Track 2
A Public Park
Alright, seems like there’s barely anyone around. We can practice here.
I agree. Then, the first step is—
——Kinari slides back
……Kinari?
——Kinari slides further back
Upon doing the assigned steps, I suddenly am pushed further back——
Wait, stop! Stop moving! Your foot…!
I have now learned that the center of gravity is important to rollerskating.
Yeah. Plus, you have to be aware of your starting position when doing the steps. Let me try doing a spin next.
Then you do a turn like this——WOAAAAAH…?!
——Tao shakes in place
What a wonderful rotation… But this method can only be performed once. Or, 6, 7, 8……
My eyes.. ‘m dizzy…
——Then subsequently falls to the ground
Even if you know what to do next, being able to actually control it is a different story… This sure is hard…
I never knew it would feel so different from skating straightways…
But we have made improvements since beginning our practice. Shall we try singing along as we do it?
Alright… Let’s give this a shot!
*singing*
(We should switch positions here, and—! That was close?!)
*singing*
Sorry, I’m about to crash, so avoid me, Kinari!!
!!
——Both of them crash into one another
It’s going to be real hard to make this a reality on stage, right?
Today was only the first day of practice, so it is to be expected. It is recommended to optimize our movements while rollerskating.
For now, I’d like to take a rest and review KAWORU Taishou’s videos for reference. I have also made a playlist of the relevant clips.
You serious? That’d help a lot!
Dude, this is so nostalgic… The closer I look at it, it’s really as cool as I remember. More than cool, it’s what, hella rad1…? Like that?
How the headband is flowing along the winds is perf2 as well. It is a styling that can only be achieved with rollerskating.
Maybe we should look into the costumes too…
The probability of going viral for doing a homage is about 76.44%. I’ll order a set for consideration.
HAMA House — Bird Room
——Knock, knock
——Door opens and Kinari enters the room
Tao, the KAWORU Taishou homage costumes have arrived. Shall we check it out together?
Oh …! I’ve been sorta looking forward to it coming in.
Huh, wait… What’s with these insanely short shorts3…?!
(And we’re supposed to tie a headband around our heads, then rollerskate with these on…?)
(No way, absolutely no way! The actual thing compared to the impression I had before is just completely different! It’s impossible, there’s no way I’m doing this…!!)
It will be a large shift from what we usually do, but I think it should alleviate the monotony in our performances.
…No, isn’t this too big of a shift?!
But, the acceptance rating’s probability is around eighty—
Let’s just leave all this rollerskating stuff and these sorts of costumes to legendary idols instead…!
We’re aiming to get to their status someday, so let’s just do our best in our own ways for now! Something like that… Got it?!
イカす lit. meaning - “cool”, a slang popularized from the 60’s. Seems to be rather outdated these days, though.
決まっている lit. meaning - “it’s decided”, but can be used as a way to compliment something in a slang context.
Likely referencing this specific outfit
