A3! Backstage Story Translation - Tasuku Takato SR: The Two Runaways - Part 1
Tumblr media
Izumi: Tasuku-san, Azuma-san, thank you for your hard work!
Azuma: You too, Director.
Tasuku: I’m glad we finished safely. Thanks to you too, Director.
Sakyo: Although you were just acting, you were pretty impactful, Takato.
Tasuku: Really?
Sakyo: Yeah. The reason you can act as a student despite your age… is probably because you’re such a convincing actor.
Tasuku: Well… I did have my concerns about playing a student role at my age.
Itaru: Just like in manga, delinquents have their own character types. Isn’t that what you fit perfectly?
Itaru: Well, you’re playing a high schooler who’s good at fighting, for example.
Izumi: You had to research how to make it look like it’s a high schooler that’s fighting, didn’t you?
Tasuku: Right. If I overdid it, it wouldn’t resonate with students, so I had to find a balance.
Tasuku: Regardless, it wasn’t realistic enough to be comparable to people who actually fight.
Tasuku: I probably could’ve done more if I had looked into it deeper.
Izumi: I hear that brothers get into physical fights with each other often. How was it for you, Tasuku-san?
Tsumugi: Fuyuki-kun and Tasuku… You guys didn’t hit each other, right?
Tasuku: I don’t think my brother and I fought physically a lot…
Sakyo: … Hear that, Fushimi?
Omi: Yes…
Tsumugi: Did you get into fights, Omi-kun?
Omi: Well, I suppose you could call them fights… But we were just playing around and doing pro-wrestling moves.
Omi: But that’s from when we were kids. We don’t fight at all now.
Tasuku: … ‘Cause you’re not at home?
Itaru: Thinking about it, you’re serious and have no delinquent attributes whatsoever. I bet you’ve never run away from home, either.
Tasuku: No, I have.
Tsumugi: You have?
Tasuku: C’mon, that time our families got together…
[Flashback starts]
Fuyuki: Heeey Tasuku, it’s about time we started going home, so clean up~
Tasuku: Don’t wanna. We’re just getting to the good part.
Fuyuki: Hey now, don’t be selfish.
Tasuku: Tsumu wants to play more too.
Tsumugi: Y-Yeah. Please, Fuyuki-kun! Just a little longer!
Fuyuki: Not you too, Tsumu… Sorry, but no can do. Alright, it’s clean up time~
Tasuku: … Tsumu, let’s get out of here.
Tsumugi: Huh? Together?
Tasuku: Yeah. If we run away, we can stay together.
Tsumugi: … Okay.
[Flashback ends]
Tsumugi: Ahaha, that did happen.
Azuma: That’s a pretty cute runaway story.
Izumi: Little kids sure do think like that~
Itaru: You’re childhood friends, though. Didn’t you two live, like, right next to each other? You’d have seen each other again soon anyway.
Tasuku: No… My family were planning to take a week-long trip after that. Though now that I think about it, that’s not a big deal.
Omi: A week is a long time when you’re a child. I’m sure you thought you’d be lonely.
Sakyo: So? How far from home did you brats run off to?
Tsumugi: I wouldn’t say we got too far.

Kumakocho Nottori★Chu with MG9 Venue conversations translation
Rintaro & Go #1
Go: Oh no! Rinrin, your necktie is crooked~ Rintaro: Huh!? Uwah, you’re right. Did it happen to shift when I took a nap earlier? Go: Hush! I’ll Fix! It! For! You♥ Rintaro: Reallyyy? Thank you so much! Go: It’s an easy task♪ … Wait a second! Go: Like this… And voila! Perfect♪ Rintaro: Thank you! … Ooh! What a cool way to knot a tie! Go: (giggles) You’ve become much more handsome now~
Rintaro & Go #2
Go: Rinrin, you have a nice body, you know~! Rintaro: Huh, really? I’m happy to be praised by Go-nee! Go: Won’t you strip and let me see? Rintaro: Huh— Th-that would be embarrassing… Go: Oh dear, we have a shy man. C~U~T~E~♪ Another one who’s got a fine body must be…  Go: That handsome man of ours I’d say~!  Rintaro: WHA—! “Handsome man” you say… You mean UJ!? My build is better than his! Rintaro: Here, Go-nee! Look at these abs! Go: Sweetie… Wasn’t stripping too embarrassing for you?
Rintaro & Go #3
Go: Fufufu~n♪ Rintaro: You’re in good spirits, Go-nee, aren't you? Did something nice happen? Go: Oh, you can tell? The truth is, earlier I almost fell from the stairs, but my prince saved me! Go: Then he asked me, “Are you hurt?” and I felt like a princess~! Rintaro: I bet Noah-san looked good doing so… I should practice it, too! Go: Rinrin, cut it out. You aren't a prince-like character.  Rintaro: You’re so harsh!! Uurgh… It hurts…

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 22: "Never Again" One More Time
Tumblr media
Banri: “This is me. This is my acting.”
Kabuto: You’re too good. That’s bad.
Banri: Don’t give such nonsensical advice, man.
Kabuto: Judas’s acting that touches people’s hearts shouldn’t be perfect here.
Banri: … I understand the reasonin’.
Kabuto: I’m sure.
Kabuto: — So, Baal.
Juza: Yeah.
Kabuto: You’re not exuding any of his otherworldly air. This is a guy who thinks he’s the future of theater.
Juza: — Got it.
Kabuto: Show me the results of having you two act as each other in the etudes. The point wasn’t to have you imitate each other’s tone of voice and posture.
Kabuto: I wrote this with you two as beginners in mind, so you should be able to do it even better. There’s no passion in this at all.
Banri: Hold up, how long are ya gonna make us play each other’s roles for?
Kabuto: If you don’t reach the level I’m looking for, you might be playing these roles longer than your actual ones.
Juza: Wha…
Banri: Are you for real…
Kabuto: Guess I need the handcuffs. Hey, go bring—
Banri: NO NEED! Quit bringing up random shit from the past.
Juza: Please spare us.
-
Kabuto: There are no problems with this formation.
Banri: Got it.
Kabuto: You’re stupidly good at making stuff like this.
Banri: Thanks.
Banri: (The hell’s stupidly supposed to mean?)
Kabuto: The lighting, sound, hair and makeup and projection images are all set. All that’s left is the play’s most important part: acting.
Banri: I’ll definitely do something about that, as the lead.
Kabuto: You’re not thinking it’ll all be solved by the magic of acting right before the curtain rises, are you?
Banri: ——
Kabuto: It’s a common misconception inexperienced people have, but as time passes, you realize that if you can’t do something in the practice room, you won’t be able to do it on the actual stage.
Kabuto: … Have you guys grown comfortable with each other?
Kabuto: Back during your debut with Picaresque, the entirety of the Autumn Troupe, but especially you two, were so ready to tear the stage apart that I could feel it through the video.
Kabuto: You may not be able to go back to those times, but you should be able to remember them. Give me what you had back then, or even more than that.
Kabuto: If you can’t do that, what did you leave the comfort of your company and come here for?
Banri: You’re right, back then…
[Flashback starts]
Tumblr media
Banri: ——
Juza: ——
Banri: … I win.
Juza: … I win.
[Flashback ends]
Banri: (That time in Picaresque I was so moved… That I acted unconsciously.)
Banri: (Right now, us members of the Autumn Troupe are trying to find an impulse that surpasses what we had before, in order to perform the Picaresque sequel.)
Banri: (But something that becomes a formative experience ain’t something you go through half-heartedly, and it ain’t something you can just look for and experience.)
Banri: (That was also a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.)
Banri: (... I wonder if a moment like that will ever come again.)
Banri: …
Kabuto: But still, Juza Hyodo’s too boring to mess around with.
Kabuto: He nods his head sincerely no matter what I tell him. I wish I could see him go “Stop fuckin’ around” the way you do.
Banri: Ahh?
Kabuto: Well, I’ll be having a one-on-one interview with him tonight. I’ll pull a sweet one on him and reveal his true self. (1)
-
Itaru: GW. That troublesome Senpai won’t be coming at all today, TY for your all-nighter. 
Banri: I’m beat from practice, man…
Itaru: That’s exactly when gaming comes in clutch.
Banri: Ughhhh…
Itaru: What’s practice at Hyakka Troupe like?
Banri: The director made Hyodo and I exchange roles and is workin’ us to the bone. Said he won’t let us play our actual roles till we perfect this.
Itaru: You exchanged roles? That director’s got some interesting tricks up his sleeve again.
Banri: Yeah, well, he saw a video of Picaresque and told us to bring the same fire as back then, and not just act half-heartedly.
Itaru: He sure researched you two thoroughly. Ah, disable the trap there, pls.
Banri: kk. And it seems he even watched Hyodo’s Portrait.
Itaru: That reminds me… we were gaming like this while everyone else in the Autumn Troupe were writing their Portraits. You were the only one slacking off.
Banri: Ahhhh…
Itaru: That’s from back when you were young and arrogant.
Itaru: Looks like that director’s not someone you can fool, same as our Director-san.
Banri: IKR…
Banri: It’s exactly because his abilities as both an actor and director are top-notch, that I want to take as much from him as I can and grow.
Banri: And then, put all that into Picaresque’s sequel.
Itaru: IKWYM.
Banri: Reminds me, the Spring Troupe’s RomiJuli sequel was pretty good.
Itaru: TY. Doing a sequel inevitably reminds you of all sorts of things.
Itaru: Yuzo-san criticized us pretty harshly for the first time in a good while, too.
Itaru: He told us to re-evaluate what we want to accomplish with this performance, and what we want to convey.
Itaru: So, on Sakuya’s recommendation, we all tried to sleep on the stage again.
Itaru: And then, he said that he wants to take on new challenges, so he won’t lose to how his old self used to be…
Itaru: So we all tried something new and came back a little improved.
Itaru: And on the first day, after everything that happened, our leader said–
[Flashback starts]
Sakuya: We each took on new challenges in preparation for the New Fleur Award, so I feel like we can return to this stage with new feelings.
Sakuya: Although we can only stand on stage for the first time once, we can have many other “firsts” from now on.
Sakuya: We can remember those feelings again and again. That courage we had when leaping into a brand-new world–
Sakuya: Let’s take all our “firsts” in a positive light and have fun together!
[Flashback ends]
Banri: That’s the Spring Troupe’s leader for ya.
Itaru: IKR.
Banri: (I can’t lose to Sakuya.)
Banri: (There’s no point if Spring and Summer are the only ones doin’ well.)
Banri: (In order for MANKAI Company to keep growing further, us Autumn Troupe’s also gotta put on a performance that surpasses the debut’s hype.)
Banri: (Honestly, since it happened once at the start, I figured it’d never happen again.)
Banri: (It’s exactly ‘cause I had this faintest feeling that we might not be able to surpass what we felt during the debut performance that I gave everyone a pep talk, saying that we absolutely have to…)
Banri: (I got no time to be twiddling my thumbs.)
Banri: (There’s no way I… we can’t surpass it.)
Banri: (The Autumn Troupe, and I as their leader, can definitely surpass the past. I’m sure of that…)

NOTES:
(1) kabuto here replaces the 一杯 in 一杯食わせる (to play a trick on someone, or deceive them) with 甘味 (sweets), since juza likes sweets. i did the same with an english phrase to match the original vibe he's got going on

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 16: Crossing Paths - Episode 12: The Four's Starting Line
Tumblr media
[Door opening]
Towa: Hello!
Ibuki: Heyaa.
Keiku: Sup.
Kureha: Excuse us.
Izumi: Welcome.
Guy: You’re all here.
Yuki: Why?
Homare: As Kureha-kun did not have Towa-kun’s contact details, we arranged for the four of them to meet up here.
Tenma: That’s fine and all, but why at MANKAI dorm?
Yuki: Couldn’t you have just have them meet at a café?
Homare: It is much more convenient here! Now, Kureha-kun, was there not something you wanted to tell Towa-kun?
Towa: What, what?
Ibuki: Uh, I think it’s obvious.
Kureha: I’ll join your troupe.
Towa: What!? Really!?
Towa: I’M SO HAPPY!! WE’RE FINALLY FOUR!! I look forward to working with you from now on!
Ibuki: And now we’re finally four.
Keiku: Nice.
Izumi: Congratulations on gathering four members.
Towa: We gotta report this to Tsuzuru-san, and also submit our entry!
Tenma: Ah, so that’s why you had them gather here.
Homare: That is precisely it.
Banri: That’s a convenient way to finish your event missions.
Towa: That being said, Tsuzuru-san, we’re four members now!
Tsuzuru: Good for you. Alright then, we should have a short meeting about the script after this.
Towa: Okay!
Keiku: Uh, what’s that entry thing about?
Ibuki: ^ This. Ibuki’s curious too.
Towa: Huh… Did I never mention it? There’s a rookie bracket in the Fleur Cup.
Towa: Rookies won’t get nominated for the Fleur Cup, but if they’re selected, they’ll be specially trained by Yukio Tachibana!
Izumi: Huh!? Since when is that a thing…?
Ibuki: Who’s Yukio Tachibana?
Keiku: Dunno.
Kureha: Hmmm, I feel like I’ve heard of him, but maybe not…
Towa: He was the general director for the original MANKAI Company! And he’s also a member of the New Fleur Award’s board of directors!
Keiku: Huuuh?
Ibuki: Oh, it’s fr. It’s right there on the official site.
Kureha: There’s also prize money? I didn’t know that.
Banri: So it’ll be kinda like Yukio-san’s development group.
Izumi: I was so focused on the Fleur Cup that I completely missed it.
Tasuku: Well, getting guidance from an experienced director will definitely work to your advantage in the future.
Tsumugi: Putting on a play also costs money, so the prize money will probably be of help, too.
Izumi: Good luck.
Towa: Thank you!! The entry deadline is today, so I’ll hurry and get us registered…
Ibuki: Talk about cutting it close.
Towa: My heart was going crazy thinking we wouldn’t make it in time~
Kureha: Does that mean you wouldn’t have been able to participate if I had been even a day slower?
Yuki: You could’ve just lied about the number and entered.
Towa: I had faith he’d make it in time!
Ibuki: That’s what you call wishful thinking.
Kureha: I also felt like this was pretty much the fate set out for us. 
Keiku: Here’s the weirdo-off.
Towa: Oh, yeah! We need to decide on a name…!
Izumi: You thought of that now!?
Tenma: You really should’ve done that sooner…
Towa: I wanted all four of us to decide together! What should I do!? What do I make it!?
Ibuki: This is way too sudden.
Keiku: Slap a (TBD) in there.
Kureha: That seems a bit too on the nose.
Towa: Ummm, uhhh… Um, does anyone have any ideas!?
Tasuku: A troupe name, huh…
Azuma: MANKAI Company was called that from the start.
Homare: If you’d like something simple, how does taking the first character from each of your names sound?
Ibuki: That’s more idol than theater troupe.
Homare: Hum…
Tsumugi: Then, how about switching it up a little… Maybe use your favorite food instead of your names?
Towa: Our favorite food… Mine’s rice!
Ibuki: Potatoes FTW.
Keiku: Cake.
Kureha: I like all sweets in general, but maybe Western ones best?
Hisoka: Marshmallows…
Tasuku: Don’t just butt in.
Towa: Then, if we were to put all these in English… RPCSM?
Keiku: Don’t need the M.
Izumi: The M is for MANKAI Company!
Kureha: RPCS…
Ibuki: Not even rearranging them can save this.
Keiku: How ‘bout throwing some Japanese in there.
Kureha: Putting the Japanese for rice and potatoes there instead would give us… KICS?
Towa: It’s easy to read! And cool!
Ibuki: It’s Kome-Imo-Cake-Sweets, though.
Keiku: Bit lame.
Kureha: But I think it suits us.
Towa: It’s decided, then! Yay! Now to finish our application…
Kureha: (… Talking like this with them, I can see it. Not only Towa-kun, but the other two as well…)
Kureha: (I actually wasn’t planning on ever meeting them in person. I guess I won’t talk about it for now.)
Towa: I’ve finished the application!
Izumi: Congratulations.
Tsuzuru: Now that you’ve got a name, you’re as real a theater troupe as any.
Homare: Do your best.
Towa: Thank you very much! We will!

hello, if you care (and if you like male idol franchises you should care) i opened a translation acc where i will dump all my i chu stuff and occasionally something more as long as its jpn to eng translated. everything gets cross posted on twitter and it would be nice if you followed or shared my posts 🙏
introduction post!
hello, my name is medu! since i've been learning japanese for a while i thought "why not practicing by translating things from my favourite idol game?" so here i am.
we got an officially localized i-chu but it sadly only covers the main story, so i will share tls for affection stories, mini convos, skill lines, novels extracts, maybe some songs, etc etc.
i will be biased, especially for my first posts. translations are hard but i want to have fun lol and spread the ujrin word
however, i-chu isn't my only interest so i might drop contents from other media as well from time to time :)
i am a total amateur and do translations in my free time, no profit other than improving my language skills. keep this in mind when engaging with my posts. thank you
most of my translations here will be proofread by my good friend @asordinaryppl <3
where to find me: art twitter | tl twitter | ao3
