[Kanji/Romaji/English Lyrics] Kuga Shu x Tsukigami Kaito - “By Your Side”

It’s time for Room 206 combi’s duet song~! It really pairs well with FIND OUT as part of the CD but, it’s so much more wholesome than you’d think~! It’s so cute to listen to. Somehow it’s sorrowful yet hopeful.

「By Your Side」

KANJI:

静かな夜に踊る

Brand new star

届くまで俺たちは手を伸ばす

口にすれば 安っぽく なることも知っている

ENGLISH:

  I keep on moving on.

I keep on dreaming on.

  The sunset’s glow falls and lights up the room.

And I get home from my part-time job earlier than usual.

  “The drawing you left here looks so cryptic.”

“Is it because it’s too awesome?”

“It’s obviously not a compliment.”

These are the kinds of ordinary days we live through.

  Only sometimes I’m by your side.

We chase our dreams.

We have the same drive as the seasons quickly pass by.

The moment that we share it, we’ll be able to feel it.

Our relationship is not that of “close friends” nor “family”.

But before I noticed it, you were right there with me.

Just like the moon in the sky.**

  I keep on moving on.

I keep on dreaming on.

  “Hey, I’ve got a new musical DVD.”

“If you have time today, would you like to watch it together?”

  It’s a step-up from the level we were in.

The way your eyes gaze is great, too.

I want to be able to clear this step.

And then, a brand new star will be dancing

on this clear and quiet night.

  And then I’m by your side.

Until our emotions reach each other, we’ll continue holding our hands out.

We both know that putting these into words will make it sound cheap.

Our harmony will support each other through the quiet, strong emotions.

The time we look at is unchanging.

The moon still lights up the sky.

  We continue looking straight ahead.

We face what’s beyond,

match our voices, and challenge what’s waiting.

We’ll run through to our tomorrow.

Our relationship is not that of “close friends” nor “family”.

But before I noticed it, you were right there with me.

Just like the moon in the sky.

  We keep on moving on.

We keep on dreaming on.

Translator’s Notes:

** Remember how Team Otori’s members have kanji characters in their names that mean something related to the sky?

Like so:

Hoshitani = [星/hoshi/star] Nayuki = [雪/yuki/snow] Tengenji = [天/ten/heaven]

 Kuga is written as [空閑] but the [空/ku] character can be read as [sora/sky]. Kaito’s name is written as [月皇] where [月/tsuki] means [moon]. Hence the line, [空の月のように/Just like the moon in the sky.]

Starmyu

Seasons: 2

Episodes: 24

Ova: 2

Status: Finished

Genres: Music, School, Slice of Life

Story

When Yuta Hoshitani was in middle school he came across a high schooler dancing beautifully with the insignia of the musical department of Ayanagi Academy. Now, that Yuta is in high school he continues to hold admiration for that high schooler and wish to one day meet him and perform together with him. Thus, on his way to become a member of the musical department of Ayanagi Academy he is met with four other student named Nayuki Toru, Tengenji Kakeru, Kuga Shu,Tsukigami Kaito. Hence, each share their own inspirations and reasons for joining Ayanagi Academy. So, will Yuta ever meet his role model? There is only one way to find out which is to join Yuta on this metaphorical climb up this inspiring story of trial and error. 

Review

​Starmyu...If I had to use one word to describe this anime as a whole it would be inspiration. I really fell in love with majority of the characters besides Akatsuki Kyoji. I was very annoyed with his actions in the first season and how he treated Otori and Otori’s chosen team which was blame in association. To think he would not give Otori’s team a chance to become something great Ugh! Well I understand now that he only wanted Otori to not run away. But there are other ways of doing that and using his team against him is not.

Furthermore, I would have to recommend that if you do watch both seasons of Starmyu please Please! watch the ova associated with the season because you would feel less confuse at the beginning of season two. See I usually watch all the main episodes first before I look at any ovas because I noticed that normally ovas isn’t really impacting the main story that much. However, in the case of Starmyu it leads you into the next season so that you have an understanding of what's to come.

So you can imagine when the second season started and the other members was baffle of the fact that Yuta didn’t remember that Otori and the other senpai’s was graduating was a little like ok how would he know because there was no mention in the last season. Though little did I know it was mentioned and addressed in the first ova. So don’t do I like did and binge watch through to the second season without looking at the ova. Also, be prepare for a lot and I mean a lot of walking away (i.e. looking at Otori’s back as he walks away from situations. I’m sorry...I can’t count the number of times Otori or even other characters who just walked away when a certain situation doesn't suit them.)

Now, I got to mention this as a fellow fushoji. I haven’t felt this true connection between two characters in a while since Yuri on Ice with Victor and Yuri. Thus the connection I am talking about is between Otori and Yuta especially in the second season. Everytime they shared a screen together it was just so cute and adorable. Gosh...Yuta was acting like a school girl with a crush everytime he came in contact with Otori. 

Another thing is you know that their relationship is not meant to be taking out of contexts like Victor and Yuri’s relationship. But you just can’t help it when there are little hints here and there. Man...I didn’t squeal so loud in my life (expect with Victor and Yuri) when Otori join in the dance with Yuta and the rest of the members of Stardust. It was just so beautiful and just...right. I can’t wait to see what Starmyu has instore for us in the future.

So, for similar animes to Starmyu. I would say Uta no Prince sama, Yuri on Ice, Shounen Hollywood: Holly Stage for 49 and 50, B-Project, and Magic-Kyun! Renaissance because of the inspiration to become something more than just a “normal” existence.

Similarities

Inspiration

Role models

Entertainment world(i.e. music, idols, acting, and modeling)

Friendships

Hints of yaoi

Lead male characters doubting their worth

Teams/Groups

High School

Dark past/undertone

Recommendation

Therefore, I recommend Starmyu for those who like a story that is filled with inspiring feelings of the development in character’s dreams and hopes of becoming a better existence (or number one).  Thus, Starmyu will be a good pick for you if you want something very similar to Uta no Prince sama, Yuri on Ice, Shounen Hollywood: Holly Stage for 49 and 50, B-Project, and Magic-Kyun! Renaissance.

[michelecandraw]

Do you happen to know which starmyu pairings are the most popular/considered canon among the Japanese fandom (and is kuganayu among them)?

I’m not a total expert, and let me say this is all my observations:Tatsumi x Eigo (the Elegance Pair)  and Uozomi x Haruto are pretty much given.  

Hoshitani + everyone is pretty popular?  Hoshinayu (big/or the fans are just more hi key, not really sure yet), Hoshitori, Hoshitsuki (got bigger after their duet), Hoshikuga, you get my point.  Like I’ve seen a lot of pairs with him.  

I haven’t seen Hoshiten though!

Guess the same can be said for Kuga (though i don’t actively look for anything that’s not Kuganayu for this).

Speaking of which, Kuganayu is actually the rare pair.  Like fans are there, but more lowkey compared to others.  Such a tiny community! >There’s more attention now after Episode 9, it’s like this sleepy fandom woke up!  Even those who don’t ship it comment that it was a moment.  

OH! And best of all!  Ugawa + Nayuki is the brotp everyone is gushing about right now. ^__^;

---

Non-Spoiler Review: I think this is the most well produced musical I’ve seen live from 2.5. And yes that means I think it’s better than TouMyu in terms of dance and singing skills. This is very faithful to the anime BUT they’ve taken one major point out so they could put one entire season of the anime into a 2 hour  30 minute musical. Overall the actors performances were great and while some characterizations were off, I was completely in this world and was with these characters and I enjoyed myself immensely. If you’re a fan of the anime and the actors then you’re going to love this. Rating: 9/10

---

I’ll try and remain un-bias BUT that ain’t going to happen, because in my opinion: I freaking loved it and think it’s the most highly produced musical I’ve ever seen in person! But anyway, onto the long review!

I was super lucky to get smack bang in the middle on the 8th row! It was surprisingly close! Also the girl next to me was Chinese and the girl in front of me is/was rank 581 on Ensemble Stars (a mobile game I am somewhat obsessed with).

Okay now to head into spoiler territory.

General/Random Comments:

Ohhhh a great thing about being smack in the middle and 8th row(!!!) is that it’s perfect height for where the actors naturally just look out blankly so it looks like they’re looking straight at you even though you can tell they’re just starring out into nothing in concentration but it was a nice feeling xD

By the intermission I was convinced I needed to get Shougo and Keito’s bromides and naturally once the show finished I did! ^_^ BUT one thing you all ought to know about me; I am a person who HATES intermissions. I cannot stand them. Unless they’re like TouMyu (or the last K stage)’s where it’s a break between the stage and the live, (those I can deal with) BUT any other type of intermission, I do NOT want. Because everytime there’s an intermission my energy and hyperness for the stage goes. I get drained instantly and slumpy. And the intermission in StarMyu was no different. The first half of this musical, I was pumped, I was loving every part, I was drinking it all in. POST intermission; I can’t even tell you what happened the first 10 or 20 minutes to be honest, I vaguely remember and knowing the anime I know what happened. However, due to the intermission, at the beginning of part two, I was so taken out of it and I started feeling uncomfortable and sleepy << this is what I call my ‘Post Intermission Slumb’ and it happens ALL the freaking time. So yes I would rather have watched this 2 hour 30 minute play without a break. Hell I managed TouStage which was OVER 3 hours without a break. PLEASE stop doing intermissions stages and musicals, for my concentration’s sake! *cries* xD

About the Performances:

Everyone is a really good singer. I was a little unsure about Sugie and Takahashi before they started but they were good; you can tell Takahashi has definitely improved once again since I last saw him, and while Sugie couldn’t really sing high notes, he matched really well with others; especially his duet with Otori their voices matches very well. Yuzuki sounded a little rough in his first song, but was fine in the rest of the songs. Also Yuzuki does my pet peeve of miming along to other people’s lyrics in songs... I really hate when people do that... it’s why I hated Fujigaya for KisMyFt2 for the longest time. I can’t stand people who mime to other peoples lines in songs... it’s a strange pet peeve I know but... moving on(!)...

The ensembles’ dancing was so flawless and fluid and fun to watch! Also, speaking of dancing, I really enjoyed Sugie’s solo part where he had to dance and he can dance damn well! I enjoyed it a lot!

Of course I shed a tear just after the boys learnt Otori had gone and Hoshitani is like a lost soul and all ‘but what do we do now?! We need Otori! I need Otori!’ and then when Otori turns up and is like ‘it’s not me you need, it’s your team mates’ and they do a duet together and yes the feels were hit.

BUT I’m a little annoyed they didn’t do my favourite Nayuki x Hoshitani scene. They started the scene where Nayuki is like ‘we need you! you’re our leader! Without you, I would never have gotten into this group! Without you, this team wouldn’t be as great’ and I was sat there like ‘come on with the ‘I like you’ Nayuki, come on!’ and Nayuki goes ‘I have something I want to say’ and I thought ‘it’s here!’ but he ends up saying something else and I was like ‘NOOOOO! You’re supposed to tell him you like him!!!’ so I was upset they cut that out BUT I can understand why they cut it out.... but still -__-

Also I wish we got full performances from Team Hiragi and Team Otori. How they did it was they would do the opening properly singing and performing, and then in order to cut to the council members talking, the music would quieten and their voice on the CD/song would continue quietly while they continued dancing and lipsyncing the lyrics. I just want FULL performances!! No one cares what the Student Council think!! Just give us a full performance! Having the constant switch between them properly performing and them pulling the spotlights on the student council was too distracting and we ALL know we’re there for Team Otori and Team Hiragi (both characters and actors) so why do that?!

Seriously that pirate performance!!!! I was looking forward to it ever since my friend, Emma, mentioned and reminded me that Team Hiragi’s theme is pirates! I love almost anything to do with pirates so when they came on, I was like ‘YES!!!!’ And we got to see them on boat which had been made from the stairs and apparatus’, and they got swords and were fighting as well as dancing and singing and it was so god!! They all sounded awesome together too!

Although, I feel like the ending was rushed a little. It felt like very quickly the storm came and very quickly Team Hiragi walked in and was like ‘here’s what you can do!’ and then Team Hiragi performed and straight away after that Team Otori performed and it ENDED as soon as Team Otori finished their song(!). Meaning that there were no competition results or anything. In fact they didn’t really even state it was a competition, just that they all had to perform. So that’s a major part of the plot that they took out to save time. But, as stated, I didn’t like that ending. I would’ve preferred there to be a little more; for example: they perform and Otori shows up and says they did well or like they finish performing and they’re like ‘lets continue and do better next time *star sign* yay!’ and finish. Just a bit more something rather than ‘perform *black out* curtain call’ which was a bit too quick for me.

I noticed and felt during the curtain call that a tear or two fell down the sides of my face, and I was like ‘what?...damn I enjoyed it that much?’ normally I’m completely aware of when I’m crying but they just slipped out this time to my surprise. 

The curtain calls were so cute for several reasons! First was at the end of the first curtain call Naoya put his arm around Keito, and Keito put his around Naoya’s and they walked off xD Then during the speeches Sugie pointed out that three of the guys (Akira, Yuzuki and someone else) were still 19 and then he went ‘and then this guy. This 30 year old! Oi!!! 30 year old!’ and Kiyama had his back to Sugie and eventualy turned around and went ‘oh me? Nah I’m still 19 too!’ xD Then, at the end of the second curtain call I saw Keito and Naoya practically walk off holding hands <3 Keito waited til the view could be almost fully blocked, but he very obviously looked down to see where Naoya’s hand was and then latched on xD it was adorable!!!!

Individual Remarks:

Team Otori Sugie Taishi as Hoshitani Yuta: As mentioned before, he wasn’t the best singer but he was good eough and he matched during duets and in group songs with the other members very well! I’ve seen him sing quite a few times and for some reason I still always sit and wonder ‘can this guy even sing?!’ xD 

I think Sugie tripped up the stairs when he was on the phone to Shouta in the cat searching scene, but it was so funny and cute and it totally fit his character so it was okay xD also towards the end of the lunch box ‘fight’, someone (I think Akira) grabbed onto Sugie who then grabbed onto Kiyama (by mistake it seemed or too forceful than he should’ve) and Kiyama tried to get out of it and ran across the stage going ‘my hair!!’ xD

Yamanaka Shouta as Nayuki Toru: His voice is so high! It was a perfect fit for Nayuki and I think he did a great job as Nayuki too! Unfortauntely not as cute BUT he did the personality perfectly. Also he’s got really nice legs. Not the skinny rat ones like more Japanese actors (I’m looking at you Keito, Takahashi, dare I go on.), he has proper, decent looking legs that look like they’ve got some sort of muscle build xD and he’s short enough that his legs look cute haha ALSO fucking Takahashi is a giant! He looked so ridiculous next to EVERYONE, especially Shouta because of the eight difference xD good job TonChan didn’t do this stage >.< oh god help us in HakuMyu... by the way, I’ve met Ton-Chan, just rubbing that in there xD ANYWAY! I am happy with Yamanaka’ overall performance of Nayuki *thumbs Up*

Arthur Lounsberry as Tsukigami Kaito: Seriously, Arthur though must burn at least 3000 calories a day just from his blinking! I’ve never seen anyone blink so much in my life! I was starting to crack up because of how much he blinked xD Also, maybe it’s because Arthur is a newbie actor (?) or just because he wanted to make the character more serious but I felt his Tsukigami was very unemotional. He had the exact same expression the entire way through. His face just stayed the same, even when he was singing there was no alteration to his facial features which I found a little unnerving and makes me feel like he’s a bit of an amateur actor. BUT I am wiling to give the StarMyu Anime a THIRD viewing just to prove it is just part of the character rather than Arthur himself. I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt. But yeah, the lack of facial expression and/or change in his face, even when singing, was something that really drew my attention. 

Suzuki Shougo as Tengenji Kakeru: Do I really need to talk about this mother chucker of a stage god?Seriously, Shougo... seriously! It’s Shougo! I could listen to him sing all day! He completely takes the room and his voice is so nice! Seriously, does he not have any solo singles or albums out?! I want them!! I want them all! And just as I predicted he looked  MUCH better in real life as Tengenji unlike that AWFUL visual poster we got to begin with xD his bromides are nice too! *see bottom of post* Shougo did his job, he did a brilliant job, I thoroughly loved his solo song performance and his kimono costume and fan for it. Also the ‘acting’ scene with Takahashi with is momentarily them pretending to be Romero (Taka) and Juliet (Shougo) was hilarious. Shougo never backs down from comedy and always gives his all <3 OH MY! His cat scene too was COMPLETELY adorable!! <3

Takahashi Kensuke as Kuga Shu: Holy moly Takahashi! Whenever he was on stage too, I could not look away. He’s just LONG; his legs and arms are so long and skinny. AND it did not help that every movement he did was just so sexy; he was just dripping in sexiness seriously - and I don’t even think he was trying to be sexy all the time(!). BUT I also could not unsee Hachi and Ultraman in this face xD And, as said before, he towered over everyone which was super funny especially when he was stood next to poor Shouta xD 

Takahashi played Kouga a bit more openly and more talkative than I would’ve wanted. In the anime Kuga is very reserved and a man of few words and only really speaks when necessary but in this I noticed Takahashi was WHOLE monologues and tons of lines, and I personally feel that’s NOT the Kuga I know BUT Takahashi is a suave and popular guy, I guess you just gotta give him more lines (so he gets more money). But on a positive, Kuga turned out to be such a sweetie and so adorable, for example: when he’s playing the piano and then eats ramen (which he actually did on stage!), but when he’s finished, his stomach rumbles (pretty sure this is a scene in the anime too) but denies to Nayuki that he’s still hungry but Nayuki makes him food anyway <3 ; another part is towards the end when Hoshitani learns that his luck for the day is really bad unless he shakes hands with someone and he pulls a hand out to Tengenji who rejects him, then to Tsukigami who also rejects him, and then Kuga holds his hand out but because Hoshitani has his back to him only the audience and Tengenji sees and everyone is like ‘awwww’ while Hoshitani and Nayuki decide to shake hands instead. But then an announcement comes out so Nayuki moves before Hoshitani can shake his hand so another awwww from the audience xD poor Hoshitani, but mainly poor Kuga xD

Team Hiragi:

Sakurai Keito as Rui Tatsumi: Keito... Keito is so freaking precious guys! First he super suits the whole short blonde hair and green eyes! Seriously he looks so good!! Secondly, Keito is freaking adorable, and his legs are so tiny! Thirdly, he can dance and sing and is so cute!!! Did a mention who cute, precious and adorable he is? Because seriously, he is! He did a great Rui which when I first saw the announcement, I wasn’t sure about BUT Keito really does have this softness and delicacy to him that i can now totally see why they hired him for Rui. Also during the fight scene between Hoshitani and Ugawa and Keito puts a hand in front of Ugawa or pulls him back and is like ‘no’ and how Ugawa just obeys him! I really liked their interactions with each other in the stage! And there’s a cute part/adlib with Tanzawa which I’ll mention later. Keito as a pirate seriously! I am so glad I got his bromides and his sakura bromide is the best! I kind like how awkward he looks in the bromides even though he DOES look much better in real life. He’s like Takasaki Shouta; more more handsome in person than in photos. Keito can do no wrong <3 Guys, I could VERY easily become a Keito fan, but I’m not gunna allow myself... for many reasons... but seriously... I really do enjoyed whatever the hell he does.

Kitagawa Naoya as Sawatari Eigo: I’m going to be honest, I purpose didn’t pay attention to him all that much BECAUSE I know my friend is seeing the stage for him very soon and I didn’t wanna pay attention and end up spoiling his performance for her ^_^ BUT what I will say is that I enjoyed his performance and he looked really good in the pirate suit and eye patch. He seemed to get along ell with everyone too ^_^ and suited his character. I don’t think he got as much stage time and lines as I was expecting though...

Tanzawa Seiji as Inumine Seishiro: Tanzawa was the comedy relief of the musical. In all honesty, actually, it got about 30 minutes into the musical, and I noticed there hadn’t been ANY comedic relief, and I was starting to worry a bit that this wasn’t going to have any Higawari’s or comedy relief or anything, but then this dumbo walked in and he was so sweet and silly and innocent, but he’s so dumb, but so funny!

Towards the end of the musical, Inu and the gang walk in to say they’ll help Otori team, and Inu throws his icecream (which is a plushie) up to Rui/Keito and unfortunately Keito caught the cream side rather than the cone side and the entire audience started laughing, and Keito just looked at his catch very unimpressed and without even cracking, and slolwly grabbed the cone side. Then Inu decided to climb UP the pole to get to the upper stage which was also hilarious because the pole is RIGHT next to the stairs which also lead up to the upper stage and Ugawa was just looking at him and the stairs like ‘use the stairs idiot’ xD

Takano Akira as Toraishi Izumi: As soon as he came on stage I immediately remembered why he looked so damn familiar. It’s so weird that I’ve seen this kid since he was like 12... he’s growing up so well! Also he reminds me a lot of Suzuki Katsuhiro in terms of how he looks. I really, really enjoyed (maybe a bit too much) his grey t-shirt that he wore when they were in their practise gear. His shirt is like wide at the top so you can get a good view of his collar bone and stuff - I am just a walking pervert aren’t I... he’s done quite a lot of 2.5 and I’d like to see his other performances, especially his Ichigo. Oh my! His profile is now EX-Dream5 member! So he left to persure 2.5 and acting instead?! wow.... oh wait, they disbanded last year?! Oh this all makes so much sense... anyway(!). I do this this kid will go far, he always had potential, even when he debuted as Dream5, so I’m excited to see what other stages and such he does in the future.

Hoshimoto Yuzuki as Ugawa Akira: I really don’t have much to say about him... I don’t know how to explain my thoughts on his as Ugawa without some people possible taking it the wrong way but the only ways I can describe it is; he played Ugawa very feminine and too feminine, which I never saw in his character in the anime, and I also feel like Yuzuki didn’t play him like a little shit enough. It just sounded like he was moaning the entire time rather than being a mean little shit that he is in the anime. He just wasn’t the juicy little shit that I wanted to back hand which I what you would expect from a performance of Ugawa.

Student Council: Hatakeyama Ryo as Hiragi Tsubasa: I thought I knew Hatakeyama from somewhere! As soon as he came on stage I thought ‘he looked awfully familiar’ and while he does have the face that quite a few other actors have, when I saw his profile and saw he was in Brother’s Complex, I was like ‘that!!’ xD OH HE WAS ALSO IN SAIYUKI!!! THAT’S HOW I DAMN KNOW HIM!! He’s been in Haikyuu, Amnesia, Kuroko no Basket also, so he’s not exactly unknown xD 

Kiyama Haruki as Otori Itsuki: You could tell as soon as Kiyama came on stage that he’s supposed to be in the west end and on broadway. His performance is/was flawless and so captivating, but also has a very narcissistic vibe, and full of ego that it’s obvious he’s from that side of the theatre world. I think he was a bit too egotistic for Otori. Nevertheless, I think he gave an amazing performance, and (like I said) his dances and his singing was flawless and you could not look away when he was on stage. Although BECAUSE of his background, at the beginning of the musical he got two whole (FULL!) songs to perform which I feel is unfair, especially when at the end, the two teams only get to do like half a performance. I understand that because of his background and experience, he’s more capable of pulling off a full performance or two but he is not the main character, so why does he get to do TWO full performances when the main guys got only half a performance? That’s where I think it’s unfair, but I understand WHY he got to do it. I just want to see my boys do a full song performance okay... =[ 

Not going to like, I didn’t pay even a milisecond of attention to these three; Takizawa Ryo as Akatsuki Kyoji, Tsurimoto Minami as Yuzuriha Christian Lion and Taka as Sazanami Sakuya, EXCEPT I strongly feel like Taka lipsynced the opening song while the other 4 were clearly singing, because he hardly moved his mouth... but other than that, I do not remember their performances at all.

And finally Ensemble: I already talked about how amazing their dance performances were and one of them did catch my eye but I can’t tell you who it is unless I research how tall they all all; pretty much the tallest one is the one who caught my attention.

And that’s my review done! I hope that was good enough ^_^

Now the goodies:

Look how adorably awkward Keito looks!! Also Shougo is freaking flawless and beautiful as usual <3

I hope you enjoyed that! Have a good evening, day, night, whenever you read this!ke

A few of my many OTPs from Starmyu!! ^-^

[redricepaddy]

Starmyu’s only a bright and sunshine anime, y’know? (S2Ep3 thoughts)

(Wall of text ahead, broken english + spoilers in case you haven’t seen it)

To me, it was alright! It feels quite like a filler episode but everything was cute, I’ll let it slide. Everyone’s there but certain somebody only appears briefly without any lines (I’m looking at you Inumineee.). And the former Kao Council also MIA, oh I know, they’re preparing something for these Flowers right??

I’m glad the main character finally had the spotlight on him, Hoshitani’s Rising Star that piqued Uozumi’s interest. Nayuki Siblings are so cute, the sisters should appear again. Tatsumi, you’re the man in this episode!! As expected from you, Hime-senpai. Knight-senpai was only escorting but I love Yuma-taso’s voice, it’s so soothing. And that young!Otori is so beautiful I cried. It’s a mystery though, how dense Hoshitani is that he still didn’t realize about the high-schooler that inspired him was Otori. I bet that picture won’t be shown to him until last performance. Lambert’s shadow = Hoshitani confirmed?? (EIGOOOOOO!!!! Truthfully, deeply in my heart, I want all of team Hiiragi members to get the roles!!! They’re stars of stars!!)

Cafe scene, was it any importance? Of course it is, so we are shown that everyone else in team Otori (aside Tsukigami and Tengenji) was underestimated, yeah I get it since season 1. Or was it needed to show the tension in team(?) Orlando (mainly Kuga vs Kitahara)? I get it, triangles, triangles everywhere. Team Otori gathering is a sight for a sore soul. And give me all the Tengenji merchandises, I would make an ita-ba with those amount of badges haha!! The Otori pic, it’ll be a running gag once Nayuki wants to show it, it will be interrupted. But I hope not, Hoshitani finding out his inspiration must be an important moment, they won’t fail this important scene.

Koyasu (Haruto) saying that we want to hear his voice again? Yes. But to Uozumi, no. (yes). HarUo scene came up next. So about this "other” mission, I presume that they’ll explain it in “the reveal” in next few episodes while they would still talk about this “other” mission every now and then without us knowing.

Scene after ending song, there’s this “antagonist” speech from Ageha to Hoshitani. Since this is Starmyu, I’m sure there’ll be the episode that Ageha becomes friends with Hoshitani and everything sparkles again, right?

Next week’s episode, are we getting Tengenji Kakeru-sama’s solo, with the possibility of Kuga x Toraishi x Inumine x Ugawa quartet?? Or Tengenji x Kuga x Toraishi x Inumine x Ugawa shuffle unit?? *hyperventilates* IT’s a dream come true then, aaaaaa I can’t handle!!! (not happening, the Ayanagi Junior High Unit was reasonable but i don’t know about these 5... but pleaseee, pretty pleaseee officialss hear my voice, please make my Dream singing Seiyuus unit come true, Hosoyan, Maenu, Kennu, Okicchu, and Tsugutsugu). Most likely Nanjo x Kitahara duet but uhhhh.... More team Otori x team Hiragi pls. Because, this s2 ep4 kinda has the s1 ep7 vibe in it where two main teams are being friendly with each other. Let’s save Nanjo x Kitahara duet for more s2 story revealing later, pretty please. I miss the 10 boys being friends with each other!!!! (AAAAAA)

It looks like the boys are visiting Tengenji during his work (or maybe Tengenji invites them to one of his Kabuki shows?) So exciting! And the most important thing is that Inumine was in the preview!! (But wait, ep2 preview didn’t have Inu in it but, bam, Chameleon Star) Is that it? Inumine only (properly) appears in even numbers episodes? What kind of pattern is this? Can I haz brotp InuTen again?(???)

WHILE I’m at Inumine, why does it feel like they’re foreshadowing something about him? For instance, he’s the only character that grows his hair. When an anime character changes their hairstyle, (usually) something inside them also changes. OVA OP? Ring a bell, that expression is really a different Inumine. And a little something at the doors with everyone’s animal motifs, Dragon (Tatsumi), Monkey (Sawatari), Dog (Inumine), Tiger (Toraishi), and Rabbit (Ugawa), that appeared in Chameleon PV, while everyone else’s picture was a whole, Inu’s picture divided into 2 parts, one with 5 shumai dogs in it, the other one is a lone shumai dog. Isn’t this representing multiple personality? Something along the lines that eerily similar with Chameleon Star lyrics “he’s like what we’ve seen when he’s together with a group of people, but a complete different person when he’s alone”?? AM I READING TOO MUCH IN TO STARMYU, THE BRIGHT AND SHINY ANIME WHERE NO ONE DIES???!! Monday is still so long...

This has been starmyu2 ep3 thoughts, that turned out to be an opinion about my bias. LOL Thanks to anyone who reads.

[Kanji/Romaji/English Lyrics] StarMyu SHUFFLE REVUE - “MISSION x CAUTION”

More from Shuffle Revue, yay~! This is the song that Kuga and Eigo sang XD I mean, outside of The Elegance pair, I’m down for this one wwwww I know they probably just paired these two off because Tatsumi was with Hoshitani and Nayuki sang with Ugawa  and they were the only two leftヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

But!! Looking at it though, these two really seem to have a similar standing in their teams in terms of their relationships with their respective leaders so, having them sing a duet TWICE wasn’t really that far-fetched  ∑d(°∀°d)

Also, SHUFFLE REVUE subs are available here!

※ Please don’t re-post the kanji, romaji, and English translations without permission. Instead of reposting, please just like/reblog instead ^^

Under the cut, enjoy~!

ENGLISH:

  A fresh kind of sense like a new color.

Your arrangements that happen as if you converse with the flowers.

I’ve known this for a long time now.

A genius! No, more than that.

Yes, an unparalleled florist.

Won’t you come to us?

  Sorry but, go ask someone else.

There’s no way I can join your inn.

Just like how I can’t betray the flowers,

there’s no way that I can betray my precious friends.

End of conversation.

 Won’t you please accept?

What are you scheming?

There is no scheme.

Can’t believing! Believing!

I want to protect them.

CAUTION

What do you want me to do?

  To fulfill this is the mission I must accomplish.

I will never break this bond with my friends!

Why don’t we try aiming higher, yes?

I don’t need fame that contradicts my morals.

  Friendships are always full of ups and downs!

This is the analysis and conclusion I have come up with.

It’s useless no matter how many times you ask.

What is the answer that connects to our tomorrow…?

MISSION

CAUTION

I won’t yield.
