Rimi
Hmm... Saaya-chan, what about this? Do you think my sister would like it?
Saaya
Ooo, that cardigan is great! Yuri-senpai would definitely love it.
Rimi
... But you know, it's kind of hard to tell. We like such different things...
Saaya
I'm sure she'll be happy whatever you give her, Rimi-rin.
Rimi
You think so...? Either way, I want to make sure I choose something I'm really sure about...
Rimi
... Sorry, Saaya-chan. I just can't decide.
Saaya
It's okay, don't worry about it. Let's just take our time and find something you know she'll like.
Rimi
Okay. Thank you, Saaya-chan. I'm glad I brought you with me.
Saaya
You said her birthday is next week? So there's no need to rush. Let's make sure to take a good look.
Rimi
Be careful. I might actually hold on to you until the week is over...
Saaya
Fufufu. That's alright, I can do it.
Rimi
Hehehe.
Saaya
Rimi-rin, you really love your sister, don't you?
Rimi
Huh...? Uhh, I-I guess, you could say love...
Saaya
It's okay. I get it. If I had an older sister like that, I would love her too.
Saaya
I mean, Yuri-senpai is the guitarist and singer for Glitter*Green. If I was that cool, I'm sure my little brother and sister would brag about me, too.
Rimi
B-but you are cool, Saaya-chan. I'm sure Sana-chan and Jun-kun are proud to have you as a sister...
Rimi
... Oh, I know. Saaya-chan, if you were to get a present from Sana-chan, what would you like? Or from Jun-kun, either is fine. What would be a good present to get from them?
Saaya
Uhh... It's kinda hard to say. They're still pretty young... I guess if they gave me a present... it would be a portrait of me? Or a coupon to get them to do whatever I want? Something like that.
Rimi
Hmm... I see.
Saaya
... But it's really the thought that counts, so I think I would be happy with whatever they gave me.
Rimi
I guess you're right. It is the thought that counts...
Rimi
...Hm? It's my phone. Sorry, Saaya-chan. Give me a second.
Rimi
What?! ... It's from Nana-chan!
Saaya
You mean... the student body president?!
Rimi
I wonder if everything is okay...
Rimi
... Huh?! Oh... I see. Okay. I'll ask them. Mhm. Bye.
Saaya
... What's up?
Rimi
Uh, well... She said Glitter*Green is gonna do a performance for my sister's birthday.
Saaya
What...? Oh yeah! Wanibe-senpai plays the keyboard for Glitter*Green. What else did she say?
Rimi
She asked if Poppin'Party wanted to perform with them...
Saaya
What?! Us?! At a concert with Glitter*Green?!
Rimi
Well, she didn't really say concert. She said it's supposed to have more of an at-home feeling with just family and classmates... And that... since they're already having a show, why not have Poppin'Party join in as well.
Saaya
B-but even if it's just family and classmates, that's still a lot of people.
Rimi
... Probably.
Saaya
Wow, the big leagues.
Rimi
I told Nana-chan that I would ask you guys first...
Saaya
When is it?
Rimi
It's the same day as my sister's birthday, so... about a week from now. They need an answer by that morning.
Saaya
If we perform there, that'd mean we're gonna be on the same stage as Glitter*Green. Makes you kinda nervous, doesn't it?
Rimi
I'm not sure we can do it... Ahh... Maybe we should tell them no...
Saaya
Rimi-rin, hold on. No need to decide so quickly. This is pretty important... It's your sister's birthday. Just like buying the present, let's take our time to think about it. I told you, it's no problem for me. I'll help you out.
Rimi
S-Saaya-chan... Thank you...
Saaya
Let's start by asking the others tomorrow. We've still got plenty of time before we need to reply, right?
Rimi
... Yeah, you're right! Okay, I'll make sure to talk to them tomorrow!
Transcript
Kasumi
... What? Us... With Glitter*Green...
Arisa
As guest performers?!
Rimi
Y-yeah. Nana-chan called me yesterday to ask...
Kasumi
Yeah~! Yes yes yes! That's amazing~!! Let's do it~!!
Kasumi
Ahh~! This is crazy! It's like we're one step closer to our dream already!
Arisa
W-wait wait wait! There's no way we could pull this off!
Saaya
We were thinking we should talk about it, together. Right, Rimi-rin?
Rimi
Yeah. We want to hear what you guys think...
Kasumi
We have no reason not to do it!
Saaya
... I'd like to agree, but...
Kasumi
What do you mean?
Arisa
Kasumi... Do you even know how many days are left until the performance? It's in a week.
Kasumi
But... We won't know unless we try, Arisa!
Kasumi
We're talking about a birthday performance with Glitter*Green! Wouldn't it be awesome if we could be on the same stage as them?!
Arisa
... I can see where you're coming from, but let's just calm down and think about it for a second.
Kasumi
Everyone starts off as beginners, don't they? And they get better by rehearsing and doing performances like these!
Saaya
Kasumi, just relax. Let's hear what everyone else thinks.
Saaya
O-tae, what about you?
Tae
I'd like to give it a shot. It's hard to give up a chance to perform. I feel like that'd be a waste.
Kasumi
O-tae~!! I knew you would understand~!
Rimi
I-I'm sorry everyone... This is my fault...
Kasumi
Why apologize?! There's no need! This is a great chance for us, and it's thanks to you that we found it!
Kasumi
We should be thanks you!
Arisa
So? What do you think, Rimi?
Rimi
I-I... Uhm... I was thinking about it all night...
Rimi
I want to do it. And... I want to make a new song... for my sister...
Arisa
Excuse me?!
Rimi
There's so much effort going into this birthday party, I thought I'd like to try and make a new song for her, too...
Kasumi
Why not? That's an awesome idea! I'm with Rimi-rin!
Tae
Yeah. Me too.
Arisa
S-stop, hold on! It's hard enough being a guest performer for Glitter*Green, but on top of that you want to make a new song?! Nope. No way! We only have one week!
Rimi
... Yeah, I know. I know it's going to be hard.
Rimi
Bu... I want to be able to play on the same stage as my sister.
Kasumi
Yeah! Of course!
Arisa
But still... Rimi, you know-
Kasumi
We won't know unless we try!
Saaya
Alright! How about this? We'll practice for the next week, and then we can think about whether or not we should play in the show. What do you think?
Kasumi
... Huh? But doesn't that mean there's a chance we won't perform?
Saaya
I mean, think about it. If we go up there and we're unprepared, we could end up ruining the party they worked so hard on. Wouldn't that make things worse for Glitter*Green, Yuri-senpai and everyone else there?
Arisa
... Who's gonna decide whether we should do it after our week of practice?
Saaya
Well... We can have Rimi-rin make the call, right?
Rimi
M-Me...?!
Saaya
I think Rimi-rin is the one person who most needs be convinced that we're ready to play at the show.
Kasumi
I'm with Saaya! We're gonna make Yuri-senpai's birthday celebration the best we can, Rimi-rin!
Rimi
Saaya-chan, Kasumi-chan... Thank you!
Saaya
Arisa, what do you think?
Arisa
Well, Saaya's plan is the best so far, so... Fine. I'm in.
Tae
... Aright, then let's get rehearsing. We only have 6 days, 3 hours, 45 minutes, and 56 seconds... 55... 54... 53...
Rimi
D-don't count down like that! It's too stressful...!
Saaya
Hahaha... Alright guys, we have a week. Let's do our best!
Transcript
Kasumi
Rimi-rin, how's the new song?
Rimi
Uhh... I'm kind of having trouble.
Saaya
I can tell. You were staring at the sheet music all through class.
Rimi
Huh? You saw that?!
Saaya
Yeah, sorry. I did.
Tae
And I could hear you thinking out loud, too. Like, "Hmm, mmm..."
Rimi
No way! Really...?! I didn't even realize. Y-you think the teacher noticed?
Saaya
No, I don't think so. You're fine.
Rimi
Th-thank goodness...
Kasumi
Fufu. I know the feeling, though. Whenever I can't think up good lyrics for a song, I make the exact same sounds!
Arisa
And even then, her lyrics are still not that great. It just sounds like groaning to me.
Kasumi
Hmph~! Arisa, you're such a meanie!
Saaya
It makes sense that you'd try so hard, though. It's a song for Yuri-senpai's birthday, and she's special to you.
Rimi
Yeah... I just have this feeling like I have to create a song that will make her happy...
Tae
What've you got so far?
Rimi
Uhm, so far I have the melody up to the second verse. I also have an idea of what chords I want for the chorus...
Kasumi
So you're almost done!
Rimi
But... I'm not sure if what I have is good enough...
Kasumi
It's fine! What you have will work! I guess it's about time I started writing the lyrics, right?!
Rimi
Oh, uhm. Kasumi-chan...
Kasumi
Hm? Something wrong, Rimi-rin?
Rimi
Do you think, maybe, I could write the lyrics for this one...?
Kasumi
Huh? You want to do the lyrics too?! Are you sure, Rimi-rin? Do you want me to help?
Rimi
Yeah... Maybe, but...
Kasumi
Rimi-rin, I want to give you a hand~! Isn't there something I can do?
Rimi
I'm glad you want to help, but... How do I say this...?
Arisa
... Kasumi, come with me for a sec.
Kasumi
... What? Wh-what's the matter?
Arisa
Just come!
Kasumi
Ack! Don't pull so hard~!
Arisa
I know you want to help, but Rimi's putting in all this effort for a very good reason, you know. Shouldn't we let her do this on her own? It is a song for her sister, after all.
Kasumi
Oh... I see. Yeah, you're right! Thanks, Arisa!
Arisa
Yeah, yeah. As long as you understand.
Arisa
Sigh... What am I, your mother?
Kasumi
Rimi-rin! About those lyrics... I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking right... You want to try writing for Yuri-senpai yourself, right?
Rimi
Mhm, yeah...! I know I'm asking for a lot, but...
Rimi
Thank you for letting me do this, Kasumi-chan.
Saaya
Rimi-rin, looks like you've got a lot on your plate.
Rimi
Y-yeah... But it's okay. I have you guys supporting me...!
Arisa
... Well, if you ever need anything, we'll help you out, okay? You just focus on that song.
Arisa
I mean, we do have until the very last minute to decide whether we'll or not. Wanibe-san and the others must know it won't be easy.
Rimi
Arisa-chan... Thank you! I'll keep working on making the best song I can!
Tae
Oh, yeah. Rimi, I reserved a slot at the studio for you.
Rimi
The studio...?
Tae
Yeah. You can make all the noises you want there without worrying about anyone else, and you can practice the song as you write it, too.
Rimi
Th-thank you, O-Tae-chan!
Arisa
You know, you could have mentioned that earlier!
Saaya
We're here for you, Rimi-rin.
Kasumi
Rimi-rin! We'll be looking forward to hearing it when it's done!
Rimi
Okay! Thanks guys!
Kasumi
... I wonder what the song will be like. I can't wait to hear it!
Arisa
Forget about that. You sure made it sound like you're this great songwriter, so we better see something amazing from you next time.
Saaya
Fufu, fufufu... Hey, Arisa...
Arisa
... Wh-why are you laughing?! What's so funny?!
Saaya
You really care about your friends, don't you?
Arisa
... Wh-what?! What are you saying?! I have no idea what you're talking about... wh-what?!
Saaya
Think about it. At first, you didn't even want to perform, but now you're the one supporting Rimi-rin the most.
Arisa
Th-that's stupid! Look, I had to say something! Kasumi was being so pushy...!
Saaya
Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. And that's why I said, you really care about your friends, Arisa~
Arisa
A-are you even listening to me?!
Transcript
Kasumi
... Alright! Everyone here?! Saaya~, we're ready!
Saaya
Okay~. It's a bit of a tight fit, but... in ya go.
Arisa
Ugh~, this is so annoying... Why do we have to do this~?
Kasumi
C'mon~. Arisa, is something wrong?
Arisa
Of course something's wrong! I'm told we have band rehearsal... and I show up to this! I mean, I had a bad feeling when I heard we're meeting at Saaya's house, but...
Kasumi
We have to do this! For the show!
Arisa
For the... What are you...?
Arisa
O-Tae, even you have to think this is weird, no?
Tae
... What's weird?
Arisa
Wh-?! Are you holding an apron...?!
Kasumi
Now for today's band activity!
Rimi
Hmm.... Mmm...
Rimi
Something doesn't seem right. Maybe if I change the lyrics here...
Rimi
... No. Still no good... Sigh... I have no idea what to do next. And there's so little time until the show. What to do... Ahh...
Rimi
I should probably take a little break.
Kasumi
Ri~mi-rin♪ How's everything?
Rimi
Ah! Kasumi-chan! Saaya-chan! O-Tae-chan! Arisa-chan!
Saaya
O-Tae said that you were having a rough time, so we came to see how you were doing.
Tae
The studio workers told me. They said they could sometimes hear a strange growling coming from inside the room...
Arisa
What kind of growling makes it through soundproof walls?!
Saaya
Feeling stuck?
Rimi
... Y-yeah. The song is almost done, but I'm having a hard time with the lyrics. ... Maybe I should have asked Kasumi-chan or help after all.
Kasumi
That wouldn't work! This is gonna be a song that only you could make! There'd be no point in me writing the lyrics!
Arisa
Look who's talking! Before you were begging to write the lyrics yourself!
Kasumi
... And Arisa was nice enough to explain why I was wrong!
Arisa
That's better.
Rimi
... Haha. Hahaha.
Rimi
... Yeah. You know, I think I feel better just seeing your faces. Thank you.
Saaya
Great. With a smile like that, you'll definitely be okay.
Rimi
... Wait. Speaking of... Your faces seem a bit lighter...
Kasumi
Ehehe, Rimi-rin. What if you could feel even better than you do now? Wouldn't you like that?!
Rimi
Y-yeah... Of course I would...
Kasumi
Okay~! Then how about some pastries to lift your spirit~?
Rimi
... Huh? P-pastries? Whoa, this bag is so warm...!
Saaya
We baked these especially for you, to help cheer you up, Rimi-rin. Take a look.
Rimi
Ah! Chocolate cornets~! Oh, how I missed you!
Rimi
Th-this is amazing! You guys made these for me?! They look delicious, just like the ones you sell!
Saaya
Well, we did ask my dad to help us make them. But we're the ones who put the chocolate inside.
Saaya
When we told him we would be making them for you, he was happy to give us a hand. Said it's because you're our best customer.
Rimi
Th-thank you...
Kasumi
Alrighty, see ya later!
Rimi
What? You're leaving already?
Kasumi
Rimi-rin! We're looking forward to hearing something great!
Rimi
O-okay!
Saaya
It's okay. I know you can do it, Rimi-rin.
Rimi
Thank you! I'll do my best!
Tae
Make sure the door is closed when you're making weird nois-
Arisa
Alright, that's enough! Let's go, O-Tae!
Rimi
... Thank you so much. ... Sniff.
Rimi
No. No crying... Okay! I'll eat a chocolate cornet and get back to work!
Rimi
... Hm? There's still more at the bottom of the bag. What is it? The shape is kinda strange... Is this... like the letter G? Here's an... R? And this one...
Rimi
Ah! If you take these... and put it like this... G-O R-I-M-I. Go Rimi...
Rimi
Thanks, guys~... Okay, here I go!
Transcript
Kasumi
... It's almost time!
Saaya
Yep! Rimi-rin's worked so hard for this!
Kasumi
She really has!
Arisa
And... where is she, exactly?
Saaya
She said she's putting on the final touches.
Arisa
When it comes to music, she sure is specific about every last detail.
Tae
Oh, here she is.
Rimi
H-hey, sorry to make you all wait.
Kasumi
Congrats, Rimi-rin! Good job! Yay~!
Kasumi
Okay! In honor of Rimi-rin finishing a new song, let's cheer! All together ... Ready, set-!
Rimi
Ah! Hold on! Wait, Kasumi-chan!
Kasumi
Huh? What happened?!
Rimi
I'm not really sure if it's good, so I wanted you guys to listen to it once... I put it on this reorder. Could I play it for you? I want to hear your honest opinions...
Kasumi
Does that mean... we'll be the first ones to ever hear the song?! Woo~! Awesome~!
Saaya
Yeah, we can do that. Ahaha, now I'm getting nervous, too.
Rimi
O-okay. I'll start it...
Kasumi
...
Rimi
...W-well, what do you think?
Kasumi
A-amazing! That was totally awesome!
Rimi
R-really...?
Kasumi
Look, I've still got goosebumps. I'm so impressed... Aren't you, Arisa?
Arisa
Yeah, it's good I guess. Nice job, Rimi.
Saaya
I really like the lyrics! I could tell how you feel about Yuri-senpai just from listening to them. No one would think you made this song in such a short time.
Rimi
... O-Tae-chan, what about you?
Tae
... Rad.
Rimi
Are you all being honest? Is that what you really think...? I want you to be straightforward, without trying to be nice because we're friends...
Kasumi
We told you what we think! If we played this song at the birthday party, it'd be great!
Rimi
... I see. I hope so...
Saaya
... Uhm, Rimi-rin? What's up? Something's been bothering you for a while now.
Rimi
I-it's just, while I was making the song, I started to feel like I wasn't sure... Will this really make my sister happy...?
Rimi
Saaya-chan, you understand because it was the same when we went shopping. Making decisions is really hard for me...
Saaya
Rimi-rin...
Tae
Uhm... I don's really follow, but...
Tae
Rimi, in the end, who do you want to be happy after you play this song?
Arisa
Have you been paying attention at all?! She made the song for her sister-
Tae
I got that part, but Rimi, is your sister... the only person you wrote the song for?
Rimi
... Huh? W-well...
Tae
Putting on a show for only one person, even though there's gonna be such a huge crowd... Would you call that a fun show?
Rimi
...Oh. I see... I get it. O-Tae-chan is right. That kind of show wouldn't be fun at all!
Saaya
Yeah... I also hadn't thought about that until now. We can't put on a show if we're not playing for everyone watching.
Arisa
O-Tae... You know, every now and then you know exactly what to say... I'm surprised.
Tae
... Did I say the right thing?
Kasumi
Alrighty! Then let's put on a show for not just Yuri-senpai, but for everyone!
Kasumi
There's only one thing left to do!
Rimi
... Yeah! Just practice!
Kasumi
Yes!! Time to get down to business!
Arisa
Yeah, but there are only three days left. There's nowhere to practice with the studio being booked...
Kasumi
... But there is. A place where only we can practice! Starting today, let's go there and play our hearts out!
Arisa
When you say "a place where only we can practice..." you don't mean... my place, do you?
The Other Four
Yes!!
Arisa
Ugh!! You gotta be kidding!!
Transcript
Rimi
Kasumi-chan, it feels like you're coming in a bite late at the start of the chorus. You have to be in sync with everyone or you'll get left behind.
Kasumi
Gotcha!
Rimi
Saaya-chan, the syncopation in the second verse is a little weak. Try to make the beats you're supposed to stress a bit more clear.
Saaya
Okay, I'll give it a shot.
Arisa
(Wh-when did Rimi get so intense...?)
Rimi
And Arisa-chan.
Arisa
Y-yeah?!
Rimi
Can you be just a little more gentle during the intro? Right now, it sounds like we're playing in a marching band...
Arisa
G-gently? ... I-I'll try.
Kasumi
... Ahh~. Can we take a quick break~?! We've been playing three hours straight. I'm beat...
Rimi
... Ah, r-right. Sorry! I didn't even realize!
Kasumi
Okay then, let's rest for 10 minutes!
Saaya
That means it's a good time for... Here you go, guys! I brought some pastries for you to eat if anyone wants.
Kasumi
Me! Yay~! Itadakima~su!
Arisa
That was fast.
Tae
... Hey, what about me? What should I work on?
Rimi
S-something for you to improve on? Hm, uhh... Okay. O-Tae-chan... You can try to smile more.
Tae
More... smiling? ...Like this?
Tae
...
Rimi
Y-yeah... try like that, please.
Kasumi
Nom nom... I guess tomorrow's the day!
Arisa
Hey, don't talk with food in your mouth!
Saaya
Only one more day... The week went by so fast.
Arisa
Hold on. Isn't it a little too early to start relaxing? We still got a long way to go to play that song in front of a crowd.
Saaya
Well, we managed to get this far, we just gotta put in a little more effort. That's why we're all prepared to stay for the night.
Arisa
... I'm letting you know right now. Once we're done with rehearsal, you guys have to leave. Th-there will be no sleepovers... got it?!
Kasumi
How can you say that when you're really happy that we're staying over~?
Arisa
Wh-what?! No way!
Saaya
Hehe. Alright, either way, we've gotta keep practicing until the last minute. Then Rimi-rin can decide whether or not we'll perform!
Kasumi
That's right! Yeah! The night is young! Let's do this!
Kasumi
Ehehehe, I'm so excited!
Arisa
To tell you the truth, you're all just making my life harder!... Thinking you can just stay at my house...
Saaya
... Oh yeah. That reminds me, Rimi-rin. What did you decide to buy for Yuri-senpai?
Rimi
Buy...? What do you- Ah! Wh-what do I do?! I was so focused on the song, I completely forgot...!
Kasumi
So... Why don't you make this song her present?!
Saaya
Oh, yeah. I think that's a great idea. There's o way you could find a present with more thought put into it.
Tae
And then... a bit more of a smile...
Tae
... Kinda like this.
Arisa
Ew, no! Anyway, I guess if you say that, we have no choice but to give it our all...
Rimi
Th-thank you... all. Okay, could you guys bear with me a little bit longer, then...?
Kasumi
Don't act like we're strangers! We'll be with you all night! Alright, let's play!
Kasumi
Haa~, so sleepy~... I think it's about time we get to bed.
Arisa
... A-are you all really planning on staying here?
Kasumi
Of course! We have to try it one more time in the morning.
Tae
Uhh, Rimi.. There's something I wanted to ask you about.
Rimi
Really? What's that?
Tae
During the performance, if I smile the whole time, I won't be able to see anything, so can I just make a normal face very now and then?
Rimi
... Y-yeah. I think... that's fine.
Tae
Great... I was worried for a second. Good night.
Rimi
... G-good night.
Rimi
Alright.. I'll call them now. ... Is that okay?
Kasumi
Yeah! Go ahead!
Rimi
Mmm~... Okay... Here goes!
Rimi
... Ah, hell? Nana-chan? About the show today... Poppin'Party... would like to join!
Rimi
Yeah, I talked with the rest of the group! Yeah! Thank you!
Rimi
... She said... we can perform!
Kasumi
Yay~! Finally! We're gonna be playing on the same stage as Glitter*Green!
Rimi
(We can do it... We'll play our new song for my sis- No, for everyone watching! And I know it'll make her happy.)
Transcript
Kasumi
Glitter*Green is amazing as always...
Arisa
Ahh. You can hear the crowd even from backstage...
Saaya
So much for the "at home feeling..." There are way more people here than I couldn't imagined.
Tae
...How's this? Is my smile okay? Look.
Arisa
Already?! You can save it or later!
Rimi
Uhm, let me just check this again... So after this song, then we... Wait. After the next song... Right? Hold on. What was it again...?
Arisa
Deep breaths, Rimi.
Rimi
S-sorry! Uhm... Oh, yeah! When this song ends, there will be an encore. So after that...
Kasumi
It's finally our time to shine... Right?!
Rimi
Y-yeah.
Saaya
Oh... Yuri-senpai just winked at us!
Kasumi
I think she's telling us, "good luck."
Rimi
Mhm... let's play our song... and give everyone something to smile about!
Arisa
Ahh!! Guys, their performance is almost over!
Kasumi
Alright, it's time~!
Rimi
Yeah~!
Saaya
Yeah~!
Tae
Yeah~!
Arisa
Yeah~!
Arisa
Sigh... It's over~!
Arisa
Oh, man... My heart... Ahh, it's too much!
Saaya
Sigh... That was so intense!
Tae
What about my smile...? Was it okay?
Rimi
An A+! That was perfect, don't you think? Kasumi-chan, what do yo- Are you okay?
Kasumi
Sparkling... Heart-pounding...
Kasumi
... When we were on stage! It was sparkling and heart-pounding!!
Kasumi
And the lights! The way they reflected off of O-Tae's guitar! And Arisa's keyboard! And Saaya's drums! And Rimi-rin's bass!
Kasumi
... And did you see?! Everyone in the crowd was smiling! They were all so into the performance...!
Kasumi
I was amazing... So... amazing~!! I'm kind of speechless!
Rimi
... Yeah. Mhm, I als-
???
Hey, girls~. Nicely done.
Kasumi
Ah! Y-Yuri-senpai?!
Rimi
S-sis!
Kasumi
Thanks for letting us play with you guys today!
Yuri
Actually, I should be thanking you all. You girls really got everyone going.
Kasumi
N-no way!
Yuri
That was a great song. Is it new? It's not one of those songs I've heard coming from Rimi's room before.
Kasumi
Yeah, that's right! Rimi-rin wrote it for today's show, all by herself!
Yuri
Oh, really? Look at you. You must have worked pretty hard.
Rimi
... Actually... No. I didn't make it by myself... I was able to make that song because Poppin'Party was there for me.
Rimi
If they hadn't been cheering me on, I would have probably given up.
Saaya
... R-Rimi-rin.
Rimi
I... had everyone's support. So... So... Sniff.
Yuri
Let me thank you on behalf of my little sister. Thanks, everyone.
Rimi
Sis...
Yuri
... And I'd also like to say thanks to you, Rimi. I appreciate you making this such an awesome show.
Yuri
... This is the best birthday present ever.
Rimi
... M-mhm.
Yuri
C'mon, stop the waterworks. Le's see a smile.
Yuri
You can learn a thing or two from that girl. Her smile was a ten out of ten.
Tae
... Huh? ... Me?
Kasumi
Ahh~, today's show was super amazing!
Arisa
Are you still going on about that?! Isn't there anything else in that head of yours?
Saaya
Rimi-rin, good job! Thanks to you, I think we all did some growing!
Rimi
Yeah... ... You think, maybe, I've grown a little, too?
Saaya
Of course.
Rimi
Okay, then... Can I say something? It might be a bit bold...
Saaya
Bold, huh? I can't wait to hear this.
Rimi
Uhm, so... I want to keep getting better... and one day stand side by side with my sister for a performance... ... Just kidding.
Kasumi
That's a good idea! We'll aim high! Alright~! Let's do it!!
