Wait, there's something in the air...)

Cherry blossom petals...?

Rin

Listen

Ready, you guys?
6

Miku

Listen

Yes!
Everyone's all here!
7

Rin

Listen

Great! Then, let's start our brainstorming session for our next show!
8

Luka & MEIKO

Listen

Yeah♪
9

Miku

Listen

Hehe♪
This is going to be so fun with all of us here.
10

KAITO

Listen

I agree.
Why don't we get right down to our ideas? Any thoughts regarding our next show?
11

Rin

Listen

Well, I think it should be a really fun and exciting show!
12

Len

Listen

Fun and exciting...?
Yeah, it'd be nice to put on a show that made the fans and us all feel that way.
13

Len

Listen

At the same time, we should probably choose a theme of some sort. That'll probably help us make this show as fun as it can be.
14

MEIKO

Listen

Right. Choosing a theme should also allow us to work out the finer details, all of which will be important in terms of putting on a good show.
15

Rin

Listen

Speaking of which, aren't Minori and the girls always saying that it's important to pick a theme when coming up with stream ideas?
16

Rin

Listen

So, let's start by picking a theme...! Huh?
17

Luka

Listen

Hehe. Just in the nick of time♪
18

Airi

Listen

Hey, everyone's on stage today!
19

Minori

Listen

You're right!
Their aura's so bright when they're all together...!
20

Miku

Listen

Welcome, girls!
21

Len

Listen

Why don't you join us on stage?
22

Haruka

Listen

Okay, thanks.
What were you discussing just now?
23

Rin

Listen

We were just talking about what kind of theme we should pick for our next show!
24

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, I see.
Should we go? Are we interrupting...?
25

Miku

Listen

No, not at all!
We'd love to hear your opinions as well.
26

KAITO

Listen

Yes, that'd be nice.
What do you say? Do you have some time to stick around...?
27

Minori

Listen

Yeah! We'd love to help!
28

Miku

Listen

Thank you so much, Minori!

MEIKO

Listen

Alright, I know this is a bit sudden, but got any good ideas?
30

Haruka

Listen

Hmm... A theme that can help make a show fun and exciting...
31

Airi

Listen

Yeah.
You can look at this a lot of different ways...
32

Shizuku

Listen

Oh, how about something that feels seasonal...?
33

Minori

Listen

It's spring now...
So how about a “Spring Show”...?
34

Rin

Listen

A spring show?
That sounds fun!
35

Len

Listen

Yeah, spring...
36

Len

Listen

It's a season that's all about sprouting and growth, so we could do a show that lets everyone see “a new side of us”.
37

MEIKO

Listen

Hehe. Look at you, Len.
You wrapped everything up with a nice bow♪
38

Miku

Listen

Thank you all so much!
I think we have our theme now.
39

Shizuku

Listen

Hehe. We're always glad to be of service.
40

KAITO

Listen

Alright, we'll be doing a spring show where we'll be showing everyone “a new side of us”!
41

Minori

Listen

I can't wait to see it...!
I bet it's gonna be a really exciting show!
42

KAITO

Listen

Thank you, Minori.
We'll be doing everything we can to make sure everyone enjoys it!
43

Luka

Listen

Okay, why don't we start hammering out some of the details? What would you all like to do during our spring show?
44

Rin

Listen

Oh, I know!
What if we had cherry blossom petals rain down everywhere?
45

Miku

Listen

Petals?
Yes, that'd be wonderful!
46

Rin

Listen

I know, right?
Minori told me about this time she sang under some cherry blossom trees, so I wanna try doing it too!
47

KAITO

Listen

You did, Minori?
48

Minori

Listen

Oh... You mean that time?
She's talking about when I sang under these cherry blossom trees with a couple of friends from school.
49

Minori

Listen

It was a lot of fun, and those trees were so pretty!
50

KAITO

Listen

I had no idea.
Cherry blossoms are perfect for the stage and make it just that much more fun to sing.
51

Len

Listen

Yeah, I like that idea too.
Cherry blossoms falling from the sky would make everything feel so romantic...
52

Airi

Listen

I'd love to see that too!
It'll be an amazing spectacle!
53

Rin

Listen

Thanks!
But... I kinda want an actual tree there during the show and not just petals...
54

Haruka

Listen

A cherry blossom tree?
55

Rin

Listen

Yeah!
Wouldn't it be even more romantic if we had an actual tree on stage?!
56

MEIKO

Listen

You're talking about a real tree...?
That means we'd have to carry one over somehow, right?
57

Rin

Listen

Yup! My guess is that there are so many stages around here that there's bound to be one with a cherry blossom tree!
58

Luka

Listen

I see your point, but I have a feeling we would've found it by now if it's really out there...
59

Len

Listen

Yeah...
It's a great idea, Rin, but I'm not sure if we can really put it into practice.
60

Rin

Listen

Y-You think so...?
61

Miku

Listen

Then, let's go look for it...!
62

Miku

Listen

If we don't find one, we can just go with flower petals alone. How does that sound?
63

Minori

Listen

Oh, we'll help too!
Let's go find that tree!
64

Rin

Listen

Awesome!
Thank you all so much!

65

Rin

Listen

No...
Not a single one...
66

Shizuku

Listen

All these stages but no trees.
67

MEIKO

Listen

To be fair, it's not exactly common for idols to have a tree standing in the middle of their stage during shows.
68

KAITO

Listen

As unfortunate as it is, we may have to give up on this idea.
69

Haruka

Listen

Would you like to do a show our way in addition to your other show...?
70

Rin

Listen

Huh?
71

Haruka

Listen

There might not be any cherry blossom trees here, but I thought that it'd be nice to do an after-show over there while having a little picnic.
72

Haruka

Listen

But we'll need to be discrete so that no one sees what we're doing.
73

Rin

Listen

Wait, really...?!
74

Len

Listen

That's an incredible idea.
It'd be great to give that a try.
75

Airi

Listen

Yeah! I'll throw some food together for us!
76

Shizuku

Listen

I'll help.
Hehe. I'm sure it'll be a lovely picnic.
77

Rin

Listen

You guys...
78

Rin

Listen

Okay...!
Thanks a bunch...!
79

Luka

Listen

Good for you, Rin♪
Alright, why don't we start preparing for it?
80

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, let's!
Stay tuned, everyone.
81

Rin & Minori

Listen

Okay!
82

Luka

Listen

What if we had some cherry blossoms appear on the rear display?
83

MEIKO

Listen

We could even use pink lights to make everything feel more spring-like.
84

Rin

Listen

Yeah!
85

Rin

Listen

(Everyone's being so nice about this.)
86

Rin

Listen

(For their sake, I have to make sure this show goes well!)
87

Rin

Listen

But I still think it'd be better to have an actual cherry blossom tree on stage...
88

Rin

Listen

Huh...?
There's something sparkly backstage...
89

Rin

Listen

What could it be? Did a light fall down or something?

Rin

Listen

It's round and shiny...
Oh, is it one of the new lights that KAITO was talking about?
91

Rin

Listen

It looks hot. Maybe I can prod it with... Huh?!

It's a fragment of a feeling!
