We’ve gathered questions addressed to alice nine. from readers posting on the ARTIST DELI section of the hévn mobile site, which they’ve tackled head-on!!
Q01. What do you associate with summer? Also, what sort of fashion would get us noticed by you during summer lives? (うさぎ)
Show: Summer means ice cream, and it means Häagen-Dazs. You’ll notice something if you wear a pikachu kigurumi.
Hiroto: Wear an alice nine T-shirt, with an alice towel, with an alice wristband, and a passionate heart!
Tora: Yukatas and bathing suits (laugh)
Saga: If you mention summer, I think of LIVES. Wear whatever feels right to you at the time ☆
Nao: Summer means the ocean!! I’ll always notice you!!
NOTES:
oo1. Show words his answer here so that it seems like he’s saying he will notice fans who wear a pikachu kigurumi, but adds a phrase at the end to change the meaning so that the fans will notice something if they wear that outfit. That ambiguity doesn’t exist in English, so I just translated it for the resulting meaning. Hopefully that makes sense!
Q02. Where is a place you feel relaxed? (南)
Show: At home, or wherever the other members are holed up
Hiroto: During the MCs at lives
Tora: The convenience store
Saga: My own bedroom
Nao: At the playground
Q03. What things are you collecting? Also, what’s the thing you want most? (くいーん)

Q04. I think you all as alice nine. have done lives in the northeast of the country, but can you name all the prefectures from the area? (悠-HARUKA-)
