One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Your movements are getting dull, guys. Use your whole body.

O-Okay!

One, two, three, four. One, two… Yoshiko, you're breathing really hard. You hit your limit already?

D-Don't be ridiculous. I am only exerting twenty percent of my true capabilities! In fact, I could descend twice-over!

I get the twenty percent part, but what the heck does descending mean here?

Well, if this is too easy for you, I'll have to put together a special regimen just for you.

I-If you force me to unleash my full potential, it will spell the end of the world… *Huff* *Wheeze*

Oh yeah? I'd say Yoshiko would give out before the planet would.

All right, all right. Enough chit-chat. You're wasting precious stamina.

All things considered, you are far more into this than usual.

After hearing that beautiful song, who the heck wouldn't be?

So it's RIKO'S fault we're suffering like this!

Wh-Why is it my fault?!

Well, the song does get you pretty amped up, that's for sure!

Yup! It's a masterpiece! The kind that only comes around once every century!

Stop! You're just gonna make it harder for me to write any future songs!

We gotta practice real hard so that we do Riko's song justice!

Yeah, that's the spirit!

But practicing on the sand like this is so hard!

We're doing it to help build your stamina up too.

Oh?! Then that means we can get out of running later, right?

There's no getting out of that.

Y-You're a monster, zura!

I had a hunch when I saw Chika head off early in the morning that they might be out doing some intensive training. Turns out I was right.

Just 'cause we're by the water doesn't mean they have to act so koi. We could use some schooling too!

I can't believe they're up this early… Most people would still be dead asleep right now.

Kanata's asleep on her feet.

*Snore*

…That's some talent she has there.

Regardless, Aqours sure is amazing.

Yeah. You can tell how much energy they're putting into their dance moves.

Not to mention doing it all on the sand. Their core strength must be incredible if they can keep from sliding all over the place.

It looks real tough…

Don't be such a baby, Rinako!

Oh, do you think you can do that, Kasumi?

Hmm… If that's a yes or no question, I'd have to go with…yesno!

That's not an answer and you know it!

It's incredible how hard all of Aqours is working. We could really learn a lot from them.

Yeah, it's definitely praiseworthy to be up this early for practice.

I wanna try doing a synchronized dance like that too!

That's the sort of dance that only works if everyone is completely in unison, right?

Yeah. You can't do it unless you understand each other completely. They must trust each other a whole lot.

They're not just dancing for themselves, but for all of Aqours. You can totally tell just by watching them.

It just goes to show just how amazing Aqours is.

Just look at them… It'd be a waste not to use this for the promo video. I knew I was right to bring my camera.

It really is an amazing sight. Just watching them is enough to get me excited too.

I wanna join in! I wanna practice with everyo…

Ack, Rin! We're supposed to be hiding right now! Hush!

Aww, whaaat?

But it is a bit frustrating to watch, too…

Yeah, seeing them practice is really lighting a fire in my heart!

To put it simply, none of us want to lose to them.

Yup, we're school idols as well, after all!

We may all be partners striving for the same goal, but we're also rivals. There's no doubt about that!

We're not gonna let them get one over on us! Let's get practicing as well!

Yeah!
