Azuma Go ahead. Izumi Excuse me- Azuma Fufu, I’ll give you a ticket in thanks. Talk to you another time. Welcome. Sorry for keeping you waiting, director. Izumi Don’t worry about it - I’m sorry for interrupting your call. Azuma It’s fine. I was actually talking to Asajo-san. Izumi Really! Is she doing well? Azuma Yes. Recently she’s been obsessed with theater. Izumi Fufu, that makes me kinda happy. (I remember Asajo-san was very helpful during our third show.) Azuma You came to film for the commemorative video, right? Let’s get started. Izumi Okay! First, please use this dice to choose the topic for your commentary scene. Azuma I wonder what topic I’ll get. It says my topic is “A Time You Got Goosebumps”. Izumi (Again..) Actually, Homare-san, who I just filmed, had the same topic - “A Time You Got Goosebumps”. Azuma Really? Hm.. It won’t be interesting if we have the topic. Izumi (Azuma-san’s saying the same things as Homare-san..) Azuma Hey, director. I want to have a reroll. Just one more time.. Is it ok? Izumi A-azuma-san, you’re too close..! (I guess the previous two have also rerolled..) I-i understand. Please roll one more time. Azuma Fufu, thanks director ♪ This time, the topic is.. “Free”? Izumi “Free” means the cameraman, me in this case, thinks of the topic. Azuma Okay. I’m happy to have director think of a topic for me. What topic are you going to give me? Izumi Hm, let me think.. Ah! How about “A Time You Burst Out Laughing?” Azuma Burst out laughing? Izumi For Nocturnality, putting aside scenarios, it was very effect heavy with a lot of lighting and background music. Azuma You’re right, and the costumes were very chic as well. Izumi Exactly. So, if there was a moment you laughed because of something like that, I would like you to tell me. How does that sound? Azuma I see. That’s a fun topic. Fufu, then it’s definitely that scene. Izumi (It’s the fourth night of performances - it’s the scene where Reo tells Kota that he’ll have to leave his apartment.) Reo “I’ve been in your care for a long time now. I wasn’t supposed to stay for this long, but it was just so comfortable.” Kota “You don’t need to be in such a hurry. You’ve been helping me out too.” Izumi (Despite seeming lonely, Kota accepts that Reo will leave.) (Maybe it’s because we all went to the ocean together the day before the performances started, but they seem tired which helps bring out a raw, realistic element to their acting.) Kota “Come on, let’s celebrate your new start and drink tonight.” “First, let’s toast with a beer-” “!?” Azuma Here, Kota’s.. I mean, Tasuku’s stomach started growling. Izumi And if the theater is small, the audience can hear these kinds of things easily. Reo “Do you want me to cook something?” Kota “Yeah… sorry about that.” Reo “How about that seafood pasta you like?” Kota “Really? That pasta’s so good…” Azuma We kept it going with an adlib, but it was so difficult to keep myself from laughing then. Izumi Haha, everyone was laughing in the wings. (But that scene really showed how close the two got and made their separation even sadder.) Azuma If I choose this scene, I wonder if Tasuku will get mad at me. But director’s the one who chose the topic, so I guess we’re partners in crime. Izumi Ahaha, I guess you’re right. Izumi Thank you very much, now we’re done with filming the comment as well! Azuma Do I look good in the recording? Izumi Azuma-san always looks pretty, regardless of where I’m filming. Your skin looks perfect again today as well! Azuma Really? That makes me happy. Guy Excuse me. Is it okay for me to come in now? Azuma Ah, Guy. Sorry for keeping you waiting and having you leave for a little. Guy I don’t mind. I want the first time I see your comment to be when I see the official recording. Izumi (So that’s why Guy-san was out.) Azuma Well, now I’ll take my leave. Director, thanks for filming me. I’ll be looking forward to your comment, Guy. Good luck. Guy Okay. Izumi Good work, Azuma-san! Azuma Ah, I almost forgot. Guy, about that - it’s ready, so let’s go pick it up later. Guy Thank you. I also want to go shopping, so I’ll get my car out. Izumi What’s ready? Azuma Fufu, you’ll learn tonight. Well, see you later. Izumi (Thinking back on it, Tsumugi-san told me to keep my schedule open for tonight. I wonder if they have something planned.) Guy Director, I ask that you film me next. Izumi Ah, yes! I look forward to working with you. Here’s the dice to pick the topic with. Guy ….. Izumi ? What’s wrong? Guy Nothing, I just remembered how when we were still living in the Royal Palace, Citronia used to love watching a show where they rolled dice like this. Izumi (Citron-kun watching a Japanese talk show in the Zahran Royal Palace.. It feels surreal when I try to imagine it.) Guy Let’s try rolling it. I got “A Time You Made a Mistake”. Izumi (It’s the same as Tsumugi-san’s! It’s amazing that they keep getting the same ones.) Guy A time I made a mistake, huh.. Hm… ………. Izumi Guy-san? Are you frozen!? Guy No, I’m fine. It’s just I have so many stories of times I made mistakes and can’t choose one. I apologize, I’ll choose one soon. ……….. Izumi (He stopped moving again!) U-um! How about we change the topic! If you would like to, please roll the dice one more time! Here you go! Guy Is that okay? I apologize. Izumi This time, it’s “An Unforgettable Scene”! Guy There are a lot of these too. Izumi Is it the last scene of the day we had the power outage? Guy Of course, that last scene where everyone supported me is very important. But I’ve watched footage of that scene before, and because of the power outage, it’s pitch black. Izumi Oh, you’re right.. Guy But, there’s one more scene that I remember vividly. I’ll choose that one. Izumi (This is the 5th day, the scene where the Phantom and Richard get into a fight) Phantom “I’ve held on for all these years to have my revenge.” Richard “Let go of me! P-painful..” “You ugly apparition. You should be constrained and lonely in hell.” “You have no right to be on this dazzling stage!” Phantom “…!” Chris “Erik, you can’t! If you attack him, you will never be allowed back on stage! I want to hear you sing!” Phantom “——” Izumi (Richard’s line right now was an adlib.. It’s a line that was cut during rehearsals.) (But the way the Phantom expresses anger after being provoked with this line adds impact to the scene.) Guy Back then, I couldn’t say the line “The curtain hasn’t fallen yet”, and everyone helped me practice. Arisugawa added that line during that as a way to help me. Arisugawa told me then - “I thought that Guy-san might actually be quite a competitive person, so I put that line in—” “I guess I wasn’t completely wrong.” Izumi I see. Guy I didn’t fully understand then.. After that, during Die by the Sword, I was told the same thing by Takato and finally got it. Izumi Fufu, I didn’t know that. Guy The rest of the Winter Troupe helped find a me I didn’t even know about through acting. Though I am exasperated with myself for even thinking that I was an android despite being this age… With the Winter Troupe, I was able to regain myself. Again, I would like to thank you and Citronia for allowing me into MANKAI Company. Izumi I’m also happy that Guy-san is part of the company. Thank you. If you mention those feelings of yours in the comment, I’m sure everyone will appreciate it. Guy Ah, that’s a good idea. Izumi Good work with the filming. Guy After me, it’s Takato, right? Izumi Yes. Isn’t Guy-san going to go out with Tsumugi-san? You were talking about getting something ready.. What are you doing tonight? Guy It’s nothing special.. Actually, it’s something we do often.. I can’t tell you as Yukishiro has sworn me to secrecy, but look forward to tonight.
