Hold it right there, big kahuna.
You've reached the back-end of my translation posts. As cool as that might be, the view from here is pretty unhelpful for navigating translations. To reach the main citrinesea masterlist, click here or click on the Keito below.
Thank you for your understanding.

Lately, seasonal voicelines have begun to incorporate other characters. This page is a spin on voiceline translation pages where I try and piece those connected stories together for ease. Current focus characters are Keito, Kuro, Souma and Ibuki, but may expand.
AKATSUKI is a unit embodied by 和 (wa, lit. harmony, but also a self-designator for Japan). The word 和風 (wafu, Japanese style) comes from 和. During the Meiji Restoration, 和 was central to Japan’s efforts to unify and assimilate new territories under a shared cultural identity. On top of his membership, Ibuki's active pursuit of 本当の和風 (true Japanese-style) being the reason he pursues AKATSUKI is inappropriate, bearing this in mind.
Additionally, the Ryukyu Disposition was driven by military interests, particularly securing Japan's southern borders from other nations. In Okinawan schools, national pride was linked to serving Japan’s military goals. This had devastating consequences, particularly during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. This in mind, having Ibuki join the self-proclaimed "war unit" is also inappropriate.

Two new songs have been made for the AKATSUKI Fan Thanksgiving and Starphony Concert. These two songs express the musical range of the reborn AKATSUKI.
"Meikyou Ryusui," released the other day, is a song tranquilly sung, that uses an abundance of traditional Japanese instrumentation in line with AKATSUKI’s traditional Japanese style. While "Enten Enyou Senpenbanka" definitively uses Japanese scales, it was created without the use of any traditional Japanese instruments. It is also the first song where AKATSUKI has tried to attempt “precise" harmonies.
Please check Translation Notes for more details and Interpretation Notes for translation choices in the song.

"So, what do you think? Is it a new flavor you’ve never experienced before or what? Or should I ask... don't you think it's very 'me'1 in style?"
"Haha, of course it is~ This new dessert was the product of integrating and combining all the classic ways different cultures prepare desserts ♪"
"In order to achieve my dream of becoming a master dessert chef, I’ve traveled all over the world to study each and every dessert… At last, I’ve finally found my1 way!"
"Well, there’s still a long, long way to go making new things. Whenever I do, you’ll help me taste test it, right~?"
"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how creative a dessert is if it's not one everyone can enjoy. If I can’t make something you’d like, then the way I do things just isn’t enough!"
In order to learn the different ways to make desserts, I spent a few days wolfing down all kindsa sample desserts, so my sugar intake’s off the charts!
Thank God I’m not in America right now. Donuts are all the rage there. As an idol, working all of ‘em off would need double the exercise~!
Hm? You wanna know more about my life before all this, Neenee? Nyahaha,2 you asked that so suddenly, where do I even start~?
Well, we’re already here talking about exotic desserts, so if that interests you, how about I bring you back a dessert as a souvenir the next time I travel?
In return, please think about me the next time you travel for work, ‘kay~
