Pre-Final Voice Trailer: GokuLuck Recap

Yuto: I'm Inukai Yuto from GokuLuck! All of us in GokuLuck are participating in this competition under the supervision of a proposed governmental music composition program, and are aiming to address the issues of prejudice and descrimination in the world. Our members include: Tosa Ryoga-kun, a very enthusiastic rapper; Kaida Shion-kun, whose speciaclty is his smooth flow; and Mikoshiba Kenta-kun, who is very good at rapid-fire bars, and--
Kenta: And the soulful stylings of a prison guard!
Yuto: M-my apologies...! See, it's just that all of the members have somewhat forceful personalities, you might say... but, their enthusiasm for music is wonderful! First up, our showing in the RAGE round was very impressive, wasn't it? We happened to bump into Akan Yatsura, but for me, it was lovely to have a chance to see Gaho-kun, since he's a former colleague of mine. It seemed as though Tosa-kun already knew GAIA-kun from Akan Yatsura, as well! I'd love to have the chance to get to know them better.
Ryoga: Mind your own damn business!
Yuto: M-my apologies... As for the battle itself, though, unfortunately, we lost. I guess that goes to show the difference in experience. But even so, thanks to all of the support that the heads showed us, it was a remarkably close match! Then after that came the consolation round, and we had to be on our guards, because if we lost this one then we'd be completely out of the tournament.
Shion: It's always more thrilling when there's a risk involved, right?
Yuto: K-Kaida-kun...! ... between VISTY, AMPRULE, and 1Nm8, all three of the teams we were going up against were very talented, so I was nervous about what might happen. I was worried that if we lost here, we might not be able to convey our thoughts to the world, so we went back to first principles and came up with a song together. I'd like to think that the bond between our members grew a bit stronger. And in the end, we pulled through and we won the round! This is all thanks to the heads who have supported us, and--
Kenta: Blah-blah-blah-blah, I can't listen to this shit any more, shut the fuck up, you useless piece of--!
Ryoga: Oi!
Kenta: Ha?
Shion: Looks like you've gone and done it, Shibaken.
Yuto: ... [laughs] Oi, Mikoshiba. You'll face consequences for that later. GokuLuck are going to be the winners. Get your affairs in order[1]. The hunt is on.

[1] Literally what he says is "wash your neck and wait", which means to get prepared. This is the kind of line you throw off before a fight, and probably comes from samurai getting ready to commit seppuku, so it has the connotation of telling someone to get ready to die. I don't know if there's a good equivalent, so I tried to convey the roundabout way of saying 'prepare to die'.
