Ryunosuke Tsunashi - 16 Idol Album - Part 3: Strength to protect

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

[Disclaimer: I’m NOT a professional translator. I’m using my knowledge from 4 years of university. Please, feel free to let me know if you notice mistranslation/typo/error of any kind]

Ryunosuke: The first time I held Soutaro is still vivid in my mind

Ryunosuke: He was so small, and still I was afraid I couldn’t hold his little weight as firmly as I was supposed to… I loved his tiny hand, holding my finger with all its strength

Ryunosuke: And I couldn’t help thinking… so, now I am this little guy’s big brother… I have to protect him, I have to become strong… and thinking like this gave me courage

Ryunosuke: Of course, I do remember feeling the same for Kouno and Kota as well, but Soutaro represents the first time I actually realized I'd become a big brother. That’s why the one I told you is a special memory to me

Tenn: This is very much like you, Ryuu. Becoming strong not for yourself, but to protect somebody else

Gaku: Yeah. You’re kind and warm, and at the same time you’re strong and powerful. These roots of yours are thanks to your father, right?

Ryunosuke: Yeah. Whenever something happens he laughs it off and says everything is alright, and then he secretly takes everything on his shoulders. He’s such a kind, strong, cool dad!

Tenn: I still haven't had the honor to meet him in person, but looking at you I can tell he’s a wonderful father

Gaku: One must be a great man to raise a great son like you, Ryuu!

Ryunosuke: Ahah, thank you! It’s not about me, and still I feel happy to hear this from the two of you!

Gaku: Tell us more about your father!

Ryunosuke: Let’s see…actually, I never had the impression I looked like him much, but recently I kind of changed my mind

Tenn: What do you mean?

Ryunosuke: For example, we both cry pretty often. Soutaro did tell me I resemble him before, but now I realize it’s actually true…

Gaku: Ahah! You’re both soft-hearted, then! That’s pretty nice!

Tenn: Yes. I can’t think of an unemotional Ryuu

Ryunosuke: Y-yes, but maybe I’m a little too sentimental…

Gaku: That’s why I like you

Tenn: You’re both men who go straight to the point, mh?

Ryunosuke:...thank you…I wonder if we get more similar as I get older…

Gaku: I bet it works like that for all those who share the same blood. Even though I used to think that I would never become like my father

Tenn: And you think you do, now?

Gaku: It’s pretty weird to say it myself, but maybe the fact that once we decide on something, we both stand by our belief…?

Ryunosuke: You’re really a fighter, Gaku! And I find this side of yours amazing. You inherited it from the president, then!

Gaku: However, back then…I used to be pissed off at such a father

Tenn: You're honest with your feelings, both good and bad. They immediately show on your face, like an open book. That’s what you inherited from the president

Gaku: Well, I didn’t think we were that similar, though!?

Ryunosuke. W-well, I don’t think there's anything wrong with becoming more and more similar to each other…it may help you understand the other better!

Gaku: Shit, it’s complicated…

Gaku: How about you, Tenn? How was Mr. Nanase as a father?

Tenn: …I don't know. I haven’t seen him for a long time so I can’t really say, but I guess he also used to stare at shows like I do now

Tenn: He was so focused on shows that he couldn’t even hear our voices if we talked to him

Ryunosuke: I see… when you look at a live show DVD there is some kind of atmosphere suggesting we don't talk, indeed. It’s something you inherited from your father, then

Gaku: He must have been really devoted to work

Tenn: Yes. To the point I already understood that when I was a kid

Ryunosuke: Blood ties are really strong, aren’t they? Soutaro is also becoming very reliable, just like dad…

Gaku: Have you heard from your brothers lately?

Ryunosuke: Yeah! We had a phone call just yesterday! They told me they watched the music program we appeared in!

Tenn: I’m happy to hear that. They’re bright, honest boys

Ryunosuke: Yes! From my perspective as a big brother they’re amazing men already. And still, being told by such an enthusiastic Soutaro how cool I am when I work as a member of Trigger made me feel happy

Gaku: Hey, you’re always cool

Ryunosuke: Thanks! You too, Gaku!

Ryunosuke: But praising me wasn’t the only thing he did. During the conversation I heard him telling Kouno and Kota things like “Get in the bath!” or “Clean it up!” He was really acting like a big brother

Ryunosuke: I was touched, because I understood that Soutaro is…really becoming a man

Tenn: Soutaro kun is a cheerful boy, of course, but he also gives the impression of being very serious. When he came to our dressing rooms, he greeted us very politely

Gaku: Yeah! Despite being so young, he said something like “Please, keep on taking care of my brother!” You could immediately tell he had little brothers himself

Ryunosuke: He told me he did his best because he wanted to make a good impression on both of you. But, yes…he was able to bring our little brothers to Tokyo and also greet you in the best way

Ryunosuke: …it seems only yesterday that he was just a baby…

Gaku: My grandma told me the very same thing many times lately. So, is it a thing?

Ryunosuke: It’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but yes, I mean… just recently he was calling me “nini” and following me holding my hand

Gaku: I don’t think that happened recently, though! Right, Tenn?

Tenn: I understand what you mean, Ryuu

Ryunosuke: I was sure!

Gaku: Ah, I forgot he also has a brother complex…

Ryunosuke: Actually…I’m happy he manages to do everything even if I’m not there, but at the same time it gives me a melancholic feeling… just a bit…

Gaku: What are you saying? The fact you have such a good brother is because he followed your example

Tenn: I would like to thank him for leading us his great big brother…

Ryunosuke: Gaku…Tenn…

Gaku: You said “someone like me” a lot. So I’ll tell you again

Gaku: As sure as hell, there were many days when TRIGGER would’ve ended if you weren’t there. You’ve always been the one who kept us together

Tenn: I know that the Ryuu we know is the way he is thanks to Soutaro kun, your other little brothers and your father

Tenn: However, I feel like we have a connection stronger than blood

Ryunosuke:.....ahah… no way… my brothers always tell me I’m a crybaby…

Gaku: There’s nothing wrong with being a crybaby

Tenn: We are glad to be touched by your tender tears

Ryunosuke: Thank you. My family always inspires me, and the two of you are included in it

Ryunosuke: I’ll always do my best to be a cool big brother to you as well. I’ll always do my best to be strong enough to reassure you, no matter what happens

Ryunosuke: I want to keep on being honest with myself. I want to step on the ground with all my strength and keep on moving forward

The end

Walmart started pitting ynfg protags against each other and it was actually pretty interesting.

Matchups:

Flourette vs Sabitsuki (Flourette wins)

Itsuki vs Mariana (Itsuki wins, barely)

Totsutsuki vs Kubotsuki (...love wins?)

Muma vs Sometsuki (Muma wins, and also goes evil mode for some reason)

Tatsuki vs Soutaro (Soutarou wins, very quickly might I add)

Reshnha vs Me (Me wins)

Favorite parts:

Sabi trying to shoot Flou and her just going "nuh uh" and fucking blinding her

Itsuki just barely winning

Tots deciding to just leave mid match, love winning, also tots nearly fucking dying from one of the DUDES (origami effect saved her)

Sou just. Casually mixing distort and clot together. Also Tats being stubborn as hell

Whatever the fuck happened with Muma

Reshnha getting nearly TORN IN HALF and then proceeding to get back up like nothing happened (he used rambutan like. Three times during the fight and the ai described it every single time)

Mugen Ranbu Shou (Traducción)

Título: Mugen Ranbu Shou Interprete: Soutarou Itagaki Letra: Yoshie Isogai Música, Arreglos: Chihiro Tamaki Compositor: Takamitsu Ono Traducción: Elsy Animetronik (o sea, yo mera)

Iba a añadir esto a vídeo pero a la mera hora me dio hueva, bueno, como saben, no domino el idioma, y es muy probable que haya fallas (he dejado las clases de japones :’v, la retomaré, lo juro por Dieguito Maradona).

Letra

Kanji

一陣の風が如く　時代を駆けゆけと

闇を裂いて　響く刃音　宿命を背負い往くは乱世　舞うは夢か現か

硬き岩も砕く剣　その身は唯　気高く焔が如く煌めく

刹那に込め討ち込む　猛き一撃　雷鳴轟かせ戦場に燃ゆるは　生命の華

いざ出陣　さあ土煙上げ　地平の果てまで荒野に落ちた　名もなき泪　踏み越えてゆけたとえその全てが果敢無くとも　天を仰ぎ覚悟を宿して　闘うのみ烈しく　強く　乱れ舞うように

吹雪く花は　何を求め　何を願うか月よ照らせ　我が誇りを　使命を

己が技を磨き上げて　五感を研ぎ澄ませてこの身が砕け散るまで

したたる紅き滴　其れより出でし　鋼で在る故か水鏡に映るは　哀しき業

いざ　ほとばしる閃光放ち　虚空を斬り裂け栄華　喧噪　静寂もまた　泡沫なれど如何なる時でも役目貫き　守り抜くと繚乱の刻を　突き進まん呼び覚まされた　熱き旋律

嗚呼　浅き夢よ　修羅と散りひとたびの縁　繰りかえしただ刻みゆく歴史の中無常を奏でる　魂の詩

永久に潰えぬ　主命を胸に　鮮やかに放つ一撃こそ　我が存在の意義であるから

いざ出陣　さあ土煙上げ　地平の果てまで荒野に残る　夢跡さえも　踏み越え進めたとえその全てが果敢無くとも　天を仰ぎ覚悟を宿して　闘うのみ

烈しく　強く　乱れ舞うように

Español

Al igual que una ráfaga de viento, hemos aparecido en esta época.

El sonido de las espadas chocando resuena en la oscuridad que ha impuesto el destino. Se ven venir tiempos difíciles ¿será real? o ¿un sueño?

Esta hoja con su noble cuerpo, es capaz de destruir las rocas más duras, reflejando la luz de las llamas.

En el momento en el que el trueno ruge, se desata un feroz ataque, la flor de la vida es consumida en el campo.

Corramos hasta el horizonte dejando una nube de polvo detrás de nosotros. Aquellas lagrimas sin nombre que derramamos, serán superadas con una fugaz mirada al cielo. Sólo tenemos que prepararnos para ir a aquella danza llamada batalla.

¿Quieres que los pétalos se esparzan? Dime, ¿eso es lo que quieres? La luna brilla, junto a ella mi orgullo y mi misión.

Puliré mis habilidades, agudizare mis sentidos. Hasta que este cuerpo no pueda más.

El líquido carmesí de aroma metálico comienza a gotear. Una triste escena se refleja en el charco de la historia.

Hagamos radiar el cielo con nuestra luz de forma prospera, efímera como la espuma, silenciosa y ruidosa. Sin importar qué, cumpliré con mi deber, viajare a través del tiempo y descubriré nuevas melodías.

Aah~ Como un sueño superficial. Una vez que se comienza la historia, tu alma generará una poesía, misma que repetirá eternamente.

Por siempre y para siempre, nuestra alma y corazón se mantendrán. Este golpe es muestra de nuestra existencia.

lol so when the first episode of rhyme anima debuted on niconico, this jp streaming site that scrolls people’s comments live on the video, fans and newbies came up with nicknames for everyone and they’re hilarious man

ichiro➡️ gia-bro (kimasuba’s most iconic role is gian aka gouda takeshi from doraemon and that’s all he’ll ever be known for lmao)

jiro➡️ satoshi bro (satoshi as in ash ketchum of pokemon, the kid with an iconic hat lol)

saburo ➡️ fatorisation bro (a super complicated kanji for the kid who uses super complicated words in his everyday speech lol it’s also about math which we see used to introduce saburo in the op)

samatoki ➡️ delinquent kaworu-kun (kaworu from evangelion except a bad boy lol) or hawaiian shirt bro

juto ➡️ bayo bro (they’re calling juto bayonetta please google her she’s horny and trigger happy and this is making me laugh)

rio ➡️ busujima mixed-son rio (rio’s mixed!!) or young lady bro (i wish i knew why)

ramuda ➡️ cutie girl bro

gentaro ➡️ nekiniki (direct romanization because there’s no translation for this, this is the nickname of a character named haruna soutaro from a series called dynamic chord who shares the same seiyuu)

dice ➡️ His Majesty Arisugawa Dice (his name includes the kanji for emperor lol)

jakurai ➡️ lady doctor bro or old man lady doctor

hifumi ➡️ isetan bro (isetan is a department store in japan that shares kanji with hifumi’s last name!)

doppo ➡️ hematuria bro (since he raps about hematuria on monday in the op lmao)

#this is vee speaking #from now on in this household we refer to juto as bayobro #and we call dice by his full title lmao #the little girl for rio makes me nervous because a quick google search found some very unsavory pictures #but i know when to not go down a rabbit hole lol im just going to assume that’s slang i’ll never be privy to ✌️#and also for rio half-son is the more accurate translation i just wanted to match the first letter in rios name with their pun #so mason became mixed-son lol #lmao and i assume ramuda and sensei are self explanatory 😂#c: rapping boys

Happy Go Lucky Heads - SHOW-GUTS - Lyrics English Translation

Lyrics: Sekihan Music: 324 こたつこたつこたつで In my kotatsu, kotatsu, kotatsu　みかんみかんみかん Oranges, oranges, oranges こたつでスマフォ片手に　 In my kotatsu, with cell phone in hand みかんみかんみかん Oranges, oranges, oranges こたつこたつパソコン　 Kotatsu, kotatsu, laptop みかんみかんみかん Oranges, oranges, oranges こたつテレビパソコン　 Kotatsu, TV, laptop みかんみかんみかん Oranges, oranges, oranges

ああああああああああ AAAAAA 家でこたつ入って　 Cozy at home, I slip into my kotatsu 何も変化なし Life is static ずっと食って寝てるさ　 All I do is eat and sleep 何も変化なし Life is static そうだ！抱負思いついたよ　 Oh get this! I just thought of a grand idea どやさどやさどやさ Smirky, smirky, smirk だけど！既に忘れちゃったよ　 But wait! I already forgot it 何も変化なし Life is static

噛みしめる年越しのそば Nibbling away at toshikoshi soba (歯ごたえはなく　コシもない) (There’s nothing to dig my teeth into, it isn’t chewy) 寝正月　明日の自分の Spending the holidays in bed, it’s a metaphor for what I’m gonna be tomorrow; 鏡餅メタファー(陽！) A metaphor for kagami-mochi (Yo! [Light])

尊い　踏み出す一歩 With good vibes, I take the first step 胸に　初めてのぼる　日の出　日の出 Inside my heart rises the first sunrise, sunrise 本当のあたしデビューなの This girl right here is debuting her true self 今だ見せつけるべし！ね？SHOW-GUTS！ Now’s my moment of glory! Ain’t it? SHOW-GUTS!

こたつこたつこたつじゃ　 Kotatsu, kotatsu, just being in my kotatsu いかんいかんいかん This is all wrong, all wrong, all wrong こたつでスマフォ片手じゃ　 Just in my kotatsu, with cell phone in hand いかんいかんいかん This is all wrong, all wrong, all wrong こたつこたつパソコン　 Kotatsu, kotatsu, laptop いかんいかんいかん This is all wrong, all wrong, all wrong こたつテレビパソコン Kotatsu, TV, laptop いかんいかんいかん This is all wrong, all wrong, all wrong

ああああああああああ AAAAAAAAA こたつ抜けて服着て　to the 神の前 I slip out of my kotatsu, get dressed, and go to stand before the Gods 遠路電車乗り継ぎ　to the 神の前 Swapping train lines back and forth on my long journey to go stand before the Gods どうだ！俺は生まれ変わった　どやさどやさどやさ How do you like me now! I’ve been reborn! Smirky, smirky, smirk そうさ！これで万事解決！　to the 神の前 How’s that for a happy ending! All’s swell! Now I go to stand before the Gods

脳内　語りかけるは In my head They talk to me (万物の神　マイティーゴッド) (The creation Gods, the mighty God) カジュアル　ストリート風 Casually, like streetpunk style 今風の神だ What a hip God

さぁ　さぁ　神の御前だ You’re in the presence of the Gods 何を　お願いしよう　参れ　参れ What ever should I pray to them for, it's shrine visit time, shrine visit time 「No No　それじゃ届かない “No no, they won’t lend an ear if you pray like that まずは　礼儀作法の　嗜みを　そんで First you gotta learn proper etiquette もっと　普段の暮らし This is something you can practice even- そこで　出来ることから　改善　改善 -throughout your day to day life, so pull it together, pull it together 一回帰れ　出直せ」 Leave, and come back when you're ready” なぜに　厳しすぎるぜ　Oh MY GOD！ What the hell, this is way too strict

THIS IS JAPANESE HOW TO PRAY THIS IS JAPANESE HOW TO PRAY

目覚めたこたつの中で I woke up snug in my kotatsu (部屋着　出掛けた跡もない) (Still in my pajamas, no sign that I ever left) 初夢　夢オチなんて My first dream of the year, I can’t believe it was all a dream (なんてオメでたい) (How happy go lucky) 今年の年越しのそば Eating toshikoshi soba (歯ごたえぱない　コシぱない) (My teeth dig right into it, its so chewy) 寝正月　今日の自分よ Spending the holidays in bed, that’s me alright 変わる時が来た A chance to change..

さぁ　さぁ　表へ走れ Come now, come now, dash outside the house 怠惰　掻き分けて　そら　参れ　参れ Blast past my lazy feelings, 'tis shrine visit time, shrine visit time さぁ　さぁ　サーフ　初詣 Come now, come now, surf on: Hatsumoude 人の波を乗り越え　神頼み(陽！) Surf over the sea of people, make a prayer to God (Yo!) 尊い　踏み出す一歩 With good vibes, I take the first step 胸に　初めてのぼる　日の出　日の出 Inside my heart rises the first sunrise, sunrise 本当のあたしデビューなの This girl right here is debuting her true self 今だ見せつけるべし！ね？SHOW-GUTS！ Now’s my moment of glory! Ain’t it? SHOW-GUTS!

Footnotes:

● Kotatsu and oranges: https://www.giantbomb.com/kotatsu/3055-2702/ . They’re so cozy you never want to leave... Turn the TV on and melt..

● Toshikoshi soba: new year's noodles. They're traditionally eaten because the long shape is metaphorical for living a long fulfilling life in the years to come, not to mention how tasty they are!

● Kagami mochi are two mochi cakes stacked up on each other, with a daitai orange on top! It’s said to be a vessel for the God to come visit your house, spend time with you and bless you. The two mochi represent light and dark, night and day: hence the ‘Light陽’ in the lyrics. 陽 is read ‘Yoh’, similar to the hip word ‘Yo’, so Sekihan used it with double meaning.

They’re called kagami because they’re shaped like old circular mirrors, and like yata no kagami, such mirrors were believed to be vessels for Gods! The daidai(橙) fruit on top is reddish because red is believed to be the color ward off evil, PLUS it’s a strong fruit that stays on the tree throughout the years PLUS it’s even a pun - daidai is close to the word daitai ‘代々‘ meaning ‘years after years’.

● Hatsumoude is the visiting of a shrine at the beginning of the new year, to pray for good luck and draw fortunes. It is typically done the first 3 days of the January, leading to shrines becoming crowded full to the brime: hence the ‘sea of people’ in the lyrics.

● Watching the first sunrise of the year is believed to be good luck, the vivid and blazing beginning! ● Your first dream is believed to be an omen too! It sets the stage. ● Omedetai is actually a word with new years nuances in the first place. It originates from verb めで meaning “praise”, the holidays are a celebration worthy of praise, thus it just evolved into a standard new years greeting. ● The title is a verbal pun: 正月(New years) is pronounced shougatsu, so they took a macho twist on it and turned it into “Show Guts”, pronounced similar. It’s intended hold the spirit of a “Show me your guts, your vigor” type of thing.

● Many people don’t know the proper amount of times to clap or bow their head when praying at Hatsumoude, which is what inspired the lyrics and an easter egg in the music: it’s replicating the “ 2 bows, 2 claps, 1 bow” praying etiquette done at shrines. https://cooljapan-videos.com/en/articles/bxcpxfg0

● Interview(via Meetia) https://meetia.net/interview/omedetashowguts Interviewer(Yamada Soutaro): Tell me about “SHOW-GUTS”. Besides the lyrics being seen in an optimistic light,

Sekihan: Yep. In terms of concept, the message is hidden under the guise of memes but, at its core is the idea that “Nothing will ever change so long as you never try to move forward on your own volition".

Ever since we started this band, I've come to think this a lot lot, and now it's become part of who I am deep down. I'm personally glad I pinpointed this feeling, so now it's my turn to preach it to others. This feeling and aaalll of this type of stuff is going right into our songs.

mao: Then there's "2 bows, 2 claps, 1 bow" in it as well, because we wanted to include that. Well, 324 did.

324: Ever since we made this song I never forget "2 bows, 2 claps, 1 bow" anymore! Every time I prayed I'd need to google it beforehand! I'd be at a loss of what exactly to do.
