未来のスタア誕生!
癒しの「女子二楽坊」♪
プリズムリバー楽団解散のニュースは我々を悲しませたが、明るいニュースもある。最近、天女と見まがうルックスの二人による弦楽デュオ「九十九姉妹」が密かに人気を集め始めているのだ。僭越ながら小誌より「女子二楽坊」の名を勝手に送らせて頂きたい。 "Two Girls Band"[1]
古びた琵琶の付喪神・九十九弁々(自称姉)と、九十九八橋(自称妹)。ともに自ら音を発して演奏できる程度の能力を持つ。先日開催されたライブ「九十九プラス1夜行」も好評だった。次回のライブ開催も、今から待ち遠しいところだ。 "Night parade of Ninety-Nine Plus One"[2]

Notes

  1. "Two Girls Band" is a parody of a Chinese instrumental band "Twelve Girls Band". In late '90s and early '00s they were popular for their exotic mysterious mood; most of their instruments were Chine-origin, they have good lookings. Moreover, they wouldn't speak in front of fans probably because they were able to veil their uncapability of speaking Japanese. It should be a reason for Aya describing them as "heavenly maidens".
  2. "Night parade of Ninety-Nine Plus One" is a wordplay of "pandemonium", or lit. "night parade of a hundred oni". The name of Tsukumo Sisters spells "ninety nine", and it plus one equals a hundred. It isn't officially shown who is the "one", but their live concerts should take place at night.
