The Birdcage Rondo/Event Scenes

01

Translator: mitsuba_to
	Wow! There are so many birds! Amazing!
	Haha. Of course there are. It’s a bird park.
	Yamashita-kun, are you not interested in birds?
	No, not particularly... When you mention birds... Sparrows, pigeons... And crows... That’s about all I can think of. What about you, Hazama-san?
	I have some knowledge of small birds. My grandparents used to keep Java sparrows.
	Look, Mister Hazama, Mister Yamashita. They’re all very cute☆
	Woah, Rui... What did you do to get so popular with those birds?
	I don’t know! But they’re all so nice and friendly. You guys should come play too!
	Yes. Let’s observe the various birds to deepen our knowledge and apply it to today’s shoot.

02

	Wow...! There really are a lot of birds at a bird park.
	Is that a falcon over there?! Woah, it’s so big! So cool! Hey, Sakuraba, let’s go over there-... Sakuraba?
	............
	It looks like he can’t take his eyes off the birds.
	It’s unusual for him to get so lost in something that he forgets we have a job to do.
	...Ah, sorry. Did you say something?
	Your expression just then was good. You have more charm when you’re like that.
	What? ...No, that was... Hmph. Mind your own business.

03

	...Huh?
	Rui, what’s wrong?
	This bird has been staring at the ground for a while. It’s not even trying to fly...
	Yeah. Now that you mention it, it looks weak.
	Hm... It appears to be injured.
	O-Oh no! We have to help it!
	Uh, I don’t think a non-professional should give medical care to a bird...
	Wait, I know! I’ll get Mister Sakuraba to go look at it!
	Eh?! Wha-... Rui?!
	Sakuraba-san does has a medical license, but that doesn’t mean he’s a veterinarian...

04

	Sakuraba! Is the injured bird that Rui brought earlier okay?
	It didn’t look so well, did it... I hope it’s okay.
	The vet said that its wings are injured, but it’s not life-threatening. It’s being transferred to a vet now. If given treatment, the bird will likely be able to fly again.
	That's a relief. Rui and the others will be happy to hear that!
	They should have contacted one of the caretakers from the beginning. I'm not a veterinarian.
	But Kaoru-san, you made the effort to help the injured bird, didn’t you?
	(...Even if I save one bird, I can’t eradicate the disease that took away my sister) (I haven’t reached my goal at all. And all this did was just remind me)
	Sakuraba...?

05

	I’m back, Mister Hazama, Mister Yamashita.
	Maita-kun, how is the bird?
	No problem! They said it will get better in a few days. That’s good! But...
	Is there something you’re worried about?
	Well, for some reason... I’m worried about Kaoru-san.
	Sakuraba-sensei...? He looked normal when I passed him earlier.
	That’s right. There was nothing different about him in particular. ...The shoot is starting soon. We should start preparing as well.
	Sure! ...Perhaps, it was just my imagination?

06

	Kaoru-san... Are you okay? You looked really out of it during filming…
	You may be able to fool others, but that doesn’t work on us. Why are you in such a rush?
	...It has nothing to do with you two.
	What happened to always being flawless on stage as an idol no matter what happens? And of course we’d be worried if you’re making a face like that. We’re your friends.
	Slow and steady. That’s what you’ve always been doing, right? No matter how long it takes, take one step at a time and grow.
	............ ...I’m surprised to hear such sensible things coming from you two. I’m so surprised, that it made me come to my senses.
	Geez, a little ‘thank you’ would be nice.
	If you feel better, then that’s good. Well then, let’s do our best with the rest of the shoot!

07

	Hm... DRAMATIC STARS are picking up momentum as the shoot progresses.
	Yeah! It looks like Mister Sakuraba has cheered up as well. I wonder if it was thanks to Mister Tendo and Mister Kashiwagi? Amazing!
	You’re the amazing one. It was you who noticed that something was wrong with him, right?
	With this job, there are times when trivial feelings can impact one’s performance. Maita-kun senses that and is always alert.
	Wow! When you analyze it like that, it’s like I did something amazing!
	You did do something amazing. Well then, shall we go for it as well?
	Yes. Maita-kun, I would like to take note of your excellent observant eye that you made good use of.
	So you want me lecture you? Sure, let’s do our best☆

08

	Alright, we’ve finished filming the PV! Great work, guys!
	Kaoru-san received high praise from the director. That’s amazing!
	DRAMATIC STARS’ reputation has risen once again. Good job, Sakuraba!
	That was the result of all three of us, not just me. I could not have received such praise by myself.
	Kaoru-san...
	You’re surprisingly frank, aren’t you. Honestly, it would be nice if you were always like that.
	Hmph. Enough with the chit-chat. Let’s hurry up and change and go home. (I don’t want to say “slow and steady” or anything carefree like that, but...) (I’ll definitely handle the things I can do myself now and move forward... Big sister.)
