Pastel*Palettes Band Drama Episode 06: Let's become a New Pasupare!
~ Let’s become a New Pasupare! ~
(After being asked to stop all activities, the members are all at a loss. At that moment, Aya came up with her very own solution.)
The next day
Entertainment agency, meeting room
Hina: Morning!
Aya + Eve + Maya: Good morning.
Hina: Hm… Such a dark atmosphere…?
Chisato: It can’t be helped with what happened yesterday, Everyone must be very worried.
Staff: Good morning! Is everyone here already?
Chisato: Yes.
Staff: Then firstly, thank you for your hard work yesterday. And I apologize for making all of you feel
uneasy and worried about our future plans.
Staff: I’m sure Chisato-san explained the cause to all of you yesterday. I’ll leave the explanation of the
exact problem to the experts later.
Chisato: And about the schedule, we were supposed to have 3 interviews and a radio recording today.
Would we still be proceeding as planned?
Staff: The plans have all been… cancelled.
Pastel*Palettes: Eh?!
Chisato: Are the only ones that are cancelled… today’s?
Staff: No… All our future plans and collaborations have been cancelled…
Staff: After our discussion yesterday, we have decided to redraw all your media appearances for now.
Aya: Is that.. are we disbanding? Is there still a possibility that we will step onto stage again? Or…?
Staff: We have not decided anything for our future plans yet. For now, we would like all of you to
attend lessons for the instruments.
Staff: To prevent such problems in the future, we would like to ensure that you all would at least be able
to perform the songs on your own.
Eve: But if we have nothing scheduled… I don’t understand why there is a need for lessons…
Eve: And you mentioned previously that we don’t have to play any instruments or practice, but now
you’re contradicting yourself by telling us to practice?
Aya: Eve-chan, please calm down!
Maya: If we take lessons and become good at it, there is a chance that we’ll be able to perform again. So we should all work hard together on this!
Eve: ……………
Staff: We’ll contact you again about the schedule for the lessons. And now-
Eve: There are too many things happening at once… it’s making me very uneasy. Are we really going to be fine?
Chisato: I understand how you feel with so many things happening at once. But we need to calm down
and listen to what the staff planned out for us.
Eve: If you say so…
Aya: T-This is-!
Maya: What’s up?
Aya: This article…
Hina: Hm? “Pasupare’s failure! Their lip-sync was exposed on their debut performance.”?
Article comment: “Doesn’t the vocalist, Aya, have experience as an idol?” “But even if you say
‘experience’, she was only a trainee. That doesn’t count for much.”
Article comment: “And she was finally able to have a debut. What will happen to her…”
Article comment: “The bassist is Shirasagi Chisato, right? As expected of an actress, being able to pull
off that fake performance as if it’s real lol” “At least she lives up to her name.”
Aya: ………..
Chisato: ………
Hina: Ah… that’s so mean of them…
Aya: A-Ahahaha… Mean…? But it’s true that I have no actual experience and I wasn’t singing
yesterday either…
Eve: Even if that was true, putting it this way is… Saying things that will specifically hurt people… I
don’t think that’s okay!
Chisato: That might be true, but the media doesn’t care about that.
Hina: From now on, such articles may appear no matter what we do. Perhaps that’s why the staff said
to stop all our upcoming activities.
Aya: I’ve been told such things since I was a trainee so this much doesn’t faze me… much!
Eve: You can’t be fine! I can’t stand to be called out like this!
Eve: Aya-san, Hina-san, Maya-san, Chisato-san! Let’s practice a whole lot and definitely, definitely stand
on that stage once more!
Hina: Oh? That’s wonderful! I’ll love to perform on that huge stage again~!
Maya: I refuse to give up too! I’ve already made up my mind to support Pastel*Palettes as the drummer!
Aya: Everyone…
Aya: Alright! Let’s all work hard together and become a new Pastel*Palettes!
Eve: Yes!
Aya: (Yes. I don’t have time to mope and do nothing. I have to work even harder from now on!)
Hina: A new Pasupare? Well, I just want to perform on a huge stage again~
Chisato: While it may be true that if you just want to perform on a large stage, you don’t have to
remain with Pasupare but…
Hina: Ahaha! Don’t think about it so deeply! I don’t mind staying on at all!
Chisato: Really? Then let’s work hard together from now on too, Hina-chan.
T/N: Such a bleak and sad chapter... This really makes me worried for them although I know that they have made up their mind and will work towards practicing and eventually become skilled and popular idols... but still Aya... T^T
