I’m grateful that we can perform alongside Shinsoku Ikkon for our anniversary live. Let’s work well together!
I was hopin’ we’d pair up with THE Kogadou too! Feels like it’ll be one hot stage!
We’ve had multiple opportunities to work alongside each other up until now. As always, I’ll be in your care.
Yeah. Same here. Let’s all work hard together.
You should be on cloud nine for bein’ able to perform with someone as awesome as me! Let’s do another glare battle, burnin’ dude!
My name’s Suzaku, dangit! Heh! But I ain’t losin’ when it comes to my glare!
We have a magazine interview leading up to the live too. It looks like we’ll be pretty busy.
I’m glad we’ll be doing this with partners who are in sync with us.
You’re right… Let’s both bring each others’ good points to the spotlight and make it the best performance it can be.
Sure! If the five of us work together, we’re unbeatable! BUUUUURNIN’!!

I wonder what kinda choreography this live will have! There’s no way I can’t look forward to it!
It’s a collaboration between THE Kogadou and Shinsoku Ikkon.

Won’t it be something passionate and full of energy that suits us?

I heard that the choreography coach holds the PV we had on the uninhabited island and Bankara’s live in high regards.

The choreo this time might just become something even fiercer.

Hmph. No matter what comes, I’ll show you I can master it in the blink of an eye.

It’s ‘cuz I’m the strongest, best genius ever! Kuhaha!

This live is an important crossroads. Our anniversary… It’s an important event especially for 315 Productions.

They want the best we’ve had up until this point… The higher the goals, the more fired up I get.

Awright! The five of us will make this live one that burns to the max! BUUURNIN’!!

One, two, three… four, five, six… and from a turn, here comes a… circle kick!

Haah, haah… Just like Genbu said, the choreo this time sure is some hard stuff…

Yeah. Our individual efforts are a given, but the performance this time will require complete harmonization of both our parties.

We’ll have to prepare ourselves. They expect only perfection out of us for the performance.

…I brought water. It’s from Producer.
Oh! Nothing less of Master. I’ll have to thank them later. …Huh? What’s up with Ren?
He was sleeping in the hallway… It would’ve been better if he chose to sleep here instead of over there.
Haha. Even Ren looks like he’s a little tired out from that.
HAH? No way I’d get tuckered out by somethin’ like this, idiot. Pipsqueak, fight me with dance!
It’s still break time, you darn… Well, at least you’re motivated.

So I want to talk about the staged battle performance during the interlude…

We’re planning to put in our “Suzaku Sky Drop” and “Genbu Ice Sword Wave.”

It’ll be a live aimed for our fans who’ve always supported us!

That’s why we wanna make it a heavy-impact performance that suits Shinsoku Ikkon to a tee! Like this… BURNIN’!

I get a lot more oomph from it now that I see it up close…! It’s such a thrilling technique, as always.

Since it’s the occasion of our joint performance, should we think up our own special killer moves, too?

Special moves… Like a finishing pose, the same way action heroes do them? …I wonder what would be good.

I can’t think one up on the spot… I think I’ll take my time mulling it over when I’m back home.

What’s up with this special moves nonsense? Hmph, you’re a billion years too early to try ’n show off more than me!

Yo, pipsqueak! Ramen dude! Let’s have a match to see who can make the strongest killer move!

I’m back, sir! Thanks for always tending the store for me!
…You made ramen for us? Thank you, sir.
*slurp*… This ain’t enough. Gimme seconds! Large size, of course!
UWOOOH! Eatin’ More Love Ramen after tough lessons is really makin’ it seep right into me!
Our ramen tastes as good as how hardworking the people eating it are… Yep, it’s good!
I was wondering how we’d manage at first, but it looks like we somehow got the basics of it down.

At this rate, I think we’ll be able to finish more quickly than expected.

…So what you’re meaning to say is, we can still afford to improve ourselves.

I want to aim for the best I can do, and even beyond that… Let’s work hard tomorrow, too.

The magazine interview job’s comin’ tomorrow, right? Aight, looks like I gotta motivate myself!
It’s an interview connected to the start of the anniversary live, right? That’s a huge responsibility on our parts.

In that case, it’d be best for us to review the jobs that we’ve completed up until now.

Should we check pictures, too? Or watch videos of them?
Speaking of which, they’re doing an exhibition of “Bakumatsu Shunsei Roku” at TV stations at the moment.
Ooh!? Why didn’tcha tell me that earlier! It’s so soon! We’re goin’ right now!!
Hey, wait up. So that’s what’s happening, Boss. We’ll be heading out for a bit.
I’m riled up’n ready for the surprise attack! If we don’t go right now, the exhibition’s gonna be over!!

Whoaaa… This “Bakumatsu Shunsei Roku” corner is decked out with all kinds of stuff!!
This special corner is pretty big. It sure is one large-scale event.
Those outfits are the ones we wore’n ran around wearing. Takes me back…!
Oh, looks like the crowd’s noticed us. Well, that’s to be expected.
Huh? A handshake? Of course, that’s fine! Thanks for supportin’ us!

…Hm? You want us to wear the outfits? Hmmgh, but we can’t touch the stuff on display on our own.

You said it. …Oh, it’s the program producer. It’s been a while. We were in your care before, so thank you… Wait, what?
You’ll let us wear the outfits on display, since it’s a special case? WHOAAA! I’m real grateful!
It’s also been a while since I wore Hijikata Toshizou’s outfit, too. My memories from that time are wellin’ right back up.
Oof, this is so nostalgic…! “This is a police search!” …Heheh, that was cool? Thanks!

We didn’t exactly “fire up the special corner” quite as much as we just interacted with the fans…
Doesn’t it feel nice that everyone was happy about it? We got a good story to tell now!
Another flower of reminiscent conversation has bloomed. It’s also a good thing that we got to hear their opinions directly.
Hey, man, don’t you think we should do lots’n more other things if we wanna make the fans happier?

I’m sure the little props we used in our previous jobs are still in the warehouse’n all.

If we show ‘em that sorta stuff and talk about what we remember about them, I think the fans’ll be real happy with it.

Great idea, partner. We’ll be preparing for the interview too, so I think that’ll be two birds with one stone.
I hope you’ll help out too, Producer! We’re gonna drag all our memories outta the warehouse!

These are the gun and sword I used with the pirates thing, huh? The warehouse has got a good number of different stuff in it!
Seeing the actual article makes me feel pretty emotional. Let’s take a picture of us standing with them.

…Oh, this is the tea set we used during the butler movie, right? Can’t believe this is still here.

“Elegant Days with the Butlers,” wasn’t it! Both of us really struggled that time, huh?
Yeah. The sensation of it is still stuck in my muscle memory.

“Welcome home, Master.”

Yeah, that! You couldn’t shake off your role a while after we finished filming, right?
It’s become a funny story for us now, but I even felt like acting like a butler in front of the lil’ bros too…
Hahaha! If they saw that, they would’ve been real riled up!
Oh, what’d you find, Boss? Let’s take a picture with that, too.

The job this time will be a gravure photoshoot and interview for the magazine.

Since it’s a special feature to commemorate the anniversary, it’ll be a pretty big deal!

This is a pain. But it’s the perfect chance to teach everyone who the strongest really is…

Yo, staff dudes! Come at me with all ya got for the photoshoot AND the interview!

…That guy’s not the only one being featured, though. It’s for all of us in THE Kogadou.
Haha. Having motivation is a fine thing. Takeru, how are you faring?
I’m fine. I want to show everything that THE Kogadou has done up until now, for the fans.

…Who knows. My little brother and sister or any of them might pick up the magazine somewhere.

I have to be proud of myself… so that I can properly communicate who I am right now.

Kuhaha! Yo, you with the camera! Take bigger pics of me!
Hey, you. You’re too close to the camera. You’re covering us up, so shove off a little to the side.
HAAH? Then I won’t be shown as big as I can be. You should be the one scurryin’ off to the corner!
Come on, you two, leave the squabble at that! …I’m really sorry for causing problems for you, cameraman!

…Huh? You got a picture fitting THE Kogadou, so it’s all okay? You want powerful images that match the unit, just like the one you took just now? I see… If that’s the case, how about I do a judo technique… How’s this pose? …Oh, that’s okay!

So I’ll do a boxing pose… Hey, you. Do something too.
…Tch. DUMBASS! The way all y’all are still sucky beginners shocked me! …Just watch.

If ya want the strongest, then with just a pose… HAAH! This is how you put force into it!

Oh, looks like they caught a good shot! That’s nice to hear. That was a great success, you two!

We’re having the interview next? Something that remained profoundly stuck in our memories, huh… What would that be for you, Enjoji-san?
Let me think… It’d have to be “HEAT UP SUMMER LIVE,” which made use of our muscles…

I remember “Valentine Live,” where I got to show off my skill in cooking with full force. But…

The number one for me would have to be the promotion activities we did in the movie village! I competed with both of you to achieve results, remember?

Since we’re part of the same unit, I didn’t really have those sorts of experiences up until then.

It’s an unbelievably important memory for me where I managed to improve by yet another step. What about you, Ren?

Uh… Lemme think… The food from Hawaii, the uninhabited island, and Kagawa were pretty good.
Enjoji-san said something meaningful, while everything on your mind is just food.
Oh, shaddap. My own existence itself gets profoundly stuck in people’s memories! Y’all better be freakin’ grateful!
Haha, it’s just like Ren to say that. What about you, Takeru?

For me? …Umm…
Which one of “A Tale of Bonds” or “Cybernetics Wars,” your protagonist works, would it be?
…Neither, actually. It’d be “Fresh Green Live.”

On that day, I built up my resolve to aim to be the strongest with THE Kogadou… It’s a precious memory for me.

Now that you mention it, that job was an indispensable one for us all.
Strongest, right…? It’s sometimes. Only sometimes. The things you say actually serve a purpose. Sometimes, though.
HAH? The hell was that? The hell’s that mean, you dipshit!
Haha. Our upbringings and origins are all different, but the future we aim for is the same.

Let’s keep aiming for the peak, just like how we talked about in Hawaii!

Yeah… You’re right.

Not a lotta time left… until the anniversary live…! *wheeze, wheeze*… We’re done… with running…!
Looks like ya got some guts, burnin’ dude. You’re no match for me, though!
*wheeze*… Managing to finish a former athlete’s training menu… means that building up muscle is a given…
We sure built up stamina…! We’ve become able to catch up to THE Kogadou for the most part, too!
Honestly, it’s amazing enough that you can keep up with our menu.
The training seems to be taking a heavy toll on you, Genbu-san. Should we take a break?
Nah… I can keep on going. This is to show off the best performance ever at our anniversary live…!
Heheh… I can’t lose to Genbu…! I can keep goin’ too!!
It looks like both of you are fired up. If that’s the case, let’s go for another run!
Shinsoku Ikkon Yes sir!!

All right, it’s finally time to take a break. There are lots of boxed lunches, so play nice and eat them.
All these inzarizushis are mine! …Hm, this is pretty good…
This fried chicken is really good. Did Genbu-san make it?
Yeah, he did! Genbu’s real skilled! Even the food he makes is the best!
Quit saying stuff like that. It’s embarrassing. But the taste of Michiru-anisan’s stewed foods is nice…
I’m glad to hear that. All of you are still growing, so don’t hold back and eat as much as you like.
Oh, yeah. I forgot I made a lunch for Nyako. Here y’go, Nyako.
Oops. I made one too, but… I don’t think it’ll be able to finish two portions.
Gimme that lunch if the cat’s ain’t eatin’ it!
This is for cats, you know? Are you seriously gonna eat it, Ren-anisan…?

Since we’re full, we should get practicing our special moves soon.
We thought ours up using our previous occupations as a base, but you two have your own personal style, correct?
Suzaku-san, your dad’s a pro wrestler, right? You’re not going to reference pro wrestling techniques in it?
I ain’t a wrestler, plus, pros’ techniques can’t be imitated too easy.

Also, even if my pops is a pro wrestler, doesn’t mean I’m plannin’ to do the same!

Both of your parents still haven’t given up on making you a pro wrestler, huh.
Don’t matter what my parents think. I’m gonna keep goin’ to do Shinsoku Ikkon with Genbu!!

But no matter how much I tell ‘em that, they just won’t give up. I’m gonna keep headin’ right through with this delinquent style.

The Akai family’s teaches that “Men keep shut and speak with their hearts,” so,

It’s gonna be a message for my parents that I’ll pierce right through with my own way of livin’ and not yieldin’ to anyone else!

That way of living has captivated me time and time again. Let’s head for the peak together, Suzaku!
Yo, ya might be gettin’ worked up, but I ain’t givin’ up my throne of bein’ the strongest!

With this, the final lessons before our anniversary live have finished. Good work, everyone.
I think we’ll be able to pull off the special moves that everyone thought up together.
Yeah! It’s really the best! I can’t help but look forward to the moment when we show ‘em to the fans!
Now that we’re completely prepared, I can’t wait for the performance. I wanna hurry up and stand on stage.
Okay! Let’s have a meeting to set things in motion at my place.
Motion set things? The hell’s that. Is there gonna be food?
I’m planning to have us all gather around a Hoto hot pot to improve our motivation and unity.
Heh. If that’s what it is, I’ll bless y’all with my presence’n go there specially.
If you’re cooking, allow me to help out. We’re working together as one for tomorrow’s live.

Our warming up went perfectly. All that’s left is to wait for the real thing.
WHOAAA! It’s finally happenin’! I can feel the audience’s passion even from here!!
The stage is ready. Let’s make a strenuous effort and make the live a success!
All these screams’n cheers are annoyin’, but it’s a stage for me, ain’t it?

I’ll show everyone just who’s the strongest in the universe!

Everything we have… Let’s show everyone in the audience how we are right now.

Suzaku-san, I’m counting on you for the call to lead us.

Awright! Let’s get fired up! …We are…
Everyone 315!!!

Sorry to keep ya waitin’!! Here’s where Shinsoku Ikkon and THE Kogadou will be doin’ their special tag team!

My flames are gonna burn your hearts right up! BUUUUURNIN’!

If Suzaku-san’s the flames, I’ll be the wind. I’ll make the force behind the fire even stronger!
Kuhaha! If it’s the pipsqueak we’re talkin’ about, that wind’s gonna be nothin’ to write home about.

If he’s the wind, I’ll be a typhoon. Yo, yo! I’ll blow all y’all away!

Then how about I be the sun, so I can shine on the audience! How about you, Genbu?
Haha. Choosin’ roles is interesting. I… gotta go with ice.

Sometimes hot, sometimes cold. I’ll show you a performance that won’t even give you time to blink.

The real value of the anniversary live is right here and now! Give us the best cheers you got!

(We’re finally at the interlude. Here comes the staged fight with Shinsoku Ikkon…

Not even an instant of mistake will be allowed… Let’s go!)

(Nice! The link movement with Takeru-san went off perfectly!)
(With every little movement, the cheers keep surging up… These are the results of our training.)
(All that’s left is Ren and Suzaku’s performance. Do your best, Ren!)
Hmph. It’d be borin’ if we kept it the same as practice, right? …Take that!
Whoa! …Hittin’ me with that… Heh, interestin’, Ren-san, bro! …Ya wanna go!?
Ohh, here comes the glare battle! I haven’t seen this since Bankara live!
Heh… This is also the real charm point of lives. Let’s go wild too!
I’d want nothing else… I can’t let that guy stand out all on his own!

WHOAAA! The encores just keep comin’ and comin’!

This is really what gets me hooked! Whenever I hear these voices, my heart just fires right up!

Yeah… It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I’m still an idol because I can’t get enough of these moments.

That’s just how powerful these feelings are for me.

…All right, my breathing’s in order. I can go out at any time!
I used up everything I had. Honestly, it’s taking me everything to just stand right now…

But I can keep holding out for the people who have brought me this far.

Enough with the small talk. I’ll just stand on stage ‘cuz I haven’t gone wild enough. That’s all there is to it.

Hey, all y’all! Let’s hurry up’n go!

…We’re heading out, Producer. Please watch over us until the very end.

Thanks for the encore. You guys were… the best during today’s live…!
Don’t get all serious on us, Genbu! The audience ain’t burnt out just yet!

Hey, everyone! You still wanna go buck wild, right!? You can keep yelling, right!?

…Heh, I can’t keep quiet after hearing these voices, I guess!
(I really do love standing on stage. I can’t help how much fun I’m havin’!)
(We can’t show off a pitiful side to THE Kogadou either. We’ll rush right through until the end!)
Aight, laughin’ or cryin’ won’t change anything about the last song! And the title’s…
Shinsoku Ikkon DRIVE A LIVE!!

…With this, the anniversary live’s also ended. Did you all have fun, everyone in the audience?
Today’s performance was just the best. It was number one outta all the ones we’ve had up till now! Seriously!
You’re the luckiest people in the world to have the strongest, best genius’ performance slammed into your heads! Kuhaha!
But this isn’t the end. After this, we’ll show you an even greater stage.
The word limit doesn’t exist for us. We’ll go beyond our limits and keep running to the points beyond that!
We’ll always show you the best performances we have, so keep following us!
Today, y’all were burnin’ the best of all! THANKS, ALL—!!

Good work, everyone! Thanks to everyone, we made this stage the hottest and most passionate it could be!
I’m glad we pulled it off without messing up. Looks like the muscle training we did to death was worth it.
This time… was an amazing stage, like the ones we’ve had all gathered up until now.
…Hmph. Stuff like this ain’t enough to satisfy me.
The stage this time is a step closer to running even more forward.
This time was an awesome stage, but what about the ones that come even after that?
I’m sure something unbelievable’s lying in wait for us. That’s a given.
We’ll keep running on and on to make sure that’s the case.
You’re right! Let’s all run right ahead with all we got together! BUUUUUURNIN’!!

Good work to you, too. Thanks for watching over us until the very end.
We can go crazy with all we want on stage ‘cuz you’re watching over us!
Yo, that ain’t important. But what is important is me bein’ hungry. Gimme something to eat now!
Ren-anisan, you’re always hungry… Are you bad at managing your energy efficiency?
Ren moved a lot, after all! We’ve got food, too, so let’s go to the place where we’ll be holding the closing party.
Now that we’re done with things, I feel hungry too. I hope we can eat something good.
Our live also went off without a hitch, so let’s go to raise a few cheers, Partner.
Yeah! Let’s all celebrate’n be real loud, just like we should do for an anniversary!!
