Kuronoatmosphere 2021 Animate Times Interview Unofficial Eng.Translation (Show By Rock!! Fes A Live)

Hi, hi~!! Rocker Reporter here to give my fellow rockers in the English circle some wonderful translated content of the new band band "Kuronoatmosphere"!! I have my wonderful friend summerx on Twitter & Instagram to thank for helping me out here since I myself I'm still studying Japanese aaaー

Before we get to the interview part, make sure to follow @sb69er_eng on Twitter for updates and much more all things related to SB69~!! It's still brand new so pardon the current emptiness (as well as the slight disorganization of this blog at the time of writing this ^^; ). There are plans on taking in translation requests and so much more so be sure to keep an eye out for that~~

Without further ado, here it is~~!!!

Original article: https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1611884574 (Actual interview starts on page 2).

Translator's notes:

- Whenever 659 talks, he uses "wai" to say "I" (Like "watashi" but... cuter ?? )

- The twins make jokes as if they are a comic duo. - PNME (Prime Number Music Entertainment) = The research institute of USC. Just the other day, it was reported that it has been attacked by someone.

- USC = A music nation that is beyond the sea, in the far west of MIDICITY. For some reason, it currently can't be contacted.

- Unishuran: List of restaurants rated by 13 from his very own point of view.

-T.N. = Translator's note.

===========================================================================

--- I've seen the MV! The video but also the sound composition itself was very cool, combining a profound feeling with a smooth transition between the two. With what kind of feeling was it created?

13（E-me)：That question is meaningless. The process is not important, only the result is.

151（Ecoy)：Oi oi, isn't that a bit too cold? Well, if you ask me what was great, after all it's my bass, isn't it?

661（Roroy)：Here it is. The old man's (ossan) singing his own praise. That's such an unfashionable thing.

659（Rocoku)：That's right that's right! What's cool is An-chan's keyboard! Yo! An-chan!

919（Nyke)：You two shits... It's a question about the song. You're getting on my nerves...!

--- Excuse me... It was a foolish question, uh... Anyway, I would like to ask the vocalist 919-san your thoughts about the singing. Your rough but mellow voice and its peculiar low tone, is it because of how well you trained your body?

919：... ... Don't know. You should know by watching the MV.

---That's riーght.

13：Answer the question, 919. You're Kuronoatmosphere's vocalist.

919：Tsk... ... I'll splatter everything pitch black. Just that. I don't mind doing whatever for that reason.

---"Splatter it pitch black", uh... Your voice and your body, they're both for that sake.

151：Ahah, listen! This guys used to be a terrific *hyorogari! (*thin but well-trained) It took me time and effort to temper it thoroughly​. Right?

919：Hah? Don't joke around! I don't remember being trained by you!

--- Let's get back on track. For the five members of Kuronoatmosphere, like I did in my previous interviews, I would like you to introduce yourselves.

13：Kuronoatmosphere. Roll-call.

919：No.919. ... 919 (Nyke).

661：No.661. 661 (Roroy).

659：No.659♪ 659 (Rocoku)！

151：No.151. 151(Ecoy)！

13：No.13. 13 (E-me).

919：...Oi, why are we doing this here!

661：It's useless to do an introduction one by one. I only speak through the keyboard.

659：It's just like An-chan says! Well, if you don't feel like it I'll do it for you! First of all, this ikemen with transcendental keyboard skill in charge of this tsukkomi genius, my An-chan 661! His younger brother is in charge of drums, which is me, 659! We're twins, but we don't really look alike. The rest is just an extra, that big and tsundere one is 13, in charge of guitar. Wouldn't it be better to talk a little?

13：Only make remarks that are useful. Now's not the time.

659：Hah? E-me, you...

661：13(E-me) doesn't really have an *E-meaning. Can't be helped. (* It's a joke with "E-me" and "Imi" which means "reason/meaning" in Japanese!)

659：That's my An-chan for you! The man of Tsukkomi! ... But that's not my aim! So, after this pause I'll continue! Next up is the one playing the bass, with dangerous ideas that go beyond his meathead, 151! By the way, it's the old man of Kamatte-chan.

151：Haha, that's not a praise! You're as unforgiving as usual. There's a lot of strong guys going in and out of Animate Times, right? Me and these ones who'll bet their souls on this fight will keep you company, so let's get along?

661：Uwaah, your dangerous thoughts are really showing. Moreover, you're always up for a fight. Please entertain me, old man.

659：Now, here's the one who's irritated all year long and is perpetually lacking calcium, 919, the man in charge of vocals and guitar! He snaps so frequently, our irritated king. He's super sensitive, yet so pointlessly diligent...

919：You... this is quite the good chance. That mouth that never shuts up, I'm going to make it so that I don't ever hear from it again...

661：The kind of kids who snap on spinal reflexes*. Real enjoyable comrades. Can't be helped. (T.N.: instinctively)

---Thank you, 659, 661. By the way, why are your name digits? They're all prime numbers, right?

13：While identifying an individual, numbers hold no inconsistency.

---I see... ?

151：Whether it's a name or a symbol... What's important is whether we're strong or weak... You know? Whether it's win or lose.

661：I haven't been aware about the name until now. I wonder whether to put "Shit" or "Idiot" on my head. Isn't that right? Idiot 659。

659：Oi, that's not a grade up! Well, An-chan is gonna be An-chan whatever the name is. I never really cared about my name!

919：Hn... Whatever. About the name.

---I se........... ?? I understand. Then, please now tell us about your origins!

659：Our origin, uh...is this about our hometown?

661：About that, me and Idiot 659 were born in the PNME 's laboratory. So that would be the origin.

659：Well! No matter the origin, if there's An-chan, it's a Utopia!

151：I don't care if you know but... there's a huge underground city​ in USC. Well, as you might guess, it's a city with no dreams nor hopes. The only thing you can believe on is power. It's win or lose, rob or be robbed! It was a fun place.

---I see! I think I understand the reason behind 151's wildness.

919：... I don't have a birthplace. I don't need something like that.

13：I'm not obligated to answer. State the next question.

---I'm sorry! Then I'm asking a question to 659 and 661. Speaking of twins, did you know that 'another band' also has twins?

659：Are there as many twins as the stars? I don't know about other twins that stand out like us. An-chan?

661：I don't know and I'm not interested in any of them. Even if I knew everything's going to turn black, so it's useless, useless.

---Also, a question for 919. Isn't it said that you look like someone? Could it be that you have siblings?

919：Hah? ... what a shitty question. I don't have that kind of thing... ... it's getting on my nerves!

151：Haha! Sorry about this one's feelings over the place! He used to be cute when he was small! The name I heard at that time... Certainly, it was... Gai... *

919：Shut up, asshole! I'll beat you!

151：How nice, those rebellious eyes!! It's been a while since we did some training! Come oooon!!!!

（Please wait for a while.）

--- ... Is it okay already? Can we resume the interview? Is that okay? There are still many mysteries around Kuronoatmosphere, and I also want to hear about your personal obsession! (TN: in Japanese it says 'My boom', which is slang for that)

659：Recently, sightseeing in MIDICITY has been extremely cool ♪ Going with An-chan is really fun.

661：I got a coupon from 13's handmade tourist guide. Well, it's all a treat from Idiot 659 anyway.

919：You two are just playing around all the time!

151：Ehi 13, is there something like a "map of the strong people in MIDICITY"? Fighting for life with strong guys is my life work, more than my personal obsession.

13：I'll consider it. Let's also attach a coupon that changes day by day.

919：What about a coupon... Tch, every last one of them get on my nerves!!

659：Isn't getting mad the irritated champion 919's personal obsession～？

919：Ahhh?? Who's the irritated champion... I'll beat you!

661：Idiot. Your resistance to instigation is too low. Anyway, does 13 have a hobby?

13：The second tourist guide is under production. I'm also working on an update for Unishuran.

---Actually, is this your first time in MIDICITY?

919：... Tsk.

151：For me it's the first time. Come to think of it... A competent spy that was popular in the underworld should be a bartender somewhere in this city. I only heard rumors, but do you know anything about it? I really want to have a contest with him!

661：Jeez, what a weird old man. For me and idiot 659, the outside world is new.

659：We've only known things through a television for a long time in the lab. "What kind of world is outside～" and that excitement, USC soon turned black. There are a lot of things seen for the first time in MIDICITY. Everyone seems to be having fun, it's a city worth crushing ♪

--- "Worth crushing" ... ?

661：Idiot 659. You're speaking too much on your own.

13：I got a grasp of the entire MIDICITY's Unicloud database's information. I don't have the impression that it's the first time. (TN: He doesn't feel like it's his first time in MC)

--- Then, assuming you could take a day off tomorrow, what would you do with the 5 of you?

919＆151：Training.

659：Oh, it was splendidlyharmonious!

661：Gross. So you get along well.

919：Stop saying shit! I train alone.

151：Oooi, don't say such a lonely thing. It seems we'll all make some sweat flow!

661：Stupid ass. It's better to stay on the black ship and count the unevenness of the waves.

659：I will also count with An-chan! --- but what is the unevenness of the waves? Can you count it?

13：Emergencies aside, there are no restrictions set on each member's actions. That as well is in Kuronoatmosphere's terms of contract.

--- I don't really get whether you get along or not, but is it possible for the 5 of you to properly do something together besides the band activities?

919：Tsk, like a brats' trip... it's crap.

659：Waao!! The most unsuitable one for group activities say that!

151：Haha!! Then should we go hiking for training? Let's make it a contest about who can reach the top of the mountain first, and let's bet our souls on it! How about it?

661：Muscle-brained idiots are open all year round and I can't handle it. (TN He spoke in Haiku) I'm definitely not going. Though, it would be okay if we went to an amusement park.

13：... Outdoors recreation, uh. I'll consider it.

919：I'll check it. After all, I have no intention of getting along with you. It only works for the sake of our contract and objective! Don't forget about it!

13：Yes. It's fine for now.

--- I heard you're spending your free time inside your black ship. What are you exactly doing?

151：I'm doing various things with 13's plan. Was it a sea urchin basket the other time? (TN: they probably did like a fruit basket but with sea urchin)

659：Yes, with our chairs in circle, no? At the end, 919 got angry and kicked the chair.

661：It's extremely rare here.

919：...........

659：919? 919-kun? What's wrong?

661：I can't believe it. This one's sulking in the middle of the interview.

151：Leave it alone, even 919 has times like that, no? It's because he's a sensitive "adolescent" ! Ahahah!!

919：... I'll crush you!!!

（Please wait for a while. ）

13：Leisure activities are planned accordingly with the season and the time. The next scheduled one is Folk Dance. The song is "My unim My unim" arranged by me.

919：Who's gonna dance!?

---Please tell us a little more about your private life in this condition. I heard that 919's hobby is cooking, so have you been cooking recently?

919：Tch... because the diet on the Kurofune is unbalanced. Moreover, you can't just eat rations or canned foods. I don't want to always have that, it's not a meal... I'm irritated.

661：Now that I think about it, the Gomoku Inari that 919 made the other time was delicious.

659：Ah!! The beef tendon stew that he made was also good!! The pumpkin pudding that was in the fridge too!!

919：!? I thought it was gone suddenly but it was you two!?

151：Ah, then I'll ask for a carrot cake. With fresh carrots on the top!

919: As if I'm making it!!!

---Then, with this flow, let's also talk about fashion points!

151：Ah, it's that one. No?

661：Well, if we have to say it properly, it must be that.

919：Ah? What's "that"?

659：If it's that, it's that. It's decided!

13：It's included in the contract.

919：Ah...?? Say it clearly, I'm getting upset.

661＆659＆151：Naked necktie.

919：... I'm going to crush you guys!!! It's not even mentioned in the contract!! Don't say unreliable things!!!

13：I am willing to tell lies if necessary. For our objective's sake.

--- At first I was wondering about what would happen, but it was a fun interview. Thank you very much! Lastly, if you have a message for the readers, go ahead!

919：The one that makes me mad, the city that makes me mad and even the music, I'll splatter it all black. Tremble in despair and wait... hn.

661：I'm not going to chatter pointlessly. I'll talk through the keyboard. If you want to know about me, you can come to the lives. That's all.

659：Kuuhh--!! An-chan is so cool!! Cool!! A message, uh? That's right! I'll crush the bands in MIDICITY one by one, like it's a domino, whack-whack-whack!!! Like that. I look forward to it♪

151：All the guys who are ready to bet their souls in their fists, come at me. I'll challenge you at all times! .... However, only if you are ready to lose everything! Ahahah!!!

13：The plan is progressing on schedule. Kuronoatmosphere's voyage is going well.

---I'm mesmerized!!! Thank you very much!!!

//End of interview

Other notes:

(Major spoilers to main story in Fes A Live)*TN: His real name is Gaijun: if 151 completed his sentence it would come out that 919 is Sojun's brother
