  QUESTION 3

   Who are the best and worst painters?

TSUGUMI: Hands down Hibarin has the most taste here!

AKANE: Come again?

TOKI: From the flyers ever since our indie debut as well as the goods, they’re all from Hibari.

HIBARI: Why, it is just designing, you see: it's not like I'm able to draw. On the other hand Mitsuru and Tsugu-chan are pretty skilled when it comes to small illustrations and logos.

MITSURU: I can’t draw anything too elaborate, but it’s fun so I quite like it.

TSUGUMI: So do Iー!

MASHIRO: For indies to be self-produced, you all are pretty determined.

TOKI: Honestly, he was a huge help.

HAIJI: That sounds so nice. I’d love to see his work.

MASHIRO: Speaking of which, don’t you draw a bit too, Haiji? That mascot thingie.

HAIJI: Ah, indeed. I do get away with it.

AKANE: Back in the days, Kurono used to win some sorta' prize for his landscape paintings, didn’t ya?

HAIJI: Eeh, that’s impressive!

KURONO: I'm pretty sure it was in elementary or middle school. I don't draw at all nowadays.

MASHIRO: I didn’t do too bad in school’s art classes either, though I hardly scribble a thing at all now.

KURONO: Back in RUBIA’s days, we sometimes utilized pictures Akane took.

AKANE: It was a pain in the ass to give explanations for each and every single concept, so...

HAIJI: If I’m not mistaken, you still pitch most of our concepts, right?

AKANE: Yeah, from album concept’s rough drafts to ideas for live set-ups, those kinda stuff. For the record, don’t ask me how to draw, 'cause I defo’ don’t know how to.

MASHIRO: Aw don’t say that. I’m pretty sure you do just fine.

AKANE: Not tryna play humble here.

MASHIRO: That's just me guessing… Kurono, what’s the catch?

KURONO: …Let’s say that Akane-san’s drawings are very… Unique.

MASHIRO: What, wait, why are you looking away?

TSUGUMI: You, of all people, really just suck a drawing!?

AKANE: Go ahead and see for yourself. Not gonna be a painter anyway.

TOKI: Oh. Oh, wow, okay, I see.

MASHIRO: … Hm? What does-...

HIBARI: Excuse me, but please don’t get any closer. For your sake.
