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...>

7
Character icon
Haruka

I believe we left quite a few comments on the table during our visit to that elementary school.

8
Character icon
Shizuku

Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to look through them since we were too busy playing with the students.

9
Character icon
Haruka

<Airi's show was so good!>

<Airi Momoi's the best!>

There's quite a few of these. Thank you, everyone.

10
Character icon
Airi

Hehe. I'm glad you all like it so much!

<Happy Everyday = Airi Momoi = Awesome!>

<I wanna see Airi do another solo show!>

12
Character icon
Minori

I couldn't agree more!

Airi's performance put a really big smile on my face too!

13
Character icon
Minori

Can you do another show for us, Airi? Just one more time, pretty please?

14
Character icon
Airi

Hey, don't drift over to their side.

15
Character icon
Minori

But...!

16

<Minori gets it.>

<Can't help but love Airi.>

<Fan first, idol second lol.>

17
Character icon
Shizuku

Hehe. They seem to be on your side now, Minori.

18
Character icon
Airi

You guys liked it that much? I don't know what to say. I couldn't be happier as an idol.

19
Character icon
Airi

Thanks, all of you!

20
Character icon
Haruka

Phew.

Great stream today, everyone.

21
Character icon
Shizuku

Yes, that was so much fun♪

22
Character icon
Shizuku

But I didn't realize that your performance went over this well with everyone that time, Airi.

23
Character icon
Haruka

Shizuku's right. It's like that stream is why we've been seeing an influx of comments for our other videos.

24
Character icon
Haruka

They must've all been so moved by your performance.

25
Character icon
Airi

Stop, you're making me blush...

26
Character icon
Minori

But it's true, Airi! You were so amazing that time!

27
Character icon
Minori

I hope I get a chance to do that on stage someday...

28
Character icon
Haruka

Hehe. I'm sure you will, Minori...

29
Character icon
Minori

Thanks, Haruka...!

I'll keep trying my best to make that a reality!

30
Character icon
Minori

(But...)

31
Character icon
Airi

♪~~~~! ~~~~!

32
Character icon
Airi

Alright, all together now!

Raise your hands in the air...!

33
Character icon
Minori

(Even if I do get that chance, will I really be able to sing and dance as well as Airi did that day...?)

The next day
34
Character icon
Minori

*Sigh*

35
Character icon
Kohane

Minori?

Is something bothering you?

36
Character icon
Minori

Huh? Oh, sorry!

I didn't mean to space out like that. Even after I promised to have lunch with you two today...!

37
Character icon
Ichika

It's okay, Minori.

I mean, all we did was trade some side dishes.

38
Character icon
Ichika

But did something happen?

39
Character icon
Minori

Uh... Well, it's about how I haven't really been able to catch up to the other idols in my group...

40
Character icon
Kohane

Really...?

41
Character icon
Minori

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...

42
Character icon
Minori

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.

43
Character icon
Minori

My singing and dancing pales in comparison to their skills, so I want to catch up as fast as I can...

44
Character icon
Kohane

Minori...

45
Character icon
Kohane

I know exactly how you feel...

I'm also the only one on my team with no prior musical experience.

46
Character icon
Kohane

I practiced as much as I possibly could to make sure I didn't hold my teammates back.

47
Character icon
Minori

I didn't know...

48
Character icon
Ichika

I'm with her, Minori.

49
Character icon
Ichika

We just performed in our very first show as a band, but it didn't go nearly as well as I expected it to...

50
Character icon
Ichika

I understand your desire to get better and improve.

51
Character icon
Minori

Kohane, Ichika...

52
Character icon
Minori

So, I'm not alone...

53
Character icon
Ichika

No, you're not.

I have a feeling that we all have some experience with that.

54
Character icon
Kohane

So if you'd like, we can try working through it together.

55
Character icon
Minori

Yeah...!

Thank you so much!

56
Character icon
Minori

By the way, how do you two practice what you need to work on usually?

57
Character icon
Kohane

Until just recently, I practiced singing at live houses and by doing street performances all on my own.

58
Character icon
Minori

What?! All on your own?!

Weren't you nervous...?

59
Character icon
Kohane

At first, yes.

But I had the least amount of experience compared to my other teammates.

60
Character icon
Kohane

That's why I decided to practice that way. In order to catch up to them as quickly as possible.

61
Character icon
Minori

I had no idea... What about you, Ichika?

62
Character icon
Ichika

I did street performances on my own too.

63
Character icon
Ichika

At first, my goal was to catch up to Shiho and learn to sing better...

64
Character icon
Ichika

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.

65
Character icon
Minori

I see... You're both so incredible.

66
Character icon
Minori

I've been relying on Haruka and the others so much, so maybe I should start practicing on my own too...

67
Character icon
Minori

But how? Where? Should I start doing street performances like you two...?

68
Character icon
Kohane

Where...? I'm not sure.

It might be good to find a place that closely resembles where you'll actually be performing.

69
Character icon
Minori

So, somewhere with a stage?

70
Character icon
Ichika

Like a live house?

71
Character icon
Kohane

But the places I usually go aren't really for idols per se...

72
Character icon
Ichika

Yeah, same with my usual spot...

73
Character icon
Minori

Hmm...

Where would be a good place?

74
Character icon
Kohane

Somewhere with a stage that's idol-friendly, and room for people to come and watch...

75
Character icon
Ichika

Oh, I know...

76
Character icon
Ichika

What about a VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?

77
Character icon
Minori

A VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival?

78
Character icon
Ichika

Yeah, here... Like one of those VIRTUAL SINGER fan appreciation events that take place around this time of year.

79
Character icon
Ichika

They're fairly big events too, so anyone can participate as long as they're even remotely involved with VIRTUAL SINGER music.

80
Character icon
Kohane

Oh, you're right...

They're all creators, producers, dancers and other similar artists.

81
Character icon
Ichika

Exactly. They're even looking for amateur singers, so this might be the perfect opportunity for you.

82
Character icon
Minori

That sounds like fun!

Especially since I love Miku so much. This really does sound like the perfect event.

83
Character icon
Kohane

I think I'd like to as well.

84
Character icon
Minori

Kohane, you too?

85
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah, I'm singing with my team right now because of VIRTUAL SINGER songs too...

86
Character icon
Ichika

I see...

87
Character icon
Ichika

Then, what if we all went to one of these Fan Festivals together?

88
Character icon
Kohane

Together...?

89
Character icon
Ichika

Yes. I've actually been watching this particular one every year.

90
Character icon
Ichika

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.

91
Character icon
Ichika

For so long, I just watched everything happen. But now, I think I have what it takes to go on that stage and sing...

92
Character icon
Ichika

S-So...

If you're both okay with it, I'd like it if we all went together.

93
Character icon
Minori

Ichika...

94
Character icon
Minori

Yeah, let's do it!

I wanna join you!

95
Character icon
Kohane

M-Me too...!

96
Character icon
Ichika

R-Really?

97
Character icon
Kohane

Yes, really...!

I understand how you feel, Ichika. Now feels like the right moment.

98
Character icon
Kohane

So I want to join you too...!

99
Character icon
Ichika

Thanks, you two.

I'll send in our application... Oh, we might want to discuss this with our groups first.

100
Character icon
Kohane

Oh, you're right.

I'll try asking my team later.

101
Character icon
Minori

Me too!

102
Character icon
Minori

But I can't wait to participate in this event together! It's gonna be so much fun!

103
Character icon
Minori

(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...)
