Backstage Stories
IzumiSakyo-san….. hm? Only Azami-kun?
AzamiYea. Shitty Sakyo is meeting with the Ginsenkai.
IzumiI see. Then it can’t be helped, I’ll talk to him tomorrow.
AzamiI think he’ll be back soon, you can stay here and wait for him.
IzumiAre you sure?
AzamiI don’t mind. I’m just listening to music anyway.
IzumiThen I will take your offer and wait here for a while.
AzamiKay. You can sit here.
IzumiThank you. Is it hip-hop that you are currently playing?
AzamiYea.
IzumiRight, Azami-kun liked hip-hop. Who is singing this?
AzamiHe’s called MC. HOTDOG, a really popular artist right now.
Izumi….Ah~
AzamiYou know him?
Izumi…..I don’t.
AzamiI knew it.
IzumiBut I think I am a bit interested. If you don’t mind, Azami-kun, can you tell me your suggestions?
AzamiI don’t mind, but what kind do you prefer? Hip-hop has several genres.
IzumiI’ll leave it to you.
AzamiOkay.
IzumiHowever, you have a huge amount of CDs. Are these all hip-hop….. hm!?
This CD cover, what a unique design. Somehow it draws attention, it’s quite eccentric….
AzamiAhh, that one is the one I borrowed from Homare-san.
IzumiHomare-san!?
AzamiApparently Homare-san also likes hip-hop, so sometimes during street acts, we will also perform rap battle.
IzumiI- I see…..
(A rap battle during a street act….. What a unique idea)
AzamiYou can take it if you want to borrow it. I will tell Homare-san.
Izumi…..I’m a bit interested, but I guess I will pass this time.
Sakyo…. Hm? Director-san, you were here?
IzumiWelcome back, Sakyo-san. Azami-kun is choosing a hip-hop CD for me right now.
SakyoAll hip-hop is the same thing. To me it simply sounds like they are chanting Sutra.
AzamiIt’s just that your ears are too old.
SakyoHUH? If I am old then you are brat.
IzumiWell well, please calm down, both of you….
SakyoA brat should not stay up this late. You always nag about skin care, so hurry and sleep.
AzamiHUH? It’s way too early! Have you become so old that you can’t even tell the time?
Sakyo…..
Azami…..
Izumi(Th-this seems bad….)
….. I will go call Omi-kun!
IzumiOh, Azami kun. Are you going back?
AzamiNo, I am just wandering.
IzumiAlone?
AzamiYea, today. Although usually Shifuto would be with me too.
IzumiWas Shifuto-kun your childhood friend? You guys are close.
AzamiYea. We usually chill at a family restaurant, or randomly check around shops.
Today I was planning to go to Karaoke with Shifuto too, but he had to help out around his house so now I am alone.
IzumiI see…. Ah, then do you want to go with me instead?
AzamiWith director? Well, I dont mind…
IzumiThen its decided. Let’s go.
IzumiAzami-kun, you can go first.
AzamiHm~… then this.
Hands up, raise up your tension,
24-7 with cool crews.
Airhead trying to act as an underground emperor,
Wacky rhyme is too boring~
Izumi(As I thought, Azami-kun raps really well)
That was very incredible!
AzamiTh-that was nothing special. I-If you haven’t decided the next song yet then I will continue.
IzumiSure, go ahead.
(Ah, it’s hip-hop again)
Azami….Ah. Shoot, this one can’t be sung by one person.
IzumiIs that so? Only if I could sing it….
AzamiIt can’t be helped. Let’s pause itーー
HomareーーI knew it! Azami-kun and director-kun!
IzumiHomare-san!? Why are you here…..
HomareI was thinking of trying out solo-karaoke, then I heard Azami-kun’s rap from the next door!
AzamiAnd, when you peeked, it was really us.
HomareExactly. ーーMumu! This dope rhythm that has been playing!
AzamiAa, this one is the one I lent it to Homare-san before.
ーーHey, this bath is over-boiled.
HomareVerse of the head, the extreme treasure, engraved lyrics and overflowing gimmicks!
Izumi(They suddenly started a duet…!)
TenmaWoah, it was really Azami and Alice-san.
CitronOh! What a hot wrap they are covering!
BanriIt’s not wrap, but rap.
IzumiIs everyone also here for karaoke?
TenmaYeah, because Citron said he wanted to go…
CitronMmm, I can’t hold back anymore! I am going to join too!
IzumiEven Citron-kun!?
CitronYo, check it out, eat the word of Genghis Khan!
TenmaIt’s so crazy….
Banri….Director-chan, do you want to come to our room?
IzumiI think I will do that….
