I'm sick and my disabled cat hurt himself so I translated something silly to make myself feel better 😭

Who will come in first place!? Monthly derby
The top stars of each troupe predict who will be top!
What will the results of the race be…!?
This month’s topic:
Who seems like they’d be good at piloting a spaceship?
Akatsuki Chisei:
Everyone seems like they’d be good, but I think it would be Chinatsu-san (Houzuki An). She seems like once she got a feeling for it she’d drive effortlessly. I think everyone else would be struggling to drive and oh! somehow she just does it. Towaki-san seems like she’d enjoy driving and be in high spirits. I have a feeling that at first she’d say “I can’t do it!” but then she’d do it smartly. Asami-san seems like she’d burst out at super speed so I’m not sure about that (lol). My image of Sakuragi-san is that she’d drive while laughing hard and saying, “I can’t do it!” I think I could do it. Getting the hang of things like that is a strong point of mine. But Chinatsu-san seems like she’d just glide along so I think she’d be first place.
Sakuragi Minato:
Piloting a spaceship seems extremely difficult since you’d have to understand the systems and such. Plus I think you’d need stamina and physical potential, so Chinatsu-san seems like she would be the best at it. I’m sure I could never do it, but I’d like to try once (lol). Hitoko-san (Towaki) would probably say “let me ride!” while looking like a cute spoiled child, so I think the passenger seat would be her specialty (lol). Ari-chan (Akatsuki) is good at driving a bike on stage and getting into tight spaces, so she could probably do it. Aasa (Asami) is good at driving cars as well so I think she’d be good at it, but I think she’d see outer space and go “Wow, isn’t that amazing!? What do you think that is!?” So I would be frightened to leave the piloting to her from a crew member’s perspective (lol).
Towaki Sea:
It would be Zun-san (Sakuragi) because she’s in Cosmos Troupe, right? She was in “Legend of the Galactic Heroes @ Takarazuka” too, so she seems like she’d excel in space. Chinatsu-san…. seems like she’d look good in a space suit. She can pull off that sort of cool-looking thing so I feel like she’d be in place on board a spaceship. Ari has good athletic abilities… I always end up talking about athletic ability (lol). But it would be in zero gravity so that might be difficult to grasp intuitively. Asami-san seems like she would be doing simulations and studying the controls up until the last minute. I am way too scared to do it (lol) Stars (making a gesture of them going past) go by like “whoosh!” right? The speed is on a while different level, so I’d be scared (lol)
Houzuki An:
Everyone’s good at driving a car, but for a spaceship… Well, number one would be Zun-chan because she’s from Cosmos Troupe. She has the kind of appearance that would look good in space (lol). An image like “Legend of the Galactic Heroes @ Takarazuka.” I think I’d want Hitoko-chan to be in charge of the map and navigation. Aasa seems like she’s good at driving too, so I’d have her sitting next to Zun-chan as the co-pilot. Ari-chan would be a little scared to drive a spaceship (lol) but I think she’s someone that would be good at floating along lightly in zero gravity so I’d have her playing freely like that… yes, that’s how I’d arrange everyone on board together (lol). As for me, I’d be scared of meteors and things flying at me… so I’ll be waiting on the ground (lol). I’ll be on the Earth’s surface with the support team cheering everyone on.
Asami Jun:
Who seems like they’d be good at piloting a spaceship? I have no idea! Huh, a spaceship… I guess it would be… Chinatsu-san? Yes, that’s what I’ll go with. She seems smart, so the instruments… how to say, I feel like after she studied how to pilot the spaceship once she’d be able to do it right away. And let’s have Hitoko be the copilot next to her. I get the impression she’d be alongside giving support. And then, Zun-chan and Ari-chan and me would be in the back checking supplies and such? We could be in charge of making sure all the necessary supplies were properly loaded. After that, we would watch the situation outside (lol). Enjoying the scenery of space outside, yes, I think the three of us would have fun doing that (lol).
