BIRTHDAY VLOG: Taichi
Backstage Stories
| ―Hallway― | |
| Taichi | Thanks for filming today, Kazu-kun! |
| Kazunari | No probs! I just hope that I took a good vlog~. |
| Taichi | I'm sure it's all perfect! I think you filmed the insanely cool me just fine thanks to you! |
| Kazunari | Alrighty, all that's left is editing! Should we go with the momentum and do it now? |
| Taichi | Good idea! |
| ―Room 202― | |
| Kazunari | Now then, let's start this right away! |
| Taichi | Let's go~! |
| Kazunari | Got any request for the editing? Like, any concept you want? |
| Taichi | Let's see... We're gonna show this to my fans at my birthday event later, so I want it to be stylish! |
| Kazunari | Okay~! |
| I'm gonna play the recording, so tell me any parts that you wanna use or cut, okay? | |
| Taichi | Got it! |
| "Here's the handicraft store that I often go to as part of being the costume-making assistant!" | |
| "My job is to predict the amount of fabrics we'll need while looking at Yuki-chan's design drawings, and to look for some threads of the right colours..." | |
| "Ah! It's the thread that I bought for stitching before! At the time, I thought about the balance of the colour with the costume, so I went with the number three~." | |
| Taichi | ...... |
| "Next is the Kung-fu dojo that I always go to! I'm gonna start my practice now, so I want you guys to see this~!" | |
| "Here's my special skill! ...Hah! Yah!" | |
| Taichi | ...... |
| Kazunari | How was it? |
| Taichi | ...... |
| Do I look cool in that recording, Kazu-kun...? | |
| Kazunari | Ofc! I think you're plenty cool! |
| Though... something must've been on your mind if you say that, huh? | |
| Taichi | Yeah... It's just that, I felt cool when we were filming earlier, but looking at this again... It's not that it's embarrassing... |
| I don't know, it just doesn't feel like that's ME. | |
| Kazunari | Ahh, I guess it kinda does? |
| How do I say this... It's like you were trying too hard than you usually do. | |
| Taichi | "Trying too hard"...? |
| You're right! So that's why it felt so strange... | |
| Kazunari | ...Speaking of, the theme for the vlog you need to present is "A sight you want to show your fans". |
| Why do you wanna make your vlog like this, Taicchan? | |
| Taichi | That's... I was wondering what I should film, then Mucchan's vlog came into mind, which was about "showing his cool self". |
| Then I thought "I wanna show my fans the cool side of me too". | |
| Kazunari | I see~. So that's why the vlog and your comments had that cool vibe when we filmed earlier. |
| Taichi | I even asked you to do both filming and editing since I thought you'd make my vlog look even more cooler. |
| I was too fixated on showing my cool self that I could only think of making myself look cool the entire time. | |
| But I guess I'm still far from being cool, huh... | |
| Kazunari | That's not true. The feeling of wanting to look cool relates to growth and hard work, so I think that's really important. |
| Still, you don't need to force yourself to do that... | |
| Because I'm sure all your fans already know just how cool you are. | |
| Taichi | Kazu-kun... |
| Kazunari | Anyway! What should we do about the recording? |
| If you wanna do a retake, then I'll gladly be the cameraman again! | |
| Taichi | Kazu-kun...! I'm so moved into tears~! |
| I'll take up on your words then... Let's start our vlog from the beginning again! |
| Taichi | We'll begin our vlog at this handicraft store for today too! |
| Kazunari | Oui! I'm super glad we got the permission to film for the second time~. |
| Taichi | I thought we wouldn't get it, but the store manager kindly permitted us since I always come to the store! |
| Also, I'm really sorry that you had to film again. | |
| Kazunari | Nah bro, I totes don't mind at all! More importantly, let's make it a vlog that you really wanna show to your fans this time, Taicchan! |
| Taichi | Yeah! We gotta make it show the true-to-life of me! |
| Let's do our best once again, Kazu-kun! | |
| Kazunari | OK! The camera's ready now~. |
| 3, 2, 1... and start! | |
| Taichi | Hey there, is everyone watching~? It's me, Taichi Nanao! |
| I hope you'll have fun watching this vlog of mine! | |
| Let's introduce our cameraman first. The one in charge of filming is Kazu-kun from Summer Troupe! | |
| Kazunari | Sup guys, it's Kazunari Miyoshi~! I'm gonna be his personal cameraman for today! |
| Taichi | I'm counting on you! |
| So, the first thing I chose to show is this! The handicraft store~! | |
| Kazunari | Yay~! |
| Taichi | This place is where I, who's also a costume-making assistant, feel indebted to! |
| Kazunari | Why'd you choose this store? |
| Taichi | Because it holds a lot of memories of me being the assistant. |
| I can still remember why I started helping with costume-making too... | |
| Besides, it's really hard to make costumes every time. But the joy of completing each of them is incredibly awesome! | |
| Anyway, let's go shopping right away! I need to buy some of the things that Yuki-chan asked me to for today! | |
| Uhh, double tracing wheel, and more of those braid trims that we usually use... Wait, what's a tracing wheel again?! | |
| ...Hehe, this actually happens quite a lot while I'm shopping. | |
| Kazunari | What do you do at times like this? |
| Taichi | I either search on my phone or ask Yuki-chan! |
| First, I'll look up what a tracing wheel is... Ah, found it! Ohhh, so that's what it looks like! | |
| Next is braid trim... Huh? Which one did he say he's lacking again? For this, we'll send a LIME to ask Yuki-chan! | |
| Phew, we somehow managed to complete our errand safely! | |
| It's kinda embarrassing that I couldn't remember the name of a tool I don't use much... | |
| But yeah, this is what I usually do as the costume-making assistant! | |
| Well then, let's move on to the next place now~. | |
| I've actually never shown this place to my fans not even once, but I want you guys to see it this time, so come follow me! | |
| Kazunari | What's this place, Taicchan? |
| Taichi | This is the Kung-fu dojo that I always visit ever since the play "Fire Up! Mantou Fist" that we performed long time ago! |
| I've been practising recently to learn this new technique, but it's pretty difficult... | |
| That's why I'm sure I'll fail many times for today as well. | |
| But I want all my fans to know the genuine me, so I'll show you guys as it is! | |
| Please take care of me today, Lee-san! | |
| Lee | Will do. |
| Kazunari | GJ, Taicchan~! I think the vlog's coming out just perfect! |
| Taichi | Thanks! By the way, you kept cheering for me while I was practising, right? |
| Kazunari | Ahaha! You were doing your best so hard that I couldn't help and let out my voice! |
| Taichi | Your cheers made me feel really encouraged! |
| ...Would the fans be happy with this vlog of mine? | |
| Kazunari | I'm sure they would, since it's the best video ever with plenty of your charms! |
| Taichi | That's good to know! I wanna hurry up and show it to my fans~! |
| ―Backroom― | |
| Taichi | Ta-dah~! How do I look today? |
| Muku | Wow, you look really cool! |
| Homare | Hm, that looks very nice on you. |
| Kazunari | You're hella fine, dude! Gotta snap tons of pic~. |
| Taichi | Let's do our best for today, guys! |
| Muku | Yeah! |
| Kazunari | I gotchu buddy! We'll liven up your b-day event as much as we can! |
| Homare | I, too, have composed a poem of blessings for you. Do tell me whenever you need it. |
| Izumi | Is everyone ready? It's almost time to start. |
| Taichi | I'm always ready! |
| Izumi | Don't forget to take your photo at the end, okay? |
| Taichi | Got it! |
| (It's finally the time... I'm super nervous, but kinda excited too!) | |
| ―Stage― | |
| Kazunari | Well then, since we've finished with our greetings... |
| Homare | It is time to call our main character for today to come out. |
| Muku | Everyone, please give a warm round of applause! |
| *clap clap* | |
| Taichi | Thanks for coming today, everyone~! Taichi Nanao has finally arrived! |
| Fan A | Taichi-kun, happy bday! |
| Fan B | Happy birthday, Taichi-kun! |
| Fan C | Happy bday~! |
| Muku | Everyone wants to say congratulations, huh. |
| Homare | In that case, we wil give you all a signal, so try to say it once again at the same time. |
| Kazunari | Ready guys? 3, 2, 1, go! |
| Fans | Happy birthday to you, Taichi-kun~! |
| Taichi | Woahhh, I'm super happy! Thanks everyone~! |
| Kazunari | Well then, let's go with the flow and get started with the first segment! |
| *clap clap* | |
| Taichi | First is the "Vlog Viewing Party" segment! |
| The vlog is filmed with the theme of "A sight I want to show my fans", so that's what we'll be watching! | |
| The one in charge of filming and editing is Kazu-kun~. | |
| Kazunari | It's full of Taicchan's charms, so please enjoy it~! |
| Muku | I'm really excited since I haven't seen it yet. |
| Homare | I am filled with expectations to see what kind of charm is packed in this vlog. |
| Taichi | Without further ado, let's start the video! |
| "Hey there, is everyone watching~? It's me, Taichi Nanao!" | |
| Muku | Is that... a handicraft store? |
| Taichi | Correctamundo! |
| Homare | Hm, it is interesting that Taichi-kun chooses this place as the "the sight he wants to show his fans". |
| Taichi | "Uhh, double tracing wheel, and more of those braid trims that we usually use... Wait, what's a tracing wheel again?!" |
| Fan D | Seeing him being flustered is so cute! |
| Fan A | Do your best~! |
| Taichi | "Phew, we somehow managed to complete our errand safely!" |
| "Well then, let's move on to the next place now~." | |
| "I've actually never shown this place to my fans not even once, but I want you guys to see it this time, so come follow me!" | |
| Fan B | Eh! Not even once?! |
| Fan C | Where is it~? |
| Homare | Oh my, this place is... |
| Taichi | "This is the Kung-fu dojo that I always visit ever since the play "Fire Up! Mantou Fist" that we performed long time ago!" |
| Fan D | Eh, we can see Taichi-kun do Kung-fu?! |
| Fan E | I'm so happy! |
| Taichi | "Ahh, I failed again~!" |
| Kazunari | "You almost got it just now~." |
| Lee | "Would you like to end here for today?" |
| Taichi | "No, let me do it one more time please!" |
| Fan A | He's really working hard! |
| Muku | I didn't know he challenged this so many times... |
| Lee | "Well then, let us start from the beginning once more." |
| Taichi | "Yes, sir! ...HOH! YAH!" |
| Kazunari | "That's good, keep it up!" |
| Homare | You were almost there, Taichi-kun! |
| Fan B | Do your best~! |
| Fan C | So close! |
| Taichi | "Hahh, I almost got it though~. Like I thought, it's really hard..." |
| Lee | "It's already this late, so the next one will be the last for today." |
| Taichi | "I understand. I'll do my best till I can learn it!" |
| Lee | "Now then, BEGIN!" |
| Taichi | "Hah! Yah!" |
| Kazunari | "Goooo~!" |
| Taichi | "Ora! Fuh! ...YAHHH!!" |
| "...I-, I-, I did it~!" | |
| Kazunari | "Oohh~! 'Grats, Taicchan!" |
| Fan D | Congrats! |
| Fan E | Yay~! |
| Muku | Wahh, that was amazing! |
| Lee | "You've done really well for practising this technique." |
| Taichi | "It's all thanks to you, Lee-san! Thank you very much for today!" |
| "I-I did it~..." | |
| Kazunari | "GJ, Taicchan! How do you feel right now?" |
| Taichi | "Suuuper happy!" |
| *clap clap* | |
| That's all from my vlog. Thanks for watching, everyone! | |
| ...Actually, I had to re-film everything 'cause I didn't like the first take. | |
| Homare | Is that so? |
| Taichi | I planned to only show the cool parts of me at first, but then it didn't feel like myself at all. It felt so out of place... |
| It was Kazu-kun who noticed why the vlog seemed like that. | |
| That's why I decided to let you all see the current genuine me that doesn't try to look cool! | |
| I felt a bit embarrassed that I looked bad at some parts, but I want those who always support me to know this side of me too. | |
| Muku | Taichi-kun... |
| Taichi | From now on, to make you guys think that even the genuine Taichi Nanao seem cool... |
| And to make you all feel glad for supporting me, I'm going to learn even more of all sorts of things and master everything! | |
| That's why, I'd be happy if you guys continue to support me! | |
| *clap clap* | |
| Fan C | I'll always support you~! |
| Fan D | I love you~! |
| Kazunari | Taicchan who did his best is so cool! Y'all think the same thing, right? |
| Fans | We do~! |
| Taichi | Eh? |
| Homare | Hm, it was quite admirable to see the sight of you that keeps challenging without giving up for the sake of learning the technique just now. |
| Muku | That's right. You were really cool, Taichi-kun! |
| Fan D | So cool~! |
| Taichi | Everyone...! Thank you~! |
| Muku | Oh, seems like it's almost time to end... |
| Taichi | Already?! So quick~! |
| Homare | Time do flies very quickly when you're having fun. |
| Kazunari | Oh yeah, we gotta take a pic at the end! Who's gonna be the cameraman? |
| Taichi | I want Kazu-kun, the one who did all the vlogging to be it! |
| Kazunari | Okie~! |
| Here we go~. Make a heart, please! | |
| Taichi | S-sure! |
| Kazunari | Say 'cheese'~! |
| *snap* | |
| Homare | Hm, is it alright to not say 'cheese', Taichi-kun? |
| Taichi | AH! |
| Homare | I recommend you say 'Gorgonzola' instead. |
| Taichi | I-I'm fine even without all that! |
| Muku | Fufu, he's really flustered. |
| Kazunari | I'll take a pic of this Taicchan too! |
| Taichi | EHH?! |
| *snap* |
