THE iDOLM@STER (Mana) - Azusa chapter 2 TL (proofread v2)

01


Ami's super transformation!
Princess Melody♪

Hey, are you sure these fit? Doesn't it feel too tight?
It does because it's brand new, you'll get used to it in no time.

Every single part is made with special materials.
Seriously, emphasizing these body lines...

The costume sure feels tight.


02


But
I'm very fond of it

K-Kotori-san!
Please recheck the size!
Ara?


03


The new song "Nanairo Button" is complete.
Ryuuguu Komachi moves on to a new stage!!


04


The seven-color button that you gave me [Note: This verse is different from the actual song.]

Has colored everything with love.

How is it?
What a wonderful song
Ami reaaaly likes it!

Compared to Smoky Thrill, this song has a straighter image.
You bet.


05


Since this new song has a good impact
We'll perform it in a more traditional way.

Definitely... it really feels that way.

Hey, do these lyrics alternate between boy and girl parts?
I don't think so, since there's feminine words such as "boku" and "noyo".

Since this girl says "first love" here
Would it be a puppy love?

Her companion is older, so she has been treated like a kid
But this girl has matured bit by bit...


06


So it's a bittersweet love?
That's why it's wonderful

But look at part D

"Like a soap bubble" "It's shining beautifully, yet it's fragile"
You can sense her anxiety together with the strength of her love.

By the way, what does "seven-color button" even mean?
A switch full of emotions?
I simply think of it as a game controller.


07


Ah, it's Ryuuguu Komachi.

765Pro really does have the best girls
Those angels have recently become formidable opponents.

Nonsense.


08


Second rate song, second rate choreography.
On top of that, they turned down the show.

That really weighed on your mind after all.
He just can't be honest.

One! Two! Three! Four!


09


Ami, your hands are raised too high!
Azusa-san, your movement isn't fast enough.
Iori, you make too many excessive moves.

<puff huff puff huff>

You're way too picky on physical movements.

Of course. A firm basis is essential for everything.

Did you forget that we're idols?
Besides singing and dancing, there's something that's more important.

For example?


10


That's gotta be
Fan response

To successfully deliver what they call for on stage
That's the job of us idols.

But all in all, that still requires a good basis, doesn't it?
Basis is essential.
But fan response is more important!


11


Basis!
Fan response!

I beg to differ

The first thing to keep in mind is how we enjoy ourselves, isn't it?
If we're not having fun, then we can't amuse the audience.

Basis!
Fan response!
Joy!

Azusa, what do you think?
Eh?


12


Hmm... let's see...

It's a tough question, haha.
Fine...

How about we use everyone's suggestions together
And try to incorporate them in our practice?

Nicely said, Azusa.
Azusa-san...
Sounds fun!

But you know... we hardly have the time...

Hah...
Do as you wish.


13


So, let's start with my special appeal training.

Ready? Shall I begin?

Everybody who has come to see us today
Thank you so much

Wow, Iori-chan is so cute.
Here it is! Iorin's feint technique!
You mean feigning innocence.

Now it's your turn.


14


Ami's here
Just like usual

My name is Miura Azusa♡

Whoa! Azusa-nee-chan is so sexy!
...

W-Well, that's a pass I guess.


15


Next up is Ami's lesson.
The "Change of Lyrics" Crash Course

[GIANT WALL OF TEXT]
"If you don't like it"
Then give up right away.
From tomorrow on, you'll be set free.
So go on a journey as you wish.
You're then responsible for yourself.
You can't have your own way of living.
There's no guarantee you can continue that life style.
Do you still want to run away?

"If you don't like it" Then give up right away.
From tomorrow on, you'll be set free. So go on a journey as you wish.
<bin: flammable trash>

16


Iori-chan
Yeah?

I've come up with the answer.
Heh?
Remember? You asked what's the most important thing a while ago.

You got it just now? That's very, very late!
Azusa-nee-chan goes at her own pace once again


17


I think that

Because the precious thing that each of us holds close to our heart is different for all of us
It makes us wonderful that way.

Ufufu


18


The "Debut of the New Release Song" will begin soon

Good luck
Everyone, fight on!
Bring out the best of yourself!

Try not to get nervous and mess things up
Hah, speak for yourself.

Good luck out there!


19


Okay
It's time

We haven't felt this kind of tension in quite a while now.


20


It reminds me of our first debut of Smoky Thrill.

Now that I think about it, didn't it take place here as well?

Our experience and　amount of practice is different compared to the past.

We must show them how much we have improved!

So you do regret not listening to what Ricchan told you after all.
<I feel you>

What about you!? You've been straining yourself for a while now!
I-Iorin, you're no different!

Fufu, Iori-chan, Ami-chan


21


Let's make the most of it together like we three usually do.

How dare they show up without shame.

That outfit... new song, I guess.


22-23


Since the moment you touched me
This seven-color button has colored everything with love.

The strength to overcome any circumstance
Was given to me by you.

Hey...


24


That girl is a princess.

This kid is a fairy.

How about that big sis?
She is


25


A goddess.

Well
Indeed, every single woman is a goddess.
Hokkun, you're always so poetic.
In a bad way...

What nonsense are you guys spouting?

But


26


Just by changing the song
Their performance feels totally different from before.

How on earth did they do that?

They are all goddesses, but...


27


She is perhaps the most outstanding among them.

*shiver*

Hmm? Is the AC system in the studio working too well?


28


All three of you were so cute!

Th-Thanks

Nfufu~ Ami's sexy appeal is the real deal, isn't it?
Yup, that was awesome!
Fufufu, I appreciate your compliment, Haruka-chan.

We can't lose to them
Yeah


29


That was a superb debut. Don't you think so?

Was it?

Once again... I guess the gap between us keeps gettng wider.

...
It went well thanks to everyone

And also...


30


Thanks to the goddess of fortune who has accompanied us.
