So, there's this extremely obscure piece of Danganronpa media called Drama CDs. Sadly, they are all Japanese exclusive, but I went through hours translating as best as I could using as many accurate translators as possible, and I found this little moment from Danganronpa Rearrange: Hope's Peak Academy School Festival. This upcoming exchange starts at 10:49 in the linked video.
Toko (to Makoto): You want Maizono-san to sing, right? That makes sense. She is an idol after all. But she's a professional. I wonder if she's saying she'll sing without getting paid?
まいぞのさんに歌ってほしいわけよね。 そりゃそうでしょ. アイドルですもんね。でも、彼女はプロよ。 ギャラ無しで歌ってくれるとか言ってるのかしら?
Byakuya: She did say that. As a student of the school, it's natural.
Toko: Gyahh, B-Byakuya-sama! W-what I'm trying to say is, wouldn't it be better to show a different side of yourself that people don't usually see?
言っていたぞ。 学園の生徒として、まあ当然だ。ぎゃあ、びょくやさま、あ、あた、あたしが言いたいのは、普段見せない一面もこの際見せるって言うのもいいんじゃないかって話なわけだよ。
Byakuya: Naegi, why don't you sing?
Toko: No no, that's not what I meant! I was thinking more like me and Byakuya-sama, you know, as a surprising couple act...
えええ、そうじゃなくて、あたしと、びょくやさま、とか、みんながあっと驚くカップルテイストで。
Byakuya: I'll provide the best equipment. I want to experiment and see if someone like you can actually look decent on stage.
機材は最高のものを提供しよう。 お前みたいなものでもそれなりにステージ映えするのかどうか実験してみたい。
Makoto: D-Don't decide that on your own.
Toko: That's right, it would be so much more meaningful if Byakuya-sama sang. W-well, um, I mean, with me...
そうよ、びょくやさまがお歌いになった方がどんだけ意味のあることか。な、あの、ていうか、あた、あたしと。
It gets even better is right after when Celeste joins in the conversation and suggests to sing...
Makoto: Does this mean Celes-san is going to perform something on stage?
セレスさんが何かステージで披露されるってことかな。
Byakuya: How ridiculous. This conversation has become uninteresting, I'm leaving.
バカバカしい。 興味のない話になってきたんで俺は行くぞ。
Celeste: Are you running away? Tch. I was going to choose you, Togami Byakuya, as my duet partner.
お逃げになるの? チッ。 わたくしはデュエットの相手として、都神百夜、あなたを選ぼうとしているのですよ。
Byakuya only wanted Makoto to sing on stage and didn't care about anyone else 😂 You ain't slick, Byakuya. We all know what you are...
