What do I want to convey with my outfit...?
Hehe. Despite there being so many idol outfits, putting one on always feels like a transformation process.
A transformation process?
That's right♪
Like I'm turning into a different me...
Someone who sparkles and is capable of doing anything.
Someone who sparkles and is capable of doing anything... Hehe. I think I understand what she meant by that.
Speaking of which, I remember when...
One, two, three, four...
Shizuku, you were late on that turn...!
I-I'm sorry!
Now you're going too early!
Stay in sync with everyone else!
Okay...!
Good work, everyone.
We're finally moving as a unit.
Our first show is next week, so let's perfect this until then.
Okay!
One, two, three, four...!
No, I keep getting stuck there...
...
Again...
(I don't have any time left until our show...! I need to learn how to do this dance as soon as I can!)
(I don't want to be the one that holds everyone back...!)
Shizuku, what are you doing up so late...?
Oh...
One, two, three, four...!
(Maintain your focus through the last turn and... Stop!)
...!
Huff... Huff...
I did it... Not a single mistake...!
Thank goodness...
Alright, I should go through it once more before I forget what I just did.
One, two, three, four...!
We get to try on our stage outfits today...
(Not long after this, we'll be doing our show...)
...
Everything okay, Shizuku?
Y-Yes...!
I think I'm just a little nervous.
I don't blame you. After all, this is gonna be your first show since joining Cheerful * Days. There's gonna be a lot more people compared to when you were still in training...
But you'll be fine.
You've been working so hard every day.
Thank you...
Here are your stage outfits, everyone.
They've each been tailor-made, so be sure you find the one that's actually yours.
Okay!
Oh...
Wow, these are so cute!
With a nice hint of sophistication too!
Yeah, I can't wait to put mine on!
It's absolutely adorable...!
(I really get to dance on stage while wearing this...?)
Hey, let's try ours on too!
Yes, let's...!
Wow...
Is this really me...?!
It looks amazing on you, Shizuku!
It does...?
Yeah, you look gorgeous!
It might be your first show, but you're probably gonna be the most like an idol out of all of us.
Y-You think so...?
...
(Like an idol...)
(Right. I'm not just Shizuku Hinomori anymore. I'm Shizuku Hinomori of Cheerful * Days.)
(I'm an idol now. I have to learn to spread and inspire hope in our fans.)
(This is it...
No mistakes. Our fans won't have any of it...)
(I practiced as much as I could. I know each song and dance routine now. Airi even said she'd be coming, so I need to help make this show a success...!)
...
(I'll be okay. I'm an idol now!)
Here we go!
O-Okay!
Hello, everyone.
My name is Shizuku Hinomori!
I promise to sing and dance with everything I have today, so we hope you enjoy the show!
(This is incredible. I feel so light on my feet...!)
(It's like I can dance through all the parts that have been giving me so much trouble with little effort....!)
(Almost like someone cast a spell on me...)
...!
(So much cheering...!
I've never heard these kinds of roars before...)
(They're really here to see me perform.
Shizuku Hinomori the idol...!)
(I don't want to disappoint them.
I want to learn how to spread hope to all of them...!)
(I can't honestly say if I'll be able to accomplish such a feat...)
(But I have a feeling I can as long as I'm donning this outfit. Because I'm Shizuku Hinomori the idol...!)
(I have to do everything I can to put smiles on all their faces...!)
Huff... Huff...
Thank you all so much!
This show's just getting started, so please enjoy what we have in store for you!
