Impressions of Eichi	Impressions of Eichi
Character 	Text
Wataru 	Well, well♪ Almost every script equates the word "emperor" with "loneliness." That's where a clown, or a jester, is summoned—one who brings fleeting joy to his lonely emperor, stays by his side, and together, they rush towards a tragic ending with no future in sight. Yet, I'm sure my emperor will embrace a truly happy ending. I believe that those who strive so hard to make miracles happen will surely be blessed by miracles and loved by the entire world...☆
Tori 	I used to see Master Eichi as a symbol of justice, a pure and flawless "angel." However, during the Star Fes, I touched upon some of his dark sides, but that's also part of what I like about him. He has been standing in cold heights for too long, and I want to get closer to him, warm him up, and share his burdens. Although my plan was turned down at that time, the little Christmas gift I received still made me happy for a long time.
Yuzuru 	Master Eichi is very powerful, but even so, he has pushed himself too much to the limit before... Thankfully, he has moved past that phase. Now, he is the leader of fine and also the representative of STAR PRO, working towards the ideal for everyone. I'll continue to support him in the future, not just as a member of fine sharing his workload, but also as a family who can bring him a cup of tea and relieve his fatigue when he feels tired.
Impressions of Wataru	Impressions of Wataru
Character 	Text
Eichi 	Wataru mentioned before that he feared being denied or rejected. However, during the War, I cast him as a villain, subjecting him to countless slanders and abuses... Although he claimed he was merely playing a role and that what happened on stage didn't touch reality, I still feel... Oh, maybe I shouldn't bring up such a heavy topic now. Wataru always brings me surprises and fulfills my wishes at any time. Haha, I think I just can't live without him.
Tori 	When I met Hibiki for the first time, I was shocked that the one Master Eichi kept praising was once the enemy of fine... I once felt jealous about his relationship with Master Eichi, but during the second DDD, I realized that there are things only he is capable of. He is essential to Master Eichi and everyone in fine.
Yuzuru 	A stage with Master Hibiki would guarantee that the audience would be surprised. Though I had occasionally witnessed him giving Young Master some slightly excessive "training," from my experience, it must also be a necessary experience for Young Master's growth... So, at such times, I just need to cheer for Young Master in my heart.
Impressions of Tori	Impressions of Tori
Character 	Text
Eichi 	Tori claims to be my fan, and I blame myself to this day for not being able to recognize him as a completely independent grown-up. In fact, Tori is very much an experienced idol now, which is an achievement he could've never had if not for working several times harder than others. I will watch with loving eyes until he fledges and basks in the angel's light.
Wataru 	Himegimi is an adorable child, even if he keeps saying that I "took away" someone important from him! Well! It's the clown's job to adorn heavy air with love and surprises into a wonder~ Anyway, if you don't want it this way, Himegimi, then stand on your tiptoes and try to regain your precious from my hands♪
Yuzuru 	Young Master is doing incredibly well right now. But I can still recall how hard he cried during the Star Fes, which was probably harder than I'd ever seen. I know that it's a given that an idol would cope with denials and setbacks, and I was ready to restore him even with some special means in case he collapsed at that time. But to my relief, my Young Master got back on his feet soon. I was, am, and will always stay by his side and watch him to be the brightest star.
Impressions of Yuzuru	Impressions of Yuzuru
Character 	Text
Eichi 	Yuzuru always gave off a tense feeling at school, so I suggested that he organize some overseas activities. During that trip, he took care of Ogami's pet well despite being uncomfortable with dogs. Haha, he looked so cute when he switched between cautiously approaching and dodging eye contact. He may always sound cautious, but he values his idol's career much. He is an indispensable gem to fine.
Wataru 	Mr. Butler is excellent in every aspect, or rather, I'd call him Perfect...☆ As a senior in fine, it is delightful to watch him change from being indifferent to idols at first, to being fully devoted to every performance. However, if he could comfort and encourage us senior members like those cute juniors, it would be even better♪ I wonder what kind of performance he will deliver in the future☆ Just imagining it makes me excited!
Tori 	Yuzuru is my butler, but he always acts superior to me... He controls everything, whether it's making lunch boxes every day or reading novels... Once things don't turn out the way he wants, he'll look scary... Ugh, even thinking about it now gives me chills down my spine. I really want to tell him that I am the true master, a smart and powerful person whom he can rely on, so it's okay to occasionally leave my side and do something he wants to do.

Trickstar=
Impressions of Hokuto	Impressions of Hokuto
Character 	Text
Subaru 	Hokke is always serious and calm, and sometimes he makes me feel "uncomfortable," so we argue a lot. But I know he is actually very considerate. He can be slow to catch on and unable to read the room, but he always cares about me. He's always gentle and kind. I also really enjoy Hokke's punchlines~ Most importantly, I have to thank him for always leading us forward! Please continue to take care of us in the future, Hokke☆
Makoto 	Hidaka is the sort of guy who gives harsh comments in comedies, but occasionally, he acts silly and dumb, making him appear quite naive in this aspect. He's always blessed by the god of comedy, which is a big contrast to his usual calm self~ He helped me improve my acting skills during the filming, and I'm grateful to him.
Mao 	Hokuto may look cool and handsome, but he can sometimes be impulsive and act on a whim... Before I knew it, I'd gotten used to cleaning up for Trickstar and doing patch-up work. There have been many minor incidents along the way, but we've managed to keep moving forward under his leadership. Haha, Hokuto and everyone in Trickstar are important companions to me.
Impressions of Subaru	Impressions of Subaru
Character 	Text
Hokuto 	Akehoshi often gives me lots of headaches. I still remember how he almost refused to participate in last year's Sakura Fes because he was in a bad mood... I say we've always been in constant conflict. However, he eventually made it to the stage because he never missed a chance to shine on stage. There are also many things about him that I can learn from. To me, he's an important companion and also my best rival.
Makoto 	I don't know when Akehoshi and I became the "Dumb Duo" of Trickstar, but we always enjoy it a lot when we're together♪ Maybe it's because we live with our mothers alone, I have always felt we're close to each other. He has left a very positive influence on me. I'd say the days we spent together have made me who I am.
Mao 	Speaking of Subaru, I immediately think of the time when he got us all into a financial crisis with BIGBANG... Haha, only he could come up with such an idea to turn a promo work for the ES into something that big. He made Trickstar do everything we can and pursue what we want—he is indeed an idol born to shine on stage.
Impressions of Makoto	Impressions of Makoto
Character 	Text
Hokuto 	During the filming phase of Fist of Idol: Togenkyo, I felt embarrassed when Yuuki was chosen as the leading role after I, who was so arrogant, gave him advice before the audition, thinking I must be the leading role. Later, during the VS GAME, I thought he would feel the same way when he lost to me in his area of expertise, which made me uneasy. But now I know he can use setbacks to fuel his motivation. There's a lot I can learn from him.
Subaru 	Whenever members of Trickstar gather, Ukki and I naturally start goofing around and bantering with each other, and it's always fun♪ Looking back, during the first DDD, we rescued him when Mr. Wakame kidnaped him. We've overcome many hardships to get here, and we'll continue to share our brilliant light with everyone☆
Mao 	Looking back, my first encounter with Makoto was quite unpleasant. Haha, neither of us expected we would become such good buddies. I used to act tough to protect and help him... But he has grown remarkably, starring in successful films and proving himself to be a capable idol♪
Impressions of Mao	Impressions of Mao
Character 	Text
Hokuto 	Last year, only Isara was in a different class than us, so it made me happy that we got to be in the same classroom before we graduate. Isara has always been reliable, so I'm not particularly worried about him. Even when he got a hit during "Autumn Live," he quickly recovered from depression, saw through the enemy's strategy, and performed exceptionally well. It always makes me feel that no matter what happens, he will definitely handle it properly.
Subaru 	Sally is the magician we are most proud of♪ Whether it's preparing for the "ES Introduction Program" or last year's SS, he has given me a lot of help and encouragement. I feel I could never have made it this far without him. He's right that we can trace trajectories that no one can predict! As long as we are together, we can turn everything into sparkling brilliance☆
Makoto 	I still remember that Isara, for once, looked troubled before the "Spring Music Festival." At that time, I didn't know what to do because we'd usually turn to him if there was a problem... That hasn't changed even now. I can't help but think that even if Isara were stranded on a deserted island, he would still survive with no problem... Haha, to continue supporting him in the future, I will keep working hard!

RYUSEITAI=
Impressions of Chiaki	Impressions of Chiaki
Character 	Text
Kanata 	Chiaki is our reliable and warm "RYUSEI Red" in RYUSEITAI~ He is also the first person who made me understand what it means to be a "hero." Since our first Live as a group of five during "Supernova", he has strived to become that cool "hero" figure and a role model for the juniors. However, sometimes, he tends to be too stubborn and shoulder everything himself, even when we, his "companions," are by his side. I really hope he can learn to seek help from everyone around him~
Tetora 	I discovered on last year's sleepover night during Halloween that Morisawa is actually very afraid of ghosts, and we almost arrived late to the stage because of this. He has always tried to show us the cool side of a hero, but I'd say seeing him occasionally showing this imperfect side makes me feel closer to him.
Midori 	I always feel that if I admit this, this person will definitely get carried away... But fine, whether it's in RYUSEITAI, or back when we were in the Basketball Club, Morisawa has always been reassuring. Back then I lacked motivation, but he has always encouraged and supported me. He is such a passionate idiot, but I guess that's why everyone wanted to repay his efforts during the Repayment Festival.
Shinobu 	Lord Morisawa radiates warmth like the sun all the time! When I first entered Yumesaki, I was actually rejected by many units in a row, but Lord Morisawa came up and asked me, "Do you want to be a hero?" and invited me to join RYUSEITAI. Until now, I still feel that it's so great I can be a member of RYUSEITAI and stand on the stage with Lord Morisawa!
Impressions of Kanata	Impressions of Kanata
Character 	Text
Chiaki 	Initially, I thought Kanata, being an "Eccentric," was someone very distant, but in the end, we became essential to each other. You never know what life brings, right? Some of his behaviors are still hard to understand, but he is indeed becoming more and more like a real human being. He's becoming a hero from a "god." I could have never imagined such things would happen before the Battle of the Sea Gods.
Tetora 	Shinkai always manages to surprise people from time to time. He gives off a gentle and harmless vibe, but actually, he's pretty strong and has some strange skills, like catching goldfish. Also, whenever Shinkai speaks at length, I can't understand what he's saying. I still haven't completely figured him out...
Midori 	Shinkai may seem a bit absent-minded, but he always views things from a unique perspective and maintains a cheerful and optimistic attitude no matter what happens. I think he's reliable... Oh, this "Lanternfish" charm on my phone was handmade gift from him. Isn't it cute♪
Shinobu 	Lord Shinkai is very kind and considerate towards others, but he's not that good at taking care of himself... He might puka puka at inappropriate times and places, which could be worrying. For example, I know he can make delicious seafood dishes, but during the Chocolate Fes, I was still surprised that he made algae chocolate...
Impressions of Tetora	Impressions of Tetora
Character 	Text
Chiaki 	During the School Festival, when we held the hero show, I remember Nagumo fending off the delinquents for the Producer, who was then the transfer student. Now, after we graduated, I see him doing a great job leading his juniors. I'd say that I did pass down to him the important things I took after my own seniors.
Kanata 	Tetora is hardworking. He never hides his own "faults" and keeps improving himself. To me, that's really impressive. Still, though he's grown and "toughened" up a lot, as his "senior," I hope he doesn't "push" himself too much.
Midori 	Tetora is my precious friend and reliable team buddy. He's really good at getting along with people, and he can be very considerate, even for someone negative like me... We had our fights like during the Repayment Festival, but looking back now, that's also part of our bonding process.
Shinobu 	Speaking of Tetora, I sometimes still think of the RYUSEI Festival when the fireworks bugged, and he led the Taiko show with Midori and me so that the festival could go on. He's always someone to take up responsibilities, but I want him to know that it's okay not to put up a strong front when he's upset or tired... That's where friends come in, right?
Impressions of Midori	Impressions of Midori
Character 	Text
Chiaki 	Takamine is earnest and pure, and he's got his own dazzling shine. He doesn't usually show much passion, but he actually devotes all of his time to his friends and his hobbies! It's impressive how radiant he was on the stage of the Pirate Fes! Even if he lacks confidence, I believe that he can accomplish anything he wholeheartedly desires!
Kanata 	Midori is kind and caring, and he's really good at encouraging "others"~ I remember that last year I tried to bury myself in the snow, and it was he who discovered and saved me~ Also, he seems to be interested in "deep-sea fish." I love that there's someone in RYUSEITAI who can share my interest♪
Tetora 	I've been classmates with Midori ever since we came to this school! Thanks for being here with me and supporting me always, Midori! Sometimes, Midori still thinks it's weird that the son of a greengrocer becomes an idol, and he might be lacking in energy, but that's part of his unique idol character. Also, he's really tall and handsome! I'm so jealous! Anyway, let's keep up the good work being an idol!
Shinobu 	Unlike me, who's short and small, Midori is often upset that he stands out too much due to his height. But he's super good-looking and very kind! He'd help me carry heavy things around even when he kept saying things like "I'm tired" and "This is so depressing!" Not everyone can work hard and achieve something doing jobs they don't like, you know! And it was all thanks to him that RYUSEITAI was able to make delicious treats at the Chocolate Fes last year!
Impressions of Shinobu	Impressions of Shinobu
Character 	Text
Chiaki 	Sengoku has a small build and may be a bit shy, but he's actually the toughest of us all. He's RYUSEITAI's role model and our compass, a position held by neither Kanata nor me right now. It's so impressive how the juniors have grown. Now, the Stree Live we held a year ago feels so much like a dream!
Kanata 	In fact, "RYUSEITAI" had a tough time this "summer", but Shinobu managed to alleviate the tense atmosphere between Tetora and Midori. I've been watching all along as he—our "RYUSEI Yellow"—grows into a cooler hero~
Tetora 	Shinobu is always honestly expressing himself and chasing what he loves! A ninja may hide in the dark, but he manages to bring us happiness all the time. He's really a ray of miraculous light that breaks the darkness~ I was so glad to see him shine as a ninja on the stages of Scrolls of Times and Ninja Clan♪
Midori 	Shinobu is very good at gathering information and mediate between people. He's one of the core members of the student council, and he's also kinda strategist for RYUSEITAI. But to me, he's more like a mascot... He's very adorable and healing, and he helps calm me down by being there alone.

ALKALOID= 
Impressions of Hiiro	Impressions of Hiiro
Character 	Text
Aira 	Unlike other unit leaders, Hiro is a newcomer who knows nothing about idols and is quite ignorant about many things in the city. He became lost during the summer due to his brother and Crazy:B matters, but ever since I saw him confidently face Crazy:B on stage, we all recognized his abilities and firmly believed that he could become an excellent idol. I must not lose to him! I will go forward together with him!
Mayoi 	Hiiro is an obedient and kind child, my lovely junior... Ekk! I'm sorry, it was arrogant of me to evaluate him as such... But it's true he always manages to break through confusion and strive to pursue what he deems "the right thing." I think such a junior like him is extremely, extremely dazzling.
Tatsumi 	Since I met Hiiro in the summer, I have often been touched by his enthusiasm. Even though there are moments of confusion, he still sticks to what he believes is "the right thing" and leads us forward on the "right path." Every time I see him, I feel like he has infinite energy and potential. Without a doubt, he is the worthy leader of ALKALOID.
Impressions of Aira	Impressions of Aira
Character 	Text
Hiiro 	I haven't known Aira for long, but he has already become a very important companion and friend to me! When we formed ALKALOID, he helped me a lot when I was lost—he encouraged me, and those words are still ingrained firmly in my heart. I still don't know a lot of things about idols and the city, and it's all thanks to Aira that I'm catching up bit by bit. It's really wonderful to be able to become an idol!
Mayoi 	Aira is very cute, rich in emotions, and always works very hard as an idol. It sparks my desire to protect him when I look at him... Ah, it might sound a bit weird, and I apologize for that, but it's also my sincere feeling. As a member of ALKALOID, Aira is always shining brightly with his own brilliance.
Tatsumi 	Aira is the youngest member in ALKALOID. He once struggled with anxiety due to the gap between ideals and reality... But in terms of knowledge on idols and the love for idols, he is far ahead of the other three of us. I believe that as long as he persists in this love for the idol industry and keeps bringing dreams and hopes to the world, he will definitely soar high and become a shining idol.
Impressions of Mayoi	Impressions of Mayoi
Character 	Text
Hiiro 	In my impression, Mayoi is a very shy but kind person. When ALKALOID was just established, he always hid himself and didn't want to come out to see us, making him quite mysterious at that time! Now that we can work together like this, it must be that after experiencing so much together, the seniors have finally opened their hearts to us♪
Aira 	Mayo gives off a somewhat mysterious vibe, and he'd sometimes disappear and say unexpected things to me. His idol skills are quite solid though. When I heard him sing for the first time, I immediately became his fan~! Being able to be in the same unit with such excellent seniors really makes me happy! I Love☆
Tatsumi 	When we first established ALKALOID, Mayoi seemed quite timid... Oh, please don't get me wrong. I didn't feel frustrated or dissatisfied with his behavior. It's just that looking back now, he, who used to hide from us everywhere, is now fully dedicated to the unit's activities while always caring for the juniors and contributing his strength to ALKALOID. Sometimes, it makes me feel like we're the "dad and mom" of our unit♪
Impressions of Tatsumi	Impressions of Tatsumi
Character 	Text
Hiiro 	Although I'm the leader of ALKALOID, I'd still consult Tatsumi in crucial decision-making moments. He's been guarding us with his vast experience. During SS when we faced the previous champion, Trickstar, he did a lot for us. Sometimes, I wish he could rely on us a bit more... I believe Aira and Mayoi also feel the same way.
Aira 	Tattsun is a very charming idol! Unlike us three, he used to be a special student at Reimei Academy and was an outstanding idol already. And since he's gentle and calm, he would even come to talk to me when I'm anxious... he's truly ALKALOID's guardian angel♪ I like him the most!
Mayoi 	Tatsumi is very dazzling in my eyes... he has shown incredible tolerance and understanding even if he has seen the ugly side of mine. Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today. He's protected us tirelessly, which also makes me worried about his condition... I may not be the right person to say this, but I sincerely hope he can let go of his concerns and fully rely on us, as we'll always love him♪

Eden=
Impressions of Nagisa	Impressions of Nagisa
Character 	Text
Hiyori 	Hehe, there's been quite something going on between Nagisa and me! We used to support each other as a family and spent a long time together! No one can separate us! Nagisa used to be especially pure and lovely... Before I knew it, he had grown into a leader who could lead us to higher stages and paradises. Of course, I'd love him no matter what kind of person he becomes♪
Ibara 	Although His Excellency still lacks experience in worldly matters and needs care in life... Oh, I definitely don't mean to blame him! He's calm and thoughtful, has unique ideas about most things, and decisively sets the direction for our unit. It's my honor to assist such a great person! Undoubtedly, as the only god of Eden, His Excellency will surely bring new brilliance to the idol industry!
Jun 	Nagi is the leader of Eden and also an outstanding idol. He is gentle in everyday life but lacks a bit of common sense... However, he'd always manage to spot problems and suggest reasonable solutions. In a sense, he may be the most reliable among us... Haha, I'm not quite sure why I feel that way.
Impressions of Hiyori	Impressions of Hiyori
Character 	Text
Nagisa 	... Hiyori has been by my side from an early age, teaching me many things, starting with the most basic knowledge. Whenever I felt anxious and lost, he would always gently hold my hand and comfort me. We've been together from fine to Eden, and no matter how broken things may become, he'd never let go of my hand. To me, he is an important family member, a reliable companion, and, most of all—a beloved friend.
Ibara 	His Highness Hiyori is not only an idol with a noble status and solid skills, but also the initial guide and partner for His Excellency. He could be quite whimsical in private especially towards me, to the extent that it can be described as quite strict—but I have also received help many times under his guidance. He truly always cares for us, Eden, in his own way.
Jun 	To be honest, Ohiisan is an extremely troublesome person because I can't understand what he's thinking at all... Ah, he would definitely make a fuss if he heard this. However, I know very well about his personal charm. He is the sun of us, Eden, that always warmly shines on everyone. I could even say that if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am now. Don't tell him I said this, okay?... I'm actually really happy that I got to meet him.
Impressions of Ibara	Impressions of Ibara
Character 	Text
Nagisa 	... I believe that Eden is not a group centered around me. From the establishment of Adam to Eden, it all relies on Ibara. Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today. He is a workaholic constantly striving for the future of the unit and the agency. He sometimes makes hasty actions, using some schemes that make others uncomfortable... But I still believe in him more than anyone else. He has guided me step by step and has taken care of me—naturally, he's very important to me.
Hiyori 	The first time I met Ibara, there was a somewhat fake, pleasing smile on his face, which made me uncomfortable. However, it was also he who provided a choice for me and Nagisa, who just left Yumenosaki and had nowhere to go. In this regard, I still want to thank him. Well, he makes people afraid to approach him like a poisonous snake, but so long as Nagisa is willing to believe in him, I will do the same.
Jun 	Unlike me, Ibara's more of a smart guy who's busy every day at the office. Most of the strategies we use to compete with other units come from his schemes... He may not think so himself, but I think it's not an exaggeration to say that he is the core figure of Eden. However, he'd also behave in a somewhat childish manner... Only in those times can I feel that, yeah, he's also a kid my age~
Impressions of Jun	Impressions of Jun
Character 	Text
Nagisa 	... Jun has always been a resilient figure. He has supported Hiyori all along and has provided him with emotional support... Also, as Ibara's peer, they have many things in common... I think that no matter what happens, he will persistently walk on the path he has chosen.
Hiyori 	I have spent a long time with Jun since I met him. When I first saw him, he was diligently doing some training himself, unaffected by the atmosphere of Reimei Academy at that time. Jun's unwillingness to succumb and his struggles were really beautiful, and I became fascinated before I knew it. Now, he is still working hard to shine. Most importantly, Jun is already mine! And we are happily raising Mary together♪
Ibara 	Jun and I are peers in Eden, and we are both juniors. That's probably why His Excellency and His Highness would often treat our banters as child play... Well, I'm not saying that I'm against this kind of treatment. After all, Jun and I have a very friendly and healthy relationship, and in some ways, we are good comrades. You see, we both need to worry about those two seniors in our daily lives.

Valkyrie=
Impressions of Shu	Impressions of Shu
Character 	Text
Mika 	I'm not good at expressin' myself, so it's more difficult for me to talk about Teach... It's just impossible to put into words how important he is to me. It's not an exaggeration to say that he completely changed my life. When I first came to see him, I just wanted to see the god I met when I was small up close... I never expected one day I'd stand on stage with him like this. I will do my best to reach higher artistic heights with him!
Impressions of Mika	Impressions of Mika
Character 	Text
Shu 	It's incredibly hard for me to put my thoughts on Kagehira into words on occasion like this. The relationship and emotions between the two of us are simply far too complex. In the past, he acted as a puppet following my instructions, but now he's learning how to live as a human being. He's my partner—the only partner I can join hands with. As I've said before, I'll hold his hand, help him stand up, and carry him forward until he can walk alone.

2wink=
Impressions of Hinata	Impressions of Hinata
Character 	Text
Yuta 	I sometimes wonder how I could read Big Bro's mind when we were together. I like him best. My Big Bro shed enough light on this world already, so I don't want him to change for my sake anymore. I don't want him to change his favorite color or food or force himself to act like some decent "older brother." We should be alike while different. In others' eyes, we may be a pair of identical twins, but there really are some tiny details that only we can find on the other.
Impressions of Yuta	Impressions of Yuta
Character 	Text
Hinata 	I want to pamper Yuta as his older brother, but Yuta is an independent human being and is even pretty rebellious sometimes. Maybe that's why he wants so badly to quit being the "younger brother" and become simply "Yuta". Well, just like in the Chocolate Fes, I believe he can accomplish anything, for "Yuta" is a ray of light that pierces through the darkness—the light of hope that turns all negatives back to zero♪

Crazy:B=
Impressions of Rinne	Impressions of Rinne
Character 	Text
HiMERU 	Amagi may look like a mischievous troublemaker, but he is actually candid and does things meticulously. However, it can be a bit troublesome when his strong initiatives are combined with his usual style. Despite claiming to be the eldest among Crazy:B, he often acts on his own, leaving others unsure how to react. So, HiMERU wasn't surprised when Yuta misunderstood him in the Night Club Live.
Kohaku 	Rinne is like a locomotive, hidin' all the dissatisfaction and anger toward this world inside him and usin' them as fuel to lead and pull everyone forward. As one of Crazy:B, it's thanks to him that I've come this far step by step and am now able to laugh and talk with everyone. Mind you, he can be a completely different person when he decides to be serious or not, so don't be fooled.
Niki 	Rinne is unreliable no matter how you look at him, and he often says problematic things, but well, he does occasionally show a gentle and kind side. In fact, before he budged into my life, I was often alone, and for a long time, it was just the two of us relying on each other. But now we have more buddies, and it's all thanks to Rinne! Nahaha♪
Impressions of HiMERU	Impressions of HiMERU
Character 	Text
Rinne 	MERUMERU does idol activities to achieve an ideal life for himself and for his most precious person. In other words, he works hard to protect his dreams. He's pretty good at concealing his true self, but I guess we've more or less nurtured some teammate love, right? That's why in "Minotaur's Maze," everyone worked hard to help him to regain the "Ariadne's Thread." I guess he didn't expect that♪
Kohaku 	HiMERU always says, "Because HiMERU is an idol," and almost never shows his negative emotions. Sometimes I feel like I don't really understand him. But as we spend more time together, he no longer hides himself that much. Actually, I think he's quite cheerful. He'd do some strange things from time to time, but he's still the most reliable member of Crazy:B.
Niki 	HiMERU always tries to act like a perfect idol, so at first, I thought he was a bit strange. But after spending some time together, I found out that he also has the joys and sorrows, strengths and weaknesses of an ordinary person. In fact, HiMERU is quite gentle and considerate~ And he always eats his rice completely clean! That makes him a very cultured person♪
Impressions of Kohaku	Impressions of Kohaku
Character 	Text
Rinne 	Kohaku's got a sharp tongue, but he'd never leave the game early! Last time that's how I tricked him into getting us a job offer to promote a honey brand! Still a long way to go, Kohaku! But rest assured—no matter who you are, in this Crazy:B hive, even baby bees can fly as freely as they want! Kyahaha☆
HiMERU 	Among the always chaotic members of Crazy:B, the youngest Oukawa is actually the most reliable one. In the "Minotaur's Maze", in order to help HiMERU regain the "Ariadne's Thread," he voluntarily left behind to deal with the herd—that has left a deep impression on HiMERU. However, in HiMERU's eyes, Oukawa may appear mature in speech and behavior, but he becomes more likable when he occasionally makes childish and cute remarks.
Niki 	Kohaku gives me delicious Japanese snacks, and he always gets excited when he sees me making new dishes. In the "Minotaur's Maze", he even shared the food he had worked hard to bring with me! He's really a super nice kid~ Also, he's someone who values his connections with others a lot, so even though he doesn't say it, he actually loves us like family.
Impressions of Niki	Impressions of Niki
Character 	Text
Rinne 	Frankly, I don't quite get Niki. He has an unusually low sense of self-worth and always worries about causing trouble for others, no matter how much I try to persuade him otherwise. But he's my savior, so I must fulfill his wishes and make him happy. Like, "Hot Limits" was my idea, you know? If we get into cooking contests and idol activities at the same time, at least one of our stomachs or souls will be satisfied, right?
HiMERU 	Shiina seems to really enjoy making meals for others; cooking and eating seem to be constantly on his mind. But in other words, this means he has something incredibly important that can't be replaced. HiMERU is very curious about how Shiina sees the world, but HiMERU hopes Shiina doesn't say anything about quitting being an idol and focusing on cooking, which could be troubling.
Kohaku 	Niki always acts like a child. He just follows his desires with food always on his mind, but I don't think this is bad. Or should I say, his way of living is the "correct answer" to Crazy:B. Whether being an idol or a chef, he does a great job. During "Hot Limits," he even participated in a dessert-making contest and our performance at the same time. He's truly a reckless guy.

UNDEAD=
Impressions of Rei	Impressions of Rei
Character 	Text
Kaoru 	Rei can become friends with almost anyone, and no matter what others say or do to him, he remains unmoved, and this sometimes can create a sense of distance. Still, at the same time, he is capable of doing everything well, so handing things over to him puts my mind at ease. Since I graduated and joined the agency, I've always felt that it's such a relief to have Rei as a buddy.
Koga 	I came up with the name UNDEAD, meaning that we could still live on even if we were defined dead by the whole world! We are a bunch of the coolest beings who can transcend life and death easily, just like Sakuma! I've always said I want to become someone like him—it's like, just being with him brings continuous life power into me!
Adonis 	I've known Sakuma since I was young. He's a very gentle and kind person who taught me many things I didn't know. Later, it was also him who brought me to the other members of UNDEAD, which started my new life in this country. He's like an older brother to me.
Impressions of Kaoru	Impressions of Kaoru
Character 	Text
Rei 	In my eyes, Kaoru has always been mysterious, just like his name... Like floating feathers, like free wind, like a trace of fragrance... It was me who invited him to join UNDEAD, so I must at least make sure that he wouldn't regret it, even if it requires fabricating fake news like during the Star Fes... Even if he resents me, I would have still made the same choice.
Koga 	You see me banter with Hakaze every day calling him a playboy or something, but it's actually thanks to this guy that UNDEAD is complete, especially after last summer when he suddenly became proactive about work. I'd say he's pretty much an outstanding senior member.
Adonis 	Hakaze is very kind and considerate. When we were on the tropical island, he worried about me a lot after I went for a long dive without telling them beforehand. It's warm to know that someone cares about you so much. He often takes good care of me, and sometimes, I wish to help solve his problems. But in the end, it would always end up in me being encouraged by him instead. That's why I hope to grow and get stronger so that he can rely on me when he needs support.
Impressions of Koga	Impressions of Koga
Character 	Text
Rei 	Koga has a bad habit of shouldering all burdens alone so that others don't notice his troubles and pain. Still, we have been in the same unit since the DEADMANS era. He could be stubborn, but he does not reject absorbing nutrients from other places to make himself stronger. I believe that, in his current state, he can continue to grow vigorously until he shocks the world with his rock music♪
Kaoru 	Koga is the most passionate about rock music and has been dedicated to it for the longest time among UNDEAD. I'd say, an innocent, pure, and fearless child like him is certainly the strongest! He often acts mysterious and doesn't want to talk about his past experiences with everyone, but I'm actually very curious about what he used to be like.
Adonis 	There's a lot of things I'm not familiar with, and it's always Ogami who teaches me those. When I got a new phone, he patiently taught me step by step. When I wanted to improve my acting skills for a TV drama, I also learned how to express emotions from him. Now we are in the third grade, he became my classmate, and we spent more time together. I'm very happy about that.
Impressions of Adonis	Impressions of Adonis
Character 	Text
Rei 	"Adonis, you're admirable for your integrity and pure nature."—This was what I told him when we first met, and he hasn't changed after so many years. His introverted and conservative nature might seem unusual for an idol, but his songs and passions connect people together as well. Adonis will surely convey his unique charm to the whole world.
Kaoru 	Adonis always expresses his passion and sincerity straightforwardly, and that's exactly his charm. Sometimes, I overthink a bit about my role as a senior, too, so I guess we both have a long way to go. I hope we can continue to progress together through work, training, and various experiences♪
Koga 	Sometimes we are shy or want to save face and can't express our thoughts frankly, but Adonis has always been sincere and straightforward. I need to learn more from him~ He's usually easy-going, but he can be quite childish when it comes to things about his sisters. Honestly, I'm kinda curious about that.

Ra*bits=
Impressions of Tomoya	Impressions of Tomoya
Character 	Text
Nazuna 	Tomo-chin has talents he's not aware of♪ Before I officially returned, he had done a good job leading Ra*bits. It's reassuring to watch how fast he grows, and he also made me reflect on and rethink some of my own selfish doings. Now he's my role model for becoming a reliable grown-up~ Let's take good care of Ra*bits together, Tomo-chin...☆
Mitsuru 	Tomo is the second reassuring person to me after Ni~chan! He's sometimes more strict than Ni~chan, but I'm okay with that! If there's anything that makes him wanna run away again on his own, I will use my perfect hunting skills to find him, like how I did before Ni~chan's comeback Live♪ Rely on me all you want when you are lonely, Tomo☆
Hajime 	Among all the people I know, Tomoya is the most earnest and hardworking one, and he's also the most special and precious person to me. We had the biggest fight of our lives during the Halloween Party event, making me feel I was going to lose him... But he's still here with me now, giving me power whenever I feel lost. I believe this personality is why Ni~chan chose him to be the current leader of Ra*bits.
Impressions of Nazuna	Impressions of Nazuna
Character 	Text
Tomoya 	Now, I've taken over as the leader of Ra*bits, but there are still times I lack confidence, and that's when I'd try to think, "What would Ni~chan do in this situation?" How should I put it... Without him, I might lose my way. But sometimes, I think he might spoil us too much, making me unable to resist continuing to rely on him...
Mitsuru 	Ni~chan is the most reliable person in my eyes! I also want to become someone like him, a responsible grown-up whom everyone can rely on! Although it will take a long, long time, I will continue to accumulate experience and go forward together with everyone! I will make Ra*bits even stronger!
Hajime 	Even though I've been one of Ra*bits for so long, I still want to say that meeting Ni~chan is wonderful~♪ Ra*bits allows me, who is usually the older brother, to have someone I can rely on and get spoiled by. I really want to continue being a Ra*bits forever with him and everyone!
Impressions of Mitsuru	Impressions of Mitsuru
Character 	Text
Tomoya 	Mitsuru can be a bit reckless when he's excited, but he's also improving bit by bit and is more responsible now. He's doing really well in his TV drama jobs! I envy him so much sometimes~ I need to work harder to present to our fans a lovelier Ra*bits.
Nazuna 	Most of us Ra*bits members have changed to some extent, and Mitsuru-chin is the one who just stays who he is. He's as energetic and passionate as ever! Maybe it's not bad after all for him to just dash onwards as he likes it♪ But I don't want him to overdo it. I always have your back, Mitsuru-chin☆
Hajime 	Mitsuru is like an energetic little sun♪ He gets along with others very quickly, and he's talented enough to remember very difficult dance moves in a short time! I want to say this is unfair, but he's an absolute genius~ It's very difficult to catch up with him, but I won't give up~
Impressions of Hajime	Impressions of Hajime
Character 	Text
Tomoya 	To think that Hajime and I spent longer time together than anyone else... To me, it was a huge relief when I was able to join Ra*bits with him together. Now he's working really hard to become cuter for our unit's sake, and even though there were times he felt lost, he never gave up. I will always stay by his side—and we will protect and support our precious Ra*bits together.
Nazuna 	Hajime-chin is very talented. He used to lack confidence, but he's gotten better thanks to Tomo-chin's continued support. Now, he has received many solo work offers, which means that he's being recognized and welcomed by more and more people♪
Mitsuru 	Hajime is super cute~! Every time I see him after a while, he surprises me with his new cuteness~♪ You know, I learn new dances pretty quickly, but sometimes he can catch up to my pace, so he's also an awesome guy~!

Impressions of Keito	Impressions of Keito
Character 	Text
Kuro 	Hasumi and I have been through a difficult time together. Even now, I'd still think of when we met near the Live House. Now, since the ES is here, there are still many things we must strive to achieve by firmly moving towards our goals and fully showing ourselves, and our bonds as AKATSUKI. Honestly speaking, I still feel sorry for causing him trouble during </i>Blade & Fist</i>.
Souma 	Sir Hasumi is an extremely important person to me. In the past, I couldn't quite understand what others were saying and insisted on carrying my sword with me, and it was Sir Hasumi who gave me approval. During our usual idol activities, he also provided me with a lot of help and guidance. Of course, I am no longer just someone who merely follows Sir Hasumi and Sir Kiryu. As "Souma Kanzaki," I must fully showcase myself and become an idol that makes them proud!
Impressions of Kuro	Impressions of Kuro
Character 	Text
Keito 	Kiryu is important in my idol career... no, more precisely, he is important and indispensable in my entire life. We've been through countless difficult days and nights together in Yumenosaki, so I never thought we could one day have disagreements and arguments. But now, I think it's hardly a matter at all. Kiryu always thinks he's not very smart, but in Blade & Fist, he reached the best conclusion we could have had, and he managed to show his true self and shined brightly. I'm very grateful to him for always being by my side.
Souma 	Sir Kiryu and I both value martial arts, but he is more mature and powerful than I am. He has always supported Sir Hasumi with a passionate heart, guarding AKATSUKI and protecting his friends and family. During Blade & Fist, he and I engaged in a "lively exchange" in our own best ways. I heard Sir Kiryu's inner thoughts and saw a rare side of him.
Impressions of Souma	Impressions of Souma
Character 	Text
Keito 	Kanzaki used to give me quite a headache. However, he has always had a passionate heart, showing talent in idol activities without being complacent. Since joining the ES, his progress has been remarkable. He has unconsciously grown from a kid following our orders to an excellent equal who actively thinks, solves problems, and showcases himself.
Kuro 	Kanzaki is a passionate and upright junior. Although he is somewhat impulsive, I don't think it's a bad thing. During Blade & Fist, Hasumi and I were stuck in our old mindset, and it was Kanzaki who actively mediated, listening to both of us and resolving the problems. Haha, the kid who always followed our steps finally showcased his own abilities.

Knights=
Impressions of Tsukasa	Impressions of Tsukasa
Character 	Text
Leo 	Before I knew it, Suou~ had already become the next King from a rookie who didn't know what he was doing! He must be having a tough time because we are all so egoistic, and he has many problems related to the juniors on hand! But I see that he's never stopped working hard and thinking about the future of Knights. So what I should do now is to protect him just like a knight! I believe he'd be a much better "King" than I was...♪
Izumi 	Kasa is always so bratty. He's pretty annoying! I bet he's imitating me whenever he fusses over us. But he still got that admiring look in his eyes... It makes me not wanna look bad, you know? I don't believe he has already turned our new King when he was just a newbie not so long ago... It's my obligation as a knight, then, to protect his procession. I hope he'll one day become a man of reason, beauty, and honor, just like me!
Ritsu 	In the beginning, Su~chan became one of Knights through pure admiration and hard work. He still gets angry at us sometimes, but I bet he knows better than anyone that we are the best... Still, I don't remember raising him into a war fanatic after he became the new King... But I guess it can't be helped since these guys are a bunch of warmongers themselves. Anyways, I sincerely wish that you can become a great “King", Su~chan~
Arashi 	I remember little Tsukasa was very worried about me during the Tanabata Festival... Well, I had my own reasons when I first said I wouldn't participate, but he should know it's not my fault I decided for the better later! He's a cute, good boy even though he's got the title of a King now. To think that I was the one to pass him the crown during Requiem—He treasures Knights the most, so I will always follow his lead.
Impressions of Leo	Impressions of Leo
Character 	Text
Tsukasa 	Leo is a very carefree person. For a long time, he called me "newbie," to the point that I didn't even want to admit that he was the LEADER of Knights. I had many complaints about him before, and even now, I can't say that I completely understand his thoughts, but it's also true that I admire him. He has given me a lot of advice and encouragement as the King and praised me... Anyway, I will never let him down.
Izumi 	Leo has really caused me quite a bit of trouble! After Next Door, I ended up becoming someone who manages and takes care of him... That being said, we've known each other for a long time, and I'd say we know each other well. I genuinely think his compositions are excellent, and it's true he's helped me a lot. I regret what happened between us in the past, and I don't intend to repeat my mistakes. Now, we've both achieved some success abroad. It's not bad, I suppose.
Ritsu 	Knights is a unit established by Tsukipi~ and Se~cchan. From the beginning, Tsukipi~'s music has been the soul of Knights, as he is a genius that no one can match. Now, looking back at the Requiem, my performance was indeed too conservative. It was Tsukipi~ who told me that he wanted to see the stage that belonged to Ritsu Sakuma, not the little brother of Rei Sakuma... Haha, I will, as he said, always try to fully show myself and enjoy life.
Arashi 	Leo has been an extreme type of artist before. He'd dive deep and immerse himself in composing to the point that sometimes he could even skip his meals, which can be quite worrisome. He also likes to call himself "Dad," even though I feel I'm more like a parent since I'm the one who looks after him. He sometimes pinpoints our problems sharply, making us wonder if he's just pretending not to understand or if he genuinely doesn't.
Impressions of Izumi	Impressions of Izumi
Character 	Text
Tsukasa 	Sena always sticks to his own ideas, and if someone opposes or complains, he will get upset. He also likes to "bully" juniors, especially me... However, his resolute and proud figure, along with his strong yet beautiful posture, is exactly what I idealize in a knight. I know he's just not honest with his words and that it's often for my own good when he tries to make me do things... But sometimes, I hope at least when it involves food, he can be a bit more lenient...
Leo 	Sena~ is pure and beautiful, and I really like him♪ Knights was originally a unit formed by the two of us, and I always felt that if it weren't for Sena~, I would have probably given up being an idol due to various things! Now that he has achieved some success abroad, I am really happy! I promised to help him realize his dream, and with me around, rest assured that I will make him "Number One"!
Ritsu 	Se~cchan reached out to help me the first time we met, even though we were strangers then... Shortly after, I became a member of Knights. We have suffered a lot of setbacks in the past, but he is the kind of sword that has been tempered a thousand times and will never break. Now, he has become a very precious friend to me. His quick temper makes it easy for others to misunderstand him, but in fact, everyone loves him, as well as his flaws.
Arashi 	I actually have lived quite a similar life to Izumi's—we both entered the industry as child models and gained popularity. Well, I have to admit that it's thanks to him, who cleared the way ahead, that I could have followed his footsteps so easily... Now, our goals are probably the same. We will continue to stay together and move on as Knights.
Impressions of Ritsu	Impressions of Ritsu
Character 	Text
Tsukasa 	During the Tanabata Festival, the always reliable Narukami encountered a problem, and it's all thanks to Ritsu reminding me and telling me that I could go to him for advice. He was also there to stop me when I was about to make mistakes. Ritsu is an important strategist and counselor for Knights. I'm really grateful to have him around.
Leo 	Ritsu~ is always elusive, and you'd suddenly find him sleeping somewhere! After Sena~ and I graduated, he has been working harder than before now, supporting the juniors of Knights together with Naru~! I believe that he can indeed, as I told him in Requiem, build a kingdom that belongs only to him without caring about the opinions or judgments of others ☆
Izumi 	When we first met, I felt that Kuma was quite suspicious and never fully awake, but I couldn't just ignore him. He is too smart. It feels like even if I don't say anything, he can guess what I'm thinking. I have other friends I like a lot, but there's only one friend like him.
Arashi 	Little Ritsu is a very smart strategist who can always see the big picture and take the best course of action. Just like in "Euthanasia," only he saw the "correct path," leading us to a perfect ending where nothing needed to be sacrificed, and thus, we gained affection from many. I believe that with him as our strategist, Knights will indeed become stronger. We won't lose to anyone♪
Impressions of Arashi	Impressions of Arashi
Character 	Text
Tsukasa 	In my eyes, Narukami is always righteous, gentle, and chivalric. After I became the King, Narukami assisted me wholeheartedly. I will never fail the crown that was entrusted to me during the Requiem. I will lead Knights forward like how I was guided.
Leo 	Naru~ always says that compared to victory, it's more important everyone gets close and enjoys performing together. So you see, we have but one pacifist here in Knights who would never leave us alone! I hope we can always be like this.
Izumi 	For a long time, back when Kasa was immature, and Kuma lacked motivation, it was Naru, and I who handled most of the unit matters. Speaking of which, I've known Naru for a long time. This unpleasant little devil snatched away a lot of work from me back when we were kids. Now, I think Naru has changed and now understands how to take care of others' feelings. But one's essence doesn't change easily, and we still have some similarities.
Ritsu 	Na~cchan is easily the most stable member of Knights, especially when I tend to slack off now and then. I've never had any complaints~ So do you understand why I was so worried during the Tanabata Festival...? But fortunately, Na~cchan shone brilliantly on stage again.

Character 	Text
Tsumugi 	I already knew Natsume when I was very, very young. Many things happened back then~ Oh, he'll surely get angry if he hears me mentioning those again because, after all, I did hurt him quite a bit... Still, he may speak sharp words, but he does care about those around him, and he wants to bring happiness to everyone. Now, Natsume is already a magician who can bring happiness to others. Of course, I haven't forgotten my promise to him—that we will find happiness together♪
Sora 	Master~ is a very skilled magician and fortune-teller! He's always very kind to Sora. He taught Sora a lot about magic and always cared about Sora. Before, when Sora comforted himself with dolls made by Senpai, he startled Master~ a lot, and it made Sora feel somewhat sorry... As the captain of Switch, Master~ is always the shining star of hope for Sora! He will hold Sora's hand and lead him towards a brighter future~♪

Character 	Text
Natsume 	As for me and that Fuzzy haIR... we met when we were kiDS, and I really hope he can stop calling me "Little Namy." He'd hurt others unconsciousLY, but that's partly because of his family backgrouND. After becoming the vice presideNT, he has been so busy that it worries mE... if he collapsES, how can he fulfill our ideals and promisES...? I have to keep an eye on hiM.
Sora 	Since joining the ES, Senpai has become very busy, and Sora could only get to spend a little time with him. Sora can only use the dolls Senpai gave him to relieve loneliness... but Sora understands! The experienced Senpai would always take on jobs disliked by others, and he would always also support Sora when he's about to fall... He is truly the gentlest and kindest person~♪
Impressions of Sora	Impressions of Sora
Character 	Text
Natsume 	Sora is born with "magic" in hiM. He's the youngest in Switch, and both Senpai and I vowed to protect him welL. But that's not what Sora wanTS—we talked to him many times and finally learned his true feelINGS: He wants to join us and walk with us at the same pacE. So, I'll grant his wish and guide him since the true enchantment is the magic circle the three of us build togeTHER.
Tsumugi 	Sora has synesthesia, which must have made his life quite challenging. But he didn't give up. Instead, he bravely used his abilities to connect with others, understand their true feelings, and heal them... Sora is already our equal, and I believe he'll become a true "magician" who brings dreams to others♪

MaM has always been about rushing to different places to conduct activities and bringing about a festive atmosphere. Due to some reasons, MaM has had fewer opportunities to show up lately, but I still look forward to the time I can stand on stage again and receive everyone's cheers☆

Kohaku 	Madara is very good at gettin' along with others, and he always manages to liven up the atmosphere, makin' him a partner I can trust. But he also got lotta unnecessary thoughts, and he likes to put himself in a supportin' role... When we were plannin' for the Spring Night Live, he took me to the arcade I've always wanted to go. But I hope he can also go where he wants and do whatever he likes. Take it as a blessing from his partner who holds a same ground♪

Character 	Text
Madara 	Both Kohaku and I have seen the dark side of the underground world, so I think we could get along well. But on the other hand, we'd also disagree violently at times. So, on the "Spring Night" Live, I was a little surprised to hear he wanted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Double Face together. It turns out that we have already become partners who can entrust their backs to each other.
