| (DRIVE A LIVE starts playing)
|
|
315 Production presents to you this High×Joker special! Make it sparkling! Make it thrilling!
Hy…p… Meg… Max… uhh— / Hyper Mega Max, super hype-up—
Special Radio!
|
|
|
|
…All right, so we’ve begun the… Hyper Mega Max, super hype-up special radio…!
|
|
|
We’re going with MAX excitement right at the beginning!
|
| (DRIVE A LIVE fades out)
|
|
*sighs*… Please wait a moment, Hayato, Shiki-kun.
|
|
|
Ahaha! No beating around the bush with Juncchi’s demonic retorts, I guess!
|
|
|
Did you say something just now, Shiki-kun?
|
|
|
N-nothing, no sirree.
|
|
|
What was with that title call just now? It’s completely different from what’s written on the script.
|
|
The correct title should be… umm……315 Production presents to you…… this High×Joker special…… Make it sparkling… Make it thrilling… special radio……
|
|
U-uh, wait, Natsuki. Maybe read those lines with a little bit more excitement so we can fire it up?
|
|
|
Um…… More… excitement…… Mm…… Hm… ……How do I do that, Haruna?
|
|
|
Ah…… Uh— Well, whatever. You’re fine the way you are. Yep.
|
|
|
I can’t believe you. We’re not going to put in the Hyper Mega Max and super hype-up parts.
|
|
|
But it’s totally a lot cooler this way! Hayatocchi and I thought this up in secret a while ago, just for this.
|
|
|
Wow… *glares* Hayato, you’re a culprit in this too?
|
|
|
Well~… umm… Ahahaha…
|
|
|
All right, settle down there. You too, Jun. We’re losing time if we keep going like this.
|
|
|
Oh, you’re right. Anyways, let’s get started!
|
| (Haruna flips the paper)
|
|
|
‘Kay… This program is for 315 Production’s… Eh… uh—… Hey, Natsuki, how do you read this…?
|
|
|
……Um…
|
|
|
Lend it to me.
|
| (Jun takes the paper)
|
|
|
Whoops!
|
|
|
Jun......
|
|
|
What part was that? …This program is for 315 Production’s unit, the up-and-coming idol unit currently in high school, High×Joker. We aim to show the listener our charm through this hype-up, vibin’ along, radio program, dude! Yay~
|
| (Jun puts down the paper)
|
|
|
“Hype-up… Vibin’ along…” Shiki-kun… You even meddled with the script?
|
|
|
Urk—… Cat’s outta the bag…
|
|
|
Mmhahaha… If we keep going like this, we won’t be able to make any headway… Guys, Producer finally managed to secure a special radio program for us. We gotta do it more properly. Ahem. …Um…
|
| (Hayato flips through the papers)
|
|
|
This one’s the original script. …This program is for 315 Production’s unit, the up-and-coming idol unit currently in high school, High×Joker. We aim to show the listener our charm through this special radio program. Though it will be a short time, please do accompany us! Now then, let’s introduce each member once more.
|
| (Clapping)
|
|
|
Ooh! / YAAAY~!
|
|
|
|
I’ll go first! I’m the leader, Akiyama Hayato. I play guitar!
|
|
|
I’m the youngest member, vocalist Iseya Shiki! YAY~
|
|
|
I’m the pianist, Fuyumi Jun.
|
|
|
......I’m Sakaki Natsuki… Bassist.
|
|
|
I’m the drummer, Wakazato Haruna. I’m a young’n fresh 18 year old~
|
|
The five of us together make up High×Joker!
|
|
|
...We nailed it!
|
|
|
‘Cuz we can do it if we try.
|
|
|
It’s thanks to Hayato.
|
|
|
N-not really, hahaha… You’re making me blush.
|
|
|
What, are you planning to digress right after that? Let’s keep up the pace and continue on.
|
|
|
Gotchas.
|
| (Hayato flips through the papers)
|
|
|
Um… Okay, then. First things first. We want the listeners to know more about us! So with that…
|
|
|
By the way! I don’t know how all you guys decided on the instruments that you were gonna be playing. Since we’ve got the chance right now, please tell us all about it!
|
|
|
……Ah, just now… He actually went along with the script…
|
|
|
Why’d ya just expose me like that, Natsukicchi!? You’re gonna ruin our groove; it was going so well!
|
|
|
Eh—…… Uh…… Umm…… I’m sorry.
|
|
|
Ah, there, there. No worries, no worries. Don’t fight, and let’s all get along, okay? Anyway, we were talking about how we decided on the instruments we were playing, right? I joined last, so… Even though I chose drums, I didn’t really have some profound meaning for it. It was just the open position, simple as that.
|
|
|
Even though you say that, when you’re with the drums, you’re rather… how do I put it? You’re serious about it, Haruna-san. Despite them being such exhausting instruments, stamina-wise, and requiring a lot of practice.
|
|
|
Oh!? O-oh…… thanks!
|
|
|
Yep, yep! Haruna, your drumming is really steady. And honestly, that’s surprising. That’s probably rude, isn’t it.
|
|
|
Yeah, yeah. If I did have a steady disposition, I wouldn’t have repeated those years, huh…? Oh, so what about you, Hayato? Why did you start playing guitar?
|
|
|
My reason? It’s because, no matter what, playing the guitar makes me popular!
|
|
|
*sighs* ...
|
|
|
Hayatocchi’s guitar playing is, like, how do you put it… Like, mega awesome! When we’ve got a hyped-up, vibing-along song, it’s so passionate! And when it’s a song that’s on the quieter side of things, it’s got this hyper tender feel to it~ I dunno if you could call it energy, but it’s got power behind it!
|
|
|
I concur that he plays the guitar well. But that’s exactly why his impure reason of wanting to become popular is so…
|
|
|
Huh? It’s not impure. I just purely want to be popular!
|
|
|
…Hayatocchi’s eyes are sparkling and pure as can be…
|
|
|
And what about it.
|
|
|
Mmhahaha… So why did you play keyboard, Jun?
|
|
|
Uh— I was…… originally a piano player. So that’s all there is to it.
|
|
|
......Jun’s piano playing is… amazing......! Ah… it’s not like the sound itself is just echoing. It’s as if you can see the scenery from the sound…… When I hear it, it gets across to my heart so strongly......
|
|
|
I-I see…!
|
|
|
N-nothing less of you…
|
|
|
Natsuki, that was embarrassing…
|
|
|
Ahh, so why’d you start bass, Natsuki?
|
|
|
......Ah...... um......
|
|
|
Hey…! Natsuki…! Y-you can do this!
|
|
|
Natsukicchi, say something, anything! If you keep quiet like this, then the program’s gonna be thrown haywire!
|
|
|
Ah…… uh…… umm…… um. …Nothing, really.
|
|
|
By “nothing, really,” you mean… You didn’t have a specific reason for picking it?
|
|
|
...Yeah.
|
|
|
But I like your bass playing. It gets easier to play the drums for me, I guess. We got a good groove between us as the rhythm squad, don’t we!
|
|
|
Ah…… fufu. Yes.
|
|
|
…Wha— We’re nearing the time limit, so we have to wrap it up? We don’t have that much time left!? Are you serious…?
|
|
|
*sighs* It’s because we wasted time ever since the very beginning! Come on, let’s start finishing up.
|
|
|
All right, then. To finish this off, let’s have each member talk about his thoughts on our future activities!
|
|
|
As long as we’re going to be idols, imperfect as we are, I’ll do my actions without fail. That’s all I have to say.
|
|
|
……Um… Ah…… I’ll try my best… at least.
|
|
|
Uhh— Then I’ll try my own best to graduate safely!
|
|
|
WHAT!? Graduate!? Harunacchi, you can’t graduate from the band! You can’t do that, no matter what! High×Joker is eternal~!
|
|
|
No, man! Calm down, Shiki! I’m referring to graduating high school safely…!
|
|
|
*sighs*…… Come on, leader. Please end things before everything falls out of order.
|
|
|
Haha, yeah, I guess I have to. Mmh! I originally started this band because I wanted to be popular. But now, as a member of High×Joker, I want to stand on an even larger stage with everyone. That’s the major feeling I have about this, I guess. Oh, of course— for that to happen, we’ll need the fans’ support! So please do continue to take care of High×Joker from now on! So with that, we’ll be ending things here!
|
|
|
Ooh, you wrapped it up nicely. Nice job, leader!
|
|
|
‘Kay then, all of us are gonna ask too!
|
|
|
Once more, ready, set…
|
|
|
Please take care of High×Joker!
|
|
|
And with that, your hosts have been High×Joker!
|
|
|
Bye-byesies~☆
