[ MEMORY MINGLE who is up bright and early and trying to broadcast their memories first thing before too many people are awake to watch? Seems like a good plan! ]

I have far less claim to those who are not.

And how important are unit boundaries to you? As important as they were in your previous idol life?

The way the unit are set up here is not comparable. Rather than being self-produced with our images and line-ups at the control of the unit leader, our mysterious production company has handled and decided all of it. I would be eager to discard it, but with the way units must work together during games means I cannot ignore it entirely.

Both of which are fair points.

Unitmates aside, do you find that Taisho appeals to the same aesthetic you had before?

Non. ☆ZRAEL is the unit that matches what I recall of my tastes and designs. Taisho is not offensive, but if I were given my say it is not what I would take to the stage to make my impact on the world.

And how good are your relations with ☆ZRAEL?

I scarcely know them, though I have been to their dorm once and I find Aradia agreeable. I advised the young man with sharp teeth to not keep corpses in his closet, lest the stench sink into his clothes. Honestly, I do not think they know what they have been gifted with.

They installed the moon in their ceiling. I think they understand their own aesthetic quite well.

And if that's the aesthetic that is most true to you, why not forgo your current one for it?

Our aesthetic is hardly our primary messaging, here. The impact we make upon the audience is not one of a show of our own choosing, but how we choose within the constraints given to us. If I were to swap units the only choice I would be making would be to straight-jacket myself into another set of confines, neither expressing nor creating anything worth giving the world.

So how are you going to bypass the confines? You're a true artist, correct. So you'll continue your art despite --- or should I say in spite --- of this situation.

I have been integrating my own aesthetic into the outfits I've received, but the games appear to be what the audience has the most interest in. The matter of how to make a statement in them is one I'm considering— the difficulty in predicting them adds factors I do not care for. I despise a stage I do not control.

[You and me both, bro. You and me both]

I look forward to your actual debut then. I'm sure it will be nothing but the highest form of art.

[And while that comment doesn't sound exactly sincere, well--- at least he sounds intrigued]

Hah! Spare me your empty flattery. When I debut, my skill will be shown or it will flounder and I should receive only scorn for my poor showing!

[ He shouldn't sound so egotistical about that, but he sounds very confident that if he fails he should be reviled so don't bother complimenting him now. He has yet to prove himself here! ]

[God Kuzuebiko you are like always on point. Painfully and completely on point at all times]

The flattery is not empty, I assure you. Either outcome will be a show stopper.

And I don't even know which outcome to bet on.

Hmph. Then I will graciously take your confidences in the spirit they were meant, until the time comes to unveil the answer!

And you, what of your work?
