Rui
I would like Wonderlands×Showtime to become a freelance troupe that operates independent of the park.
Rui
First, as I'm sure you're both keenly aware, Tsukasa and Nene are absolutely aching to keep growing as actors.
Rui
And in order to do that, they feel that they'll need to go out into the world and experience many new things.
Rui
I believe they should be allowed to spread their wings, work with other actors, troupes, groups and companies...
Rui
Which is why I'd like the opportunity to separate ourselves from the park and become a freelance troupe.
Rui
I also understand that us leaving so suddenly would cause quite a few problems for Phoenix Wonderland.
Rui
We've been fortunate enough to gain a sizable fan base through the night shows and our ambassadorial performances.
Keisuke
The numbers for anything show-related have only been going up. And your troupe's role in that has not been small.
Rui
As a freelance troupe, we could agree to a deal that allows us to keep performing shows on a semi-regular basis at the Wonder Stage.
Keisuke
That would certainly help us quite a lot, since we wouldn't have to immediately part ways with Wonderlands×Showtime.
Keisuke
First, once you leave the park, you'll be putting on fewer shows there. That puts us in a tough position.
Keisuke
And there are other issues to consider.
We'd be giving you special treatment, which the other cast members may not like.

Keisuke
Worst case scenario, others will see what you're doing as a sign to also go independent. Operating the park would become incredibly difficult.
Keisuke
With those considerations in mind, we can't give just your troupe special treatment...
Rui
I'm here not only to ask you both about us becoming freelancers, but also to discuss this matter.

Keisuke
However, we're also not in a position to force you to stay on your current contracts.
Keisuke
We'll consider your proposal...
Let us hope that it works out for both parties in the end.
