Tsukasa
Yes, I wasn't expecting it to be quite so extravagant! Not only that, the path between here and the station was designed in the same manner...
Rui
I suppose we should expect nothing less from the Morinomiya Revue, since it's been around for over a hundred years.
Nene
Yeah. The all-female Suzurangumi is so popular that even people overseas talk about them...
Nene
But recently, the all-male Kikyogumi has started to gain some traction as well. Getting to train here really is a huge honor...
Tsukasa
Indeed!
We'll need to thank Emu's brothers again later for winning us this opportunity!

Hehe. Very true.
Their grand and refined shows are captivating to not just the viewing public, but also actors all over.

Tsukasa
Precisely! The pinnacle of musical excellence in Japan! Quite a few former Morinomiya members have gone on to become famous actors!
Arita
It's wonderful to finally meet you.
My name is Arita. I'm a member of the production team here at the Morinomiya Revue.

I have to say, this place is astounding...!
The theatre is one thing, but this rehearsal room is enormous!

Rui
I'm also surprised by how much equipment this place has available. I suppose I shouldn't expect anything less from a highly successful enterprise.
Arita
Hehe. Your brothers indicated that to us a little while back, so we went ahead and created a special position for you.
Arita
Anyway, this concludes my tour. From here, I'll be explaining more about how you'll be practicing...
Arita
I regret to inform that you will not be practicing with any members of this revue during your time here.
Arita
We agreed to give you all this opportunity after seeing everything you've all done at Phoenix Wonderland...
Arita
Unfortunately, outside of publicity events, non-affiliated parties are not allowed to observe our rehearsals. This is a mandate from management.
Emu
Hey, I've heard of that school!
It's where everyone studies to become members of the Morinomiya Revue, right?

Rui
That's right.
Several hundred apply to enroll each year, but they're competing for around thirty spots.

Rui
Only those who are accepted can apply to become members of the Morinomiya Revue. In other words, they're the best of the best.
Emu
I'm doing operations, Tsukasa and Rui are with the boys, and Nene's with the girls... Doesn't that mean we're all gonna be separated?
Nene
But getting to train at the Morinomiya Music Academy is a huge opportunity for us. I'm really looking forward to this experience...!
