Translator's Notes

pg. 10 - Nakajima's singing girl group Onyanko Club's famous 1985 song "Don't Make Me Take Off My Sailor Suit" Yes, you read that right.

pg. 11 - "Love Letter" was a 1989 single from the Blue Hearts. Nope, the author is not a Blue Hearts fan or anything...

pg. 14 - Here he's singing "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees. Well, he's actually singing a cover version by Japanese rock band the Timers - who had the same frontman as RC Succession - with different lyrics, so I substituted the English lyrics.
