[Seiyuu] Toki Shunichi's Tweet on 21 Jun 2019 (JST)

(TL under the cut!)

Recently at work, Asanuma-san asked me "Did you get taller or something?" so I thought about why, and I think I get it.

Asanuma-san,

It's probably because Eguchi-san wasn't next to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eguchi-magic is sure incredible... (´▽` );

Sometimes I look at photos of Toyonaga Toshiyuki next to Egu and marvel at the height difference (162cm vs. 187cm) before I realize that's about how much Egu would be taller than me, too...

[Tsukiuta] リーンカーネーション (Reincarnation) Lyrics

Kanji, Romaji, and English lyrics under the cut!

Note: words that are originally in English in the Japanese lyrics have been italicized in the Romaji lyrics.

I also italicized certain lines in the English lyrics to mark that they were reordered from the Japanese lyrics to better fit the English sentence structure. Happy reading!

Reincarnation Satsuki Aoi (CV. KENN) Tsukiuta 4th Season Satsuki Aoi “Reincarnation”

[Kanji]

手を繋いでいつも歩いた 大きくって柔らかな手 いつの間に離したんだろう もう何年触れてないだろう

いつだってその温もりが 僕を守ってくれた

早く大人になりたいと思ってた 君はずっと変わらないと思ってた シワが増えて小さくなったその手を 今度は僕が温めてあげたいんだ

la la ding dong 君の愛が makes my life happy ずっとずっと忘れないでいたい la la ding dong 願いを込めて届けよう ずっとずっと笑ってくれるように

「麗しい お嬢様よ この赤い花を君に」 そんなこと書いたカードを はにかんで添えたなら

一人でここまで来れたと思ってた 時には煩わしいとさえ思ってた やっと気付けたよ 君はこの両手を 離れてもずっと握ってくれてたんだ

la la ding dong 僕は君の reincarnation いつか話した夢の向こう側 la la ding dong その手を引いて行けたら 昔みたいに ほら 一緒に笑おう

la la ding dong 君の愛が makes my life happy ずっとずっと忘れないでいたい la la ding dong 願いを込めて届けよう ずっとずっと笑ってくれるように

la la ding dong 僕は君の reincarnation いつか話した夢の向こう側 la la ding dong その手を引いて行けたら 昔みたいに ほら 一緒に笑おう

優しい人へ この花束を 愛しい人へ この花束を

[English]

I always walked holding your hand A large and soft hand I wonder when I had let go of it How many years has it already been since I’ve touched it?

Its warmth had always Protected me

I thought that I wanted to quickly become an adult I thought that you would never change That hand that got more wrinkles and became smaller I’d like to warm it for you this time

la la ding dong your love makes my life happy I never ever want to forget it la la ding dong I’ll include a wish to send to you May you smile for me forever and ever

When I had shyly attached the card That had written in it things like 「Beautiful young lady, I’d like to present this red flower to you」

I thought that I had made it up to now all alone I even thought that you were annoying at times I finally realized that you were holding my two hands Always, even when we were apart

la la ding dong I am your reincarnation Someday, if I can go while taking your hand la la ding dong to the other side of the dream we talked about Let’s smile together like we used to in the past, come on

la la ding dong your love makes my life happy I never ever want to forget it la la ding dong I’ll include a wish to send to you May you smile for me forever and ever

la la ding dong I am your reincarnation Someday, if I can go while taking your hand la la ding dong to the other side of the dream we talked about Let’s smile together like we used to in the past, come on

Kind person, I’d like to present this bouquet to you Lovely person, I’d like to present this bouquet to you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Confused about why he calls himself her reincarnation? Why he mentions how her hand got more wrinkles?

Well, I sure was! I thought and talked with others about the lyrics for days while and even after translating... and here’s two main theories we came up with:

Theory 1: it’s a song of gratitude addressed to a past lover who is his soulmate

The lyrics mention how the woman’s hand used to be bigger than his and how he wants to grow up into an adult quickly, so the lover is presumably older and he met her when he was younger/not yet an adult.

They’ve likely already parted since he mentions how it’s been years since he touched her hand. He presently seems appreciative of her love for him and maybe sorry for his past actions, since he says how he used to think she was occassionally annoying but realized how much she had loved him regardless of whether they were together or separated.

As for why he says that he is her “reincarnation,” perhaps he is using that as a kind of alternative to “soulmate.”

Something questionable with this theory is the fact that the lyrics mention how her hand gets more wrinkly by the time he has grown up, which gives the impression that she is significantly older than him...

Theory 2: it’s a song of gratitude addressed to his mother

The song’s lyrics has lots of parts where it mentions various feelings and actions that are common for children to experience as they grow up into adults and eventually leave their parents:

-holding their parents’ hands when they are young but coming to stop doing so once they reach teenage/adult years

-thinking of them as occasionally annoying

-thinking that they'd never change

Many people find it awkward, frustrating, or hard to accept that their parents have changed (especially aging), so perhaps this sentiment is also being expressed in the song.

(On the other hand, many people also probably think of their lover as occassionally annoying or expect them to not change, so the previous theory isn’t necessarily invalidated.)

Additionally, he gives her red flowers, which are presumably carnations because of the song’s title and the fact that carnations were shown multiple times in the PV video. In Japan, red carnations are often gifted to mothers on Mother’s Day and thus have come to symbolize love/appreciation for one’s mother. Japan also celebrates both Mother’s Day and Children’s Day in the month of May...

(Side note: although never mentioned in the lyrics, the PV video also included blue carnations, which mean “everlasting happiness.”)

However, it’s unusual that he would address his mother with “kimi” and call her “ojou-sama.” Perhaps it’s affectionate flattery (sort of like “mom, you’re not too old to be called ‘young lady’”).

TLDR: he expresses recently realized gratitude for a certain woman who continuously loves and supports him, but the woman’s relationship to him and her age relative to him is not clear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These were just some personal interpretations of the song. Feel free to share your own thoughts about the lyrics and the song, I’d love to hear them (*´▽`*)

[mikazukimochi]

The PV for Aoi’s upcoming CD got released about 6 hours ago! 

So it turns out, he was posing after all...! I guess it would have been unusual of Jiku-sensei to just draw a character standing straight without a pose for a CD jacket. But in any case, Aoi looks dashingly princely as ever...

The song also seems super great and I’m so excited (and surprised that they released the PV this early, it’s not even May yet)! I will be translating the song’s lyrics, too, so please look forward to it and support Aoi lots! (≧∇≦)

RT

Arata: This is the prince who is the pride of Gravi. Lately his princeliness has been really increasing, right? (ahem) Well, he was a prince since a long time ago, though.

Aoi: It's fine not to say those kinds of things (it's embarrassing)... Though... Yeah, thanks. To be able to be told such things, I want to be princely, not falter at crucial times, and become a brave and strong person.

#Please take good care of us

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, they were retweeting...

Aoi’s CD jacket cover has been released! The song title is “Reincarnation,” and the drama track titles are “Aoi-kun, there’s trouble” and “As the older brother of one person.”

Aoi’s older brother Chihiro will actually be featured in this drama CD and will be voiced by KENN, the same VA as Aoi! Please support Aoi lots, everyone~ \(*´▽`*)/

And speaking of the CD jacket, I am totally in love with it...! I especially love how while everyone else in Six Gravity made some kind of pose, all Aoi had to do was stand with his head held high and smile like the angelic prince he is...♥︎

I can’t wait until the end of May for this...! ｡ﾟ(≧o≦)ﾟ｡ Arata’s CD isn’t even out yet, I really need to calm down...

[Seiyuu] Yonaga Tsubasa’s Tweet on 20 Apr 2019 (JST)

(TL under the cut!)

Yonaga Tsubasa: Everyone, good morning (*´▽`*)

Today is the day of the Yowamushi Pedal Event in Nagasaki Huis Ten Bosch*!

First time in Nagasaki✨✨

Really~~ I’m so full of excitement✨

So because of that, I have a question for everyone-

Please tell me recommendations of places or foods that make you say “this place in Nagasaki is somewhere you absolutely need to go to!” (^-^)💖

Yamashita Daiki: lemon steak lemon steak lemon steak steak steak steak steak hamburger hamburger hamburger hamburger steak steak steak steak steak

*TN: Huis Ten Bosc is a Dutch-themed amusement park in Nagasaki, Japan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I always think of castella or champon when I think of Nagasaki foods... but it’s not surprising that Daiking would recommend meat dishes, huh! (*´▽`*);

And it seems that lemon steak is something that lots of people enjoy at Nagasaki, so!

[Tsukiuta SS] Irregular Fortune Telling for 10 Apr 2019 (JST)

(TL under the cut!)

☆Irregular Fortune Telling☆

Shun: Today's lucky ones are May-birthdays, April-birthdays should be careful.

Arata: E~n* I hit my head~, Aoi~ pat it~

Aoi: The reason why you hit your head is because you went under the table to put a whoopee cushion on my chair, and I know that.

Arata: Ha, I don't remember! This must be memory loss from the shock of hitting my head.

*TN: En is a sound effect for crying/sobbing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arata's such a baby sometimes... ww

[Tsukiuta] Arata's Tweet on 9 Apr 2019 (JST)

(TL under the cut!)

Arata: Sneak peek of Aoi's CD jacket photo. I didn't miss the slight embarrassment on his face.

Aoi: WAH---------

#This month is me #Next month is Aoi #From Heisei to Reiwa* combi #Please take good care of both of us

*TN: Heisei is the name of the current imperial era of Japan, and Reiwa is the next one that will begin on May 1st, 2019. The change of eras will occur between Arata and Aoi’s birthdays (April 28th and May 5th).

☆Irregular Fortune Telling☆

Shun: Today’s lucky ones are February-birthdays, May-birthdays should be careful.

Aoi: Haa... Today was exhausting.

*click* (door opens)

Koi: Ah, Aoi-san, thank you for your hard work today! This is sudden, but I’d like to brag! I got a love-letter from a child actress who was co-starring with me! She said that I’m cool! Yay-! (*´▽`)v

Aoi: Koi is sure cute...

Koi: ?

#I’ve been healed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That really was cute of Koi to brag about... (*´▽`*)

[Notice]

I “moved” blogs (changed this blog to look like the original side blog) because I posted on the side blog (now deleted) more often.

Another reason why I moved was because of the confusion that results when I try to reply to a reply or reaction on my posts.

Tumblr processes what should be a reply from my side blog as a reply from my primary blog, which causes confusion since the user I'm replying to probably doesn't know about the primary blog, so it seems like an unrelated blog is replying.

In any case, everything was reposted on this one, though, so hopefully it’s alright! Thank gosh it was only four posts...

Sorry about the confusion to everyone! Hope you guys enjoy future posts as well.

[Tsukiuta] Arata’s Tweet on 5 Apr 2019 (JST)

(TL under the cut!)

Arata: Aoi gave this to me. Said he bought it on impulse after seeing it online. Unusual.

A Somei-yoshino* flower is floating in the cube, wonder how they made it like that. It’s prettyyy.

It’s (cherry blossom flower) pretty because it blooms and falls, but we also want to preserve it in its bloom. That’s how humans are, aren’t they.

Or something like that.

#This is poetic

*TN: Somei-yoshino is a hybrid cherry tree that is commonly known as Prunus x yedoensis or Cerasus x yedoensis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m not crying at Arata’s moment of seriousness or Aoi’s rare spontaneity or because I got reminded of Yumemigusa, I swear… ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

[Seiyuu] Eguchi Takuya’s Tweet on 17 Nov 2018 (JST)

It’s been months since he tweeted this, but it still makes me smile...

A few minutes before 3 am in Japan, Egu tweeted about his internal struggle of deciding whether or not to eat ramen that ultimately ended in a very Egu decision:

"TABERUUUUUUU"

(TL under the cut!)

[TL] Should I eat the finishing ramen (after-drinking ramen)... no... but... it's so late... hmmmm.... I'M GOING TO EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!

[TL] [News Flash] I also ordered some rice.

[TL] Ramen that doesn't have rice is like a movie theater that doesn't have caramel popcorn. It's alright if it doesn't have it. But y'know, it's nice to have it depending on your mood.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last tweet where he explains his rice+ramen order makes me wonder... Egu, did someone judge you for ordering rice with your ramen??? ‪Σ( ´○` );
