Your expressiveness has hit a new level lately, Shizuku! Watching you practice again today got me feeling all excited!

Oh, really?!

*Chuckle* That makes me really happy. I am actually obsessed with musicals at the moment. Perhaps I've improved through my efforts to incorporate musical theater elements.

Musicals?

Yes! It is my intention to watch all forms of performances related to acting, regardless of the genre!

I see. Is there a lot to learn from musicals?

Of course. They cover a different side of acting than what I am used to. I am absolutely captivated every time I watch a musical.

However, I would have to say that I learn the most from the songs. It is incredible how they can express emotions in place of spoken lines!

I get drawn in and completely absorbed, even though I am merely watching them for educational purposes.

Watching them always makes me think that I need to work even harder.

Sounds like there's a lot that can be used in school idol live shows.

There is no doubt about that.

Then let's watch something together next time!

I would love to! There is nothing to lose by watching musicals!

Do you have any recommendations?

Yes! I recommend literally every performance by my favorite theater company!

I am very much obsessed with them… In fact, I've even joined their fan club!

They have a fan club?

Yes! It gets you preferential treatment when attending shows, of course, but the official fan club website is also brimming with material!

There are lots of interviews with the performers, and behind-the-scenes looks at rehearsals.

Also, everybody takes turns updating the blog to share insights about their daily lives and their downtime. I always get carried away reading it… *Chuckle*

I understand. You want to learn as much as possible about the people you support, right?

Absolutely!

Then have you thought about starting up your own fan club for all the people who support you? We could also make a website full of information about you!

What?! Me? Start a fan club?!

What would I even be able to offer? There is nothing fun about seeing what I do in my daily life.

I disagree with you there. You lose track of time when browsing your theater company's fan club site, right? I bet fans of yours will want to know everything about you, too.

Really? Do you think they want to learn more about me?

For sure!

I see. However, I would like to find a unique way to give back to those who join my fan club if I were to make one. Could I have some time to think something up?

A way unique to you, huh? I think that's a great idea. Take as much time as you need!

Thank you!
