Birthday Quote

thank you so much for the [birthday wishes]. everyone’s [smiles] are the best [present] i could have…♪

Before the Birthday Live Stream

um, anzu-san. if chiaki and the rest of ryuseitai are ever [acting] strangely, please do not pay mind to it.

for example, even if you see them carry a wrapped [box], or make a pile of decorative [origami], please pretend you did not see anything, okay?

fufu. isn’t it almost like they are [preparing] for a [birthday party]?

but i was not told anything about it. so it is [courtesy] to pretend i do not know anything.

right then, i will end the [talk] about chiaki and the other members here. it is time to start the [live stream]…♪

Birthday Live Stream Start

Transform! Birthday live stream with @shinkai_Ryusei, start!1

Let’s send Nice!’s to Kanata and enjoy the live stream!2

hello~ thank you so much for coming to my [live stream]…♪

the [stream] has only just started, but there is already so many [comments]…♪

let’s see. there are [comments] wanting to learn about "puka puka", and there are comments wanting to hear [stories] i have had with ryuseitai~

these are all such wonderful [comments]. there are so many, that the [stream] might come to an [end] if i keep reading them.

but that would simply be a waste, so how about we move to the next [segment]…♪

During the Birthday Live Stream 1

"I’d love a chance to take a screenshot."

fufu. i am so glad to hear i managed to answer your [request] for a chance to take screenshots~

this reminds me. i wonder when [screenshotting culture] started spreading? maybe i should ask someone like midori about it next time…♪

let’s see. "your [smile] was so cute just now, so i would like to take a [video] next time"?

that is fine with me. once you have [prepared] the [filming], please tell me, okay~?

During the Birthday Live Stream 2

"I’d like to be cheered on with a ‘you can do it!’"

hm, hm. the next [request] is, "i’d like to be cheered on with a ‘you can do it!’", i see~

okay. then here i go…♪

you can do it~ you can do it~ how is that?

fufu. i am so [relieved] to know you enjoyed it. but, you should not work hard beyond your [heart’s limit], okay?

while it is [wonderful] of you to [do your best], you will only collapse if you work too hard.

before that happens, please call for ryuseitai’s [name].

we are heroes, so we will come to your [aid] in times of [need]…♪

Q&A Time

Note: Before the idol’s birthday, Enstars official twitter opened a form to gather questions for the birthday idol, and IRL fans could send in one question per idol (Seen here). The following questions were selected from that form.

i received so many [comments]~ fufu, i am such a fortunate person~♪

ah, that’s right. afterwards, i will be answering all the [questions] you sent alongside your [birthday wishes]…♪

Have you been puka puka-ing lately?

there are very few places i can [puka puka] here, so… i have been holding it out through the [room’s shower].3

but everyone in ryuseitai told me that i can use the [shower] as much as i want, so it is no problem.

if they were not here with me, i would have dried up. i have to show my [gratitude], don’t i?

What’s your favorite bath powder scent?

i have a favorite [scent], but if i [smelled] of [fish], it may startle midori and the others~

fufu. in that case, i will have to go with [sea scent].

it would be so wonderful if i could enter the [bathtub] and feel as though the [sea] is near to me.

If you go to a conveyor belt sushi place, how many plates do you eat?

please wait a moment. a while back, i think i ate [mackerel], [sea bream]… and [tuna], too.

it was [seven plates] in total. but, chiaki also shared with me plates of [sushi].

so i might have eaten [ten plates]~♪

Birthday Story Directory

Translation Notes

  1. All idols have unique account usernames. Ryuseitai share a similar username pattern, "(Last name)_Ryusei", but only Kanata has his last name in lowercase. Ryusei means “meteor/shooting star”.
  2. Fun fact, Kanata is matching face stickers with Shinobu. Shinobu mentions this in his 2025 birthday story; he went with the same heart design as Kanata.
  3. Kanata’s talking about the Mega Sphere. In the room that Ryuseitai live in together, there’s only a shower in the bathroom.
