Interviews

Where would you go on a first date?

A manga museum. I'd like to show you my favorite works, but if we can't read them all in one day, we can come back another time.

How about window-shoppin’? We won't run outta things to talk about when we’re lookin’ at all the different shops and goods. We can find out each other’s taste in fashion and what sorta trends are hot, too.

What about a “cat ka-fay”? Cats look so adorable, just seeing them is sure to make the two of us smile...~♪

I’d like to go to a theme park! ‘Cuz there’s all sortsa things we could do there together, like going on a buncha rides, buying souvenirs, and so much more~♪

I think it’d be fun anywhere, as long as I’m with the person I love, but… For me, it’d be even more fun if we’re at a place that has yuruchara.

I would love an opportunity to lead the way around a ninja village! I want to show you all there is to know about my favorite thing! Be it by witnessing ninjutsu, having a first-hand experience with it, or anything else of the like~♪

A date means going to the amusement park! There’s roller coasters, the ferris wheel, and most importantly, hero shows! The day would pass by in a flash! ☆

on warm days, i would like to have fun at the [ocean]~ and in the colder seasons, we can visit the [aquarium]...♪

What was the last message exchange you had with someone in your unit?

I contacted Kiryu and Kanzaki about our work schedules, but neither of them responded. Well, that isn’t unusual, though.

I wanted to hear what their plans were for our new song, so I hit ‘em up. After that, we ended up meetin' up and talkin' face-to-face.

I hadn't realized I'd sent an incomprehensible string of characters, so I contacted my seniors to apologize. Handling a "sumaho" is difficult…

I messaged everyone ‘bout when we’ll have our next practice session together! Midori-kun’s the only one who hasn’t responded yet, so I’m just gonna go and ask him directly!

My parents gave me lots of vegetables, so I asked everyone in my unit if they’d like some before I offered them to anyone else. I’ll carry some with me later.

Tetora-kun sent me our schedule for the practice session, so I replied to that! I’m in charge of booking us a practice room~♪

I got my hands on some ninja-themed sentai merchandise, so I couldn’t help but message Sengoku about it. It made me happy to get a text praising how cool it looks! ☆

i messaged chiaki that i am at the [ocean]. he gets [worried] when i do not tell him [where] i am.

Why are you so cool?

It's because of the support and encouragement around me. My friends and allies are the reason I can stand on stage and strive for greater heights.

I guess it's ‘cuz AKATSUKI is where I can be with Hasumi ‘n Kanzaki. When I see those two honest guys, it’s like my spine just straightens up on its own.

There's something about that comment that makes me feel bashful. However, I'm pleased if my daily training has led to that kind of impression.

Maybe it’s ‘cuz everyone’s always supporting me? Also, if you think my constant hard work towards my goal is somethin’ “cool”, then I’m real happy ‘bout that!

I don’t really know how to answer that… But I think that it’s thanks to my parents that I was born with this face, so I’ll express my gratitude to them later…

I-I’m cool? It surprises me to hear that, but I’d certainly be glad if you consider ninjas to be something cool!

It might be because I dream of becoming a hero. And not just any hero, but a “cool” one…☆

it is because there are so many [cool] people around me~ so maybe i am also more likely to be seen as cool along with them…?

What are your best subjects?

You could say that liberal arts as a whole are my strongpoint. I believe I've not only excelled in Japanese language and history, but also in civics.

I'm good at sewin’ and cookin’, so home economics is my forte. I usually suck at studying the classic way... especially math; it hurts my head.

I enjoy classical literature and Japanese history. On the contrary, I am not as good at English and world history. While I improve on my current abilities, I want to overcome my weaknesses too.

I’m confident with my practical classes, like P.E. and home economics~♪ I wanna get better at theory-based subjects too, but it’s pretty difficult for me…

Math’s my best subject, or more like, it’s the only thing I can do…? I’m not at all good with other subjects, so I think I’m pretty compatible with it.

I’ve got a bit of confidence when it comes to Japanese history! I studied a whole lot to make myself well-versed with the era of ninjas~♪

My best subjects are the liberal arts, like Japanese literature and language! And my weakest subject is math. I would always study until late at night before a test for that class.

[history] and [biology] might be my best subjects? well, i say [biology], but i actually mean [fish]...♪

What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

I try to set aside the time for meditation. Not only does it improve my ability to concentrate and relax, but it seems to have a positive effect on creativity too.

A while ago, I fell asleep with the light on in my room. Guess that’s why the first thing I do when I get up is to check if they’re still on.

I prepare breakfast. Now that I have a new kitchen knife, I look forward to cooking with it every day~♪

I heard it was good for your health if you drink a glass of water in the morning, so I do that. After that, I go out for my morning training routine.

I play a yuruchara game on my phone. That’s the best way to spend time whenever you wanna lie in bed for a little longer, yeah?

I try to do exercises that help you grow taller. I hope it works out, even if I only grow a tiny bit more~

I begin my day with a fresh start by doing radio exercises!1 I get to move every muscle in my body in an efficient manner, and it also feels really good to refresh my mind and body first thing in the morning!

i have new [fishies] in my room’s [water tanks], so i [check] how they are doing when i [greet] them~♪

SUMMER: What do you want to do at summer festivals?

Just hearing the festival music drifting in the air lifts my spirits. It would be nice to listen to it while refreshing myself in the cool breeze of the evening.

When it comes t’festivals, I wanna chow down on some shaved ice, but… I always get a brain freeze. Is it ‘cuz I take too big’a bites out of ‘em…?

I would like to eat yakisoba coated entirely with “saw-su”~♪ I’ll never forget that sensation it brought when I tasted them for the first time…! It was something I’d never felt before…!

I wanna check out all sortsa festival stalls~ Like goin’ to the one for scooping up goldfish! I bet it’d also be fun to go against someone and see who can scoop up the most!

Yuruchara masks are being sold lately, so if there’s a stall selling them, I’d like to check it out. I might buy one if I find anything I like.

Festivals can only mean one thing, and that’s street food! I’d like to be deliberate about what I choose to eat. I’ve been curious to know what sort of texture the tornado potatoes have~♪

Before calling it a day at the festival, how does buying sparklers sound? I’d love to talk with my friends and comrades about our time at the festival all the while. That would definitely make it the best summer ever…☆

i would probably [sweat] from the humidity, so i would like to [hydrate] myself by eating [chilled pineapple]~3

SUMMER: What are your memories of summer vacation homework?

Mornings at the temple start early, so I’d do my homework after morning services were done. By the time I finished it all, it’d be right in time for lunch.

I'm damn awful at studyin’, and my eyes just can’t stay open when I’m readin’ paragraphs ‘n stuff... So I always put it all off ‘til the last second.

Because English assignments take me a considerable amount of time, I would make a schedule and face it head-on. I sought out help from my friends for the portions I didn't understand.

I’m real bad at studying, so I can’t help but procrastinate on my homework… But I never do anythin’ like copying off answers from a classmate!

Helping out at my family’s store makes the days go by so fast that it becomes August in no time, so… Oh, actually, I remember making a yuruchara with the cardboard boxes we have at the shop…

Why, I made my research project about ninjas, of course! My teacher praised me for it, saying it was thoroughly organized~♪

I would always work on my homework a little at a time each day after my morning radio exercises. I always felt refreshed thanks to the exercise, and it helped me progress through the homework by a lot!

ahh, mikejima would sometimes bring over [homework], yes… i simply just watched, you know?

AUTUMN: What would you do if you encountered a ghost?

You might expect exorcism via use of paper slips from me, but I don’t have that ability. Well, I can chant sutras at least, though.

It’d be best if we didn’t have to use our fists, but — if somethin’s about to attack, it’s up to us seniors to fight back, right?

If something were to attempt to harm anyone, I’d hack them down with my sword in an instant. Whatever happens, rest assured! I will win without fail.

I’ll fight back with my karate to protect everyone! Ah, but are physical attacks even effective on ghosts in the first place…?

I feel like I’d panic and end up showing a really pathetic side of myself… Ahh, then again, if someone even more afraid than me was around, I think it’d actually make me feel calm instead?

Choosing not to fight against an unwinnable opponent is a praiseworthy strategy of its own. I would use a smoke screen with my ninpou, so as to make an escape away from the ghost!

Eeeek!? Ghost!? S-S-S-Sorry. This is the one topic I can’t for the life of me talk about, so let me pass on this one, please…!

like an [umibouzu]?4 i cannot swim, so i would be in trouble if i got pulled into the [water], wouldn’t i~

AUTUMN: What’s your favorite kind of ramen?

If I had to choose, miso—… Ah no, I like tan tan ramen5 as well. It’s the perfect choice whenever you feel like eating something spicy.

I like abura soba6, it’s somethin’ that’s nice and hearty, and it really hits the spot. Add a lil’ rice and toppings by the end of it and ya got a new flavor you can enjoy again.

I have a fondness for shoyu ramen. I found a good establishment in town, so I took AKATSUKI to eat there. It suited both of their tastes as well~♪

Instant noodles at night are the best! Heh, and I just recently mastered using the kettle, so I’m pretty good at making cup noodles!7

I guess I like ramen with lots of vegetables in it. Like cabbage, bean sprouts… It gives the ramen a lot of substance, so it keeps me full.

The abura soba I ate with Tetora-kun and Midori-kun was delicious.6 And when I was almost done, I added rice onto the bowl and ate up the whole meal!

I was recently introduced to a ramen restaurant that uses seafood soup, so… I always eat at that restaurant whenever I’m in the mood for ramen!

i am [not good] with hot things, so when there is [chilled chinese noodles] in the [cafeteria’s menu], i go with that~

Oshi Calls

Keito Hasumi

“This is Hasumi Keito from AKATSUKI. To put it bluntly, I’m wondering if you’ll choose me as your “oshi”.”

“Er, I’m sorry if I caught you off guard. If I hope to be chosen, I should probably talk more about my charm in my own words. Well then…”

“As AKATSUKI’s leader, I build up experience as an idol day by day. I work hard to make sure AKATSUKI evolves until everyone knows who we are as a unit.”

“Also…… Well, it’d be a long story if I were to go on. I’ll strive to give it my all, and let my work speak for itself. Keep your eyes on me, and see for yourself if I’m worthy of being your “oshi”.”

Kuro Kiryu

“Yo, I’m Kiryu Kuro. I work as part of AKATSUKI.”

“I'm not really used to sellin’ myself, but this is a great opportunity. I gotta make sure you get to know a li’l bit about me.”

“The thing I'm good at is sewin’. I make costumes for AKATSUKI, but I also stitch up outfits for other people if they request it. So, well, guess you could say I'm good with my hands.”

“I dunno if if I did a good job showin’ off my good points…… but if you choose to support me, I'll repay it in full. If it’s fine with you, come along with me.”

Souma Kanzaki

“Ohhh, it connected~♪ I presume that you must be the “aidoru fan”. I am Kanzaki Souma, It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

“I am an “aidoru” who is a member of the “yunitto” AKATSUKI. As the descendant of a samurai clan, I’ve a sword on one side and a mindfulness of “tii-pii-ooh”2 on the other!”

“...... To tell you the truth, I’m not sure I understand what being someone’s “oshi” really entails yet. However, I imagine it’s similar to a samurai’s pledge of devotion to their lord.”

“I’ll show you that I’m a splendid “aidoru” worthy of your support. I hope that you will cheer for me….~♪”

Tetora Nagumo

“Ossu, I’m Nagumo Tetora! I’m in STARMAKER PRODUCTION’s RYUSEITAI!”

"My hobby is doing workouts like weight-training, and my specialty is cooking the manliest food over an open flame. I’m always in the thick of it, working hard and growing in order to become a man among men~♪"

“No matter what hardship knocks me down, I’ll show you that I can stand right back up and overcome it all. That’s how I wanna move forward as an idol too, step by step!”

“I’ll definitely become an idol so great, you’ll be glad that you chose me, so… I hope that you can support me…!”

Midori Takamine

“I’m Takamine Midori from RYUSEITAI. Umm, I’m not too sure what to talk about here, but I’ll try…”

“My family runs a greengrocer business, and I help them out often. Because of that, I like vegetables quite a bit… Ah, but the thing I love most is yuruchara~♪”

“On the other hand, I have a lot of things I’m not a fan of… Ah, but maybe I shouldn’t mention those right now. I’m sorry, I always get negative so easily…”

“I haven’t shown much appeal at all, but I’ll do as best as I can in my own way, so… If it’s alright, I’d be happy to have your support…♪”

Shinobu Sengoku

“I’m Sengoku Shinobu, a member of RYUSEITAI! I’m a ‘ninja’, so I devote myself to training and discipline day after day.”

“It’s difficult to explain in a few words why I chose to be a ninja, but… From a young age, I have always admired the ninja’s way of life, and so I aspired to become one myself~♪”

“Ninjas may be ones who conceal themselves, but I’m not simply a ninja — I’m an idol as well! So I always put everything I have acquired in my ninja training to good use, even on stage!”

“It would make me happy if you watched my acrobatic performances, and chose me as your ‘oshi’~♪”

Chiaki Morisawa

“The hero of justice, Morisawa Chiaki—! Has just made his arrival! …Mhm, I got that pose down perfectly! ☆”

“Alongside my comrades in RYUSEITAI, I work hard in my activities every day, both as a hero and as an idol!”

“I want to make everyone smile, and that feeling is stronger and more passionate than anyone else’s. I strive to always keep it that way. And the source of that burning passion is none other than the encouraging cheers of our fans!”

“That’s why I’d like you to send me your support by calling for my name as loud as you can! I’m counting on you!”

Kanata Shinkai

“hello~♪ i am shinkai kanata from ryuseitai.”

“i love the ocean, so i often take walks on the [beach] and [bathe] in [water]. i also love [fishies]~♪”

”to give your life a plentiful amount of [replenishment] as well, i will deliver many [songs] to you.”

“so i would love it if you would cheer for me. puka, puka…♪”

Thank You for Choosing Me Call

Keito Hasumi

I’m grateful you chose me as your “oshi”. Thank you.

To repay that kindness, I’ll aim for the top with more fervor than I have before. And I assure you that both I and Akatsuki will advance relentlessly.

I’d like to become someone indispensable to you, too. From here on out as well, please lend me your support.

Kuro Kiryu

Outta all the idols out there, ya chose me, huh? Thanks.

Well now, since you’ve chosen me, I guess I’m gonna have to fire myself up even more for yer sake too~♪

I might end up lookin’ tactless, ‘n completely put ya off... but if I’m gonna do this, I’ll do it to the end, so I’ll show ya I can live up to yer expectations. Watch over me, okay?

Souma Kanzaki

Me, having become your “oshi”...! I feel quite proud of myself…♪

It is an “aidoru”’s honor to receive the support of their “fans”. This Kanzaki Souma will strive to work harder and harder.

From now on for years to come, I will show you the fruits of my labor!

Tetora Nagumo

Thank you so much for choosin’ to support me! I’m pumped to get this opportunity to receive your feelings!

I’m still a novice, and a clumsy one at that, so it’s tough for me to grow all at once… But I’ll keep moving forward step by step, and get closer to my dreams and ideals, even if it’s only li’l by li’l.

I’ll definitely show you that impressively grown version of me, you can count on that! So please keep watchin’ over me from now on, too…!

Midori Takamine

There are so many idols around here, but you still chose me… Thank you so much…♪

I don’t know how much I can actually accomplish, but… I’ll try to do as much as I’m able to. So please support me…♪

If someone told me to choose a single favorite yuruchara, I think I would’ve struggled a lot, so… Now that you’ve chosen me, I want to make sure I answer those feelings of yours.

Shinobu Sengoku

Thank you for choosing me! Nihihi, it makes me blush a little~

I mostly talked about ninjas, so I am curious as to which you actually grew interested in: me, or ninjas…

But this simply means I must work harder and harder to ensure that you love both! I will continue to convey all those charms, so please do watch me from here on out, as well…♪

Chiaki Morisawa

Thank you for choosing me as your “oshi”! I can say with certainty that I received your passionate feelings…☆

I want to work even harder as both a hero and an idol, and be someone who can cheer anyone up. Being chosen as your “oshi” reaffirmed that resolve of mine.

I’ll keep my heart burning and continue moving forward towards the future! Keep watching over my efforts from now on, too!

Kanata Shinkai

you chose me as your [oshi]? ufufu, that makes me very happy~♪

i hope to [replenish] every day of your life with not only [smiles], but [song] and [dance] too—

those are my feelings, and so… let’s continue to spend a wonderful time together from here on out, too… you and me~♪
