Q1. What kind of year was last year for you? Any memorable events?
Mashiro: Definitely that—our legendary heavy rain live.
Akane: Yeah, I guess that’s it.
Kurono: I was also really happy every time our singles made it onto the charts.
Mashiro: Chained to You stayed on for five weeks, right?
Haiji: That’s right. Oh, and I moved too…
Mashiro: Ah—…right, you did.
Akane: I’m glad you seem to be settled in now.
Haiji: Sorry for worrying you back then!
Q2. Tell us something about how everyone’s doing recently!
Akane: …What kind of answer would be the right one here?
Haiji: Umm, maybe… "Everyone’s doing well"?
Mashiro: We all get along~♪
Kurono: Akane-san wakes up early and sticks to a regular routine every day!
Akane: Wait a second, is this your observation journal or something?
Q3. What would you like to do if you had a full day off?
Mashiro: By the time I realize it’s a day off, the sun’s already going down… even though I haven’t done anything.
Haiji: Ah, I get that. Even when I think I want to do something special, I end up spending the day cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry.
Kurono: Same here—housework. If I could, I’d want to make a dish that takes a lot of effort.
Mashiro: Look at these two housewives. What about you, Akane?
Akane: Even on a rare day off, it’s not much different from usual. I wake up, eat, play instrument or write songs… maybe eat Kurono’s cooking?
Kurono: I’ll give it my all!
Mashiro: It’s your day off, take it easy for once.
Q4. What do you all want to eat this winter?
Haiji: In winter… maybe hotpot? I think it’d be fun to eat together.
Mashiro: Crab!
Akane: Somehow I suddenly got hungry… Alright, Kurono. Let’s have crab hotpot today.
Kurono: Understood.
Q5. What kind of Valentine’s gift would make you happy?
Akane: Chocolate.
Mashiro: Whoa, straight to the point.
Akane: It’s Valentine’s, isn’t it?
Mashiro: I’d go with alcohol~. "Sweet stuff? Your smile is all I need"—or something like that.
Kurono: You always say stuff like that so casually…
Mashiro: What about you, Kurono?
Kurono: As long as it comes from the heart, I’d be happy with anything.
Haiji: Same here… Oh, but maybe if someone just casually handed me a cup of hot chocolate in the cold, I’d feel a little fluttery.
Akane: Oh, that’s actually nice.
Kurono: Akane-san likes it with a bit of liqueur and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder.
Mashiro: Look at the king liking sweet stuff. Noted.
Q6. What are everyone's blood types?
Mashiro: I’m B.
Akane: O.
Kurono: I’m A.
Haiji: I’m AB!
Mashiro: Wow, all different across the board.
Haiji: By the way, Iwahara-san is also A!
Q7. If you could take only one person to a deserted island, who would it be?
Akane: Kurono or Haiji.
Mashiro: Wow, I got cut out just like that.
Kurono: Obviously. You’d be no help at all.
Akane: Besides, Mashiro, you panic way too easily when something unexpected happens.
Mashiro: Yeah yeah, I’ve got a weak heart, I get it. Then I’d choose Akane~. I feel like whatever happens, we’d survive by luck.
Haiji: Ah, I kind of get that. I think I’d pick Akane-san too.
Akane: So Kurono, how about you?
Kurono: ……
Mashiro: What are you hesitating for? You’d pick Akane anyway, right?
Kurono: I don’t want to put Akane-san in danger… I’m enough to get stranded on a deserted island.
Akane: That’s not what the question was asking.
Q8. What was the funniest moment this year?
Akane: The temple. (laughs)
Mashiro: Wait, stop!
Akane: I only said “the temple”… (laughs)
Mashiro: You’re laughing too hard!
Kurono: That countryside trip was pretty wild too.
Mashiro: Kurono!
Haiji: Umm…
Mashiro: Sorry, please cut this part!
Q9. Lastly, a message for the fans!
Mashiro: To all of you Colors, I love you. Please keep supporting us!
Kurono: I want to keep supporting Rubirei’s music with all my heart.
Haiji: I’ll keep giving my all, even more than ever, so I can give back to all of you!
