AKI: "I guess it really won't be that easy..."
EMMA: "Yeah, when I heard there would be some kimono-wearing school idols, I thought for sure she'd be here...
But it was fun regardless! I'm glad we went!"
AKI: "Yeah, it's always great watching live shows. One of the idols in particular I could notice. Himeno Ayanokoji, she's the center of Touou Academy's school idol group."
EMMA: "Oh yeah, I know about her! The Touou Academy idols are really talented!"
AKI: "Yeah, but still, no sign of the idol who inspired you."
EMMA: "After watching that amazing live show, my desire to find her has increased ten-fold. Will you be joining me?"
AKI: "You bet! I'll try and find more info about more traditional Japanese-style school idols!"
EMMA: "Thanks! *Sigh* Kimonos really are beautiful, though."
AKI: "They're pretty much the quinetssential Japanese garb, huh? I think traditional Swiss clothing is pretty cute as well."
EMMA: *Giggle* "Aren't they? They're special outfits we wear for special occasions and stuff. The same goes for kimonos in Japan, right? I wish I could wear one."
AKI: "I think you'd look good in a kimono as well, Emma."
EMMA: "Y-You think so? That'd make me so happy. It's a dream of mine, after all..."
AKI: "I think there are supposed to be places in Ginza or Kamakura where you can walk around town wearing a rental kimono. I'll ask Shizuku if there are any places in Kamakura.
There's also beauty salons, or... Oh!"
...
AKI: "Over there! There are lots of photo studios like this one where they'll dress yoy in your kimono if you bring your own. Wait...huh?
Looks like this place even offers rental kimono. Look at the poster."
EMMA: "What? Does that mean I can wear a kimono here?"
AKI: "You won't be able to walk around outside wearing it, but you can probably have your photo taken in one."
EMMA: "What?! I-I wanna do it! Can I?"
AKI: "Of course you can. Let's head inside."
EMMA: "Yay! Thanks!"
...
SHOPKEEPER: "Welcome."
AKI: "Um, I would like to arrange for a photo shoot while wearing a kimono."
SHOPKEEPER: "Of course, I'm sure we can find one your size, young man."
AKI: "Uh, not for me. It's for a friend of mine."
...
AKI: "Emma! She said to go ahead and pick out a kimono you like!"
EMMA: "Really?!"
AKI: "Sure, the selection is right over here."
EMMA: "W-Wow, I can't decide... There are just so many to choose from."
She's not kidding, it's a pretty impressive selection of kimonos.
Personally, I've never been into that stuff. The Suzuki's aren't very traditional.
EMMA: "This is SO much fun! I've always wanted to wear a kimono and now's my chance! I'm so excited."
AKI: "Oh Emma, you're so cute."
EMMA: "Come on now, the kimonos are cuter than me.
What do I do? There are so many of them and they're all so beautiful! I can't choose!"
AKI: "We've got plenty of time, so you don't need to rush yourself."
EMMA: "What style do you think would suit me best?"
AKI: "I think they'd all look good on you, but you should just pick one you'd want to actually wear."
EMMA: "Hmm... Maybe I'll ask the shop assistant for some help."
...
EMMA: "So this kimono is a Taisho...uh... It's one from a different era! That means it's a vintage, right?"
AKI: "I believe so. Wow, this photo studio is pretty impressive to have such old kimonos in their collection."
EMMA: "It's apparently been in business for generations. All of the kimonos here were once worn by the owner's grandmothers or great-grandmothers."
AKI: "Really? That makes sense then."
EMMA: "Oh! This one! I like this one! It's identical to the one worn by a school idol I look up to!"
AKI: "You don't say? It must be fate."
EMMA: "Yeah!"
...
EMMA: *Giggle*
AKI: "You must be happy that you got to wear such a beautiful kimono, Emma."
EMMA: "Yup! I can't wait to show my family this photo!"
AKI: *Chuckle* "I bet they'll be thrilled, too."
EMMA: *Giggle* "Thanks for coming along with me today."
AKI: "Don't mention it! Thank you for showing me how stunning you look in a kimono."
EMMA: "The picture I got taken today is now one of my prized possessions!"
