There's so many people here!
And it's not just the stage troupes either. Aren't some regular staff members here too...?

It was in the script, right?
This show needs everyone, including the park staff.

Thank you for gathering here at the Wonder Stage today. You have our solemn gratitude!

Hm? Is he from the Wonder Stage?
Cast
Yeah, I think so.
His name's...

Tsukasa
Tenma, written as “soaring pegasus”! Tsukasa, meaning to govern! I am Tsukasa Tenma, the soaring pegasus born to rule the showbiz world!

Cast & Staff
Huh...?
Tsukasa
I'm sure that all of you are already aware of this fact, but to reiterate, the fate of Phoenix Wonderland currently hangs in the balance!

Tsukasa
One path involves attracting younger guests to improve this park's attendance figures so that this park will survive as a business!
Tsukasa
The other path, our plan, involves making this park a welcoming place for guests of all ages and one that can make everyone who visits smile!
Tsukasa
I understand that a proper business plan is still necessary for this park to stay afloat. However, shows are also elixirs for making people grin from ear to ear...!
Tsukasa
Age and gender do not matter. It doesn't matter if you're an alien from outer space who speaks an incomprehensible language!
Tsukasa
And this park is a place that made so many people smile. It's a place that's full of precious memories.
Tsukasa
“A place that can make everyone smile.” That is why so many people used to visit! That is what everybody loved about Phoenix Wonderland!
Tsukasa
We don't have to choose between this park being loved and this park attracting as many guests as it can!
Tsukasa
If we can put on a show that makes absolutely everyone smile, then more people will surely come and visit!
Tsukasa
As long as we don't forget that...
Phoenix Wonderland will never die. It will always be able to rise from the ashes!!

Making everyone smile...
Cast
Since we're doing a show, we should at least strive to do that.
Staff
We'll do whatever we can if it means more people come to our rides...

Tsukasa
I, Tsukasa Tenma the future star, promise to bring you a magnificent show that can do everything I just said!
Emu
(I was right, grandpa! That zingy-zing feeling I got when I saw him during those interviews sent me in the right direction!)
Tsukasa
You all work day in and day out to make every guest that visits smile. Surely, we'll be able to put on an incredible performance if we all work together!
Tsukasa
But we're gonna have to give it absolutely everything we have until the curtains go up!
Cast
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone not smiling after seeing a Wonder Stage show.
Cast
Hehe.
And we're the veterans here. We can't let a kid like him hog all the fun.

(All of those who've gathered here today are at the very least of the same mind as me.)
Sakurako
(I'm sure that some people were still unsure about what we'd be doing when they first came here...)
Tsukasa
The chief director for this operation will be the Wonder Stage's own Rui Kamishiro! The singing and dancing will be led by Sakurako Seiryuin of the Phoenix Stage!

Director A
What?! I have to go all the way over there right after this part?!

Rui
Yes. It's actually doable if you go through the changing rooms here. I've even done so myself.
Director B
About the effect for this part...
What did you have in mind exactly?

Rui
We'll be using the drone I made for that. I've been making them for a long time now, so we have quite a few at our disposal.
Director B
What? You can make drones, Kamishiro?
Sakurako
Cut!
This scene is all about making dramatic revelations! Your singing needs to pack a much bigger punch than that!

Sakurako
I don't care that you're the chorus for Kusanagi. You all need to sing like you're the heroes of this show!
Sakurako
I'll be taking a look at the other teams now, Kusanagi. Make sure they get this part down!

(But... I don't know any of these people... How am I supposed to tell them what to do...?)

*Sob*... I only heard rumors about her, but Seiryuin's so hard on everyone...
Cast B
Would you mind going through that last part again, Kusanagi?

Um... I have a feeling that you're not singing as well as you usually can... Maybe...

Our normal voices...?
Okay, we can try that.

T-This robot... It was in one of their shows... I didn't know it could talk like this...!
Cast A
Excuse me! Can you tell me a little more about this part of the routine?
Cast A
Right, left, twirly-whirl and... Oh, I did it!
Cast B
Sorry! I need some help with where I need to be for this part!
Cast
I'm sorry! Do I go left and turn there?!
Cast
I need some help with some props...!
Tsukasa
But I'm destined to be a star! I'll be dealing with significantly more people than this in the future!
Tsukasa
Okay! Next, we need to check on all the rides and attractions that we'll be using for the finale!

Emu
Yup! Mr. Mascot and the others said that they had some extras in stock, so I got a bunch of them!
Tsukasa
Great, I can't wait to see them!
We'll actually be able to see a spell be cast over all of Phoenix Wonderland!

Because it always feels like a super fun day is about to end. That's why I thought it would be awesome to have things be just as sparkly and fun at night!
Tsukasa
Don't worry! I promise to make the night after our show ends as sparkly, fun and full of laughter as it can possibly be!
Tsukasa
Hah! There's no need to thank me!
I'm a future star! This is the least I can do for you!
