That’s RanKING! December 2016
On a drive, who seems like they would be best at navigating for you? (question from ‘Miriyou’)
1 – Asaka Manato (40 points)
2 – Asumi Rio (16 points)
3 – Sagiri Seina (13 points)
Tamaki Ryou, Moon Troupe
Maa-sama (Asaka) is #1! She seems like she’d get the whole map in her head and navigate really skillfully. #2 is Sayumi-san (Asumi). I feel like she’d point out the route really clearly while looking at the map. While Chigi-san (Sagiri) seems like she’d be good at it, I think rather than navigating she’s more the type to drive herself and be like ‘come on, get it!’ (laughs) While I’m alright at remembering roads, if I had to pick I’d rather drive… Therefore, Chigi-san is #3. Tamaki is more like #3.5 (laughs). As for Kurenai-san, I’ll have to ask her about it next time I see her!
Sagiri Seina, Snow Troupe
Doesn’t Maa-kun have to take first place here? I picture her as able to put everything into simple words and really good at giving instructions. #2 is Tamaki-kun. I think compared to the more senior actresses her way of explaining would be really easy to understand. Since I drive once in a while, I think I can understand pretty well how it feels to have someone navigating…so like, 3rd place. Mirio is so amiable and laid-back that she’s 4th place. But even if we ended up going a more roundabout way, I’m sure we’d see some nice scenery anyway, so the end result would be A-ok (laughs). Kurenai-kun is so fun to listen to that I think I’d end up unintentionally getting really into a conversation and then it would end up like ‘oh no, you missed a turn!’ (laughs).
Kurenai Yuzuru, Star Troupe
First place is Chigi-chan. I think she would have interesting things to say about the roads we passsed down. Maa-kun is the type who’s really good at laying out the main points, so I think she’d be likely to know the shortest routes – she’s 2nd place. Mirio is 3rd – the roads she knows, she knows really well, but I think if we got to somehere she wasn’t familiar with she’d just be like ’…I dunno.’ I can’t remember roads at all (laughs). But even though I don’t really know any routes, if I’m just like ‘I feel like it’s kind of this way…’ I’m often right.
Asumi Rio, Flower Troupe
I’m #1! I’ve been in the passenger seat all my life, so navigating is second nature to me…although, just between us, to tell the truth I just repeat what the GPS says (laughs). 2nd place is Maa-sama, since she seems like she knows a lot of roads. Maybe Kurenai-san is #3. ‘No, dummy, that way!’ – I think she’d be a very sarcastic navigator (laughs). I feel like Chigi-san and Ryou-chan would get too focused on conversation.
Asaka Manato, Cosmos Troupe
I think I’m really good at navigating. I can read maps really well and if I’m driving I don’t need anyone to navigate for me (laughs). Therefore I guess I’ll be #1. Ryou-ryou (Tamaki) is probably pretty good too, so she’s #2. Since I think she drives a lot and would definitely be good at navigating too, Chigi-san is #3. I think Mirio would just want to sleep in the passenger seat (laughs). As for Herao-kun1…well, Kurenai-san I mean (laughs), while she’s pretty disciplined in general I’m sure she’d end up deep in a totally different conversation and slack off on the navigating (laughs).
