 * Translation = For work, I think it would be good to have a remote control and speed-type Stand that could read the client’s needs and present the hair and make-up in an instant, all while handling multiple clients. Something like Cinderella or Atum, while also being a colony Stand like Harvest and Bad Company to handle multiple clients. I’m a huge fan and have been reading JoJo without missing a single volume since its inception, so I would be happy if I could use that kind of a Stand!
 * Transcript = 仕事柄、あったらいいなと思うのは、相手の要望を読み取ってヘアもメイクも瞬時に表現し、同時に何人も仕上げられる遠隔自動操縦&スピード型のスタン ド. たとえばシンデレラやアトゥム神のようにイメージを操作しながら、ハーヴェストやバッド・カンパニーのような無数のスタンドで同時に何人も仕上げる. 「ジョジョ』は連載当初から欠かさず読んでいる大ファンなので、そんなスタンドが使えたらうれしいです!}
