We want to reply to as many of your comments as we can, and answer some questions that we couldn't get to during our other segments!
Minori
In this segment, we'll look back through some of our old videos and pick out some comments along the way.

Haruka
I believe we left quite a few comments on the table during our visit to that elementary school.
Shizuku
Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to look through them since we were too busy playing with the students.
Haruka
<Airi's show was so good!>
<Airi Momoi's the best!>
There's quite a few of these. Thank you, everyone.

I couldn't agree more!
Airi's performance put a really big smile on my face too!

Minori
Can you do another show for us, Airi? Just one more time, pretty please?
Airi
Hey, don't drift over to their side.
Minori
But...!
Comment
<Minori gets it.>
<Can't help but love Airi.>
<Fan first, idol second lol.>

Shizuku
Hehe. They seem to be on your side now, Minori.
Airi
You guys liked it that much? I don't know what to say. I couldn't be happier as an idol.
Airi
Thanks, all of you!
Haruka
Phew.
Great stream today, everyone.
Great stream today, everyone.
Shizuku
Yes, that was so much fun♪
Shizuku
But I didn't realize that your performance went over this well with everyone that time, Airi.
Haruka
Shizuku's right. It's like that stream is why we've been seeing an influx of comments for our other videos.
Haruka
They must've all been so moved by your performance.
Airi
Stop, you're making me blush...
Minori
But it's true, Airi! You were so amazing that time!
Minori
I hope I get a chance to do that on stage someday...
Haruka
Hehe. I'm sure you will, Minori...
Minori
Thanks, Haruka...!
I'll keep trying my best to make that a reality!
I'll keep trying my best to make that a reality!

(But...)
Airi
♪~~~~! ~~~~!
Airi
Alright, all together now!
Raise your hands in the air...!
Raise your hands in the air...!
Minori
(Even if I do get that chance, will I really be able to sing and dance as well as Airi did that day...?)
The next day
Minori
*Sigh*
Kohane
Minori?
Is something bothering you?
Is something bothering you?
Minori
Huh? Oh, sorry!
I didn't mean to space out like that. Even after I promised to have lunch with you two today...!

Ichika
It's okay, Minori.
I mean, all we did was trade some side dishes.
I mean, all we did was trade some side dishes.
Ichika
But did something happen?
Minori
Uh... Well, it's about how I haven't really been able to catch up to the other idols in my group...
Kohane
Really...?
Minori
Yeah, they all have so much experience performing on stage and giving their fans hope, but I'm still pretty much stuck at square one...
Minori
I've been doing better during streams, like during talk portions, but when it comes to actually performing on stage, I still have to rely on them a lot.
Minori
My singing and dancing pales in comparison to their skills, so I want to catch up as fast as I can...
Kohane
Minori...
Kohane
I know exactly how you feel...
I'm also the only one on my team with no prior musical experience.
I'm also the only one on my team with no prior musical experience.
Kohane
I practiced as much as I possibly could to make sure I didn't hold my teammates back.
Minori
I didn't know...
Ichika
I'm with her, Minori.
Ichika
We just performed in our very first show as a band, but it didn't go nearly as well as I expected it to...
Ichika
I understand your desire to get better and improve.
Minori
Kohane, Ichika...
Minori
So, I'm not alone...
Ichika
No, you're not.
I have a feeling that we all have some experience with that.
I have a feeling that we all have some experience with that.
Kohane
So if you'd like, we can try working through it together.
Minori
Yeah...!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Minori
By the way, how do you two practice what you need to work on usually?
Kohane
Until just recently, I practiced singing at live houses and by doing street performances all on my own.
Minori
What?! All on your own?!
Weren't you nervous...?
Weren't you nervous...?
Kohane
At first, yes.
But I had the least amount of experience compared to my other teammates.
But I had the least amount of experience compared to my other teammates.
Kohane
That's why I decided to practice that way. In order to catch up to them as quickly as possible.
Minori
I had no idea... What about you, Ichika?
Ichika
I did street performances on my own too.
Ichika
At first, my goal was to catch up to Shiho and learn to sing better...
Ichika
But I ended up learning that there's so much more to gain from performing in front of others and how you can only make certain realizations by doing just that.
Minori
I see... You're both so incredible.
Minori
I've been relying on Haruka and the others so much, so maybe I should start practicing on my own too...
Minori
But how? Where? Should I start doing street performances like you two...?
Kohane
Where...? I'm not sure.
It might be good to find a place that closely resembles where you'll actually be performing.

Minori
So, somewhere with a stage?
Ichika
Like a live house?
Kohane
But the places I usually go aren't really for idols per se...
Ichika
Yeah, same with my usual spot...
Minori
Hmm...
Where would be a good place?
Where would be a good place?
Kohane
Somewhere with a stage that's idol-friendly, and room for people to come and watch...
Ichika
Oh, I know...
Ichika
What about a VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?
Minori
A VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?
Ichika
Yeah, here... Like one of those VIRTUAL SINGER fan appreciation events that take place around this time of year.
Ichika
They're fairly big events too, so anyone can participate as long as they're even remotely involved with VIRTUAL SINGER music.
Kohane
Oh, you're right...
They're all creators, producers, dancers and other similar artists.
They're all creators, producers, dancers and other similar artists.
Ichika
Exactly. They're even looking for amateur singers, so this might be the perfect opportunity for you.
Minori
That sounds like fun!
Especially since I love Miku so much. This really does sound like the perfect event.

Kohane
I think I'd like to as well.
Minori
Kohane, you too?
Kohane
Yeah, I'm singing with my team right now because of VIRTUAL SINGER songs too...
Ichika
I see...
Ichika
Then, what if we all went to one of these Fan Festivals together?
Kohane
Together...?
Ichika
Yes. I've actually been watching this particular one every year.
Ichika
Being a Miku fan is what led me to this event, but I'm always amazed by how these artists shine as they sing VIRTUAL SINGER songs on that stage.
Ichika
For so long, I just watched everything happen. But now, I think I have what it takes to go on that stage and sing...
Ichika
S-So...
If you're both okay with it, I'd like it if we all went together.
If you're both okay with it, I'd like it if we all went together.
Minori
Ichika...
Minori
Yeah, let's do it!
I wanna join you!
I wanna join you!
Kohane
M-Me too...!
Ichika
R-Really?
Kohane
Yes, really...!
I understand how you feel, Ichika. Now feels like the right moment.
I understand how you feel, Ichika. Now feels like the right moment.
Kohane
So I want to join you too...!
Ichika
Thanks, you two.
I'll send in our application... Oh, we might want to discuss this with our groups first.

Kohane
Oh, you're right.
I'll try asking my team later.

Minori
Me too!
Minori
But I can't wait to participate in this event together! It's gonna be so much fun!
Minori
(A VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival...!
Miku's helped me out so much already, so it'd be great to participate in an event like this...)
