Omoi Omoware Furi Furare Ch 26 Translation

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS. Yuna baby it’s okay. iT’S OKAY.

Scans here

p1 Love makes progress during the cultural festival! It's finally time to head to the night party--

I'm filled with nerves, but still want to reach out this hand.

p2 Message: I have something I need to tell you, Akari.

Akari: .......

Akari: Yuna--? Are you here?

p3 Yuna: Akari-chan...

Akari: Yuna---! There you are! Yuna: Akari-chan!!

Yuna: Akari-chan!! Akari: Whoa Yuna: Akari-chan!! Akari: What-- what happened?

Yuna: I-- Agatsuma-kun..... confessed to me...

p4 Shiba: Oh!

Shiba: I got a message from Agatsuma. Rio: Eh?

Message: Sorry! I had the key. I managed to get off the handcuffs. I'm heading back to class now.

Shiba: "I'm heading back to class now," he says.

Shiba: What's with that! He had the key all along! We searched for it so hard. Well, so long as it was found, right?

p5 Rio: .... Yeah.

Yuna: I... I....!

Yuna: This is the first time in my life I've ever had someone confess to me!

Yuna: And I... was so surprised... And... um... and then...

Akari: Don't worry, don't worry. Take a breath. Here.

p6 Yuna: :breathes out:

Yuna: Agatsuma-kun said...

Yuna: Let's go together to the night party...

Akari: (Kyaaa! I thought so! I thought he liked her!!)

Yuna: I was concerned about Rio... I was feeling kind of down because of it... And Agatsuma-kun noticed how I felt.

p7 Yuna: I always knew he was a nice guy, but that made me think it even more.

Yuna: To have someone like that confess to you is honestly a really wonderful feeling. Akari: Yes, yes! Of course it is! Anyone would be happy!

Akari: So... are you saying... What did you answer him?

Yuna: .......

p8 Yuna: I turned him down.

Yuna: I know he's a really great guy.

Yuna: But, I really do love Rio.

Yuna: But... it seems as though Rio is going to tell someone he likes them, at the night party.

p9 Yuna: I'm such an idiot and so stubborn about it.

Akari: That's not true at all! Akari: The fact that you know yourself so well right now is really, really amazing, Yuna!

Yuna: You always say such nice things about me.

Yuna: I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

p10 Yuna: I probably told you because I wanted to hear it.

Yuna: You're my safe space.

Akari: (But I really think that.)

Akari: (The things I don't have enough of, you have so completely. I think that's so amazing.]

Yuna: Akari-chan.

Akari: ? Yes!

p11 Yuna: I've decided I have to tell Rio one more time how I feel.

Yuna: Before he confesses to someone else, I need to convey my feelings.

Akari: Eh? Today? Right now?

Yuna: [nods]

p12 Yuna: I just turned down Agatsuma, and his confession influenced me... It makes me want to tell Rio.

Yuna: Is that terrible?

Akari: ......

Akari: You probably know what I'm going to say, don't you?

p13 Akari: Of course I'm on your side. So go do your best!

Yuna: .....

Yuna: Okay! Thank you!

[LINE msg sounds]

Akari: Oh, it's from kano.

p14 Kazu: Oh, Yamamoto-san's here.

Akari: Heyy!

Kazu: Huh? Wasn't Yuna with you? Akari: Oh yeah. She has something to do. She said she isn't coming back to class, just heading straight to the night party.

Kano: Sorry to call you back, Akari.

Kano: We're about to head home, so we wanted to say bye. Akari: No problem! I should say sorry for being so all over the place. Where's Ryousuke?

Kano: He's already out at the front gate.

p15 Akari: Thanks for coming today. I'll call! Kano: Sure! Come out our way sometimes, too. Akari: Bye!

Announcement: The cultural festival is now closing.

p16 Kazu (?): Let's clean up a little before the party tonight. Akari (?): Suuure. Someone: Are these okay to take down?

Akari: ........

Akari: Oh.

Kazu: That didn't get a prize. It's too bad. I thought it was a first place entry.

Akari: Yeah... me too.

p17 Akari: Inui-kun. Kazu: Hm?

Akari: Will you give me a push?

Kazu: Eh? Like this? Eyy. Akari: This is such an old joke.

Akari: When I realized I would have to move, and I'd be split from my friends...

p18 Akari: How I really felt about it...

Kana: I don't really want to go! I want to be with you guys forever! Why is this happening?

Akari: Even though I want to be like that, and I want to be able to say things openly...

Akari: I'm so scared someone will say, "What's with you all of a sudden?"

Kazu: [PUSH] Akari: Wha-!

p19 Akari: Um, you know... Kazu: [PUSH]

Akari: Eh? Eh... Kazu: [PUSH, PUSH, PUSH]

Akari: What in the world. Is this a thing now? I don't get it.

Kazu: So what if someone says that? I mean, you want to say it, don't you? So go do it.

p20 Akari: ....... One more time.... please.

[A request for more support.]

Kazu: No matter what anyone says to you, you've got me.

Akari: Eh?

p21 Kazu: Ah... um...

Kazu: Me... and Yuna and Rio are here for you, so what do you have to be afraid of?

Kazu: Nothing should scare you.

Akari: [I have it too.]

Yuna: You're my safe space.

Akari: [A place that will accept me unconditionally.]

p22 Akari: [It's right here.]

Akari: I'll be back!

p23 Shiba: Ah! Agastuma---!

Agatsuma: I'm back!

Rio: !

Shiba: You took a long time, considering you said you'd be right back. Agatsuma: Oh, sorry, sorry. I ran into some little kids and played with them a little.

Agatsuma: Is everyone out of their costumes already? Shiba: Like a long time ago.

Agatsuma: And...

p24 Agatsuma: Looks like you have something you wanna ask me, Rio.

Agatsuma: And I have something I have to tell you, too.

Agatsuma: So.......... yeah. I told her how I feel.

Agatsuma: I have a feeling you already kinda knew.

Rio: [suspense]

Rio: ...... Yeah.

p25 Agatsuma: So, I was turned down.

Rio: Eh?

Agatsuma: She says she has someone she likes. Rio: !! Eh! Who?

Agatsuma: She didn't tell me. But Ichihara-san...

p26 Agatsuma: Intends to tell him during the night party. Rio: HA?!

Agatsuma: Somehow I gave her the courage. She thanked me. Rio: (Yuna-chan)

Rio: (Has someone she likes.)

Rio: (And she's even going to confess soon.) Rio: No way.

p27 Agatsuma: Aaaaaaah. Both our chances close tonight along with the festival.

Yuna: (What should I do?)

Yuna: (I'm so nervous I can't move.)

p28 Yuna: (I have to go find Rio now, before he goes and tells someone else his feelings.)

Yuna: (I've been saying this to myself since Akari left!)

Yuna: (Wahhh... my nerves keep building...)

Yuna: [grip]

Yuna: (I was so fired up just a little bit ago! Get that back, me!)

p29 Yuna: (Ughhh but it's so scary.)

Yuna: (I mean, if I think this through, he has the intention of confessing to someone, so a confession from me would just be a bother. And he's already turned me down once.)

Yuna: (Aren't I awful?)

Yuna: (Ahhh... There's the sound of my courage deflating... Wait-- don't leave me--)

p30 Yuna: Forget this! I'm going!

Yuna: (Before my courage is gone completely....!)

Yuna: !!

[SPLASH] Yuna: It... it's cold...

p31 Yuna: Haha... It's... cold...

Yuna: (Even though I'd just made the decision to wrangle up my courage... This is horrible.)

Yuna: (How could I confess to Rio-kun, who sparkles so much, in a messed up outfit like this?)

p32 Yuna: (Is this an omen that I shouldn't do it?)

Yuna: (Maybe it is. If I don't do it, I could stay his friend forever. Yes, yes.)

Yuna: (Ah... That's made me feel so much calmer.) Yuna: .... And...

Yuna: I'm pathetic.

p33 Yuna: So pathetic. I hate myself.

Yuna: Akari even told me I was amazing, and here I am.

p34 Rio: No, I can't.

Agatsuma: Eh?

Rio: I'm not done yet.

Rio: I haven't said anything yet.

Rio: It doesn't matter who she likes. But before her confession

p35 Rio: I have to at least let her know how I feel.

Agatsuma: Eh?

Agatsuma: Rio!

Agatsuma: ........

p36 Kazu: Rio?

Kazu: Are you looking for someone? Rio: Oh Kazu!

Rio: Is-- Is Yuna-chan here?

Kazu: No, she's not in the class. Rio: What, for real?

p37 Rio: (Where could she be? There's no time. I'll ask her through LINE where she--) !!

Rio: (Damn, I left my phone in my locker.)

Rio: (At a time like this? Should I go get it? But...) Kazu: What's wrong? Are you okay?

Rio: (Right! If I get Kazu to send her a message--) Rio: KAZU! Kazu: Yeees?

Rio: Could you Announcement: The night party will commence shortly. Rio: WA-- Rio: UWA Kazu: ? Announcement: All students please report to the grounds.

p38 Announcement: I repeat. The night party will commence shortly. Yuna: I have to hurry.

Announcement: All students--

Rio: Damn, I have to hurry.

Both: (Once the party starts---)

p39 Kazu: Oh come to think of it, Yuna had something to do.

Rio: (Something....) Kazu: She's going straight to the party without stopping by the classroom, I heard. She might already be down at the grounds.

Rio: Got it! Thanks!

Rio: (I messed up-- for her to not be in the classroom--)

p40 Rio: (It's not that I want to get in her way. It's okay if she doesn't accept me.)

Rio: (I just want her to know.)

p41 Yuna: (I want to say it again.

Yuna: (I'm so much better than I was back then. And a feeling as strong as this--)

p42 Both: (I can't let it end without saying it out loud.)

EXTRA PAGES Shiba: (Two of my friends have fallen for the same girl.)

Shiba: (Yamamoto Rio. He's completely aware of his good looks so he's kind of a show off. He's the kind that some people would get annoyed at. But he's a totally great guy.)

Shiba: (Agatsuma Haruto. He's a gentle type that packs a punch. The kind of guy that girls look straight through. But he's a totally great guy.)

p2 Shiba: (If I were Ichihara-san---!) Shiba: WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE? I like both! Shiba: (They're both my friends!)

Agatsuma & Rio: So have both?

Shiba: Eh? There's no way that could work...

Shiba: (Huh?) Shiba: A double cone! Shiba: (There was something I was worrying over... Well, whatever!)

EPISODE 8 - MERGE

I’ve officially met my secondary goal of making the merge again! Yeees!! Last Tribal went well in the big picture: Drew idoled, Timmy wasted his, and Dennis went home. Buuuuut, I wasted mine too, which is a huge bummer. I showed my cards too early... either this merge is going to be my second shot, or the death of me.

So real talk, I’m not a fan of these huge merges. There’s way too many plans and players to keep track of... and with this “blind” twist, this round is going to be total chaos. I just hope that the connections I built up pre-merge carry me through this.

God bless Randy and his photoshop skills... he made an INCREDIBLE fake merge idol! I’m really confident that when people see this, they’ll be like “oh shit”. The only person I’ve told is Chris... if we use this right, it’s as good as having a real one!

This being a blind week really has me worried. People are going to feel incentivized to do whatever the hell they want, because they’ll face ZERO repercussions for their actions. As for who I’M voting, that’s still tbd. After last round, I’m taking a little break from calling the shots.

Trying to juggle my Civilians’ alliances with Dan and Tracey while pushing to get Timmy out is proving to be a bit difficult. Chris and Drew are fine with telling them where the villains are voting, but it’s a BLIND round! Why not take advantage of it and make it seem like we aren’t all on the same page?? It would make the two of them trust us more if they really thought we were 100% done with Heroes vs. Villains!

Wow we love a potential swing vote situation. I hate not knowing where that power is because I just find it hard to believe someone got a better time than me for it. 13:37 was faster than Drew’s 14:15 for immunity ugh, unless he’s lying. I’m just frustrated bc I hate being in this position, but also it’s a blind round so if I voted out Timmy, the vote count wouldn’t matter. Unless of course he has the power or the immunity (if Drew is lying). I wish the heroes would come up with a plan bc like I’m stressed. It’s obvious to me that I’m the swing and I just don’t want it to be obvious to others. I’m telling Pat a lot rn just bc if anyone here I trust him the most. But also, it makes me nervous to open up so much in games, I don’t wanna get burned 

I know pat won a major idol so I'm pretty stoked about that!! Idk who the other winner is but i hope it isn't tracey because that's who we're all voting. I have a feeling she won tho.

Dark weeks always scare me because who knows what the fuck is actually going to happen. My alliance wants Tracey out but who knows if that will actually happen. Dark weeks are a good time to go against alliances because there is really no way to know since the vote count isn’t revealed so I could be fucked, anyone could be fucked.

Slow slow slow your boat, gently down the merge, merrily merrily merrily, this game is but a flop.  I feel like its finally starting to pick up but this dark week slowed it down just when it was getting going. Apparently Tracey is Karen? wig. (can i say that if im straight idk). Anyways i can flip on the villains and vote karen ( which i really wanna do ) but im not gonna,, its too early to flip on my alliance. not that i want to, id love to go to the end with charlotte sammy and ricky. but i need revenge for france and thats coming at the expense of karen. 

I’m legit not sure what’s happening tonight I’m screaming. There’s literally so many options and I’m one of them. It’s so nerve wracking 

AHHHHHHHH

okay sorry ive been hella sick so idk what really is going on except that the villains are voting out timmy tonight and that i really wanna work with drew and dan. also mark is very nice to talk to and we're gonna watch wrestling together on sunday god fucking bless. i really want chelsea and madison out soon and im trying my best to steer my four villains away from wanting to vote dan or drew bc i want them here. thats pretty much it lmfao goodnight]

hmmm okay so thing have been interesting. 1-My tribe was the only one that did not have to go to tribal last round.  I was super pumped because I feel as if one of us would have went home.  Then....while watching the tribal.BAM idol play. BOOM. another idol. WHAM. another one.  I am telling you there were idols flying left and right. Like how did y'all find those idols so fast...?  Okay so Dennis got voted out which is like good for me because I knew he would be a challenge threat and a social threat in general.  Moving on, we merged! HaLlElUjAh PrAiSe the LORTTT.  I was getting bored, not gonna lie....but it is still boring everyone is like not talking....okay but anyways, this is a dark round and umm I was so shocked bc I thought I was gonna win the puzzle. I got a time of like 15 mins...how did someone beat meeee:/ that puzzle was a monster. Idk but there are two people that have a lot of power and I am not sure who but I am gonna vote Timmy bc like I don't think he could have won the puzzle? peace yall, hope I am no being blindsided.

Hello meeeeerge!!!!!! So last round was crackt, 3 idols flushed, my boi denny got voted out and I got a vote????? So uh that was wild sjdjkdmdkxn but now merge is here and it's a new game I guess smdjsjndid like personally I was thinking the split was gonna be idk more dramatic but like I don't want to work with the heroes and like they're throwing my name around so clearly they don't want to work with me, except maybe dan????? Idk he's so fucking wishy washy ugh!!!!! I'm like very nervous like I think I can trust the villains bc I've mostly talked to them today and they all seem to want to keep me and me and Chris might even have an alliance going after this which like....how crackt is that?!?! Literally the last person I'd want an alliance with but we're both low on the totem pole so like....we really don't have much choice. I also want to work with drew for sure and maybe mark, the other villains I'm a little if-y about idk like I would like to think me and ricker are on good terms and me and Sammy seem to have left everything in the past so we'll have to see after this blind week. Anyway!!!!!!! Fuck the heroes! Villains are skinny!

Okay so it’s merge and it’s the dark week makes me so nervous. I’m trying to use my mark connection to keep me alive amongst the villains. I’m hoping to keep Chelsea and Dan alive and like somehow make it to the end with one of them. I want a lot of villains on the jury but I don’t want a villain available to get votes. OH I won the reward and from conversation I did the best in the puzzle???? ME???? I don’t believe it but Yas bitch ( to myself)

So I’m super afraid I’m gonna go home this round, I need a ducking idol y’all! I really want Timmy to go home so that’s a mood, if he doesn’t, I’m gonna DIE!

[gendryw4ters-blog]

Haha, tbh, I check up on this blog at least once a day, and atm, I'm about to have dinner, but I'll give them a listen and let you know! Also, if you want to call me something else, I've been trying to go by Rae, so you can call me that or stick with Spotify Anon!

im gonna answer all of the messages at once under the cut if thats okay!! and also! if there was a part four, i’m afraid it’s missing, so sorry about that!! 

This will be a series haha. Okay, so for Speirs: Nick Cave def fits, general “trying to be spooky” vibes which fits the image he likes, would be songs that aren’t like Dead Kennedys-style of punk, but maybe Catholic Discipline, can see artists like Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits, if theres a speirton list, I think stuff w/ Southern Gothic vibes would fit, even tho Lip’s is 80s pop, Black Sabbath seems a bit too heavy, St. James Infirmary Blues is very Speirs in terms of his overall vibe, (1/?)

as well as Red Right Hand and Down By The Water. I think Gimme Shelter is more of a Lew thing, just because of general vibes from the song and the band as a whole (Lew was once referred to as flamboyant, and that is the Stones most definitely). Roe: I am so biased, I love Joy Division and “Oats in the Water” is on so many of my own mixes. Late 80s to early 90s “alternative” music seems to fit well, “Fifty on our Foreheads” is a good example. (2/?) 

Oddly enough, I feel like The Police would be a good fit, like more along the lines of “Roxanne” than “Every Little Thing She Does” (which would be a good Roe/Renee song) Yo La Tengo could work as a band, like “Our Way To Fall”. ALSO BIASED BC I CANT STAND RADIOHEAD AND LOVE REM AND “SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE” IS A ROE THING OR AT LEAST SOMEONES!!! “Zombie” is also something that fits on “sad and dark, but still on the lighter side” (3/?)

-Speirs and Roe’s are similar in tone of styles, but Speirs’ is the slightly darker version; roe’s is more of fun and slightly pop-ish. Like Roe is outwardly more likely to be into upbeat things so more upbeat songs, while with Speirs, its one or two slipped in, so you get the hint, but it’s not in your face. This is for Roe and Speirs, and I’ll try to cover more tomorrow. I know I’ll be thinking about Lew’s and Lip’s, so is there anything specific you’re looking for feedback on? (5/5) -S.A.

aaaah oh man. oh man this is soo cool thank you so much!! Leonard Cohen is someone I did kind of think about with Speirs actually- there’s something about him and Cave that’s sort of... Haunting, to me?? Which suits him, I think. And as for the Black Sabbath thing, yeah, I think in retrospect with both Paranoid and Gimme Shelter I got all caught up in the “dystopian horror game” vibes instead of thinking about Speirs himself. Gimme Shelter is definitely more of a Lew thing, it fits both the kind of Dad rock and the kind of cool and flamboyant vibes like you were saying.

Roe!! Is one of my favourite lists actually, and I think I always had him down as kind of Ben Howard-y but it was a fanvid using Oats that really solidified that for me (this one!!). I do super love the alternative 80s/90s kind of style for him, and White Lies are also very Gene to me too (Fifty On Our Foreheads especially, but also some of the much darker ones that I didn’t include, such as To Lose My Life and Unfinished Business). There’s also a lot of scope to dip in and out of Toye’s list with Roe in mind- with the likes of Interpol and The Smiths I think. The relationships between lists is a whole ‘nother ballgame though, I’d be here for days if I started to get into that ahaha

WHY CAN’T YOU STAND RADIOHEAD? it’s not beef im just curious- cause i mean, i was adamant i would hate them for a long time because i wasnt keen on the fanbase or the kind of godly tier thom yorke had been elevated to by them, but they’ve actually grown on me a lot (through a combination of westworld and @ralphspina​, i think) and plus i feel like the kind of loner-ish vibes suit Roe in a way. but!! i respect that everyone has their own tastes and things so it’s all good

Lip has Shiny Happy People actually! Buuut I do feel like it could have been Roe if id taken a different kind of route with him in terms of sounds (like, if i had stuck to lyrics more than general aesthetic, if that makes sense) 

and yeees the connection between speirs and roe is something i love a lot, and i think you summarised a lot of that connection super succinctly in what you said there. speirs CAN be fun but its a lot more covert i think. i don’t know if you ever saw my young speirs breakdown but that kind of was me trying to give a little insight into how he came to acquire the vibes he has today

ALSO!! i promise you dont have to give any feedback at all really if youre ever busy or dont wanna but i appreciate it loads oh gosh and honestly anything you have to say on them is like!! i love it a lot because music is a big thing for me and i love getting other people’s views on the matter a whole big lot, so thank you so so so much for this!!

ANOTHER ALSO: a while back you asked about things i would have done differently, with a specific nod towards skip/penk and their more fun and musical list. im probably not gonna make a whole big bunch of changes to that list as it stands, however i have made another list for them that you can find here that focuses more on their at home/relaxed kind of music!! if that’s your kinda thing x
