sometimes I kinda wonder if yokoyama has like. some sort of weird personal grudge over majima or something for whatever reason. because it’s honestly really odd and sort of offputting to see a game’s director dislike a widely beloved long-time character who is almost-universally regarded as an icon in the franchise, so vocally to the extent of being rude about it right next to the character’s voice actor (who loves playing him and appreciates him as a character way more)

Happy Birthday!
Summary: It’s your birthday! And the Shelby brothers refuse to let another one of their baby sister’s birthday go by without some proper celebrating. 
Tumblr media
(Gif by @benson-shelby​)  A/N: It’s actually my birthday today, but due to quarantine I can’t really celebrate it with anyone. So I decided to celebrate with the Shelby’s! Via this little fic, purely self-indulgent, to cheer myself up and to remember some great birthdays I had in the past ;) Set in season 1, you’re just a few years younger than John. Words: 1710 *** “John, get her tea.” “I thought you had the tea.” “Well, then get the milk!” urgent whispers sounded in the hallway. 
“I’m not your bloody maid, am I, Ada,” John spat not so quietly in return.
You were lying in bed, awake for hours already. This was the day you’d become a woman, or so Ada had said, but still, your siblings were bickering like little children. It brought a smile to your face. Another annoyed grumble, “Shhh, you’re going to wake her up!” “Am not,” he hissed, “I got your fucking milk, didn’t I!” “Oi!” another low voice joined in, “Ada, you really need to take a look at the toast.” “What about the toast, Arthur?” “Burned it,” he mumbled and you could hear John giggle softly in the dark. Ada sighed deeply, “For fucks sake, fine, I’ll do it. Wait here.” As the least subtle brothers in the world shuffled about in the hallway, you thought of your other birthdays. When you were little, they were celebrated with mum and everyone gathered. During the war, no one paid attention to birthdays any longer. And now, after the war, people tried to get their lives back on track. Only last week you’d made sure Finn had gotten a birthday he’d never forget. And now they tried to return the favour, obviously. Another few minutes and about a thousands curses passed, when they finally tiptoed into the room. Closing your eyes, you decided to play along. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Slowly you sat up and put on a groggy voice, “What are you doing in here?” “You are the worst actor ever, Y/N,” John grinned. “Am I?” you feigned innocence. Ada handed you a cup of tea as John plopped down onto bed next to you, “Did you hear about Arthur burning the toast then?” “I didn’t burn it,” he protested, “Only… blackened it a little.” Ada sent her eldest brother a look, “Polly’s making some more.” “Thanks for the tea,” you smiled and took a sip. Frowning, you narrowed your eyes at John. “You’re not a child anymore, Y/N!” he explained happily. “Move over,” Arthur shoved his brother aside and hugged you, “Happy birthday, sweetheart. This is for you, go on, open it.” Wrapped clumsily in some brown paper, he’d given you a revolver. And just as you were staring at it, Aunt Polly walked in with toast in a lovely shade of light brown. “A gun,” she demanded at once, “For fucks sake, Arthur.” “She needs it to protect herself, Pol,” he returned, and with pride in his voice he added, “And look: it’s a lady’s gun!” You turned the weapon over and saw it was small, delicate and laid in. Still, deadly as any weapon it was. “My turn,” John said, bouncing up and down in excitement almost. He handed Polly your tea and when she sniffed it, she said strictly, “Alright, who put whiskey in her morning tea?” No one answered. Quickly John handed you his present, hardly wrapped at all. Inside, you found a peaky cap, razorblades included. “Honestly, John…” Ada sighed, “She’s not a bloody Blinder!” “It’s all she’s ever wanted!” John called out, “Ever since she could walk, she tried to steal our caps, forever talking about wanting to join us wherever we went. Now she’s got her own!” “I love it,” you beamed up at him, “All I ever wanted.” “Alright,” Ada interrupted, “Clearly Y/N has too many brothers so it’s up to me to turn her into a lady.” “Please do,” Polly sighed, “Or the only interest she’ll ever have is weapons.” She knew her niece well, “That and gambling…” Your sister combed a few rebellious strands of hair behind your ear and planted a kiss on your cheek, “My darling little sister, soon you’ll learn you have more than one way of getting a man to do what you want.” You blinked a few times. This had always been more of Ada’s area of expertise. “She has no idea what you’re on about,” Polly smirked. “Thank God,” Arthur and John said in unison. “Sit still,” Ada demanded and she started applying the lipstick, “Sit. Still.” You furrowed your brows at the unfamiliar feeling, “Just your colour,” Ada commented happily, “As I thought.” “Not bad, that,” Arthur commented as he tilted his head. John leaned back and examined you as well, “Yeah, well, it’s red, isn’t it? I like red...” “Lipstick, a gun and razors,” Ada commented matter-of-factly, “the most deadly Shelby as of yet, Pol!” Aunt Polly rolled her eyes. “Happy birthday, Y/N!” eleven-year-old Finn came running to the room and jumped up into your arms, “You can have mine!” And he thrust his homemade catapult into your hands by form of a gift. “Another weapon, Pol,” Arthur eyed her, “Whatever will become of our innocent little sister?” Aunt Polly rubbed her nose and stammered a little, “Well, you know I don’t agree with you joining the family business… And God knows I’ve tried to rein you in just a little…” “But,” you interrupted, eyes glittering mischievously. “But…” she looked down, “I got you something for your shoes.” “Shoes?” you looked at the little black package she’d handed you. John suddenly burst out laughing in realisation, Arthur tried to hide his face in his hands and Ada commented dryly, “So, no better than us, eh, Pol.” Slowly you opened the package. Inside, you found a small black butterfly knife. *** A few hours had passed, with the regular nonsense that you cherished more than anything in the world. The family was gathered in the kitchen, everyone argued and life seemed perfect. But, one thing was missing. “Where’s Tommy?” you finally asked. “He had business,” Polly answered shortly, “No idea when he’ll be back.” You eyed John carefully, the brother you always turned to, “You think he forgot?” “Nah,” he tried cheering you up, “And you’re doing alright with us, right? Don’t need grumpy here…” You smiled, but still it hurt a little. And then, unexpectedly, Tommy waltzed into the house like it was any other day. “Y/N,” he announced himself coldly, “I need you to come with me.” “Why?” you challenged, “We’re just celebra-“ “I said now, Y/N. Family business.” Tommy interrupted in a low voice. “Thomas…” Aunt Polly started, but he held up a hand to silence her. Then he turned to you and repeated, “Come with me.” Begrudgingly, you got up and followed your brother. Looking back, Arthur motioned you to move it, which made you all the more suspicious. Without moving a muscle in his face, Tommy opened the door and said, “Go on.” You stepped outside and the second you did, applause resounded through the streets. In front of every house, people had gathered and they cheered like you were royalty. You couldn’t believe your eyes. “Tommy, did you…” you started. “He’s been at it all morning,” John explained as he crossed you in the doorway. A few moments later, the sound of hooves echoed in the streets. “What the hell is this,” you said at once. “This,” Tommy made a broad hand gesture, “Is a gypsy on a horse.” “And what, pray tell, is he doing in the middle of town?” You recognised Johnny Dogs now, who called out, “Little Y/N Shelby! Happy birthday, love!  How the hell are you!” “I’m grand, Johnny,” you said numbly, “What’s with the horse?” He got off the horse and patted her flank, “She was a lovely filly as first. Sweet, but could never quite be tamed. Third filly out of Shadow, gorgeous beast.” “So, we decided,” Tommy mumbled as he lit a cigarette slowly, “she needed a rider who’d understand.” “What? Being a gorgeous beast?” your cynical reply came. Tommy rolled his eyes, “ ‘could never be tamed’ “. “Well, go on,” Johnny urged, smiling from ear to ear, “Up you get, little one!” Gingerly, you walked over to the horse. As you stroked her nose, Tommy handed you his cigarette and said softly, “What do you think of her?” “She’s an absolute beauty.” Tommy nodded, “Just like you,” but before you could send him a thankful look, he’d walked off again. And with the whole of Small Heath watching on, you climbed up on the horse. *** It was almost midnight when you woke up on a hard cold bench. A splitting headache washed over you as you tried to lift your head. You touched your temple and noticed some blood on your knuckles. Vaguely, you remembered being in the Garrison only a few hours before. You remembered Tommy had closed the betting den and the pub being packed with people, all celebrating your birthday. Memories of card games, songs and laughs came back to you. And the whiskey, so much whiskey. Slowly, you hoisted yourself up. As you looked around, you recognised the inside of the police cell. And you felt at your laced up boots: the knife was still safe inside. A sigh of relief escaped you. “How’s the head, eh?” Recognising your brother’s voice, you looked up without meeting his eye. “What did I do?” you asked finally. After a pause, Tommy replied, “Well, you celebrated your birthday alright.” “Did I have fun?” “Yes, I’d say so.” You frowned, “Why am I in here?” He cleared his throat, “It started with the barmaid and ended with you head-butting a policeman. Quite the Shelby night…” “Is that pride I hear?” Tommy didn’t answer, so you send him your best innocent smile. Eventually he asked, “Was it worth it?” “Hell yes,” you replied in a flash. “Little devil, celebrating her fucking birthday, eh?” “Admit it!” you pointed at him, “you areproud!”
And Thomas Shelby actually smiled through the bars, “Fucking right I am.” When he started to walk away, you shouted, “Oi! What about my bail?” “Paid it!” he called from a distance. “How am I supposed to get home?” you raised your voice even more. Tommy’s reply echoed, “Take your horse. She’s outside.” Myhorse? And just as a policeman with a head in bandages opened the door of your cell, you smiled to yourself: Best birthday ever.
Tommy left the station before you were released, but before he’d gone, he finally said:  
“Happy birthday, Y/N.”

Benedict Cumberbatch On Journey Of ‘Patrick Melrose,’ More ‘Sherlock,’ Brexit, ‘Dr. Strange’ & Pay Equity Transparency
by Dominic Patten 
SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details of tomorrow’s Patrick Melrose finale on Showtime and the ending of Avengers: Infinity War.
“This is a window into English society and a particular story and a very cherished character that is very unusual, I think, in dramatic terms,” Benedict Cumberbatch says of Patrick Melrose, the limited series about addiction and abuse at the enriched upper echelon that concludes tomorrow on Showtime. “We have seen the deprivations of addiction and sexual abuse in many courses of society, maybe not as much in this course of English society and so yes, it’s a very different take on something we know from other dramas,” the Emmy winner and Oscar nominee adds.
As devotees of Edward St. Aubyn’s Booker Prize-nominated books know, the story of the fast-witted and deeply wounded Melrose ends with a 2005 funeral, some forgiveness and a new start of sorts. Of course, as Cumberbatch admits, it is quite the journey – which is in many ways the point of the series co-starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Hugo Weaving, Prasanna Punwanarajah and Allison Williams.
While Cumberbatch firmly declined to discuss his recent halting of an attack on a London cyclist by muggers, the actor was very chatty about the Melrosebucket-list project, which he led and produced as well. In addition, having disappeared in a puff of dust in his role of Dr. Strange in the blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War, Cumberbatch spoke of what’s next for Marvel’s supreme sorcerer. He also offered some insight on whether a return to Baker Street in his award-winning Sherlock is in the offing, his upcoming Brexit project and why grownups need to sit down and speak forthrightly about who is paid what.
DEADLINE: Unlike a lot of adaptations, the Patrick Melrose limited series stayed pretty true to the five Patrick Melrose books by Edward St. Aubyn. Was that a difficult path to stay on when the small-screen medium has its own possibilities for telling the story?
CUMBERBATCH: I was very nervous about it, despite it being a bucket-list role because I knew the books had quite rightfully a variety of very passionate of devotees and they are difficult to adapt. There’s such rich source material and extraordinary set pieces in the books as they are.
DEADLINE: Such as, because you obviously melded a few different parts together at times too.
CUMBERBATCH: Such as the near-schizoid episode of voices fighting for control of him, in that moment of possession in the hotel room. When he’s pushing himself to the very limit of his capacity to consume drugs, at near a suicidal limit, and that sort of leaps off the pages and actually, like oh my God, that would be an extraordinary thing to try and play or portray.
DEADLINE: Why?
CUMBERBATCH: Well, that horror show of internal voices and the struggle they all make for the demands on him and how powerful an influence they are on him and so I took that scene and tried to rework it. I am not a writer, but I looked back to the book and I took another section and I wanted it to ramp up to a confrontation with his father, with him like brother, like Hamlet — or some productions of Hamlet — being consumed by his father’s spirit and impersonating his father’s voice and that being the source of near-cliff-edge moments.
And there were countless other moments: the scenes with HRH, the confrontations with his mother, with his father, the dinner scene in what is in Book One but Episode 2 of ours. The whole story leads towards that fateful day when he’s first abused by his father.
DEADLINE: Now it’s funny, Benedict, that you mentioned Hamlet because obviously you did Hamlet not too long ago on stage in London.
CUMBERBATCH: (laughs) Dominic, it’s entirely purposeful.
DEADLINE: Purposeful perhaps, but your Patrick is a very different look at the English upper class than audiences are used to on this side of the pond.
CUMBERBATCH: You know, this is a window into English society and a particular story and a very cherished character that is very unusual, I think, in dramatic terms. We have seen the deprivations of addiction and sexual abuse in many courses of society, maybe not as much in this course of English society, and so yes, it’s a very different take on something we know from other dramas.
DEADLINE: Patrick Melrose the series has received a lot of acclaim, but still, do you think that new and much harsher perspective on the country house backdrop, a favorite subject matter, is potentially jarring to an American audience?
CUMBERBATCH: I know it’s quite a stretch to ask an audience to go on this journey. It’s not an easy watch but God knows it wasn’t an easy life and it’s certainly not an easy journey that Patrick goes on, so pity the audience but pity the subject even more. I think it’s fantastic that people have stuck with it.
DEADLINE: Clearly Edward’s books are the primary window, as you said, through which we view this look at addiction. So how — besides an obvious path not taken — did you, director Edward Berger and others on the production seek to capture a genuine insight on the matter?
CUMBERBATCH: We were very much advised by two people who were addicts as well as having been very honest about his own experiences. I didn’t want to alienate that world at all. I wanted them to feel, however, uncomfortable the watch might be, that we were being accurate. But also, I think that this is a story of salvation, so it’s universal. You don’t have to have experienced the trauma that he has on any level to go on the journey.
DEADLINE: How so?
CUMBERBATCH: I think that’s a testament to Teddy’s work, that it is so sort of surreal, I guess, that it goes beyond class and era even. It’s something that, yes, he is, as one of the characters said, a well healed addict, but we see him very nearly hitting rock bottom. And as you probably know, and I certainly know as in research wise, you sit around a table or in a group meeting and every walk of life is in that room from the Wall Street banker to the guy on the street corner. You know, addiction takes in all of us.
DEADLINE: Speaking of addiction taking us all in, there are two other roles you’ve played that have elements of that in them in Sherlock Holmes and to a lesser degree, Stephen Strange. So, it is incumbent upon me to ask if you will be returning to those roles, especially after the way the Strange character ends up at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
CUMBERBATCH: (laughs) Oh, Strange? Just try to stop me. That’s all kind of lined up as far as I’m aware, but who knows? I mean, you know, the problem is, how does he get out of where he’s at. But that’s the only thing. I’m bits of dust at the moment as far as I understand. So you really have to ask (Marvel Studios president) Kevin Feige. But as far as wanting to do it, yeah, I would love to go back into that role.
As far as wanting to do Sherlock, I am having a great time at the moment doing other things, but we never say never.
DEADLINE: Putting your money where your mouth is, a matter you did have something to say about recently was pay equity and that its time or time’s up on not having a frank and fair discussion about that. From the remarks you gave to Radio Times magazine and the stance of your SunnyMarch production company, this is a priority for you but how do you think it needs to be addressed?
CUMBERBATCH: It’s important for us to acknowledge the pay gap and to do something about deliberately making a stance to correct that. It will take a great deal of effort, not just from women trying to break through but also men offering parity. I just think people need to know that men are supportive of this. I can only speak for myself, so I’m not speaking for mankind, but just to say that I think it’s incumbent on me and my position to seek and understanding, and what has to start with all this is transparency about such issues. Not in the public domain but between artists and their management and producers and that conversation, I can guarantee, is already starting to happen
DEADLINE: Really?
CUMBERBATCH: Absolutely. Look, it’s just a taboo subject. So, if it’s to change, we all need to sit around a table and act like grownups and go, “This is the pie and this is how the pie came to the table. This is how much of the pie you’re contributing, so there’s how much you should eat and it’s got nothing to do with gender and everything to do with parenting the workplace.”
DEADLINE: Your workplace will see you shifting from addiction as a theme to Brexit, with a script for Channel 4 by James Graham about leading Leave strategist Dominic Cummings. This is more television for you but also a one-off. Is that a matter of preference for the small-screen medium or scheduling?
CUMBERBATCH: Well, a bit of both, I guess. It’s an extraordinary script. They are few and far between, those standalone moments where you know this is a moment. This is a piece that has incredible cultural resonance with what’s going on in our country and the revelations. it was just a brilliant, brilliant read.
DEADLINE: It was the prose not the politics that drew you in?
CUMBERBATCH: I just thought I have to do this. It’s sort of an extraordinarily brilliant eye opener and you know we’ve heard a lot it, a lot of revelations, through the feed of media with drama sometimes have a better ability to crystalize complex and disparate narratives into an hour or two-hour long format, in this case. It can condense those complex arguments into one piece of drama and then people can sit back and investigate the truth behind the drama and make their own decisions. It’s extraordinary to read a script about a story you know the outcome to and be as thrilled and held in suspense and as enthralled as I was when I first read James’ brilliant, brilliant script.
He’s a very interesting character, Dominic Cummings, a brilliant man. Yes, he obviously very much divides people as this argument does. It’s polarized a nation, so it’s an important thing for us to examine, I think, as storytellers. It’s not telling anyone what to think, it’s just going well this is what we know now and this is it in dramatic form about events that happened that weren’t necessarily in the public domain It’s kind of fascinating and it blew my mind when I read it and I can’t wait for people to see it.
DEADLINE: Earlier you called Patrick Melrose a bucket-list project for you, but, with so much shifting in time and space — and that’s not a Doctor Strange reference — why now to take it on?
CUMBERBATCH: You know, these books lay out a very particular set of circumstances and the personal dilemma of them. So, of course, the older you get the wiser you get for whatever reason, but I think for these books, I had to be somewhere in the balance of his age.
The beauty of having that prose as a tool to characterize that dynamic is that they are so rich in their detail and their back story, in the depth of analysis of internal working of this man as well as wider positions and lenses on the human condition, or some certain strata of English society or politics, or general attitudes. Whether they be sexual, or to do with parenting, it’s all there in the material.

Interviews: In-character / Saito Soma / Hatano Wataru / Sato Takuya
[i7] Spoon2Di vol 23 (Feb 2017): Voice of Kujo Tenn / Saito Soma interview
"His pride and self-awareness about being TRIGGER's center, his self-confidence in not neglecting his efforts in order to remain in that position, whether I should let that show or not in his speech, those are things that I keep in mind while acting."
— After having explored Kujo Tenn as a character, what kind of person do you think that he is? Also, please tell us about the scenes  or lines which you found "Tenn-like," or in which you could feel his appeal, among the ones that you have played up until now.
Saito: "Despite being a perfectionist, I think that he's an awkward and delicate person. Because his little brother is so important to him, he treated Riku very harshly throughout the first half of Part 1, but as you move through the story, perhaps his stance has changed from being a clumsy expression of his feelings, to one of respect towards rivals from the same field. I think that until he became able to say the line 'Come at us with resolution. I'll forget that I had a younger brother who couldn't run,' a lot of changes were necessary within Tenn-kun. His poetic, or even dramatic lines, and his tendency to be firm are some of his charms. Also, I think that fundamentally, he's someone who is full of gentleness towards other people.  He isn't good at expressing that in a straightforward manner, but it's cute."
— Please tell us if there were any scenes or lines, up until Part 2, that made you empathize with him.
Saito: "I have a younger sister myself, so I could often empathize with his feelings towards his sibling (even though I haven't lived as complicated a life as Tenn-kun's.) Even though it would be best for him to say words like "I'm worried" in an honest manner, I think that there are a lot of instances where he can't say what he's thinking out loud. It's kind of like, if he's not in a position where he has a 'role,' he has difficulty relating flatly to others. For instance, he's expressing his own emotions while behaving as 'TRIGGER's center' or as an 'older brother.' Hmm, I can't explain it well...... I should refrain from being like this as an actor, but there are a lot of things that I somehow admire about Tenn-kun that I can't put into words."
— Please tell us if there are particular things that you keep in mind, when playing Tenn. Also, please tell us if there are things that you keep in mind when singing as TRIGGER, as well.
Saito: "Of course, as the center of a unit that is part of the main cast, which leads the way in achieving results, I think that how convincing I am when delivering the lines is very important. His pride and self-awareness about being TRIGGER's center, his self-confidence in not neglecting his efforts in order to remain in that position, whether I should let that show or not in his speech, those are things that I keep in mind while acting. In the same way in regards to their songs, there are often discordances between him, Gaku, and Ryunosuke's types of people, but I want to bring out the persuasiveness of TRIGGER, which he forms together with the two people that he trusts the most. By levelling up myself, I think that Tenn-kun will become even more convincing as a character, so I'd like to keep devoting myself in everyday, while we walk side by side"
— Please tell us your impressions of the members of TRIGGER, Yaotome Gaku and Tsunashi Ryunosuke. Also, how do you view the relationships between Tenn and Gaku, and Tenn and Ryunosuke?
Saito: "With Gaku-san, they seem to be constantly pestering each other, which is their usual appearance, and he doesn't express everything that he thinks out loud, but I think that they trust each other a lot. My impression of Gaku-san has changed considerably since the beginning (with the soba delivery man matter, and the like,) but far from being just another pretty boy, rather, he cherishes his greatest passions deep within himself. Perhaps Tenn-kun also thinks so of him......? For Tsunashi-san, he has a gap between his eroero beast persona and his real self, so my impression of him is that he's sexy, despite us being from the same sex. I want to pick on him a bit, and listen to  him talk while we're drinking (laughs). I guess that Tenn-kun has come to accept Tsunashi-san honestly. Somehow, I want to ask him for advice when I'm troubled. He's really someone with a heart as wide and big as the sea."
— Where do  you think that TRIGGER's charm lies, as a unit? Also, please tell us your impressions of IDOLiSH7 and Re:vale.
Saito: They really have the feel of a reigning monarch. The number 3 is one with great balance, and different meanings could be associated with it depending on one's point of view, but I think that the three of them are a unit that met because they were fated to meet. Through the balance of their voices, and the perfection of their visuals, they have unique colours that no one else can achieve. IDOLiSH7 uses the appeal of being a big family of seven people to its maximum, and has the energy to keep dashing towards higher and higher points despite struggling. I find that wonderful. Their will to deliver their songs, despite undergoing a variety of drama and fighting amongst themselves, is cool. As for Re:vale, I like their songs......! When I first listened to 'SILVER SKY,' I became captive to the flickering of emotion and passion in the midst of their coolness. I'd like to hear more and more of their songs, and I'd really like to sing together too"
— Please tell us which song left the strongest impression on you and why, among those which you have sung so far. Also, please tell us if there is a song that you like aside from your own, as well.
Saito: "This is a really tough question, but if I have to choose one, right now...... It'd probably be <Leopard Eyes>. When we were recording Part 2, <Last Dimension> left an impression on me as an intense song, and I still love it now, but I guess that the one that has most allowed me to come closer to Kujo Tenn as a human being would be <Leopard Eyes>...... Of course, it goes without saying that I like every song, and find them all impressive.  A song that I like would be <Fly away!> as usual. But it's still hard for me to pick only one...... I also love <Dis one.> I think that every song becomes even more striking with the lyrics. Everyone is fighting in their own way. They're all cool!"
— Could you convey a message to Tenn, who you have played so far?
Saito: "Tenn-kun, thank you for always working hard. My encounter with you has become a life event deep in meaning. When we first met, I didn't even dream that we would be together for this long, but I'm sure that this is what Tenn-kun was protecting and cultivating. For now on,  so that you can keep diligently exerting yourself to grow, and so that you can keep being TRIGGER's center, I will keep following you step by step. For many years to come, please keep having me in your care!"
— It has been decided that "Idolish7" will be adapted into an anime, and the start of Part 3 is right around the corner. Please convey a message to the fans who are looking forward to future installments.
Saito: "First of all, to all of you who have offered your support to 'Idolish7' up until now, thank you so much! It's thanks to us receiving your strength that we were able to reach Part 3, and to even get an anime adaptation! I still clearly remember how the first time I received the script, it was so interesting that I read it until the end in one sitting. I'm also personally really looking forward to see in which ways this 'Idolish7' will be flapping its wings, when it will be animated! At the time of this interview, I haven't recorded Part 3 yet, but it seems that, once again, there will be a variety of drama which will not be dealt with by ordinary means......! I can't wait to see which songs we will be singing, or which Tenn-kun we will be meeting! From now on, please keep having me in your care for 'Idolish7'! "
