Wataru: How crazed! I like that about you! It's surprisingly rare to find people who are as scrupulous as you are!
Gatekeeper: Hmph. If everyone worked like me, as diligent as a machine, human society would have been more complete a long time ago
< At the same time, in the training room inside of the ES building>
Wataru: (...Hmm?)
Wataru: (This is not good! The whole thing seems to be out of gear!)
Wataru: (Recently, our "fine" has been stable without any major accidents or troubles, so any small discord is easily discernible)
Wataru: (Well, I had already anticipated this, but—)
Wataru: (I wonder, why is it that my heart hurts a little? It must mean that I really do have a heart inside of me after all!)
Wataru: (Even though on stage, I would have gladly play the role of a dastardly villain!)
Wataru: (Ah, Aaah... This won't do)
Wataru: (My art is getting quite muddy. Though I'm not so perfect yet as to be able to use all the tragicomedies that occur in my life as fertilizer for my art)
Wataru: (I wonder if I should reflect on it as something that is lacking, or consider that there is still room for growth)
Wataru: (To choose to live or to choose to die! That is the question! Amazing!)
Gatekeeper: ...Even when you're alone, you sure do relish in wasting your time, don't you?
Wataru: Oh? What an unexpected visit from a client!
Wataru: I am so honored! I welcome you to my castle! Gatekeeper-san and Anzu-san of the SS committee♪
Wataru: It's been a while, hasn't it? Have you perhaps gained some weight? Is it rude for me to say something like that to a woman?
Wataru: Although, wouldn't even more rude for me to treat someone differently because of their gender? What do you think?
Gatekeeper: Stop that, stop trying to stick so close to me. I'm not young enough to be acting so buddy-buddy with kids like you
Wataru: How rude! But, this quite an emotional reunion, isn't it, Anzu-san!
Wataru: I've heard that you've been held captive like a "princess locked in a tower"(1) for a quite a while, so it's wonderful to see that you are looking much healthier than I thought you'd be!
Gatekeeper: Hmph. I made a promise with someone, so I courteously "protected" her. I gave her so many delicious foods everyday that she's starting to get fat
Wataru: But still! A prisoner is a prisoner, no matter how well you treat her! You poor thing! Come and jump into my chest, come on!
Wataru: Hm? What might this be, Anzu-san? A love letter? How sweet!
Wataru: ...Hmm? a proposal for a future "fine" activity that you want to produce?
Wataru: Aah, not only did you describe the contents of whole thing in full detail, but you also wrote intricate notes for each member!
Wataru: Fufufu. Anzu-san has been putting her time to good use♪ That is exactly why you a producer that we respect and trust!
Gatekeeper: Somehow I can't help but agree. I can’t believe this woman. She seriously seems like the type of person who never takes a break from working, even on holidays. She'll die young if she keeps this up
Gatekeeper: While living a luxurious and healthy life with all the money I gave her, she's been gathering all kinds of data to come up with proposals that she wants to produce for the idols of ES
Gatekeeper: Not only that, she also used my money to buy equipment and materials that she might need in the future. I don't know whether to call her strong-willed or spineless, and at this point I don't even want to bother getting angry anymore
Wataru: Fufufu. If you did not forbid such actions beforehand, she won't be able to recognize your intentions
Wataru: I mean to be fair, you aren't doing this just to simply hurt us— right, Gatekeeper-san♪
Gatekeeper: Don't call me Gatekeeper-san. That is how he used to call me(2). Whenever other people call me that, it brings back some uncomfortable memories
Gatekeeper: When you refer to me, just call me "Gatekeeper"
Wataru: That's not even your real name, right? You've become one of this people whose mask has become their main personality. I feel a bit of kinship with you!
Gatekeeper: That's just how it is with most adults. Regardless if it's a captain, a manager, or even a prime minister— there is nothing more important than the title that you possess
Gatekeeper: The only private assets that you should concern yourself with are the ones used for making children
Gatekeeper: And I'm just an officiate(3). That kind of "opportunity" isn't possible for me anymore, so being a "gatekeeper" is good enough for me
Wataru: How crazed! I like that about you! It's surprisingly rare to find people who are as scrupulous as you are!
Gatekeeper: Hmph. If everyone worked like me, as diligent as a machine, human society would have been more complete a long time ago
Gatekeeper: Although, I doubt something like that would actually happen— It'd be troublesome if it did
Gatekeeper: After all, what we really need is to be unified and controlled by a great being like The Boss(4)
Wataru: So, have you come here and visited me just to complain about that?
Wataru: While I do love people who care for me, you don't have a lot of time on your hands, now do you?
Gatekeeper: Hm. You're right, it's finally the big day. I've been waiting for this for a long time, the last two months or so
Gatekeeper: But. It's still too early to relax, and I don't want to slip up at the last minute... In the meantime, I'll do everything that I can(5)
Gatekeeper: "fine". It's quite the hassle, but I entrust Anzu to you
Gatekeeper: I promised to keep her until the end of the qualifying round, and now that the time has finally come— I'd like to return her now, but
Gatekeeper: As you can see, she's very motivated and itching to produce her idols
Gatekeeper: And if she makes any roundabout moves now, it'll become quite troublesome
Gatekeeper: Now it's your job to control and manage her
Gatekeeper: No. Dare I say this but, you better watch over her properly
Wataru: It's only natural that we would, but why us?
Gatekeeper: I'm sure you punks can handle her without being driven mad. Tenshouin is, for better or for worse, a man who thinks very rationally
Gatekeeper: He knows knows how to use his trump card. That's the kind of guy who should always have the button ready to fire his ultimate weapon at any moment
Wataru: Actually, Eichi is the kind of person who sometimes acts on emotion too, you know?
Wataru: You may think that you know everything, but you might unexpectedly be missing what's right in front of you!
Gatekeeper: Yeah. With your help, he is left "in this current state" for a while, and thanks to that he hasn't gotten to the bottom of anything yet
Wataru: I agree. I hadn't expected Eichi to go into such a frenzy just because I unexpectedly disappeared! Although, I did hope for it to be the case!
Wataru: If you put that into consideration then it was fun, in many ways... "Sanctuary", I mean♪
Wataru: I was happy to see so many different faces of Eichi that he rarely shows me! Although I do apologize for being quite the inconvenience to you♪
Gatekeeper: Normally I would use the "order" and "secret order" as an excuse, but this time you can blame everything on me
Wataru: You want to play the villain role too, perhaps?
Gatekeeper: That's right. You might not already know this, but I'm very much used to doing all the dirty work
Gatekeeper: I'm fulfilling the mission that He gave me, willingly and joyfully
Gatekeeper: I will stop anyone who dares to come close. I will not allow anything, not even the smallest pest, to enter the gate

(1) Wataru actually simply calls Anzu a “囚われの姫君" or "Captive Princess"
(2) I'm not completely sure if I wrote the distinction well enough, but Wataru calls GK "門番" (monban-san), while GK wants to be called "ゲートキーパー" (gētokīpā), because the prior name is how Godfather referred to him
(3) Not really sure how other tlers translate GK's "宮官だ" title, I'll update it in the future when I can identify what better term to use.
(4) Also I'm not quite sure what other tlers use to translate "御大" (what GK calls the Godfather?), I'll update it in the future when I can identify what better term to use.
(5) What GK says is "打てる手はすべて打っておく" or "I'll hit all the hands that I can hit" which means exactly as it is used above
Eichi: (..... I still cannot believe that we had stood on stage with Trickstar, who we used to be in conflict with. If someone in the past had told me that this would happen, I wouldn't have believed it)
Eichi: (To think that this day would actually come. I am suddenly reminded of how interesting life can be.....♪)
ENDING 1
Tori: Waah, I'm so tired.... Yuzuru, massage my shoulder~
Mao: Yuzuru just left his seat just now, so how about I massage it for you? Think of it as a reward for doing your best out there~
Tori: Really? Thank you, Prez♪
Wataru: Then, let me be the one to massage Yuuki-kun's shoulder ☆
Makoto: Ugyah!? What's this unfamiliar feeling on my skin.... wait, is this hair? What are you doing behind my back? I'm scared
Hokuto: Hibiki-senpai, please stop messing with Yuuki. Just massage his shoulders normally.
Wataru: Fufufu. But it'd be boring to do it "normally". Yuuki-kun, where would you like to be massaged? Over here?
Makoto: Ahaha, that tickles! Stop trying to squeeze my sides~
Eichi:.....I thought I just heard the sound of laughter. It looks like they are even tickling each other too. What a strange sight.
Yuzuru: Everyone seems to be having fun. What a peaceful sight; I wish I could watch this forever
Subaru: It'd be boring to just watch you know, Fusshi~? Here☆
Yuzuru: Oh.... I never thought the day would come when I would be hugged by Akehoshi-sama like this
Eichi: Fufu. Don't mind me, Yuzuru is all yours
Eichi: (..... I still cannot believe that we had stood on stage with Trickstar, who we used to be in conflict with. If someone in the past had told me that this would happen, I wouldn't have believed it)
Eichi: (To think that this day would actually come. I am suddenly reminded of how interesting life can be.....♪)

ENDING 2
Hokuto: ......Ah, it's you, Anzu. Why are you beckoning from over there?
Eichi: Don't hesitate to come in. You're the one whose done the most for this FUSION LIVE after all♪
Yuzuru: Before the staff begins dismantling the stage, they suggested that we should ride on the balloons used in "CrossingxHeart" again. So, what do you think?
Makoto: That sounds like fun, let's ride one♪ I was so nervous during rehearsals so I couldn't take my time to enjoy it.
Mao: Me too. There aren't a lot of opportunities for us to ride a balloon, so let's do it to celebrate♪
Wataru: Fufufu. I have a balloon that I can ride whenever I want but.....
Wataru: The balloons for the FUSION LIVE are special. Let me join you in riding them.....☆
Tori: Hey hey, since we're riding them again, Anzu should come with us too. The view from the balloon is really nice
Tori: You might feel scared while you try to get used to the shaking, so I'll make sure to escort you. Does that sound good?
Subaru: Yay, Anzu is gonna ride one! Now I wanna come too~☆
Tori: Eeeh~ I'm the one who invited her first, so Akehoshi-senpai should go ride with someone else
Subaru: It's fine. Isn't the capacity of one balloon up to three people? I wanna ride with you guys!
Mao: Give up, Tori. Once Subaru decides on something, he's not going to give up on it.
Subaru: That’s right, I won't give up on it....☆
Tori: Don't get all high and mighty on me~.....! Geez, I guess it can't be helped
Tori: However, I'll be the one to take Anzu's hand and lead her to the gondola. That's the one thing I won't give up on
Subaru: Sure sure. Let's head to the stage! The gondola is waiting for us.....☆
Tori: Ah, young master. Please keep your eyes forward and walk straight so that you don't fall
Eichi: Fufu. The sight of Anzu-chan walking with her left hand on Tori's and her right hand on Subaru's is truly enviable(1)
Hokuto: Regardless if we're going to ride or not, let's follow after them. I want to be able to absorb the scenery from up the stage while I still can. I want the memories of today to motivate my tomorrow.
Eichi: I agree. Let's go.
—
(1) Here, Eichi says " まさしく両手に花だね " or "walking with flowers in both hands". It's supposed to mean that the person is in a very desirable/enviable situation, so I just wrote it as it is instead of using the idiom.

Subaru: Hurry hurry~ I can't wait any longer. I want to jump out there and yell "Thank you everyone"!

Subaru: "Yahoo~☆ is everyone feeling excited~?"
Subaru: "....Ahaha. Thank you for the energetic response!"

Subaru: "I say but I'm actually going to Ukki~! Ya~y☆"
Makoto: "Eh, me!? Y-Yay~"
Mao: "Haha, he didn't need to pull a feint for that. This guy..."
Mao: "What did you think of our song "Rebellion Star"?.... Mhmm, I'm glad everyone liked it"
Mao: "Thank you for waving your arms in tune with the music. It really felt like us and everyone in the audience were performing as one"
Hokuto: "I gave it all I've got while performing so I wouldn't have any regrets. It'd be a shame if I didn't"
Hokuto: "But thanks to doing so, I was able to enjoy the song in a new way"
Hokuto: "In order for us to meet like this again, we as Trickstar will continue to move forward. Please continue to support us"
—
SECTION 8-1
Makoto: Wow... the voices requesting for an encore is amazing. It echoes all throughout the venue
Subaru: Encore, encore.....☆
Mao: Ahaha. Everyone's clapping their hands in unison. What should we do, you two?
Hokuto: Hmph. You already know without me saying right? At times like this, we have to respond to them with all we've got.
Eichi: How brave of you. But can you wait for a little while longer, it seems like the staff is not ready yet
Subaru: Hurry hurry~ I can't wait any longer. I want to jump out there and yell "Thank you everyone"!
Mao: Hey, calm down
Eichi:....Thanks for waiting. It's looks like the stage is finally ready. Let's go up there as soon as they give the signal
Hokuto: Got it. It's time for the finale of our FUSION LIVE. Let's do our best until the very last second.
Makoto: Ah! Anzu-chan, there's one thing I'd like to ask before we go, is that okay?
Makoto: I want you, who have been supporting us all this time as our producer, to send us off
Subaru: .....Thank you, Anzu! Well then, we'll be off now!

Section 8-2 song: BRAND NEW STARS!! or FUTURISTIC STARS!!

SECTION 8-3
Tori: "Hey everyone! Thank you for the encore~...."
Tori: "Oof!?"
Subaru: "I'm so happy to see you all again! Just when I thought that I wanted to see more of this view too☆"
Tori: "Ugh. Stop trying to stick so close to me! And stop trying to lock arms with me either~!"
Subaru: "Ahaha! This is really gonna be the final song, so let's sing along together, Himemin.....☆"
Hokuto: "It's too soon, Akehoshi. We'll sing only after everyone has said a few words about their impressions on our FUSION LIVE. I'll start with mine—"
Hokuto: "Thank you for coming to today's FUSION LIVE. It was thanks to everyone's warm support that I was able to give it all I had"
Mao: "For this performance, we were supported by fine. We were able to perform in a different way than usual, and we learned a lot from it"
Makoto: "Thank you for always supporting us! It's because of your support that I can do my best even through tough times"
Subaru: "FUSION LIVEs are so fun! I love how sparkly it is! I hope we can do this again someday"
Subaru: "Yeah, let's do it! I'm sure everyone here feels the same way!"
Wataru: "Fufufu. When that happens, let's deliver an even more AMAZING performance than we did today. But for now, let's be grateful for the present"
Wataru: "Thank to everyone in the audience, my heart has been filled with surprises and love. Blessed be the world.....☆"
Yuzuru: "It almost feels like a dream. I glad that everyone enjoyed their time today"
Yuzuru: "I am looking forward to seeing you all again. Thank you very much♪ "
Tori: "Everyone, can you all fulfill my final request? Call my name as loudly as you can! All together now~"
Tori: ".... Kyaa, thank you very much♪. I’ll see you all again soon, I promise"
Eichi: "It was over in a flash. I knew it would be, but I can't help but feel sad"
Eichi: "But even though it's over, we'll still have the memories we've made today. The experience of creating this FUSION LIVE with Trickstar will be one of them—"
Eichi: "They whose colors will never fade, and who will guide us to the future"
Eichi: "Thank you for an amazing FUSION LIVE. Give yourselves a big round of applause, everyone!"

Eichi: Fufu. Well there is a saying that goes "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence". I'm almost jealous of their popularity.
Eichi: ....Idols are great aren't they, Wataru
Section 5-1 song: The Tempest Night

SECTION 5-2
Eichi: "......Thank you for that thunder-like applause. Fufu, I see lots of smiles that have bloomed like flowers(1)"
Eichi: "Our FUSION LIVE is coming to its final stages. Next up is Trickstar's performance"
Eichi: "Please do continue to enjoy yourselves all throughout the live♪"
< Location: Backstage >
Yuzuru: Oh, Anzu-san. Thank you for all your hard work♪. You were watching over us from backstage, I see
Tori: Fufu, I hope you saw how good my singing and dancing was♪
Tori: Ehehe. Being compliment by Anzu makes me feel even more energetic. I'll do my best until the very end, so you better watch me closely!
Wataru: Ah— what a loud cheer.... It seems as Trickstar has finally taken the stage
Yuzuru: Fufu. Young master, is your body feeling chills?
Tori: Wow, you're right. This is embarrassing.....
Tori: I really like the song they're singing right now. It's filling me with courage
Eichi: Fufu. Well there is a saying that goes "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"(2). I'm almost jealous of their popularity.
Eichi: ....Idols are great aren't they, Wataru
Wataru: Yes, Indeed they are. I wish we could keep listening to their performance, but we don't have the freedom to right now.
Eichi: That's right, we have to prepare for our next song. Anzu-chan, I know you're busy, but do continue to enjoy watching our performance.

Section 6-1 song: BINGBANG REFLECTION
Section 6-2 song: Koi Wa Primavera
—
SECTION 6-3
Eichi: "That was fine's "Koi wa Primavera"! Did the song make you feel like falling in love?”
Eichi: "Now, it's time for the final song of our FUSION LIVE. Up next we have Trickstar's song— "Rebellion Star""
—
(1) Just in case anyone got confused by that, Eichi is comparing the smiles of the audience to the flowers that blooms after the rain falls and gets shone by sunlight.
(2) What Eichi originally says is 『隣の芝生は青く見える』or “the lawn next door looks blue”, and the metaphor used here is the common english version of the metaphor. There are other japanese variations of the same metaphor, such as “the flower next door looks red”.

Section 2-2 song: Only Your Stars (Trickstar Ver.)

Makoto: ".....That was Trickstar's "ONLY YOUR STARS!", everyone! So, what did you guys think?"
Hokuto: "Thank you for the loud applause. It's great to know that everyone enjoyed it"
Mao: "We've sung "ONLY YOUR STARS!" so many times, but I can never get tired of it"
Mao: "Every time we sing it, I always learn something new. It makes me happy to know that we're definitely growing.....♪"
Subaru: "It's a wonderful song that can make anyone feel positive! I love it too☆"
Makoto: "Akehoshi-kun's performance was really good! Even I got excited from watching♪"
Subaru: "My body is performing "ONLY YOUR STARS!" on muscle memory, so the moment that the intro played, it's like a switch in me just turned on"
Subaru: "It was really fun since everyone in the audience sang along too. I want to sing it one more time.....♪"
Subaru: "Now, then, let's move on to our next song! "BREAKTHROUGH!""

Section 3-2 song: BREAKTHROUGH
Section 4-1 song: Owaranai Symphonia
—
SECTION 4-2:
Eichi: "You had just listened to "Owaranai Symphonia". did everyone enjoy it?"
Yuzuru: "As you can observe from the lyrics, it is a song that connects us and everyone in the audience"
Yuzuru: "I hope that through this performance, we as fine were able to share the feeling of joy, hope and happiness to you all"
Tori: "I agree. No matter how much you try to stretch your arms, there is only so much that you can reach"
Tori: "But if it's a song, we can share to as many as everyone in the audience. We will put all our feelings into our songs and deliver it to you.....☆"
Wataru: "If it's me, I can stretch my arms as far as I want. Just like this~"
Tori: "Ack, since when did you get behind me!? That's gross~!"
Tori: "Ah. Going back to the song, Eichi-sama's performance was really brilliant. I was so moved by it......♪"
Eichi: "Fufu. Thank you. But, I was only able to shine as brightly as I did because I had you three to support me"
Eichi: "A Symphonia is composed of four or more movements(1). It's because of Tori, Wataru, Yuzuru, and everyone here in the audience who are supporting us that a melody was able to form.
Eichi: "Now then, let us proceed with the next song "The Tempest Night"— with this, let us create a storm"
—
(1) What Eichi says here is "シンフォニアとは 交響曲" which I'm assuming he's referring to how symphonies are technically(literally?) conducted. Since symphonies are done in three or more (but typically four) sections called movements, it's like he's saying that without all four of them, the song wouldn't have been performed as magnificently as they did.

Trickstar x Fine FUSION LIVE STORY
Prologue | Section 1&2 | Section 3&4 | Section 5&6 | Section 7&8 | Epilogue1&2
Wataru: How about a human canon? One that blasts you from one end of the stage to the other....☆
Subaru: Ooh, that sounds interesting~! I want to see Ukki flying in the sky ☆
Makoto: Eeeh? Why does it have to be me!?
Subaru: Ah, you're here. We've been waiting for you, Anzu!
Tori: Anzu, sit next to me. Yuzuru, poor Anzu some tea~
Yuzuru: I have already prepared it in advance. Please, have some. Do be careful as the tea is still quite hot.
Yuzuru: It may be a bit boring on it's own, so do feel free to enjoy as much of these pastries as you'd like♪
Wataru: Fu fu, it seems like they are to your taste. Just watching you eat is making me full
Tori: Did you know I specifically chose these sweets for you, Anzu? Aren't you glad~? Ehe ♪
Eichi: Well, now that everyone is here, let us begin discussing the 4th "FUSION LIVE". As everyone here knows, the combination this time will be us, "fine", alongside "Trickstar".
Eichi: Even if it's temporary, to think that us who were once in conflict with each other will be acting together in the same unit. Fate works in mysterious ways.
Hokuto: Well, there is a saying that goes "yesterday's enemy is today's friend". Although I don't remember ever becoming friends...
Hokuto: Now that it has been decided, let's do our best. We will be in your care.
Makoto: Yeah, let's do our best. Every FUSION LIVE so far has been a success so I feel a lot of pressure, but if we're going to do this, I want our live to be the best one yet.
Mao: I'm sure our fans have high hopes for us, so we have to meet their expectations perfectly. I wonder what we could do...
Wataru: How about a human canon? One that blasts you from one end of the stage to the other....☆
Subaru: Ooh, that sounds interesting~! I want to see Ukki flying in the sky ☆
Makoto: Eeeh? Why does it have to be me!?
Mao: Don't worry. I'll take some responsibility by looking after your glasses for you.... Just kidding♪
Mao: Aside from the content of the performance, we first have to decide which unit will lead first
Hokuto: Yes. Anzu, please share with us your thoughts on the matter.
Anzu: (chooses TRICKSTAR)
Hokuto: I see. You want to leave this to Trickstar huh, thank you
Hokuto: You won't regret it. Alongside our fans, we'll make sure to live up to Anzu's expectations as well
Anzu: (chooses FINE)
Eichi: Eh, to think that you decided to choose fine. It makes me happy
Eichi: Rest assured. Now that you've decided to have us lead, we will promise you a perfect performance
—
Mao: Now that we've decided the unit that will lead the performance, let's talk about the content of the live
Wataru: That's right. Yuuki-kun, what kind of human canon would you like to use?
Makoto: Umm, even if you ask me that.... Akehoshi-kun, help me~!
Subaru: I gottcha, Ukki~ I'll join you inside the canon! Let's both become sparkling stars together.... ☆
Makoto: Why do we have to do that!? Ugh, if I don't do something, at this rate I'll really be sent flying~
Tori: Geez, you know you guys can mess with Yuuki-senpai later, right? Let's focus on talking about the live
Makoto: T-That's right! the content of the live huh... deciding the first song should be our priority, right?
Hokuto: Yes. In order to guarantee our success, it seems like a good idea to choose an idol who will take the center position to engage the audience
Hokuto: For the sake of impartiality, will Anzu do the honor of deciding for us?
Anzu: (Chooses SUBARU)
Subaru: Woohoo! Thank you, I knew Anzu would choose me
Subaru: How should I make things more exciting~? I'll think of lots of ideas, so feel free to consult me on them☆
Anzu: (Chooses HOKUTO)
Hokuto: You want me to be the one to pull the first song? All right. As Trickstar's leader, I'm already used to this kind of role
Hokuto: In order to raise the voltage of the venue, let's give it all we’ve got
Anzu: (Chooses MAKOTO)
Makoto: Eh, you want it to be me? Thank you... It's kind of embarrassing to be nominated
Makoto: I'm really nervous, but I'll my best since you chose me. I hope you'll support me along the way......♪
Anzu: (Chooses MAO)
Mao: Hmm? You want me to excite the audience? I'm okay with it, but doesn't the hurdle seem a bit high?
Mao: Ahaha, I'm just kidding♪ Thank you for your nomination, Anzu. I'll do my best so that you'll be glad you left the job to me
—
Mao: We've got most of our set-up decided, but what about you guys?
Tori: I think Eichi-sama is a good choice. After all, he is the leader of fine
Eichi: Thank you. But, there is no rule that states that the leader should be the one who stands out the most
Eichi: I think its okay for someone other than me to lead. Right, Wataru?
Wataru: I agree. If you want to be surprised, I'm probably the right person for the job
Wataru: If you want to bring out our loveliness, it'd be best to leave that to our princesses........ ☆
Yuzuru: "Princesses"? Does that include me?
Wataru: Fufufu, Now, Anzu-san, please choose the person who is most suitable for this exciting role ☆
Anzu: (chooses EICHI)
Eichi: Oh, So you also want to leave this role to me? Sure, I understand.
Eichi: Since Anzu-chan and Tori have both nominated me, I'll have to do my absolute best. Now, how should I get the crowd excited...♪
Anzu: (chooses WATARU)
Wataru: I, your Wataru Hibiki, thank you for your nomination
Wataru: Since I have been chosen for the role of inspiring excitement, I promise to bring everyone an AMAZING time.......☆
Anzu: (chooses TORI)
Tori: Eh, Anzu thinks it should be me? Well, I guess it can't be helped~☆
Tori: I'll liven up the first song for us
Anzu: (chooses YUZURU)
Yuzuru: You would like to leave such a role to myself?
Yuzuru: .....Ah, I apologize for acting non-plussed. It's just that I had not anticipated it
Yuzuru: I am honored to have been selected. I will do everything in my ability to meet your expectations
—
Subaru: It looks like fine has also decided who will liven up the audience on their first song. What are we going to do next? Practice for the live?
Mao: Before we move on to that, isn't it important to decide our costumes? Isn't that right, Anzu?
Makoto: ......Okie dokie. Let's decide which costume we want to show off with "Rebellion Star"
Hokuto: So are candidates are the "BIGBANG costumes", the "Halloween costumes", and the "Trickstar unit costumes" huh.... Hmm, regardless of what we choose, all these costumes are good options.
Subaru: All of them are popular with our fans, so it's hard to choose~
Subaru: .....I know, how about we try wearing all of them?
Subaru: We'll take the top from the "BIGBANG costume", we'll take the bottom from the "Trickstar unit costume", and we can take the cat ears from the "Halloween costume".......☆
Mao: Ahaha, that sounds like a dangerous combination. Which costume do you think is good, Anzu?
Anzu: (chooses a TRICKSTAR COSTUME)
Makoto: So we'll be wearing that costume, huh. I also thought that one would be a great choice, so this makes me happy♪
Mao: I'll write a note on my smartphone so we won't forget. The costume for "Rebellion Star" is.... there you go
Subaru: More and more of the contents of our FUSION LIVE are getting decided! I'm getting super excited☆
Subaru: Hey hey, what are we going to decide on next? The breakfast menu for the day of the live?
Hokuto: Everyone has the freedom to choose that one by themselves
Subaru: Then let's choose the snacks to bring to the dressing room! Our budget is 300 yen.......☆
Mao: Hey, this isn't a field trip you know~? Seriously, regardless of where he is or who he's with, this guy just never gets nervous huh.
Makoto: But that is what's great about Akehoshi-kun. That's something I'd like to emulate from him.

Tori: Huh? What's that photo you're holding, Anzu? Show me, show me~
Yuzuru: These are photographs from live performances of fine. Every shot of the young master is absolutely adorable♪
Wataru: Hoho. Do you want us to decide which costume to wear for "Habataki no Fortissimo" among these pictures?
Eichi: The "Tempest costume", the "Magnolia costume" and the "fine unit costume" seems to be the best match
Eichi: It's difficult to narrow it down to a single one. I am quite sentimental about all of these costumes
Yuzuru: As that is the case..... Anzu, if you wouldn't mind, would you do the honor of deciding for us?
Yuzuru: We would gladly put on whichever costume you choose......♪
Anzu: (chooses a FINE COSTUME)
Tori: Yup. This costume is a perfect fit for "Habataki no Fortissimo"
Tori: Fu~fu. You really know us well. As expected of Anzu......♪
Yuzuru: ....I see. So there will be costumes tailored for the FUSION LIVE as well
Wataru: Amazing! If there's a special outfit for the occasion, it will definitely make everyone more enthusiastic. I am wholeheartedly looking forward to them.......☆
Eichi: Indeed. As it is for a joint unit, the outfits will also have the same style as Trickstar
Eichi: Of course, Anzu-chan will be the one making them, correct? I'll be expecting an excellent design from you, fufu.
—
Mao: We're done going over the set list and production plan. This is a great place to end the meeting—
Mao: Wait, I forgot. We haven't decided what to sing for the encore yet
Eichi: Anzu-chan wants us to decide between "BRAND NEW STARS!!" and "FUSIONIC STARS!!", right?
Eichi: I agree with you. Since this is a FUSION LIVE, I think it'd be a great idea to choose a song that we can all sing together
Tori: I want to sing both of them, but that would be a bad idea since it'll take too much time...... then—
Anzu: (chooses SONG)
Yuzuru: It seems that all the important details have been decided. Thank you for all your hard work, everyone.
Hokuto: Now all we have to do is move in preparation for the live. We can't let the FUSION LIVE stall out on our turn
Hokuto: As Trickstar and fine, let us cooperate with each other by utilizing each other's unique strengths
Eichi: Fortunately, since we are from the same agency, it's easy for us to schedule and secure time for lessons
Eichi: I hope we can show a performance that transcends the boundaries of our units
Subaru: Then, let's have a kickoff party at StarPro right now! Let's deepen our friendship for the live performance.......☆
Mao: That's a great idea. You should join us too, Anzu. You should tell us all about the previous FUSION LIVEs so far
Mao: I've watched all of the videos you've shared with me, but I'd also like to hear about it from the producer's perspective
Makoto: That's true. You've been involved with the FUSION LIVE since the beginning, so you probably know more about it than anyone else
Makoto: It'll really be encouraging if we can get some advice. What do you think, Anzu-chan?
Tori: Anzu will be coming as well? Woohoo♪
Tori: Eichi-sama will be attending too, so we have to make this the best kickoff party ever! Yuzuru, go prepare lots of delicious dishes!
Yuzuru: Understood. I will arrange it as soon as possible♪
Wataru: Fufufu. It's finally our turn. Things are about to get exciting, Eichi
Eichi: Indeed. I'll do my best not leave any regrets

Kaoru Hakaze Birthday Preparation Mini Talk (2021)
[ TALK 1/3 ]
Kaoru: He~y, Anzu-chan!
Kaoru: Sorry I'm late. I kept you waiting, didn't I? My previous job took longer than expected...
Kaoru: W-Well... So, you said in HoldHands that you wanted to talk to me about something?
Anzu: (Option 1) I want to talk about the event
Kaoru: Oh, are you talking about my birthday event?
Kaoru: Yeah. Everyone in UNDEAD seems to have had one, so I've really been looking forward to doing it too♪
Anzu: (Option 2) I'm thinking about the birthday event
Kaoru: I see. It's almost my birthday soon, huh.
Kaoru: Fufu, thank you. I'm very happy that Anzu-chan will be the one planning my event♪
Anzu: (Option 3) It's your birthday soon, right?
Kaoru: Eh. Y-Yeah, that's right.... Don't tell me, is Anzu-chan going to celebrate my birthday?
Kaoru: ...Oh, you were talking about my birthday event. Haha, I guess I was getting ahead of myself.
[ TALK 2/3 ]
Kaoru: Speaking of which, how much of the event has been decided?
Kaoru: For example, what can I do at the event?
Anzu: (Option 1) Play games with everyone at the venue
Kaoru: Ah. Now that I think about it, Hajime-kun mentioned doing something like that. If I remember correctly, I think there was a drawing quiz?
Kaoru: It would be great if we could play something like a party game together... Is that kind of game okay?
Anzu: (Option 2) Corner where you can talk about your hobbies
Kaoru: Hmmm. How about giving tips on marine sports or recommending ocean spots?
Kaoru: I see. If I can share those hobbies of mine, it will really feel like a corner of my event♪
Anzu: (Option 3) You can do whatever you want
Kaoru: Eh? I can do whatever I want?
Kaoru: Hmmm. I've never really thought about what I wanted to do with my fans at an event like this.
[ TALK 3/3 ]
Kaoru: Looks like it's already gotten quite dark outside. We've already decided what kind of corner we're going to do, so let's call it a day.
Kaoru: Thinking about various ideas together was fun. Thank you, Anzu-chan.
Kaoru: It's already pretty late, so if you want, I can take you to the station.
Anzu: (Option 1) I appreciate the thought, but...
Kaoru: Eh. You still have more work to do after this, Anzu-chan? So you'll be organizing some paperwork, huh....
Kaoru: Geez, you shouldn't do that. You have to rest properly. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll help, so let's finish it and go home together
Anzu: (Option 2) It's alright.
Kaoru: You're always going home alone so you'll be okay, huh.... Well, I assumed that was the case but....
Kaoru: Eh? Then, you'll walk with me until the front of the dormitory? No wait, the dormitory is right there!
Anzu: (Option 3) I've got more work to do in a little while.
Kaoru: I see. You have to watch over a photo-shoot after this, huh.
Kaoru: You have to go to the studio in ES, right? Then I'll walk you to the front of the studio.
