Hello, hello~! Today, I offer you translations for Procella's latest drama CD, "P time"!
When it was first announced, I think most of the fandom was super excited to see how it would unfold. Especially since the cover art and the summary suggested a deep, possibly dark mystery with Yoru as a focus character.
I think the story definitely has a serious and, dare I say, relevant to some modern times issues vibe that will keep the listeners at the edge of their seat! Of course, since it is TsukiUta/Procella, it still has its silly, "Oh, we've jumped worlds again!" moments, but at its core, it's a deep and meaningful story that is bittersweet as it is hopeful.
All right, enough yapping from me! 😂 The CD will speak for itself, I promise~ ^^
If you're able to, you can still buy it here (international cards and shipping accepted) or here (proxy needed) to support the artists.

2025/9/7 No.6 Reunion Asano-sensei Q&A event overview - PART 1/3
This is part one of a digest of the Q&A talk event Asano-sensei did on Shion's birthday last month. Two articles were published in Japanese which summarized the questions and answers at the event, but rather than simply translating those articles, I wanted to do my own summary based off of the event recording. Any errors or omissions are my own.
The event was moderated by one of her editors for No.6, and contains mild spoilers for volumes 1 and 2 of No.6 Reunion. (Thank you @minamiren for archiving the video recording of this event for me when I wasn't able to!)
The Q&A kicks off with a video message from fellow children's lit author Hayamine Kaoru. He says that both he and Asano still live in the towns they grew up in, and do their writing there, and he wonders how that influences Asano's work. He also says that when Asano wrote Battery (TN: one of her other well-known series), she kept a baseball at hand, and asks if she is doing anything special like that as she writes No.6 Reunion.
Asano answers that she lives in Okayama Prefecture. While she can't think of any particular aspect of Okayama that has had explicit influence on her work, because she has lived in the countryside there for decades now, the natural atmosphere of Okayama makes it into her books. Some examples are the way the seasons change, the sound of the rain, and the scent of the earth after rain.
As for his second question, Asano clarifies that when she was writing Battery, it wasn't a leather baseball that she had, but a rubber Japanese-style baseball. For No.6, she says that she lines up a lot of classics in front of her on her desk, starting with Shakespeare. She'll flip through them looking for quotes to use at the beginning of chapters. She has a lot on her desk for Reunion #3 that are gathering dust right now.
Her editor says that she gets the impression that No.6 has been the gateway to classics for many readers. Asano responds that she'd like to make it clear that she hasn't actually read many classics herself—she's not that much of a scholar! She just happened to like Macbeth. She says that sometimes she is asked to write about Shakespeare, and she always refuses, but when she looks through the classics for words, both Japanese and Western classic lit convey a different and unique feeling from contemporary lit for her.
The Q&A then transitions to reader-submitted questions. These questions were submitted through a form on the event's webpage.
The first question asks what the past fourteen years between No.6 and No.6 Reunion were like for Asano, and what inspired her to write a sequel. Asano apologizes, saying that it’s a habit of hers to end stories in a way that leaves the reader wanting to find out what happens next. To illustrate this point, she tells a story about how when she was writing the original series, volume four ended as Nezumi and Shion are just about to drop down the elevator into the Correctional Facility. When she went to see the No.6 musical adaptation, Act I ended at that very same point, and she realized that while musical viewers only had to wait fifteen minutes to find out what happened next, novel readers had to wait an entire year for her to write volume five!
Taking fourteen years to continue No.6 wasn’t actually another instance of that habit, though—it was the result of actually feeling unable to write what happened next. She knew deeply that she needed to write the continuation of Nezumi and Shion’s story, but also knew that understanding that something needed to be done and being able to actually do it were two different things. Thus, she spent those fourteen years caught between wanting to write and being unable to.
What inspired her in the end to begin writing No.6 Reunion were two things: one, she missed Nezumi and Shion, but knew that she was the only one that could do anything about that. Two, the atrocities being committed in Gaza by Israel were a major factor—she saw the city of No.6 there in how adults were launching missiles at unarmed children. No.6 seemed alive and thriving in real life, and she realized that she needed to write No.6 Reunion now—it was no time to say she couldn’t write. What kind of future would Nezumi and Shion build in response to that kind of reality? The third and final reason was that her editor (the one MCing the event) had been bothering her endlessly to write! When No.6 Reunion #1 was finally published, Asano was genuinely surprised at the large number of fans who came out of the woodwork to thank her for continuing Nezumi and Shion’s story. She felt proud of herself for managing to write a story that had touched so many people.
The next question asks if there are any characters who have left a different impression on Asano in No.6 Reunion than they did in the original series, or if there are any characters that don’t feel different to her at all. Asano replies that due to there being a two year timeskip, it’s only natural that everyone would change, but Inukashi especially stands out to her in that they’re living a surprisingly stable, upright life. Both Nezumi and Shion have a certain precariousness to them—if something happens to one of them, the other is also affected. It’s really Inukashi who’s the best at standing on their own two feet, and she thinks maybe that’s why she gave them a child to care for rather than any other character.
The next question asks if what Nezumi was up to in the two year period will ever be revealed. Asano says that volume two of Reunion ended just as he was about to start talking about that to Shion—what he did for the past two years, why he came back to No.6, and what he intends to do now. While volumes one and two focused largely on Shion, she intends for volume three to focus on Nezumi, and then the story of No.6—of Shion and Nezumi together—can truly begin.
The next question asks if Asano is doing anything particular in order to understand Nezumi and Shion’s relationship more deeply, considering that in interviews she has said that she wants to understand their relationship. Asano says that she likes to see how relationships between two people play out naturally, rather than deciding from the start what they will be. While it can be easy and convenient to decide upfront that the relationship between two people is that of lovers or companions, or husband and wife, she just doesn’t find that interesting. She really can’t tell what the current nature of Nezumi and Shion’s relationship is—and thus she writes, in order to better understand it.
She herself doesn’t know at all whether Shion and Nezumi love each other romantically, have some form of very deep friendship, or even perhaps if hatred or fear lurk beneath their feelings of love. It may even be that one of them must kill the other in order for the story to proceed—she truly doesn’t know. Of course, while she does want them to be happy, she also thinks that their future, and the definition of their relationship, is one she needs to discover as she writes, and their relationship may not ever have a clear label to it.
I'm so happy to finally release this!! These subtitles were made with reference to this fantranslation of the original novels (with permission!) Thank you again to rayquo for allowing me to reference your translations!
The link above only contains the .ass subtitle file and not the video. Please do not ask me for the video file!
These subtitles are created for the official bluray, which can be purchased on Amazon! (Aside from Amazon, I don't know what other sites would be able to ship internationally, but if you are able to use a Japanese shipping address, Animate Japan also has it!)
If you'd like an idea of what to expect, I also subtitled the official performance digest video here!!
I hope everyone can enjoy the subtitles! It was great fun working on them!
[Translations] TsukiPro AGF 2025: Six Gravity Intro Tweets
TsukiPro said "Onmyouji AU" and I was immediately locked in!👀
I don't even know how deep the lore is going to be and how far they're going to lean into the Onmyouji aspect, but I am excited all the same!
Man, I've been out of the TKPR loop for a while, but they really are coming back with a vengeance, dragging me back into it. It's like an inescapable cycle LMAO
That said, translation of the theme is tentative because TsukiPro might drop an official one in the coming days. I will edit the post when/if they do!

Translation of "That's already a miracle" from Musical No.6
ミュージカル「NO.6」 · No.6: The Musical · Song · 2025
(in response to @scatteredshowersposts's ask if there were lyrics available for any of the No.6 Musical songs)
This song is a duet between Nezumi and Shion immediately after Shion kisses Nezumi goodbye and goes off to save Safu from the Correctional Facility alone without telling Nezumi. Below are the original Japanese lyrics, their romaji transcription, and my English translation. Any transcription or translation errors are mine as I typed out the lyrics by listening to the song.
Lyrics under the cut!
Nezumi:
That night, when my strength had failed me and I had given up, a window opened before me
You had thrown your hands wide, almost like you were telling me, come on in!
That was already a miracle
Shion:
That night, I heard a voice in the depths of my heart,
and when I opened the window, I met you.
I'm simply drawn to you—there's no reason for it.
Isn't that already a miracle?
Both:
Our chance encounter that night, that was already—
Nezumi:
That warmth I felt for the first time
Shion:
That color of those eyes I saw for the first time
Nezumi:
Feeling at a loss for the first time
Shion:
Feeling pain for the first time
Nezumi:
Those feelings I felt for the first time
Shion:
That everything that I learned for the first time
