【MITSUKI】: But, I've always been thinking. Just in the back of my head, though.


【TSUMUGI】: Mitsuki-san, thank you for all of your hard work!
Tomorrow is finally your birthday, isn't it!

【MITSUKI】

【MITSUKI】: Having a birthday sure is great!
We're gonna keep doing MTK Strengthening Month up until the end of the month, right?

【TSUMUGI】: Of course!

【MITSUKI】: Awesome
【MITSUKI】

【MITSUKI】: Everyone, they're listening to whatever I say!

I had Iori call me "onii-chan" for the first time in a while w

【TSUMUGI】: Waah...! I would've liked to hear that!

【MITSUKI】: I'm getting Tamaki to clean his room every day! We're doing it with a stamp card.
If he finishes early like a time attack system, he gets 3.
【MITSUKI】: With that guy, when there's something like that he sure works hard! w

【TSUMUGI】: Tamaki-san is very fond of games, after all!

【MITSUKI】: I want Sogo to be more comfortable on variety, so I made a harisen and gave it to him. He's in charge of smacking whoever I point at over the head!

【TSUMUGI】: I'd like to see Sogo-san smacking people over the head with a harisen! LOL

【MITSUKI】: After he hits them with the harisen, he'll bow and say please excuse me, so it feels more like a Buddhist monk's training w

【TSUMUGI】: It's that kind of Zen scolding, then! LOL
What sort of request did you make of Nagi-san?

【MITSUKI】: I'm always going along with his cosplay, so I had him cosplay this time!
【MITSUKI】: Here, it's a picture!

【TSUMUGI】: Nagi-san looks so cool......!!

【MITSUKI】: He sure is cool—! I had my friend, who's a beautician, do his hair!
【MITSUKI】: With Nagi, more than videos, he looks way cooler in still images. Of course, I like him more when he's moving around!
【MITSUKI】: I had Riku take me to his house!
I couldn't meet his dad, but I met his mom! She was so pretty and young that I almost couldn't call her an auntie!

【TSUMUGI】: She's Riku-san and Kujo-san's mother, after all!

【MITSUKI】: It's because I wanted to meet them properly at least once.
I told them, I'll be taking custody of this guy! Riku got kinda embarrassed for some reason w

【TSUMUGI】: Even though it's your birthday, Mitsuki-san, there's quite a bit that's for everyone else!

【MITSUKI】: That's 'cause, when everyone is having fun, it's fun for me, too!

【TSUMUGI】: Now that you mention it, what did you ask Yamato-san for?

【MITSUKI】: Yamato-san didn't count
【MITSUKI】: He wouldn't listen to what I asked—. Even though it's my birthday, he's a stingy bastard.

【TSUMUGI】: Is that so. . . What sort of request was it?

【MITSUKI】: I said, I want to meet your family, Yamato-san.

【TSUMUGI】: Did he become sullen......?

【MITSUKI】: He didn't
【MITSUKI】: He made a bitter face and laughed. That's why, I said it was fine.
In exchange I had him take me out for a drive.

【TSUMUGI】: I'm glad...!
But, now that I think of it, today, didn't you get into a quarrel with Yamato-san backstage?

【MITSUKI】: It wasn't anything like a quarrel. We met an acquaintance of mine from long ago.

【TSUMUGI】: One of your acquaintances was present, Mitsuki-san?
I'm terribly sorry I couldn't greet them properly...!

【MITSUKI】: It's fine! He was on the same program as us, as a backup dancer for another artist.
That guy, he was one of my classmates at the lesson hall I went to a long time ago.
【MITSUKI】: I was never really that close with the guy at the time, but he went and said something lightly and sarcastically.
【MITSUKI】: Yamato-san got angry when he heard it, so I was trying to calm him down.

【TSUMUGI】: By sarcasm, what exactly. . .

【MITSUKI】: When you're blessed with members it sure is nice that you can sell well even though you can't dance.

【TSUMUGI】: What's with that. . .
【TSUMUGI】: That's awful! I can't believe it! I absolutely won't forgive that!!

【MITSUKI】: Well, but still, it's just like he says. I'm only able to be an idol because of the other members!
【MITSUKI】: Something like an appearance at BorW, it would've been totally impossible if it were just me.

【TSUMUGI】: That's the same for everyone else, too.
Because you were there, Mitsuki-san, there are members who were able to continue working without losing heart partway through.
【TSUMUGI】: This is not something an outsider who knows nothing has the place to butt in on!
[1]: Mitsuki-san, it's okay for you to be angry!
[2]: Of course Yamato-san would be angry!
[3]: Were the other members.........



【TSUMUGI】: Mitsuki-san, it's okay for you to be angry!

【MITSUKI】: But still, I can understand how that guy feels. He's someone who'd worked hard, too.
【MITSUKI】: Thank you, manager. Sorry for bringing up something weird. I might've been feeling a bit down over it.

【TSUMUGI】: It's absolutely fine!
Please let out the bad things and forget about them. Tomorrow is your birthday, after all.

【MITSUKI】: But, I've always been thinking. Just in the back of my head, though.
【MITSUKI】: I wonder, aren't I just excess baggage for the other members?
【MITSUKI】: I'm super happy my dream of becoming an idol came true!
I'm getting a taste of this ultimate feeling for the first time!
【MITSUKI】: But still

【TSUMUGI】: Mitsuki-san?
【TSUMUGI】: Mitsuki-san, are you alright?

【MITSUKI】OK :-)
【MITSUKI】: We have succeeded in the kidnapping of Mitsuki. It is a bit ahead of schedule, but let us begin.

【TSUMUGI】: It's Nagi-san, is it!

【MITSUKI】: I am always your manservant of love, but for tonight, I am the tour conductor, Nagi Rokuya.
【MITSUKI】Let's party!



【TSUMUGI】: Of course Yamato-san would be angry!

【MITSUKI】: That old fart, he's got a surprisingly short fuse. The other guy was getting freaked w

【MITSUKI】: I don't think they heard it, but I was arguing with Yamato-san in a loud voice, so. They might have a sense of it.......

t/n:

1. about the title: in jpn it's MTK強化月間; mtk is a way of abbreviating mitsuki's name by syllables (Mi/Tsu/Ki), 強化 means "to enhance" or "strengthen", and 月間 just means 'during or for a month', basically. so tl;dr it's Mitsuki Party Month

2. I talked about this a bit on twitter (I talk about a lot on twitter) (and a lot of it was regarding this chat), but please take a moment to consider these two facts:
a) "mostly everything mitsuki is asking is for the other person's sake"
b) his request for iori was "call me onii-chan"

Have U Considered

3. a harisen is a paper fan! since mitsuki made it, it Better Frickin Be Cute

also mitsuki says that he's making sougo tsukkomi whoever he points his finger at which is Pretty Wild and even wilder to translate, so I made it a bit more literal, but what's literally happening is mitsuki is trying to train sougo to be a tsukkomi

4. how do I talk about buddhist practices in english

5. after mitsuki says that sougo's tsukkomi is more like a buddhist monk (because he bows his head and apologises after smacking someone w/ the fan), tsumugi says it's the "喝!" thing, which is apparently an "exclamation used to shout practitioners in zen"

6. Ok, So, in jpn usually it's polite to refer to other peoples' parents as ojisan/obasan (uncle/aunt or older man/older woman), so in this case mitsuki is saying he could not meet ojisan but he did meet obasan and it's implied and fairly conclusive that he's talking about riku's dad and riku's mom (I'm squinting at the wow I didn't meet his dad stipulation tho), and then he goes on to say that riku's mom is so gorgeous that he couldn't call her an obasan (older woman)

so yea

that's a thing

7. pls go back to t/n 2 and consider also: mitsuki asking to meet yamato's family in point b)

8. I'm sure there is something to be said for paralleling mitsuki's and yamato's experiences with their 知り合いs (yamato's would be from pythagoras' unit chats)

9. this is only marginally related but have you ever thought about mitsuki's presence being the thing that tied iori to idolish7 at first, and the thing that invested iori in i7's success? nobody really likes to talk about the izumi bros scouting situation much bc it feels kind of unfair/uneven, like mitsuki only got added in because iori made an ultimatum, and so mitsuki is only in i7 thanks to iori, but? if you think about it, it's the same for iori; iori's only in i7 because of mitsuki. idk there's probably a lot to be said about the way that branches out but it's kind of interesting how you can flip it like that and the way the situation sounds when it's phrased in those sorts of terms

idk I'm tired

10. I hate nagi oh my GOD (I don't hate him but) I was so nervous like Did Something Happen To Mitsuki, Was Something Bad Happening To Mitsuki, Why Did He Stop Responding, Oh My God It's Nagi, Did Nagi Have To Intervene Because Something Bad Was Happening With Mitsuki,

and then nope

we're just starting his party lol

I hate unnecessary drama give me back the stress and tears I shed for this!!!!!!

11. you can tell it's nagi btw bc he spells mitsuki's name in katakana! and, well, because of the :-)
