I promised two translations to two people and decided it would only be fair to post them both at the same time.

Akashi's 'Let's Reveal Everyone's Secrets' #2
To all readers of Kageki, heeelloooooo!! ...Hm? Not enough energy; one more time. HEEEELLLLOOOOOOOOO!! ...And now I'm getting carried away, so I'll leave it at that... This month I've once again come to do this corner. I am Ayami Haya, "Hayaya", who lately has been told "you're an odd person, aren't you?" :3
I am currently in rehearsals for Hello! Dancing... Since I've been dancing like crazy as I never have before, I took up my pen with a cramped and shaking arm. In any case, this performance is dancing, dancing, DANCING, DANCING... I'm encircled by two upperclassmen whom I rely on, my batchmate Amao, and 16 cuu~te underclassmen, and basically we dance from morning to night. To those underclassmen who don't have a lot of experience, at first there are many things you can't do, but I am always amazed by your open minds and speed of absorption. When I see girls doing things they couldn't do before, my own heart cries out "Kurara stood here*!" T___T Certainly youth and the stage of memories and things you can only do now = priceless! They have a value that money cannot buy (but by the time this comes out it will be over [tear emoticon])
But for us, we've just begun. This time we've been given the chance to do one of the scenes from the New York performance, so as a reference we were shown that recording. Our eyes were opened to the great power in that dance scene. And next to the great Oura Mizuki-sensei, dancing magnificently with a smile, a marvelous person... Looking closely, O_O it was our own kumichou, Junko-san (Ema Naoki)!! [hearts for eyes] And so, I could have no other person than Junko-san for my interview attack!!
Q. I would like to ask about back then...
J: "That was... a five-fingered memory that remains within me. At that time, I thought 'I can try this hard?'... How to put it? You could say I realized my limitless potential?"
That's so like Junko-san. As I would expect, her comments have a different flavor from the first to the second taste. With moistened eyes I will gaze in the direction of the day after tomorrow; I received much instruction for my own benefit. I will take this opportunity to save it on the SD memory card of my heart. ["OK" sign]
[...Possibly the best "E to Bun" line ever. HAYA-CHAN LOVE <33333]
Q. I heard that you tore your stomach muscle.
J: "Aahhh. I tore it. I did tear it. Everyone tore it."
Amazing◊◊ I was deeply impressed by these words, so I would like to selfishly open a "Hello! Dancing Stomach Muscle Tearing Championship" [fist emoticon] How many people will tear theirs, I wonder XD Look forward to it ;-)
Next, I will go on thinking of things related to the rehearsal room and continue to reveal them.
During breaks I observe everyone. And I noticed a frightening (?) reality. Compared to normal rehearsals, the percentage of people eating something during break time is too high. Certainly this time even I am always eating on break... Is this the body complaining that "if your belly is empty you can't battle"? But as opposed to the normally most popular snack, chocolate, this time what seems to be number one by far and away is okaki [thin-cut mochi baked or fried]. What a mystery~ :-O Then again, I soon solved the puzzle. Since this time everyone is sweating more than usual, they're having a salt deficiency ^_^;; It's really true that your body wants to have salty things :3
Moreover, I spoke to Katsuki-san (Suzuno Katsuki), hoping to get material.
Q. Don't you have any material?
K: "Oh, 'E to Bun'? That's fast. How's this? 'Ayami, Quickly E to Bun'."
[This is a "double-punch" like Akashi's title idea, since it includes both parts of her name - "quickly" being hayaku in Japanese.]
That is extremely amusing, but I'm sorry [swirl emoticon] the title has already been decided, so I will use this as a subtitle. m(__)m Even so, I really get the feeling that this corner is destined to have old man's jokes no matter how we try to cut them out...
Changing places to Hallelujah-san, I got a secret from Kin-san (Asamine Hikari) [thumbs up emoticon] Somehow she has mastered imitating Shimiko (Kazu Ryouka)... She sang a song for me.
K: ♪~♪~ (from Hallelujah GO! GO!)
That's... reeeaaally similar~~~ XO
Q. What's the trick?
K: "The points are~ the image of having a long nose, and the image of having droopy eyes, and moving the muscles in your face... I think."
As you would expect, the image is important, huh~ Shimi-jimi... I can't really do it as well as Kin-san, but [swirl emoticon] Everyone, please do try to practice it too ^__^
And, well, that's it for this month. Next month will finally be the last one!! I invite you to look forward to it ;-)
See you again next month~ [waving emoticon]
* I'm sorry, whatever this means I am too lazy to contemplate. >___<;;

In other news, Akashi is crazy and hilarious and love. <3
