 Airi |
Alright, let's kick off our first meeting as “Youthful/friends”, the band that's all about enjoying our adolescence! Let's start with you, Saki, since this was your idea! |
 Saki |
Okay! I'm Saki Tenma, a first-year at Miya Girls! I'll be on the synthesizer and I am really glad to be here! I'm hoping that we get to have a lot of fun while showing our youthfulness together! |
 Ichika |
Um... My name is Ichika Hoshino. Saki and I have been friends since we were little, and I'm also a first-year at Miya Girls. I'll be playing guitar and can play a few Miku songs. I'm looking forward to working with you. |
| Airi |
I'm Airi Momoi, a second-year at Miya Girls. I'll be playing the bass, and I'm sure you already know but I'm also an idol. |
| Airi |
However, I'm really glad you asked me to be here since I've been wondering what it's like to be in a band. |
| Saki |
Hehe. You always found a way to put a smile on my face when I was in the hospital, so I've been meaning to ask you if I ever got the chance. |
 Ena |
That just leaves me. My name's Ena Shinonome. I'm a second-year at Kamiyama High and attend night school there. |
| Ena |
Airi and I have known each other since junior high, and I ended up here after she asked me to join. I'm still working on my drumming, but I'm also looking forward to this opportunity... |
| Ichika |
Thank you, Shinonome. |
| Ena |
Hey, we're in a band now. Why don't we just call each other by our first names? |
| Ichika |
I'd like that, Ena! |
| Ena |
(I feel so out of place hanging out with younger girls from that school for rich kids...) |
| Airi |
Now that we're done introducing ourselves, let's get down to wholeheartedly enjoying our adolescence! |
| Saki |
Yeah♪ |
| Theme Park (2) | |
|---|---|
| Saki |
Yay! It's been too long since our last PXL visit! Look, Ichi, they even have stand-in boards of Phenny! Let's take a picture together! |
| Ichika |
S-Saki, wait! You'll get lost if you run off like that! |
| Ena |
Are those two always this peppy? |
| Airi |
Oh? Is there something I can help you with, Grandma? |
| Ena |
Just who are you calling “Grandma”...? I was just remembering what it's like to be someone's senior. I mean, I hardly talk to any younger kids during night school. |
| Airi |
Now I understand. |
| Ichika |
Ena, Airi. That stand-in over there has enough room for four people. Would you mind if we took a photo together? |
| Ena |
Huh...? |
| Ena |
He's called... Phenny, right? Wait, that means their beaks are gonna be replaced by our faces. Won't that look kinda freaky or surreal? |
| Airi |
You say that, but you're just shy about having your picture taken, right? |
| Ena |
No, that's not it at all... |
| Airi |
We're here to enjoy our youth. I say have fun and worry about any regrets later♪ |
| Airi |
I mean, just look at Ichika and Saki. They're both glowing with anticipation. |
| Saki & Ichika |
(Do you think she'll take this picture with us?) |
| Ena |
Oh, you're right... Hehe. I guess I don't really have a choice. |
| Ena |
But since we're doing this, first, we need to find the right angle. Airi, mind going ahead without me? |
| Airi |
Okay! Make it a good one for us, alright? |
| Ena |
Yeah, you got it! |
| Scramble Crossing (3) | |
|---|---|
| Saki |
Whew... Another exhausting day... |
| Ena |
I know, right...? Honestly, Airi, you're a total tyrant during practice... |
| Airi |
Of course I am. We're here to make the most of our adolescence, so we gotta give everything we do 100%. |
| Ichika |
I agree. Why don't we choose a reward for when we “complete all of our practice goals”? |
| Ena |
Yeah, I like that. Is there anything you girls want to do? |
| Ichika |
Yes! I'd like for us to go see a Miku concert together! |
| Airi |
Yeah, a concert sounds great! This other idol I know just formed a new group, so it'd be great to go see their release event! |
| Saki |
I wanna go camping in the mountains or go down to the beach since it's finally starting to warm back up. How about you, Ena? |
| Ena |
Hmm... Nothing immediately comes to mind... |
| Ena |
My little brother's been having fun with some new hobbies lately, so I've been thinking about raining on his parade a little. |
| Airi |
Rain on his parade...? Never a dull moment for Akito, huh? |
| Airi |
Anyway, I'm sure we all have a big list of things we want to do! |
| Saki |
Yeah! I wanna do all of them while I'm still in high school♪ |
| Ichika |
All might be a bit much... |
| Ena |
No, she's right. This is a case of whoever has the most fun wins. |
| Airi |
Exactly! So let's keep making the most of the time we have! |
| Airi |
Youthful/friends, are you with me?! |
| Saki & Ichika & Ena |
“Yeah!” |
Trivia[]
- While the more common reading of 青春 is "seishun" (meaning "youth"), in this case it's read as "aoharu" (blue spring) as a reference to the unit's song (Aoku Kakero!, "Run Into the Blue!").
