Izumi So Itaru-san and Citron-kun will start attending practices from today onwards. And Tsuzuru-kun will be absent in order to write the script. Citron Please take care of me. Itaru I may cause some trouble since I don't have any acting experience, but I'll look forward to working with you guys. Sakuya Are you done preparing for moving, Itaru-san? Itaru I've already brought all the necessary things with my car, so I just have to wait for the movers to bring the rest next week. Sakuya You have a car, huh! So cool! Itaru If you ever need a ride, just tell me and I'll drive you. Izumi (What an adult...!) If that so, we'll be relying on you when that time comes. Itaru Sure. Izumi (He's reliable. Neither the manager or the other guys are adult-like, so this is kinda fresh.) Well then, today we'll start by warming up and doing vocal exercises as usual. Next, I'd like you to do a simple pantomime. You have to explain a situation to your partner with only movements, no speaking. I'll give out the topic and the others have to guess what kind of situation it is. For starters, you can think of it as a game. First up is Sakuya-kun. Sakuya Yes! Izumi Sakuya-kun, try playing "someone who is preparing to go out". Sakuya Roger! Izumi Start! Sakuya ..... Citron I got it! It's Bon festival dance. Izumi Wrong. Itaru A robot? Izumi Wrong. (But his awkward movements look like a robot, indeed...) Masumi He broke his bones, so he can't move. Izumi Nope, wrong. Sakuya ..... Citron I wonder what the answer is. Itaru Hmm... Izumi Okay, time's up. The correct answer was "someone who is preparing to go out." Sakuya I tried stuff like brushing my teeth and combing my hair, but... Citron I couldn't tell at all. Itaru It's a little bit hard. Sakuya Ugh... Izumi (I guess Sakuya-kun is an awkward person.) Next up is Masumi-kun. Masumi What should I do? Izumi Try expressing "waiting for someone." Masumi Understood. ..... Sakuya Are you looking for something? Izumi Ah, you're close. Citron It looks like he's waiting for something. Izumi That one is also close. Itaru I got it. He's waiting for someone. Izumi Correct! Masumi Did I do a good job? Izumi Yup, yup. (Masumi-kun is good at pantomime. He does it really well.) Next is Itaru-san. Please come here. Itaru Don't be too hard on me. Izumi (I think Itaru-san and Citron-kun did a good job for beginners. I'm sure they can improve over time.) Okay, so the next topic is——. Itaru The practice is supposed to end at 9, right? Izumi Ah, I'm sorry. It's already time, huh. Sakuya I still can go on! Citron I'd like to extend the service. Izumi Please don't say something like that, we look like we have some shady business here. Masumi If I can be with you until dawn, I wouldn't mind. Izumi That's indecent! Itaru Hmmm, but you still have school tomorrow, so don't push yourself too hard. Besides, I also have to work. Izumi Yes, you're right. Let's call it a day. Sakuya Uh, can I do vocal exercises for a little longer? Izumi Just for 30 minutes, okay? Citron I'll accompany you. Masumi I'll stay too if you're still here. Itaru Then, I'll head back to my room. Thank you for today. Izumi (Itaru-san is acting kinda carefree. I guess that's because he doesn't really want to take part in the theatre in the first place...) Sakuya Sally sells seashells by the seashore! Citron Sally— sells— shore—! Sakuya It's Sally sells, seashells, by the seashore, Citron-san. Citron Sells— sells— shellsea—! Sakuya That's wrong. Citron Japanese is hard. Izumi (Citron-kun's problem lies in his Japanese, huh. He does look motivated, but I'd like him to improve his Japanese skills before the performance.) Citron Sally— bells— sea—! Yeaaay—! Izumi (...I can't help but keep worrying about him.)

Episode 7: Many Troubles Ahead

Izumi So starting today Itaru-san and Citron-kun will be joining practice. Tsuzuru-kun will be absent due to scriptwriting. Citron Let’s get along. Itaru I have no acting experience, so I might trouble you, but please take care of me. Sakuya Itaru-san, are you done getting ready to move in? Itaru I brought everything I needed in my car; everything else, the moving company will bring next week. Sakuya You have a car! That’s so cool! Itaru If you ever need a ride, let me know. Izumi (He’s an adult...!) Then I’ll ask for your help if something comes up. Itaru Of course. Izumi (He’s so reliable. The manager is out of the question, and there wasn’t a single adult among the troupe members, so this feels kind of refreshing.) Today we’ll begin with stretches and vocal exercises as usual. Izumi Next, I’ll have everyone do simple pantomimes. You won’t have any lines, so convey the situation to the audience solely through gestures. I’ll tell one person what the topic is; everyone else has to figure out the situation. Just think of it as a game for now. First is Sakuya-kun. Sakuya Yes! Izumi Sakuya-kun, your job is to act out that you’re “about to head out” through gestures. Sakuya Understood! Izumi Start! Sakuya .... Citron I know! It’s a bon-odori! Izumi Bzzt. Itaru A robot? Izumi Bzzt. (His awkward movements can look like a robot’s....) Masumi He broke a bone and can’t move. Izumi Bz-zzzt.. Sakuya .... Citron I wonder what it is. Itaru Hmm.... Izumi Time’s up. The answer was “about to head out.” Sakuya I tried brushing my teeth and brushing my hair, but... Citron I couldn’t tell. Itaru I think it was a little hard to tell. Sakuya Uu... Izumi (I guess Sakuya-kun is clumsy?) Okay, next is Masumi-kun. Masumi What should I do? Izumi You’re going to be “waiting for someone.” Masumi Got it. .... Sakuya You’re looking for something? Izumi Ah, close. Citron He’s waiting for something. Izumi Also close. Itaru I know. He’s waiting for someone. Izumi Correct! Masumi Was that good? Izumi Yup yup. (Masumi-kun is good at pantomimes too. He’s really an all-rounder.) Next, Itaru-san please. Itaru Go easy on me. Izumi (Itaru-san and Citron-kun receive passing marks for beginners. With more experience, they’ll probably grow more proficient.) The next topic is—. Itaru Practice was supposed to be till 9, right? Izumi Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was 9 already. Sakuya I can still keep practicing! Citron I’ll provide extended service. Izumi Don’t make this sound like a sketchy job. Masumi If you’re here, I don’t mind staying till morning. Izumi Inappropriate! Itaru Hm, but you have school tomorrow; you shouldn’t push yourselves too hard. I have work too. Izumi Y-you’re right. We’ll end here for today. Sakuya Um, can I stay and practice vocal exercises for a bit longer? Izumi For 30 minutes, yes. Citron I’ll join you. Masumi I’ll stay if you will. Itaru Then I’ll be going. Nice work. Izumi (Itaru-san is pretty casual about this. It might be because he wasn’t interested in theater to begin with, but...) Sakuya Amembo akaina aiueo! Citron Ame—aka—uo—! Sakuya It’s amembo, akaina, aiueo, Citron-san. Citron Aka—aka—mambo—! Sakuya No, that’s not it. Citron Japanese is hard. Izumi (Citron-kun’s biggest hurdle is clearly Japanese. But he seems motivated, so I hope he’ll improve at least a little by the time our performance comes around.) Citron Ame—yoko—yaaay! Foo! Izumi (...I’m incredibly concerned.)
