It's Aqours!

It looks like they're still rehearsing, so be quiet, okay?

O-Okay. The show hasn't even started yet, and my heart's already about to burst from excitement.

So all the Aqours girls are performing here, huh.

We're gonna see Aqours do their thing right here on this stage… Oh, it's so exciting!

I wonder what kind of performance they're gonna show us!

Aww, this is so cool. I hope we also get to perform at a place like this soon.

First, we've got to really nail down Akihabara as our home turf.

Okay, then we'll take Odaiba.

We've gotta focus more on school idol activities in our local area!

Huh? Did they stop rehearsing?

Do you think something happened?

Want me to go ask them?

Oh, it looks like they're about to resume!

Whoa! They're changing formation!

They are! How incredible!

I suppose they must've decided to do so in that short break they just took. If that is the case, that is truly astonishing…

This kind of thing is what makes Aqours so outstanding, isn't it?

They focus on all the little details to get the best out of their performances. They're so incredible!

[Fade in/out.]

Hey! Welcome, everyone!

Yeah, thanks for inviting us! What you did just now was incredible!

What we did just now?

What did we do?

You temporarily stopped the rehearsal, and after a quick little talk, you immediately changed formation, right?

Oh, thaaat.

I guess when you're onstage, the things that you didn't notice during practice become apparent to you, right?

Like how big the stage is, or the lighting.

Yeah, yeah! We can change things up based on stuff like that.

Indeed. All to allow Yohane to exhibit her maximum magical power.

Putting that aside, we also want to show you all the very best we have to offer.

We're gonna give you the best live show ever, so have fun!

I-I'm amazed… They're practically outshining the sun today…

This is the power of performing on your home turf.

Oh, yeah! Here, these are the pamphlets being handed out to everyone in the venue today! Go on, have some!

We made it to express our gratitude to everyone who came over to see us today.

Whoa… Woooooow! This is awesome! Can we really take something so wonderful?! For free?!

This is just lovely! I can't wait for everyone outside to see it too.

Huh? Outside?

Yes. There is already a large number of people gathered out there. The line for the costume exhibition area is super long too.

Whaaat?!

So many unexpected things just keep happening, zura!

That's the power of the Aqours promo video for you.

Wow… I never would have imagined!

Well, we actually kind of intended that video to be a challenge to μ's.

A challenge? Well, we're ready to take it on anytime!

*Giggle* I figured you'd say that, Nico!

We've long admired μ's and have always seen them as role models. They were our example of what we should continue to strive for.

But more than that, we don't want to just be mere admirers. We want to show them how much we've grown.

So we packed all of those feelings into our promo video!

You guys getting those feelings across to the whole country is what made today's live show possible.

Well, I can tell you've got grit, that's for sure. Now I'm even more excited for today! Show me just how powerful Aqours really is!

We can't wait to see just how strong your feelings are.

Yeah. It's quite the honor to have other groups who want to challenge us.

Just don't go thinking we'll lose to you guys, okay?!

Wow. You sure are a yappy one, Nico. I'll have to call you Little Puppy No. 2.

Hold on! Whaddya mean by puppy?! And why am I No. 2?! You've got a big mouth for a 14-year-old!

I was a college student in the States, you know. So I'm technically your senior.

Excuuuuuuse me?!

Honestly, Nico, let's just leave it at that for now.

Sorry about the fuss.

*Laugh* I think it helped us relax a bit, if anything.

We'll show you our true power! Be ready for it!
