<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhich one of you is the most conscientious?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Hamako-san (Mirai)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Eritan (Sou)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I think it\u2019s Eritan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I feel like you\u2019re really conscientious and diligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>No, it\u2019s definitely Hamako-san.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> It seems like Kimu (Otozuki) certainly isn\u2019t conscientious (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I tend to think of things more generally, yes\u2026 I\u2019m fine with third place. Which of you two is the most conscientious, then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Hamako-san will always work so hard at making hotpot for cast parties and things\u2026 And when we go out to eat she\u2019ll honestly be a little too helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Like a mother? (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>Yes, a mother (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> If that\u2019s the kind of conscientiousness we\u2019re talking about, Hamako-san will end up at number 1, then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Conscientiousness in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> I can\u2019t deny that (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> Phew!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Eritan, you have your own particular fixations, don\u2019t you? You\u2019re very conscientious when it comes to those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> That\u2019s true. I think it\u2019s probably because my blood type is AB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> It\u2019s a different variety of conscientiousness than Hamako-san\u2019s. Perhaps you could share first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai: <\/em>But we have to decide the ranking, don\u2019t we? It\u2019s fine, I\u2019ll take first (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n All:<\/em> (laugh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> First place is Hamako-san, second place is Eritan, and third place is me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who is most easily affected by the role they\u2019re playing?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Eririn (Sou)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Eritan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>It is me, isn\u2019t it. I get really overtaken by my roles. If I\u2019m playing a character who\u2019s down on their luck I start wanting to feel discouraged in my own life as well, that kind of thing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai: <\/em>When you play a dark role, you get a really dark atmosphere too. But I think I sense that from Kimu, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>Yeah. You get pretty affected by your roles, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>I didn\u2019t think I was the type for that, but depending on the role I suppose I\u2019ve had that happen from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Hamako-san is totally different on and offstage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> But I think that\u2019s just a matter of making the distinction there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> You\u2019re smiling the moment you make it into the wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai: <\/em>Yes. I don\u2019t take any of it with me at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I think Eririn takes first place here, fair and square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Kimu is second place, and I\u2019m third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who is the most talkative?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Kimu!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Huh? It\u2019s Hamako-san for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Huh!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Hamako-san is always talking away but you still notice what\u2019s going on around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> You\u2019re so perceptive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>Kimu is always chattering. The only time you\u2019re quiet is when you\u2019re feeling ill (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai, Otozuki:<\/em> (burst out laughing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>That might be true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai: <\/em>When Eritan\u2019s interested in something she\u2019ll join the conversation, but if she\u2019s not interested she won\u2019t talk at all (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki: <\/em>(burst out laughing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> When I\u2019m talking with Kin-san (Misumi Kanon), sometimes I\u2019ll reply too quickly. I\u2019m like \u2018Oh no, that won\u2019t do\u2026\u2019 (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> This is a regular tell-all session now (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> The girls of Kimu\u2019s year all chat away like students, don\u2019t you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Like \u2018Hey, hey, listen to this~!\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>That\u2019s definitely true\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> So, first place is Kimu. I\u2019m second, and Eritan is third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who takes over when cooking hotpot?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> (simultaneously point at Mirai)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> It\u2019s me~! It\u2019s definitely me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>You give off such an aura that nobody else will even reach for it. It\u2019s like \u2018HANDS OFF!\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> I don\u2019t want anybody else touching. It\u2019s my hotpot that I\u2019m cooking with such care after all (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> (laugh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> You\u2019d get really upset if someone put in the parsley first, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Of course I would! I\u2019m like \u2018We have to start with what flavors the stock!\u2019 (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Before I know it you\u2019ll have carefully put in so many different ingredients. Hamako-san is definitely number one here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Yeah. I\u2019m way ahead of the pack here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> I\u2019m probably third place. Kimu is pretty stubborn, after all\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> There\u2019s a difference between that and taking over the hotpot, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> But still, I\u2019ve never seen Eritan do anything like that at all\u2026 (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Yeah. I\u2019d rather have someone else do it for me (laughs). I\u2019ll take third place, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Yay! I\u2019m in second place. Even if it was just by process of elimination\u2026 (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n All:<\/em> (laugh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who gets the most stressed out?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Kimu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> (pulls down the hand she had been raising)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> Ah\u2026 (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Hamako-san, do you get nervous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> You don\u2019t really understand me, do you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>You don\u2019t look like you get nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> When it comes time for the Thursday performance after my off day, I get so nervous my hands will be shaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> Eh~! Wo~w~!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> It\u2019s an amazing level of nervousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> But, it\u2019s a kind of nervousness that doesn\u2019t transfer to other people. In my case\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Yeah, yeah. Kimu is contagious\u2026 (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I\u2019ll keep saying \u2018I\u2019m so nervous\u2019 over and over as I\u2019m pacing around. Although that calms me down a bit personally\u2026 (laughs). So maybe I\u2019m not actually that nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> For us, even if we say \u2018I\u2019m so nervous right now\u2019, we don\u2019t really look it, do we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> That\u2019s true for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> I think Kimu is like that too. When you were doing shinjin kouens, you looked extremely calm when it came time for the show. \u2026So, who is first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>We all get nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Yeah. But I\u2019ve never gotten stage fright performing right after a day off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Me neither.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> So, that makes Hamako-san first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Eritan is second place, maybe. Sometimes I can tell hearing your voice over the monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Ah~, you\u2019re really perceptive to tell that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> In Susano\u2019o and In Search of the Blue Bird, you had lines immediately after the start of the show, right? On opening day when you had your first lines I could tell that you were really nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Ah\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> If we\u2019re thinking about it that way, I don\u2019t really get that nervous on stage\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>You\u2019re really plucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I think it\u2019s because I get so nervous before I go on that I tire myself out (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai, Sou:<\/em> (laugh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who has the most intense emotional swings?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> We\u2019re all like this, aren\u2019t we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai: <\/em>It\u2019s hard to put a ranking on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Everyone tells me that it\u2019s really easy to tell when I\u2019m in a bad mood. I think though we might all have the same emotional range, there\u2019s people who show it and people who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> If we\u2019re going by how easy it is to tell, then Eritan is first. And then who between Kimu and I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> I can tell Kimu\u2019s emotions. When she\u2019s feeling down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kimu:<\/em> I can\u2019t hide it at all when I\u2019m feeling down (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> Perhaps it\u2019s because she is more senior, but I can\u2019t tell Hamako-san\u2019s emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> When you\u2019re frustrated or something I can tell \u2018well, maybe she seems a bit more tense\u2026\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Maybe when it comes to things like that. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever let anyone see me when I\u2019m properly angry\u2026 So maybe Kimu is second, and I\u2019m third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who is the biggest romanticist?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Are any of us romanticists?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki:<\/em> No~\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou: <\/em>What is a \u2018romanticist\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Someone who fantasizes a lot, and often ends up in a totally different world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> In that case, that\u2019s me. I\u2019m always wandering off to the other side of the world (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai, Otozuki:<\/em> (Burst out laughing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki: <\/em>That\u2019s too fa~r!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> I\u2019m always getting called back when someone says \u2018Eritan!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> So, I\u2019ll give you first place. Second place is Kimu, maybe. Look how cute your clothes are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> I\u2019m not a romanticist at all, though. I\u2019m very realistic\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> I\u2019m definitely not a romanticist at all! I\u2019m all about physical activity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou, Otozuki: <\/em>A P.E. person!! (burst out laughing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> That\u2019s funny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mirai:<\/em> Let\u2019s put Kimu in second place, and me in third, then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who would you want as a bride?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Otozuki:<\/em> Hamako-san! She seems like she would do everything for you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sou:<\/em> She seems like she\u2019d be always wanting to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
