Backstage Stories
| Misumi | A skateboard themed play sounds really interesting! |
| Itaru | I bet they’re going be considering loads of things like the staging and how they’ll act in the scenes where they ride their skateboards. |
| Azami | All the cast members are actually gonna ride their boards too. |
| Are each of them gonna be designed by you, Kazunari-san? | |
| Kazunari | Yep! I’ll be designing them based off the requests from the skateboarders themselves~. |
| I’m really looking forward to hearing what everyone’s gonna have in store for me… | |
| Hint, hint! I’m waiting for yours too, Massu. | |
| Masumi | Whatever. Anything’s fine with me. |
| Azami | This is a rare chance, so why don't you just ask him for a design you’d like? |
| Masumi | I don’t have any specifications or designs that I like. |
| Kazunari | Don’t say that~. I’ll deffs create the best design that you’ll totally be into, Massu! |
| Ah, it doesn’t have to be specific! | |
| You can just tell me the motif or colour you wanna use! | |
| Masumi | …What a pain. |
| Itaru | What a waste~. |
| You get the chance to request anything you’d like. | |
| If it was me, then I’d ask for a motif of my fave game. | |
| Misumi | I’d suggest a triangle design~. |
| Azami | You two are way too particular about the things you like. |
| Kazunari | I’d love to design Massu’s skateboard so it screams “Massu”. Give it some thought. |
| Masumi | *Sigh*… fine. |
| (A skateboard design… | |
| What did the other guys choose?) | |
| Homare | Hum, hum~♪ |
| Masumi | (…Another noisy guy is here.) |
| Homare | Oh my, Masumi-kun! Perfect timing! |
| Masumi | Not for me. |
| Homare | The skateboard design I requested of Kazunari-kun has been completed! |
| Masumi | Listen to what people are saying. |
| Homare | Feast your eyes. It’s absolutely artistic and breathtaking! |
| Masumi | Roses, huh? |
| Homare | Indeed. I had a hard time deciding. But after much thought, I asked him to design something I enjoy. |
| After all, you will feel more power and motivation if you have something you like designed for you. | |
| Masumi | Well… I guess that’s true. |
| Homare | Isn’t it? I simply can’t wait to use this board. |
| Shall I show you some artistic and gorgeous skating? | |
| Masumi | (You’ll feel more power and motivation if you have something you like designed for you… huh?) |
| (…In that case, my design can be none other than that.) |
| *knock, knock* | |
| Kazunari | Yesss~. |
| *door opens* | |
| What’s up, Massu? | |
| Masumi | I’ve settled on a design request. |
| Kazunari | Seriously!? Spill!? |
| Masumi | …I want to incorporate Director’s portrait onto it. |
| Kazunari | Ooh, I see! |
| A skateboard with Director-chan’s design, eh! | |
| Hold on a sec. I’ll draw the image in my sketchbook. | |
| Let me see. I’ll place Director-chan’s portrait around here… | |
| Masumi | Give her a dazzling smile. An expression where she’s looking at me would be nice. |
| Kazunari | No prob! |
| …Like this? | |
| Masumi | No. Her eyes actually sparkle, and her smile is way, way cuter. Also… |
| Kazunari | —And there you have it! How’s this!? |
| Masumi | …The real deal is even cuter. But, well, this isn’t bad. |
| I’ll hop on this skateboard of my very own and skate around… | |
| Kazunari | Sounds like a plan! |
| Masumi | —. |
| …! | |
| Director’s face would be running just inches off the ground. | |
| Kazunari | Eh? I mean, it’s a skateboard, so yeah… |
| Masumi | If it happens to get scratched… |
| No way. I can’t stand the thought of her getting scratched, even if it’s a portrait. | |
| …I’m not using this design. | |
| Kazunari | Ehh, you’re not—! |
| Masumi | Director. |
| Izumi | What’s up? |
| …Ah. Could that be the skateboard you’re going to use, Masumi-kun? | |
| Masumi | Yeah. The design is finally finished. |
| Izumi | Really? Can I see it? |
| Masumi | Sure. |
| Izumi | Wow, a cassette tape design! |
| Masumi | I requested it with the theme of “something I like”. |
| Izumi | You love music, so it’s perfect for you, Masumi-kun. |
| I think cassette tapes are stylish and lovely in a sort of retro way! | |
| Masumi | Thanks. |
| I had a hard time coming up with a design. But it was pretty fun recalling the things I like. | |
| …Hey, if it was up to you, what would you add as a design? | |
| Izumi | Hmm… I guess it’s gotta be curry for me! |
| I’d like to add theatre as well, but I feel like that would be a bit hard to incorporate as a design… | |
| Ah, adding spices as a design would look neat too, right! | |
| In that case, I’d add this and also… | |
| Masumi | You’re so cute when you’re thinking about the things you like. |
| I’d… like to be included in what you like as well someday. |
