A Miracle Amidst the Roar of the Sea

Audience: Woaaaaah……!
Audience: Kyaaaaaa!
Nikaidou Yamato: Man, the crowd is really hyped up! Is alcohol allowed at the music festival or something?
Izumi Mitsuki: It is a beach concert, after all! There’s people who came here in their swimsuits! Ahaha! It looks so fun!
Izumi Mitsuki: It really feels like they’re going, ‘Let’s Summer!’
Takanashi Tsumugi: Good work so far, everyone! I apologize that this is happening so last-minute, but TRIGGER has switched placed with you guys with respect to performance order!
Nanase Riku: Huh!? So you mean we’re after TRIGGER now!?
Izumi Iori: Maybe they’re being more vigilant because you revealed the plan to them. Perhaps this is to avoid any strange song introductions….
Nanase Riku: No way….
Audience: TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
Audience: TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
Osaka Sougo: The crowd started cheering for TRIGGER the moment the last performer finished. Such enthusiasm!
Yotsuba Tamaki: Ah, TRIGGER’s going on stage–
Audience: Woaaaaah……!
Audience: Kyaaaaaa!
Yotsuba Tamaki: Agh, so loud!!
Izumi Mitsuki: Ahaha!! You can hear the crowd really well too thanks to the beach acoustics!
Takanashi Tsumugi: Oh? Gaku-san’s facing us and speaking without his mic. Is he trying to tell us something?
Nanase Riku: Huh?

Yaotome Gaku: –Nanase!
Yaotome Gaku: We’ll pass the baton to you.

Audience: TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
Nanase Riku: …Uh, what’d he say?
Takanashi Tsumugi: I-I couldn’t hear him!
Rokuya Nagi: ……!
Rokuya Nagi: OH……! This intro!
Izumi Mitsuki: ……!! It’s “Let's☆SUMMER!”
Nikaidou Yamato: They’re going for it themselves!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!!

Kujou Ten: –Sorry for the wait, everyone! Let’s shake off this heat and get more excited, shall we?
Audience: Waaaaaah…!!
Kujou Ten: “Let's☆SUMMER!” with TRIGGER!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!!

Anesagi Kaoru: Hmph. If I didn’t step it up after they said all of that, then I would’ve lost face as a woman. That’s all.
Anesagi Kaoru: Ugh, gosh. Look at me, smiling at these problem children. There’s really no helping them.
Anesagi Kaoru: It’s 34°C right now. If they get tired, I won’t approve! They better take this entire beach with them to paradise!

Audience: Woaaaaah…!
Kujou Ten: Here we go! It’s your favorite summer anthem! Are you ready?
Yaotome Gaku: Dance 'til you can’t stand anymore! With the sound of the waves!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: With the sun and the sea breeze on our backs, let’s sing it together!
Audience: Kyaaaaaa…!

Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Yotsuba Tamaki: Woah…. The crowd’s going wild!
Osaka Sougo: Of course they are! Everyone’s been waiting for this moment!
Izumi Mitsuki: Ahahaha! This is so fun! I’m having a blast and yet, I’m really tearing up….
Izumi Mitsuki: I’m so happy for you, TRIGGER! I’m so relieved, Nagi…. I’m glad they could smile and sing this song!
Rokuya Nagi: Yes! Very happy!!
Rokuya Nagi: Everyone’s singing Haruki’s song with a smile on their face! This is the best summer song ever!
Rokuya Nagi: I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU TRIGGER!
Nikaidou Yamato: Look at 'em go…. Man, they’re the best!
Izumi Mitsuki ・ Rokuya Nagi: Yay!!
Yotsuba Tamaki ・ Osaka Sougo: TRIGGER! TRIGGER!
Izumi Iori: I do wish he could’ve mentioned it to us, though. Both of of them are so obstinate…. They truly are brothers.
Nanase Riku: Ten-nii! You’re so cool!

Audience: Kyaaaaaa…!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Haa …. That was the best!
Kujou Ten: What do you think?
Yaotome Gaku: Isn’t it obvious? Nothing’s impossible for us.
Kujou Ten: Ahaha!
Kujou Ten: Not bad. Let’s go from there.
Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Audience: Encore! Encore!
Kujou Ten: Dance, IDOLiSH7. Just like you did on that day after watching us perform. Excite us with your performance. Stand up….
Kujou Ten: And make us proud.

Audience: Encore! Encore!!
Nikaidou Yamato: Man, they’re already yelling for an encore after one song?
Izumi Mitsuki: That just shows how much they like this song!
Rokuya Nagi: Yay! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

Audience: Encore! Encore!
Kujou Ten: Wanna hear it again?
Audience: Yes!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Kujou Ten: OK! We’ll have them sing it next!
Audience: Huh? “Them?” Who?
Yaotome Gaku: Those of you who watched the SoundShip performance might know already, but these guys love this song a lot too. Their ‘summer’ is pretty damn good too!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: We wanna hear them sing it again! Come on out!
Kujou Ten: Come on! “Let's☆SUMMER!”
Kujou Ten: –IDOLiSH7!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!

Nikaidou Yamato: What!?
Izumi Iori: So that’s how it is….
Takanashi Tsumugi: No way….
Rokuya Nagi: Are we going to sing it too? Awesome! You’re killing me! Let’s go! Come on!
Izumi Mitsuki: What is this, a festival!? I’m a teary mess, though….
Osaka Sougo: Is it really okay!? Isn’t this TRIGGER’s stage though?
Yotsuba Tamaki: They said it’s fine! We can’t stop now, with how things are going. Not when the audience wants to dance this much! We can’t kill their vibes!
Nanase Riku: Will we finally be able to sing our debut single…. in front of everyone?

Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Yaotome Gaku: Took you long enough! Get over here!
Nikaidou Yamato: Now you’ve gone and done it, surprising us like this….
Yaotome Gaku: Shut up, haha. Come on, the crowd’s saying hurry up and get ready!
Audience: Woaaaaah…!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Mitsuki-kun, here’s a towel! Wipe your tears!
Izumi Mitsuki: …Ah, my cover’s blown. I’m so embarrassed!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: We could finally sing it comfortably. After seeing you guys sing it so freely…. We could finally, finally sing it with all our heart!
Izumi Mitsuki: Tsunashi-san….
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Thank you.
Rokuya Nagi: Good. You don’t have to return this song to us anymore.
Rokuya Nagi: With Haruki’s song, we’ll become one! Now, let us become one!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Nanase Riku: Sorry this is so sudden, but hello everyone! It’s IDOLiSH7!
Audience: Kyaaaaaa….
Nanase Riku: Wow…. Everyone’s so excited! Ahaha! We won’t lose to TRIGGER! Just as the song goes, we’re the one’s who’ll win!
Audience: Waaaaaah….
Nanase Riku: Now, “Let's☆SUMMER!” with IDOLiSH7!
Audience: Woaaaaah…!

Takanashi Tsumugi: IDOLiSH7’s “Let's☆SUMMER!” is resounding all across the venue…!
Takanashi Tsumugi: The song that we lost is connecting so many people’s hearts right now, and came back to us….
Takanashi Tsumugi: IDOLiSH7’s version and TRIGGER’s version are the best!

Audience: Waaaaaah…!
Audience: Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Kujou Ten: What?
Audience: Encore! Encore!
Kujou Ten: You want another encore?

Nanase Riku: Okay, last one!
Nanase Riku ・ Kujou Ten: Now, with all ten of us!
Audience: Waaaaaah…!!
Takanashi Tsumugi: TRIGGER’s hit summer anthem, “Let's ☆ SUMMER! ”
Takanashi Tsumugi: Everyone knows that it’s a splendid summer song.
Takanashi Tsumugi: They all had fun singing it together with IDOLiSH7, beneath the glittering sunlight.
Takanashi Tsumugi: All ten of them had the best smiles on their faces!

The End.

TL Notes/comments:

** You can listen to + read the translation for the accompanying Natsu Shiyouze Drama cd here! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

I don’t really have any TL notes this time, just comments!

1. i hate romanizing crowd yeLLS it all looks demoniC
2. 16-5 is essentially the exact same as the drama track 1 and part of 3, but now featuring audience: [yells in text] and tsumugi+anesagi dialogue. there’s also an extra bit of dialogue in the story that leads into the drama cd! all of this is really nicely done (THANK U BAMCO) in that the story and CD partially overlap, but both still give unique experiences since each has something the other doesn’t have!
3. I’d encourage you to listen to the CD as well (U GET 2 HEAR REALTIME DIALOGUE THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME) because I did notice that the story cut out a couple of lines here and there, but also because riku and ten’s monologue and stuff in the CD provide nice internal thoughts, so its nice to see the same story from different view points! Good Times
4. in terms of officiality, i’d say the story dialogue (sans the lines that got cut out) are more ‘final’ and legit here, mostly because I got to look at actual text vs doing everything by ear, hence why some lines are partitioned differently from when I did the drama cd tl!
5. apparently i mistook ten for yamato in track 3 but i’ve fixed it now!! i did an intial fix-thru? of the drama tracks after ch 16 came out, but i missed that one LOL
6. i made other minor mods to my drama cd tl when i copypasted it into here and stuff, but nothing that would drastically alter your perception of the story, dw. mostly cosmetic changes!
7. QUICK HEADS UP, track 1 doesn’t seem to be working for me, so I’ll see if I can reupload the track to another MP3 hosting site (since the drama track itself is too damn large for tumblr:| gdi)
   EDIT: jk i opened the page in incognito and its working now… prob because of some of my extensions:V
8. Also, thank you so much for your patience! Here I am, posting a summer story right on the cusp of Christmas…… It took me until winter break to finally shake off the death grip of uni on my free time LOL but better late than never o(–<

As usual, if you see any mistakes/mistranslations/etc, please message me!

Thank you for reading!!
