Coco’s 2023 Campaign Voice #4 (9/19~10/2)
Greeting to Everyone
Makoto: Hello, welcome to Coco’s! Today the 5 of us will see you off.
Haru: It was a nice summer this time as well. Please make fun memories until the end.
Rin: It’s finally the last spurt! Is there anything you’ve left undone? Follow us until the end!
Sousuke: Rin’s passionate, as usual. We also feel like we dashed through as best we could.
Ikuya: It was tough but it was fun. Everyone who’s come to Coco’s, please take your time today as well.
Haru: Well then, to those who’ve come to Coco’s from us, it’s the Coco’s campaign message.
Obviously I have to do the (assumedly) last one amirite lol
All of these include Haru, Makoto, Rin, Sousuke, and Ikuya, except for Part 2 and 3 where they are split into Rin, Sousuke, & Ikuya, and Haru & Makoto.
The setting is they are getting ready for this Coco’s event. Enjoy!
[Also apologies, these will be text only]
Part 1
Haru: Thanks for gathering here. It’s been decided that we’re going to liven up this summer’s Coco’s again. I’ll be relying on you guys.*
Makoto: Yeah, I look forward to working with you all!* But what exactly should ambassadors do?
Makoto: Eh? Haru, you’re at Coco’s right now?!
Where a surprised Makoto and his friends gathered was a certain Coco’s in Tokyo---
Haru: Coco’s has entrusted me with an important role. We’re going to liven up the summer Coco’s!
In fact, after working part-time, Haruka, who occasionally exchanged opinions on menus (mainly mackerel dishes), was finally appointed as this summer’s Coco’s official ambassador.
Haru: So that’s the story. I want everyone to lend me their strength. I still want to convey the appeal of mackerel...!
(btw i put some scans of the medal pic here. it’s a cheap scanner though, sorry lol)
we’ve had some A+ quality official art recently
💚💙🥹🎉
Makoto Tachibana
Doing What He Himself Can Do Makoto, who realized that supporting the athletes connects to his dream of teaching children the joy of swimming. Beginning with Sousuke who is in rehab, while supporting as a trainer Asahi, Haruka, and the others who are training for the match, he is working towards his dream. On another hand, doing things like wishing that everyone’s support will reach Haruka, who is participating in the world tournament in Sydney, and keeping in contact with Nagisa and Rei in Iwatobi as well, his personality of caring about his friends is the same as ever.
This Fading Blue I had searched like crazy Now, while thinking about those days
What I saw and what I desperately reached out and grabbed onto The place ahead that seemed far away that day, too The roads built by believing become one, And it connects to an additional future
~Memories~
Free As long as I could swim, then it was fine. I don’t care about times, or about winning or losing……
Hero (Ikuya) Haru, did you notice? I’ve been saved by your swimming the whole time. I remember even now, the day I saw your swimming for the first time……
A Sight You’ve Never Seen Before (Rin) Our reunion was “fate.” You think so too, right?……
Forever! (Rei) (Nagisa) Swimming is free and beautiful. The one who taught me that was Haruka-senpai. It’s like a dolphin’s, it’s cool, I love Haru-chan’s swimming!……
Dreams (Makoto) Hey Haru, up until now you’ve* encountered a lot of sights. Seeing you confused, Haru, I was always thinking I want to help you……
In This Place The answer is always in the water. My friends, dream, future, too……
I’m Free. Haruka Nanase
I aim for the goal amidst the calling voices In the water that bares its fangs, in the streamline that I slide into, Unafraid of anything
Timeless Blue (This is translated off of Haru’s, but they’re the same except the lower harmony versions are missing a couple words)
Things that don’t change, things that fulfill us Always with a vivid brilliance
Wow Wow…
Excerpt from Interview with Tatsuhisa Suzuki
[FS2 Spoilers]
(jumping into middle of interview, they’re talking about Makoto & Rin’s relationship)
Interviewer: True, they have slightly different feelings for each other than they do for their other friends.
Tatsuhisa: I think that even within “Free!,” Makoto and Rin’s relationship is a little unique. They’re friends, but it’s not that they’re supporting each other, and it’s not that they compete with each other as rivals; they can exchange words on an even field.
So Makoto and Rin’s relationship is even; what kind of existence do you think Haruka is for Makoto?

Part 11: Sousuke’s Message
Rin: Well then, I’ll read it. Um…ooh, Yamazaki Sousuke. Thanks for coming to Coco’s. I didn’t expect so many different kinds of people to enjoy my food. It was worth making it. Immersing ourselves together in something in one place like this, too; it’s not bad. I have to be grateful to Natsuya-san for inviting me, then. Haru and you guys, are there any events that left an impression on you during work? For me, I unintentionally got fired up during things like food arrangement showdowns and dishwashing showdowns during break time. There were many feelings that I couldn’t experience alone, and it was refreshing. Jeez…that Sousuke, he’s sure enjoying himself, isn’t he?

[FS2 Spoilers]
Interviewer: The yell of “Haru—!” from the cheering section was very touching; if you have any memories from recording, please tell us.

Interviewer: With the relationship of Haruka and Makoto being created up to this point, how do you feel about it?
