Ken-circle.png
Sai and Altessimo are participating in a matcha PR campaign! After getting into a pinch at the venue, the idols had to use some quick thinking to overcome it.

The decision has been made to hold a nationwide matcha PR campaign.
Sai and Altessimo have been put in charge of providing music as part of the advertisement.
In addition, they'll be shooting a PV and participating in a tea ceremony as part of the PR campaign.

The tea ceremony will be broadcast on the news, making it a great opportunity to show everyone the beauty of the tea ceremony (much to Kuro's delight).
Through Kuro's influence, all the members are eager to contribute to the matcha promotion effort.

However, it seems that a problem at the venue may just damper some of that enthusiasm...


With the appeal of the tea ceremony and PV, let's make the matcha PR campaign a success!

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki I don't mind having my hair done for me. It's interesting seeing how it changes.
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura ...♪... Yes! I had a great phrase come to me. I'd better write it down.
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi Matcha is bitter when you first take a gulp... That sort of paw-nch is what I'm aiming to have as an idol! ♪
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi I truly feel that all my work is connected to the tea ceremony.

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png So this is the tea ceremony venue… I expected it to be quiet, but it appears that there are quite a few people here.
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png This is a countrywide tea ceremony PR campaign, so there are lots of iemoto gathered here. There are plenty of reporters, journalists, and other sorts of publicity staff as well.

Kiyosumi-san is going to be telling everyone about the splendor of the tea ceremony today. As for us, we're in charge of composing the music for the campaign. Um, Tsuzuki-san?!

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png What's the matter?
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png It's nothing, just... please, don't disappear on me while I'm trying to talk to you.
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png I just heard an interesting sound and wanted to investigate further, is all. Don't fret. I remember it just fine.

As composers, we should try to express the merits of matcha in our own way.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png Right. Let's do the best we can!

【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi T.png Ten tsuku tenten bunchaccha! Sai has arrived!
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png Today, we will be educating the populace on the charms of the tea ceremony. We have taken care to prepare sweets as well.

However, everyone appears to be passing us by...

【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png The guests today sure are strangely indifferent. Why's that, I wonder?

Hm? There's a man onstage over there. I can't quite see his face...

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png That man...
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Is there a problem?

Oh, dear me! That's your grandfather, isn't it?

【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi T.png Looks like even the head of the Kiyosumi household decided to join the paw-ty!
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Perhaps this is why everyone seems to be giving us the cold shoulder?

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png People have been complimenting my manners. I'm surprised... Kiyosumi-san must have taught me well.

How have you been holding up, Tsuzuki-san?

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png It's fascinating... I feel as if I'm part of the tea ceremony myself.
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png ... Part of the tea ceremony?
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png Yes. As I drink tea and savor the moment here, I feel as if I'm playing an instrument in the grand, magnificent concerto of the tea ceremony.
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png Of course you'd say that... Oh, look, people from the news. You'd like to interview us?
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png A question for me, hm?

That's right. I haven't done a lot of composition lately. No, I don't particularly have plans for anything new, at least not in the foreseeable future. Things are different now. My priority is devoting myself to Altessimo with Rei-san.

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png I understand now. My family's circumstances must be the reason for the guests' hesitance. I apologize most profusely for dragging you two into my personal disputes.

I must devise a way to turn this around...

【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi T.png Not to worry! I've got just the thing! Pull up a seat, ladies and gentlemen. I'll dazzle you with a tail about tea ceremonies!
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Ah, look, a reporter. Great timing. Yoohoo! Why don't you join us for some fun over here, sir?
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png People have begun to gather! Nekoyanagi-san. Hanamura-san... I owe both of you.
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Why don't we brighten up the mood, now? Pay your grandfather no mind.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png Tsuzuki-san. Do you mind if I ask you a question about earlier?

You said you haven't written any music recently, but you wrote a song for me to play not too long ago. Why not mention that?

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png If I even said so much as a word about a new song, they would have expected me to make a formal announcement about it.

I don't think that song is ready to be shown to the world like that. It was incomplete and it lacked soul.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png ... Soul, huh? That must have been my fault. I'm sorry.
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki T.png No, no. It's not just your playing that I refer to. The song itself just needs some work, that's all. We can work on that together, poco a poco. But until that's done, we can just keep it between us, alright?
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura T.png Yes! Certainly! I'm sorry I got distracted. Let's keep enjoying the tea!

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png It appears Nekoyanagi-san's story has indeed helped inject some life into the atmosphere.
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Now's our chance! Boy, why don't we see what Kuro-chan has to say?
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi T.png Pawsome idea, Madame Butterfly! When it comes to tea ceremonies, nobody knows more than Kuro-kun!

Say, Kuro-kun, I have some napkins tucked into my kimono - they're called kaishi, right? Do teach us how to use them!

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png After drinking the tea, you should take a napkin off the stack and use it to clean off your mouth. Now, when you take one of these sweets, you should place it on the stack like so.
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura T.png Ah, the pattern on this tea bowl is just exquisite, isn't it?
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi T.png Very observant, just as I have come to expect from you, Hanamura-san. Everyone, please take the time to appreciate the pottery as you drink.

I am aware the tea ceremony appears complicated, but... I believe it is an enjoyable experience. I hope I have demonstrated that to you all.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png Tsuzuki-san, good morning. It's time for filming to begin.
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki+ T.png Rei-san, you sound a touch nervous, but you look like you're hanging in there.
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png I am. I thought the tea ceremony was a good experience.

It's a very complex tradition and I can't say I understand all of it, but... it was nice learning about the heart, history, and hospitality of those who practice it.

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki+ T.png I agree. We got to learn something by experiencing it. I truly felt immersed in the world of the tea ceremony.

I do believe we should channel these experiences into our song.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png Yes! Let's go show everyone the world of tea!

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png The first half of the filming has been completed.
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png Nyahaha! We're spreading the word about matcha!
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura+ T.png Looks like someone learned a thing or two about tea the other day, hm?
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png They showed my purr-formance on the news, you know!
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png We owe it to Hanamura-san for calling the attention of the reporters.
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura+ T.png Oh, how you flatter me! I don't need your thanks. Really, it was all on Kirio-chan.
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png Making laughter appear out of thin air - that's my job!
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png Nekoyanagi-san, Hanamura-san... You have my most sincere gratitude.
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura+ T.png My, you're really not holding back today! Well, it seems our break is coming to a close. Shall we join the others?
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png Let's go full speed ahead in the second half, denyansu!

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki+ T.png We got the all clear from the director. This means...
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png Shooting is done! Good work, everyone!
【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki+ T.png I'm quite worn out. It was nice playing Japanese-style music for once though, wasn't it?
【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png Yes! I believe we were able to do the tea ceremony some justice.

One day... I'll be able to do your song justice and give it a soul as well!

【Deep Green】Kei Tsuzuki+ T.png I'm looking forward to it. But don't worry about it so much. We'll work on it one step at a time, the two of us. Poco a poco.

Ah, all this has made me quite sleepy. Goodnight.

【Deep Green】Rei Kagura+ T.png Tsuzuki-san, please don't go to sleep here! Oh no, he's out cold already...

【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png The shooting was a success. Thank you, everyone.
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png Matcha world power! We went out with a bang!
【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura+ T.png By the by, Kuro-chan, I saw you talking to your grandfather the other day. Perhaps my concern is misplaced here, but is everything alright?
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png I appreciate the concern. I am fine. As usual, he knit his brow in disapproval at my actions, but he could not deny that everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves. Still... I hope to one day earn his endorsement.

For that reason, I hope to participate in more similar endeavors.

【Deep Green】Shoma Hanamura+ T.png Fufu, what a nice face you have on. I'm glad you were able to talk.
【Surprising Taste】Kirio Nekoyanagi+ T.png We're always happy to lend you a paw, Kuro-kun!
【Modest Heart】Kuro Kiyosumi+ T.png Y-yes...! Both of you... Please continue watching over me.
