こんにちは、土屋です。
もうすぐ4月だというのに恐ろしい寒さですね。長野は天気予報で雪とか出てました よ(結局降りませんでしたが)。そんな寒い春ですが、先日のアルトネリコファ ン感謝祭PHASE2にご参加いただいた皆さま、ありがとうございました!当日は強 風で電車が止まってしまって来れなかった方もいらっしゃったようで、本当に大 変な日でした。また、惜しくも抽選漏れしてしまった方も本当に申し訳ありませ んでした。
今日の引鉄では、そんな皆さまにファン感謝祭の一幕でお目見えしていた、とあ るクッションについてのお話をしたいと思います。今回の感謝祭では、ご来場の 皆さまに人格10人クッションがプレゼントされましたが、実はあのクッションに なる前に、とんでもなクッションをプレゼント予定でした。バンダイナムコゲームスさんの方で クッションプレゼントが決定され、デザインを任せられたとき、さて、どんなも のにしようか…と頭をひねった結果出てきたのが、ハーヴェスターシャ様クッショ ンでした。今回のイベントのコンセプトが「ぶっちゃけ無礼講(と勝手に決めつ けていた)」でしたので、それならクッションだってネタ全開で!!と調子に乗っ たら、思いっきりNGを喰らって瞬時にして没になってしまったのです。没理由は 「自発的に志願して買うならともかく、プレゼントとして渡すには余りに過激で 人を選ぶでしょ」というもの。でも、このクッションデザインを確認したプロデュー サーの河内氏が1日凹んでしまったくらいなので、プレゼントは人格クッション で良かったのかも知れません。
その曰く付きのハーヴェスターシャ様クッションですが、会場でもプロジェクター を通してでは殆ど文字を読めなかったのではないかと思います。そんなわけで、 ほんの一部を抜粋してお見せしたいと思います。それがこれ↓

Hello everyone, it's Tsuchiya.
We're almost at April, and the cold has gotten even more fearsome, to the point where the weather reports for Nagoya even state that there's snow around! (But it hasn't really fallen yet.) And while it's been such a cold spring, I really want to give my thanks to everyone who came to the Ar tonelico Fan Thanksgiving Festival PHASE 2 the other day! As there were so many who couldn't come due to the fierce winds and the trains stopping, I understand it was a really difficult day. I also wish to apologize for the fact that the raffle results regrettably ended up getting leaked.
For today's issue of "Pulling the Trigger", I want to talk about a certain cushion that everyone who came to the Fan Thanksgiving Festival had the chance to see during a part of the event. We gave to ten people from among the attendees to the Fan Thanksgiving Festival a cushion, but even before that cushion was an idea, we had planned to gift them with a really ridiculous cushion. The people from Bandai Namco Games had decided on the cushion present idea, and when we were tasked with the design for it, we wondered... what could be the most ridiculous design we could come with for it? And after wracking our heads for a bit, the end result was a Lady Harvestasha cushion. And since the concept for this event was [Let's speak (about whatever we want) frankly, without holding back, and be free and at ease!], we should take advantage of it for unveiling the cushion! But when we tried to let ourselves get carried away by that mood, we ended up reconsidering it, and due to that we decided it wasn't a good plan and discarded the idea. The reason why the plan was scrapped was because [it would have been fine if it was something people could buy by their own choice, but it was too much of an extreme choice for a present that was supposed to be given to the people]. But given the producer, Mr. Kawachi was the one who checked out the final design for the cushion and decided to give it a go after about one day, maybe it was for the better that the Personae Cushion was the one we gifted during the event.
Well then, the Lady Harvestasha Cushion has quite the checkered past, but I don't think the writing on the image of it we showed through a projector during the event was readable to anyone. Given this, I wanted to show you all a little extract from it. Check the image below↓
