Clock Zero Character Interview (2010 Shuuya)
Tokita Shuuya (2010) interview
Q1: Profile
“Tokita Shuuya, 11 years old. Blood type B. Birthdate: 11th October, Libra. I work as a model.”
Q2: Likes/Dislikes
“My favourite food? There isn’t anything specific…… but for some reason no one agrees with me when I think something is delicious.”
Q3: How do you spend your off days?
“I work as a model. Most of the time, my off days are spent working. Other than that……I mostly read books.”
Q4: Type of girl that you like? **(T/N: homonym with ‘extraterrestrial’ or literally ‘other + star’)
“Other star……? That’s a mysterious question. But, I do like stars. Hm? Did I get it wrong?”
Q5: Dream for the future
“My dream for the future…… that’s a slightly cruel question…… Perhaps, to change the world to one where the people that are important to me can become happy? And after that, to become an oil tycoon known as the hero who saved the world and do as I please.”
Q6: Message for ‘her’
“……Even to someone like me, you are so kind. Even carrying the cruel fate that you do, your kindness has never changed.
Even as I decide that I cannot impose on that kindness, when I see your face, that resolve wavers. …… I really am selfish.
I wish for you…… to keep smiling. I do not wish to lose that smile. …… It’s probably unfair for me to say this.”

Otopa 2018 Clock Zero Stage Drama Haiku translation
Otomate Party Clock Zero’s skit
character submitted haikus for the haiku contest with the theme of ‘romantic love'
Takato
wherever I look
about in endless summer
I see your visage
* (‘endless summer’ is the alternative flower name for ‘Nadeshiko’)
Madoka
1.
Hanabusa’s store
With uncountable flavours
the best in the world
(first haiku was a slogan for Nakaba’s future store)
2.
On the surface of
the pool of thoughts reflected
is the moon at dusk
* (explanation: When I think of you, my heart wavers like the moon reflected on the surface of the water) (he insisted that this poem was written based on references to existing poems in textbooks and not at all based on his personal feelings)
Tora
perfect, bring it on!
those that want to die early
come out to the front!
Nakaba
I can't conceal it
I don't want to hide my heart
I really like you!
Shuuya
to my beloved
I pledge to eternity
on this, your finger
* (implied, marriage proposal, ring finger)
Riichirou
Rittan misunderstood the rules for the haiku contest and submitted instead a famous tanka poem that is part of the Hyakunin Isshu poetry anthology. This is a passionate poem that conveys the feeling of willingness to sacrifice one’s life for someone. (Number 50, Kimi ga tame, by Fujiwara Yoshitaka)
Nadeshiko
Wandering in dreams
I hear your beloved voice
yet my tears still fall
* (Literally the last line is ‘tears dry’, but the given explanation for her poem is: In a vague dream, even though I can hear your voice, because I cannot see your face, my tears won’t stop)
