Ch. 35 Ep. 9: What Is Your Aqours?
After recalling their joint live show with ÎĽ's, Aqours grasps the direction of their own promo video. As soon as they put out a request for contributions on the website, they get a ton of responses! What do they all say?
Hanamaru
We've gotten so many pictures, videos, and drawings, zura!
Ruby
What is the Aqours in everyone's hearts like?
Chika
Oooh, I wanna see!
Hanamaru
Let's look at them one at a time, zura. Okay, so this is the first one!
Kanan
This one's a fan of Riko. See? It's a piano!
Mari
Hm, oh…? It says, “When I see a piano, I think of Riko.”
Riko
*Giggle* That's lovely to hear.
Hanamaru
Ah, this one's a magic sigil!
Yoshiko
My little demons must require more discipline if they're sending magic sigils so casually.
Yoshiko
Everyone remember that, okay? If you handle a magic sigil incorrectly—
You
Oh, a pool! I wonder if this is from a fan of mine. *Giggle*
Yoshiko
Let me finish!
Ruby
Pictures of a classroom and the library. These might be from other kids in our class!
Kanan
Here's the roof, the path to school, the beach, and the aquarium.
Dia
Oh, yes. Please have a look at this picture as well!
Chika
Hm? Isn't this the big cleanup we did for the Summer Festival?
Mari
Wow, I can't believe they even took a picture of that.
Yoshiko
Show us the videos too!
Kanan
This one is of the steps up to the shrine.
Chika
Hey, you're right!
Riko
This one is in the ocean.
Ruby
Wooow, it's so dreamy!
Dia
The ocean truly is the shining gem of Uchiura.
Kanan
Should we all go diving again?
You
Totally!
Mari
If we're going to go diving, then we should all go out and buy new swimsuits together!
Kanan
You wouldn't be able to see it once you have your wetsuit on, though.
Mari
Kanan, you just don't get it! It's all about how it makes you feel!
Riko
There are so many different kinds of Aqours in everyone's hearts.
Dia
*Giggle* It is indeed an honor that people connect us with so many places and things in their memories.
You
Even when it's matcha pudding?
Dia
An honor, I said!
Everyone
Ahahaha!
Hanamaru
By linking all of these up we can tell the whole story of Aqours up to now, zura.
Riko
But that wouldn't be enough for our Aqours Challenge, would it?
You
Probably not. How do we approach the whole showing people what Aqours is now aspect…?
Chika
A song!
Riko
Oh?
Chika
Yeah! There's a song that matches our story perfectly, right?
Chika
There are kids that started a club because they admire us, just like how we started ours because we admire ÎĽ's.
Chika
People look up to us… I never thought we'd inspire anyone like that, but here we are!
Chika
Now that I've realized that, I want to put it into a song!
You
I've got it!
Riko
You were talking about “Yume Kataruyori Yume Utaou,” right?
Chika
Yeah. It's time to move forward to new horizons!
[Fade in/out. On the phone.]
Player
I see. I take it the video's coming along fine too?
Chika
Yeah! We've figured out all the little details, and we've gone back to being knee-deep in Kanan's super intensive training every day.
Player
*Laugh* That sounds fun, though.
Chika
Eheheh. It's tiring but super fun!
Chika
I think you'll understand the spirit of my challenge, plus the challenge I took on with Riko and You, when you watch the video.
Chika
So I hope you're looking forward to it!
