Ryo and the Fes
*translated using various jp dictionaries, mistakes may be made

~ Location: In Front of the Station ~

Ryo: Miyuki-kun, thank you very much for today

Miyuki: Don't thank me. I'll go shopping with you anytime

Ryo: Thank you. When I'm alone, I don't know what kind of clothes I should buy

Miyuki: Is Kenta usually with you?

Ryo: Yup. Kenken will choose for me

Ryo: The clothes that you chose for me look different, but they're really cool

Miyuki: Right? You look good in this kind of thing

Miyuki: It may be confusing at first to wear a different style, but once you try it out, you'll get used to it-

Ryo: ......

Miyuki: Ryo-chin? What's wrong?

Ryo: I can hear music...

Miyuki: Hmm? ...Aah, that's true

Miyuki: It looks like they're doing a live performance somewhere. Do you want to go listen?

Ryo: No, we don't have to go

Miyuki: That. Say it clearly

Ryo: Because, there's no point in listening to this kind of sound

Ryo: The sound doesn't shine. It's like a dead star

Miyuki: As usual, I don't really understand what Ryo-chin is saying

Miyuki: In other words, it's not good?

Ryo: For me, music is something that makes people happy

Ryo: But, the music I'm hearing is different. I don't think there's any point in going

Miyuki: I'm not sure if your standards are simple or profound

Ryo: It's not that difficult

Ryo: Do you want to do this kind of music or not? That kind of thing

Ryo: There will be a lot of people coming to the Fes, right?

Miyuki: That's right. I'm sure fans from all over the country will come, and the venue will be packed

Ryo: Yeah...you're right. I want to play music that makes everyone happy

Miyuki: Ryo-chin, you say the grandest things so easily...

Ryo: Eh? I wonder...I thought I was being very enthusiastic

Miyuki: Haah?! No no! It didn't look like that at all!

Miyuki: ...But, well, Gyro's music is fine. You'll get exactly what you want, Ryo-chin!

Ryo: Yup, that's right

Ryo: (We're the best band, playing music made by the best of friends)

Ryo: (I'm sure I can make everyone happy, and then I'll-)

Ryo: ...I have to work harder. I can't wait for the day I return to the stars

Kenta and the Artist He Admires
*translated using various jp to en dictionaries, mistakes may be made ^^"

~ Location: Share House Living Room (GYROAXIA) ~

SFX: [Thud!] (Kenta puts down a decently heavy box)

Kenta: Phew...looking at it again, it's quite a lot

Reon: What's with the boxes?

Kenta: CDs and magazines I used to collect

Kenta: I thought I'd gotten rid of it, but it seems to have gotten mixed in when we moved

Reon: Hmm~ ...the things you've been collecting, huh...

Kenta: Want to take a look?

Reon: ! Is that okay?

Kenta: Of course. It's not like I'm embarrassed about it being seen

Reon: Well, let's get started...Hmm~ nothing but foreign bands

Reon: Ah, but this one is Japanese...I know this person too

Kenta: This is nostalgic. I especially liked that artist

Reon: You 'liked' them...past tense?

Kenta: I've lost my enthusiasm for them...because I met Nayuta

Reon: Eh? That's- what do you mean?

Kenta: I always thought that artist was a genius

Kenta: The songs and lyrics he writes, and the image he creates are all top-notch, and he would eventually be active on the world's stage...

Kenta: But, that didn't happen. You haven't seen him lately, right?

Reon: Yeah, he disappeared before we knew it. He used to sing a bunch of theme songs for dramas...

Kenta: I guess he had no ambition. All he had was talent

Kenta: When I heard Nayuta's song, I thought he was a bundle of talent. In addition, he has confidence and ambition

Kenta: Nayuta has everything you would need to stand on the world's stage

Kenta: Even you recognize Nayuta's talent and ability, right?

Reon: ......yeah

Kenta: Haha, well it's fine

Kenta: Anyway, when I met Nayuta, I knew I wanted to send his talent out into the world

Kenta: Gathering suitable members, making sure he was going to be active, and-

Reon: In other words, you found something else you were able to be passionate about

Reon: That's why, when you met Nayuta your previous passion cooled down...

Kenta: Yeah. I don't admire any other artists nowadays

Reon: I see. But...

Reon: I know you have high expectations for that guy, but can't you do something about his personality?

Kenta: Nayuta's fine like that

Kenta: I know you'll continue to clash with him, but I'm counting on you

Reon: ...In return, I'll definitely stand on the overseas stage with Gyro

Kenta: Yeah. Of course...

Kenta: (From the beginning, I created GYROAXIA just to show Nayuta to the world)

Kenta: (Even without being told, I'll make it happen)

Provocation at Dawn | 4* Card Story
*translated using various jp dictionaries, mistakes may be made

Reon: Not this one either. Even if I rearranged it, I don't think I'd have the right answer...

Reon: Should I make the phrase here stronger? ...No, that would interfere with the song-

Reon: ... *sigh* It's no good. I'll have a cup of coffee and get it together

SFX: Clank (The door opens)

Reon: Hmm?

Nayuta: ......

Reon: I didn't know you were awake too

Reon: I only made enough coffee for myself, so if you some make it yourself

Nayuta: ...I didn't ask

Reon: I wasn't going to pour it for you even if you did ask

SFX: Clattering (Nayuta's turn on the coffee)

Reon: You take the time to cut a lemon and put it in your coffee this early? You really like it that, don't you

Nayuta: ......

Reon: You're ignoring me.

Nayuta: ...I heard the sound of your guitar

Reon: So what? I've been trying to think about the arrangement, so of course you'll hear it

Nayuta: If all you can do is make boring arrangements we don't need it

Reon: Ha?

Nayuta: I'm saying you don't have to do it. Let Satozuka take care of it

Reon: Tch, you...! What are you saying-

Nayuta: If you have any complaints, make the guitar more intense. You're not aggressive enough

Reon: ...W-Well, that would interfere with the song!

Nayuta: Then don't try to prove yourself. Don't think you can get in my way with your guitar

Reon: Haa?!

Reon: Hey, wait a minute! Nayuta!

Reon: That guy...just said what he wanted and left...

Reon: I'll do it...Going beyond his imagination isn't enough. I'll definitely make him listen to this!

~ Location: Outdoor Live Venue ~

Yuuto: Are you guys having fun?! Then, next is a new song! Ren, please introduce the song!

Ren: Ah, yeah, um...this song was written by all the members for a little friend who will be leaving us soon!

Ren: But, as I was writing it...I think this song became a song for more people

Ren: Among them...there is me. I was so afraid of losing something that I didn't reach out to others and I was alone for a long time

Ren: I hope this song will remain in those people's hearts and help them move forward, no matter where they are

Ren: "Stand by Me!"

~ Location: Outdoor Live Venue Audience Seat ~

Father: Those people, they're amazing

Boy: Yeah! And that song...it was so cool! I've never heard that song before, but it made me jump around a lot!

Boy: (...it was really cool. Like the theme song of an anime, it was a song that gave me some courage)

Boy: (It's a bit like the theme song for Star Five...huh?)

Boy: I don't have my keychain on my bag...I guess it came off when I was jumping around

Child A: ...Hey, is this...yours? I found it down here

Boy: Eh? Ah, yeah...thank you. For picking it up

Child A: ...This is Star Five right? You like it?

Boy: Eh...? Y-Yeah. Do you...know about it?

Child A: ...Seriously?!

Child A: I've never met anyone around my age who likes Star Five except for me!

Boy: Eh...?!

Child A: What the heck! If I'd known that, I would've talked to you more properly!

Child A: Hey hey! There's some of my Star Five goods on that bike over there! You wanna come check it out?

Boy: B-But...

Father: You should go. I'll pick you up later

Boy: ...Yeah!

~ Location: Outdoor Live Music Venue ~

Banri: Today's audience was a very different customer base, but I'm glad everyone got excited

Yuuto: That's right! And the response to the new song was great! Hey, aren't you glad you made it, Wataru?!

Wataru: It's an afterthought but...well, I've learned that it's important to have a setlist that matches the audience

Rio: ...Nanahoshi, isn't that the boy from the other day in the bicycle parking lot over there?

Ren: Eh? Ah, it's true...it looks like he's with someone

Boy: Ah, onii-chan! Hey, come here, come here!

Ren: ...You came to see it

Boy: Yeah, it was really cool! But...I'm sorry. I didn't watch it all the way through

Ren: Eh...why?

Child A: Oh, so this is the nii-chan of the band you were talking about, the one that likes Star Five!

Boy: Yes yes, he knows so much!

Child A: Ho~ Well, then you can see the value of these goods!

Ren: This is...the initial batch of Star Five cards!! I've never seen anything this valuable before...ah! This one is-

Banri: ...it looks like he's starting to get excited

Wataru: It's fine, isn't it? It looks like he's having fun

Boy: Ah, that's right! We just created a Star Five contact group, would you like to join?

Ren: ...it's okay with you?

Boy: Of course! This way, we can always talk even if we're apart!

Ren: I see...yeah. Then, I'm looking forward to it!

Ren: (There's very little I can do for this boy. I don't even know if singing can really help him...)

Ren: (But even so, I'll believe in it and keep singing. I will continue to believe that these songs can connect someone to someone else)

Ren: (That is...my reason for singing)

Boy: ...I see, but it...can't be helped. It's work after all

Father: I'm sorry. You've made friends with this onii-chan, and now we're going to have to move again soon

Boy: ...it's okay! Because, you know, we've only just met, and we haven't really...gotten to know each other that well to be friends

Ren: ...That's not true! Don't say that!

Boy: Eh...

Yuuto: Ren, your voice is suddenly so loud

Ren: We talked a lot about Star Five together, didn't we?! You laughed a lot didn't you?!

Ren: To pretend that this never happened...you can't do that!

Boy: Onii-chan...

Ren: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak so loudly but...I want you to listen to me

Ren: ...I also used to think that I didn't need any friends. It was fine being alone, being able to watch my favorite things and sing my favorite songs by myself

Ren: But...then I met everyone here, and we started the band, and a lot...a lot really happened

Ren: Then, before I knew it...I wasn't alone anymore...um, and then, I came to Tokyo with everyone...and...

Banri: ...Oh boy, Ren-kun is about to freeze up

Rio: That's because he gave a sudden speech unprepared

Ren: Um...that's why, I...

Yuuto: Yes, that's enough!

Ren: Yuuto...but, I'm still...

Yuuto: You can continue next time on the stage at our upcoming outdoor live! So, how is it?

Ren: Eh?

Boy: Outdoor live?

Yuuto: Yeah! We're going to have a live on a nearby outdoor stage next time! It's at the end of this month...you won't be moving by then, right?

Wataru: (sigh) ...so that's what it is...

Ren: ...What do you mean?

Wataru: We're gonna do it, that new song...completed with your words

Ren: ......!

Yuuto: As expected of Wataru! You made a good move!

Wataru: Really, you're always deciding these things on your own... *sigh* ...I got it, I'll follow up on the lyrics

Wataru: But you know, Ren. I won't let you use these lyrics as a temporary encouragement

Ren: Yeah...I know! Thank you, Wataru!

Father: U-Um, that's a good conversation going on...

Banri: Sorry, these guys got all excited on their own

Banri: In short, we'd like to invite you both to our outdoor live at the end of the month

Father: Outdoor live...at the end of the month, I'm sure we can go since I won't be too busy yet...

Father: What do you want to do? Do you want to go?

Boy: I...

*the day of the outdoor live*

Yuuto: How's the crowd?

Banri: There are a lot of people here. It looks like some of the kids who we played with at the park are here with their mothers

Rio: Nanahoshi, is the boy you were worried about coming?

Banri: I wonder...if he's in the back, it's hard to tell from here

Ren: It's alright. They're here, I know they're here.

Ren: If he's not here, it'll surely reach him. I'll make it reach him

Wataru: Hmm~ You seem pretty confident. This kind of Ren is rare

Ren: ...Don't tease me (>///<)

Yuuto: Alright, it's time! Let's go!!

~ Location: Argonavis' Share House ~

Ren: When you guys were playing with the kids at the park, there was a boy playing by himself

Rio: Ah...now that you mention it, I remember seeing him in the corner

Ren: Yeah. I found out that the boy seems to be moving around a lot because of his parents' work

Ren: He says that he doesn't make friends because he's going to leave them soon and that it's better that way

Ren: I...it kind of reminded me of myself in the past

Yuuto: ...you used to sing alone in the past too

Ren: I wanted to say something to him, but...I couldn't find the words to say right then and there

Ren: But...I thought of reaching out to him with a song if possible. I want to cheer that boy up

Ren: That's why I...want to sing a song for that boy at the upcoming outdoor live. I know it's selfish of me, but I want everyone to help too

Yuuto: I see...that's just like you. But we don't have a lot of time before the live, so we can't just start writing new songs, you know?

Ren: Yes...that's true...

Banri: Well, we happen to have a new song with arrangements and lyrics that are still unfinished

Ren: ...eh?

Yuuto: Hmhm...for example, is it hard to arrange that into a song style that a child might like, Rio?

Rio: Not really. If you can find a tokusatsu or anime theme song to refer to it'd be helpful

Ren: ...I understand! We've talked a lot about our favorite theme songs!

Yuuto: Alright! Now we just need the lyrics! Wataru, if you were to incorporate the image of Ren into the lyrics now-

Wataru: Hold on a minute, Yuu! Everyone, wait!

Wataru: ...Well, I know how you feel, Ren. I'd like to do something for that boy too

Wataru: But you know, we can't change his home environment, right?

Wataru: It might cheer him up in the moment, but it may also end up making him feel more lonely in the future

Wataru: Are you okay with that? Isn't that just a temporary solution? Isn't it just...your own self satisfaction?

Ren: That is...

Banri: Wataru-kun, you don't have to say it like that

Wataru: I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I just...don't think it's right to put too much effort into it

Ren: ...It's okay, I don't mind. Besides, I understand what Wataru is saying

Ren: I'll think about it...for a bit

~ Location: Park ~

Banri: The park is kind of quiet today. It looks like the kids from the other day haven't come either

Ren: (...I wonder if that boy is coming too)

Rio: Nanahoshi, isn't the boy you talked about last time over there?

Ren: Ah, it's true...he's right there

Boy: Ah, it's Star Five onii-chan!

Ren: Hello. You're here

Boy: Dad, this is the onii-chan I talked to! We talked a lot about Star Five at the park the other day!

Father: Aah, so it's you. My son told me about you. I'm sorry, it seems like you had to play along

Yuuto: No no, it's our pleasure! Ren was happy that he was able to have so many interesting conversations!

Ren: S-Stop it, Yuuto...um, are you playing with your dad today?

Father: Yes, I happen to have the day off from work

Boy: That's right! Tomorrow too! Hey, let's come to the park tomorrow too!

Father: Sorry, dad has to go to the government office for a while tomorrow

Boy: Government office...?

Father: It was suddenly decided yesterday but...we'll move again next month. I'm going to cause you a lot of trouble again

Boy: Eh...

Ren: Eh...?

Wataru: (sigh) ...we didn't get to do the review meeting at all

Yuuto: Isn't it okay to have a change of pace once in a while? Maybe the kids will even become future fans!

Banri: Well, I was able to do some business with the moms. They said they'd bring their kids to our next outdoor live

Rio: It's not bad to throw the ball once in a while...

Yuuto: Well, I guess we'll do the review meeting at home!

Ren: ...I'm going to stay in the park for a bit longer. I'm a little concerned about something

Yuuto: Did something happen?

Ren: No, it's okay. It's not a big deal. I'll be back soon

Yuuto: Alright. Then, we'll see you later!

Ren: (That kid from earlier is still playing by himself even though it's getting dark...I wonder if he's okay...)

Ren: ...ah

Boy: ...eh?

Ren: Ah, that...keychain on your bag, it's from "Chou Muchuu Sentai Star Five" right?

Boy: That's right...but...

Ren: ...Do you like that tokusatsu?

Boy: ...Yeah

Ren: Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to talk to you so suddenly. That...I like Star Five too...

Boy: ...Really?

Ren: Yeah. I've watched all of them, the TV series and the movie version. And the new series that just started!

Boy: ...Me too! I look forward to it every week!

Boy: It was amazing the other day...! Red was in a pinch, and Vandorion MK2...

Ren: That combination scene was super heated, wasn't it...?! That was the reverse of the climax of the first series, and it was one of the most-

*about two hours later*

Boy: Fuu...I think this is the first time I've talked about Star Five this much...!

Ren: Do you always play here?

Boy: Yeah. Onii-chan, do you come here often too?

Ren: Yeah. I just moved here recently

Boy: Moving...so you too

Ren: Did you just move here too?

Boy: Yeah

Ren: (I see, that's why he's alone...)

Ren: Did you make any friends here...?

Boy: No. But, it's okay

Boy: I'm going to move away for my dad's job soon anyway, so...I won't make any friends

Ren: ...You're not lonely?

Boy: I'm fine. Because...it's better that way

Ren: ......

~ Location: Argonavis' Share House ~

Yuuto: You're late, Ren. Did something happen at the park?

Ren: Yeah...hey, can you guys listen?

Banri: What what? What's wrong?

Ren: I...have someone I want to convey my words to. I want to have the power to say something that'll help the child...that's why...

Rio: ...That's why?

Ren: At the next outdoor live...for that child...I want to make a song...!

Ren: (Today's practice was fun too...)

Ren: (It's always fun to work together to complete a song. It's more than I could ever think of on my own)

Ren: I want to hurry and sing in a performance soon...

Yuuto: Oh, you're getting really motivated, Ren. After all, as the live gets closer, you get more excited, right?

Ren: Ah...did I say that out loud?

Wataru: It's good to be motivated but we still need to practice. I wish we had a little more time today, so I could've filled in the new songs

Yuuto: You could've extended it, couldn't you?

Banri: The studio fee from Tagata is high isn't it? We can talk about arrangements at home, but we can't waste money

Rio: Then, after this we'll have a review meeting as usual?

Banri: That's right. For now, on that bench around the corner-

Child A: Hey, big bro! What's in that case?!

Yuuto: Uwa, you surprised me! What, it's just a neighborhood kid?

Child A: Heeey, what's in the bag?!

Yuuto: This one has...my precious guitar in it. It's super cool! You wanna see it?

Child A: Really? Show me, show me!

Child B: What is it, what is it? What are you looking at? I want to see it too!

Child C: Me too!!

Ren: Children came from here and there...

Wataru: Yuu is getting carried away...

Child B: ...Wow! I've seen this one on TV before! Big bros, could it be that you're famous celebrities?!

Yuuto: No, not yet, but...I'm planning on becoming very, very famous with the band now!

Child A: A band is a group of people who play instruments, right?! Cool!!

Child C: Hey hey, does that onii-chan have a guitar too? What's in the case that onii-chan is holding?!

Banri: I don't think they're gonna let me go for a while. It's not much of a review meeting...

Yuuto: It can't be helped if this happens. Alright, everyone! Your big brothers will play with you!

Child A: Oh~ yay!!

Wataru: *sigh* ...this stupid leader is...

*a few hours later*

Ren: (Everyone's...amazing. They've never met these kids before, but they're playing with them properly)

Ren: (Yuuto is...bragging about his guitar? The kids seem like they're a little bored)

Ren: (On that bench over there is...Wataru. It looks like he's doing that kid's homework for him)

Ren: (Rio is playing a game of catchball...if you throw it that seriously, it'll scare the kids)

Ren: (Huh? Banri is...ah, he's giving out flyers to the mothers and doing business...that's just like him)

Ren: (It looks like they're having fun. Everyone and the kids...)

Ren: Ah...

Child A: Nii-chan, the ball is too fast! There's no way I can catch it!

Ren: Hey, you

Child A: What? Do you want to play catch too?

Ren: No...there's a kid playing alone over there, right? Doesn't he play with you?

Child A: Aah, he's always alone. He says he won't play even if I invite him

Ren: Is that so...

Child A: It's more interesting to play with everyone, he's a weird guy

Ren: ......

Child A: Then, I'm going! ...Nii-chan, you should throw the ball slower!

Ren: (Do they like being alone? If so then it's fine but...)

Ren: But, that kid's face...looks so lonely...

Banri: Hey, it's great isn't it? This outfit! My fashion sense is shining through!

Ren: You can arrange all of it like this with just used clothes...

Wataru: And it's got the proper "Argonavis" look to it

Banri: After all, looks are important, right?

Banri: Don't you think it's perfect for our first live in Shimokitazawa?

Ren: Yeah...I think it's really good!

Banri: It's worth the effort to hear you say that

Wataru: But, I didn't think the outfits would coordinate for all of us. That was a lot of clothes, and it must have cost a lot of money

Banri: The timing of our visit was good, and it was right at the time of the wagon sale

Banri: It's even cheaper than the regular price, but you get an even bigger discount! Isn't that amazing?! That's a good deal isn't it?!

Ren: Y-Yeah...

Ren: Banri's eyes...they're sparkling

Wataru: I was right to leave Banri in charge of the outfits

Yuuto: He~y, it's about time to go!

Banri: Okay~!

Ren: It's finally time...

Banri: Are you nervous?

Ren: No...I'm looking forward to it, I'm excited!

Ryo: ...The people in this city seem to be busy. I wonder if everyone wants to get home as soon as possible because of the cold

Ryo: Speaking of which, I haven't seen any snow yet this year. Does it not snow very much in Tokyo?

Kenta: What's wrong, Ryo? It's about time for rehearsal to start

Ryo: Hey, Kenken. When it snows do you think the people of this city will look at the sky?

Kenta: I guess so...you may have noticed it already. It seems that snow is rare in Tokyo

Ryo: I see

Ryo: Stopping, looking up at the night sky, and watching the snow and stars blink together...it sounds like fun

Kenta: Even though it's the day of the performance, you're still so carefree...

Ryo: Yeah, I've got a good idea

Ryo: I can't make it snow, but I still might be able to make people happy

Kenta: Eh?

Ryo: Nayuta's songs and the sound of GYROAXIA will pour into this city

Ryo: Then people would be surprised and stop in their tracks

Ryo: Raise your voice to the sky with us...Hey, don't you think so too, Kenken?

Kenta: Hmm...that's right

Ryo: Our live will surely shine brighter than the snow and stars

Soba Shop Customer: Oh, that's a guitar case, right? Back in college I used to be in a music club

Reon: Can I ask you one question?

Reon: The guitar you were using at the last concert was a Rickenbacker 330 12-string model, right?

Haruka: What? Suddenly asking me...

Reon: You usually use the 6-string model, right?

Reon: Why did you use a 12-string model in that live? Because it looks cool?

Haruka: ...There's no way I'm going to...

Haruka: The penetrating expanse of the stroke can only be described by that guitar

Haruka: I needed it for that song...

Reon: So that's why you chose the Rickenbacker. You're really particular, aren't you?

Haruka: ...what's the point of asking me these questions?

Reon: No. I just thought that you were really serious about doing music

Haruka: *sighs* After all you-

Haruka: Did you think that somebody who just wanted to play around was using a Rickenbacker?

Reon: ...To be honest, that's what I thought at first

Reon: But, I realized it was different when I saw epsilonΦ's live. I couldn't believe you guys were just middle and high school students, your performance was at a high level

Haruka: Just for fun...your instincts are right, you know

Reon: Eh?

Haruka: You shouldn't get involved with us

Haruka: You wouldn't want to be in a band with a guy who messes with your Fes, would you?

Reon: ...It's rare for someone to say that much about their band. Don't you want to leave?

Haruka: I don't have to tell you that

Haruka: I'm not going to get used to being around Gyro's guitarist. You and I, we're enemies, right?

Reon: Hmm~? You look dull, but you're quite competitive

Reon: In addition, you're a pretty nice guy who gives me advice

Haruka: Hah? Are you stupid...? That's not true

Reon: I'll take your advice and watch out for "someone" other than you in epsilonΦ

Haruka: ...Jeez. Say what you like

Haruka: (Dammit, it was a terrible performance...that guy...always doing whatever he wants)

Haruka: (He's the reason I'm...!)

Tadaomi: Huh? Haruka-kun, you're leaving already?

Haruka: !!

Haruka: ...You don't need me after the performance. I should be able to do whatever I want afterwards

Tadaomi: But, I got a call from Reiji-kun. He said a car was coming to pick us up

Haruka: I don't need it. I'm leaving separately

Haruka: (Anyway, that guy's together with them. This isn't a joke)

Tadaomi: Hmm? Then, I think I'll go home with you

Haruka: Hah? Why...

Tadaomi: I don't know why. I'm not sure myself...ah, I wonder if it's because I want to talk to Haruka-kun?

Haruka: How should I know? Don't ask me

SFX: [tap tap tap] (steady footsteps)

Tadaomi: Kanata-kun was the most popular in today's live, wasn't he?

Haruka: ......

Tadaomi: I guess you could say it's because he's lively. What do you think, Haruka-kun?

Haruka: ......

Tadaomi: I wonder if he's working hard because the Fes is coming up soon...I'll have to learn from Kanata-kun too

Haruka: ...Hey. Don't talk to me about him

Tadaomi: Eh? ...Why?

Haruka: Because it's irritating obviously

Tadaomi: Is that so...

Tadaomi: Kanata-kun is happy to talk about you...can I ask why you're "irritated"?

Haruka: ...Tch, I told you to stop!!

Tadaomi: Yeah. Okay, I'll stop now

Haruka: ......

Tadaomi: Do you think you'll enjoy the Fes, Haruka-kun?

Haruka: ...Haa. I'm not going out there to have fun

Tadaomi: So, Haruka-kun, what are you going out there for? I'd like to know if you're enthusiastic about it. Because I want to use it as a reference

Haruka: Reference?

Haruka: (As usual, I don't get it...)

Haruka: No, it's not like that. I just...

Haruka: I just want to go to the Fes and make them realize what I'm capable of

Tadaomi: Hmm? That's Haruka-kun's enthusiasm, isn't it? Thank you for telling me

Haruka: ...Tch. Whatever

Kenta and Rio
*translated using various jp dictionaries, mistakes may be made

~ Location: Light Meal Restaurant ~

Kenta: This is a coincidence, isn't it. I never thought I'd meet you here

Rio: ...I agree

Rio: I often come to eat at this restaurant with the other members. Satozuka-san do you eat here too?

Kenta: No, it's my first time. It's a place with a nice atmosphere, so I thought I'd try it out

Rio: I see...

Rio: So, why are we at the same table?

Kenta: Yes well...because I'm interested in you, I guess

Rio: ...in me?

Kenta: It seems that our vocalist is not only interested in Nanahoshi-kun's talents, but also in your songs

Kenta: Kikyo-kun, you're the one that writes the music for Argonavis, right?

Rio: That's right

Kenta: It's rare for Nayuta to pay attention to other people's songs. That's why I was curious about it

Kenta: There are many good songs by Argonavis. Especially the new song that was performed at your recent live

Kenta: I'm impressed with how far you guys have come

Rio: Thank you very much. But, is that the main topic?

Kenta: Hmm? Why?

Rio: I thought you'd want to ask me about Matoba

Kenta: You're pretty sharp. I have to admit, I was thinking of asking you about that too

Kenta: Well? How's he doing these days?

Rio: Of course, he enjoys spending time with the band, but he seems to be having fun at university too

Rio: Yesterday, he seemed to get excited while watching an indie movie that his college friend recommended to him

Kenta: Indie movies...does he watch that kind of stuff too?

Rio: After that...it seems that the sweets he received were delicious, so he bought a lot of them...

*several hours later*

Rio: ...So, this is how Matoba's been recently

Kenta: I see...

Kenta: (I do talk on the phone with Wataru, but we rarely chat...)

Rio: I'm sorry, but I have to go to college now. Is this enough?

Kenta: Yeah, of course. Thanks for staying to talk. I'll take care of the payment

Rio: Thanks...ah, that's right

Kenta: Hmm?

Rio: The song that you praised, Matoba seems to like it too

Rio: You two are brothers, so maybe your sense of taste in music is similar

Kenta: ...I see

Rio: Then, excuse me. Also, thank you for the food

Kenta: (...Your bandmate is a pretty good guy)

Kenta: (Whatever the case, I'm glad you're having more fun than I thought you would)

Kenta: (...Well, I should go home too. The receipt is-)

Kenta: ...That guy eats really well...

Ren: (Oh, it's almost time for it to start...!)

Wataru: Ah...Ren, you're already up? It's still early...

Ren: Sorry, was the TV too loud?

Wataru: No it's fine. I just woke up

Wataru: What are you watching, Ren?

Ren: Tokusatsu! I look forward to this every week!

Wataru: I see, I see. That's why you're up so early

Ren: Because I definitely want to see it in real time!

Wataru: Hmm...you like it a lot

Ren: Yeah! Oh, look, it's starting!

Wataru: I used to watch it when I was little too...tokusatsu is still cool to watch even now

Wataru: ...Hmm? Wait, could this song be...?

Ren: Ah, you realized?

Wataru: Oh, so that's what this is about. I thought it was unusual for you to ask me to stay here

Wataru: The theme song, it's by that band

Ren: That's right!

Wataru: Hmm~ When you see it with the video, the impression is totally different

Wataru: It's cooler than just listening to the song alone

Ren: Right? The feelings of the protagonists combine with my own, and it makes me feel passionate too!

Wataru: The main characters are these two people who often appear?

Ren: Yes. The lyrics are also linked to the world view and the relationship between the two, and we discover more and more as the story progresses

Wataru: I see...I'm learning a lot

Ren: Actually, I discovered this band because they sang the theme song for another tokusatsu

Wataru: Oh, I know about it too. It was a big hit

Ren: Yeah. It's still loved by the fans along with the work. That kind of music is great, isn't it?

Ren: It makes me excited to see what kind of story is about to begin

Wataru: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean after seeing it

Ren: I know it's not easy to sing a song like this, but...

Ren: One day, I want to this kind of song, a song that can expand the world view of a story

Wataru: Yeah, don't worry. If it's with you, I'm sure we can do it

Ren: That's right. I'll keep working hard and singing so that this dream will come true

Banri: Ren-kun, here you go

Ren: Uwah...oh, it's you, Banri.

Banri: I made some hot milk, do you want some?

Ren: Yeah, thank you.

Ren: ......

Banri: What's the matter? Is there something on your mind?

Ren: Yeah...I'm feeling kind of restless. What about you?

Banri: I've been sitting in my room keeping track of our finances. We've just started a new life here, so we need to be careful with them.

Banri: I came to the living room to take a break and found you here

Ren: ...The hot milk is delicious. It has a reassuring taste

Banri: Well, it's not as good as our farm's milk

Banri: ...So anyway, why don't you relax? I'll listen to you if you want me to, okay?

Ren: It's just...I was thinking about the upcoming Fes, and I couldn't sleep

Banri: ...I see

Ren: You were always enthusiastic about it from the beginning

Banri: That's because you can get big money*

Ren: That's just like you

Banri: Well you know, everyone tells me that

Banri: Of course, I have to win to get it, so I'm gonna have to work hard

Ren: The feeling of wanting to win, huh...I still don't understand it. I don't think music can be compared like that

Banri: Yeah, yeah, I understand

Banri: Ren-kun, have you ever wanted to win something?

Ren: Wanted to win...hmm...?

Ren: ......

Banri: Ah...You've been thinking about it for awhile

Banri: Hmm...what can I say...everyone has their own reasons for participating in the Fes

Banri: Mine is "big money!" but it's different for others

Ren: I wonder... Yeah, that's right

Banri: Anyway, why don't you go to bed Ren-kun? We'll be even busier tomorrow!

Banri: Shopping, practice, ...oh! I've got to find a new part time job too!

Ren: Yeah. Banri, thank you for listening

Ren: You know, if I ever get anxious again, can I ask you to listen?

Banri: Of course. That's a small price to pay!

Ren: Thank you, Banri!

Ren: (I want to sing as much as I can with everyone in that place...I wonder if that's enough for now)

Reon: ......

Reon: (No matter how many times I see it, this person's guitar technique is amazing...)

Kenta: Reon?

Reon: ......

Kenta: Reon

Reon: !! Kenta-san...? Sorry, I was wearing earphones and I didn't notice you...

Kenta: No, it's my bad for calling out to you while you were concentrating

Kenta: I'm going to change the guitar part a little bit for the next song, so I'll give you the score

Reon: Alright, I'll check it out

Kenta: ...Hmm? That video...it's pretty old

Reon: ! You recognize it?

Kenta: Yeah, I can tell by looking at the guitar

Kenta: Ibanez 7-string guitar, Universe...

Kenta: This is the guitar "that person" used to love to play. He's using a different one these days, right?

Reon: You know a lot about it! Could it be, you also like them too, Kenta-san? That's great!

Kenta: I think he's one of the world's leading guitarists. Are you a fan?

Reon: I think they're the coolest, best guitarist in the world!

Reon: That's right! You should watch this DVD too! You'll get mesmerized by it!

Kenta: Is it a live video?

Reon: Yes! They've set up a giant blower onstage, and they're playing with a strong wind!

Reon: Don't you think there's room for a first class guitarist, with his wavy hair and lively expression?!

Reon: Above all, this technique is--

Reon: Wait- I'm sorry...I got a little heated

Kenta: Haha, it's fine. That's how much you like it, right?

Reon: I like and admire them. I wish I could be an amazing guitarist like him

Reon: It's got a unique, one of a kind atmosphere, and the overpowering guitar solo is really cool!

Reon: I also learned a lot about the tapping and arming techniques!

Reon: I mean- I did it again...!

Kenta: No, I don't mind. It's been a long time since I've seen your face like that

Kenta: These days, I've been pushing myself to focus on a lot of groundwork...it's a nice break for me too

Kenta: Let me hear more

Reon: ...is it okay?

Reon: Ah, but, I also have to practice the new guitar part...

Kenta: When you practice, you practice. When you play, you play. I think you'll be more efficient if you keep a balance between the two

Reon: Um...then...Kenta-san...actually, there are other DVDs that I want to show you

Kenta: Good, I'll keep you company

Reon: Okay, I'll bring the ones in my room! But I wonder which one I should show you first...

~ Location: Suburbs ~

Reon: Milk...where is it...this is no good...I really don't know where anything is...

Banri: I see. That's what you were wandering around and looking for some time ago

Reon: Eh? Argonavis' Shiroishi?

Banri: Hello. And you're GYROAXIA's Misono Reon-kun, aren't you?

Banri: Reon-kun, you don't usually come to the supermarket, right?

Reon: That's right but, what about it?

Banri: Gyro doesn't take turns going out to buy the groceries huh

Banri: The time is 15 minutes to 4...it can't be helped. I'll show you around

Reon: Huh? No, I just need to know where to go

Banri: Now, now, don't hold back. Let's start here, Reon-kun

*a few minutes later*

Banri: Here, eggs

Reon: No, I don't need it. I just came here to buy milk

Banri: I'm here, you know. I'll pay of course

Banri: It's 88 yen a pack per person today. I'm so lucky to have met you, Reon-kun!

Reon: Hey...did you possibly call out to me to...

Banri: Next, the vegetable section!

*a few minutes later*

Reon: No, I just want to get milk...hey, listen to me!

Banri: This bread is 30 yen cheaper than the other one. But if you're going to toast it, the other one's better...

Reon: (He's very serious...is shopping supposed to be done with such a devilish look on your face?)

Reon: (I don't know...hmm? This bread...)

Banri: Are you buying that?

Reon: Eh? No...that's not it, it was just a little nostalgic

Reon: Yuuto used to eat these

Banri: Hmm~ Yuuto-kun...by the way, you guys used to be in the same band a while ago right?

Reon: Yeah. But, that was a long time ago. Now we're rivals

Banri: While you're saying that, you're interested in how Yuuto-kun's doing, aren't you?

Reon: Huh? That's not-

Banri: Oh, it's 4 o'clock! Reon-kun, over here!

Reon: Hah?! Hey, listen to what I'm saying! That guy is really restless...!

*a few minutes later*

Banri: Okay, this is the milk section, Reon-kun

Reon: Eh? In this place...hmm? There's a poster that says...milk sale from 4pm

Reon: Could it be, you brought me around to wait for this?

Banri: I also wanted to talk to you

Banri: If you're going to buy the same thing, you might as well buy it cheap, right?

Banri: Cheap! Delicious! Efficient! Don't forget these three basics

Reon: Ha...geez. Even if I wanted to forget it, I don't think I could

Reon: (He seems like a nice guy after all...but it seems like there are pushy guys in every band)

Wataru: Hey, we're still on break, right?

Yuuto: Yeah. But, there's part of a song I want to play...

Wataru: Hmm~

Yuuto: ~♪~♪~♪ (he plays his guitar)

Wataru: Ah! Could it be, that song?!

Yuuto: Yeah, you like it too don't you, Wataru?

Wataru: Of course I do. Yuu, did you buy the band score?

Yuuto: I just bought it yesterday. I wanted to play it myself

Wataru: I want to play it too!

Yuuto: Yeah, let's play it together

Wataru: That's the intro, right?

Yuuto: Yes, yes. But, from the very beginning it's pretty difficult

Wataru: Ah, that's true the guitar part is... Wait a second, I'll also... *he takes a moment to look at the score*

Wataru: Woah...it's difficult...

Yuuto: Right? As expected of that band

Wataru: This band is recognized for their hard songs, right?

Wataru: But I'm sure it'll feel great to play it!

Yuuto: That's right! Let's play it together a little and see

*they play the song*

Yuuto: Wooaah, that was cool~!

Wataru: I messed up a little, but I still like this song

Yuuto: That's right! I'd like to be able to play the guitar solo in the middle

Wataru: Oh, here it is...wow, this is definitely difficult, isn't it?

Yuuto: And they play it like it's nothing, that's cool...

Wataru: Yes, that's right! I wish I could play it as smoothly as them...

Yuuto: Well, I just bought it, so I guess I'll start working on it from now on

Yuuto: I was hoping to cover it someday...

Yuuto: It's going to take a lot of practice to get it into shape

Wataru: You know, this band is famous for having a lot of special practice

Yuuto: Of course I know. But...

Yuuto: If we keep working hard, we'll be able to play as well as those guys

Wataru: Yeah, you just have to believe that and keep trying

Yuuto: Yeah. Let's get closer to our goal, one step at a time

Wataru: Well but...rather than a cover of that band, it's our own song first, right?

Yuuto: Haha! That's true. Alright, Wataru, let's resume practice!

Wataru: Alright, alright. I'll practice with you

Yuuto: (...Yeah, this is a nice live house)

Yuuto: (I'll talk to the owner and see if we can do a performance here)

Yuuto: Hmm? That's...

Reon: ......

Yuuto: Yo! Reon!

Reon: Yuuto, you're here...I didn't notice

Yuuto: Do you also have business at this live house?

Reon: I'm just checking it out today. It's a nice live house. It's got a good location and good facilities

Yuuto: I know, right? No, besides that...it's nostalgic

Reon: ...What is?

Yuuto: When we were together, we used to go to live houses like this, right?

Reon: ...That's right. After you mentioned it, it really is nostalgic

Yuuto: Since we were able to meet, let's go see a live together!

*a few hours later*

Yuuto: It was a good live show. As expected of Tokyo, all the bands were high level

Reon: Yeah. The guitarist in that second band, he's a pretty skilled guy

Yuuto: I thought you'd definitely look there! I was wondering about that last band

Reon: That's right. You like that kind of straightforward sound, don't you?

Yuuto: Of course! It's simple and cool, right?!

Reon: Yeah. But, I think there's a way to create a little bit more unity...it's a bit of a waste

Reon: ...we're the same as before, aren't we?

Yuuto: Yeah. It feels like we've had this exact same conversation before

Reon: But, I'm not the same person as I was back then. I'm making steady progress

Yuuto: I'm also growing fast, you know

Reon: It would be nice if we kept growing (in our skills) like this

Yuuto: ...How's Gyro doing these days?

Reon: Well, that hasn't changed either...especially Nayuta

Yuuto: I see...it hasn't changed, huh...

Reon: But, I decided to stay with Gyro...so I'll do as much as I can

Yuuto: If anything happens, you can always rely on me

Reon: ...Eh?

Yuuto: No, I may not be that helpful, but I'll be happy to at least listen

Reon: What are you talking about? I'm fine

Yuuto: Alright, if you say so

Reon: Listen to me properly...but, thank you

Yuuto: Yeah. Well, I'll be heading this way. See you later!

Reon: Let's meet on stage next time. We're gonna win, though

Yuuto: That's my line

Yuuto: (But, we're still friends with the same dream, that part hasn't changed)
