BlackStar ~Theater Starless translation
Season 1 – Episode 8:
Chapter 3 – (A) Side stories
A-4 = Push forward on that path
(Sin, Mokuren, MC)
MC - Hello~.
Sin- .....You came.
MC- He....hello.
MC- (How powerful.....!)
MC- Excuse me, is it okay if I take a tour today? There is a rehearsal for W today, right?
Sin- If you have a wish, make it come true with your own hands. I don't think there is anything worth watching though.
MC - Eh, ah, um, thank you very much.
Sin- Are you worried about Kokuyou and Mokuren? I've heard you have been asked to judge them.
MC - Yes......but it's difficult for me to decide who wins and who loses on stage.
Sin-......Hmmmm. Some say there are only two paths in life.
MC - Two paths... do you mean like left and right?
Sin- What is right to you?
MC- Oh the right, the right well....it's hard to explain.
Mokuren- Oh, Sin seems to like you. A conversation is being established.
MC - I'm grateful for that.....but I don't know if [the conversation] is established.
Sin- Mokuren, maybe you are coming from after your lesson?
Mokuren- Ah, well, I jumped into the dance lesson. I wanted to have barre lessons with people.
Sin- Do you feel better?
Mokuren- Probably, I was starting to develop some strange habits, but I was able to correct them.
MC - Barre lessons? Do you do that with [other] people?
Mokuren- Of course, one person is fine, but if someone else is there, you can get advice.
Mokuren- Because there are other people doing the same thing, it can be compared in the mirror.
Mokuren- How will people see me, and how will my dance be recieved?
Mokuren- A proper barre lesson will correct those assumptions.
Mokuren- Besides, it's good for clearing your mind.
MC - Barre lessons are fun, aren't they? That's good.
Mokuren- ....Maybe so. The basics made me belief in my dance.
Sin- A tree with rotten roots has no choice but to fall.
Sin- When Kei first came to 'Starless', he also forced Team W to 'redo the basics'.
Mokuren- It's just a slight increase [difference]. In the end, W hasn't changed its methods.
Sin- Do you want to change?
Mokuren- Maybe....what about you, Sin?
Sin- I haven't decided yet, but there are some things that I must protect.
MC - (Things to protect? Sin really is too mysterious).
Mokuren- What is it that you want to protect?
Sin- It's not clear.
Mokuren- That's just like you. You live in the clouds.
Sin- The one who eats the haze is the hermit. They have no desire at all.
Mokuren- Hah, that seems boring. Dance is a bundle of desire.
Sin- That is why you cannot be shaken. I have to learn from you too.
Mokuren- You from me?
Sin- It is precisely because I get lost that Ineed interdisciplinary studies.
Mokuren- Hmmm... I'll change my clothes. Let's practice together.
Sin- Do you hate studying?
Mokuren- I don't mind, I can explain to you which muscles are under stress while dancing.
Sin- I have never doubted your knowledge regarding dance.
Mokuren- Thank you
Sin- ....Mokuren, change is not a sin.
Mokuren- ......I've never thought about that.
Sin- Which one have you never thought about? Some people say that there are only two paths in life.
Mokuren- There is only one road. My only path is to dance.
To be continued...
A-4 = After story = Face yourself
(Qu, Mokuren, Yakou)
Qu- Hey, Mokuren, are you up already?
Qu- Lately you've been rushing home a lot. You used to go the lesson hall before.
Mokuren- I've been making a reservation for a barre lesson. I plan on continuing with that for a while.
Qu- Barre lesson? Why not go to another lesson venue?
Mokuren-Ah, well then, I'm going ahead.
Qu- .....Mokuren.
Yakou- Hey has Mokuren returned? There was a gift of donuts.
Qu- Yea, that often happens.
END.
A-5 = Don't look away
(Mokuren, Mizuki, Sinju)
Sinju- Ah, Mokuren, good morning.
Mokuren- Oh, good morning. Mizuki, it's also your shift? Don't slack off.
Mizuki- What? Are you complaining again?
Sinju- Cut it out Mizuki. Why are you arguing with Mokuren?
Mizuki- This guy keeps complaining about me.
Mokuren- Because I don't like you.
Sinju- What don't you like about him?
Mokuren-.....Did you not hear about it?
Sinju- Eh? .....Ah! Is it that? The stage jack, the other day!
Sinju- Ah, it doesn't bother me anymore. I wonder if Maica feels the same.
Mokuren- Hmm. That's quite lenient [of you].
Mizuki- You're too picky about it, moron.
Mokuren- I'm angry that you put it like that.
Mizuki- I left P and started having fun. Don't mess with me.
Mokuren- You really didn't like P?
Sinju- Mokuren, stop it.
Mizuki- I really hated Rindou.
Sinju- Mizuki, you stop it too.
Mokuren- I understand that you hated him but why did you stage jack?
Mizuki- Oh yeah, that's my bad.
Mokuren- No, I just think it was pathetic.
Mizuki- What!?
Sinju- STOP IT!
Mizuki- Shinju.....
Sinju- You're wrong, Mizuki. You didn't do it because you hated him.
Mokuren- What are you talking about, Sinju?
Sinju- You stage jacked because you had to.
Mizuki- At that time, Mizuki needed a stage. It's Team B's stage, not Team P's.
Sinju- I think you were in the wrong, but....I think it was so-so
Mizuki- Sinju....
Sinju- I don't understand why Mizuki hates Rindou so much.
Mokuren- I understand.
Mizuki- Why do you say you understand?
Mokuren- Because the top of W is Kokuyou.
Sinju- Does that mean that Mokuren also hates Kokuyou?
Mokuren- Don't compare me with Mizuki....but, I can't say that it's different.
Mokuren- I just don't want to give up in terms of performing. Mizuki with Rindou and myself with Kokuyou.
Mizuki- Of course, I don't even have nail scum anymore.
Mokuren- That I understand.
Mizuki- Then why did you say that earlier?
Mokuren- Because I hated it.
Mokuren- The way you suddenly took the stage. The way you didn't stand on the same playing field as your opponent.
Mokuren- You ran away from Rindou, without directly confronting him.
Mizuki- Shut up!
Mokuren- There will be someone who understands you. That's why Team B was formed.
Mokuren- That has nothing to do with me. You just stabbed him in the back.
Mokuren- Rindou allowed it and now Team B are here.
Sinju- Mokuren....
Mokuren- Rindou accomplished it. Not you.
Mizuki- Shut up! Shut up!
Mokuren- Well none of matters to me.
To be continued....

2nd Anniversary Event — Ignite A Noise
Que my skeleton rising from the grave just to dance to Ego because it slaps way too hard 😂
Anyway, I decided to take a break from my mind numbing grind in Granblue since I already finished Proving Grounds + I don't feel like fully grinding out for gems in Enstars yet (even though I should because I have dire needs for the upcoming puka puka)
I mean ANYWAYS Chapters 1-5 under the cut :D
-Ignite A Noise-
Thanks to Haseyama, Starless hastily reopened to celebrate its second anniversary before the full restoration of the shop. Each team received a stage script with five interpretations from one original text.
Chapter 1
Cast: Kei, Kokuyo, Rindou, Mokuren, Mizuki, MC
MC
(Today they’re going to be talking about the 2nd Anniversary Performance...)
Unei
Good work, everyone.
Today, we’ll be having an important conversation about the 2nd Anniversary performance-
Haseyama
Quit blabbering, Unei. Time is golden after all.
Oi, Kei. You’ve got the new song, so I’ll leave the 2nd Anniversary up to you.
Kokuyo
Why the hell does he know about it?
Haseyama
I’m the owner, aren’t I? There’s nothing I don’t know about my own shop.
Kei
Fine. A 2nd Anniversary show from the beginning. There’s no reason to spare.
Haseyama
Oh, since it is the 2nd Anniversary, I’ll be laying down some rules.
Even though it’s a celebration, it won’t be much different from usual. The customers should be happy when watching the show.
With that in mind, here are the 3 rules.
First: The shows during this period should only be about the 2nd Anniversary. However, you will all decide what to do.
Rindou
So we’re allowed to choose the program?
Haseyama
That’s right. After a bit of discussion, it was decided...Surely you can understand that, don’t you?
Second: Repeated performances and cast members are prohibited.
Mizuki
Huh? The hell do you mean?
Haseyama
Don’t do the same performance twice in a row. The same goes to the cast members.
Mokuren
That’s a pain. Why is there such a rule? (read: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T DANCE ON STAGE FOR THE WHOLE DAY?)
Haseyama
I’ve been receiving all of your selfish requests. Don’t keep using the same cast members, you’ll die from overworking.
In other words, this is the management looking out for you brats. You better be thankful.
Now, for the last one. Rule 3.
The cast members who get to perform on stage will be decided by this little lady. Really simple, isn’t it?
MC
H-huh!? I- I get to choose?
Haseyama
Yes, yes. You just need to tell daddy dearest. You don’t have to worry about the teams. (Don’t call yourself my daddy get out BLEGH)
It can be based on your favourite, or who seems to make the most profits. I’ll leave that decision up to you.
Mokuren
...Are you alright with that, Kei?
Kei
If that’s the case, all we can do is bear with it.
After all, this store is hers. Whoever she picks to be up on the stage will never be wrong.
Mizuki
Oi, MC. You know what to do, right? Pick everyone from Team B.
Rindou
Mizuki. Don’t pressure her.
Haseyama
Oi. If there’s any disagreements, take that outside.
This is all I have to say. All of you just have to do it or die trying, got it?
Unei
And without further ado, everyone, I hope everyone is able to prepare for the 2nd Anniversary performance well!
Oh, that’s right. Kei-san, when do you plan on giving Yakou-san his Team K stage outfit?
(everyone in visible shock)
Haseyama
...Hah? Yakou?
Kokuyo
Oi, Kei. The hell is he talking about?
Rindou
Yakou is coming back? And..he’s returning as a member of Team K?
Kei
…(sigh) My head’s in a daze right now...
This wasn’t my doing. And speaking of K, this matter doesn’t involve the rest of you.
Unei, I’ll talk to you later about the finer details.
Unei
Huh? Me? Why do you need to talk to me...?
Yakou will be returning for the 2nd Anniversary Performance. If there isn’t 25 people, the cast members will not be enough, right?
Kokuyo
You know, this talk is going way too fast. Is there any idiot who would come back after leaving?
Haseyama
Unei. If you’re done here, go back to work. You’re not coming back here until you find out what the hell is going on.
Unei
H-huh!?
Chapter 2
Cast: Zakuro, Mokuren, Kokuyo, Mizuki, Kei, Rindou
--A few days ago.
Zakuro
Oh my, oh my. All the tops of each team. I pray you forgive my impudence.
Mokuren
Talking pretentiously is fine. Just hurry up and get to the point.
Zakuro
Oya oya, such ridiculousness. The foundations for human relationships is not limited to labor, is it not?
Kokuyo
Sorry. I’m not good at exchanging words, so will my fists do instead?
Zakuro
Terrifying, as expected of Team W’s top. Even in such a place, your savagery is outstanding.
However, I do not wish to have my face shape changed. Without further ado, let’s begin, shall we?
This is regarding the 2nd anniversary celebration of Mr. And Mrs. Miki’s Starless.
Rindou
This is...a screenplay and recording?
Zakuro
Yes, it would be wise to hand these over to your respective teams. This is all for the 2nd anniversary.
Kokuyo
Hah....why the hell do I have to bother giving it to them.
Mokuren
I agree.
Mizuki
Oi. Where’s Team B’s recording?
Zakuro
Surely if we present the script, Heath will be ready to make one, yes?
Mizuki
‘f course! It’s ‘cuz Heath is amazing after all.
Kei
Dostoevsky? And it seems the source for all these is “The Brothers Karamazov.”
Zakuro
Correct. All five screenplays were derived from the same source material.
A grand play about the Karamazov clan’s feast. Different truths from different viewpoints, a commonplace theme in our world.
Well then, this is all the wisdom the heavens have deigned to grace me with.
The rest is up to our outstanding tops. Please guide us well.
Mokuren
Tch. You speak too much.
Haseyama
Hnn...I see.
Chapter 3
Cast: Akira, Maica, Heath
Akira
Hey, did you guys hear about the rules for the 2nd Anniversary?
Maica
Wasn’t it something like “If you perform once, take a break once,” or something?
Akira
Yeah, yeah. That one.
Maica
I’m pretty sure there were other rules too.
Heath
MC chooses who gets to go up the stage, and the performance will be decided by those cast members who were chosen.
Maica
Ah, that’s right.
Akira
So let’s say, I was put into a team with everyone from K, I wonder...?
Maica
What of it?
Akira
I’m from Team W after all, so my original performance should be “GOLGODA.”
Maica
That’s right.
And I’m with Team P’s “Only seek you.”
Heath
B’s is “Venom.”
Akira
So what happens if I’m put in with the Team K members? What’ll happen to “GOLGODA”...?
Heath
Well, if it’s going to be a vote of majority, wouldn’t you perform Team K’s “MADNESS JOKER”?
Akira
Right?
So I would have to sing ”MADNESS JOKER.”
Maica
...But at that point, wouldn’t the other people try to read the room?
Akira
Are the performers going to perform “GOLGODA” even though they aren’t used to it?
Maica
Ah...you have a point.
Akira
Majority vote is scary, ain’t it? There’s power in numbers, Maica.
Heath
Hey, Akira.
In the first place, it’s MC after all.
What kind of performance will it be if there’s no singer or MC?
Akira
Eh? There was such a thing?
Maica
Well, it’s possible...in theory.
Akira
Eh. But...isn’t that bad?
Heath
Maybe it is.
Maica
I’ll talk to MC in a bit. She needs to make sure she includes a singer in her selection.
(Your words can’t stop me I had a team of just all dancers)
Akira
See you later~ Hey, since it’s so important, you’ll have a word in for me, right?
Maica
Like hell I will.
Chapter 4
Cast: Yakou, Maica, Sinju
Maica
Fuu. I told MC about the singers, but I wonder if it will be okay in the meantime...
...Hn?
Why are you so deep in thought, Yakou?
Yakou
Ah, Maica.
It’s been a while since I last saw it, but the ceiling sure is huge...
Maica
Well, that big whale made of bones is gone after all.
Sinju
What’s up, you two? What are you talking about?
Yakou
We were just talking about the whale-less ceiling.
Sinju
Ah, the whale. It feels a bit lonely without that there.
Maica
Well, since there’s the risk that it may fall again, this is good for now.
Yakou
I think it’s really lonely without it. After all, you could see it even from the stage.
Sinju
He...ehehe.
Yakou
What the hell. Why are you laughing all of a sudden, that’s gross.
Sinju
Welcome back, Yakou!
Yakou
...But I didn’t even come back. I’m just here to help.
Sinju
But I heard from Unei that you were going to be in Team K.
Maica
Huh? You’re going to be in Team K?
Yakou
Ah, Unei actually contacted me a while ago. He said Team K was in a pinch, and asked for my help.
Maica
So that’s how it is...So won’t be Ginsei returning to K and Yakou won't return to P?
Yakou
Probably. This is a situation with Starless, so I have no idea either.
Sinju
But now we can be in Starless together again. Even if the teams are different, I’m still happy.
Yakou
What are you talking about, Sinju. This is the most convenient for both teams after all.
I won and you lost. It’ll hard to get revenge if we’re on the same team again.
Sinju
...Yeah. That’s right.
Next time, for sure, I’ll win! I won’t lost to Yakou again!
Maica
Yes, yes. And that’s as far as you two go. The first thing Sinju needs to do now is to continue cleaning.
And Yakou is only an understudy, right? You don’t have the authority to start a versus.
Climb up the ranks first, then we’ll have that rematch.
Yakou
Right. I was given another chance, so I’ll make sure to work hard in Team K.
But, I’m just an ordinary performer like Kasumi. So, please adjust the shift accordingly.
Sinju
Yep! Once again, let’s both do our best, Yakou!
Chapter 5
Cast: Menou, Hari, Kasumi
Menou
..By the way, I just saw Yakou here earlier. Did he come back to Starless?
Hari
No, formally he hasn’t returned yet.
While continuing to work in his day job, he’s volunteering to help perform here at Starless.
Menou
So he’s doing this without getting paid? Why?
(Good question Yakou why the fuck-)
Hari
It may be a conflict with his morning job. There are many places that place a rule that prohibit them from working side jobs.
Menou
That’s irrational.
Hari
Plus, it seems he’s starting here as an understudy for Team K.
Menou
Heh, so he’s not back to Team P?
Why though? It would have been more fun if he came back to us in Team P.
Kasumi
Well, Team P does have Ginsei now, so~
Here are the rest of the vegetables. Menou, weren’t you supposed to be peeling them?
Menou
Well, I am pretty inept after all~
By the way, how is Kasumi able to work as a salaryman while attending the shows?
Kasumi
Eh? What do you mean?
Menou
I mean, wouldn’t you want to play the center role? How would you be able to?
Kasumi
I’m from the mob after all~
Us mobsters have our own roles.
Menou
Hm, you won’t budge, will you?
Hari
Well, I think I understand what Menou is trying to say.
Yakou is very ambitious.
He won’t sit by and just idly stay as an under or 5th place.
Continuing to perform at the top of the stage while working as a salaryman is no problem for him at all.
Kasumi
Ah, I feel a bit embarassed now that you say that.
Menou
Yeah. Amazing~
Hari
He’ll only be suffering from here on out. He’s basically living life between a rock and a hard place from now on.
Menou
Really? If it were me, I’d just let go of my main job without a doubt, I think.
Hari
...Is that so?
Menou
Since...Wait, no. I need to be peeling the vegetables right now.
Hari
You should at least tell me why you would, since you already started.
Menou
Just because I feel like it. Now, let’s get to work. We can’t open the store without finishing preparations, can’t we?
Kasumi
Menou, you’re peeling it way too hard.
