La Vie en Rose

A3! Mankai Glitter (Unbloomed)

🌻 natsugumi 🌻

notice how the backdrops of every row somehow connect in the middle (eg. the middle doesnt really perfectly align the 2 pictures)

BUT there are common items that indicate they are from the same backdrop

the balloon with the calligraphy writing can be seen near misumi’s hand and tenma’s head

their backdrop transitions from yellow to orange

cat balloon at bottom right corner of tenma’s and bottom right corner of yuki’s

transitions from orange to pink

the balloon with confetti can be seen near yuki’s and kumon’s head, also same heart balloons at the bottom

their backdrop transitions from pink to purple; can visibly see the purple on yuki’s side

part of kumon’s baseball can be seen on kazunari’s bottom left

backdrop transitions from purple to green

same fish balloon between kazu’s and muku’s head

backdrop transitions from green to blue, with some blue visible on muku’s side

A3! Mankai Glitter (Bloomed)

🌻 natsugumi 🌻

Gemini: Misumi & Tenma - mirror reflects their backs to represent the “twins”

Cancer: Yuki & Kumon - the heart gem represents compassion

Leo: Kazunari - crown represents that the lion is the king of the jungle

Virgo: Muku - vines represent the association with the goddess of nature

Tenn: Takanashi-san, good work.

9: Tomorrow’s the award day though. 

Tsumugi: Kujou-san, good work! Riku-san’s physical condition is perfect. He is relaxing.

9: I see.

T: So then, this is something we talked about in the meeting today but…

T: We’ve been together with TRIGGER-san for combined idol lives and such, but we haven’t worked as two groups before.

T: If TRIGGER-san hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t have gotten this far, was what we were talking about.

T: Thank you for standing before us all this time. You are our goal. Always.

T: I’m sorry I said something weird…

9: No. 

9: Thank you for thinking that way. We honestly admit how hard you guys worked.

9: Even though I visited their dorms to disturb them one day. It would be helpful if you put that aside.

T: It’s nothing. I’m feeling braced myself.

Tsumugi: Kujou-san, good work! Did you guys receive the sample goods from Ichiban Kuji?

Tenn: Good work. We received it. Even though it’s a sample, it’s well made.

T: They’re pretty good huh! There were no defects when we checked, but if you’ve noticed something, I wanted to make use of your suggestions, which is why I contacted you…!

9: Our manager checked them too but it seemed fine. Seems like she checked IDOLiSH7’s one carefully too.

T: Eh..! Really!

9: It would be hard for IDOLiSH7 fans because they have to collect seven of them.

T: It is… I always appreciated them…!

9: What are you doing with the goods you received at the agency?

T: They tend to want those so we’re passing them out!

*T: How are you with goods?

9: I have an exclusive room for goods in my house, so I keep them there.

9: And I saw the clear poster but, aren’t IDOLiSH7’s signatures too varied as usual?

Tsumugi: Kujou-san, good work. Thank you for the “Ichiban Kuji Awards” rehearsal today!

Tenn: From here too, thank you.

T: TRIGGER’s costumes were the “Black Knight” theme huh. They were super cool!

9: Yeah, it was that though. 

9: Gaku and Ryuu’s costumes were fluffier than I expected though. It can’t get close to Riku like that.

T: Fluffy…! Certainly it was a gorgeous costume.

T: We will have different stages even though we’ll co-star, so I thought I didn’t need to care too much…

9: That’s true, but Gaku and Ryuu are quite friendly toward IDOLiSH7. Will you become a barrier when those two come over?

T: I-I see!

*T: If Gaku-san came, I’d become a wall. 

9: Please. Please report everything to me with details about how Gaku reacted.

9: Gaku’s still fine but isn’t Ryuu too fluffy? 

Tenn: Good work Takanashi-san. Did you see the costume?

Tsumugi: Good work Kujo-san. Yes! I checked the rough designs.

9: I wanted to tell them to be careful because there are a lot of accessories. If it’s Takanashi-san, it’s fine huh.

T: I told them to make a costume that’s easy to move in for Riku-san, so his costume would be easier compared to the other costumes!

9: Please take care of it.

T: Oh right, I asked Riku-san about his memories of the lottery. I heard you had good luck like pulling a hot spring tour ticket at a shopping mall lottery!

9: It was a coincidence. Don’t you actually think tissues would’ve been better?

9: Like even if you got the high-class beef or the tickets, these memories only last a moment. But if it was tissues, you can take them and use them immediately no matter what happens.

9: Because Riku was a kid who would often spill his drinks and couldn’t drink them well. It was useful when I had tissues.

T: C-Certainly seems that way huh… Maybe I was greedy… I regret that in the past I also used to think that only getting tissues was frustrating…

9: You couldn’t even get a coupon?

Tsumugi: Kujo-san, sorry about the sudden contact.

T: I heard we can be together at both “Ichiban Kuji” and the “Ichiban Kuji Awards” this time. Please take care of us this time too.

Tenn: Good work. 

9: Please take care of me. Let’s do our best at the award stage.

T: Yes! It’s an honor to rival each other. Please take care of me.

9: You don’t have to say it that way.

T: Eh..?

9: IDOLiSH7 aren’t newcomers anymore. They are a fully grown idol group. You don’t have to say things like “honor”.

T: Certainly working together with TRIGGER-san, who are our goal, is a really happy thing for our members too… Thank you for the praise…!

9: Even though Riku’s certainly not happy about it.

T: Kujou-san…

T: May I say something?

9: Go ahead. 

T: Please don’t talk that way. No matter what, you two are family. That doesn’t change.
