Merry Xmas - assemblé 1

[bakemonoremy]

TL Note: As you’d think, the French title “assemblé” means “assembled” in the sense of “to construct something/put something together”.

Location: Dance Room

- A few days later -

Tori: Oh, that reminds me. Hey, about this part of the choreo…

According to the instructor, everyone is in sync for this step, but how about we all move the way we like for it? I feel like that’d fit the free and unrestrained image of fairies better.

Hajime: Ah, you’re right. We already distributed the roles of the various fairies, and it’d bring out each fairy’s characteristics more if we moved freely.

Sora: In that case, Sora wants us to scatter a bit more during this intermezzo, too~! That way it’ll look like we’re fairies flying around in the forest!

Tori: Yup, that sounds like a good way to present it. Then I’ll bring that suggestion up with the instructor —

Aira: Fuwaaaah…! How super ra~vely~!

Tori: Hm?

Aira: Uwaaah ♪ It’s just like the scenes I’ve seen on the live show blu-rays…!

The idols I admire so much are having a lesson! They’re exchanging opinions! Right now, I’m seeing bonus backstage footage in the flesh~! Ra~velyyy~☆

Ever since this project started, I’ve made nothing but good memories.

Am I really allowed to be this fortunate? I feel like I’m using up a lifetime supply of good luck here… It’s like, I wouldn’t even be surprised if I dropped dead tomorrow because of it.

Tori: Hey now, Shiratori~! Why are you staring at us from a distance and muttering weird stuff? Aren’t you a member, too? Join in already~!

Aira: Ah, I’m so sorry! The beautiful spectacle before my eyes got me a little too excited, ehehe.

Hajime: Fufu. I can’t help but feel bashful when you look at us so passionately, Shiratori-kun.

Aira: Aaah! Could it be that I was staring too much?! I-I’m so so sorry! Please just tell me straight-up when I’m being annoying, okay?

Tori: Sheesh~... I can tell that you respect us to a painful degree, Shiratori, and it’s almost a little frightening.

But you’re a member of this unit, too. That means you are our equal, doesn’t it?

It’s nice to be respected, but we’re not at the academy here. In the industry, seniority doesn’t count for everything.

We’re all idols here, so there’s no need to act reserved around us, got it?

Aira: R-Reserved?! No way! It’d be soo impertinent of me to show reserve! If I had to put it into words, I’d say I’m “awe-struck”!

Tori: ……… Anyway! Look, just come over here. We’re gonna continue our lesson.

Aira: Okaaay~!

Tori: Alright, let’s jump in at the middle of the prelude — One, two…

♪ ~ ♪ ~

Sora: ♪ ~ ☆

Hajime: ♪ ~ ♪ ~

Aira: ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪ 

— Ah! I-I’m sorry!

(Uwahh~! What do I do, I’m totally blanking…! Crapcrapcrap! Umm, how did these lyrics go again~? How’d it go~...?)

Hajime: Shiratori-kun, it’s okay. If you panic you’ll just make more mistakes, so how about you take some deep breaths?

Aira: Haa… Haa… You’re right — I calmed down a little bit~.

Hajime: Fufu. I’m glad. Today I may be doing okay, but I usually mess up a lot as well, you know. The people around me gave me this advice at times like that…♪

Tori: Also, this is practice for a reason. Feel free to make as many mistakes as you like, as long as you get it right when it counts.

Sora: HaHa~☆ Hime-chan is right! So you should relax some more~.

Aira: Uu. You’re all so nice to me… Thank you very much.

Tori: Good timing though, we’re ripe for a break anyway. Shiratori, do you want to go over the lyric sheets once more?

Aira: Yes! This time I’ll remember them all!

(Now let’s have a look at these lyrics… Oh, right! That’s how this part went.)

(That part of the song has a position change right after it. Maybe I was focusing on the choreo too much…?)

(Alright! This time I’ve got it. I gotta make sure not to mess up again.)

(Ehehe~, it’s so nice of everyone to be concerned about me, though…♪) 

(It’s like a dream, to be invited to do this together by such amazing people. I need to do my best so I won’t hold them back…!)
