(Phew, I'm finally back home. I thought my short-term study abroad trip flew by in a flash, but coming back home makes it feel as though I've been away for a while.)

(I wonder if everyone's well.)

(I can't wait to talk to them. It's practice time right now, so maybe I'll drop by for a quick moment.)

[Fade in/out.]

Come on, hurry up! The School Idol Association's live show is gonna start! Oh gosh, I'm so excited!

Yeah, 'cause it was so packed full last time we couldn't get in! I hope we actually get to see them today!

What?! A live show?!

(Everyone is performing a live show today, huh? And it's incredible that the venue gets so packed that people can't get in! I gotta go see them too!)

(But I guess there are still people who think we're an “association.” We should put more effort in the future into letting everyone know that we're a “club.”)

Um, excuse me! Where's the live show being held?!

[Fade in/out.]

So who here hates me?

*Chuckle* No problems there. Give it one minute, and you'll be my fan.

(Huh? Who's that?)

You're in for another treat today!

Is everyone ready to get excited?

We've got our energy recharged, ready, and rockin' to go!

(Whoa! It's Karin, Ai, and Shioriko! They look so cool! And the staging effects have really been cranked up! It's like the musicals I saw where I was studying abroad!)

(I wonder who's going to start singing first. Aww, I wish I could hear everyone's songs at once!)

Just leave everything up to me.

I'll take full control!
