#Novem
☆ LIVING LANGUIDLY - NOVEMBAR ☆
SHUN: In the guest seats are Yoru, Jormun, and..
ARATA: Haru-san who are enjoying a relaxing cup of tea from the SeptemBar...
JORMUN: I'm emptying my brain! Hot!! But!! Here's a good Dashi in a tea cup!!
YORU: Haru-san, here, it's YormunTea!
HARU: It's okay. I'm good.
ARATA: It's uncomfortable hot.
#Novem
☆ LIVING LANGUIDLY - NOVEMBAR ☆
ARATA: The guests are the perfect lineup with one from Gravi, one from Procella and one neutral (?) party.
SHUN: Right~ We're all ready☆ So, let's talk freely.
ARATA: Yes~
SHUN: The rules are simple♪ We'll be looking for themes to talk about, so if someone responds with something, for example "tomato", Arata and I will then talk about whatever comes to our mind about tomatoes.
ARATA: It's whatever we think of first (emphasizing). The topic could be one word or be like 5 words long... Well, let's take it easy~
SHUN: We'll be testing our capability to respond on the spot.
ARATA: Since everyone can see the themes, please be respectful~
#Novem
☆ SELECTION FOR NOVEMBAR'S FIRST THEME ☆
SHUN: Now then, let's pick something.
ARATA: Okay.
SHUN: We'll choose one of the replies that you'll (the fans) have to this post, okay?
ARATA: Hmm, I will... take the 14th reply.
SHUN: Then I'll take the... 11th one♪ We'll count it as they appear.
ARATA: Bring the themes on!
#Novem
SHUN: Woooah, everyone, you're so quick!
ARATA: This selection isn't easy at all!! It's like a push-the-button quiz!!!
SHUN: Let's choose bigger numbers next time.
ARATA: We'll have to!! But everyone, thank you!!!
#Novem
SHUN: So, my theme is soup♪ Tsukino Tei was also mentioned as one of the topics. But should I talk about regular soup so that it doesn't becomes a sales promotion?
ARATA: Mine is lunar eclipse. Eh? Isn't this theme a bit too difficult?? Everyone, do you have memories of the lunar eclipse?? I'll have to make something up.
#Novem
☆ SHUN'S TALK - SOUP ☆
SHUN: Soup. There are many cold soups being made lately, but I wonder if there's any representing a winter soup? A food that gently warms you up... that's called soup. A memory of soup that I have is... of Sakaki-san's soup when I was little.
#Novem
SHUN: You see, I'm a spoiled young master...
ARATA: It's amazing how you can proudly say that about yourself, Shun-san.
SHUN: Fufufu, thank you. So, my chef will make anything I want to eat. He'll make it beautiful with the right nutritional balance... laying a very delicious dish on the dinner table.
#Novem
SHUN: Once, in winter, I asked for soup. A creamy spiny lobster soup was made. It was delicious but when I was little, I'd admire the soups appearing on commercials instead of the finest French cuisine being served. So, I wanted to eat the Japanese White Stew I saw on TV.
#Novem
SHUN: But I thought I'd be ungrateful if I said anything, so I thanked him, saying "it's delicious, Merci!" The chef was pleased and it ended there. I didn't say anything else. But you know, that night, Sakaki-san said "it's a secret midnight snack"..... and handed me a homemade white stew.
T/N: Merci is French for "Thank you."
#Novem
SHUN: It still is the best soup, absolutely unforgettable. The end♪
ARATA: That was a nice storyyyyyyy!!!!
SHUN: And now, it's Arata's turn with his Lunar Eclipse theme.
ARATA: The difficulty is as high as Mt. Everest, but I'll try to keep it as short as possible
#Novem
☆ ARATA'S TALK - LUNAR ECLIPSE ☆
ARATA: Today is a partial lunar eclipse. When I heard that it looked like a takoyaki, I did my best to take a picture of it, muttered "the moon is beautiful" and have the girls go "ohmygod!!" And then, Hajime-san posted a message in our group chat with a picture of the moon with the word "takoyaki" on it.
ARATA & SHUN: Ohmygod!!
#Novem
ARATA: In the end, I said what Shun-san and I just said. The end.
SHUN: And now for the next topic.
#Novem
☆ SELECTION FOR NOVEMBAR'S SECOND THEME ☆
ARATA: "Lunar eclipse"... I thought it would be nice if I could eat the delicious looking moon... Now I'm aiming for a lucky choice for this next theme.
SHUN: Second round of theme selection has begun~
ARATA: I'll.. do my best to count! The 24th one!
SHUN: And I'll take the 31st.
ARATA: Please reply with themes to talk about~
#Novem
ARATA: My theme is Pocky (shine)
SHUN: Mine is my aspiration for next year's (shine)
#Novem
☆ ARATA'S TALK - POCKY ☆
ARATA: Alright! Pocky!! The world will be more delicious. Here are the profiles and songs for Lico and Gli and the rest of the members... And well, when you think you Pocky, you think of the Pocky Game, right?
It's legendary.
A tradition often done at a joint party.
But I'm an idol. I've never done it. So, its a legend for me too.
Pocky Game, right?
HARU: Arata, calm down (lol)
#Novem
ARATA: By the way, Grevi's version of the Pocky Game is like a samurai game. Each of us holds a pocky in our mouth and fights. Whoever breaks the opponent's pocky wins (Pocky is delicious, even the broken ones). You can actually get injuries so we have to fight seriously. Like no joke. This is my kind of Pocky Game.
T/N: Arata genuinely made a typo LOL
ARATA: Grevi? What is that? It's supposed to Gravi. I'm not upset. Not at all.
#Novem
ARATA: A certain purple man also believes that the Pocky Game is played like that!! The legendary tradition is still a secret!! It's fine if we don't give Excalibur to someone who already has legendary class equipment, right? Right?? I don't know, but it's like cute, right? Right?? This is something that I wholeheartedly believe in!!
T/N: He's basically saying that its fine preserve Hajime's once-in-a-while innocence.
#Novem
ARATA: That's all for my Pocky talk.
JORMUN: It was crunchy (pokipoki).
YORU: You derived (pokipoki) from Pocky (pokki) (laughs)?
#Novem
☆ SHUN'S TALK - ASPIRATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR ☆
SHUN: Increasing my work quality☆
ARATA: Shun-san's work quality increasing = Gravi's work quality increasing too, so it's a good aspiration for us too~
HARU: It's important.
YORU: Shun-san!! Please do your best for Procella too!!!
#Novem
☆ SELECTION FOR NOVEMBAR'S THIRD THEME ☆
SHUN: Hmm, let's do the final one for today☆
ARATA: Okayy~
SHUN: Send us a theme to talk about, everyone. This time.. maybe I should try the 19th one?
ARATA: I'll do doublets, so the 44th one! I'll do my best to count. Looking forward to it!
#Novem
SHUN: Mine's kotatsu.
ARATA: And mine's bath.
SHUN: Woah.
ARATA: Oh, oh.
SHUN & ARATA: Everyone, it's going to be nice and warm~
HARU: You both, what kind of energy is that? (laughs)
#Novem
☆ ARATA'S TALK - BATH ☆
ARATA: Bath.... Okay, so this happened recently. Uhm~ Sometimes, I take a shower but whenever possible, I'd like to take a bath. But the time to enter is very different.
\ Bath, Fluttering Down /
Splash! (enter)
Splash! (exit)
Sometimes I soak for about 30 minutes.
T/N: More information about the Japanese bathing can be found here.
And Fluttering Down is Arata's Song 舞い降りる (lit. Mai Oriru). For new fans, all you need to know is that Arata is obsessed with it. He'd randomly go "Mai Oriru" to others when there's no context LMAO
#Novem
ARATA: And the place that is washed the best is... (gestures)
SHUN: Thighs?
ARATA: Yup. Because, see, I'm sitting like this and washing my body, the soap on my thighs is just increasing. What about you, Shun-san?
SHUN: ...A person did it?
ARATA: I'm sorry?
SHUN: People helped me.
ARATA: ........Should I put a beeeeep here?
SHUN: It was when I was young.
ARATA: Oh!
#Novem
ARATA: Ahh, when you were little; a child, right! Okay, okay okay, I understand. Yes, okay, I understand now that I was just flustered. It was like the Big Wheel of Iron Claw, dangerous, dangerous.
SHUN: Now, I wash myself... however I feel like it?
ARATA: For example?
SHUN: Like starting from my nape or upper arm? Or like from my stomach? Something like that.
ARATA: Cute.
#Novem
ARATA: Wait. It's my theme to talk about bath.
I like to put bath salts in my bath, so I'm glad I've received so many bath salts as presents. I'm using them properly~ Thank you very much.
There are lots of them, ones that have interesting colors, some cn even be used in hot springs too. I love having a relaxing bath.
That's all for my Bath talk~
SHUN: (clapping)
#Novem
☆ SHUN'S TALK - KOTATSU ☆
SHUN: Has everyone pulled out their kotatsu out yet? I love kotatsu so I had it pulled out by Kai just today. I told him, "bring it out, bring it out, bring it out." When he returns, he'll pull it out. Yay.
ARATA: Congratulations! Haru-san, us too!
HARU: Yeah, let's pull it out.
#Novem
SHUN: Kotatsu is wonderful.
The floor heating is perfect but.. feeling everyone's feet underneath is even better. I'm really happy we can all be together in one place. Sometimes, someone comes in with cold feet and someone goes "ugh" but I love it since I can rub those feet and give them warmth.
#Novem
SHUN: I'm happy with almost anything that is big, but for me, there are some things that contribute to my happiness even more. Kotatsu is one of them.
I like squeezing in such a small place.
If someone is thirsty, we play rock-paper-scissors to choose one of the brave one to leave.
#Novem
SHUN: I love kotatsu~!
ARATA: I love it too~!
SHUN: That's all for Shun-san's kotatsu talk~ I also really want to put a futon at the table like the Izakaya Horigotatsu style .
T/N: More about Horigotatsu style can be found here. Izakayaj is the equivalent of a British pub or American taverns.
#Novem
☆ CLOSING OF NOVEMBAR ☆
SHUN: ( ｡･▽･ ｡) And so, we really took it easy talked leisurely. That's NovemBar. Everyone, thank you.
ARATA: It was really fun. Thank you~
HARU: Thank you for your hard work~♪
YORU & JORMUN: Yay (clapping)
SHUN: There's still some more days left for November! So, let's have a wonderful time, okay? See you later☆
