Kuroba Marioâs birthday during Kurosute Overdrive
I had to edit the video because it was longer. I had heard about this from fan reports, but it is always better watch it with your own eyes. This year, Marioâs birthday was during Kurosute performances and it was really cute when everyone sang happy birthday, every Kaijo member said some words to him and even he was given the chance to say the final greeting that day~
âMEGADANâ OFFICIAL GUIDE BOOK - KUROBA MARIO (SCANS AND TRANSLATION)
I wanted to do this but I hadnât had the time to translate anything. I purchased this little photobook while ago and as soon as I saw the questions to each actor (there are questions for Arisawa Shoutarou, Wada Masanari and Tamaki Yuki as well) I wanted to give Marioâs questionnaire a try!
This is the first time I translate something more than a tweet, so of course I may have some mistakes, but I tried to make it understandable to read. Translating is so hard, English is not even my first language lol.
For the questions, I really recommend you to watch the drama before reading this, since most of them are related directly to the first episode in which Mario appears. That being said, enjoy~

Notes
(1) It doesnât mean he is literally colorblind lol, but he has no sense of color in a picture. At this point, you can tell he is not good at drawing and anything related to it xD
(2) Donburi is a Japanese "rice bowl dish" consisting of fish, meat, vegetables or other ingredients simmered together and served over rice.
(3) Daikon Oroshi is a white snow-like condiment that enhances the flavors of dishes.
(4) Rice. He literally says 飯ăŽçˇ Meshi no Otoko. Meshi is also used to refer meals in general, but since he mentioned rice before, I just left it that way.
(5) They are all fictional. For more info, here, here and here.
(6) Ofu-kai is a offline meeting where people, who normally interact online, meet face to face.
