Season 2 begins! A set of new ghouls appears!!! (Top text)
dionysia dormitory (big red writing on the side)
A group of entertainment performers ──────────────────────── that run a circus
Dionysia is a dorm reminiscent of a closed-down amusement park, and professor Nicolas is it's advisor. Within it, there’s a dazzling circus tent where you can watch a variety of performances put on by students who’ve honed their unique talents, it became popular as one of the few sources of entertainment within the academy. Additionally, Mio creates mechanical devices that are useful in many places both inside and outside the school.
They’ve returned from the containment facility… Are they salvation or something else entirely— (red-white writing)
Elias Pratt CV: Hiroo Sasaki (gold writing on the right)
𓊈Oh no, I'm nothing special. I just handle the odd jobs around here.𓊉
A mysterious figure who works as a janitor on campus. He is actually a fourth-year ghoul currently on probation for certain reasons, and rumor has it he used to be the captain of Dionysia. Though he is an easygoing free spirit, there may be more to him than meets the eye...
◆︎ One of the three abandoned dormitories ◆︎
The One-Eyed Sleeping Beauty Murder Case, in which a general Ultio student who had close ties with ghouls died, sparked a civil war, and the dormitories of Dionysia, Clementia, and Ultio were defunct. (Writing in the pink diamond shaped box)

Jo Kongoza CV: Kohei Yanagi
𓊈I can't hear your applause, cutie𓊉
The captain of Dionysia and ringleader of the Dionysia circus troupe is warm, outgoing, and supportive. Well-liked by students within and outside of Dionysia and often sought out for advice, Jo is a popular figure on campus, but he rarely talks about himself.
Mio Susuhara CV: Kaito Takeda
𓊈We're alike? ...That's a little offensive to her, don't you think?𓊉
The vice-captain of Dionysia and a master craftsman, Mio is the leader of Darkwick's clockwork artisans. From building stage sets and mission-ready tools to handling repairs across the houses, there's almost nothing he can't do—and requests for his handiwork are unending.
Shion Genkai CV: Tatsumaru Tachibana
𓊈She's my family. I've got to cherish her.𓊉
Shion loves to watch people cry and tremble in fear. His twisted actions have made him a pariah on campus, but he doesn't feel the slightest bit of remorse. He has an unnerving obsession with you and your fellow second-year Mio, the vice-captain of Dionysia.
◆︎ What's their relationship with the other dorms and former Dionysia ghoul, Sagara Haru? ◆︎
Having previously been a Dionysia ghoul, Haru seems to be feeling uneasy about it's reinstatement. They also have some tension with Taiga, and seems to be on bad terms with Sinostra. (Upper diamond shaped box)
◆︎ Why were the ghouls of Dionysia detained? ◆︎
At a certain academy on the outskirts of Tokyo, a special unit oversees a containment facility built to handle frequent anomalous incidents. Some students are held there for their own protection—but what is the real reason behind their confinement…?” (Lower diamond shaped box - Struggled to get a good translation on this, this is the one that made most sense, if you've got better, let me know!)

Nov 2023 issue of B'sLOG translation Special Feature: BIG LOVE! Tall Guys feat. Diavolo
[PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD] (reblogging okay)
What kind of world does he see? BIG LOVE! Tall Guys
His "tallness" is a personal trait brought about by his genes.
What kind of scenery do they see in this world of his?
This month's feature features a large group of tall boys!
Let's find out the secret of his height in this exclusive Q&A only on B's-LOG♪
① What are the "good" and "bad" things about being tall?
② What do you think is the reason you grew so tall?
③ Who do you prefer, tall people or short people?
④ What if you could get some ability in exchange for being 30cm (nearly a feet) shorter?
DIAVOLO
① What are the "good" and "bad" things about being tall?
The good thing is that it's easy for people to find me when we meet. The bad thing is....... It's hard to hide. Actually earlier I was just trying to sneak out of work for a while, and Barbatos found me.......
② What do you think is the reason you grew so tall?
Due to my position, I pay special attention to my posture, so I've always been conscious of keeping my body straight. Thanks to that I became taller....... Perhaps that was how it happened.
③ Who do you prefer, tall people or short people?
Well, I've never cared about someone's height. I think a person's height is a part of who they are, but I don't think it determines their attractiveness. Regardless, I would like to make eye contact while talking with them.
④ What if you could get some ability in exchange for being 30cm (nearly a feet) shorter?
May I have a 30cm tall pudding? Uh but, I would probably be scolded by Barbatos for eating too much of it... But that 30cm pudding is hard to give up... Right, let's have Beelzebub's help to eat it up.
P.S. no official height of Diavolo was provided in the magazine. Other characters from different IPs have it, except for Diavolo.
☆ spent the whole weekend indoors as I had planned but sick which was not planned (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ) flipped through some magazines I picked up in japan since I was stuck in bed the whole time but these pretty illustrations helped pass time~ ☆
[1/2] Online B’s-Log Interview with Satoru Kuwabara
Update:
- (2 Sep 2020) Correction “ When we started making the unit songs, we didn’t make hip hop songs, afraid that the female players may stab us” --> “When we started making the unit songs, we didn’t make hip hop songs, afraid that it wouldn’t resonate with the female players”
* * *
Released 4 June 2018
Original source Part 1
The original article has pictures that complement well so please check it out too.
B’s-Log started a new project, “Creator Touch”, an interview series with creators of popular series. The first person they interviewed was Satoru Kuwabara, the music producer of Ensemble Stars!.
In this first half of the interview, they asked about how Kuwabara started to get involved with Enstars unit songs. Kuwabara also talked about the points he focused on in the song series that have been released so far. (~2.8k words)
In the second half, they talked about song numbers that left the biggest impression on Kuwabara, the 3D live concert, the voice actor live concert and Enstage. (~2.2k words)
Some of the info has already been published somewhere before, so this may be a repetition to some. But otherwise, it can be a refresher as well. Enjoy!
Q: Kuwabara-san, you’re also Arte Refact’s representative. Could you tell us what your job entails?
K: As part of Arte Refact, my work revolves around anime and game music. It doesn’t mean that I’m not working with other genres at all, but Arte Refact is basically a company where people who love anime and games gather around. So we want to surround ourselves in that world and conform to it as much as we can.
Q: Could you tell us what started your involvement in Enstars unit songs?
K: Before the game release, a person I was indebted to gave me a tip, “There’s this game that’s coming up,” he said, and showed me the proposal and illustrations. I had a look at it and thought, “I really want to do this!” If I remember it correctly, it was around about the start of the preregistration period, so the only information I had in hand was that it had the high school idol theme and idol units. It also had a simple description of each character and a main theme song. I was sure that they would already have songs for the units prepared as well, so when I was given the chance to introduce myself to Happy Elements, I made some unit songs while expecting to be shot down. There were 8 announced units, so I visualized and prepared 2 songs for each unit and went to present.
Q: This was before the game even started… So you made these songs with so little information to go on with.
K: The unit that I misunderstood the most was fine. It’s pronounced like “fee-nay”, which is different from the English pronunciation of “fain”, right? I ended up making a song with lots of the “fain” version in the lyrics (laugh). Other than that, I thought the “bits” in Ra*bits referred to, say, 1bit, so I thought that maybe their songs have lots of pinging sounds like those in a game. Turns out I was completely wrong for both (laugh). On the contrary, Trickstar, UNDEAD, and Ryuseitai were easy to figure out and I remember that it was a smooth process.
Q: Among the songs that you presented, were there any that actually got released as unit songs?
K: I think it would be Knights’ Checkmate Knights and Ryuseitai’s The Unrivaled☆Meteoranger!. Although we remade those after receiving the units’ proper background setting.
Q: You have been playing the actual game. Can you tell us your first impression or what it is about the game that attracted you?
K: My true first impression would be during the pre-release, but I thought that their illustrations were nice, generally speaking. In general, the art in a female-oriented series has that touch that doesn’t sit too well with guys. But Enstars feels like anime and its head count for the character design is actually pretty close to that of a real person and without being deformed in any weird way. So it’s also easy for guys to accept. When I first saw the illustration, it gave me a gush of inspiration and I could keep churning out songs. But after the game got released and I started playing, my impression shifted to, “It’s this dark?” (laugh) If I had to choose, male-oriented series have a fundamentally happy atmosphere and not many would delve into the characters’ upbringing or pasts. Even if they do, they only do it lightly or they would only touch on some characters with a considerably rough past… just like that. But pretty much all Enstars characters have something that they’re worried about, right? That’s what makes female-oriented and male-oriented series different, and what I think makes Enstars attractive.
I think of them as idols and create.
Q: Can you tell us specifically how you make these songs?
K: All units have already had a few songs released by now, so I would start from thinking about what kind of songs a particular unit would need next, while also taking their previous songs into account. I have the image within my mind that these characters are alive. My way of thinking will also change depending on the unit and the CD’s month of release. Take Ryuseitai’s album as an example (released on 7 March 2018). It was released around the “Repayment Festival”, so it had a White Day theme. If there are songs made based on established event stories, there are also those made simply because we wanted to make this kind of songs—the origin may vary. But if I know a lyricist who fits the image of a particular song, the first thing I’ll do is to place an order with that said lyricist.
Q: How do these lyrics come about?
K: Our main lyricists are Youhei Matsui-san and Saori Kodama-san. Enstars had its 3rd anniversary and at this point, a lot of content has been fleshed out. We want someone who understands the story and won’t cause discrepancies in the lyrics, so in the end it’s difficult to ask someone who isn’t used to the series. If I do ask someone other than those two, it’s often the case that I think their usual writing style fits a particular unit.
Q: An example would be how Arika Takarano-san from ALI PROJECT worked on Valkyrie’s Bewitching Theater.
K: Exactly. I asked Takarano-san beforehand that we may cause her a lot of trouble and may ask her to retake so many times and if she was alright with that, but she still said that she was going to do it. And in actuality, it was accepted without any revision so it was really cool!
Q: I believe there would be a lot of fans out there who would listen to one song and think, “This is the feel that this unit has, huh!” and then would get surprised by the approach of another song. But it was actually just the perfect balance. How do the artists begin their work on the songs and the lyrics?
K: It goes without saying, but Matsui-san and Kodama-san play the game as well. There are times when they come up with a selection of scenes because they want to write about those parts. The lyricists rely heavily on the script, but on the other hand the composers have told me that they make progress when they are given visuals. It’s really easy to understand when you look at an illustration, "so this is going to be a song where this character sings with this kind of expression, huh.” I’ve heard that the event CGs are their most helpful reference.
Q: Rather than a 2-dimensional character, they imagine that it’s a real singing idol as they make the songs.
K: That’s what I do—I think of them as idols who really exist as I make the songs. I don’t even think of them as game characters anymore. I’d say things like, “Hey check this out, this kind of song is nice, don’t you think? What? The pitch is too high for you? Nah, I know you can do it. You can, can’t you?” (laugh)
The 3rd season’s theme is “Love”!
Q: So far, the series has released 3 seasons of CD singles and right now the album series is ongoing, with one album being released after another. Could you tell us their concepts and any fixation you had on each series? To start with, how was the first season?
K: The first season was something that we made with zero-based budgeting, so in that sense, it was probably where I participated like a music producer the most*. In the first season I was being rather pushy about my opinion on how this particular song would definitely suit this or that unit. It was also because Happy Elements was not used to music production, so if I was hesitating, they would too. I thought that it would be better to give out a clear-cut proposal, so I told myself to express my opinion properly while also offering some options.
*[T/L note] I wasn’t sure if this would make sense to the readers since I still translated it quite literally, but basically since the unit song series just started out they didn’t have much luxury to call out to other composers/lyricists like they do now, so they had to use the limited resources (and human resources) to the best they could. Please note that this is my interpretation since the whole original sentence looked pretty vague to me.
Q: I feel that the first season is filled with many songs that exude each unit’s character and public image.
K: Personally that’s my intention. That being said, to be honest we started making the songs when the game was not even out yet. We didn’t know how far we could experiment with these songs. We also didn’t know if there was going to be season 2. So, of course we wanted to make more, but if there was no second season, we decided to make songs that would make these units complete. We wanted these songs to be popular too, so we made a lot of up-tempo songs that have a good beat. But I also wanted to make some ballads, so I included Checkmate Knights for Knights and Love Letter of the Brilliance of Cherry Blossoms for Akatsuki.
Q: Now, onto the second season. Some units have songs with a different taste compared to those from the first season. Did you intend to show another side to them that you couldn’t in the first season?
K: Let’s see. Now that the fans are aware of these unit songs, we started the second season by creating songs meant to be something original and asking artists we would like to place an order with. I had the impression that my job was to materialize the unit image that Happy Elements had in mind. If they had artists whom they would like to work with, I’d go around making offers, become the middleman, and suggest to brush up some parts of a song as we record the music. That was the kind of job I did. But among that, I think I let myself loose quite a bit when making songs for Valkyrie and Switch, who joined from the second season.
Q: How about the third season?
K: After observing the audience reception until the second season and receiving fans’ responses, we made songs “that are needed” and “that it should be like this!” on top of putting the unit members into consideration. The hidden theme of the third season is “Love”. Basically, there’s “Love” on the A-side. It can be love for their fans, or for their friends—it varies. Even though the word “Love” itself is not used in the songs, they still have “Love” as their theme.
Q: This makes me want to listen to them once again to find some “Love”…! Then, what about the album series that are ongoing right now?
K: The theme for these albums are “Presents”. It’s a thanks to the fans of course, but it’s also a thanks to their supportive friends. I want to make something that everyone can enjoy, so basically there are a lot of songs with lyrics that are filled with gratitude. It also has something akin to the third season’s “Love”, but that’s what idols are! I think fans would be happier to receive love that’s almost excessive (laugh).
Q: The albums also include the idols’ solo songs.
K: To many of the voice actors in the first season, it was their first time recording a song, so we talked a lot before we began to record. There were 8 units at that time and I was talking with this kind of feeling, “I want to make something that can get each of the unit up on the Budokan stage for 8 days and on the last day I want to see everyone perform at Tokyo Dome together. So let’s make lots and lots of songs!” The voice actors were really happy about that and they sang for us. So to me it felt like it’s the long-awaited solo songs.
Q: Especially with these solo songs, I can feel that you understand a fan’s mentality and the characters really well!
K: It’s because I love everyone (laugh). I also think of them as real people while creating. I think I do as I please during the recording, like suggesting that we should change the lyrics because I don’t think he will say this kind of thing for example (laugh). I also dare to play around with the song and rip things apart. Although I would also record a few versions and present it to Happy Elements to see which they would prefer, like, “(I think this one here is better but) what do you think?” (laugh) Also, I wouldn’t change the rough outline of the songs I receive, but I often discuss with the composer to tweak the melody line or adjust the key to match with the character.
The teachers’ songs are Mr. Kuwabara’s long awaited production!
Q: Apart from songs by the students of Yumenosaki Academy, you have also released songs by the teachers and the rival unit, Eden. How did the teachers’ CD come about?
K: I had always wanted to make songs for the teachers! Even when I first introduced myself to Happy Elements, I asked them if the teachers would sing as well, and then they replied “I suppose not.” (laughed) I asked them the same thing a few times after that as well, and finally around about the 2nd anniversary of the game’s release they finally said, “We’d like to make songs for the teachers,” and I replied, “I’ve been waiting to hear those words!” (laugh) That’s how it started. I personally like Jin Sagami a lot and in the game I just keep entering the nurse’s office “by mistake” (laugh). My wish of making the teachers’ songs came true just before the third season. In Akira-san’s mind, apparently they’re idols who dance with roller skates.*
*[T/L note] A reference to an older generation idol, Hikaru Genji, who performed with roller skates in the 80s. [YouTube]
Q: It felt like we had moved back a generation or two…
K: Yes, I also stopped myself and thought that the teachers were probably around 30 years old (laugh). I chose the direction that would lean towards that age group as best as I could.
Q: The CD jacket and design labels made a big impact.
K: This is, well, a total grownups’ practical joke (laugh). Someone suggested to make it an 8cm CD, but going that far would be difficult after all.
Q: I also felt that the sound quality felt close to that of the CDs released some years ago.
K: True, we added a bit more echo than usual to get close to the era we were aiming for. But the art and craft of audio recording continues to evolve from day to day, so without dropping the sound quality down too much, we chose to focus on bringing out the intended atmosphere and made it into a 12cm CD to match with the current age. Likewise with the acoustic pressure—if we dropped it down too much, it would also not be a good thing to suddenly hear a drop like that in quality if the listeners chose to add the songs into a playlist.
Q: On the other hand, Eden’s CD also ended up with a different taste than that of Yumenosaki Academy’s units’.
K: Eden’s setting is that they’re a rival unit that stands up before Yumenosaki Academy’s representative, Trickstar, and block their way. So Eden’s song has to surpass Yumenosaki Academy’s unit songs like Trickstar, fine, and Akatsuki. We’ve always been serious about making these unit songs, so the moment I was told that, I didn’t know what to do (laugh). And then, I asked them to lift the ban on rap songs. In the end the song wasn’t a pure rap, but up until now I had been asked to avoid rap as much as I can.
Q: Is that Happy Elements’ request?
K: Yes. When we started making the unit songs, we didn’t make hip hop songs, afraid that it wouldn’t resonate with the female players… But various series have made a hit with the genre and maybe it’s now recognized, so I went to discuss about lifting the ban. I asked them like this, “When they fuse into Eden, please let me give them rap”.
Q: With a hip hop-like element included, it became a unit song that had a different orientation from Yumenosaki Academy idols.
K: Right. I think they managed to exude out a different kind of mature feel. Their CD booklet is amazing too, don’t you think? It used special paper, special printing, unusual cutting… (laugh)
Q: Was the packaging your idea too, Kuwabara-san?
K: No, it was Happy Elements’. They wanted to make it that way. Each piece’s lumber quality was just so extravagant. The third season had clear sheets as well, but Eden’s CD booklet was really a surprise (laugh).
Continued to the last half of the interview: song numbers that leave the biggest impression, 3D live concert, voice actor live concert and Enstage.

Oct 2023 issue of B'sLOG translation Special Feature: Hyper☆Summer Date Feat. Mammon, Solomon
[PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD] (reblogging/comments okay)
The brightness of the summer sun pushes us to be more open than usual.
To enjoy this fun season, the special feature will be called "Summer Date"!
Please look out for the happy summer date plan he chooses ♪
(Characters are given questions according to the place they what to go on a date with - either the beach, an amusement park, or a summer festival.)
MAMMON - DATE IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK
➀ Today is a date with your loved one at an amusement park! What matching items would you like to wear together?
I'd think of headbands of the new Devil's Coast mascot that recently debuted, Awoofa*. Puttin' that on and uploadin' to Devilgram is all over the rage, man!
② It's lunchtime at the amusement park! Which do you prefer, the restaurants or lunch boxes?
Either one of those shall do, but I'd like to buy from one of those carts over there and walk around while eatin'. Isn't that the way to have fun with them as much as we wanna?
③ Your loved one wants to go to a haunted house! Can you lead the way?
BUT OF COURSE???? Why did'cha even bother askin' that???? Huh? Huh???
④ Riding the Ferris Wheel near closing time, you'll do this to the person you love at its highest point……
Hm, I guess I'mma just say what I thought of at the time. Like where's the House of Lamentation, how small the Demon Lord's Castle is, et cetera. It's pointless expecting me to say things that Lucifer or Satan would say. I'm sure they know that too. Oh, maybe I'll ask them if they had a good time with me. That's the most curious thing I wanna know.
*unofficial translation of Garurufa/ガルルファ. No relevant info in the game has been found regarding this new mascot (as of Sep 2023). Note that this should a different mascot from 'Devilcat/デビネコ', a red teddy bear-like creature with horns on its head.
SOLOMON - DATE IN A SUMMER FESTIVAL
➀ Today is a festival date with someone you like! What kind of clothes do you want them to wear?
When in Rome, they tell me to do as the Romans do, so it's gonna be a yukata. Wearing something different from the usual can make someone excited, right? I want them to feel excited too, so I'll probably wear a yukata too.
② It's so crowded that there's a chance of getting separated! What would you do?
It's unthinkable that I'd lose sight of my cute apprentice, though I might pretend that it would be a natural excuse to hold hands with them. But since I think they might see right through me, I might honestly say that I want to hold hands with them (laughs).
③ At a target shooting range, they asked you to get "the one" for them! Do you have what it takes for shooting?
If my partner is looking forward for me to win, I'll win even if the lottery doesn't include a winning ticket. Eh, no magic is allowed? Hmm, even so I'll give it a shot!
④ Watching the fireworks near the festival's end, you'll do this to the person you love whose eyes are shining bright……
Maybe I won't be able to say anything to them because I'd be falling hard for them who is trying their best to watch the fireworks. Maybe deep inside I'd be saying "I'm glad we're able to make good memories".

[PLEASE DO NOT REPOST]
What is important in your life?
The important things, the essential stuff, the rules一
Our exclusive Q&A will reveal their important rules, which can be said to be their beliefs!
Here’s a special interview program that will help you learn more about them in depth.
SATAN
① Please tell us 3 of your own “Rules” that you think is important in your daily life.
Read books, play with cats, and make time for yourself. I would definitely want some time that will not disturb me…… Anyway, it’s not unpleasant if it’s ‘them’ that came to disturb, so I wouldn’t mind.
② Tell us something that you think is absolutely not allowed.
Dare to make disrespectful remarks about cats in front of me. I’ll **** and **** your ****.
③ Please tell us your own rules and daily routine that are necessary for an everyday “small happiness.”
It’s about gaining new knowledge. Whether it’s a chapter or a paragraph, it makes me happy to know something I didn’t know before.
④ Do you have a motivational message for those who feel unsure about living “their way”?
The answer to who you are is not something you go somewhere to look for, or someone will tell you. It’s something that can be found within yourself. However, there could a hint found within a book. The words that benefit you will catch your attention, so why don’t you take a look at the bookstore first?
SIMEON
① Please tell us 3 of your own “Rules” that you think is important in your daily life.
Sleeping and waking up early, having three proper meals a day, and light exercising… I guess. Sometimes I make a morning call to 'them’ instead of an alarm clock. I’m looking forward to hearing their voice in the morning, so I ended up waking up earlier than usual.
② Tell us something that you think is absolutely not allowed.
Hmm…… I think there’s a reason for everything, and I can’t think of one in particular… Oh, I can’t forgive someone if they hurt someone I care about. Is it a bit different from 'my own rules’?
③ Please tell us your own rules and daily routine that are necessary for an everyday “small happiness.”
I guess it would be about tasting tea. It’s my habit to delve into something.
For example, what kind of process and how many people are involved in making this quill pen? So, when I drink tea, I just want to relax…… I make a point to spend that kind of time consciously.
④ Do you have a motivational message for those who feel unsure about living “their way”?
I don’t think you need to think too hard. If you choose what you feel comfortable about, then when you look back, you’ll be your 'own way’. If you want me to listen to you, you can come to me anytime.

① ......You're asking a great question here. Hmm... If our feelings are connected, then is that a yes? Words are not that important, or rather, words and actions must be accompanied by feelings. What am I talking about? We're done with this topic now.
② If it's with them, then it won't be anything special. But... If I had to say it, I'd probably like to do it at our home's planetarium. It's my favourite spot to do it with my loved one... Well, that alone makes it feel special.
③ Well, I don't know. Doesn't that depend on the moment? I guess maybe a lot of times it's a hug, but...... Is there a right or wrong way to do these things? I'm just wondering how to make them happy.
④ The cheeks. I often do it in the morning when I wake up, or at night when I go to bed. At first I thought I did it while I’m still sleepy, but now I feel like I have to do it to feel at ease.

"Hey... kiss me, would you?"

① That's a yes, I'd think. If you are sure that the other person feels the same way...But sometimes, I think a kiss can convey feelings more eloquently than words.
② If I say that there's nothing in particular, would it be not truthful......? Because if I could have a kiss with them, that would already be the ideal situation ......Aah. But, I might quite like kissing in the skies. Could it be because I feel like I'm the only person in the world with them?
③ I tend to stare at them to see their reactions, but often they will dart their eyes away from me. I wanted them to look at me, so I kiss their eyelids, their nose, their ears... all sorts of places you can think of, but now they won't even look at me anymore.
④ As I said before, I tend to kiss here and there on their face. I might also kiss their hair a lot. Anything further is a secret.
