[Translation] Uta no Prince-sama Music - Character Scenes

I just started playing this game cause I'm on a rhythm game spree. The scenes were pretty short so I decided to translate them for fun. I still have to unlock and translate the other scenes so this is all I have as of the moment.

Edit: This game totally killed my arm. @_@
If you're having trouble beating the game, I suggest getting 1 or 2 other people to play with you. I brought my PSP with this game during a sleepover and we ended up clearing a lot of the hard and some pro songs by assigning 1-2 buttons each. lol It's also way more fun playing with friends than killing your fingers all alone.

Seriously. Natsuki's songs cause such muscle destruction.


Tokiya


Episode 1

"I've come to pick you up. Are the date preparations complete?"
"Fu.. It looks like it's perfect. I think it's wonderfully coordinated."
”Well then, let's head out."
"For today, leave everything to me. Be sure to follow me properly, ok?"
"I will most definitely let you have fun."

Episode 4

"Good morning. It's a great morning, you know."
"Come on, please get up. Dream time is about to start."
"We decided that we'd spend the first day of each month together, didn't we?"
"*chuckle* It looks like you've finally woken up."
"First, let's have some breakfast."
"If we spend the morning lazing around, let's go out somewhere for lunch, ok?"

Episode 7

"It's a refreshing morning isn't it?"
"I wonder if it feels that way because you're beside me."
"I mean, look. The world is also this beautiful."
"So there are mornings like these too, huh."
”It became like seeing a 9 colored rainbow in the sky and walking on it."
"Hm? Is it weird?"
"That's right. It might be a bit like a fairytale."
"It's a far-off evidence."
"You're here with me. That makes me irresistibly happy."


Natsuki



Episode 1

”Fufu. It's fun to play tag in the garden maze sometimes."
"Haru-chan, where are you~? I'll find you immediately~"
"Hm~ Could you be here perhaps~ Or here..."
"Ah, so you were here all along."
"Haru-chan, fo--und you. Fufu. Gyuu--"
"You shouldn't run, you know, captured princess."
"Be quiet and allow yourself to be loved by me, ok? *kiss*"

Episode 3

"1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3..."
"Hehe. Waltz is fun, right?"
"And then tuuuurn!"
"Aah! I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to fall..."
"A... yeah. Your face is near, huh."
"Are you ok? Does it hurt? Sorry."
"A while ago, our lips touched for a moment, right? Hey, can we do it one more time?"
"I'll be more gentle this time. Please..."
"Thank you. *kiss*"
"Hehe. I made your heart beat fast, didn't I?"
"Come, let's dance the Southern Cross waltz."

Episode 4

"Hm? What's wrong? Are you afraid of thunder?"
"It's ok, I'm here beside you. I'll protect you, ok? So don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."
”Ah. That's right. I'll sing near your ear."
"If I do that, you won't be afraid, right?"
"Come on, get closer."
"Then listen to my song..."

Episode 7

"I see... So it's the moon tonight."
"Going out once in a while to watch is nice. On top of that, it's also quiet."
"I'm starting to have the delusion that I'm the only person in the world."
"No... I was alone from the start."
"Within that darkness, wasn't I always alone like this?"
"Then why am I feeling sad...?"
"Eversince he met her, Natsuki changed."
"No, perhaps the one who changed is me. For me to have feelings like this..."
"She's a really strange girl."
"Natsuki's feelings for her. Even I feel like I understand them a bit."

Otoya


Episode 1

"Ahh... The sky is radiant. What a nice weather..."
"It's a perfect day for a date, right? Hehe. Just the fine weather already makes me really happy."
"Don't you think so too? It's the best first day of the month, right?"
"Ah... But... having you beside me makes me happy the most. Shall we hold hands?"
"When I touch you like this, the moment when I feel your warmth is irrisistably lovely."
"If you feel happy, I don't need anything else..."
"It becomes something like that feeling."
"It might be a bit conceited of me."
"Hehe. But these are my honest feelings. If you feel the same way, I'll be happy."

Black Diary Case 4 & 5 Released! The Final Cases



After a year of development, the Black Diary series is finally complete. It's been a long, fun ride. We would like to thank everyone who supported us (especially those who left encouraging messages on our page)! It's great getting to meet new people through game development. (^▽^)

You can download the last case from the Apple App Store here.


You can download the ED song Open Eyes here:



What's Next?


We'll be compiling all the cases into one full version and putting it up for sale on other game stores. We'll also be moving on to other platforms as well such as Android. The series may be complete, but we'll still work on improving the game.

Of course, we have new games in store, but no details will be revealed for now except for the pre-released OST below. I hope you look forward to our next work!

Papina's Life Update #11: Gradually Getting Deeper Into The Music World



CASE 3'S iOS VERSION IS FINALLY OUT!! *tears of joy* Well, it was actually out 2 days ago and Barnabas just mentioned it to me today.

I decided to lose the 'otaku' in the title because it makes me feel bad and aware of my obsession. Well, people usually refer to it as passion, but it's an obsession to me.

Anywho, my wrist hurts from all the music editing so I'll make this quick.

Azuneko Studio Stuff

The last chapters, cases 4 & 5 will be released together. The game script is about 70% finished. I'm around halfway through the images. I'll make a post with more detail soon when my wrist doesn't hurt.

What's the next game after Black Diary? Barnabas and I have two concepts in mind. He wants to make this comedy game set in our hometown. On the other hand, I want to make a cutesy dark game inspired by Kikuo's Gomene Gomene (this game is sure to be made cause I actually already drew all the concept art and sprites lol). If you've heard of the song, then yes. Prepare for some gore. More details to come when my wrist doesn't hurt.

Recent Works

Besides Case 3 getting released, I've mostly been working on music-related things, like Takane Papina's UTAU voicebank. I remade it from scratch since I purchased the mic earlier than expected. Again, I need to make sure I didn't miss out on any bad notes from the first screening and finalize the configurations, so it will be released after I do 15-20 songs or so (right now I did 6 songs).

I've decided to do some singing myself, so I can just do the vocals myself when I compose the opening and ending songs for my games. I honestly don't think I'm THAT good, but I'll do my best to push my skills to its lvl cap.

Random Facts About Black Diary



It's been nearly a year since Barnabas and I met up at a cafe and started conceptualizing Black Diary. So, I decided to post all the behind-the-scenes random info.

- Cohen's name is taken from Sander Cohen, an antagonist in Bioshock.

- Mikhail's personality is partly based off a character from one of Papina's novels, Ivan Korsakov from Rondo Capriccioso. Ivan's second name is Mikhail.

- Rondo Capriccioso is an actual novel. It was Papina's entry for NaNoWriMo 2010. The completed work can be found here.

- Rosalie was supposed to have a cat doll named Nekotara that kept her sane.

- Nora's personality is based off a real-life person who works at the hotel Barnabas' family runs.

- Winston was supposed to be a sporty girl, but Barnabas said there were too many girl characters so I turned him into a guy. His look is partially inspired by Yosaf from The Grey Garden.

- Tom is named after Papina's animator friend from Japan. They're both introverts.

- The song that plays during funny scenes "I am A Little Seahorse" was an unused track from an animation Papina worked on with a group before. It was supposed to play during a scene when the main character was staring at an aquarium with a seahorse in it.

- Case 2's bad end took a while to finalize. Papina, Barnabas, and Lyndon (Barnabas' brother) gathered together in the living room to brainstorm. One of the endings they thought of was that Colette goes crazy and ends up in the mental hospital.

- It took around 1 month for Papina to finish making all the graphics, dialogue, and music for Case 1.

- Harumi Hatsumi (the idol Mikhail is a fan of) is a parody of Hatsune Miku,

- Ayase's sprite was the first one made, followed by Colette.

- Papina made an unfinished horror version of Black Diary titled Afterschool Nightmare, which is set after the events of Black Diary. Mikhail, Rosalie, Jean, Nora, Peter and Shara stay late in school and tell ghost stories. Rosalie gets possessed by a ghost and starts going psychokiller mode.

Papina's Otaku Life Update #10: Living in the UTAU World

It's been a while since my last update, huh? I've been working on a lot of things (mostly music and game sprites).

But first off! My Corpse Party light novels finally arrived! Whee! I'm sorta confused about the timelines for them, but as far as I read the one on the left follows the events of Blood Covered. I might post up some summaries if the Heavenly Host forum members want it.



And the current game in my PSP is Persona 3 Portable! I swear this game made me experience a wide range of emotions. There should be more games with this kind of script writing.


Recent Works Released


After talking to Sango, the CV of Neko Kanochi, I decided not to switch the vocals and just keep the currently released version of the song Open Eyes for Black Diary's ending song.





Along with that, I'm also working on a voicebank to sing covers for me. I plan to make a clearer recording once I get my new condenser mic, but that'll be a few months from now. Takane Papina's voicebank won't be released until after I do 10 songs at least. I need to make sure the configurations and clips are just right.
