Chapter 7: We're Heroes! - Episode 3

At the Productions office…

Kaoru: About the show at the shopping district… First and foremost we need to handle the whole production, can we prepare it all?

Tsubasa: Well, how about we watch some actual tokusatsu hero shows for reference? I have a younger brother at home who has some of those videos.

Teru: Okay! Well, I guess we’ll be studying tokusatsu hero shows today.

At the lesson studio…

Teru: The general production of the show’s already planned out. There’s also the action between the songs… Special effects are also important. There’s also the nori and tsukkomi!
[TN: If you're wondering what he's talking about.]

Kaoru: “Tsukkomi”? We’re not comedians.

Teru: We don’t have to be comedians, we just have to give the place a fun atmosphere is all. Alright… Let’s try it, Tsubasa!

Tsubasa: Wha!? Huh!? Me!? O-Okay!

Teru: …Well, as an idol, I always try to dry my laundry first!

Teru: “Aim to be the number one dryers!” after all!
[TN: He made a joke. He says “become the First Stars” which is “ichibanhoshi”, but he says “ichibanhoshi” as “number one dryers”]

Tsubasa: Y-You said “star” differently!

Teru: Owww!? I-I forgot Tsubasa is freakin’ strong~!
[TN: Tsubasa hit him. That’s what you get for making puns.]

Tsubasa: Uwaah! I-I’m so sorry, Teru-san! That’s the first time I tried to be a tsukkomi! I’m not really good at it!

Kaoru: I get it now, you have to hit Tendou nice and hard whenever he makes his stupid puns. So that’s what the tsukkomi does. I definitely got it now.

At a restaurant…

Teru: Sakuraba, do you have the setup plans for the hero show? Lemme see…?

Tsubasa: …“Appear from the lower side when the music starts”… What? Th-This is… Is this really something we should do…?

Teru: I dunno about you but that doesn’t really sound like a hero show… Don’t you wanna make the audience excited? We should have like a smokescreen!

Kaoru: The audience isn’t just children. The kinds of videos we watched would only draw attention to children.

Teru: If a kid will come see it, then so will their parents. We need to draw as much attention as we can with our performance!

Kaoru: Hmm, well, I guess we should use Tendou’s ideas. How about for the action, we do a sword battle?

Tsubasa: A sword battle… So we’ll have the staff members from the shopping district be villains, and then we’ll stage a fight scene… Is that right?

Teru: After we sing, the villains appear, and then we battle with swords… Wouldn’t we be pretty tired after all that action?

Kaoru: If you’re gonna be directing the stage, don’t you think you should try and find a way to fix that then?

Teru: Trying to come up with good ideas to entertain an audience is really hard, just so you know.

Tsubasa: H-Hey now! Let’s try starting over from the beginning and keep this flow going! Hey? Teru-san, Kaoru-san!
