Kijima
In order to gain control over your smallest muscles, you have to first start paying close attention to what they're doing...
Kijima
Meditation can help with that.
Close your eyes and focus all your attention on your nervous system.

Kijima
You'll be able to feel what your entire body is doing from your head to your toes...
Kijima
The air as it caresses your skin...
Feel what your muscles underneath are doing, and learn how to control them!

Kijima
Your mind plays an important role, but your muscles are the ones doing all the work. They come first, second, third, fourth... Hundredth and foremost!
Kijima
Now, come with me!
We're going to do ten laps of this park while dragging these tires around!

Kijima
Your mind and muscles need to work together in order to achieve perfect control. Next, we'll do an exercise which covers both!
Kijima
Stretch your arms out and gently squat like you're sitting down... Okay, stop there! Now stay in that position for ten minutes!
Kijima
This exercise isn't just designed to help strengthen your muscles. You have to finely control them in order to maintain the same posture. So, try to hang in there!
Kijima
Think about the role you're playing!
Are you going to break character because of a little pain?

Emu
Yeah, that's perfect!
Now try to stay still while keeping your arms stretched out and bottom down.

Emu
It's to make sure you can keep your posture while performing no matter what your body is doing...!
Nene
Oh, this might sound a little weird, but we also did cat's cradle and even an exercise that involved learning to move our ears...
Tsukasa
Strength training and conditioning are both important, but the primary goal of these exercises is to achieve perfect control of our bodies.
Tsukasa
We've mostly been learning how to control every muscle right down to our fingertips, including ones we don't think about normally.
Len
Really?! That sounds challenging, but also fun...! Can you tell us more about what you guys have been doing later?
MEIKO
And they sound very different from Shunmeiza, so I'm sure you all stand to gain quite a lot from working with them!
Emu
I absolutely want this play to succeed so that we get to be a part of Mikazukigumi's next production!
Emu
Since working with lots and lots of people on lots and lots of different things seems like the best way for us to learn!
Tsukasa
Even when we were working with Shunmeiza, working with proven talent helped us make quite a few new discoveries.
Nene
Yeah, from Seiryuin to Asahi and Bakuno...
Getting to perform alongside such talented people has already helped us learn a lot.

So, in order to make our dreams come true, let's make our play about Ushiwakamaru a good one.
