Rin , Rin & Len (1)
Rin	Oh, Len! Hello!
Len	Oh, um. Hello...
Rin	Hm? Is something wrong? Why the funny face?
Rin	Don't say that, Rin! He's not making a funny face. He probably feels really uncomfortable right now.
Len	I'm okay, really. I need to apologize for not being more personable.
Len	But I'm not all that used to Rin greeting me by actually saying, “Hello.”
Rin	Oh, I get it. It's because she usually says, “Hey,” or, “Heya,” right?
Len	Ah, you've already met. Speaking of which, I met your version of me just earlier.
Rin	Really?! Oh, what did you think? Wasn't he like a dreamy prince?
Len	Haha. I know what you mean. He also gave me the impression that he's really knowledgeable.
Rin	Oh, what did you think of Len from our SEKAI? You know, my partner?
Len	Your partner? Oh, him! You two are DJs, right?
Len	He went on and on about having to practice on his own because KAITO wouldn't teach him anything.
Rin	Wait, that's what he told you? He came all this way just to gripe.
Len	Oh, did you meet Miku and the others from our SEKAI? You should talk to KAITO if you get a chance!
Rin	I wanna hear more about MEIKO and everyone else!
Rin	Me too! Me too! Oh, let's stop and sit down at that cafe so we can talk.
Len & Rin	“Okay!”

Miku , Miku , Miku , Miku & Miku (1)
Miku	I still can't believe how big this intersection is and how many people there are.
Miku	I know, right?! Do you think there are more people here compared to people visiting our stage?
Miku	Stage?! As in a show?!
Miku	Well, a concert specifically since we're idols. We dance, sing, interact with the audience and try to spread hope to everyone♪
Miku	Wow! That sounds amazing!
Miku	Guess what?! We also put on lots and lots of shows because we want everyone to smile!
Miku	What's a show...?
Miku	Are you talking about musicals and such?
Miku	Yup☆ Like a show with potato zombies that attack you or strange potions sold by this shady octopus that turns you into a robot!
Miku	Zombies? And a robot?
Miku	Th-That sounds like a lot...
Miku	I agree. Zombies sound a bit scary... But I'd like to see one of your shows.
Miku	Me too! I'd also love to hear more about what kinds of songs everyone sings in SEKAI♪
Miku	I'd like to as well. I've been meaning to ask more about that.
Miku	We don't really do shows or anything extravagant like that...
Miku	I usually just play cat's cradle while waiting for Mafuyu and the others to visit...
Miku	Wait, cat's cradle?!
Miku	That's so adorable! Can you show me what you can do♪
Miku	Huh? Uh, well... Okay...

KAITO , KAITO , KAITO & KAITO (1)
KAITO	It's so strange and wonderful to get to meet ourselves like this!
KAITO	Hehe. You seem to be enjoying yourself.
KAITO	I mean, we may never get a chance like this again. I can't help but feel excited.
KAITO	Hehe. In terms of excitement, I feel the same way.
KAITO	I might take this opportunity to browse through some of the shops to look for new stage outfits and accessories.
KAITO	Speaking of which, you're an idol, yes?
KAITO	Yes. I'm also sort of Miku and the others' manager.
KAITO	What? You're a manager too...?
KAITO	That's interesting... But they must keep you very busy.
KAITO	Hehe. Yes, it gets a little hectic sometimes, but they're always willing to lend a hand. Above all else, I really enjoy working behind the scenes.
KAITO	I understand completely. I have the honor of being the leader of our troupe, but I'm always able to persevere because I enjoy shows so much.
KAITO	You're the troupe leader...? That's impressive. I don't think I could handle that...
KAITO	Same. I like the idea of giving what you love your all, but I'm not sure about having to take on so much responsibility.
KAITO	In my case, it's sort of about doing whatever's the most fun. As a result, I'm allowed quite a few liberties.
KAITO	Wait, that works for you...? Aren't Miku or the ones who created your SEKAI bothered by that...?
KAITO	Haha. They're all good people. Unless something serious comes up, I'm usually out enjoying myself.
KAITO	That's incredible. It's like you're oozing with confidence!
KAITO	(I'm not sure I should take what he just said to heart... But what's the harm...?)

Miku , Miku & Luka (1)
Miku	Oh, an instrument shop... I might take a look since I'm here.
*Distant Guitar Strumming*
Miku	Hm? Is someone playing guitar...? Wait, they sound amazing. Are they really just trying something out...?!
Miku	And the way they're playing... I've heard this before somewhere. I might know who they are!
*Footsteps*
Miku	But who...? Huh?!
Miku	♪————! ♪————!!
*Guitar Playing*
Miku	Y-You can play guitar?!
Miku	Oh, you mean this? Pretty good for my first time, right?
Miku	Your first time? But it sounded like you've been practicing every day...!
Miku	I'm supposed to be the girls' senpai...
Miku	Hm? Oh, wait a second. You know I was playing air guitar just now, right?
Miku	Huh? Air guitar...?
Luka	Oh, Miku. You should've seen the look on your face. I was the one playing just now.
Miku	That's right. I was just giving this a try since I had the chance.
Miku	O-Oh, I see... What a relief...
Miku	Hehe. This version of me's so adorable.
Luka	She jumped to the wrong conclusion just now, but she's very collected when talking to the girls from our SEKAI. Like a reliable senpai.
Miku	So what I witnessed was pretty rare?
Miku	*Sob* I'd rather you forget...

MEIKO , KAITO & KAITO (1)
KAITO	Hm?
MEIKO & KAITO	“...”
KAITO	Hello there, you two. Having fun?
KAITO	Huh? Oh, um...
MEIKO	More or less...?
KAITO	More or less, huh? That's a bit of a shame considering you have a chance to see this big city. Why not spread your wings a little?
MEIKO	I'd rather not...
KAITO	Really? Are you sure? How about you? I mean, me.
KAITO	No, I'm...
KAITO	Oh, have you had a chance to see everyone's school yet? I just went and saw it for myself. I have to say, seeing it with my own two eyes was very interesting!
KAITO	Oh, okay... But... Our SEKAI is a school, so it doesn't seem very new or unusual to me...
KAITO	Really?! Our SEKAI is a street with this nice cafe!
KAITO	MEIKO runs it and she makes really great coffee!
KAITO	Oh, I also went around to some of the cafes here! I'm glad I went too since they were all so good! Oh, also...
MEIKO & KAITO	(He just keeps talking...) (What a windbag...)

Len , Len , Len & Len (1)
Len	Really? You're in a band? That's so cool!
Len	Thanks. But you said you perform in shows and stuff, right?
Len	Yeah. KAITO's been teaching me how to do fight scenes, so I really wanna show everyone what I've learned!
Len	Fight scenes...?
Len	As in staging fights in a way that looks real...?
Len	Yeah! Like when pirates or warriors have swordfights.
Len	Swords?! Do you use real ones?
Len	No, we don't. But it still hurts when you get hit.
Len	I-It hurts...?
Len	Oh, wait... They might not be real, but they're made in a way that looks real when you swing them around, right?
Len	That's right! So you need to be really careful! It's fun but kinda tricky since you gotta be in sync with your opponent, you know...?
Len	Fun but tricky, huh? Hehe. I think that's pretty cool.
Len	I want to keep doing everything I can to do better when I'm on stage too.
Len	Hmm... Maybe I spend more time practicing on my own instead of wasting my time looking for KAITO.
Len	Hm? Are you and your KAITO not getting along?
Len	Um, not exactly. He's supposed to be my teacher, but he isn't the most detail-oriented person, you know...?
Len	Your teacher...? He seems so different from the KAITO I know...
Len	Same here. I can't wait to hear more about what our respective SEKAI are like.

Rin , Rin , Rin , Rin & Rin (1)
Rin	No way! Your bunny-ear bow's so cute!
Rin	Hehe. This is actually a costume I wear a lot for shows!
Rin	Wait, you perform in shows?! Len and I are DJs!
Rin	That's so cool! I perform on stage as an idol with Miku and the others♪
Rin	Wow! All of that sounds amazing! But I'm in a band with Miku-P and everyone!
Rin	A band?! Cool! What about you?
Rin	Nothing... There's no need...
Rin	Really? Well, would you like to join me on stage?
Rin	Huh?
Rin	Yeah! After that, you can play in my band!
Rin	W-Wait...
Rin	You can try being a DJ too! You won't believe how much fun scratching is! Ch-Ch-Ch-Check it out!
Rin	Why won't you listen...?
Rin	Oh, I know! What if we took all of the things we all just said and put on a show together?
Rin & Rin	“Th-That sounds fun!”
Rin	Will you join us? We'll dance, sing and act! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!
Rin	*Sigh* I really don't like all this commotion...
Rin	But I'm not against singing... So maybe just a little bit...
Rin	Alright, that settles that! Let's start coming up with how we're gonna do this!
Rin & Rin & Rin	“Yeah!”

MEIKO , MEIKO , MEIKO , MEIKO & MEIKO (1)
MEIKO	Wait, you run your own cafe?!
MEIKO	Yes, I make coffee, sandwiches and such for everyone who visits. Oh, and chat with them as well.
MEIKO	That's incredible! Hmm... It's very cool how you're the boss! I wish I had a title like that!
MEIKO	I could be the... “Thespian”! How about the rest of you? What would you call yourselves?
MEIKO	I perform on stage as an idol with Miku and the others, so I could be... “SEKAI's idol”?
MEIKO	Yeah, that has a great ring to it! I'd be the... “Senpai of SEKAI's band”?
MEIKO	Yes, I see! What about you?
MEIKO	I don't need a title...
MEIKO	All I do is observe... I wait and see where everyone's feelings take them...
MEIKO	You only watch? Nothing else?
MEIKO	Yes.
MEIKO	I see. I suppose that's one way to interact with people.
MEIKO	Well, in my mind, that makes you... “The mother who's worried about her child after moving to the big city”!
MEIKO	...?
MEIKO	Um... You didn't leave much to the imagination...
MEIKO	Haha! She has a point. But what if we went with “big sister” instead?
MEIKO	Either way, it still doesn't actually describe who I am...

Rin , Len & Luka (1)
Len	Hey, it's idol Luka!
Rin	Oh, we wanna learn more about fan service. Can you teach us?
Luka	About fan service?
Rin	We do lots and lots of shows together, but we usually end them by just saying, “Thank you very much!”
Len	The crowd always cheers and applauds when we do! We even try waving back at them, but...
Luka	Ah, I see. You want to see if you can do anything else to interact with your audience, yes?
Rin & Len	“Yeah!”
Luka	Hehe. You can leave it to me. I'll show your some special moves that I'm sure you'll like♪
Rin	Really?! Woohoo!
Len	Thanks, Ms. Luka!
Luka	Oh, aren't you the cutest! Do I get to be your teacher now?
Rin	I think coach makes more sense. That might sound more professional, you know?
Luka	I can work with that♪ I am an idol after all.
Luka	Alright, you two, let's jump straight into our lesson♪
Rin & Len	“Okay!”

Rin , MEIKO & KAITO (1)
MEIKO	Oh? Hi there, Rin♪ Are you all alone?
Rin	Yes, why...?
Rin	Oh...
KAITO	Hm? Is something the matter...?
MEIKO	I know! It must've been a long time since you last saw KAITO!
KAITO	Huh? Oh, I see... Has your version of me not shown up yet?
Rin	I don't know. All I can say is that I haven't met him yet...
MEIKO	Well, I'm sure he'll show up soon. He might welcome you by saying, “Long time no see, Rin! Have you been a good girl while I was gone?”
Rin	I'd rather he didn't...
MEIKO	Haha! Okay, my impression of him could've been better!
KAITO	Um... I don't think that's what she was referring to...
KAITO	Pardon the banter. Our SEKAI is a very rambunctious place and this is just how we usually talk...
Rin	That's fine. I don't really mind...
KAITO	I see. Thank you.
*Rustle*
Rin	Are you patting my head...?
KAITO	Oh, I'm sorry! I'm just used to doing that to the others...
Rin	It's okay, but you did surprise me a little...
Rin	(It's not like I care all that much... But what is our version of KAITO like?)
Rin	(Okay, maybe I am a little curious...)

Len , MEIKO & KAITO (1)
MEIKO	Oh, Len, I didn't realize you were here too.
Len	Yup! Oh, that reminds me! I saw KAITO just now too! Hey, KAITO, over here!
MEIKO	Oh, KAITO's here too? Well, this sort of situation likely means he's...
KAITO	Um... H-Hello. It's nice to meet you...
MEIKO	What?! H-Hello...
MEIKO	L-Len, this isn't our KAITO!
Len	Yeah, I know. That's why I wanted to introduce you.
Len	You gotta hear what he just told me! On top of being an idol, he's Miku and the others' manager!
KAITO	Hehe. I enjoy working behind the scenes and seeing everyone smile because of my efforts.
MEIKO	O-Oh, I see...
Len	Don't you get it, MEIKO? We may be in a different SEKAI, but KAITO's a hard-working person deep down.
MEIKO	I understand. But I'm still having a hard time seeing our KAITO doing something “for everyone”...
MEIKO	No, I take that back! Our KAITO has plenty of good qualities! For example, he's knowledgeable about coffee and knows just the way he likes it!
Len	But didn't you get mad at him the other day for taking that ice cream out of your refrigerator again?
MEIKO	O-Oh, that was just... Hold on, Len, you're his student. Don't you have anything good to say about your teacher?
Len	Hmm... He's never on time and hardly ever keeps his promises... But he turns into this really cool person whenever he starts talking about music. Does that work?
MEIKO	Yes, that's perfect! See? Our KAITO's not so bad, right?
KAITO	(Hehe. They've probably been through a lot together, but “their version of me” must be very happy knowing that they care about him this much.)

Rin , Luka , Luka & MEIKO (1)
Rin	Hey, a double Luka! Everything okay, you two?
MEIKO	We'll be more than willing to help if something's wrong.
Luka	Rin! MEIKO! Yes! We're in veeery desperate need of your help right now.
Rin	Alright, what's up? Oh, are you lost? Do you need directions?
Luka	Correct! Well done♪ We were just talking to our other selves from the other SEKAI and decided to break into smaller groups!
Luka	We must've made a wrong turn somewhere along the way and ended up here♪
MEIKO	But you're both smiling... That's usually the last thing people do in your situation.
Luka	*Yawn* I'm so sleepy...
Rin	Huh?! Luka, you can't fall asleep here! Here, lay down on this sofa.
Luka	Okay... Oh, Rin, can I use your lap as a pillow?
Rin	My lap? Sure, be my guest♪
Luka	Thank you. Hehe. I knew I could count on you.
Rin	R-Really?!
Rin	(Does this mean she thinks I'm reliable?! This is so amazing!)
Luka	No fair, Luka. Rin, what about me?
Rin	*Gasp* It's okay, Luka! You can count on me for anything!
Luka & Luka	“Yay♪”
MEIKO	(Sleepy Luka's one thing, but this other Luka seems so determined about being pampered...)
MEIKO	(But I suppose it doesn't matter as long as Rin's happy with it and having fun!)

Luka , Luka , Luka , Luka & Luka (1)
Luka	*Yawn* This place is so lively... Zzz... Zzz...♪
Luka	Hehe. Sound asleep. She makes such cute faces too.
Luka	Doesn't that sort of mean you're calling yourself cute?
Luka	Oh? Is that such a bad thing? Aren't I just the cutest?
Luka	...
Luka	*Sigh* It's just not as fun when it's just me...
Luka	Hehe. But this one really likes to sleep, huh? She's not even bothered by me pinching her cheek. See...?
*Squish*
Luka	Hehe... Zzz... Zzz...
Luka	Cut it out. It's not nice to disturb someone when they're sleeping so peacefully.
Luka	Okay♪ Still, she seems so happy...
Luka	Yes, she does. Could it be that our conversation is acting as a sort of lullaby for her?
Luka	You may be right. Oh, does that mean she'll wake up if one of us cries?
Luka	Maybe! Why don't I give it a try?
Luka	Hehe. Interesting♪ I think I'll join you.
Luka	What did I say about disturbing her slumber?
Luka	Also, there are all these shops around here. Why don't we take a peek at one of them?
Luka	I'm up for that! Which should we go to first?
Luka	How about that crafts shop? Hehe. I have a feeling it's going to be full of fun and interesting objects.
Luka	Hehe. My thoughts exactly♪ Let's go, everyone!

Miku , Len & Luka (1)
Luka	Oh, it's the idol versions of Miku and Len. Hello...
Miku	Hi, Luka! What brings you here?
Luka	I saw this big screen showing videos of all these singers performing in shows and stopped to watch. We don't have anything like this in our SEKAI.
Len	Oh... Are you talking about shows and concerts?
Luka	No, we know about those. But we're not idols or anything, so these kinds of performances seem overly glamorous.
Luka	Also, we could conceivably practice dancing or singing whenever we're bored, but it seems like such a hassle...
Len	That may be so, but isn't that sort of a chance to make yourself heard?
Luka	Well, I won't deny that... However, I doubt it'll do much good in our SEKAI.
Miku	Oh, that's too bad... I was sure you'd look good dressed as an idol, Luka.
Luka	Is that so? What kind of outfit did you have in mind?
Len	Oh, if you're interested, we could take a look at one of those clothing stores. Wouldn't it be better to see for yourself?
Miku	Yeah, that sounds fun! What do you say, Luka?
Luka	Hmm... Maybe?
Luka	Hehe. I suppose it'd be rude of me to refuse after going through the trouble of inviting me.
Miku	Yay! Let's go, Len♪
Len	Okay. Follow me, you two.

Miku & Miku (1)
Miku	Aha! There you are, my timid and trepidatious Miku♪ Get ready to feel wonderhoooy!
Miku	Wah...!
Miku	Hehe. Were you surprised?
Miku	Yes, I was...
Miku	Also... Wonderhoy?
Miku	This girl who visits me in SEKAI taught me that. You can use it to say stuff like, “Hello,” or, “Congratulations!”
Miku	So let's try saying it togetheeer! Ready...? Wonderhoy!
Miku	Huh? Um...
Miku	It's easy! Just bring your arms in and spread them out!
Miku	Let's try it one more time! Ready...? Wonderhoy!
Miku	W-Wonderhoy...
Miku	Yeah♪ That was perfect!
Miku	Oh... Hehe. That's good to hear...
Miku	(I still don't really understand, but I feel all warm and fuzzy inside...)

Youthful/friends

Miya Girls Academy - Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (1)
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 - Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (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 - Ichika, Saki, Airi & Ena (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!”

YUME YUME JUMP!

Music Shop - Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Okay, this should be where we're supposed to meet... Oh...
Shizuku	You must be the last one. I'm Shizuku Hinomori of YUME YUME JUMP! It's nice to meet you.
Shizuku	And the adorable girl next to me is my younger sister...
Shiho	Hi, I'm Shiho Hinomori. I'm only going to be in YUME YUME JUMP! temporarily, but it's nice to meet you.
An	I'm also a temporary member. The name's An Shiraishi! Nice to meet you!
Kanade	U-Um... Right... My name is Kanade Yoisaki... I was supposed to be the songwriter...
Shizuku	But I already received word from our manager. You decided to go from composing songs to save people to going on stage to singing them yourself, yes?
Kanade	No, that's not what happened... They were so pushy and kept saying, “This is definitely the better option!”
Shiho	Oh, that happened to you too?
An	Same here. For me, it was, “Please, even if it's only temporary!”
Shiho	I really don't think I'm cut out to be an idol... But I thought it'd be a nice opportunity to work as a professional musician.
An	Totally. It's not every day that you get a chance like this, and life's about taking on these kinds of challenges, right?
An	Also, this may be just temporary, but try to relax since we're not gonna make you do anything without practicing it first!
Kanade	O-Okay...
Kanade	(I'm really only here because my manager asked me to join them...)
Kanade	(But they're so bright and upbeat about this... This might be the inspiration I need to compose my next song.)
Shizuku	Hehe. Let's start by doing everything we can in preparation for our release event♪
Shiho & An & Kanade	“Yeah!” “Okay.”

Main Street - Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (2)
Kanade	Uh oh...
An	Kanade, are you okay? You seem kinda queasy.
Kanade	I'm... Not okay... And all my muscles are aching...
Shiho	You were pretty much out of breath again during warm-ups today...
Shizuku	Yes, I noticed that as well. However, we've only been practicing for a week, so I'm sure you'll get used to it soon.
An	Yeah, I hope so... But at this rate, we're gonna have to call ourselves BORO BORO JUMP!
Kanade	*Sigh* You may be right...
An	I know. This older guy at my school's always making these weird machines and contraptions.
An	He made this power armor suit one time and had his friend wear it for him. You should've seen the way he danced and how high he could jump!
Shizuku	That sounds incredible! That would make your life so much easier, Kanade!
Shiho	You're serious? An idol wearing power armor?
Shiho	Also, doesn't taking shortcuts sort of defeat the purpose of inspiring hope in others?
An	Yeah, true... Alright, how about some running? My best friend runs every morning and night to build up her stamina.
Kanade	E-Every morning and night...? I don't like waking up early and I need to keep my evenings open to work on my music...
An	In that case, I'll come over to wake you up, and then we can even try running together. What do you say?
Shiho	I'd be willing to join too. I don't want to see just one of us having to work so hard.
Shizuku	Yes, I agree! Let's give it a try together, Kanade!
Shizuku	And strive towards being able to sing your song on stage as a group!
Kanade	I mean... Well...
Kanade	(Th-They're too nice. I can't say no...)

Music Shop - Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (3)
An	This is it! Our release event!
Shiho	Yeah. We've put in the work, so we just need to sing like we mean it during the show.
Shizuku	Yes, exactly! I know it wasn't easy getting used to everything, Kanade, but I'm glad you persevered.
Kanade	To be fair, I'm still limited to dancing to just one song... And I was only able to get this far because you were all there to help me along the way.
Kanade	My song... No, I hope our song is able to reach our audience's hearts.
Shizuku	Don't worry. I'm sure it will.
Shizuku	Also, about our group name, YUME YUME JUMP! Has our manager told you why we're called that?
An	Why?
Shizuku	Hehe. It has to do with you and An having such big dreams, Shii, and the archaic definition of “yume yume” in Japanese.
Shiho	“Yume yume”...? Doesn't that mean “to never do anything or something?
Shizuku	Yes. It's normally used in a negative light, but it's actually written by combining the characters from “hard work” and “effort”...
Shizuku	But “yume” also means “dream”, so YUME YUME JUMP! symbolizes everyone's expectations of us and how “we're working hard to make our dreams come true”.
An	Working hard to make our dreams come true, huh...?
Shizuku	Hehe. I can't honestly see myself being an idol capable of accomplishing incredible feats.
Shizuku	But I believe we'll be able to touch everyone's hearts and become wonderful idols as long as we work together.
Kanade	Yes, I'd like that as well...
Shizuku	Oh, look at the time... Let's go show our audience what we're all about.
An & Shiho & Kanade	“Yeah!”

FANTASISTA SQUAD

Kamiyama HS - Akito, Toya, Tsukasa & Rui (1)
Tsukasa	I now declare this meeting of the backstreet entertainers, the Pegasus Dogs, open!
Tsukasa	I, Tsukasa Tenma, shall be your valiant leader, Pegasus Tenma!
*Boom-boom*
Akito	Can't you come up with a better name for us and yourself for that matter...? I mean, you're using “Pegasus” for both of them.
Rui	It's just his way of coming up with a stage name for himself. I'm Rui Kamishiro, so mine would be... God Generation Kamishiro?
Toya	I see. That would make me... Blue Willow Aoyagi?
Akito	Quit copying him! Ugh... I tagged along after hearing that these two were putting a performance group together, but this...
Tsukasa	Akito, your last name is Shinonome so...
Rui	Dawn? No, “daybreak”...!
Tsukasa	Ah, Daybreak Shinonome! An excellent name!
Akito	How? Also, Toya and I haven't actually agreed to anything yet...
Toya	However, they've put on quite a few shows themselves, so this seems like a wonderful learning opportunity, no?
Akito	Yeah, I get what you're saying... But we don't necessarily have to learn from these two.
Rui	There may actually be some things that only we can teach you since I, at least, am hoping to try things that no one else has done before.
Tsukasa	That's just his way of saying he's going to use me alone as his guinea pig. With that in mind, what do you say?
Akito	Alright, if you say so... But we're calling ourselves something other than the “Pegasus Dogs”.
Toya	I agree. As it stands, Kamishiro seems like a complete outsider. Shouldn't we pick something that includes some part of all of us?
Tsukasa	Yes, I see. Let's start by coming up with a new team name!
Akito	(*Sigh* Yeah, for our own sake, something decent...)

Main Street - Akito, Toya, Tsukasa & Rui (2)
Tsukasa	This will be our first rehearsal as FANTASISTA SQUAD, the group formerly known as the Pegasus Dogs!
Rui	I'm glad we found a team name that we could all agree on. Personally, I think “FANTASISTA” is a wonderful choice.
Akito	That's good to hear. But it's really just a word that's used a lot in soccer.
Toya	That refers to someone with high technical skills, including passing, dribbling, shooting and even the creativity to come up with plays that make the crowd go wild, yes?
Akito	Yeah. In simpler terms, a fantasista's someone who's universally called a great player.
Rui	Hehe. I've even seen a definition that states, “Actors and street performers who excel at improvisation and saying witty lines.”
Tsukasa	As such, the word “fantasista” is perfect for backstreet entertainers such as ourselves, as well as our team name.
Tsukasa	So, let's do our best to have our name heard throughout backstreets the world over!
Akito	Huh? Backstreets the world over...?
Rui	Alright, why don't we get started with our rehearsal?
Tsukasa	Yes. We're going to give our audience all the surprises and excitement they can handle!
Akito & Toya	“Yeah.” “Yes.”

Kamiyama HS - Akito, Toya, Tsukasa & Rui (3)
Rui	Tsukasa! You're the Pegasus who soars in the skies above, aren't you?! Use your whole body! Dance like you're in control of the wind!
Tsukasa	Gwaaahhh!
Akito	They're at it again...
Toya	Yes, I very much admire how Tsukasa's so determined to surpass his own limits.
Toya	Not only that, Kamishiro's directing style is so unique. It's been great learning all these new things from him.
Akito	Unique? Normally, people aren't allowed to do some of this stuff...
Akito	But I get that his ideas are pretty incredible...
Akito	He seems to know what it's like to sing at a live house, how to see things from the crowd's perspective and what kind of lighting would be best.
Toya	Yes. Kamishiro's primary concern appears to be putting on the best performance possible.
Akito	Yeah...
Rui	Ah, I didn't realize you were both already here. It's time for you two to also become Pegasuses!
Akito	Us? Pegasuses...?
Toya	I'm not exactly a great dancer or anything. Do you think I'll be able to dance like Tsukasa?
Tsukasa	Huff... Huff... The path of the Pegasus is both long and treacherous, Toya. Are you prepared for such an ordeal?
Toya	Yes, of course!
Rui	Then, let's get started. We'll begin with the opening scene! Aoyagi, imagine a blue willow wafting gracefully in the breeze!
Toya	Okay, I'll try my best!
Rui	Shinonome, you are trying to make the sun rise above the horizon, so dance like you're singing sonorously!
Akito	What? D-Dance like I'm singing?!
Rui	Now, begin!
Akito	Wait, I still don't get what I'm doing!!

Happiness Rangers Sunny Sunny☆Wonder

Theme Park - Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	My name is Mafuyu Asahina, a second-year. It's nice to meet you.
Mafuyu	I've been asked as the most senior student here to be the leader of this outreach team. I'm looking forward to working with all of you.
Haruka & Kohane	“Nice to meet you too.”
Emu	N-Nice to meet you...!
Haruka	I'm Haruka Kiritani, a first-year. I don't have much acting experience, but I chose this team because I liked the theme so much. “To make everyone smile.”
Kohane	U-Um... I'm Kohane Azusawa, also a first-year. I'm a big fan of PXL and decided to try my hand at performing in a show after Emu invited me.
Emu	I-I'm Emu Otori, first-year...! I'm looking forward to working with all of you...!
Haruka	Otori, you've been on edge all day...
Mafuyu	Is it because a second-year like me is here? Don't worry, we're all here to make this show a success.
Emu	R-Right...!
Mafuyu	The goal of this outreach activity involves making children smile, so we'll be borrowing the Wonder Stage.
Kohane	I've only ever been a spectator. Am I going to be okay up there?
Haruka	I'm sure you will, Kohane. I don't have much acting experience either, so let's just try to do our best, okay?
*Chimes*
Kohane	H-Haruka...! You're blinding me with your aura...!
Mafuyu	Wow... So this is what a real idol's smile is like.
Kohane	Thanks, Haruka...! I promise to do my best with everyone.
Mafuyu	Hehe. Sounds like we're all set to go. Let's start by thinking about what kind of show we'll be doing.
Haruka & Kohane & Emu	“Okay!”

Theme Park - Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (2)
Emu	“I'm Sunny Sunny Happy Emu! Here to put smiles on your faces today!”
Mafuyu	“I'm Goodness Smile Mafuyu! The unshakable senior who's always sparkling!”
Haruka	“I'm Stoic Challenger Haruka! You can't become an idol in just a day!”
Kohane	“I'm Makeover Beast Kohane! Behold my indomitable hammie spirit!”
Emu	“And the four of us together are...!!”
Haruka & Kohane & Emu & Mafuyu	“The Happiness Rangers Sunny Sunny☆Wonder!”
*Explosion*
Mafuyu	Hehe. I thought that went pretty well.
Kohane	I'm still a little embarrassed about saying that, but I think I'm starting to get used to it...
Haruka	Hehe. I think it was definitely worth coming up with our self-intro lines together.
Mafuyu	I agree. By the way, Otori, you came up with “unshakable” for me. Can you tell me where you got your idea?
Emu	Huh?! Um...
Emu	(I can't say that it's because I want her to smile but haven't been able to figure out how...)
Kohane	Probably because you're our leader and always know how to pull us in the right direction.
Kohane	I think that's what makes you so “unshakable”...
Emu	Y-Yeah, that's it! Good job, Kohane! I'm really impressed!
Mafuyu	I see. Then, I'm glad I'm doing a satisfactory job so far as your leader.
Emu	(Eep! Sh-She really is unshakable...!)

Theme Park - Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (3)
Kohane	Speaking of which, we're all supposed to be heroes, right...? Are we going to fight someone?
Haruka	Oh, that's a good question. Our story won't be very heroic if we don't have a bad guy or two in it.
Mafuyu	Then, why don't I take on two roles? For instance...
Mafuyu	“I'm Darkness Smile Mafuyu. Hello from the depths of despair.”
Mafuyu	How does that sound...?
Emu	Eep...!
Haruka	Th-That felt so real... I couldn't help but get drawn in.
Kohane	Me too...! You're so good at acting, Asahina!
Mafuyu	Hehe. I think I'm a little excited about playing the antagonist since I hardly ever get that chance.
Mafuyu	So, I'll play two roles with Darkness Smile being the one who we have to defeat...
Emu	No, wait...!
Emu	U-Um...! This show's about making everyone smile, which should also include Darkness Smile!
Haruka	In that case, instead of the antagonist... What if she works as a spy under the guise of Goodness Smile?
Kohane	Oh, I like that! She could be our enemy at first, but we find a way to become friends with Darkness Smile. What if we did that?
Mafuyu	Yes, that sounds good. What do the rest of you think?
Emu	Yes, I like that idea too!
Kohane	Oh, I'm glad you like my idea so much, but why don't we take this opportunity to brainstorm a little more?
Haruka	Yes, I'd like that as well.
Emu	That's a great idea! I can't wait to see what you two come up with, Kohane, Haruka!
Mafuyu	Yes, we'll be counting on you both.
Kohane	Thank you very much! We promise to make it a good one!

Hobbyists on Days Off

Scramble Crossing - Honami, Minori, Nene & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Welcome to the first offline meeting of “Hobbyists on Days Off”, the chat group that's all about relaxing while discussing our hobbies!
Mizuki	I know we've already been talking a bunch online, but let's go around and introduce ourselves again!
Mizuki	The founder of this group is yours truly, Mizuki Akiyama. I'm a first-year at Kamiyama High and I like making videos and collages. I also like cute clothes, read a lot of manga and watch a ton of anime.
Minori	You really have an eye for cute clothes, Mizuki. All the brands you've told me about are so cute.
Mizuki	Hehe. Thanks! Alright, Nene, you're next.
Nene	Um... I'm Nene Kusanagi, also a first-year at Kamiyama High. I like playing competitive games, watching movies and going out to see musicals...
Honami	Oh, that movie you recommended to me the other day was so good. I laughed so much that my cheeks were hurting.
Nene	Y-You watched it...?! I'm glad you liked it...
Minori	I'll go next. I'm Minori Hanasato, a first-year at Miya Girls.
Minori	My hobbies include copying idols' dance routines and writing in my diary. Also, I'm a huge fan of Haruka Kiritani who was formerly in ASRUN!
Mizuki	I listened to that ASRUN album you told me about! It was unbelievably good!
Minori	Oh, thank you so much! Let's talk more when we get to the diner!
Honami	That just leaves me. My name is Honami Mochizuki, also a first-year at Miya Girls.
Honami	My hobbies include taking my dog, Shibao, out for walks and tending to my garden at home. My favorite food is apple pie.
Nene	Speaking of which, a new apple pie shop opened up just around the corner.
Honami	Really?! Would it be alright if we made a quick stop on our way back?
Minori	Yeah, let's go! And let's make sure to not eat too much at the diner!
Mizuki	Nah, I think we all have plenty of room to spare for this♪ Right, Honami?
Honami	Yes!
Mizuki	(Looks like they're all having fun. I'm glad I suggested we meet in real life like this♪ That means I should have as much fun as I can today too!)

Shopping Mall - Honami, Minori, Nene & Mizuki (2)
Minori	Yay! It's our second offline meeting!
Nene	I mean, we left a lot on the table last time.
Mizuki	Yeah! We all love our hobbies so much that it's fun just listening to all of you talk!
Honami	Hehe. Me too.
Honami	Honestly, I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to keep a conversation going. It's not like everyone's willing to take an interest in what I like to do.
Mizuki	No, don't say that! We all have hobbies and reasons behind why we picked them up. Isn't hearing those reasons sort of the best part of all this?
Minori	Yeah! And things become even more fun when you discover that you have something in common with that person!
Nene	Now that you mention it, we ended up talking a lot about your dog last time, Hanasato.
Honami	Samo, right? She and I just took Shibao and Samo out on a walk together yesterday!
Mizuki	Hey, good for you two! It's like this group's giving you more chances to meet in real life! Nice♪
Mizuki	I'm so glad I decided to make this group!
Mizuki	I've been losing touch with so many friends and haven't been able to talk about this kind of stuff because I hardly ever go to school these days.
Nene	Oh, I know how you feel... I'm not great at talking to people, so discovering a way to chat without being face-to-face was really nice.
Nene	At the same time, meeting up like this is kinda nice too... Especially since we finally all get to see what we're like.
Honami	I agree. I hope we get more chances to hold meetings offline like this.
Minori	Yeah, I'd like that too! We could go to an amusement park or an aquarium together sometime!
Mizuki	Totally♪ Alright, why don't we start discussing where we want to go next!
Honami & Minori & Nene	“Yeah!”

Theme Park - Honami, Minori, Nene & Mizuki (3)
Mizuki	How fun was that hero show?! I can't believe they were doing it as a part of their school's outreach program!
Mizuki	I watch a lot of shows and movies like that, so they had me totally hooked after they introduced themselves!
Honami	Hehe. It was really well thought out too. The story was so dramatic and compelling.
Mizuki	Oh, like how Goodness Smile was really a spy! I'm so glad she decided to rejoin the group and become friends with everyone again!
Nene	They sang really well too. Naturally, Haruka Kiritani did great since she used to be an idol, but I was amazed by how good that other girl was.
Honami	Oh, you mean Makeover Beast Kohane? She's actually Minori's classmate and...
Minori	*Starstruck*
Nene	Huh?! Hanasato, can you hear me?! Snap out of it!
Mizuki	Oh, it's probably because she's such a big Haruka Kiritani fan! Seeing her in person might've been too much to handle!
Honami	Wh-What do we do?! Please, Minori, wake up!
Minori	Huh?! A-Am I back in PXL? I could've sworn I was walking through a beautiful field of flowers just now...
Mizuki	Phew... Thank goodness you're back...
Nene	Hey, why don't we stop by somewhere for a quick break? We can sit and talk more about the show we just saw.
Minori	I'd like that too. I'm not sure I'm fully back down on Earth yet.
Mizuki	Haha. To be fair, you did sort of just take the full might of your hero's aura.
Honami	Let's see... Oh, how about Phenny's Restaurant over there? I remember hearing that it's supposed to be wall-to-wall Phenny decorations inside.
Mizuki	Oh, I was just thinking that we should check it out too! Alright, everyone, let's go♪
