Do you have any plans for summer vacation, Kotori?

I haven't made up my mind about anything yet, but I was thinking of challenging myself with something new.

What a fun idea! You're so motivated, Kotori.

Yeah! Recently, I've been watching everyone put on these moving live shows and host new events. It's been very inspirational.

I get it. Hearing about everyone working so hard makes me as happy as if I were doing it myself!

Yeah! My friends are all so incredible! I'm so proud of them…

But something in the back of my mind is also saying I need to work harder, or I'm going to be left behind.

I had no idea…

I've been thinking that if I try something new this summer, I can become an even better version of myself.

That sounds great to me. I hope you find something cool to try.

I'd like to try something that no one else has done yet, but I'm not sure what that would be…

How about trying something completely unrelated to school idols?

Well, I was hoping to find something that would not only improve myself, but also benefit everyone in some way.

Maybe we could go to the library or a museum? We might be able to find something to get you started there.

Oh? I didn't know they gave out flyers here.

How pretty! I think they might be made from washi paper.

I've never seen these before. This one says, “Come and learn to make hand-held fans out of washi paper.”

“Connect to the future by transforming traditional culture.” How lovely!

It also says that you can learn more about traditional Japanese colors.

Traditional Japanese colors? Are those different from normal colors?

I've never heard of them, even from going to the fabric store so many times…

I guess I don't know anything about traditional Japanese colors. I'd love to learn more about them!

You did it, Kotori. You found your new thing!

I did! Let's go and check it out!
