Ch. 12 Ep. 2: Broadcasting Our Feelings
Running an event is filled with both fun and hard work. During the discussions, someone brings up the School Idol Festival website. How is the public reacting to all of your efforts?
You
Hey, come to think of it… Has there been any response to our website?
Nico
C'mon, you think I'm an amateur? I've been keeping it regularly updated so the page views are through the roof!
Ayumu
We've got all of your daily posts to thank for that.
Emma
I've been looking forward to your daily posts as well. You come up with so many different topics!
Nico
Spoken like a true fan, Emma! You're so right. I've got so much content, it's comin' out of my ears!
Nico
There's no point having a website if no one visits it, right? Even an amateur knows you gotta work hard to keep your visitors entertained!
Nozomi
You never miss a beat when it comes to these things, do you, Nico-chi?
Eli
If only you were that passionate about your studies…
Nico
W-Well, we're not talking about those right now!
Hanayo
Hahaha… In any case, yes. We're getting a response.
Rin
We've got so many supportive messages coming in!
Riko
Really? Boy, that's a relief… I was worried what people might think, given that this event was officially canceled before…
Maki
We're getting a large response, but that doesn't mean we can just rest on our laurels.
Mari
Why? Is there some kind of problem?
Maki
People are being mostly supportive, but there are also some messages of concern coming through too.
Ruby
R-Really? What kinds of things are they saying?
Ruby
Actually, don't tell me. I'm too scared to know.
Kanan
No, we can't just sweep it under the rug. If there are improvements to be made, then we have to make them.
Dia
So, precisely what kind of opinions are we talking about here?
Nozomi
Hmm. Well, to put it simply, a lot of them just want to know what sort of event the School Idol Festival will even be.
Dia
So we are not explaining what the event entails well enough?
Nico
It'd be way quicker if you just looked at the messages yourself.
Nico
Here, have a look.
You
Let's see… “The 'Come Together, Dream Together!' slogan sounds like a lot of fun, but what kind of event is this exactly?”
Umi
There are a few messages saying the same thing.
Chika
So then the meaning of the slogan isn't getting through to them…?
Setsuna
I don't quite understand what they aren't getting…
Karin
It just means we're not conveying our message properly.
Maki
Maybe our wording was too abstract?
Hanamaru
I thought they'd at least get the feeling behind it…
Yoshiko
Exactly. It just exudes excitement!
Shizuku
While I agree with you, Yoshiko, it may be that feelings alone are not tangible enough to suffice.
Yoshiko
Argh, Shizuku! It's Yohane! YO-HA-NE!
Shizuku
R-Right…
Eli
It doesn't matter how good we think it is. If the people who might be interested don't understand it, there's no point.
Yoshiko
So does that mean we have to come up with a new slogan? I think the one we have is perfect as-is…
Player
No, I don't think we need to change our slogan.
Ayumu
I also think we should leave it as it is.
Kotori
Then what do we do to get our message across?
Rina
We gotta think of a way to help everyone understand.
Kasumi
But how?
Honoka
I know! We don't have to think too hard about it. We just gotta do what we usually do!
Chika
Yeah, exactly! Honoka's totally right!
Kanata
But what do you mean?
Ai
What do we normally do?
Nico
Quit being cryptic and spit it out already!
Player
You're talking about making a promotional video, right?
Honoka
Exactamundo!
Player
We should come up with a promo video to promote the event. The same way we do when we're showing off our new songs!
Nico
O-Ohhh, of course! A promo video, huh? That's way better than trying to awkwardly explain the slogan. I didn't think it was THAT run-of-the-mill.
Maki
Oh please, you had no clue.
Nico
I had all the clues!
Eli
That makes sense. We can explain what our motivations are and how we plan to make this fun for everyone in a video.
Chika
Yeah! Let's make a promo video filled with all of our hopes and plans for the event!
Setsuna
All of our hopes and plans? If we're showing them our plans, why don't we just show everyone how we're preparing for it?
Honoka
Oh, that's perfect! Let's go with Setsuna's idea and film some behind-the-scenes prep work!
Kotori
After seeing how much fun we're having working on the event, everyone else will want to join in too!
Mari
After all, fun is infectious, right?
Dia
Let us show everyone how we feel. Let us show them how we make our dreams a reality.
Player
All right! If we're all in agreement, then let's get filming!
