Hanamaru Ep. 19: Hanamaru from AZALEA
It's the day before the live show. You and the rest of AZALEA are full of hopes for the big day when Hanamaru invites you all to stop and take a break with her.
Player
Tomorrow is the long-awaited day of the live show!
Kanan
Yep! I think this might be our greatest choreography to date. I can't wait to get out there and perform it onstage!
Dia
I feel the same way. The song and costumes turned out flawless as well. We must rest as much as we can until tomorrow so that we can give a superlative performance.
Player
Your heart races in a special way on the day before a live show. It's not like the day itself or the ones before it. Maybe it's weird to feel that way when I don't perform.
Hanamaru
…………
Player
Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
U-Um, you guys…
Kanan
What? Is something wrong?
Hanamaru
Um, just… Could we take a little break somewhere?
[Fade in/out.]
Dia
There's a dining area here. Please, have a seat.
Player
Okay, thanks.
| Option 1: “It's so fun snacking together!” |
|---|
| Player It's so fun to hang out and eat snacks like this with you all after school. You've been so busy practicing since scheduling your live show. It's kind of a relief. Hanamaru There's dorayaki, monaka wafers, chocolate cake… Why is it that sweet things bring me so much joy? |
| Option 2: “Everything here looks incredible!” |
| Player Every snack that this store sells looks incredible! I had a tough time choosing what to get… Hanamaru Are you sure you only want one cake? I can split my cream puff with you if you don't have enough, zura. |
Player
You're eating lots, Hanamaru… Is it okay to eat so much before dinner?
Hanamaru
This is going into my dessert stomach, zura!
Kanan
Yeah, and we've gotta make sure to get lots of nutrition for tomorrow! Time to take a bite—
Hanamaru
Hey, wait! Tomorrow! We, um, we gotta put on an amazing live show tomorrow! We gotta make sure it's an amazing, unforgettable, fantastic live show!
Dia, Kanan
Huh?!
Hanamaru
Oh, um… I didn't want all of you to stop talking, zura. Now I'm e-embarrassed.
Kanan
*Laugh* No, it's okay! Sorry for leaving you high and dry! That's why you wanted us to come take a break here, huh? To tell us that?
Dia
I was a little worried that it was something that would cause us concern. You seemed to be in a completely different mood from usual.
Hanamaru
Yeah… To be honest, sometimes during practice, I'd think about how hard our members are working in their other sub-units. It made me wonder what they're up to.
Hanamaru
All of us, including me, are in Aqours… But we're also not Aqours right now. Thinking that made me feel just the tiniest bit sad.
Player
Hanamaru…
Hanamaru
But then I realized that I shouldn't feel that way!
Hanamaru
Instead, what I need to do right now is to work with Kanan and Dia to put on the best performance ever as AZALEA.
Hanamaru
That's why I wanted to try uniting my heart with Kanan and Dia's hearts so that I can really sear the fact that I'm a member of AZALEA into my mind.
Kanan
I see…
Hanamaru
Sorry I brought you all here for such a selfish reason.
Dia
It isn't selfish at all. Just now, you helped me to notice and appreciate my status as an AZALEA member as well.
Kanan
Yeah! What you said just made me feel even more motivated!
Player
I'll be here supporting you to the very end with all my might too. We'll make AZALEA's live show an amazing one!
Hanamaru
Guys… Thank you! Tomorrow—no, from now on, I wanna put on shows that only we can pull off as AZALEA, zura!
Hanamaru
I wanna do stuff that only the three of us can do. Stuff that I could never manage alone, and that we couldn't do as part of Aqours. I'm gonna give it my all at the live show tomorrow, zura!
Dia, Kanan
Yeah!
