Practice Conversation 1[edit]

Tenma	A play with a dog theme, huh? I mentioned it was my first time playing an animal during “The Adventure for Sardines”. But this sure brings back memories.
	Of course, I’m gonna do lots of research on dogs so I can properly show their movements and characteristics this time as well.
	It’s fun thinking about the differences from our cat play we did in the past.
	What’s more, we also have some action scenes this time.
	We’re gonna claw with our nails, bite, and jump around…
	I’d like to create show-stopping action scenes by incorporating a dog’s unique movements.

Practice Conversation 2[edit]

Tenma	I’m listening to stories from people who own dogs in order to prepare for my role in the play.
	They have a dog named Zabi back at Tsumugi-san’s family home, right?
	Tsumugi-san told me that ever since he was a student, he used to go for walks with Zabi, play with him, and even take naps with him.
	Apparently, he’s also made toys for Zabi before with Tasuku-san’s help.
	He mentioned that seeing our dog-themed play made him want to see Zabi.
	After listening to Tsumugi-san, I feel like I wanna meet Zabi too.
	Should I ask him to set that up for me next time?

Tenma	Rio, who I play, has a strong sense of justice.
	He’s always stating it’s his duty to protect the townspeople.
	Also, he cherishes Chacha who he grew up with like brothers.
	Rio helps his friends and bravely stands up against his enemies…
	He’s a great, reliable guy.
	I think Rio’s cool and I respect him.
	Just like Rio… I always want to protect Director and those guys too.
	I-it’s important to to share the same thoughts and feelings as the role you play, you know!
	So I’m gonna become a more reliable guy, just like Rio.

Taichi	Speaking of dogs, they have great noses, don’t they!
Tenma	Yeah, there’s a scene in our upcoming story where the dogs track a scent.
Taichi	By the way, Ten-chan, do you have a fave smell?
Tenma	Let’s see… well, it’s pretty typical, but delicious smells that waft from the kitchen get me excited.
Taichi	I feel you! You get hella hyped when you come home and catch a whiff of somethin’ nice, right~.
Tenma	How about you, Taichi?
Taichi	On the topic of food, then maybe the smokiness during festivals?
	It sets the mood and it’s super excitin’.
	I also love the smell of the sun when my futon’s aired out. And I admire the scent of cool perfume~.
Tenma	The smell of soap and fabric softener is also a typical answer.
	I see… it might be possible to add conversations about and scents and fragrances to our ad-libs and daily jokes.
Taichi	Great idea! Sounds interesting.
Tenma	Alright, I’ll try discussing it with the Summer troupe guys right away.
