Phew, I’m wore out…
Finally made it. Sorry fer makin’ ya wait, Anzu-han, hope ya can forgive me?
I set out with plenty o’ time, but dang if I didn’t go an’ lose my way
Ain’t my first time comin’ to the Producer Room, yet it’s a funny thing. Guess I just assumed I’d get here no problem, an’ wound up headin’ clean the wrong way
When I realized it, I was standin’ smack dab in the opposite direction. Let out a weird yelp without meanin’ to
I figured, I managed fine in the city, I’ll be just fine here too… turns out that baseless confidence was just plain ol’ arrogance
…Come to think of it, when we first met, Anzu-han, it was kinda the same
I was lost at the station an’ you came up talkin’ to me. Ya remember?
I remember it clear. Back then I didn’t have the faintest clue where ES was, just stood there frozen
When it showed up after just walkin’ a bit, I was real shocked. Couldn’t believe I missed a buildin’ that huge. Felt pitiful
But well, it ain’t a bad memory. Since we was headin’ the same way, ya walked with me, even patched up my blisters
The city’s all glittery but cold somehow. Still, there’s good folks ‘round, that made me happy
…Even today, if I’d called ya, ya would’ve come pick me up? Anzu-han, you really are kind
But I ain’t no kid no more, ya know. Compared to back then, I can get anywhere on my own feet
I’m used to my shoes now, no more sore feet from walkin’ ‘round. Bein’ clueless ‘bout left or right, that’s all in the past
…Well, gettin’ lost in the first place still ain’t exactly cool
At least ya didn’t see me openin’ the map app and wanderin’ in circles
Anyhow, just makin’ it here on my own feels good. Ain’t much, but there’s a sense of achievement
And if next time I come without messin’ up, then this weren’t a failure. It’s experience
This time I can brush it off as a “personal errand”, but if it was work, I couldn’t be so easygoin’
I’ll make today’s wrong turn count next time. Don’t worry ‘bout me
So then, let’s get to the point, what’s this errand ‘bout?
…Hmm, hmm. Heard rumors ‘bout that. Somethin’ that just started, right?
As part of Mega Stream, idols doin’ solo live streams…
Oh, makin’ a costume just for that stream, huh
So that means it’s a pretty serious project. Well, if all idols are included, I s’pose it’s natural
So? What ya want bringin’ that up with me?
…Ya wanna hear my opinion? Someone new like me don’t know half as much as you, Anzu-han. Ain’t even worth askin’, is it?
Ehh… next is my turn…?
Whe-what’s that ‘bout! This ain’t no “personal errand,” it’s proper work!
I thought it’d be more like small talk, at most just casual chat, so I came here relaxed…
True enough, like ya said, reckon a solo job could count as a “personal errand”...
Nah nah, normally it doesn't! But knowin’ you, Anzu-han, ya just said that so I wouldn’t get all tense
I get it now. Ya wanna put my tastes and image into the costume, heh
“The me I wanna show right now,”. Hmm…
…Nothin’ comes to mind right off
If it’s clothes I wanna wear… I could pick casual wear easy enough
But it ain’t like I feel strongly, “I wanna wear this,” I just grab whatever on a whim
And idol costumes are another thingy. Somethin’ that important, I get nervous thinkin’ if it’s really okay for me to decide
I do kinda think it’d be good if it’s a costume fans love, one they’ll remember forever
But what you’re wantin’, Anzu-han, ain’t that sorta “right answer,” it’s my own feelings, ain’t it?
If ya ask how I wanna show myself now, honestly I got no idea
But still… since ya called me out like this, feels wasteful to say nothin’
Like ya said, I could leave it up to ya, Anzu-han, but if I do nothin’, it’s the same as back then
Same as that time I was just standin’ there, surrounded by huge buildings
…I been lost plenty since becomin’ an idol, but I still remember every path I walked on my own feet
That’s why this time too… even if I wander ‘round, I’ll find the answer myself
Mega Sphere’s so wide it still feels like I done come to some foreign country
Might sound dramatic talkin’ ‘bout how I’ll live here
But maybe it’ll be a good chance to think on how I’ll spend my days in this new place
