These were released for the 2017-2018 round of birthday messages.
Sakuya Sakuma
Hisoka
Sakuya's birthday...What are you giving him, Sakyo? It's hard because Sakuya's not greedy.
Sakyo Furuichi
It's no use asking me what young people want. If he was of age to drink alcohol it'd have been easy.
Hisoka
But that's not too far away. I'm very interested in what Sakuya would be like drunk...
Sakyo Furuichi
I look forward to the day when I can share a drink with him...Maybe I'll give him a glass in advance.
Sakuya
Thank you both! I'm looking forward to the day I can drink too...! Director, I'm going to work hard again this year to become a magnificent adult like the two of them!
Masumi Usui
Tsumugi Tsukioka
Masumi-kun's birthday, hm. Yuki-chan, have you already decided what present to give him?
Yuki
I can't think of anything that psycho stalker would be happy to receive if it wasn't from the Director.
Tsumugi Tsukioka
How about a curry plant potpourri? It might remind him of the Director...
Yuki
Ahh, I see. In that case, I'll make a potpourri bag that's his sort of colour.
Masumi
I received a cloth bag scented with the smells you like...Shall we sniff it together? It's not just smells. Sound, temperature, taste, our time right now, the scenery...For another year, I'd like to share everything with you.
Tsuzuru Minagi
BANRI.
Tsuzuru's birthday...I guess it'd be a book for a gift? That said, I dunno what sort would be good.
Alice
Banri-kun, if you're after a book, I've got a wonderful one. Make no mistake, Tsuzuru-kun will like it too.
BANRI.
No, no, I've got nothing but bad feelings about that...I'll ask for the sake of it, but what book do you plan to give him?
Alice
Of course, a signed set of my writing. I'd like him to use the concepts in his next script, too ♪
Tsuzuru
I received a popular novel from Banri and a set of his writings from Arisugawa-san. The binding of the the poetry collection is so flashy I can't read it on the way to school...Director, I'll write lots more stories from now on too, so I'd like you to be my first reader.
Chikage Utsuki
△△△
I want to give Chikage a robot cat for his birthday so he can get along better with cats~!
Tasuku Takato
I'd heard Utsuki was bad with cats, but...is that really a present?
△△△
First, it's important to get used to them! If he can get along with a robot cat, he'll definitely become used to them!
Tasuku Takato
If that's the case, a cat stuffed toy with a speaker that meows installed...
Chikage
Misumi and Tasuku seem to be planning something mysterious, but could you gently put a stop to that? ...My birthday this year was a truly noisy day; I've never had anything like it. I wonder if I can have my hopes up next year too?
Itaru Chigasaki
Muku
Itaru-san told me about a game where a character like you appears ♪
Juza Hyodo
Now that you mention it, he's told me before that I resemble a character from a fighting game he plays.
Muku
It might be a different one? It's a really strong, cool character called Sir Tristan!
Juza Hyodo
A knight...Do they clash with swords? It seems like good preparation for sword fights. I might go ask.
Itaru
If it's about games, I'll always welcome you. Of course, even of my birthday. Speaking of which, I've gotten ahold of a game you'd like. A birthday spent leisurely playing games might be nice too. Will you keep me company?
Citron
Misumi Ikaruga
Hisoka
I want to give him triangle-shaped marshmallows, but they're pretty hard to find. Know anything, Itaru?
Itaru Chigasaki
Unfortunately not. I have to find something soon as well...the controller I value most after my life is in danger.
Hisoka
Apparently Tasuku and Omi are putting on a deltoid muscle show at Misumi's request. What if you join in?
Itaru Chigasaki
That's so strange it's hilarious. If I'm going to have to join in on that, I'd rather hand over my controller. My deltoids are NG.
Misumi
I want to see Itaru and Hisoka's deltoids too~! Maybe they'll show me if I ask? Show me yours too while we're at it, Director ♪ Happy triangles are even happier together! It seems like it'll be an unforgettable birthday~!
Tenma Sumeragi
Tsuzuru
Tenma's birthday...That guy's a celeb, so getting him a present is a tough ask.
taichi nanao
How about dagashi or something? He's always peeking in out the front of the shop.
Tsuzuru
Now that you mention it, I have brought him along before...Then, let's all go to a dagashi store together.
taichi nanao
Sounds good! Let's show Ten-chan the commoners' bulk buy!
Tenma
To be able to buy this much with 500 yen - I'm surprised again by dagashi shops. Which candy did you like, Director? ...Still, I'm being taught so many new things by the troupe. I'm looking forwards to seeing what sort of new things are waiting in store for me this coming year, too.
Yuki Rurikawa
Kumon Hyodo
Kazunari Miyoshi
Muku Sakisaka
Banri Settsu
Juza Hyodo
Taichi Nanao
Azami Izumida
Omi Fushimi
Azuma
I'm thinking about what to get Omi for a birthday present, but...what did you get, Kazu?
Kazunari Miyoshi ☆
Shoulder massage vouchers! It's cheesy but super practical, right? I designed fancy vouchers ♪
Azuma
Hehe, just like for Mother's Day. Then I might give him vouchers to sleep together?
Kazunari Miyoshi ☆
Ohh! That's generous of you, Azu! Then leave the design to me ♪
Omi
Thank you both for the stylish vouchers. I'll think about when to use them. And thank you, Director, for the many well wishes. I'll listen to all your whims on your birthday.
Sakyo Furuichi
Citron
It's Sakyo's BD! I want to tell him about a hyper glasses-type device from my country.
Tasuku Takato
As someone who likes gadgets, I'm a bit interested. What sort of capabilities does it have?
Citron
It turns into rocket lenses! When there's an emergency you can go straight to the other person.
Tasuku Takato
Just listening would probably give him a headache...Let's not do that today.
Sakyo
Takato's got Citron in a nelson hold; what's going on? I've aged another year...but I'm glad it's a life where I can aim higher even at this age. You'll keep on watching me, right? Director.
Hisoka Mikage
△△△
It's Hisoka's birthday~! Let's go triangle hunting for Hisoka together!
M.U
No. I'm tired.
△△△
Oh well~! Then you go have a nap with Hisoka in the courtyard.
M.U
I don't mind napping with Hisoka...It can't be helped; I'll accept.
Hisoka
Misumi came and told me to nap with Masumi because it's my birthday...Strange. Does he mean that birthdays are days when you can sleep for as long as you like? If so, you can join us. Will you become my pillow all day today?
Tsumugi Tsukioka
taichi nanao
It's Tsumugi-san's birthday~! I've got to pay him back for always looking over my homework!
Itaru Chigasaki
If we prepared food it'd be junk, huh...What would make him happy.
taichi nanao
Omi-kun's making rolled omelette...Ah, could this be the time to show the results of my hard work!?
Itaru Chigasaki
Like working hard on your work for the winter break without relying on Tsumugi? Since it's for him, I can help you too.
Tsumugi
Taichi-kun and Itaru-kun are having some sort of strategy meeting...I wonder if Taichi-kun has finished his homework for the winter break...? Thank you too, Director, for celebrating during the busy end-of-year period. I'd like to talk lots about acting together next year too.
How old is Azuma-san turning? It feels like a case of curiosity killing the cat, so it's hard to ask
Tasuku Takato
I don't know either. Arisugawa was launching a suicide attack, but...I haven't seen him since.
BANRI.
...For real. This is something that should be added to the Seven Mysteries of Mankai already.
Tasuku Takato
You get teased when you go specifically to ask. I'll ask him next time we go on a drive.
Azuma
Are you that interested in my age? I can tell you, but...You'll have to behave appropriately, so prepare yourself, okay? Hehe, You can ask without holding back too, Director.
Homare Arisugawa
Juza Hyodo
Homare-san's birthday...I want to thank him for everything, but it's hard for me to figure out that person's tastes.
Muku
I think he'll be happy just with words of thanks! Why don't you join our next tea party, Ju-chan?
Juza Hyodo
The thing you have in the courtyard, huh. The traditional sweets I ordered have just arrived, so I'll bring them.
Muku
Wow! Arisu-san will definitely be happy! Hehe, I'm looking forwards to the birthday tea party ♪
Homare
The tea part with Juza-kun and Muku-kun was an extremely valuable time. Hehe, you're going to celebrate too, of course, right, Director? Rather than with a special gift, with your special time...Shall we dance?
Tasuku Takato
Tsuzuru
It's Takato-san's birthday today, huh. How shall we celebrate?
Omi Fushimi
That's right...I've prepared cake, but I'd like to do something as members of the same soccer team.
Tsuzuru
Why don't we gather people and have something like a BD match? That riverbed court was free.
Omi Fushimi
Tasuku-san would probably be happy with that. I'll try inviting Banri.
Tasuku
I was able to play soccer to my heart's content during the BD match. I'm grateful to them. ...And of course, to you too, Director. Thanks for creating the Reborn Winter Troupe. I'll strive to meet your expectations this year too.
MANKAI Company: First Year Memories
These messages are from a the thank-you video released as part of the campaign.
Sakuya
This is a precious work that marks the start of our story! We all practiced lots to bring it together.
Masumi
Right. The play where the story of me and the Director began - a story that could go anywhere. We'll play the recording at our wedding, so remember it.
Sakuya
M-Masumi-kun...Though if it's with everyone in the Spring Troupe, we'll definitely be able to go anywhere, right, Director!
Tenma
This comedy was the turning point for my life. I was able to overcome my trauma...and perform the greatest play with my friends.
Yuki
Those are decent words for useless Tenma. You've grown a bit as a leader, haven't you?
Tenma
Geez, your sharp tongue hasn't changed at all from back then...
Banri
Rooming with Hyodo, getting handcuffed together, and playing partners - it really was a mess of a play.
Juza
Shut up...For me, it was an important play that became the reason I could change myself.
Banri
I'm not saying it wasn't important. Thanks for chasing after me that time, hey? Director.
Tsumugi
In this Winter Troupe, beside Tasuku...I'll perform with my own style of acting. This was the play where I was able to make that resolution.
Tasuku
By talking about acting from morning to night, it was the reason we were able to reexamine each other's acting, huh.
Tsumugi
I'm glad to be able to stand again on the stage I'd once given up on. Thanks for that time, Tasuku.
Tasuku
Don't get all emotional. We're still just starting, right? We've got a long road ahead of us.
Masumi
You chose me to be the leader. I'm satisfied with that memory alone.
Itaru
Wait, no, there were other things too, weren't there? Have you forgotten about getting abducted in my car and making your game center debut with me?
Masumi
...During this play, I was able to confirm that you're my fated person. Of course, I haven't forgotten that moment either.
Itaru
Business as usual, here it is......Well, why don't you enjoy the rest of your teenage years too?
Yuki
I don't want to admit it, but I was in a slump with both acting and costumes. Honestly, Kazunari saved me......I'm grateful.
Kazunari
I wanted to support you as the second lead, Yukki. We kind of had matching feelings, right~?
Yuki
Don't get carried away. I'll start the talk of being a designer unit from a blank slate.
Kazunari
Ahh! Yukki, hold off on that~! ...Say, does that mean you were really considering that!?
Omi
I seriously faced both acting and my past. Thanks to Taichi, I was able to ride a bike for the first time in a while.
Taichi
The bike and the ocean and the group photo and~ Definitely, the stickers the Director gave me, are all memories!
Omi
Yeah. Thanks to the Director, I was able to move forward. I'll stick on a yellow sticker today, too.
Homare
This noble, aesthetic figure...A beauty unthinkable for a butler. Whenever you look, you're enchanted by it, right, Hisoka-kun?
Hisoka
...Whatever. As long as you give me marshmallows, all Arisus are the same to me.
Homare
Honestly, you really are a selfish young master...Well, that's fine. I'm fond of your being like that.
Tsuzuru
...I really struggled with this script. I didn't know how to tie up the friendship at the end...
Citron
It was a good script that stirred up your heart. Even apart, they're always connected...That too is a form of friendship.
Tsuzuru
Right now, I think that even if it's just for my own satisfaction, I'd like to continue writing the things only I can write.
Misumi
The paper plane competition, the treasure hunt, and the fireworks were all~ fun~! My heart's a triangle~ A warm triangle~.
Muku
Even after we stepped off the stage, it was just as if we were pirates searching for a happy treasure!
Misumi
Yeah! I'll treasure the happy triangle I found with everyone for ever and ever! I'll make the greatest stage with everyone, so watch, okay!
Sakyo
To think the day would come where I'd stand on the stage as the lead actor at this theatre that had been a place too far for me to reach.
Juza
By having a heart-to-heart with Sakyo-san, I was able to muster up the confidence to stand alongside you as the second lead too.
Sakyo
Us fellows who were able to change because we started acting have to pay back our debts to the Director and the troupe, huh.
Azuma
I'm no longer alone. They all accepted everything about me...When I think about that, the morning light I'd been so afraid of now appears very beautiful.
Tasuku
I was able to get to know you too. By revealing ourselves to each other and stepping into each other's territories, I think we were able to make a good play in the end.
Azuma
Oh Tasuku, you're all about acting as usual...But I was glad that Homare put a name to the Winter Troupe's relationship.
Sakuya
Director! Thank you for supporting us this year!
Tenma
Thanks to you, we've been able to bloom in full this year.
Banri
I want to make more 'real' plays with you, so be prepared.
Tsumugi
Let's make even more plays here at this theatre together!
