Ch. 53 Ep. 1: Heart Communication
You are just in the middle of writing a song for the festival, when a group call comes through from the members.
Ayumu
Here, drink this and take a break.
Player
Thanks.
Ayumu
Is the songwriting going well?
Player
Yeah, it feels like it's almost done.
Ayumu
I wonder what kind of song it will be. I can't wait.
Player
Would you like to hear it?
Ayumu
I would, but…
Ayumu
Huh? There's a group call coming through.
Player
So there is. Hello?
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
Hey there!
Player
Ai, you're in a good mood.
Ai
Well, sure, I mean, the festival's tomorrow! Course I'm in a good mood! You guys must all be excited too, right?
Setsuna
Yeah! Let's make tomorrow a day to remember!
Lanzhu
Our live show will hype everyone up!
Mia
How's the songwriting going, Little Baby?
Player
Ah, yeah. I think I can have it ready by tomorrow morning.
Kasumi
Really?! Well then, we'll just keep on chatting with each other while we wait!
Rina
Yeah, I want to hear it as soon as it's done.
Player
*Laugh* I appreciate the thought, but you should get some sleep for tomorrow. I'll make sure you all get to hear it when you wake up tomorrow.
Shizuku
I might be too excited to sleep.
Karin
Well I want to be in perfect condition with perfect skin for tomorrow, so I'm going to go to sleep.
Kasumi
Oh, then I will too!
Mia
I'm going to conserve my energy too. R3BIRTH's stage show isn't something you can do on half a night's sleep.
Shioriko
Good idea. I think I will just review our live show and go to sleep as well.
Kanata
I'm kind of worried I might oversleep.
Ai
Shall I give you a wake-up call then?
Emma
I'll come and wake you up too, Karin.
Karin
Wh-Why are you singling me out?!
Karin
I can wake up tomorrow by myself too… Probably.
Player
Everyone, good luck for tomorrow!
Player
Also… Thank you all for agreeing with my idea and making it a reality.
Player
You guys are always so—
Kanata
Yeah, yeah. None of that. We're all friends, after all.
Rina
Whatever you want to do, we want to do as well.
Ayumu
Yeah. So you don't need to thank anyone.
Kasumi
That's right. If anyone should be thanking anyone, it's us who should be thanking you!
Kasumi
It's all thanks to you that we have a School Idol Club at all.
Shizuku
That's true… And it's thanks to the hard work of you and Kasumi that the School Idol Club keeps on going too.
Setsuna
You're the savior of the School Idol Club.
Player
No, I haven't done anything…
Kasumi
That's not true at all! It's absolutely the truth that you and Kasumin rebuilt the School Idol Club!
Shioriko
And it's thanks to you that I can be a school idol too.
Shioriko
And that my sister and me can see eye to eye…
Lanzhu
I can admit how awesome you are too.
Lanzhu
There would be no School Idol Festival without you.
Lanzhu
And I wouldn't be here either. I'd hate to even imagine that. After all, if I'd never come here, I'd never have met all of you.
Mia
And if I hadn't met you, I'd have already returned to the States. And I never would have been able to sing under the spotlight.
Mia
It's all because of you that I learned to love singing again, Little Baby.
Emma
Understand? We want to thank you just as much as you want to thank us.
Setsuna
I think it's wonderful for everyone to feel mutually grateful to each other like this.
Setsuna
But you can't express everything you want with words alone. And I'm sure you feel the same way too.
Setsuna
So you can show us your thanks through your songwriting, and we'll show you ours through our performance!
Setsuna
I can't wait to see your new song!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
*Yawn* The sun's coming up…
Player
It's finally the big day…
Player
Today we start a festival that will continue into the future of Odaiba…
[Fade in/out.]
Player
I just know it's going to be the greatest!
