[ES!! Era Year 2] 2025 Midori Takamine Birthday
Birthday Quote
I’m so happy to have my birthday celebrated by you, Producer-san. I’ll do my best this year too, so please watch over me, okay?
Before the Birthday Live Stream
Anzu-san, you met with Morisawa-senpai on your way here? And then he gave you a message for me…?
Um… "Do your best out there, Takamine! I’ll be watching the live stream with everyone!"… So that guy was being serious.
Also, could you not get way more excited than the birthday person in question…
Ah—! I’m so sorry for suddenly complaining…
The truth is, yesterday, Morisawa-senpai said that he’ll watch my stream with everyone. It would’ve been fine if it was just that, but…
Kiryu-senpai and Hakaze-senpai happened to be nearby at the time, and he invited even them, along with others too… And before I knew it, it turned into a huge group of people set to watch my live stream.
But well, that being said, I’m still grateful that he’s being thoughtful, and that he wants to celebrate my birthday…1
Birthday Live Stream Start
Transform! Birthday live stream with @Takamine_Ryusei, start!2
Let’s send Nice!’s to Midori and enjoy the live stream!
It’s time, so let’s start the Q&A segment.
Ah—But before that, could I have a bit of your time…?
Thank you. Erm, here goes…
"The green flame is the mark of compassion!"
"The great nature, growing infinitely! Ryusei Green, Takamine Midori…!"
There were lots of comments saying they wanted to hear my catchphrase, so I tried saying it, but… How was it…?
Whew, I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it. I won’t just be answering questions, but requests like this one too, so… I hope you enjoy until the very end…♪
During the Birthday Live Stream 1
"I want to hear more stories from Midori-kun."
Right, I’ll do the next request now. Erm, "I want to hear more stories from Midori-kun"?
I’m really bad at talking, actually… So I didn’t expect to get a request like this…
But, hmm… What should I talk about? This is tough, now that I’m being asked, I can’t think of a topic to talk about…
And I’ve already talked about memories with everyone in Ryuseitai at the start of the stream…
Oh, I know! I have just the perfect story to talk about. Master Artist Fushimi’s going to draw me a new illustration…!
I don’t know when it’ll be, but… Fufu, I really can’t wait~♪
During the Birthday Live Stream 2
"Thank you for the greatest time ever!"
Right… This seems fine enough now, so how about we stop the screenshotting time here…?
Erm, thank you for all the requests. You all commented the poses and expressions you wanted to see, and it made it easier for me to do the work…♪
"Thank you for the greatest time ever!"… That feels like what I wanted to say… But, I’m happy to know you all enjoyed it.
Oh, I know. If someone missed their chance to take a screenshot, please send a request. I’m not the type who enjoys having their photos taken, but… I still want to respond to your feelings as much as possible.
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.
Erm, it’s time, so I’ll start the Q&A segment. I’ll do my best to answer your questions, so I hope you listen until the end…♪
Oh yeah, this reminds me. I thought I’d get questions about vegetables and yuruchara, but… I was surprised to see a lot of questions about topics I didn’t expect at all.
Mm~ You have to get a good amount of sleep, I think…? And I heard that it’s good to eat food with protein, too…
They all sound like urban legends, but… If anything, I’d also love to know a way to control your own height.
And if I could do my best to avoid those methods, then I may not grow any taller. Measuring my height won’t make me depressed anymore, either…
Erm, sorry if I got this wrong, but… Are you asking if I’m planning to do a hand-stand in my live stream…?
Ah—I’m not against it or anything…! It’s just that it might get cut off by the camera angle…
But I’d feel bad for the person who requested it, so… Um, how about I show my hand-stand on another occasion?
Huh, essay…?3 I haven’t planned on writing an essay anytime soon, but is there a rumor about that or something…?
I could understand if it was about Tenshouin-senpai writing an essay… Like, that’d just make perfect sense, even.
Still, you never know what life’s got in store for you, so… If even someone like me is going to continue being an idol, there could be a possibility I will someday.

Even your suffocating birthday wishes make me happy for today, maybe…
These are all my feelings of celebrating your day, Takamine.
I feel like this year’s going to be a good one.
i am sure that hunch is right on the mark~

Translation Notes
- ↑ Chiaki has done something in a similar vein on Midori’s birthday back in ES!! Era Year 1; he prepared a video with Ryuseitai to surprise Midori on his birthday. It’s shown in the surprise segment of Midori’s 2021 birthday story, and mentioned in Chiaki’s 2021 birthday mini talk.
- ↑ All idols have unique account usernames that differ from each other. Ryusei means “meteor/shooting star”.
