Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Citron	Live music is the best~! It is so exciting and hyping dayo!
Izumi	Citron-kun, you went to an anime song singer’s concert the other day, right?
Citron	Yes! It was a very hot live concert! Coke & Lemon Pawns were also fun!
Masumi	Call & response.
Citron	That is it!
Itaru	Cool, I was really itching to go too. You could just drop by on weekdays any time you like, talk about unbeatable……
Chikage	If you wanted to go so much, you could’ve just taken a paid leave.
Itaru	That’s like, trying to casually pull out a legendary sword out of a stone.
Sakuya	The venue was built by MIZUNO Enterprises in the next town over.
Citron	That is right. It is newly built, and the audience seats were very comfortable!
Tsuzuru	We were on stage at the opening of that venue, right?
	Even though we had the power of Mizuno on our side, I still can’t believe it.
Itaru	That stage really was different from our usual one. It’s pretty refreshing.
Izumi	The re-viewing performance we did before and the White Day Live were both very received……
	We often get requests for live performances.
	Maybe we’ll have another chance to hold another live together, maybe.
Citron	Yes! I also want to do it!
Sakuya	If that happens, I’ll have to work on my singing again!
Tsuzuru	It also helps when you’re onstage in a musical.
	And as an actor, there’s nothing better than being able to sing.
Citron	Of course, singing is important, but that is not all there is to it!
Masumi	More than just the song?
Citron	The fanservice, of course!
	I went to the concert as a spectator, I felt the importance of fan support again.
Chikage	Sakyo-san would always tell us to say things like “I would like to thank my fans at….” to thank them for their support.
Citron	Yes! That is why we need to study more about fanservice.
Tsuzuru	You got a point there.
Sakuya	I want to convey how I feel to my fans through various fanservice!
Citron	Like the singer I saw at the concert, you will be more popular if you do stuff in a way that suits your personality while doing fanservice!
Itaru	I get what you mean, the princely type, the energetic type, the cool type and the list goes on.
Citron	Our company members all have different weapons! I am going to start researching on fanservice to take advantage of them!
Sakuya	Chikage-san also puts on a wonderful smile in front of the fans.
Citron	A mature and gentlemanly smile dayo!
Itaru	But, senpai’s also pretty bland.
Chikage	Oi, don’t give such a petty response.
Itaru	How do we add more oomph……
	Ah, I got it.
Tsuzuru	I think I’ve got an idea on what it is.
Chikage	I got a bad feeling about this.

Itaru	This is why I called you over. This is Producer Sakisaka.
Muku	N-nice to meet you!
Citron	I see, we will be under Muku Productions!
Itaru	Thanks for coming, Muku. We’re researching bout fanservice right now, we plan on using each spring troupe member’s personality to our advantage.
Muku	Wow, each one with a unique fanservice style…… that’s so cool!
Itaru	So, Muku, we wanted to ask for your help in producing a new kind of fanservice that would take advantage of senpai’s sadism.
Muku	If I can be of any help, of course I’ll help you in anything!
	A handsome man who is very sadistic… I got it! Please wait a moment!
Masumi	I think he went to get something.
Tsuzuru	Muku knows a lot about shoujo manga, handsome guys and heartbreaking lines, maybe he went to get a book about it to help us.
Izumi	(Chikage-san’s fanservice produced by Muku-kun, I wonder that’ll be like.)
Muku	Sorry for the wait!
	How about we refer to my shoujo manga!
	It’s shoujo manga that’s very popular these days, and it features a really sadistic, handsome guy from the underworld!
Izumi	Oh, I know about it!
	There’s even a movie adaptation.
Muku	That’s right.
	I’ve always thought that the sadistic hero Byakuran-san is a lot like Chikage-san!
Tsuzuru	I agree, the vibe is pretty similar.
Sakuya	You’re right!
Chikage	Well, I don’t know, I’m not sure myself.
Citron	This cool bare is awesome!
Masumi	It’s glare, not bare.
Muku	And this line on page 38 of volume 5 has a buzzing great quote in it……! It’s really popular!
	How about practicing this line as reference for fanservice?
Chikage	No, I…….
Itaru	If you give it a shot, you might even get some ideas for new fanservice.
Muku	This line is really cool.
	I think it’ll definitely suit you, Chikage-san! Please do it…!
Tsuzuru	…… Muku, your eyes are shining.
Chikage	Sigh…… if you look at me like that, how can I not? There’s no way around this, so I’ll give it a try.
Muku	Wow, thank you!
Chikage	Is it the line on this page?
Sakuya	Do your best, Chikage-san!
Itaru	Your move, senpai.
Chikage	“Fuu…… You’re the one who made me get all serious. No matter how much you cry or whine, it won’t reach anyone.”
Chikage	“I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth. Don’t you ever think you can escape me.”
Muku	Wow……!! A heartthrob!
Sakuya	That was so cool……!
Citron	As expected of Chikage! Sadistic lines are perfect for him!
Tsuzuru	No, it’s cool, but……
Izumi	The lines hit and the vibe was perfect, but……
Itaru	Somehow, when senpai’s the one saying the line, there’s like this bloody fear for some reason.
Masumi	It’s not like shoujo manga or a live fanfic at all.
Itaru	Yup.
Tsuzuru	This production is a no-go……
