[T\/N: As before, Hokushou\u2019s commentary is in italics]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hokushou Kairi\u2019s #1!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We surveyed all the Star Troupe members about what was Hokushou Kairi\u2019s \u2018Number One\u2019!! And now, what are the results? Have a look, along with Hokushou Kairi\u2019s comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This is her coolest aspect in rehearsals!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 <\/strong>She watches the junior actresses attentively and gives them advice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s always thinking about the junior actresses and the rest of the troupe, so even though of course Hokushou-san is the one struggling the most, she\u2019ll always cheer people on and say things like \u2018let\u2019s do it!\u2019 She\u2019s so generous.\u201d –  Minato Rihi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/strong> How seriously she applies herself to rehearsing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see how much time she puts in when she\u2019s rehearsing\u201d – Kurenai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, if I don\u2019t I\u2019ll never be able to remember everything (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven during the breaks, she\u2019ll listen to the songs, or work on memorizing the lyrics, or be reading the script\u2026 But if people are joking around she\u2019ll join in which is lovely!!\u201d – Miki Chigusa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hahaha, that means I\u2019m not concentrating though (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/strong> Her playfulness (10 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo matter how busy she is, she\u2019ll try to make people smile!\u201d – Tenju Mitsuki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026It\u2019s in my nature (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s always thinking of what she can do to entertain everyone!\u201d – Natsuki Rei<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a condition, basically (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019ll be like \u201cI\u2019m so hungry~\u201d and start eating little cookies or Jagarico – it\u2019s so cute!!\u201d – Ichijou Azusa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spend such a long time awake that I get hungry a lot, so I eat all the time<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4<\/strong> When she brings hand-made food for everyone (8 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019ll say \u201cI thought you all must be so tired\u201d and make tomato and cucumber pickles to bring for everyone!!! I\u2019m so moved at what a kind person she is but I always end up just watching from a distance\u2026for some reason I just can\u2019t stand tomatoes or cucumbers\u2026 But if they were cucumbers Micchan-san prepared I could get them down\u2026probably \u2728\u201d – Ooki Makoto<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(bursts out laughing) Next time I\u2019ll prepare something Ooki-san likes, so let me know your requests!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FROM Hinami Fuu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she comes to rehearsal in a more casual look (which just makes her coolness increase!), and her whole gaze and bearing as she is diligently rehearsing!! Also, the difference between that and when she will sometimes be nibbling on sweets is just too much!! Ah! Also, when she is sitting with her Walkman and listening to something as she focuses on one spot~ it\u2019s the best! Ah~ there\u2019s too much to write down\u2026 \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on one spot\u2026do you mean when my mind is totally elsewhere? (laughs) This is a total fangirl comment, isn\u2019t it (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We want to emulate this! (from otokoyaku)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/strong> Her way of wearing hats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way she wears felt hats and sets the brim. It minimizes what\u2019s obscured from the side, and I love how you can see her profile clearly \ud83d\udc96\u201d – Amaki Homare<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reached that ability after 19 years of constant learning, so I\u2019d be delighted if, like I learned from my seniors, the junior actresses gradually picked up skills from me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/strong> Her looks and gestures as she gazes at a musumeyaku, her chivalry (8 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s such a good escort to the musumeyaku!!! \ud83d\udc96 She\u2019s so chivalrous \ud83d\udc96\u201d – Seo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way she takes Hinami-san\u2019s hand, or the way she says \u2018Here~\u2019 when she holds her hand out to her, those sorts of gestures [kirakira] Those moments full of kindness and chivalry are so wonderful.\u201d – Aomi Sario<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But like\u2026all the musumeyaku are so cute, so naturally I\u2019m going to look at them, that\u2019s all (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/strong> From behind\u2026 (4 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last scene of act 1 of Guys and Dolls, where she turned around and was kicking at the ground!\u201d – Mao Yuuki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen she\u2019s turned around but then turns to look back!! The angle is beautiful!!\u201d – Toa Reiya<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3<\/strong> Her attitude and stage combat in Japanese-setting works (4 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHer behavior in Japanese-setting works is just beautiful. So much so it almost makes me wonder if she just always carries a katana around.\u201d – Kurenai<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

We want her to do this! (from musumeyaku)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1<\/strong> Wink (7 votes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wink very well myself, so I\u2019d love to be able to wink as well as Hokushou-san\u201d – Mioka Anri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll sometimes wink at my fellow performers when I pass them by on stage or whatever (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2<\/strong> Sing while gazing intently at me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d love if Hokushou-san used all sorts of different voices, like she\u2019s so good at\u201d – Otoha Minori<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want her to sing to me while gazing at me \ud83d\udc96\u201d – Shiratori Yuriya<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPin me against a wall!! Michiko-san!!\u201d – Yumeki Anru<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want her to hold me by the chin\u201d – Kisaki Airi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is so overboard but\u2026I want her to hug me tight \ud83d\ude06 Like in the lyrics for THE ENTERTAINER! \ud83d\udc96\u201d – Kozakura Honoka<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want her to give me a red rose!! Like in the midpoint ensemble number of THE ENTERTAINER!\u201d – Kirari An<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll make sure I do all that for everyone before I graduate (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FROM Hinami Fuu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want Michiko-san to embrace me tightly from the front!! I\u2019d love for her to hug me while laughing!! (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think, I\u2019ve hardly ever hugged you from the front. Maybe\u2026that\u2019s beyond me~ (laughs)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final message from Hokushou:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m so happy that you\u2019ve watched my shows from before I came to Star Troupe. While it\u2019s a little embarrassing to realize that you\u2019ve been watching me so closely in rehearsal (laughs), I always hope to make the performer \u2018Hokushou Kairi\u2019 someone who you all can learn from by example!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
