Missing, If you want

	Missing, If you want
	ソロステージを控えた志希と、レッスンルームに集った飛鳥、夕美、響子、杏の5人。しかし、志希は既に曲を自分のものにしていた。驚く一同を置いて、志希は飛鳥を連れ、失踪してしまう。あてもなくふらつく志希と、その真意が読めない飛鳥。LIVE前夜、志希の往く先には、何が待っているのか…	Shiki, preparing for her solo stage, Asuka, Yumi, Kyouko and Anzu are all gathered in the lesson room. However, Shiki already made the song her very own. Surprising everyone, Shiki brings Asuka with her and disappears. Shiki and Asuka, not knowing her true reasons, wonder around aimlessly. what awaits Shiki the night before her LIVE...
	レッスンルーム
Shiki	1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8…… そんでもって最後にチャンチャンチャン♪ はい、でーきた。	1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8…… and at the end chan-chan♪(note: mimetic word/expression to represent the end of a show. in this case, the end of a live). Ok, I'm done (with the dancing practice)
Yumi	すごい……志希ちゃん、カンペキじゃない……？ いつのまに……。	Amazing...Shiki-chan, (your choreography) is perfect. (note: rhetorical question. Yumi is not actually asking a question) before I knew it, you became so good at the choreography.
Anzu	いやー、よかったよかった。 志希ちゃんは振り付けカンペキバッチリ、 ならみんな ! もう休憩にしよう !	Well, that was great. Shiki's choreography is completely perfect, so let's take a break everyone!
Kyoko	……杏ちゃん、まだレッスン始まったばっかりだよ……？	……Anzu-chan, the lesson has only just started……？
Anzu	だって、主役の志希ちゃんがここまでカンペキだったらさー、 べつに大丈夫じゃなーい？	I mean, if the leader Shiki can do the choreography so perfectly up to this point, we'll be fine (at the live), won't we?
Yumi	前のイベントのときは、結構苦戦してた気がするのに……すごいね。 どうしてこんなに？	I thought the choreography from the previous event was pretty difficult though. You're amazing, how did you get so good? (at doing the choreography)
Shiki	そーだねー。 でも夕美ちゃん、前は前、今は今だよー♪ ふふーん♪	I see (note: just a conversation filler) But Yumi-chan, the past is the past, and the present is now♪
Anzu	天才肌っていうか、気分屋なんだよねー。 私も似てるから分かるけど。	rather than being the genius-type, (she's) the moody-type. (note: the type that does things depending on their mood) I'm also like this, so I understand.
Kyoko	どういうこと？ 杏ちゃん。	what do you mean, Anzu-chan?
Anzu	気分が乗ってると、なんでもうまくできちゃうんだよね。 集中が続くし、そういうときはなんでも覚えられるし。 けど、気分が乗らないと、なにやってもダメなんだよ。	when I'm in the mood, I can do anything well, I can concentrate and memorize anything; though, if I don't feel like it, I can't do a thing.
Yumi	はぁ……。 最後だけ聞くと、勉強をしない学生の言い訳みたいだね。	(note: mimetic word that means "I see") If you only hear that last part, it sounds like an excuse by a student who doesn't want to study.
Asuka	ウッ……なぜだ、心が痛い……。	ugh. why is it that my heart aches.
Kyoko	分かるなぁ。そういう子にかぎってやればできるって言うんだよね。 うちの弟とかも宿題やりたくないときに限って そういう風に言うもの !	I know... those are the types who can do it once they put their mind into it. People like my brother, when they don't want to do their homework. That's how they're called (note: this is not meant to sound accusatory, just an observation)
Asuka	……なぜだ？ ボクが責められているわけではないのに、ここにいたくない……。 まぁ、なんだ。端的に言ってダメなヤツなのだな……きっと。	Why is that? It's not like I'm being criticized, but I don't want to be here.... Well, this is bad to be honest. probably. (note: I'm not sure what Asuka is referring here)
Anzu	だって、そういう風にちょっとデキる子に生まれてさー ダメな感じに育っちゃったんだもん……。	I mean, just like that, we were born without much talent. We were raised badly.
Shiki Anzu	仕方なーい ! 仕方ないよね !	It can't be helped!! It can't be helped, right?
Yumi	もう、アイドルなんだから、ダメとか言わないの !	You're (both) idols, so don't say that! (note: もう is an expression that shows annoyance, and is untranslatable)
Kyoko	うふふ……。 じゃあもう踊らないなら、せっかくだし休憩室に行きましょうか。	(note: expression that shows feminine / soft laughter) If we're not practicing anymore, since we're all together, shall we head to the resting room? (note: せっかく literally means "with great effort", and is used when an opportunity appears which shouldn't be wasted. in this case, the chance for all the girls doing the live to enjoy each other company in the resting room)
Yumi	それで、レッスンは万全として……意気込みは、どう？ やっぱり緊張する？	Now, aside from being able to finish the lesson perfectly, how's your enthusiasm? As I thought, do you feel nervous?
Kyoko	そうですよね。やっぱり主役ですし。 明日のステージにかける気合いとか、あったら聞かせてほしいです !	that's right. she's the leader afterall. If you have anything bothering you about the live tomorrow, please let us know. (note: 気合い literally means "fighting spirit", scream, yell. I take that, in this context, it means something that bothers you so much, you want to scream from the inside.)
Shiki	ないよ !	I'm not (feeling nervous) !
Anzu	ないんだ……。	She's not, (i see..)
Asuka Yumi	不安じゃないのか？ 心配じゃないの？	aren't you anxious? aren't you worried?
Shiki	んー。 なになに、キミたち、あたしが感情のない存在だとでも？	hmm. What's that, girls. You think I show no emotion, or something?
Kyoko	いつもの奔放なところを見てたら、 感情がないとは思いませんけど……ねぇ？	When looking at her usual extravagant self, she doesn't look like someone with no emotions though..right?
Asuka	感情なんてモノに左右されない存在になれるとしたら…… ボクは一番に立候補したいものだ……。
Shiki	キミキミ、感情を無くしたら人間が人間たる理由が失われてしまうよ。 エモーションこそ人間の根源だよ !	Hey hey, if a person loses their emotion, they lose their worthiness as a human being. Emotion is at the root of being human!
Yumi	ど、どういうこと？	Wha-what do you mean?
Anzu	さぁ……さすがに杏はそこまでぶっ飛んでないんで…… わかんない。	who knows.... even I don't lack that much common sense, so... I don't know.
Asuka	フフッ。全く面倒なヤツだ。 この天才め、日本語で喋ってくれ。	(note: feminine laughter). that's quite troublesome. Hey genius girl, explain to them in plain Japanese (note: the plain was added here to make it clear that Asuka is asking Shiki to explain to the other girls in a way that's easier to understand. literally, she says "please talk in Japanese")
Shiki	志希ちゃん、いま、なーんにも考えてなーいでーす。	Shiki-chan is not thinking about anything at the moment.
Yumi	志希ちゃんだって、ステージの前ではドキドキするって、 前言ってなかった？	Even Shiki-chan, didn't she tell us before that her heart was throbbing right before a live?
Kyoko	うん、以前、私たちとのイベントのときだって、そういう話を……。	Yeah. she also told us the same thing right before our previous event..
Shiki	そのときはそうだったんでしょ。今は違う。それだけだよ？	That was in the past. It's different now. It's just that.
Kyoko	そ、そう……でしたっけ……？ 前の志希ちゃんはもっとこう……うーん？	was .... was that so? Shiki-chan from before was more...hmm?
Yumi	志希ちゃんってそんな子だったっけ……？	Shiki-chan was that kind of girl..?
Shiki	フンフン……響子ちゃん、和食派なんだ。 味噌に醤油、発酵食品の匂い～♪ 夕美ちゃんの指は……緑の匂いで、 杏ちゃんはお菓子の匂いがするね !	(note: mimetic word to represent someone smelling something) Kyoko-chan (smells like) Japanese couisine. Miso and soy sauce, the smell of fermented food.～♪ Yumi-chan's fingers smells like greenery, and Anzu-chan smells like candy.
Kyoko	えっ？ えっと？ た、たしかにそうだけど……分かるものなの？	eh? huh? that's right, but can you tell?
Yumi	志希ちゃん、あいかわらず匂いに敏感なんだねぇ……。	Shiki-chan, you have a great sense of smell as always.
Shiki	飛鳥ちゃんはー……コーヒーとミルクの匂いかにゃー。	as for Asuka.... I wonder if that's the smell of coffee and milk nyaー
Asuka	おいやめ……はぁ。この警察犬並みの匂いフェチめ。 と……そんな話はまぁいい。 えーと……何の話だったか……緊張していないか、だったか？	hey, stop it... Well, nevermind that. Well.. what were we talking about.... about not being nervous, was it?
Shiki	緊張って生理現象でしょ。呼吸と発汗が活性化して、肉体的活動を 効率よく行うためにするものだもん。人間はみんなするよね、緊張。 でも、緊張する心と緊張しているあたしは別だしー？	being nervous is just a phenomenon from physiology. It make us breath faster and sweat, to make our body be able to move more efficiently. Every human does it, don't they? becoming nervous; However, the nervous heart and my nervous self are not the same.
Yumi	ん～……つまり、どういうこと？	Hmm..in other words, what do you mean?
Asuka	おい天才娘。日本語で喋ってくれ。頼むから。	Hey, genius girl, please talk in Japanese, i beg you.
Shiki	んー。だって、今回の曲はあたしのソロ。あたしのものだよ？ あたしのものは、あたしだけのものにするの。 そうじゃなきゃあたしのものにはならない。そこに緊張は関係ないよ。	hmm.. I mean, the next song will be my solo. My very own. I'll make my own solo, my very own. (note: it sounds awkward when translating. Shiki wants her song to be very unique, something she can truly call "her own", as opposed to just being any other song) If I don't, it won't become my song. Whether I'm feeling uneasy or not is not important.
Kyoko	よくわからないけど、すごい自信……。 やっぱり志希ちゃんて、普段、ふわふわしてるのに、 すごいんだね……。	I don't understand it too well, but she looks really confident. As i thought, Shiki-chan is usually soft and fluffy, but she's great, isn't she?
Asuka	だが、やっぱり伝わらない。 この天才娘め。	But, as I thought, people are not able to understand this genius girl. (note: incomplete sentence. she likely meant やっぱり志希ちゃんの思いが伝わらない which literally means, "as i thought, Shiki's feelings/thoughts doesn't transmit (to other people)" )
Shiki	ニホンゴ、ワカリマセーン。 キコクシジョだからー。	I don't understand Japanese (note: in a very foreign, western accent) since I just came back to Japan. (note: キコクシジョ -> 帰国子女. written in katakana to highlight the foreign, western accent)
Anzu	その返し、ずるいなぁー。 杏も偽装留学して、都合悪いことはそれで逃げよっかなぁー。	That reply is quite unfair. I wish I feigned having studied abroad, so I could use it to escape bad circumstances (note: she probably meant being able to escape from work, by pretending to not know Japanese)
Yumi	ふふっ。じゃあ、杏ちゃんが逃げちゃう前に プロデューサーさんを呼んでこよっか。 ダンスの出来映え、見てもらうの。	(note: feminie / soft laughter). Well, good thing we called producer before Anzu could escape. He/she is going to see the dance performance.
Anzu	えー、また踊るのー？ 志希ちゃんだけならともかく、私たちもー？ うー、めんどいー……。	eeeh. are we going to dance again? Not just Shiki-chan, but us too? ugh... that's bothersome.
Kyoko	ふふっ。まぁまぁ。じゃあ、私もいきますよ、夕美さん。 すぐにプロデューサーさんを呼んできますから、待っててくださいね。	(note: feminine laughter) My, my. I'll be going too, Yumi-san. I'll go and quickly call producer, so please wait.
Yumi	ただいまー。プロデューサーさん連れてきたよ !	I'm back. Brought producer with me!
Player nameP	お疲れさま。	otsukare-sama (note: an expression to show that you acknowledge other people's hard work. お疲れ literally means tiredness/fatigue. in this case, the producer is acknowledging the girls working hard in practicing their choreography)
Anzu	あー、プロデューサー。お疲れー。	Ah. Producer, otsukare-(note: exact same meaning as otsukare-sama, though it sounds more casual)
Kyoko	あれ？ 杏ちゃんだけ？ 志希ちゃんと飛鳥ちゃんは……？ どこか、買い物とか？	huh? anzu is the only one here? Where is Shiki and Asuka..? Did they go shopping or something?
Anzu	「志希ちゃんは飽きたので失踪しまーす」 だって。	"Shiki-chan is tired (of doing the dancing practice), so I'll disappear", she said.
Yumi	えぇぇ……飛鳥ちゃんは？ もしかして、飛鳥ちゃんも一緒に……？	eeeh? And what about Asuka? could it be that she also went with..?
Anzu	「キミの失踪とやらが本当に失踪なのか、 その真意を探る旅に出るとしようか」 ……だって。	"whether you'll be able to really disappear or not, shall we go on a journey to find your true motive / real intention?"... that's what she
Kyoko	杏ちゃん、どうして止めておかなかったのー。 せっかくプロデューサーさんを呼んできたっていうのに、 志希ちゃんがいなかったら……。	Anzu-chan, why didn't you stop them? I just called producer and brought him over. If Shiki-chan is not here...
Anzu	こっちも必死に食い下がったんだけど……力及ばず……。	I desperately tried to stop them, but wasn't able to. (note: 食い下がる literally means to hang on to someone, so they won't go away. in this case, Anzu is giving the image of hanging / clinging on the girls with all her might, but ultimately not able to prevent them from leaving)
Player nameP	ほんとに？	Really?
Anzu	いやー、出てくのを見てただけだけど……。 だって仕方ないじゃん？ 言っても聞かないし、アレは無理に止めても窓から逃げるよー !	well, I saw them leave... but that couldn't be helped. No matter what I said, they wouldn't listen, and even if I tried to stop them (by blocking the door), they would escape from the window.
Yumi	プロデューサーさん、どうします？ 探すなら、私も探すの手伝いますよ !	Producer-san, what should we do? if you're going to look for them, I'll help too!
Player nameP	放っておこう。	Just let them be.
Kyoko	え、いいんですか？ 本番は明日ですよ？	Eh, is that ok? the live is tomorrow, you know.
Yumi	レッスンの最終確認もしてないのに…… ! ？	Even though you didn't do the final check for Shiki's lesson !?
Player nameP	志希だから。	Because she's Shiki.
Yumi	は、はぁ……。	(note: expression that shows one understanding someone's point, even though they may not agree with them)
Anzu	じゃあ、杏もドロンしまーす……。 お先にしつれいー。	well, in that case, Anzu will slip out too.... I'll be leaving first, so excuse me.
Player nameP	ダメ。	You can't.
Anzu	んあっ ! ？ 志希ちゃんは許されて、杏は許されないのか……？ 差別だ ! 不当待遇だー ! デモを起こすぞー !	Uh? You let Shiki-chan, but you won't let me? That's discrimination! that's an unfair in how I'm being treated! I'm going to raise a protest!
Kyoko	杏ちゃん……。	Anzu-chan...
Yumi	あきらめよっか……。	Shall we give up on that (escaping from the dance practice)?
	街中	Downtown
Asuka	それで……何処へ往くんだ。何処を目指す。 キミの失踪とやらは。	and then... where are we going, where are we heading? with your "disappearance"?
Shiki	んー、どこにもいかないよー。 『どこかに行っちゃった』のが失踪だもん。 『どこかに行く』のは移動か旅じゃない？	hmmm.... we're not going anywhere. because disappearance means "(they) went somewhere" if we say "(they're) going somewhere", it becomes a travel or a journey, don't you think?
Asuka	そんな回答、用意してあるのなら先に言ってくれ。 まったく読めないヤツだよ、キミは。	if you had that answer ready, please tell me already. I really don't get you.
Shiki	にゃははー。いま考えたー。 どうせこの国の交通とかよく分かんないし、いくとこまでいこー !	nyahaha. I thought about it just now. I don't know much about the traffic in this country, so let's just keep going-!
Asuka	その先に、何が待つのか…… あるいは、何もないが待っているのか……。	what awaits us in the beyond.... or rather, is it that there's nothing awaiting us...
	遊園地	amusement park
Shiki	にゃはー、遊園地だー。 でも、あそこ行くのはきっと今じゃないなー。	Shiki:nyahaha, an amusement park! but, this is probably not the time to go there.
Asuka	キミというヤツはわからないな。類い稀な美人のクセに エキセントリックな匂いフェチでトラブルメーカー。 自由奔放で猫っぽいが頑固、偏執狂のようなところもある。	i really don't get you. you're so exceptionally pretty, yet you have an eccentric smell fetish and a trouble-maker. you're free like a cat, but stubborn. you're also a little bit of a monomaniac. (note: monomania: being extremely interested in one thing in a way that's beyond normal)
Asuka	それでキミがボクの歳だったころ、キミは既に海外で大学生だろう？ なんてスペックだ。ギフテッドというヤツは。 何が起きたらそんな生物が生まれるのか、教えてもらいたいな。	not only that, when you were my age, you already went to study in college overseas, didn't you? (note: Asuka is 14, which means Shiki went to college at 14) (you have) such talent. a person with such intellectual giftedness. (note: スペック means 'specification', but in this context it likely means the trait / talent that Shiki possesses I wish you could tell me what would cause someone (with such talents) to be born.
Shiki	……でも、14歳のあたしはアイドルじゃなかったし。 どこにでも居るような寂しい女の子だったよ。	but I wasn't an idol back when I was 14. I used to be a lonely girl no matter where I went.
Asuka	飛び級して海外の大学に行くような子がどこにでもいたら、 セカイはもうちょっと賢い方向へ進歩しているだろうな。	I think if there were kids everywhere who could skip grades and study in college overseas, the world would have progressed even further.
Shiki	そんなのは、テストのスコアがほんの少し高いかどうかだよ。 それに、踏み出したかどうかの差でしかないし。	that (having more talented kids) would only mean having slightly higher test scores. besides, this is only whether you took that (first) step.
Shiki	あたしはあたしが自由でいられるところに…… パパがいるところにいきたかった。そのチャンスがあった。 だからいった。	I wanted to go where daddy was. That chance came, so I went (to see my dad) (note: パパ is an affectionate term / childish term for father. I think it comes from the spanish papá, which means 'dad')
Shiki	キミはチャンスを待っていた。 プロデューサーが現れた。チャンスを掴んだ。	you were waiting for a chance (to become an idol) The producer came and you seized that chance.
Asuka	……同じだな。 いや……同じではないが、選ばれて選んだのは同じ、か。	...we're the same. no... we're not the same, but we were both chosen (to become idols)
	住宅街	residential area
Asuka	ど、何処だここは……歩いたり電車に乗ったり タクシーを捕まえたり。まったく、キミというヤツは、わからん。 他人の目や評価を気にしないんだな。	whe - where are we. walking, taking a train and catching a taxi. good grief, i don't get you. you don't care how others look at you or how they assess you.
Shiki	他人があたしのことをどう評価しようとも、 あたしはあたしを愛してあげるしかないもん。 キミも好きでしょ。自己愛。	no matter how others assess me, I still love myself. (literally: there's nothing but for me to love myself) you like it too, don't you. your own self (literally: self-love)
Asuka	……そう、だな。	yeah, you're right.
Shiki	けどあたしはあたしが大好きだから、あたし自身に興味ないよ。 あたしが同じ存在のままでいる必要なんてないと思ってるし、 面白ければ変わり続けるよ。研究も止めるし、住む国も変える。	but because i really like myself, I'm not interested in me. I don't think i need to live like others. as long as it's interesting, I'll keep changing (myself). I'll stop doing research and live in a different country.
Asuka	キミは自分というものがあるのか、ないのか……。	do you have something that you can call "you", or not?
Shiki	そんなの、興味なーい。 あたしがワタシでもボクでも自分でも拙者でもなんでもいい。	I'm not interested in that. whether I use ワタシ, ボク, 自分, or 拙者 (when referring to myself) I don't mind. (note: untranslatable. ワタシ, ボク, 自分, 拙者 are different ways of referring to yourself, each with different nuances. あたし is feminine for "I", ワタシ is gender-neutral and polite, ボク is typically boy-sh and a bit childish, 自分 means oneself and is gender-neutral, 拙者 is archaic and only really used by samurais in tv shows. basically, Shiki is showing that she doesn't care about the frivolities of language used just to refer oneself)
Asuka	……そういう考え方も、あるのか。	....That's one way of thinking, I see.
Shiki	キミとあたしのあいだに、どれだけの違いがある？ キミと杏ちゃんのあいだは？ あたしと響子ちゃんの違いは？ 女の子ってカテゴリで見たら、違いなんてどこにある？	How much difference is there between you and me? how about you and Anzu? what's the difference between me and Kyoko-chan? If (one) tries to categorize girls, where does one find their differences?
Asuka	……全く違うが、違いなど無い。フッ、矛盾しているが。	we're completely different, yet we're not. huh, that was a contradiction.
Shiki	ヒトっていうのは、矛盾してるから面白いんだよ。	people are fun because of those contradictions.
Asuka	ひねくれているボクだから、それは理解る。	I don't agree with you, so I understand your logic. note: ひねくれる literally means to be contrary, to be uncooperative) (note: I think this was meant to sound like a contradiction)
Shiki	それに、科学や数学みたいな、常に一定の解を求める世界を 覗いてるとね。 もっとファジーな化学変化を期待したくなるんだー。	besides, just like science and math, whenever I peek at the world that wishes for a fixed solution, it makes me excited for more fuzzy chemical change. (literally: it makes me want to hope for more fuzzy chemical change)
Asuka	ファジーな化学変化？ ……それもまた、矛盾か。	fuzzy chemical change? ...was that another contradiction?
Shiki	人間関係は化学変化だよ。	The relationship between people is a chemical change.
Asuka	むぅ……？	hmm...?
Shiki	あ、ねこだ。にゃー。にゃー？	Ah, it's a cat. nya- nya-?
	街角	street corner
Shiki	にゃー。いなくなっちゃった。ねこ……。 まいっか。 わー、星キレイだにゃー。	nya-. the cat is gone. ah, whatever. woah. the stars are pretty nya-.
Asuka	なぁ。話を続けてもいいか？ キミがさっき言った、化学変化の話だ。	hey, do you mind if we continue the conversation? about the chemical change you mentioned before?
Shiki	うん。 物質同士っていうのはね、結びつこうとしてるの。 結びついて、安定しようとするの。	sure (i don't mind). Matters try to connect with one another. They try to connect and reach an equilibrium.
Asuka	化学の話かい。普通の中二の学生なりの、相応の知識はある。 キミとは比べものにならないだろうけどね。 それで？	you're talking about chemistry. as an average 2nd year (of junior), I have some knowledge about it, not that (my knowledge) can compare to your. and..? (note: 相応の知識 literally means "suitable knowledge")
Shiki	酸素と水素が出会ったら水になっちゃうの。 酸素も水素もあんなに燃えやすいのに、水は燃えないんだよね。 それに、水が勝手に水素と酸素に戻ることはないよ。	when oxygen and hydrogen meet, it turns into water. even though hydrogen and oxygen burn easily, water doesn't burn, does it? in addition, water can't easily turn back into hydrogen and oxygen. (literally: water is not able to return to (being) oxygen and hydrogen of its own accord)
Asuka	それくらい理解る。	I know that much.
Shiki	あたしもキミも、プロデューサーやファンという存在に 出会ってしまったんだよ。 そこで変化が起きて変えられてしまったら、もう戻ることはないんだ。	you and me, producer and the fans, we met each other. that caused (us) to change, and once you change, you can't go back.
Asuka	……戻れない、か。 ……っ、世界線を遡れば、あるいは。	.... (we) can't go back, I see. ...or if we go back in the world line...
Shiki	残念ながら、少し不思議なセンスオブワンダーに、 そこまでのパワーはないんじゃないかなー。	sadly, to that small and mysterious sense of wonder, (I have to say that) we don't have that kind of power.
Asuka	……フッ、そうだな。それこそが物語の持つイフの強さ。 あるいは希望。	huh. you're right. that's the power of fictional stories (note: literally: that's the strength of "if"in stories) or rather hope.
Shiki	だけど、あたしはこの現実で安定なんかしたくない。 水になってしまっても、形を変えることはできるもん。 だからこそ、変わり続けるんだよ。あたしはねー。	however, i don't want to accept that reality. (note: 安定 literally means stability, equilibrium) even if it turns into water, its shape can still be changed. therefore, (just like water) i can keep changing.
	海	sea
Asuka	……そう、さっき気になったことがあった。 響子さんたちの言葉を遮らなかったか？ 匂いの話をした。 あれは……なぜだ。答えたくなければ……いいんだが。	ah, there was something I wanted to ask you. (literally:why didn't you stop Kyoko when she talked about your smell fetish? (literally: why didn't you interrupt Kyoko? she talked about smell) why is that? it's ok if you don't want to answer.
Shiki	んー、あたしってゆー不定形の存在をあたし以外のヒトが 定義できると思う？ 今のあたしと前のあたし、 同一だって決めつけるのは傲慢じゃない？	hmm... do you think my ever-changing (literally: undefined, indefinite) self can judge (literally: define) others? judging either my present or past self arbitrarily would be a sign of arrogance, don't you think?
Asuka	ふむ…………そうだな。ボクらは同じ行動しかしないわけじゃない。 常に進化している。安易なテンプレートにカテゴライズされるのは No Thank youだね。	hm.....you're right. it's not like we need to behave the same way. (we're) always changing (literally: evolving). I say No Thank you to being categorized in a simple template.
Shiki	にゃふふー。気が合ったね。 それに実験なんかでの観察はさ、観測者のバイアスが 掛かっていることも自覚しなきゃいけないんだよねー。	nyahuhu. we agree on that one. (literally: (we) got along (with each other) ) besides, when making an experimental observation, one should be aware of observer bias.
Asuka	なるほどな。観測者のバイアス……か。 ……っ、キミの生きているセカイと、 ボクらの見ているキミのセカイは違うとでも？	oh, I see. observer bias. ...the world you're living, and the world we see you living are not the same?
Shiki	イグザクトリィ。	exactly.
Asuka	フッフッフ……ボクのワードを盗らないでくれないか。 次に使うときはコピーライト・アスカで頼むよ。	(feminine laughter)... would you mind not stealing my word? next time you use it, ask copyright ・Asuka. (note: i'm not too sure what Asuka is referring to here. maybe because Asuka said in her song that everyone is a bystander and that no-one knows everything, while Shiki is saying something similar - that is, people are subject to observer bias, and therefore cannot possibly know everything)
	山	mountain
Asuka	それで、ここは何処だ。何処まで往くんだ。 明日はキミが主役の本番だぞ。いいのかそれで。	and, where are we? how far are we going? tomorrow will be your live. are you ok with that? (that is, are you ok with not practicing and just keep moving and passing the time)
Shiki	どこにたどり着いたら、どこに行ったことになると思う？	where do you think (we) would have arrived if (we) reached (the end of our journey)? (note: Shiki is likely talking about the journey as an idol. that is, she's questioning where they would be once they progressed far enough in their idol careers)
Asuka	クイズや心理ゲームは安易に手を出したらいけないと 学んだんだが……。	i learned not to give-in to quizzes and mental games though... (note: 手を出す literally means to extend your hands. in this case it means accepting and taking part of quizzes and mental games)
Shiki	アイドルはなにができたらアイドルなんだろうね？	what would qualify someone to become an idol, I wonder. (note: literally: what would (one) need to be able to do in order to become an idol, I wonder. Shiki is now going back to the roots of being/becoming an idol)
Asuka	歌、ダンス、パフォーマンス、トークにグラビア、 エトセトラ、エトセトラ……。	singing, dancing, doing live performances, doing talk shows, photogravures, etc, etc..
Shiki	アイドルはどこまで行ったらトップアイドルなんだろう？ 誰に知ってもらえたら、あたしはアイドルになれるんだろう。 パパに見てもらえるのかな。ママに聞いてほしかったな。	i wonder how far an idol would need to go to become a top idol? I wonder if I could become an idol if everyone knew me. I wonder if daddy would have looked at me. I wish I had asked mummy.
Asuka	志希……。	Shiki....
Shiki	正解がないセカイって、正解がないから面白いんだよ。きっと。	the world with no right answer is interesting (precisely) because there's no right answer. surely.
Asuka	……フッ、そうだな。	huh. you're right.
	LIVE当日	day of the LIVE
Kyoko	プロデューサーさん、あの……本当に大丈夫なんですか？ 待つっていうのは、担当を信じるってことで分かるんですけど……。	Producer-san, is this really ok? I understand that waiting for her means we trust her, but still...
Yumi	本番当日にドタキャンなんて…… まさか、志希ちゃんに限ってとは思うけど……。	cancelling her live performance at the last minute or something. Shiki-chan surely wouldn't do that, i think...
Anzu	まー、なんとかなるんじゃない？ 志希ちゃんがサボる理由、ないしさ。 ん……そんな話をしてたら、ほら。	Well, everything will work out in the end, won't it? since Shiki has no reason of skipping (her live). hmmm...having said that, look.
Shiki	タクシーのおじさん、ありがとねー。らびゅー☆	taxi driver, thanks-. love you☆
Asuka	まったく、どこのアイドルが万札をポケットから出すんだ。 札や硬貨を効率的に持ち歩くための財布という道具を知ってるか。 泊めてくれた旅館だって、いい人達だったからよかったものの……。	good grief. what kind of idol takes a 10,000 yen (literally:note) right out of her pocket. do you know there's something (literaly: tool) called a wallet, in which you can store your money (literally: paper money and coins) efficiently and is easy to carry? even at the Japanese inn in which we stayed (you took money right out of your pocket). it was a good thing that the people there were nice....
Shiki	そーだねー。 あ、プロデューサー、響子ちゃんと夕美ちゃんと杏ちゃんだー。 フンフン……汗かいてるね、みんな。	you're right. ah, producer, Kyoko-chan, Yumi-chan and Anzu-chan. (mimetic word for smelling something) .... you're all sweating.
Yumi	だー、じゃないよ ! 志希ちゃん ! 冷や汗かいたんだから ! もうリハも終わって、すぐに開演だよ ! 着替えてメイクしなくちゃ !	Shiki-chan! We were having a cold sweat here! (note: not sure of a good way of translating that first part) the rehearsal is already over, and the live concert is about to start! you need to (quickly) change clothes and do your make-up.
Shiki	にゃははー。 うん。始まるから、来たんだよ。	nyahaha-. yeah. I came because the live (is about to) start.
Asuka	ふぅ……間に合ったか……。 プロデューサー。連絡したとおりだ。ボクの仕事は果たしたぞ。	(mimetic word to represent tiredness) looks like we arrived in time. Producer, I did my job (of bringing Shiki), just like i said (i would).
Anzu	はー、杏も失踪したかった……。	(sigh) I wish I also disappeared...
Kyoko	ほらほら、安心するのはまだ早いですよ ! 支度しにいきましょ ! 杏ちゃんももうちょっとだけ頑張って ! ねっ♪	hey hey, it's still too early to be at ease! let's go to make preparations (for the live) Anzu-chan also, please do your best for just a little bit more! ok?♪
Shiki	プロデューサー。 一ノ瀬志希っていう人間は、あたし自身でしか定義できない。 でも、一つだけ例外がある。
Shiki	アイドルの一ノ瀬志希を定義するのは、 プロデューサーの仕事だからね。 このステージは、どんなフレーバーがお好み？	producer, a human being such as myself (literally: Ichinose Shiki) is unable to define my own self. but there's only one exception. Because it's your (producer)'s job to define the idol Ichinose Shiki. what's your preferred flavor for this stage? (note: Shiki is letting producer define her performance, which in turns could be seen as the producer defining Shiki herself)
P	最高のヤツを。	the very best one. (note: this could also be seen as the producer asking her to become the best idol - that is, a top idol)
Shiki	にゃは♪ オッケー。最高のフレーバー、決めてくるよー。	nyaha♪ ok. the very best flavor, coming right up. (translation by namealreadytaken on Crunchyroll)
