This month’s question: Who do you think is most likely to keep active until late at night?
- First Place: Sagiri Seina – 31 points
- Second Place: Asumi Rio – 16 points
- Second Place: Asaka Manato – 16 points
Sagiri Seina (Snow Troupe)
I really like staying in the rehearsal room until it’s so late at night they’re about to throw me out, so I guess I might be the most nocturnal of us. It’s not that I really have nocturnal habits, but it seems like the darker it gets, the better my body can move (laugh).
Maa-kun [Asaka Manato] seems to keep up the same pace from the time she gets up to the time she goes to bed, so I put her in second place.
In third place is Michiko [Hokushou Kairi] since she’ll decide “This is when I’m going to bed!” and then make all her plans for the day around that.
Masao [Ryuu Masaki] and Mirio-chan [Asumi Rio] seem like the type to do everything at their own pace and just think “I’ll go to sleep when I feel like sleeping.” (laugh)
Asumi Rio (Flower Troupe)
Recently I’ve become way more of a night person, so I think I might be first. My mind is really active from around 11pm to 3am, and even when I return home I’ll end up thinking about my roles for a while and my engine just keeps running (laugh).
I put Masaki-san in second place. When she was doing shinjin kouens, she would always stay up really late rehearsing by herself, so I think she can keep going even at night.
For third place…hmmm, I have an image of her being really passionate, like “I won’t sleep until I do this!” so I think it’s Chigi-san! [Sagiri Seina]
Asaka Manato (Cosmos Troupe)
I think first place is Chigi-san. I feel like she’s always doing everything really efficiently so she would just keep going that way even late at night.
Mirio is in second place. I don’t know if she’s really full of energy, but recently she was saying “even though I have to sleep, I can’t.”
I don’t feel like Ryuu-san or Hokushou-san really stay up that late, so I guess third place has to be me. Even in the middle of the night I’m still pretty energetic. But I can’t handle mornings. Even though I’m called ‘Asaka’1 (laugh).
Hokushou Kairi (Star Troupe)
Ryuu-san is in first place, since I see her as a night person.
Second place is Chigi, I think. She said once that she stayed up watching television and by the time she realized the time it was midnight! (laugh)
I’m in third place: since I have tons of things I need to do, a lot of times I end up staying up until late at night. But since I always wake up early in the morning, I’ll run out of energy at around 11pm, and when I get up I’ll be fighting drowsiness.
Ryuu Masaki (Moon Troupe)
I think first place might be Maa-kun. I always picture her as being energetic even when it’s late.
And then…since Chigi-chan is the type to think “I’ll do what I need to get done” until it ends up getting late, she’s second place.
Since I see Mirio-chan as getting into situations where once it’s night she realizes “Oh, I forgot that!” (laugh) I think she’d definitely end up staying up late a lot, so third place.
I think Hokushou-san would finish everything early, so she probably wouldn’t stay up late very much.
I wouldn’t be able to stay up late, I don’t have enough concentration ability (laugh).
1 – Asaka’s stage name contains the character for ‘morning’ (朝, asa).
