Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3
Riku Nanase: Natsume-san, happy birthday! My first impression of you was that you were level-headed and reliable, but you'd also show this mischievous side every now and then, and somehow, you were just someone I couldn't take my eyes off.
Riku Nanase: But as we've worked together on shows and all kinds of other projects, I've come to see just how incredibly kind you are and how much you pay attention to the people around you. You're a really wonderful person.
Riku Nanase: Just the other day, you even remembered my favorite snacks and brought some for me! I was so surprised!
Riku Nanase: I hope someone as kind as you has a truly happy year ahead!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Minami-kun, I know I already wished you on Rabbit Chat, but let me say it again! Happy birthday!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: You always share your thoughts on the shows and radio programs I appear on, and honestly it makes me so happy every time. I'd love to use this occasion to thank you as well as celebrate you, if that's alright.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: But thinking about it, I realized I actually don't know all that much about what you like, your hobbies or the places you frequent…
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: So could you tell me more about yourself? I'd love to take you somewhere you've been wanting to go and celebrate you properly!
Touma Inumaru: Happy birthday to Mina! Thanks for always making the greatest music for us.
Touma Inumaru: Mina, the music you create always fires me up. It makes me stronger. That's just the sort of one-of-a-kind power your music has.
Touma Inumaru: Even when work gets me down, the moment I listen to our songs, all that negativity just kind of melts away and I feel a surge of energy come rushing back.
Touma Inumaru: So... you might think this is a bit cringey, but I'm gonna say it anyway. Mina, stay by our side as our friend forever and ever! I love you!

Minami Natsume: Next is today's main event, the "Let's Make the Birthday Idol's Image Drink" segment.
Clap, clap, clap......!
Minami Natsume: In this segment, I'll ask our guests what image they have of me, and then create a drink inspired by those impressions.
Minami Natsume: To begin...… Inumaru-san, you've spent more time with me than anyone else here today and probably know me best as well, so would you go first?
Touma Inumaru: Got it! I've already thought hard about this.
Touma Inumaru: Mina is...... "cute!"
Minami Natsume: "Cute," you say...... What exactly about me gives you that impression?
Touma Inumaru: Like, for example, how happy you get when the karaage pieces in your set meal are really big!
Touma Inumaru: When the pieces on my plate are bigger, I swap with you. And man, you get ridiculously happy when I do.
Riku Nanase & Ryunosuke Tsunashi: So cute!!
Minami Natsume: Fufu, thank you as always. You really are exceptionally good at spoiling me, Inumaru-san.
Minami Natsume: Then, next...... Tsunashi-san, please go ahead.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I had so many things come to mind and it was hard to narrow it down, but my image of Minami-kun is that he's "someone with a captivating, sweet singing voice."
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: ŹOOĻ's music tends to have a cool, edgy sound overall, but Minami-kun's sweet voice complements that really well, doesn't it?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I always find myself thinking how wonderful it is.
Touma Inumaru: I love Mina's singing voice so much too.......! It really sticks with you, and there's something so alluring about it — it's great!
Riku Nanase: I love it too! I think Natsume-san's voice has a way of making people's hearts skip a beat.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I totally get that; it definitely does! It's sexy, sweet and captivating!
Minami Natsume: Th-thank you so much...... I'm truly honored to receive such praise.
Minami Natsume: And finally, Nanase-san, please go ahead.
Riku Nanase: My image of Natsume-san is that he has "a gentle presence!"
Riku Nanase: He always has this kind, gentle warmth that just sort of envelops everyone around him, and I feel at ease whenever I'm near him.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: His calm way of speaking plays into that too, I'm sure.
Riku Nanase: Yes. Also, whenever we greet each other in the green room, he always gives me snacks and stuff.
Minami Natsume: And that's what makes you think of me as kind. You really are such a pure soul, Nanase-san.
Minami Natsume: Well then, now that I have all three impressions — "cute," "sweet singing voice," and "gentle" — I'll go ahead and make a mocktail based on them.
Minami Natsume: Everyone, please sit back and make yourselves comfortable while you wait.
Minami Natsume: Sorry to keep you waiting. I've prepared an Apple Vanilla Milk Mocktail.
Clink.
Riku Nanase: Wooaahh! That looks delicious! Even the gentle feel of the mocktail matches you perfectly, Natsume-san!
Minami Natsume: I chose the ingredients based on each of your impressions of me, so I suppose my selections weren't off the mark.
Minami Natsume: From Inumaru-san's "cute," I chose apple. From Tsunashi-san's "sweet singing voice," I chose vanilla syrup. And from Nanase-san's "gentle," I chose milk.
Minami Natsume: Everyone, please go ahead and give it a taste.
Riku Nanase, Ryunosuke Tsunashi & Touma Inumaru: Thanks for the treat!
Touma Inumaru: Mm, the apple adds a nice touch!
Riku Nanase: It feels like it's warming my heart......! I really love this mocktail!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yeah, it's sweet and delicious! The vanilla and the milk go together perfectly.
Minami Natsume: I'm glad it's to your liking.
Minami Natsume: If anyone is curious what it tastes like, please do give this mocktail a try.
Minami Natsume: Now then, everyone, it seems we’re nearing the end.
Minami Natsume: It went by in the blink of an eye, but today was truly a wonderful time. Thank you very much once again.
Minami Natsume: Being able to celebrate like this is all thanks to the fans who continue to support us each and every day.
Minami Natsume: Going forward, in order for ŹOOĻ to continue captivating all of you, I will keep creating music that lives up to that standard. So I do hope you’re prepared, everyone.
Minami Natsume: And lastly...... I've been told that the three of you have prepared heartfelt messages for me.
Riku Nanase: Yes! We filmed birthday messages for you, Natsume-san!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: We tried putting our honest feelings into words, so I really hope it makes you happy.
Touma Inumaru: We filmed it with enough passion to totally captivate you, so brace yourself, Mina!
Minami Natsume: Oh my...... for the three of you to go that far.
Minami Natsume: Fufu, I'm looking forward to it.
Minami Natsume: Well then, until we meet again. Everyone, all together now......

Minami Natsume: Welcome to "cafe rabBit Day" everyone. Your MC for today is me, Minami Natsume from ŹOOĻ.
Minami Natsume: "cafe rabBit Day" is a program where the birthday celebrant serves as MC, answers the guests' questions and prepares drinks tailored to their orders.
Minami Natsume: Now then, let us begin by having our guests introduce themselves.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: I'm Ryunosuke Tsunashi from TRIGGER. Happy birthday, Minami-kun. I hope we can celebrate you lots today.
Touma Inumaru: I'm Touma Inumaru from ŹOOĻ. Mina, happy birthday! I'm gonna make sure we have a blast today!
Minami Natsume: Thank you all so much. I hope you'll enjoy yourselves.
Riku Nanase: We were already having a blast back in the green room, weren't we!
Minami Natsume: Indeed. Thanks to everyone being so kind and bringing all sorts of sweets and gifts to celebrate.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It felt like a little party! It was fun.
Minami Natsume: Yes, everything was so delicious that I ended up having quite a lot. Since you've all treated me so well before the recording even started, I'll make sure to return the favor from here on.
Touma Inumaru: Make sure you enjoy yourself too though, Mina! Oh, and that costume looks really good on you.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yeah. The waiter uniform is cool, while the bunny ears are cute. Both suit you really well.
Minami Natsume: I'm surprisingly ferocious, you see. If you let your guard down, I just might bite.
Riku Nanase: That's one hardcore bunny!
Minami Natsume: Well, now that I've been showered with compliments, let's jump right into our first segment: “Heart-Fluttering Personality Test – ~Let's Get to Know His True Self~”
Minami Natsume: In this segment, I will be answering a personality test question chosen by our guests and deliver a killer line at the end based on the results.
Touma Inumaru: Mina's an expert at fortune-telling, so I'm curious how he'll approach a personality test~!
Riku Nanase: Wait, can you predict your own answers in advance!?
Minami Natsume: Fufu, not quite. They may seem similar, but they're fundamentally different things. Even I can't foresee the results.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Alright then, I'll go ahead and read the question.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: "You are standing at the shore of a lake, gazing up at the night sky. Which of the following left the deepest impression on you?"
Ryunosuke Tsunashi:
A) A large full moon with a golden glow.
B) Clouds drifting along in the wind.
C) A shooting star flashing by for a brief moment.
Minami Natsume: I see...... They're all such beautiful, poetic scenes.
Riku Nanase: We all chose this question because we thought it suited you perfectly, Natsume-san.
Minami Natsume: Oh my, I'm honored. Thank you very much.
Minami Natsume: All of them sound lovely, but if I had to choose, I suppose I'd go with A.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: So the golden full moon. Would you mind sharing why?
Minami Natsume: The drifting clouds and the shooting star are both beautiful, but I think I'd prefer the moon. Something that stays by your side and continues to shine on you.
Riku Nanase: In that case, allow me to announce the result.
Riku Nanase: This personality test reveals "what you find yourself looking for from others when you're feeling low."
Riku Nanase: If you chose A...... "You wish the people around you would stay by your side when you're feeling low."
Touma Inumaru: Yeah, that tracks. Mina does get lonely pretty easily.
Minami Natsume: My, have I really shown you such an adorable side of myself before?
Touma Inumaru: Remember that time I got the day mixed up when we had plans to eat together, and texted you about it a day early by mistake? [1]
Touma Inumaru: And then we ended up going out both days, so I figured you just really like eating with other people.
Minami Natsume: Ah, so that's what led you to read me as someone who gets lonely easily. I see, Inumaru-san.
Touma Inumaru: Wait, am I wrong!?
Minami Natsume: Well... who can say?
Minami Natsume: Whether or not I get lonely easily aside, the results might not be entirely inaccurate.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: When you're having a hard time, you just don't want to be alone, right?
Minami Natsume: But once you start wishing for someone to stay by your side, if things don't turn out the way you hoped, the reality of that can be pretty painful, wouldn't you agree?
Minami Natsume: When I think about it that way...... I feel perhaps it's easier in the end to simply expect nothing and be alone from the start.
Touma Inumaru: I'd never let you be alone, Mina.
Minami Natsume: Inumaru-san......
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That's right! And you've got us too.
Riku Nanase: Yes. Please, rely on us whenever you need to!
Minami Natsume: Fufu...... Thank you, everyone.
Minami Natsume: You're right. If I were to feel low now...... I think I might find myself wanting someone to be by my side.
Touma Inumaru: Of course! And when that happens, I'll come running no matter where you are, okay?
Minami Natsume: Yes, thank you very much. And not to mention I have the fans by my side as well now.
Touma Inumaru: That's right! Everyone's here for you!
Touma Inumaru: Alright then — to wrap things up, in line with the results of the personality test, let’s hear your killer line for “when you’re feeling down and want someone by your side,” now!
Minami Natsume: Understood. Then......
Minami Natsume: There are moments when you suddenly find yourself longing for another person's warmth, aren't there? On nights like that, I want you to warm me with your words. ...... Keep desiring only me, forever.
