Kasumi Ep. 6: Again and Again?

Kasumi wants to do something that will feel special to the people cheering her on at the solo event. She asks for advice on how to show off her cuteness in a way that grabs people and makes them feel closer to her.

Kasumi

Hey, listen! I want everyone to tell me how adorable I am at the next solo event, but I just don't know how to do it.

Option 1: “Maybe a cute outfit or dance?”

Player

Maybe a cute outfit or dance or something?

Kasumi

No way! I figured that wouldn't be enough. That's why I came to you!

Option 2: “You're so cute already, it's a bit tricky, huh?”

Player

You've always been cute without trying, so I bet it's tricky, huh?

Kasumi

Oh, I love you, you totally get me! I know I'm adorable, but I'm trying to come up with a plan to get everyone to think I'm cuter than ever before!

Player

Well, hmm… Oh, Nico has that Nico-Nico-Ni thing she does. What about coming up with your own catchphrase like that?

Kasumi

Nope, I don't think so. That Nico-Nico-Ni thing is, like, SO outdated. Actually, I don't think it was ever tasteful.

Kasumi

Besides, I don't want it to be some kind of greeting! I want to do something more personal. Something that'll make each of my fans feel like I did it just for them!

Player

Got it. So something only you can do. Something tailor-made for Kasumi fans.

Kasumi

Exactly! Oh, uh… I was a little bit harsh earlier, but I swear, I wasn't making fun of Nico.

Kasumi

It's something Nico came up with, so, you know, that's her own way of being cute. It doesn't really suit me.

Player

(She really gets how Nico ticks. That's gotta be why she wants to do something unique to her.)

Kasumi

So I want to come up with something new! You know better than anyone else how cute I am, so tell me what it is you find cutest about me!

Player

What I find cutest? I mean, there's a lot.

Kasumi

Oh, I'm all ears! Talk away!

Player

Well, your smile is pretty cute, and so is your voice and hairstyle, too. You've got the perfect wink, and there's your hobby of baking bread. It's cute and tasty to boot.

Kasumi

*Giggle*

Player

Oh, your mannerisms too. Not to mention how you change expressions on a dime, like when you're feeling shy or embarrassed. It's impossible to keep my eyes off you.

Kasumi

Hee hee…

Player

Wait, why is your face all red? Are you okay?

Kasumi

Huh?! I-It is not! Anyway, you're right! There are all kinds of cute things about me!

Player

Sure are. Oh, and I almost forgot, the way you reread your fan letters every day but still grin about it like it's the first time you ever read them. That's the cutest.

Kasumi

Wha…?! How do you know about that?! Nobody was supposed to see me doing that!

Player

*Laugh* The way you react to stuff like that is super cute too. Oh, I've got it! I know exactly what you should do!

Kasumi

Wh-What is it? What kind of good idea would you come up with along this train of thought?

Player

What if we took a bunch of candid pictures of your reactions and show them from up on stage? I'm sure everyone would love it.

Kasumi

NO WAY! Absolutely not! I'd never be able to show my face on the stage again! Anything but that!

Player

You sure? I'm sure it'd be a huge hit. But I guess we can come up with something else.

[Fade in/out.]

Kasumi

*Sigh* I'm kinda worried you haven't had some kind of epiphany already. I sure hope my performance is going to be okay.

Player

Hmm, I just really think a video of you reading your fan letters would be perfect.

Kasumi

No, no, and no! That's not happening! Ever!

Kasumi

*Sigh* I don't want anyone to see me reading them, but I could maybe thank everyone for their letters.

Kasumi

I have a lot of thoughts I wanna share about them, after all.

Player

Oh, that's perfect! I'm sure anyone who sees you smile like you just did would think you're cuter than anyone in the world.

Kasumi

Y-Yeah! Then that's that! Now to just sing and sing until everyone learns just how adorable I really am!
