[9/7 Flame Rises in Osaka (Day 2) Kazuha's Letter (English Translation)]
"I'm home, Osaka. And, to once again let myself grow and shine even brighter, I'm off."
「ただいま、大阪。そして、また一つ成長して、もっと輝いた自分になるために、行ってきます!」
When Zuha cried it was when she was about to thank her parents for always believing in her. Not sure who in the fimmies but someone whispered, "shinjirarenai (i can't believe it)" when zuha cried 🥹🥹
No, 'cause Irene literally made breakfast for Yeri on school days, sometimes hiding eggs inside fried rice just to "make it more fun" for Yeri. Sometimes irons Yeri's uniform too. I won't be surprised if she got suddenly reminded of those days while looking at Manchae. 🥹

🌸 Are they here?
🐯 🤫
🌸 Woah
🗣️ LSRFM's Sakura-san and Chaewon-san visited the (filming) set in secret. On the other hand, Kinami-san (💃) and Meru-san (👩) were told they'd be doing a PR interview and were on standby in the studio.
🌸 I was wearing a dress with no sleeves and during a standby period at an awards show, it was so cold, so I borrowed the train of Kazuha's dress to keep myself warm.
😎 It was that cold?
🌸 It was really cold.

During No Return, iirc right before the first chorus, instead of spreading out like usual, they stuck together with zuha in the middle, side hugging each other. 🥹
[Anan No. 2361) LE SSERAFIM Translation 🧵]
Might TL a page a day or smth. We'll see. Not sure if I have the energy to actually put the TLs on the pages or if I'll just have this one as a cover. (OG page on the left)
PS: whose idea was it to use hot pink as a font color?!
Some signboards shown today said,
"Next is Fukuoka!" (Sakura's hometown)
"I came from Oita!" Oita is beside Fukuoka Prefecture.
Let's make the 5-Dome tour a reality so the fimmies can go to Fukuoka, Sapporo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo! 🥺🥹
If they're keeping the order and not cutting anything, this should be the order (might have some small inaccuracies since i was under the weather that day so i'm half-watching half-trying to be pain-free djsjsjssj)

Tried to put the translation on the actual page, but the space is just not big enough. Good night!
I swear to god if we don't at the very least get a digest footage of the japan tour with this in it, i'm gonna be so mad 'coz i wanted to tattoo this whole encore on my forehead
The fimmies made tonight's exit extra special. When they went back to main stage to the area where the stage door closes, they were about say goodbye but then they ran back out holding hands and did another round of "ole, ole, ole" before actually leaving. 🥹🥹
🐯 1, 2~
🪽 Good evening, we're LE SSERAFIM.

🐯 When I heard that MAMA will be held at Tokyo Dome, I was very surprised.
🌸 This is actually the first time we'll be performing at Tokyo Dome, so I'm very excited.
+
Also they kept saying things that feel like little comedy routines all throughout the con lmao. The audience was also funny following zuha in saying "aru toki, nai toki" instead of "good, good" when doing Zuha's gestures. XD it's from an osakan/kansai cm of a nikuman.
Forgot to post these yesterday but there was a car showing le sserafim MVs near osaka-jō hall/osaka castle. (First video is a vid i tool before the con, second was right after the con)
There was also an Unforgiven truck roaming around the area.

🥹
Today, too, everyone's final ments hit like a truck. Eunchae even mentioned how it's almost 500 days since they debuted. She didn't cry but I could tell she was trying her best not too 'coz her voice was shaking a little during her speech. 🥺

※Might contain minor inaccuracies. Sorry for any grammatical errors/typos as well.
The struggle to translate 器の大きな人 was real.
🐍 We had a rehearsal a few days ago and the venue was so big so I was really surprised.
🗣️ How about you, Kazuha-san?
🦢 (Performing in) Tokyo Dome is a big goal of ours, so being able to stand here truly feels like a dream.
(Only the weverse part. OP suddenly remembered what they wanted to ask)
😇 Ah! About the weverse (comments) earlier! Between Zuha and Eunchae, who was telling the truth?

I'm late but! ⇓
Q: What do you want to ask Fearnots?
🌸 What's your favorite song in the Unforgiven album?

(Kkura djsjsjsj 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
+
Q: What's an unexpected side of her?
🦢 She likes "shibui" food, like umeboshi and snacks like that. It's unexpected in a "Someone this pretty likes this food!?" type of way.
(Photo attached for additional explanation.)
The next two quoted tweets (shiro exchange not included) pretty much covers it, with ado asking first if they like staying home or going out and 🌸 replying they like staying home.
(At the end, ado mentions hokkaido's potatoes are good and 🐈⬛ reacts)
- 🌸 said they pretty much like to stay inside
- 🐯 said that during days off she likes to go home to shiro. ado mentioned shiro's name before she could so she was surprised ado knows about shiro. ado said she saw the clip where shiro took her hair curler

🌸 Fearnots, Rock-Paper-Scissors! Here I go, jankenpon 🖐️ !

Your snide remarks,

Wish we got a longer snippet without the overlapping commentary so I could pick up the words. 😅
[8/31 Flame Rises in Tokyo Day 2]
Yunjin Final Ment
Posting Yunjin's now in celebration of her 7M followers. ^^ I will post the other members' ments in this thread as I finish them (might take me a few days as I'm flying to Osaka tmrw).
※ Photo is from Day 1, I think.
- 🌸 said they pretty much like to stay inside
- 🐯 said that during days off she likes to go home to shiro. ado mentioned shiro's name before she could so she was surprised ado knows about shiro. ado said she saw the clip where shiro took her hair curler
🦢 Yes. I was thinking that the train of my dress was really long and I was trying to be careful so it won't get dirty, but thanks to that (Kkura borrowing the train of her dress), I was able to move (to the next area, most likely) without sullying it.
[The questions are about Chaewon]
Q: What's something she always does in the morning?
SKR: She always wears a hat.
Q: What can one do to cheer her up?
YJ: She’ll cheer up if you give her something delicious.
(Questions are about 🐍)
Q: When she's in a good mood, what can one do to make her feel even better?
🐯 Reacting and feeling happy alongside her.
Q: What summer items are her must-haves?
🌸 Clothes like camisoles and tank tops. I think she dresses (more) casually during summer.
I really need all companies to treat their artists (and all employees!!!!) /at least/ decently. Health is always a valid reason to take a break... and that's the bare minimum. Overworking is so normalized that sometimes the artists/employees themselves don't realize it.
Q: What have you recently dreamt about?
🐍 A dream where the manager gave me a cold shoulder. 😆
Q: What do you do when you can't sleep?
🐍 I listen to music.
Q: How do you pass the time in airplanes?
🐍 I either sleep or or listen to music.
Q: It starts raining on your day off. What do you do to pass time?
🌸 Play games at home.
Q: What's a place in Korea that you want to recommend to Fearnots?
🌸 For me, I like Hangang (Han River) the best.
