Nene, Nene, look! We've got a huuuge audience♪
Nene
R-Really?
Emu
Yeah! Come see!
Nene
Oh...
Nene
Um... Thanks for coming to my special birthday show, everyone.
Tsukasa
Ahh, and to think we've drawn such a lovely crowd!
Isn't it wonderful, Nene?
Isn't it wonderful, Nene?
Rui
How would you like to take this time before the show to tell our audience about your hopes for the next year of your life?
Nene
Huh?!
Nene
H-Hang on... We didn't rehearse that...
Rui
What's that? I couldn't hear you
over the sound of the crowd cheering.

Nene

Tsukasa
If you need to gather your thoughts, Nene,
I'd be happy to vamp for time with a jocular presentation.

Rin
What's "jock-cue-lur" mean?
Emu
It means it'll be so funny it makes you laugh with your whole belly♪
Rui
By the way, will this "jocular presentation" be anything like
the bit you taught Emu about "Take out" versus "Takeoff"?
the bit you taught Emu about "Take out" versus "Takeoff"?
Tsukasa
Impressive, it's precisely like that! I've prepared some new material. I'd be happy to debut it for all the lovely people here!
Nene
Ugh... That seems like it could get really awkward really easily.
Tsukasa
I'll admit, there is a chance I'll do so well that
you'll find it hard to talk over the laughs.

Nene
Seriously, where is this confidence coming from?
Nene
Well... I appreciate the offer,
but let's skip the jocular presentation for today.

Tsukasa
Well, I suppose I'll keep it in my back pocket
for the next time an opportunity arises.

Emu
Now let's hear Nene's hopes and dreams♪
Rin
Yaaay♪ Gooo Nene!
Nene
Um... A little while ago, when we were part of the Phoenix Stage's special anniversary show...
Nene
I woke up to the fact that even with all the practice and effort I've put in to get to this point, I still have a long way to go.
Nene
Ever since then, the way I approach and think about rehearsal has changed.
Nene
I feel like I want to work even harder to become
the best performer I can be.
the best performer I can be.
Nene
And with that feeling, I plan to put my all into the performance
we have for you today. I hope you'll watch.
we have for you today. I hope you'll watch.
Tsukasa
That was absolutely inspired, Nene!
Rin
Yeah☆
Emu
Nene's so cooool♪
Nene
C-Come on, you guys.
Isn't it about time we get the show started?
