Daikagura! Celebratory New Year’s Live | Prologue
Daikagura is a traditional Japanese juggling act, often part of a performance for the gods at a Shinto Shrine.
| index | >> First Sunrise - 1
Location: In front of the school gates
Subaru: Hey there, Anzu!
I said this before during hatsumoude1, but happy things ought to be said many times! Greetings for the happy new year, akemashite omedetou gozaima~su, it’s a sparkly new year ☆2
“Trickstar’s” first sunrise3, Akehoshi Subaru has just arrived! Daikichi is here too ♪
Here, Daikichi, greet Anzu~? After all, you were in her care during hatsumoude, and other times as well
Please take good care of me and Daikichi this coming year, too~ ♪
Yeah! Truth be told~, I actually thought we were still in New Year’s vacation, you know?
When I was taking Daikichi out for a walk, I suddenly remembered that we had school, and rushed to attend!
It’s the first boke4 and the first laugh of the new year, ahahahaha ☆
O-ouch!? Wh, why did you hit me with a harisen5?
It’s the first tsukkomi! You’re on a roll~, aren’t you a little carried away because it’s a new year~? Actually, I guess that’s me, huh~ ahahahaha ☆
You’ll look ugly if you make such a sour expression, like a fukuwarai6! I’m sorry, cheer up!
I’ll give you new year’s money! Here, a five yen coin, in hopes for good relationships this coming year, too~ ☆7
...Eh, you were worried because I took so long to show up? As I said, I had totally forgotten that the semester started today~?
If Daikichi hadn’t pulled the leash towards school, I would have totally not shown up, and continued spending my new year’s lounging about at home!
Thank you Daikichi, I love you~ ♪
….Nn. Yeah, it’s all right, it’s all right. Don’t make that sort of face~, smile, smile
You really were worried about me, weren’t you, Anzu. I’m sorry, I’m the one at fault
Truthfully, I was a little anxious
You know how we entered the year-end “SS” as Yumenosaki’s representatives. Our fame and reputation has increased dramatically since then
I’d hate it if the way people treated us changed dramatically because of that~ ... that’s what I was thinking
I imagined all sorts of bad things, and that caused my feet to distance themselves from school
I was taking a walk around in circles and circles, without going home. What in the world am I doing, at the start of the new year~…. I know, it’s a little pathetic
But. Daikichi pulled me all the way here, so I’ll resolve myself and head to the classroom
I’m not alone anymore, so there shouldn’t be anything to be scared of
Ahaha. I was a little relieved when I saw you, Anzu, standing in front of the school gates, crossing your arms with a really terrifying demon-expression on your face, like, “it’s not setsubun8 yet!”
There are people waiting for me. Anzu, Hokke~, Ukki~, Sari~...
Everyone will accept me with the same attitude as usual
I’m sure everyone will greet me with a smile
I’ll believe in that, and greet everyone with the greatest sparkling smile!
Hap-py, New Yeaaaaaar…. ☆
Location: Hallway
Hokuto: You’re late, Akehoshi
Subaru: O-ouch!? Ugh, now Hokke~ is hitting me too! I oppose violence!
I’m not mochi, you know, how long do you intend to stay in a New Year’s mood? Pull yourself together, partner….!
Makoto: The year has just begun, and you’re so hyped, Akehoshi-kun… My night and day have kind of been inverted, so I’m really sleepy right now… Fuaa, afu ♪
Subaru: That’s okay, Ukki~! Regardless of whether you’re awake or asleep, Ukki~’s abilities don’t change that drastically ☆
Makoto: Eh, what does that mean? My mind isn’t functioning properly right now, so I won’t understand you if you say difficult things, but I feel unnecessarily hurt…!?
Fufufu ♪ As expected of Akehoshi-kun, even in the new year you’re as sharp as usual!
Hokuto: Don’t make such a ruckus as we walk, idiot duo. You’re embarrassing…
Ahh, but I’ve missed this kind of thing. I’m a little disgusted at myself for feeling so relaxed in this high-spirited atmosphere, but
Well, I guess that’s fine. Anzu, good for you for bringing Akehoshi here. Now I’ve been able to check our entire class’s attendance
My first9 job as the class representative has now been safely completed
Subaru: But Hokke~, why is everyone walking down the hallway together?
I ran into you all while heading to the classroom and was surprised; what is this, an evacuation drill?
Hokuto: No, there’s going to be a school-wide assembly. That’s why everyone in the class is headed towards the gymnasium together
While we’re at it, you guys should join us too
Subaru: Ah~, right, those sorts of things exist. This is a school after all, yes, yes
Hokuto: Why are you saying this now… We have school-wide assemblies at the start of every semester
If the students in all the departments assemble together at once, they won’t fit in the gymnasium, so different departments meet at different times
So, to be precise, it’s not a “school-wide” assembly. I didn’t expect myself to explain something so basic in the winter of our second year
Subaru: Nn~, I always skip those sorts of things that are just plain bothersome~….
Ah, this is unrelated, but can I go leave my bag in the classroom? It’s a little in the way!
Hokuto: Hm. The bag is in the way, but that dog, too… you should take Daikichi-kun home or keep him tied someplace
Subaru: Eh~, doesn’t he look like a stuffed animal? I’ll insist that he’s a peculiar kind of cold protection good, or a cutting edge type of fashion? Can’t I?
Hokuto: No. Bringing pets to school is really against school rules
We are on the anti-establishment side, but if we unnecessarily disturb the peace, that will make us mere traitors
Subaru: Muh…. I guess it can’t be helped. It seems like this is where we part, Daikichi. You’ve taken good care of me. Can you get home on your own? No?
Hokuto: The owner ought to take responsibility and take him home....
So long as you promise not to disappear after that, I’ll cover for you by explaining to the teachers if you’re a little late
Also, I’ve locked up the classroom, so if you’re going to leave your bag there, borrow the key from the faculty room
Subaru: That’s alright~, because I’ll go with Anzu! You have the master key, right? Or you could also just lend me the key?
...Yeah. Then, let’s go, let’s go ☆ I’m sorry for causing you trouble at the start of the new year~, but this is your job, right, “Producer” ♪
Ahaha! Yes, please take care of us this year too… ♪

1. The first Shinto shrine visit during the Japanese new year
2. Subaru says happy new year's twice here; 謹賀新年 (kinga shinnen) and akemashite omedetou gozaimasu
3. Hatsuhi no de = the first sunrise of the new year
4. The "idiot" of a manzai comedy routine
5. A giant paper fan often used as a slapstick prop in aforementioned comedy routine
6. A game traditionally played at Japanese new year’s parties in which blindfolded participants place features on a blank face
7. A play on words. Five yen coin = go en, which is also a phrase for (good) bonds
8. The day before the beginning of Spring in Japan
9. First job [of the new year], same idea as first "boke" of the new year that Subaru mentions earlier
