Kiritani Haruka/Area Conversation

Miku & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Miku, where do you and the others get your motivation for being idols?
Miku	Our motivation? Well, I suppose it's all the opportunities we get to sing. Rin and I love singing more than anything!
Miku	What about you?
Haruka	Me? I think mine comes from the feelings Minori helped me recover.
Miku	Hehe. That's a wonderful source of strength.

Miku & Haruka (2)
Haruka	I always feel so nervous whenever I visit this place.
Miku	Like in a good way? Or...
Haruka	The first time I was here, it wasn't a good kind of nervous. But now...
Haruka	Thanks to everyone's help, it's more of an excited nervousness. I actually want to get back up on stage.
Miku	I see! Hehe. It makes me happy to see you smiling again.
Haruka	I have you, Minori, and the others to thank for that. Now it's my turn to put a smile on all of your faces.

Rin & Haruka (1)
Rin	Hrng...
Haruka	What's the matter, Rin?
Rin	I was just thinking how great your dancing is. Your movements remind me of Miku. They're so precise and cute that I want to steal them!
Haruka	Hehe. Would you like me to do that one again?
Rin	Really?! Yeah! I'd love that♪

Rin & Haruka (2)
Rin	Haruka, is it true that you haven't taken a single break from practice since you decided to become an idol?
Haruka	Yes. I sometimes reduce the amount of work when I'm not feeling well, but I've never skipped a day.
Rin	Wow! What's the trick to keeping it up for so long?
Haruka	Well, I suppose it's important to make sure you don't try to do everything straight away.
Haruka	I also kept my goals short when I was first starting out. I would set them for three days in a row or maybe a week at a time.
Haruka	The feeling of accomplishing a goal you set for yourself gives you the motivation to work toward the next one.
Rin	It sounds so simple when you say it, but it's still amazing that you've kept it up for so long.

Luka & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Hm... Eating contest, games, fishing, what else...
Luka	That sounds very interesting. Are these are all subjects for your next livestream?
Haruka	Yeah, they're all just in the planning phase, though. Hopefully, we can turn them into interesting streams with a few surprises.
Luka	I see... Oh! How about making everyone wear a mascot costume♪
Haruka	Huh? An idol group that doesn't show their faces? I mean, it definitely would be surprising, yes...
Haruka	Oh, maybe we can turn it into a game by asking viewers to watch the video while guessing who is in which costume.
Luka	That does sound like fun! I can't wait to see how you'll implement it, Haruka♪

Luka & Haruka (2)
Haruka	Luka...
Luka	Yes, Haruka♪
Haruka	Oh, uh... You asked everyone else to call you by just your name, so I thought I should do the same...
Haruka	Actually, I take that back. I feel a little embarrassed to.
Luka	That's a shame. I'd like it if you could♪ You made such a cute face just now.
Haruka	Oh, Luka...

Luka & Haruka (3)
Luka	Oh, Haruka, listen. Shizuku gave me this little turtle recently♪
Luka	It's covered in spikes and so squishy... And it feels really nice when you step on it. Can you guess my turtle's true identity?
Haruka	A turtle that's covered in spikes...? And you can step on it...?
Haruka	I think I figured it out, Luka. Are you talking about an inflatable balance pad?
Luka	Correct! I'm amazed that my description provided you with enough information.
Luka	(I mean, I was so startled when Shizuku gave me the same explanation, including the part about stepping on this turtle.)
Luka	And here's the turtle Shizuku gave me.
Haruka	Oh. Hehe. It's green... It really does look like a turtle.
Luka	Yes, it does. I don't feel too great about stepping on it, but I'd like put my gift to good use.

MEIKO & Haruka (1)
MEIKO mmj	Haruka, how have things been going for you lately?
Haruka	Good. I can't complain.
MEIKO mmj	Well, good for you♪ By the way, have you been taking breaks periodically like you promised?
Haruka	Yes, I am now that I'm actually committing time specifically for that. I'd hate to make the others worry about me again.
MEIKO mmj	Great. I'm glad you are!
MEIKO mmj	(Hehe. It really is impressive how she can be so flexible with others!)

MEIKO & Haruka (2)
Haruka	MEIKO, I'd like to do something for you as thanks for giving me the advice I needed to hear. Is there anything you want or would like me to do?
MEIKO	Oh, you don't have to. But since you're offering... Would you mind if I made a small request?
Haruka	What is it?
MEIKO	So, Miku, the others and I have been thinking about doing some jump rope training. Unfortunately, we don't have enough jump ropes to go around...
Haruka	I see... Then, I'll bring over however many you all need.
MEIKO	Thank you so much, Haruka! Oh, would you and the girls like to join us?
Haruka	May we? I'd sure like to, so let me ask Minori and the others about this.

Minori & Haruka (1)
Minori	Haruka, you decided you wanted to be an idol when you were in third grade, right?
Haruka	Yeah. There was an idol I really looked up to back then.
Minori	Hehe. I guess we both got started for the same reason.
Minori	My goal was always to become as great of an idol as you.
Haruka	Hehe. Maybe we're even more alike than I thought.

Minori & Haruka (2)
Haruka	Oh, that stage has a walkway that extends into the crowd. It reminds me of a show I did.
Minori	Really? What tour was that from? I have all your DVDs, so I'm sure I've seen it before...
Minori	Oh! That's the one from your 2nd anniversary show! There were a bunch of walkways that all met up in the middle!
Haruka	Hehe. That's right.
Haruka	(She really has been cheering me on this whole time. Thank you, Minori.)

Haruka & Airi (1)
Haruka	I always learn something new watching Miku and Rin perform.
Airi	Same. Every single song they do is choreographed so well. They're really good at engaging the crowd, too.
Haruka	Even watching from the side like we do, you can still feel the connection between singer and crowd.
Airi	Yeah, it's really amazing. But we can do that, too!
Haruka	The four of us will put on shows like this for sure.

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Haruka, your group always planned their own performances, didn't they?
Haruka	Yes. We would decide on a theme for each tour, then plan out the set lists and the choreography from there.
Airi	I'm jealous. They moved me over to doing mostly TV before I ever got the chance to do that. But—
Haruka	Now you'll have the chance. The four of us can do it together.
Airi	H-Hey! I know! I was just going to say that!

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	No matter what stage you perform on, you never stop getting nervous, do you?
Haruka	I remember my legs shaking so badly back when I'd just debuted. I kept making mistakes and causing problems for the other members.
Shizuku	Is that so? I take it you started practicing even harder because of it?
Haruka	I'm sure you did as well, right? I think most idols would.
Shizuku	Yeah. I doubt there are any out there who don't work hard. That's just how things are for us.

Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	I get really restless whenever I'm here.
Haruka	Restless?
Shizuku	Yeah, it's like I get excited. I just want to get up on stage and sing.
Haruka	I know how you feel. Whenever I'm here, I think of that show Miku and Rin put on for me.
Shizuku	Yeah, it was wonderful seeing how much fun everyone in the audience was having. It really was a splendid show.

Miku, Rin & Haruka (1)
Rin	I know Minori really looks up to you as an idol, Haruka, but is there anyone you look up to? What are they like?
Haruka	A long time ago, I was really bad at smiling, but there was one idol who taught me how.
Rin	Really?! I can't imagine you not being able to smile!
Miku	Hehe. That's because our Haruka is so good at giving people hope and making them smile.
Miku	I bet whoever that person is would be thrilled to know you looked up to them so much.
Haruka	You think so? I hope you're right.

Miku, Rin & Haruka (2)
Rin	Haruka, how are you not tired after dancing for so long?
Haruka	I think it's because of all the training I did playing basketball in elementary and junior high.
Miku	Oh, you played basketball?
Miku	I bet that means you're really good at sudden explosive movements, too.
Rin	Yeah, Haruka's agility is amazing. But she's also really precise at the same time.
Rin	I wonder if Miku and I should start playing basketball too.
Haruka	Hehe. I can teach you if you'd like.
Miku	Really? In that case, we'll give it some serious thought.

Miku, Rin & Haruka (3)
Rin	Hey, Haruka! Is there anything you always made sure to eat before a big show?
Haruka	Well... It wasn't always, but fried chicken was something I liked to eat since we usually had some in the green room.
Miku	That sounds pretty filling. Is that so you wouldn't feel hungry during the actual show?
Haruka	There's that. But I remember my manager saying, “The grease helps keep your throat from drying out,” and how, “The vitamin A in chicken meat is good for your mucous membrane.”
Haruka	As a result, it became a sort of ritual for some of us after we came to believe that eating fried chicken would ensure a show's success.
Miku	I didn't know that!
Haruka	Oh, however... After I started slumping, I preferred to have things that were soothing, like tea with honey.
Haruka	Everyone was surprised at first, but once they learned my reasoning, they began saying, “What a marvelously elegant way to spend time,” as if I were an heiress or something.
Rin	Wow, they sound like really nice people!
Haruka	Yeah, they are... But I ended up not being able to go on stage... I caused everyone a lot of trouble and ASRUN ended up having to disband.
Miku	I see...
Haruka	But I still talk to them from time to time. They were really happy for me when I told them that I decided to be an idol again.
Rin	Really?! That's great...!
Haruka	(Then and now... I've had the fortune of being blessed with wonderful friends.)

Miku, Minori & Haruka (1)
Miku	Minori, did you ever go see one of Haruka's concerts when she was still an idol?
Minori	Of course! I was in her fan club, too!
Minori	My luck was never very good, though. Even when I did manage to get tickets, they were always really far back from the stage.
Haruka	Now we get to dance right next to each other.
Miku	That's true. Ms. Minori! How does that make you feel?!
Minori	Eh?! D-Don't make me think about it!
Minori	Hrng... I can feel my face getting warm!

Miku, Minori & Haruka (2)
Minori	The clover costumes we get to wear here are so cute, aren't they?!
Minori	Why clovers, though?
Haruka	I wondered the same thing, so I did some research.
Haruka	In the language of flowers, the clover means hope. It can also mean promise and love as well.
Minori	Wait... Miku, is that true?!
Miku	Hehe. It isn't just the songs, Minori. Even the costumes here were born from all four of your emotions.
Haruka	I thought that might be the case. We'll have to make sure to cherish our costumes just as much as our songs, then.
Minori	Yeah!

Rin, Minori & Haruka (1)
Haruka	I think it went...like this!
Rin	Oh, that's the dance I just did up on stage! You memorized it after only seeing it once?!
Haruka	It's easy to remember because it fits the song so well. I think Minori is better at imitating dance routines, though.
Minori	No, I have to watch a dance a few times before I can do it.
Rin	You really are amazing, Haruka. I can see why people considered you the top idol!
Minori	Yeah. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get to her level, but I'm going to try my best!

Rin, Minori & Haruka (2)
Minori	Rin, I noticed you don't just sing cute songs. You're really good at the more mature music too!
Haruka	Your smile changes a bit as well. Sometimes it's bright and innocent, but it can also be shy at times.
Haruka	Being able to alter your own aura like that shows you have great range as an idol. I'm a little jealous.
Rin	Y-You think so?
Rin	Oh, stop. You're going to make me blush.
Haruka	You even have a special charm when you're acting like a regular, embarrassed girl.
Minori	Yeah. You're always cute no matter what you're doing. I'm jealous, too.

Rin, Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Shizuku and Minori sure have been acting suspicious lately.
Rin	What? Y-You think so?
Haruka	Yup. You wouldn't know anything, would you Rin? Perhaps something about just the two of them staying behind to practice in secret?
Rin	H-How did you know... I mean-!
Rin	I-I don't know anything! I promised Minori and Shizuku I wouldn't say!
Airi	What an obvious reaction. That was almost too easy...
Haruka	Agreed. I'd feel bad pressing her any further.

Rin, Haruka & Airi (2)
Rin	One, two. Mic check. Sounds good♪
Haruka	Now we're just waiting for Minori, Shizuku, and Miku.
Airi	I'm glad Miku is with them.
Haruka	Yeah. At least we know they won't get lost.
Rin	(They say that, but they still look a little nervous. Hehe. They're both such worrywarts.)

Rin, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Rin	You have a lot of experience modeling, right, Shizuku? Do you come up with the poses on your own?
Shizuku	In my case, the cameraman would often give me directions.
Shizuku	Things like, give me a sad, over-the-shoulder look.
Rin	Oh, I see. What about you, Haruka? Did you have photo shoots like that?
Haruka	Yes, for things like magazines and CD covers. They were usually more particular about where I stood than my pose, though.
Haruka	Especially when I did cover shoots with the other ASRUN members. They always made sure the pictures never turned out too similar.
Rin	That sounds really interesting! I didn't realize there was so much to taking pictures. I'd love to hear more!

Rin, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Rin	Hey, I was wondering. Have you decided on a group leader?
Shizuku	Oh, I suppose we haven't had that conversation yet.
Haruka	You're right. We're still trying to figure out exactly how everything is going to work moving forward.
Rin	I see. You may have found your true feelings, but I guess that's just the beginning, eh?
Shizuku	There's no need to worry, Rin. The four of us are going to give it our best.
Haruka	That's right. We won't let everything you and Miku have done for us go to waste.
Rin	Great! Miku and I promise to be right here cheering you on the whole way!

Luka, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Luka	One, two, three, four♪
Shizuku	Every time I see you dance, Luka, I just think you're so amazing.
Haruka	I agree. Whenever you jump, you seems so light on your feet and never let your axis tilt by even a degree...
Haruka	Would you mind giving us some tips as to how you do that routine?
Luka	Sure. When I jump, I just imagine myself becoming a cloud and floating away♪
Shizuku	A cloud?
Luka	Yes. I'll just float away like a fluffy cloud. Then I land toes first.
Haruka	I see... I didn't know you paid such close attention to each move like that. No wonder it looked so beautiful...
Luka	Hehe. It's easy once you get used to it♪ Try focusing on landing right first. You can worry about jumping high later.
Shizuku	Yes, I think I understand! Would you like to try it, Haruka?
Haruka	Yeah, let's!
Luka	(Hehe. I knew that Minori and Airi were hard workers, but these two really are no different. You can't help but cheer for all of them♪)

Luka, Minori & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Okay, the "'Let's Learn to Dance' Challenge" for our next stream should be all set now.
Minori	Yeah! Thank you so much for helping me like this, Haruka!
Luka	Oh, that sounds like fun. What will you be doing exactly?
Minori	We're gonna ask our viewers to do a quick survey that asks which songs they want us to show them how to dance to...
Minori	We'll see which song comes in first place and have a little contest to see who can learn to dance to it in ten minutes the best.
Haruka	Minori gave it a try once previously and everyone seemed to enjoy the slight tension or nervousness that this sort of challenge creates.
Minori	I really didn't do very well that time, but I already told everyone that this is what I like to do so I can't afford to lose!
Luka	Hehe. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very heated contest. I can't wait to see what happens♪

KAITO, Minori & Haruka (1)
KAITO	Haruka, Minori, great job with practice. Here are some towels and sports drinks. Please make sure to stay hydrated.
Haruka	You brought these for us? Thank you, KAITO.
Minori	Thank you so much! This is so cool... It's like we have a real manager now!
KAITO	Hehe. I'm no imposter. You can think of me as your actual manager. After all, I'm both that and an idol.
KAITO	Oh, Minori, about when you were trying to turn just now... You seemed to be having a little trouble spinning on your left foot.
Haruka	You sometimes have a tendency to overdo it, so could it be that...?
Minori	Yeah, maybe. I have a feeling that it's happening for every part where I have to use my left foot to turn. I'm so worried about falling behind in the sequence...
Haruka	I see. It must be more challenging because you're not using your dominant foot.
KAITO	Yes, but there's also no need to push yourself too hard. Doing that can lead to an injury, so please try to be careful.
Minori	I will! Thank you, KAITO.
Haruka	Hehe. It's like you're also a coach on top of being a manager.
KAITO	Oh, really? Hehe. As long as I keep getting these opportunities, I'll be more than happy to help.

MEIKO, Minori & Haruka (1)
MEIKO & Minori	Hmm...
Haruka	Is something wrong, you two? You both seem pretty concerned...
MEIKO	I was wondering what color the costume for my next show should be and asked Minori for her opinion.
Haruka	The color of your costume?
MEIKO	Yes, I generally tend to choose red-colored costumes and outfits, so I was thinking about going with a different color for a change...
Haruka	Oh, is this a case of your other choices not quite being what you were hoping for...?
Minori	No, it's the exact opposite of that!!
Minori	Every color looks absolutely amazing on her! We're having trouble choosing an alternative because they're all good enough to challenge her usual red!
Haruka	Hehe. Now I understand.
Haruka	In that case, I'd like to join your discussion since we owe you quite a lot already.
MEIKO	Thank you, Haruka! Alright, I'll start over with the first color and put that costume back on♪
Minori	Yes, please!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Miku and Rin always look so dazzling up on stage.
Airi	They sure do. There's always something more we can learn from their singing and dancing, too.
Airi	So today, let's forget about practice and enjoy the show!
Haruka	Sounds to me like you just want to have fun.
Airi	What are you talking about? My entire life is centered around studying how to be an idol.
Minori	Yeah! C'mon Haruka, let's go!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Minori	Concerts require you to sing for two to three hours at a time, right?
Airi	Yeah. It's not an exaggeration to say they're a test of endurance.
Haruka	I understand that, but what are we doing here?
Airi	You and Shizuku always stand out too much when we jog near the school.
Haruka	Why don't we wear masks, then? That would also make breathing more difficult, which will boost the effectiveness of the workouts.
Airi	I guess that's true, but...
Minori	Haruka, sometimes you sound more like an athlete than an idol.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (3)
Minori	Huh? Is the stage lighting different or is it just me?
Airi	Hm... Yeah, I think you're right. The lights were a little lower the last time we were here.
Haruka	Yeah, Miku says they change everything depending on the show even when they use the same stage.
Airi	I see. I should have guessed that meant they did stage production too. Miku and Rin are amazing.
Minori	Do you think they made any other changes and we just didn't notice?
Haruka	Maybe. Let's see if we can find any. It might be a good learning opportunity.

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Ah—ah—ah—
Haruka	Minori? What are you doing up on stage?
Shizuku	She said she wanted to see how far her voice would carry.
Minori	Hehehe. The stage is just so huge! I wanted to see how far I could throw my voice!
Minori	Can you two try going behind the stage to see if you can still hear me?!
Shizuku	Sure. Hehe. I remember feeling the same excitement when I first stood up on stage.
Haruka	Me too.
Haruka	(This is exactly the thing about her that helped us all.)

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Minori	Phew... I'm exhausted...
Shizuku	Good work, Minori. Shall we get started on our cooldown?
Minori	Sure! Hey, what is a cooldown for, anyway?
Haruka	After working out, your muscles and nerves are in an excited state. If you let them remain that way, they'll be extra sore the following day.
Haruka	It's similar to how you calm down when your emotions are high. The same thing needs to be done for your muscles.
Shizuku	That's our Haruka. So knowledgeable about the body.
Haruka	I really enjoy learning new things like that.
Haruka	Now then, I know you're probably tired, but let's do a proper cooldown.
Minori	Right!

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (3)
Minori	Ready, Shizuku?! Beep Shutter Beep Shutter
Haruka	I'm really impressed by how you're able to strike all these poses and make so many different facial expressions, Shizuku.
Shizuku	Hehe. The photographers would always teach me something new whenever I modeled for them.
Minori	Cool! That means I need to learn as much as I can from you and practice having my pictures taken, Shizuku!
Haruka	Hm? Do you not like having pictures taken of you, Minori?
Minori	I don't think so... But my luck's atrocious, so my eyes usually end up being half-closed or the peace sign I'm trying to make would look all funny.
Haruka	(I'd chalk that up more to your timing being bad as opposed to your luck...)
Haruka	Then, you could try learning the rhythm for when you're posing while having your pictures taken.
Haruka	Knowing how much time there is between shots and poses should help with that. You could also try adjusting how often you change your facial expressions.
Shizuku	Yes, in that case, I may be able to help.
Minori	Really?! Oh, please teach me!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Haruka	How far do you think the stages go in this SEKAI?
Airi	I'm not sure. There are stages as far as I can see.
Shizuku	How about we go for a jog and find out?
Haruka	Sounds good to me. Will you be all right, though?
Shizuku	I may not be as athletic as you, but I'm fairly confident in my stamina.
Airi	That's not what I meant. I'm worried you might get lost.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Haruka	Hm? That little stage over there looks like the set from a music show I used to do.
Shizuku	You think so too? I was just thinking the same thing.
Airi	Me too. It's not all of them, but some of the stages I've seen feel really familiar.
Shizuku	I know what you mean. Whenever I see a stage that seems familiar, I get this warm rush of nostalgia.
Haruka	It's the same for me. Maybe it has something to do with this SEKAI place being connected to our feelings.
Airi	Yeah. I hope we get a chance to learn more about how that works one of these days.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Sigh... This part's so difficult...
Airi	You don't have time for any of that! You're the type that learns by doing, so just keep trying and keep going, okay?!
Shizuku	Okay! But how is Minori doing...?
Minori	No...! I tripped over my foot again!
Haruka	You're stepping into it much better now. I'm sure you'll start getting it soon, so let's work on it together.
Minori	Haruka...! Okay, I'll keep trying!
Shizuku	... Airi, praising me might help me improve faster too...
Airi	How can you say that with a straight face? We're not changing anything, okay? If you want praise, go ask Haruka for help...
Shizuku	But... I want you to praise me...
Airi	Sigh... Fine...
Airi	Shizuku, you stumbled during that last sequence, but you also showed off your charm well and it was hard to take my eyes off you. Just keep trying!
Shizuku	Airi...! Okay, I will!
Airi	Alright, alright. You're so easy...

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	Minori, thank you for coming up with so many ideas for our stream again.
Haruka	A lot involved activities that our fans will really love too, so we should be set for a while.
Minori	You think so?! Hehe. I'm glad my marathon brainstorming session paid off! I somehow managed to get up to 100!
Airi	Wait, you came up with these all on your own?
Minori	Yeah! All these ideas have been popping into my head nonstop since putting on an event in real life!
Minori	It's also a good exercise for me in terms of coming up with new segments, so I decided to set a goal and go for it!
Airi	Hey, that's great! But we're not about to let you leave us behind.
Shizuku	Yes, I think I'll come up with 100 more ideas!
Haruka	Hehe. If the three of us do that, we'll be up to 400 in total.
Minori	4-400?! That'd be amazing! It's like a year's worth of streams!
Airi	To be fair, we won't be able to use all of those ideas. Still, that many could lead us to striking gold!
Minori	Yeah! I'll try finding ways to improve the ones I came up with by thinking about them a little more!

Haruka (1)
Haruka	I think those guys are members of the basketball team.
Haruka	I used to love all the dribbling and passing drills. It was hard making shots at the beginning, and I'd mess up passes all the time, but I eventually got the hang of it.
Haruka	Hehe. Being part of a club sure was fun. I know, maybe I could start playing again as part of my training routine.

Ichika & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Hoshino, I always see you eating yakisoba buns for lunch.
Ichika	Yeah, they're my favorite. What about you? Do you always have salad?
Haruka	Yes. Salads are a great way to keep a balanced diet. They're high in vitamins and minerals.
Haruka	Yakisoba buns, on the other hand, are just carbs wrapped in carbs. They probably aren't the healthiest meal...
Ichika	You think so? Still, they taste so good.
Haruka	Hehe. Well, I can't argue with that.

Ichika & Haruka (2)
Ichika	You always give off the feeling that you can do anything. Is there anything you're not good at?
Haruka	Um... Maybe being idle?
Haruka	Even on my days off, I can't just sit around at home doing nothing. I end up doing voice training or adding extra exercises to my daily workout.
Ichika	Hehe. That sounds like something you'd do.

Saki & Haruka (1)
Saki	Haruka, do you like Phenny because it looks like a penguin?
Haruka	I know this will probably offend a lot of Phenny fans, but, as strange as it sounds...yes.
Saki	No, it won't. It's like Shiho always says, different people will fall in love with Phenny for different reasons!
Haruka	Ah... Shizuku's younger sister from 1-A? Now that you mention it, she does seem like the sort who would be a Phenny fan.
Saki	Oh wow! How'd you figure that out?!
Haruka	Hehe. I saw one on her bag before.
Saki	Whoa! A true Phenny fan never misses a thing!

Saki & Haruka (2)
Haruka	Tenma, I heard you started a band with Hoshino?
Saki	Sure did! Our band's name is Leo/need.
Saki	Heh heh heh. It sounds just as awesome as MORE MORE JUMP!, don't you think?
Haruka	On the contrary, I think Leo/need sounds more elegant and a lot cooler too.
Saki	But is it though? Is it really?
Haruka	(Hehe, Tenma must really like the name of her band.)

Saki & Haruka (3)
Saki	You were awesome in music class just now, Haruka! You really poured your feelings into that song, but that's only to be expected from a professional, huh?
Haruka	No. I'm not quite there, yet. You're mistaking my pitch inflection for my feelings.
Haruka	There are many other idols who can sing much better than me.
Saki	Oh, I see... I wonder what their songs are like.
Haruka	I have some CDs. Would you like to borrow them?
Saki	Yay! And yes, please!

Minori & Haruka (1)
Minori	.....
Haruka	Minori... It's a little hard to practice with you staring at me like that...
Minori	Oh, s-sorry! I was just thinking about how you shine when you sing...
Minori	Every time I see you, I remember just how much I want to be as good of an idol as you! More, more!
Haruka	Hehe. Thanks, Minori.
Haruka	(I have you to thank for the person I am now, you know.)

Minori & Haruka (2)
Haruka	What's the notebook for, Minori?
Minori	It's a diary! I make sure to write a little every day about special things that happened, any fun stuff, or what I practiced that day!
Haruka	Oh? That takes quite a lot of diligence.
Minori	Hehehe. I've been keeping a diary as long as I've been practicing singing and dancing. You don't keep a diary?
Haruka	I don't. Perhaps I should start one, though.

Minori & Haruka (3)
Minori	Haruka, thanks for letting me borrow your textbook!
Minori	I can't believe I actually got to borrow a book from my favorite idol! I never thought this day would come!
Minori	I'll never forget this day as long as I live.
Haruka	Hehe. That's well good and all, but you should try not to forget your own textbooks.
Minori	Oh, you're right! I'll be more careful!

Minori & Haruka (4)
Minori	Haruka! I... I... I'd to ask you something!
Haruka	Sure, what is it? Also, you don't have to be so formal...
Minori	O-Okay! It's that... I'd like to have a study party with you!
Minori	Some of my classmates and I have been studying together already since we have exams coming up, but I thought it'd be nice to have you there too...!
Haruka	A study party? I used to have those all the time with my friends. Sure, I'll come.
Minori	Really?! Yay! Okay, I'll make sure my room's clean for when it happens♪

Minori & Haruka (5)
Minori	Good morning, Haruka!
Haruka	Oh, Minori. Good morning... Hm...?
Haruka	Did you cut your bangs?
Minori	Gasp...! Yes, I did...! They were bothering me a little, especially when we dance and stuff, so I had my mom trim them for me.
Haruka	I see. It's very natural and looks nice. Your mom must be really talented.
Minori	Hehe. Thanks!
Minori	(I didn't think Haruka would notice...! I have to work extra hard during practice today!)

Minori & Haruka (6)
Minori	Hehe. I never would've imagined us taking pictures together for a stream like this, Haruka.
Haruka	Hehe. Your Edit Yourself Cute Selfie Battle! got so heated in the end.
Haruka	But we really couldn't do anything against Airi and Shizuku.
Minori	Yeah. I looked up and learned a lot of stuff for it too. I was so sure that we'd win.
Minori	But Airi just knows way too many cute poses and editing techniques.
Haruka	I know, right? Actually, it might be good to ask her about that since we'll need to start taking more photos to get our name out there.
Minori	Yeah! Oh, why don't we ask her after school today?

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Ugh... I know it's a student's job to study and all, but getting homework is always so depressing.
Haruka	It's not very seemly to complain to those younger than you.
Airi	I'm not really complaining, I'm just vocalizing the fact that I don't want to do math when I get home.
Haruka	That's called complaining. You know, your homework wouldn't take you so long if you spent a little time reviewing what we do in class each day.
Airi	Ngh... I don't want to hear this...

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Oh, Haruka. I've got club today, so could you let everyone know I'm going to be a little late for practice?
Haruka	Sure. I didn't realize you were in a club.
Airi	Yeah, I'm in the tea ceremony club. I joined after leaving my agency.
Haruka	Did you join just for the Japanese sweets?
Airi	I'd be lying if I said that wasn't part of the reason, but I was actually interested in the ceremony as well.

Haruka & Airi (3)
Haruka	Airi, I came up with a new idea for our stream. Would you mind taking a look at it?
Airi	Sure, let's see it...
Airi	Wait, you said that you'd take it easy yesterday. You weren't lying, were you?
Haruka	No, I went to bed two hours earlier than usual. I got this idea when I was out jogging this morning.
Airi	Okay, if you managed to get more sleep than normal then I don't see a problem...
Airi	Just make sure to keep taking breaks and getting rest when you can, alright? That way, your mind and body will always be 100% ready.
Haruka	Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks, Airi.

Haruka & Airi (4)
Haruka	Airi, you really like cats, don't you? I found these while I was out shopping the other day.
Airi	Wow! These mittens look just like cat paws! How cute!
Haruka	I remember you like to cook, so I thought you might like them.
Airi	Haruka, you're the best! Just wait! I'll find something with penguins on it to repay you!
Haruka	Huh? Hehe. Okay, I'm looking forward to it.

Haruka & Airi (5)
Haruka	Airi, I made some adjustments to that cooking segment we were planning based on your suggestions. Mind giving it another look?
Airi	Yeah, sure. Hey, this is pretty good...!
Airi	So we're supposed to guess what to make based on these incomplete recipes?
Haruka	Yes, I thought it'd be fun since our choices will likely have a clear effect on the end result.
Haruka	You could even get a recipe that tells you what you're making, such as tempura or chili prawns, but not tell you in detail how to make them.
Airi	Hehe. That means it'll be a test of our knowledge, memory and imagination!
Haruka	But it'd still be too easy for you, Airi, so I was wondering if you could do color commentary and make some samples for us in the end.
Airi	I'll probably be taking more jabs at them than commentating... Hehe. That should be pretty fun too!

Haruka & Airi (6)
Haruka	Oh, Airi. Apparently, some of our fans tried making some of those smoothies you blended for us during training camp. Here, they even posted some pictures on social media.
Airi	Hm? You mean the break-a-leg smoothies I made in the hopes that our solo show will succeed?
Airi	Hey, look at that. They even used the same ingredients and proportions as me.
Haruka	This person drank theirs in the hopes that they'll be able to come see our show.
Haruka	Others also made wishes while some simply tried making them for fun.
Airi	I see... If I knew that this was gonna happen, I would've put more effort into making them tastier.
Haruka	Hehe. I thought they were actually pretty good. Oh, why don't we reintroduce them during our next cooking segment?
Airi	Great idea! I'll try coming up with a healthy and delicious beauty smoothie recipe by then!

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Hello, Haruka. Would you like to join me in the cafeteria?
Haruka	Sorry, I brought my own lunch today.
Shizuku	Oh, do you always make lunch yourself?
Haruka	Yes. The food at school always has so many sugars and fats, so I have to be careful.
Shizuku	Hehe. You're still worried about maintaining your weight and figure, then?
Haruka	Yeah, it's sort of become a part of my daily routine. I'm not sure I could stop now even if I wanted to.

Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	Haruka, would you help me with some dance practice after lunch? I'm having a bit of trouble with the choreography from yesterday.
Haruka	Of course. Should we ask Airi to join us?
Shizuku	I was hoping to surprise her by learning the whole routine.
Haruka	Ah, I see. I'd be happy to help.
Shizuku	Thank you!

Haruka & Shizuku (3)
Haruka	Shizuku, your dad was a guitar player, right? Did you ever learn to play?
Shizuku	No, I've never been very coordinated.
Shizuku	My little sister loves playing bass, though. She's really good. I can introduce you some time if you like.
Haruka	Oh, that's all right. She's in the same class as Minori, right? I've spoken with her a few times.
Shizuku	Is that so? How wonderful. I'm so glad she's been making friends recently!
Haruka	I wouldn't say we're friends. We only spoke briefly. Huh? She's not even listening...

Haruka & Shizuku (4)
Haruka	Shizuku, do you have a minute? I was hoping you could tell me what you did to get so tall.
Shizuku	What? Um, nothing really...
Haruka	I thought so. Minori was asking what she could do to get taller.
Haruka	I suggested it might help to stretch more so she's nice and flexible, but...
Shizuku	Oh, that's a great idea. I feel like that would help.
Haruka	Y-You think so?

Haruka & Shizuku (5)
Shizuku	How long have you liked penguins, Haruka?
Haruka	I think since I was in elementary school. It's just so cute how they waddle.
Shizuku	Hehe. You've liked them for quite a long time then.
Haruka	I have. I also find how round a lot of penguin goods are shaped. So cute and comforting.
Haruka	But I like real penguins too. I'll never get tired of how they can glide through the water the way they do.
Shizuku	Oh, I definitely understand what you mean. I could watch Shii all day and never get tired of it.
Shizuku	Unfortunately, she might get mad at me if I actually do that... Sigh...

Haruka & Shizuku (6)
Shizuku	Haruka, you go out for two runs each day, right? Would it be possible for me to join you for one sometime?
Haruka	Of course, but what made you want to run?
Shizuku	I've been meaning to run more, but I'm too worried about not being able to get home on my own...
Haruka	Oh, right... You might get lost along the way...
Shizuku	I'm sorry. I really don't mean to be a bother...
Haruka	No, that's okay. Everyone has something that gives them trouble. Anyway, how does tomorrow sound?
Shizuku	Yes, I can do that. Thank you so much, Haruka.

Haruka & Shizuku (7)
Shizuku	Oh, Haruka. Remember that running route you recommended to me the other day?
Haruka	Did you try going for a run?
Shizuku	Yes, a few times. I had a wonderful run each time because of all the greenery.
Haruka	That's good to hear. By the way, did you find your way around okay? My goal was to pick something that stuck close to the road.
Shizuku	No problems whatsoever! Even I was surprised!
Shizuku	All I did was turn left at the bookstore, bakery and other landmarks you told me about, and like magic, I was back in front of my house.
Haruka	Hehe. Their cute exteriors and distinct signage makes it easy, right?
Haruka	(I'm not sure what to do in the event these shops become something else. I hope she learns the actual route soon.)

Haruka & Kohane (1)
Kohane	Haruka, is it true that you train every day?
Haruka	I do. I go for a run each morning and evening, and do some muscle training at home.
Kohane	Wow... Everything Minori said was true. It's like I'm talking to a professional athlete.
Kohane	But I guess you have to do all of that to be an idol.
Haruka	I do, at least. It's my way of maintaining my stamina and making sure that I can give the best dance performances possible.
Haruka	I work on my core quite a bit too. Having a strong core means I can sing at a good volume and not have to tense up so much.
Kohane	I see... Maybe I should start working out a little since I'm also trying to improve the way I sing...
Kohane	But I'm not sure I can keep up that sort of routine.
Haruka	There are other ways of working on that without having to start doing any strength training. For example, stretching and breathing exercises can do wonders.
Haruka	So I think it'd be best if you found a routine that you can work with, Kohane.
Haruka	(And I wouldn't want An coming back and saying, "What did you do to Kohane and why is she so buff all the sudden?!")
Kohane	Okay, I'll try doing some research later! Thanks, Haruka!

Haruka & Emu (1)
Emu	Today's another wonderhoy-ful day♪
Haruka	Otori, what does wonderhoy mean?
Emu	Well, you can use it in a lot of different situations... But mostly it's like a mantra that's supposed to make people smile, I guess!
Emu	You can say it to yourself, or use it to cheer someone else up!
Haruka	A mantra that makes people smile? Hehe, that's a wonderful mantra to have indeed.

Haruka & Emu (2)
Emu	Haruka, are you in any afterschool clubs?
Haruka	Not now, but I was in the basketball club in junior high school.
Haruka	Still, I was so busy with work that I never got to take part in any official club matches.
Emu	Oh, why don't you rejoin the basketball club, then? I'll drop by to play with you, too!
Haruka	That's true... Joining a club, huh. Shizuku and Airi are both in clubs as well. I'll think about it.
Emu	Yeah! You should do it! It'll be fun♪

Ichika, Saki & Haruka (1)
Saki	Huh? Ichi, the wrapping for your yakisoba bun looks kinda different from the ones you usually buy.
Ichika	Yeah, I decided to try something else today.
Haruka	That's pretty rare of you, Hoshino. What did you get today?
Ichika	An omelet yakisoba bun. They're only available today. Here, take a look...
Saki	Whoa! It's a yakisoba bun with thin, little omelets inside! That looks really yummy♪
Haruka	It's still a yakisoba bun to me...
Ichika	Would you two like to give them a try? I got a few, so we can share.
Saki	Awesome! Thanks, Ichi! Here, in return, you can have some of my lunch.
Haruka	Hehe. While we're at it, why don't we all share today?
Ichika	Okay, that sounds good!

Shiho, Minori & Haruka (1)
Minori	Hehe. I'm so happy that we get to have lunch like this together, Haruka, Shiho.
Haruka	Oh, Hinomori, that reminds me. It seemed like Shizuku was looking forward to having lunch with you today. Will she be okay?
Shiho	She'll be fine. We always have dinner together anyway.
Minori	But isn't eating together at home way different from eating together at school?
Minori	Oh, I know! Why don't we invite Shizuku and...?
Shiho	Kiritani, why don't the two of us move over there?
Minori	Nooo!
Shiho	I’m kidding...
Shiho	I mean, I promised you two that we'd have lunch together, so I didn't want to break that.
Shiho	I'll make sure to keep Shizuku in the loop by letting her know what we talked about and stuff during dinner.
Haruka	Hehe. Okay. To be fair, I've been waiting for a chance to sit down and chat with you. Sorry, Shizuku, she's ours for now.
Minori	Yeah! So let's get started!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Haruka, you're always so precise in everything you do. It's like you don't have a single weak spot as an idol.
Haruka	You think so? I guess I do tend to do everything similarly to how I would when I was working.
Minori	Yeah, I agree! Your posture is always perfect, you're never late, you exercise and study every day, and you're always so dazzling it's almost blinding!
Airi	Putting aside the fervent fan's assessment for a moment...
Airi	I probably don't have to worry about you, but it's okay to relax sometimes, you know. And you should.
Haruka	I know. I try to do so in my own way, but thank you for worrying about me, Airi.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Haruka	Airi, is that a daifuku? Where did you get it?
Airi	I saw it at the school store. I love Japanese sweets, so whenever I see them, I just can't help myself.
Airi	Aren't they so good?! Some even change with the seasons. Especially the kinds like neri-kiri! There are so many different colors and decorations!
Minori	Neri-kiri? I've never heard of those before.
Airi	Yeah, it's probably not a name you hear very often. I could explain what they are, but it'd be easier to try some. I can show you a really good shop!
Minori	Really? That sounds great!
Haruka	We'll have to invite Shizuku so we can all go together.

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Haruka	You two are both club and committee members, aren't you?
Shizuku	Yes. I'm on the school cleanup committee and the archery team, though I don't attend the latter very often.
Minori	I'm not on any teams, but I am part of the animal caretaker committee.
Haruka	I thought about joining a team or a committee now that I'm able to attend school like a regular student.
Minori	It's great for meeting friends outside of your own class and getting to know the older students too!
Shizuku	That's true. I think it would be nice to take advantage of the opportunity to experience school life while you're here.
Haruka	Okay, I'm going to give it some more thought, then.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh? I don't see you with your nails done very often.
Haruka	Yeah. My mother is actually a nail stylist. She always tries out her latest designs on me first.
Haruka	She says the theme this time is a pink and gray gradient that's meant to not be obtrusive while at school.
Airi	(I bet Ena would love this sorta thing!)
Airi	Which nail salon does your mom work at? I know a friend who would love to go.
Haruka	Oh, I can send you a link to their website later.
Airi	Great, thanks!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	You know, for a junior student, I feel like you can be pretty casual around us sometimes.
Shizuku	Oh, that's right. You act so much older that I sometimes forget you're still a first year student.
Haruka	If my speech is not to your liking, I'd be only too happy to defer to you, Ms. Airi.
Airi	Now it just sounds like you're making fun of me for bringing it up.
Haruka	I would never do any such thing. I'm sure you're just imagining things.
Airi	Actually, forget I said anything. This just feels weird.
Shizuku	I agree. I think I would prefer it if you didn't change.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Shizuku	Haruka, Airi, do you have a moment?
Airi	Hm? What's up?
Shizuku	It's about today's practice. I was thinking about going to archery club, so I might be a little late.
Airi	Oh, is that all? Don't worry about it. Go have fun.
Haruka	Yeah. We're most likely going to be practicing yesterday's routine, so we don't all need to be there.
Shizuku	Thanks, you two.
Shizuku	I'll see you after archery practice, then.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (4)
Airi	Archery looks so cool, but I hear it takes a lot of practice before you're even able to draw the bow.
Shizuku	Yes, there are quite a few people who find it difficult.
Haruka	How about you, Shizuku?
Shizuku	It did take some time, but working hard and improving a little every day is the sort of thing I enjoy doing.
Haruka	Hehe. You and Minori are both the type to keep plugging away at something, that's for sure.
Airi	Well, as long as you're having fun. Keeping up with club activities as well as idol lessons sounds really tough to me.
Shizuku	Thank you for worrying about me, Airi.
Shizuku	I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity to be part of a club as long as I'm in school.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (5)
Shizuku	"It is important to make the purpose of your correspondence as clear as possible." Yes, I see...
Haruka	What are you reading, Shizuku?
Shizuku	Oh, Haruka, Airi! Hehe. This is a book on how to write business emails.
Shizuku	You and Airi handle most of that for us currently, Haruka, so I thought that I should learn how to as well.
Airi	That'd help a lot. At the same time, I'm not sure you need that book. I feel like you can write those kinds of emails just fine already.
Airi	I mean, you got a hold of that one creator and asked them to use my song from way back when.
Haruka	That's right. Etiquette's important, but it's always better to express how you actually feel instead of using a boilerplate response.
Shizuku	Hehe. That's very true. Then, I think I'll focus on learning how to use all these different functions. For example, attaching files and understanding what "barbeque" means.
Airi	Wait, barbeque? What are you talking about?
Haruka	Oh, are you talking about the BCC function...?
Airi	You only got the B right! Geez, I'm starting to get worried. Alright, I'm gonna help you learn this stuff.
Shizuku	You will? I really appreciate it, Airi!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	We managed to book the rehearsal studio, so that's where we're going to practice today.
Shizuku	It's been a while since we practiced in a studio.
Haruka	That's another reason to make good use of it!
Minori	Yeah! Hehehe!
Airi	What's that dorky smile for?
Minori	I'm just really happy, and kind of proud? That I get to practice with all of you every day.
Minori	It's like my hard work has paid off, and here I am now!
Airi	What are you talking about? It's only going to get harder from now on.
Haruka	Cut her some slack, she knows that. Right, Minori?
Minori	Sure thing! You can bet I'll give it my all today too!
Airi	You said it. Let's make this a really hardcore session.
Shizuku	Hehe. I won't fall behind.
Shizuku	Um... So where exactly is this studio?
Airi	I thought you were leading us there but you don't even know the way? Sheesh, follow me!
Haruka	Hehe... Come on, Minori, or they'll leave us behind.
Minori	Sure!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Beep
Minori	Oh, Shizuku sent me a reply! Let's see... <I got up before my mom came to wake me today.> I'll add a smiley-face stamp at the end too...
Beep
Shizuku	Oh, already. Minori's always so quick to respond. And what a cute stamp! I'll send one too. Let's see, I go here and...
Haruka	...
Airi	Uh, Minori, Shizuku... I want to talk about the chat group we made for the four of us...
Minori	<Oh, okay! I'm sorry about falling asleep on you last night.>
Beep
Airi	That's all good. Staying up late is bad for the skin anyway...
Shizuku	<What would you like to...?> Oh no, it got cut off again. <Sorry about...>
Beep
Airi	Time out, Shizuku! You don't need to keep sending stuff if you know you're gonna keep making typos like that...!
Airi	Plus, we're all right here, so can't you just tell us?
Minori & Shizuku	<Oh, right...!>
Minori	Y-You're right! I'm sorry, it's just so much fun to play with all these stamps!
Haruka	Minori has so many too.
Shizuku	Yes, she does. I'd like to learn how to use them too, but it's also just so much fun trying to pick out the right one...!
Airi	No, you need to work on your typing skills before you start using any stamps...!
Airi	And more to the point, message each other when we're not literally right next to each other!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (3)
Airi	Okay, have we all picked out a movie for the “Recommended Films” segment we're gonna be doing during our next stream?
Minori	Of course! Here's mine! It's a coming-of-age movie about a track and field team called “A Rainbow on the Track”! It brought me to tears because it was so good!
Haruka	Oh, Fujimiya from “IRIS RINK” is in that. It was her first time acting, but she did such an amazing job that she seemed like a completely different person compared to her usual on-stage persona.
Shizuku	I've seen that movie too. It's such a wonderfully heartwarming film.
Shizuku	But I believe my choice is also no pushover. Here! It's “Zom-Zom-Zombie and the Search for His Family”.
Airi	Oh, that one! It's the animated film about a zombie boy who literally falls apart as he searches for his parents and siblings, right?!
Airi	I've been meaning to watch it since my little sister and her friends said they were so moved by it.
Haruka	Oh, I've never heard of this movie before, but it sounds nice.
Shizuku	It really is. The moral of this story reminds you of just how precious your family is. By the way, Airi, what did you choose?
Airi	Here's my pick! “Nobody's By My Side”
Airi	It's a mystery that involves the protagonist meeting this strange and lonely adolescent, and you slowly learn more about them as the story progresses. It's a great story with a really heartrending finale...
Minori	Oh wow! Mystery movies always seem kinda scary, but I might really enjoy this one if its story really is that touching.
Haruka	Finally, my selection. I'd like to recommend a movie called “Inferential Friends”.
Haruka	These two girls are the dual protagonists and they're very close friends. However, they're both prone to jumping to the wrong conclusion, which causes the story to unfold in a really unexpected way.
Airi	Nice! I don't think any of us were expecting you to pick a comedy, Haruka.
Shizuku	I agree. I can't wait to see what it's like.
Minori	Me neither! Let's hurry over to Shizuku's place and watch them all!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (4)
Minori	Training was really hard, but our camp was so much fun!
Airi	Yeah, I'm glad we were able to get some new swimsuits too. Unfortunately, we ended up focusing so much on training that we didn't really get to feature them.
Shizuku	That's right. When do you think we'll get to wear them next...?
Haruka	For a stream? That's hard to say, but we could go somewhere in private together. Like the pool or a water park, maybe?
Minori	Oh, that sounds fun! We should totally go!
Shizuku	Yes, I agree! We used to go as a family fairly frequently when I was little, but haven't been to one in quite some time.
Airi	Yeah, same... I've only gone for work and stuff, so it'd be nice to just have fun for once.
Minori	Does that mean...?!
Airi	Let's go when we need a little break.
Minori	Yay! Which one should we go to? Oh, somewhere that has lots of yummy food! Also, an amusement park!
Airi	Slow down... First, we gotta get in a good practice today!
Minori	R-Right...
Haruka & Shizuku	Hehe.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (5)
Minori	Sigh I'm so jealous of you, Airi.
Airi	Of me? Why?
Haruka	You have a big sister, right? We were just discussing how nice it must be to have siblings, and it turns out that Minori's always wanted a big sister.
Minori	Yeah, because having a big sister means going shopping together and having someone help pick out clothes for you...! And someone to help me with my homework!
Airi	Hmm... Mine doesn't exactly fit into that mold. What about you, Shizuku? You seem like the type who enjoys doing big sister stuff.
Shizuku	Well, I've helped Shii with her homework a few times, but I've hardly ever helped pick out clothes for her...
Haruka	To be fair, you and her have very different tastes in terms of clothes.
Minori	Y-Yeah... Hmm... Am I seeing big sisters through rose-colored lenses?
Haruka	I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I've always wanted a big sister too.
Shizuku	Oh, then... Why don't Airi and I try filling those roles for you two?!
Minori	Whoa! That'd be great, Sis!
Airi	That was fast... You're already calling her “Sis” too.
Haruka	Hehe. This sounds like fun. How about it, Sis?
Airi	H-Huh...?! This feels so weird!
Shizuku	Really? Having so many little sisters would make each day so much fun! Hehe♪

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (6)
Minori	Oh, look! We got a DM with an offer about promoting a product!
Minori	It says, "Lucky Meat Burgers! Zero calories because you're just that lucky!"
Haruka	Zero calories...? For being lucky...?
Airi	Seriously, quit reading these kinds of DMs. You know this one's just another scam, right?
Shizuku	I agree. However, if what they're saying is true, those hamburgers sound very interesting...
Minori	Haha... Yeah... It came with supplemental documents, so I was hoping that just maybe...
Airi	Lemme see... Ten patents pending? Soon to be approved by a famed culinary researcher?
Haruka	Hmm... I'm having a hard time finding a part of this offer that isn't suspicious...
Minori	Sigh That's too bad. I thought it could help turn my fortunes around since I'm so unlucky...!
Airi	Anyway, I'll send them a polite response saying that we'll pass...
Shizuku	Yes, please do.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (7)
Minori	Hehe...
Airi	Minori's giggling while looking at her phone...
Shizuku	What are you watching, Minori?
Minori	It's a video of Samo! We watched the episode of iHaz where we appear together and... Look!
Haruka	Hehe. He's right in front of your TV. His nose looks like it's about to touch the screen...
Shizuku	Oh... Is he comparing the real you to the person he's seeing on the screen?
Airi	The real Minori's right next to him, but he's hearing her voice coming from somewhere else.
Minori	Yeah! He has such an amazingly adorable personality!
Minori	Oh, also! When Shizuku was answering Arisa's questions, he didn't wag his tail at all. He just sat there and watched really intently.
Haruka	Does that mean he was moved by the way Shizuku handled that situation?
Shizuku	Hehe. If that's the case, I'd like to thank him somehow.
Minori	Then, wanna come over to my house? It's been a while since you last did and we still need to discuss our next stream!
Shizuku	Are you sure? Thank you, Minori.
Airi	Hehe. I think we're all looking forward to seeing Samo again.

Saki & Haruka (1)
Saki	Hehee♪ Going to the arcade with Haruka♪
Haruka	I'm looking forward to it. I don't think I've been since I was in elementary school.
Saki	Photo booths and arcade games have changed a lot! I was so surprised the first time I went after getting out of the hospital.
Haruka	Photo booths, huh? Hehe. I can't wait to see how much they've changed.
Saki	Great! I still haven't tried all the different types, so let's try a bunch!

Haruka & Airi (1)
Haruka	Airi, what do you usually do for a disguise when you go out?
Airi	Sunglasses and a hat, I guess. Sometimes I'll wear a mask, too. That's usually enough. What about you?
Haruka	I usually just put on some glasses. I feel like I get recognized less if I don't stand out.
Airi	Really?! I can't believe that works!
Haruka	Well, I still get recognized sometimes. But if I'm going to get recognized, it's less embarrassing if I'm not obviously wearing a disguise.
Airi	Well, when you put it that way... Now I'm starting to get embarrassed about my elaborate disguises!

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, look over there! That cat is cleaning itself! Isn't it so cute?
Haruka	Yeah... I wish I could see penguins around town like this.
Airi	I know how you must feel, but that would definitely cause a scene.
Haruka	Hehe. I suppose that's true.

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Wireless earbuds have caught my interest lately. I've browsed around, but do you happen to have any recommendations?
Haruka	I have a few... But I'm more surprised by you actively looking for anything like this.
Shizuku	The truth is, my elbow got caught on the cord for my current earbuds when I was practicing a dance routine the other day. That made me drop my music player and ended up breaking...
Shizuku	Which is why I'd like to get a pair of wireless earbuds to help prevent that from happening again.
Haruka	Oh, that's right... You like listening to your music player while working on a dance routine.
Shizuku	Yes. Airi taught me everything about how to use one when we were both still in training.
Haruka	(Now she can use a music player all on her own. Way to go, Airi...)
Haruka	I can show you a few of the wireless earbuds that I've used before.
Haruka	(One with a neckband might be best. I've used it before so I should be able to teach her how like Airi did with her music player.)
Shizuku	Oh, Haruka, thank you so much!

Haruka & An (1)
Haruka	It still makes me a little nervous to be in places with so many people like this.
An	Every time we get together, people recognize you right away and things end up getting a little crazy. I think it's because you never hide your stage presence.
Haruka	Stage presence? I'm not doing it on purpose, so how would I hide it?
An	Hahaha. If you don't even realize it yourself, there's not much you can do. You've just naturally stood out ever since elementary school.
Haruka	I don't think you have much room to talk. You're the one who always stood out whenever we had any sort of school event.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Right side, clear! Left side, clear!
Haruka	What are you doing, Minori?
Airi	The light's green, you know.
Minori	I'm not checking for cars, I'm staying vigilant.
Minori	In case either of you get mobbed, I'm making sure I have a clear evacuation route so I can get you both to safety before you panic!
Haruka	I feel like the first one of us to actually panic...
Airi	...Would definitely be you, Minori.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Minori, Haruka, stand there for just a second. Um, a little closer. There!
Camera Shutter
Haruka	What was that for, Airi?
Airi	Hehe. Here, look!
Minori	Oh, the flower field on the screen behind us makes it look like we're actually there!
Airi	I have a friend who's really good at taking pictures for social media. I wanted to try out one of her ideas.
Minori	That's cool! Can I try, too?!
Haruka	All right. I'll stand right here, then.
Minori	What?! I-I get to take a photo of Haruka?! Hehehe! I'll make sure you look perfect!
Airi	Minori, you'd better stop grinning and take the picture before the screen changes.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Alright, let's rest and relax as much as we can today!
Shizuku	Yes, let's!
Airi	Wanting to get a real break-in is great and all, but you might want to keep your voice down. Everyone around us can hear you.
Haruka	Hehe. But I've been looking forward to this too. It's not every day you get to go to stores specializing only in cotton candy and caramel apples...
Minori	I know, right?! But why did you choose these places in the first place?
Airi	Shizuku and I got some cotton candy and caramel apples when we went to the Summer Festival. It sort of reminded us how good they are.
Shizuku	And we decided to look for a suitable substitute since the two of you weren't able to join us then.
Haruka	You did all this for us? Thank you very much.
Airi	Don't mention it. Besides, someone else tipped me off to this caramel apple place, so I've been meaning to go too.
Airi	So let's try to have as much fun as we can today!
Haruka	Okay! Hehe.

Minori, Haruka, Kohane & An (1)
An	And you know what's amazing about Kohane? When she was still a complete beginner, she could handle this monstrous amount of work without any problems whatsoever!
Kohane	A-An, stop. You're making me blush...
Haruka	Hehe. You always have such a hard time stopping whenever you start talking about Kohane.
Minori	(Good for you, Kohane... I hope that I can be someone Haruka can be proud of like that someday...)
An	Oh, I know! While we're at it, why don't you tell us more about why Minori's so great, Haruka?
Minori	A-An?! W-Wait, I don't think that's such a...!
Haruka	Sure, let's see... Minori's always really cheerful and has this bright smile that makes everyone around her want to do the same, including me...
Minori	W-W-W-Wait...!
Minori	H-Haruka, stop! Any more and my head'll explode!

Haruka (1)
Haruka	Crepes, pancakes, all the latest popular sweets... This place has quite the selection.
Haruka	And everything looks so delicious.
Haruka	I'm at a really good weight right now, though, so I can't give in to temptation. I'll have to pass.

Saki & Haruka (1)
Saki	Haruka, have you ever gone to karaoke? I bet you're probably too busy for stuff like that, huh?
Haruka	Not since becoming an idol, but I used to go all the time after school to do voice training for my auditions.
Saki	Voice training? That makes sense. So, in other words, you've never just gone with friends to have fun.
Saki	In that case, let's get a group of friends together to go sing today!
Haruka	A group of friends? That sounds nice. Thanks, Saki.

Minori & Haruka (1)
Minori	Here's your crepe, Haruka! To be honest, I was a little surprised when you invited me out to eat.
Haruka	This is my all-time favorite crepe from this shop, but it's only available for a limited time every year.
Minori	Oh? Well it must be really good for you to break your usual dietary restrictions.
Haruka	Hehe. I can personally guarantee that. And don't worry about my diet. I've been cutting back on my sugar and calories for the past month in preparation for today.
Minori	Wh-What?! The past month?! That's majorly impressive!

Minori & Haruka (2)
Minori	It smells like pizza. I think it's coming from over there.
Haruka	Oh, that's a pinsa restaurant. It's very similar to pizza, but it doesn't have nearly as many calories.
Minori	Really? I've never heard of it! Leave it to Haruka to know all about healthy foods!
Haruka	Hehe. Every once in a while, I get a craving for pizza or hamburgers, so I've done a lot of research.
Haruka	Would you like to go with me some time?
Minori	Really?! Absolutely!

Minori & Haruka (3)
Minori	Oh, this store...!
Haruka	We've been here before. The cream puffs were really good...
Minori	Y-Yeah...
Minori	(Haruka ordered two of everything for us that time, but I couldn't finish it all and ended up up giving the rest to her...)
Minori	Oh, there's a waffle store too!
Haruka	There is... Shall we take a look?
Minori	Really?! Okay, let's go!
Footsteps
Minori	Wow, so many different kinds...! Uh oh! This means...!
Haruka	Excuse me. Can we get two of each, please?
Minori	I was right! H-Haruka?! I can't eat that much...!

Minori & Haruka (4)
Minori	Hey, Haruka! Look! The dog plushie in that claw machine's so cute!
Haruka	Oh, you're right. It's apparently from their Fluffy Plushy series...
Minori	I wish I had one. I bet it's really soft and comfy. But, I already have Samo at home and it actually looks really hard to get.
Haruka	All very true. It's better that we not waste our money and... Oh...
Minori	Haruka?
Haruka	Th-There's a penguin behind the dog... I-It's adorable...!
Haruka	But there's no way anybody could get it from where it's sitting... Oh well...
Minori	Actually, someone who works here might be able to help you with that. Wanna give it a try...?
Haruka	Th-They can do that?! M-Maybe just a quick try...
Minori	Okay! I'll go find someone right now!

Minori & Haruka (5)
Minori	Look, Haruka! They're having a flower festival!
Haruka	Yeah, they have so many different kinds of flowers all lined up. I had no idea that they were holding this sort of event.
Haruka	Oh, that blue flower... I remember receiving a big standing bouquet of them once.
Minori	Wow, they're so cute! And such a pretty blue. Like a clear sky!
Haruka	Yeah. They're supposed to symbolize something really nice too... But I forget what...
Minori	Wanna ask Ichika? She might be able to tell us if we send her a picture of them.
Haruka	Oh, that's right. Hoshino knows a lot about flowers. Hehe. I might just ask her later.

Haruka & An (1)
An	You're probably not interested in buying any of the clothes around here, huh? It's still a little weird to always see you dressed so properly.
Haruka	What's that mean?
An	Hahaha. Well, in elementary and middle school, you were always competing in silly contests to see who could run faster or eat their entire lunch first.
Haruka	I remember. Other than grades, you always put up a good fight.
An	Ngh... Was that an attempt at a comeback?
Haruka	Not at all, I was simply stating a fact.

Haruka & An (2)
Haruka	Come to think of it, didn't we used to verse each other at game centers a lot?
An	Yeah, we totally did! I remember us playing fighting games, but I also remember trying to see who could get the most snacks out of those claw machines!
Haruka	Me too. And if I recall correctly, we usually just ended up going after the snacks we wanted most during those contests.
An	I know, right?! We used to trade what we got with each other too!
Haruka	All this talk is making me want to play something now. Shall we...?
An	Yeah, let's go!

Haruka & Emu (1)
Emu	Okay, maybe I'll go that-a-way next?
Haruka	Otori? Hello there. Where are you going?
Emu	Hi, Haruka! I'm currently in the middle of an epic neighborhood exploration quest♪
Haruka	Neighborhood exploration?
Emu	Yup! An exciting quest where I look for things in the neighborhood I've never seen before! I'm completely addicted to it!
Haruka	That does sound like fun. I need to run some errands in that direction myself, so do you mind if I join in as well?
Emu	I don't mind! Tat-tat-tadah♪ Haruka has joined the party!
Haruka	Hehe, thanks for having me.

Haruka & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Hey, Haruka! Are you out shopping today?
Haruka	Yes, I'm here to look for some new training shoes. I really liked how my old ones were designed, so I'm hoping to find something similar.
Mizuki	Oh, those are so cute! The blue lines and laces suit you so well too!
Haruka	Thank you. Then, I think I'll go with these. Let's see... Eight pairs should do it.
Mizuki	What?! Y-You really need that many?
Haruka	Yes. I'll use some for running and others for dancing, but I usually wear them out within a month.
Haruka	Which is why I usually try to buy up many as I can if I really like how they're designed.
Mizuki	I see... I guess knowing that your favorite shoes are on your feet would be a good source of motivation!
Mizuki	(Still, I can't believe that each pair won't last even a month...)
Mizuki	(That's a former A-list idol for you...! Her training regimen must be absolutely grueling.)

Ichika, Saki & Haruka (1)
Saki	Penguin♪ Penguin♪ Penguin, penguin♪
Haruka	Hehe. You seem awfully happy, Tenma.
Ichika	She's been dying to go to the Penguin Cafe so...
Haruka	Right. I've been meaning to go with her too since she was the one who told me that this place existed.
Haruka	Oh, before we do go... There's something you both need to know.
Saki	Sure, what's up?
Haruka	Well... The second I step through the doors, I may sort of lose control of myself. Just fair warning...
Saki	That means this place is so good that even the great Haruka Kiritani can't help but act like a little kid! I can't wait to see this place!
Ichika	Hehe. I'm not sure that's quite what she meant.
Saki	I know. I was just kidding♪
Saki	It just means that we'll get to see a side of you that we don't normally get to, right? That might actually be even better!
Haruka	Right. And this is a special service because you're my friends.
Saki	Yay! You hear that, Ichi? Special service♪
Ichika	Okay, okay. I understand that you're happy, but you need to be more careful about where you're walking.
Saki	What?! No fair! I know you're just as excited as I am, Ichi!
Haruka	Hehe...

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Hey, Haruka! Airi! Look! There's a kitten.
Airi	Oh, it's a cute little calico!
Haruka	Are you going to be all right, Airi? You're allergic to cats, aren't you?
Minori	Oh, that's right! Are you okay, Airi?!
Airi	I'm allergic, but I just end up with itchy eyes and a runny nose. Besides, we're not really close enough for it to affect me.
Minori	Oh, thank goodness.
Airi	Thanks for worrying about me so much, Minori! You too, Haruka!
Airi	Ha... Why do cats have to be so cute, though? It's so unfair that I can't pet them.

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh, that truck that just passed... Was the photo on the side that idol group that recently debuted?
Haruka	Yes, it must be an advertising truck. It was playing their music.
Minori	That reminds me. I always wanted to get a video of the ASRUN advertising truck back when Haruka was still in the group.
Minori	I used to look for sightings of it on social media to try and track it.
Shizuku	Hehe. I bet if you told past Minori that she'd be practicing to be an idol with Haruka one day, she'd be super surprised.
Minori	Oh my gosh, yeah! I bet my heart would stop!
Haruka	Your metaphors never sound like metaphors, but I bet if that happened, we'd freak out as well.

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	There sure are a lot of dessert shops around here.
Haruka	That shop is quite popular for its vanilla ice-cream. The crepe shop next to it has a special discount once a month.
Minori	Wow, you know a lot about them.
Haruka	I've done research on all the places I'd like to go. I still haven't had the chance yet, though.
Shizuku	Is that because you're always careful with what you eat?
Haruka	Yes. One of these days, I'm going to treat myself by trying a bunch of these shops.
Minori	Let's all come back together when you do!

Shiho, Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Oh, Shiho! What a coincidence!
Shiho	Huh? Shizuku said that you were all going out together today. Hold on, does this mean that she...
Airi	Yeah, she's lost somewhere. She even just sent us a message saying that she's running late.
Shiho	Well, at least she let you know...
Haruka	But oddly enough, she sent a Thank You stamp right after that.
Minori	Hmm... If only she knew how to use her map or GPS...
Airi	Hey, I tried teaching her to absolutely no avail. She just runs around in circles just trying to figure out which direction to face.
Shiho	Geez...
Haruka	Then why don't we just call her? That's probably our best option at this point.
Airi	Yeah, let's do that.
Shiho	I'm so sorry about all this...
Airi	Hehe. It's all good! Just leave her to us!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	I'm glad everyone could make it today.
Shizuku	I've been really looking forward to going out together too.
Airi	So much so that you've been spamming me with messages about it late at night.
Shizuku	Yeah, I was very excited for today.
Airi	I get that, but I was just trying to get some sleep, you know? But every time I tried to end the conversation, you just kept dragging it out.
Shizuku	Really? You kept replying, so I thought you wanted to talk more...
Haruka	Hehe, that's so like Airi. She's too polite to just leave you hanging.
Minori	Haha, totally.
Minori	Oh, by the way! We haven't created a group chat for us yet!
Haruka	We should do that. It'd be useful for communicating stuff like where and when we're meeting.
Shizuku	That's a great idea! We can always stay in touch! It'll be fun chatting with you all tonight.
Haruka	Hehe... We're all here right now, but you're already thinking about chatting with us online later?
Minori	It'll be great! We'll get to talk so much more about everything, and we can arrange when we all go to SEKAI together and all that!
Airi	That may be nice, but lack of sleep is really bad for the complexion, so I don't want to stay up too late, okay?
Minori & Shizuku	Got it!

Haruka (1)
Haruka	Oh, that penguin mug I bought a while ago is back in stock.
Haruka	I know I already have one, but it's probably getting lonely all by itself.
Haruka	Excuse me. I'll take one of these penguin mugs, please.

Shiho & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Hm? Hinomori...? Hello.
Shiho	Oh, Kiritani... Hang on... What's with the penguin plushie?
Haruka	Oh, this? I saw this at a store I was just at and sort of couldn't resist...
Haruka	It was almost like I could hear it whispering, “Take me home.” So, I decided to buy it.
Shiho	Oh, I know what you mean... That happens to me whenever a Phenny plushie catches my eye...
Haruka	You too, Hinomori?! For me, the little ones that are handmade speak to me the loudest since no two are alike.
Shiho	Yeah, I never know what to do when I see them either. Sometimes I just want to buy and take them all home.
Shiho	But that's sort of why I like choosing one and taking really good care of it.
Haruka	Me too.
Haruka	(Hehe. I didn't realize we had so much in common. Could it be that Hinomori has some plushies that mean just that much to her...?)

Minori & Haruka (1)
Minori	Haruka, it was so nice to hear that your hero's doing well even now!
Haruka	Yeah, I felt so happy after my mom showed me that article.
Minori	What if she still remembers you? How amazing would that be?!
Haruka	She probably remembers helping a little girl who got lost, but I doubt she'll recognize me.
Haruka	Especially since it sounded like it was a regular occurrence whenever she was performing in events.
Haruka	(I'm sure she's made so many other children besides me smile too.)

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	What? You've never gone shopping at the mall before?!
Haruka	No... The only time I've ever been here is for events.
Airi	W-Well I've been here for work more often than I come for fun too! I think...
Haruka	(Is this some sort of competition?)

Haruka & Airi (2)
Airi	Hey, Haruka. Are you out shopping too?
Haruka	Yeah, I came to pick up some fashion magazines. Airi, you're... Wow, that looks like a lot.
Airi	Yup. All ingredients and cookware for baking sweets!
Airi	Remember how I made that cake for Valentine's Day? I've sort of been obsessed with baking since.
Airi	I even made plans to bake something with my dad and little sister tomorrow.
Haruka	Hehe. That sounds like fun. Baking, huh...?
Airi	Oh, are you interested? I can tell you about some low-sugar recipes if you like.
Airi	You always do great whenever you cook for our streams, so it should be a piece of cake for you.
Haruka	You think so? In that case, I'd like to know more.
Airi	Okay! I'll make sure to pick out some good ones for you!

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Haruka, where do you usually buy your clothes?
Haruka	I used to have a stylist who would choose my outfits, but recently I've been doing a lot of online shopping.
Shizuku	Online shopping... I have a lot of trouble doing that.
Haruka	You do? I suppose not being able to pick up and look at the clothes yourself can be tough. Sometimes the actual item ends up being a bit different than you'd imagined, too...
Shizuku	The last time I tried, I couldn't figure out how to go back to the screen I was on before and ended up buying some things I don't remember clicking on.
Haruka	Oh, so that's what you meant...

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Minori	This dress is really cute, but they only have it in large. It's probably way too long for me.
Shizuku	As long as the shoulders fit, you should be able to get away with wearing a design like this with some heels.
Minori	Oh, that's a good idea!
Haruka	You sure came up with that solution quickly. Is that a trick you learned while modeling?
Shizuku	Yes. They asked me to wear all sorts of clothing.
Shizuku	These shoes might work. The heels aren't too high, so they'll be easier to walk in, too.
Minori	You're right! Thanks, Shizuku. I'm going to go try these on with the dress!

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	Look, there's a store for clothes made for dogs.
Haruka	It looks like it's only here for a limited time. Do you want to take a look, Minori?
Minori	Kind of, but it's always so hard finding clothes big enough for Samo.
Haruka	I guess he is pretty big, isn't he?
Minori	Yeah. Besides, the best thing about him is how fluffy he is!
Shizuku	Dressing him up would make it hard to enjoy petting him then, wouldn't it?
Minori	Exactly! It's not that I don't want to dress him up in cute clothes, but I don't want to cover up all his fluff!
Shizuku	Hehe. You must really love his fur.
Haruka	It sounds nice. I'd like to feel it one of these days.
Minori	You want to come over, then? Samo loves getting pets!
Haruka	Are you sure? Maybe I'll take you up on the offer.

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Airi, you sure bought a lot today.
Airi	That's true. I wasn't planning on buying so much, but I'm still within budget!
Haruka	Oh, you decide on a budget before going shopping?
Airi	Of course. I even have a little book where I keep track of all my spending.
Haruka & Shizuku	.....
Airi	Wh-What?! Why do you both look so surprised?!

Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Hm, this one looks good too, but the ingredients...
Haruka	You look so serious. What are you looking at?
Airi	I'm looking at facial masks to help me relax after I get out of the bath.
Shizuku	Hehe. Airi really loves her skincare and haircare.
Airi	Well I am an idol. Taking care of myself is part of the job.
Airi	Okay, I'm going with this one! Hehe, I think I might even try it out tonight.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Hm? These clothes look just like the ones you sometimes wear, don't they, Haruka?
Airi	Yeah, she's right. But they might suit Minori better in this color.
Minori	Really? Wait...! If I buy this, I'll be able to wear pretty much the same outfit as you, Haruka?!
Haruka	Hehe. Whenever you wear that, I could match you by...
Haruka	Oh, I know. What if we swapped clothes sometime? That could be fun too.
Minori	What...?!
Haruka	Some things may not work since we're not all quite the same height, but I have a feeling that our fans will really enjoy seeing us in each other's clothes.
Minori	M-M-M-Me wearing H-Haruka's clothes?!
Minori	That's way more than just matching outfits...! What if that turns me into her?!
Airi	I really doubt that's going to happen.
Shizuku	Hehe. But you might get to take a little walk in her shoes, no?
Shizuku	Oh, Airi! I'd love to try being Happy Everyday!
Airi	Huh? I guess lending you my mask is easy enough...
Haruka	Then, why don't we do this for our next stream? Hehe. We'll need to get a good assortment of outfits ready for it too.
Minori	Yeah!

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (2)
Minori	First-prize... For all of us... Alright, Minori Hanasato, it's now or never! Please!
Haruka	Oh, it's white.
Shizuku	That's too bad...
Minori	B-But!
Airi	I've never seen anyone get so hyped up about a drawing like this before... I guess that's also one of your best qualities, Minori.
Minori	Haha... First-prize was tickets to an aquarium, so I really wanted to win it... Maybe saying it out loud wasn't a good idea...
Minori	More importantly, I was hoping that we could go feed the penguins together...
Haruka	Minori, you don't have to win something like this to go to the aquarium.
Airi	She's right. Why don't we all take a day off from practice to go check it out?
Shizuku	Yes, I'd love to go feed the penguins too♪
Minori	Y-You mean it...! Thank you so much!
Haruka	Hehe. Why don't we stop by this cafe to sit down and discuss when would be best?
Airi	Yeah, let's do that!

Minori & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Oh, they have a dedicated ASRUN display.
Minori	You're right! They've got everything from their first single up to the latest albums. Oh, look! Here's a spot dedicated just to you, Haruka!
Haruka	Is it really necessary to continue to stock all this?
Minori	It just means you've still got lots of fans out there. I'm sure they'll all be thrilled when Haruka the idol makes her big return!
Haruka	I suppose so. I hope I can bring a smile to all their faces again.

Minori & Haruka (2)
Minori	Let's see. It's a new song, so it should be...! Hehehe...
Haruka	Minori, what are you doing...?
Minori	Eep! H-Haruka! I was just... I was just doing some mental rehearsals...
Minori	I mean, we have this really great song in the works, so I was just imagining how it'd look on display here as a CD.
Haruka	I see. Also, why are you peeking at it while trying to hide?
Minori	Haha... The scenario in my mind involves me hiding behind this shelf while seeing if anyone picks up our CD.
Haruka	Oh, I did the same thing when our first single went on sale. I couldn't help but peek into CD shops to see if anyone was buying our song...
Minori	What?! I-Is that true?!
Minori	Does that mean we can come see what's going on if we do manage to release a CD?!
Haruka	Hehe. Airi might turn you down, but it'd be nice to see the smiles on our fans' faces.

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Hey, I feel like I've seen the idol on this CD before. You know, from that one group...?
Haruka	They've been appearing on TV more and more lately. I remember the lead for that group being rather outspoken, but charming at the same time...
Airi	Outspoken but charming... Oh, I remember now!
Airi	They stormed out of an audition I was in after the interviewer asked all these really nasty questions!
Haruka	Wow... Sounds like a very headstrong person...
Airi	I know, right? I didn't expect them to make it as an idol at first, but I guess they found a better agency...
Haruka	Yeah, maybe.
Airi	Hehe. I'm gonna pay homage to them by buying this CD!

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	This group has been getting a lot of attention lately. Wow, their dancing is so intense.
Haruka	Their voices don't seem to be strained at all, either. They must do a lot of stamina training.
Shizuku	You're right. We could learn a lot from them. Hm? Haruka?
Haruka	Minori's singing has been improving a lot lately. Perhaps we should try focusing more on strength training as a group and start raising the bar.
Shizuku	Hehe. Haruka's already making plans.

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Haruka! Airi! Look at the cover of this album! Isn't it the coolest?!
Haruka	It sure is. It almost doesn't feel like an idol group's CD.
Airi	Yeah. It's not often you see one without a picture of the members on the front.
Airi	I wonder if they did it like that to appeal to people who don't really care for idol groups.
Minori	That would make sense. Won't a lot of fans be disappointed about not getting a picture of their favorite idols in costume, though?
Airi	I doubt that's a problem. A lot of groups that do this release two versions with different cover art.
Minori	Oh! Let's see if we can find the other one, then. I wonder what it looks like.
Haruka	(Hehe. These two sure are enthusiastic about this sort of thing. I guess they are fans, after all.)

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh? This looks like idol merchandise. I wonder what it is. It seems to be a case for something long and thin.
Minori	That's a silver tape holder! You use them to save the streamers that get shot out during concerts.
Haruka	Now that you mention it, I remember signing some of those streamers in the past.
Shizuku	You mean there are fans who pick them up and save them?
Minori	Yep! Those streamers are a great way to remember all the concerts you've been to!

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Minori	Oh, they have a concert merchandise section!
Haruka	You're right. I see some towels and a whole lot of hand fans. Everyone always brings stuff like this to shows.
Shizuku	Yes. There were quite a few people who would bring their own home-made fans as well.
Minori	That's because hand fans are the perfect way to express your feelings! You use all your fan knowledge when making them.
Minori	I remember making a bunch of different fans for Haruka.
Haruka	What? For me?
Shizuku	Hehe. I'd be curious to see what sort of fans you made.

Minori, Haruka, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	And to your right, everyone, is the Phoenix Coaster!
Airi	Yes, we can see that for ourselves. Also, you're just reading off what's written on that sign, aren't you?
Shizuku	Minori seems so excited.
Haruka	She has been looking forward to going to PXL together for a while now.
Airi	I get that, but isn't this supposed to be a nice, relaxing trip? You know, since the Fan Festival is finally over?
Shizuku	That's true too. I hope being our guide like this isn't putting too much of a strain on her.
Haruka	I don't think it is... I mean, look
Minori	Hehe. Kohane and I even made a special guidebook just for a day like today, so I want everyone to have as much fun as they possibly can!
Haruka	Hehe. She's in her own little world.
Airi	Yeah, I can see that. I guess that means we should just play along and have as much fun as we really can, huh?
Shizuku	Yes, let's!

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!”

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...!)

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!
