Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Ah, Yuki-kun. Sorry for calling you over here all of a sudden.
Yuki	It’s fine, what did you want to talk about?
Izumi	To tell you the truth, we received a request for you to make a guest appearance in a video project.
Yuki	Heeeh, from who?
Izumi	It’s from actor Ibuki Asayama, who all of you in 6NATZ have co-starred with on the show several times before.
Yuki	Ah, so the plan is to coordinate?
Izumi	Right! Did you happen to hear something about this already?
Yuki	Yeah, when we were on the show last time I was told that they wanted me to come back again.
	The plan sounds fun as well, I’m in.
Izumi	Alright, then I’ll let them know that you’re going to be participating.
	[Later]
Yuki	(Hmm…I think it’d be better to add some more circular designs.)
	[Knocking]
Yuki	Y—es.
Kazunari	It’s almost dinner time…huh, is that the next necklace you’re planning on making!?
Yuki	Hey, no looking.
Kazunari	I’m interested, so could you show me!
Yuki	Don’t want to. I’m in the middle of thinking of the design, so I’ll show you when I’m done.
Kazunari	Can’t be helped I suppose, I’m looking forward to the finished product.
	Granted, if you were to start an accessory brand Yukki, it’d get a whole bunch of attention!
Yuki	…But we’d have to spread the word. I’d also like to make a clothing brand someday.
Kazunari	If it’s you Yukki, then you’ll def be able to do it! I guarantee it.
Yuki	What’s with the confidence?
Kazunari	It’s cuz I’ve always been watching you Yukki~
	Ah, speaking of which, I heard you got a video project offer from Ibuki-kun.
Yuki	Word got around quick, huh.
Kazunari	Izumi-chan had told me when I went to the office earlier.
	I’m pretty sure the plan is to coordinate an outfit for Ibuki-kun, yeah?
Yuki	That’s right.
	I was looking at this magazine earlier and before I knew it, I had started thinking of things that’ll suit Ibuki.
Kazunari	Once you receive an offer like that, your gears start turning right away~
	Ah, but but, when your clothing brand takes off you have to make sure that we’re the first ones you coordinate outfits for!
Yuki	Well, I’ll think about it.
Kazunari	But I wanted you to say that you’ll do it!

Yuki	Looking forward to working with yo—u.
Ibuki	Yuki-kun! Thank you for accompanying me today. I’m super duper happy you decided to participate!
Yuki	I also wanted to participate, so I’m happy you reached out.
Ibuki	I’m so glad~ Also, the clothes you’re wearing today are super cute Yuki-kun!
Yuki	Right? I chose this because the design is really cute.
Ibuki	That said, we should have this conversation in front of the camera.
Yuki	Right.
Staff	We will start filming soon!
Ibuki	O—k. Alright Yuki-kun, I’m looking forward to it!
Yuki	Yeah, same.
	[Later]
Ibuki	The guest we have brought today is none other than 6NATZ’s Yuki-kun! The fashionable Yuki-kun here will be coordinating an outfit for me~!
	I’m looking forward to working with you today, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	Same here.
Ibuki	Now before we start, could we hear what you’re eager about, Yuki-kun?
Yuki	Eager?
Ibuki	Yeah. Like today’s theme, or what direction you’re planning on going with.
Yuki	Since I’m the one who’s doing the coordinating, I’m sure I’ll be able to piece together something that will suit you.
Ibuki	So dependable…!
	Then, let’s start shopping. You can go to whatever store you want, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	Got it. …Ah, can we go here?
Ibuki	Of course!
Yuki	Ibuki, you usually prefer somewhat loose clothing, right?
Ibuki	Yeah, I usually like loose fitting clothing~ Also, you’ve really been paying attention!
Yuki	More or less. But your body lines are fairly pretty, so wearing something that enhances your silhouette would be good.
Ibuki	I’ve definitely been preferring comfortable stuff lately.
Yuki	Ah, this jacket would be nice. Which color do you like?
Ibuki	The grey’s cute~
Yuki	Then let’s go with the grey one.
Tenma	…Yuki?
Yuki	…ugh, you guys came here to shop too.
Banri	…Ah, are ya in the middle of filmin’?
Ibuki	That’s right…! Could we have you appear on camera for a moment?
Tenma	Sorry for not realizing when I called out to you. Yeah, go ahead.
Ibuki	Thank you very much!
Tenma	Oh right, you said you had plans to coordinate an outfit, huh.
Banri	Can’t go wrong with somethin’ Yuki picks out.
Ibuki	He’s definitely very fashionable!
Yuki	Of course I am.
Tenma	….If we hang around any longer, we’ll be interrupting your shoot.
Banri	Then, we’ll be goin’. Good luck.
Yuki	Yeah yeah.
Ibuki	Those two must be really close to be going shopping together from outside of their groups~
Yuki	Well, they probably go shopping together pretty frequently. Anyways, let’s continue from here.
	[Later]
Kumon	The video you made a guest appearance in is going pretty viral, isn’t it Yuki!?
Misumi	Right~! I was really happy when I saw a whole bunch of comments on how cute your outfit is!
Muku	I heard that the clothes you picked out are selling out at the store, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	Seems like it. The clothes I picked out were so cute that I even ended up contemplating on whether I should buy them, but I think I’ll have to hold off on that for a while.
	…And to tell you the truth, I’ve been getting some job offers from fashion companies after that video was released.
Kumon	Eh, really!?
Misumi	Yuki, that’s amazing! You’re really landing your next job.
Muku	I hope more people will come across your fashionable side, Yuki-kun.
Yuki	Yeah, I’ll try everything I can.
	(I feel like I’ve taken a step closer in being able to launch a clothing brand….I should make sure to thank Ibuki properly next time.)
