Virtual Live: Shiho's Birthday Show 2026

Sorry for the wait, everyone.

I just heard from Rin, and it sounds like
prep for the rooftop will take a bit longer.
Are you alright to wait?

Sure. You know, I didn't think you'd set up
a whole party space up there.
You didn't have to go that far.

But it's your birthday, you know?
We want you to have a great time.

So, Saki, we've got some time.
You want to do you-know-what?

Okay!
It's time for Funtime Waiting Time!

Funtime Waiting Time?

Yeah! Miku and I thought it up.
It's a way to have fun, even while
you're waiting for things!

Starting now, I'm Minister of Funtime!
Incidentally, Miku is the Vice-Minister.

These are Cabinet positions?

I thought I noticed you two huddling
together and whispering about something.
So you were planning this?

Hehe. Let's get right to the game.

This actually is kind of fun already.
What kind of game is it?

I'm glad you asked! Presenting...
"Make Shiho's Heart Pound! Compliment Central"!

Oh, boy.
I have a bad feeling about this.

The rules are simple! We take turns
saying things we like about Shiho!

You have to speak up within two seconds
on your turn. If you can't, you're out!
No thinking time is allowed!

Oh, that sounds fun!
I sort of want to try.

Yes, me too!

And I'm guessing I'll just have to
stay put and listen?

That's right♪
We'll all be showering you with praise,
and you get to appreciate it!

Without further ado...
"Make Shiho's Heart Pound! Compliment Central"!

Okay, I'll start!
I like how you go along with our games!

I mean, you went to the trouble
of thinking it up and all...

Just like that, you're very conscientious.
You're up, Honami.

Um... I like how much you love cute things.
You practically sparkle when you're
looking after fuzzy little animals.

Then I'll say... How you look when you're
playing your bass. Of course you're good,
but you also look so cool.

I think it's very cool how, once you've
decided on something, you always
make sure to see it through.

Yeah, yeah! You never compromise!
That's super cool of you! But you're also
caring and considerate of others!

That's true. Whenever you help me practice,
you stick with me until I'm satisfied,
no matter how long it takes.

You keep track of our practice habits,
and give us advice when we need it.
You've shaped Leo/need as it stands today.

I really respect how much effort you put
into everything you do. It makes me think
about how I could put in more work...

Okay, stop.
How much longer is this going to go?

Huh?! Oh, um, I was almost done...

No. This game's over.

Aww, why?!

Ah.
Shiho, your cheeks...

Honami.

You see? Everyone loved that.

*Sigh* That was basically torture...

Look, if we have time to goof off,
we have time to practice.

You guys are okay with that, right?
Yeah, I thought so. We're doing it.

Hehe. Let's do that, then.

Okay, here we go.
Integral!
