Round.4
Strict Command: "Don't drink beer! Drink water!"

97
p1
Maaan~~~ It was a success...

p2
Don't you mean a huge success!?
The crowd got so damn worked up...
//For sure, this'll make a good impression on the producer too!

p3
At first, when Ricky-kun froze up, I was worried about how it would turn out, but...

98
p1
What’s up with that!? That last solo you played with your teeth like Jimi Hen ♥
//It was a good place to get it on too!
Don't tell me, you planned out the pacing of the whole live in advance...?

p2
Yeah... A strategist on par with Koumei!!
tl note: Koumei = Japanese reading of Kongming, style name of Zhuge Liang, a renowned strategist in Chinese history
nb: Nahaha...
Yo! A brainy rocker---!!
Although I was just trying to cover up for a mistake

p3
Huhu... Men do look good after they've completed their job ♥

p4
Ciao ♥
Ta... Tamejiri-san!!
We were just about to head out to the hall...

99
p1
I'm truly sorry for forcing this on you so suddenly, after so many years
With no contact... But thank you very much!

p2
He... Hello! I'm Nakamura Kouichi, bass!
I'm Asai Tsukasa, drums!

p3
Huhu... Kou-chan and Tsuka-chan ♥
It's fine... Don't stiffen up so
Do that only in bed ♥

100
p1
You two are really quite cute~~~ ♥
//How old are you?
nb: Oh my, what a fine body ♥
nb: Oh my, such a pretty face ♥
tsukasa: Both of us are t... twenty
kouichi: We're in the same college...

p2
Ta... Tamejiri-san... Why don't you have a seat?
I have to rescue them quickly...

p3
So... Umm...
Can you be frank with us?

p4
Yes, frank... For an amateur band, you're on the right track, right?
In this era, a bold rock sound will be accepted with no objections
Besides, Kou-chan and Tsuka-chan... You both have some rough spots, but---...

101
p1
It's fine ♥ You have the charm!
How about you try work under my direction?

p2
Eh...!?
Th... Then?

p3
But as for Iwamaki-chan, it's a NO!

p4
Huh...!?

102
p1
riki: Wh... What do you mean, NO...?
riki: If I have to put it like this, both the music and the lyrics were written by me...
tame: True...

p2
When you were young, you were rough around the edges, but you also had charm
Even when things didn't go my way ♥
But right now, if I were to describe you in a word, it’s be...

p3
Half-assed?

p4
Well, compared to the past, your singing and music... your guitar playing, have all become very good
//But there are plenty of even better people in this world!
In short... As you got older, you've also grown smaller!

103
p1
What I want is a man with the charm that can attract people
Even if he lacks something or other, it's fine

p2
But you didn't live up to those expectations...

p3
I'm sorry, but you'll have to give up!

p4

104
p1
Kou-chan, Tsuka-chan... Before you end up drowned in a swamp like him
//Hurry up and work under me
I won't do wrong by you ♥

p2
I... I...

p3
I'm fine!
Even if I don't become a pro!

p3
I'll quit too!
tame: Wha... What are you saying? Don't rush, think it over!

p4
It's just that we have the confidence we can keep on living even if we don't become musicians
//Right?
I'll be a lawyer, and Tsukasa -- the second generation company president ♥
Besides, we really had fun when we got down to playing seriously with Ricky-kun ♥

105
p1
Y... You guys...

p2
But this is a big chance!?
Don't you want to become stars!?

p3
No matter how many times you ask, the answer's the same
Unless it’s together with Ricky-kun... We won't go pro!

p4

106
p1
Certainly...

p2
Certainly, Tamejiri-san, what you said might be true...
//I might sound lame... But when I tried to get serious this time, I've finally begun noticing various things

p3
But right now...
Right now I feel like I can turn into a new self

p4

107
p1
I'll do anything!
Please, just one more...

p2

p3
Ricky-kun...

p4
Please give me just one more chance!!

108
p1
Please, I beg you!!

p2
...One more...

p3
Eh?

p4
I said I'll give just one more chance!
But don't get me wrong! It's only because I want Kou-chan and Tsuka-chan

109
p1
You have one month!

p2
By then, make sure that you...
Completely flatten out that unseemly belly of yours!

p3
riki: M... My belly...
riki: You mean I should go on a diet...?
tame: Right! You don't have to worry about practicing your guitar, but at least try to look a bit more attractive

p4
Do you understand? This is...
Your last chance!!

110
p1/2

p3
Aw-riiiight~~! The teamwork wins---!!
You did it!
//Your enthusiasm was acknowledged, Ricky-kun!

p3
I'm hanging by a thread here...
nb: Ha...
nb: Haha...

111
p1
Hehe...
This is laughable

p2
Ha!
Ha!
Ha...!
I have to do stuff that has nothing to do with music
And yet I'm working so hard!

p3
I could make a new band
I could go to another record company...
There have to be other ways!?

112
p1
Well, I don't really understand it myself...
But ever since I got serious
I feel stra~~~~ngely good, for sure!

p2
If you think about it...
nb: Nuhaha
I've never had anything that I dedicated myself to!

p3
Laugh or cry, I have only one month...
I have to win through hard work at least once in my life!

p4
Aw-riiight...
I'll do it...

p5
I'll do it even if I die----!

113
p1

p2
Bueeeeh...!
I... I can't go on!!
//I'll really die...

p3
I... I have to run for 20 more minutes...
I'm...
//I'm pathetic...!
I need to cut down on smoking...

p4
Haa...
Haa...
Haa...
Hmm?

114
p1
...There was a gym in a place like this?
"Star", it says
//Hehe... It's a name that'll make you try harder ♥

p2
"Star", huh...
Haha... This certainly isn't a "star's" belly

p3
So it's a sports gym...
Yeah... It'll probably cost money...
And I've been taking time off work

p4
Humans are really weak creatures...
Unless there's some risk they can't avoid, they'll never force themselves
Maaan~~~...

115
p1
A peek...
I'll just take a peek?

p2
Hehe...
Let's see...

p3
Hmm?

p4
Why is he jumping rope in a place like this?
Strange dude...

p5
Umm~~~ Excuse me~~~~...

116
Eek...

117
p1

p2
Wha... What's this place!?

p3
Th...
This is a boxing gym!!?
