Nakashima experienced an ouenjouei in Kawasaki. He was amused by the crowd's "cheering" like "KRAY-KRAY-KRAY FORESIGHT!" and responding to/speaking the chracters' lines. At the end of this discussion, Saotome goes "Man, I wanna do that too..." adding, "Now I really want to say (Masato) Sakai's lines."
They talk next about the script Nakashima did for Gekidan: Shinkansen's stage production/film Ban'yuuki (which Saotome was also in). Saotome said that the lines would be normally somewhat embarrassing to speak, but Shinkansen's staging, music and lighting accompaniment really enhanced how cool this work was. Asked about the writing the lines, Nakashima says he thinks about how he incorporates the sound of the words' rhythm into the words. The article then talks about some Promare tidbits, like how the character names come from Greek mythology and Latin. "Promare" comes from Prometheus, and "Lio" is derived from Prometheus' son Deucalion. They said "Galo" also comes from a son named "Megalos" (meaning "great"), but as far as I know Prometheus didn't have a son by that name, but it could be an epithet of some other hero.
