I know I haven’t posted about this game but since I just pre-ordered the limited edition, I figured now is a good time to start lol! Cupid Parasite, available on Nov 2nd, is the next English otome to be released on the Nintendo Switch! All the info and links below~

Description from VNDB

In the heart of Los York, a glitzy, trendsetting metropolis
that sits on the cutting edge of culture and couture, one daring marriage agency stands apart from the rest in success rate and in style. The Cupid Corporation.

As Cupid Corp’s top bridal advisor, our heroine consults the city’s most in-vogue singles to make their wildest romantic dreams come true. But she has one secret which she can never share.

Her true identity is Cupid, a descendant from Celestia sent here on a heavenly mission.

Only this time, our heroine has been tasked with her biggest challenge yet: handling the matchmaking, and thus the fates, of the infamous Parasite 5.

After a series of unimpressive interviews and workshops, they concoct the perfect plan. Parasite House, a shared home created for reality TV centered around the lives of the Parasite 5 and their romantic exploits.

Leading these hopeless men to marital bliss proves to be a Herculean task even for great Cupid herself!
Can she live up to her name and keep her identity secret at the same time?!
Find out in the most divinely unpredictable romantic comedy of the millennium! ♥

I’ve just been part of such a small bit of its history, but it’s already the 4th anniversary!

追憶レター (Recollection Letter)

Enoki Junya (E) and Yashiro Taku (Y)

E: We definitely can’t get any closer than this
You’re right by my side, but your words are far away
Y: These feelings I can’t ever say,
It feels like they’ll vanish soon.

E: This time,
Y: I’ll write it all down,
E: And leave it in
Y: A letter
Both: If I leave it all behind, will I finally be at ease?

Your serene profile reminds me a bit of the shadows,
And the pain of the past I’ve hidden between the lines
To whoever’s in the future, so it won’t vanish away in memories:
I send your kind, laughing silhouette
E:My heart aches,
Y: But, beautifully,
Both: I shall waver

I still…

Hatanaka Tasuku (H) and Lounsbery Arthur (L)

(Whoa…)

H: You always tell me too much stuff,
Just for my embarrassed reactions, yeah…
L:In (a day) packed to the minute, I keep remembering you
I’ll stop tapping out letters with my fingertips,
Both:Turn off the screen…

H: You definitely don’t know, and you’ll never answer back,
Both: But nevertheless, inside my head –
Ah, but no, you won’t, not like this,
I’ll answer my own questions all over again;
I’ll be wound up.(?)
It isn’t even that deep,
L: It’s just one word
Both: But it always drives me crazy.

月の下で電話して (I’ll call you under the moon)

Kousaka Atsushi (K) and Nogami Sho (N)

K: We take the same train station, but go opposite directions.
N:As we go our opposite ways home, we wave at each other and smile.
K:The full moon I see out the train window, I wonder if you can see it too?
N: I’ll call you on my way home, thinking we haven’t talked enough.

Both:Ah, this phone call across the night sky connects us,
Even though the two of us are far away.
Ah, there’s nothing I really want to talk about,
This is enough for me, I just want to hear your voice.
(Whoa whoa,)
K: No matter when,
(Whoa whoa…)
(Whoa whoa,)
N: No matter where.
(Whoa whoa…)

statice

Masuyama Takeaki (M) and Chiba Shouya (C )

M:You don’t have to worry about those things,
So forget about it right now.
C:Watching you from behind, as you walk, I see you trip over the past we can’t turn back upon.
M: It won’t sway me,
C:I want you to believe me.
Both: I want to hold you close, so much that it hurts.

Passionate memories flow through my heart (flow through my heart)
Can you feel it? Our feelings are the same.
C: Let’s double our happiness,
M: And halve each other’s pain;
Both: Our future will definitely be sparkling.

All lyrics are completely by-ear so I’ll go over the full versions when I get the CD!! My only notes for now: arthur and tasuku’s second english line actually sounds more like “i’ll be welled up” (???) to me, and the flower meaning of statice (“sea lavender”) is “remembrance” :“)))))

Come on a my cafe

Ghost (CV. Hatanaka Tasuku), Skeleton (CV. Yashiro Taku), Mummy (CV. Enoki Junya), Frankenstein’s Monster (CV. Lounsbery Arthur)

All: Welcome, customer!
(Oh yeah!)

Hatanaka: When lunch was about to end,
Enoki: An unfamiliar lady came in
Lounsbery: We whisper amongst each other, exchange glances -
Yashiro: Have your menu, and a blanket

Hatanaka/Lounsbery: So the coat you were using as an umbrella fluttered and flew away
Yashiro/Enoki: And right before our eyes, your water glass drops down on you

All: Come on at my cafe more, I want to make you smile
And make you forget the bad things in daily life
It’s okay to be selfish right now,
Anything you wish for, I’ll make it come true somehow.

Lounsbery: You watch curiously, marveling at the
Enoki: Poisonous mushrooms standing on top of your pasta.
Hatanaka: Looks fresh, isn’t it? That’s today’s recommended – WHOOPS!!
Yashiro: A waiter’s bone gets added in.

Hatanaka/Yashiro: The apprentice’s fingers are transparent and he can’t pick up the bone,
Enoki/Lounsbery: The chef covered in bandages is smiling, the one covered in scars stands quietly

All: Come on at my heart, I faithfully promise
That I’ll definitely take care of you
I have faith in my service, this place is rated 3 stars
My heart overflows when I see such happy smiles

Hatanaka: You seem nervous, looking around so much,
Lounsbery: Hey, what’s the matter?
Yashiro: Approaching you slowly, looking at you intensely,
Enoki: I wonder if your stomach’s already full?

Yashiro: I’m glad I got to meet you,
I want to serve you more, though

All: As an apology for messing around,
We’ll make you a cake next time, ok?

Come on at my cafe more, I want to make you smile
I made you forget the bad things in daily life, didn’t I?
You say “I’ll come again,” and smile,
I wave goodbye until your figure disappears - let’s meet again!


MYSTIC SECRET

Grim Reaper/Death (CV. Nogami Sho), Wizard (CV. Kousaka Atsushi), Werewolf (CV. Masuyama Takeaki), Vampire (CV. Chiba Shouya)

Chiba: To the midnight feast,
Masuyama: I welcome you, my lady.
Nogami: Where might you be going?
Kousaka: There’s nothing to be afraid of.

Nogami/Kousaka: The screams of the dead are BGM
As the spirits play “trick or treat”
Masuyama/Chiba: If you’re lost, we’ll give you snacks
As the tables sway suspiciously

All: Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up
You’ll get bewitched if you won’t eat up, don'tcha know?
What kind of intentions lie within these deep red lips?
The curiosity in your eyes is brighter than fear.

Masuyama: Curses or poisons or magic,
Nogami: There’s none of that in there.
Kousaka: Doesn’t it look delicious? Won’t you have a taste,
Chiba: And put it in your mouth?

Masuyama/Chiba: The moment you gulp it all down, your entire body
Screams out “trick or treat”.
Nogami/Kousaka: It’s better if you don’t know,
Because once you open the door of secrets, you can never go back.

All: Mystic secret, hurry up if you want it,
The secret behind your return gift
What kind of emotions lie in front of those trembling eyelashes?
The moon peeks down on us, from between the clouds coiling around it

Chiba: Won’t you give me some of your secrets?
Masuyama: One, two, or three would suffice
Nogami: Won’t you give me some of your troubles?
Kousaka: Every last one of them–

All: Mystic secret, let’s talk it out, and I’ll solve it for you
So give thanks for this solving magic

Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up,
In that moment before your tears fell,
What kind of intentions lay within those deep red lips?
There’s no need to worry tonight, just sleep deeply,
Fall asleep, good night.

???: “Good night.”

  • duet -  ダブルスターライト  (Double Starlight)

Come now, we’ll guide you
So smile, believe in the string of possibilities, and face tomorrow.

  • Nogami Sho - Make up lip

This is just a coincidence, but it’s already fate
Everything about you has become something I want to know

  • Yashiro Taku - Two Steps

Even if you hear me asking “Where shall we go today?”
I already know, like I know everything else about you.


This took so so long I’M SORRY BUT FFS THAT RAP Full translated lyrics for all songs under the cut!


duet -  ダブルスターライト  (Double Starlight)

As we aim to be the brightest star
(Go up to the stage!)
We go journey up to the very end
(It just started now)
My heart is burning

The unfolding future
(No, nobody knows)
Is uncharted, new history
(Singing like a star)
It’s time for everything to change 

We want to show you the greatest passion
Sometimes, it just comes from love and dreams

Step into love, we can’t let go (Yay!) of our bonds with you (Say!)
That’s right, we’ll show you (Hey!) the two sparkling starlights(Yes!)
Until the very end
(Raise up the starlight, light that never dies)
Of the world
(Double starlight emerging from the darkest night)
We want to convey these feelings in two-part duet

Come now, we’ll guide you
(Going my own way!)
So smile, (We are walking on)
Believe in the thread of possibilities, and face tomorrow

There are dreams we want to come true,
(Catch a dream and love)
So there are also times when
(Sometimes we must fight)
We clash and collide

If we’ve always wanted the greatest experience,
Then putting this in song is better than words,
Let’s use courage and hope.

Get back true minds, we won’t get lost in
Small (Yay!) things like pride (Say!)
Break the cycle, we are starlights(Yay!)
Shouting until our voices go hoarse (Yay!)
If you gather
(Starlight scattering like fireworks)
Our heartbeats
(Double starlight colliding with passion)
Time shall tick away in lightyears

The wish we’re aiming for
Is what links our sky to you.

Step into love, we can’t let go (Yay!) of our bonds with you (Say!)
That’s right, we’ll show you (Hey!) the two sparkling starlights(Yes!)

Get back true minds, we won’t get lost in
Small (Yay!) things like pride (Say!)
Break the cycle, we are starlights(Yay!)
Shouting until our voices go hoarse (Yay!)
Until the very end
(Raise up the starlight, light that never dies)
Of the world
(Double starlight emerging from the darkest night)
We want to convey these feelings to you.


Nogami Sho - Make up lip 

How long has this been going on?
Oh, please, please tell me
Because I just want to know you better,
I get you, I get you, that’s all there is to it

You’re scared to say how you really feel,
So if you want to feel like you’re someone else, then,

Here’s a secret palette, it’s magic!
I’m not lying, this is for real!
For the sake of your honest smile,
I’ll always be by your side.

Put some makeup on your lips,
Take a look, it really suits you
You’re tinted in pink, so cuz of this, [go on,]
Yes, just the way you are.

We’re together everyday,
So if there’s anything bothering you, please tell me
And when you’re crying,
I’ll cheer you right up.

This is just a coincidence, but it’s already fate
Everything about you has become something I want to know

Here’s a secret palette, fantastic
This is just for you, soul lipstick
So that you’d be able to say your honest words,
I’ll always be by your side.

Take over the world,
If you run away it’s game over
I’ll softly make those lips of yours pink
And always be by your side.

Don’t be afraid,
Don’t pretend [to be anyone else],
Adorning yourself and playing a part are two different things,
Whoa…

Here’s a secret palette, it’s magic!
I’m not lying, this is for real!
No matter where, I’ll be by your side,
For the sake of your smile.

Put some makeup on your lips
Take a look, it really suits you
(“You look good.”)
You’re tinted in pink, so cuz of this, [go on,]
Yes, just the way you are


Yashiro Taku - Two Steps

Even if you hear me asking “Where shall we go today?”
I already know, like I know everything else about you.

Through this path with the wind blowing,
If we walk at the same pace, our gazes will intertwine.

The clear colors of the world
Started changing because of you
I wonder what my eyes looked like when I noticed it?
I just noticed when I looked down [at you]

(You and me,)
With your voice, the way you act towards me right now,
(Going now, the two of us talking,)
Let’s chat more, so we can get to know each other better, shall we?

I want you to tell me about anything,
So let’s go somewhere a bit further today.

If you’re happy, then these sceneries
Will always become good memories

We are the many-colored pieces on the path we chose to go on.
The lights of the world have gathered here to dance.

(Shining heart)
As we innocently laugh together
(I’m feeling, as I talk with you,)
Let me stay next to you forever.

That’s right, let’s go make a miraculous time
[What you were saying] just now, can you let me hear it?
Because it’s all precious [to me].

The clear colors of the world
Changed to make way for a bright future
My heart can’t stop beating
I just noticed this while I was looking at you

(You and me,)
With my voice and the smile on my face right now,
(Going now, the two of us talking,)
Let’s chat more;
If you wanna get to know each other better, let me know

(I want to chat)
(I’m feeling I want to know you more and more,)
(I’m feeling, let’s go walk together, ah)

  • note on double starlight: yes, there were part divisions. no, i am not indicating them. the way the lines are split up, part-dividing this in english makes no sense, ESPECIALLY when they have random english bits sprinkled in (the ones i left in italic) so, yeah. sorry boys, i tried

Come on a my cafe by Ghost (Hatanaka Tasuku), Skeleton (Yashiro Taku), Mummy Man (Enoki Junya) and Frankenstein’s Monster (Lounsbery Arthur)

Welcome, customer!
(Oh yeah!)

Hatanaka: Moments before lunchtime’s about to end,
Enoki: An unfamiliar lady comes in
Lounsbery: We murmur to each other and exchange glances
Yashiro: Here, have the menu, and a blanket

So the umbrella you were using fluttered and flew away
And the water glass in front of you clattered down?

Come on at (yeah!) my cafe more,
I want to give you smiles
And make you forget (whoo!) the bad things everyday
I’ve give you this, (yeah!) today (say!) it’s okay to be selfish

No matter what you wish for, I’ll make it come true

MYSTIC SECRET by Death (Nogami Sho), Wizard (Kousaka Atsushi), Werewolf (Masuyama Takeaki) and Vampire (Chiba Shouya)

Masuyama: *werewolf howl*

Chiba: To the midnight feast,
Masuyama: I welcome you, my lady.
Nogami: Where might you be going?
Kousaka: There’s nothing to be afraid of.

The screams of the dead are BGM
Echoing “trick or treat”
If you’re lost, we’ll give you snacks
While the tables sway suspiciously

Mystic secret, come, come, hurry up
If you won’t eat, you’ll be bewitched
What kind of intentions lie within these deep red lips?
The curiosity in your eyes is brighter than fear.

Ahh, this update got delayed so much, sorry about that…
It’s already 2018.
Last week was “Nekorobi Danshi”.

Together with our guest Yashiro-kun, who I’ve been indebted to when it comes to 8P, we had a fortuneteller tell us our fortunes for this year.

2018 (Comprehensive)
5th place: Kousaka Atsushi

To the polite and excellently practical Kousaka Atsushi-san

Someone with good intuition, a fertile imagination, who works for the sake of his peers and the people around him.

It seems that a lot of things that didn’t go well have happened, and have made you sulk.
However, as the years pass your real abilities have taken shape, so do your best.

Your life may seem irregular, but somehow, a resurgence…
If ever you wanted an answer to something this year, don’t rush to come up with a conclusion immediately.

If you ever get tired of listening to people and stuff, go keep some distance from them.

Your lucky item is red pants. Ah, that means underwear.

Fifth place out of five people, huh.
The message seems to be “hang in there” so I’ll do my best.
If I don’t get to buy lots of red underwear soon…

Atsushi will always be behind the cats…

This is a translation of Animate Times’ event report of the October reading event by 8P (Eight Piece), a seiyuu project by  Hatanaka Tasuku, Nogami Sho, Yashiro Taku, Enoki Junya, Lounsbery Arthur, Kousaka Atsushi, Masuyama Takeaki, and Chiba Shouya. Full translation can be seen under the cut!


Hatanaka Tasuku, Nogami Sho, et al’s “8P (Eight Piece)” holds a reading event! This is a report of their reading drama and talk parts!

Last October 14, 2017, the young male seiyuu project 8P(Eight Piece) had its reading event in Tokyo Yomiuri Hall.

8P(Eight Piece) is a project comprised of Hatanaka Tasuku, Nogami Sho, Yashiro Taku, Enoki Junya, Lounsbery Arthur, Kousaka Atsushi, Masuyama Takeaki, and Chiba Shouya. In this event, the continuations of the four reading dramas that had been broadcast on Animate Channel as part of 8P Channel 2 - whose theme songs had been released, one pair at a time, starting June 7, 2017 - had been performed.

In the afternoon session, they had Hatanaka and Chiba’s Lament Song to the Moon and Enoki and Masuyama’s Hachigaku! On the other hand, this report is about the night session, which had Lounsbery and Kousaka’s The Rose Garden and Nogami and Yashiro’s Starlight Stage!

Lounsbery and Kousaka play the main characters in The Rose Garden - Meiji Chapter.

The curtain opens on the reading drama The Rose Garden - Meiji Chapter. At its very center are Kousaka’s young man Reese and Lounsbery’s vampire Ewan; the story spins a tale out of the painful bonds of Reese, who passes over from the Meiji era to the current age, and Ewan, who yearns for Reese’s blood. Kousaka was able to portray the fear and distress of someone being struck by a vampire through his gestures and expression. Lounsbery uses a dainty, fragile expression as he portrays Ewan, who had been rejected by Reese, who struggles with his own immortality. Playing the characters surrounding Reese and Ewan are the other six members, bringing the story to its climax.

As the story comes to its end, Lounsbery and Kousaka move to the front of the stage, their cloaks trailing behind them. Sweetly, heartrendingly, and from the bottom of their hearts, they sung the theme song of their drama, the duet fate ~A Forbidden Scent~. Illuminated by penlights in their associated colors blue and sky blue, the hall had a magical ambiance to it. With their singing voices and choreography, Kousaka and Lounsbery were able to portray the frustratingly close and yet way too far mutual distance between Reese and Ewan, once more bringing their audience to tears.

Replacing the two of them, Masuyama and Enoki step on the stage, as the MCs. They call the six other members back to the stage for the talk part! As everyone, wearing black suits and a necktie with their assigned color, greets the audience again, Chiba, in his black suit and white necktie, quips “I just came from a wedding,” leading the other members to jealously blurt out “That’s unfair!” as their laughter rolls off the stage. And then Lounsbery, when asked about the song he just finished singing, says “It’s because it’s a pop song, it’s not like the the usual ‘go! go!’ music we usually do…” pretending he didn’t use that kind of word before on 8P, only to burst into laughter as soon as he’d said it.


The night session’s MC were Masuyama and Enoki.

Everyone steps onto the stage in their matching black suits! In a complete 180° from the reading drama which brought the audience to tears, the eight of them made everyone laugh during the talk part.

Once more, the talk part works off of the theme decided upon. The theme shared with the afternoon session was “lines which left an impression,” leaving Kousaka and Lounsbery to both ask “what were you saying back there again!?” to each other. Also, they talked about “things we don’t wanna stop doing no matter what,” and the inside stories behind the production process of their event goods.

In the second half of the event, the story of hot-blooded young man Reo and cool Kai unfolds, as they become closer to their dream of being top idols. Yashiro portrays earnest, cheerful Reo with a strong confident voice. On the other hand, Nogami, who plays Kai - who had taken up idol work to settle the discord within his family - is generally cool, sometimes passionate. Aside from Reo and Kai, there are two other characters who gradually cause trouble for them. The other six play their stubborn rival (CV. Lounsbery) and Kai’s younger brother Shougo (CV. Chiba), as well as the other characters supporting Reo and Kai, headed by Masuyama, on the stage, further adding color to the drama.

And then, Nogami, in his pink cloak, and Yashiro, in his yellow cloak, jump into singing their duet song “Double Starlight”. As they fill the halls to full capacity with their pink and yellow penlights, you can feel being wrapped up in the fans’ enthusiasm. With the way they held eye contact and their flawless dance steps, just like the idols they portrayed, they were able to charm the audience.

The two, passionately, confidently singing the theme song to their reading drama, “Double Starlight”.

Once more the eight of them head to the stage, to talk about their thoughts about the reading drama and duet song. Yashiro says, “The yellow and pink lights were beautiful. I always wanted to see them, but…when I’m dancing with this cloak in the way, sometimes I see it, sometimes I don’t…”

Coming from the theme “I’m really curious about this thing!”, the talk came to be about the “senmu” (lit. ‘senior managing director’) character played by Kousaka. From the start, “Senmu” had been a pet name 8P has been using as they got closer to Kousaka, leading to the audience murmuring amongst themselves and giggling when it was also the name of the role he was playing. During the time they were taping the first part of (the drama) for broadcast, the members also talked about the shock they had when they found out “Senmu (Kousaka) is gonna play a ‘senmu’!?” Also, they said that, on the script, the parts said by the managing director were erroneously marked with “Kousaka”, leading then to imagine “So could it be the character is actually him?”

During the talk theme of “a goal you’ve accomplished recently,” to Hatanaka’s goal this year, “I don’t want to forget anything,” Enoki confessed, “To be honest, I forgot to wear my belt today…”, and the 8P members then talked about stuff they easily forget! After that, Masuyama sums it all up by saying “This is the goal of all 8P members, I guess.”

image

They say their final words to the audience one by one. Hatanaka spoke fervently: “It’s a reading stage, so we had lots of thoughts that we wouldn’t be able to fill up a small theatre. But to see this many people assemble and seriously watch (our show), makes me very happy, as an actor.”

Nogami: “I had fun playing roles we don’t normally play, singing together, and getting to challenge various things. And I think that it’s all thanks to all the members altogether, and to everyone who came to see us.” Kousaka expresses his utmost gratitude: “For this 8P event, we just have a serious drama, so I wondered if it’ll be okay since all we ever did up to this point was stupid things, so I became uneasy… And because of that, when it’s about 8P I always feel a feeling of accomplishment that’s a little bit different from what I usually feel as a seiyuu or as an actor, and I’m really grateful for it.”

Lounsbery: “There’s solos we haven’t done yet, like for example (the in-show project) "Road to the Circus” (lol) If it’s for 8P, I’d like to see it.“ Masuyama: "Today we’ve been bonded by the confidence we have as part of 8P, and I think we’ve found our own challenges. We don’t know what’s in store for us yet, but from here on out we’ll keep on challenging ourselves, so everyone, please wait for us with excitement." 

At the very end, the eight of them sung "FULL VOLUME!!”, and, in the middle of all the multicolored lights, it felt like they were united. As they jumped and linked arms with each other, the eight of them singing with their smiles conveyed feelings that were worth more than words.
