LIP×LIP FILM×LIVE Special Radio
English Translation
-----
T/N: Keep in mind that Japanese and English aren’t my first language. I never claim my translation (attempts) to be error-free. As always, if you’re going to use or reference my translations, please do not claim it as your own and credit me.
This track is an enclosed benefit in the Deluxe version of the Blu-Ray/DVD. The length is around 18min. When I first listened to it in 2021, I immediately love it! It seems serious at first but it’s quite hilarious XD I wanted to translate it back then actually, but it’s so long!! Songs are easier to tl because they’re like bite-sized. But drama tracks...I’m not good at translating by ear...lol. Though I did my best for this one, so I hope it’s close enough!! ( ´ ▽ ` )
But I really had a lot of fun translating this, haha. I was supposed to post it for LIPxLIP’s birthday this year, but well, I couldn’t fit it into my sched that time. And I’ve been busy afterwards, so I was only able to work on it again a few days ago. Anyways, YAY, FINALLY, I finished translating! I’m really proud of myself for doing so! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

Both: LIPxLIP FILMxLIVE Special Radio!
Aizou: Hello! This is LIPxLIP’s Aizou and-
Yuujirou: Yuujirou. Please take care of us.
Aizou: We’re in your care.
Yuujirou: It’s finally on sale.
Aizou: Finally! The Blu-ray and DVD containing the secret story behind the formation of our unit LIP×LIP!
Yuujirou: With that being said, it was released in the theaters nationwide in the year 2020 - LIP×LIP FILM×LIVE.
Aizou: This time, to commemorate the release of the Blu-Ray and DVD, the two of us will deliver a certain program. Applause, please.
*clapping sfx*
Yuujirou: Listening to this program means you’ve already watched the main story, right?
Aizou: There might be inside stories about the movie and the LIVE, so for the people who have not seen it yet, please head over there and check it out.
Yuujirou: Nevertheless, yabai ne.
Aizou: What is?
Yuujirou: Because if you have this Blu-Ray, you can watch the movie and the LIVE for as many times as you like!
Aizou: Yes, yes! You can watch the scene where Yuujirou cuts his bangs for as much as you like!
Yuujirou: “I…can’t do the LIVE….” Aizou’s disheartened murmuring as well.
Aizou: Don’t say that!
Yuujirou: By the way, there have been a lot of reactions since the film was released, any reaction on your side?
Aizou: Speaking of which, a while after the movie came out, our classmates came close to me with smiles on their faces, and all of a sudden, they showed me their bags. When I thought, what about it…my can badge was pinned on it.
Yuujirou: The film’s benefits?
Aizou: Yes, yes. Of course, it made me happy…but I felt slightly embarrassed. But well…Yuujirou’s can badge is a different matter - it annoys me.
Yuujirou: Why? My can badge is great~
Yuujirou: But I’m grateful to have people close to us watch it.
Aizou: Yeah. I’m really thankful. And you, Yuujirou? Did something happen?
Yuujirou: Ah, just now- it’s about yesterday though. We had lessons until late yesterday, right? So, when I came back home, I could hear a woman’s sniffles coming from the living room- and while thinking ‘It’s scary. Scary.’, I opened the door and-
Aizou: You opened the door and...?
Yuujirou: With a bath towel in one hand, Mom was crying, watching our movie.
Yuujirou: Look, we received the Blu-Ray before the others, right.
Aizou: Yeah, well- I have a feeling it’s probably Yuujirou’s mother, but a bath towel-
Yuujirou: Though she also came to the theaters. It seems the more she watches it, the more she starts to cry from the get-go. Even now, she cries at the opening LIVE.
Aizou: Ah, she was crying at that part…?
Yuujirou: Wait, anyway- It’s not good to continue to stay in this corner.
Yuujirou: Aizou, hey, like this.
Aizou: Don’t order me.
Yuujirou: It’s because, here, Aizou will be in-charge of the script.
Aizou: Okay, fine! I just have to do it, right?
02:36
Aizou: And so, the first corner is “Because it is now that I can speak of it - the FILM×LIVE Inside Stories”.
*clapping sfx*
Aizou: Here in this corner, about half a year after the film was released, we can talk about LIP×LIP FILM×LIVE. Because it is now that we can speak of it. Things such as this and that happened.
Yuujirou: Inside stories, huh.
Yuujirou: We did a lot of things for the release of our film, right.
Aizou: Yes, yes. We also used the live streaming software to broadcast it and everyone had a look.
Yuujirou: The secret footage of the dressing room will be seen by our Julietta.
Aizou: Don’t say secret footage! Manager knows it and she properly gave permission.
Yuujirou: “Eh? Don’t tell me- Aizou’s like this!?” You might see that side of him.
Aizou: If you say that, it applies to you too!
Aizou: As to the story of the film, though you will know the reason why our unit name is LIP×LIP, this radio’s program was crazy at first.
Yuujirou: Yes, yes. President decided on that, right.
Aizou: That name ended up as, ‘Delivering to Julietta: Ai ♡ Yuu’
Yuujirou: The President says hackneyed is good, but as expected, it’s that.
Aizou: Don’t say that. Though I’ll do everything in my power to stop it.
Aizou: Or rather- there’s one thing I want to tell you!
Yuujirou: What is it?
Aizou: When there is a delivery, can we stop using rock-paper-scissors in choosing who will go first?
Yuuijrou: But why?
Yuujirou: It’s fair and square.
Aizou: Because I can’t win in janken (rock-paper-scissors)!
Aizou: Today as well, the sweets I wanted were taken by you.
Yuujirou: Aizou’s really weak at janken ne.
Aizou: Didn’t we fight over the tuna mayo onigiri in the movie?
Yuujirou: Ah, the ones that Uchida-san bought for us after our dance lessons?
Aizou: Yes, yes. I lost at janken that time. You ate the tuna mayo then.
Yuujirou: But since then, the tuna mayo rice balls we’ve been eating have become two.
Aizou: It did. It did. Ah but, there are times where it appears as a different bento in other studios. Like meat and fish.
Yuujirou: There were.
Aizou: At such times, why is it that every time I want to eat something it’s similar to you, I can’t win at janken, and I feel like I’m the only one losing money.
Yuujirou: About that- Well- Ganbatte.
Aizou: The way you say it pisses me off!
Yuujirou: But, there is no quicker way to resolve it other than janken.
Aizou: For that- Today is the day I choose first. The next time is the day Yuujirou will choose first.
Yuujirou: Ehhh, then- if Aizou wins at janken, then we will go with your suggestion.
Aizou: I told you- Didn’t we just talk about that I can’t win in that.
Yuujirou: You won’t know if you don’t try. Who knows, you might win by some possibility. For the time being, let’s do it once.
Aizou: He really said ‘by some possibility’.
Yuujirou: Enough of that, look, let’s do it.
Both: Starting with rock, jankenpon!
Aizou: Why did I go with scissors-
Yuujirou: I’m rock, so it’s my win! And so- Aizou’s suggestion is rejected!
Aizou: Seems like I can’t win anymore in my lifetime.
Aizou: Ah, so- do you have none to share, Yuujirou? Some inside stories?
Yuuijrou: Oh right, it’s a story about our lessons. We receive vocal lessons too, right?
Aizou: The snippets of that and our dance lessons were cut in the movie, right.
Yuujirou: I want to show those to Julietta.
Aizou: Why?
Yuujirou: Because- Aizou couldn’t even read the sheet music. Though IV-san, who came to our lessons, had a smile on his face, he must have been absolutely fed up with you.
Aizou: Even though I couldn’t read it, I could sing it just by listening to it.
Yuujirou: I heard it during our LIVE too, but you can properly read it now, right?
Aizou: Yes- Well- Perfectly.
Yuujirou: How suspicious. Though you couldn’t read the sheet music, you could sing the chorus well.
Aizou: That’s because- if I sing this part by how it feels, it will generally sound and feel good, right?
Yuujirou: It….will…? Anyway, forget it. In the next vocal lesson, I’ll check whether Aizou has learned to read sheet music or not, and I’ll wait for the opportunity to report the details in some way.
Aizou: No- you don’t have to do it!
Yuujirou: But, in terms of our lessons, we are greatly indebted to everyone from Full Throttle4.
Aizou: Truly. They are already busy on their own and they took the trouble to take care of us newcomers.
Yuujirou: After our lessons, they would occasionally come to the agency and see how we are.
Aizou: Oh, about that! I was invited by YUI-san to eat ramen.
Yuujirou: Eh!? I wasn’t invited!
Aizou: You went back first that day because you had something to do at your house.
Yuujirou: Take me along next time, then.
Aizou: You can just go with me.
Yuujirou: No, Aizou is out of the options.
Aizou: Why!?
06:43
Yuujirou: Ah, about the inside stories! I remembered one!
Aizou: What is it, what is it?
Yuujirou: There’s a secret place you told me about.
Aizou: Ah, that place where we practiced secretly after our lessons at the agency.
Yuujirou: Yes, there.
Yuujirou: We’ve practiced there many times but there was once a time that we were not able to practice at all.
Aizou: There was?
Yuujirou: There was! When we were practicing, a stray cat came out of nowhere, and Aizou was all, ‘You’re adorable! Where did you come from?’ and became so madly in love with the cat.
Aizou: Don’t exaggerate the story!
Aizou: I did think of the cat as adorable but ‘dechuu ne’- there’s no way I’d say that!
[T/N: dechuu ne - a cute form of desu ne]
Yuujirou: Well, you didn’t say it but-
Aizou: See, I knew it!
Yuujirou: But, the ‘we were not able to practice’ was true.
Aizou: That’s because...when a cat rubs against one’s legs, most people will pat their heads, right?
Yuujirou: They don’t rub against me…
Aizou: What, were you envious?
Yuujirou: I am not envious! I am a dog person.
Aizou: Yes, yes~ if you say so.
07:33
Aizou: Ah, do you have any inside story about the LIVE part this time?
Yuujirou: Oh yeah… The LIVE this time around..from the set-list to the small details of the performance, we put forward a lot of our suggestions, right?
Aizou: Hmm yeah, the staff had numerous meetings as well.
Yuujirou: Yes, that’s why, we were aware of how the performance will go in general. But even so, Aizou, when he saw the sparks in the performance he was all, ‘Amazing!! Wow!! That’s awesome!!’ like a primary schooler would.
Aizou: Are you exaggerating again?
Yuujirou: This one just now was not.
Aizou: Ah- no, but-! That can’t be helped! Wait, Yuujirou was excited, too!
Yuujirou: Not as much as Aizou though.
Yuujirou: But really, it was more amazing than we imagined.
Aizou: It was incredible. And later, the light from the penlights as seen from the stage was stunning.
Yuujirou: Aizou can’t say anything other than yabai.
Aizou: Shut up! It was truly stunning! Everyone’s waving their blue and yellow penlights-
Yuujirou: There was a lot of blue. It was beautiful.
Aizou: Haa? There was more yellow!
Yuujirou: Blue!
Aizou: Yellow!
08:33
Aizou: Ah, but- LOVE&KISS made its debut this time and it was exceptionally well-received.
Yuujirou: Yes, that’s right. Everyone was enthusiastic during the solo dance part in the interlude before the last chorus.
Aizou: Just as I thought, it was correct to add dynamic dance steps to it!
Yuujirou: Yes, by the way, does Aizou have any favorite lyrics in LOVE&KISS?
Aizou: Ah, there’s a lot, but I think it’s the chorus.
Aizou: Zettai yume wa, zettai kimi no, LOVE&KISS~
Aizou: Zettai muri wa, zekkouchou de kowashichae~
Aizou: That part.
Yuujirou: Other than that?
Aizou: Ah, right. Before the chorus.
Aizou: Kugidzuke ni shite yaru~
Aizou: I also like that one.
Yuujirou: Ah, that was close!
Aizou: Eh? What do you mean by ‘close’?
Yuujirou: There are similar lyrics at the end of the last chorus, right? Not the ‘kugidzuke ni shite yaru’.
Aizou: Yakitsuke sasete ageru yo…?
Yuujirou: With that being said, the next is this-!!
Yuujirou: Like a kiss, we want to convey these words to you. A corner in which we set fire to the hearts of Julietta!
*clapping sfx*
09:37
Yuujirou: In this corner, with a given situation, we will speak lines that can set fire to Julietta’s heart using dialogues!
Aizou: Hey, don’t continue like nothing happened!
Yuujirou: Eh, what?
Aizou: You made me say it needlessly! Like the ‘yakitsuke sasate ageru yo’!
Yuujirou: But we can’t go to the next corner if you don’t do it.
Aizou: No. Do it normally.
Yuujirou: Alright, first, an example!
Yuujirou: Oh no! When you open your eyes, somehow, you’ve turned into a frog! Not to mention, there is a big snake in front of you. You have to find a way to convince the snake in order for you to overcome this crisis.
Aizou: No, no, wait a minute-
Yuujirou: What is it?
Aizou: I want to question a lot of things- but- this will not set fire to Julietta’s heart but the snake’s instead!
Yuujirou: As far as the result is concerned, is it not enough if it can make an impression in the hearts of Julietta?
Aizou: Don’t be so calm about it.
Aizou: Anyway, there will be some topics that require you to get through the crisis splendidly?
Yuujirou: Looks like it.
Yuujirou: And so, first up- Aizou’s assigned theme is this.
10:33
Yuujirou: You are a popular idol. Today is the important final day of your LIVE performance. But, oh no! You have to go to the toilet mid-concert. How would you say a cool excuse so you can go to the restroom?
Yuujirou: No, this might actually happen. I think practicing in advance will not hurt.
Aizou: It might not hurt but that’s something we shouldn’t do!
Aizou: Even so, a cool excuse...
Yuujirou: Have you thought of something?
Aizou: Ah, well…I'll give it a try for the time being.
Yuujirou: Well then, Aizou’s lines that will set fire to Julietta’s heart are in 3, 2, 1…if you please.
Aizou: Everyone. I'm really grateful you came to our LIVE today. Today is the finale so I am deeply touched. Wait, that won’t do. The light of your penlights blurs so much and I can’t see clearly at all. I want to properly see everyone’s faces, so please wait a bit, I’ll go get a towel!
Yuujirou: No, that’s too long!
Aizou: Why!? I did my very best!
Yuujirou: Indeed, it is a more of an enthusiastic speech than I imagined, but-
Aizou: Then you try it, Yuujirou! So you'll know how difficult it was for me!
Yuujirou: Uwah, Don't wanna~
Aizou: Don't say you don't want to!
Aizou: And so, Yuujirou’s assigned theme is this.
11:43
Aizou: You made it into the toilet just in time. But, oh no, there's no toilet paper, but just as you thought of that, there is a person in the cubicle next to you. Lucky. So you won't be found out that you are an idol, coolly take the paper.
Yuujirou: But somehow, it’s connected to Aizou’s theme.
Aizou: Seems like it.
Aizou: But this scenario is more likely than the previous one.
Yuujirou: I mean, us and the one in the scenarios are idols, but the situations are all toilet-themed..what’s going on.
Aizou: *nervous laughter* It's alright, I guess…?
Aizou: Are you going to do it soon?
Yuujirou: Uhmm, one way or another...?
Aizou: Okay. Then, Yuujirou’s lines that will set fire to Julietta’s heart are in 3, 2, 1…if you please.
Yuujirou: I- Hanako-san- Will you become my friend? No? Then, in exchange, can you give me the toilet paper?
Aizou: No- Wai- Wait! Wait!
Yuujirou: *laughing* What?
Aizou: Why Hanako-san!? Isn't that the male's restroom!?
Yuujirou: It wasn't mentioned whether the characters are males or not.
Aizou: But even so...in exchange for not being your friend, to give the toilet paper...
Yuujirou: It's fine as long as it’s not found out I'm an idol, right.
Aizou: Well yes, but- exactly where in those lines are supposed to be the ‘cool’ factor....
Yuujirou: Okay~ Here comes the next one!
12:53
Yuujirou: After using the restroom, you are about to go back to the LIVE; but unexpectedly, there is an alien invasion. Please persuade the extraterrestrial beings who want to take you away, in an exceptional manner.
Aizou: The themes are enigmatic stories…and even *SF has appeared.
[T/N: SF = Science Fiction]
Yuujirou: Sure enough, if you want to aim for greater heights as an idol, you cannot take one or two extraterrestrial beings as captives, okay?
Yuujirou: Aizou, do your best~
Aizou: Stop talking nonsense!
Aizou: Well.. But fine, I’ll see what I can do.
Yuujirou: Then, Aizou’s lines that will set fire to Julietta’s heart in 3, 2, 1…if you please.
13:34
Aizou: Of course, your feelings towards me make me happy. I am glad, but there are people waiting for me. Julietta is waiting for me. That’s why, I’m sorry. I can’t reciprocate your feelings. Ah, but if you’d like, you can come see our LIVE. We will show you that we can definitely capture you.
Yuujirou: Like I said, it’s too long!
Aizou: It’s fine even if it’s long!
Yuujirou: But wait, can cosmic beings communicate with us?
Aizou: If you destabilize such a premise, I’ll be helpless!
Yuujirou: Like you know, communicate with a unique dance.
Aizou: Then, I can’t convey it through the radio!
Aizou: Okay, next! The next is the last one!
Aizou: Just as you thought that the aliens returned back somehow, everything that happened before now was actually a dream. You, who are late for school, make a cool excuse to your teacher.
Yuujirou: The unexpected ‘it was all a dream’ ending!
Aizou: Haha, but an excuse for being tardy is your specialty. You can do it, right?
Yuujirou: It’s not like it’s my specialty. And I’m not late! I make sure I am right on time!
Aizou: Oh speaking of, at the beginning of our LIVE of our movie, you were almost late! Honestly, stop hiding somewhere to sleep after our rehearsals! Searching for you is troublesome.
Yuujirou: You don’t have to look for me. But more than that, can I answer now?
Aizou: Make sure to say an impressive line this time.
Aizou: Then, Yuujirou’s lines that will set fire to Julietta’s heart in 3, 2, 1…if you please.
14:50
Yuujirou: I’m sorry! There was a girl who was lost and crying, so I walked with her to the toilet. Although she goes by the name Hanako-san.
Aizou: It’s the unexpected Hanako-san ending!
Yuujirou: This time is seriously impressive, right?
Aizou: Rather than being impressive, it’s half-hearted! Your excuse will definitely be seen through as a lie in no time!
Yuujirou: It might not be a lie, you know!
Aizou: No, is this corner alright? Did it properly set fire to the hearts of Julietta?
Yuujirou: As long as they had fun, isn’t it fine?
15:20
Yuujirou: And so, that was the “Like a kiss, we want to convey these words to you. A corner in which we set fire to the hearts of Julietta!”
Aizou: This program is ending soon, but once again, how did you feel about the film?
Yuujirou: That’s right. How should I put it, it’s been a long time since the film was announced. So somehow, I feel like, “We’ve finally come this far”.
Aizou: True. Before we knew it.
Aizou: Forming a unit, debuting, and being able to stand in a great stage called FILMxLIVE.
Yuujirou: It’s not something you usually experience, right? Once again, I am glad I took the first step when I saw the audition.
Aizou: Right? This is also for every Julietta who is listening. The things you want or would like to do...you may have a lot of dreams you want to realize. If you are lost, for the time being, I want you to take the first step forward. That’s what I think.
Yuujirou: He’s right. And to think that I rarely agree with Aizou.
Aizou: Don’t say rarely.
Yuujirou: But it is true. That time, I took the step forward because I also wanted to change. And now, the things I want to do keep increasing. I’m really happy with who I am presently, and I really feel that I am blessed.
Aizou: Certainly. But isn’t it difficult to continue doing your best? At times like those, it would be great if we could become an existence that can give strength to Julietta.
Yuujirou: You’re right. Aizou already said it in the interview, but when you are exhausted, please give our songs a listen.
Aizou: Hey, when I sang Kono Sekai no Tanoshimikata, I felt a sort of tightness in my chest. I have a feeling that we were singing it more to ourselves instead. So, I hope it encourages everyone who will listen to the song.
Yuujirou: I get that feeling! The song is perfect for this movie, right?
Aizou: Really, as expected of Haniwa-san.
Aizou: Please take care of LIPxLIP from now on and in the future.
Yuujirou: Please treat us well.
17:06
Aizou: We may be like this, but lastly, do you have anything like ‘I want to do something like this!’ in the future?
Yuujirou: Ah, yeah. Through this movie, I really felt that there are actually many people who support us. We also received a lot of power from everyone’s responses, didn’t we? That is why, with that kind of meaning of repaying gratitude, I want to do more things that will make Julietta happy in the future.
Aizou: And in order to do that, we have to ‘power up’! You and I. But first of all, shall we go together for a run tomorrow?
Yuujirou: I don’t want to! When I run with you, I will be smacked on the back and you will definitely provoke me!
Yuujirou: Furthermore, you don’t go easy on me! Show some mercy; that hurts, you know! Do you understand me?
Aizou: What’s with you. It shows I’m cheering for you! Like, “Hey, do you best!”
Yuujirou: Your help is uncalled for. I have my own pace and I will run by myself!
Aizou: Uwah, you’re not cute at all.
Yuujirou: I don’t want Aizou to think of me as cute.
Yuujirou: More than that, lastly, let’s end this with a message to Julietta.
Aizou: Got it.
Aizou: Thank you for listening until now. Watch the film over and over again, okay? I love you, Julietta!
Yuujirou: I look forward to the day that we can meet you again. I love you, Julietta!
Aizou: And that ends it! This is LIPxLIP’s Aizou and-
Yuujirou: Yuujirou!
Both: Bye, bye!!
