Added some new links to Yoshihiko Aramaki`s masterpost here.

Good evening.

Today’s performance of Super Evolution Stage「Digimon Adventure tri. ~ Adventure on August 1 ~」has finished !

Thank you very much to everyone who came to see it !

Today there was one evening performance, and there was a fresh and different response from the audience this time too, I was really glad to feel that atmosphere.

The number of people interested in Digimon that come to the theater increases day after day, and each time I see that view at the curtain call, my heart soars.

Today, we reached the midway point of the performances.

I want to focus my feelings and do my best until the end so please lend me your support until the very very end ! !

With Takeru

With Koushirou

There’s a fresh feeling to the communication up on the stage every day too, and the acting is really fun.

And then today, Makki and Yuuta came !

I heard that it was fun from a lot of people closely involved too, and I feel even more energetic about the next performances.

Tomorrow is a rest day from performing, but I will do my best the day after tomorrow too !

HEY!HEY!

Good evening.  

Everyone, did you do alright through the typhoon ?

The heat and good weather continued from yesterday in the Kanto area but in an instant, it got dark and rainy.

The summer feel of typhoons is really strong
While it does really feel like summer
I’m also praying it does as little damage as possible.

Today was a rest day from Digi-sute.

No one accidentally went to the theater, did they ! ?
Are you alright ! ? lol

I wonder if the Digimon got some good rest in…

And finally, I started , I went off to the intro meeting for En-sute ! !

It’s finally starting huh, En-sute.

A lot of people love it and I got to see performances from the previous 2 runs, so I was surprised again that I was in today’s intro meeting.
With the youth, strength, and brilliance of the cast members this time, I think we’ll make a wonderful production this time too ! !  

Now then, let’s go.

knights！！！！！

Let’s get fully prepared for the practice part that comes later. *

More than anything else, there’s a lot I’m looking forward to from now on too ~ ^ ^

Tomorrow’s Digi-sute performance is an evening show beginning at 19:00.

I hope the rain stops.

HEY!HEY!

Good evening.

I finished En-sute practice today too !
Today we did a final adjustment of our rehearsal in preparation for tomorrow’s full run-through, and connected all of the scenes in order to move through them smoothly.

I was super excited and full of adrenaline in today’s practice, so I wonder, how it will be in tomorrow’s rehearsal ?

I hope I’m able to put that excitement into my acting as Leo ^ ^

With everyone today !

Each group watches the others perform from the audience area when they’re done, and it’s really incredible.

One by one their movements come together
The sense of trust in their fellow group members comes out in their dances.

Starting now, the Knights gathered together (for the first time) can’t get behind or be defeated either. *

It’s the first time for me as a Knights member but everyone already knew from before, and the intensity and earnestness of Naoya’s first performance is just like Knights this time too. *  

Noble, right?

And then, 3B classmates.

It’s not just the En-suta group, we talk a lot of everyone else too so the relationships are interesting ^ ^  

Lastly, with Yuzu-chan

When it comes to being expressive, he’s the most talented one.
I’ve studied and learned a lot from Yuzu.

Let’s make things in the office even more exciting with our strength (^^)

HEY!HEY!

Good evening.

I went to En-sute practice today too !
Continuing from yesterday, we did act two of making our acting and dancing stronger.

We still have a ways to go to carefully polish up the work like we aim to, but the practice from yesterday and today was immediately organized and saved in my mind.

But when we do the full rehearsal and start moving towards the actual performances
My feelings on that may change again.

So that I don’t forget that change or how I enjoy acting, in my heart,
I think I want to look forward to En-sute ^ ^

Knights…

Or so I thought, Naoya went back to work early so it’s just 4 people.

Next time we’ll do it right with 5 ^ ^

We’ll be the noble, proud Knights.

HEY!HEY!

Good evening.

Today, 8/25, the Hashimoto Shohei first photobook went on sale !

Doing photoshoots in Enoshima and photoshoots in the studio
During really fun photoshoots, we were able to put together a photobook,

I’m grateful to the staff that were involved in this.
I’m grateful to publisher Tokuma Shouten, who said I should make a photobook. *
I’m grateful to my manager, who came out to the shoot locations.

The photobook that a lot of people put sweat and smiles into finishing, was the result of that effort delivered to everyone too, I wonder ?

Everyone we received event requests for online, please wait just a little bit longer !

Please enjoy 23 year old Hashimoto Shohei ! !

And I want to work hard day after day from now on so I can put out a second photobook, so everyone, I look forward to your support.

I went to Starbucks with Makki during a break from En-sute ^ ^

My favorite dark mocha chip Frappucino with one shot of espresso.

The bitterness mixed in with the sweet, I really recommend it !

Definitely try it out ! ! ! !

HEY!HEY!

Good evening.

The rain has kept going recently, hasn’t it…
It feels like all of the rain that didn’t fall during the rainy season is now falling all at once ^^;

The temperatures are chilly too, it felt like October.

It’s an easy temperature to spend time in but
It’s a precious holiday, so I wanted it to go back to being a summer where you want to get in the ocean or a pool.

But tomorrow it looks like it’ll be warm ! !

It seems like I’ll sweat a lot then ~ ^ ^

Now then, we had En-sute practice today too.
We’re advancing really fast, and every day I’m drilling a lot of different things into my mind.

It’s a very serious time right now but
for me, I want to get my body used to it so that I can get the movements down quickly !  

Knight Killers.

It’s a different feeling from when Knights is there !

Getting all kinds of motivations every day
To borrow Leo’s words, it feels like 「my inspiration’s rising ! !」(^^)

During breaks and when practice is over, the teams remaining practice on their own too.
What a serious, hard-working group.

So this is En-sute ! ! !

Let’s keep working at it with all we’ve got.

End of practice Papico is delicious…

HEY!HEY!

Summary under the cut.

sorry i cut out the fluff and focused on the main story

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Same night
The one who called Akane in the last part of the previous episode turns out to be Masayuki. Akane asks to meet up with Masa tomorrow so they could talk.

Next day, early morning
Masa wakes up and sees that Nagisa still hasn’t come home. He was about to leave when he comes across Reijirou who was making bentou for their practice later. He explains the situation to him and heads out. Rei was gonna follow him but he was already out of sight when he went out the door.

Rei opens up his laptop and hacks into the mainframe to locate Masa’s phone using GPS(?).

–later–

Yuusuke reads fan tweets / replies on his phone, most of them expressing their sadness and disappointment due to the scandals coming out. Kakeru snatches the phone away from him, and found tweets from other fans defending Stellar CROWNS and expressing their belief in them.

They found the bentou on the table, with a message from Rei saying that he and Masa will be out looking for Nagisa.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 

QUEEN RECORDS building
The guard told Masayuki that Nagisa didn’t come to the building, and that no one came last night.

QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area(?)
Masa receives a call from Yuusuke, but gets cut off because his phone ran out of battery. He looks at the clock and sees that he has 50 minutes left before the arranged meeting with Akane, so he sets out for the meeting place.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ 

Dance Studio(?)
Yuusuke and Kakeru arrive together, and saw that Kouki and Mizuki (ASTRA RING) were already there. Kamishiro, ASTRA RING’s manager, explained that it was for the documentary that they’ll be shooting for STELLAR CROWNS and ASTRA RING’s joint live. Yuusuke and Kakeru were both surprised, and Kamishiro explained that it was Akane who decided this to recover from the recent scandals.

Kamishiro then asks them where the rest of Stellar CROWNS are.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area
Using the GPS(?), Rei arrives at the last location where Masa was before his phone went out. There he sees a set of keys with a strawberry keyholder on the ground.

–flashback–
Rei remembers that the keyholder was given by Masa to Nagisa. Nagisa names it “berry-yuki” (strawberry + Masayuki).

Moriya arrives in his car at the parking area and sees Rei. Together, they went to the guard to ask him about Nagisa. They found out that all security camera footage from yesterday was deleted, as instructed by Akane.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Dance Studio
Yuusuke explains the situation to ASTRA RING and their manager. Kakeru turns to leave to help with the search for the missing Nagisa. Kamishiro guilt-trips Yuusuke to stay. Yuusuke also convinces Kakeru to stay, telling him that both of them should do what they can do.

Moriya is working on his laptop trying to restore the deleted security footage. Rei offers to help but Moriya declined saying that it’s not something amateurs can do. Moriya fails, and Rei takes over. He proceeds to do the fancy hacking thing while Moriya looked on in awe

(I said I cut out the fluff but I found the ‘hacking’ scenes so extra, I love it)

Kouki picks a fight with Kakeru and Mizuki and Yuusuke stops them. Kakeru tries to leave, but Mizuki stops him to apologize, and then manages to force Kouki to apologize as well. Kakeru tells them to change to their practice clothes so they can start.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Unknown location
Nagisa manages to free his feet so he got up and looked around. He found an envelope on a table and opens it.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

QUEEN RECORDS indoor parking area
The security footage got recovered successfully. (Moriya is like, “wtf?”) They looked at the footage from the camera in the parking area. They see Akane pushing a trolley with something like a body bag on it. As we walked by, something fell on the ground. They looked at it closer and it turned out to be the keys with the strawberry keyholder. A few moments later, a black van exits the parking area.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Unknown location
Nagisa looks through the file inside the envelope. It turned out to be an investigation report about Kouki and Mizuki. It details Fyrklöver’s activities in chronological fashion, including the time when Yuusuke withdrew from the group and the time when Nagisa became busy with his acting career.

–flashback: 2014–
Nagisa is just about to enter the dance studio where Fyrklöver is practicing, when he hears Kouki and Mizuki talking. Kouki wonders what would happen to the two of them, since Yuusuke quit and Nagisa’s acting career is going well. Mizuki tells him that Kouki will do just fine, it’s just that no one has taken notice of his talent yet. Kouki asks him if he’s being sarcastic, or just trying to cheer him up. Mizuki answers that he really believes what he said. The two begin practice, and Nagisa only looks on.

–flashback end

Just then, someone started to violently turn the door knob, trying to get in. Nagisa thinks it’s Akane and hurriedly tries to free his hands and arms.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Masa is walking towards his and Akane’s arranged meeting place. A black van can be seen following him.

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Dance Studio, dressing area
Mizuki reads another article that just broke out, accusing Reijirou of being a part of an international hacking group.

Kouki asks Mizuki why he stopped him earlier when it seemed like it would’ve gone well. He tells him they should just hurry up and do it, when Mizuki kabedons stops him. Mizuki tells him to stop acting on his own, because it may be the end for the two of them.

this photo gives me strange feelings

⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆

Meeting Area (underpass)
Akane apologizes to Masayuki for dragging them into something once again. He tells them that they’re in danger. Before Masa could ask him for an explanation, a black van speeds straight at them. They both manage to get out of the way in time. But then, unknown men gets out of the van and rushes towards them. Akane gets tasered, and eventually Masayuki gets tasered as well. They were carried back to the van, and it speeds off to somewhere.

Nagisa is struggling to free himself while someone is trying to get in the room.

Moriya and Reijirou are in Moriya’s car, hurrying to somewhere.

While Nagisa is still trying to untie himself, the door is opened. Two people walk in.
