Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
Another exhausting day...
2

Nene

Listen

(But I do feel less tired than I used to, so I guess I've managed to build up some stamina.)
3

Nene

Listen

(I'm glad that decided to start running every few days.)
4

Nene

Listen

Still, I wasn't expecting to pay homage to the Little Mermaid like this.
5

Nene

Listen

But I'm really looking forward to how our show turns out.
6

Nene

Listen

And we're really ambassadors now…

Keisuke

Listen

Phoenix Ocean Resort has an open-air Beach Stage that already attracts a lot of visitors due to it being a sort of public amphitheater.
8

Keisuke

Listen

We would like you to put on a show that is not only family friendly, like the ones you are already doing, but also appeals to a wider audience.
9

Nene

Listen

I was expecting our first assignment to be a much more modest affair...
10

Nene

Listen

Us being ambassadors sort of means that we're representing all of Phoenix Wonderland's stages and troupes.
11

Nene

Listen

So how the shows we do outside of the park go will directly affect how the shows back home will do.
12

Nene

Listen

(I hope this goes well... It has to...)

13

Emu

Listen

But I just couldn't give up!
14

Emu

Listen

I want Phoenix Wonderland to be a place that makes everyone smile forever and ever!
15

Emu

Listen

I don't care if you replace all the rides and get rid of the stages...
16

Emu

Listen

I just don't want it to stop being a place where everyone can smile, laugh and be happy!
17

Nene

Listen

(We somehow managed to tell Emu's family how we really felt about the future of the park.)
18

Nene

Listen

(And I don't want things to end there.)
19

Nene

Listen

I want more people to visit Phoenix Wonderland, and in order to do that...
20

Nene

Listen

We have to do everything we can as ambassadors to make that happen.
21

Nene

Listen

I'm also the one who suggested that we choose the Little Mermaid, so I should start working out the details.
22

Nene

Listen

Where do I begin…?
23

Nene

Listen

Oh, I know. I can start by rewatching the theatrical version.
24

Nene

Listen

I've already seen it enough times to recite most of the lines from memory, but it still might be able to give me some new ideas.
25

Nene

Listen

Let's see... Aha, there you are!
Pop in the DVD and... Play.

27

Nene

Listen

(Wow, it still holds up!
She really knows how to draw you into the story too.)
28

Nene

Listen

(No, what am I doing...?! I have to come up with some ideas for our show.)

30

Nene

Listen

(Oh, the lighting for this scene's gorgeous. It's like the stage is really just beneath the waves along the shore.)
31

Nene

Listen

(We'll be performing outside, so this might not be possible...)
32

Nene

Listen

(But we could try doing something with the backdrop instead...)
33

Nene

Listen

Phew...
34

Nene

Listen

(I've been watching this since I was little, but I still keep discovering new things about it.)
35

Nene

Listen

(But I'm looking at it from a production standpoint, so I guess that's natural.)
36

Nene

Listen

Anyway, let's see what I've got...
37

Interviewer

<And here we have the star of tonight's show, Yuka Kazamatsuri.>
38

Nene

Listen

Huh?
39

Nene

Listen

(Oh, right. The bonus footage for this DVD includes interviews. I guess they're just set to play automatically.)
40

Nene

Listen

(It's been a while, so I think I'll watch them.)
41

Interviewer

<I understand that this was your first time playing the lead role. Were you nervous at all?>

42

Yuka

Listen

<Of course I was nervous. I'm a no-name actress who somehow landed the lead for this show.>
43

Yuka

Listen

<But as long as this stage stands and I'm allowed to play this role...>
44

Yuka

Listen

<I'll be here to give the best performances that I can.>
45

Nene

Listen

That's so cool...
46

Nene

Listen

Even when she's under all that pressure, she stays in character and never loses focus...
47

Nene

Listen

I need to keep trying my best too!
