It should be Azusawa's turn soon.
Kohane...!
...
Whoa, she's really cute.
Is she singing by herself?
She seems pretty nervous. You think she's gonna be okay?
(I can do this. An's out there cheering for me... I just need to sing!)
♪——! ♪————!!
Huh...?!
She's good! Like, really good!
Yeah, talk about a nice surprise...!
That's Azusawa for you...
Yeah, this should be a walk in the park for her.
Because she's the best!
She sounds even better than she did during practice!
——♪ ————♪
Whoa, Ichi's doing awesome!
It's nice to just watch from the audience like this since we're always playing together.
I know, right?! She doesn't seem nervous at all! She's just singing her heart out...!
Hehe. It must be because you went to talk to her, Shiho.
I didn't really tell her much...
Hm...?
I've heard that voice before...
When the cherry blossoms were blooming...
————♪ ————♪
Such a beautiful voice...
It's so heartwarming...
Look, everyone's waving their arms as Nene sings!
That's our songstress for you!
Hehe. Is that a tear I see in your eye, Tsukasa?
We're getting really great performances from everyone today! I'm sure you'll all agree with me on that!
Next, give it up for Minori Hanasato! Come on up!
Hey, Minori's up next!
Oh, she's the one from Airi's group. This should be good...
H-Hello, everyone! My name is Minori Hanasato! I'd like to sing you all a Miku song and give you the best performance I can today!
Yikes, she sounds way too nervous...
You can do it, Minori...!
What do you think she's gonna sing...?
Dunno, but she seems super nervous... I hope she's okay...
(So many people...!
They're all looking at me...!)
(Oh no, I'm getting scared... But...!)
(I worked so hard to get here today. I need to spread hope to everyone!)
...
————♪ ——♪
——...♪ ... —— ————♪
Oh no...!
Minori!
(No, what do I do...?!
I'm completely out of rhythm...!)
(Even after Haruka tried to cheer me up...)
(Am I just not cut out for doing this alone...?)
I admit it's natural to feel a little nervous about going up there.
However, if you succeed, you'll be able to inspire hope in all these people!
You may be going on stage alone today, but you aren't actually alone. We'll be there to cheer you on.
So whatever happens, you'll be fine. Just keep smiling like you always do, Minori.
...
(Right. I just need to keep smiling, and I should be able to inspire hope in everyone!)
——♪ ————♪
(I have the rest of the song to make up for my mistakes!)
(Listen carefully, keep facing forward...
And sing so your voice reaches everyone!)
♪————! ♪————!!
Whoa, she just...!
Turned everything around...
Yeah. Looks like what we practiced is paying off.
————♪ ——♪
(Exaggerate each move for the dance sequence...)
(Stay focused. Make each move count, including what each finger does!)
Wow, look!
Minori's so super duper sparkly now!
All thanks to my advice to her!
We should expect no less from an idol...
So bright...
...
She's gotten so much better at dancing compared to when I last saw her during a stream...!
Yeah, she looked pretty nervous at first, but she's doing awesome now! I kinda can't help but root for her!
————♪ ————♪
Did Minori just gain another level just now?
Hehe. It really is hard to look away from her.
(You can tell just how hard she worked to get here.)
I'm sure of it, Minori...
You're going to blossom into something incredible.
<That concludes today's Fan Festival. Please be sure to not forget any belongings when leaving.>
Phew...
(The quality of every performance was so high.)
(It was nice to hear music from different genres too.)
Like peering into a whole new world...
