“SPOTLIGHT EV: Side Alumni - CHAPTER 3"
Kuraki: Minagi, Miyoshi. It’s nice of you to come over.
Oohara: Hello! It’s been a while!
Kogawa: You guys came to see us? I’m so glad…!!
Tsuzuru: Hey you two. Kuraki-sensei, as well. It’s been a while.
Kazunari: Good to see everyone’s doing well~! Thanks for inviting us!
Oohara: Of course. We’re also glad we got your permission to let us perform a rerun of the Setsubun play’s script!
Tsuzuru: I want to see you guys perform, after all. When I heard you guys wanted to do a rerun, I was ecstatic.
Kazunari: Me too! But what made you guys want to try doing a rerun in the first place?
Kogawa: Actually, the theatre club has been getting more and more members. Now we have enough to fill in the roles for that same script.
Kuraki: There have been so many students who wanted to join the theatre club after watching that play during the Setsubun Festival.
We’ve really gotten so many more members since then. It’s all thanks to Minagi and everyone.
Oohara: Also, we saw how MANKAI Company took on sequels for your plays, even nabbing a nomination for the Fleur Award….
That inspired us to try and take on our own challenges as well.
Kogawa: That’s why we wanted to see if you could do the play that we performed with MANKAI Company before— but now our very own theatre club members instead.
And that’s only one of the challenges we wanted to take on!
Tsuzuru: I see. If you guys came up with this from watching us, then the honor is ours.
Kazunari: Awh, aren’t you guys just the sweetest…!! Good on you guys to challenge yourselves! We’ll be really rooting for you guys, okay!
Tsuzuru: Yeah. If we can, we’ll be happy to help in any way
Oohara: Thank you so much! If it’s okay to ask then, can you watch our rehearsal today and give us advice on anything we need to work on?
Also, for the rerun, we asked a friend who’s in the art club to help us with the flyer design.
He said he wanted Miyoshi-san to take a look at his draft if that’s okay…
Kazunari: Huh, me?
Oohara: Yes. As a designer himself, he said he’s a fan of you, Miyoshi-san.
Kazunari: FR?! Wow, is it me, or am I getting a ton of new fans these days~?
Tsuzuru: You could at least not say that out loud yourself.
Oohara: Our friend said that he’ll come over soon—— Oh, speak of the devil!
Kogawa: Maki, over here!
Maki: G-Good afternoon…! N-Nice to meet you. Miyoshi-san, Minagi-san…!
My name is Maki, 2nd year. I’m part of the art club. I feel v-very honored to meet one of my idols here!!
Kazunari: Heya~ Nice to meet you! No need to be so anxious you know~
Maki: Y-Yes! Thank you very much!
(exhales) … I’m still so nervous though… Uhm, if it’s okay, could you please take a look at my flyer’s design right away?
Kazunari: Of course!
Kogawa: We’ll be over there doing rehearsals in the meantime. Please call for us anytime if you need us!
Kuraki: I’ll be with the theatre members as well, so feel free to ask us anything if you must.
Kazunari: Roger dodger! What about you, Tsuzuroon? Wanna take a look at the flyer draft together while you’re here?
Tsuzuru: Sure. I’m curious to see it myself too. Is that alright?
Maki: Of c-course!! Uhm, here! The draft.
Kazunari: WOAH! This has some crazy quality stuff!
Tsuzuru: You’re right. You can really feel that it’s set in a world of oni with this. That’s amazing.
Maki: It’s not… At all….
Kazunari: ??
Maki: When I see Miyoshi-san’s flyers, it’s like… With just one look, my imagination overflows with what their worlds would be, and that fills me with excitement…
Not to mention how each and every one of the designs matches well with the vibes of the actors!
Tsuzuru: Well… Miyoshi-san’s skill is the real deal, I can say that much.
Kazunari: Woah, was that a huge compliment I just heard from you, Tsuzuroon!?
Tsuzuru: So, what you mean to say is that you’re not fully satisfied with your own design?
Maki: …Yes. I feel like there’s still something missing from what I’ve been able to come up with…
Kazunari: That so… By the way, have you tried talking to the theatre club members yourself?
Maki: I often talk with Oohara and Kogawa, but not so much with the others…
Kazunari: Maki-kun, you said just now that my designs match up with the actors’ vibes, right?
That’s probably because I know a lot about the actors I work with— each and every one of them.
That’s why when I’m coming up with my flyer designs, I also base them on each person’s character and go from there.
Although maaaybe the flyer for Spring Troupe’s debut play was kinda an exception~
Tsuzuru: Ahh, that… A whole lot of things were happening too fast at the time. Though when it’s with Miyoshi-san, things are always happening too fast all the time.
Kazunari: (So Tsuzuroon already sent me the files with the script and the photos for the RomiJuli play…)
But wow… So he wrote all this…?
(I’m finding myself feeling moved the more I read it…)
The resolution on these pics is at an all-time low though… Hrmm, now how am I going to edit this then..
(But hey, after reading that script, I’m struck with all sorts of ideas now! OK then, let’s get to drawing!)
Kazunari: (Looking real good! … Is what I’d like to say.)
(But now I wonder if this design actually matches well with the two main leads though…)
(Hmm. Mulling about it won’t do me any good. I may as well ask Tsuzuroon instead!)
