This year's almost over.
It went by like a flash, huh?
Yes, it did. We were able to put on quite a few shows, and got to see Tsukasa and the others grow as a troupe. A wonderful year all in all.
Yeah☆ And we got to see a bunch of really amazing shows from them too♪
Miku! Everyone!
Wonderhoy!!!
Ah, speaking of which...
Emu! You guys! Welcome♪
What brings you all here today?
Are you practicing for a show?
No, we came to say hi since the year's about to end.
Our plan is to do this again when everybody's gathered, but since you're here...
KAITO, Miku, Rin...
We appreciate everything you've done for us this past year.
Thank you all very much!
Thank you all very much!
Thank you as well. We too enjoyed everything that happened this past year.
Yeah! Let's keep doing lots and lots more fun shows next year!
Oh, speaking of which!
Are you guys gonna do a New Year's show?
Yes, of course! We already have a plan for that and just began practicing for it.
Really?! That's so cool! What's it about?
Oh, I wanna know too♪
Before we tell you, we need to introduce you to someone.
Who?
Hehe.
C'mon on over! Don't be shy!
CHOMP! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!!
Hey, it's Lion Dance Robot!
Long time no see! How have you been?
CHOMP CHOMP!
Hehe. He's very happy today because it's been so long since he last saw all of you.
Yes, while I've already had my head chomped on twice.
What?! Twice?! Oh, hang on...
You sound happy about that, Tsukasa.
Well, that's because it's a sign of good luck.
True. It's supposed to absorb all of your bad luck when it bites your head, yes?
Yes, that's right. It's also good luck in the sense that the Japanese words “bite” and “god” work as a pun.
The same goes for a “sign of good luck” and “great acting”!
Oh, you're right! Then, Lion Dance Robot chomping on you means you'll become a better actor!
Now you're just stretching your luck.
Isn't that the point of these sorts of things? Right, Lion Dance Robot?!
CHOMP! CHOMP!
Haha. He seems really happy!
Hehe. Yes, he certainly does.
He'll be starring in the New Year's show that we just mentioned, so we'd like you to wish him luck.
He will?!
So that's why you brought him here today!
CHOMP CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
Huh? Do you want to play with us?
CHOMP! CHOMP!
Yeah, let's play!
Rui, mind if we play with him?
Not at all, please do.
But I would like to introduce him to Len at some point.
MEIKO and Luka too.
We still need to thank them for what they did for us this past year.
They should be at the stage right now, so why don't we head over?
Okay☆
I bet Len's gonna love it when he sees you, Lion Dance Robot! After that, let's all play!
CHOMP! CHOMP!
