Announcer << Unfortunately due to technical difficulties we will not be able to provide subtitles for the performance. Instead we will be handing out a synopsis so we ask for your understanding a cooperation. >> Audience A << Huh, no subs? How are we supposed to understand what’s happening? >> Audience B << Hey, pass me a copy of the synopsis over here! >> Citron I guess it was just a technical error after all. I think we really owe those two an apology for falsely suspecting them. Guy It was just an unfortunate coincidence, I can understand why people had their suspicions Azuma Speaking of those two, did you manage to invite them to the performance? Citron Of course! Guy Mika and the others said even if they had to drag them by their heels, they would make sure they made it. Itaru For some reason this sounds like a very troubling situation. Citron If that’s what we have to do, that’s what we’ll do. Those two can be so suck burn! Chikage Stubborn, right? Citron Yeah, that! Itaru Sighhhhh.. Citron What’s up? Itaru Are you this antsy because you’re nervous? Homare Who wouldn’t be in this situation? Citron is no different from us. I am sure he is just as nervous as we are. Citron Yeah, I think Itaru is right, I think I am just a bit anxious. I can’t help but feel the pressure from the audience, especially given the nature of our performance. Despite my experience standing in front of others as a member of the royal family, I don’t think anything could have prepared me for this. As a prince, I always needed to be careful with my words and really think about how they would resonate with others. Itaru Well then, how about giving a little opening statement? Izumi Yeah, Kabuki shows have that sometimes. Itaru I remember you gave some opening remarks before our preview performance. It gave the audience some more context for the play and I felt like it really helped warm them up to the performance itself. I think you should go and give an opening statement, I just have this hunch. Citron .. Alright. I’ll give an opening skate rink. Masumi Statement. Azuma “Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen!” Citron .. << Hello everyone, I am Citronia, the Minister of Foreign Arts and Culture. For as long as I could remember, I have always yearned for something more beyond our small island. However, due to my situation it was not that easy for me to cross the oceans. I remember looking at tourist guides and maps, planning out where I would like to go. The places I saw in guidebooks and maps were very limited and I knew there was more out there. I wanted to see everything. I knew there was more waiting for me, things I could not even have imagined. The world is filled with different people, different languages, and different philosophies. I thought that if I could dream of another place, or find interest in another culture, that maybe, just maybe, that would be enough to transport me into another world. So tonight I invite you all to see the lovely world of traditional Japanese culture that my dear friends and I have prepared for you. This play is my dream come true and I hope it can inspire you too. >> Izumi (Amazing. Citron’s opening speech seems to have really touched the audience and I feel an overwhelming sense of warmth all around. I am sure this will be enough to ease the anxiety of the others and make this a great performance.)
