In commemoration of the "Assault Lily Lost Memories" Stage starting on January 20th (Thu), we had an interview with Hikaru Akao (as Riri Hitotusyanagi) and Yuko Natsuyoshi (Yuyu Shirai) from Hitotsuyanagi-tai!

★Hikaru Akao (as Riri Hitotsuyanagi)

―Congratulations! How do you feel about this first big stage of the new year for Assault Lily?

I'm really happy to be able to present the stage of Hitotusyanagi-tai to you at the beginning of 2022.
With the culmination of the Assault Lily stage, I hope you'll be able to watch where Riri goes with her friends in the Hitotusyanagi Corps, connected by her hard work, and her favorite sister!


―Please tell us about the highlights of this show and if there is anything you'd like us to focus on!

Perhaps you'll be filled with admiration for Riri's resilience in the face of sad circumstances!
The Hitotusyanagi group has developed a deep trust with the other school members after the last time, so I hope we can all work together!
Don't miss out on the twists and turns of love that only Assault Lily can provide!


―There will be a lot of people performing this time. Please tell us about any episodes from your rehearsals, or any new discoveries you've made.

Hitotusyanagi-tai has started practicing their new song, " Neunt Praeludium"!
This time, Tsuwan-sensei, who is in charge of choreography for our live performances, choreographed and instructed us on this song, and we had a delicious curry at her favorite restaurant afterwards!
I have performed many songs with my friends in many different places, and I have many memories of each song.
I hope to make many new memories again and make this my favorite song with you all.


―Lastly, please give a word to BMPASS members reading this interview!

I hope we can share the heat of a live performance.
Assault Lily is overflowing with wonderful music even on stage, so whether you like stage or music, please enjoy it!!
Hitotusyanagi-tai, sortie!!!


―Thank you for your time!



★Yuko Natsuyoshi (as Yuyu Shirai)

―Congratulations! How do you feel about this first big stage of the new year for Assault Lily?

Thank you so much!
Now that I'm running through the New Year's holidays with Stage Assault Lily, I'm so happy to have so much inspiration!
I realized once again how fun and gratifying it is to work with a single piece of work for more than a month.


―Please tell us about the highlights of this show and if there is anything you'd like us to focus on!

A new CHARM has joined the group!
Everyone's sword fighting is very cool, but it's enhanced by the CHARMs, and I've had goose bumps from the rehearsal stage.
I'll do my best to get even closer to my ever-present buddy, Brionac! LOL!


―There will be a lot of people performing this time. Please tell us about any episodes from your rehearsals, or any new discoveries you've made.

This time, I have a lot of opportunities to practice with the under-cast members, and everyone who has participated since the last production, as well as those who are new to this production, are very friendly and we get along very well!


―Lastly, please give a word to BMPASS members reading this interview!

The season is winter...the same as the first stage production, which is a strange coincidence, I personally feel deeply.
It will be a cold day, but please take care of yourself, and if you can, I hope to see you at the Sunshine Theater in good health.
Please come and visit us!


―Thank you for your time!
