Since my promotion to leading otokoyaku, many different reporters have asked me to talk about how I feel or about the future of Moon Troupe. As I sincerely answered each of their questions, I gradually came to realize something: "My Moon Troupe friends are there for me, so everything will be all right." Because of this peace of mind, I do not feel any unusual pressure or uncertainty. In the current Moon Troupe, all the members are always smiling like they are having fun ... and that makes me very happy. I want to use the teamwork and solidarity they showed in last year's victory at the Sports Meet and aim for making performances that only Moon Troupe can do. I want the troupe to naturally develop its own colors. To accomplish that, I would like to be the kind of person who creates an environment where everyone in the troupe can freely and cheerfully do her best. I want to show all of you the present atmosphere of Moon Troupe, where everyone is spurring each other on because we strongly feel that each and every person makes a performance great. I personally will also try my best, so by all means, please come and see a Moon Troupe performance!

Dear Mihoko,

I am writing this in an empty rehearsal hall…
I have resolved to become one with you and everyone in Moon Troupe and go fighting onward in the rehearsals from now on.
Your smile, Mihoko, gives me courage, energy, and the willingness to do things.
When I see your smile, I end up smiling in spite of myself…
I think there'll be a great deal happening in the future, but I want us to always face each other honestly and sincerely.
Please be my comrade-in-arms and we'll spur each other on!
Finally … the words I wanted to say but couldn't say … as a friend who has watched over you for a long time, I want to tell you: congratulations on becoming a leading musumeyaku.


Dear Asako-san,

When I was in Flower Troupe, you kindly told me, "Mihoko, keep on smiling, always."
Now, I spend each day with a smile on my face as you said. I can do that because of your presence, your kindness, your warmth … and because of all the love that supports me…
I am overjoyed and grateful to have the opportunity to be reunited with you, to stand on the same stage together. With those feelings, and all the power I can muster, I will follow you, Asako-san…
I am always grateful.
From now on … please continue to treat me well.

Sena Jun's Idea!
Oozora Yuuhi's Catchphrase:
"The contrast between her nonchalant, cool gaze and her cute smile is charming. She gets into the cracks of your heart with that charm—Oozora Yuuhi."

Yoh-chan (Oozora) basically has a cool image both on and off the stage, but occasionally she shows an expression that makes you think, "What a cute smile she has right now!" That's her charm. It's annoying that she can get all the way into the very cracks of your heart with that smile! (laughs)

A message for Oozora:

We have become upperclassmen in no time at all. While continuing to do stupid things off stage as classmates like we always have (laughs), on stage at least let us fulfill our roles and responsibilities!

Oozora's impression of Sena:

On stage she is quite powerful and dashing, but normally she is calm and friendly. Like me, she is unexpectedly ordinary (laughs). I think she has a bright atmosphere that makes her easy to approach.

What kind of role (or performance) do you want to see Sena in?

The role of a very human man who maintains his convictions even if he suffers and becomes ragged and torn apart.

A message for Sena:

I want you to create a sensation with Moon Troupe's new style. I also want to liven up our performances as a member of Moon Troupe and as your classmate.


Sena Jun's Idea!
Kiriya Hiromu's Catchphrase:
"She has a profound love for her dog Finch and is Moon Troupe's powerful mood maker. She makes your heart feel at peace—Kiriya Hiromu."

Kiriyan (Kiriya) makes any place brighter just by being there. She does not consciously try to behave like that, so she must be a true mood maker who calms those around her with her spontaneous bright nature. Also... well, at any rate, she is always talking about Finch. (laughs)

A message for Kiriya:

Let's go on doing our best as members of the "Myuu-ken" (Musical Research Department) without forgetting the enthusiasm we had in our youth when we were together in Flower Troupe (laughs).

Kiriya's impression of Sena:

She is sensitive to a lot of different things, so she is careful and always takes action while thinking about the things ahead. I think I need to learn from her. She is the type of person who is always two steps ahead of me.

What kind of role (or performance) do you want to see Sena in?

A totally good-looking young man with a white image. I guess I'd also like to see a fairy-like role, too. (laughs)

A message for Sena:

In the future, straightforward me would like to go on clashing with you, so please catch all my blows. Also, love me and Finch profoundly, please. (laughs)


Sena Jun's Idea!
Tsukifune Sarara's Catchphrase:
"Possessing both audacity and delicacy, she has an original sensitivity. She wraps up your heart in that gaze that overflows with emotion—Tsukifune Sarara."

Sararan (Tsukifune) is often called "hot", but I think she gives off that passion because she is delicate. Her very human hotness is her charm. I think she must have both a delicate side and a bold side that says "Just do it!"

A message for Tsukifune:

Having had the experience of a lead role in a Bow Hall performance several times, I think you have seen many things with your own eyes and felt many things with your body. I want you to value those experiences and help pull up the underclassmen.

Tsukifune's impression of Sena:

She is a person who goes on walking forward, full of life. She only gives off positive things, like brightness and enthusiasm. She also is a sharp-minded and shrewd person.

What kind of role (or performance) do you want to see Sena in?

I like Sena-san's sense of laughter on stage, so I would like to see a variety of comedy pieces.

A message for Sena:

Moon Troupe will follow you with a lot of energy (laughs), so you can go "Boom!" without worry. And then ... I would like to have you wake up the part of me that is sleeping deep inside. (laughs)


Sena Jun's Idea!
Hokushou Kairi's Catchphrase:
"She's a hard worker who is very serious about art. With her sweet smile she wakes your maternal instincts—Hokushou Kairi."

Micchan (Hokushou) is really serious! I love how she never takes her eyes off the upperclassmen when they are acting during rehearsal. But she smiles all of a sudden once she starts talking and saying, "Micchan ne~" (Note: she uses her own nickname instead of a first-person pronoun, which is supposedly an incredibly cute, childish, and girly habit.) That characteristic awakens your maternal instincts.

A message for Hokushou:

I am looking forward to seeing how you will be participating in the main performances from now on since you have graduated from doing shinjinkouen. I want you to release your youthful power on stage.

Hokushou's impression of Sena:

She is a person who gives everyone precise advice and inspires enthusiasm. It makes me think, "I want to become that kind of upperclassman too!" The way she shows herself off as an otokoyaku is wonderful, too.

What kind of role (or performance) do you want to see Sena in?

I want to see her in the kind of role I can't even imagine for her. Like ... a fairy, for example. (laughs)

A message for Sena:

My imagination is filled with the idea of Moon Troupe creating a color of its own, completely different from all the other troupes. I also want to follow you, Asako-san, with all my might!
