[Studio]

Tsukasa: Everyone! Relaxing is all well and good, but the S1 is just up ahead…

Should we not be discussing the “Star Light Festival”?

Arashi: Tsukasa-chan, you’re so earnest, what a good boy♪ Huh, speaking of which, didn’t we gather here on the weekend to do just that?

Tsukasa: Yes, that is what I had expected.

But I’ve become uneasy, as it seems that clearly no one else wants to do this, since you are all knitting mufflers, lounging underneath the kotatsu and doing your makeup and such.

Izumi: Naru-ku~n. You don’t have anyone to impress today, why are you putting on makeup? You’ll end up damaging your skin instead.

If you’re moisturizing, do it at home.

Arashi: I tell you this all the time, going without makeup is like leaving the house without clothes on…

It’s snowing, so it’s extra cold today, it feels like my fingertips are going to crack.

Ritsu: Suu-chan, go make some tea. I’m a black tea person, but it feels weird to have black tea and cookies at the kotatsu, so green tea, okay?

Tsukasa: As I said, stop relaxing the instant you have a chance.

Leader, you tell him something too. You are the ruler of Knights, so take some control around here.

Leo: Whaaat.... Fine, wait a sec. I’m colder than I thought, I can’t move until I get my body warmth back.

Ahh, the kotatsu feels so nice I’m gonna fall asleep…



Tsukasa: Are you a little child? The kotatsu is an evil tool that ruins humans, please do not get in until we have finished our business.

Boys, seek the wilderness, a great person once said long ago. [1]

Leo: I don’t know ‘em. Stop it Suo~, don’t try to pull me ooout, I’ve finally arrived at my utopia…

I will live in peace here and marry the kotatsu.

Ritsu: No~ the kotatsu is my bride...♪

Izumi: Honestly. Kasa-kun’s gonna start tearing up soon…

Let’s just do what we have to do. After that you can laze around as much as you want, okay?

Switch from “off” to “on” already, that’s what Knights does, right?

Leo: Ugh… When did Sena become so serious… No, you’ve always been like that…

Anyway, I was planning to be completely “off” today, though?

But I got called over so suddenly~ it’s honestly a bother.

Tsukasa: There will be no off days for you. Work to make up for all the time you missed.

Those who do not work do not eat. Shall I retell the story of The Ant and The Grasshopper to you? [2]

Leo: Keito’s lecture habit is rubbing off on you, you’re gonna get old faster… Well whatever, if my crime is being gone, I have nothing to say for it.

Well, let’s do what we have to do. With splendor, as we always do.

First is that, Star… what was it? Let’s get that thing with the weirdly exaggerated name out of the way, I wanna spend a relaxing New Year’s.

Arashi: Right, this year’s business should stay in this year.

Speaking of, “Starlight Festival” is a bit long, so it seems like it’s common to call it “StarFes” for short.

Leo: StarFes… Right, isn’t is right on Christmas Day?

Just from the name, it’s like a happy event where everyone’s vying for the star on the top of a Christmas tree! Wahaha☆

Tsukasa: Ah, you’ve unexpectedly hit the bullseye.

Almost all units in this school will participate. It is a central event that decides this year’s Number 1 unit in all of Yumenosaki Academy.

Leo: So it’s like a war, huh. Alright, that’s a plan that suits us.

So whoever can gather up all the guys in front of them, knock them down and remain the last one standing is the winner, right?

If that’s the case, then we Knights are unrivaled.♪

Izumi: Why are you so violent? It’s not like we’re gonna be killing each other…

We idols will be like Santa on Christmas Eve and give out the greatest presents to our audience.

Don’t go wild. Right now, we have our own position, and we have more fans cheering us on.

We’re not always gonna be a group of lawless hooligans, alright?

Leo: It’s still the same thing, we’re just beating each other up with songs and dance.

You’ll die if you come at this like it’s a regular festival, idol activities are kill or be killed. Grrrr…

Izumi: You’re so savage, times are different now.

If you let down your guard, it’ll be trouble. Lately every unit at Yumenosaki has been growing more and more lively.

You have to make sure you don’t slack off and end up with your throat slit while you’re sleeping, you know?

Tsukasa: Yes. We Knights have been lauded as being restored to our former glory and have been making steady advances since then, but that is not a solid position right now.

Let us take care in our planning, and face this in our most perfect condition.

Leo: That’s what I intended from the beginning. Let me take care of the new song for StarFes, I’m gonna make a wickedly good masterpiece now.

Let’s kick away all those wooden soldiers, humming all the while!

And we’ll get our hands on the star on the top of the Christmas tree! I’ve always wanted it, wahahaha☆

[1] I literally cannot find who said this quote, not sure if Akira made it up or if I'm missing something. (for reference, the quote is 少年よ荒野を目指せ, which means smth like, boys, choose the rougher path in life)

[2] The Ant and the Grasshopper is a story from Aesop's Fables. Apparently the ant collected food during the warm season while the grasshopper just sang all day, and when winter rolled around and the grasshopper wanted some of the ant's food, the ant refused. Thus, those who do not work do not eat.
