Backstage Stories

Part 1

Izumi	(Some of the cast members came together to a karaoke place as a get-together and as self-training…)
	(Citron-kun belted out a hit Zafran song flawlessly. And Itaru-san showed his commitment towards the key settings for an anime song.)
	(And then, in an unexpected event, Homare-san was scouted by the president of a music agency who suddenly barged into the room…)
Azuma	It’s a relief you were able to reason with that president somehow.
Itaru	He was ridiculously persistent about leaving his business card though.
Citron	I’ll send him my demo tape later.
Azuma	But was that alright? It seemed he was really into Homare’s singing though.
Homare	I’m grateful he appreciated my talents, but it wasn’t possible, at least at this point in time.
	Right now, standing on stage with everyone is much more important, you see?
Izumi	Homare-san…
Homare	Now then, let’s pull ourselves together.
	Will the next who sings be Director-kun or Azuma-san?
Izumi	Ahh, I’m totally fine with going last.
	Please go ahead, Azuma-san!
Itaru	Here, Azuma-san, the remote control.
Azuma	Hmm. With this group, just listening to everyone sing is fun enough… what should I do?
Citron	Azuma’s playing my master this time! I wanna hear Azuma sing!
Azuma	Haha, that’s true.
	In that case, please allow me to sing.
	…
	Ah, I know. Hey, Director.
	If it’s alright with you, won’t you sing a duet with me?
Izumi	Ehh, me!?
Azuma	Yes. You haven’t sung yet either, so it’s the perfect chance, isn't it?
Izumi	Well, alright…
	But is there a song we can sing together?
Azuma	An old client of mine told me about this song. But it’s famous, so I’m sure you’ve heard it at least once before, right?
Izumi	(“2 Years and 5 Months of Fooling Around”…)
	Y-yeah, the song’s famous so I’ve at least hummed it to myself before!
Azuma	Alright, then it’s decided.
	*beep*
Homare	A duet between Director-kun and Azuma-san!
	It seems we’ll be able to hear something spectacular.
Citron	I’m jealous you get to do a duet with Director!
Itaru	It is pretty rare. Should I record it?
Izumi	P-please don’t! I’m nervous and I bet my voice will tremble!
Azuma	Come on, Director, the intro’s starting.
	“The lipstick~ stuck to your shirt~ ♪”
Izumi	(EHH!? Azuma-san’s the female part!?)
	“Hey, what are you saying, that’s just some kind of misunderstanding~ ♪”
Azuma	“Whatever~ you’re tired of me anyways ♪”
Izumi	“Enough already~ listen, you’re already~ the only one for me~ ♪”
Itaru	Haha, Director-san’s portrayal of the misery of the husband who was caught cheating is really realistic.
Homare	The tension of the duet is being carried well in their singing voices.
Citron	Let’s show everyone when we get back!
	I’ll record~.
Izumi	S-stop that right now!!
