All: Kimi to ‘Ai'dolish Nai to~!
Iori: This web program is presented by the seven of us, IDOLISH7, and takes place the same time as our tour to seven cities, “Visual Board Tour”.
Mitsuki: It’s sad that we had to leave Hiroshima. But starting today on February 21, we are visiting Fukuoka! People of Fukuoka, please take care of us~!
a track from Free! -Starting Days- movie original soundtrack 「Pure Blue Scenes」 entitled Pure feelings for you. there was a lot of anticipation for this gorgeous track that played during Makoto’s line 「僕は、ハルちゃんも水泳も大好きだから、一緒に泳ぎたい！」 in the movie.
Hi I'm back on my idol franchise theory bullshit except this time I have now expanded it into literally just music franchises. I'd like to think my assignments on this after research and confirmation from over 10 friends also in the franchises is right.
Doing this also made me realize we need a fucked up unhinged female music media franchise NOW. please.
you were meant to see this post. this post showed up on your screen for a reason. you are loved. whatever issue you may be going through right now, whether it be school or family or love, it will pass. it will pass, and you will be okay in the end. you will survive this.
I mtl-edited Sougo's "Sugao" rabbit chat! I took this on bcz there's been no tl of this card for nearly 2 years (T_T) .... Even though my JP is lackluster I wanted to try it. So this turned out 50% Google and 50% dictionary.. Please let me know if you find anything awkward or incorrect and I'll correct it!
＊ Please note that you're free to re-translate it fully in human translations!! This was a temporary thing I did and If you post it, please contact me thru dms and I'll take down this translation! Thank you.
Please note: I am NOT a professional and my level of JP is very, very basic. I do this for practice and to share with other fans for fun. Please take my translations with a grain of salt as there may be mistakes. If you see any, please let me know and I can correct them. If anyone else has this card and wants to translate this at any time then please feel free to do so!
*door opens*
Riku: Manager! President…!
Tsumugi: Ah, everyone! Thank you for coming! I’m sorry to have called you all so suddenly….
Riku: Is it really true that Banri-san is getting married?!
Tsumugi: Huuh?!
Tamaki: I didn’t hear anything about this from Ban-chan!!
Sogo: Me neither…!
Nagi: Is this why you’ve called us here today?
Iori: If this is true, we could’ve made preparations to celebrate…!
Mitsuki: Exactly, there’s no need to be a stranger! I would have made a cake or two!
Yamato: Calm down, you guys. So…. is it actually true, President?
Otoharu: Ahaha. This is pretty interesting, isn’t it?
Tsumugi: Pr- President?!
Otoharu: Well, if that’s the case and Banri-kun is getting married, what will you all do?
Mitsuki: Of course we have to have a huge celebration! Not just with cakes, but a whole feast!
Yamato: For starters, I’ll prepare the finest alcohol and we can have a drink. I’d like to stay up all night and hear the story of how he met his other half.
Tamaki: ….. I’m….. kinda lonely.
Tamaki: I love Ban-chan, and I’m happy for him, but…..
Sogo: … I think so, too. I’d like to talk to Banri-san first.
Riku: If he has a family, he wouldn’t be able to support us like he does now, right…?
Nagi: Even so, we have to send him off with a smile. Just as Banri has always done for us.
Iori: In the first place… is it really true? I just can’t believe he would keep this from us….
Otoharu: Hmm, well, it’s not true.
IDOLiSH7: Eh?
Otoharu: Banri-kun isn’t getting married.
IDOLiSH7: Whaaa—!
Tsumugi: I- I’m sorry, everyone! And President, please don’t say things that can cause them to be so uneasy!
Otoharu: Ah ha ha. Sorry, sorry.
Riku: Thank goodness…. I was thinking about if it was maybe with our manager or something….
Otoharu: What was that?
Yamato: No, no, absolutely not.
Nagi: As long as my eyes are blue, I will not allow it.
Otoharu: I will also never allow it.
Tsumugi: E-enough! In any case, it was just a misunderstanding.
Mitsuki: So, what did Riku hear then? About Banri-san telling the staff he was taking time off for a wedding.
Tsumugi: Well, that’s what I’ve called you all here to discuss today….
Tsumugi: Someone in the industry is holding a wedding ceremony, so Banri-san and I will be attending.
Otoharu: Originally, I was going to go as the representative, however some work came up.
Tsumugi: I’ve heard from the other companies that Anesagi-san, Okazaki-san, and Utsugi-san will also be going….
Otoharu: The wedding ceremony will be held in Karuizawa, so I thought it would be a good chance for the managers to take a vacation as well.
Otoharu: It might be an inconvenience to everyone for a little while, but I plan to follow up with the other staff and give them my thanks.
Tsumugi: I’ll be checking my phone from time to time, so please contact me should anything happen!
Yamato: Haha. Well, I figured it was something like that.
Nagi: OH! But you seemed to be the most flustered, Yamato.
Yamato: What is this guy even saying?
Iori: I swear, you’re too quick to jump to conclusions upon hearing the word “wedding”, Nanase-san.
Riku: Huh?! Even you froze up when I told you, Iori!
Mitsuki: Jeez! The instant you guys realized it was a misunderstanding, your facial expressions relaxed!
Sogo: I’m glad we know now. Manager, please don’t worry about us and enjoy your time off.
Tamaki: Yeah! You and Ban-chan are always working hard. I got nervous when we got called to the office!
Tsumugi: Thank you, everyone….!
Otoharu: I’m glad. I hope all the managers can go and refresh themselves.
Riku: Doesn’t Karuizawa have a famous gelato shop? Tenn-nii went there before while on location and said it was delicious!
Yamato: That sounds nice. Go ahead and enjoy some sweets too.
Sogo: I know of a few recommendations for places as well, I can tell you about them later.
Mitsuki: Sweet! There’s a restaurant I wanted to try too, so if you’d like to go, you can let me know what you think!
Nagi: Your happiness is my happiness. Please go and relax to your heart’s content.
Tsumugi: Thank you very much…! I’ll accept everyone’s kindness and enjoy myself to the fullest!
Tamaki: You absolutely have to try the local King Pudding flavor with grape mousse in it, no matter what! It’s seriously delicious!
Tsumugi: I will! I’ll bring some back as a souvenir, too!
Tamaki: Yaaay~!
Iori: Yotsuba-san, please do not coerce her into buying you souvenirs so nonchalantly.
Iori: Even though it’s already September, it’s still hot out, so please take care against the heat.
Riku: Forget about work while in Karuizawa and just enjoy your time with all the other managers!
Tamaki: Oh yeah! Since all the managers will be there, why not just have that party there?
Sogo: That’s true, it might be the perfect opportunity!
Tsumugi: ‘That’ party?
Nagi: Banri’s birthday party! We all talked about having the yearly celebration!
Yamato: It’s that time of the year, after all.
Tsumugi: I see….! I’d love to help! Did you already have something in mind?
Riku: Yeah! Actually….
—–––––
Anesagi: …. And that’s about it for next month’s schedule.
Anesagi: On another note, I have my wedding coming up soon. So I’ll be away from the office for a few days.
TRIGGER: Your wedding?!
Gaku: Wait, wait. Are you being serious, Anesagi? Congrats! Let’s celebrate together!
Tenn: Congratulations, Anesagi-san…. I’m really happy to hear such wonderful news.
Ryuu: I’m happy too! She's getting married, huh…. It’s making me cry a little!
Anesagi: W-wait a minute, you guys….
Gaku: So? What kind of person are they? I hope they’ll properly treasure you.
Tenn: The entertainment industry is a unique business, so I can’t help but wonder if they have an understanding of the work you do so that it doesn’t put a burden on you, Anesagi-san.
Ryuu: I think whoever she chose must be a good person, but there’s the smallest chance that’s not the case, right? So if you don’t mind, we’d like to meet them, too.
Anesagi: Hold your horses! It got interesting so I figured I’d just keep quiet and listen for a while, but then I heard what you were saying about me.
Anesagi: I’m not the one getting married, it’s an acquaintance of mine! I’m just attending the wedding!
TRIGGER: An acquaintance?!
Ryuu: W- what…! I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions…!
Gaku: So you’re only attending! It was an easy mistake to make, huh!
Tenn: Even though you were the first one to misunderstand, Gaku.
Anesagi: Fufu. Sorry about that. Just as I was thinking you were happy for me, you guys suddenly got over-protective so it was fun to watch.
Anesagi: But if I were to actually get married, you would be worried about me like this, huh.
Gaku: Of course we would worry! If we’re to entrust you to someone, then they can’t be half-hearted about it.
Ryuu: You’re our special manager. We want your partner to cherish you, too.
Tenn: Just as you think about us, we also think about you, Anesagi-san.
Anesagi: You guys….
Anesagi: Thank you. But for right now, my only love is my work so I promise you don’t have to worry about it for a while.
Anesagi: The wedding will be held in Karuizawa, so I’ll be taking some time off and staying there, but feel free to contact me for anything.
Gaku: Forget about work and just enjoy yourself! There’s a lot of good food there, right? Plus the air is clean!
Tenn: That’s true. There’s a lot of quiet cafes to relax in too. Or maybe you can sit on the terrace.
Ryuu: It’s too early for the leaves to be turning yet, but there’s still a lot of nature so please take your time and enjoy it!
Anesagi: Fufu. Thank you. I’ll go and recharge, and when I get back I look forward to making the best work with you guys!

Rintaro: ….. Rinto will be absent for his wedding soon. So I hope you both will be able to send him off with a smile.
Yuki: Sure, whatever you say. Don’t phrase things in a purposefully misleading way. Okarin is just attending a wedding.
Momo: We already heard about it from him!
Rintaro: Ehh–! How boring. I thought I’d get to see you guys panic, like, “What marriage?!”
*door opens*
Okarin: Please stop trying to get reactions from people for your own entertainment.
Rintaro: Gh, Rinto.
Yuki: Instead of doing such nonsense, just have your own wedding.
Momo: Aren’t you keeping your wife waiting? Hasn’t it been awhile since your registration?
Rintaro: I can’t afford to leave a gap in my workload right now.
Yuki: I wish you would just retire already.
Okarin: Alright, come on now, Yuki-kun. I’ll be sure to pass along the congratulatory gift you two left with me.
Momo: Thanks, Okarin! We wanted to go too since they’ve done a lot for us.
Yuki: Could all our shoots be moved to Karuizawa?
Momo: Ahaha! Even if the camera was rolling, we could take a nap under the trees with the sun filtering through.
Yuki: I’d like to go for a month.
Rintaro: Then, we can make it a job to have Yuki compose a song for my wedding and have the music video shot in Karuizawa.
Yuki: Okarin, shut this guy up.
Okarin: Idols shouldn’t furrow their brows like that…! You shouldn’t ever show a face like that on camera! And President, please stop messing around!
Rintaro: I thought it would be nice.
Okarin: I’ll bring back souvenirs. Some sausage for Momo-kun, and some local vegetables for Yuki-kun!
Yuki: That'd make me happy, but since it’s a rare vacation, I think you should just relax and go with the flow.
Momo: Exactly! The managers from the other offices will be going too, right? I’m sure you’ll have lots to talk about, so just enjoy yourselves!
Okarin: Thank you very much. There’s a lot I’m worried about, but I’ll take your word for it and just have fun.

Shirou Utsugi: ….. So, that’s why I’ve called you all here. I’ll be going to Karuizawa to attend an acquaintance’s wedding, so I’ll be taking some time off.
Touma: Eh?! You’re getting married?!
Haruka: Huh? What are you talking about?
Minami: He just told us he’s going to an acquaintance’s wedding.
Touma: O- OH….. I see. That scared me….!
Torao: This is why I told you that you drank too much yesterday. This guy’s head is foggy.
Touma: Haha, my bad. Tora was drinking, and it got too lively….
Haruka: What, you two went out drinking together? This is the first I’m hearing about it.
Minami: It seems like you two had work together yesterday, but isn’t it heartless you didn’t tell me?
Shirou Utsugi: Umm… Are you fighting?
ZOOL: We’re not!
Shirou Utsugi: Is that so? Well, after a reaction like that, I look forward to seeing what kind of reaction I would get if I really got married.
Zool: …………
Minami: He doesn’t really seem like the domestic type, but I could see him suddenly dropping a bombshell on us one day and telling us “I’m getting married"...
Torao: Although he’s never shown us even a trace of a woman, he definitely seems to fall into the category of someone who would be popular with women….
Touma: I don’t know why, but it feels like he’d marry someone really famous….
Haruka: Utsugi-san is really kind, so maybe he’d be surprisingly family-oriented? I could see him cooking home-made meals on his off days….
Haruka: ….. But, still…..
Haruka: …. It’d probably be sorta lonely.
Shirou Utsugi: You’d be lonely?
Haruka: No, not really, I’d just congratulate you normally!! It’s not like I wouldn’t want you to get married…!
Minami: I understand. It’d be lonely if he had someone special besides us.
Touma: I see… Well, when you put it like that….
Torao: Haha. It seems we’ve become quite attached to Utsugi-san.
Shirou Utsugi: You guys…. Thank you. That makes me very happy.
Shirou Utsugi: My special ones are the ones who are in ZOOL.
Haruka: …… Yeah. We know. (1) That’s why you can spread your wings as much as you’d like.
Minami: We’re looking forward to the souvenirs.
Torao: There’s some good stores there, I can tell you about them later.
Touma: We’ll rabbichat you if anything happens, so right now your only job is to take a break!
Shirou Utsugi: Haha, thank you very much. I’ll be sure to strengthen my friendships with the other managers as well.

End of Episode 1
TL Notes:
The word Haruka uses here has the connotation of like "we understand the feelings you're trying to convey"
