Event	Japanese	English	Note
Introduction Play	こんにちは。高雄です。貴方のような素敵な提督で良かったわ。	Good morning. I'm Takao. It's great that you look like a capital Admiral.
Library Intro Play	巡洋艦といえば、なんといっても、私、高雄型よね。近藤中将麾下の第四戦隊に所属して、数々の海戦に参加しました。激戦を戦い抜いて、最後はシンガポール防衛に努めたの。	If you're talking about cruisers, no matter how you look at it, it has to be me, Takao! Attached to Vice Admiral Kondo's 4th fleet, I participated in many naval battles. Overcoming these hard-fought conflicts, I concluded with a diligent defence of Singapore.	The Takao sustained heavy damage and finished the war moored at Singapore as an air defence platform.

Secretary(Married) PlayPlay	提督、高雄がついていますから…安心して 提督、どうされました？　少し、お疲れでは？　わかりました。この高雄の膝枕をお貸ししましょう！　少しだけでいいので、お休みになって下さい。これも、司令官の大切なお勤めですよ？（改）	Admiral, Takao will be with you... have no fear. Admiral, is something wrong? Are you, by chance, a bit tired? I see, then shall I give you a lap pillow? It's okay if it's for a bit, so please have a good rest. This is also a part of your important work, after all. (kai)
Wedding PlayPlay	お褒めの言葉なんて…それよりもっとわかりやすい形で…勲章とかじゃなくって… 提督。司令官の御役目、大変だと思います。もし少しお疲れなら、どうぞ、この高雄の胸でお休みになってくださいね？　私達、いつでもお側に…いますから（改）	These words of praise... I would like to have that in a more direct way... no, not a medal, but instead... Admiral, the commander's responsibilities are heavy. If you're feeling a bit tired, you're welcome to have a rest on my chest alright? We will always be... together right? (kai)
