Rui Maita (Aug 8, 2025)
Birthday Message (from SideM_official)
Rui: I didn’t fully notice that the Misters had prepared some sort of surprise. Perhaps, Producer-chan also helped them with the arrangements? I’m glad to have such a happy birthday! Thanks!

Rui: Wow! No way, a surprise!? Misters, since when did you guys set up this party!?
Michio: Today is Maita-kun’s birthday. The surprise setup is perfectly ready.
Jiro: Rui will be arriving at any time now. Oh, maybe I should add more decor over there.
Jiro Yamashita (Sept 9, 2025)
Birthday Message (from SideM_official)
Jiro: Thanks for celebrating my birthday again this year. Although, this “Birthday Boy” sash… Isn’t this a little too extra for an old man? Guess it ain’t that bad for a special day like this, you see.

Jiro: There’s people who celebrate my birthday to this extent… Perhaps getting older isn’t that bad.
Michio: Happy birthday, Yamashita-kun. Let’s keep doing our best this year.
Michio: I cannot easily imagine the effort you went into arranging the decorations, prepare various dishes, and more every year. Maita-kun, Yamashita-kun, and you, I would like to say this once more: I’m very delighted you’re celebrating my birthday again this year. I, thank you.

Michio: I really appreciate that you’ve spared some time to celebrate my birthday like this. Thank you, the three of you.
Rui: Happy birthday, Mister Hazama! Ok, take a glass! What drink would you like?
Jiro: While we’re here, would the man of the hour honor us with a toast?

(At the race course)
Jiro: Over there, from behind!
Jiro: Nice, all clear! Yeah, go go go...! Keep running~!
(Loud cheering. Camera zooms into Jiro, much to his horror.)
(At an izakaya)
That night...
Jiro: Haaah… I can't do this anymore~
Michio: Under those circumstances, the results do not look good.
Jiro: Yeah. He was doing fine in the middle, but the final stretch wasn't enough for him in the last straight...
Jiro: Man, I thought he would make it. My many, many money... boo-hoo-hoo.
Rui: Cheer up, Mister Yamashita. You'll get them next time.
Jiro: Nah, I've already made up my mind. ...I'll stop gambling for a while.
Rui: Really? Are you serious, Mister Yamashita? How long is "a while"?
Jiro: Well... Okay, how about a year!
Michio: Hm, you are very passionate about horse racing. Will Yamashita-kun even last a year…
Jiro: Ah, you don't believe me? Watch out, I'll certainly accomplish it.
Jiro: If you'd like, you can even bet on it.
Michio & Rui: .......
Michio: One more week, I suppose.
