[Translation]Duet 04/2012 Mizuki+Kaoru BANG! Crosstalk
This cross-talk was full of one-sided love. Seriously, Kuramoto doesn't stop talking about how much he loves Mizuki for even a second. And Mizuki just sort of takes it, since resistance is clearly futile Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ. Basically, Mizuki views Kuramoto as a good friend to the normal extent, while Kuramoto takes his affection for Mizuki to absurd, yet adorable, levels. Either way, Kuramoto is definitely the dominant one in this relationship. My favorite parts of this crosstalk were all of Kuramoto's exaggerated emotions and declarations, and Mizuki's shocked and resigned responses to them. So basically, I liked the whole thing (＾▽＾).
Lets introduce the always super energetic fresh juniors. This month we’ll do a close up on the elementary school pairing Kuramoto & Inoue, and on 7 juniors who are great dancers in addition to them.
Question! Who is Mizuki-kun’s best friend?
If I don’t say “Kuramocchan”… You’ll get angry, won’t you?
Kuramoto: Starting this spring, we’ll be 6th graders at last!
Inoue: When we met, we were 4th graders, weren’t we.
Kuramoto: The first time I saw Mizuki-kun, I thought: “he’s a 3rd grader, isn’t he?”
Inoue: When I saw Kuramocchan, I thought you were in 6th grade (smile).
Kuramoto: We found out that we were in the same grade when the choreographer said: “4th grade group, gather round.”
Inoue: I have the memory that we became good friends after we were assigned the same dressing room in the 2011 Theater Crea stage performance.
Kuramoto: The two of us were really into freezing chocolate and eating it cold. Ah, but even now I’m still really into Mizuki-kun.
Inoue: What the heck are you talking about?
Kuramoto: I love Mizuki-kun, who is small and cute and can do backflips and is nice ♥
Inoue: Then, what will you do if I suddenly get really big?
Kuramoto: How tall are you right now?
Inoue: Umm, 150cm, I think.
Kuramoto: Liar!
Inoue: 141cm…
Kuramoto: Even if you grew 10cm, your cuteness wouldn’t change! (hugs Mizuki intensely)
Inoue: Nngaaaa (can’t escape)
Kuramoto: Won’t you say the parts of me that you like? If you say: “nothing,” I’ll get pissed off, you know ♥
Inoue: ‘cause Kuramocchan gets pissed off easily. When you say: “Mizuki-kun, lets go to the bathroom!” and I say: “I’m not going” and turn down the invitation, you say: “Haa!?”
Kuramoto: When I get turned down by Mizuki-kun, I lose my will to live.
Inoue: Ehhhhh! Then, I like the squishiness of your cheeks.
Kuramoto: Huh. So you’re not going to say anything about my personality… Is there nothing {you like about me} besides my cheeks!?
Inoue: I like the way you say funny things like that!
Kuramoto: Mizuki-kun… (hug)
Inoue: Yeah, yeah. (gives up)
Kuramoto: You know, I feel like Mizuki-kun’s parent.
Inoue: Yeah, yeah… Eh!?
Kuramoto: Because it’s my responsibility to protect Mizuki-kun when we go out, and show you affection!
Inoue: I can only think of you as a friend.
Kuramoto: It appeared, your rebellious stage! When you were asked in a survey: “whose your closest friend?” didn’t you answer: “Kaoru Kuramoto”, huh?
Inoue: That’s because Kuramocchan persistently said: “write it”…
Kuramoto: I, I never said that!
Inoue: You said: “Mizuki-kun picked me, didn’t you~?”
Kuramoto: So I didn’t say something like “write it,” did I?
Inoue: Well, before you said it, I’d already written it.
Kuramoto: I love this shy side of you too ♥. Now then, lets ask a new question! Who is Mizuki-kun’s best friend?
Inoue: If I don’t say that it’s Kuramoto…
Kuramoto: I won’t force you {to say that} today.
Inoue: Among the juniors, it’s Kuramocchan.
Kuramoto: And outside of the juniors?
Inoue: Shota Totsuka-kun! Because he’s nice. Other juniors who I’m close to are Tatsuya Fukasawa-kun and Yuuki Nozawa-kun.
Kuramoto: They are formidable enemies indeed!... It’s fine if only nice to me when we’re together. Mizuki-kun, you ask me a question too.
Inoue: Ehhh, I don’t really have any.
Kuramoto: … (speechless) Dummy, dummy! Say something!
Inoue: Haaa… (sigh) Then, I suppose, if the two of us were going to play together, what would you want us to play?
Kuramoto: Lets go to an amusement park!
Inoue: I can’t do thrill rides.
Kuramoto: Then, an aquarium?
Inoue: That doesn’t have the feeling of playing.
Kuramoto: Ummm, ummm.
Inoue: It’d be fun if other juniors came along too, right?
Kuramoto: … Fine, whatever. To heal my wounded heart, I’ll go off on a journey.
Inoue: Ah, taking a trip would be nice.
Kuramoto: Yes, we’ve decided on taking a trip!
Inoue: I want to play in a big onsen. There are places that have baths like wave pools, aren’t there?
Kuramoto: Yes, yes, how far away will the waves wash the two of us ♥
Inoue: Lets get the people from Duet to take us.
Kuramoto: Uh… Can’t he helped. I’ll accept just those addition people.
Inoue: And with that, this month’s pairing planned that it’s to an onsen we will GO ♪
Kuramoto: For Mizuki-kun’s sake, I’m counting on you, people from Duet! (desperate)
