Momo

Heya there! Re:vale’s Cute and Shiny Momo-chan here ✨

Yuki

Hello. I’m Re:vale’s Handsome and Shiny Yuki.

Momo

Coincidentally, we’re appearing on eeeeeeveryone’s favorite ✨Dolcolle✨ this month!

Yaaaayyyy 🥳 Wooohoooooo!! 🥳

Momo

Did you see last month’s Dolcolle, Yuki?! Touma and Torao looked incredible!

Yuki

I saw. It was erotic

Momo

What are you saying lolololololol

Yuki

Am I wrong?

Momo

You’re not exactly wrong! But people of all ages will take a look at this rabbitter, so make it a liiiiiittle less on the nose! 😉

Yuki

Got it

Yuki

Their cover captured an essence of surrendering oneself to an irresistible storm of passion.

Momo

Yuki…! How did you manage to spin the word “erotic” into such prose, are you a genius?!?!🥹

Yuki

^^

Momo

While we’re on the topic, what are your thoughts on our shoot?

Yuki

We set ours up in a flower garden, so the vibe was fresh and lovely and the breeze felt great.

Momo

That’s right! We went for the trademark Dazzling Re:vale vibe, so look forward to it😉

Momo

PS: We did NOT surrender to an irresistible storm of passion 🙅‍♂️

Yuki

(LOL) You’re already using it

Momo

DOLCOLLE Vol. 5’s interview had three key topics!

🕶 Our impressions on the photoshoot

🌻 Yuki and I’s summer memories together

✨ What defines “Shiny Time” for us?

Momo

I bet the titles alone got you guys suuuuu😆per intrigued! Make sure to check out the magazine 

Inumaru Touma

What does “Shiny Time” mean anyways 🤔 Is it like a “sparkling moment” or something?

Yuki

I see. So Touma-kun doesn’t know

Yuki

“Shiny Time” is industry jargon

Inumaru Touma

Are you serious?! I’ve never heard of it before 😳 How do you even use it?

Momo

Heya, Manager? Let’s go to a bar and have a Shiny Time

Yuki

Hello Manager. Let’s grab a cold one with the boys and hit that Shiny Time (1)

Mido Torao

Touma, don’t listen to them. Nobody uses outdated slang like that anymore

Yuki

You got me

Momo

My bad lolol Your question was so cute we couldn’t help teasing you a little 🥹

Momo

It’s exactly as you said, Touma. “Shiny Time” refers to a memory where we were truly shining✨

From my own perspective when I think of Yuki, and vice versa!

Yuki

What did you say, Momo?

Momo

That’s…A s.e.c.r.e.t 🤫

You gotta read the interview to find out!

Yuki

Hmmmmmm

Yuki

Hello Manager. Momo won’t spill the tea

Momo

You’re still doing that bit lololol

Yuki uses “ギロッポン” in the original text, which is industry slang for “eating sushi in ginza”, the joke here is that Yuki says the exact same thing as Momo except turns every word into a slang. Source: https://takashionary.com/japanese-outdated-slang/#ギロッポン

Momo

I read through every single fan mail you guys sent! You put so much love into every single one, Momo-chan’s heart is fluttering 🥺

Momo

Now I’ll be sharing a question that really stood out to me! “What do you prefer eating during summer?”, you first, Yuki!

Yuki

Something cold and easy to digest sounds nice. I tend to lose my appetite when it’s hot

Natsume Minami

Yuki-san’s the type to lose his appetite? We’re polar opposites then. I cannot keep going unless I eat.

Momo

Same here! I get you so bad! Summer’s the perfect weather to eat meat or ramen 🥩🍜

Momo

But Yuki has a delicate stomach；～；

Yuki

；～；

Yuki

Doctor Momo, what should I do about it?

Momo

Hon hon hon. Yuki-kun, just eat what you actually can eat ✋

Momo

(Though I’d be happy if you ate a balanced diet and didn’t lose weight)

Yuki

Doctor, aren’t you breaking character?

Momo

Hon hon hon. Then I’ll get by on eating meat and ramen, and Yuki-kun can stick to nagashi somen. Problem solved 💡

Momo

～ END ～

Isumi Haruka

Um…What are you two doing?

Yuki

A skit.

Momo

In Rabbitter form of course 🫶 If you don’t like the doctor skit, we can also do a kindergarten nurse’s office. Do you wanna join us, Haruka?

Natsume Minami

How about you don’t invite Isumi-san to your shady activities?

Momo

( ・3・ )

Yuki

( ・3・ )

Momo

We got to wear our “Collection Album Vol. 2” outfits for the cover photo! It’s been a while since we had them on, what did you guys think?

Momo

Audience VC: They’re sooooo cooooool!!

Yuki

You’re roleplaying as the audience now?

Momo

Because Yuki looks super mega handsome in this outfit!! You can’t not scream when you see it! 🗣️

Tsunashi Ryuunosuke

You looked really cool too, Momo-san! Seeing you two dance together made me remember how close you are all over again ☺️

Momo

Ryuu-chan! I’m glad to hear that from the close-knit TRIGGER 😆

Kujo Tenn

“Close-knit” you say. That sounds a little embarrassing

Yuki

You guys are really close after all. Well if you guys aren’t close then the others would be considered enemies

Yaotome Gaku

Thank you so much! I feel like living at Ryuu’s place helped deepen our bond too.

Yuki

Nice. Momo, do you want to live together again?

Momo

Sounds good to me! Call it Re:vale Residence 😁

Momo

First off, we definitely need a soundproof workspace for you! Then a spacious, convenient kitchen with a room to host parties for our juniors✨

Yuki

Then we’d need a futsal court or a private beach for you to surf in, right?

Momo

Yuki…! You’re so handsome when you’re thoughtful 😭

Momo

👓BEEP BEEP BEEP…

MomoGPT: According to my calculations, you need a plot of land the size of Rainbow City to build Re:vale’s Dream House.

Yuki

That’s way too big

Yuki

We’ll need a golf cart to drive around the house

Momo

The End.

Stage 1:

Replies:

Touma Inumaru: I'm Touma Inumaru from ŹOOĻ! Tora and I had the honor of being featured on the cover of the fourth issue of "DOLCOLLE" 👍 Be sure to check out our special photoshoot!

Torao Mido: I'm Torao Mido from ŹOOĻ. It's a top-tier theme that suits us perfectly, don't you think? It might be a bit intense, but you guys better keep up with us

Touma Inumaru: Intense, huh? True, you were kinda sexy in that shoot after all

Torao Mido: It was right up my alley You looked pretty good yourself, Touma

Touma Inumaru: The staff played ŹOOĻ's songs for us during the shoot, so that really got us pumped up too! 😆

Torao Mido: It felt absolutely amazing That's Minami's music for you

Torao Mido: The photographer said he's a fan of our song "Drift Driving," too

Touma Inumaru: That made me suuuuuuper happy!

Touma Inumaru: He even gave us this request, saying, "Please give us something with an unexpected angle, like you're going all the way from there straight to LEGEND!" [1]

Torao Mido: What got me was watching you spend a while thinking about it, then suddenly tilting your whole body at a 45-degree angle and striking a bizarre pose

Touma Inumaru: Well, he wanted "unexpected" so I figured I had to go that far, y'know? lololol

Torao Mido: You gave him something so utterly unexpected that it was just perfect. It was a legendary moment

Touma Inumaru: If you got a laugh out of it, then it was all worth it 😂 Also, everyone swaying along to the music together during the chorus was super fun too!

Torao Mido: That song just naturally gets your body moving

Touma Inumaru: For real. And I want everyone who picks up this magazine to read it while listening to "Drift Driving" too 👍

Stage 2:

Torao Mido: In our interviews, we talked about behind-the-scenes stuff from the shoot and our instruction manuals for each other.

Touma Inumaru: We were just talking about our usual everyday stuff, but does anyone even care about that?

Riku Nanase: I believe many people do! Touma-san and Mido-san, you both looked really cool all dressed up 😊

Touma Inumaru: Thanks, Riku! That makes me happy to hear

Iori Izumi: ŹOOĻ often take on fairly bold concepts to begin with. This time, though, I felt there was an added layer of mature allure as well. I will be taking notes for reference.

Torao Mido: Huh, didn't expect you to be interested in this sort of concept, Izumi. Well, if you liked it that much, I'm glad.

Touma Inumaru: Since we’ve got the chance, I’d like people to get to know us even better Tora, got any more instruction manual stuff you haven't shared yet?

Torao Mido: It’s not really something I'd include in an instruction manual, but when summer starts getting close, I tend to feel more carefree

Torao Mido: I'll step out onto my balcony at night and have a glass of chilled white wine

Touma Inumaru: The night view from your balcony is insanely beautiful! Being able to look at that whenever you want... man, I'm jealous 😲

Torao Mido: Then you should just come over too.

Touma Inumaru: Hell yeah, I definitely will!

Touma Inumaru: Let’s come up with instruction manuals for Haru and Mina over drinks too!

Torao Mido: I'm down. Would be nice if we got the chance to share those someday too.

Stage 3:

Touma Inumaru: We've been getting tons of messages in the magazine’s fan letter section too. Thanks, you guys. Some of you even drew portraits of us, which made me really happy! 😄

Torao Mido: We made sure to read through every single one ourselves. I'll just share one here

Torao Mido: “Please tell us what the two of you want to do this summer,” is what they asked. Touma, what about you?

Touma Inumaru: This summer, it's gotta be the "VISIBLIVE TOUR 4WARD JOURNEY"‼️ From the first show to the last, I want to have every venue going absolutely crazy!

Torao Mido: Me too

Touma Inumaru: Then... once all the live shows go super well and the whole tour's been a huge success, and things finally settle down a bit, I wanna go eat some meat!

Torao Mido: Is that your roundabout way of inviting us to an after-party?

Haruka Isumi: If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be against at least considering it I guess

Minami Natsume: Yes. If Inumaru-san is that insistent, I can’t really refuse.

Touma Inumaru: Haru! Mina!

Touma Inumaru: Let’s all go together 😄 I’ll take care of organizing it!

Torao Mido: I’ll help you find a restaurant. Might as well go somewhere with really good meat

Touma Inumaru: Oh, just got a message on Rabbit Chat from those two saying they want a place with good ice cream and cold noodles lolol

Stage 4:

Torao Mido: For this shoot, we wore the poster outfits from ŹOOĻ’s first album "einsatZ" It's been a while since we wore those.

Touma Inumaru: Those outfits have a really clean black-and-white balance, and when we stand together, it looks super sharp and cool

Touma Inumaru: They even had matching necklaces made for me and Tora, and there was a lot of thought put into these outfits, so I really like them 👍

Momo: They were really sexy and had a badass feel to them, you both looked super cool~ 😍

Touma Inumaru: Momo-san! So you've checked it out already! Thank you so much 😄

Torao Mido: That necklace was designed so that it naturally draws attention to your poses, right

Touma Inumaru: That was something I really wanted to show off, so I was happy they made a point of highlighting it!

Torao Mido: Here's a little behind-the-scenes story: those necklaces are actually pretty heavy

Torao Mido: Every time we switched poses, Touma would gently set my necklace down and it cracked me up every time

Touma Inumaru: Well, I just figured if it went thwack! and hit you, it’d probably hurt lolol

Yuki: The dangerous vibe was quite nice We can’t afford to lose to you either

Torao Mido: No, actually, it was pretty safe compared to the stuff Re:vale does

Touma Inumaru: What’s that even supposed to mean lolol

Momo: Tora-chan, if you ever feel like playing with us, just say the word anytime!

Torao Mido: Got it, then I'll take you two on anytime. And I'll bring Touma with me.

Touma Inumaru: Is it okay for me to come along? Then count me in anytime! 😄

Touma Inumaru: Anyway, me and Tora’s outfits are full of little details too, so look forward to it!

Rainbow City's very first idol magazine, "DOLCOLLE", is packed with plenty of highlights from other idols as well. Be sure to look forward to the groups and features coming up in future issues too!

The End.

Replies:

Haruka Isumi: We, ŹOOĻ, got to cheer everyone on as the supporters! Seeing other high schoolers like me give it their all seriously gave me so much energy 😆 The world competition in New York was insanely high-level and amazing too, so look forward to it!

Touma Inumaru: They’re putting their entire youth on the line and battling it out with everything they’ve got! It’d make us really happy if everyone watching could cheer them on together with us 💪

Minami Natsume: Multiple harmonies overlap to become a single piece of music. Every school was exceptional, and it reminded me once again that music has no limits.

Torao Mido: That feeling that wells up from the bottom of your heart — the urge to cheer them on with everything you’ve got — I want you all to experience that to the fullest too

Haruka Isumi: Oh yeah! Guys, do you know about green tea gargling? I heard the Shizuoka team does it, so I tried it myself, and it really does clear your throat! I totally recommend it ✌️

Minami Natsume: You did mention recently that your vocal projection has improved, Isumi-san. Gargling with tea is also said to help prevent cavities and colds.

Touma Inumaru: Maybe I should try that too! My throat’s been feeling a little scratchy lately

Haruka Isumi: Are you catching a cold? Want some throat lozenges?

Torao Mido: Isn’t it because of the vocal percussion practice you did yesterday?

Haruka Isumi: Ohh! That That was seriously so much fun, wasn't it? 😄

Minami Natsume: You all practiced? I wasn’t informed about this.

Touma Inumaru: Just a little! You had a shoot in the afternoon, remember, Mina?

Minami Natsume: Hmm.

Haruka Isumi: Wait… are you mad?

Minami Natsume: I am not. I simply thought I’d like to see the results of your practice.

Minami Natsume: Why don’t you try performing “BREAK THE LIMITATION” here? I’ll handle the vocals.

Touma Inumaru: Here!?

Torao Mido: How are we supposed to do that over Rabitter…?

Minami Natsume: Just follow your instincts. You are all artists, are you not?

Minami Natsume: Here we go. One, two, three, four

Haruka Isumi: What are we supposed to do!?

Torao Mido: Touma, you go first! We’ll follow your lead

Touma Inumaru: O-Okay!

Touma Inumaru: Tyun tyun tyun tyun tyun

Torao Mido: Snap snap snap snap

Haruka Isumi: Tyun tyun tyun tyun tyun

Torao Mido: Snap snap snap snap snap

Torao Mido: Wait, where’s the vocals?

Minami Natsume: My apologies, I missed my cue I was simply too amused.

Haruka Isumi: Heeyy!!!! You’re the one who told us to do this! 😡😡

Torao Mido: You made me do finger snaps and everything... seriously?

Touma Inumaru: Calm down, calm down! Let’s practice properly with all four of us next time! ✊
