Nozomi Ep. 15: We Made This Solo Live Show Together!

Nozomi has been practicing away with the aid of Emma and Ai in search of a different way to express herself. Everyone pitches in to help for her solo show, which is when she realizes something.

Player

Today's the last practice session before your solo show. Right, Nozomi? Um… Nozomi?

Nozomi

Oho, you have excellent luck coming your way today, Emma! It seems something happy awaits you on your trip home.

Emma

You mean it?! Does that mean I'll need to be around you for it to happen, Nozomi? Ooh, let's grab some coffee or tea together on our way home!

Ai

Heeey, what about me? Gimme a fortune reading too!

Player

H-Hang on just a second! Nozomi has a live show tomorrow. Shouldn't we start practice first?

Nozomi

*Laugh* Play comes first at all times! That's just how I am, no changing it. Just wait a bit longer until I finish reading Ai's fortune.

Ai

Woo-hoo!

Player

Okay, so we'll start your final practice session after that. I have to admit, Nozomi, you've already settled right in here at Nijigasaki!

Nozomi

*Chuckle* I'm glad we're getting along so well. I've learned a lot from everyone at Nijigasaki this time, especially Emma and Ai.

Nozomi

I was so glad that you two instructed me on so much, despite being so busy yourselves! My heart's bursting with affection because of you guys!

Ai

No way, we're the ones who learned a ton from you! It's been a real blast getting to practice with you.

Emma

We were just saying how we want to be as warm and friendly as you. Weren't we, Ai?

Ai

Yep! You rock, Nozomi! All of our club members will be rolling up to your solo show to show support, so give it all you've got!

Nozomi

Thanks so much. Now I'm even more excited! I've had people show up to cheer me on before, but this time it really feels like everyone has my back.

Player

*Giggle* How does it feel, getting all that support?

Nozomi

It's the best! There's no way I'll make any mistakes with everyone pushing me on!

Nozomi

All of you make sure to enjoy yourselves too, okay? It's gonna be a great one, so I want you to come along for the ride!

[Fade in/out.]

Nozomi

Guys! Thanks so much for coming out to my solo show today!

Nozomi

I'll be performing this show all by myself. I've practiced really hard for this day!

Nozomi

But each time I practiced, I had lots of people there to help me and cheer me along. I think it's impossible for a single person to put on a solo live show alone.

Nozomi

I wanna make this a live show jam-packed with all of my gratitude for everyone who cheered me on, and for all of you who've come to see me!

Nozomi

I'll put all my feelings into my songs and perform them better than ever! That'll make me feel just that bit closer to all of you!

Nozomi

Today will be the best day ever! Let's spend it having fuuuuun!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Nozomi, your live show was brilliant! The show was a perfect mix of tender songs and energetic performances!

Nozomi

Thank you! It felt worlds different from any live show I've done before!

Nozomi

Although some people might feel disappointed that it was so unlike what I've done up until now.

Player

No way, I don't think so.

Option 1: “It felt very Nozomi to me.”

Player

You're still so kind and you still wrap everyone up with your warmth. You've just powered up that same Nozomi essence!

Nozomi

Do you think so? *Chuckle* I sure hope I've powered up!

Option 2: “Discovering a new side of yourself is a thing to treasure.”

Player

It's not as though how you've acted up until now was lost. You should treasure getting to discover a new side of yourself!

Nozomi

*Chuckle* You may have a point. So I had another self I didn't know about inside me all this time!

Nozomi

It's all thanks to your support that I took on this solo show challenge. Thanks for always having my back. I mean it!

Player

Nozomi… Thank you for doing the same!

Rin

Nozomiiii! Your solo show was so much fun! You can put that much energy into a live show, huh?

Honoka

Right, right! And hey, I think your singing voice got even more soft and tender! I'd get pumped up and calmed down back-to-back, it was wild!

Nozomi

Aww, Rin, Honoka! *Giggle* I set out on a training journey because I wanted to surprise all of you, you see.

Honoka

That's what you were up to? It was so lonely with you always going over to Nijigasaki to practice! You could have practiced more with us, you know…

Rin

I was really worried about what we'd do if you ran off to join Nijigasaki for good!

Player

Whaaaat?!

Nozomi

*Laugh* There's no way that would ever happen! Leaving my beloved Otonokizaka behind is out of the question!

Nozomi

Though I did think for a moment there that it might be fun to be a Nijigasaki student.

Rin, Honoka

Um, Nozomi?!

Nozomi

*Chuckle* Just joking. I want to push myself even harder as a school idol from now on. I want my enjoyment to be able to take everyone else in μ's forward!

Nozomi

I've been thinking I wanted to try my hand at all kinds of things. I'm sure you'll be there to lend me your help there, too… I'll be counting on you!

Player

Sure thing!
