[ES!! Era Year 2] 2025 Kanata Shinkai Birthday
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]…♪
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?
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.
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
- ↑ 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”.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Kanata’s talking about the Mega Sphere. In the room that Ryuseitai live in together, there’s only a shower in the bathroom.
