So in addition to this being my first magazine translation and therefore terrible, I haven't actually proofed this. If it doesn't make sense, it's because I didn't understand it. Any concrit is welcome.
YOU are the third member of TakiTsuba, ne?

Nakayama Yuma
Uncover the mysterious triangle relationship!?
As teacher and student, Takizawa and Yuma have built a relationship of trust.
Takizawa's partner, Imai Tsubasa is also close to Yuma, the third member of TakiTsuba!?
Packed into this private talk, the premonition that the distance is narrowed.
The first consultation with Takizawa-kun
Recently, you've eaten together. Even so, when Takizawa greeted you, you were fidgeting...
Yuma: This time, I was really, really happy to hear that I'd be able to talk with Takizawa-kun!
Takizawa: Ahaha. Well, of all my kouhai, I was also looking forward to Yuma's special presence.
Yuma: For me, Takizawa-kun is the senpai I've become most indebted to. However, this free talk today feels weird... It's always a formal situation when we speak.
Takizawa: Like... Johnny-san's birthday party (laughs)?
Yuma: That's it! Joshima (Shigeru)-leader and I met by chance, before the idea was planned, "So this, it's the first consultation with Takizawa-kun!" he said.
Takizawa: The result is, I almost have that setting. Improving good qualities, wouldn't I seem like an artisan?
Yuma: Nff. That's the perfect word (laughs). You've been like that for a long time, haven't you? The first time we met, remember?
Takizawa: Shokura (The Shounen Club)'s studio. Johnny-san introduced you to me.
Yuma: I still remember that! That was about eight years ago.
Takizawa: I thought, "Ah, this kid will debut" (laughs).
Yuma: I thought "Uwa-, Tackey!" I was overwhelmed. But, your working conditions were impossible! Johnny-san said, "Tackey, introduce this kid," and you just said, "Ah~ okay, okay!"
Tackey: Ahaha. Is that how he asked? But, I had the artisan's temperament (laughs). From there, we even became friends from co-starring in 2011's stageplay, Takizawa Kakumei!
Yuma: That's right. That time I really became indebted to you.
Takizawa: But, unlike my other kouhai, you were impressive because you didn't come hungry for more. First, I thought contacting you once would be okay.
Yuma: I would practice my lines so I wouldn't forget. In private, I'd ask to be shown the edited movie, "After work, do you have time?"
"It's time to sleep!" they'd say.
I was too stoic. Bakemon, I thought.
Takizawa: Ahaha. Things like sleep keep you calm and even, right?
Yuma: It is amazing. After that, even the first day...
Takizawa: Eh, when did you get soft?
Yuma: After the show finished, "Aren't you exhausted?" you asked.
The honest answer was, "I'm exhausted." I thought I had no guts and that I would break.
"No, I'm not exhausted," I said.
"Why aren't you tired?!" you said.
Takizawa: Ahaha. "And anyway, I'm angry either way!" said that guy. But with other kouhai, it seemed like they'd answer, "I'm exhausted." You were away from them, it seemed. In fact, although it was tightly scheduled, you did it indifferently, and without a single complaint. Although you have a delicate image from your appearance, I think it's much more manly than being muscular.
Yuma: No, no, compared to Takizawa-kun's chivalrous spirit, I'm just me!
The thing about Yuma is, it looks like he fits with Tsubasa.
Imai Tsubasa is Takizawa's partner and has co-starred in the show PLAYZONE with Yuma. Yuma knows the real face of the Tackey & Tsubasa pair, and the mystery is making us anxious!
Takizawa: Maybe because Yuma has co-starred with senpai, everyone thinks he's cute and shy. I think he's a genius.
Yuma: Is that so... I have many fears.
Takizawa: Tsubasa thinks so too. Furthermore, me and Tsubasa fit with you (laughs). When PLAYZONE begins, the mood becomes, "Oh, you've gone over there~"
Yuma: Ehh (laughs)!?
Takizawa: Kind of, when Tsubasa and I meet, he's different from when you and Tsubasa meet.
Yuma: What is that?! That bothers me.
Takizawa: You know, shinme are each other's weak places. On the other hand, I don't know Tsubasa, Tsubasa does not know me, there are things which only you see.
Yuma: I'm glad. But, you send me home by car and I'm certain you've had the same, but I haven't been to your house. In private, I think you're a mystery.
Takizawa: Oh, really? Want to come over?
Yuma: Seriously! What kind of feeling does your house have? How big, is it far from Shinagawa Station?
Takizawa: I wonder why! Usually, even.
Yuma: Ehh, imagine it changing. I wonder. Do you like the atmosphere of Tsubasa-kun's room?
Takizawa: What!? You've been to Tsubasa's room?
Yuma: I have!
Takizawa: SERIOUSLY!!
Yuma: Yes, twice (laughs).
Takizawa: Ohh... is that so?!! But, me too, I'm certain I've been twice! Tsubasa likes to invite people into his house. I'm the type who likes to eat out. And I'm not the fashionable one. He's pretty stuck. He has a shelf for show, and you absolutely have to sit on a chair!
Yuma: Ahaha. I've been, you know ♪
Takizawa: My room is more simple.
Yuma: A large living room and only a sofa! I have that image.
Takizawa: Yeah... I'm already a little mono, aren't I? (laughs)
Yuma: Eh, what colour system do you have?
Takizawa: Monotone system.
Yuma: That's you-ish!!
Takizawa: I am me, "My room is entirely pink ♪" I once said and probably surprised him!
Yuma: Eh, Takizawa-kun are there any kouhai who have been there?
Takizawa: Ahh, I may not have invited them recently.
Yuma: Well, wouldn't me being the first after a long time be good?
Takizawa: Okay, okay.
Yuma: Yes-! After this do you have plans? Are you free?
Takizawa: Sleeping, or... going out to eat with friends.
Yuma: Is it a group outing?
Takizawa: I don't go out with groups much.
Yuma: Why? Why is that?
Takizawa: Eh, I wonder... I just, up until now I haven't had the appetite for it.
Yuma: Never, I haven't heard that (laughs).
Takizawa: Your private life is quite the mystery to me. What do you usually do with your time?
Yuma: Well, I really like fishing.
Takizawa: Ah, I'd like to go fishing.
Yuma: Eh? Seriously?!
Takizawa: I would! I would! I've done it for work several times but would like to do it outside of work...
Yuma: Let's go fishing once. Please go with me. I have a spare rod for you. Let's go fishing for the first time!
Takizawa: I deka want to go fishing. I thought, I'm an entertainer after all. ♪ Before this, I went a little in Ishinomaki.
(with both hands spread wide) I caught a dolphin.
Yuma: Eh, it was a dolphin?
Takizawa: Yup. There it was on my rod (laughs).
Yuma: Uwa-! Every fisherman aims for there.
Takizawa: But, I caught it!
Yuma: Excuse me. On the other hand, you should be teaching me (laughs).
Takizawa: OK! Then let's catch some swordfish.
Yuma: That's beyond our level!
Takizawa: Then, fishing will wait for Tsubasa to storm in.
Yuma: Your tension is too much, old man. Tsubasa-kun will think up a batsu game (laughs).
Still to be realised is Tackey & Tsubasa & Yuma's Manly Association. Soon, will they be reeling in gigantic fish!?
Notes:
- Google tells me that Bakemon is a kind of Digimon. I don't think that's what Yuma's referring to. Similar with deka.
- Shinme are symmetric dance partners. That entire bit confused me, so don't bother trying to understand it.
- You probably know what senpai, kouhai and batsu games are, but I might have missed some other random Japanese words.
