Heh heh heh... Isn't it great to be able to face the sea and say that to bring in the new year?! It's like we're experiencing the peak of our youth!
Honami
We do. We made sure to bring hand warmers and hot tea, so we should be able to stay warm until the sun rises.
Miku
<Also, I was really surprised to hear that you were all going to the beach on New Year's Day.>
Saki
Yup!
I watched this show where a group of friends went to the beach to see the first sunrise, and I thought it was such a beautiful scene!

<At the same time, you only get one chance per year to do something like this, right?>
Miku
<We're more than happy that we get to be with you like this. We can even hear the waves just fine.>

Eep... The wind's so cold...!
Let's see how much time is left until the sun's supposed to rise...

Y-Yeah...!
We left the convenience store because we saw all these people gathering. We thought that meant we'd be in for an amazing sunrise, but...

<They all have fancy cameras set up, so I have to think that they came here early to claim a good spot.>
Ichika
I think you're right.
Since we have some time, why don't we head back to the convenience store for a bit?

We'll be performing in a show here later. It'd be nice if you all stopped by to watch.
Emu
Yeah! We wanted to do some shows in a bunch of different places during New Year's, and my big sis is driving us around♪
Nene
Um so... Since it's going to be cold until the sun rises, we received permission to put on a performance while everybody waits.
Shiho
Oh, okay.
The adults might be okay with waiting quietly, but the kids do seem pretty bored.

Oh, is this what they were talking about before? The part where they'll need volunteers from the audience...?

Ichika
So this is how they wanted to interact with the audience. It's incredible how they're able to improvise a dance based on how their volunteer sings...
Tsukasanosuke
“Now, are there any others out there who would like to sing for us?! Aha...!”
Tsukasanosuke
“The young lady with the long hair. You seem like someone who can sing! What say you?!”

You can do it, Ichi! We believe in you! And if you don't feel great about doing this alone, I'll sing with you!
