Radio DJ: では、今週はこの曲からお送りします。「機動戦士ガンダムAGE」エンディングテーマ。栗林みな実で「君の中の英雄」。

零れ落ちた涙が
今日も星になり、静かに見守っている
次の時代へ受け継がれていく
宇宙（そら）をそっと抱きしめた
終わらない痛みの奥で
動き出す儚い希望は
往くべき道を、示し導いている

koboreochita namida ga
kyou mo hoshi ni nari shizukani mimamotteiru
tsugi no jidai e ukenagareteiku
sora wo sotto dakishimeta
owaranai itami no oku de
ugokidasu hakanai kibou wa
yuku beki michi wo shimeshi michibiiteiru

the tears I’ve spilt
become stars today, quietly watching over,
inherited by the next generation
gently embracing the sky
in the depths of this never-ending pain
is a fleeting wish to be alive
guiding me down the path I should take

君の中の英雄が
未来の君を目覚めさせる

kimi no naka no eiyuu ga
mirai no kimi wo mezamesaseru

the hero within you
awakens the future you

壊して、生まれ
生まれては、また還る

kowashite umare
umarete wa mata kaeru

destroyed and born
to be born is to return again

進化をして、繰り返し、変わってゆくよ
恐れないで

shinka wo shite kurikaeshi kawatte yuku yo
osorenai de

evolving, repeating, changing
don’t be afraid

光失っても、想い繋げる
この笑顔に、逢える日まで

hikari ushinatte mo omoitsugeru
kono egao ni aeru hi made

even if I lose the light, I’ll hold fast to my heart
this smiling face until the day we meet

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM AGE TREASURE STAR

STORY

Daiki is lead to meet the mobile suit Gundam by words left behind by his father: “grand wings”. So he sets off on an adventure into the great unknown of outer space.

CHARACTERS

Daiki Ryuuzaki: Main character who yearns for adventure in outer space. He pilots the Gundam AGE-1 left behind by his father to fend off the invading UE in the colony he lives in. With that passion he’ll lose to no one.

Daiki’s Father: A mobile suit pilot who once operated and developed the Gundam AGE-1. Sixi years prior, he went missing during a battle with the invading UE, leaving behind the Gundam AGE-1.

Sirius: He’s the leader of the space caravan “Treasure Star” sharing in the adventures with Daiki. He has a love for curry.

Kotetsu: Member of the Treasure Star. A friend of Sirius who has his eye on becoming the best chef in outer space.

Lhuga: Member of the Treasure Star. LOVES money?! A remarkable mobile suit pilot.

Flit Asuno: You all know who he is by now.

MECHA

Gundam AGE-1 Daiki Version: A mobile suit developed so that Daiki’s father could galavant around in outer space with his former collegues. Only Daiki has the ability to activate it. While the outward appearance of the suit is identical to that of the original, just exactly what it’s abilities are is not clearly known.

Unknown Enemy: An enemy of unknown origins that attacked Daiki’s colony. A menace to space adventurers.

Treasure Star: A super-high-speed mobile ship that the caravan members live on. Because it boasts of a high level of speed in outer space, the inside is all cluttered up because its members do whatever they please.

MISCELLANEOUS

Grand Wings: A legendary treasure that sleeps somewhere in outer space.

Deacky’s Notation: Sounds interesting and all, but I don’t feel like buying YET ANOTHER manga magazine just to have another project. I’ll wait for the compilation version.

In the latest issue of Gundam Ace, there is a full page spread tantalizing fans with yet another project from Yuuichi Hasegawa (of Crossbone Gundam fame). It reads as follows:

長谷川裕一
新ガンダム漫画
ガンダムエースにて始動!! （予定）

Translation:

Yuuichi Hasegawa
New Gundam Manga
Beginning in Gundam Ace!! (Planned)

To back this up, a Twitter post by “Keppel Club” (a fansite that apparently interacts with the artist and/or has chatted with him) reveals that the title of the new series is Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam Ghost. Details will be forthcoming in subsequent issues of Gundam Ace.

■ STRANGE LOOKING NEW UE “ZEDAS” AND THE NEW MOBILE SUIT “DESPERADO”

September Issue of Corocoro

Appearance of the most frightening enemy (historically) in Gundam is the most strongest. Fear of the high mobility shown before us! It’s dreadful mobility draws near! The high speed UE that leads the Gafran comes flying in! Zedas attacks!

The Desperado isn’t a combat use mobile suit bur rather a hybrid mobile suit used for industrial use.
