(Part 4) The next tenipuri team is St. Rudolph! Here's my first impression of the St. Rudolph team. Only few of them made an appearance in Gakupuri so I didn't know anything about the other remaining members (the guy with the red headband looks cool tho) That goes the same for the next several team, just a few focus characters and one background character.
Kinda sad knowing Yuta felt like he's living in his brother's shadow and was frustrated to the point he transferred school, even though his brother and his friends really cares for him. It's a good thing Gakupuri took place after he'd finally realized that there are people who sees him for who he is and he's not angry at his brother anymore.
Not surprised at the fact that Mizuki's the one who made their conflict worst and even trained Yuta to use dangerous tennis moves to win matches, but at least Fuji kicked Mizuki's ass and he became a better person. (After all of that, it's hilarious watching Mizuki trying to challenge Fuji into another match but Fuji straight up ignores him or just says "who are u?" LMAO) I didn't know ANY OF THAT when i first watched Mizuki's route in Gakupuri and was surprised by how much of a villain he was in the anime. Fuji and Mizuki didn't even show much hostility towards each other in that game. Other than that, he's a pretty hilarious character who appears elegant and is very cunning but really cares for his teammates (and he kinda reminds me of Azul from Twisted Wonderland, especially the way he speaks)
(Speaking of the way he speaks, you guys should hear him talk in yamagata dialect, it's pretty adorable >v<)
Calls & texts from boys I fed chocolate to 🍫 including both Fujis, Tezuka, and Mizuki.
Yuta‘s call:
Is it okay right now?
It‘ll be embarrassing if someone sees me, but I just want to talk for a bit.
So about valentine’s day…
Ah no, you don’t have to get me anything!
Uh? You‘re getting me something?
No, no, I‘m glad, just surprised!
Uh… I forgot what I called about
(disconnecting noise)
Yuta's texts:
What should I do
It's been a whole night and I still can't remember
Whenever I try to remember, I think about what you said about getting me something for valentine's
I'll let you know when I remember
Syusuke‘s call:
Can I talk to you for a bit?
Though we can‘t talk for long because it‘ll soon be lights-out.
Were you about to go to bed?
Oh, you were going to stay up a little longer?
It‘s already late though, don‘t stay up too long.
Haha, I guess I shouldn’t be the one to say that since I called you at this hour.
Say, is there anything you want right now?
Hm, it must be difficult to come up with something all of a sudden.
Just let me know next time.
Syusuke's texts:
Good morning
Thank you for thinking of something.
You must have been up pretty late to send me a reply at that time.
I'm glad you thought of something for me, but...
Please don't overdo it
Mizuki‘s call:
Good evening.
Is now a good time?
You just had dinner?
For the sake of your health, you should be taking your meal about an hour earlier…
Oh well, it‘s fine. This is not why I called, after all.
How have you been doing?
It‘s easy to catch a cold during the cold season of you‘re not careful.
What are you so blatantly avoiding my question for?
Don't tell me you've already fallen sick?
Good grief.
You must be more careful.
Mizuki's texts:
I certainly did not expect you to dodge my question like that
It's not that I'm angry about it
I was just worried...
Well, it's nothing. Never mind.
Tezuka‘s call:
Good morning.
Did I wake you up?
I see. Sorry about calling so early in the morning.
Can you hear my voice clearly?
No problem then, that‘s good.
The point of my call is—
Sorry. I was just called over.
I will text you later about the matter.
I‘d appreciate it if you could reply when you have time.
Tezuka's texts:
Sorry about earlier.
About the matter in question, is there anything you‘d like?
If possible, let me know which colour you like as well.
Ah
Actually, just let me know what you like.
Part 2 will be gift reactions (2/14) and then whatever happens on White Day (3/14)!
Disclaimer: This is an actual translation, I did not make anything up. Parts spoken in Yuta's voice are italized. I kept every instance of "aniki" as "aniki" even where it would have made more sense to translate it differently in order make a point. Please enjoy!
Thank you very much for buying Fuji Yuta's song on cd. This is Fuji Yuta's voice actor, Tomita Makoto.
When recording for Yuta, the phrase "aniki" comes up quite a lot. Sometimes "aniki" comes up 4 or 5 times when Yuta is speaking or thinking to himself, I really say it a lot, and it's not like it's difficult or anything, but I often find myself having to put a lot of emotion into that one word "aniki".
For example, when watching a scene where "aniki" is fighting and under pressure, it will be like "aniki". Or, for example, when "aniki" wins and Yuta's thinks, "wow, 'aniki' really is strong", the "aniki" will sound more like "aniki...".
Haha, although the nuance is subtle, there are a lot of scenes where I have to express emotions through that one phrase "aniki".
Although I believe that the people who bought this cd are fans of Fuji Yuta, maybe there are some people among you who think "I really like 'aniki' more, but I'll buy the little brother too", haha. Well, that's alright! But Yuta would probably say "everyone's always about 'aniki 'aniki'", haha. I'm happy that you bought it though!
I really hope that when you hear my voice as Yuta, it fits your mental image of the character and what he would sound like. So how do you think? If you think "that's wrong" or "not at all" or "Yuta is supposed to sound cooler than that", please hide that feeling from me and keep supporting us, haha.
This was Fuji Yuta's voice actor, Tomita Makoto. Bye!
