Ichika
Kusanagi, allow me to introduce you to my friends, Minori and Kohane. They'll be joining us for the Fan Festival.
Kohane
Yes, it's me...!
I didn't realize that the friend Ichika mentioned would be you, Kusanagi...!

Kohane
Yes, we do! I go to Phoenix Wonderland all the time to see the shows Kusanagi and her troupe put on...!
Nene
Anyway... Hanasato and Azusawa, right?
Again, it's nice to nice to meet the both of you.

Ichika
Yes, she has a very bright personality. So much so that she's able to cheer everyone up around her.
Kohane
She's also a very hard-working girl. Despite being in an idol group, she's the only one without any prior experience working as one.
Ichika
She's using the Fan Festival as an opportunity to grow as an idol and catch up to her groupmates.
Minori
No, that's not true at all!
It's always been my dream to become an idol. That's why I want to keep finding ways to get better at it!

Minori
The others work really hard too and have actual experience as idols on top of that...!
Nene
Seeing how determined you are has lit something inside of me too... So let's do our best, together.
Minori
Well... Singing for one, but choreographing a dance routine and learning it once it's done... There's so much to do...!
Minori
Yeah. Haruka and Airi are usually the ones who come up with our dance routines, so this will be my first time actually coming up with one on my own.
Minori
I want to do as much as I can by myself, but I've been having so much trouble wrapping my head around how to actually choreograph a dance...
Ichika
Yes, I see...
As much as I'd like to help, I don't know much about dancing or choreography.

Kohane
I've danced before in some of our performances, but I'd hardly make a suitable teacher...
Nene
Th-They do, but I'm pretty sure that what we do isn't something you'd see idols doing...
Nene
Also, I'm not the one who comes up with those dance routines. Rui... I mean, our director is a better person to ask.
Minori
That just leaves singing...
I hope practicing on my own like usual will be enough...

Kohane
They might have some advice for you, so I'll ask if they'd mind helping us during practice.
Kohane
It'll also probably be good to get a head start on this. Assuming things work out, you'll be welcome to join us for practice three days from now!
Nene
Okay, practice with my troupe will probably be four days from now, so practice with your team will come first in all likelihood...
