Tamagotchi Collab Login Story Prologue

Posted on Edited on In , ,

Tamagotchi was a surprisingly nostalgic part of my childhood so I was pretty happy that this collab came to Project Sekai haha

A lot of notes here on some of the little tics for some characters (particularly for Kuchipatchi and Mimitchi), and also to add some extra Tamagotchi context for those who may not be familiar with what’s going on in there

Title: Prologue
Characters: Miku (Original), Mametchi, Memetchi (Flashback), Mimitchi (Flashback), Kuchipatchi (Flashback)

Gap Between Sekai

*Mametchi arrives*

???
-Wow! What a beautiful song!
Miku
Huh?

Mametchi appears

Miku
You are…
Mametchi
Nice to meet you! My name is Mametchi!
Miku
It's a pleasure to meet you too! I'm Hatsune Miku. You can just call me Miku.
Mametchi
I see, your name is Miku!
Um, do you know where this place is by any chance? It seems like I've lost my way.
Miku
Uh, this is-

Miku explains

Mametchi
I see… So this is a gap between Sekai… How very intriguing!
Based on what you've told me, this is more like an intangible realm instead of a corporeal one, correct?
Miku
Yes. That's why it's unusual for anyone to even come here.
A person from another world arrived here once before, but you seem to be different from them as well…1
Mametchi
I see…
Miku, do you know what Tamagotchi Planet is? I came from Tamagotchi Town, which is found on that planet.
Miku
Tamagotchi Town…from Tamagotchi Planet?
Mametchi
It seems like you don't know about it. Allow me to give you a simple explanation of what happened, then!
-I'm actually studying at Tamagotchi School which is located in that town.
As part of our lesson's assignment, we had to form teams and sing in chorus-

Flashback to Tamagotchi School Yard

Tamagotchi School Yard

Mametchi
Do you have your music scores ready, everyone? This may be our first time singing this song, but let's do our best!
Everyone
Okay!/Yeah!/Yeah-tchi!2
Memetchi
We absolutely cannot lose to Makiko's3 team! We have to go all out for this!
Mametchi
Alright, let's give this a shot, shall we? Ready, and go!
Mametchi & Mimitchi
——♪ ————♪ / ——♪ ——～～♪
Memetchi & Kuchipatchi
♪—— ♪————！ / ～～♪ ～～～♪
Mametchi
…How strange. We're completely out of tune.
Mimitchi
Well, it can't be helped since it's our first time, hop! Let's give it another try, hop!4
Mametchi
Got it. Let's all sing again while reading the music score properly, then.
We'll be starting now. Ready, and go!
Mametchi & Mimitchi

Memetchi & Kuchipatchi

Mametchi
-We continued practising after that, but we didn't stay in tune at all…
So I suggested listening to a model example a lot to learn how to sing the song, and created a sleep-learning device to achieve that!
Miku
A sleep-learning device?! Mametchi, you know how to make incredible things like that?
Mametchi
Ehehe! Inventing things is my hobby!
But when I used the sleep-learning device and went to sleep, what I heard wasn't the model choral singing. Instead…
Miku
Could it be…that you heard my singing instead…?
Mametchi
Exactly!
My inventions also fail a lot, though… Some kind of glitch might have occurred in this case too.
Miku
I see…
(But still… Is that device the sole reason why Mametchi arrived here?)
(Maybe it's related to some sort of "feeling"-)
Mametchi
AHH!!
Miku
Wah! Wh-What's wrong?
Mametchi
I made a most terrible blunder! I handed out the sleep-learning device I'd made to everyone in my team as well!
Things will go south if they ended up here! I have to go look for them!
Miku
Let me help you, then.
Ah! It'd be better if we had more help, right? I have other friends here too, so I'll try asking them.
Mametchi
Really?! Thank you so much!
Miku
…Come to think of it, Mametchi, you came here after hearing my song, right?
Mametchi
Yes! It was a really beautiful song! If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you showed me the ropes!
Miku
Hehe! If you're alright with me teaching you, then I'd love to ♪
(…My song, huh?)
(This place is connected to the Sekai made of those children's feelings and we often hear their songs and performances…)
(And it's also connected to that person's "incomplete Sekai", where they watch over their Sekai together with us…)5
(Perhaps-)
Miku
(There may be fun encounters in store for everyone too, just like how Mametchi and I met.)

Notes

  1. She should be talking about Hello Kitty in the Sanrio collab here.　(Return to text)

  1. Kuchipatchi ends his sentences with だっち dacchi/datchi. I kept it as -tchi here in line with how official Tamagotchi materials adapted it in English.　(Return to text)

  1. Surprisingly, Makiko is an actual character in the Tamagotchi universe, and she’s rivals with Memetchi hence the outburst here.　(Return to text)

  1. Mimitchi ends her sentences with ぴょん. Official Tamagotchi materials translate this as , hop! which I’ve opted for.　(Return to text)

  1. This part is a little strange because it sounds like Miku is talking about the Miku from the movie, but after discussing with some of the Sekaipedia editors, we couldn’t decide if this is really talking about that Miku or not, especially with her exact words of calling this other person’s Sekai incomplete (未完成のセカイ in quotes). To avoid any assumptions, this is kept vague in translation by using gender-neutral pronouns to refer to “that person”.　(Return to text)
