This voice...

It's really Miku...

(It's working, Ichi!)

(I was a little startled when Ichika said she wanted to sing with Miku...)

(But her idea's working pretty well.)

(Obviously, we can't have Miku appear as a hologram, but everyone should think that it's a computer singing if they only hear her voice...)

(Still, this feels like...)

(Miku's supposed to be backstage with one of our phones hooked up to the sound system...)

(She's not actually here...

But...)

(It's like she's standing right next to Ichika and singing along with her.)

(I can feel her...)

(She's right next to me...!)

(Not just her voice...

It's like she's actually here singing with me.)

(I feel like I can sing better than I ever have... With Miku, I can do anything...!)

♪————

(This is so much fun...)

(The way Ichika and I are singing, the way they're playing their instruments... It's all resonating with the audience...)

(Our song is bringing us all together...)

(Ichika, Saki, Shiho, Honami...

When we first met, you were all so far apart.)

(You all cared deeply about one another, but didn't know how to express that feeling. As a result, you ended up hurting each other...)

(But you did your best to overcome all that, one step at a time. You were driven by your collective desire to be friends again.)

(I know your kindness and the hard work you've put in better than anyone else.)

(That kindness gives you all the ability to empathize with those who've been hurt. It's why so many people feel so moved by your music.)

(But you can do more...

I think you can make your message heard even louder and clearer...)

(So, let's show them what it really means to be moved by a performance!)

♪————! ♪————!!

(What's going on...?)

(The way Miku's singing...

I can feel her pulling us forward...)

(Oh, that looks like...)

(Tsukasa, Toya... Everyone...)

(They're all here and really enjoying the show... We're really getting through to them.)

(Geez, I get that they're excited...)

(But if that's what they want, then I should also...)

(Everyone who's been supporting me is here. I hope they understand how grateful I am...)

(I want to keep singing! I don't want to stop...!)

(You're doing great, girls.)

(Miku never ceases to amaze me...)

(She's able to sing such an inspiring song, drawing us in along with the audience...)

(I was starting to think I'd learned to do some of what she can... But I'm still nowhere near her...)

(No, I have to try. I want to move the hearts of the masses and express my feelings the way Miku does...!)

(If I'm going to do that as a professional musician, I need to stop writing myself off so much...!)

(I'm going to bring everyone together by singing...!)

(And someday...)

(A person who heard me sing will hopefully pay it forward and help someone else, be that through song or otherwise.)

(Just like how Miku moved my heart all those years ago... I'm bringing everyone this song...!)

(So, it's my turn...)

(To sing like Miku. To bring everyone together...!)

♪————~~~~!

♪————!!

Thank you for listening!

I hope our performance today conveyed at least some portion of our gratitude to all of you out there...

We plan to keep putting on heartfelt performances like this in the future.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!

*Sigh*

I'm back...

Nice work, Miku-P!

That was a wonderful show.

Yes, you did a remarkable job.

Thank you.

It really was fun...

At the same time, I'm sorry.

I feel bad about being the only one who got to go over.

Yeah!

You gotta let me go if they decide to do something like this again!

Still, you and the girls put on such an incredible performance.

Yes...

At times, it was Ichika who was pulling me along as we sang.

And I could feel her determination slowly come to the surface...

I felt that as well...

It became clear that she wants to bring as many people together as she can through singing.

That determination is sure to take Leo/need far.

Yes, I agree...

I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them.

Wow, that was so much fun!

Hehe. Yes, it was. It felt so great to share all that energy with the audience throughout our show.

Yeah. In terms of getting our message across to a crowd, this was probably our best performance yet.

Oh, you hear that?! Shiho's giving us her seal of approval!

...

Huh? Ichi, what's wrong?

Oh, um...

My mind's just wandering a bit. I don't think I've fully realized that our show's over.

You really went above and beyond today, Ichika.

Especially when you sang with Miku.

Yeah, definitely!

Hehe. While I was watching you during the show, Ichi, you reminded me of when we were little.

When we were little?

Yeah, when we first started our band!

Your eyes totally sparkled every time you sang a Miku song.

Oh... R-Really?

Hehe. She's right...

I remember how you barged into our classroom and exclaimed, “We should play Miku songs together!” You were so excited.

In that sense, Miku alone didn't bring us together... You were just as instrumental, Ichika...

What...?

Yeah...

And we ended up playing together the first time we were all in SEKAI because of what you said back then.

I believe we're standing here today because of what you did all those years ago.

Shiho...

Come to think of it, Ichika, you've always been that way. Ever since we were little...

This all reminds me of how whenever we got into a big argument over something...

Oh, like the ones Shiho and I had!

Ichi would always jump in and do her best to get us to stop fighting!

Well, to be fair, Ichika would usually jump in without much of a plan, and Honami would come up with a compromise for us.

But every time you stumbled around trying to get us to stop, Ichika, we'd end up seeing how pointless our arguments were...

So, I agree...

You've been the glue that holds us together.

All of you...

Wait, did you see that streak of light?!

Shooting stars...

Whoa...

We can already see them this clearly...

We got to put on an amazing show...

And now we get to see shooting stars on the way home...

This feels like a dream...

Hey, everyone...!

We should watch this show together!

Yeah, let's go find a place with a better view.

Oh, since we're here...

That place should actually be pretty close.

What place...? Oh, right!

Nice catch, Hona!

Let's go!

Oh, there's another one...!

I had a feeling this park would give us the best view.

They really are beautiful...

Yeah...

Oh, hehe...

My wish came true...

Yeah... Hanging out, talking and seeing a meteor shower on our way home...

You said you wanted us to be together like this forever...

Yeah...

And I also wished for this the day before I was given the okay to go back to school.

I really wanted us to see a meteor shower like this again someday.

I'm really glad that my wish came true...

Saki...

Oh, there's another one...

Why don't we make the same wish again? For all of us to stay together for good.

Oh... Yeah...!

The four of us. Together. Forever and ever!

So that we get to see lots more meteor showers like this!

Please make it come true!

(Me too...)

(I also want us to stay together...)

(Oh...)

(No, I won't just wish for that...)

(Miku's brought so many people together...)

(Including us. We were given the push we needed to rekindle our friendship...)

(I want to do the same for Leo/need.)

(And in order to do that...)

(I'm going to keep singing.)
