(IDOLiSH7) Torao Mido - BUDDY NIGHT NARRATIVE Rabbit Chat
Please note that I am not a professional translator. If you come across any mistakes, feel free to let me know and I will make the necessary corrections.
Haruka Isumi: I won at Word Chain again ✌️ [1]
Torao Mido: Why'd you go out of your way to announce that on Rabbit Chat
Haruka Isumi: Figured I should leave a record of my win here in the interview too lmaooo
Torao Mido: Making the theme "things found at an arcade" was way too advantageous for you
Torao Mido: You kept throwing out the names of mascots I'd never even heard of...
Haruka Isumi: Then you can pick the next theme, Torao!
Torao Mido: Is that so
Torao Mido: Something like "wine-producing regions" then
Haruka Isumi: You don't have to try so hard to find something around your house lmaoo. Besides, I don't think I'd be able to come up with even one thing for that
Haruka Isumi: How about horror game titles instead?
Torao Mido: Oh wow, would you look at the time. Should we get this interview started?
Haruka Isumi: Yeah, if we don't, we're probably gonna spend the whole time just chatting LOL 😆
Haruka Isumi: So! This time, we have the "Buddy Rabbit Chat Interview Project: Torajima Edition," released alongside the omnibus drama series BUDDY NIGHT NARRATIVE, featuring the sixteen idols!
Haruka Isumi: Today we're gonna talk about Leo Torajima, the stoic bodyguard who serves the super-capable and cool heir detective, Haruhiko
Torao Mido: You sure gave Haruhiko a lot of descriptors
Haruka Isumi:
Haruka Isumi: First question! What was it like playing Torajima?
Torao Mido: I felt he had a different kind of heroic quality from Haruhiko.
Torao Mido: Like how unwaveringly loyal he is to the person he respects. I tried to portray him in a way that wouldn't make his feelings toward Haruhiko seem shallow
Haruka Isumi: He does feel completely different from the provocative Torao we see during performances
Torao Mido: I've never lived a life serving someone else after all
Torao Mido: But having someone by your side that you'd protect even at the cost of putting yourself in danger, like Torajima does, is a blessing
Torao Mido: I know exactly what that's like
Haruka Isumi: You do?
Torao Mido: Because I've gained something that precious to me now
Torao Mido: Don't you feel the same, Haruka?
Haruka Isumi: Huh— Wait, are you talking about us?
Torao Mido: Don't look at me
Haruka Isumi: You're the one who needs to quit getting embarrassed
Haruka Isumi: It's rubbing off on me!
Torao Mido: I'm not embarrassed
Torao Mido: Anyway, Torajima's character concept was fantastic. A bodyguard is the kind of prestigious role Hollywood's biggest action stars get to play
Torao Mido: As a man, it genuinely fired me up
Haruka Isumi: You were so hyped when they first told us about it at the agency
Haruka Isumi: You looked so happy when you went, "Guess it's time to watch some bodyguard action movies"
Torao Mido: You watched them with me too. I didn't expect you'd stick around for all five of them
Haruka Isumi: They were all super interesting!
Haruka Isumi: They made me look forward to your action scenes even more, and they seriously lived up to it when I actually saw them
Haruka Isumi: It was just like when you pull off some flashy acrobatics during a live show and the whole venue goes wild, I was yelling "Kick some ass!" in my head
Torao Mido: If I managed to get you that fired up, then I'd say that's a job well done
Haruka Isumi:
Torao Mido:
Haruka Isumi: Next question! Got any behind-the-scenes stories from filming?
Torao Mido: Toward the end of filming, I almost called you "Young Master Haru" in the green room more than once
Haruka Isumi: You kept almost saying "Young Mas…" and catching yourself, didn't you lmaooo
Torao Mido: Touma and Minami couldn't quite make out what I was saying and just looked completely confused
Haruka Isumi: I thought it was hilarious lmaoooo
Torao Mido: I'd been carrying the script around with me all through filming, so it just sort of stuck with me
Haruka Isumi: Yeah I get it, I was glued to my script the whole time too
Torao Mido: We were co-leads, after all
Haruka Isumi: Alright then, lastly, leave a message for all the fans who've been enjoying the drama!
Torao Mido: Now that the series has reached its fourth installment, we were able to bring you a buddy drama with a completely different flavor from the ones before it
Torao Mido: I think you'll really enjoy the action scenes Haruka and I challenged ourselves with, as well as the heartfelt human drama
Torao Mido: If you're planning to watch it from here on out, look forward to it
Haruka Isumi: Thanks, Torao!
Haruka Isumi: It was actually really fun getting to talk about the drama again 😆
Torao Mido: Same here. I look forward to the day we can meet Young Master Haru and Torajima again
(IDOLiSH7) Gaku Yaotome - Buddy Night Narrative Rabbit Chat
I am not a professional translator. if you notice any mistakes, please feel free to let me know.
Yamato: Heyo. It’s IDOLiSH7’s Nikaido Yamato.
Yamato: Today we’re bringing you the “Buddy RabbitChat Interview Project: Saotome Edition,” released in conjunction with the omnibus drama series “BUDDY NIGHT NARRATIVE” featuring 16 idols!
Yamato: Naturally, the two leads will ask each other questions about how they prepared for their roles as well as reveal behind-the-scenes stories- the first installment being “BEAST COP!”
Yamato: Earlier we talked about the Yamato chapter, but right now we’re taking a coffee break and eating pizza 🍕
Gaku: You don’t have to narrate that too, do you? lol
Yamato: No, but there are fans who look forward to even this kind of trivial information, you know.
Yamato: For example, when you eat- you take surprisingly large bites.
Gaku: That’s surprising?
Yamato: Until I got to know you better, I thought you were the type to elegantly eat French food.
Yamato: Even when you drink, you order bitter side dishes, and at first it felt like there was a gap.
Gaku: Come to think of it, Nikaido, after we first met, you were pretty surprised when I took you to my regular izakaya, weren’t you?*
Yamato: Yeah, that’s right. I never dreamed I’d end up drinking sake from a small cup with Yaotome Gaku, eating raw sea squirt as a side.**
Gaku: It was good, right? After all, you liked it, didn’t you?
Yamato: Yes, I liked it. I’m totally fine being an old fart. 🤚
Yamato: Wait, we haven’t done introductions yet, have we?
Gaku: No, we haven’t. I’m Gaku Yaotome, playing the role of Mami Saotome. I performed the part of a serious, stubborn, and warm-blooded detective.
Yamato: And I’m Yamato Nikaido, playing the role of Izuna Yamato. I acted as a mysterious rogue detective.
Yamato: So let’s get right to it- Saotome-san, how did you feel about playing a role that was both earnest and yet off the rails at times?
Gaku: Isn’t that the name of my character?
Yamato: That’s right lmao. I just remebered- I also slipped up during the actual performance.
Gaku: Well, it is confusing. When you try to say “Yaotome” and “Saotome” they sound pretty much the same.
Yamato: Sorry for ruining the take.
Gaku: Nah, don’t be. I didn’t notice either, so I just kept acting like nothing happened. After all, it didn’t feel too out of place.
Yamato: Really? Then how about I call you “Yaotome-chan” from now on?
Gaku: I don’t particularly care. Then shall I call you “Yamato”?
Yamato: That’s a bit off topic, so please refrain 🤚
Yamato: Back to what I was saying, your role was kinda similar to you in personality, huh. Once you get stuck on something, you lose sight of everything else and press on, despite what others say.
Gaku: Well, now that you mention it, there were lots of instances where it was pretty close. I just can’t be satisfied until I convey my thoughts clearly.
Gaku: That’s why I thought Izuna and I would make a really good team.
Gaku: It’s like we each possess what the other lacks. Watching those two grow to trust each other as buddies is one of the highlights of this drama, isn’t it?
Yamato: If everyone watches the drama all the way to the end, I think they’ll be moved by the same scene I was. Okay, next up, tell us some behind-the-scenes stories from this shoot!
Gaku: Alright.
Gaku: Though, I wonder if I’m allowed to share it.
Yamato: Eh, what? Is it something embarrassing?
Gaku: It’s not, but, I was wondering what you’d think.
Yamato: Spit it out, I wanna know.
Gaku: Earlier we talked about how we went out for drinks, but actually I’ve been deliberately avoiding inviting you out for a while after filming started.
Gaku: I wanted to make sure we really captured the slightly tense atmosphere during the early part of the drama.
Yamato: Ah- I see. I kinda figured that was the case.
Yamato: I thought of inviting you too as a way to kick things off, but that didn’t really feel in line with this project, y’know?
Gaku: Right. Filming the scene where Saotome and Yamato truly became buddies didn’t happen until later in the schedule.
Gaku: And since you’re the type that really gets into character, even off-set, I was trying to make sure I didn’t come across as my usual self either.
Yamato: I suppose I’ll humbly accept your consideration.
Gaku: I’ll do the same.
Gaku: Some how I feel like we’ve gotten to know each other better through this shoot 👍
Yamato: I know, right? 👍
Yamato: Lastly, please share a message for the fans reading this interview.
Gaku: Thanks to everyone who watched “BEAST COP!” I was super excited when I was offered a lead role in the first installment of the series, and I had a lot of fun playing the part. I’m confident that this will be a work everyone will love.
Gaku: Nikaido and I really gave it our all, putting our bodies on the line for the chase scenes, car stunts, and acrobatic shots. Please enjoy watching it as many times as you like.
Gaku: And finally, thank you to Nikaido for being my buddy.
Yamato: Ah, yeah.
Yamato: Thanks.
Gaku: Why’d you avert your eyes?
Yamato: You were staring at me too long. You’ll burn a hole in my face.
Gaku: What the heck lol
* An izakaya is a japanese pub
**https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascidiacea I’ve never heard a raw sea squirt before and i think the name sounds weird so there you go

No thanks, I’d rather stay inside.

Yaotome Gaku
Osaka, you sound incredibly stiff here, you know.
Yotsuba Tamaki
So-chan's next to me and he just started groaning while looking at his phone, Gakkun.
Osaka Sogo
Ahhhhh, could you not write to him that I'm groaning? I apologize if I have caused you any discomfort, Yaotome-san.
Yaotome Gaku
Nah, nothing of the sort (lol) Izumi-ani looks really talented at cooking.
Nikaido Yamato
Just looking at Mitsu cooking is making me hungry.
Rokuya Nagi
I await Mitsuki's flambé, stark naked.
Izumi Mitsuki
Don't say that! As an idol, you shouldn't “wait naked” for anything lololol

6.14.1. - With everything we have
Audience A: Ah… Something appeared on the screen…
Audience B: Last minute interview footage…?
Audience A: …What’s an idol…？
Audience B: …What is music…？
Audience A: …What is the greatest live…？
Audience B: …Ah, Touma is on the screen…！
--
Inumaru Touma: The greatest live...
Inumaru Touma: For me, the greatest live is the moment when I can make everyone the happiest.
Inumaru Touma: Everyone's feelings become one, no one gets left behind, and there’s just one great moment after the other.
Inumaru Touma: At first, the audience is well-mannered and just watches, but they gradually get into it…
Inumaru Touma: That feeling of them leaning forward and joining in the fight... It's like everyone is standing up and roaring.
Inumaru Touma: I love that moment when it feels like it's us, not just customers.
Inumaru Touma: I want to create a space like that... I think I can create it.
Inumaru Touma: Let's create the greatest live.
Audience: Kyaaaaah...!!
-
Isumi Haruka: Uhm, what is an idol. An idol is…
Isumi Haruka: Coming from someone like me, what I say might not be very persuasive… But I think it's pretty accurate.
Isumi Haruka: It's someone who wants to be loved.
Isumi Haruka: Someone who wants to be pampered a lot. Someone who wants to be praised a lot.
Isumi Haruka: Like, “Ahaha, I love myself”. Without that, I don't think I'd want to be on stage.
Isumi Haruka: But while I'm doing it, I start to think, "Oh, I'm not good at this," or "I messed up," or "I wonder if I can do it well.”
Isumi Haruka: So many things I hate about myself and the things I'm anxious about come out, it's like I can't take it anymore, I want to pull away…
Isumi Haruka: But when the fans call out my name, I can really step forward. I'm sure it’ll be the same this time.
Isumi Haruka: I mean, we're first, right? Normally, I'd say we can't do it… That's why…
Isumi Haruka: Call for ŹOOḼ, call for Isumi Haruka. I’m counting on you.
Audience: Kyaaaaah...!!
-
Natsume Minami: What is music…
Natsume Minami: That's right. Music can become anything.
Natsume Minami: It can be a weapon, it can be armor. It can be a blanket, it can be fashion, it can be a blood oath.
Natsume Minami: With that in mind, if I were to speak only about ŹOOḼ and ŹOOḼ's fans…
Natsume Minami: I think it's like chains.
Natsume Minami: There’s the chains that bind us, and the chains that we seek to destroy.
Natsume Minami: Feelings and pain that could not be put into words are connected through music…
Natsume Minami: It is as if blood flows through the community known as ŹOOḼ. That's right, it may be like blood vessels.
Natsume Minami: Let the blood flow, cut the chains we want to break, and connect with each other through new bonds.
Natsume Minami: Fufu… These may be chains that are a little exciting, a bit dangerous, but…
Natsume Minami: Please, let yourself be caught up in them.
Audience: Kyaaaaah...!!

Midou Torao: What an idol is?
Midou Torao: An idol is… That's right… This might be a no-go thing to say.
Midou Torao: But at first, I thought it was shady.
Midou Torao: You get pampered, but they treat you like a toy, and you laugh it off…
Midou Torao: I was thinking, that's supposed to be fun?
Midou Torao: …Then, “Ah, this is a bad idea”… “It’s a bad idea, right?”, “Huh? We're gonna keep going like this…?”
Midou Torao: …That's right… Well, those were my first impressions anyway. Probably because I was like that at the time.
Midou Torao: Yeah… I thought it’d be nice if it was just for decoration.
Midou Torao: But after meeting a lot of different people, I realized I was wrong.
Midou Torao: Chasing their dreams even when they fail… Going out alone to places where there are only enemies… It's not shady at all.
Midou Torao: These guys… I thought these people were heroes.
Midou Torao: I want to be like that too. I'll do my best.
Audience: Kyaaaaah...!!
--
Inumaru Touma: Listen, you guys! We've come this far, so believe in yourselves!
Inumaru Touma: At first, we were kind of an odd mix! But aren't we the real deal right now!?
Midou Torao: Of course. There's no other place I’d rather be.
Midou Torao: You guys are the best!
Inumaru Touma: I told you, didn't I! Don't forget!
Natsume Minami: That's my line, Inumaru-san.
I won't let anyone, including you and everyone here in the venue, get distracted from us.
Natsume Minami: We are the one and only.
Isumi Haruka: That's right! Let's destroy everything! Let's show them all we got!
Isumi Haruka: Ryou-san and Utsugi-san… Let's take the people who have become our fans with us!
Isumi Haruka: To a view even better than the one at RedFes! Tonight! Here! Right now!
Midou Torao: Alright!
Natsume Minami: Let's go!
Inumaru Touma: Let's go!
ŹOOḼ: Yeah…!!
Audience: The lights came on…
Audience: ŹOOḼ are over there…！
Audience: Kyaaah…！
Passerby A: ŹOOḼ's live has begun! The first song is "Poisonous Gangster"!
Passerby B: The set is amazing…!! It's so ŹOOḼ! Cool…!
Passerby A: I happened to be there during the debut event! The place where ŹOOḼ began…!
Passerby B: I hope ŹOOḼ wins…!
Passerby C: The big monitor over there is broadcasting ŹOOḼ's live!
Passerby D: It's true…！The atmosphere is insane...! I wish I could have gone to the venue…!
Passerby C: Everyone looks so cool! Do your best, ŹOOḼ…！
Oda Hiroto: …
Oda Hiroto: Touma…
Natsume Minami: (It was with this song that I started working on together with Sakura-san, that I met ŹOOḼ…)
Natsume Minami: (At first, it was a song sung by just two of us as the main vocals.)
Natsume Minami: (But before I knew it, I was singing as well, raising my voice and screaming with ecstasy.)
Natsume Minami: (I tried to remain a spectator, but I got more and more involved as myself…)
Natsume Minami: (Once destiny has started, it cannot be stopped. )
Natsume Minami: (Sakura-san, I’m enjoying myself a lot right now. Aren't you envious?)
Natsume Minami: (The allies and friends you lost, I have them all.)
Natsume Minami: Come on, please…
Natsume Minami: Desire me more.
Audience: Kyaaah…！
Audience A: PoiGang is the best! I knew they were definitely gonna sing it…!
Audience B: All four of them look super cool! (crying) ...I love ŹOOḼ…
Audience A: Ah… the second song…!
Audience B: It's “ZONE OF OVERLAP”…!!
Audience: Kyaaaah…！
Audience: The best, the best…!!
Audience: Kyaaaah…！
Midou Torao: (RedFes… I remember the fear of that stage.)
Midou Torao: (I wanted to run away. I wanted to pretend like it wasn't serious and make it a laughing matter.)
Midou Torao: (But I met others who were just as scared, yet didn't try to run away.)
Midou Torao: (So I put down my feet and moved forward with my heart and soul and I was able to change, so that I could protect them without running away, .)
Midou Torao: (I overcame something that seemed like it could never be overcome.)
Midou Torao: (May I have the same pride tonight as I did then.)
Midou Torao: (Whatever it is, I'll do it!)
Midou Torao: Don't look away!
Midou Torao: We'll make you crazy about us to the point of breaking!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Audience A: From "ZONE OF OVERLAP", they started singing as a group of four!
Audience B: Yeah…!
Audience A: I wasn't able to go see RedFes, but I feel like the atmosphere at ŹOOḼ has changed since then…!
Audience A: They're no longer awkward around each other and they often look at each other with smiles on their faces, it makes me happy…
Audience A: I always was and still am so lucky to be a ŹOOḼ oshi…!
Audience B: Ah... the third song is coming!!
Audience B: It's “Bang!Bang!Bang!”...!!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Isumi Haruka: Come on, come on! That's not all you got, is it?
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Isumi Haruka: Shout…！
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…!!
Isumi Haruka: (Hey, are you watching? Ryou-san.)
Isumi Haruka: (Are you watching? Kujou.)
Isumi Haruka: (Aren't I amazing?)
Isumi Haruka: (Aren’t we the best?)
Isumi Haruka: (Fufu… You thought I was a waste, so you let go of me.)
Isumi Haruka: (But it's too late to regret it now. I'm no longer controlled by anyone.)
Isumi Haruka: (The only path we walk is our own.)
Isumi Haruka: (Just watch from there. I'll take you with me. I'll show you, as well.)
Isumi Haruka: (We will carve out our future.)
Isumi Haruka: We can still keep going…!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Audience A: …ŹOOḼ is amazing! (crying) …I love ŹOOḼ…
Audience B: If you cry, you won't be able to see it properly! It'd be such a shame! It's so amazing…
Audience B: Since it's people around the same age as us putting on such a cool, powerful performance…!
Audience A: Yes, yes… (crying).
Audience: Ah, the lights went out…
Audience: What!？A costume change…?!
Audience: …！This intro…!
Audience: It's the new song…！
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…!
Isumi Haruka: …
Natsume Minami: …
Midou Torao: …
Inumaru Touma: Last one!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…!
Inumaru Touma: “Utopia”!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…!
Inumaru Touma: (I thought I'd never stand on stage again.)
Inumaru Touma: (I thought I’d never sing seriously again.)
Inumaru Touma: (The only way I could protect myself was to hate someone, to laugh at someone.)
Inumaru Touma: (However, as I met important friends and spent irreplaceable time with them…)
Inumaru Touma: (I met people who care about me more than I care about myself.)
Inumaru Touma: (I want to make them happy, those people who always support us.)
Inumaru Touma: (Beyond the dazzling lights, I can see their smiles. They're calling our names. For their smiles, I want to create a miracle.)
Inumaru Touma: (I want to promise them eternity.)
Inumaru Touma: (We won't betray you. We know better than anyone that things like that are crap…)
Inumaru Touma: (I want to promise you that I will never betray you.)
Inumaru Touma: (That I'm never leaving the stage again.)
Inumaru Touma: Let's go together! Follow us to the very end…!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Oda Hiroto: …Touma…
Oda Hiroto: …Do your best, Touma! Don't lose…!
Oda Hiroto: Destroy the others and make it so that you…. that ŹOOḼ become the best…!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Inumaru Touma: This is the best…！
Isumi Haruka: Aah, we're done already…!
Audience: Kyaaaaaah…！
Natsume Minami:: Thank you very much！
Midou Torao: Thanks! I sang with all my power！

Utsugi Shirou: …
Utsugi Shirou: Asking that first thing after coming off such a big stage…
Natsume Minami: We are asking that! After all, we're quite stubborn!
Midou Torao: You're a part of ŹOOḼ too. We wanted to share the best sight with you.
Isumi Haruka: So!? How was it?!
Utsugi Shirou: …It wasn't just beyond RedFes, it was a performance like it has never been done before!
Utsugi Shirou: On such a big stage, not to mention as the opening act, with that kind of quality. With that kind excitement.
Utsugi Shirou: Only ŹOOḼ can do this. You are the best…!
Isumi Haruka: We did it! Ya~y!!
Inumaru Touma: High five, high five!
Midou Torao: Alright! Yay!
Natsume Minami: Ahaha! Ya~y!
Utsugi Shirou: Yay! Thank you for your hard work!

Audience B: I was so moved.... (crying) I got to see it live.... I'm so glad I was able to come to the venue!!
Audience A: It's true…!! I will tell this story for the rest of my life...!!
Audience B: Ah… There's a break until the stage set is changed. I think I'll head to the washroom.
Audience A: There'll be a message video too, so come back soon!
Audience B: I know!
(bump)
Audience B: Ah… I'm sorry.
Ousaka Soushi: No, I have to apologize.
Ousaka Soushi: …
Ousaka Soushi: It looks like the seats are around there.
Sougo's mother: Yes…
Ousaka Soushi: Let's go.

Audience D: Yeah…! I'm really excited…!
Audience C: Ah...! Something is being shown on the screen again!
Audience D: This is the last-minute interview footage…!
Audience C: Kyaaaah...! Iori-kun...!!
Izumi Iori: The greatest live… To me, the greatest live means showing off the best IDOLiSH7.
Izumi Iori: Nanase-san, the unrivaled center.
Izumi Iori: The elegant and cute Rokuya-san who supports the hearts of IDOLiSH7.
Izumi Iori: Ousaka-san who changes his colours freely, both as a "MEZZO’’" member and as a rock musician.
Izumi Iori: The lawless Yotsuba-san who does whatever he wants, acts spoiled whenever he wants, yet for some reason we always forgive him.
Izumi Iori: Nii-san who leads the atmosphere of the live and keeps it going with his cuteness and energy.
Yaotome Sousuke: More than I could imagine at that time, TRIGGER has gotten so much bigger.
Yaotome Sousuke: There's nothing that can get in you guys’ way anymore.
Yaotome Sousuke: Run wherever you want to.
Yaotome Sousuke: Like a bullet.
Audience: Kyaaaah...!
Takara Mage: …TRIGGER…！You’re the coolest…!!
Takara Mage: …(sobs) Do your best…! Do your best…!
Kujou Tenn: (Our meeting was the worst.)
Kujou Tenn: (I only wanted the bare minimum of a relationship as business partners.)
Kujou Tenn: (And yet, I wonder when…)
Kujou Tenn: (They became people I didn't want to lose.)
Kujou Tenn: (Gaku. Ryuu. If it's with you, I can do anything.)
Kujou Tenn: (Even the setbacks and downfalls were fun when I think about them now.)
Kujou Tenn: (After all, we are diamonds.)
Kujou Tenn: (Everytime we get hurt, we become more polished.)
Kujou Tenn: (Thanks to falling into a pit, the three of us were able to walk down a path that had never been walked before.)
Kujou Tenn: (I abandoned my old life as ‘Nanase’, and I obtained TRIGGER.)

TL note courtesy of Haruka-kun:
The word Tamaki uses is 相互作用, meaning interaction. It’s pronounced “sougo sayou”, so even though the kanji for these words are very different (相互 vs. 壮五), when he says it, it’s as if he is saying Sougo’s name.

mod riku here! this is the last chapter, but we broke tumblr's post limit, so please check out part 2 of chapter 14, too, lol
I mtl-edited Sougo's "Sugao" rabbit chat! I took this on bcz there's been no tl of this card for nearly 2 years (T_T) .... Even though my JP is lackluster I wanted to try it. So this turned out 50% Google and 50% dictionary.. Please let me know if you find anything awkward or incorrect and I'll correct it!
＊ Please note that you're free to re-translate it fully in human translations!! This was a temporary thing I did and If you post it, please contact me thru dms and I'll take down this translation! Thank you.

🌈 Toshiki Masuda (Iori’s voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?
🌈 I drink chamomile tea, warm my face on the vapor machine and sleep in a room with such a comfy ambience that it’s hard for me to get out of bed. I also force myself to eat something even if I don't want to.
Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
🌈 Of course, the plot is about Nagi. Will IDOLiSH7’s bonds cross the barrier between countries? The plot is serious but it also has that easy-going atmosphere like always.
Q3: To conclude, leave a message to the fans that shows your enthusiasm about Fan Festival vol.4
🌈 I would like to talk about all our Ainana memories and how things will develop in the future. Let me hear about your likes/loves and dreams. I’ll be waiting.
💜 Atsushi Abe (Sougo’s voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?
💜 I drink a café latte while I relax on a giant puff.
Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
💜 There are many but i would like you to pay more attention to ŹOOĻ! And to us in MEZZO” of course.
Q3: To conclude, leave a message to the fans that shows your enthusiasm about Fan Festival vol.4
💜 When I realized, we were already at the fourth Fan Festival! Let’s all have fun together again, alright?
🎼 Wataru Hatano (Gaku's voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?
🎼 To change the scenario, I try to play a game on the TV but my cat stays on the sofa so I end up leaving the game aside and play with it instead. Those are the moments where I feel more relaxed.
Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
🎼 I think Nagi and those who surround him. I would also like you to pay more attention to the new characters. As for TRIGGER, there’s such a realistic scene, so look forward to it!
Q3: To conclude, leave a message to the fans that shows your enthusiasm about Fan Festival vol.4
🎼 This is a fan’s festival to enjoy the ainanaverse! This time the veterans of Re:vale will join us! I’m sure it will be fun! Let’s rock together!
🐉 Takuya Sato (Ryunosuke’s voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?
🐉 I relax my body while I watch a video of “easy yoga to do at home”. By just doing that I see a difference the next day, so even if I feel tired at night, I try to take at least 5 minutes to do this.
Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
🐉 Yes! I wanted to talk about this, this and that but there are things I cannot say. What I would like to say in the first place is that there’s no challenge that cannot be surpassed. Many things have happened in the past but we’ve seen them lift their heads up and keep going forward each time. I would like you to expect the same this time.
Q3: To conclude, leave a message to the fans that shows your enthusiasm about Fan Festival vol.4
🐉 I’m really happy to be at the Fan Festival once again! I’m so grateful to spend this time with those who always support me. And I'm not the only TRIGGER member this time! This is incredible! Let’s do our best together! Everyone, let’s have fun!
🍑 Soichiro Hoshi (Momo’s voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?
🍑 I like to take long and relaxing baths~~
Well I’m someone who enjoys doing that but on the other side i end up not having much time to sleep. I wish i could do both~~
Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
🍑 We finally arrived to Part 4. Wait, no, isn't it a bit early??? Things have started to diffuse again! What–?
…Well, everything: there are so many things happening in Ainana. Have you managed to catch up~? I also end up a bit overwhelmed (laughs). With Momo and Yuki, part 4 will be really fun!
Q3: To conclude, leave a message to the fans that shows your enthusiasm about Fan Festival vol.4
🍑 My first appearance at a Fan Festival! Rather than with excitement, I would like to spend a relaxing time with you. I hope it’ll be like a big rest for everyone. A lot of fun things are waiting for us in Ainana, so let’s enjoy together with the excitement that represents it!
💚 Shinnosuke Tachibana (Yuki’s voice actor)
Q1: About the title “AI-na-night!” What'd you do when you get back home tired at night?

Q2: The 4th part has begun! Are there any details you would like people to pay attention to?
💚 Now…body…Yu-...from…Re-...suffers…expo- Aaaaaaaah i can't say it!! (laughs)
