Part 1: Yuki’s Research

Yuki
Maneko-chan, good work today

Yuki
Could we chat a bit?

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, good work today.

Tsumugi
I have some time. Although I’m a bit suprised you want to chat with me...!

Yuki
Speaking of which,¹ summer is almost here

Tsumugi


Tsumugi
It’s about to start all of a sudden, isn’t it!? I mean, hasn’t spring only just arrived?

Yuki
That’s why I wanted to chat. It’s something small, so don’t worry about it.

Tsumugi
Y-Yes!

Yuki
Maneko-chan, is there something you want to do in summer, or something you want?

Tsumugi
Something I want?

Yuki
Yeah

Yuki
From a girl’s point of view

Tsumugi
As a girl?

Yuki
Mhmm. I was scolded by Momo to learn about girls’ hearts

Tsumugi
For Momo-san to scold you, that’s quite rare...!

Yuki
Okay maybe scolding was a bit of an exaggeration

Yuki
It’s because next time, Re:vale and TRIGGER are having a date showdown

Tsumugi
By next time, do you mean the next “NEXT Re:vale” project? Momo-san told me that you two were calling in TRIGGER as guests and having a summer date showdown

Tsumugi
I was contacted to get a girl’s opinion on a date showdown.

Yuki
Momo’s raring to beat TRIGGER

Yuki
But I don’t really care about winning or losing

Tsumugi
But you contacted me to ask about girls’ feelings!

Tsumugi
You’re trying hard for Momo’s sake, how kind of you...!²

Yuki
Really?

Tsumugi
Yes. I think it’s really wonderful!

Tsumugi
When it comes to girls’ hearts, aren’t they moved by consideration for your/their³ companion?

Tsumugi
Putting in effort for someone else’s sake shows you have a soft side.⁴

Yuki
That kind of thing?

Yuki
Guess I really don’t understand women’s hearts⁵

Tsumugi
Sorry for saying something so confusing.. haha

Yuki
It’s fine. I did ask after all

Yuki
Among women, I think you’re the easiest to understand

Tsumugi
Huh?! Really...!?

Yuki
Yeah

Tsumugi

¹ I can never translate this phrase and it will bother me for the rest of my life ^[↑]
2 This kinda sounds like she’s being sarcastic but she isn’t i swear ^[↑]
3 I can’t tell whether the “partner” here refers to like Yuki’s compassion for Momo (saying that girls would like that Yuki cares about Momo) or a woman’s compassion for their own companion (Tsumugi is telling him something separate relating to women’s hearts) but based on Re:vale’s general level of insufferability I would say it’s the former lolololo ^[↑]
4 Original kinda says more something like “makes you vulnerable” or “makes you weak” but I think it means something more like this. Altho idk i dont really get relationships ^[↑]
5 All this talk about people’s hearts really makes it feel like a Kingdom Hearts dialogue LMFAOOO next thing you know Yuki’s gonna tell me about the Door to Darkness and Organization XIII ^[↑]

Part 2: Under the Parasol

Tsumugi
Yuki-san! Good work today! I heard that IDOLiSH7 received a gift from you the other day when you were at the same place.

Tsumugi
All the members really enjoyed the curry catering! Thank you for always worrying about us!

Yuki
Good work today. I’m glad they enjoyed it

Yuki
I’m also grateful too. Since I asked you about women’s hearts

Tsumugi
You mean when we chatted on Rabbitchat? Although I’m not sure my answer was of any help...! lol

Yuki
That’s why it’s called chatting⁶

Tsumugi

Yuki
Right now, we’re in the middle of filming the date showdown. We’re with TRIGGER at the beach

Yuki
At a private beach

Tsumugi
Sorry for bothering you in the middle of work! I’ll contact you again later.

Yuki
I’d rather chat with you

Yuki
We’re waiting for them to check the filming, so I won’t be called on for a while. Everyone’s started playing beach volleyball

Tsumugi
Beach volleyball, sounds fun!

Tsumugi
Are the pairs decided?

Yuki
Gaku-kun and Tenn-kun VS Momo and Ryuunosuke-kun

Tsumugi
Huh? Are you not playing?

Yuki
I’m the referee. I’m watching from under the parasol

Tsumugi
It’s not properly summer yet, but the sunlight is already an idol’s worst enemy, isn’t it ><

Yuki
Everyone else is too busy with volleyball to care

Yuki
Only Tenn-kun is completely covered. Wearing a long-sleeved parka with a hood and gloves and sunglasses

Tsumugi
Playing beach vollyball with sunglasses, seems kind of like a disadvantage...!

Tsumugi
But it’s perfect for sunburn protection! I should learn from him ><

Yuki
Even though they’re playing around, everyone’s serious about winning or losing

Yuki
They’re all energetic under the sun

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, you seem like a dad who watches over his kids playing in the pool on a holiday lol

Yuki
It’s because I’m an indoors guy

Yuki
I’ll leave the dad role to Okarin

Tsumugi
Okazaki-san, you’ll be surprised to find out how many kids you have...! lol

Yuki
A

Tsumugi
Yuki-san?

Tsumugi
What’s wrong?

Tsumugi
Yuki-san!?

Tsumugi

Yuki
I was scolded by Momo and Tenn-kun

Tsumugi
Huh!?

Yuki
Ryuunosuke-kun got a point in and I didn’t see it at all

Yuki
I mean, I don’t know how many points each team has anyway. I wasn’t watching the match while I was Rabbitchatting

Tsumugi
Ahhh! I’m so sorry >< You mentioned you were a referee, didn’t you...!

Yuki
It’s fine. They reset the points back to 0 - 0

Tsumugi
I still feel bad about it.. haha

What are Kujou-san and Yaotome-san like as a team?

Tsumugi
What are Kujou-san and Yaotome-san like as a team?

Yuki
They react without even looking at each other, the solidarity is amazing. But the sunglasses are definitely a disadvantage

The Athletic Club team Tsunashi-san and Momo-san, they seem like they’d be strong...!

Tsumugi
The Athletic Club team Tsunashi-san and Momo-san, they seem like they’d be strong...!

Yuki
The two of them have insane reflaxes. They should appear on one of those really muscley-type surival atheltics programs.

You won’t play beach volleyball with them?

Tsumugi
You won’t play beach volleyball with them?

Yuki
Do you think I should play?

Yuki
Oh?

Yuki
Gaku just fell over⁷

Tsumugi
Huh?!

Tsumugi
Yaotome-san, is he alright...?!

Yuki
He’s alright, it was on the sand and he laughed as if it was fun

Yuki
I’ll go check it out just in case

Tsumugi

⁶ The word they use means like casual talking, basically Yuki is reasurring Tsumugi saying it’s nbd ^[↑]
7 The verb used actually means “flipped over.” It’s quite funny to imagine Gaku flipping like a fish or a pancake LOLOL ^[↑]

---

Part 3: Watching Over the Group

Yuki
Hey, Maneko-chan. Thanks for keeping me company before.

Yuki
I sent you a picture, you can look at it later

Tsumugi
I just saw it! It’s a picture of a crab walking on a beach! Its little claws are so cute and soothing!⁸

Tsumugi
Why did you send me a picture of a crab all of a sudden? It’s a bit unsual haha

Yuki
It’s the crab Gaku-kun risked his life to save

Tsumugi
Risked his life!?

Yuki
Remember how I said Gaku-kun tripped while playing beach volleyball?

Tsumugi
You did say that earlier.

Tsumugi
Could it be.... He lost his balance while avoiding the crab...?

Yuki
You’re pretty sharp. That’s correct

Tsumugi
So that’s how it was. Good thing he helped the crab!

Yuki
Gaku-kun reflexes are incredible⁹

Yuki
Even though it was in the spur of the moment, the way he fell was so splendid

Tsumugi
Splendid...!?¹⁰

Yuki
If you told me he was choreographing a dance, I’d believe you

Yuki
He was graceful like a ballet dancer

Tsumugi
Because he’s an idol, anything he’d do would probably seem like dancing!

Yuki
I’m an idol too, but I’m not confident I could fall down gracefully

Yuki
Momo said he’d catch me in a bridal carry¹¹

Tsumugi
Feels like no matter how far away he is from you, Momo-san would come running to save you!

Yuki
I too, if Momo fell I would catch him

Yuki
And if we both were to fall over, I wouldn’t mind becoming Momo’s cushion

Tsumugi
Momo-san would be upset if he sat on you..!¹²

Yuki
It’s fine, he’ll just laugh that I’ve become his cushion

Yuki
Because Momo’s my partner

Tsumugi
Yuki-san....

Yuki
I wouldn’t mind if he thought of me as slippers, much less a cushion

Tsumugi
Won’t slippers be even more of a hurdle...!?

Tsumugi
You’re an amicable partner, but being trampled under foot is a little... ><¹³

Yuki
Is that so?

Yuki
That crab wasn’t Gaku-kun’s partner, and he didn’t want it to be his slipper

Tsumugi
I think for the crab, its just grateful that Yaotome-san helped him out lol

Tsumugi
Maybe someday it’ll return the favor?

Yuki
That would be nice. It’d be like Tsuru no Ongaeshi¹⁴

Yuki-san, what kind of return favor would you like?

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, what kind of return favor would you like [from the crab]?

Yuki
Like the Elves and the Shoemaker, I’d like it to use its claws to cut my bangs while I’m sleeping. Because it grows so fast, it’s really annoying.

If you were to do a return favor for someone, what would it be?

Tsumugi
If you were to do a return favor for someone, what would it be?

Yuki
I’d write them a song.¹⁵ It’s the best way to convey your feelings.

There are people who live with crabs!

Tsumugi
There are people who live with crabs!

Yuki
With crabs? Maybe it would be nice to have someone in my life

Yuki
Even though they were in the middle of playing volleyball, everyone’s now completely obsessed with the crab

Yuki
If you look hard enough, it seems like you can even find them everyone in the sand and on the rocks

Tsumugi
There’s really that many?

Yuki
There’s a lot of things in the shallows, like starfish and wakame and other creatures

Tsumugi
Is that so!

Yuki
Everyone’s touching it with their bare hands. They’re wild

Tsumugi
Amazing! That’s the feeling of guys playing! lol

Yuki
Like elementary school boys

Tsumugi
Imagining everyone gathered playing with the sea creatures, I think it’s quite cute haha

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, you’re not going to join them?

Yuki
I’m an indoors kind of guy. I’m watching over the outdoors group from underneath the parasol

Yuki
Momo put the crab in the palm of his hand, he’s looking at me with a huge smile

Yuki
TRIGGER is also looking at me

Tsumugi
Everyone wants you to join them! So you can all play together!

Yuki
I decline. If I come out from under the parasol I’ll be roasted by the sun into a sun-dried fish.

Tsumugi
So you’re not going to join them...?

Yuki
Nope.

Tsumugi
Really?

Yuki
Really.


⁸ I guess she means like how when you look at a cute animal, it soothes your soul. Even though I think crabs are cute, I can’t imagine how their little claws would soothe me LOLOL ^[↑]
9 The word used is like. explosiveness. but i guess Yuki means that he was able to react quickly, so maybe something more like reaction time or sth ^[↑]
10 Yuki pls stop stressing out Gaku’s crush LFJDFSKLJHGFNJSKD ^[↑]
11 Can’t stand re:vale ^[↑]
12 Do you know how much fucking GRIEF this line gave me. The first part of this sentence is “千さんをお尻に敷いてしまったら” AND THAT VERB. 敷く. can mean “to sit on.” but you know whats the no.1 def on jisho. when you look up the verb. thats right. TO SPREAD. so this part, with no context, could mean “spread his ass on yuki” or “spread yuki’s ass” or “make yuki spread his ass” HWNE I TELL YOU I WAS IN SHIOCK. five fucking stages of grief i had to lie down for a bit i hate re:vale (altho lowkey this was tsumugi’s fault this time lolol) ^[↑]
13 I can’t tell if Momo or Yuki is the amicable partner in question (or maybe she’s referring to both?) ^[↑]
14 This is the Japanese folk tale about a crane who was saved by a man, and it returns as a woman and marries him. It’s the story the song 四季折の羽 is about! Here’s the Wikipedia page for it (the folktale, not the song) ^[↑]
15 Or songs, plural. because you know. *gestures at re:vale* ^[↑]

Part 4: Let’s See it Through

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, good work today!

Tsumugi
Continuing from the crab before, thank you for the pictures of wakame!

Yuki
Hey, Maneko-chan.

Yuki
You saw this pictures I sent you.

Tsumugi
Yes! The wakame swaying in the evening ocean is mysteriously wonderful! haha

Yuki
I took a good photo of myself¹⁶

Tsumugi


Tsumugi
You look tired, but you’re still filming now? Momo-san just told me.¹⁷

Yuki
Yup. The evening is filming a matsuri date

Yuki
We’re filming on a matsuri set with food stalls near the beach

Tsumugi
Matsuri, how nice.... The food at food stalls are really tasty.

Yuki
What kind of food stalls do you like?

Tsumugi
There are so many I could go on forever¹⁸.. but I like cotton candy!

Yuki
Ahh, cotton candy... There’s some here too

Yuki
There’s also yakisoba, target shooting, ring-toss, and lots of other stuff

Tsumugi


Tsumugi
It’s just like a real matsuri!

It has the thrill of summer, doesn’t it?

Tsumugi
It has the thrill of summer, doesn’t it?

Yuki
It’s nice that it’s lively. It’d be even better if there were no bugs

Do you have any memories of matsuri?

Tsumugi
Do you have any memories of matsuri?

Yuki
It was from my apartment, but I watched summer festival fireworks and had drinks with Momo. It was really emotional because we had just begun getting more idol work and moved out of our small apartment.

Do you have anything you’d like to do on a matsuri date?

Tsumugi
Do you have anything you’d like to do on a matsuri date?

Yuki
Maybe goldfish scooping. I need some tips

Tsumugi
Oh right, I forgot because everyone was getting along well while filming, but what about the date showdown with TRIGGER?

Tsumugi
Who’s winning?

Yuki
Watch it when it airs to find out

Yuki
Afterwards, we’ll have guests come in and watch the VTR in the studio, then vote to determine the winner

Tsumugi
Evenn though it’s a variety show, it’s a really heart-pounding competition...!

Yuki
Who do you think will win, Maneko-chan?

Tsumugi
Huh?!

Tsumugi
I don’t know, Re:vale and TRIGGER are both wonderful ><

Yuki
You didn’t immediately pick Re:vale

Tsumugi


Tsumugi
Re:vale will win!

Yuki
But I made you pick it lol

Tsumugi
I-I’m sorry, it was really difficult to choose...

Tsumugi

Yuki
I’m just kidding

Yuki
Let’s see it through.

Yuki
Someday you’ll be able to answer immediately


¹⁶ I can’t tell if he’s saying “I took a good photo of myself” or “I took a good picture [referring to the wakame]” and the next dialogue doesnt really help ^[↑]
17 The phrase used is 目が落ちて来る which means “eyes are falling” and its . not a collocation in jisho? and no one else ive asked knows what this means too, so if you have an actual idea, then let me know pls HJFDSHFJKS so ill translate it as “you look tired.” presumably, this means that yuki sent a pic of himself to tsumugi and she’s saying he looks tired. but if he was talking about the wakame pic before, then she could just be saying “its late and I’m getting sleepy, are you guys still filming?” either way, yuki is eepy and neebies to sleebies ^[↑]
18 Literally “there are so many I get lost” ^[↑]

Part 5: Summer Date Showdown

Tsumugi
Yuki-san, good work today.

Tsumugi
The Summer Date Showdown broadcasted! All the female staff gathered and watched it at the office!

Yuki
Good work today.

Tsumugi
It was really great, we enjoyed all the various date situations...! There were so many sappy parts I thought my heart would explode!¹⁹

Yuki
Good, I’m glad

Yuki
The showdown resulted in a draw, it’s kind of frustrating. But if you think that, then it was a success

Tsumugi
My vote was split between the beach date and the matsuri date...! I think Re:vale won at the matsuri date ><

Yuki
But we lost the beach date to TRIGGER

Yuki
Well, fans also change their minds

Yuki
The three of them did surfing. It wasn’t fair that they got to get their hair wet and comb it out [on camera]

Tsumugi
The scene of the evening waves...!

Tsumugi
When we saw that scene, we all screamed in front of the TV... lol

Yuki
When I watched it with Momo on VTR my heart also skipped a beat

Yuki
I almost voted for them

Tsumugi

Yuki-san’s date was also wonderful!

Tsumugi
Yuki-san’s date was also wonderful!

Yuki
Did you vote for us?

Which beach date did you think was the best?

Tsumugi
Which beach date did you think was the best?

Yuki
Tenn-kun’s café date was nice. The silence didn’t seem to bother him.

Besides the beach and matsuri, are there any other summer dates you’d like have?

Tsumugi
Besides the beach and matsuri, are there any other summer dates you’d like have?

Yuki
At my home
Is that an NG answer?

Yuki
Regardless of whether we win or lose, I’m glad you enjoyed it

Tsumugi
Yes! All the dates were so great I was really drawn to both of them...!

Tsumugi
You were serving home-cooked food in a cottage by the seaside. The atmosphere of a leisurely mature date was heart-pounding!

Yuki
You’ve seen me cook before, right?

Tsumugi
I have, but maybe because it was from the point of view of a date, or because it was in a fresh manner...

Tsumugi
Using the camera as the girlfriend, serving food and pouring wine. These little gestures were so flexible, it made my heart skip a beat.²⁰

Tsumugi
I imagine this is the kind of dates grown women would have on their days off lol

Yuki
You’re a charming woman too, so you’ll definitely have dates like this soon

Tsumugi

Yuki
What’s wrong?

Tsumugi
Hearing that from you was kind of surprising...!

Tsumugi
And it’s strange to be called a woman instead of a girl...haha²¹

Yuki
Really? I don’t really get the chance to say it often

Yuki
You’re a splendid woman. You do well at work and you’re very dependable.

Tsumugi
Wow! Thank you so much...!

Tsumugi
To receive this praise from our dai-senpai, it’s a bit embarrassing but I’m really happy...

Tsumugi

Yuki
This response has the feeling of an honest girl

Yuki
I wonder how you’d react to a real date

Tsumugi

Yuki
As expected the response is cute

Tsumugi
M

Tsumugi
My heart’s going to explode...!²²

Yuki
＾＾

Tsumugi

Yuki
Not only summer, but outdoor dates are not fit for idols

Yuki
It’s good to expeirence something like this once in a while

¹⁹ She says something more like “there are so many points that would make a girl’s heart pound, it’s bad for the heart” but like here it is in a way that sounds more natural ^[↑]
20 By “flexible,” Tsumugi probably means that it’s like easygoing and inviting. I know that Koreans use the KR equivalent of this word to mean someone thats easygoing, so I think this is a more slang way of expressing this sort of relaxed feeling. Also, Tsumugi actually uses the word girlfriend (彼女) here ^[↑]
21 This makes her haha sound uncomfortable but she’s really not FDHSJFK she’s just laughing bc she was spooped ^[↑]
22 Same as the TL note from earlier in this Rabbitchat. ^[↑]
