[Masterpost] Uta no Prince-sama Dramatic Masterpiece Show Translations

Hello, hello~!! I am back with more UtaPri translations thanks to @melynir~! This time, I present to you the Dramatic Masterpiece Show trilogy! They're adaptations of classic books we all know and love, but of course, they have their own UtaPri twist added~ The main theme songs and, I guess one could say, insert theme songs were all so good and fun to listen to. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be Faust's songs!

The dramas are mostly faithful to the source material, with Dreaming of Oz being the closest (in my opinion), but there are still lots of twists and turns that will definitely keep you seated! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

For those who wish to listen along, the CDs can still be purchased here: Dreaming of Oz | Never Again Neverland | Faust: Last Cantata

Without further ado, here they are! (((o(*°▽°*)o)))

ASSMU Behind the Stage Ver.B [Natsuki, Syo, Ai, Nagi, Yamato] - Translation

Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.

Ai: It is interesting that towards the end of the song, when the 18 of us sing together, the position of the five of us splits into two, with me in the center.

Ai: On the right are Natsuki and Yamato, who are large and adult-like, and on the left are Syo and Nagi, who are small and cute.

Nagi: Nagi may be small and cute, but my feelings are the greatest, so I’ll make the audience more excited than anyone else.

Natsuki: Wah! You’re so lovely, Nagi-kun! Not only are you cute but you’re also cool! Gyuu!

Syo: W-Wait a minute!!

Nagi: Woah!

Syo: Wait, Natsuki! Don’t go hugging Nagi! If you’re gonna do that, it should be with the super cool me.

Natsuki: I understand. Of course, Syo-chan is always cute and cool too. Gyuu!

Syo: Argh! I got it, but-! You’re squeezing too hard!!

Nagi: Jeez, what are you two doing? It can’t be helped. Nagi will teach you how to hug more cutely. Come here for a second, Natsuki.

Natsuki: Okay. Is it okay if I just wait here like this?

Nagi: Yes. Lean down a bit more. Like that. Here we go. Gyuu~ Then let’s both look at Syo and wink! How was that?

Natsuki: It makes it look like we get along well, which is very good.

Syo: Wow, that was damn clean.

Yamato: Hey, Natsuki. If you have any energy left over, be my opponent.

Natsuki: Really? That sounds fun too.

Ai: That kind of thing should be done after practice, not now. Incidentally, I'm pretty confident in my own skills though.

Syo: I mean, I'm not losing either. I'm not talking about height or arm wrestling! What's needed for a live performance is spirit! I'm going to put my heart and soul into singing and dancing for my fans.

Yamato: Yeah, exactly. I can’t waste time. I need more stamina to put on the best live performance I can. Should I increase my training? First, 500 push-ups!

Syo: No, that's ridiculous. We finished practicing the basics and now it's time for dance class.

Yamato: Don't be so rigid about something being a little out of order. Let's do it together! 1, 2, 3…

Syo: I haven't said I'm going to do it yet! Ah, damn it!

Yamato: 4, 5, 6…

Syo: 7, 8, 9, 10

Ai: Okay. I'll leave the push-ups to you two. Shall the rest of us go over the moves again?

Natsuki: Yes! That’s right, Nagi-kun. How about we try to incorporate a moment of interaction with the fans like we did just now in the song?

Nagi: That might be good. Let’s see…

Syo: (out of breath) Hey, don't just leave me like this, do something about it!!

Ai: (sigh) It can’t be helped… Yamato! Let's stop that for now. Since we're all here, let's all review the choreography together so that we're all in sync.

Yamato: Now that you mention it, you’re right. Got it.

Syo: Thank god! I'm so glad Ai’s here.

Natsuki: Ai-chan is our center not only in that part of the choreography but also figuratively.

Nagi: I guess I can kinda see it.

Yamato: Natsuki, that was a good line!

Syo: I feel like having Ai in the group gives it a nice balance. Let the five of us create a new harmony.

Ai: I think I understand what everyone is trying to say. Well, thank you. Now then, I think we should get back to the lesson. After this, Syo and Yamato will do push-ups. Let's start again from the beginning.

Yamato: Sounds good. It’s the perfect schedule.

Syo: Let’s do that. I’ll do my best!

Natsuki: Then I'd like to join in on the push-ups too.

The Silver Shoes - Translation (銀の靴)

Please do not repost/retranslate without permission.

I have also made a version which includes the members' notes found in the script.

[To the Land of Oz - Munchkin, daytime]

Arrival to another world. The Munchkin Country, where everything you see is blue.

A beautiful story-like world, rich in nature.

A peaceful place, full of happiness.

Theo regains consciousness little by little.

Theo: (groaning)

When he opens his eyes, he sees strange men looking at his face.

Little person 1: He woke up.

Little person 2: He woke up!

Little person 3: He woke up…

He’s surprised as they suddenly come into view, and jumps to his feet.

Theo: (startled scream)

Little person 1: He’s frightened.

Little person 2: He’s frightened!

Little person 3: He’s frightened…

Theo: W-Who are you…?!!

Little person 1: Don’t worry.

Little person 2: We’re on your side.

Little person 3: We’re not going to hurt you.

Theo looks around.

Theo: Where are we?

The little people welcome him with exaggerated movements.

Little person 1: Welcome

Little person 2: To the Land of Oz’s

Little person 3: Munchkin!

Theo: … Oz? … Munchkin?

Theo calms down and directs his attention towards the surrounding landscape.

Theo: What a beautiful place… Everything seems to shine. It’s a stunningly bright country… It’s very different from Kansas…

They agree, brimming with confidence and nodding vehemently.

Little person 1: That’s right!

Little person 2: It sure is.

Little person 3: It is, isn’t it?

Theo, becoming increasingly amused by the little people, laughs.

Theo: … Haha, and everything is blue! Lush trees and blue-roofed houses. And even your clothes!

The little people swiftly kneel before Theo.

Little person 1: You have brought peace to our beautiful country, sir!

Little person 2: Indeed! Wonderful Mr. Wizard!

Theo: … Wizard!? Me…?

Little person 3: Because you have defeated that terrible, Wicked Witch of the East!

Theo: Defeated…? The Wicked Witch…?

The little people point with great vigor.

Ahead of them, the barn that had been sent flying along with Theo is wrecked.

Theo: That’s my farmhouse’s barn…

Little person 1: You came down from the sky and crushed the Wicked Witch, sir.

Theo is surprised and confused because he has killed someone, even if indirectly.

Theo: What!? Oh no… Did I kill her?

Little person 2: There is nothing to be sad about! The Wicked Witch has been ruling over us and treating us cruelly for a long time!

Little person 3: If anything, we would like to express our sincere gratitude. Thank you!! Thank you so much!!

The little people take Theo’s hand and shake it firmly.

Theo: … You’re welcome… I’ve never had people thank me like this before, so I’m kind of embarrassed.

Theo notices that Terry is gone and looks around nervously.

Theo: … Come to think of it, Terry… What happened to Terry!? Hey, have you seen a boy around my age wearing a gray vest and checkered pants?

Little person 1: Gray! Such a dull color!?

Little person 2: That’s an outfit unsuitable for this country!

Little person 3: Someone like that would definitely stand out from the crowd.

Theo: … He’s not nearby. But I’m sure Terry must be in a similar situation.

Theo puts his hands together as if he is praying.

Theo: I have to look for him… I beg you, please be safe… I don’t want to part ways after a fight. Terry and I are going back to Kansas… Hey, I want to go back to Kansas, what should I do?

Little person 1: Kansas…?

Little person 2: Have you heard of it?

Little person 3: No, I haven’t!

Theo: Kansas is an empty place, but it means a lot to me. My uncle and aunt are probably worried about me, and I really want to go back to Kansas!

Little person 1: We don’t know what it’s like there or where it is, but…

Little person 2: Ask the great wizard, Oz, and he will surely grant your wish!

Theo tilts his head in curiosity.

Theo: Oz…?

Little person 3: He’s the wonderful man who built Emerald City in the center of this land!

Theo: How can I get there?

Little person 1: There’s no other way but to walk. It could be a long, long journey.

Little person 2: The road to Emerald City is paved with yellow bricks, so you’ll definitely recognize it!

Little person 3: Of course, it’s not just a simple road. There may be danger.

Little person 3 walks up to Theo.

Little person 3: More importantly, would you be willing to take the place of the dead witch and rule our country?

Theo: It’s a tempting offer, but I have to go. … Even if you don’t know what will happen, if you don’t take the first step, nothing will change…

He tries to walk away and hits his foot on a stone.

Theo: … Ouch! Oww… When I got caught in the tornado, my shoes came off. I was 

so absorbed in it that I didn’t notice…

Little person 1 holds out a pair of silver shoes.

Little person 1: Then use these shoes!! They were worn by the Wicked Witch of the East.

Little person 2: The witch used to boast about these silver shoes! They must be valuable.

Theo: … They’re beautiful… But I can’t just take someone’s belongings…

Little person 3 taps Theo on the shoulder.

Little person 3: No need to hesitate! It’s not like the witch will ever wear these shoes again.

Little person 1: That’s right! Just think of it as compensation for having gotten rid of the witch!

Theo nods and puts on the shoes.

Theo: Okay… I guess I’ll borrow them for a little while... … Oh, they fit perfectly!

Little person 2 raises his hands in the banzai gesture.

Little person 2: That means you are the chosen one for the silver shoes! A new wizard is born!

Theo: … It’s just a coincidence that we happen to wear the same size. Well then, I’ll be on my way! Heading to Emerald City!

Theo walks away with a confident gait.

[The Land of Oz’s Great Wizard - Emerald City, Oz’s room]

Oz’s crystal ball makes a sound as it senses something unusual is occurring in the country.

Oz: … This… The crystal ball is resonating... Is there a great anomaly in the Land of Oz? Go on, project it. The origin of that change…

The crystal ball projects Theo’s image into the air.

Oz: … Hmm. A single boy, huh? He’s like a frightened lamb. Confused… And begging for help.

He stares fixedly at the facial expression of the projected Theo.

Oz: Is it a manifestation of your lack of self-confidence… Or is it the uncertainty of not knowing where you’re going…?

He shakes his head, spreading his hands out to the side in dismay.

Oz: It appears that he has no ambition to overcome this problem. Opportunities do not come to those who do not try. Is it because of his inexperience that he’s unable to realize that…?

Oz crosses his arms as if in thought.

Oz: But where did he come from? This is a magical land… There is no way a regular human could enter… Is this an omen of trouble?

The crystal ball makes a sound again.

Oz: What…? What is it this time?

The crystal ball projects Terry’s image into the air.

Oz: Another child…? This one is not afraid at all, his eyes are sparkling with curiosity. Very interesting…!

He smiles broadly as he checks on Terry, looking amused.

Oz: But will it work out…? Not everything is as it seems. You’ll find out that even in a dream-like world, there is a harsh reality… We can’t live on dreams and aspirations alone.

Oz looks hard at Theo and Terry as if comparing them.

Oz: What do you seek and what will you accomplish…? Let’s see what happens. I wonder if we’ll find the answer at the end of this journey…

Oz swishes his cloak.

7th Stage Special Interview - Taniyama Kisho (Translation)

"Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!"

No reposting or retranslating without permission.

Click read more for the full interview.

What did you think about the shooting for this pamphlet? 

I'm glad we were able to shoot at a good tempo. I don’t usually wear yellow clothes, so the photo shoot made me feel like the “Uta☆Pri” live show is about to start again. But I also think that it’s a surprisingly fitting color. I’ve recently noticed that the colors of the teams I support in the NBA are all yellow. It felt a little bit like it was fate.

How did you feel when you first heard about the 7th STAGE?

I thought that everyone really loves "Uta☆Pri". I tend to be rather cynical, but I understand the fact that everyone is asking us to do so. However, since it will be held after the movie version, there will be more expectations than ever before, so that will be tough (laughs).

Please tell us your impressions of "Uta no☆Prince-sama! Maji LOVE Kingdom" after having watched the completed film.

It was greatly done, it managed to express what everyone wanted to see on screen. As a pioneer in male idol genre, I think “Uta☆Pri” should be the first to produce an animation of a live show of this quality. In terms of direction and camera work, “Egoistic” in which Natsuki participated was so cool that we wanted to try it ourselves if we could. I want to kick the birdcage! As for the song, I was happy that I was able to show my highest key.

How did you feel about the members of this special unit song?

I don’t think there is a member in “Uta☆Pri” who doesn’t have a strong ego, but even among them, I think the three of them are a unique combination. So, at first, no matter how much they sang or talked, it felt like “Yeah, we are really going to clash, aren’t we?”, but then I feel like they gradually started getting accustomed to each other. In reality, I wonder if “Even if we sing in dissonance, it’s precisely in that imbalance that something curious can be found.” In the end, I think we were able to create a charm because the three of us weren’t a natural perfect or the best fit.

Taking into account the drama part, it became a song through which you can feel Natsuki's inner strength.

That’s right. Although Natsuki is usually a natural airhead and a spontaneous person, it was surprisingly him who led the unit in the direction it took. He is thoughtful towards others, and perhaps he realized his own role by watching the two of them closely. I thought that it was interesting that as a result of the chemistry between the three of them, Natsuki was placed in a position he had rarely held in ST☆RISH. The key point is that Natsuki became the person he is today because he became one with Satsuki, not because he was capable of it from the beginning. It’s an important part of his personal “depth”.

Do you think that the release of your solo best album has helped you gain a renewed understanding and appreciation of your idol?

Certainly, it was an opportunity for me to become aware of my own emotional attachment toward Natsuki. I want to become more conscious of singing “as Natsuki” than before, and I think I have put all I can into the new song. The truth is, I even wanted to re-record all the songs.

By the way, what is the “Egoistic” thing that you want to say to “Uta☆Pri” ?

As my works have become more established, I have proven the significance of my existence, so I think my craving for the limelight isn't as strong as it used to be. But it would seem that it is not Na-chan or Sa-chan’s ego, but rather Kī-chan’s that causes me to add improvisation in the live performances (laughs). I light-heartedly think “Oh, Mamo (Miyano Mamoru) did an improv! Next, I’ll be the one to do it too~” The important thing is that we distribute it fairly between us and that everyone has fun. When I look at everyone, I see how much they shine and I think that’s great. I always want to make the live show more exciting by contributing what I can.

How did you feel about the performance of the group songs?

I like all of it so much that I can't point out one specific moment. “ULTRA BLAST” was a performance that showed that ST☆RISH could sing such hard songs while keeping their framework as idols.

The fans’ “fanchants” were also powerful.

I thought it was a good initiative to unite everyone and share the same groove, as one would expect from an idol’s live presentation. As for me, I'm especially happy to hear people shouting the group name “ST☆RISH.'' It makes me feel like, “That's right, we are ST☆RISH!'' (laughs). After all, I don’t want to forget the pride of being the first group in the “Uta☆Pri” series.

What was the most memorable part of the last song and encore?

I like “Maji LOVE Kingdom” because it reminds me of the good old idol songs of the Shōwa era *[1926-1989]. At any rate, the stage performance with all three groups together was a thrilling sight. It's heart-warming to see how the trajectory depicted in the TV series has been integrated into this movie version.

All the costumes were unique, but were there any that caught your attention?

I love the costume for “Egoistic” so much that I want to wear it myself.

Natsuki might originally want to go for something like “Colorfully Spark”, but he's tall and would surprisingly look good in the black robe of “Sōai Träumerei.'”

Please tell us about some of the most memorable moments from past live performances.

With this kind of thing, the bad memories are more vivid than the good ones. Although I only have myself to blame, my form at the 3rd STAGE was the worst. However, I’ve been keeping it bottled up inside me for a long time, but just the other day I had a chance to look at the footage and was relieved to see that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Nevertheless, I would like to perform the duet song “Still Still Still” with Mamo again. That was at the end of 2013, and I quit smoking right after the new year started. It's been six years since I quit smoking and I'm really glad I stopped, not only for my personal music activities, but also for expressing Natsuki's existence and talent through singing.

What do you want to say right now to the idol who will be your partner in the live performance?

To “descend.” Because I believe that if I can have even a little bit of Natsuki's mind inside me on the day of the live concert, everyone will appreciate it.

Finally, a message to "Uta☆Pri" fans who purchased this pamphlet!

Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!
