(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	やべっ・・・・。ラジオの本番前だってのに、ウタタネしちまったぜ～。ったく、オリンピックて～やつは、悪党の時間まで狂わせるのか？ 団員のみんな！起きてるか？もうすぐ、ロケット団ひみつ帝国が始まるぜ！ 	Damn… It’s almost time to record a radio, I stupidly took a nap. Damn Olympic stuff even changes our timezone huh? Members! You’re awake? Its almost the time to listen to the radio! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「コジロウさんはムサシさんのことを好きですか?」俺は、ムサシもニャースも、そして団員もみんなも大好きだぜ？おっと！サカキ様は尊敬してるぜ！ 	“James, do you love Jessie?” I love Jess, Meowth and every members you know? Oh! And I respect Mr. Giovannni! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「一応貯金あるんだ？w」ＢＷは、出てない事が多かったからなぁ～。かなりバイトに専念出来たのさ。 	“You have some savings huh? lol” Yeah we had less appearance in BW series. We concentrated on the part time job. (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「もっかい言ってみよう。ロケット団さんの解散します詐欺には今まで何度も合ってるので問題ないです！(´ω｀) 」詐欺？ふふふふ。なんたって、俺たちは悪党だからな！ 	“Let me say that again. I don’t have any problems for you guys’ gonna-dissolution-frauds! :) ” A fraud? Hahaha. Remember, we are the gang! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「外国人の団員（フォロワー）が増えてるのお気づきですか？私が勧誘しておきましたよー！」まじか？ありがとう！ 	“You noticed the number of foreign members (followers) are increasing? I solicited them!” Seriously? Thanks! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「ロケット団の皆様、毎回楽しくラジオ拝聴しています。アニメも15年間毎週欠かさず見ています。ラジオでニャースさんとコジロウさんのが流れましたね。ぜひ、このラジオでムサシさんの曲とロケット団の皆様が歌う新曲を作っていただけたら幸いです。これからも応援しています 」考えておくよ！ 	“Dear Team Rockets. I’m glad I can listen to the radio every week. I watch the anime without absence for 15 years. We had a song sang by James and Meowth, don’t we. We would be very happy if you compose a new song for Jessie and for trio. Regards.” Well we must think about it! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「９月が不安です。アニメ予告を見るとサカキ様に何かありそうなので」現在、大きな作戦を遂行中だからな・・・。でも、俺たちがついているから大丈夫だ！ 	“I don’t want the September comes. Anime review shows some no good will happen to Giovanni.” We are in the big strategy now, but no worries! We are be with him! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「Ｒ団に入るまでは毎日豪華な食事とってたんだよね？口に合わない食事あるんですか？」一人で広い屋敷で食べるご飯より、三人でワイワイ食べるビスケットのほうが、ご馳走なんだと気付いたんだよ！ 	“You had a gorgeous meal every day before you became a member of TR, don’t you? Do you have any meal that you cannot afford of?” I realized that the biscuits with trio-chatting are more like feast, than the lonely dinner in the huge dining room! (James) 	
(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「ラジオがCD化したら、特典にレアな王冠つけてください！！」絶対にやだ！ 	“If the recorded CD was released, please give us a free rare-bottlecap as a bonus!” Never! (James)

(Few important quotes from twitter, July to September)	「コジロウさん、ムサシを結婚して！」を、じゃなくて・・・と、じゃないのか？ 	“Mr. James, marry let Jessie!” You mean, with… rather than, let? (James)
