 "An Unexpected Proposal"
*translated using deepl and various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made


Ren: Nayuta-kun...is he okay?! Can he still sing?!

Kenta: There's no need to panic. It's already settled down by now. He also has the doctor's permission to participate in the Fes

Ren: ...I see...I'm glad

Kenta: *he laughs softly* That's just like you

Ren: Because, if Nayuta-kun can't sing anymore then...

Kenta: There's no competition, huh?

Ren: No, I'm just...! ...If Nayuta-kun wasn't able to sing anymore, I'd be very sad

Kenta: ...Well, the live's over now, so I'm going to make him rest for a little while

Kenta: I told him that a short while ago, and he gave me a look of utter disapproval

Ren: ....I understand a little, about how Nayuta-kun feels

Kenta: Hmm?

Ren: A while ago, I was told that I was practicing too much and they forced me to stop singing for a while

Ren: It was only two days but...it felt like a very long time, and I couldn't stop the feeling of wanting to sing

Kenta: Really, no matter where you go all vocalists are the same

Ren: Um...I'm sorry...

Kenta: *he chuckles* ...that's right, Nanahoshi-kin, are you busy tomorrow?

Ren: Tomorrow? I don't think I have any plans in particular...

Kenta: I see, then you came at a good time

Ren: ......?

Kenta: Why don't you take Nayuta out so he can get a change of pace? If I take my eyes off of him, he's going to immediately go back to singing

Ren: ...............eh? Eeeeeh?!

[the screen fades to black and now we're at Argonavis' Sharehouse]

Banri: - And so, have you decided to go out with Nayuta-kun tomorrow?

Ren: Y-Yeah...

Wataru: Sorry, Ren...my brother forced you to

Ren: No. I wanted to talk to Nayuta-kun, so it's fine but-

[screen fades to black]

Rio: You don't know where to go, huh

Ren: I...didn't have any friends, so I don't know about these things...what should I do with Nayuta-kun?

Yuuto: After all it's karaoke, right? I mean, you're both vocalists

Wataru: The purpose of this is to make Asahi rest right? Then there'd be no point if they did that

Banri: What if they went to go get some exercise? Like bowling or the batting cage

Rio: Nanahoshi injured his legs didn't he? Even if it's a minor injury, he should avoid exercise

Wataru: Then, a movie?

Ren: Nayuta-nun might leave halfway through...

Yuuto: This is definitely a difficult problem...

Rio: ...back when I played baseball, I had to take some time off because of an injury

Banri: What did you do at that time?

Rio: I was at home listening to music and playing the piano

Yuuto: So you got absorbed into your hobby

Wataru: But...does Asahi have any interest in anything other than music?

Rio: No matter how much you try to understand the other person, you'll never know

Rio: In that case, there's no other choice than for Nanahoshi to take Asahi to a place where he himself would go to feel better

Ren: A place that makes me feel better...Aah, that's right! It has to be over there!!

Ren: I'm sure Nayuta-kun will be immersed in it...no, it'll be a dream space!![1]

Yuuto: Somehow I'm...getting a little worried

Banri: Me too...


[1](he says "夢宙" here like in "Chou Muchuu Sentai Star Five" so you can Guess where this is going. The full nuance for what this line is though is that Ren says "夢中" the first time. Both are pronounced the same but have different meanings- it's essentially wordplay)

~ The Next Day ~

Ren: Ah, Nayuta-kun, Ryo-san!

Ryo: Hello, Ren-kun. I made sure to properly bring Nayuta here

Nayuta: ......

Ren: Um, thank you both for coming

Ryo: Yeah. After hearing about it, I also wanted to see this live

Nayuta: Hey. Why is Nanahoshi here? ...You're going to see a live in a place like this?

Ren: That's right! It's a hero live show for "Chou Muchuu Sentai Star Five"!!

Nayuta: *he takes a long, deep inhale* ..................hah?

Ryo: It's Ren-kun's favorite place. He invited us here today

Nayuta: ......I'm going home

Ryo: You can't do that. Didn't Kenken say that if you didn't watch it properly, he'd extend your rest period?

Nayuta: Tch, Satozuka......

Ren: Star Five's hero live show is amazing! The stage combat and settings are very exciting, and it looks like they're really fighting...

Ryo: So it's that amazing

Ren: There have been local performances in Hokkaido, but its home venue is in Tokyo!

Ren: That's why I've always wanted to come here to see it...Let's hurry and go into the venue early! I want to go see what they have on sale too!

Nayuta: *he sighs* .........

SFX: Don! [Nayuta bumps into somebody]

Nayuta: Tsk...pay attention to where you're going

???: Hah? Which one of us...huh?

Ryo: Huh? Could you be Epsi's...Haruka-kun?

Haruka: Asahi and Akebono...and even Nanahoshi...why are you guys here?

Ren: We're here for "Star Five"- ...eh!! Wow...!! [he immediately gets closer to Haruka]

Haruka: ...Hah?!

Ren: That bag and badge and keychain...amazing! You even have the secret Star Silver!! I couldn't get this no matter how many times I played with the capsule toy machine!!

Haruka: H-Hey, don't touch it without permission!

Ren: Hey, what other goods do you collect? I have a copy of the limited edition design book!

Haruka: ...Seriously? That's a super rare item that sold out instantly just after the event-

Nayuta: *sighs* this is stupid...

Ren: It's not stupid!
Haruka: It's not stupid! (but more aggressively and less polite)

Haruka: Ah......... (he's surprised he reacted so strongly)

Ren: "Star Five" may look like it's aimed at kids but, it has good world building, solid scientific research, and complex relationships between allies and enemies--

Ryo: Ren-kun, you must really love Star Five. I'm really looking forward to watching it

Nayuta: *sighs* ...it's only for kids

Haruka: ...that's a pretty narrow minded thing for someone who does music to say

Nayuta: .........Aah?

Haruka: Don't judge other people based on your own small and petty values

Nayuta: Don't get cocky with me, brat

Haruka: Hah? Annoying...just because you were born a few years earlier

Ryo: Yes, stop stop. You can't fight. The kids are getting scared you know?

Ryo: And, it's about time for the show to start isn't it? Right, Ren-kun?

Ren: Especially in the last series of the first season, the adults who watched it together cried more than the children- eh...? Ryo-san, what's wrong?

Ryo: ...Yup. Everyone, let's go inside

 "Each of Their Intentions"
*translated using deepl and various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made


~ After the Hero Live Show ~

Ren: *pleased sigh* ...amazing. "Star Five" really is cool...

Haruka: ......... *he also lets out a pleased sigh*

Ryo: That was amazing, Nayuta. Even though they're just earthlings, they can move like that

Nayuta: I wouldn't know. I'm leaving.

Ren: ...um, Nayuta-kun

Nayuta: I don't want to hear about your Star whatever

Ren: Were you able to leave feeling a little better...?

Nayuta: ......Hah? (he's genuinely surprised here, not irritated)

Ren: That...because it must be painful to not be able to sing. I wanted to help you feel a little better...I thought...

Nayuta: Tch, you don't need to worry about me. ...Did Satozuka send you?

Ren: Yeah, Kenta-san asked me to invite you. I also wanted Nayuta-kun to get better too

Ren: ...because I want Nayuta-kun to sing with all his might at the Fes

Nayuta: ...what, are you saying you're looking down on me?

Ren: Eh?

Nayuta: I've said it before...I will absolutely win LRFes.

Nayuta: I'll do whatever it takes to crush the other bands, including Argonavis, and that brat's band

Haruka: .........

Nayuta: I'm aiming for the world. I don't have time for detours. I don't have time to worry about other people

Ren: ......no.

Nayuta: ......Aah?

Ren: There's no winning or losing in music. To destroy someone's dream in order to move forward...it's not right

Nayuta: ...say whatever you want.

Ren: .........

Nayuta: Let's go. It's better to just stay at home. [he walks away]

Ryo: Wait, Nayuta. Ren-kun, thank you for inviting us today.

Ren: I'm sorry. I wasn't able to be of any help to Nayuta-kun.

Ryo: Hmm~ ...I don't think that's the case though?

Ren: Eh...?

Nayuta: ...hey. Which way is the station?

Ryo: I'm coming now. I'll see you, Ren-kun, and Haruka-kun too. I'm looking forward to the Fes [he leaves]

Ren: ......

Haruka: ......Hey

Ren: Huh?

Haruka: If you say there's no such thing as winning or losing...then, why did you come to the Fes?

Ren: That is...

Haruka: There will be wins and losses

Haruka: Winning and showing your strength...if I don't get recognized, then there's no meaning

Ren: ...that's wrong

Haruka: Hah...?

Ren: That's definitely wrong......music is......bands are......

Ren: I'm not singing for that...singing to destroy someone's dreams, that sort of thing...

Haruka: ...suit yourself...see you

 "A Moment of Brilliance"
*translated using deepl and various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made


~ Location: In Front of the Station ~

Ryo: It was fun wasn't it, the hero show. Nayuta, you also had fun didn't you? I've learned a lot

Nayuta: Don't care.

Ryo: But, all the kids at the venue looked happy, didn't they? Maybe I want to try doing a live that's like that

Nayuta: Those people are like that because they wanted to come, it's obvious

Ryo: But that's...the same as a band's live concert, right?

Nayuta: No.

Ryo: It's not?

Nayuta: No. I don't do it to please the audience.

Nayuta: I sing for...my own sake.

Ryo: Hmm...oh, by the way, Nayuta, for a moment at the show-

???: Huh...? Um, excuse me. You're GYROAXIA's Asahi-san and Akebono-san, right?

Nayuta: ......who are you?

Tadaomi: I knew it. I never thought I'd meet you guys in this kind of place.

Ryo: Epsi's...Tadaomi-kun, right? I'm meeting a lot of people today

Tadaomi: A lot of people...have you met Haruka-kin by any chance?

Ryo: Yeah, we were watching a hero show together a while ago

Tadaomi: Is that so. Then, it seems like he should still be nearby

Ryo: Were you looking for Haruka-kun?

Tadaomi: Yes. Reiji-kun told me to look for him because we have practice

Nayuta: Let's go. I don't want to get along with a bunch of trash

Tadaomi: By the looks of it, you know what Shuu-kin is doing. It's okay. I'm not going to do anything.

Tadaomi: I'm not very interested in GYROAXIA after all

Nayuta: Ah?

Ryo: ...what do you mean?

Tadaomi: It's my own personal thoughts. Well then, if you'll excuse me, I have to go

Tadaomi: ...oh, that's right. Asahi-san, please take care of yourself. [he leaves]

Nayuta: ......

Ryo: I wonder what it is...that child gives me a strange feeling

Nayuta: ...I don't want to hear that from you

Ryo: He was different from any earthling I've met so far...the shine in his eyes were like they were ashen and dull...

Ryo: That person...what is he doing music for? What can I do to make him happy...?

Nayuta: Tch...

Ryo: Sorry, sorry. I'll think about it later. That's right, more importantly-

Ryo: When we were watching the show, just for a moment, there was a sparkle in your eyes

Nayuta: Hah?

Ryo: Just before the last battle started, when the song came with a "bang"

Ryo: You looked bored the whole time, but just for that moment, your eyes became serious-

Nayuta: ...the song wasn't bad

Ryo: I see. It was a good song. Was that the theme song for "Star Five"?

Ryo: Let's ask Ren-kun to teach us next time

Nayuta: ...I don't need that. (he seems to be...slightly embarrassed here?)
