Everyone dolled up! 2-1H

Everyone dolled up! 2-1H

[After the roles were decided]

[Sanshuu Middle - Rooftop]

Uta: Life-sized Hinamatsuri, huh! I'm looking forward to it.

Mit: Yeah. We behind-the-scenes workers have to do our best too.

Sek: The outfits are important for sure, but since we're doing this, I'd like to make the decorations for the display stand life-sized as well.

Shi: Like hina-arare [colourful rice crackers]... or hishi mochi [rhombical three-layered mochi]?

Suz: That might be fun! If we're making them life-sized, would the hina-arare be around the size of a soccer ball?

Yum: And let us not forget amazake! Though the amount we would need for a life-sized display would be staggering.

Aka: Amazake? Aren't you supposed to put shirozake [white sake] on the doll stand? [1]

Tam: At Tama's place we used kids' champagne! You too, right, Anzu?

Anz: We used shirozake, I think. Seems that Hinamatsuri is different not just between areas, but even households.

Uta: And the all-important Hina dolls have a lot of variations, too.

Mit: They can be more or less fancy depending on the maker. There are other differences too, like the amount of levels on the stand.

Tak: With the fancy ones, you get a whole lot of levels and a bunch of dolls for roles you haven't even seen before.

Chi: Yeah. Like those strange dolls with brooms and dustpans...

Aya: There are even cleaner dolls! The world of Hina dolls is so deep.

Mit: We should do a lot of research until the day of the event and make a lovely doll stand.

Aya: Yeah! I'll do my best!

Sek: There are all sorts of Hina dolls, but they're all pretty. They're a special thing for girls.

Sek: Alrighty, I'll work real hard!

Nat: Yeah, me too. Even normal Hina dolls are impressive, so life-sized ones should be incredibly impressive. I'm looking forward to it.

Notes:
1 - Shirozake is a rice liqueur with an alcohol content of around 9% (as opposed to the commonly non-alcoholic amazake) commonly drunk on Hinamatsuri.
