Rimi
School information sessions are those events where middle school students come to see the school, right?

Arisa
Yeah. The school officials want as many people as they can get to come, so they're putting a lot of effort into it.

Kasumi
That's because when I dropped by Aa-chan's culture festival, I got a notice for the information session!

Kasumi
All of the older students looked so shiny. What's it called when you've got a sparkle coming from your body...?

Rimi
That's because we just moved up a grade from the middle school, so we didn't have information sessions.

Arisa
Umm, first, we have students look at pamphlets in the gymnasium as they listen to a simple explanation of the school. After that, I think they can take a look around the campus.

Arisa
Wait, the pamphlets you're talking about are these ones, right? I just so happened to bring some home with me today...

Arisa
This one is from last year and this one is from two years ago. And I think these are the ones from before that.

Arisa
No big reason. The pamphlet was made the same way each time, but this year we decided to completely remake it.

Arisa
They probably couldn't find any members. Actually doing magic tricks seems like it would be pretty hard.

Rimi
It looks like it. Ah, the shelves in the library are arranged differently from what's shown in this picture.

Arisa
Are you kidding? There's no way they'd introduce the rabbit hutch! Besides, that belongs to the middle school.

Tae
That doesn't make sense! It might belong to the middle school, but I visit a lot. If it were me, I would definitely list the rabbit hutch!

Saaya
In that case, why not have Arisa put it in? You said you're in charge of that section, right, Arisa?

Arisa
It's obvious! I figured this would happen, so I already asked Rinko-senpai. She said it's okay for you to help out.
All
Yeah!

Arisa
Are you kidding? You have to write a ton and prepare a lot of photos too, so I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a lot of work.

Saaya
Still, the pamphlets are going to be passed out to middle school students, so it's a pretty hefty responsibility.

Rimi
That's right. We have to make it so that when they look at the pamphlet, they will want to enroll at Hanasakigawa.

Arisa
I've been told that the school wants the introduction pages for the clubs and facilities to be made from the students' point of view as much as possible.

Saaya
From the students' point of view... That might be more difficult than we expect. To begin with, none of us are in any clubs...

Tae
If I remember correctly, at the very start of her first year, Kasumi temporarily enrolled in a bunch of clubs. Maybe we could write something using her memories from back then.

Arisa
Umm, up until now... they've looked like this. It looks like they sent out surveys for each club and then compiled them.

Rimi
Yeah, I agree! After all, we said we wanted to do something different from the previous versions, so there's no point unless we use our own original idea.

Kasumi
Our own original idea, huh? Something original, original... Hm~... Arisa, have you thought of anything?

Tae
Remember when CiRCLE redesigned their website and we were interviewed by Marina-san? We could do something like that.

Rimi
That would certainly be from the students' point of view, and I think we would be able to write in more detail than in a survey.

Saaya
Right. And, more importantly, that interview from CiRCLE was really amazing to read. I think something similar would get middle school students interested too.

Arisa
Wait, before we start, it might be a good idea to clear things with the student council first. Let's drop by the student council room for a bit.
Natsuki
Looks like you're up to something interesting.
Natsuki
I wasn't trying to, but you were all talking so excitedly, so it was kind of hard not to.
Natsuki
So you're making a pamphlet, huh? Sounds like fun.
Natsuki
It looked more like you were all bursting with motivation, not just Toyama-san. You seem pretty pumped too, Saya.
Natsuki
Considering we've been here since middle school, we have been here for pretty long.
Natsuki
Nah, if all of you are making it, it seems like it'll turn out pretty interesting. So I'll just look forward to seeing it.
Natsuki
Of course not. I really meant it.
Natsuki
Let me know if there's anything I can help with. I love Hanasakigawa just as much as you do, after all.
Natsuki
See ya. Good luck with making the pamphlet.

Arisa
Just so you know, what you did wasn't interviewing. It was more like on-site reporting. You practically went undercover as a member of their clubs.

Arisa
When we were visiting the Tennis Club, you were more vocal than the members. Okusawa-san looked a little embarrassed...

Tae
But thanks to Kasumi, I think they turned out to be good interviews. Everyone talked with us pretty happily.

Saaya
Yeah. Plus, when I was taking pictures during their practices, I was able to get some lively shots. Don't you think having more realistic photos will make things more appealing?

Rimi
Kasumi-chan seems to enjoy whatever she does, so everyone around her naturally gets excited too.

Saaya
Fufu, I think it'll be fine. I made sure to take separate pictures for the club introductions.

Kasumi
If they're going to see pictures of me, I'd rather they saw ones of me doing band activities~.

Arisa
Whoa, hold on! That's completely missing the point of this! Right now, we're doing club introductions!
Transcript

Saaya
Yeah, the interview compilation. It's tougher than I thought, so I'm struggling with it quite a bit...

Saaya
"The best part of the Track and Field Club is its summer training camp! On the final day of last year's training camp, we all ate curry and it tasted so wonderful!"

Saaya
So I have to shorten it to "The best part of the Track and Field Club is its summer training camp!" Otherwise, it won't all fit...
Rimi & Saaya
...

Saaya
Once I start wondering if this will really convey the appeal of the Track and Field Club to middle school students, the answer becomes less and less clear the more I think about it.

Saaya
Rather than the actual response to the interview, I'm starting to feel like the story of them eating curry together is more important.

Saaya
Umm, if I recall, the ones listed in last year's pamphlet were the pool, the gymnasium, the archery hall... Oh, and the special classroom.

Saaya
Yeah, I don't think the courtyard was included. Probably because it doesn't really feel like a facility.

Saaya
The sakura trees bloom during spring, so if students do come to Hanasakigawa, that scenery is something we'd definitely want them to see.

Rimi
Eating a bento lunch in the courtyard would be another of our recommendations, wouldn't it? Fufufu.
Transcript

Saaya
In addition to the club introductions and facility introductions, we think it would be good to talk about what the students think is the best part of the school.

Rimi
Saya-chan and I talked about it, and we think that method would help others learn about Hanasakigawa.

Saaya
Rather than just simply listing facts, if we're going to put everything in the students' point of view, don't you think that sort of information is more important?

Rimi
If the students read something like that, they would be able to imagine what sort of school life is waiting for them.

Kasumi
Mine has to be the courtyard! Ah~, and I can't forget about the gymnasium either. We also did the culture festival show and the graduation ceremony...

Saaya
Exactly. Instead of just locations, there are also school events that people want to recommend, right?

Arisa
In other words, instead of a pamphlet simply introducing the school, we'd be making a Hanasakigawa guidebook.

Arisa
Plus, we can't just introduce our recommendations. We'd have to collect them from all over the school, right?

Arisa
What kind of poster is that?! Is it supposed to be some folk tale drawing?! Go with something more simple!

Arisa
Well, I think two volumes will be out of the question, but I'll at least try asking Rinko-senpai about it.
Transcript
Natsuki
Ah, if it isn't Saya! Morning! I saw the survey box in the hall.
Natsuki
Of course. I already put one in.
Natsuki
That~... is a secret. If I told you, then what would be the point of an anonymous survey?
Natsuki
You know, I noticed this when you were collecting toys, but everyone in Poppin'Party is really active. It's like you get everyone else involved before anyone even knows it.
Natsuki
I dunno, you've been like that too lately.
Natsuki
I mean, this time around, things started with your idea, right? That's what I heard from Ushigome-san.
Natsuki
Well, I think that amount of greed is just right for you.
Natsuki
Definitely. I've known you since middle school, so there's no doubt about it.
Natsuki
Ah, I almost forgot. I told my other friends to write their recommendations too.
Natsuki
I hope you collect a lot of recommendations.

Arisa
Judging by the weight of the box, I figured it was pretty full, but there is even more than I imagined.

Tae
There were quite a few girls in class talking about what to write. Eve and Hagumi said they wrote a lot for us too.

Rimi
Let's see... She mentioned... the overly sweet canned coffee you can buy at the vending machine in the Academic Affairs Building.

Kasumi
Ah~, I know what she means! I bought that myself one time and I was really surprised! It's so sweet that you get even more thirsty.

Kasumi
Yeah, well, sometimes you just kinda feel like drinking one. You should try it next time, Arisa.

Kasumi
This is really interesting! Hey, what's written on the ones you guys have? I wanna read them right away!

Kasumi
Okay, I'm gonna read this one! "I liked the One Hundred Poems tournament in the gymnasium. Since then, I've gotten interested in classic literature." Hear that?!

Rimi
Let's see, written on this one is... "I definitely recommend the rabbit hutch. You can meet a bunch of cute rabbits."
All
Ahahahaha.

Kasumi
But you know, even though we're all supposed to be at the same school, everyone has different recommendations. That's really amazing!
Transcript
Rimi & Saaya
Excuse us.
All
Oh~!

Arisa
The number of pages went up quite a bit, so it took some time, but I think it's pretty high quality.

Tae
Still, I think it's a really great picture. The school is all lit up by the morning sun. It's just so pretty.

Arisa
The student council's faculty advisor also praised it and said they wanted to use it next year too.

Kasumi
Ah, this picture from the roof is really good too! The area in the photo is the downtown area, right?

Arisa
I'm sure it's fine. There are some aspects of Hanasakigawa that seem to include the downtown area as well.

Kasumi
Still, looking at this pamphlet, the students sure had a lot of things they wanted to recommend.

Saaya
It's been a while since I first came to the school, but there were quite a few recommendations that I didn't know about.

Kasumi
Reading this reminded me of when I first enrolled here! On the day of the entrance ceremony, didn't I bump into you at the school gate, Saya?

Saaya
Then that mean students will recommend even more things about the school in the future... Right?
