Heeey! Over here!

Hello, Ai, my sweet love!

Whoa, such passion! And what a huge bear hug right off the bat! It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy it's almost unBEARable, FUR real! Geddit?!

I geddit!

Ahahahahahaha!

Thanks for inviting us today, Ai.

And thank you for coming! My friend's singing at the rock festival today. It's going to be a blast the whole way through so let's go and watch!

You have a friend who's in a heavy metal band? I love it! I wonder what songs we'll be able to hear. My heart is racing so much it's about to burn up!

Hold the burning off until we get to the venue at least! But I'm glad you're so excited about it, even though I'm not the one singing.

Hearing others praise our friends or say they like what our friends do makes us happy too. I also feel very happy whenever everyone in the School Idol Club gets praised.

Aww, I'm gonna TEAR up! Because what you just said was top TIER! Geddit? Ahahahaha!

You're going to make me cry too! AI'S making the tears flow from my EYES! *Giggle*

Gosh, you guys are really turning it up to eleven today.

Let's head to the venue now! A lot of other interesting bands besides my friend's one will also be performing. I'm sure you guys will love it.

Oooh, that was so cool! So wonderful!

What did you think, Mari? Are you having fun?

That was the best. I could feel the aggressive heavy metal sounds rockin' through my soul! I can't believe I've never heard of such a spectacular band until today!

My heart isn't just going to burn up, it's going to…it's going to explode! My emotions are going to go kablam!

[Fade in/out.]

*Sigh* My heart won't stop pounding! That concert was so great, and brilliant, and fantastic!

I had a lot of fun too! I was so happy to see so many people cheering for my friend's band.

I was just a little overwhelmed by the fervor of the event. But my heart was fluttering with excitement the whole way!

When was the last time I listened to so much rock music in one go? It must have been before I joined the School Idol Club and started listening to tons of school idol music.

That sounds about right. I've been a fan of metal since a long time ago, but I've also started listening to more school idol songs since joining Aqours.

And during the time leading up to a live show, we'll usually be concentrating on and listening to the songs we'll be performing on the day.

Today was not only fun, but it was also great stimulus for me as a school idol. No, for me as a person!

Such high praise! I'll let my friends know. I'm sure they'll be happy to hear it. Oh, I'll send you the band's account. They update it with concert announcements and stuff.

Thanks! And I'll be able to send them a fan letter directly, right? I'm going to follow them right away.

My shininess is at full charge after attending such an amazing concert. I'm going to channel this energy into the next Guilty Kiss live show to make it a resounding success!

A Guilty Kiss live show, huh? Seeing Riko, Yoshiko, and you perform as a trio would be so cool! I'd love to go and watch, but…

You have a live show too?

No, she has to help out the Volleyball Club and play for them.

That's right! I hope you'll be having a ball on stage while I'm hitting them on the court. Go, Guilty Kiss!

*Giggle* Thank you. I'll sing my heart out so that even you can hear it!
