This month’s question: Who would be best at building a snowman? [Question from ‘Cocoron’]
1. Sagiri Seina – 35 points
2. Tamaki Ryou – 22 points
3. Asumi Rio and Asaka Manato – 11 points
Sagiri Seina, Snow Troupe
Since it’s a ‘Snow’man, not Flower, Moon, Star, or Cosmos, but a ‘Snow’man, I won’t give up this one (laughs). I don’t really remember having made snowmen before, but I’ve played a little kid with a face like a snowman. Second place is Tamakichi (Tamaki). Since she’s at a stage where she’s closer to childhood (laughs), I think she might be good at active things like that. Since Maakun can do any task skillfully, she’s third. She’s make a cute, orthodox snowman that could win a popularity contest. Kurenai-kun would start talking about something funny and in the meantime the show would melt, so she’s fourth. I think Mirio-chan would be like ‘Ah, the snow…’ and just enjoy herself looking at the snowy landscape.
Tamaki Ryou, Moon Troupe
#1 is Mirio-san. I think she would carefully plan and make one with her own personal flair, so I’m sure she would end up with a really pretty snowman. #2 is Maa-sama. She can do anything smartly, it seems, so I’m sure she would briskly and smartly construct a snowman. As for Chigi-san and Kurenai-san, this is obviously my own personal opinion here, but I think that since they’re both really hot-blooded, they’d be like ‘Alright! Snowman time!’ and get too into it so they’d accidentally mess everything up in the end (laughs). Therefore, though I’ve not had a chance to try myself at making a nice snowman, I’ll take the liberty of putting myself at #3.
Asumi Rio, Flower Troupe:
Ryou-chan (Tamakichi) might be #1. Since she seems really strong (laughs). I think she’d build a really huge one. #2 is Chigi-san. I think she’d get really into it and bring gloves to decorate it and buckets and stuff. I feel like Maa-sama (Asaka) would think it was too cold to manage and Kurenai-san would just make a tiny one and then be like ‘Enough, I’m going for lunch’ (laughs), so I’ll put myself right in the middle. Even though I’m not great with cold, to be honest…
Asaka Manato, Cosmos Troupe
Who would be best able to make one, right? Chigi-san is #1, I think. She’d have tons of fun just playing in the snow, so she’d put that excitement into making it. #2 is Ryou-chan. She seems skillful, and I think she’d take a lot of care to get a smooth surface and such. Probably she’d keep working away till it was totally smooth. Herao-kun1 (Kurenai) would make one if she felt like it so she’s #3. But if she didn’t feel like it she’d just be like ‘bo~ring’ and go to sleep (laughs). Mirio would just take ages about it (laughs). I definitely! Coulen’t make one. Too cold.
Kurenai Yuzuru, Star Troupe
Chigi-san is first. She’s so playful that I’m sure she could make a good snowman. Maa-kun is second since she seems like she’d be good at making and working from a plan. Tamaki-san is #3; she’d be running around and full of energy, but before you knew it there’d be a completed snowman. I’d start out wanting to make a really large snowman, but I’d get tired of it in the middle (laughs) and just make a few little ones, like ‘this is good enough, right?’ I’d ultimately decide that was a better idea than having a really large one and be satisfied with that, I think (laughs).
