Izumi | All of you look adorable, just like real dolls! |
Masumi | I’m happy to hear your compliment… |
Izumi | These costumes have Yuki-kun’s tastes reflected in them, right? |
Muku | Not just the outfits, they went all out with the makeup as well! |
|
Masumi | …They painted some stuff on our joints. |
Azuma | They used makeup to recreate ball-joints just like a genuine doll. |
Hisoka | It’s like we turned into dolls. It feels strange… |
Izumi | They paid great attention down to the last detail. |
Yuki | I think Azami was interested too, so I’ll take some pics and send them to him. |
| Stand over there, Banri. |
Banri | Got it, got it. |
| *click* |
| I mean, wouldn’t it be better to get the data from the photoshoot afterwards? |
Yuki | I’d like to get some full body shots for reference. |
| This is a good chance, so I’ll get you guys to stand one-by-one. Masumi, you’re next. |
|
Masumi | Take one of Director and I together. |
Izumi | These are reference photos! |
Staff | This time, we want to go with a slightly more aesthetic atmosphere, so please keep your smiles modest. |
| Also, since you’re marionettes, we’d like to attempt a slightly more difficult composition in addition to the regular shots. |
| Here’s the reference. |
Izumi | It’s not just their hands, their whole bodies are tied up and suspended by strings…!? |
Banri | Are they for real? |
Hisoka | …Impressive. |
Staff | Of course you’re not actually going to be suspended, so please rest assured. |
| This reference photo is simply the image we’re going for. |
Muku | T-thank goodness… |
Staff | We’d like everyone to take turns giving it a try and see how it goes, so please bear with us. |
Banri | That’s a dynamic composition, for sure. |
Muku | I-I wonder if I can pull it off… |
Azuma | Let’s just give it a try for now. |
|
Cameraman | Alright, let’s start off with Rurikawa-kun. |
Yuki | We should pose like we’re hung up, right? |
| Something like this? |
| *click* |
Cameraman | Great! Your expression is spot on too! |
Masumi | … |
Hisoka | That’s Yuki for you. |
Azuma | He knows a lot about this stuff, so he also has lots of poses, hm? |
Cameraman | Okay. I was able to capture the pattern, so I’ll ask Yukishiro-kun to go up next. |
Azuma | I wonder if it would be alright to lie down here. |
Cameraman | Yes, that’s it! |
| *click* |
Azuma | Should I fan out my hair? |
Cameraman | Nice idea. You can really feel the aesthetic vibe! |
| *click* |
Staff | He looks like a real doll…! |
Muku | Azu nee-san’s allure is nothing to scoff at…! |
Banri | He’s got a mature aura that’s different from Yuki’s. |
Izumi | (As expected from Azuma-san…) |
| |
| Great job, everyone. |
Masumi | I’m tired. |
Banri | I did too many weird poses and now it hurts in weird places. |
Yuki | Not enough exercise, huh? |
Hisoka | …*Snore*. |
Azuma | Fufu. It looks like Hisoka fell asleep as well. |
Staff | Now we just have to select the cover photo… |
| All the shots are spectacular. It’s hard to cast some aside. |
| However, this time, the image has a slightly aesthetic atmosphere… |
| Can I use these shots of Yuki-san who has a faintly ephemeral, doll-like innocence, and Azuma-san who has a totally mature vibe? |
Izumi | Of course. Please go with those. |
Azuma | This is Yuki’s second time gracing the cover. |
Yuki | Guess so. |
Muku | I can’t wait to see the guests’ reactions! |
Izumi | Same here! |
