Ch. 5 Ep. 4: μ's Interview, 3rd Years
Next you interview Rin, Maki, and Hanayo. They let you sit in on Maki composing at the piano while Rin and Hanayo cheer with maracas. You are a bit taken aback by their relaxed songwriting, but go on to the next interview.
And the following day…
Player
Last, but not least, μ's third-year students. Wait a second…
Nozomi
Nico-chi isn't here yet, is she? I guess we can talk just you, me, and Eli-chi.
Player
Okay! Eli, Nozomi, please introduce yourselves.
Eli
I'm Eli Ayase, a third-year student at Otonokizaka High. I sing in μ's and also take care of everyone's schedule.
Nozomi
I'm Nozomi Tojo. I became a school idol with my good friend Eli-chi here.
Player
You guys are always in sync with each other on stage, doing such acrobatic moves!
Nozomi
Eli-chi used to take ballet, so her movements are so beautiful.
Player
I get it now! She does always have very good posture.
Player
(They all have their own unique skill sets they use to be better idols.)
Eli
I heard you're the supporter for the Nijigasaki school idols. That seems like an interesting job.
Nozomi
That might be a brand new thing, having a supporter for school idols.
Player
Yeah. We didn't plan it like that, it just kind of happened.
Nozomi
I heard how you take action and that you even went to Numazu to meet Aqours. You're incredible! You really need that kind of oomph to get something started.
Eli
Yes. Sometimes you meet someone that spurs you on to get up and do something.
Nozomi
Oh yeah, didn't you already interview the first- and second-years? Did they have anything interesting to say?
Player
I got to see how they're writing lyrics and music.
Eli
You write songs for your idols too, right? Is your process anything like ours?
Player
The fact that they don't really decide on a theme or anything before writing is different.
Player
I was surprised at first, but it was fun!
Eli
We're always looking for new ways to go about things, so that's not how we always do it.
Nozomi
We like having fun!
Player
There's still a lot I don't know, but I think seeing something so different is a good experience.
Nozomi
I see! Is there anything you want to see other than how we work as idols?
Player
I guess my biggest interest would be, along with your other fans, what you do in school on a regular day.
Player
I'd like to see what you do outside of your school idol club!
Eli
*Chuckle* I see. I don't know if our everyday lives are that interesting, but you might just get a great story out of it!
Nozomi
Do you want to come and take a look at the student council, too?
Player
Wait, you guys are part of the student council on top of being school idols?!
Eli
That's right. I'm the student council president and Nozomi is the vice president.
Player
Amazing! I'd love to see that!
Nico
Excuse me.
Eli
Oh, Nico's here!
Player
Nico, I hope you're looking forward to the close coverage report I'm doing!
Nico
Hello, I'm Nico Yazawa!
Nico
I heard you were reporting on us, so I'm kind of nervous.
Player
U-Umm… Right.
Player
(Is Nico always like this? I thought she had more energy.)
Nico
However, I feel like there is a lot our fans can learn by seeing a day in the life of a super school idol.
Eli
Oh no, here we go again.
Nozomi
She speaks softly, but has a holier-than-thou tinge to her voice. It's just like her.
Nico
It's a little embarrassing letting everyone see us in our private lives, but I'll do my best for you because you read our articles!
Nozomi
Oh, is it over?
Nico
Nozomi, what do you mean by that?
Nico
I want everyone to know more about me, the best idol in the world…no, the universe!
Player
I'll do my best to help with that!
Nico
*Giggle* This day looks like it's going to be fun!
[Fade in/out.]
Nico
…
Nico
…It's not fun!
Nozomi
Come on, Nico-chi. There's no need to be so angry. It's just a little reporting.
Nico
This isn't what I was told! Why am I doing errands for the student council when I, super school idol Nico Yazawa, should be interviewed about my day?
Eli
She already got a good look at club activities with the first- and second-year students, so we thought this kind of everyday stuff would be a nice addition!
Nico
No, no, no! Organizing class worksheets is NOT something I do, and it's NOT something I want our fans to see!
Player
I'm sorry, Nico. I just wanted everyone to see you in your daily lives.
Nozomi
What's the big deal? You shine when you help out with the student council! You look great holding worksheets, just like any super school idol!
Nico
Y-You think so?
Eli
I wanted to prepare this for the new school semester. Thanks for helping, Nico.
Nico
Well, if you needed me to help, you should have said so.
Player
Nico, is it okay if I report on all your club lives later?
Nozomi
Haven't you already done interviews about that?
Player
I haven't gotten anything on your dances or practices yet, and I want to get a good piece on the third-years, too!
Nico
That's what I like to hear! I'll get these worksheets sorted in five minutes, just you watch. Then you can report on our practice as much as you want.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
(That was an intense practice!)
Player
(I thought we were working hard at Nijigasaki, but μ's' focus toward their performance is something else!)
Player
Eli, Nozomi, Nico. Thank you so much for today! It was a great experience!
Nozomi
We should thank you for being so passionate with your interview!
Player
I'll make this into a great article! Not only that…
Eli
What else?
Player
We at the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club are going to use what we learned here from you!
Nico
What?
Player
Uhh…
Nico
No one told me you were from the Nijigasaki High School Idol group!
