there's not a lot we know about producer dango (you are a producer if i remember right???) can we hear more about your experience in yumenosaki?

hello anon! i am a producer, yes! Yumenosaki for me is comfortable, I'd say? It wasn't hard for me to make it in, since the requirements were a bit low during my first year. It seemed there was a shortage of good idols and producers, so they were taking in everyone who even barely qualified.

It was... difficult to stay afloat though, even if I was one of the passionate few in my group.

My first year was easy. Lots of formative classes, simple jobs and such. I wasn't much of a standout person, but for some reason... my "neverending spirit" and passion stuck out to the Rising Leader of Chuku Chikyu, Morisawa-buchou. It was at that point he took me into his wing, and when he became Student Council President, allowed me to advance from the basic Yumenosaki Curriculum and work directly at Ensemble Square.

Right now I'm in my second year, I've pretty much started all my formal work at ES around this time! It's...draining, yes. However I think the opportunity to even stand here is worth working for!

[askensemblesquare]

rei! is it hard having left the idol scene for producer work, or do you like producing more?

I guess I... Kinda miss it.

Well, some parts of it at least. Some I honest to god never want to happen again.

But- It's less problem on my part, so I'm fine staying like this.

... Sometimes I feel like I'm getting left behind. Everyone else I know is still an idol so I guess I get curious sometimes.

"What would happen if I was still there with them..."

I'll never know though, which I guess is my fault. All I really could do right now is mope and feel sorry about all my life choices or just- Try and bear with it, smile.

And, you know. Wish me the best as they go fulfill their sparkly dreams without me.

All as I sit here, wondering if the stage lights will burn me again when I finally snap from jealousy or something-

Sorry for the ramble there, I don't know what happened. It's been a long day you know? I didn't really answer your question but I'll try and answer properly when I've gathered my thoughts.

[askensemblesquare]

May I ask... What's chiaki's unit all about? What are the members' dynamics?

Ah... The reigning overlord of Yumenosaki, the Hero that stopped it from falling into ruin. I'm not one to talk as an outsider but I hope they're doing well at least- Chiaki has a bad habit of stressing out cute and pure things... It makes me nervous seeing them because of that, honestly. Like, it feels like a family but one that's barely being held together, or has some nasty secret kept locked in it. But the unit is functional and runs smoothly, so regardless of my opinion they're here to stay.

Id like to ask about cloverleap! What's their concept like, how are they doing, how'd they form? Stuff like that (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

ah, cloverleap? as some diehard fans would put it, they're "the lucky bunnies of yumenosaki, spreading joy like a lucky charm!" the description's a bit over the top for my tastes, but that's them summed up perfectly. they perform at a lot of children's programs, since their friendly and carefree performances don't scare the kids away.

to my knowledge, those two are a unit that formed on their own. the thing is though, takamine was offered a spot in the now-dissolved unit Ryuseitai. anyone out there old enough to remember their glory days? ahaha, guess that says somethin' about me, doesn't it? kinda fortunate the guy didn't go though, I heard that unit got really rough during their last few years... somethin' about trying to keep themselves alive even at their dying breaths.

Kanata, what are your thoughts on chiaki? Are you two friends, or is it complicated?

It's complicated. It 'feels' strange, it isn't painful, it isn't 'lonely'. While I do feel a 'little' bitter what will that do? I am not a 'god', so even if I wish ill will 'nothing' will happen.

The first person to 'recognize' me as 'human' manipulated me to prove it. But, I'm still 'thankful' I managed to turn into a human

[askensemblesquare]

Could i ask about morisawa? the unit he's in seems interesting too

depending on who you ask, morisawa-buchou is a very different person! to me he's the person who gave me the opportunity to work as a producer in Ensemble Square so early on. He's also the head of the student council! He can be kinda scary sometimes... but I'm told what he does is out of hard work and in the best interest of the school!

As for his unit... Chūkū chikyu was once called something else, but I wasn't enrolled in the school or invested at idols at the time to know anything about the unit that came before this.

I heard they had a massive falling out? However, I think Shinkai-senpai is one of the few from that former unit that still seems to stick around as his friend despite all of that... It's a little confusing to me to be honest

[askensemblesquare]

I almost saw Sakuma-Senpai fanting in the middle of the hallway earlier today... I guess the energy boosters aren't working out anymore. I wonder, how long until he crushes under his own weight?

Hi Ritsu! How’s your relationship with Rei? It sounds like things have been kinda rocky but it also seems like he cares for you a lot so what’s your opinion on him?

Him-? I... Well, it's complicated. I ran away partially because of him afterall. I feel bad about it now that I look back on it, just a bit... But there isn't anything you can do, is there? I can't ask time to go back, I can't erase memories either. If there's one thing I want to say, I'm still worried about him until right now. It's bad, I know, I should probably say this directly.

But I can't, I don't know how to say it and I'm too afraid to rock the boat... So it's scary, what's worse? Doing the right thing but doing it the wrong way, or never trying at all?

Ugh, thinking too much makes my head spin, and I'm tired, but yeah, that's it.

[askensemblesquare]

can i ask about yule.tied ?? they seem super interesting!! like, are they just christmas themed? how'd they form?

Well you see, it all started when I picked up Hiiro from the side of the street~ Okay, just kidding on that part, partially at least. So picture me, enrolled into Yumenosaki, a first year with no unit he was in. And they were all full too-! So I didn't have a choice but to make my own. Eichi-sama was so kind, she even gave me a free unitmate that she tossed away~ After that, me and that glasses guy were in a two-person unit, and we saw this scraggy looking kid on his own one day. He ran away from home according to him, I have a feeling I know why but I won't say for his sake over here... So yeah, that's how the yule.tied formed! And to answer your first question, we're just winter themed in general ^-^

[askensemblesquare]

I have an ask for mod bunny! If it's not a touchy subject, what made you leave idol work and become a producer?

It's... Kind of complicated. Before you see I had the drive to do that out of obligation. You know, I didn't really have an excuse to be anything but some shiny idol for people... So even when my energy was at an all-time low I had to keep pushing. But then, get this, I managed to find an excuse in the worst possible way.

Starting this off by saying not being an idol has its perks, if I still had that prestige this would count as waaaay too personal. (Though Yumenosaki idols did make that a selling point, so you could also just call me old-fashioned)

But well, when I was abroad I got the news that Ritsu ran away from home, then this and that happened to a Yumenosaki sister school I couldn't get in time because I was back in Japan searching for him. Then I kept getting all these people so so disappointed and mad at me because I wasn't able to be there for them. Then I heard back in Yumenosaki people were getting executed and I... I wasn't there. I'm not sure if this is just some way my mind protected me or not but somewhere along the road I stopped caring. Or, tricked myself into believing I didn't back then.

I genuinely don't care now though lol, so don't expect anything from me anymore, or I might just sell you out.

[askensemblesquare]

id like to ask! what do the mods think about each other?

OH !! WELL, with Dango-kun (Mod 🍡) I like him ^^ He's such a nice boy! We have tea and hang out all the time when we have the chance! Even after school, (which is because our main producer is him but you know!) He's been improving day by day, so I'm really proud of him! And then there's Sakuma-senpai I guess....

the hell is that supposed to mean ??? I guess Eichi’s alright...

our dearest producer-san on the other hand, a very big worrywart that one! though you can’t discredit how hard the guy works for ES, it’s insane. got massive respect for them.

Oh gosh they’re fighting,,, I like both Tenshouin-san and Ssakuma-senpai! They’ve both tried to make my work here at ES a lot lighter since I’m still very inexperienced. Without both of them I’d probably be knee deep in papers ^^;
