Thank you again for watching, everyone!
Sadly, our next segment will conclude this stream.
<No, it's over already?>
<Another fun stream.>
<What's next?>
Next, MMJ will be...
Replying to your comments!
We want to reply to as many of your comments as we can, and answer some questions that we couldn't get to during our other segments!
In this segment, we'll look back through some of our old videos and pick out some comments along the way.
<Awesome!>
<Best segment ever!>
<I hope they see my comments...>
I believe we left quite a few comments on the table during our visit to that elementary school.
Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to look through them since we were too busy playing with the students.
<Airi's show was so good!>
<Airi Momoi's the best!>
There's quite a few of these. Thank you, everyone.
Hehe. I'm glad you all like it so much!
<Happy Everyday = Airi Momoi = Awesome!>
<I wanna see Airi do another solo show!>
I couldn't agree more!
Airi's performance put a really big smile on my face too!
Can you do another show for us, Airi? Just one more time, pretty please?
Hey, don't drift over to their side.
But...!
<Minori gets it.>
<Can't help but love Airi.>
<Fan first, idol second lol.>
Hehe. They seem to be on your side now, Minori.
You guys liked it that much? I don't know what to say. I couldn't be happier as an idol.
Thanks, all of you!
Phew.
Great stream today, everyone.
Yes, that was so much fun♪
But I didn't realize that your performance went over this well with everyone that time, Airi.
Shizuku's right. It's like that stream is why we've been seeing an influx of comments for our other videos.
They must've all been so moved by your performance.
Stop, you're making me blush...
But it's true, Airi! You were so amazing that time!
I hope I get a chance to do that on stage someday...
Hehe. I'm sure you will, Minori...
Thanks, Haruka...!
I'll keep trying my best to make that a reality!
(But...)
♪~~~~! ~~~~!
Alright, all together now!
Raise your hands in the air...!
(Even if I do get that chance, will I really be able to sing and dance as well as Airi did that day...?)
*Sigh*
Minori?
Is something bothering you?
Huh? Oh, sorry!
I didn't mean to space out like that. Even after I promised to have lunch with you two today...!
It's okay, Minori.
I mean, all we did was trade some side dishes.
But did something happen?
Uh... Well, it's about how I haven't really been able to catch up to the other idols in my group...
Really...?
Yeah, they all have so much experience performing on stage and giving their fans hope, but I'm still pretty much stuck at square one...
I've been doing better during streams, like during talk portions, but when it comes to actually performing on stage, I still have to rely on them a lot.
My singing and dancing pales in comparison to their skills, so I want to catch up as fast as I can...
Minori...
I know exactly how you feel...
I'm also the only one on my team with no prior musical experience.
I practiced as much as I possibly could to make sure I didn't hold my teammates back.
I didn't know...
I'm with her, Minori.
We just performed in our very first show as a band, but it didn't go nearly as well as I expected it to...
I understand your desire to get better and improve.
Kohane, Ichika...
So, I'm not alone...
No, you're not.
I have a feeling that we all have some experience with that.
So if you'd like, we can try working through it together.
Yeah...!
Thank you so much!
By the way, how do you two practice what you need to work on usually?
Until just recently, I practiced singing at live houses and by doing street performances all on my own.
What?! All on your own?!
Weren't you nervous...?
At first, yes.
But I had the least amount of experience compared to my other teammates.
That's why I decided to practice that way. In order to catch up to them as quickly as possible.
I had no idea... What about you, Ichika?
I did street performances on my own too.
At first, my goal was to catch up to Shiho and learn to sing better...
But I ended up learning that there's so much more to gain from performing in front of others and how you can only make certain realizations by doing just that.
I see... You're both so incredible.
I've been relying on Haruka and the others so much, so maybe I should start practicing on my own too...
But how? Where? Should I start doing street performances like you two...?
Where...? I'm not sure.
It might be good to find a place that closely resembles where you'll actually be performing.
So, somewhere with a stage?
Like a live house?
But the places I usually go aren't really for idols per se...
Yeah, same with my usual spot...
Hmm...
Where would be a good place?
Somewhere with a stage that's idol-friendly, and room for people to come and watch...
Oh, I know...
What about a VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?
A VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?
Yeah, here... Like one of those VIRTUAL SINGER fan appreciation events that take place around this time of year.
They're fairly big events too, so anyone can participate as long as they're even remotely involved with VIRTUAL SINGER music.
Oh, you're right...
They're all creators, producers, dancers and other similar artists.
Exactly. They're even looking for amateur singers, so this might be the perfect opportunity for you.
That sounds like fun!
Especially since I love Miku so much. This really does sound like the perfect event.
I think I'd like to as well.
Kohane, you too?
Yeah, I'm singing with my team right now because of VIRTUAL SINGER songs too...
I see...
Then, what if we all went to one of these Fan Festivals together?
Together...?
Yes. I've actually been watching this particular one every year.
Being a Miku fan is what led me to this event, but I'm always amazed by how these artists shine as they sing VIRTUAL SINGER songs on that stage.
For so long, I just watched everything happen. But now, I think I have what it takes to go on that stage and sing...
S-So...
If you're both okay with it, I'd like it if we all went together.
Ichika...
Yeah, let's do it!
I wanna join you!
M-Me too...!
R-Really?
Yes, really...!
I understand how you feel, Ichika. Now feels like the right moment.
So I want to join you too...!
Thanks, you two.
I'll send in our application... Oh, we might want to discuss this with our groups first.
Oh, you're right.
I'll try asking my team later.
Me too!
But I can't wait to participate in this event together! It's gonna be so much fun!
(A VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival...!
Miku's helped me out so much already, so it'd be great to participate in an event like this...)
