Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy these wonderful shorts as much as we did working on them.

Next will be working on the long Okinawa short (it's as long as Ensemble Contest if you're aware of how long that was), so this will take some time, but the year 3 shorts will be done soon.
In the meanwhile, our colleagues will help translate the shorts from the 10th anniversary drama CD.

And our last short is a short focusing on the advisers to the Kitauji band enjoying a celebratory meal after Nationals Gold.
This brought tears to our translator while writing it, so please embrace yours as you read about the adult appetizers.

Next is another of the shorts telling Kanade's perspective from Kumiko's final year. Here we see her confront Mayu after the performance at Nationals AND a flashback to the soli announcement.
Can Kanade finally get a W at last?

And we're not only looking back at Kumiko's first year!
Here, we take a look at a really emotional meeting between Motomu and his friend from Ryuusei, Higuchi, at Kitauji's cultural festival this year!

The first year shorts will be compiled into an epub at a later date, so please look forward to that. Today's emphasis was translations, not epubs (sorry!)

Our final first year short was adapted into the very beginning of the "Our Promise" film, but has a lot behind it. While this does establish Kumiko and Shuichi's romance, please pay attention to how adorable Riko and Gotou are! They're such a cute couple!

While the #anime_eupho anime added some original content in season 2, ep 11 with Reina discovering about Taki's past, her meeting with Noboru Taki actually started when she was younger in the novels. See how the two of them met via her father from this short!

Next, season 2, episode 13 showed the first meeting of Yuuko and Natsuki as band president/vice-president, but how did that go over in the written version?
Here we take a look at it from the perspective of Gotou, our favorite Tuba-senpai!

First, you may have seen Kitauji's Cultural Festival in season 2, episode 6 of the anime, but there were a few differences between it and the novels. See how Kumiko and Shuichi came to go to Reina's haunted house here!

So 6 shorts ready to go! We all hope you enjoy reading these as they're delightful little carryovers until the next novel comes out.
And we'll update you to let you know that the first chapter of "Watching As You Fly Away" has been translated. Chapter 2 is in progress now. Look forward to it!

And while it's the last one today, it's simply an intermission. What did Kanade think during the training camp of her second year when Mayu was chosen to play the soli at Kansai? This is the novel version of her finding out what type of person Mayu really is.

We saw the four of them join the band in Kumiko's third year, so how did the new Minami Quartet become friends and go to Kitauji in the first place? Find out in "The Four of Us are Childhood Friends" teamoumae.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/e...

After that, why not have a pleasant lunchtime with the rare trio of Sapphire, Reina, and Mayu?

After that, we really need something light, so why not figure out if someone's really interested in Shuichi's friend Chikao?

Next is a tear-breaker called "The Day You Weren't There" during the year before Kumiko's first year. I think you can guess who's perspective this is from. A must-read for all Eupho fans.

It's a pleasure to be with everyone again and we can't wait to share more of Kumiko and Ayano Takeda's wonderful stories with everyone.
Have a wonderful evening, day, afternoon, or night depending where you are!

After we finish the short stories for her third year, we'll venture into the side stories for Natsuki, "Looking as you Fly Away", and Azusa, "Welcome to the Rikka High School Marching Band!" before finishing Kumiko's first year.
