Tsukinaga Leo Birthday Interactions

Stories

Izumi

Leo: It’s Sena, it’s Sena~! Let’s eat some treats together!


Izumi: Oi, Leo-kun!? Even though you’re super excited, I don’t want something that has that many calories!


Leo: Wahahaha☆ Coming to my birthday party, Sena’s pretty kind~ ♪


Izumi: Not really, I’m not ‘kind’.

I only came because it’d be strange if I didn’t show up this year after celebrating all the other years.

So that’s why I’ll say it once again this year. ‘Happy birthday, Leo-kun’.

Arashi

Arashi: Leo-kun, happy birthday…… ♪ I prepared a special present for you today.


Leo: Special? What is it what is it, show me, quick!


Arashi: Come on, don’t be greedy. The present’s not going to run away, you know?

…...Oh dear! I seem to have forgotten the present back at the dorm. I’ll go get it right away!


Leo: Nah. There’s no need for that, Naru. The present’s not going to run away, right?

I’ll get the present afterwards, so let’s have fun here right now. You’re acting like me ♪

Ritsu

Leo: O~i, Rittsu! Thanks for the birthday~ ☆


Ritsu: What’s that. What do you mean by ‘thanks for the birthday’?


Leo: Well~, because a lot of other people have been saying ‘happy birthday’, I’ve been experiencing Gestaltzerfall¹.


Ritsu: That as it may be, isn’t ‘thanks’ weird? I do~n’t get it.

Then again, this isn’t the first time that I’ve not understood Tsukipi~’s reasoning...... ♪

Happy birthday, Tsukipi~. I’m looking forward to more reasoning that I can’t understand in the future.

Tsukasa

Tsukasa: Happy Birthday, Leo-san. Being able to celebrate your birthday once again this year……


Leo: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪


Tsukasa: Hey Leo-san. Please don’t get absorbed in composing and listen to what I’m saying!


Leo: I am listening properly. You’re so happy that you can celebrate my birthday that you’re going to cry, is that right~ ?


Tsukasa: Ah come on, I’m not crying. But……

It’s true that I’m happy. From my heart, I’m thankful that you were born…… Leo-san ♪

Madara

Madara: Leo-saaaaan! Happy birthdayyyyy! I brought a presentttt…… ☆


Leo: Wahaha, it’s a samurai helmet! Why don’t we start a battle~ ?


Madara: Speaking of the 5th of May, it’s Tango no Sekku². Not many people these days decorate their homes with samurai helmets, so I wanted to give you this as a present!


Leo: Tango no Sekku…...tango……

Aah, inspiration is coming! ―It seems I can write a song, I’ll call it ‘Tango’s Tango’!


Madara: Ohh, that seems fun. Once it’s done, I’ll definitely want to dance to it!




Notes:
¹ Gestaltzerfall- a psychological phenomenon where delays in recognition are observed when a kanji character is stared at for a while (sort of like when an english word is stared at for too long and it becomes meaningless)

² Tango no Sekku - Boy’s Day celebration

Mini Talks

Leo: O~i, Anzu. I came back like I promised!

It’s amazing I’m actually back? You reminded me so much that I couldn’t possibly forget.

I even had a dream about the party, you know~ ?


You can’t have a party without the star!

Leo: Even if I wasn’t here, I think you’d be able to make it work, Anzu.

You could stick one of my posters on the wall, or put up a life-sized panel of me or something.

…...A birthday party without the person in question- it’s pretty interesting if you let your ideas run wild. I could use this as the theme for a song ♪
_____________________________________________

Leo: That’s true. Of course I know that.

I mean, if I wasn’t here, there’d be a noisy guy here instead, right?

A certain someone, like Suo~, and Suo~...... and finally, Suo~ ♪ Wahaha ☆


What kind of dream was it?

Leo: Hmm~...... I forgot!

I remember it had something to do with the party, but other than that, it’s all a blank.

Well, I’ll tell you if I remember ♪
_____________________________________________

Leo: Well you see, Rittsu baked a birthday cake for me, but the candles were super big-

And the second they were lit, the candles took off into the sky like a rocket! Ta~maya¹! Like that ♪

Thinking about it now, it was a weird dream, but it was mysteriously beautiful.

2

Leo: Hey, Anzu. Did you invite anyone who knows how to play an instrument?

I wrote a song during the party. I call it ‘Tsukinaga Leo’s Birthday Pa-pa-party’ ♪

I have to showcase it now, or else it’ll have to wait til next year. Go on, hurry up and call them over!


How does having it sung in acapella sound?

Leo: You’re making me sing? Oi oi, I’m the star of the party, aren’t I?

…… I got it. You sing it for me.

You’re the one who came up with the idea. Come on now, don’t be shy!
_____________________________________________

Leo: Oh, if we do that, then we don’t need any instruments, huh.

All of ‘Knights’ is here, so that’s perfect. Let’s go get them.

It's is the opening of my birthday celebration and ‘Knights’s special live ♪ Wahaha ☆


If that’s the case……

Leo: Hmm, could me and Rittsu do a piano four hands?

Lucky you, getting to order me around even on my birthday. Just kidding ♪

It sounds interesting. I’ll go get Rittsu. I’ll leave you to get a keyboard ready!
_____________________________________________

Leo: Mm, Mikejimama would be good for this. I think he’ll be happy to play it for me!

He’s over there. I’ll call him over…...-oh, speak of the devil. He’s coming over here.

O~i, Mama~. Play a song for me~ ♪

3

Leo: Anzu, thank you for holding a birthday party for me. I had fun.

I hate to say this, but it’s about time for me to head to the airport.

Uncharted inspiration’s waiting for me…… ♪


Have a safe trip!

Leo: You’re not going to stop me? I might not come back a second time, you know~ ?

…...It’s alright because you believe in me? That’s just like something ‘Producer’ would say.

Well, you are ‘Producer’ after all. Wahaha ☆
_____________________________________________

Leo: It’s nice having someone to send me off.

I can fly around the world without worrying, because I have a place to come back to…… ♪

The next time we meet, I’ll be bringing lots of songs that I’ve written. See ya, Anzu!


Why don’t you take it easy?

Leo: Of course. Who am I? That’s right, I’m Tsukinaga Leo!

My talent can’t be contained by the ‘ES Building’! Me staying in one place a loss for the entire world……!

Having said that, bye by~e! Until I come back again~ ♪
_____________________________________________

Leo: I’ve had enough of taking it easy. I feel like I’ve had a whole year’s worth of fun.

Today next year, what kind of day will it be? It seems like it’s something worth fantasizing about.

I can look forward to it, right? I have high hopes for it, Anzu…...♪

Madara: To think that even Izumi-san came to my birthday party. Mama’s so happy…… ♪


Izumi: Mikejima, you’re not my mama. Soo~ annoying!

It’s just that I happened to have come home at the same time is all. Since Leo-kun’s participating, I came with him.


Madara: What, Leo-san’s here too!? I have to say hello to him!

Let’s go to Leo-san together. Hup, heave-ho heave-ho ♪

Madara: Anzu-san, did you have something you needed me for? Maybe you want some advice about work? Or are you having trouble with someone? Or is it……

Oya? The office’s been decorated, huh.

Hahan. This isn’t my birthday party, is it?


Happy birthday.

Madara: Hoho. ‘Switch’ helped with the decorating too, didn’t they?

Do you think they’ll come to play at the party too? I suppose I’ll thank them when they come..

Thank you for doing this, Anzu-san.
_____________________________________________

Madara: Thank you, Anzu-san.

Of course I’m happy about all the presents and food, but hearing these words from you makes me the happiest!

Having you congratulate me makes me the most fortunate person around…… ♪


It’s a festival today!

Madara: Ooh, that’s a bit discouraging?

Hoho, I see you’ve even prepared a decoration cake with my picture on it.

I want to take a look right now, but I’m a ‘save the fun for later’ kind of guy.
_____________________________________________

Madara: You made this tiny portable shrine just for me!

I can’t carry it around on my shoulders, but it’ll go perfectly in my room. Thank you, Anzu-san.

It’s a festival today! Let's get excited for my birthday party!

2

Madara: There’s more people here than I thought.

I’ve gotten a lot of “Happy birthday”s.

And I’ve also been talking about recent events with them and finding the good moments when we’re reminiscing about things. Ah, it’s so nice every once in a while….. ☆


More people came.

Madara: You invited that many people?

They went to all the trouble of coming here. Let’s go give everyone a light greeting!

Otherwise I don’t know when to stop talking!
_____________________________________________

Madara: Astounding! There’s still people and food coming in?

It really looks like a festival, doesn’t it? Hahaha!

I’m so happy! Let’s eat, dance and enjoy today…… ☆


Should I call someone over?

Madara: No, I’m fine right now. I’ll be able to talk as much as I want during the party.

More importantly, I want to talk with Anzu-san right now…… ♪

We rarely get the chance to talk with each other properly.
_____________________________________________

Madara: No, I’ll call them.

Ooooooi, Sora-saaaaan!!

And look, here he comes. Sora-san’s in good spirits, isn’t he ♪

3

Madara: Hahaha. It’s probably been a long time since I’ve laughed like that.

It was a good birthday. I won’t be forgetting this day.

Thank you, Anzu-san.


What sort of presents did you get?

Madara: I got a lot. Like this beauty roller, for instance.

It seems that if you just roll this on your for ten minutes a day, your skin will become like a newborn’s.

Are you interested, Anzu-san? If I see any results, you’ll be the first to know…… ☆
_____________________________________________

Madara: I got all sorts of presents, but as I thought, your smile is the best present.

Things break all the time, but memories will always stay in your heart.

Thanks to you, Anzu-san, the number of things that are important to me has gone up again.


I’m glad we worked hard to prepare everything.

Madara: Mm, I’m so proud ♪

Come here, come here. Mama’s going to give you a hug…… ☆

You’re fine because everyone’s watching? You’re getting all embarrassed aren’t you, Anzu-san. Hahaha!
_____________________________________________

Madara: Thank you for making time to do this for me even though you’re busy.

I’ll repay you with my idol work!

If you need me, don’t hesitate to call for me. I’ll come running whenever.
