Misaki
Kokoro. What are your thoughts about our band members?
Kokoro
My thoughts? I love everyone.
Misaki
Aha... Just as I thought. Okay, is there anyone else you love?
Kokoro
Actually, I love everyone I've ever met!
Misaki
... That's what I thought you'd say... Hmm, what to do. This is tough.
Kokoro
Huh? Are you worried about something?
Misaki
So earlier, you know the live house that asked us to perform? They reached out to us again, and-
Kokoro
Awesome!! Let's do it!!
Misaki
Well, yeah. About that. First, they want us to answer a few interview questions for the free newspaper.
Misaki
Specifically, the naive and innocent, yet mysterious singer, Kokoro-chan! ...is who they want to talk to.
Kokoro
Oh, then you can tell them that Hello, Happy World! is making the world sm-
Misaki
I wrote that already. This part is more so like, what you think when you look at us?...
Misaki
Like, how you would introduce the group? Think you can do that?
Kokoro
Introductions for our members?
Misaki
Rather than just being about you, I think it'd be better if we had a little bit about each of us. If you can't do it, I'll just write whatever.
Kokoro
I can! Uhh...
Kokoro
So, Kaoru... Usually I have no idea what she's saying, but it seems like she's enjoying herself, and I think that's most important.
Misaki
Kaoru-san thinks you are the one who knows her the best though?!
Kokoro
I don't think it's really about whether the words get through to people. If you use words you really like, I think it's easier to relax.
Kokoro
That's why when she's unsure of what to say, she takes famous lines from someone else and tries to approach others that way.
Kokoro
If you really think about it, she's a bit shy.
Misaki
... Ahh.
Kokoro
But on the other hand, the bravest member of Hello, Happy World! is Kanon.
Misaki
Huh? Even though she's always like ahh~, and fuee~?
Kokoro
It's because she's always afraid that she's used to the feeling, and then when it's time, she's surprisingly strong.
Kokoro
She was all, "fuee~, fuee~" when I first played with her, too. But on the drums, she was totally fine. And she has a strong sense of responsibility.
Misaki
Now that you mention it, there have been times when I've relied on her. But I just thought it was because she's my senpai...
Kokoro
The one most like a girl is Hagumi.
Misaki
Mhm~. I can see that! She likes things that are cute like Michelle, and she really cares about how she looks.
Kokoro
But she doesn't think that's a good fit for her, so she acts like a boy. She's cute when she's just being herself. What a shame.
Misaki
Wow~. You pay a lot of attention to the people around you. I wouldn't have expected that. Hey, what about me?
Kokoro
...
Kokoro
Uhh... Sorry, who are you...?
Misaki
Hey, c'mon. I'm sure everyone else is bored of this already.
Kokoro
Who's everyone else?
Misaki
Ugh, stop it. Tell me what you think of Michelle's friend.
Kokoro
...
Misaki
After all this time, you have no thoughts?
Kokoro
Michelle is Hello, Happy World!'s guardian angel! When she's around, we're unstoppable.
Misaki
Hey, don't change the subject!
Kokoro
Hmm. Michelle's friend. You're... kinda scary when you get angry.
Misaki
Are you thinking of something that you know will make me upset?
Kokoro
It's just... you... always worry. You're always unhappy with how things turn out, but if by chance you're not, you hide your true feelings.
Kokoro
You're always like, "I don't really care," or "this probably won't work."
Kokoro
Even when it's actually something you really like. I just wish you would say it, but you're always so negative.
Kokoro
It's hard to describe, but... It's weird. Things get sort of tight right here, and I have to find something fun fast and get that happy feeling back.
Kokoro
And maybe that's why I forget so quickly when something has to do with you!
Misaki
...
Misaki
Ahh, I see. Okay, what do you think about yourself?
Kokoro
Me? Same as always! I search for enjoyment, I love smiles and only do fun things...
Kokoro
But now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like recently I've talking to people a lot.
Misaki
Does that mean before the band came together, you didn't really talk to people?
Kokoro
I definitely asked everyone I met to join in on the fun with me.
Kokoro
I love talking to people! You never know when something exciting will happen!
Kokoro
But like, specifically doing that, or planning to do this, and all of the talks, and you getting angry at me now and then...
Kokoro
I think this is my first time for stuff like that.
Kokoro
That's why I'm sure that with our band, we can make the world smile!
Misaki
Hmm. I see.
Misaki
I'm kinda annoyed, being such a negative Nancy and all, but at least this seems like it'll be a good article.
Kokoro
Really? That's great!

Kokoro
Hmm-hm-hmm~♪
Kokoro
... Huh? Oh, BanG Dreamer!
Kokoro
What a surprise to see you here! Are you taking a walk?
Kokoro
... Me? I'm about to go to practice!
Kokoro
Misaki booked the studio for us today, so we're going to practice there!
Kokoro
I want to do more things than just play music...
Kokoro
But Misaki says we need to get the music right first!
Kokoro
... Oh, I know! We must have bumped into each other for a reason! Let's walk to the studio together!
Kokoro
... Huh? You can't go? You've got something on your mind?
Kokoro
Hmm, I see.
Kokoro
One of the girls working at the live house made a mistake, and now she's feelings down about it.
Kokoro
I don't really know what feeling down means exactly...
Kokoro
But I do know that it means she can't smile!
Kokoro
That's serious! How is she supposed to have fun?
Kokoro
Sometimes people forget their smile, and I think she's one of them!
Kokoro
But in that case, what are you doing here?
Kokoro
You have an important job to do!
Kokoro
Go to her, and help her find her smile again!
Kokoro
You can think about "how" later!
Kokoro
It's such a waste for her not to use her smile, you know?
Kokoro
Smiles are the greatest thing in the world. Forgetting something like that...
Kokoro
It's just such a waste!
Kokoro
I want all the people like that to remember their smiles again!
Kokoro
You want her to remember her smile too, right?
Kokoro
In that case, there's only one thing you can do! Let's go to her, right now!
Kokoro
... Huh? That's nice of me to say, but we shouldn't? Why not?
Kokoro
Because we don't know if it will help her...?
Kokoro
Hmm...
Kokoro
I don't really know what you mean by that...
Kokoro
We haven't even tried yet.
Kokoro
Whether it'll work, or be a failure...
Kokoro
There's no way to tell unless we try!
Kokoro
Which means that if we try, it might work. I think it'll definitely work!
Kokoro
That reminds me, I met someone a long time ago who said the same thing. That's it's impossible to make everyone smile.
Kokoro
But I don't think it is!
Kokoro
If someone has forgotten their smile, the others around them just have to help them remember!
Kokoro
I think everyone has the power to make someone smile.
Kokoro
So that's why when a person forgets their smile, someone around them just need to help them remember.
Kokoro
And if the people around them have forgotten their smiles too, then someone around those people just has to help them.
Kokoro
If we all keep doing that, everyone will end up smiling again!
Kokoro
So if there's someone that you want to smile again...
Kokoro
You need to stop worrying, and starting smiling yourself!
Kokoro
Come on, I said smile!
Kokoro
Happy! Lucky! Smile! Hooray!!
Kokoro
One more time!
Kokoro
Happy! Lucky! Smile! Hooray!!
Kokoro
Nice smile! It makes me want to smile too!
Kokoro
From today onward, you're a hero that will make someone smile!
Kokoro
You feel like you can do it? You've always had it in you. That's how amazing you are!
Kokoro
Okay, let's go see the girl who is feeling depressed!
Kokoro
I'm going too, of course! I'll let the others know right now!
Kokoro
Practice... can wait!
Kokoro
The real thing is more important than practice, right?
Kokoro
Actually going and making people smile is much more important than practicing it!
Kokoro
Okay, let's run to the girl's place!
