LIVE

From Prince of Tennis OVA: National Tournament Arc, FAN DISK White heat Remix, translated by me. Part I is Tezuka and Fuji’s audio commentary on Momoshiro vs Oshitari match. Link to the audio is in the Content Source. :)

Tezuka:Fuji.
Fuji: Hey, Tezuka! Sorry for making you come here when you’re so busy.
Tezuka: My apologies, I was late since I was on the phone with Atobe.
Fuji: Huh? Is the meeting between the captains supposed to be held today?  
Tezuka: It is.
Fuji: You don’t need to go?
Tezuka: I got Oishi to attend in my place. Besides, it’s more of a get-together than a meeting. Oishi’s better suited for those types of things.
Fuji: That’s true. If you attended, you’d probably be still distant with everyone by the end of it.
Tezuka: I’m just not good at social events.
Fuji: What’s more, many of the other schools have captains with strong personalities.
Tezuka: As long as Atobe’s there, the meeting should get off without a cinch. There should be no problems with my absence.
Fuji: I wonder about that. He seems like the most finicky one out of all of them to me. Though he might make things more entertaining that way.

Tezuka: Enough about the meeting. More importantly, what exactly did you want to talk about?
Fuji: Impatient as ever, aren’t you.
Tezuka: You told me there was something you wanted to talk over again. I got curious.
Fuji: Hm? Any idea what it’s about?
Tezuka: No, not in particular. Not in particular, but if you have any problems, I can lend an ear.
Fuji: …Problems? Let me think… Now that you put it that way, I guess it is a problem.
Tezuka: What is it? Tell me.
Fuji: Well, I’ll tell you some other time. Anyway, there’s something I want you to see.
Tezuka:What?
Fuji: I actually found this at a nook in the clubroom. Look.
Tezuka: Oh… This is the Nationals match with Hyotei? The matchup between Momoshiro and Oshitari.
Fuji: It was very good, wasn’t it? This match.
Tezuka: It was. The end results aside, it was quite the heated match.
Fuji: Yeah, seeing Momo so fired up like that made me feel a little envious.
Tezuka: So what about this piqued your interest?
Fuji: Seems like Inui got someone to film this video for analysis. This is the edited version, but I found more tapes taken from different angles.
Tezuka: I expected no less from him. Inui has quite the inquisitive mind. 
Fuji: Look! I also found this along the way.
Tezuka: Hm? What’s that?
Fuji: Inui’s Supplementary Analysis Notebook. It has Inui’s memos on every match.
Tezuka: And you just found this by chance? I can’t imagine Inui carelessly leaving such an important notebook around in the clubroom. 
Fuji:How mean~ I only just happened to find it, I swear. Don’t you believe me?
Tezuka: ‘Just happened to'………….. Sure.
Fuji:Anyway, Inui jotted down something like this about this match.
Tezuka: Something like what?
Fuji:“To prepare for the match with Hyotei, Momoshiro trained in the mountains with  Kawamura. The two of them worked in tandem to procure food, with Momoshiro keeping a lookout for the fish’s movements and pointing it out, while Kawamura catches it in a show of strength.”
Fuji: “As a result, his insight has gone up, and he also mastered how to sharply snap his wrist.”
Tezuka:I see…
Fuji:And apparently, the fish they caught during that time were used as ingredients for Kawamura Sushi.
Tezuka:Is that information really necessary?
Fuji: If it were freshwater fish, it would be chum salmon, or trout, I guess.
Tezuka: I See.
Fuji: Taka-san caught chum salmon with his bare hands. He’s like a bear!
Tezuka:Mmm… To think the calm and collected Oshitari would be trembling with excitement….
Fuji: Chum salmon sushi tastes good when you grill it a little before eating, doesn’t it. It fills your mouth with its unique flavor, and…
Tezuka:He’s gotten that absorbed into the game, huh… Looking back at things truly does give us some new perspective.
Fuji: Tezuka… Are you listening to me?
Tezuka: Yes, I am. You were talking about chum salmon, right?
Fuji:Right. Well, if you say so…
Tezuka: What’s wrong, Fuji? If you’re feeling unwell, head to the infirmary. Want me to go with you?
Fuji: It’s nothing really, so don’t worry about it.
Tezuka:I see… Okay then.
Fuji: Alright, Momo’s match is almost over. I wonder who’s match we’ll see next.
Tezuka:Yeah…
Fuji: Speaking of which, you’re more talkative than usual today, Tezuka.
Tezuka: Am I? I think I’m talking just as much as I usually do when I’m talking to you…
Fuji:Are you? ….Then I guess it’s fine.
