Home Screen Base (Time based) There's no excuse for morning sluggishness! Wash your face and get started with the day! It's lunchtime already? You need to eat well to have energy in the afternoon.
I end each day with stretches. It's important to take that extra time to prevent build-up of fatigue. Fun fact. The French sleep an hour longer on average than the Japanese. Meaning, I'm off to bed. Bonne nuit! School Uniform I started training to perform at a young age, but there's still much for me to learn. Every day is so exciting!
Karen wanted to test my courage with some scary stuff. But I'm absolutely not going to do that!
I see plays or films on the days off from school. Do you have anything you'd like to recommend?
I'm confident in my dancing skills. No one can beat me at locking.
I may not look it, but I'm not bad at science and math. But I won't help you with your homework.
You saw me in the rehearsal room on Sunday? N-No, that wasn't me! It must have been someone else! Rehearsal Outfit Student Number 11 of the Seisho Music Academy Actor Training Department's 99th class, Claudine Saijo. Ready to begin!
The basics are the most important. Once you have a foundation, you can build up on it in all sorts of directions.
Hmm? Want something?
The bigger the obstacles in my way, the more motivated I get to overcome them.
Cold drinks lower your body temperature, so it's not good to have too much.
It hurts me to admit it, but I can learn so much by watching her moves... I'll catch up to her soon, though! There was a lot of room for improvement in last year's "Starlight." I need to perform better this year.
There's always something happening in the dorm. so you never get bored.
It's nice to go for a long run sometimes, to clear your head.
When did she learn to speak French so fluently!?
My hair? It's the same as my mom's. I quite like the look of it.
Would you like to perform a duet with me? I will give you all the assistance you need.
I get along with Futaba very well. Maybe it's because we're both honest and direct.
The other day, the girls were watching a movie of a performance I was in as a child... It was so embarrassing. It's called "Ally." Have you heard of it?
Being made painfully aware of what you'll never be good enough to attain... I never want to experience that again.
Karen and Hikari are in love with "Starlight." Me? Yes, I like it too, of course.
If I'm to perform with her I have to be so brilliant that I'll outshine her! There was one time when Futaba stayed in my room. She belongs together with Kaoruko, though.
"War's not too bad if I get to test my strength fighting against her!"
I have a battle scene with Futaba. We're going to make it spectacular!
I'm playing a knight who enjoys fighting. She's more of a brawler than the chivalrous type.
There's a scene where I'm training alone by a lake. That's where I want to emphasize not her strength, but her elegance.
"I will put her to shame with my perfected skills!"
How's it looking? The costume's quite decent, no?
This time, I will overwhelm Maya Tendo with my deep understanding of the role and excellent expressiveness.
There are few characters besides mine in this play who thirsts for battle. I need to make sure I convey this attitude clearly.
I think this play could use some lighthearted moments in the middle. Wouldn't you agree?
"They're calling on me to join the fray? They must be at their wits' end to request my help." Since I speak French, I read the original script and shared my thoughts with Junna.
"Why don't you join my personal guard, D'Artagnan?
Playing a villain is quite enjoyable, and Cardinal Richelieu also has a good side. I hope I can express it well on stage.
We all went to a flower festival the other day. Karen randomly hugged a costumed mascot there.
My mom's French, and I visit her in France every year. I want to to l'Opéra again.
Flowers are nice, but it's me you should be looking at.
Since my character is in a position of authority, I need to convey her gravitas.
Don't step on my dress.
"Don't think you can outwit me. I have informants everywhere."
"The pen is mightier than the sword" is a phrase coined by Cardinal Richelieu, but the original meaning was different.
I'm playing Cardinal Richelieu. She devoted her life to serving France, but in this play she's the villain. Scripts from plays put on by former students are stored in the school library, and all of them are filled with passion.
What would I wish for if it would come true? A c'est un secret!
After I see a play, I think really hard about how I'd perform the central role. I'm like...a stageaholic?
You need to absorb as much as you can if you want to improve as a Stage Girl. What play should I see next?
Aladdin is no hero. He's just a run-of-the-mill slacker. Maybe that's why people are able to relate to him so much...
"Genie of the Lamp, you're my best friend!"
A nice cup of tea always seems to taste better after watching a play.
"Work is such a hassle! Oh, how I wish I could live my life doing nothing but enjoying myself."
I'm loafing around to help get into the spirit of Aladdin's indolence, but I'm going stir-crazy. I want to practice.
"I must win a duel to prove myself to the Genie of the Lamp? Then that's just what I'll do!" The prince cracked nuts with his teeth in the original story. It'd be best not to tell Karen that.
"Clara, I was able to return to my original form thanks to you. Let me show you to the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets."
It's hard to picture what a dragée is. It's easier to picture it if you call it a konpeito drop.
"Like a broken doll, I will keep cracking nuts all my life."
"All I am now is a hideous wooden doll... There should be no one who would love me."
"That is the queen of the Land of Sweets. She has a beautiful dance."
There are two basic ways the Nutcracker can end. As for our performance... You'll have to see it to find out.
I may have appeared on stage as a prima, but that was a long time ago. I need to study the original material again.
A lot of Stage Girls have experience in ballet, like Akira from Siegfeld.
I think how we show the grand pas de deux, specially arranged for performance, is the biggest issue. Welcome to "Dazzling Vampire", where I, Claudine Saijo, will be the lead!
I'm looking forward to seeing how Maya Tendo performs in this play...
"How dare they desecrate my repose! I will never forgive those humans! They will know true terror!"
I've arranged "Dazzling Vampire" so that it's not like anyone has ever seen before. I'm sure you'd enjoy watching it!
I don't like Japanese horror, but I don't mind gothic stories.
"I will take back the soul of my beloved Elizabeth and execute vengeance upon those who have sealed me away!"
"Listen humans! I have awakened after 500 years of slumber. I am a vampire! You will all become my subjects...!"
"Everybody? ...Hah hah, I see. My fame precedes me."
"This country called Japan is despicable. I despise those bright lights that shine all night long. If those filthy humans think they rule over darkness..."
Heh heh. It is the story of a vampire who came back to life in the modern day. I think this outfit is only fitting.
Hitsuki is one of the leading roles, so we need Ichie to step up her game more.
The story changed, so I changed the performance too. That’s how I approached the script.
I’m curious to see how the two sisters - the lead role - will be performed, but I‘m even more curious how Maya Tendo will play the role of Susanowo.
Tsukuyomi‘s role changed quite a bit since our last play. My biggest task is how to tackle this change.
I thought Tsukuyomi didn’t really have a presence at first, but after a while she grew on me.
“I see. You are the ones that Amenominakanushi told me about. The land is in grave peril. Let me give you my help.”
“There is no need to apologize. Gods and goddess are meant to be feared and worshipped.”
“Heh heh. Still, you remind me of myself.”
“Why are you shivering behind your sister, little one?”
“Take this magatama. Save this land, priestesses of Takamagahara.” Login I'll start practicing before anyone else. My Theater Base What to do now?
I can get really angry when people mess with me.
I should prepare for tomorrow's classes...
Getting exercise makes me feel super!
I like Japanese cuisine, especially sashimi.
Oh, is that how you translate this into Japanese? Interesting.
I treat myself to macaroons on days when I worked really hard.
Would you like a glass of French grape juice?
It's vital to check performance reviews. Do you want to read them together?
Whew, made it through!
Let's do this scene again! Member These shoes are nice and worn in now...
There's no obstacle that can't be overcome, right?
Un, deux, trois... Hm? Do you need something?
This nine-person cast isn't bad, if you ask me.
It's difficult to tell what your own shortcomings are.
Now, with which emotions do I color this performance?
I'm confident in my arm-wrestling abilities. Want to try me?
Looking after the stage props is one of the duties of Stage Girls. We need to treat them with care. Training by a lake is all well and good, but I just want to take a shower.
I have to keep practicing the parts I'm not good at.
The key to the battle scenes is to have fun.
Whoa, you startled me. What is it?
These scenes are physically demanding, so you need a lot of stamina... Thanks for the towel!
It's nice to go out and do some sketching outdoors for a change of pace.
Don't you think knights and Stage Girls have some things in common? I have to make sure I don't get this dress dirty.
I'm glad we went to the flower festival.
I bought a rose petal bath bomb, since there's so much talk about flowers lately.
Why don't we find somewhere to display the flowers we got at the festival?
A show needs some truly dazzling scenes, don't you agree?
Trying to recruit even enemies if they're resourceful enough... She's really something.
Doing some research about French culture of the time can only help with getting the role right. I heard Futaba has been researching Arabian dances.
My shoes are all worn out. "O Genie, I wish for a new pair of shoes!" Heheh.
If I got to play Aladdin, I'd want to wear a blue costume.
What would you wish for if you knew it would come true?
My maman used to read an Aladdin storybook to me when I was little.
Maya Tendo's Genie of the Lamp was something else... I should go practice some more.
Maybe I should organize my play programs. Watson may have thought that HE was the main character.
The set this time has some real London-like atmosphere. It's beautiful.
I have a bit of time... Maybe I should write about today's umeboshi incident.
The difficult truth eludes me still, but I should finish my homework first.
A letter of intent, and a letter of challenge... Both are interesting ideas.
I'll get my pen and notepad, and get on the case!
I have confidence in my stamina, but today's investigation has me exhausted... Ngh...! This is one tough nut to crack...!
All three of Tchaikovsky's ballets are very famous.
Karen's been cracking too many nuts! The terrace is covered in shells!
The doll is called ugly in the play, but I think it's quite cute.
I have a nut snack here that Nana made. Let's eat it together.
Moving in straight lines like a doll... I think I still have more to learn.
Nutcracker dolls are more for decoration than practical use.
I can't believe it's been over 100 years since the initial performance. Why in the world are all vampire costumes so dark?
Heh heh. I can't wait to see the look on their faces.
How's this outfit? Isn't it dazzling?
Maybe this is a good opportunity to watch other horrors...
I shall lead you to "Dazzling Vampire"!
"Heed my command! Storms, grow larger and devour the land! Lightnings, shatter the mountains and strike the forests!"
"Hahaha. The blood of a beautiful lady like yourself will taste delicious."
You won't believe it when you see how gorgeous my modern vampire is! "I am Tsukuyomi - the goddess of night and tranquility. What brings you to my sacred place, humans?
I like how Tsukuyomi's outfit is mystical.
Phew... What did you think of my Tsukuyomi? Did you feel anything?
I think I might have a warm cup of tea and look at the Moon tonight.
Tsukuyomi is envious of her more successful sister. I think I know that feeling.
I can't wait to see how Ichie performs Hitsuki's role. I learned many things by playing Tsukuyomi.
Hitsuki's role is strongly connected to Tsukuyomi this time around. Vs Revue Lobby No matter who I'm on stage with, I always put on the best performance I can! Assignments I'm ready for more! I won't let her best me!
Losing is out of the question. I'll complete any Assignment!
I don't mind keeping you company. Which Assignment will we do next? Win I'll make the next Revue just as mesmerizing! I'll crush anyone who opposes me! Let's go home, Genie of the Lamp. So? Have any sweet dreams? It’s fun to play a vampire. Did you enjoy how I performed Tsukuyomi?
