6 days remain until 2010 Sakura Gakuin Festival 💕
There are some difficult lyrics in Baton Club's song "Dear Mr. Socrates"
I couldn't understand some words' meanings at all so I tried looking them up in a dictionary
Then, it felt so interesting that I tried looking up four-character idioms to describe the feeling of working hard towards success at Sakura Gakuin Festival 1
"愚公移山" 🌸 2
I believe that if we put in effort, the festival will be a success ✩
We will all do our best to make it fun so please support us
Translated by The Rado
Notes
1- Japanese four-character idioms (四字熟語; yojijukugo) can be found here. However, I didn't find Rau's idiom there, most likely because it's of Chinese origin.
2- The idiom "愚公移山" comes from a beautiful story about a man who was determined to move a mountain which blocked the way to his family home. Read more here.

バトン部「ディアミスターソクラテス」の詩には難しい言葉がいくつかあります。
全然意味がわからなかったから、辞書で調べてみました。
そしたら、面白かったのでさくら学院祭に向けて頑張る気持を四字熟語で調べてみました！！
「愚公移山」
努力すれば成功するだろうです。
みんなで楽しく頑張るので、応援よろしくお願いします

7 days remain until ✩ 2010 Sakura Gakuin Festival 🌸
I hope that everyone in the venue will smile along with Nene ♪
On the day of the festival, let's all enjoy our performance to the fullest together
I'm sure it will be fun 1
It was Nene 😺2
Translated by The Rado
Notes
1- Nene used a phrase "しかたがない" (shikata ga nai) which is kind of infamous for its meaning "it can't be helped", "nothing can be done about that" when used when expressing negative feeling towards something. Googling it can lead you to various interesting articles on the issue.
2- To see a very very kawaii artwork of a cat turned into a signature of Nene, see the original diary linked to above.

9 days left! 💕🌠
Moa was thinking that she should try to use the number 9 writing her countdown diary since she's charge of the one that would be released 9 days before the festival 1
Moa, a member of the cute Sakura Gakuin, will do her best in singing and dancing
I have suddenly grown a lot (Lol) Have I really? (Lol) 🎤
During hard times, I could still do my best only thanks to my friends who were always there for me
Come and see the big-and-round-eyed Moa please 💕
Be careful when you come! I'll be waiting for you!
I'm excited and thrilled
It was Moa 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Translated by The Rado
Notes
1- As you can see in the Kanji transcript below, Moa really put the number 9 to good use here. 9 can be read as "kyuu" or "ku" just like characters put in front of brackets in the transcript. Scroll down under the transcript to find a much more scientific yet understandable explanation from Reddit.

Notes
1- Hinata's diary started the countdown to the beginning of Sakura Gakuin festival, 10 days ahead of it. Each of the 10 members would then go on to write one diary for the countdown.
