Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	For today’s leader meeting, Kazunari-kun will be joining.
Kazunari	Heyo⁓!
Banri	Didja come up with somethin’ again?
Kazunari	Exactamundo, Settzer! Just something I wanted to give a go.
	Actually… we held a project survey asking everyone what they wanted us to do⁓!
Sakuya	A project survey, you say?
Izumi	Yup. As per Kazunari-kun’s suggestion, it was for our fans.
Kazunari	Thankfully, MANKAI Company’s popularity is sky high RN!
Tenma	You’re right, our new fans have increased quite a bit.
Kazunari	However, it seems like the older fans felt they’ve grown distant from us that it’s making ‘em feel left out.
Kazunari	So, no matter how popular we get, we should be closer to our fans as a theater troupe, ya know?
Banri	I getcha. And that’s why you sent that survey out.
Tsumugi	And as for the results?
Kazunari	The most common response was “seeing more of the troupe members holding InsteLives and taking selfies!”
Tenma	I guess there are people who hold InsteLives more often than the others.
Tsumugi	Same goes for taking selfies. We mostly left that to those who are good at social media.
Kazunari	So so! My proposition for this special project is to hold the “Solo InsteLive & Selfie Festival” for 24 days straight!
Banri	Selfie Festival?
Kazunari	You take a quick selfie during the live and you post it after you finish the live, ain’t that a bangin’ idea?
Izumi	We already consulted Sakyo and he said it’ll be fine as long as I supervise in case some trouble comes up.
Kazunari	Anywho, the rest is up to y’all, so… how about it?
Sakuya	I would love to do it! I certainly want to make everyone happy…
	But for me, even if it’s behind a screen, I’m happy to just get a chance to talk to our fans!
Tsumugi	I’d like to do it as well. Maybe with this, I’ll get the hang of InsteLives and the sort.
Tenma	Although, we can’t just chat with them, right?
Kazunari	Oh about that, I thought of just doing a survey again for stuff they’d like each of us to do.
Banri	Seems like it’ll be easier that way.
Izumi	It’d be interesting for each InsteLive to turn out differently.
Kazunari	So, that’s that! Leave the form-making and tallying to me!
Sakuya	Thank you very much, Kazunari-san!
Izumi	Well then, I’ll leave it to you leaders to share the info on the InsteLive and selfies to everyone in your troupe.
Leaders	Got it!
Kazunari	Mhm mhm, I see⁓
Taichi	Oh, Kazu-kun! Is that for your InsteLive?
Kazunari	Yuppie!
Taichi	I wanna know what you got! So, what kinds of requests are there?
Kazunari	Stuff like “how to take good pics for Inste”, “tell us which part of designing flyers are you particular of”, etcetera, etcetera!
	Oh, didn’t ya write about the hypnosis book I read in your blog[1] that one time?
	Lookit, it says “I want you to hypnotize someone!”
Taichi	Ah! I did write about that!
	I couldn’t get to hypnotize someone… But it did work for you⁓
Kazunari	Yepyep! Though it was only you and Mukkun.
Taichi	Since you have a knack for it, I’m sure people will be thrilled to see you do it on stream!
Kazunari	For real? I’ll give it a shot then! It’ll def be awesome to have exciting content like that!
Taichi	Yeah! I’m sure the fans would enjoy it. I’ll also be waiting for it!
Kazunari	Yay! Then it’s decided, my solo InsteLive would be a “Mind Show”☆
	Man, I wonder who I should hypnotize⁓ Someone who I haven’t hypnotized would be perfect…
Taichi	Someone who hasn’t been hypnotized and who would be fun to hypnotize… Hmm⁓…
	Oh, recently Aa-chan’s been telling Juza-san he’s been eating too many sweets so…
	How about you hypnotize Juza-san to only eat spicy foods!?
Kazunari	That’s wild! I like it!
	Thanksies for the nice idea, Taicchan⁓! Alrighty, time to ask Hyodoru for a favor ASAP.

Juza	Kazunari-san, sorry in advance in case it doesn’t work, I might not be the best at getting hypnotized and all.
Kazunari	It’s all good!
Juza	But your stream content…
Kazunari	Well, not getting hypnotized can be entertaining too, you know? So really, it’s all OK!
Juza	Then, I guess I’m fine with it.
Izumi	Oh, it’s almost time to start. Well then, let’s begin!
Kazunari	It’s ya boi Kazunari Miyoshi of the Summer Troupe from MANKAI Company!
Comment	“Hello!”
Comment	“You’re so cute!”
Kazunari	So, how are y’all doing⁓?
Comment	“I’ve been doing well⁓!”
Comment	“I’m feeling great!”
Kazunari	Ooh, that’s nice! Hey hey, have y’all had lunch yet? What didja eat?
Comment	“I had a Ginger Pork meal”
Comment	“I ate a Loco Moco bowl!”
Kazunari	Really!? Those are all uber yummy!
	I’d love to keep chatting but, we gotta get a move on…
	Oh right! Thanks you guys for answering the survey⁓!
Comment	“No prob!”
Kazunari	In today’s survey, most of y’all wanted me to do hypnosis and so I shall!
Comment	“Hypnosis!?”
Comment	“Awesome!”
Kazunari	Ah, as for the other suggestions, I thought of doing ‘em next time, so stay tuned⁓!
Comment	“Oh I’m glad!”
Comment	“Your fan reception is crazy”
Kazunari	Without further ado, here’s the grand appearance of the member-to-be-hypnotized!
Juza	I’m Juza Hyodo from the Autumn Troupe.
Comment	“It’s Juza-kun!”
Comment	“Juza-kun’s getting hypnotized!?”
Kazunari	Lookin' forward to working with ya today, Hyodoru.
Juza	You too.
Kazunari	Now then, it’s time to raise the curtains on Kazunari Miyoshi’s charming Mind Show⁓!
Comment	“So exciting!”
Comment	“Good luck⁓!”
Kazunari	Look into my eyes. Little by little, you feel your eyelids are getting heavier by the second.
	Heavier, and heavier, until you can’t keep your eyes open anymore.
Juza	…
Kazunari	And then, once you open your eyes, you will only want to eat spicy food.
Juza	…
Comment	“Did he get hypnotized?”
Comment	“I’m on edge…”
Kazunari	The representative for sweets is cream anmitsu…
	For sour food, it’s a grapefruit… And lastly, I prepared a fiery hot snack!
	Well, Hyodoru, take your pick!
Juza	…This one, the fiery hot snack.
Comment	“Woaaah, he got hypnotized!”
Comment	“There ain’t no way!”
Kazunari	Let’s keep testing a bit more to see if he really did get hypnotized!
	What happens when I take this grapefruit to Hyodoru’s lips…
Juza	…
Kazunari	His mouth won’t open up⁓
	Next, what if I take the cream anmitsu instead…
Juza	…
Kazunari	Not only did he NOT even open his mouth in the slightest, but he also turned his head away!
	Last but not the least, how about the fiery hot snack…?
Juza	…I wanna eat it.
Comment	“He opened his mouth!”
Comment	“He really is hypnotized!!”
Kazunari	Right!? He sure seems like it!
	But, once I undo the hypnosis, he wouldn’t dare put any of that fiery hot snack near his mouth.
	So that means! The hypnosis is a huge success⁓!
Comment	“Amazing!”
Comment	“8888888”
Kazunari	Alrighty then, I’ll be undoing the hypnosis now⁓!
Juza	…?
Kazunari	Hyodoru, wanna get a taste of this fiery hot snack?
Juza	…I’m not really sure I want to.
Comment	“Even though he said he would eat it earlier⁓”
Comment	“What a complete change from before!”
Juza	Wait, could I have been hypnotized?
Kazunari	Yeah! When you were hypnotized, you said you wanted to eat the fiery hot snack!
Comment	“He was totally hypnotized!”
Comment	“That’s so surprising!”
Juza	That so…? I can’t remember anything…
	But, I’m glad it worked.
CHOICE 1: I want to get hypnotized! [+] Comment “I want to get hypnotized!” Comment “Same here⁓!” Kazunari Y’all wanna get hypnotized too? OK, then look into my eyes. Don’t turn away, a’ight? You will become crazy obsessed because you love Kazunari Miyoshi sooo much… Juuust kidding! I hope that even without hypnotism, y’all will still be crazy about me… And for that to happen, I guess I hafta keep working at it! So, gimme your support! Comment “OMG my heart just skipped a beat!” Comment “My oshi’s the best!”
CHOICE 2: Is there anyone else you want to hypnotize? [+] Comment “Is there anyone else you want to hypnotize?” Kazunari Someone else, huh… Lemme think about it⁓ Ah, probs Takusu! Oh oh, and Itarun!
