Shizuku's Room
1
Shizuku
What do I want to convey with my outfit...?
2
Miku
Hehe. Despite there being so many idol outfits, putting one on always feels like a transformation process.
3
Shizuku
A transformation process?
4
Miku
That's right♪
5
Miku
Like I'm turning into a different me...
Someone who sparkles and is capable of doing anything.
6
Shizuku
Someone who sparkles and is capable of doing anything... Hehe. I think I understand what she meant by that.
7
Shizuku
Speaking of which, I remember when...
A few years ago
Cheerful * Days Theater
8
Leader
One, two, three, four...
Shizuku, you were late on that turn...!
9
Shizuku
I-I'm sorry!
10
Leader
Now you're going too early!
Stay in sync with everyone else!
11
Shizuku
Okay...!
12
Leader
Good work, everyone.
We're finally moving as a unit.
13
Leader
Our first show is next week, so let's perfect this until then.
14
Shizuku & Group Members
Okay!
15
Shizuku
One, two, three, four...!
16
Shizuku
No, I keep getting stuck there...
17
Shizuku
...
18
Shizuku
Again...
19
Shizuku
(I don't have any time left until our show...! I need to learn how to do this dance as soon as I can!)
20
Shizuku
(I don't want to be the one that holds everyone back...!)
21
Shiho
Shizuku, what are you doing up so late...?
22
Shiho
Oh...
23
Shizuku
One, two, three, four...!
24
Shizuku
(Maintain your focus through the last turn and... Stop!)
25
Shizuku
...!
26
Shizuku
Huff... Huff...
I did it... Not a single mistake...!
27
Shizuku
Thank goodness...
28
Shizuku
Alright, I should go through it once more before I forget what I just did.
29
Shizuku
One, two, three, four...!
A few days later
Cheerful * Days Theater - Green Room
30
Shizuku
We get to try on our stage outfits today...
31
Shizuku
(Not long after this, we'll be doing our show...)
32
Shizuku
...
33
Select Member A
Everything okay, Shizuku?
34
Shizuku
Y-Yes...!
I think I'm just a little nervous.
35
Select Member A
I don't blame you. After all, this is gonna be your first show since joining Cheerful * Days. There's gonna be a lot more people compared to when you were still in training...
36
Select Member B
But you'll be fine.
You've been working so hard every day.
37
Shizuku
Thank you...
38
Manager
Here are your stage outfits, everyone.
They've each been tailor-made, so be sure you find the one that's actually yours.
39
Select Members
Okay!
40
Shizuku
Oh...
41
Select Member B
Wow, these are so cute!
With a nice hint of sophistication too!
42
Select Member C
Yeah, I can't wait to put mine on!
43
Shizuku
It's absolutely adorable...!
44
Shizuku
(I really get to dance on stage while wearing this...?)
45
Select Member A
Hey, let's try ours on too!
46
Shizuku
Yes, let's...!
47
Shizuku
Wow...
Is this really me...?!
48
Select Member A
It looks amazing on you, Shizuku!
49
Shizuku
It does...?
50
Select Member B
Yeah, you look gorgeous!
It might be your first show, but you're probably gonna be the most like an idol out of all of us.
51
Shizuku
Y-You think so...?
52
Shizuku
...
53
Shizuku
(Like an idol...)
54
Shizuku
(Right. I'm not just Shizuku Hinomori anymore. I'm Shizuku Hinomori of Cheerful * Days.)
55
Shizuku
(I'm an idol now. I have to learn to spread and inspire hope in our fans.)
The day of her first show
56
Shizuku
(This is it...
No mistakes. Our fans won't have any of it...)
57
Shizuku
(I practiced as much as I could. I know each song and dance routine now. Airi even said she'd be coming, so I need to help make this show a success...!)
58
Shizuku
...
59
Shizuku
(I'll be okay. I'm an idol now!)
60
Leader
Here we go!
61
Shizuku
O-Okay!
62
Shizuku
Hello, everyone.
My name is Shizuku Hinomori!
63
Shizuku
I promise to sing and dance with everything I have today, so we hope you enjoy the show!
64
Shizuku
(This is incredible. I feel so light on my feet...!)
65
Shizuku
(It's like I can dance through all the parts that have been giving me so much trouble with little effort....!)
66
Shizuku
(Almost like someone cast a spell on me...)
67
Shizuku
...!
68
Shizuku
(So much cheering...!
I've never heard these kinds of roars before...)
69
Shizuku
(They're really here to see me perform.
Shizuku Hinomori the idol...!)
70
Shizuku
(I don't want to disappoint them.
I want to learn how to spread hope to all of them...!)
71
Shizuku
(I can't honestly say if I'll be able to accomplish such a feat...)
72
Shizuku
(But I have a feeling I can as long as I'm donning this outfit. Because I'm Shizuku Hinomori the idol...!)
73
Shizuku
(I have to do everything I can to put smiles on all their faces...!)
74
Shizuku
Huff... Huff...
75
Shizuku
Thank you all so much!
This show's just getting started, so please enjoy what we have in store for you!
