Ch. 36 Ep. 2: Roll Out, Nijigasaki!
Nijigasaki has finally received a campaign request of their own from the school idol fansite! What does their column entail?
Player
Sorry to keep you guys waiting! A campaign request from the school idol fansite came in for Nijigasaki!
Kasumi
The time to spread my charms across the whole world is finally here!
Kasumi
So what kind of campaign is it? Ask Kasumin? The Kasumin Challenges?!
Kanata
What would the Kasumin Challenges involve?
Shioriko
How about a daily prep and review challenge? You barely managed a passing grade on our tests the other day, Kasumi…
Kasumi
Whoa, Shioko! That's a nope! I want a way more charming challenge than that!
Shizuku
How about Shizuku Osaka's Theatrical Challenges? I'll throw myself into any role you give me!
Mia
I want something different since Aqours have already done that challenge thing. Let's make it Mia Taylor's Big Baseball Breakdowns.
Lanzhu
I'd prefer it to be Living the Life of Lanzhu. Like, c'mon! Everyone wants to learn all about me anyway, right?!
Emma
Like explaining your unique perspective? Then I wanna tell everyone all about the tasty bakeries out there!
Karin
Then maybe I can teach special exercises to the folks who eat too much bread at the bakeries you introduce.
Ai
I wanna spread the word about running tracks with great vieeews!
Setsuna
If we're all introducing things, then I'll cover novels and anime that will get people fired up!
Kanata
And after they're all fired up, I'll help them to relax with Kanata's Snoozy Seminars.
Rina
I want to give Rina-chan Board Lectures.
Ayumu
G-Guys! Let's listen to the Prez and see what the campaign actually is.
Ai
Oh, totes! Sorry, my bad! I just got super carried away!
Player
*Laugh* Knowing how enthusiastic you guys are is really reassuring.
Karin
So what does the campaign involve?
Player
The name of the campaign they want you guys to do is “Obsessed with Your Obsession!”
Kanata
“Obsessed with Your Obsession”?
Setsuna
By obsession, do they mean…school idols?
Shizuku
Or do they mean things other than school idols that we're obsessed with?
Player
Yeah, that. I want you guys to make videos introducing what you're all currently obsessed with.
Emma
Anything but school idols, huh…
Player
They want the videos to be about something other than school idols.
Player
But I was actually thinking it'd be great if you guys could also re-explore how you all became infatuated with school idols.
Player
I realized something after watching μ's and Aqours make their promo videos. It was that they both went back to revisit their roots.
Setsuna
Their roots, you say?
Player
Like who they are, why they're a part of μ's or Aqours, and how everything started for them.
Player
They really looked back on their pasts and put a stamp on who they are. I think they put forward their most compelling charms in their promo videos.
Rina
I think I know what you're saying. Both μ's' and Aqours' promo videos felt more than just amazing.
Karin
You're right about that. I think they were filled with what they'd built up as their respective groups.
Shioriko
Their promotional videos were so inspiring because they showed us that.
Player
So why don't we try doing that as well?
Player
Let's show everyone your most compelling charm—the fact that you're all solo school idols who respect each other's individuality.
Player
So what do you guys say about revisiting the roots of your individual charms and strengths to reevaluate them?
Ayumu
You're thinking that doing so will help us with making our promo video, right?
Player
Yep. I got a bolt of inspiration when the school idol fansite came to consult with me about the campaign. It's perfect.
Ayumu
I think it sounds great. I want to have a good, long think about myself as well.
Kasumi
I'm all in!
Kanata
Sounds good to me.
Setsuna
Let's do this!
Mia
Not a bad idea coming from you, Little Baby.
Lanzhu
I'll look back on everything like I never have before! Know why? Because my journey started when I saw all you Nijigasaki girls at the School Idol Festival!
Player
Thanks, everyone. On the topic of making your promo video, there's one more thing I want to talk to you all about.
Emma
What is it?
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Back during the school auditions, we came to the conclusion that all the students of Nijigasaki would represent our school, right?
Player
So I figured it'd be nice if we could get everyone in the school involved and make a promo video that lets every single person shine.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
What do you guys think?
Shizuku
It sounds like an excellent idea. If we're going down that path, why don't we try asking if they'll all sing for us too?
Ai
Then hey, let's go all in and get them to dance as well!
Player
It'd be unreal if we could pull that off!
Ayumu
Yeah! Every single student of Nijigasaki will be the stars of our promo video!
Kanata
That sounds like fun!
Karin
I'm liking what I hear. You've got me on board.
Rina
Me too.
Player
Thanks! Let's make it a promo video that only Nijigasaki could ever make!
Everyone
Yeah!
