It is a pleasure to be here today. I would like to start out with a self-introduction from each of you.

Everyone: …

Um…

Hiromi: Ah, my apologies! We haven’t decided which one of us is going first. (Looks at the members) What do you all want to do?

Mikera: Well, now that we’re here, you can start, Hiromi.

Akashi: Please do, Hiromi-san.

Hiromi: I’m not the type to go first, but… Now’s not really the time to say that, is it? I’m one of the candidates representing Emerald, Hiromi. I’m the oldest, in case you needed to know. As you can see, I’m not quite used to interviews yet, and I apologize for showing you something unflattering. I’m pleased to be here.

Mikera: Guess that means I’m next. I’m one of the candidates representing Scarlet, Mikera. I’m the youngest, but I have the most room for growth. It’s nyai… (Ahem) It’s nice to be here.

Akashi: I am one of the candidates representing Navy, Akashi! It is an honor to have such a wonderful space prepared for us today! I believe we will be able to introduce this song’s brilliance!

Meguru: I am also one of the candidates representing Navy, Meguru. Let us take great care today.

Cate: I’m one of the candidates representing Emerald, Cate! Let’s chat it up today!

Thank you very much. Now, please tell me how you felt while recording “Hello Future!!!”

Meguru: Right. When I first heard this song… There was a vitalic, warm, and charming energy to it. It is a role that the other members suit, but I felt a slight apprehension during recording.

Cate: Really?

Mikera: I couldn’t tell at all.

Akashi: I believe you were able to widen our variation, Meguru-san. You provide something like an adult’s depth… Additionally, hearing you sing faster than usual felt fresh!

Meguru: I see. I am fortunate if I was able to show a new side of oneself.

Cate: Your high notes were amazing too, Akashi!

Hiromi: Yeah. You held them longer than I figured you could.

Akashi: Thank you very much!

Hiromi: Also… It was difficult to decide where we should breathe during the chorus too, right?

Mikera: We had to keep the rhythm correct, so it was kind of a struggle.

Cate: You got an okay on all of your parts right away though, Mikera! You did super great!

Mikera: Well, of course I did. Though, I think you were the one who best expressed this song, Cate.

Cate: Eh, little ol’ me?

Mikera: When you sang the part that goes “To make the dreams we see come true someday,” you really made the part yours. It felt exciting.

Cate: Uwaah… Thank you!

Mikera: Don’t think too hard about it. I’m just telling the truth.

Meguru: Hiromi was hurriedly practicing the bass part.

Hiromi: I really was. It was sudden enough to surprise me.

Mikera: It was supposed to be me, Akashi, and Cate at the start of the song, but then the staff suggested that we add a low tone.

Meguru: Yet, he was able to make it his own after only a few practice sessions, which was an impressive show of his adaptability.

Hiromi: Ahaha. Thank you. It’s sort of embarrassing to be praised by Meguru-san while being face to face with him…

Meguru: Is that so? Shall I fluster you even more, then?

Hiromi: Eh?!

Akashi: You should leave that for later. We are in the middle of an interview right now.

Meguru: Aah, you are right, I shall look forward to it later.

Hiromi: Eeh…?

Finally, if you could please give a message to GLANZ.

Hiromi: Thank you very much for listening to the album. We took on an electro pop song this time, and it became a very good experience for this group. Wearing a style of clothes I’ve never worn before for this photo shoot was fun as well.

Akashi: Yes, our outfits felt futuristic. I felt that the sleeves were short.

Mikera: Don’t you think your impressions of them are too straightforward?

Meguru: Mikera usually gets angry when you say he looks like a cat, so I was impressed that he responded immediately when asked to do so during the photo shoot. GLANZ, burn the sight of Mikera’s adorable pose into your retinas.

Mikera: Okay, could you not try to embarrass me this time?

Cate: I have to keep putting in a whole buncha effort so I can show off all kinds of different Cates! Thanks as always, GLANZ~~ I love you!

Mikera: We’re gonna keep fighting our way through this audition, so please keep giving us your support.
