Resume[edit | hide]

Reasons for Becoming an Idol
With the brains and brawn that heaven has granted me, I wish to bring about peace to all of creation.
Personal Motto
“With Great Dignity.” That’s the way I want to live.
Comments for the Future
A pledge! I, Genbu Kurono! Shall, with these brains and this strength! Be afraid of nothing! Lose to nothing! Swear to go to the extremes of idoldom, and reach the top of the idol world! “Rivals in their strongholds?” “Lions in their dens?” It’s all just fine with me. I’ll push ‘em all aside, and aim for glory!
Comments about Unit Members
Suzaku and I, we’re in the same boat here. “One Lotus Bears Both Lives.” That’s the kind of relationship we’ve got. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t even be around. That’s how important a friend he is to me. Nyako? He’s no good. None of him. At all. Listen, I can’t help my allergies, alright?!

I'd never actually think that I'd look forward to my birthday. It's thanks to you, Bancho-san, that I used my fingers to count down to my birthday. Haha, I'm acting like a little kid.


Character Commu
Having my birthday celebrated like this fills my heart with a myriad of emotions. Hey, Suzaku, you'll keep aiming for the top of the idol world with me, right?
Damn straight, Genbu! Your birthday will only strengthen the bond our souls have with each other, man!


2017
Character Commu
Thank you for celebrating my birthday again this year, Bancho-san. I didn't wanna get too excited and make a fool of myself so I tried to clear my mind of everythin'... but I'm not making a funny face or anythin', right?


Character Commu
...I'm sorry. I'm gettin' all choked up because I didn't think you'd prepare such an amazin' party for me... Thank you.
Heheh. I worked my butt off to prepare all this because I wanted to celebrate your birthday so much! Happy birthday, Genbu! Let's keep kickin' ass together, partner!


2018
Character Commu
It's because you celebrate my birthday that I think of today as a special day, Bancho-san. I was actin' like a little kid getting all excited waiting for it. Real embarrassin', huh?


Character Commu
Damn... You always exceed my expectations every year. I never thought you'd actually give a present like this to me!
I wanted to see that smile of yours! After thinking real hard and asking a couple of folks for advice, I got ya this encyclopedia! Hope you'll be usin' it!


2019
Character Commu
I get excited every year when this time comes around. I think the reason why I get so excited for my birthday is thanks to you... So thank you very much, Bancho san.


Character Commu
I never thought I’d get an amusement park ticket for my birthday. I had so much fun, I lost track of time…
Heheh, you’re happy, aren’t you! Producer-san took a lot of pictures of us, so I’m gonna make an album! It’s your birthday after all, Genbu!

Character Commu
Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me every year. But of course, if you're busy, you don't have to do much. Just your wishes are more than enough to make me happy.


Character Commu
Bike riding with you was just as fun as I had expected. Makes me forget all about the boring stuff. Here's to a great birthday.
Heheh! After this I'll give ya my letter and present! I worked real hard on this letter, so please read it!... Huh? What happened, Genbu? Your face looks like it's hella sunburnt!?
