Animestyle 007 Sound! Euphonium interview: Jukki Hanada translated (part 2)

As Sound! Euphonium is one of my favorite shows to watch, it became one of my favorite shows to translate about. I previously translated an interview with director Tatsuya Ishihara and series director Naoko Yamada in the periodical Animestyle, but there was another interview in that issue. This post is the second of two parts where Oguro interviews the series composer/scriptwriter for Sound! Euphonium, Jukki Hanada. Here is the first part of this interview.

When I finished writing, I thought “This is really good.”

Note: I use the term “scenario” here to reflect what Hanada himself wrote. Changes can/are made to this by the time of recording dialogue, so I use the term “script” to refer to what the voice cast themselves read. In contrast to Western film/entertainment, the scenario is much like a script itself with dialogue and actions written instead of a general framework of a story.
