We're kicking off our drama track translations today with the first track from Buster Bros!!! Generation! You can actually listen to this one in its entirety on the official Youtube channel if you don't have the album:

Ichiro (1): "Man, what's with all the racket? I'm trying to read the latest volume of this light novel I've been looking forward to here."

Jiro (2): "Ichiro, are you really forming a new crew? Let me join!"
Saburo (3): "Ichiro, I'm sorry for bothering you while you're reading, but if you let a dumbass like Jiro join your crew, he'll just damage your reputation!"

3: "So that's why you should let me join! If you let me join, I'd help grow your reputation even more!"
2: "Who're you callin' a dumbass, Saburo?! Why don't you try sayin' that again!"

2: "Wanna take this outside, you little shitbag?! I'll do Ichiro a favor and straighten out that demented little personality of yours for him!"
3: "Haa, what a pain."

3: "Ichiro, if you'll excuse me, I need a moment to teach this overgrown dumbass just how stupid he is."
1: "Oh would you two shut up already? How many times do I have to tell you, you're family so you should act like it."

1: "Plus, I'm not interested in teaming up with you guys."
2&3: "Whaa?! Why?!"
1: "Hypnosis Mic battles aren't as easy as you guys think."
2: "If I..."
3" "But..."
[Phone rings]
1: "Ugh, I gotta take this so just be quiet for a sec."

1: "Hello."
1: "Oh, Ramuda, I haven't heard that voice for ages. How's it hangin'?"
1: "Haha, figured as much. So? What'cha need?"

2: "As if a middle school brat like you could ever back up Ichiro. He totally just turned us down like that because you're here. 'cause he's such a nice guy, he's just tryin' to let you down easy."

3: "What a joke! You're actually so stupid I literally don't have the words. Ichiro *is* just that nice, so he probably said no out of concern for your incompetent dumb ass."
1: "Got it. Talk to you later."
[Ichiro hangs up]

1: "I like how you two start fighting right after I told you to knock it off. Listen to me for once, would ya?"
2: "B-But Ichiro..."
3: "I-Ichiro, I was just..."

1: "Jiro, Saburo, I don't ever wanna hear weak-ass excuses like that spouting from your mouths."
1: "Plus, you..."
[Phone rings again]

1: "Ugh... Hello?"
1: (I guess this is the day everyone comes out of the woodwork to call me, huh?)
1: "Oh! No, nothing, I was just talking to myself."
1: "I haven't heard from you in ages, Mr. Jakurai. What's up?"
1: "Yes."

3: "You know, it's your fault Ichiro yelled at us."
1: "Uh-huh."
3: "You should apologize to me."
2: "Why do I gotta be the one to apologize? You should be doin' the apologizin', Saburo!"

3: "Could you try keeping it down? Ichiro's on the phone."
3: "Idiots are absolutely impossible to deal with because they just start yowling at the drop of a hat."

2: "You sure like writin' checks with that mouth of yours. I really hope your ass is prepared to cash 'em!"
3: "Hah! That sounds like a line right out of a crappy C-movie, I can hardly contain my laughter!"

2: "I'll beat your goddamn face in!"
3: "I'd like to see you try!"
1: "Knock it off already!"
2: "O-Ouch, that hurt."
3: "Uuh, that was mean."

1: "So you wanna team up with me that bad, huh?"
2&3: "Of course!"
1: "Alright, then I've got a test for you."
2&3: "We'll do anything!"
1: "Good. I'm gonna let you two handle the two jobs that just came in."

3: "What kind of jobs are they?"
2: "See, this is why you'll always be a dumb kid, Saburo. Ichiro's word is law. Don't ask questions, just do what he tells you and that's it, no problemo."

1: "Jiro, shut up. I'm glad you trust me, but what'd I tell you about blind devotion?"
2: "Oh, uh, right, sorry, Ichiro."
3: "Ahahaha! You're such a stupid moron! You got yelled at!"

1: "Saburo! You behave too. How many times do I gotta tell you to respect your brother?"
3: "S-Sorry, Ichiro."
1: "Haa... The jobs I've got for you are from Ramuda Amemura and Jakurai Jinguji. We used to rap together."

2&3: "You mean in The Dirty Dawg?!"
1: "The one and only."

1: "Jiro, the job I want you to do is for Mr. Jakurai. An acquaintance of his is being harassed by a stalker. He wants us to find out where she's hiding."
1: "Here are the documents he sent over. Use these as a starting point."

2: "Okay! I got it, bro!"
1: "I'm counting on you."

1: "And Saburo, for you I have a job from Ramuda. He seems to want information on a Gentaro Yumeno."
1: "Here's the background on that."
3: "Oh, leave it to me, Ichiro! I'll be sure to make you proud!"
1: "Haha, I'm sure you will."

1: "Jobs from those two can't be easy. I'm sure they'll be back in no time, crying because they couldn't do it. And hopefully they'll lay off about joining me."

And that's where we'll be leaving off for today. Check back tomorrow for the second half!
