Tsubasa Kashiwagi/Side Memories

01 - Here I go!

Translator: GQ
Character	Commu
	Good morning, Producer.
	Good morning.
	Today's the day we finally meet them... This still feels so weird to me. Even if it's just for TV, I can't really imagine being in a unit with people that aren't Teru-san or Kaoru-san...
	You can do it!
	Thank you! Everything about this job is new to me, but... I'll do my best to contribute!
	I'm Kashiwagi Tsubasa, from 315 Production! I've been appointed as the leader and center of our unit. We'll only be together for a short period of time, but I'm looking forward to working with you!
Aloof idol	............Mmhmm.
Friendly idol	Hey, you could at least try to introduce yourself! ...It's nice to meet you, Kashiwagi-san!

02 - First-time Leader

Character	Commu
	Again, I look forward to working with you two. This is my first time being a leader, but I'll do my best!
Friendly idol	Me too! I'm excited to be in the same unit as you, Kashiwagi-san.
Aloof idol	...Mmhmm.
	(T-these two are like night and day... Will they be alright...?) Well then, let's get started with practice.
Aloof idol	It looks crazy to me, so I'm just tellin' it like it is... Can we be done with this?
Friendly idol	No, we can't! What you said isn't the problem, it's your attitude that is!
	Um... Calm down, you two...
	I'm sorry, Producer... I couldn't settle them down.
	Gives Tsubasa some words of encouragement
	...Thank you. As a leader, I need to be more assertive!

03 - Target of Anger

Character	Commu
	...Okay... let's wrap up our second day of practice here.
Friendly idol	Alright! I learned a ton today. I'll see you again tomorrow!
Aloof idol	Hey... But we didn't get anywhere. Our dance was all outta sync...
	Fufu. Every group is like that in the beginning. You shouldn't worry about...
Aloof idol	...What are you smiling for?
	...Huh?
Aloof idol	It's like you're always in the clouds. I don't get it. You think this is fun or something?
	Of course it's fun. I love being on stage as an idol, and I love our lessons too...
Aloof idol	Hm... I guess DRAMATIC STARS must be a real happy-go-lucky unit.
	...?! What do you mean by that...?
Aloof idol	Nothin' really. Just figured y'all must think you're here for fun and games or something.
	......There's not a single person in DRAMATIC STARS who thinks this is a game. Not a single one of us. Oh... I... I'm sorry about that... I need to go cool down.

04 - Wrapped in Warmth

Character	Commu
	Sigh...
	Order whatever you like.
	...Thank you for taking me out for food, Producer. I know it wasn't very mature of me to leave the studio out of anger... But I was just so frustrated... I hope you won't mind if take you up on this offer. I want this, and this, and this... And everything from this row to that row!
	...Mmm... That thick-cut steak was great. Thank you for the food. And now, to top it all off with sushi... Chomp. Rrk! ...I forgot to ask for no wasabi... I can't eat wasabi at all... Ahaha... I really am still a kid. Can't even handle wasabi. ...But the fact that I can let myself be a kid around other people now... That makes me happy. If something like this happened to me in the past... I think I would've just wanted to be alone instead.

05 - An Airway for Dreams

Character

Commu

By "the past," I mean when I gave up on my dreams of becoming a pilot. ...It's a little embarrassing to share this, but up until that point, I'd never gone through a major failure before. My parents and everyone else I knew—they all had the impression that I could do well at anything. I didn't have any reason to doubt them, either. But, during the first flight of my dreams... ...When that happened, there was just no way I could keep a smile on my face anymore. So I tried to hide by retreating to the terminal. And that's where I moped, all by myself. ...Now that I'm an idol, I can't hide away like that anymore. Just look at us. No matter what side of me comes out, I know that you... that Teru-san, and Kaoru-san... You'll all tell me that it's okay, and help me forward... So, you could say I'm pretty spoiled. ...If Kaoru-san were here, he might say that I've become "corrupted." Fufu.

06 - Proof of an Idol

Character	Commu
	Producer. Thank you for listening to me yesterday. I ate a lot, so I'm brimming with energy now. I think I can express myself properly this time.
	Good morning! Before we start practice today, would you mind if I borrowed a little of your time? I'd like to have you reevaluate what you said yesterday.
Aloof idol	Reevaluate? ...What, are you gonna make those other guys come here?
	I'm an idol. How I perform on stage is everything to me. So this is the only way I can prove myself to you. ...Excuse me, would you play this on the equipment? Please enjoy this song. DRIVE A LIVE.

07 - Suspicions Cleared

Character	Commu
	...Huff... huff...
Friendly idol	W... wow.... This is what DRAMATIC STARS's Kashiwagi-san can do...!
Aloof idol	......
	...Huff, puff... Do you need more convincing?
Aloof idol	No, I'm sorry for being so rude. I totally thought DRAMATIC STARS was just some gimmicky idol unit. I mean, a former pilot, former lawyer, and former doctor? Makes no sense to me. So I assumed you were all just messing around, and I lashed out at you for it... We're supposed to be working as a team... I'm sorry about all that.
	I'll always be a former pilot. That's never going to change. But it's my teammates and my fans that make me into an idol today.

08 - Why I Smile

Character	Commu
	I'm always thinking about the people who'll smile when they hear me sing or watch me dance. Thinking about them makes me happy, too. It gives me the motivation to meet their expectations... So I guess that's why I'm always smiling. Oh, yeah! Why don't you two give it a try? Close your eyes, and imagine an audience filled with beaming faces... See, doesn't that bring a smile to your face?
Friendly idol	...Yes! Just the thought of it fills me with joy.
Aloof idol	...I wanna make it a reality.
	Fufu, it looks like we're finally on the same page. So, let me say this again—I look forward to working with you two!

09 - Kashiwagi Tsubasa

Character	Commu
	It's finally the big day. The three of us are going to make our dreams come true!
Friendly idol	Yes! Let's go, leader.
Aloof idol	The seats are packed... We're gonna put a smile on all of their faces.
	Producer. You had to deal with a pretty embarrassing side of myself this time. So to make up for it, I'll show you exactly how cool I can be up on stage. I'll prove to you that Kashiwagi Tsubasa, the idol you debuted, is the coolest idol out there. So don't take your eyes off me. Not even for a second.
	I can't wait.
	Thank you...! Well then, here I go!
Tsubasa heads onto the stage.
	Hey there, everyone! Our name is...

10 - I'm back!

Character	Commu
	I'm finally back! ...Phew, there sure is no place like home... Thank you for giving me this amazing opportunity, Producer. I know I've said this a million times, but... I'm glad I can work with you!
	Same here!
	Welcome back, Tsubasa! Glad you made it back safe.
	Teru-san! And Kaoru-san, too! Yay...! I'm back!
	Judging from your attitude, I take it that the concert went well?
	Very! ...I had to get a bunch of help from Producer, though.
	A bunch...? If I knew you were struggling, I would've pitched in to help too.
	It's for the better that you didn't. You'd just make a pointless mess out of any situation.
	What was that?!
Teru and Kaoru begin quibbling.
	Hahaha! Come on, you two, no fighting! (Fufu. Let's keep doing the best we can—together!)
