So the next scene is when the canary and Rio meet... Okay, I'll practice this.
It's important to show what kind of character the canary is here, so I've got to do this right.
…
“♪————”
(And then this is when Rio is lured by the canary's singing and comes over...)
“H-Huh?!
Who's there...?!”
“N-No, stay away...!”
(Maybe it should sound a little stronger.)
“N-No, stay away...!”
“Oh... I-I'm sorry...
But please... Go somewhere else...”
“I don't like humans...
Because they're always mean to me...”
*Exhale*
I managed to get it pretty much exactly how I wanted. This should be...
(Wait, no. I can't be satisfied with this.)
(I need to be more immersed in the canary's character. I can do better...!)
Oh, look at the time...
(Hoshino should be coming soon. I think I'll rest my voice for a bit.)
*Sigh*
(I haven't seen her since her solo show.)
(Her singing and performance just keep improving. I feel like I'm the one learning from her.)
I'd better keep up.
Kusanagi!
Oh, Hoshino.
You're here so early. Have you started practicing already?
Just a little bit of acting. I haven't started singing practice yet.
Right. You did mention that the 30th Anniversary Show is soon. Thank you for coming even though you're so busy.
It's okay. I was looking forward to practicing with you anyway.
Also, you went to Yokohama with your class for a field trip, right? How was it?
It was super fun. My group and I ate some really nice curry, went shopping at the Red Brick Center, and...
Well, some things happened and my friend and I went on the water taxi.
Hehe, I see. I heard the weather was good that day too, so that must've been nice.
It was. Oh, Honami and Otori were in the same group and said that they went around Chinatown.
Yeah, I heard about that too. Emu told me all about it. Seemed like they had a lot of fun.
She came back with both arms full of souvenirs and was giving them all out to the other cast members.
I even got some cheesecake, chocolates and a lot of other stuff...
Oh, I actually have a souvenir for you too, Kusanagi.
Huh?
Um, it's a keychain...
Here...
Wow... It's a little blue bird. It's so cute...
Do you remember the musical you recommended to me a while ago? I somewhat remembered that the main character treasured something like this...
I did think about getting something more Yokohama-ish, but...
Well... I thought something that could remind you that I'm cheering you on would be better.
Hoshino...
Thank you. I love it.
Also... I actually got a matching one. See...
Oh...
I asked a friend what would be a good souvenir that could be a sign of my support.
And she suggested having matching items...
She said that a reminder that you're not alone might help you have courage when you're feeling anxious.
(That I'm not alone...)
Thank you for putting so much thought into it, Hoshino.
Can I...put it on my bag? I want it to always be with me.
Of course.
Done!
I've said it before, but... I'll be cheering for you, Kusanagi.
Thanks!
Okay then, shall we start practicing?
Sounds good.
