Since I'm currently addicted to Hakuouki, like how I am always addicted to bishies, I stalked it on YT and found one of the most epic seiyuu live drama uploaded. How I love Japanese dub, and the seiyuus' voices are so good to the ear. Tsuda-san *___*

Since I saw some comments in YT wanting an English translation, I decided to give it a shot. Read for your own pleasure but please do not repost ^_^

Sannan K: Good day. I'm the Secretary General of the Shinsengumi, Sannan Keisuke.
 Oopsy. Ah, Please go ahead and clap without holding back.

*applause*
Sannan K: Thank you very much. Thank you very much.  And now, in this hot day in summer, this time of the day has come again. Red and White Hakuouki Udejiman. This program is brought to you by the Aizu Clan.
Nagakura S.: Ah...can you hold on for a while, Sannan-san?
Sannan K: Oh my, you're being hasty, Nagakura-kun. What is it?
Nagakura S.: Well, it's not that I'll say something bad. We just don't entirely  get what's going on here. 
Harada S.: Yeah, that is so true. What the heck is this?
Sannan K: Even Harada-kun? You really are impatient.

Harada S.: Whether I'm being impatient or not, anyone will be confused here. Right, Saitou?
Saitou H: Yeah. I seek an explanation on why we are here.
Sannan K: Even if you say that, there's a so-called protocol in everything. Later, I'll introduce the participants-
Nagakura S.: Such trouble is unnecessary!
Sannan K: However...
Harada S.: Quit it, Shinpachi. Sannan-san has his own ways of doing things.
Nagakura S.: Well, that's true, but...
Saitou H.: An incomprehensible situation must be explained first...
Harada S.: Just be quiet, Saitou!
Saitou H.: But I cannot possibly consent to this. Why are we-
Sannan K.: Saitou-kun. We'll discuss about that later on carefully and in details.
Saitou H.: Y-yes. Understood.

Harada S.: Don't die, Saitou.
Sannan K: For some reason, I heard a superfluous remark, but I'll let it slip off here. Anyway, everyone, keep from doing anything that will slow our progress.
Nagakura/Harada/Saitou: Y-y-yes...
Sannan K.: Now that I had pulled myself together. This Red and White Hakuouki Udejiman is a program wherein you will be divided into two groups, the Red and White, will compete each other about a given topic, and finally, be judged to decide the winner.

Nagakura S.: Ah, Red and White?
Harada S.: You mentioned we'll be divided into two group,  right? Since the three of us are here, how about the other group?
Saitou H.: No, wait. In the first place, what team are we?
Sannan K.: Saitou-kun! Be quiet.
Saitou H. Understood. But why only me?
Sannan K.: Saitou-kun..!
Saitou H. Understood.
Sannan K.: Good. Then, next...
Hijikata T.: Wait there! Hold on right there, Sannan-san. About this time, if you say "Hakuouki", doesn't that pertain to me?
Sannan K.: Oh, Hijikata-kun, is there anything you want?
Hijikata T.: Whether I want something or not...Say, Sannan-san. It's true I say that I'll cooperate to raise our funds. I did say that but WHY does my partner have to be this bastard of all people?!
Kazama C.: *smirk* Isn't that something inevitable as well? Sorry to keep you waiting. Or should I say, I was supposed to show up stylishly on a white horse as planned.

Sannan K.: I beg your pardon, Kazama-san. Our budget was used up for various matters...
Kazama C.: Hm. Well, that's fine. But there will be no second time.
Hijikata T. Quit it! Do that Red and White Udejiman or whatever, but associating with this demon bastard is something my pride will not allow as Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi!
Sannan K.: What a hassle. I never thought Hijikata-san is that whimsical.
Kazama C.: Just leave him be. What ticks this guy off is because he hates being compared to me who is overflowing with appeal, right?
Hijikata T.: What did you say?! You...who say I would tolerate such misbehavior?!
Sannan K.: Of course, Hijikata-kun is not a person who's intolerant of others' misbehavior.
Hijikata T.: Yeah! Of course!
Sannan K: Yes. Meaning, you should not have any complaints in this meeting.
Hijikata T.: E..eh?
Sannan K.: Isn't that right?
Hijikata T.: Tsk. Do what you like.
Harada S.: Even Hijikata-san cannot win against Sannan-san. 
Nagakura S. It can't be helped. When that person's wickedness kicks in, it's already over...
Saitou H.: Wicked or not, but anyway, I believe Sannan-san's progress is somewhat-
Sannan K.: Saitou-kun..!
Saitou H.: Understood!
Sannan K.:  Fu~ Then, we can finally proceed.

Harada S.: Geez, whatever, just continue! So, what are we going to do?
Nagakura S.: Are you stupid, Sano?! If it's udejiman, isn't it obvious that it's a battle of physical strength?!
Harada S.: I wonder about that, Shinpachi? If you are to measure one's manliness, isn't it obvious that it's a sake drinking battle?Saitou H.: How foolish. A battle fitting for warriors is using swo-
Sannan K: Saitou-kun..!Saitou H.: UNDERSTOOD!
Sannan K.: No, that's not it. 
Saitou H.: Hm? 
Sannan K.: I ask you to be the representative of the Red Team.
Saitou H.: Me?
Nagakura S.: We're the Red Team?
Harada S. Looks like it. Well, we'll see what Saitou got.
Hijikata T.: That means, we're the White Team here. So, what will I do?
Kazama C.: Isn't it obvious? You're to cheer for me.
Hijikata T.: Who would?!
Sannan: Hmm...that's right. For the White Team, Kazama-san will compete.
Hijikata T.: Wha..!
Kazama C.: Very well. It means that it is my turn, isn't it?
Sannan K.: Yes. Then, I ask the favor of the two of you. Now, then let me announce the topic for today. The topic of today's One-Shot Battle is: Muster your courage to confess for the first time. Declare the passion inside you and grab the heart of the girl you love.

Nagakura/Harada/Saitou/Hijikata: HUH?!

Sannan: Who will capture more hearts? The judges will be the audience here.Saitou H.:  C...confession...
Kazama C.: Isn't that an unexpectedly easy topic. 
Hijikata T.: Full of confidence, aren't we? Kazama-san.
Kazama C.: Of course. I am capable of anything.
Harada S.: This doesn't quite suit Saitou, right?
Nagakura S.: Y-yeah...he's the poorest talker among us. No way he can win.Saitou H.:  No, well..uh, yeah...

Sannan K.: Now, the two of you will come after the other. Then, let's proceed. Let the battle begin!
Kazama C.: Ha. Then, I'll start. Now, I'll now tell you the words you wish to hear. Listen to your hearts' content.
Kazama C.: I'm an Oni. And not just an ordinary Oni. I'm the leader of the Kazama Family, Demons of the West. The women there are in no position to choose . But I chose you. What dissatisfaction will it cause you? No, you are not dissatisfied, are you? Perhaps there's only one reason for you to defy me. You're scared to accept me and obediently bow your head to me. Then, I'll only say this once. Listen, only once. I vow my everlasting love to you, my lifetime partner.
Nagakura S.: Woah~~! Good! It's good! It's too good!
Harada S.: Hey-hey! What the- just how superior can he be?!
Hijikata T.: But, look at this hall's reaction. How about it?! Did it grab your hearts?!
Kazama C.: Those of you who fell for me should clap their hands. HUH? I can't hear you!  I can't hear you, Ladies! CLAP! *laughs*
I see. That much?
Sannan K.: Good work, Kazama-san.
Kazama C.: To be honest, it felt good.
Nagakura S.: T-that didn't sit well with me for some reason.
Harada S.: Hey, Saitou! Do your best!Saitou H.:  E-even if you tell me that...I-
Sannan K.: Saitou-kun!Saitou H.:  Understood!
Sannan K.: Then, Saitou-kun. Start!Saitou H.: Calm down. Clear your mind. This is a squad's duty. A squad's duty. Listen, I'm not good with words, but I'll do my best.

Saitou H.:  I don't know what you think of me, but as you can see, I am not an interesting person. Besides, my fate is tied to my sword till the end. Taking away the woman I love is something that's not allowed. But... B-but...

Nagakura S.: C-crap, Saitou has stopped!
Harada S.: Y-yeah. His nervousness has hit its limits. He needs encouragement at this kind of time. CHEER FOR HIM!

Nagakura S.: Louder!

Harada S.: Louder! Vote for Saitou!

Nagakura S.: Support Saitou!
Harada S.:  SAITOU! SAITOU! SAITOU! SAITOU!
We love you! We love you! We love you! We love you!
Harada S.: Go for it!
Saitou H.: Everyone...I understand. I set my resolve!
Nagakura S.: Okay! He can go with those support! Do your best, Saitou!Saitou H.: I set my resolve!

Saitou H.:  Even though I am this unskilled, I have no intention to lose to anyone when it comes to the depth of my love. I...I...fell in love with you, to the extent that I wish to be with only you forever. I have fallen for you.

Nagakura S.: SAITOU!!
Harada S.: You did well, Saitou! No ordinary person can give such an embarrassing confession!
Nagakura S.: Yeah! Isn't that deadly embarrassing?! Isn't that right, everyone?!
Saitou H.: H-h-how was it? I'm indebted to all of you. I'm really grateful.
Hijikata T: Hm. Having been done this far, we have no choice but decide this battle honestly, Kazama-san.
Kazama C.: Heh. In the first place, my confession did not need any courage. If you think about that, that man who genuinely mustered his courage is the winner, isn't it?
Sannan K.: It seems the match is over. The winner: Saitou!Saitou H.: I..won?

Hijikata T.: Yeah. Good job, Saitou. That was embarrassing!
Nagakura S.: Yeah! Only you can do such an embarrassing confession!
Harada S.: That's right. It was embarrassing that you can't imagine you're a man old enough to know better.
Kazama C.: Hm. What an embarrassing man!Saitou H.:  Wha- wait a sec, everyone!

Sannan K.: Now, it's also time for the program to finish. Did you have a fun week? Until next week. Next time, we'll bring you a mo~re embarrassing Saitou-kun. 
Saitou H.: Wa- hey -ah!
San: Then, goodbye!Saitou H.: Just how...embarrassing was my confession?

SAITOOOUUUU!!! LOL.
