Izumi (The first person to film for Winter Troupe’s commemorative video is Tsumugi-san. I wonder if he’s in his room.) Excuse me. I’ve come to film for the commemorative video. Tsumugi Thank you for your hard work, director. I’ve just been reading over the script of our debut performance. Izumi Wow, there are so many notes..! Tsumugi It’s kind of nostalgic. During that performance, we were so anxious and under pressure from the fact that we had to defeat GOD-za.. But while we were acting, it was so much fun. Izumi If you could mention that in the commentary or comment, that would be great. Tsumugi Alright, I’m looking forward to working with you. Izumi So first, I’ll explain how filming will work. You’ll choose a scene from the shows that you led based on a topic, and create commentary and a short comment while watching video footage. You’ll choose the topic by rolling this dice. After that, I’ll record the commentary. Feel free to comment on anything. Tsumugi I understand. Well then, I’ll roll the dice.. Izumi Tsumugi-san’s topic is “Best Performance”! Tsumugi Best performance.. … I’m sorry, director. I understand I’m being selfish, but can we change the topic? Izumi What? Tsumugi I can’t think of a best performance… Of course, I gave it the best I could back then. But when I look back at the footage, I feel like I can’t call any of them my best performance. Even if I compromised and chose one, I feel like I would be told “This one?” by the rest of the Winter Troupe. Especially by Tasuku. Izumi (Ahaha… I can see that.) Tsumugi I do have a lot of stories where I messed up, though… Izumi I understand. To make it fair, how about you roll the dice one more time? Tsumugi Thank you so much! Let me roll it again. Izumi “A Time You Made a Mistake”...! Wow.. You’re so lucky to have gotten the topic you wanted. Tsumugi Ahaha, I got lucky. Izumi Alright, so which scene will you choose? Tsumugi I made a lot of mistakes during that show. I guess the biggest was when I suddenly changed up my acting the second to last performance. Izumi Oh, I remember... That takes me back. Tsumugi But everyone knows about that. What else was memorable.. Yeah, maybe that. It was very difficult to deal with those angel wings. It’s a mistake I made that has to do with them. Izumi (It’s the third night of performances. Michael has begun exchanging letters with her, and he gives Phillip a letter again.) Michael “I cannot meet her directly, so I hope that this letter will be able to energize her.” Michael “Somehow..” Phillip “Hi, Michael. You came.” Michael “Hello. Can you give her this letter again today?” Phillip “Yes, I’ll hold onto it.” Michael “..!” Here, a feather fell off after getting caught on the letter. We wanted to make the letter stand out more, so we made it larger than it was on the first day of performances. When we tried it out before it worked fine, but I messed up during the real performance. Then Azuma-san picked up the fallen feather. Phillip “Hm? It’s a pretty feather. It’s as if it’s an angel feather.” Michael “Of course not! It’s probably from some migrating bird.” Phillip “I know that. But I think that she’ll be happy if she sees this. I’ll bring it with the letter.” Michael “...If she smiles... I’m sure that bird will be happy too.” Izumi (Azuma-san’s adlib and Tsumugi-san’s line that followed it.. They handled the feather situation well, and the atmosphere they created is perfect.) Tsumugi I was saved by Azuma-san, even though it was his debut show. As expected of Azuma-san to be able to afford ad libbing to follow up on the situation. Izumi It didn’t feel out of place at all, and the acting was so confident... it was amazing. Tsumugi Azuma-san said that he was actually very panicked, so he was happy that it seemed that way. Izumi Tsumugi-san chose this scene as a mistake, but.. I love this scene because it brings out how lovable Michael is while also having a bittersweet tone. Tsumugi Thank you so much. If that's what you were going to say, maybe I should have gotten the topic “An Unexpected Success” instead. Izumi We’re finished with the commentary recording. Good work! Tsumugi Thank you very much. Izumi It seems Tasuku-san is outside right now. Is he working out or playing soccer? Tsumugi Ahaha, if it’s not acting, it’s one of those two, right? It’s actually not either, though. Homare-san’s kotatsu is acting up, so he went to go repair it. It has to be repaired today... Izumi (? I wonder why. Is it because it’s cold today?) Tsumugi Anyways, could you please leave your schedule open for tonight? Izumi ? Alright, I can. Izumi Wah!? Tasuku Oh, my bad. I didn’t think you would be in front of the door. Izumi I’m sorry too. I was just about to knock. Did you manage to fix the kotatsu? Homare Ah, director-kun. As you can see, Tasuku-kun fixed it right up. Tasuku Hah.. it’s because you fuss over texture and buy an old one. Homare Good grief, it appears Tasuku-kun doesn’t understand art. Tasuku Art doesn’t have anything to do with a kotatsu.. Well, it’s fine. Arisugawa has to be filmed, right? I’ll go back to my room for now. Izumi Alright! I’ll head there once it’s your turn. Tasuku Yeah, I’ll see you later. Izumi Is Hisoka out? Homare The kotatsu broke, so he’s evacuated to the lounge kotatsu. Tasuku-kun’s fixed this kotatsu, so let’s warm up and film. Izumi Okay! Here’s the dice to choose the topic with. Homare Hm.. A nice dice, rolling about on the kotatsu stage.. Izumi “A Time You Made a Mistake”... it’s the same as Tsumugi-san, who went before you. Homare What? Is that so? Hmm, it won’t be interesting like that. Am I permitted to reroll? Izumi It’s fine if you two have the topic, though? I guess it would be weird if everyone only got to listen to times the Winter Troupe messed up, though- Homare Yes- Hah, poetic inspiration has welled up in me! Izumi !? Homare Ah, the mischievous spirit of the dice, an outlaw’s free throw, rock on with rock’n’roll! Izumi (If I don’t stop him, this will be the scenario where he keeps on reading out poems for ages..!) Uh, uh.. So let’s roll the dice one more time! Homare-san, I’ll leave it to you! Homare Oh, is it fine? Izumi (I would prefer this to the poetry continuing..) Homare Then let this be revenge. Dear dice, give us a topic once again! Izumi This time the topic is “A Time You Got Goosebumps”. Homare Oh, I have one just for that! It’s a scene from our second to last performance. Izumi (It’s the scene where Shiki forces Soma Keiichi to tell him the truth.) Keiichi “Kusanagi-sama promised to continue to give me aid even after her death.” Keiichi “I cannot afford to ruin that all because of something like this-” Sagishima “So that is the reason you threatened Shiki-sama.” Keiichi “Being of higher class makes some things difficult, but there are things you can only do in that position.” Keiichi “There’s nothing wrong with using that to get what I want. Don’t you agree?” Shiki “What greed. Be ashamed.” Keiichi “...Greed? Being ashamed?” Keiichi “Ha..hahaha…” Izumi (Keiichi’s defiant acting with a tinge of insanity..) Homare Here, I made eye contact with Keiichi. Sagishima “...” Keiichi “A butler like you will never understand.” Sagishima “...!” Homare I got goosebumps that moment. Izumi I get it.. The way he lifts his head to the way he holds his gaze.. You could really see the dark, greedy part of Keiichi despite him usually acting like a nice young man. Homare Yes. I actually would have liked to respond as Sagishima but I couldn’t. I find that regrettable. It was something achievable because it was done by Tsumugi-kun. His evil roles are unsurpassable. Izumi (There’s a big gap from the usual quiet and calm vibe he gives off, but Tsumugi-san is amazing in the way he perfects dark, twisted roles.) Homare Now, we have to film the comment! Izumi Yes. Let me just set up the camera. (Just stand the tripod.. Here we go.) *Homare looks at his pocket watch* Homare ... Izumi That watch really is a mystery, isn’t it.. Does it still not move? Homare Yes. I kind of feel the flow of time - but that’s odd, isn’t it. The hands don’t move anymore. Izumi No. Even if the hands don’t move, it still tells you that time has passed - I think it’s a beautiful watch. Homare Thank you. Even if it is broken, it’s my proud treasure. Hm, I think that’s good. Izumi (Hah, i-it’s finally over.. It’s been a while from when he started reading poetry..) Homare How was it, director-kun? Every poem was wonderful, were they not? Izumi Yes, of course! (But it is long for a comment.. I guess I’ll have to cut it..)
