SELECTION 10 UNIT | B・O・W
B・O・W 1
Oh? Mayoi-chan, it looks like your earring is slipping out of place a little
Huh? Ahh, thank you very much. I might have gone on stage like that if you hadn’t noticed, Narukami-san.
You don’t have to be that formal with me. We’re all good friends here in our B・O・W, aren’t we? ♪
… By the way, no matter how many times I look at it, this really is such a unique outfit, don’t you think?
Yes, that’s right. I never would have thought we would be all wrapped up like this.
Ufufu. We might as well say that one total cliche while we’re at it, don’t you think? “I am your present,” right…♪
B・O・W 2
… Hmm. As I thought, this-open collar concerns me, but...
It’s not a design that comes across as vulgar. The rose-themed embroidery and ornaments are beautiful and ornate– every single one of them. Even I have to give it its recognition too.
Honestly, how incorrigible. Do you know how hard it was to stop you from leaving the second they told us the direction of the costume-design?
Hmph, of course I was going to. If there was a chance that there would be unnecessary exposure of skin, naturally, I would have no part in it.
But when I saw the rough designs of the outfit, it swayed my opinion.
Anyways. You, look at the roses plated on the soles of these shoes.
“It’s (k)not love?” is not the type of song to make use of showing very intricate footwork, so I would say there are very few, if any, opportunities for the audience to see the bottom of these shoes.
No corners were cut, every part was crafted with care.
You got talkative all of a sudden… Well, it’s fine, fire yourself up more. We’re going to put on a live performance that matches up to the costumes you've acknowledged so much.
B・O・W 3
While I wouldn’t say it’s been smooth sailing, you were a great help in getting us all on the same page early on in the process.
— All HiMERU did was convey the things he noticed.
Anyone can tell the theme of “It’s (k)not lov?” is about romance just by looking at the lyrics.
But should we emphasize the melancholy, or go for a more subdued, mature feeling... It's a song that is open to different interpretations too, right?
Indeed. That is one of this song's strengths, but if we have different interpretations of the song, the expressions and moves we make will be different as well.
After all, as short of a time as it is, HiMERU does not want the unit he belongs to to be seen as a disjointed group lacking in synchrony.
B・O・W 4
Hmm. Now that I’m thinking it over… I may have come on too strong with the way I spoke to you during dance practice.
It’s just that you always lower your gaze and end up so reserved, even though you’re exceptionally skilled. It feels like such a waste.
N-No! I know you were thinking of me when you said those things.
Besides. I tend to be the one who is the instructor, so I learned a lot from it.
Is that so? I’m glad to hear you say that. I look forward to working with you.
Yes, the pleasure is mine… ♪
B・O・W 5
From the fluttering ribbons to the curtains that appear in time with the curtain call, it is all so very beautiful.
Yes, and just hearing the audience gasp in amazement while looking out at this scene... ♪ I’m as pleased as can be ♪
Honestly, can’t you save your impressions for later??
What I mean is, look at the audience. The endless applause and beaming smiles are trying to coax us back onto the stage.
So you mean to say there is a chance we’ll have to jump into an impromptu encore?
Kakaka, precisely! It is far too early for the curtains to close. Hurry up and get ready.
