So for Maizono's swimsuit event, what did you think about her reaction to Naegi's reaction to her swimsuit? Why was she so concerned about his opinion on it?

Thank you for good question. This had me thinking quite a bit.

Throughout the game, Maizono strives to be everyone’s ideal idol and works very hard for it. She asks Shinguji to recommend her some books so that she can add depth to her performance, she tries singing genre that she usually didn’t, she goes around and ask beauty tips to the girls, she asks Harukawa advice on how to cooperate with children because she wants to contribute to idol industry by helping younger girls. She’s very sincere in what she does.

And since having a pleasing appearance is part of her profession, I think she couldn’t help being concerned when Naegi couldn’t really answer how she looked. 

But this doesn’t mean there’s no personal feelings behind it. When Souda complimented Maizono’s swimsuit, her reaction was polite and modest. But when Naegi did, she looked very happy. 

Naegi’s reaction is worth noting too, I think.

I’ll come back to this later. My laptop’s been down three times while I was writing this.

I've recently done Tsugumi's Swimsuit event in HDS and something's bugging me. Sayaka mentioned that her PARENTS gave her a dress, but I'm pretty sure she said in THH that she didn't know her mother, so why are parents in plural? You seem to know the Japanese version, so is this some translation issue or the writers just forgot Sayaka's backstory?

It's translation issue. In Japanese version, Maizono merely states that she got the idol dress as a present, but she didn't say who gave it to her.

[bamboo-woods]

So far, I’m satisfied with the official translations.

[bamboo-woods]

Is it not december 3rd yet there in US?

Why can’t I play this thing?

[bamboo-woods]

Kind of curious what Maizono wants to do when she grows up given her conversation with Kuwata in DRS.

Considering all the other events shown so far, she's intending to do idol as long as situation allows. If you have the game, I highly recommend watching Maizono's event with Shinguji and her rarity U event!

[bamboo-woods]

Could you translate the Maizono/Kotoko conversation? I'm curious about that one.

Maizono&Kotoko Close Friends Interaction

Maizono: Utsugi-san, it's been a while. Do you, remember me?

Maizono: We co-starred in a variety show once.

Kotoko: Of course, I know you. Who doesn't know you?

Kotoko: But... I don't know anything about co-starring. It's a story from buried past.

Maizono: Ah... I'm sorry. It was something you did not want to touch.

Kotoko: I retired months ago. It's a distant past.

Kotoko: Even so, they call me "Super Elementary School Level Arts Festival Period", bringing me to places like this...

Kotoko: If it wasn't for Monaka-chan, I would be complaining furiously.

Maizono: For me too, when I was your age, months seemed like a very long time but...

Maizono: When you grow up, your standards change gradually.

Maizono: I guess that's why people around Utsugi-san can't keep up with Utsugi-san's changes.

Kotoko: Really, it's bothersome! I'm a normal girl now!

Maizono: For Utsugi-san... that is the happiness.

Kotoko: In the first place, I didn't even want to become popular.

Kotoko: Since you're still in that business... you might never understand.

Maizono: ... yes. For me, it's a dream I barely managed to achieve.

Maizono: That's why, I'm not criticizing or thinking weird of your choice.

Maizono: If Utsugi-san is smiling, then that is the first priority.

Maizono's 'Possibilities for Talent' Event

In order to find a new possibility in our talents, what should we do?

Maizono: (New possibility... going overseas, or trying different areas... If I could go easy, there are many things I could choose, but it's not that kind of story. Possibilities... me from now on... a future, as an idol?)

- Let's think about when I grow up. (Leon) - Let's think about idol business in general. (Harukawa) -> Let's think about continuing this for life. (Kotoko)

Maizono: Utsugi-san, don't you plan on going back to entertainment business?

Kotoko: No-pe! I'm going back to being a normal girl!

Maizono: Is that so... I see.

Maizono: We can't say all the successful people wanted it.

Maizono: Not everyone who wants to be successful, can be successfull... and they can't keep on being successful too.

Kotoko: For me, I don't understand the feeling of liking that business where it's full of hideous adults.

Kotoko: Since you're really cute, I think you might know this already...

Kotoko: Does being cute, come with great responsibility?

Kotoko: If you are surrounded by hideous adults, then won't the day when you want to butcher everyone come?

Maizono: Certainly, it's not a world where you can chase only pretty dreams but...

Maizono: I believe that, the beauty of the dream that idols had shown me when I was young, is real.

Maizono: I, want to keep on living in the world I had been dreaming of.

Kotoko: It'd be good if only people wishing for it like you saw the hell but,

Kotoko: Well, that's that! I want to play with Monaka-chan!

[Intent to keep on being an idol, oncoming good lucks, the determination to continue... I thought about many things...]

-------------

Kotoko’s been going through hell in this world too...

[bamboo-woods]

So, Maizono tells Saihara that among her fans, there’s a person who predicts her group’s future correctly every time on SNS. She asks Saihara to guess who that person is. She had asked Hagakure already and he’s not the one. 

And I’m still searching for the answer. If anyone ever gets the answer, please do tell me.

There are other mysterious events happening in the game so it’s fun to look through

[bamboo-woods]

which maizono interactions do you think are your favorite so far in danganronpa s?

I've seen 31 events where Maizono appears so far,

and I really can't choose one. So many of them are so good.

I'm happy that they went deep with her character and covered her thoughts about her career in-depth.

Her conversation with Kotoko left me quite an impression though.

I thought Maizono's interaction with Aoi was cute too. Or Ibuki&Akamatsu&Maizono too.

Junko&Naegi close friends conversation

Junko: Aah, I swim, I swim. And I win, it's so boring. Naegi: Enoshima-san... you're really awesome. Someone who does model for a work has so much stamina compared to looks... * Junko: Ah, does it look bad? Me, swimming for hours even though not being a swimmer looked bad? Naegi: No... I think keeping the body in shape is hard, and I was wondering if it was standard to exercise that much. Junko: I'm perfect without doing things like this though! Well, I just tried it because I had spare time. Junko: Aah... Really, I can't help it with my free time. It feels so empty without what I hope to do. Naegi: There isn't... what you hope to do? Junko: I got despairly bored of things keeping centering around me. There is an unpredictable heart-pounding future waiting for me... there used to be. Naegi: I, is that so... Naegi: I don't mean to show off while not knowing much but... I think it'll be alright if it's Enoshima-san. Enoshima-san is, always bright and strong... and is smart. Junko: You're trying to say, I'll be able to find a new life and head towards hopeful future for sure? Naegi: Yeah, I think you will. As a classmate that's been watching Enoshima-san for 3 years... I really do think so. Well... I ended up showing off anyways. Junko: It really is despair. Naegi: Eh? Junko: Naegi-kun doesn't have an eye for people! Well, the speech was little enjoyable though! Naegi: Don't joke like that... I do realize that I said something ugly.

-----------

*Naegi says something very similar in an event with Mukuro too.

[bamboo-woods]

Is there an interaction with Togami and Kamukura? If there is, could you translate it if you have the time?

Togami: Kamukura Izuru... If it's you, then you can handle all the arms here, correct?

Togami: Using these, eliminating all the disturbing Kemonos... could be possible.

Kamukura: Yes. Due to safety reasons within programn world, there's a safety lock on all the weapons but... unlocking the safety and eliminating all the Kemono would take half the day.

Togami: Then, why don't you do so? Is it because no one asked you for it... is it that kind of... usual childish reason?

Kamukura: Asking something you already know... you've got surprisingly not much to do.

Togami: Your talent... if you can't control it, use it for me. Aren't you thinking about what to do after graduation in that form?

Kamukura: Hmph... is it a scout.

Togami: I could give you any amount of payment you name... but there's no hope to that.

Togami: You could say the money you need every time. If that's too bothersome, you could hire your own personal accountant.

Kamukura: You can't handle me by making be belong to you.

Kamukura: If you put me near you... in the end you'll become a person parasitizing on my talent.

Togami: There's no way that I'll become weak in front of power... Making all the powers weak, that is Togami Byakuya

Kamukura: You're quite confident.

Togami: Of course... I've come this high on my own with my own feet.

Togami: It may be something that you cannot understand.

Kamukura: ... that scout thing. Can I think about it.

Togami: Think? You're making me wait?

Kamukura: It won't take long. It'll be until this camp ends at the latest.

Kamukura: Before... I've heard from your class's Hall Monitor. That I lack effort.

Togami: Hall Monitor... Ishimaru? He even preached efforts to you huh...

Kamukura: He repeatedly said that I must put effort in finding the uses of my talent.

Kamukura: Those kinds of efforts are meaningless. However, now...

Kamukura: Do something different than usual... Kibougamine Academy, which gave birth to me, is telling me to do so.

Togami: Hmph... So you're going with Ishimaru's suggestion.

Togami: Okay. For the remaining time on this island... if you can't find answer by then, then...

Kamukura: ... alright. I will follow the objectives you give me.

Togami: I don't think you'll be able to find a purpose for your talent... beyond working under me.

Where do you guys keep finding these sorts of events?

[bamboo-woods]

Can you translate the events between Kamukura and Komaeda, please?

A festival to do things unrelated to one's own talent is ongoing! Everyone decided to put play Momotarou on show, so it's right in the middle of the play now...

Kamukura: (My role is Oni* D... Even though I have talent for actor or action stars too, I'd better not stand out.) (TN: Oni is a type of Japanese demon)

- Let's get killed by Momotaro quickly and exit (Peko) - Let's cooperate with quick-looking Oni A. (Harukawa) - > Let's pull Oni D who is onlooking the fight. (Komaeda)

Kamukura: You there... Why are you standing tall? It's unforgivable to stand still on the stage. Komaeda: It's troublesome... I'm resposible for doing other stuffs. So I thought my role was over. Kamukura: At least how about acting as a shield for great Oni? It's that kind of role we have. Komaeda: You're strict... But you're right. Even if it's just a role within a play, for the sake of hope I believe in I...

[Together we shielded great Oni from Momotaro party's attacks, and fell impressively, stimulating the play!]

[bamboo-woods]

Amami&Ouma conversation

Amami’s ‘Possibilities for Talent’ Event

Amami: (A new possibility... Isn't it a little early for me as I haven't even achieved my primary goal? If I can't decide what to do, let's listen to others' voices...)

-> Do you think Ouma-kun will scout me? Do you think Hagakure-kun will foresee my future? It's really surprising that Celes-san talks to me first.

Ouma: If you have a talent, then help my organization! Ouma: Right- for Amami-chan traveling all over the world, I guess a spy role will suit you- Amami: That, isn't something you can ask so easily. If it's for real, isn't it life or death decision? Ouma: Of course I mean it! You think you had quite an interesting journey so far yourself but... Ouma: With me, you can go on a great journey that's more provocating and can make all of United States cry*! (TN: 'Made all of US cry' is a Japanese slang meaning that it's not touching at all. This catchphrase had been used too often to describe a Hollywood movie by Japanese media, so that people began using it for opposite meaning) Amami: Haha... that might sound fun. Ouma: Your answer sounds like you're not even interested 1mm! Amami: I mean, that you're inviting me for real, it's a lie isn't it? Ouma: It's not a lie! It's something about my beloved Amami-chan's future? Amami: You must be joking on me because I look cheerful. I'm not gonna show those sides again.

[I decided to think about my future, more seriously...]

Ouma’s ‘Possibilities for Talent’ Event

Ouma: In the first place, I think putting Supreme Leader's possibility on same level as the others was a mistake- Well, I might look for some new members! It's a lie so I'm only inviting them for laughs.

->There's a guy we need in order to be active all around the world! (Amami) There's a guy with a talent that we really must call! (Imposter) Everyone's looking for mum... I know it! (Tojo)

Ouma: If you have a talent, help my organization! It'll be really helpful if beloved Amami-chan is there! Amami: Sigh... here we go again. Ouma-kun, haven't you made fun of me earlier? Ouma: It's not a lie this time. In order for my organization to spread abroad, we need help from Amami-chan who have been in the field! Ouma: Hey hey, I beg you-! Amami-chan, you're more of friends with bad stuffs, right!? Amami: I don't remember saying something like that... Ouma: But you actually crossed dangerous bridge once, right? You once had come back from abroad with some wounds, no? Amami: Ah... there was one time when I stepped on bad thing. You did notice it, Ouma-kun. Ouma: It was a poor lie to fool me. I could know from the way you were walking, or the way you used your normal unwounded hand. If you don't want to be discovered by everyone at times like that... don't you think practicing lies under me sounds good? Amami: Don't you think that if Ouma-kun was really inviting me with heart, then I suppose you would have driven the situation in a more enjoyable way for me? Amami: That kind of foolish invitation is indeed, a poor lie to fool me. Ouma: Tsk- you could've played along a little longer- Ouma: Nishishi... But if it's now's Amami-chan, I think it'll be okay to invite you for real! Amami: Yeah yeah, I know that's a lie.

[I failed scouting Amami!]

[bamboo-woods]

I can’t believe they don’t have Tenko&Angie conversation and Kirigiri&Komaru conversation.

[bamboo-woods]

Besides, no Momota and Harukawa solo event. 

I can’t believe this one even as I write it.

Close friends event - Momota&Saihara&Harukawa

Harukawa’s Board Game events: Sakura, Kotoko, Syo, Souda, Oowada, Oowada, Tenko, Syo

Harukawa’s swimsuit event: Nanami, Momota, Yumeno

Harukawa’s U event: Chihiro

Momota’s Board Game events: Amami, Hagakure, Nidai, Maizono, Gundam, Ouma, Hoshi, Koizumi, Ouma

Momota’s swimsuit event: Saihara, Momota, Harukawa

I’ve still yet to check Momota’s U event, but thinking about the nature of rarity U event(a rather serious one regarding future careers), I don’t think it’s likely that it’ll be an event alone with Harukawa.

And I’m working on translations. I’ll upload them later!

[bamboo-woods]

Meanwhile in the HDS future: "AHHH! SAYAKA CHAN IS COMING TO US FOR A DINNER!!!" "Dad, why is aunt Komaru always like that when she sees mom?"

omg it's sooo cute I can totally imagine this

I bet Sayaka will be very busy in the future too, so I think meeting her will be like a rare event for Komaru.

thank you for such a cute ask anon :3

[bamboo-woods]

Oh word?? If that's the case, if you have the event, can you translate hajime/chihiro/leon's event, please? Ty for your time!

Chihiro: ... for that reason, in order to keep safety of the program world, heavy checking mechanism was encoded.

Kamukura: Even so... at the start of the camp, we ended up letting Monkuma do anything he pleased.

Kamukura: You were busy preparing measures on external interception and issues related to our lives, so you were lenient on expecting internal attacks.

Chihiro: Uuuh... I'm sorry. I was preparing measures, but as Kamukura-kun have said, I was too ignorant. Even though I thought I've prepared to my fullest... I guess I erased the possibility that everyone might do something from my head.

Kamukura: Is that what you call friendship... Even if you thought you could trust that person, he'll betray when the circumstances change... it's a common story.

Chihiro: Uwuwu... e, even so...

Leon: Hey hey, you guys... what are you talking about during meal time. Doesn't Hanamura's steak taste good?

Chihiro: Ah... right. If we don't eat while it's warm, it'll be bad for Hanamura-kun too.

Kamukura: Are you running away... from thining?

Leon: Kamukura... you I say, you might not have any hard feelings but... somehow sometimes, it surprises me.

Chihiro: I'm not... thinking about running away. I must reflect on this incident properly. Certainly, somewhere, I've been thinking that trusting everyone without a doubt is a good thing... But because of that, it could put everyone in danger. We were late to respond this time... but, we were just lucky.

Leon: Fujisaki... you're being too serious too. Eat and sleep and it's all right to think after that.

Chihiro: Kuwata-kun, thank you. Kamukura-kun too... I'm glad that you didn't pamper me. I'll try to do better from now on. Trusting everyone isn't being a companion... right?

Kamukura: Believing, companions, those are unrelated to me but... I think those thoughts, are effective to you.

Chihiro: Yeah... It really reassuring to hear that. Thank you really.

Leon: No probs... It's Monokuma that's bad y'know?

[bamboo-woods]

I can’t believe they don’t have Tenko&Angie conversation and Kirigiri&Komaru conversation.
