ALIEN STAGE Audition Behind the Scenes-

Interview Location: Alien Stage, Preliminary Round Site

<MY CLEMATIS>, was the performance that determined life and death by a single point. The stars of this Round 1 performance, MIZI and SUA, continue to soar in popularity, giving quite a phenomenal start to ALIEN STAGE. And with all eyes and attention on MIZI and SUA, the two participants’ past has become a hot topic amongst fans as well. <ALIEN STAGE MAGAZINE> brings you, for the first time ever, a never-before-seen interview of MIZI and SUA.

1. What made you take part in ALIEN STAGE?

SUA: During my time at Anakt Garden, I learned that it is a great honor to be able to take part in ALIEN STAGE. I’d like to show my music to the world through ALIEN STAGE.

MIZI: Um… well… ever since I was little, it’s been my dream… to perform on stage with SUA! So… I’m gonna do my best!

2. The two of you seem very close. Can you please tell us about a memory you share from your time at Anakt Garden?

SUA: We used to look up at the night sky together when the ceilings opened up at Anakt Garden. I remember when we were young, every time we saw a spaceship in the sky, MIZI would always try to convince me that it was Earth. (laugh)

MIZI: Oh, right! Hehe. I didn’t have the right prescription in my glasses, so the lights in the sky were always a bit blurry. And that’s why any time I saw a spaceship, I thought it was Earth. I’ve never seen Earth before, but I was told that it was a planet that gave off a brilliant glow, you see.

3. That’s adorable!

SUA: At Anakt Garden, we had mandatory play time for our psychological well-being. Looking back, I think I spent most of my time with MIZI, and I remember all the days we spent singing together.

MIZI: I always had the most fun when I played with SUA too! Though… unlike SUA, I hated studying, so I had to take a lot of extra classes… But SUA always waited for me without a word of complaint.

4. Then the two of you must have always practiced together.

MIZI: It was hard for me to make friends when I first started at Anakt Garden. So one day after class ended, I was just sitting there, staring out into space during our mandatory play time… when I suddenly heard SUA singing. It was such a long time ago, but I still remember it so vividly. I was so lonely back then, but SUA’s singing always made me feel better! I was too shy to go up to her, so I hid and secretly listened to her sing for a whole month. Then one time, I started singing along to SUA’s song without realizing it, and she ended up hearing me. That’s how we got close, and ever since then, we spent all our days singing and practicing together. And now, we’re the best of friends ever! Right, SUA?! (laugh)

SUA: Yes, that’s right. I really want to go on stage and perform with MIZI. My dream is MIZI’s dream as well.

5. If you get through the preliminary round of ALIEN STAGE, what kind of performance would you like to put on?

SUA: Well, I’m still only in the audition round, so none of it has really hit me yet. I’m not sure…

MIZI: I want to wear a really cute outfit on stage! All the past participants I’ve seen on AS always looked so amazing. My parents said they’d make me a beautiful dress. I’ll dye my hair, too! Oh, and… I’ll go and brag to my Anakt Garden teachers, and my parents… and… Oh! Wait! I have to practice our performance with SUA too! Aaahhh! I wish this would be over already!

6. Do you think you have what it takes to be the winner of ALIEN STAGE?

MIZI: To be honest… I don’t think so. I have to get past the preliminaries first… Oh gosh, I’m so nervous all of a sudden… What am I gonna do?!

SUA: My parents and my teachers all said that it is an honor to be able to participate in ALIEN STAGE. They told me that the Great Anakt is always listening to our music… I’ve been waiting for the day that I go up on that stage, so now all that’s left is to show everyone what I’ve got.

MIZI: It’ll feel amazing to win, wouldn’t it? But, it’s all too hard to grasp at the moment. And even if I lose, I get to go back to the Great Anakt… Still, I want to sing and perform with SUA for as long as possible, so I want to win with her, together! I heard that there’s never been a tie in all of ALIEN STAGE’s history… But if we get that tie, then I bet everyone will call us the most fantastic duo to exist in history, right?! Heheh… You better watch out for us!
