Taishou Guuzou Roman: Teikoku Star Vol. 1 Seishirou Disk 2
Seiyuu: Sakurai Takahiro
TRACK 6
Recently the Rokumeikan
(T/N: It’s literal meaning is the “Deer-cry Hall” which was a building
symbolizing the westernization of Japan during that period) is opening an
evening party a lot. It seems the people here don’t care at all about the slow
economy after the World War. Huh? That’s? Why is that women…. Hey, you… Why are
you here? I’m asking how a commoner like you is here at the evening party
opening at the Rokumeikan. Really? You got an invitation as the owner of the
Daiteikoku theatre? Hn, you really came to place that doesn’t suit you. Of
course I got invited here. More importantly, where is your partner?
[1:06]
You came here
without a partner? You don’t even know that that’s embarrassing. Although it’s
troublesome, I can’t let you be. Give me your hand, do as I say. Now, lady.
Please give me your hand. What are you standing still for? Hurry up and hold my
hand. Do you not understand? If the Daiteikoku theatre’s owner just stands
there without a partner, people would laugh. If you don’t want to get laughed
at, listen to me. Today, there will be the Teikoku Bank’s director and
merchants so don’t make any mistakes.
[2:03]
Isn’t this Sir
Morimura? How have you been doing? Hey, stop with that stoic face. Greet him
properly. I’m sorry, it seems like she didn’t know that she would get to greet
you so she’s nervous. You’re so humble. It’s also an honour for me to greet
you. Yes, then I’ll see you later. I shall wait. Oi, when you greet someone at
a place like this, smile more naturally. What was that face before? You
couldn’t even say hello properly. This is troublesome. There’s a lot of people
here. Let’s go next to the wall, follow me.
[3:06]
Quite a sight.
At this time, when there’s people out there having trouble due to the economy,
look at these people. Hey, adjust your posture. Since you’re wearing shoes that
you’re not used to, everyone can tell that you’re awkward. But, can you, I’m
asking just in case…. Can you dance? How pathetic. With the skills you learnt
from skill, it’s obvious how you’ll dance. Also it’s worse when you were formal
clothes that you’re not used to. It would be a problem if you make a mistake
while dancing as it would ruin the reputation of the theatre. If someone asks
you to dance with them, reject them, okay? Don’t catch other people’s
attention, okay?
[4:06]
Ah, you guys?
It’s been a while… Yeah it’s the first time after I quit the military school.
But why are the military in a place like this? You’re here to patrol, so that
means there’s another riot? Ah, me? I’m… I’m currently working as a Teikoku
Star at the Daiteikoku theatre. …Yeah, you guys are great for fighting for the
sake of the country whilst endangering your own lives. An actor wouldn’t
endanger their life… But, but I am proud of my life. You guys have no reason to
laugh at me. You’re wrong! I didn’t go downward in life! I still haven’t given
up my life as a soldier! I just! You guys… You guys… made me fall. No matter
how much I tried, I couldn’t achieve my dream. I just fell to the ground… Huh?
Owner? Owner! Hey, where are you going whilst holding my hand?
[5:54]
To drag me to
the middle of the ball, what are you planning? What? You want me to dance here?
It’s an order as the owner? You’re suddenly so full of yourself. Stop talking
nonsense! If I dance with you, people would laugh. Also… to tell me to dance in
front of them… Are you doing this on purpose? Huh? Oi! I never said I was going
to dance! Did you just step on my foot? Are you trying to embarrass me? Stop
lying by saying you’re not! You don’t even know how to dance. Yes, I’m
different to you. Because I’m the first star of the Teikoku Star, of course I
can dance. I can make everyone in this place stare at me in awe. That’s why I
should dance? So I can show it… to them?
[7:12]
Are you, by
chance, mad because they were making fun of me? Hn, how childish. Do you think
they would shut up if I show my skills to them? But… fine, I’ll join your plan.
Hey, take your hand off. Do you not understand? I can’t dance while you’re
hanging on me. You’re not even ready, also at times like this, the man is
supposed to offer the dance first. Now, Lady. Shall we dance? Your hand, please.
Do not look down. Adjust your posture. You’re the one who started it first, are
you trying to make me embarrassed? Keep eye contact and continue to smile. You
said that you’d show the skill of the Teikoku star, right?
[8:36]
Don’t think
about anything, relax your body and leave it to me, okay? Mm, okay. Very good.
Look around, everyone is speechless looking at our dance. Well that’s expected
from a Teikoku star. Yes I’m…. a star. I have a life as a star. Hn, I didn’t
say anything. More importantly, I need you to act as a suitable partner for me.
This is what it’s like to dance with a star. It’s a turn soon. Don’t step on my
foot.
[9:44]
Hahaha, follow
me well. Even if you’re a beginner, I won’t be easy on you. Haa, I can’t
believe there’s a woman that would drag a man to dance. Don’t you think that’s
lame? But, it wasn’t that bad while dancing. Even though the only thing that’s
a bit off is that you were my partner, its fine I guess. Hn, what? You look
relieved but I haven’t forgotten about your disrespectful actions before. I
shall give you a punishment so be prepared, but not now.
[10:47]
Those soldiers
were from the same year in school as me. There’s nothing to be surprised about.
Military boys’ school. In this period, if you’re a boy, you dream to be a
soldier. Just looking at my house’s status, I would’ve easily become an
officer. Hn, I know what you want to ask. I bet you want to know why I’m on
stage instead when I wanted to be a soldier, right? Isn’t it obvious? I wasn’t
fit to become a soldier because I lost eye sight in my left eye, no, my eye
sight was taken away from me. Did you thought that I was born with a blue eye?
No, my eye turned into this disgusting colour. I got picked on a lot and it
turned blue when I lost my eye sight. Why are you so surprised? You lack
creativity. Can you not tell by one look? I’m not a purebred Japanese. My
mother is an English person. And a person like me applied to become a soldier
to sacrifice my life to the country. How do you think the people around me
looked at me like?
[12:24]
Simple, they would
curse towards my appearance as it didn’t fit a soldier, and they would assault
me. I didn’t even do anything… It wasn’t only my colleagues. My superior also
disliked me and would assault me. And once, whilst he was whipping me… he hit
my left eye… If ordered to die for a colleague, a soldier would die without any
hesitance. Questioning stuff was not allowed. The life of a soldier was
everything to me. You could say that that was only thing I had. That was what I
held pride but… my only pride, dream was taken away. The horrible assault, the
taste of blood and the scars on my body was fading. When I regained
consciousness, I was looking at the ceiling of the hospital.
[13:40]
My dream life
was taken away because of how I was born. No, such life did not exist for me in
the first place. I realized my feelings were coldly dying. But, I am alive
here. Because the owner before, my uncle gave me a new life as a star. Why are
you so surprised? I can’t believe you didn’t even know that while you were with
me the whole time. Hn, I talked too much. Forget about all of this by tomorrow.
Since the evening party is ending soon, go home now. Go rest early.
[14:45]
What do you
still have something to say? You’re going to protect the theatre? Hn, I’ve
heard this so much it’s annoying now. Whatever, that’s your dream so do what
you want. Unlike me, you can still achieve your dream. Then, see you tomorrow
at the theatre.
[15:32]
Hey! Why is it
so noisy? It’s so loud I can hear it from outside! I thought there was a riot.
It was on the newspaper headline before, right? That stuff were stolen from the
department store. What a chaotic world. Since it was so noisy, I thought that
this theatre was also under attack. Thank god it wasn’t. Then is it right to
say that something else was under attack? Hn, it was a call from a noble asking
for the theatre’s registration certificate… Good timing, give it to me. You
trash! Don’t ever call again! Our Daiteikoku owner has no intention of giving
it to you! Why are you staring? Shouldn’t you at least say thank you? I didn’t
expect you to actually say it… I didn’t do it for you anyway. I just dislike
noise, since I can’t concentrate. Also if I leave it to a woman like you, you
might do something ridiculous. You know too right? How important this theatre
is to me… So I can’t leave it to someone else.
TRACK 7
Anpan (T/N:
bread roll filled with anko) in your right hand, and lemonade in your left.
Owner is always working hard. Huh? There’s quite a lot of lemonade left. It
would be hard to sell the rest of this. What, why are you being suspicious of
me? Ah, you’re worried that I might do something to you. Hn, just watch. Hey,
the ladies over there! Would you like some lemonade? Also, how about some
caramel anpan with the lemonade? On a special day like today, you should really
try this out!
[1:01]
Then with this
it’s really the end. We sold quite a lot. Hn, it wasn’t like I was trying to
help you. By the way, can you give me a glass as well? I’m quite thirsty. It
tastes good. Do you want some too? What’s the matter? There’s no need to
refuse. I’ll help you drink. Hey, if you run away it’ll spill all over. Even if
you spill it on your chest, I’m not going to lick it. I won’t give you the
bottle, and it’s alright you can empty this bottle soon.
[2:10]
Since I’m giving
it to you directly, why don’t you drink it more gratefully? Is it the first
time drinking it straight from someone’s mouth? I can tell that you enjoyed it
just by looking at your face. Ah, I can’t hear you properly. Shall we go since
we have to prepare for the evening performance?
[2:51]
Ah, owner! You
came at the right timing. I was trying on some costumes. Since there’s a new
play starting this autumn, I thought I should start practicing whilst wearing
the costume. Huh? Owner, you’re going to pick out the costume for me? Then I
look forward to your assistance, owner. This jacket? Then I shall try wearing
it… What the? It’s a flower patterned jacket? Woman’s wear? Ah, stop right
there owner! I can’t believe the owner just made fun of their own actor. You
chose this on purpose, right? To make fun of me like that, what are you, a
child? I’ll make you regret later. By the way, this costume doesn’t look good
on me at all. Hahaha… Haa, really.
[4:23]
The play will
start soon! Is everyone ready? Owner? Are you okay? What’s the matter? What?!
Who came?! Unbelievable… How?! Why would those guys come? Did you say they’re
rare customers? How are they even customers? Those military soldier bastards.
Why did they even come here? After knowing where I worked from that evening
party, did they come to mock me? They also brought the superior officer… Was
taking away my eye sight not enough for them, so they came to take away my
living? It’s starting..!
[5:45]
Isn’t it you
fa-father? How have you been doing? Please leave the next war to me… I shall definitely
win….
Damn it, why? I
can’t speak properly… I’m not sure where to look at… The play hasn’t finished
yet… but why? Why? Don’t talk to me!... I’m not in the mood to play with you…! By
saying that they’re on ‘patrol’, they were all standing in the first row, and
it seems they still dislike me. Laugh all you want, you peasant owner! To this
theatre, I’m only a hindrance right now, since I’m an actor that can’t even
stand on stage properly. Am I… going to lose it again? Like that time? Why
can’t this world just leave me to live my own life? Shut up! You don’t
understand! This is my problem! Leave me be! Can you not hear me? I said leave!
I am…!!
[7:29]
…You, a
commoner… How dare you hit a noble… A Teikoku Star! What? My dream? I have no
dream anymore! Because I lost it with my left eye! It will never come true! My
new dream? Now, my dream… as a Teikoku Star… The dream for me right now… yes,
it is to shine… on the stage… in this theatre… Yes, I cannot lose a first
star’s light due to something like this! This theatre is my everything… haa..
For a commoner to lecture me, you’re quite a bold woman. Yes, this is my, a
Teikoku star’s, stage! The lights went off. The second act is starting. I
should go now. You stay here and look over me. I’ll be back.
[9:40]
Ahhh, what a
tragedy. Already, everything in this whole world has become our enemy. What is
the meaning of resisting whilst being oppressed, humiliated and to bleed? I
would rather be stabbed with a knife so I could be free from all this pain…
but, I cannot do that. Because I can never leave you here.
Thank you for
coming! Please come again next time! Ah, thank you for everything. Please come
again. Ah, sergeant, it’s been a while. I truly thank you for coming to this
Daiteikoku theatre. Please, come again, I shall be waiting.
[11:20]
Oi, you. What
are you doing just standing there? You look dumbfounded. We haven’t finished
our farewells yet. Stop fiddling. Let’s go.
Hm? Ah, it’s
you. Even though no one’s here, for a person who’s not even an actor to come on
stage, what a shameless woman. It was the first time for my colleagues and
superior to come. They shouldn’t be interested into me who was depressed and
lost the dream as a soldier, but they came all this way just to mock me. They
must have quite a lot of free time.
[12:17]
The past is
something that people wish to erase, but cannot be erased. I became a first
star, and I arrived at this dazzling place. I became a perfect star. The
dejected past, no longer achievable dream, and this left eye that changed
colour, it feels like all of this was not there in the first place. But that’s
not true. It felt like the fear of losing my only one support kept following
me. I can never forget those days when I lost my reason of life and was
dejected. My uncle was the one who led the empty me to this world, my home
Teikoku Star. Then appeared a weird woman who was now the new owner of the
theatre and kept on talking about dreams. Could a commoner woman really protect
this place? Will I be losing my home? If that did happen, I would really die
this time is what I thought. But what happened was the opposite. You taught me
the meaning of life. To continue to shine as a Teikoku Star, that is my… dream.
[13:57]
Now no one can
break my dream. Hn, I shouldn’t have shown you the backside of the stage,
anyway it is all just boring stories. I’m a star. Right now, and also from now
on, and forever, I will be a proudly, shining First star of this Daiteikoku
theatre. This dream… allow me to make it come true. Don’t just nod. Hn, whatever.
I’m going to return home now. But before that… I’ll take you to your worn out
house. Don’t misunderstand, this isn’t for you. It feels bad to be in debt to a
commoner. No wait… You, the commoner, should say ‘Please take me home, Master
Seishirou’. Hey, hurry up. You lack respect. You’re stuttering. Hn, you really
are bad at acting. Hurry up and get ready. Don’t make me wait.
[15:34]
To ride in the
same car as you, I’d never imagine this to happen when I first met you. You
said that your dream was the same as the owner before, my uncle’s dream, right?
Do you like plays that much? What was your favourite performance then? What? My
performace? Even if you’re trying to flatter, I won’t change my view on you,
idiot. You were humiliated be me, but you still say that my performance was the
best, huh. Hn, I know that I was too harsh. Of course, since I did it on
purpose.
[16:37]
Yeah, say
whatever you want. Generally, people with bad personalities have better acting
skills. What was so funny about that? Really, what kind of education did you
receive whilst growing up? I also never thought that I would share such a
conversation like this with someone else. But… It’s not that bad. I wonder why…
To think that I would accept myself this honestly… It’s strange. To think like
this it… might be thanks to you. Th-thank…
[17:43]
What was that?!
An attack?! Is there a riot?! Damn it, those soldiers! How is this patrolling?!
They aren’t helping at all?! Hey, are you okay? This won’t do, we can’t use the
car anymore. Let’s run! Be careful! Ah! I’m fine, so let’s go! I only got hit
on the back, it’s nothing though! Run!
[18:40]
Hey, you okay?
You’re not hurt, right? I see… Are you shaking? Don’t worry, it’s alright now.
Have you relaxed now? I wanted to take you home, but the way to your house was
too dangerous. But it’s still dangerous to just stay outside like this. Hn,
we’ve got no choice, let’s go to my house. It would be dangerous for a woman to
stay home alone when there’s a riot going on. Spend the night next to me,
alright?
TRACK 8
Sit anywhere you like, I’ll get the tea ready.
You don’t need to apologize. Don’t try to act strong now. This is my house, you
don’t need to get scared… so don’t cry. Hn, you were just shaking and now you
are nodding your head so confidently, but it’s best if you rest now. Follow me,
I’ll show you the bedroom. This is my room, and I made the maids leave. Use the
bed and whatever you want. Why are you being so hesitant? Is a bed really that
interesting? It’s okay so get in.
[1:32]
Ah! How bold of
you to hug me first. Even though you say it’s because of the thunder, I wonder
what your true intentions are… haha… Ugh! Don’t hug me too hard! No, it’s just
because my back hurt a bit. Since I got hit in the back before, I probably got
a bruise. Don’t make such a face, I’m used to this. Because during when I was a
soldier, a bruise was nothing. Why do you look like you’re going to cry? I
don’t understand you. No, you don’t need to treat it since it’ll get better
after time. I told you its fine. It’s not a big wound. Ha, you’re so stubborn.
Fine, so I just need to show you my wound? If you see how small it is, then
you’ll also accept that it’s nothing.
[3:01]
How is it?
There’s nothing wrong with my bones, and there’s no blood, right? This bruise
is fine. Ugh! Just because I said its fine, doesn’t mean you can touch it! This
is the punishment for touching it. Since you made me hurt, now we’re equal,
right? Or, do you want me leave a red bruise on somewhere else? Hn, of course
I’m the same as usual, so you don’t need to worry. You finally accepted it. To
make a relieved face that obviously… By the way, to take off a man’s clothes
forcibly… what a naughty woman. Plus this is my room… Did you really think that
nothing would happen to you?
[4:20]
Don’t look at me
with eyes filled with tears! Perhaps, are you actually trying to seduce me?
That’s not what you’re doing? Hn, that’s stupid. That’s what I should say. To
have feelings like this towards you, I didn’t intend this to happen… Lift your
head… Before when I was on top of you like this, you resisted so hard… Am I
still that scary? Really?
[5:29]
To think that
the star of this capital would do something like this to a commoner… I never
thought this would happen… Hey, don’t turn your head. Look at me. You’re so
stubborn. If that’s what you’re going to do… fine. Then, here I’ll… The lips
aren’t the only place where I can kiss you. What if I lick here?
[6:29]
Don’t squirm
like that. Was it that good? The inside of your mouth is already so hot. Your
lips are wet, it excites me… What are you hesitant about? It’s not that you’re
just embarrassed? Why are you hesitant? Hn, to say that after you came all this
way… Yes, you certainly are a commoner that only wears cheap clothes. But so
what? That doesn’t matter. Move your hand. I can’t do as you request, because I
want to see you as yourself closer than anyone else. You made me say these
words, so do as I say. Don’t worry, with these hands… I’ll be nice, okay? The
reason you live on… I’ll teach you tonight.
[8:09]
Your white skin,
it’s turning into a peach pink, it’s erotic. Don’t cover your mouth with your hand.
Let me hear you properly…Really? If you’re still going to cover it then fine.
I’ll test you to see how long you can resist it. Hn, don’t look at me with
those eyes… I won’t be able to control. How about here? Be more honest. Already
you’re starting to make noise. Is this your limit? You’re not convincing at all
if you look at me with tearful eyes. I can tell that you’re shivering when I
touch you.
[9:31]
What, do you
have something to say? If you’re going to say stop, I won’t listen. You want to
see my left eye…? It’s not even something good to see… This is just something
disgusting. Hey, don’t touch my hair on your own… Hn, fine if you want to see
it then do it. You’re the only weird person to say that this wound is pretty.
Do you look up to me that much? You like me that much? Who agrees just like
that?! To seduce me more by something cute like that, I won’t be responsible
for what’ll happen next.
[10:46]
Next is here. Do
you want more? Then say it yourself. Hn, if you say so then I shall. What?
Don’t say you don’t want it now. Now, since you said it, just accept it. You
should kiss me first. You can do it, right? Just do it like how I did. Do you
think I’ll let you escape? I’m not going to let you go until you do it
properly. Now… Huh? Hey, I have no memory of me kissing you like this. I never
told you to lick the lips.
[12:27]
I just showed
you an exemplar so you try it out. Um, not bad since I got to see that face of
yours. That voice, very good. I want to listen to it more. Now, put your arms
around my back. Stop being hesitant, but not bad. Come closer. I thought you
were just an ignorant woman… but you’re so lovely now. The difference in
status, it doesn’t matter anymore. Now, hold my hand tonight. Let us be
together until the sun rises.
TRACK 9
The thunder that
struck the night, the endless rain, and the cold outside that contrasted
against the heat inside. That night, we were connected. However, that destined
day had come. Year 1923, September the first.
The weather’s
not very good nowadays. Yes, there’s lots of black clouds. I wonder how many
customers would come. Really? I guess that’s fine. Yes, you will also be
looking at my performance from the front. You could only watch from the back,
right? Look with those eyes and remember properly how I perform. Like how you
looked at me that night…. With passionate eyes. Then I’ll be back.
[1:30]
I believe that no
matter what obstacles there may be, there is always a ray of light at the end.
The reason why I kept on going forward even though people would verbally
assault me or give me such pain... Is because I could meet you.
Ah what? What's
this? An earthquake? Owner!!
Ugh.... the fire
is spreading too fast. Oi!!! Where are you? It's already too dark here yet my
eye is... Damn! Can you hear me?! Who's there..?! Owner!! You're here thank
god! Let's talk later and get outside. The fire has already spread out here. Where's
the exit? Don't cry! I'm here with you! I'll never let you die.
[3:01]
I truly want to
be with you. I'm not lying. I like you, no love you. I finally realised that my
life is to shine at your theatre but how come...?! You also feel the same as
me? Hey! Don't close your eyes! You said you loved me right? Look at me! Oi
what's the matter? Oi!! Did she inhale too much gas? Why... Why does something disappear
as soon as you believe it's yours? Why do I also lose something that I want
more? If we can't live together then at least you should..! I refuse to die
together. You didn't watch till the end right, my performance from the front.
Watch it! Don't leave my side.
[4:31]
Hey hey! Oi,
it's me do you recognise me? Get a hold of yourself. Ah that's good. You were
sleeping for two days. How's your body? Anywhere hurt? Is that so? That's good
then. This is my room. Well although it's a mess it's enough to avoid the rain
and wind. Theatre? Let's go look at it later. What I can show you now is...
Okay, understood. Then I'll also go and see.
[5:38]
See, this is the
capital. It's quite a mess. There's nothing left in town. The Daiteikoku
theatre too. It's exactly as you see. The theatre has fallen, just leaving its
structure. It looks like a skinless big creature. If I was one second late
bringing you out then both of us would have died. To protect the theatre... It
was a short-lived dream. Hey, don't cry. Yeah, it was a precious promise with
an important person and a dream to you. I know how painful it is to lose
something precious. Because the theatre was also a precious home to me that I
didn't want to lose. Stop crying. The theatre is broken but.... So what?
[7:08]
Even though the
theatre is broken your dream hasn't right? We can always make another stage! The two of us... I'm a first star that shines
this capital. A star that guides the dark night sky. When this period becomes
darker that is when I need to shine stronger. That is my life and dream as a Teikoku
star. While I'm alive I can't lose it. As long as every one doesn't give up on
life this capital can be built again.
[7:56]
Yes let's build
it again. A theatre as wonderful as the opera house. Let's make another stage
there! If it's the two of us we can do it! Now lady, take my hand. Live on together
with me. No matter what happens in the future, please stay with me. I swear to
love you for eternity. Will you accept me? Hn I will never forget those words.
I shall continue to stand on the stage and I shall walk forward with you, the
owner. As the first star who lights up this capital.
Thank you for your translation ><~
ReplyDeleteIs it weird to be treated like a servant while you are the owner? Anyway, I forgive for all he had done after he fed me (me?) lemonade. >\\\\< aww
You're welcome ^_^
DeleteI guess Rejet just loves to make the listeners to be treated bad by all the guys in their CDs.
Ah, yes the lemonade part made me blush because of his sudden change in attitude! >< (By the way I think it's totally okay to use 'me' since I also like to think the main character is myself as well hahaha XD)
