Haruka: Ittoki-kun... // Ah...umm...cheer up...
Text 2: Uta no Prince-sama Yukihiro Utako
Haruka: You just happened to do badly this time...I'm sure that next time...
Otoya: What do you mean "next time"?! // If this was a real audition, there wouldn't be a next time!
Box: Otoya realised the difference between their singing skills...

Haruka: Ittoki-kun...

Tomochika: [Hey! Hey!] How did the test go? Haruka wrote your song, there's no way you didn't pass!
Masato: O-Of course I passed. / What about you?
Tomochika: Hehehe! I passed, of course!
In panel: [Tomochika] Getting the top grade is really different! The top grade! [Masato] Oh...?
Natsuki: I passed too~!
Tomochika: Ah...Nacchan!
Natsuki: I baked a cake to celebrate~ // Let's eat it together!
Page 2.
Tomochika: Hmm? // It feels really depressing in here all of a sudden...
Natsuki: Will you eat it with us, Otoya-kun?
Tomochika & Masato: He really doesn't understand the situation! / Pay attention to what's going on!
Otoya: I'm sorry, I don't have the right to eat that yet.
Tomochika: Ah...maybe I wasn't very considerate...
Masato: That's right...your punishment is to eat all of Shinomiya's cake!
Tomochika: Eww!!
Natsuki: Punishment?!
Page 3.
Otoya: We're not meant to be meeting up for another hour...
Haruka: Ittoki-kun... // I wondered if I could make some kind of plan for the test in two weeks... // So I came here a little early.
Page 4.
Haruka: You're coming to practice early too, Ittoki-kun? // Let's practice together then!
Otoya: I was always so proud... // I thought that my songs would be good if I believed they were. // But I was wrong. My singing was only as good as karaoke. // Even though I didn't want to, I realised that when I heard Tokiya singing. // At this rate, there's no way I'll become an idol like that person...
Page 5.
Haruka: That person? // Ah...I'm sorry, I asked a personal question.
Otoya: It doesn't matter... / It 's okay. Will you listen to my story?
Haruka: Y-Yes!
Otoya: I don't have any parents, so I was raised in an orphanage. // That's why I don't have many memories of my mom. // The only thing I remember was that she liked music / and she would often sing the songs by her favourite idols. // Idols give people dreams and hope, right? / Mom looked really happy when she was singing their songs...
Page 6.
Otoya: That's why I thought I'd like to become that kind of idol.
Haruka: I see! // So that's why your singing is so passionate!
Otoya: My singing is?
Haruka: Ah...yes! I understood your feelings completely! // I think that / even though you might not be as skilful as Ichinose-san, // your singing has heart.
Text: Heart...
Page 7.
Haruka: I think that's why even Ichinose-san couldn't stop looking at you.
Text: Tokiya...?
Otoya: But my recording was a mess... // Ichinose-san said that I wasn't even using half my ability that time.
Haruka: Just as I thought, he was acknowledging something about you. // Something that he didn't have... // I think that's your greatest asset.
Otoya: My...asset...
Haruka: There's no need for everyone to sing the same way! // You must have your own song.
Page 8.
Haruka: So how about we find it together? / Your song!
Otoya: Nanami... // Thank you...I'll try my best!
Haruka: Yes, let's try our best together!
Page 9.
Box: So we used as much of the remaining time as we could to practice together.
Otoya: Ah...the range is completely different from before! That's amazing, Nanami!
Haruka: I learned a lot of new things from reading books too... // But I think it's become even easier for you to express your feelings now.
Otoya: Up until now, I was just using my intuition to sing. / I understand that skill is necessary to express feelings after all. // Thanks, Nanami. I'm sure I just got discouraged because I was alone.
Haruka: That's not true...
Otoya: I'm glad I met you. I'm really glad I started attending this school.
Haruka: Me too, Ittoki-kun!
Otoya: Nanami...
Page 10.
Otoya: U-Umm... / If I pass the test... // No, never mind! I'll try my best in the test!
Haruka: Okay!
Page 11.
Ryuuya: Ah, he's changed a lot in two weeks!
Text 1: Ittoki-kun's singing is so carefree. He may not be as skilled as Ichinose-san, but he can captivate people with his singing.
Text 2: A song that makes you happy when you hear it.
Ryuuya: Following the written music isn't everything. He'll continue to change even more.
Natsuki: We've got to try our best too.
Masato: We definitely can't be careless.
Tomochika: Haruka, you're amazing! You stayed up late and helped!
Haruka: Thank you, Tomo-chan!
Tokiya: Skill is just a way of showing your feelings after all... / Which means that's what I don't have.
Page 12.
Otoya: What are you talking about? I wouldn't have been able to sing like this without hearing you sing. // You're amazing after all, Tokiya!
Tokiya: Otoya...
Otoya: Still, I don't have any intention of stopping yet! // I've got Nanami. // As long as I've got Nanami, I can aim higher! // Just you wait, Tokiya!
Tokiya: Yes...I'll look for it too... / My own song...
Haruka: Congratulations on passing the test.
Page 13.
Otoya: It really was thanks to you, Nanami.
Haruka: No, it's because your singing really was amazing!
In panel: I was fascinated! And...
Otoya: I didn't think I'd be able to sing like that. // Thanks, Nanami.
Text: Ittoki-kun's hand is warm...
Otoya: Nanami...your hand is so cold! What's wrong?!
Haruka: Umm...maybe because I was so nervous earlier?
Otoya: Were you nervous because of me?
Page 14.
Haruka: U-Umm...
Otoya: Hey...Nanami... / Can I call you something else?
Haruka: Eh?
Otoya: I want to...call you Haruka.
Page 15.
Cloud Text: You can't fall in love.
Haruka: Wow! The principal even watches over the students from the skies!
Otoya: I say it's more like he's checking up on them... [That was my chance...]
In panel: [Haruka] Chance...? [Otoya] Ah, nothing...
Otoya: Anyway, never mind about that!
Box: Everything's okay, right? Otoya passed the test and summer is finally here!https://mangahelpers.com/t/yukihito/releases/19233[English] [Translation] Uta No Prince-sama 2 by yukihito2010-01-26T15:32:07+00:00yukihitoadmin@mangahelpers.com02.
Box 1: The start to a new life!
Box 2: Just after starting school, I became the songwriter for these three idol candidates, / but the daily classes made me realise my weaknesses!
Box 2: Here we’re taught a lot of things, from specialist musical knowledge to our responses during variety shows.
Bubble: A story that surprised you recently.
03.
Haruka: Ittoki-kun, of course you can’t have mixed up cleanser and toothpaste!
Otoya: No, it’s true! // That indescribable, confusing impulse spreading through my mouth!
Tokiya: So it was you shouting this morning?
Otoya: Ah, Tokiya.
Tokiya: It’s not just that, you suddenly start singing in our room or reading manga and laughing loudly too…
Otoya: Uh…
04.
Tokiya: I’m warning you, don’t behave like a child in the recording room, you’ll just be trouble.
Otoya: Shut up! I get it!
Haruka: He looks just like him…
Otoya: You mean Hayato?
Box: Ah! Ittoki-kun’s roommate, Ichinose-san looks just like Hayato-sama!
Otoya: Apparently he’s Hayato’s younger twin brother. It’s tough being the younger brother of a super popular idol.
Haruka: Younger twin brother?! This is the first time I’ve heard that!
Otoya: They look just like each other, but their personalities couldn’t be more different…
05.
Otoya: I wonder what his singing // is like…
Text 1: That’s right, this school has a recording test.
Text 2: When they start school, a singer is given a set piece which they practice and the songwriter adds their own arrangement.
Ringo: The students who want to be songwriters submit a song and those who want to be idols record it on the day of the test. // The students who fail will be retested, so practice carefully!
06.
Box 1: We’ve been practicing the set piece since April.
Box 2: I’ve interpreted the melody in my own way and I’ve made songs for each of them.
Box 3: I’m sure it’ll be okay…
Ryuuya: Okay, I’m ready. Can the next student sing?
Tokiya: Alright, I’m next.
07.
Text: As expected, Ichinose-san is calm…
Ryuuya: You can only record once, so get with it!
Otoya: Eh? // Only once?! [Pros are amazing!]
Ryuuya: Of course not! // There are several recording styles, but in many cases, a song is created by joining the best performance of the A and B melody.
[Music sheet]
A Melody: The first melody that is heard. B Melody: The melody which joins the A melody to the hook. Hook: The high point of a song.
Ryuuya: That will also serve as the test this time. You only have one chance.
08.
Ryuuya: The turning point of the challenge is how much of your skill you can display in one go. // Okay then, let’s begin.
09.
Text 1: Amazing! His pitch and rhythm are perfect… No, it’s not just perfect...
Text 2: He’s making the song completely his own.
Text 3: His range of emotions, as well as the skilful balance of consonants and vowels…they’re all exceptional.
Text 4: But…
10.
Haruka: Ittoki-kun…
Ryuuya: As usual, your singing is completely perfect.
Tokiya: Thank you…
Ryuuya: Well, I wouldn’t buy your song though.
Text: Eh?
Tokiya: What do you mean…?
Ryuuya: Okay, next student.
11.
Otoya: Ah, yes!
Haruka: I’m sure it’ll be okay if you do your best like always, Ittoki-kun!
Otoya: Yeah…thanks, Nanami.
Text 1: Tokiya’s singing was pro standard…I’m no match for him at all.
Text 2: But sensei said he wouldn’t buy his song…
Text 3: Then what about me…?
12.
Tokiya: What did you mean? I didn’t pass?
Ryuuya: Hmm?
Tokiya: Just now, you said that you wouldn’t buy my song.
Ryuuya: Ah, I did say that… // That was just my personal opinion, there was nothing wrong with it in a technical sense. / You passed comfortably. // You don’t seem satisfied with that answer.
13.
Ryuuya: Well… // Your singing is too perfect. // There was not one mistake, just like a computer was using the music to sing.
Tokiya: So what’s wrong with that?
Text 1: I think that what Hyuuga-sensei pointed out is right.
Text 2: It’s a complete song, but it lacks heart for some reason…
14.
Ryuuya: Did you arrange this song?
Haruka: Ah, yes.
Ryuuya: It’s still unrefined…but you have style. // Compared to that, he’s only using half the skill he usually does.
15.
Ryuuya: Ah, he’s shaking from nervousness. His impatience is showing in his voice. // He’s the complete opposite of you.
Tokiya: Of course.
Ryuuya: No, it’s not like that…Nanami, you understand, right?
Haruka: Eh?! // Ah, yes…kind of…
16.
Tokiya: So?
Ryuuya: You understand it a little, don’t you? // That’s why you’re listening to Ittoki’s recording instead of leaving right away. / Show a little impatience too.
Tokiya: Well, I…
Text: Ittoki-kun…
Box: How will Haruka react to Otoya’s worried expression?!https://mangahelpers.com/t/yukihito/releases/18534[English] [Translation] Uta No Prince-sama 1 by yukihito2009-12-25T12:31:05+00:00yukihitoadmin@mangahelpers.comMerry Christmas everyone! :3

Haruka: Ah…
Page 8.
Otoya: She fell really badly!
Masato: It’s only the first day and she’s already late…
Natsuki: That looks like it hurt!
Page 9.
Text 1: Mom…Dad…what should I do?
Text 2: On top of being late to the opening ceremony, I stood out like this…
Shou: I should be the one saying that!
Ren: Too bad! Just a little more and I could have seen something!
Tokiya: People will doubt your integrity. Have some self respect!
Page 10.
Text 1: I was sure I’d always wanted to overcome my misfortune and lack of presence…
In panel: [Haruka] Let me treat your wounds…
[Student 1] Nanami’s not here…where’d she go? [Student 2] Was she being stealthy? [Haruka] Umm…I’m here…
Banner: My beautiful (?) life.
Text 2: This development…
Text 3: was too unexpected!
Text 4: Of course it’d happen!
Haruka: Anyway, I’ve got to apologise…! // I-I-I-I’m…
Page 11.
Saotome: Alright, alright…what’s the matter? [Go and sit down.]
Haruka: Ah…
In panel: [Haruka] I’m sorry… [Saotome] I get it…
Saotome: It seems like this’ll be another interesting year…
Text 1: I did that
Text 2: just after entering the school…
Page 12.
Text 1: Ah…if there was a hole, I’d jump into it!
In panel: Shame
Text 2: At this rate, I feel like school life isn’t going to be any different…
Otoya: Hey…what are you doing?
In panel [Haruka] At this rate…
Haruka: Ah…I thought I’d jump into a hole…
Otoya: What are you talking about? // You really are interesting!
Page 13.
Text: Ah…what a brilliant smile!
Otoya: Anyway…are you alright? You fell pretty badly…
Haruka: Ah, yes…I’m fine.
Masato: Ah, you’re the one who was late this morning. // I see that we’re in the same class.
Haruka: Yes, I’m sorry.
Masato: Don’t be so afraid. Here, you dropped this.
Page 14.
Haruka: Ah, thank you.
Natsuki: That embroidered cat on your handkerchief is cute. // As you would expect, its owner is also lovely.
Otoya: Hey hey, you’re flirting with her all of a sudden…
Natsuki: It’s cute, so what’s wrong with saying that?
Haruka: Having this many people talk to me at once
Text: has never happened before…
Page 15.
Ringo: Okay~ Sit down everyone~
Otoya: No way! Our homeroom teacher is Rin-chan!
Ringo: That’s right~ ♥ // I’m Ringo Tsukimiya, the homeroom teacher for Class A! // Feel free to call me Ringo-sensei!
Natsuki: [Ah] You don’t even look like a man up close!
Ringo: There’s no stubble left! ♥
Page 16.
Text 1: The national idol Ringo Tsukimiya is a very popular male idol right now!
Text 2: That Ringo-chan is our homeroom teacher!
Text 3: What an amazing school this is!
In panel: Ah! It’s so bright it makes me dizzy!
Ringo: Don’t get so fascinated that you faint!
Haruka: O-Okay!
Ringo: Alright, I’ll give you a simple explanation of the school. // I think everyone knows this, / but Saotome Academy is a performing arts academy that operates a one year system, with the aim of training idols.
Page 17.
Ringo: The recording studio / and the live stage // It’s not just that we have complete facilities, just like the real thing, / the teachers are all active idols.
Student 1: Hey! I bumped into Ryuuya Hyuuga just now!
Student 2: Eh? That means Ryuuya is a teacher here too?
Text: I was confused this morning, so I didn’t realise…the teacher this morning was...
Ringo: That’s right, he’s the homeroom teacher of the elite class, Class S.
Page 18.
Ringo: If your grades are good enough, it’s possible to be recruited by the Shining Agency when you graduate, regardless of which class you started in.
Student: [Alright!] Then I’ll become Ringo-chan's underclassman!
Ringo: I wonder... // Only those who complete the year having developed their natural talents well // will finally gain entry to the Shining Agency... // And only one pair will be able to debut straight away.
Page 19.
Otoya: One pair...?
Ringo: That’s right, a singer is meaningless on their own. // There's a melody and lyrics together... // which makes a song, then the singer can perform the song for the first time...
--
Ringo: So, in addition to idols, this school also trains songwriters. // The songwriter considers the artist and creates a melody, // then the idol knows the feelings with which the songwriter created it. // But I think you’ll develop more outstanding talents than just writing and singing songs.
Page 20.
Ringo: So... / For one year, the singers and songwriters will pair up, aiming to be pros! // You’ll also pair up at the graduation audition to challenge each other, so it’s very important!
Text 1: Graduation audition...
Text 2: Choosing only one pair at a school where even competition for a place is high...
Text 3: Winning is impossible unless you make the greatest song...
Ringo: Well, before you choose your partner, everyone introduce themselves! Page 21.
Ringo: The first one will be that energetic boy there! ♪
Otoya: Alright! // My name is Otoya Ittoki and I’m 15 years old! My birthday is the 11th of March and my blood type is O! I’m hoping to be an idol! // My hobby is singing! // I did it in one shot!
Natsuki: Okay, I’m next~
Page 22.
Natsuki: My name is Natsuki Shinomiya. My speciality is cooking and I’m also hoping to be an idol. // I’ll make some sweets next time, so please don’t hesitate to try them!
In panel: Ah~ Even though I was thinking of singing...
Masato: Getting overexcited is shameful. // My name is Masato Hijirikawa. I’m hoping...to be an idol... // My speciality...I can play...the piano...a little...
Text: Hijirikawa? As in Hijirikawa Corporation?!
Page 23.
Text: Ah~ Everyone aiming to be an idol is so handsome!
Ringo: Okay, next is the girl who's surrounded by all those flowers!
Haruka: Ah...yes! // Ah... // Umm... // I’m…Haruka Nanami...I want to be a songwriter... / Pleased to meet you...
Text: I had to stumble on the introduction of all things...!
Page 24.
Otoya: You can't shake that nervousness, right?
Natsuki: It’s okay, you're not bothering anyone.
Masato: Just calm down and take a deep breath.
Text 1: It’s been a long time
Text 2: since someone has smiled so kindly at me.
Text 3: I want to create a great melody for them!
Text 4: One that makes everyone happy!
Page 25. Text: I want to make these kind smiles into a melody!
Haruka: I'm Haruka Nanami! / Pleased to meet you!
Page 26.
Ringo: See, you can smile beautifully. // Okay, Haru-chan, please sit down.
Text: Uh...I messed up...
Ringo: Alright, next we'll decide your all important partners! // Tada! ☆ / "The red string of fate~♥"
[T/N: There is an East Asian belief that the gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of men and women who are destined to meet.]
Ringo: The ones who want to be idols take this end // and the ones who want to be songwriters take the other end.
Page 27.
Ringo: Is everyone holding on? The person at the other end will be the partner you work with for the whole year!
Text 1: I'm excited about who my partner will be...
Student: Sensei~ Is this like a lottery?
Ringo: No, it's not. The red string of fate leads you to your eternal partner! // Well… / Even if you are chosen by the red string of fate, relationships are absolutely forbidden! // The principal has decided that anyone who breaks the rules will be immediately expelled, regardless of the reason for doing it!
Text: We’re not allowed to fall in love...?
Otoya: But...
Ringo: Okay, let’s go!
Page 28.
Text: Eh?
Cat: Meow!
Otoya: A cat?!
Natsuki: It’s already gone...
Ringo: Ah~ What happened just now?! // Never mind, we’ll try it one more time...
Page 29.
Ringo: Shi // ni // ng! ♪
Text: Eh? My string was connected to those three?!
Otoya: What on earth is this?
Masato: There can only be two people in a group...
Natsuki: Even though I managed to pair up with Nanami-chan...
Page 30.
Ringo: It can’t be helped, we’ll try again...
Saotome: No! No! No! // This is the decision of the musical muses... // Miss Nanami...from now on you will be a songwriter for all three of them, write songs and aim for the auditions!
Page 31.
Haruka: B-But...
Ringo: What the principal says is absolute, so we've got no choice but to follow it.
Otoya: Huh...it's a rule? // Well, we've got no choice if it's an order from the principal... // Okay...let's get on well then!
Masato: We've got no choice...I'm counting on you this year.
Natsuki: Hehe...this seems like fun!
In panel: EH?!
Haruka: It feels as if I've gotten into something pretty troublesome...
Page 32.
Tomochika: You have, haven't you?
Haruka: AHHH!
Tomochika: I'm so jealous! That paradise full of good looking guys!
Haruka: Ah, I'm sorry.
In panel: Confused
Tomochika: Hmm~? That’s such a weak reaction!
Haruka: Sorry...I...um...
Tomochika: I'm Tomochika Shibuya, I'll be sharing a room with you from today! // I'm hoping to be a true idol! ☆ // I know, we're in the same class! / You can call me Tomochika! Can I call you Haruka?
Haruka: W-Well... // Tomochika-san...

Tomochika: You're so stubborn~
In panel: Are you a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
Tomochika: Come on, try and call me Tomo-chan!
Haruka: Tomo-chan...?
Text 1: This is the first time I've called anyone by their name...
Tomochika: Well then, for this year... // No, I should say "let's be friends!"
Text 2: Friends...!
Tomochika: Ah...that’s just what I’d expect from a former legendary idol!
In panel: Are these the rumoured seven wonders?!
Tomochika: How on earth did the broken classroom return to normal after the principal left?
Haruka: It certainly seemed like magic!
Tomochika: Ah, you smiled! / You do look cuter when you smile after all! // And don't use honorifics! Just talk to me normally.
Page 34.
Haruka: Ah...sorry... / Tomo-chan...
Tomochika: Okay! // Hey...did you know? // Otoya and the others are sharing with guys from S Class. / It must be tense sharing a room with your rivals!

Haruka: But when you're around your rival, you work harder and improve your skills as an idol even more... / Don’t you think...?
Tomochika: You're too good! // I'll punish you for being too good!
Text 1: A new life.
Text 2: A new friend.
In panel: [Tomochika] Hey...I'll do this! [Haruka] Kyaaa!

Text 1: To think that I'd be having this much fun
Text 2: even though I’m not watching Hayato-sama...
Text 3: There's still so much I don't know...
Otoya: Oh? You guys have the same class as us?
Box: Tokiya Ichinose
Tokiya: It wasn't intentional, but that seems to be the case.
Natsuki: Then Shou-chan must be with you too! I can't see him though...
Page 36.
Shou: Hey! I'm right here!
Box 1: Shou Kurusu
Natsuki: Hehe...you're so short that I couldn't see you!
In panel: Cute~
Masato: What is it, Jinguuji?
Ren: Nothing, I just thought that jersey doesn't suit you. [I win.]
Box 2: Ren Jinguuji
Haruka: It's wonderful to see all of S Class together!
Tomochika: Things are pretty tense as usual, though.
In panel: Uh oh
Page 37.
Haruka: Anyway...what's going to happen now?
In panel: Uwaa!
Saotome: I'll answer that! // What's taking place now is the Saotome Academy Gateway to Success, known as the "Hellish Test of Strength for Idols!"
In panel: It's the principal!
Saotome: Everyone will fight together in groups of three in a cavalry battle! // The team still standing at the end will be given a present as proof that they are idols!
Text: Proof that they are idols...?
Tomochika: I have a question...do the girls have to take part too?
Saotome: Of course! The students enrolled in songwriting will cheer for the teams!
Page 38.
Haruka: I'll support the idols from behind the scenes! / I'll show them the strength of my emotions!
Text: Strong emotions...even I should have those...
Otoya: Okay then, we'll be back.
Natsuki: We're counting on your support!
Haruka: Okay! I'll shout as loud as I can!
Otoya: Hey! / What’s the meaning of this?
Natsuki: Hmm?
Page 39.
Otoya: You're the most athletic one of us! Why do you get to be the rider?
Natsuki: Look, Shou-chan from S Class is the rider too.
Otoya: That's because he’s the shortest!
Shou: Don’t call me short!
Ren: Looking good, Masato Hijirikawa! // The son of the Hijirikawa Corporation having to carry a big guy like that...
Masato: Aren't you in the same situation?
Ren: This kid is as light as a flower petal resting on my shoulder!
Shou: Don't call me a kid!
Tokiya: Stop that! We'll lose our balance!
Otoya: Alright! I've seen your weak point, Tokiya!

Haruka: Just what I’d expect from Ittoki-kun!
Announcement: Landmine number 112! Tomochika Shibuya from Class A…

Ringo: For your information, this isn’t a normal cavalry battle!
Text: Eh…?
Ringo: There are a lot of mines buried in the ground. // They all contain a past trauma that definitely no one wants to experience.
Ryuuya: You have to capture your opponent’s headband while avoiding the mines.
In panel: How about it? It’s just like Hell, right?
Haruka: I see, that’s what you mean by landmine…
Tomochika: It really is like hell…
