Shitenhōji is streaming this week. They have been my favourite team since 1st Season, not to mention the commentary cast is just about as ideal as can be.
This is really a group of small kids, both in terms of age and size LOL
Commentary translation under cut, along with a little of my blurbing. Please go watch it even if you own the blu-rays! 🤣
This is an audio extract of my favourite scene in hypmic stage track 3. The synopsis, acting, music, ensemble, and stage play easily make this one of the best 2.5D productions I’ve seen. The costumes also deserve much praise. The workmanship on these are those of real theatre, not the cheap 2.5D quality you come across so much.
Translation under cut. The lyrics are without text references as I didn’t make it to the theatre. Since my translation is wildly re-arranged, I’ve left the Japanese transcript.
Wish me luck when Ryōta-kun comes back on stage next😭

Someone went on vacay for a few weeks and came back with a Hirono Ryōta high LOL Since my sewing supplies are not with me, I’ll have to project some excess energy to translations instead. This is my missionary work to spread the love🤣
Back to Court #5.. FINALLY!! 😭 Man that took a while. Unlike last time though, I’m now truly at the proper level for this court. Hopefully I’ll manage to stay for a while and maybe eventually move higher www
The last time I translated something text-based must have been more than 10 years ago. And I’m dead serious. Interpretations are so much easier since everything happens spontaneously and there is no eye straining editing. But well, it sucks this game isn’t fully voiced.
I tried. Please forgive the lack of dialect indications and those horribly attempted puns _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): I quite seriously debated about adding #gakuyoshi and #zaiyū and now #ibukami in the tags…
Current Tenirabi event story: ICE x ICE (prologue - chapter 11, epilogue to follow once event concludes)
Honestly, there can’t be a better example of the 公式最大手 phenomenon than tenipuri. Not only this story, all the game stories scream one thing or another to those who are looking. Ah well, here comes the ending.
Once again, David is my worst nightmare. As much as I love him, he better not show up in anything I translate again. I tried _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):
Tenirabi event story: ICE x ICE (complete)
PROLOGUE
Hitouji Hey, the natto is nice and sticky!
Mukahi Hehe, right? I put in a lot of effort mixing it.
Hitouji Hot rice would be the obvious best choice, but it's good on pasta too.
Mukahi I know. Natto goes with anything.
Hiyoshi Mukahi-san, are you eating natto today again? Don't you get tired of it?
Mukahi Never. I'm sure you can eat your favourite food for life too.
Hiyoshi Well, true. But "for life" sounds a bit much.
Hitouji What are you talking about. "For life" sounds just right for your true love.
Hiyoshi That's really too much.
Konjiki And then and then, Zaizen-chan 💕
Hitouji !
(Koharu!!!)
Konjiki I heard they have the best tapioca matcha latte. Want to go tapitapi?
Zaizen The hell is "tapitapi..."
Hitouji W... what!
(Cheating!!!!!)
Hiyoshi Is that all right?
Mukashi Normally you'd have jumped at it right away.
Hitouji ...I've done the shouting internally so it's fine.
Mukahi Is that what it is?
Hitouji Rein it in, rein it in... Deep breath... Phew... Phew...
Mukahi What’s up with you?
Hitouji I heard Koharu saying "tolerant people are wonderful" to the high schoolers.
I'm not gonna make a fuss over small things because I'm a generous man.
Hiyoshi/Mukahi ......
Konjiki This tapioca place 💕 Let's look at their menu on my phone.
Zaizen Wait, sempai, you're too close. I don't see how this proximity is necessary.
Hitouji Damm...! Patience...!
Konjiki Ah, that's Kamio-kun!
Kamio-kuuuuun!! Are you interested in tapioca 💕
Hitouji To hell with "Kamio-kun..."
To hell with "tapioca!!!"
Mukahi Here snaps the last straw.
Hiyoshi That was rather fast.
Zaizen Hmm? Didn't realize you were here, Yūji-sempai.
Hitouji I was here since the beginning!!
Zaizen Normally you'd have yelled "cheating" and annoyed me by now.
Hitouji What do you mean by annoy!
Zaizen It's rare for you to just watch.
Hitouji ...Huh, no problem. I'm generous.
Zaizen Really.
Hitouji (I ended up missing Koharu for dinner...)
Hitouji I'm back.
Amane Welcome back.
Konjiki Ah, Yū-kun.
Hitouji (Right, generosity! I've gotta show what I’m made of.)
Konjiki I'm about to go shower.
Hitouji Sure, go ahead.
Konjiki ...? Well then...
And about tapioca...
Hitouji Tapioca!?
(Damn! Tapioca ticked me off!)
Hitouji/Konjiki .........
Amane What's with you two?
Hitouji Eh, it's nothing...
Konjiki .........I guess "tiny brown balls" mean natto to Yū-kun after all.
Hitouji !?
Konjiki Well, I'm gonna go shower.
Hitouji Wait... what? Ko... Koharu??
What did you mean by that!?
CHAPTER 1
Hitouji Koharuuuuu!!!!
Koharu......
(He's not here... Did he finish already?)
Hitouji Sighs......
OshitariK Yūji, you look worn out. Not feeling well?
Tanishi You knead ice cream into a thin layer and then roll it up. It looks just as good as it tastes.
Zaizen It’s the type of dessert that looks good on SNS.
Hitouji I might have seen it on TV.
Kamio They have a menu with pictures on the sign board.
Hitouji ...It’s pretty adorable looking.
Seems like something Koharu would like.
Zaizen I suppose.
Kamio Whoa, that’s really cool. Rolling such a thin layer of ice cream neatly sure needs pro skills!
Hitouji I’ve gotta watch them and copy those skills.
Kamio What? You want to make that?
Hitouji ......
Tanishi ......
Kamio Both of them are fully focused.
Zaizen They could’ve bought and tasted the ice cream instead of just watch.
Kamio Haha...
Kite Tanishi-kun, how long are you gonna watch that for?
Chinen We’re moving on.
Tanishi Uh...
Kite Hurry up already. Kai-kun and Hirakoba-kun are waiting for us.
Tanishi At least let me see them finish this ice cream...
Kite Even if it’s finished, you’re not the one to eat it.
Chinen-kun, drag him along.
Chinen Alrighty.
Tanishi Heeyyy!!
Kite Do I always have to babysit...
Hitouji ......
Kamio This one is still focused despite the whole ordeal.
Zaizen Yeah. Looks like we’re not moving any time soon.
Kamio What do we do? Should we get ice cream rolls since we‘re here?
??? Kamio.
CHAPTER 8
Tachibana Kamio.
Kamio Ah, Tachibana-san!? And Shinji!?
Ibu How can you be that surprised? You’re overreacting.
Kamio Of course I’m surprised. What brought you guys here?
Tachibana Shinji told me you were dragged away.
Zaizen Oh, that’s my sempai’s doing.
Hitouji ......
Zaizen The suspect in question is occupied as you can see.
Tachibana He’s quite serious. Is he learning how to make that?
Zaizen Yes.
Ibu Why doesn’t he give it a try?
Tachibana I agree. Tasting is an important part of cooking.
Kamio This place is pretty popular it seems.
Zaizen It’s pretty boring just waiting. Let’s get our ice cream rolls.
Ibu I’ll go too since there aren’t a lot of people lining up.
Kamio Shinji, did you get your ice cream?
Ibu Yeah. It took longer than I thought because they were making all orders in front of the customers.
Kamio Let me see. So these are ice cream rolls.
Ibu You’re staring. And you’re too close.
Kamio Nothing wrong with that. I’m curious. Ann-chan will probably like this kind of ice cream with cute packaging.
Ibu Probably. It tastes pretty good too.
Kamio Hey, don’t dig in yet, I’m still appreciating it!
Ibu Stop nagging... I’m eating before it melts.
Kamio ......
Ibu What?
Kamio Watching you eat makes me want one too...
Can I have a bite?
Ibu No.
Kamio Mine!
Ibu Ah!
Kamio Hehe, you’re wide open.
Ibu Hey, you really are shameless. I can’t believe you just ate my ice cream even though I just said no.
Kamio But it’s so good. Shinji, can I have another bite?
Ibu I get it. Your plan is to make me buy this so you can save some cash... I’ve had enough of you...
Kamio Sorry. I’ll get another one and we can share.
Ah, Tachibana-san, would you like to give it a try too? It’s not that sweet.
Ibu That’s my ice cream...
Tachibana Since you offered. May I?
Ibu Sure. Please.
Hitouji ...Hmm? Taste?
Zaizen Did you finally come back to reality?
Hitouji I never left! I’m just extremely focused!
When did you get that ice cream?
Zaizen Just now. Why don’t you work on taste too, Yūji-sempai?
Hitouji True. Let me have a bite. C’mon.
Zaizen What’s with that hand...
CHAPTER 9
Tōyama Ah! Here he is! Koharu’s here!
Koharu!!
Konjiki What are you guys all doing here?
Chitose Just chilling.
Konjiki Whoa 💕 You guys really get along.
Shiraishi I thought you were with Yūji and Zaizen.
OshitariK Didn’t you mention you were looking for Yūji?
Ishida If you haven’t found him, shall we give you a hand?
OshitariK Leave it to us. We’ll find him in no time!
Konjiki No worries. I have a pretty good idea about what he’s up to. I want to give him a little more space.
Shiraishi/OshitariK ...?
Chitose All that aside, this is still a lot of people here.
Tōyama It’s almost like going home with everyone after school! I want snacks too!
Chitose Too much to choose from. It’s so hard to decide.
OshitariK You’ve gotta get a cold ice cream on such a hot day, right?
Tōyama Ice cream!
Ishida Well, I’ll get this one with fillings.
Shiraishi Did you already have your ice cream fix, Koharu?
Konjiki Not yet, but I’m leaving it to later. Don’t worry about me.
Tōyama But Koharu, you don’t look the normal cheerful self today.
Konjiki Kintarō-san...
OshitariK You’re still concerned about Yūji after all?
Ishida Now that Kenya mentioned it, it seemed a bit off between you guys since this morning.
Konjiki Truth is, Yūji and I had a bit of a fight over something mundane...
Chitose What happened?
Shiraishi You can tell us if you want.
OshitariK Exactly. We’re your friends. Always listening.
Tōyama Of course! Hope you guys make up soon!
Konjiki Thank you guys...
I knew Yūji liked natto more than tapioca, but I couldn’t help myself... and made awkward remarks...
Ishida Tapioca?
Tōyama What’s that?
OshitariK Ah... So this is what Yūji was talking about the other day. Your fight really is over nothing.
Chitose Both are tiny brown balls, right?
OshitariK They taste completely different.
Tōyama It’s all the same once you eat them!
Konjiki Hehe, true.
Tōyama Where did Yūji and Zaizen go?
Konjiki ......
I’m gonna go take a look.
CHAPTER 10
Hitouji ......
Zaizen Can you stop eating my ice cream in dead silence?
Give it back already.
Hitouji Wait, I’m almost getting somewhere. I’ll pay for half of it.
Zaizen Is this a penalty or what? Why do I have to share with you?
Hitouji That’s my line. I’m crying inside sharing with you.
Zaizen The heck...
Konjiki Kamio-kuuuuun 💕
Hitouji Ko...!
Hey, come over here, Zaizen!
Zaizen What?
Konjiki Kamio-kun, what a coincidence 💕 Let me have a bite of your ice cream 💕
Kamio That really is out of nowhere!!
Zaizen Why do we have to hide?
Hitouji Because... I haven’t completely figured out my dessert for Koharu.
Zaizen You didn’t have to—
Kamio Hold on, did you have to cling to my arm!?
Konjiki Hehe 💕 Feed me!
Ibu He’s looking at Kamio with puppy eyes and an open mouth. He really means it.
Tachibana Looks like a baby bird.
Hitouji —!!!!
Zaizen Why do you have to hide down here and run in circles in your own head? Just go for it if that bothers you so much.
Hitouji I can’t...
Zaizen ......Jeez.
That’s enough. I’m out.
Hitouji ! Wait!
(I held Zaizen back without thinking...)
Zaizen ......
Hitouji (Running in circles in my head... I guess he’s right...)
I’m... sorry for dragging you around today.
...Thanks for sticking with me. I’m pretty grateful even if I don’t look it.
Zaizen Really...
Yūji-sempai, you really are dense.
Hitouji What the! Didn’t I just thank—
Zaizen I thought you were going to start complaining again. That was a surprise.
Hitouji I won’t after all this.
Zaizen If you feel bad, then just go to Koharu-sempai already.
He’s waiting for you after all. Don’t you see?
Hitouji Yeah...
I’m done grudging on little things.
It’s time to show what I’m made of.
CHAPTER 11
Hitouji Koharu—!!!
Konjiki Yū-kun!?
Hitouji I have... something to tell you.
Konjiki ...?
Hitouji —I’m all for Koharu!!
Natto or tapioca makes no difference. I’m all for Koharu!!
This is my most honest confession!!
Konjiki Yū-kun...!
Hitouji Koharu!
Konjiki Yū-kun!
Hitouji Koharu!
Zaizen ...The hell?
What was all that cheese?
Hitouji All right, let’s go back. I’ll make you ice cream rolls.
Konjiki Aren’t they selling them over there?
Zaizen Ah, I forgot to mention, you can’t really make them since you don’t have a hot plate.
Hitouji What... You... Zaizen...
Why didn’t you say that earlier!!
Zaizen You should have realized yourself. Didn’t you watch them this entire time?
Well, if you really wanted, I’m sure there are ways to do it without a hot plate.
Konjiki Let’s get it here today. I was just craving some ice cream on such a hot day.
Hitouji Koharu! I’ll get the ice cream for you...!
Zaizen So you’re buying it after all.
Hitouji Koharu 💕
Konjiki The ice cream is pink! That’s so cute.
Hitouji On top of the looks, it’s nice and cold and sweet.
Konjiki Make sure you have some too. We’ll share.
Hitouji Koharu...! I... I... I’m gonna cry tears of joy!
Zaizen Ah...
This whole thing really was boring cheese from beginning to end.
EPILOGUE
Hitouji Hahaha!
Zaizen You’re really in a good mood.
Hitouji I’ve been the happiest guy in the world since sharing ice cream with Koharu.
On top of that, I also mastered the arts of making ice cream rolls. I’m capable of anything my mind is set on.
Zaizen Well, your determination to find a hot plate replacement is a hats-off. More like, your persistency is rather intimidating.
Hitouji Zaizen, you look uninterested as always. Cheer up! Happiness is running away!
Aahhh, if only I could give you some of mine. Too bad can’t do.
Zaizen I don’t even feel like commenting any more.
Hitouji Hehe.
Zaizen Watching your grin makes me want to play a few rounds. Play with me.
Hitouji Sure! The happy me is ten times stronger.
Hitouji Phew! That was a good exercise.
Zaizen, hand me a towel.
Zaizen All right, all right.
Mukahi Looks like they’re having a good day.
Hiyoshi I believe they made up.
Amane Even in our room, they’re working on their comedy scripts enthusiastically.
Zaizen I can’t believe you have to put up with them even in your room.
Amane Actually, I think it’s fun.
Zaizen ...Really.
Kamio Did you end up making ice cream rolls after?
Hitouji Want to know? Want to hear? If you insist, I’ll do you a favour and tell you all about it—
Zaizen As you can see, he’s been extra annoying because everything’s going his way.
Hhitouji Hey! No spoilers!
Kamio Whoa, isn’t that great?
Amane Cold may ice be, creamy may hearts feel... Pttt.
Hitouji All thanks to ice cream.
Kamio ...I wonder if Ann-chan will like it if I made it in front of her.
Could you show me how to make it, please?
Zaizen A live video of your ice cream making sounds like some good content. I’ll second that idea.
Amane I want some ice cream too.
Mukahi Me too! You want some too, right? Hiyokko.
Hiyoshi Wait, me...?
...Hmmm, is it better to follow along here...?
Hitouji Why do I have to make ice cream for you—
Well, on second thought, I did owe you guys...
All right, an exception may be due. I’ll treat you all to Hitouji Special Ice Cream Rolls!
I could’ve sworn I posted this a few hours ago but.. well, finally Kin-chan in his glory! 🤣
My tenirabi gatcha’s really been on a roll lately. I sure hope this isn’t a trade off for the shuffle matches. Last time I missed court #5 by a hair literally. I was right at the cut off line one minute before the end, but when the results were officially accounced, it was still #6. I couldn’t believe it orz The song selection has not been in my favour. Hopefully next time will be better!
But wait.. what is this? Just answer the last thing I heard/saw/read/whatever-ed? Okay let’s try LOL
Last song: Room 205 -After Awakening-
Last movie: KINGDOM..... or so I think if it’s actually in theatre. I can tell you what the last musical I saw right away though. It’s Anastasia. Would have been the Japanese Anastasia if not for COVID💢
Currently reading: やきもちはきつねいろ. My friend sent this over the water in effort to drag me under. It’s well written though, and i definitely recommend it if you like YanaAka ☺️
Currently watching: Tenimyū 3rd Fall Sports Fest 2019
Craving: BUBBLE TEA!! The closest bubble tea place is a 90min drive one way. This is not fun!! 😭
I can’t believe they both came..... how is this even possible!? Did I just pull 2 of my own OSHIs in one draw!? Did my love devotion for 205 really do this!? OMG..... *insert incoherent screaming
Okay now the fight for Yūji is on!! 💪
Aaaaand, to celebrate the home coming of my two kids, I should translate the event story in their honour. To come after Yūji comes home too 🤣
Yes, I ship them 😂 My notes are full of manga strips and ideas for this pair, but for some reason none of those made it up my SNS. It’s about time that’s corrected.
Fitting a 4:3 rough into a square didn’t work out all that well. Should’ve moved Zaizan left a bit more. Aaaaand please don’t judge the fugly socks as they’re not my idea wwwww
Completely unrelated but even until this day, I still wonder why people can’t accept the fact that we exist. When you tell someone in the English speaking community your name, they think you’re trying to be cool by giving yourself a fake name; when you tell someone in Japan where you're from, they think you’re a nerd who watches too many Hollywood movies. Really? Are we supposed to be some sort of a myth?
For @sandreeen. I hope this didn’t stray too far from what you had in mind. Once again, thank you so much for the card story! It’s a fanfic snippet brought straight to life by the officials. So this is the so-called 公式最大手 phenomenon huh? 🤣
