A3! Spotlight Event Translation - Spotlight (Secret): Ikaruga Brothers & Hyodo Brothers & Shadows in the Moonlight (1/19)
*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi
---
Prologue: Secret Special Feature
*door opens*
Kasumi: Hi there.
Izumi: Kasumi-san!?
Wait, did we have a meeting scheduled today?
Kasumi: Nope. I had an interview nearby, so I decided to stop by.
Izumi: Oh, I see! That surprised me.
Kasumi: Ahaha. I guess my little prank was a success.
I’m glad I happened to bump into Isuke outside.
Oh right. Thanks to all of you, our last feature on Flora High and Tsuku High was a huge hit.
It looks like everyone can’t stop longing for their youths, huh?
Izumi: I guess so.
I’m glad all the readers enjoyed it.
Ah. You came all the way here, so please have some tea.
I’ll make some right now.
Kasumi: Aw, thank you. Actually, I also brought something I’d like to pass along to you.
I received a whole lot of these, so I’m sharing them with you.
Izumi: Woah, thank you so much!
Are these sweets? They’re all Christmas-y and adorable!
Kasumi: Hehe, aren’t they? There’s several different types of packaging….
This one’s a Christmas tree, and this one looks like Santa.
Izumi: Ah. Is this one a gingerbread man?
Christmas is just around the corner, alright.
Kasumi: Mm, I wonder if I can ask…
Izumi: ? What is it?
Kasumi: What are your plans for Christmas?
Naturally, I’m going to spend mine with my daughters…
But I wonder who Director will be spending it with.
Izumi: I’m… not telling.
Kasumi: Aw~.
Izumi: You’ll see if you come to the MANKAI dorm.
Kasumi: Ahaha. Doesn’t that mean you’re going to spend it with all the troupe members?
Izumi: Fufu. I heard it’s common to spend Christmas with your family overseas.
Kasumi: Family…?
I see. Why don’t we make “family” the next “Spotlight” special feature then?
Because we’re family, there are sides of each other that we know, and on the other hand, sides of each other that we don’t know. And there are surely bonds that you would never be able to form anywhere else.
I’ve always wanted to write an article about that kind of special, deep relationship.
During this season, I’m sure each family has their own Christmas stories and such.
We can ask troupe members who have family or close connections within or outside the troupe. What do you think?
Izumi: Family, huh…
(Speaking of families, we have Juza-kun and Kumon-kun, Misumi-kun and Madoka-kun, and also…)
(Hisoka-san and Chikage-san, I suppose?)
(If we’re going to make a special feature, then the Hyodo brothers might be a good choice…)
(But I think it would be safer not to reveal the relationship between Misumi-kun and Madoka-kun since he's still just a student and part of another troupe.)
(As for Hisoka-san and Chikage-san…)
I-It’s really hard to explain…
Kasumi: Hm?
Izumi: Ah, nothing!
…
…I think there are lots of different types of families, not just one.
There are families that society would call "normal families", and there are also families who have missed each other and are now finally growing closer, little by little…
There are also families who may not be related by blood, but the strength of their bonds are even stronger than that.
MANKAI Company is like one big family, so I consider all of them my family.
That’s why when you say “family”, it’s a bit hard to narrow it down…
Kasumi: …I see.
That’s very true. A “family” is a special relationship, so it can be difficult sometimes.
I mean, even our home is a bit different than what society considers normal as well.
Alright, let’s discuss the next special feature again in a proper meeting next time.
Izumi: Sounds good.
(I know I was declining the offer in a roundabout way, but I’m grateful Kasumi-san understood.)
(Though, I do feel sorry I turned down the special feature just like that.
I’ll have to properly explain the circumstances and apologize later…)
(It won’t fill in for the feature, but I wonder if they’ll tell me if I ask them.
About their special memories with their precious family members—)

Alright, so that first episode was...interesting.
Madney is back in full swing, very happy that happened. Just when Bathena thought they were going on their honeymoon finally, nope. I hope she doesn't lose her mom. Hen becoming Interim Captain felt absolutely right.
Loving the focus on Buck here. My heart hurt for him when Oliver let out that "Is this because I don't have a couch?" I think I literally went 'Oh, Buck...' But I loved the convo Bobby has with him and of course the domestic Buckley Diaz scene but I truly truly loved that shot of Eddie and Christopher at home doing the same activity they had done at Buck's apartment, followed by the shot of Buck in his apartment and moving his single-seat recliner in the place of the couch, and sitting down, happy. It literally goes in line with what Bobby said, he's not ready yet. (which I'm willing to bet is why Buck says that couch line in the scene, it's not just about being Interm Captain) But they still made sure to show us the Diaz boys right before it, especially after Christopher was remarking on it.
Like I said earlier, canon Buddie is no longer a question of if; it's a matter of when.
