Translation

 

With the Colorio printer,
My photo is super pretty! Wow!

My photo is super glamorous! *sparkles*
My photo is super gorgeous! Ah, tears of joy are trickling down my face!

Hence, photos are exceptionally beautiful!

Colorio!

And the color won’t fade!

Epson!

* a word-play of combining 驚き 'odoroki' (surprise) + キレイ '‘kirei' (pretty) = 'odoro kirei'

** a word-play of combining きらめき 'kirameki' (sparkle) + キレイ 'kirei' (pretty) = 'kirame kirei'

*** a word-play of combining 涙ちょちょぎれる 'namida chocho kire' (shedding tears) + キレイ 'kirei' (pretty) = 'namida chocho kirei'
'namida chocho kire' is an obsolete word, and that's why Ayaya is dressed like an enka singer when mentioning this phrase (lots of obsolete/classical words are used in enka lyrics in general, so she's kind of teasing enka songs innocently)

**** a word-play of combining とびっきり 'tobikkiri' (exceptional) + キレイ 'kirei' (pretty) = 'tobbikkirei'
