This audience is bigger than I was expecting...

Yes. This is an official Shibuya event, after all.

This feels so different from one of our usual shows...

Yeah, I know what you mean!
The crowd always cheers and stuff during the events we perform in, but things are so quiet here.

I'm starting to get a little nervous...

What do I do if I forget my lines...?

Oh...

I'm scared. What if we miss our cue to start playing? We might end up confusing the cast...

Deep breaths...
Huff...

(Everyone's so tense.)

(Which makes sense...
I mean, a lot of them are doing this for the first time.)

(What's the right thing to tell them in this situation?)

Don't worry!!

Huh?

Have confidence in the all the hard work you've put in until now. As long as you play the way you practiced, this show's gonna be absolutely awesome!

Your efforts are going to pay off!
Believe in yourselves!

Yes, Airi Momoi's absolutely right!
You've all come such a long way.

I know that for a fact, since I've been with you all since day one! You've all become wonderful actors!

Tenma...

In other words, instead of feeling scared or worried, we should be telling ourselves that we're gonna succeed, right?!

I agree with that.

Let's have confidence in our abilities, and give the audience a show they're going to remember!

Yeah! Let's send them all home smiling☆

(You guys...)

You're all right.

We aren't going up on that stage alone.

The cast, the band, the songwriters and everyone else...

All the people who were involved in making this show happen are by your side.

They're your friends and allies.
So, don't worry.

Kusanagi...

Right...!

Let's go out there and put on the best show ever!

Yes!
Yeah!

Our special presentation of “A Dream On A Melody”, brought to you by the planning committee, will begin momentarily.

...!
It's starting soon... I-I'm getting nervous...

Me too...

Wait, why are you guys feeling nervous?

When do we get to see the backgrounds you and the others made, Ena?

During the scene where the protagonist sneaks into town. I'm really proud of what we made, so get ready.

You helped design the costumes, right, Mizuki?

Yup!
I'm also really proud of what we made, so keep your eyes peeled♪

Oh, they're dimming the lights!

Break a leg, you guys.

*Sigh*
“I'm so bored...”

“I'm tired of sewing, playing with dolls and reading. It's all so dreary.”

“They say the outside world is full of dangers. I haven't the courage to go out, but...”

“But...”

“♪————...”

(The protagonist is feeling a mix of both fear and excitement regarding the outside world...)

(I see. So that's how she's chosen to express the feelings in this song.)

“♪————”

“♪————”

“Hehehe♪ I really love the way you sing, so I couldn't help but jump in!”

“Hehe. I also love the way you sing.”

“Do you also like this song?”

“Oh... A-Actually...
This is my first time hearing it.”

“But I do think I enjoyed it...
Now that I've heard you perform it.”

“Then, why don't I teach it to you?
We can sing it together.”

“...!
O-Okay!”

(Let's go, everyone.)

“Look over here!”

“Wh-What's over there? Wow...!”

“This is incredible! So many people are singing in the plaza...!”

(Oh... That background...)

It looks like a fun little town.

*Nod*

“Hehehe. Hello there, young lady! Aren't you just the cutest?”

“I'm a musician who loves to dance and sing! Would you like to hear me sing something?”

“You should also listen to me!
I guarantee you won't be disappointed!”

“♪————————”

“♪————~~~~~!”

(Okay, so far so good.)

(Everyone seems relaxed, their delivery sounds natural...)

(The band's putting on a wonderful performance, too. They're doing an impeccable job of showing how fun and free this town is, and how the protagonist's feelings are soaring.)

(But the hard part begins here.)

(Lulu decides that she also wants to become a musician after becoming friends with them. But the butler soon catches her sneaking out of the mansion.)

(She feels bad for making everyone worry, and decides to return to her boring old life.)

(This is your time to shine, Nene.)

“I'm so bored...
More than ever before...”

“It's as though all the color has faded from the world.”

“After all, I know how wonderful music is now. I know how it can bring joy to others...”

“But now I'll never...”

“Let us see her!”

“...!”

“That voice...
It came from outside the mansion. Could it be...?”

“They're all outside the gate!”

“The young lady will no longer be setting foot outside of this mansion. I ask that you please disperse.”

“Is that what she said?”

“Yes, she does not wish to see any of you ever again.”

“Ever again...?”

“♪————”

“Huh...?”

“That song... It's the first one I heard when...”

“Hey, can you hear me?!
Let's sing together again!”

“♪————”

“...”

“♪————~~~!”

“Are you really going to let your dream end like this?”

“I don't think you will!”

“I want to hear you sing more, Lulu!”

“But...”

“It's okay! Be brave!”

“Yes, pursuing your dream isn't easy!
Neither is staying true to your feelings.”

“But you have all of us on your side!”

“♪————————!”

(Wow...!)

(She's channeling all of her feelings into the song I wrote!)

(Thank you so much, Airi...!!)

“All of you...”

“Thank you...
For reminding me of the joy I felt when I first heard you all perform. For giving me the courage to move forward.”

“So...”

“Here's my response!”

“♪————”

(Thank you, everyone...)

(I promise to take all the feelings you've put into this show, and sing like I never have before!)

“♪————~~~”

(Kusanagi...)

Whoa...

Yeah...

“Wait, that song!”

“Wow...!”

“Yes, it's Lulu!”

“What...?!
Was that really you just now? That was so beautiful...”

“Everyone!”

“Lulu!”

“I love singing more than anything!”

“I want my songs to make everyone around the world smile...”

“That's my dream.
So...!”

“Yes, let's sing!”

“All of us. Together. Now and forever!”

“Yes!”
