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 was really particular about the key settings for an anime song.)
Homare	To think Itaru-kun had such an obsession towards the pursuit of expression… my, oh my, call me impressed.
Azuma	I’m glad he was able to find a key he was happy with.
Izumi	I thought your power to get it right was remarkable!
	But starting over three times was a bit…
Itaru	My bad, my bad. It’s pretty hard finding your own key for your favourite song.
Citron	You’ll be able to do it in one shot next time, so no problem.
Azuma	Alright, who shall go next?
Homare	Aheeem.
	Isn’t it my turn to take the stage now?
Izumi	So it’ll be Homare-san. Here’s the remote control.
Homare	It’s always so difficult choosing a tune which makes the absolute best use of this beautiful voice…
	Umu. I was torn between this and a rap song, but I shall go with this today.
	*beep*
Izumi	What an incredibly grand intro…!
	Just what kind of song is this…!
Azuma	The sound has depth to it.
	Karaoke is amazing these days, huh?
Citron	Woohoo! Go~ ♪
Homare	“Haaa~ ♪”
Itaru	Is this… gospel?
Izumi	Come to think of it, Homare-san was part of the choir during his time at St. Flora Junior High, wasn’t he?
Azuma	He has a beautiful voice that you just get lost in, huh?
Citron	It’s a godly voice that wouldn’t lose to the choir of my country.
Itaru	You know, it's like the background music of a subculture mecha anime.
Homare	“Hallelu~ ♪”
	*door opens*
Mysterious man	Is this the place where I heard that unpolished gemstone of a voice…!
Izumi	W-what the heck! Sir!
Homare	“Dododo~ ♪”
Mysterious man	Ohh… ohh…
Izumi	(H-he’s crying…!?)
Homare	Oh my? Who is that person, Director?
Izumi	I-I have absolutely no idea either…
Mysterious man	HAH. H-here’s my card.
Azuma	Ummm, the president of a music agency…?
Mysterious man	I have always been in search of an owner of a beautiful voice who can deliver real music.
	I’ve been coming to this karaoke place because I believed without a doubt that it was my destiny to meet them here.
	And now, today, I was finally able to meet you…!
	Let’s set forth to rewrite the Japanese music world together!
Izumi	EHHH!?
Itaru	LOL, it’s here—the passionate scout.
Homare	Hm… That is a rather interesting invitation for me who pursues the possibilities of art.
	But unfortunately, I cannot accept it.
	I’m very busy as both a poet and actor at the moment.
Mysterious man	N-no way…!
Izumi	(I'm relieved he refused... but Homare-san's talent really does enthusiastically attract some people.)
