Shining Agency Office Organization Chart, Part 2

All of the translations linked here are my own work. Please DO NOT re-post or screenshot my work without permission.



The Office Organization Chart is a diagram of the relationships between characters. There is also a brief explanation of relationships outside of musical activities, such as in the classroom, in their private lives, and in television programs.

This chart can be found on pages 148 and 149 of the 5th Anniversary Book.



Saotome Academy Era: Rivalry between classes!


This is the group who spent time together at Saotome Academy.  There were many occasions of exchanges, as roommates as well as a water polo showdown between A Class and S Class.* This is also the same academy from which Ringo, Ryuya, and Reiji graduated.





Private: Cultivating a link through private life


There are also many situations in which the idols spend time together in their private lives. Understanding each other in this way might lead to cooperation on the side of work.





Co-stars: Liven up programs through knowledge and discussions


The idols are not just involved in music activities, but participate in various programs as well. Recently they’ve been in programs not just as guests but are hosts of their own programs as well! In the future as well the attention will stay on these idols, who entertain home audiences in the living room with unique content while in common genres such as travel and variety shows.





Translator's Notes


I think the most interesting thing I learned is that Ren plays online games! Also notice how Ai doesn't seem to be in any variety shows, and Cecil seems to be in two. I questioned whether this was a printing error and that Ai should be paired with Camus in the quiz show, but I'm not really sure. It wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't on television because in the games he's introduced as being mysterious and only releasing songs digitally instead of in CD form.

*In all routes of Uta no Prince-sama: Repeat (except Cecil's), there is a summer showdown in the pool between the A class boys and the S class boys. The team that loses has to dress up as girls.
