Thank you for waiting! It's time to start Shizuku's birthday fan meeting!

Thank you for coming today. Let's all have a wonderful time together!

Without further ado, let's begin our first segment♪

"Just For You: Birthday Fan Letters!"

You might guess from the name, but we're going to read out some letters sent in from fans to Shizuku!

We'll begin with this one from K.H., who attends a high school in Shibuya.

"Dear Shizuku Hinomori, best wishes on your birthday!"

"Seeing you inspire hope in your fans as an idol, while still being true to yourself, is a great source of encouragement for me."

"Please continue to be such an encouraging role model."

I'm just stunned and pleased to hear such lovely words from you! Thank you very much, Haruka!

*Cough*

Many thanks to K.H. for their lovely fan letter! I'll read the next one!

"Dearest Shizuku Hinomori, happy birthday! I took the liberty of putting together a present just for you."

"Everything looks good on you, so I didn't need to worry whether this would suit you. It's not so much a 'design' as just a pattern, but I put a lot of thought into it."

"If you like it, you can wear this when it gets cold out. From your adoring fan, M.A."

Oh my, Airi! I heard that you'd begun knitting recently from our classmates, but is that...?

For crying out loud, you're ruining the idea behind the segment! It's supposed to be a secret, so at least try to play along!

Hahaha...

I guess the initials are a dead giveaway who wrote them.

Well, we have other fan letters we'd love to pore over, but first, we have a special performance for you all!

Everyone! I look forward to continuing to show you all the most authentic version of myself.

At the same time, I hope to also get acquainted with many new versions of myself.

I'll be singing this song in that spirit. Shoujo Rei.
