A3! Troupe Members Blog Update - 25/5/2025

Go - Chikage Utsuki

I’m the Spring Troupe’s Chikage Utsuki.

Now that May is here, the weather is starting to get gentler. I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of people spending time on the dorm’s balcony and in the courtyard. The courtyard is especially spacious, so there’s always someone there.

As for the balcony, a while ago I saw this duo playing Go there.

It’s rare for anyone in the company to play Go, so I took a picture and stayed to watch them until the end.

As you can see from their expressions in the picture, Sakyo-san was the victor. But Tasuku came close too. Depending on their final plays, the outcome might’ve been reversed.

By the way, apparently they were playing Go because May 14th is Go Stones Day and Kazunari invited them to play together. It sounded like Sakyo-san and Tasuku came earlier than the designated time, so the two of them started a game.

Kazunari and Tenma arrived right after Sakyo-san and Tasuku finished their game and played against each other. Apparently, they both knew the rules, but they were actually beginners Although they needed a little help whenever they got stuck, they seemed to enjoy playing Go and thinking on their own.

In the end, I also played against Sakyo-san and Tasuku, but I’ll leave the results of those games up to your imagination.

Well then, I will see you at the theater.

[A3! Backstage Translation] Azuma Yukishiro SSR — BE.MINE Ver.Azuma (1/3)

Azuma: Hm….Then, can the reason be “I’m happy the three of us get to match”?

Yuki: Azu-nee, which one do you think is cuter between this top and that one?

Azuma: I think the one over there fits you better.

Yuki: Then I’ll go pick that one.

Azuma: Muku, are you having trouble picking between those 2 pants?

Muku: Yeah, I thought buying two is out of the question, so I had to pick one between them…

Azuma: Hm… Since Muku grew taller, I think you’d fit a more mature tone, how about this one?

You yourself want to try out those pants, right?

Muku: Huh, you could tell!? I actually really did want to try out clothes with more mature tones.

I’ve made up my mind thanks to Azu-nee! Thank you so much!

Azuma: Fufu, you're welcome.

Muku: Shopping for clothes went without a hitch, what should we do next?

Yuki: Hm? There was a store like this here?

Azuma: Looks like it’s a store that opened up here recently. …Hm, they sell handmade accessories.

Even looking from the store display alone they all seem wonderful.

Yuki: Can I have a look?

Azuma: Of course, I also got curious myself.

(Looks like the ones around here are ocean themed. Hm, are the materials used in this pendant …the real thing?)

Muku: Wah, the shape of those charms look really cute!

Yuki: That pendant looks really good.

Azuma: The design looks simple and quite practical.

Yuki: It looks great for daily use, wonder if I should buy it.

Muku: Right, it looks easy to use. I kinda want it myself.

Ah, but if Yuki-kun is going to buy it we might overlap…I think I better not…

Azuma: The shapes of the charms are different, so you’ll look different no matter which one you get, you don’t have to worry about it.

Yuki: Yeah, the main charm is different for every pendant, so it won’t look similar, don’t mind about it.

And it’s not like we’re going to wear them at the same time every time, right?

Muku: I see, I guess you’re right. Then I’ll buy the pendant.

Azuma: If you two are buying them I suppose I’ll get one too. The charms are gorgeous.

Muku: Yay! We’re all matching, I’m happy!

Yuki: Not a lot of chances to match with Azu-nee, I’m cool with it.

Azuma: Which one are the two of you going to choose? While we’re at it, we should choose the ones we like the most.

Yuki: I’m getting this one, this one caught my eye the most.

Muku: You decided fast. I think I’ll go with…ah, this one!

Azuma: So those two. Then these will be my present for the two of you.

Muku: Eh!? We can’t do that, you don’t have to…! We’ll buy them on our own…!

Yuki: We’re grateful, but you Azu-nee spoils us too much. It’s not even our birthdays, so there really isn’t a reason for giving us presents.

Azuma: Hm….Then, can the reason be “I’m happy the three of us get to match”?

Yuki: If you say it like that It’s not like I can say no…

Azuma: Fufu, then It’s a present for the celebration of us matching.

Yuki: Ah, fine… then I’ll accept it, thanks.

Muku: Thank you!

location: home

Azuma: We’re home.

Kumon: Welcome back! Did you guys go somewhere together?

Yuki: Yeah, we went shopping.

Izumi: Wah, Muku-kun’s pendant’s charms look cute! Did you get them when you went shopping earlier?

Muku: Yeah, we found them at a handmade accessories store and Azu-nee-san got them for us!

Kazura: Eh? Aren’t the three of you wearing the same pendant?

Azuma: Fufu, as expected of you. We took a liking to the charms so the three of us decided to match.

Izumi: So that’s how it is. Even so, what a coincidence at this time!

Azuma: Coincidence? 

Izumi: Actually, for the “BE.MINE” photoshoot, I just got contacted for Azuma-san’s photoshoot setting earlier.

Azuma: I’m guessing it has something to do with the charms.

Izumi: Yep, that’s right.

Chikage Utsuki | [SR] Carmine Cheater | Picture Book Storytime [1]

“A story where a fox is attacked by humans because of a misunderstanding... No matter what world we’re in, coming to an understanding with people is difficult.”

(Player name has been set to "Izumi".)

Part 1

Izumi: Then it looks like we’re going to end up coming back at around the same time, huh?

Sakuya: Ah, yes! Director, the roads are dangerous at night so please be careful.

Chikage: Good morning.

Izumi: Oh, Chikage-san. Good morning!

Chikage: I overheard a bit of your conversation. Seems like both of you are getting home late tonight?

Izumi: Yup, I’m going to help out at another theater, so I’ll be getting home about two hours later than usual…

Sakuya: And I’ll be working my part-time job at the daycare, and I’ll be there until everyone has been picked up, so I’ll be coming home a little late, too.

Izumi: So we were talking about how it seems like we might get home at the same time.

Chikage: Is that right… Director, is it the same theater troupe as always?

Izumi: That’s right!

Chikage: Actually, I have a meeting with a client near that theater this evening.

Chikage: I was planning on coming straight home after that, so I’ll probably be heading home around the same time that you finish helping out.

Chikage: I’ll be driving to meet with the client, so if you’d like, shall I pick you up?

Izumi: If it’s okay with you, then I’d be really grateful!

Chikage: Then I’ll pick you up. After that, Sakuya, shall I pick you up too?

Sakuya: Eh, would that be okay? [2]

Chikage: It’s on the way. Is it alright with you, director?

Izumi: Of course!

Sakuya: Thank you very much! Then, I’d like to request that pickup!

—

Chikage: Director, good work today. Hop in.

Izumi: Chikage-san, thank you!

Chikage: Did you wait long?

—

[Choose!]

I didn’t wait long!

It feels like I’m going on a date.

—

I didn’t wait long!

Izumi: No, I didn’t wait long! I only just came out.

Chikage: That’s good, then.

Izumi: I’m really happy that you came to pick me up.

Chikage: Hearing you say that makes coming to pick you up worth it.

—

It feels like I’m going on a date.

Izumi: You coming to pick me up kind of makes it feel like I’m going on a date.

Chikage: Then should we go on a drive?

Izumi: Hmm. If that’s the case, I want to go somewhere where we can see the stars clearly.

Chikage: How romantic. I expected you to ask to go to a curry place.

Izumi: If it were a real date, then of course I’d want to go to a curry restaurant! That’d make me really happy!

Chikage: Haha, as expected.

—

Chikage: Alright. Next, let’s get Sakuya.

Izumi: Right. He might already be waiting for us, so let’s hurry!

—

Izumi: Good evening!

Sakuya: Oh, director, Chikage-san!

Chikage: Seems like we’re a little early.

Sakuya: No, actually it’s already pick-up time, but…

Sakuya: I have to check in with the principal and contact this child’s parents, so while I’m out, would it be okay if you watched over him for a bit?

Izumi: Yup, that’s fine. Leave it to us!

Sakuya: Thank you so much!

Sakuya: Yuuto-kun, I’m going to call mom, so play with this big sis and big bro for a bit, okay?

Yuuto: Okaaay!

Sakuya: Then, I’ll leave it to you!

—

Part 2

Izumi: Good evening, Yuuto-kun!

Chikage: Good evening.

Izumi: Were you playing with these blocks?

Yuuto: Yeah, that’s right!

Chikage: Then how about we keep playing with them?

Yuuto: Umm… I wanna read a picture book!

Chikage: Picture book?

Izumi: Which picture book do you want?

Yuuto: Let’s seeee…

Yuuto: This one! Big sis, read this one!

Izumi: Alright. I’ll read it, so sit here, okay?

Yuuto: Okay!

—

Izumi: “... and the two of them lived happily ever after. The end.”

Yuuto: Yay! That was so fun!

Yuuto: Another one, another one!

Yuuto: Umm, which one should it be… Ah! This one!

Yuuto: Next, big bro, can you read this?

Izumi: Eh, that one…

Chikage: Hm, a fox’s story?

Yuuto: Yeah! I love foxes, so read it for me! 🥺

Chikage: Alright. Then, let’s begin.

Izumi: …

Chikage: “This happened when I was a small child…”

Yuuto: Uh-huh!

—

Chikage: This fox seems like quite the prankster.

Yuuto: That’s riiight!

Chikage: “... the day after that, it wasn’t only chestnuts, but he also left one, two, three pine mushrooms.”

Chikage: (... I see the ending of the story. Is this why the director seemed a bit off just now?)

Chikage: (Even if it did good things, it still got killed in the end… It shouldn’t have devoted itself to a person.)

Chikage: (In any case, it’s no good if I just continue reading it like this. I guess I should drag it out somehow until Sakuya comes back.)

Chikage: It seems like every day, chestnuts, pine mushrooms, and other delicious foods were placed outside this man’s house like gifts.

Chikage: It says they were hidden so that no one else would be able to see them.

Yuuto: Mister Fox is so kind~!

Chikage: … that’s right. He’s a very kind fox.

[ Sakuya comes in. ]

Sakuya: Sorry I took a while!

Sakuya: Yuuto-kun, mom will be coming to pick you up soon, so let’s get ready to go, okay?

Yuuto: Eh!? But…

Chikage: It’s already late today, so let’s continue again next time.

Yuuto: Okay, I get it… Next time!

Sakuya: Such a patient boy! Then, let’s get ready.

Yuuto: Oka~y!

[ Sakuya and Yuuto leave. ]

Izumi: Good work reading the story.

Izumi: Chikage-san is kind, huh?

Chikage: Kind?

Izumi: Yes. You thought that Yuuto-kun would be sad if he knew the ending of the story, so you extended it so that didn’t have to read the ending, right?

Chikage: I wonder. I just didn’t feel like reading it.

Izumi: Fufu, then I'll leave it at that.

[1] The name of the card in JP is 臙脂色チーター. 臙脂色 (enjiiro) is a red color which comes from the word 臙脂虫 (enjimushi), a type of bug from which the color was derived. In English, the red dye derived from this bug is "carmine", hence the title translation. Also, the story title can be more literally translated as "reading a picture book to [someone]", but that's basically storytime, and so I translated it as such.

[2] The more literal translation would be something like, "Is it okay for me to ask you to pick me up?" (オレまで迎えに来てもらっちゃっていいんですか?) But that's kind of stilted, so I went with this.

I tried acrylic painting.

I am not fond of this medium. Artists seem to like this more than watercolor. The works are mostly in abstract form. When feeling artsy but creative plans in mind, I always create abstract art.

***I used a canvas pad.

[sky-izm]

I drew a fanart Doppo Kanonzaka years ago. For me, he is the character that resonates with my life as an adult working in this capitalist world.

Sometimes I feel like I am a pre-programmed robot (which the 3rd drawing shows).

Well life...

[sky-izm]

My previous Tumblr account got deactivated probably due to my VPN.

Reintroducing myself.

Hello I am SkyIzm. I am an adult who became immersed into anime and manga during high school days. My username means SaKYo-IZuMi. They are my favorite #a3 ship. These two are the best adult romance characters in my dreams.

My hobbies are drawing fanarts, abstract art, making and original paintings. My TikTok account does not reach so many people that is why I thought of posting here instead.

Currently, I am playing Ensemble Starts!! (En) I like the gameplay but not the story. I find the story weird. Their music is superb especially the songs of Knights, Crazy:B and Valkyrie.

For the sake of nostalgia I restarted playing ObeyMe! again. I stan Lucifer with all my heart. Never mind the other boys I like Lucifer.

I cannot play A3! since the English version ended its service years ago. I only rely on fan translations of the events. A3! the first joseimuke I played religiously. They are my virtual family. The game made me feel a lot of different emotions.

Lastly, I became a fan of HANA from NonoGirls audition project. They are not idols but artists. The girls can sing live while dancing their difficult choreography. For me, those young women taught me, an adult suffering from a midlife crisis not to give up.

Too much about myself.

Attached are my old fanarts.
