Thanks for having us!

What were you like back in high school?
[01:04] ser
I was kind of a bad student...
[01:06] Blue
Really?
[01:08] Blue
What do you mean "bad"?
[01:09] pink
During the summer, I'd wear sunglasses.
[01:12] wom
No way, seriously?!
[01:14] wom
In high school?!
[01:15] pink
Yes. And I'd wear really long pants.
[01:17] wom
Under your skirt?
[01:17] pink
Get out my parasol, and then ride my bike.
[01:21] wom
Wow!
[01:21] pink
I was a cringy girl.
[01:24] ser
What about you guys? What were you like?
[01:26] blue
I feel like you probably followed the rules.
[01:28] pink
My school's rules were quite relaxed, though.
[01:31] wom
Oh, really? Cool!
[01:33] pink
Like you could dye your
hair and wear earrings.
[01:35] wom
What?!
[01:36] wom
That really is lax!
[01:37] wom
I'm jealous.
[01:38] pink
Yeah, I dyed my hair.
[01:40] wom
You did?!
[01:41] tan
Everybody around me did too, so...
[01:43] hon
Oh, so you'd stand out if you didn't!
[01:44] wom
I see.
[01:45] wom
I didn't expect that.
[01:46] tan
That's how it was for me.

So then after I had become
a voice actress and met
[01:51] tan
the other girls from

That happened to me, too!
[01:59] tan
Really?!
[02:01] wak
Yeah, I was called a gyaru, too.
[02:03] wom

[02:36] blue
Were any of you already doing this?

Before I joined this school, I had
a chance to use a pottery wheel

Kuroda Ichiha-san
2nd year student
°at the time of filming
[02:53] Green

[02:56] Green
Since I wanted to do that again,
I thought I'd join this club.

2nd year student
°at the time of filming
[03:05] Blue
So was there something
that drew you to this?
[03:08] Blue
That attracted you to this idea?
[03:12] Green
I was thinking that once
I got good, I could make things
[03:15] Green
exactly the way that I wanted to.
[03:17] all
Right, I get that!
[03:19] tan
You're using the hand-building
method. What are you making?

Well, it's a bit crooked
right now, but it's lips.

Lips?!

Really?!
[03:29] yello
It's like, they've evolved
way past mugs and plates!
[03:33] ser
That's amazing!
[03:35] purp
...so whose lips are those?
[03:37] green
They're pretty thin, so they're
a Japanese person's lips.
[03:40] All
A Japanese person's!
[03:41] girl
I have more lips over there.
[03:43] wom
You have more than just those lips!

of the different things
[04:05] wak
you've all made is welling up in me.
[04:06] wom
Me, too!
[04:07] wak
Is there anything we could look at?

as first year students?

That's true skill.
[05:37] wom
So you went there when you
were complete newcomers?
[05:39] wom
Wasn't that basically right
after you started then?

Wait, that's crazy!
[05:43] wom
That's really impressive.
