| Akira: | Anyways... |
| Producer: | Hm? |
| Akira: | I didn't think you would be able to understand that much just by hearing me sing. |
| Producer: | So you really... |
 | |
| Akira: | That's right. I'm not singing seriously...or rather, I don't know how to sing with my heart.... |
| Akira: | It was like that when I was a model, too. I had the talent to use my good looks and become famous. |
| Akira: | However, the other models said that I was like a "doll." |
| Akira: | They said that I didn't have any emotion, and that my smile always looked the same, like it was a mask... |
| Producer: | No way...That's terrible! They probably said that out of prejudi-- |
 | |
| Akira: | It's probably so. But I think that of myself, too. |
| Akira: | It's true that when I was a model, I did it with half-assed feelings. I had the talent, but I didn't know how to express myself... |
| Akira: | After I graduated high school, I started working as a professional model, but everyone was older than me. |
| Akira: | I just simply smiled, but I didn't think it would turn out like this. |
| Akira: | I want to change myself. I don't want to be called a "doll" anymore... |
| Akira: | I came here to change these things. |
 | |
| Akira: | When I met Seiya and Kanata, I thought that they were so radiant. I wanted to be like them. |
| Akira: | Seiya and Kanata say that they want to be like me, but it's the opposite; I'm the one that wants to be like them. |
| Akira: | Ever since I met those two, I wanted to aim higher with them. |
| Akira: | Producer...I admit what you pointed out. |
 | |
| Akira: | That's why, I beg of you. Won't you help me become appropriate for Seiya and Kanata? |
| Producer: | ...You don't need to ask me such an obvious thing. |
| Producer: | And also...I don't think I'm the only one that can help you, you know? |
| *rustling* | |
| Akira: | Eh? |
 | |
| Seiya: | That's not fair, Akira! |
| Kanata: | Akira-kun, I'm sorry. I ended up overhearing with Seiya and Rabirabi... |
| Akira: | Wha-!? Since when...! |
| Producer: | It's okay. It seems they started listening from when you said "I don't know how to sing with my heart." |
| Producer: | (So they didn't see that other side of him...) |
| Akira: | I see...Then, I'm glad. I don't want to show them that ugly side of me... |
| Seiya: | What are you talking about? |
| Akira: | No, it's nothing. |
| Kanata: | It's not nothing! Akira-kun! |
 | |
| Akira: | Kanata....? |
| Kanata: | I was anxious in the business world too, when I first met you two. |
| Kanata: | But, thanks to meeting with you two, now I feel that we can aim higher together. |
| Kanata: | That's why, from now on, you have to share with us both sad and happy things! |
 | |
| Kanata: | If we're together, we can overcome any wall with a hop! |
| Akira: | ! |
| Seiya: | Kanata is right, Akira. |
| Akira: | Seiya? |
| Seiya: | First of all, you have to share your troubles with us, your friends! Well, I can understand that the producer is more reliable than us. |
| Seiya: | You say that we are radiant, but we will shine even more thanks to you! |
| Akira: | What do you mean by that? |
| Seiya: | It's in our names! |
 | |
| Seiya: | My name (星夜) and yours (晃) both have the radical for "sun" (日) [1] |
| Seiya: | That's pretty enough, but there's even more! |
| Seiya: | With me and you together, the light(光) will be born!(生)
And with Kanata(奏), we will play a lot of melodies![2] |
| Seiya: | See! Even our names are the best! |
| Akira: | Seiya...People like you are... |
| Akira: | Pff....h...haha! |
 | |
| Seiya: | Wh-why are you laughing like that? |
| Kanata: | You're incredible, Seiya... |
| Producer: | Yes. People don't usually think like that. But it's really great! |
| Producer: | Because you three are together, you can certainly aim higher! |
| Seiya: | Yeah! Since you think of us like that, we will one day reach the top! |
| Seiya: | And we also deepened our friendship, Akira! |
| Seiya: | A hug to seal our friendship! This time, just accept it honestly! |
| *hugs* | |
| Akira: | Well, this time it can't be helped... |
 | |
| Kanata: | Me too! *hugs* |
| Akira: | You two...Thank you! |
| Akira: | ....... |
| Producer: | (Hm? He's looking over here...He's moving his lips to say something---) |
| Thank you. | |
| Producer: | (! Ahaha! I'm glad for you!) |
 | |
| Kokoro: | What's up with them...I lost my worry. In the end they solved it by themselves. |
| Kokoro: | Friends, huh...That's nice... |
| Kokoro: | Huh! What the hell am I saying...! I-I just got influenced by them for a moment! |
| Kokoro: | Hmph!...You guys better give it your best! |
Notes[]
- ↑ A radical is a part that composes a kanji. In this case you can see that both the 星 from Seiya and 晃 from Akira have that radical in the upper part
- ↑ Here Seiya uses two other radicals. The first 光 (That means "light") is from Akira's name while the radical 生(that when put as a verb 生まれる means "to be born") is from Seiya's name. While the kanji for Kanata's name (奏) when made as a verb means "to play an instrument" (or a melody) Pretty artistic don't you think?
