[うたプリライエモ] Uta no Prince-sama LIVE EMOTION 2024 Birthday Greetings Translation
(Side: HE★VENS)
*T/N: I did this on a whim but I did promise some utapri content, so.
Eiichi: Happy birthday. I have half the mind to celebrate your birthday with everyone else and go out with a bang, but I hope to spend today alone with you.
Eiichi: Looking back at it now, our meeting must have been an act of fate. If there was one word to describe it, it would be “destiny”.
Eiichi: Thank you, for being born in the same lifetime as me. Let me show you the feelings I have that can’t be conveyed through words alone on our date to come.
Kira: Happy… birthday. First and foremost… I wanted to tell you that before anything… else.
Kira: Words cannot describe my feelings… for you… even if I had a day. That’s just how… deep… my feelings are.
Kira: Are you… frustrated? In that case… I will put my emotions into song. Please accept it…
Nagi: Happy birthday~✰ Nagi doesn’t mind singing you a birthday song to celebrate♪
Nagi: But I’d be in quite the pickle if you got too absorbed in be just because I did that as fanservice. Oh, look at yourself!
Nagi: You can’t go making that face in front of others. You can only pull that sorta face in front of Nagi, okay? Promise me?
Eiji: Happy birthday! It might seem like I’m exaggerating, but I’ve really been looking forward to this day.
Eiji: Even just the thought of it makes me happy… In fact, my life has felt fulfilling ever since I met you.
Eiji: Let me tell you my honest feelings so that I don’t leave any regrets. Thank you, always. Stay by me forever, alright?
Van: Happy birthday! Your smile’s lookin’ especially cute today.
Van: Is it really alright for me to think of ‘ya that way? I’m glad if it is!
Van: I did think of puttin’ an end to this joke but, nah. I’d like for ‘ya to keep smilin.
Yamato: It’s your birthday today? Now that’s a cause to celebrate! And celebrations call for cake! And we’re definitely gonna go for a run after the cake!
Yamato: But well… you only get a birthday once per year, so maybe it’s alright to loosen up a little.
Yamato: Is it that surprising? Hey now, that smile on your face is something I’d never get tired of seeing.
Shion: Today is the day you were blessed with life unto this realm. It is a joy to give you my well-wishes in person…
Shion: The time spent with you is as comfy as napping under a spot of sunlight. It is something that nothing else can compare to.
Shion: It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no greater happiness than that. If I have to stake my all into doing so, so be it as it may, but allow me to express my gratitude today.

Sh This hair, these eyes, even these fingertips
Ng My whole body trembles in joy
Ej These emotions
Sh Yes, all of them
I’ll dedicate it all to you alone… Ah
The meaning of loneliness and solitude

Ng Even though I know that day is coming soon
Ki Even if my voice is stolen and I can’t stand up anymore
Ej Even in the days when my tears dry up
Ya I know I can become someone else’s wings
Va Shall I charm you and take you away?
Ei To -HE★VENS-

Loving yourself, being loved, and loving someone else
We can do that eternally
So let’s embrace each other here
Oh miracle, may you shine across the sky and beyond
Let the wings of song flutter gracefully
Make your strength and your courage transform into musical notes
That’ll write a new story
Believe in it and follow me

(4/6) Mikado Nagi's Private Story [Utapri Live Emotion]
Ch 1: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 6 with Nagi)
-Hotel Lobby-
Haruka: (Looks like there's still some time left before the new program's production presentation begin…guess I'll just wait here and look at the materials)
Haruka: (Its content is educational variety and one of the main MC is--)
Nagi: …Wah!!
Haruka: Eh, Nagi-kun? …Kya!
Nagi: Hey! If you keep that up, you'll fall…!
-
Nagi: ….Sigh, that was dangerous. Geez, why are you so clumsy?
-
Nagi: No matter how you look at it, you acted way too surprised just because I called you from behind. Even though you were supposed to be a working adult, that was so pathetic.
Nagi: And to think that I took time to call you out. If you were somehow to fall just now that would make me look like I'm the bad guy, yknow?
Haruka: Fufu, I'm sorry. Thank you for helping me out.
Haruka: I came here at the invitation from a producer that I know, and by chance I was just about to go and greet Nagi-kun.
Nagi: Hmm~? So you were looking for Nagi. But, if you think just normal greeting works on me then you're wrong!
Nagi: There has to be something more that you need to say to me, right? Can you give me words that will make Nagi happy?
Haruka: Yes! To think that you were selected as one of the main MC, that's so amazing. Congratulations…!
Nagi: Why of course, it's Nagi after all! Educational program fits exactly for a genius like me♪
Nagi: With an incredibly cute MC such as me, there's no doubt that I'll make everyone smile in front of the TV☆
Ch 2: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 11 with Nagi)
-Hotel Lobby-
Nagi: That's the news site, and over there is the TV crew. Looks like there's a lot of media assembled here.
Nagi: If it's like this then that means I can show a lot of people to a cutie Nagi. Make sure you also check me out too okay!
Haruka: I'm looking forward to it! The starting time starts soon right…
Nagi: Somehow people over there are quite in a hurry~? …Staff-san, is there something wrong?
Nagi: Eh… The host announcer can't come? Isn't that a pretty bad situation?
Haruka: That's right. Even if we managed to find a substitute, we have to at least delay the start time…
Nagi: There's no need to do that. We also don't have to go search for a replacement. Who do you think is standing in front of everyone right now?
Nagi: It's Mikado Nagi, the cutest and most genius in the universe! Leave the hosting to me, I'll do it in a flash.
Haruka: (Certainly… Nagi-kun will be able to do it right away. But as expected, it's difficult to host without any preparations.)
Haruka: (If I could somehow prepare something in this remaining time… Ah, those materials over there…)
(choices)
<I found the script>
Haruka: I found the host's script. Here it is.
Nagi: Nagi is perfectly fine even if he doesn't look at it though~? But, well, I should at least give my thanks to you. Thank you.
Nagi: The MC's talk, explanation of the program content, Q&A session… looks it all went pretty much just as planned.
<Sound and lighting instructions!>
Haruka: Here is the sound and lighting instructions! If there's anything that needs to be changed, let me know and I'll pass that to the other staffs.
Nagi: Heh~ That's very thoughtful of you. Since Nagi will be doing both the performing and hosting duties, we need to make him stand out even more.
Nagi: For the BGM… can I ask you to play it during this timing? Also, put the pin spotlight on Nagi over here!
(back to story)
Nagi: Yup, it's all perfect! No one ever expects me to be the host, so it's going to be a fun surprise to everyone.
Nagi: Make sure to pay attention on me okay, Haruka. That camera over there and this camera right here, Nagi will take them all!
Ch 3: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 21 with Nagi)
-Hotel Lobby-
Nagi: Hi everyone~ Thank you for joining us! Nagi will be your special host for today☆
Nagi: Fufu, were you surprised~? Then the surprise was a huge success! I hope you can keep your eyes upon Nagi's brilliant performance, okay.
Nagi: Now then without further ado, let me introduce you to the members who will be helping me here together to make this show even more exciting. Let's give them a big round of applause♪
Haruka: (Amazing… While he manages to deliver words that needs to be conveyed, he also livens up the atmosphere with Nagi-kun's usual way of speaking)
Haruka: (To think that he was able to easily handle the role of a host on such a short notice, Nagi-kun, you're so amazing…!)
-
Nagi: And that's all for the production presentation. Please look forward to it until the broadcast date, okay! Bye-bye~☆
-
Haruka: Nagi-kun, thank you for all of your hard work! I was very impressed with how amazing you handle your role as the announcer host, I even forgot that you're supposed to just be a sudden substitute…!
Nagi: Geez~ You're exaggerating a lot. But well, I knew how you feel. I mean, it turned out to be more than perfect after all☆
Nagi: Getting a perfect 100 score is a given. But the one who manages to get a result of 120 score is Nagi!
Haruka: All of the staff members around were also grateful to Nagi-kun, you know.
Nagi: I only did it because it would be a problem for me if the time was delayed. It's a new program after all, so you have to make a good first impression.
Nagi: But, thanks to Nagi's brilliant way as a host, all of the expectations have risen. There's no doubt that this program will sure be a big hit♪
Haruka: Yes! I can't wait for the broadcast date either.
Nagi: If that's the case, then why don't you go and check out during our recording later? You're probably curious how Nagi being an ultra cute MC, right!
Nagi: This is not all that I have in store. I'll show you more just how charming Nagi is☆
Ch 4: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 31 with Nagi)
-Photographic Studio-
Haruka: …And done. After that… Eh? The one standing there, isn't that… Nagi-kun!
Nagi: Hm…Haruka? What, I didn't knew you were also in this studio too.
Nagi: Looking at you now… It looks like you've just finished saying goodbye to all of the people involved, and was on your way going home…I guess?
Haruka: Eh… Wow, you're amazing! How did you knew all that?
Nagi: Looking at the jacket that you were about to put on, plus the pass that you're holding in your hands. It was all obvious☆
Nagi: Hey, if you're free after this then come with me. There's a cafe nearby that I want to check out.
Haruka: Wow, that looks fun. But, are you really okay going with me? I don't know whether Nagi will enjoy it or not…
Nagi: Geez~ Nagi's the one who's inviting you, so of course it's perfectly okay☆
Nagi: Stop worrying about unnecessary things. As long as you're with me, that's more than enough.
Nagi: Come on, stop hesitating. Let's go!
-
Haruka: This… isn't this a cafe that's currently trending on social media right now.
Nagi: That's right! I heard that they also served cute foods and drinks too. So I wanted to come here for at least once. The menu is…
Nagi: What will you order? With so many options here, it's hard to choose right!
Nagi: Whoa… this, isn't this very lovely? This one is colorful. Oh, they also have one with Nagi's color too!
Nagi: Hmmm, each one of them is cute but… Maybe I'll order the pancake. Ah, this one…!

Ai: It is interesting that towards the end of the song, when the 18 of us sing together, the position of the five of us splits into two, with me in the center.
Ai: On the right are Natsuki and Yamato, who are large and adult-like, and on the left are Syo and Nagi, who are small and cute.
Nagi: Nagi may be small and cute, but my feelings are the greatest, so I’ll make the audience more excited than anyone else.
Natsuki: Wah! You’re so lovely, Nagi-kun! Not only are you cute but you’re also cool! Gyuu!
Syo: W-Wait a minute!!
Nagi: Woah!
Syo: Wait, Natsuki! Don’t go hugging Nagi! If you’re gonna do that, it should be with the super cool me.
Natsuki: I understand. Of course, Syo-chan is always cute and cool too. Gyuu!
Syo: Argh! I got it, but-! You’re squeezing too hard!!
Nagi: Jeez, what are you two doing? It can’t be helped. Nagi will teach you how to hug more cutely. Come here for a second, Natsuki.
Natsuki: Okay. Is it okay if I just wait here like this?
Nagi: Yes. Lean down a bit more. Like that. Here we go. Gyuu~ Then let’s both look at Syo and wink! How was that?
Natsuki: It makes it look like we get along well, which is very good.
Syo: Wow, that was damn clean.
Yamato: Hey, Natsuki. If you have any energy left over, be my opponent.
Natsuki: Really? That sounds fun too.
Ai: That kind of thing should be done after practice, not now. Incidentally, I'm pretty confident in my own skills though.
Syo: I mean, I'm not losing either. I'm not talking about height or arm wrestling! What's needed for a live performance is spirit! I'm going to put my heart and soul into singing and dancing for my fans.
Yamato: Yeah, exactly. I can’t waste time. I need more stamina to put on the best live performance I can. Should I increase my training? First, 500 push-ups!
Syo: No, that's ridiculous. We finished practicing the basics and now it's time for the dance lesson.
Yamato: Don't be so rigid about something being a little out of order. Let's do it together! 1, 2, 3…
Syo: I haven't said I'm going to do it yet! Ah, damn it!
Yamato: 4, 5, 6…
Syo: 7, 8, 9, 10
Ai: Okay. I'll leave the push-ups to you two. Shall the rest of us go over the moves again?
Natsuki: Yes! That’s right, Nagi-kun. How about we try to incorporate a moment of interaction with the fans like we did just now in the song?
Nagi: That might be good. Let’s see…
Syo: (out of breath) Hey, don't just leave me like this, do something about it!!
Ai: (sigh) It can’t be helped… Yamato! Let's stop that for now. Since we're all here, let's all review the choreography together so that we're all in sync.
Yamato: Now that you mention it, you’re right. Got it.
Syo: Thank god! I'm so glad Ai’s here.
Natsuki: Ai-chan is our center not only in that part of the choreography but also figuratively.
Nagi: I guess I can kinda see it.
Yamato: Natsuki, that was a good line!
Syo: I feel like having Ai in the group gives it a nice balance. Let the five of us create a new harmony.
Ai: I think I understand what everyone is trying to say. Well, thank you. Now then, I think we should get back to the lesson. After this, Syo and Yamato will do push-ups. Let's start again from the beginning.
Yamato: Sounds good. It’s the perfect schedule.
Syo: Let’s do that. I’ll do my best!
Natsuki: Then I'd like to join in on the push-ups too.

The style of the main stories in Live Emotion reminds me a lot of the original visual novels that inspired the UtaPri franchise as a whole. This is one of the first times we've gotten to see HE★VENS in this format, and it's got me wondering:
By "secret," I mean information that we haven't officially gotten yet, similar to the impressively dramatic backstories you unlock in the VNs by having Haruka date each character.
Please do share propaganda in reblogs/comments/tags! I have some theories of my own, but I'm curious to see what y'all think.
