Let's see, where's my notebook... I thought I put it inside this box. And the magazines should at the back of the bookshelf, I think?

(I never thought the notes I kept from when I was still in QT would come in handy one day...)

Huh? The magazines aren't on the bookshelf. But I definitely put them here... Or did I store them in a box too?

Ugh... I don't even know where I put what anymore...!

Looks like I just have to sort this all out.

I'll start with this box and... Hey, this hairpiece is from one of our release events!

And the autograph on this CD! It's the one I messed up during that event!

(I was so nervous that I signed it wrong.
Hehe, sure brings back memories...)

Hmm, and this box... Ah! The idol merch that I collected a long time ago!

Which means, that CD should be somewhere around...

Here!

(Rainbow Garland... The CD by the first idol I became a fan of!)

Phew... The autograph I got during the meet and greet is still in good shape too.

(Hehe. I was a wild tomboy that got into fights every day back then, but I dressed up nicely just for that occasion.)

(I desperately kept trying to catch a glimpse of them by standing on my toes as I stood in line with my CD in hand...)

I was so nervous too... Oh, the nostalgia...

Come to think of it, I sort of felt that same excitement when I saw Rin's show.

Hehe. Between Rin and this CD, it really feels like I'm ready to restart...!

Let's do this!

Morning!

Oh, wait... It's still way too early, so of course the others aren't here yet.

(Hehe. I brought Rainbow Garland along today.)

I'll use it to do some warm-ups before the others get here.... And, play!

One, two, three, four... And turn...!

(I did this routine so many times when I was in elementary school, my body still remembers it.)

Hm? Airi?

I heard music and thought someone might be here already. Have you already started practicing?

W-Were you waiting that long...?!

Nah, I just got here a second ago.

I found an old CD while I was cleaning my room yesterday and was using some of its songs for warm-up.

Oh, I see...

Wait, Airi...!
This is Rainbow Garland, right?!

Yeah! Wait, how did you know?

Hehe. I really loved this song too♪

Really?! The truth is, the idol who sang this song was the very first idol I became a fan of.

Wow! So you really looked up to this idol!

Well... They were more of a kick-starter as opposed to how much Haruka means to you, Minori.

But because of this idol, I started to learn about and like a lot of other idols.

I see!

But yeah... If this idol never came into my life, I guess I wouldn't be here today...

Really?

Yeah. I mean, when I was little, I was always picking fights with bullies in my neighborhood.

F-Fights?!

Oh, now that you mention it... You told me something like that before when you were just starting out.

There was this boy who kept picking on Airi's little sister.

And that was why she kept getting into those fights. It's very you...

Hehe. Just so you know, I never lost! Not even once!

Haha, and that's so like you too!

Say, Airi... I'd like to try dancing to that song too. Would you mind if I joined you?

Huh? Uh, sure but...
Why?

Because it's full of fond memories for you.

Shizuku...

Yeah. And trying to learn dance moves on the spot would make for good practice too.

Right... In that case, shall we dance?

Yes! And I still remember some of it too.
I think this part was...

Something like this...?

Stop, that's not it!
You're legs and waist aren't doing anything!

Watch, okay? We're gonna do this right. First, use your waist to get into rhythm! Then you swing your arms along while moving your feet!

Wow! It looks so much more polished!

Of course it does!

Now! I hope you're all ready!
I'm not going easy on any of you!
