Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Kazunari-kun will also be joining us for today’s leader meeting.
Kazunari	What's up~!
Banri	Do you have another idea to share?
Kazunari	That’s exactly right, Settzer! There’s something I want us to do.
	Well, actually… I did a survey and asked the fans what they wanted us to do~!
Sakuya	A survey?
Izumi	Yep. Kazunari came up with the idea to ask all of our fans.
Kazunari	Thankfully MANKAI Company’s popularity has increased a ton!
Tenma	That’s right, our fan-count has increased considerably.
Kazunari	Though, some of our long-time fans said they’ve felt a little lonely since we’ve been away from them.
	But no matter how popular we get, we wanna be the kind of troupe that always stays close with their fans, right?
Banri	I see. So that’s what the project survey was for?
Tsumugi	What were the results?
Kazunari	The most popular response was that they wanted to see more Inste-lives and selfies of all of our members! So that’s our winner!
Tenma	The frequency of livestreams does vary from person to person.
Tsumugi	It’s the same for selfies. It’s basically just the members who are good with social media.
Kazunari	So! I propose we do something special! A 24 day solo livestream and selfie fest!
Banri	Selfie fest?
Kazunari	If you take your selfies during the livestream and post them to Inste later, that’ll make things even more exciting!
Izumi	I spoke with Sakyo-san about it, and he said it’d be fine, as long as I supervised to make sure no trouble occurred during the livestreams.
Kazunari	So, it’s just up to you guys… How about it?
Sakuya	I want to do it! Of course I want to make everyone happy, but…
	Having to chance to speak with my fans through a screen makes me happy too!
Tsumugi	I also want to try. If I take it slow, I should be able to understand livestreaming at least somewhat.
Tenma	But we’re not just going to chat, are we?
Kazunari	About that, I figured it’d be a good idea to see what people wanted to see each member do, so I want to do another survey.
Banri	That would make figuring out what do to pretty easy.
Izumi	If everyone did something different, that would make the livestreams interesting.
Kazunari	Then it’s settled! Leave the survey creation and tallying to me!
Sakuya	Thank you, Kazunari-san!
Izumi	Now then, leaders, please go spread the word about the Inste-live and selfie project with your troupe members.
Troupe Leaders	Alright!
Tenma	(So this is the survey that Kazunari complied for us. Seems like he wrote a lot down.)
	The requests for me are…
	‘I want you to do a workout routine that women could do’, 'Q&A’, 'I want to know Tenma-kun’s daily life’….
	'Please share your morning routine’…. They’re quite varied.
	But the most common response seems to be workouts and stretches women could do…
Izumi	What are you up to, Tenma-kun?
Tenma	!
	Director… you startled me.
Izumi	Sorry, sorry. I was just surprised to see you out here.
Tenma	I was just thinking about what to do for my Inste-live, I’m looking over the survey responses Kazunari compiled for me.
Izumi	Have you decided on anything?
Tenma	Yeah. I want to assemble a workout and stretch routine that women can do, which was the most popular response.
Izumi	Oh, there’s lots of young women who’d love to learn that!
Tenma	I don’t get many opportunities to teach women workouts, let alone Summer Troupe.
	Could you tell me what kind of workouts and stretches you’d like, Director?
Izumi	Hmm, let’s see. I’d prefer not to sweat much or bulk up a bunch of muscle…
	So I think something that I could easily do at home and would help me shape up or relax would be nice.
Tenma	I see, something easy to do…
	That helps, thanks.

Izumi	Let's get started, Tenma-kun.
Tenma	One second, we’re still waiting for one more person…
Banri	'Sup.
Izumi	Huh, Banri-kun?
Tenma	It’s better to have two people when teaching yoga, right? I asked Banri-san to join me.
Izumi	So that's why.
	I think we should start with Tenma-kun’s introduction, and then you can call Banri-kun onscreen.
Tenma	Okay.
Banri	Got it.
Izumi	Well then, let's begin!
Tenma	This is Sumeragi Tenma, from MANKAI Company’s Summer Troupe.
Viewer Comments	It’s Tenma-san!
	A Tenma-kun Inste-live, I’m crying tears of joy
	Can you see the comments, Tenma-kun?
Tenma	The comments? Yeah, I can see them.
	I’ve been thinking, and I decided that today I’m going to teach you all some simple yoga.
Viewer Comments	Thank you!
	If Tenma-kun’s the one teaching me I’m sure I can do it
Tenma	So, I have a guest today. Banri-san, come on out.
Banri	Hey, it’s Settsu Banri, from Autumn Troupe. I’ll be doing yoga with Tenma.
Viewer Comments	Tenma-kun and Banri-kun…
	I’m overjoyed~!
	I’m so happy
Tenma	Whoa, the comments are going so fast, I can barely read them.
Banri	Thanks for the comments, everyone.
Tenma	Now then, should we just jump right into the yoga? I’ll explain it to you while Banri-san demonstrates.
	Let’s start with the warrior pose.
	Take a big step forward with one foot, and move your other foot backwards.
	Put your hands together above you and…
Banri	It should look like this.
Viewer Comments	I’m actually trying to do it while watching!
	I’m so happy we’re doing it together~
Tenma	Did you get that, everyone? Next, let’s do the balancing cat pose.
	While on your hands and knees, extend your right arm forward, and your left leg backwards.
Banri	Like this.
Viewer Comments	It’s easy to follow along!
	Cats remind me of the Sardine play
	Doing yoga with both of you is awesome!
Izumi	It’s almost time to end it.
Tenma	Looks like we’re nearly out of time. Next will be the last one.
Banri	Since it’s the last one, why don’t we show Tenma doing yoga?
Tenma	Banri-san says so, but, do you guys want to see that?
Viewer Comments	I wanna see!
	Show us~
	Thank you, Banri-san!
Tenma	Alright. I guess you also want to see.
	Then, to finish us off, I’ll teach you while doing it.
	This is called the plank pose, but it’s also known as the board pose.
	Get on all fours, then straighten both legs backwards.
	Make sure your head and heels make a straight line.
Viewer Comments	Tenma-kun has such beautiful posture!
	Your arms are so strong, I can’t help but stare
Tenma	…Alright, that wraps up our yoga session.
Banri	Great job Tenma, everyone.
Tenma	After this, I take a selfie and post it to Inste, right?
	*camera shutter 3x*
Tenma	How’s that?
	With this many, at least one of them should get approved.
Viewer Comments	I can’t believe we even get to watch him take selfies…!
	He’s a natural!
	I guess Manager-san has to check over them
Banri	A few comments are asking if you have to go through a manager check.
Tenma	Yeah, I plan on posting it to the company Inste once I get them checked.
Viewer Comment	I’m excited for the photos~
Tenma	Thank you for watching the Inste-Live until the end.
CHOICE 1: It's been fun doing this together. [+] Viewer Comment Doing it together was fun! Tenma Yeah, I had fun too. It’s nice to be able to support each other like this. I like strength training, so I’ll make sure to teach you guys more workouts when I get the chance. Viewer Comments I want to train with Tenma-kun Please teach me again! Tenma Until then, are you all going to practice the yoga we showed you today? Viewer Comment Of course we will!
CHOICE 2: Thank you, Tenma-sensei! [+] Viewer Comment Thank you, Tenma-sensei! Tenma Tenma-sensei? Banri It’s true though, you taught everyone today, so you’re the teacher. Viewer Comment It was really easy to follow, Sensei! Tenma Being called Sensei is refreshing. If you want to be my student, that means you’re gonna do your yoga, right? Viewer Comments I'll be an excellent student! I’ll do my best for you, Sensei!
Viewer Comments	I’m going to continue yoga!
	I’ll tone up before going see your next movie!
Tenma	Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at the theater, too.
Banri	Thank you for always supporting MANKAI Company.
Tenma	See ya.
Izumi	Great job, guys. We had way more viewers than I expected!
Tenma	Well, obviously.
Banri	It’s a Sumeragi Tenma livestream.
Tenma	No, it’s also because Banri-san was there. Thank you for coming, you helped me out a ton.
Banri	I didn’t really do anything, though.
Izumi	Which photo are you posting on Inste? Since you need Igawa-san’s permission, I figured you’d want to pick one.
Tenma	Send them all to Igawa. I’ll choose from whichever ones get approved.
Izumi	Then I’ll let you know when I get a reply from Igawa-san.
Izumi	Tenma-kun, Igawa-san replied. Seems like there’s no issue with any of them, so which one are you going to pick?
Tenma	Right… Any of them is good, but what about this one?
Izumi	You look cool here, I’m sure your fans will be ecstatic to see it.
Tenma	Well, of course.
	Alright, I'll post it.
