Alright, everyone, again.

Try to keep in mind what I just said.

Okay!

Oh, wait...!

What's up?

Based on how much time we have left, this is gonna be our final playthrough, right? So, we should have Miku and the others come listen!

Miku and the others?

Yeah! This is our last practice for the year, y'know? That means it's gonna be the year's final song!

In other words, it's our chance to thank them for everything they did for us this past year!

Right...

They have done a lot for us...

It would be nice to cap off the year by showing just how much we appreciate them.

Then, let's go get them.

Okay!

(They all sound really excited now...!)

(I mean, we should be.

We're playing together for the last time this year.)

(On top of that, Miku and the others are watching.)

(We get to show them just how much we've improved and how much we appreciate what they did for us this past year.)

(That means I need to put on the best performance I can too...!)

Phew...

Wow! That was super duper cool!

How do I put it...? That totally rocked my heart!

Yeah, it was the perfect way to cap off the year!

I agree. You weaved your individual sounds together so beautifully... It was a wonderful expression of your feelings.

Really? Thank goodness...

Through this performance, we wanted to show our appreciation for all of you.

For us?

We're standing here today because of everything that you've all done for us.

A lot happened this past year...

But you've always been there to watch over us and cheer us on. So, thank you all very much!

Girls...

Hehe. When you all put it that way, I can't help but feel moved...

I'm just glad that I was able to help a little...

Me too.

Hehe. We're looking forward to having another great year with all of you...!

Likewise.

And we're looking forward to seeing how you girls grow moving forward too.

*Sigh*

That's it. Our final practice...

I'm kinda sad that we don't have another one until the fourth.

You're sad...? We're only gonna be apart for a few days.

We won't be able to practice together for various reasons, but at least we'll be able to visit the shrine together.

Oh, right! Our shrine visit!

None of you are allowed to be late!

You have no idea how super duper excited I am about it!

Honestly, Saki, I'm more worried about you being late...

I won't be!

I do have a tendency to stay up late during New Year's, which puts me at risk for oversleeping...

But Tsukasa promised to wake me up no matter what!

Hehe. In that case, you should be fine.

Yup!

Oh, can't it just be the new year already...? They're gonna have so many fun stalls and stuff!

Yeah, they did have a bunch of different stalls set up last time.

Including ones that served ice cream.

Saki was like a kid in a candy store.

Hehe.

And she got the biggest one she could find.

B-Because it looked so colorful and yummy...!

But it was so big that we had to help you finish it.

Yeah. It was so cold...

*Sob*

I-I'm sorry, okay?!

Hehe. Why don't we stick to warm things this year?

(I'm so glad that I got to spend time with the others like this again this year...)

(We had a lot of fun, but also had to deal with some tough stuff...)

(But we made it through by sticking together...

Plus, we had Miku and the others watching over us the entire time.)

(So, I wanna keep doing my best next year... Together!)
