Ch. 17 Ep. 5: Show Time for Aqours!
Both the dance battle and the test of nerves were fiercely fought. The great battles were filled with smiles all round and featured a winner, loser, and pair that tied. Next up is Aqours' performance!
Player
Oh, Aqours' performance is about to start.
Honoka
Woo! I gotta go see it!
Honoka
Kotori, Umi, you guys should come too.
Kotori
For sure! I'm coming!
Umi
I will. This will be the perfect opportunity to watch and learn.
Player
Ayumu, Ai, Rina? You also wanna come along to watch Aqours perform?
Ai
What?! Is it already time for their live show? That's a performance I just can't miss!
Rina
I wanna go too. Rina-chan Board says, “Dazzle.”
Ayumu
Me too. I just know Aqours' live show will be amazing.
Honoka
Did you know that Chika and the others were even practicing their dance routine this morning at the beach in Odaiba?
Kotori
No way! This morning too?!
Honoka
Yup. Emma said she saw them on her early-morning walk.
Ayumu
I guess that's what sets them apart! We also saw them practicing early in the morning back when we were in Numazu, didn't we?
Umi
I can definitely see how their synchronized dances are perfectly timed. They must really put a lot of effort into building on their practice.
Ai
Aqours practicing their synchronized dances backed by the AQUAmarine waters of Odaiba's beach.
Rina
I wouldn't exactly say the waters of that beach are aquamarine…
Ai
Come on! Don't sweat the details!
Honoka
Gahhh! I really can't wait to watch them perform!
Player
It's still a little early, but let's go!

Chika
And that was Wake up Challenger!!!
Player
Wow.
Rina
Incredible.
Ayumu
Yeah. I've seen them practice numerous times in the past, but that was on a completely different level!
Ai
That was insane, seeing the real-deal Aqours.
Honoka
Totally. Aqours is awesome. Just outta this world!
Umi
While it was a given that Aqours' performance was amazing, the sense of unity amongst the audience was quite remarkable as well.
Ayumu
It was as if the hearts of everyone here became one beating heart of solidarity.
Kotori
I got goosebumps from all of the excitement!
Player
Starting with the next song, how about we get up right next to them to cheer them on? What do you think?
Honoka
I was just about to suggest that!
Ai
It's hard to stick around out here to watch them, right?!
Ayumu
The person next to us said they'd lend us some of their light sticks!
Rina
This many of them? Thank you. Rina-chan Board says, “Bow.”
Honoka
Arrrrggghhh! I can't hold back any longer! Let's go, Umi!
Umi
Right! I will now show them what it looks like when I get serious about supporting them!
Kotori
When you get serious about supporting them? What does that mean?! Umi?!
Honoka
Getting serious means exactly that! Time to cheer our hearts out for them!
Umi
Yeah!
Kotori
Whaaat?!
Ayumu
*Chuckle* We can't let them upstage us!
Ai
I'm gonna cheer like crazy for μ's' live show as well, so make sure you find me!
Kotori
And I'm gonna scream my lungs out for all of Nijigasaki's performances, too!
Rina
So happy. Rina-chan Board says, “Warm and fuzzy.”
[Fade in/out.]
Chika
In case you missed it earlier, we're Aqours! Thank you for coming today!
Chika
The School Idol Festival is an event put together by school idols and the people who kindly support school idols!
Chika
Everyone here loves school idols.
Chika
We have been able to pull off this huge event because school idols have brought us all together!
Chika
School idols are amazing! They're awesome, right?!
Chika
All right, let's get even more hyped up together and create something awesome beyond the awesome you already know!
Chika
The next song is…
