Airi's Room
Airi
Sigh...
Airi
Will I really have the chance to be an idol again?
Airi
No! I can't let myself think like that!
It'll only make me feel worse!
It'll only make me feel worse!
Airi
This is exactly when I need to act more like an idol!
Airi
I need a song to pick me up...
Airi
Hehe...
Airi
This is always my favorite group to listen to when I'm feeling down. Somehow, they always manage to put a smile on my face.
Little Airi
Idols sure are amazing...
Singing, dancing, making all those people smile...
Singing, dancing, making all those people smile...
Airi's Sister
You've been watching this girl a lot lately.
Do you really like her that much?
Do you really like her that much?
Little Airi
Yeah! It's like just seeing her makes me happy. I can't help but start smiling.
Airi
Oh...
Airi
That's right...
Airi
Watching that idol shining on the TV like that always made me smile...
Airi
She's the one who gave me the motivation to keep working hard day after day.
Airi
That's also the reason I wanted to become an idol too. I wanted to help spread those feelings to even more people.
Airi
And yet...
Airi
I guess that isn't pragmatic...
Airi
Still...
I...
I...

You came to visit♪

Airi
Hi, Rin. It's been a while.
You're as energetic as ever.
You're as energetic as ever.
Rin
Of course!
Rin
I had a feeling you'd come to visit again soon! Does this mean we're all singing together again?
Airi
Oh, um, actually...
Rin
Oh, but...? Where's everyone else? Are you alone?
Airi
Um, yeah...
It's just me today.
It's just me today.
Rin
Is something wrong, Airi?
Airi
N-No, I'm...!
Airi
Sigh... There's no point in trying to act tough.
Airi
Besides, you've already seen me at my worst.
Rin
Yeah.
Rin
You're usually so full of energy, but I get worried about you when you look so upset.
Airi
Hehe. You're exaggerating.
It's not that serious...
It's not that serious...
Airi
It's just... A lot happened recently.
Rin
Like what?
Airi
Well...
Rin
I don't know what's troubling you, but I can see that it's something very important.
Airi
You can tell...?
Rin
That's easy!
I can see right through everything, you know!
I can see right through everything, you know!
Rin
Whether it's about you, everyone else who isn't here today, the weather tomorrow, even what you're going to have for dinner! I can see it all!
Airi
You're definitely making some of that up.
Rin
Oh, you got me! Hehehe♪
Airi
But...
I do feel a little better now.
I do feel a little better now.
Airi
I have something to ask you, Rin.
Rin
Me? What is it?
Airi
Can you sing me a song you think will help put a big smile on my face?
Rin
Oh, is that all? Coming right up!!
Rin
I have just the song for such an occasion!
Rin
This one's sure to make you smile and bring back the happy, energetic Airi everyone loves!
Airi
Rin...
Airi
Um... Thanks...
Rin
Alright, get ready to have some fun♪
Rin
Start the music!
