Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	Kazunari-kun will be joining us for today's leader meeting, too.
Kazunari	Yoropiko~!
Banri	You think of something new again?
Kazunari	Exactly, Setzer! There's something I kinda wanted to do.
	Basically... I tried putting up a questionnaire to see what kinda things fans want us to do~!
Sakuya	A questionnaire?
Izumi	Yup. At Kazunari-kun's suggestion, we held one for all our fans.
Kazunari	Right now, thankfully, MANKAI Company's popularity has gone up by a ton!
Tenma	Right, so we have a lot of new fans.
Kazunari	Some of our long-time fans say we feel more distant lately, though, and that that makes them feel lonely.
	But no matter how popular we get, we wanna keep that familiar feeling there for all our fans, right?
Banri	I get it. So that's what the questionnaire was for.
Tsumugi	What did you get out of it?
Kazunari	The most common answer was that people wanna see more Inste livestreams and selfies from all of us!
Tenma	Some of us do hold livestreams less often than others.
Tsumugi	The same goes for selfies. We basically just leave posting them to whoever's good with social media.
Kazunari	Yup, yup! So, I suggest we start a special project featuring 24 days of consecutive solo livestreams and selfie parties!
Banri	Selfie parties?
Kazunari	We'll take selfies live on stream, and then upload them to Inste right after! That'll get everyone even more hyped!
Izumi	I asked Sakyo-san about it, too, and he said it's okay to do it as long as I watch over things to make sure no trouble comes up.
Kazunari	So with that said, it comes down to whether you're all okay with it... What do you think?
Sakuya	I wanna do it! As long as everyone's okay with it, of course, but...
	Personally, I'm really glad I'll have the chance to talk to our fans from behind the screen!
Tsumugi	I want to do it, too. It'll also help me understand how streams work better.
Tenma	We can't just spend the whole time chatting, though, right?
Kazunari	That's right, which is why I thought it'd be nice if each of us had another survey for our streams asking what fans want to see from us.
Banri	It'd be easier to know what to do that way.
Izumi	It'll be interesting to see how different each livestream turns out that way.
Kazunari	It's decided, then! Leave the form-making and data-gathering to me!
Sakuya	Thank you so much, Kazunari-san!
Izumi	Okay, leaders, please tell the rest of your troupe members about the livestream and selfie project plans.
Leaders	Got it!
Juza	...
Taichi	Juza-san, we're over here~!
Juza	...!
Tenma	So you got today's special, too.
Taichi	The crab cream croquette looks great!
Tsuzuru	Oh yeah, Juza, did you get the survey results for your solo livestream from Miyoshi-san?
Juza	I did.
Tenma	What kind of stuff is there?
Juza	How do I say this... There's a whole lotta different stuff.
Taichi	Yup, yup! I saw the results, too.
	Some people said they just wanna see Juza-san eating sweet stuff, and others wanna see him doing action scenes--
	There's a whole lot of answers, from things that made me go "Me too~!" to things that were like, "Why would you want this from Juza-san?"
Tsuzuru	That much action in a livestream would be something.
Tenma	And a solo stream at that.
Tsuzuru	So, have you decided what you're gonna do?
Juza	I'm still thinkin' about it.
Taichi	It must be tough choosing from so many different requests, huh~?
Juza	Yeah... Plus, honestly, I still don't even know what to talk about on stream.
Tenma	Yeah, you're not really the type who can easily hype an audience up with chatter.
Juza	Since I'll be streaming alone, I just wanna make the stream something all my viewers will enjoy...
Taichi	That's okay! Since it's a stream from someone who doesn't seem too used to doing it, all your fans are gonna love it!
Tsuzuru	You should just pick the requests that you think will be the easiest for you to do.
Tenma	Isn't there anything there that you really wanna do?
Juza	... Wax.
Tsuzuru	Hm?
Juza	There was something about wanting me to show them the hair wax I use.
Taichi	Oh, yeah! There were some people saying they wanna know how Juza does his hair.
Tsuzuru	Those are some hardcore fans.
Tenma	How you do your hair, huh? That sounds fun.
Juza	It's something I do regularly, so I probably won't have trouble streaming it on my own.
Tsuzuru	That might actually be a good idea, since there are a lot of fans who want to see a side of Juza they don't usually get to.
Juza	That so?
Taichi	That's the stan mindset!
Tenma	Even so, doing your hair live is definitely new.
Tsuzuru	If they wanna know how Juza does his hair, could the requests be from male fans who want to do their hair the same way?
Taichi	Juza-san probably has a bunch of fans so dedicated they wanna be just like him!
Tenma	It's something the audience will enjoy, and even more importantly, that Juza thinks he can handle. That works out, doesn't it?
Juza	...

Izumi	Juza-kun, you're almost up.
Juza	... Yeah.
Izumi	--
Juza	... Is something the matter?
Izumi	Ah, sorry, sorry.
	You're planning to teach people how you do your hair, right? I forgot you were going to have your hair down.
Juza	Yeah... I kinda feel nervous.
Izumi	The fans will probably be surprised to see you like this all of a sudden. It's something new even for me.
Juza	Still, I'll just be doing things like always.
Izumi	Okay, it's almost time, so do you want to start?
Juza	Yeah.
	... Can you hear me?
Comment	We can hear you~
Comment	His hair!!!
Comment	His hair is down!
Comment	His hair looks great like this, too!
Juza	... Hello. I'm Juza Hyodo from Autumn Troupe.
	Thank you for answering the survey. I got a lot of requests, but--
	Out of the ones I got, I'm choosing to respond to those of you who wanted to know how I do my hair.
Comment	Thanks to that, we got to see a rare Juza-kun!
Comment	Super grateful to whoever requested this
Comment	Roar~ lol
Juza	--
Comment	Juza-kun, say something
Comment	I can't hear anything but the hairdryer lol
Comment	We can't hear you!
Juza	Sorry, I didn't realize.
Comment	Cute
Juza	Okay, it's dry enough.
Comment	Juza-san's back to normal!
Comment	We got to see the prototype~
Juza	Next I'm gonna use wax and-- Ah, you wanted to see what I use.
	I usually use this... hard type? Kind of wax.
Comment	Where can I buy it~?
Juza	I don't remember, but... I think it was at a pharmacy around here.
Comment	A pharmacy around there!
Comment	It's just like him to not say "drugstore" lol
Comment	Do you always use the same one?
Juza	No, it's not like I'm set on this brand. I just buy whatever I see at the time.
	Oh yeah, I did get this wax Azami recommended recently.
	I wonder if I should've used that here...
Comment	It's totally okay!
Comment	You can use that for the next stream
Juza	Next stream? I wonder if there'll be another... Well, I guess so.
	Okay, I'm gonna continue doing my hair now.
	I mean, not that there's that much to it...
	I just take some wax in my hand and run it through my hair like this, that's all.
Comment	That's super simple!
Comment	That's the usual Juza-san.
Juza	This is just my own way of doing it, so if you wanna know how to do it properly you should probably ask Azami.
Comment	That's the Juza style!
CHOICE 1: How cool [+] Comment Juza-san, you're so cool! Comment Even as a man myself, he's seriously admirable. Comment Looks like there are a lot of male fans watching too Juza -- Male fans... Comment Even if we're not commenting, we're watching Comment Juza-san has a lot of male fans after all Juza ... I see. Thank you for your comments.
CHOICE 2: Any pointers? [+] Comment Do you have any special points about doing your hair Juza style? Juza Points? I haven't really thought of any. Somehow I just really don't like having my hair in my face, so I keep it back like this. Comment That's such a simple reason! Juza Sorry for not having a deep reason. Comment That's the Juza-kun we know Juza ? I see.
Comment	It was really fun seeing how you do your hair!
Comment	That was helpful.
Juza	... So, that's pretty much it for my personal stream.
Comment	It's ending already?

Comment	Kumon-kun should do his hair Juza-kun style too~
Comment	Yeah, the big brother should teach his little bro!
Kumon	Huh!? Really?
Juza	I don't mind, but--
Izumi	Since he's already here, go for it!
Juza	Since we got permission, let's do it.
Kumon	Yaaay!
Comment	Hype!
Kumon	So I take the wax... like this?
Juza	Yeah, maybe a bit more... No, your hair's short so this is enough.
Comment	What a sweet big brother
Comment	This is so precious
Juza	-- Okay, that should be good.
Kumon	Yaaay, we did it!
Comment	Request: Screenshot time
Comment	I want a shot of the brothers

Comment	Finger heart
Kumon	Oh, but you haven't taken the selfies to post after the stream yet, right!?

Juza	Thanks.
Kumon	Sorry for bursting in like that! But that was fun~.
Izumi	That really did surprise me.
Juza	I'm glad the people watching seemed to like it, though.
Izumi	Yeah, and we didn't go over time so it's all good.
Kumon	I'm glad, then!
Izumi	Juza-kun, please think about which picture you want to upload to Inste.
Juza	I don't think there's much of a difference between any of them.
Kumon	Let me see! ... That's my Nii-chan! That serious look! They're all so cool!
Juza	... Should we use this one?
Izumi	Yeah, I think that's good!
