Their assignment was to make sure that all members of the orchestra would remember about their posture, keep the smile on their faces and move in a certain way, resembling a star or celebrity. The job is not easy as some members of the group are not motivated. They always keep busy, and think more about their creative production, their spots to focus on, and concentrate on, and there is not so much space left for the self-image. The performance should be visually interesting, Tokita keeps saying. People look at you while you are playing, and also while you are waiting for your turn to begin. Niga believes that books should not be allowed during the rehearsals. Some musicians bring them along and read them, whenever they are not expected to play. Taro saw that happening even during the regular ballet performance. Some musicians believe that since the audience’s attention is on the ballet dancers, no one would bother to look down and see what the musicians are doing, like there would not be binoculars, Tokita says. Nid had an idea to move all the rehearsals to the ballet rehearsing rooms. After all, those rooms are practically covered with mirrors, so everyone could see their own actions, but according to Niga, it’s just like reading a book during the performance.
