Ensemble in SEKAI (新生紅月)
Pamphlet, Pre-Show Backstage Conversation
The real show is approaching, so is there anything we’re concerned about at this point?
Nah, nothin’ in particular for me.
Mhmhm. Me either~♪
Gh… I’m certainly worried about Taki doing something! During the rehearsal we had a moment ago, he was doing moves that weren’t according to plan…
Eh~? You reacted to it instantly so it all ended up working out, Kanzaki-san~? As expected of you~♪
That’s exactly what I’m…!
… Now, settle down. Taki. Take care not to make any strange moves during the show. I’ll be watching you.
Haha. Well, it’s good to have a little bit of freedom too, though. The most important thing to do is keep from gettin’ lost in the atmosphere of the show.
Right. Facing the audience sincerely and conveying our feelings with all our hearts… That is the kind of stage performance I want to give.
Aftershow, Onstage Talk
So many people stayed until the end, thank you so much for today
Thanks~
Thank you very much.
Thank~you~!
To get down to it, we are AKATSUKI. Up until now, Kiryu, Kanzaki and I have been its three acting members.
Now, we’ve had a new member join.
That’s this guy, Taki Ibuki.
Nyaha~ha… It’s nice to meet you all…
Huh? What’s wrong, Taki? Why are you acting so demure?
Ah, no. I was told that I got a little carried away doing whatever I wanted during the MC session, so~ I thought I’d properly greet the fans seriously is all.
Haha. That’s a real good mindset to have, huh?
Right. From here on out, you should focus on following Hasumi-dono and Kiryu-dono’s example, Taki.
Ri~ght! Well, the one I’m paying the most attention to right now is Kanzaki-san, though!
Me?
We practiced tons and tons and went over stuff over and over for this live, right~ And when I was getting in some extra, secret practice until super late, you kept me company~
Heheh. I’d always thought you were a cute kid, but you’ve become a really proper senior, hm Kanzaki?
Mhmhm. Right now, the one who’s being given the most attention1 in AKATSUKI is me, right, Hasumi-san~? Kiryu-san~? ♪
Wh—! Hasumi-dono, Kiryu-dono and I have a bond like family— it absolutely cannot be cut through!
Now, now… Yer not just a cute junior, but yer startin’ to become a real reliable figure, Kanzaki.
Right. From here on out, we will be acting as four. I’m sure there’ll be times when things aren’t easy, but...
Kiryu, Kanzaki, Taki. For everyone gathered here today, and for the fans who always support us, let’s keep at it and work our hardest to be something everyone is proud of.
So then, let's give our partin’ words one by one. Starting with Hasumi-no-danna.
Right... Everyone, once again, thank you for today. From here on out, please continue to support AKATSUKI. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your heartwarming support. I'm looking forward to the day we meet on stage again.
Everyone, thank you for today~♪ It was a super fun live~ See you later!
Thanks for stickin’ around ‘til the end. If you get the chance again, come see us perform again. Well then, one last time everyone!
Aftershow, Meet and Greet
Thank you for attending. Did you enjoy our live?
Hm? The MC portion was hilarious, you say?2 How incorrigible…
… Well, as long as you had fun, I’ll consider it a good thing. Until next time.
Thank you for today. Heheh, I imagine AKATSUKI’s live must have been a sight to behold.
It’s precisely because of your support that I could stand on this stage. Look after me from here on out.
Oh! Your support was real noticeable, y’know~ That makes me real happy!
Can I give you a kiss~
— Nyahaha〜♪ kidding, kiiidding. Did that catch you off guard? Thank~you~ for everything today. See ya.
Oi, oi, that Taki… Sorry for him, I bet he surprised you, huh.
Hm? Are you alright? Good, I can rest easy then.
Didja have a real fun time today? Thanks for stickin’ around ‘til the end. Well, see ya later.
Translation Notes
- ↑ 可愛がられている. I couldn't tell if he meant he was being the most "pampered" or if AKATSUKI were being extra watchful and paying extra attention to him for training, so I left it vague.
- ↑ During the afternoon showing of Day 1, Ra'bits and AKATSUKI MC together. In it, Ra'bits spells out L-O-V-E with their bodies and shouts "We're Ra'bits". Seeing this, Ibuki leans over and whispers to Souma and Kuro, before the three of them spell A-K-A in the same way. Keito looks over, startled, before caving, slicing the air with a mimed sword and shouting "AKATSUKI!".
