hi im sorry im actually so sick i just read kuguri’s novel and i am so so so ill like I CANNOT STOP CRYING PELAESE IM PISSING OUT TEARS WHILE WRITING THIS anyways im here to ask a little question cuz im kinda stupid like the accident that happened in ch4 what exactly was it like did the roof break or… im sorry ik that the accident is a little ambiguous but i figure you have a better idea of what happened bc you tled it + you’ve probably thought about this an unhealthy amount anyways tysm for your tls they’re always so fun to read!! <3
- ty for reading my tls i love tling everything and anything kuguri related
- the incident is intentionally left vague in his novel/mainstory, but the general consensus at the moment by jp fandom is a theory (which is the most likely) that the stage ceiling collapsed </3

Do you ever think about how Raito probably reminds Kuguri of Frederick in his looks? because I think about it often and it drives me insane
its the first thing i noticed while translating kuguris novel KJSDHF it started out with a description of frederick and i was like. "oh! so thats whykjhsf"

Serious question how well do you think Kurugi is at Mario party
idk if kuguri would be interested enough to play SFDHKF maybe he'd watch but like. hypothetically if he Does play i think he's cruelly good at it by complete chance like he'll be barely winning minigames and being like "hehe i meant to do that"

hiiiii sorry if this is a big ask but i didn’t get nanaki sr and im currently neurotic about this story and need to analyze kuguri’s expression during every sentence so i was wondering if it was possible for u to screen record it or if anything just the last scene in the first chapter 🥺 no subtitles needed or anything… also completely fine if not i know u are busy also thank u so much for always tling everything for us insane kuguri oshis
hi anon! i unfortunately didnt get nanaki either, so i had my friend screen record for me! heres the drive link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11M_1KnoWc34qrp-vQQ1l6etP0yNzzdEV

raikugu anon from long time ago…! what about now have you translated the e3 story or is it well known enough for me to hear about raikugu’s dynamic frm you now ? I barely see raikugu fans 😓💔
i can talk about them sure why not KJFHS im not really good at describing what i think sometimes but one of the main things i enjoy about raikugu is like. raito mentioning how kuguri never hides any ill intentions or hostility from him which is Huge from a character like kuguri who is generally very secretive and Not At All open. i just think theyre crazy theyre sooo wild JSHFDK also canon gun fight scene in mainsto side a thats already enough to have me like . aaa

hi !! i was wondering if there was any platonic / romantic ship you liked with kuguri ? keep up the translations theyre always so fun to read !!
thank you anon! i'm glad you like my tls <3
as for ships... raito and kuguri are a classic duo they're very crazy to me KJFSDH i like platonic kuguri and chihiro i think the hc that they paint their nails together is super cute KJSHFH

in the beginning of kuguri's novel he's 17 but by the end he's 18, does that mean his birthday passed while he was alone in the hospital? 😭😭😭 kugurinu.......
ohhh that's so sad to think about... i still can't believe we're going to have his novel voiced...

anon!
1730730753758
Sorry if you are tired of the enstars topic, but do you think you'll ever tl there if your interest comes back? It's okay if you aren't, I still support your current endeavor!
yeah! if my interest in translating for enstars comes back, i'll translate :3

I feel like there a lot talk abt from kuguris trained ssr like from the literal straitjacket hes wearing to just the whole setting... ive rlly wanted to see an analysis of it!! Im not sure if the creatures are butterflies or not, but google said white butterflies are a sign of deceased loved ones...
sorry this response is late anon, but youre absolutely right! i've been thinking of making a breakdown graphic for it or at the very least just bulleting how i interpret it, but his ssr is truly so good i love it so much.

im not sure if this is asked before but what first attracted you to kuguri?
his design mostly was eye catching i have like. the exact moment i was interested in him screenshotted HDKHD then i read his novel and card stories and the rest was history. now i’m here HKDHDK

Hello! I wanted to ask since you know a lot about Kuguri, but I'm a fanfic writer and I wanted to get some characterization tips? Like how he talks or acts?
OH BOY okay okokokok SO ill just go point-by-point
- if it is one (1) thing about kuguri that you have to take away from this answer its that he Does Not Talk Like Sakuma Rei From The Hit Game Ensemble Stars. KJHDFSKJFHSDK that is the biggest mistake anyone could make with his charavoice
other than that:
- kuguri is not formal with his speech hes really lax, teasing, etc but he wont ever say please KSDJFH this is like super important he is incredibly self confident and doesn't enjoy being "beneath" anyone. if that makes sense.
- his speech also isn't very complicated or dramatic in a casual setting. like he'll reference specific things (ie: liszt's pieces or the theory about the oyster shell), but the most he'll ever be is vague about something
- he addresses everyone in the cast by their first name even those older than him (the only exceptions being ev3ns/chief bc he has nicknames for them)
- kuguri doesnt like being told what to do (he straight up says so in ev3ns mainsto side a)
- kuguri is acutely aware of who interacts with him physically as well as when and how
- he can get really passive agressive KFDJSH he's very snake-like with how sharp and fast he is with being mean
- only stays in places if (1) he absolutely has to and (2) it interests him enough to stay.
ofc ill go into more detail when i inevitably post my kuguri brain vomit KJFHD i hope this helps anon if i think of anything else i'll follow up KDSJFH

survey anon again!! thank you for responding, and it’s super cool that you also like bittersweet sixteen side-b (I love it so much), and the Muneuji SSR. he’s not my favorite character but somehow it looks really good. Tao’s novel is also so so good and it propelled him up my favorite character list
and ofc ivory and shall we travel 😭😭 they are so underrated. I have nothing to ask lol but thank you anyway for the reply!
day2 kids have a nice little place in my heart, especially nanaki and kiroku KJHFDS i'm glad you enjoyed the survey anon it makes me happy that people were interested in the responses :3
anon!
1728829585871
hello thank you for releasing the survey results!! loved seeing what the fandom liked vs my own interests (damn my tastes are unpopular)
if I’m not overstepping, what were your responses for the survey if you did it? please feel free to not answer/disclose certain questions if you don’t want to. thank you!
KFJKHS this is a nice surprise i didn't expect someone to be curious about my answers /pos
- rank: 57; ive been here basically since launch
- i'm a translator, translation proofer, story fanatic, and merch collector (i also feel like a librarian since i keep careful track of who translates what SFKJH)
- my favorite unit is obviously ev3ns, kuguri is my kamioshi, and nayuki is my favorite conductor (live laugh ev3ns)
- my fave hamasaki sibling is momiji, and my favorite NPCs are yunyun and kodama.
- i don't really have a favorite KOBE mayor since i don't know much about them DKSFH
- my favorite songs are scarlet scars, ivory, and shall we travel
- my favorite initial ssr is muneuji's, and my favorite gacha ssr is ushios ayakashi card :3
- my favorite main story section is all of chained up scarlet, and i also really like day2 side b
- sand sculpture of the heart and ayakashi parade are my two favorite event stories so far, tho i really like mistery under a moonlit passage too
- my favorite novels are kuguri, ushio, and tao's :') they are quite the emotional rollercoasters
- last but not least, my favorite sr stories are all the ukiuki paradise sr initials (their interactions are super funny) i don't quite have a favorite ssr story fave yet SFKJDH
thank you for the nice question anon KJSDFH

hi I’m the survey anon no rush!! and I’m sorry if it seemed like I was rushing you bc I didn’t intend to 🙇🙇and the votes for event story being close isn’t unexpected but I’m still so hyped! not sure where else to ask but do you know if shuunin (both Kaede and Momiji) has a confirmed age? I saw an artist say that Kaede is 24 but do you know where they got it from? thank you!
no worries anon! i'm actually really happy that you're excited for the poll results :3 as for kaede and momiji... i don't think their ages are explicitly stated anywhere? though theres a couple of things that hint at their ages as far as i know:
- they have to be old enough to drink
- kaede is older than momiji
