow

Blindly surrender

When the moonlit night gently closes our eyes, the rising sun will surely tear us apart

Illuminated by the moonlight, the two of us

Locked in a kiss, melt together in the night

Wishing for the night to never dawn again

For the end of the world right here and now

Ephemeral dreams

If it has a shape, someday it’ll break down

It’s a countdown to the final round

Holding tight onto the fast pass for the gate leading beyond 0

Even if everything in the world ahead turns to nothing and disappears

At least remember it in your memories and dreams, baby

Smile, honey

Right until the very last second of the reality we’re experiencing now

Let me feel it so much that it hurts

Let me feel your heartbeat

Feel your realness

Swaying, swaying

These words with nowhere to go

Somewhere in a corner of the world their flowers will bloom

When the moonlit night gently closes our eyes, the rising sun will surely tear us apart

「Hey, will you let me ask you something?

Will you let me breathe inside of your heart?

Take me with you to the future」

Illuminated by the moonlight, the two of us

Locked in a kiss, melt together in the night

Wishing for the night to never dawn again

For the end of the world right here and now

Notes, Japanese, Romaji & Spotify Track:

Notes:

A fictional story of two people fighting against 'the fear of being torn apart'.

夢現: Yumeutsutsu is the state of being half asleep and half awake, being between dream and reality 泡沫: Utakata means things like ephemeral, transient or fleeting. It can also translate as “the bubbles floating on the surface of water or liquids.” Bubbles vanish quickly and used as a metaphor, it gives the imagery of something being as fleeting or momentary as a bubble. If something is ephemeral it means that it doesn’t last long- that it only lasts for a short time or has a short life. So perhaps we can tie the lyrics to the beauty of the fleetingness of life and the importance of cherishing things which only last a brief moment. Life is fleeting, moments are fleeting - it’s inevitable that eventually everything must come to an end or disappear at some point in time. So we should embrace and appreciate those moments and things whilst we have the chance. We should live fully in the present moment. I highly encourage you to read up on 「物の哀れ」(もののあわれ ”mono no aware” ). Originating from classical Heian period literature, “mono no aware” refers to our awareness of the impermanence or ephemeral nature of all things. It is the deeply felt, powerful emotions which stir within us upon this bittersweet realization. A melancholic appreciation of the beauty in the transience of the existence of things and the gentle sadness it invokes as we connect it to the reality of life. The transient moments in life, youth, romance, nature and the changing of the seasons are all examples of mono no aware. Common imagery is birds, the moon, flowers - especially the cherry blossoms in spring. Motoori Norinaga, a scholar during the Japanese Edo Period (1730-1801), believed that ‘to know mono no aware is to discern the power and essence, not just of the moon and the cherry blossoms, but of every single thing existing in this world, and to be stirred by each of them’. So for me personally, the usage of 「夢、泡沫」 in the lyrics brings about this beautiful dreamlike imagery of the impermanence of dreams and those dreams vanishing. Dreams only last for a fleeting moment, for when you wake up you stop dreaming. It’s inevitable that the sun will rise each morning and in turn those dreams are torn apart by the daylight.

はなむけ / Hanamuke / A Parting Gift

This isn't exactly a Super Beaver song, but it was composed by Yangi, and I wanted to translate this song (huhu this is currently my LSS), so I'm putting it here HAHA

会いたい気持ち　会えない苦しみ

何気ない優しさ　突然の理不尽

僕らは知って踏まえた今でしょう

どこかで暮らす あなたを想う

嬉しい夜も　寂しい朝も

間違えたことも許されて泣いた日も

僕らは知って踏まえた今でしょう

すぐ側にいる あなたを想う

言葉は思いを運ぶ船のよう

波と風の中を進む

届けたいものは　笑顔になりそうなもの

ただあなたの前途を祝して

おはよう

いってらっしゃい

またね またね

好きなことを好きでいてね

嫌でもどうしても嫌なことだってある世界で

あなたは何を選んでいくだろう

変わることの魅力と戸惑い

変わらざるを得ないもどかしさ

僕らは悩んでづいていくでしょう

今でもある大切を想う

言葉は強くて　時に無力で

悔やむこともあるけど進むよ

届けたいものが　より確かになっていく

ただあなたの歓び願うよ

おはよう

いってらっしゃい

またね　またね

好きな人を好きでいてね

嫌でもどうしても嫌な人とだって会う世界で

来るものに抗えたかったり

おかしくない

無闇に人を傷つけ悲しませること以外は全部

おかしくない

”おはよう”　ってさ　当然じゃないね

--

The pain of wanting to see someone but not being able to see them

A kindness that unexpectedly pops up in the midst of all the absurdities

By now, we probably know and learned (a lot) from these

I think of you living out there, somewhere

The happy nights, the lonely mornings

The mistakes we've made, the days we've allowed yourself to cry

By now, we probably know and learned (a lot) from these

I think of you (and how) soon I'll be beside you

Words carry one's thoughts, like a boat

That moves through the waves and wind

I want to give you these things, which seems to make you smile

So that I can cheer you on your journey ahead

Good morning

Have a great day

See you later, see you again

Just like the things you like

In a world where there exists things that no matter what you do, you dislike them

I wonder, what will you choose?

There's a fascination and confusion borne out of things changing

As well as a frustration in being forced to change

There'll probably come a time we'll become troubled

Even if it comes now, (just) think of what's important

In times when one feels powerless, these words are strong enough

Even when there are things we regret, it'll move us forward

I have become more certain of the things I want you to have

I just wish for your happiness

Good morning

Have a great day

See you later, see you again

Just love who you want to love

In a world where there exist people that no matter what you do, you just dislike them

I wonder, who will you (choose to) love?

We're different from others, because each person is different

Wanting to chase after those who've left

Resisting against the things that are about to come

These things are not strange

Except making someone sad by thoughtlessly hurting them

Everything else, though, isn't strange at all

Just saying "good morning" seems unnatural

I want to add "see you later" and "take care of yourself" when I say "(may you) have a great day"

I want to give you something that will (surely) make you smile

Anyway, I think of you today, too

Good morning

Have a great day

See you later, see you again

(Just) like the things you want to like

In a world where there exists things that no matter what you do, you dislike them

I wonder, what will you choose?

Good morning

Have a great day

See you later, see you again

Because it's ok to like the things you like

Good morning

Have a great day

See you later

Do your best

(These are things) I want to tell you

So that I can cheer you on your journey ahead

Q. What is something you absolutely do not want to let go of?

Iwamoto: Things who have fought beside me. Like the shoes I wore for “SASUKE”, or the chalk I used for climbing. It might be ordinary things for other people but it’s something I can’t throw away because of the experiences that only I and a few people know. I have a lot of tabi socks that I now don’t know which socks I used at which time (laughs).

Fukazawa: I thought about saying something good, but I won’t say it (laughs). It’s my trading cards. I display it on a showcase-like shelf, and I feel healed when I look at it from time to time. I take care of my cards by placing a drying agent so that the cards won’t get damaged by the heat! The number of cards I own is already unknown. I have a lot!

Raul: The people around me. Unlike material things and money, I think the relationship I built with people for a long time is very precious. I have no experience but it’s said that when it disappears, you lose it in an instant. That’s why I always want to interact with the people important to me with a pure heart.

Watanabe: Skincare products. Just when I think I won’t wear more clothes, someone gives me clothes; even though I can dispose of my clothes. I have a lot of toners that I bought thinking I’d use them but ended up not using them.  There is no expiration date written so we don’t know if the ingredients have already deteriorated. There are a lot of times when I can’t throw the toners away because I end up thinking that I might still be able to use them. 

Mukai: This is such a deep question. Un, maybe my original intent? I like the “me” who does all my jobs without thinking “Ah-, this job again”, and feels nervous each time I’m working. I do think it would be better if hands stop shaking though. I want to stay as a “me” who isn’t used to the work, and I think this feeling is something I would need along the way.

Abe: What I immediately thought of is Snow Man. Aside from that, then maybe knowledge? One of my favorite sayings is “Knowledge is an asset that no one can take away”. I’d like to think that it is something of value and something I can use to my advantage. But in reality, there are a lot of things I forget no matter how hard I study (laughs).

Meguro: My time for myself. No matter how busy I am, I don’t like it when I just sleep once I get home and the next day comes in an instant. Even if I have to take some of my sleeping time, I want time to turn off my switch and do things like play games before I sleep. By doing that, I will be able to feel the passing of each day in a distinguished way and without gaps (versus losing a sense of time).

Miyadate: This is a bit different from “what I don’t want to let go of”, but I want to leave and keep the surname “Miyadate”.  It’s a rare surname that apparently there are only 260 people with it in the whole country, and the only people I’ve met with the same surname are my relatives. It’s something that I will talk about my whole life as Miyadate Ryota, and I think it’s something I will spread to the world from now on.

Sakuma: Snow Man. It would be nice if I could be in Snow Man my whole life. But in a positive way, I want to challenge my seiyuu work without the group’s name. I want to do my seiyuu work properly. That’s why I want people who hear me go “I wonder who this is?” and search for me. This is my ideal way for people to know me.

Opus.COLORs Character’s Q&A with the voice actor’s greetings

I thought it would be nice start new translating project and what would be great way than to introduce new anime characters and their voice actors’ greetings regarding to new anime Opus.COLORs from the Starmyu - staff. 

(might be some grammar mistakes but hopefully you enjoy this new project of mine)

Takise Kyo - Ohsaka Ryota

source: https://twitter.com/opus_colors/

1) Q&A with Takise Kyo

Dark past (something one wants to forget or pretend it never happened)?

When I was a child, I cried because I wanted to keep a cat I picked up and brought home.

2) Takise Kyo - Ohsaka Ryota I’m really looking forward to seeing how the work will turn out, as it deals with works of arts that are drawn in a virtual space, and I’m sure that each character’s personality and emotions will be expressed in the pictures. 

The main focus will be on how the strained relationship between Kazuya and Kyo will change, so I hope you’re looking forward to it.  Favorite color: I like bluish colors.

— Shortly after that… He’s brought me to a place. A forest far out from the city.   It was deserted, of course. A place shaded by the trees… A place where the sun couldn’t really reach.   That was where he brought me to.

———————————————

Hina: Um… Sensei? Where are we going?

Kashu: It’s just up ahead.

Kashu: …

Hina: (What should I do now? Would talking help?)

Hina: Um… It’s getting dark outside.

Kashu: …

Hina: S-Sensei? Can I ask you something?

Kashu: What?

Hina: What are you planning on doing in a place like this…?

Kashu: I wonder?

Hina: Oh, are you going to conduct an experiment, perhaps?

Kashu: Perhaps.

Hina: Erm… Kashu-sensei?

Kashu: …You’re being awfully noisy.

Kashu: If you really want to know, then let me show you!

Hina: Wha-!?

Hina: (Huh…!?)

Kashu: …

Hina: Sensei…?

Kashu: Shut up…

Hina: Let… me…

Kashu: Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

Hina: Pl… ea… se…

Hina: (Is he mad with me? Why? Is that why he’s strangling me?)

Hina: (But if he’s truly that mad, then does he look like he’s about to cry?)

Hina: (…Why? I have so many things I want to ask him, but why is my voice not working?)

Hina: Wh… y…?

Kashu: …

Hina: Wou… ld… you…

Kashu: I would like to know too. Why would I?

Kashu: I don’t know, because I can’t understand it either. I just get so irritated whenever I see you.

Hina: Urk…

Kashu: It never got better. No matter how much time passed. Even if I never saw you. And it only made me angrier.

Kashu: But, seeing you also frustrated me. It felt almost as if my heart was being forced to waver.

Kashu: It hurt, it stung, and it made it hard to breathe.

Kashu: I just had to forget about you, didn’t I? But I couldn’t get my mind off you no matter how hard I tried.

Kashu: I wanted to keep my focus on my experiments, but thoughts about you always got in the way. It’s a real nuisance.

Kashu: This reaction of mine is foreign. It disgusts me. And I cannot keep on living like this.

Kashu: So, in order to treat this affliction of mine… It seems like I’ll simply have to rid this world of your existence.

Hina: …Ngh…

———————————————

Kashu: So, disappear. Please, go away. I’m begging you.

Kashu: I can’t stand suffering like this anymore.

Kashu: It’s much better being alone in this world!

Kashu: Hey, won’t you return me to how I usually am? You’re the one who made me like this. So, tell me. Will I go back to how I was?

Kashu: If I can’t, then tell me. How can I free myself from this frustration I feel?

Kashu: Do I have to delete you from this plane of existence after all? Tell me… TELL ME!

Hina: (…Huh. So that was what was bothering him.)

Hina: (He’s a teacher, yet it’s almost as if he’s still a child. One that’s throwing a tantrum to his parents because he’s unable to express his feelings properly.)

Hina: (But, I guess that checks out. This is the first time he’s starting to have feelings for someone else, so I suppose it’s the same thing to him.)

Hina: …

Kashu: …!?

Hina: (I can no longer speak, but…)

Hina: (There may be something else I can do to put him at ease.)

Hina: (Just a little more��� Move, hand. Work with me a little… A little while… Just enough to embrace him. That's all I ask for.) 

Kashu: Why…?

Hina: Ha… a…

Kashu: Why…? WHY!?

Hina: (Don't cry. You'll get over it eventually.)

Hina: (It's alright even if it hurts. Because… you're not alone.)

Hina: (So don't go saying such sad things like how you're better off alone…)

———————————————

In reality, I'd wanted to convey this to you through words.  But, I couldn’t.　

———————————————

Kashu: …

Kashu: …Heh.

Kashu: …Ahh. Now, I am finally free.

Kashu: I can focus on my experiments, and nothing else, just as I did before.

Kashu: Right? …Right?

———————————————

Kashu: Why… Why do I still…

Kashu: I should have been freed now that you're gone, but why does it still…

Kashu: …Why…?

Kashu: Hey… What should I do about this? Tell me… what should I do…?

Kashu: ANSWER ME!

Kashu: Someone… Anyone…

Kashu: Please…

Kashu: Save me…

CREAM SODA - THE MADNA (English Lyrics Translation 英訳)

Lyrics: Ryota; Music: THE MADNA

Precious feelings don't forget remember

Those teenage days bursting with blue

Precious feelings don't forget remember

That one found freedom

& in these hands spark future

The day it got me

I couldn’t take my eyes off that music show

My mundane, ordinary life was pierced by that rock ‘n’ roll

In the blink of an eye it had completely stolen all my heart

Up inside my head all day & night

All around the clock

Fly Fly Fly

Release & spark future

Full of Excitement Ecstasy

Enjoy your life at will

Free to do whatever you want

Ego in full swing

With crazy unstoppable passion

Just go your own way

With your head held high without a care

Just as you are

Just the way things are

u&me on this small planet Earth

out in this big wide world

Proving what it means to be alive

Hey Ladies

Fall in love with all your heart and soul

You only get one chance to live

So take a shot and go for broke

If you ignite the flames of those youthful initial impulses once more

Call it charisma?

Screaming! Shouting!

Tonight the party never ends

Jump around! Jump around!

And put tomorrow aside for a while

Go get it & spark future

Getting hyped up

Got all dressed up

Popped out for the weekend

The good old streets were packed so full of dreams

Trends and cultures move along with the times

Everything has changed

Everything we can see with our eyes

But I’ll always hold this special feeling deep inside

Just like before

Unchanged in my heart for the rest of my life

Once again I wanna feel that time

I wanna feel those days one more time

Rubber soles, bondage pants with studded belts, tartan checks

Lolita, decora and gothic, cyber, punk

You say it’s not in fashion now?

That it’s outdated? Behind the times?

Well I wanna be someone who’s not afraid to say

That I like what I like

Precious feelings don't forget remember

Those teenage days bursting with blue

Precious feelings don't forget remember

That one found freedom

Seize it & spark future

Full of Excitement Ecstasy

Enjoy your life at will

Free to do whatever you want

Ego in full swing

With crazy unstoppable passion

Just go your own way

With your head held high without a care

Just as you are

Just the way things are

u&me on this small planet Earth

out in this big wide world

Proving what it means to be alive yeah

Notes, Japanese, Romaji & Spotify Track:

Notes:

CREAM SODA: as mentioned in various interviews, this is a song which is all about nostalgia, old school Harajuku culture and embracing the things that are special to us. Takashi wrote the music filling the song with the kind of music which saved his life back in the days. In addition, not only was CREAM SODA a Harajuku fashion brand representative of 80s rock culture, but Ryota also talks about how even as an adult, the drink cream soda is seen as something special or like a dream drink. He mentions how if you go to a café, you sometimes find yourself hesitating and wondering if it's actually okay to order it or not. This got him thinking about how it's nice that certain things can remain special to us no matter how much time goes by. So when he asked himself what was special to him, Harajuku came to mind. Although the culture has changed and it's become a place he can pretty much go to whenever he wants without a second thought, he really loved the atmosphere of those days.

Ryota coined the term “spark future” ⚡️

青くハジけたteenage days: The color blue and the kanji 青 (blue) is often associated with youth, adolescence and immaturity. Fresh, bright, young and full of energy and inexperience.

肩で風を切って: it means to walk with an air of self confidence or to walk around with swagger. If you walk 'cutting the wind with your shoulders' then you are moving forward confidently without any hesitation or without anything holding you back. From what I was told it doesn't carry any negative connotations.

幼き初期衝動: I guess perhaps these youthful initial impulses are those intense feelings you get when you are young and inexperienced - the feelings you get when you experience things for the first time. Things like your first love or first concert.

DateMeme's Snow Meeting

ー english translation by chye

What is your impactful episode together?

ー “Probably Takizawa Kabuki”

❤️: I used to go out and eat with Meguro before. Though, it's not just the two of us, I remember Jesse is always there with us.

🖤: Ah. It's true that there's always someone with us but there's also times where it's just the two of us. It's getting busy these days, which I'm grateful for, but we couldn't find a time for that anymore.

❤️: That's right. I wonder when exactly I became friends with you..?

🖤: Right…

❤️: I guess it's really during Takizawa Kabuki. It's something like, “we stand on the same stage and the rest is history” type of thing.

🖤: Really?

❤️: Yes, that's what I think.

ー “I feel like I've been turned down on my own”

❤️: You see, Meguro has a unique way of inviting people.

🖤: Eh?

❤️: Before, Meguro invited me out to eat and I agreed. So we're going out to dinner, right? Then after that, he said that he had plans with a friend and went home early!

🖤: Ah! Yeah, that happened! (huge laugh)

❤️: I feel like I've been dumped on my own!

🖤: HAHAHAHA!

❤️: He was giving me the impression that he was nervous that I might send him home that day, so I was secretly nervous too. When he's already satisfied (with my reaction), he would just go home, just like that.

🖤: HAHAHA!

❤️: For once, I've experienced the feeling of my excitement suddenly dropping down.

🖤: HAHAHAHA! So nostalgic~!

❤️: The fact that I can still remember it even though it happened a long time ago, the image that it brought me must've been really strong.

🖤: Don't tell me Date-san holds grudge about it…!?

❤️: More like “return my feelings from that day!” (laughs)

🖤: Wah~ I'm really sorry! I am a B-type person, and as they say “Please forgive me because I'm a B-type!”

A/N: he's talking about his blood type. it is said that B-type people are usually carefree and would only do the things they like without considering the whole situation they are in.

Q: How was your relationship with each other?

ー “Anyways, we're similar in both being calm.”

❤️: I would say that both Meguro and I are similar in terms of our calmness? Especially with how little we express our excitement.

🖤: That's right. Even when we appear on TV, we appear as someone who calculates everything while doing a lot of things. It's like we're watching from a different angle.

❤️: We're both the “not rushing forward” type.

🖤: And the atmosphere between us never changes even if we're alone or with anyone.

❤️: You see, my impression of Meguro is that he's very clear about many things. Like he's just being fair and square, and it feels good working alongside him with that attitude.

🖤: That makes me happy!

❤️: Of course there are times where he's confused about things, but his final decisions always go in the right direction. I think it's the result of his efforts within himself, but that judgment of him is very wonderful.

🖤: Eh? That really made me happy! But now that you've talked about judgment, there are many times that we need to make a decision as a group, right? In those moments, Date-san would just quietly look over us but would also fight when we needed to fight together. He gives off such unique vibes.

❤️: Really?

🖤: But maybe, the fact that Date-san would give off such vibe is what makes it easy to be in the group.

❤️: Thank you very much! (smiles)

ー “I wish you would fix that attitude that makes you look like you're bored (laughs)”

❤️: But there's just one thing I would like to say about Meguro. He has his own timing, and it gives off ‘I'm bored’ vibes.

🖤: AHAHAHAHA!

❤️: That's something I would like for him to fix. But of course, it's also important to have such “pause” within himself. Maybe it's just the same as what I said earlier about him being clear.

🖤: Do I have something I want Date-san to fix within himself…? No, I can't think of any.

❤️: I'm glad. (laughs)

🖤: (laughs) But it's also amazing how I can't think of any even though we've been together for quite a period of time.

❤️: You're right.

🖤: But like, I'm just wondering. Maybe that's probably because we keep a good distance between us as members.

❤️: Oh, I see.

🖤: But as I thought, our current relationship is the best for us. So, if I were to describe our relationship with each other, the best and most accurate word I could think of is “Co-member”.

Q. If you were to make a combi name, what would it be?

ー “It's easy to understand and remember.”

❤️: Our combi name… what would it be?

🖤: Simply “DateMeme” would suffice right?

❤️: Yes! Since it's easier to understand and remember.

🖤: Right, right. I thought it would be nice to have something easier to remember when someone decided to read this page.

❤️: And that would be, “Date and Meme” (Date to Meme)

🖤: It sounds like a title of a picture book (laughs)

❤️: Haha!

ー “What's hidden and public are both emotional!”

❤️: I heard that there's a talk around that says they want to see a two-shot of us.

🖤: Ah! That's right!

❤️: I've been hearing about it for some time now, and I'm grateful for it. It's a good sign that they express their willingness (to have us interviewed together).

🖤: Right. It's nice to know that we're in demand. I hope that together with Date-san, we can continue to have this kind of relationship with everybody.

❤️: But don't you think that what's hidden and public are both emotional? It's like a phantom you can't seem to reach!

🖤: Right! (laughs) For me, I've always felt like my relationship with Date-san was simply just a senior-junior. But recently, it seems like it disappeared, of course in a good way!

❤️: Oh??

🖤: I am not sure if it's completely gone, but I really feel like it's gradually disappearing. I couldn't put it into words properly, but I felt like I'm finally one of his “co-member”. I felt like we're finally friends.

❤️: I see.

🖤: We've done Takizawa Kabuki and various other jobs as a group, and we've all gone through hardships together. Maybe it's all thanks to that (that I can finally feel this way).

❤️: Originally, I didn't really see Meguro from that senior-junior relationship angle. But still, it's not enough that we're just getting along with each other alright.

🖤: Yeah.

❤️: Besides, we all have the same visions and goals and we're heading in the same direction. As long as we're connected that way, I think we're all good.

🖤: You're right! As I thought, the secret to keeping a group running for a long time is everyone just being all natural.

❤️: Right!

🖤: I don't want to stress myself when I'm in Snow Man as a group. I also don't want other members to feel stressed when they're in the group. In that sense, I think I found a good and safe distance with Date-san.

Random notes on the translation of Kare no Iru Seikatsu / Living with Him ep 1

My working parents who were both often not at home

A circle, huh... Note: Japanese universities have circles and clubs. Clubs are official and authorised by the universities and tend to be stricter about participation and more selective with member selection. Circles tend to be organised by students and usually are not affiliated with or sponsored by the universities. People tend to join these to make friends and have fun. (source)

Note: A lot of Japanese high schools used to have strict rules about dyeing your hair and only recently, has it been relaxed in Tokyo public schools, so you can dye your hair a natural colour. Ironically, some students who don't have naturally dark hair or even straight hair, have been forced to change their hair to fit in. When students go to university, they have more freedom to dress as they like, thus they do things like dye their hair then. (More one, two)

One, two! No more, no more, no more! Note: He's actually means that he's being squashed 😂; "can't, can't, can't!"

Note: The leads don't refer to each other both by first name or surname. Natsukawa is Ryota's surname and Kazuhito (not Kazuto, Gaga...) is his first name.

Note: Koshien is The national high school baseball tournament and is quite hard for school teams to qualify for it. Usually, only 49 teams make it to this tournament, which is why to have been part of a team that made it to Koshien is quite the achievement. (source)

You belonged to the sparkling people group. Note: Basically, he was one of those eye catching, popular kids

Well, that kind of situation won't be happening.

You mean you swap one for the next that often?

That's because I just can't understand/accept that (you keep getting dumped), given your looks, personality and baseball skills that attract attention.

Itadakimasu Note: It means to humbly receive and is used to show thanks for the food to those who have grown and prepared it, but also to the food itself, whereas bon appétit means 'I hope you enjoy your meal'. (source)

I can't see even a millimetre of a reason why you would have gotten dumped.

Hmm, that's right... You might not understand. In your case.

Are you serious? I am grateful/indebted to you.

I didn't do this (sort of thing for them).

When I got dumped, the usual complaint/phrase (I was told) was, "there's someone else whom you like, isn't there?"
