And of course, the second season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club is currently ongoing and it’s so great that I wanted to do something special to make the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club more blooming and more thrilling to gleam and shine because today’s update will be focused on Azusa Yasukawa, a friend of Shizuku Ōsaka, one of my favorite characters of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, as she had attended the general assembly of the Dream and Smile, a group of friends that are composed of the supporters of Ayumu Uehara and Shizuku Ōsaka. You’re going to see the blooms and thrills to witness with where the members of the Dream and Smile are going to show their happiness to make Ayumu and Shizuku feeling cherished and thrilled for sure! Hopefully, you’ll be thrilled to see this because this update is so special that I want to dedicate this to Kaori Maeda, the voice actress of Shizuku Ōsaka.

Kaori is one of my favorite seiyus of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club alongside Aguri Ōnishi, Akari Kitō, Tomori Kusunoki and Maria Sashide because she is so cheerful and admired to make herself prestigious when she had performed alongside her fellow members of that school idol group. Hopefully, she will continue making progress of her voice acting career as I’ll keep watching out for her because she is always determined to be cheerful and admired with her smile for sure!;) Advanced happy birthday, Kaori!:) Now, if you’re ready to gleam and shine with Shizuku, Ayumu and Yu, then you’re in luck because here comes the 135th side chapter of the Red Section Series with the title, “The First Thrill of Azusa Yasukawa”! Enjoy reading the 135th side chapter of the Red Section Series!:)
Date: May 4, 2010 (Tuesday)
This side chapter is focused on Azusa Yasukawa as she’s attending the general assembly of the Dream and Smile, a group of students of the Nijigasaki Academy High School that supported Ayumu Uehara and Shizuku Ōsaka on their school idol careers. Azusa is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and the leader of the Majestic Aqua Charm.
At the Uehara Residence, the members of the Dream and Smile are staying together with Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu where they’re about to kick off their general assembly. The Dream and Smile is a group of students from the Nijigasaki Academy High School that have supported Ayumu and Shizuku on their school idol careers, led by Natsuko Igarashi.
Dream and Smile: Natsuko Igarashi, Mitsuyo Kawaguchi, Kurumi Yamanaka, Eriko Matsuzawa, Sayako Nishimoto, Runa Kawamoto, Tomiko Nakahara, Chika Hashiguchi, Satomi Ōshiro, Erika Fukuhara, Maiko Takano, Azuki Sugiyama, Kuniko Miyata, Mieko Tomizawa, Akiyo Shiotani, Rumiko Asahara, Kyōko Matsukawa, Azusa Yasukawa, Miyaka Takamatsu, Akina Morinaka, Riko Kusaka, Tsuki Kinomoto, Saika Ueda and Ichiko Tsukayama
“Welcome to the general assembly of the Dream and Smile! It’s been an honor to take part of this event because you’re all here to start your dreams with us!” said Ayumu.
“We want you to be more thrilled to get along with us now that the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club had been re-organized with the help of Yu Takasaki” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, you’ll have some fun to make this event more blooming and gleaming because it’s the time of the year to make yourselves thrilled” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Now, I would like to give a round of applause for the leader of Dream and Smile, Natsuko Igarashi, for the opening remarks of this event!” said Ayumu.
The members of Dream and Smile would clap their hands together for Natsuko, who will about to make her speech to kick off the general assembly.
“Thank you, Ayumu-chan!” said Natsuko while giving Ayumu a smile before doing her speech for the opening remarks of the general assembly. “So, this is the first time that we formed this group as it will be composed of students who wanted to shine just like Ayumu and Shizuku did as we’re supporting them on their school idol careers. I had been planning on this a few days ago when we gathered together to form this group. Everyone had agreed to form this group and so, we finally have our thrills to create with as the Dream and Smile will be the home of the young girls that they have their own dreams to bloom and gleam for the better future. Also, not only that NijiGaku had been re-organized a few weeks ago, but everyone can shine in their own way to prosper themselves with thrill and smile because this is what we do to make us all shined together. The more that we supported both Ayumu and Shizuku, the better that will develop our friendship with them as they will be ready to make progress for their club. Hopefully, you’re all excited to see something that will fascinate you, right?”
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“That’s great! I knew that you’re counting us like that because it’ll be amazing that you’re going to see better hopes and blissful dreams to make up with for our future and so, you should prepare ourselves to shine in our way” said Natsuko.
“Yes, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Now, before we’ll start the activities that we’ll about to make, I’ll be explaining about why we’re all here in the Uehara Residence” said Natsuko as she’s going to explain about the purpose of the general assembly. “So, Ayumu and I have planned about this after the Dream and Smile was formed where we wanted to organize a small party at her home right here. I had been very confident about the way Ayumu had welcomed us because she’s more cheerful towards her thrills being paid off. Now that she’s part of NijiGaku, then why not creating an event for a circle group that will be representing for Ayumu and Shizuku.”
“Yeah, I agree with that, Natsuko-chan!” said Ayumu while nodding her head to agree with Natsuko. “Any group that is associated to NijiGaku whether being formed before or after the re-organization, thus they have their own opportunities to create thrills for everyone. I had been very delighted to see those, especially that my cousins Shinako, Azusa and Maika and Shizuku’s cousin Hinako have formed their own circle to represent the bravehearts that supported the two of us.”
“The Dream Pink and Aqua Group had been an example of making the friendship between them and the two of us getting developed longer since we’re related to each other. Of course, a lot of groups have their own ways to treat us like they wanted to be close to us, which is why anyone can make friends through thrills, so that they’ll be able to prosper themselves with their rainbow hearts” said Shizuku.
Natsuko gives Shizuku a smile before replying to her. “That’s true, Shizuku-chan! This general assembly will be the seed of our friendship that will be prospered, so that everyone in the Dream and Smile will be ready to shine themselves through the thrills that we have. Of course, the Dream and Smile will be focused on helping people to create hopes and dreams through our hearts to make themselves prospered. With Ayumu’s own representation of being a true heart school idol and Shizuku’s own representation of being a theatrical school idol, we want to be more confident to show that we’ll be preparing to groom them to have success in their school idol careers. Isn’t that right, girls?”
“Yeah!” said Ayumu and Shizuku while Yu nods her head in agreement without saying a word, even she’s aspired to become a school idol.
“Of course, everyone will make opportunities to bring this group being one of the blooming groups to represent for NijiGaku and hopefully, we’ll have a good year to progress with” said Natsuko.
“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“To start this event, there will be two stages: the fun part and the thrilling part. The fun part will be composed of a little round of activities that you’re going to enjoy and it will be up for grabs to give you some prizes from Ayumu and Shizuku. Then, the thrill part will be a sharing conversation where you’re going to make us thrill with your own story to make. I hope that you have your stories in the books for that part later on, right?” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
Kuniko Miyata would ask Azusa Yasukawa if the latter had a story to share for the thrill part. “Azusa-san, did you have that story that you’re going to tell?”
“Well, of course, Kuniko-san! I apparently worked on my goals to share with. I want to be more confident to keep Shizuku being happy and determined to make sure that she’ll never let herself down while being a young actress and school idol” said Azusa Yasukawa, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and the leader of the Majestic Aqua Charm. She’s also a friend of Shizuku from the general course, but not belonged to Kasumi’s class.
“Ah, I know what you’re going to share, Azusa-san! I mean, you’re more charismatic like the way Shizuku did because you liked her way of being an aspiring actress with her blooming heart” said Kuniko.
“Yes, she was! I like to be more admired to her because not only that she’s a good neighbor of mine, but she’ll be ready to gleam her way when she’ll be performing for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” said Azusa.
“Oh, that’s a good way to make Shizuku happy, Azusa-san! I’m so excited that you’re going to follow her activities after you accepted the invitation to join our group!” said Mieko Tomizawa.
“Here, in the Dream and Smile, this is a group where everyone will make their dreams to create with, so that they’ll be able to thrill themselves while supporting Ayumu and Shizuku on their school idol careers” said Akiyo Shiotani.
“That’s why you should be involved in making thrills to Ayumu and Shizuku because you’re gonna make them feel delighted to see you supporting them and hopefully, you’ll find yourself in a better group for good hopes and prospered dreams for sure!” said Kuniko.
“Yes, I will!” said Azusa while affirming herself with a smile.
“Hopefully, this event will be blooming and gleaming to enjoy because our dream starts here!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile before Natsuko gives the microphone to Ayumu.
“Thank you very much, Natsuko-chan!” said Ayumu before declaring that the general assembly of the Dream and Smile will begin. “With that said, let’s get this general assembly started!”
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile as the general assembly had finally begun.
The montage would show the activities that have been held in the general assembly.
“First up, it’s time to play a game of newspaper dance!” said Ayumu.
“The rules are simple. When the music stops, a pair must stay in the paper and make sure that you’re not stepping outside the paper, otherwise, you’re out of the game” said Shizuku.
“Now, we’ll be dividing you into pairs, so that Yu will give you a page of newspaper for this game” said Ayumu.
“Okay!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
Ayumu and Shizuku would divide the members of the Dream and Smile into pairs. Azusa would end up pairing with Kyōko Matsukawa.
“I’m thrilled that I had a good partner coming from the international exchange course!” said Azusa.
“Yes, indeed! We’re going to work together to win this game!” said Kyōko Matsukawa.
“Yeah, you got it!” said Azusa.
“I brought some old newspapers in my home and so, you’ll have to use those for the entire game” said Yu before giving the members of the Dream and Smile a page of newspaper.
Yu would give Kyōko and Azusa a page of newspaper. “Here you go!”
“Thanks, Yu-san!” said Kyōko and Azusa.
“Now, when the music plays, you’ll have to show your dance moves to put some thrills going up!” said Shizuku.
“Okay!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Then, here we go!” said Ayumu while Yu plays the music player with the song 「CALL&GOAL!」 being played as the background song of the game. The song is performed by Prima Porta, composed of Aguri Ōnishi, Mayu Sagara, Shū Uchida, Tomoyo Takayanagi and Yukina Shutō.
Kyōko and Azusa would battle against the other pairs as they’ll try their best to stay in their positions, so that they’ll not be able to get out of the game. Kyōko and Azusa have managed to survived four rounds with half of the pairs are out of the game throughout the first game.
Just then, when the fifth round would about to begin Kyōko and Azusa have finally brought on idea on their strategy.
“We should be quick to stay inside the page if we want to win this game by not falling around” said Kyōko.
“Oh, yes! We have to act faster to do that, Kyōko-san, because we have to be more careful if we don’t want to be out of the game” said Azusa.
“Of course!” said Kyōko.
“Now, we have to think better while dancing because we have to be more focused on winning this game. That would be fantastic to turn things around to get the last laugh, right?” said Azusa.
“Yep!” said Kyōko.
When Yu presses the play button to continue playing the song, Kyōko gives the signal to Azusa. “Now, let’s do this!”
“Yeah!” said Azusa while giving Kyōko a smile as the pair would dance with their moves.
Ayumu and Shizuku are observing the remaining pairs while dancing outside of the newspaper page. Aside from the pair of Kyōko and Azusa, the remaining pairs are composed of Natsuko and Mitsuyo, Satomi and Erika and Kuniko and Mieko.
“They’re still dazzling with their moves after they have survived four rounds” said Shizuku.
“Yep! Now, they have to be more careful on this round because there’s a chance that either one or more will be out of the game if they made mistakes out there” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, I believe so, but we’ll only gonna find out if they’ll be lucky to survive this round with their strategic plan” said Shizuku.
“Of course, they have their plans, Shizuku-chan! However, there’s only one pair going to survive with the most strategic one whether it’s on my side or your side” said Ayumu.
“Well, we’re about to find out when the music stops” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu.
A few seconds later, Yu would stop playing the music player by pausing it, giving the four pairs their time to get into the newspaper page.
“Now, we have to be careful on this!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah!” said Azusa. Both Kyōko and Azusa are getting into the possession to stay in the newspaper page. Meanwhile, the other pairs would do the same thing except the pair of Satomi and Erika, who failed to survive the round when Erika stepped out of the newspaper page, thus, they’re out of the game.
“Okay, we have one pair down!” said Ayumu.
“Thank you for participating this event, Satomi-san and Erika-san!” said Shizuku.
“So, we’re now down to just 3. The pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo, the pair of Kuniko and Mieko and the pair of Kyōko and Azusa are still standing in this game” said Ayumu.
“They have their own resilience to work it out and they’re all set for the next round!” said Shizuku.
“Yep! I bet that the next round will even difficult to make it and they have to fold their newspaper pages into halves again before they’ll try to find a way to survive this game” said Yu.
“You got that right, Yu-chan! Those three must be very careful in trying to get away with this because this round would be trickier than I’m expecting” said Ayumu.
“True, Ayumu-san. They need to find another plan to survive this round to make sure that they’ll stay in the game or else, they’re out of the game” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu and Yu.
“The three pairs will be ready to face the toughest round because anything can happen that one of them will win this contest” said Yu.
“Probably, Yu-chan, but we’ll see about that when this round is on the way!” said Ayumu.
“This is going to be a challenge for them and so, they should be smart enough to survive this round for sure!” said Shizuku.
“You got it, girls!” said Yu.
Kyōko and Azusa would speak with each other in a pep talk before the game resumes.
“Whew! That was so close!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, we’re still in the game to take care of business, but I have a feeling that this one would be hard to get” said Azusa.
“Well, I agree about this, but let’s not waste time because we have to be careful now on trying to win this game. We should think it harder if we can work together as soon as possible” said Kyōko.
“You bet, Kyōko-san! Let’s try our best!” said Azusa.
“Got it!” said Kyōkō.
“And now, here comes the sixth round!” said Shizuku.
“Girls, you must be mindful to have a strategy to set it out!” said Ayumu.
“Okay!” said Natsuko, Mieko, Kuniko, Mieko, Kyōko and Azusa.
“Then, let’s continue this song!” said Yu.
“Okay!” said Natsuko, Mieko, Kuniko, Mieko, Kyōko and Azusa while Yu resumes playing the music player for the sixth round.
The three pairs would show their dance moves to dazzle themselves for 30 seconds. Kyōko and Azusa are doing great to keep their momentum alive by imitating the moves that Ayumu and Shizuku learned every practice.
Kyōko and Azusa would think on their minds while dancing together with Kyōko speaks to herself first. “This is very crucial and I have to be careful on this right now.”
Azusa would do the same thing to speak to herself. “We need this to survive another round. I know that this is tough, but here goes nothing.”
Yu would stop playing the music, giving the signal to the three pairs to get into the position.
“Now!” shouted Kyōko as she and Azusa would try to position themselves inside the newspaper page without landing outside of it. They did the cheerleading posture, which is the hardest pose to do for a pair. Just then, Kyōko started to lower her knees, but she’s still hustling herself to stay in the position. Meanwhile, the pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo and the pair of Kuniko and Mieko have tried their best to stay into their positions with their poses being made, but unfortunately, Kuniko and Mieko stepped outside of the newspaper page while Natsuko and Mitsuyo are about to lose their balance when they tried to stand themselves in 5 seconds.
After 15 seconds, Ayumu and Shizuku would observe the three pairs to see who is the last pair standing.
Ayumu had observed the pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo to see if they’re still in the game or not, but she saw Mitsuyo landing her toe into the floor, thus she declares to them. “Okay, you two are out!”
Shizuku had to eliminate the pair of Kuniko and Mieko after failing to meet the requirement when they stepped out of the newspaper page while trying to stay into their positions. “You’re stepping outside of the newspaper page and I have to eliminate the two of you.”
“Which means that the pair of Kyōko and Azusa is still standing with their posture, despite Kyōko is seemed to lose her balance” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, they’re very smart to create their pose and stand there for a long time” said Shizuku.
“I bet that we have a winner for this one!” said Yu.
“Of course, Yu-san!” said Ayumu and Shizuku.
Kyōko and Azusa would finally become exhausted from standing in their pose as Ayumu would declare the winner of the first activity.
“And the winner of the first activity goes to the pair of Kyōko and Azusa!” said Ayumu.
“Congratulations to the two of you!” said Shizuku while Yu gives the prize to Kyōko and Azusa.
“Here are the bracelets! You can wear it whatever you want!” said Yu while giving both Kyōko and Azusa a smile.
“Oh, that’s very nice! Thank you very much, Yu-san!” said Kyōko and Azusa.
“You’re welcome!” said Yu.
“Now that the first activity is done, let’s move on to the next activity!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile while a montage would show the rest of the activities that have been held during the fun part of the general assembly. The second game would be the ‘Bring Me’ activity where everyone had to use their own personal belongings, in order to win prizes. Azusa was able to win a prize when Ayumu told the girls to bring a butterfly hairpin. Then, it would be followed by the quiz bee where the four girls will contest to determine the smartest person to answer all questions, which was won by Tomiko Nakahara. The fourth activity would be the charade contest where they have to guess the answer while Yu is acting through hand signals without saying a word. This activity was won by Kuniko’s team where they defeated Natsuko’s team, 5-3.
The fifth and final activity will be a singing competition where the eight girls that were picked by Ayumu to contest against each other to determine the best singer in the group. The participants are Kurumi Yamanaka, Tomiko Nakahara, Erika Fukuhara, Maiko Takano, Akiyo Shiotani, Kyōko Matsukawa, Miyaka Takamatsu and Riko Kusaka. Azusa would cheer for Kyōko and Miyaka when they’re performing their own songs. Kyōko had performed the song 「Elder Flower」, performed by Aguri Ōnishi while Miyaka had performed the song 「海と真珠」, performed by JUNNA. The former is the ending theme song of Seirei Gensouki while the latter is the opening theme song of Kaizoku Oujo.
While listening to Kyōko and Miyaka performing their songs, Azusa had been motivated to see them shining their way through their voice just like Ayumu and Shizuku did, thus she became impressed of their performance.
After the panel of judges, composed of Natsuko, Kuniko and Yu, compiled the results to determine the winners of the fifth and final activity, Ayumu and Shizuku would announce together to reveal the winners.
“The third place of the singing competition with the score of 94 goes to…” said Ayumu before reading the name on the paper. “…Miyaka Takamatsu!”
“You made it, Miyaka-san!” said Azusa.
“You had a tremendous performance to make us feel good!” said Akina Morinaka, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the general course.
“You’re looking great to shine out!” said Tsuki Kinomoto, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“I’m happy that you have performed well to impress us!” said Saika Ueda, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“You’ll be a superstar if you want to step up to perform for us!” said Ichiko Tsukayama, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“Thanks, girls! I hope that you liked it!” said Miyaka Takamatsu while giving Akina, Tsuki, Saika and Ichiko a smile on her face. Miyaka is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the general course.
“Yeah!” said Azusa, Akina, Tsuki, Saika and Ichiko.
“Now, the second place of the singing competition with the score of 96 goes to…” said Shizuku before reading the name on the paper. “…Kyōko Matsukawa!”
“Atta girl, Kyōko-san! You made it to the podium too!” said Azusa.
“You’re very dazzling too just like Miyaka!” said Mieko.
“You’re looking forward to be a superstar as well!” said Rumiko Asahara.
“Well, it worth a shot to make it, but I’m way too close to win this, but I hope that the winner will be coming from our side” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, we hope so” said Mieko, Rumiko and Azusa.
“And that means, the winner of the singing competition with the score of 97 goes to…” said Ayumu before reading the name on the paper. “…Tomiko Nakahara!”
“Congratulations to you, Tomiko-san! You’re a superstar!” said Shizuku.
Tomiko was surprised that she had won the singing competition as she received a prize, which is a colored notebook with the symbol of ribbon and droplet in the cover from Ayumu. “Thank you, Ayumu-chan!” Tomiko gives Ayumu a smile on her face to thank her. Tomiko is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the life design course.
“You’re welcome!” said Ayumu while giving Tomiko a smile.
“Now that the fun part had been concluded, it’s time to pause this event for dinner and after that, it’s time to share your story with your smile and thrill when the thrill part will begin!” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, you’ll be ready to show us your thrills when you’ll share your story because it will be amazing for all of us to know about you!” said Yu.
“Thrill is the important thing for all of us and so, you’ll be ready to bloom and gleam with us for sure!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
The members of the Dream and Smile would start picking up their dinner by selecting different kinds of food that were served by Tomiko and Chika Hashiguchi.
The friends of Shizuku would start their conversation while eating their dinner together with Kuniko speaking to them first. “Wow! You girls did a great job in participating in the activities! Shizuku had been delighted to see you shine!”
“Yes, we are!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“It feels great that we have showed our pride and compassion to make sure that we’re gonna make her proud!” said Mieko.
“Most of us have been able to show how it’s done, especially that Kyōko, Azusa and Miyaka have been shining all the way to make themselves earned” said Akiyo.
“It’s so fantastic that this event had given us the thrills to make us energized to start a new dream for this group and hopefully, we’re going to give Ayumu and Shizuku their thrills to empower themselves” said Rumiko.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Kuniko.
“You know, girls, it’s been a while that we haven’t known with each other at first because we’re coming from different schools before, but thankfully, we finally recognized with each other since we’re belonged to Shizuku’s connection circle” said Kyōko.
“Yep! That’s true, Kyōko-san! We want to represent for her because she had been dazzling her way with her smile, so that she’ll be able to shine her career as a theatrical school idol” said Kuniko.
“She can do whatever she wants because she’s always gonna lead with her smile that we’ll never forget!” said Mieko.
“Yes, indeed! While being part of her own connection circle, we have so many things to explore when we formed this special group” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, the Dream and Smile will be a group of students that they want to have true heart and gracious compassion for themselves because they want to be more determined to show our pride and courage in supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku” said Azusa.
“The more that we impressed them through their voice, the better that they’ll be giving us the thrills that we’ll have for sure!” said Miyaka.
Kuniko agrees to what Miyaka said by giving her a smile. “You’re right about that, Miyaka-san! Natsuko and I have been thinking about representing the circle for Ayumu and Shizuku because we want to make them shine by giving them the thrills and smiles that we get, so that they’ll dazzle themselves while performing for NijiGaku. Of course, the purpose of this group is to show some generosity and motivation for them when they’re to make NijiGaku being a prospered club to run and it’s our way of giving them some blessings to bloom and gleam, so that they’ll be able to impress us through their rainbow hearts.”
“There are a lot of groups that were associated to NijiGaku, especially that those who have already become friends with any of them for a long time such as Karin Asaka, Ai Miyashita and Setsuna Yūki” said Mieko.
“They have been very determined to gain their trust on them, thus, they became close with each other at all” said Akiyo.
“That’s why everyone had their own way to shine for them, so that they’ll be able to make themselves thrilled to have their school idol careers progressed in the future” said Rumiko.
“Hopefully, we should be ready to show some pride and compassion to them as it’s our time to bloom and gleam together!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“I believe that there are a lot of groups that they have used to follow the examples of NijiGaku by showing their pride, compassion and thrill to everyone, which means that they’re ready to create their future like the way they used to” said Azusa.
“That way, it will make this community ready to grow with better hopes and blissful dreams to come” said Tsuki.
“Yep! That’s true, Azusa-san and Tsuki-san! Since we formed this group as a purpose of supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku, we’re going to work together to show our rainbow heart” said Kuniko.
“And we’ll give them their pride and courage to show themselves when they’re performing together for NijiGaku. Right, girls?” said Mieko.
“Yeah!” said Azusa and Tsuki.
“Speaking of which, I just found out that the Gleaming Heroine had been formed, composed of the friends of Shizuku and being led by Mizuki Aizawa. They were all second year high school students who have adopted their own ways to inspire everyone, especially for Shizuku. They’re also very determined to gain respect on her, so that they’ll be able to support her in her school idol career” said Azusa.
“Well, that makes me surprised about this, Azusa-san! That group had been showing their determination and compassion to make Shizuku happy and so, they have found their way to express their support on her” said Kuniko.
“I’ll be delighted if they’re going to support her because they have their own true heart to show themselves that they’re prestigious and admired” said Mieko.
“Especially that they have found something special for her when they impressed her” said Akiyo.
“Of course, she’s a member of the drama club, which means that she had found her connections with them before she joined NijiGaku” said Rumiko.
“Which means that she had a lot of friends that she befriended, especially Asako Iwatsuki, who I believe is the manager of that club” said Kyōko.
“Brilliant observation out there, Rumiko-san and Kyōko-san! That’s why it’s going to be fantastic that there will a lot of connections of Shizuku whether they’re coming from Seiran or in our school” said Azusa.
“Any member of NijiGaku had drawn connections on anyone from one family to one side that are composed of friends and allies” said Miyaka.
“That’s why it’ll be amazing for all of us to get along with them, so that we’ll create bonds to get closer with them for sure!” said Akina.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Hopefully, when we’ll meet them very soon, we’re going to gleam with them through our smiles as it’s our time to make us all admired and compassionated” said Kuniko.
“Yeah, we will, Kuniko-san!” said the friends of Shizuku.
Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu would appear to meet with the friends of Shizuku.
“Hi, everyone! How’s the dinner?” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, it’s so delicious!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“That’s great! I’m happy for you!” said Ayumu.
“I hope that you enjoyed eating your dinner because later on, you’ll be ready to dazzle yourselves when you’ll be sharing your own story to us” said Shizuku.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to show anything that you want to imagine, so that you’ll be able to make yourselves thrilled” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“The thrill part of the general assembly will about to begin in 10 minutes and of course, you should be there to take the center stage and shine to impress us” said Ayumu.
“Of course, we will do it!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Now that’s what I like to see your empowerment, girls! I’m very delighted that you’re ready for this!” said Shizuku.
“I’m thrilled to see your motivation out there because you’re all pumped up to go!” said Yu.
“Hopefully, you’ll have your chance to shine all the way through your smiles! That’s what the Dream and Smile do to make themselves cheerful and motivated to start your dream with us!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Let’s see how you’re going to impress us when the sharing time is about to begin. You’ll be making me happy if you’ll find a great story to share for us!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah, Shizuku-san!” said the friends of Shizuku as they’re ready to participate in the thrill part of the general assembly where everyone in the Dream and Smile must share their own story to impress Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
The thrill part of the general assembly would begin where every member of the Dream and Smile has to share its own story. This is their chance to impress Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu since they want to be close to them because they have admired the first two on their school idol careers. Natsuko would begin her sharing before being followed by the friends of Ayumu and then, move onto the next group, which will be the friends of Shizuku.
After Kyōko finished her sharing, it would be Azusa’s turn to share her own story. Shizuku speaks to Azusa while giving her a smile. “Alright, Azusa-san, it’s your turn to shine!”
“Okay, I got this, Shizuku-san!” said Azusa as she’s going to share her own story to impress everyone in the group. “My own story is where why I started to create my own rainbow heart while helping everyone in my community. You see, I came from Toyosu where my parents used to live there for a long time and I started to interact with everyone in the neighborhood. My father had allowed me to meet with neighbors when I was young, but not too far to go out there. This is where I like to bless them with my smile. Then, a few years later, when I entered middle school, I finally started to go around to meet more friends, which is one of the reasons why I created the Majestic Aqua Charm. The Majestic Aqua Charm is a group of students that they have their own dreams to gleam through smiles. I started to assemble that group when I met my friends such as Shina Imanami, Kazuko Ishioka and Fuyumi Koezuka. We used to be classmates in Seiran before transferring together to Nijigasaki for high school.”
“Wow! I’m surprised that you had a group, Azusa-san!” said Natsuko.
“I never heard about that group, but I’m stunned that you had the same ambition as us!” said Mitsuyo.
“Sounds like you had your own crew to assemble to go for the gleaming side” said Kurumi.
“Just like the other friends of Shizuku used to do that for their pride and determination” said Eriko.
“I have to say that you had admired them to make sure that they’ll not let you down” said Sayako.
“And so, you’re very determined to lead that group for sure!” said Runa.
“Yep! I agree with that, girls! My goal for that group is to bring our community in Toyosu to have dreams to make, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves. They didn’t give up at all times because they want to bloom their way and I felt satisfied that we have done a lot of activities to make our community more harmonious” said Azusa.
“That goal sounds good to me! I’m very impressed that your group had been running very well with your own representation because you and your friends have been grooming everyone to gleam” said Natsuko.
“I believe that you’ll have high hopes for your group to run for more, so that you’ll have a lot of thrills to capture with” said Mitsuyo.
“It will be fantastic that you’re going to make everyone ready to feel the thrill with your plans to work up with in the future” said Kurumi.
“Yeah, I will!” said Azusa.
“So, since you had a group to lead, Azusa-san, what your group ambitioned for?” asked Tomiko.
“Actually, my group will try to make our own dreams to give everyone the thrills that they’ll enjoy because I love to make thrills to them, so that they’ll be cherished to keep their friendship with me greatly. Of course, I’m always very generous to show that I’m a respectful person to gleam and shine with. Right now, my group will be planning to get involved in helping our community to amek them cherished by giving some opal pendants as a lucky charm for them. Usually, we made those at my home every month and we distributed those to our allies on our side including mine. Now that I became a student of the Nijigasaki Academy High School, I’m ready to gleam for more!” said Azusa.
“Well, I’m pretty confident that you’re going to show your pride and compassion for them because you have worked hard to lead your team and I believe that you’re going to have a lot of ways to bless them” said Tomiko.
“Your motivation had been looked good to lead your group, Azusa-chan! You’re more charismatic to make them thrilled!” said Chika Hashiguchi, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Your group will be rising enough to become one of the groups that will be running wild while representing for Shizuku” said Satomi Ōshiro, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Which means that you’re going to show your prestigiousness and admiration to prosper for more” said Erika Fukuhara, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the life design course.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to shine your way just like we did!” said Maiko Takano, a second year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the international exchange.
“So that, you’ll be able to cherish them with your own way to shine!” said Azuki Sugiyama, a second year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Yes, indeed, girls! I’m always going for that if I want to show my prestigiousness and admiration to everyone and I believe that I’ll do it to make sure that they’ll shine with their smiles like all we do, right?” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Ayumu.
“I have a question to ask you, Azusa-chan. What’s your first thrill when you entered Nijigasaki in your first day?” said Yu.
“To be honest, Yu-san, I was fascinated to see the facade of the building when I walked there and it was so magnificent to gleam there. I have seen a lot of people entering the building like they’re all excited to for a new year. For me, it’s a great day that I made some experience to thrill there. That’s the part where I met new students in my new class. Too bad that I didn’t get into Kasumi’s class, who had a lot of students that they have including her close friends. My class is much more focused on the prestigious side, but more on the thrilling side there” said Azusa.
“Ah, that’s more surprising to say ‘I’m thrilled!’, but I’m so surprised that you have your experience to enter Nijigasaki in your first day of high school!” said Yu.
“Yep! You’re right about that, Yu-san! My first day in Nijigasaki was a day that I will remember because not only that I took part of a new class, but I got my friends from the Majestic Aqua Charm were there as well! I’m very blissful that I have seen them in my class because they wanted to be me in the same class all along!” said Azusa.
“Oh, I see! So, who are your friends from the Majestic Aqua Charm have become classmates in your section?” replied Yu.
“They were Shina Imanami, Kazuko Ishioka, Fuyumi Koezuka, Hatsumi Kobori, Mitsuko Yamada and Tsubasa Tokita” said Azusa.
“That’s very nice! I hadn’t seen them before because they’re just first years, but what a great group of friends that you got along with! Maybe, I will be happy to meet them one day!” said Yu.
“Well, yes, I could do that as soon as Natsuko will invite them at some other time” said Azusa.
“Ah, sure, I would be glad to! I’m thrilled, anyway!” said Yu.
“In your group, Azusa-san, how many members were there?” asked Shizuku.
“They were nine members, which includes the seven of us. The other two, composed of Atsuko Mitsuhashi and Tsubomi Muraoka, were in Kasumi’s class” said Yu.
“Hey, I recognized both Atsuko and Tsubomi! They have been friends with Kasumi and used to hang out with her for non-school idol stuff!” said Shizuku.
“Kasumi told me that they’re more compassionated to show their rainbow hearts and they have supported her when she performed the song 「Poppin’ Up!」 last week” said Ayumu. The song 「Poppin’ Up!」 was performed by Kasumi Nakasu, who is voiced by Mayu Sagara.
“Oh, I recognized that song, girls! Kasumi had been very cute to show her smile to everyone on her side and I’m very confident to see her thrilled at all!” said Azusa.
“You’re right about that, Azusa-chan! It’s so nice that Kasumi had been doing a great job to impress everyone as she wants to shine her way while continue to stay cute and compassionated” said Ayumu.
“She had been very confident to show her smile and she’s always gonna motivate for us when she’s getting along with us” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, she’ll be thrilled enough to give us the smile that we want because she’ll be more determined to prosper us” said Yu.
“Good for her! I hope that she will keep up the good work as she’s ready to surprise us like the way she’s gonna say cute things!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
“In your own way, what are you expecting for our group?” asked Kuniko.
“I will be expecting to contribute for promoting the school idol club by inspiring them because it would be a great way for them to shine through their thrills and smiles and I want everyone on my side to support them when they’re going to perform together. Also, I’ll watch out for Shizuku when she’s going to perform for the drama club because she’s always admiring everyone to make sure that she’ll make them feel comfortable” said Azusa.
“That’s very nice that you had a lot of expectations to shine with, Azusa-san!” said Kuniko.
“I’m very thrilled that you’ll be ready to get along with us because we want to make the difference to follow the examples of Ayumu and Shizuku” said Mieko.
“By showing our rainbow heart to make sure that we’re going to shine together while supporting them” said Akiyo.
“It’ll be fantastic that we’re going to gleam together with our hearts, so that we’ll be able to have more thrills to make us compassionated” said Rumiko.
“You’ll be more confident to be part of us when we’ll supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku and of course, you can count on them for sure!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, you got it, girls! I’ll never let everyone down because I’ll be here to represent for Shizuku!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Since you’re a member of the Dream and Smile, Azusa-san, I hope that you’ll be able to create your own thrill to everyone because it will be amazing that you’re going to represent for me and Ayumu as we’ll be ready to shine together when we’re performing for our school idol club” said Shizuku.
“You’re welcome to get thrilled at any time when you’ll be representing for that group, which means that you’ll be ready to shine with us with your smile!” said Ayumu.
“Smile is very important for everyone because it creates endless thrills to make everyone happy and delighted. Hopefully, you’ll be more determined to be with them in no time!” said Yu.
“Yes, I will, girls! I’ll be happy to get along with you through the bottom of my heart!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
After Azusa’s sharing is concluded, the rest of the friends of Shizuku would share their own stories to make everyone feeling thrilled and compassionated, thus, they give them a smile. Once the thrill part is concluded, Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu would finally conclude the general assembly together.
“Anyway, that’s gonna be the end of the general assembly of the Dream and Smile, everyone! I hope that you’re all enjoyed to get along with each other for the first time in this group because right now, you can do anything to make yourself comfortable and bloomed when you’re represent for that group” said Ayumu.
“It’s very important that the heart is the important key to make yourself comfortable and bloomed and you have to be more prospered when you’re supporting us” said Shizuku.
“The Dream and Smile will always be the home of dreams and hearts to make everyone ready to bloom and shine all the way!” said Yu.
“Hopefully, you’ll be able to find your happiness with us if you need anything to thrill. We’ll be cheering for you as always!” said Ayumu.
“That way, you’ll be very confident that you’ll have us on your side and of course, you’ll develop a great friendship with us for sure!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“To conclude this event, I have one more announcement to make because this one is very important” said Ayumu.
“What announcement that you’re going to tell us, Ayumu-chan?” asked Natsuko.
“Yeah, we’re wondering about this” said Kuniko.
“The Dream and Smile will be appointing Yu Takasaki as the consultant while me and Shizuku will be acting as supervisors to help you grow your confidence to make this group more blooming and more gleaming” siad Ayumu.
“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Dream and Smile.
“You’re gonna be with us at all time?!” shouted Natsuko.
“You got to be kidding me!” exclaimed Mitsuyo.
“I can’t believe that you’ll be with us even you are part of NijiGaku!” reacted Kuniko.
“Don’t tell me that you have a lot of duties to work with since you’re all school idols!” added Mieko.
“Ah, of course not! We’re not gonna stay with you girls in that group, but we’ll be occasionally gotten along with you for activities” said Ayumu.
“That way, we’ll be thrilled to see you shine when you’re going to represent for us” said Shizuku.
“Okay, we understand about that” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Don’t worry, girls! Even Ayumu and Shizuku are members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, they’ll still be here to comfort you at all through your rainbow heart” said Yu.
“It’s very important you’ll always give us the smile when you’re representing for us because it will you more thrilled to develop your friendship with us” said Ayumu.
“The more that you developed your friendship with us, the better that you’ll be able to get close to us” said Shizuku.
“So, always remember that you’ll start your dream with us here in the Dream and Smile! Right, everyone?” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“That’s great! I’m very, very thrilled for you!” said Yu.
“We’ll see you around when we’ll meet with each other again!” said Ayumu.
“Just stay comfortable and thrilled, everyone!” said Shizuku.
“Okay, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile as the general assembly had come to a close.
While the members of the Dream and Smile have agreed to stay at the Uehara Residence until 8:00 in the evening, they’ll still have a lot of fun to develop their friendship with Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
Natsuko, Kuniko and Azusa would get along with Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu at the terrace where they’re watching the stars shining bright.
“Oh, look at the stars out there, girls! They’re so beautiful!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah! They’re shining bright just like us!” said Ayumu.
“It feels great that I want to wish upon a star when I had my own dream to gleam with!” said Shizuku.
“It makes me feel comfortable to see those that one day, they’ll continue to glow all night when I’ll see those again” said Yu.
“Yes, indeed! These stars are pretty gleamy out there to show up through the night” said Natsuko.
“It’s a sign that we’re all gonna shine one day when we’ll running together” said Kuniko.
“Hopefully, we’ll make progress for our group to make sure that we’ll have the thrills to enjoy with!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
“By the way, Azusa-chan, I heard that you’re wishing to join the connection circle of Shizuku. Is that what you’re planning?” said Ayumu.
“Yes, of course, Ayumu-san! I was fascinated to see Shizuku performing in a stage play last year. I became her classmate for three years in middle school before I ended up moving to Nijigasaki for high school. I thought that Shizuku would be enrolling in Seiran for high school, but she ended up moving to the same school as I am” said Azusa.
“Yeah, I agree with that, Azusa-san! I had been an honor student in Seiran for three years as well as my acting skills have been developed, which I supposed to stay there for three more years, but instead I decided to follow Ayumu’s choice of going to Nijigasaki, taking the international exchange course” said Shizuku.
“Whoa! You must be very determined to have your own dream to work on, Shizuku-chan!” said Natsuko.
“Yes, I am! I’m always determined to study in Nijigasaki rather than Seiran because I like the quality of learning in that school as well as they have offered me to join the drama club, which I did!” said Shizuku while giving Natsuko a smile.
“Ah, I’m glad that you made it to make sure that you’re prospering for your future to be brighter, Shizuku-chan!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said Shizuku.
“So, if you’re connected to Shizuku, Azusa-chan, then you’re allowed to take part of her connection circle. Isn’t that right?” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Azusa.
“Well, I’m happy that you had recognized me for a long time since you’re very determined to thrill with me and I’m very delighted that you’re a good classmate too in Seiran! Of course, Ayumu and I were very close with each other, even we’re differently apart from our schools” said Shizuku.
“That’s right, Shizuku-chan! Shizuku and I were used to be living in the same hometown in Toyosu, but we studied in separate schools with me entering Yumezawa while Shizuku in Mizukumo. However, we became close with each other through our own ideas to create with, especially with our relatives because we’re more compassionated to make dreams come true” said Ayumu.
“Hey, I also joined your circle too, Ayumu, which is why we’re all running together after all!” said Yu.
“Yeah, Yu-chan! We’re all close friends with each other since childhood friends and now, we’re in the same school!” said Ayumu.
“Hopefully, you’ll always come out to shine together with us because we’re going to start our dreams together!” said Shizuku.
“Yep!” said Yu.
“I see what the connection is going, girls” said Kuniko.
“What do you mean ‘connection’, Kuniko-san?” asked Shizuku.
“It looks like Azusa had been a friend of yours, thus she would be allowed to join your connection circle just like how you did it to me last month” said Kuniko.
“Ah, yes, I know about that, Kuniko-san! That’s why anyone is welcome to join my connection whether you’re a classmate or ally” said Shizuku.
“Anyone can make thrills with us, so that they’ll be able to bloom and gleam with us for sure!” said Ayumu.
“Of course, since you lead your own group, that would be fantastic that you’re going to groom Shizuku, Azusa-chan!” said Yu.
“Yes, that’s true, Yu-san! I’m very confident that I’ll be getting along with Shizuku at any time that I want and I’m hoping that I’ll be seeing her beauty when she’s performing one day” said Azusa.
“You’re very compassionated to me when you said that you want to admire me, Azusa-san, and I’m cherished to see you smiling on me. As a result, I’ll be inviting you to join my connection circle since you’re my schoolmate, of course!” said Shizuku.
“Really, Shizuku-san? For real?!” surprisingly replied Azusa.
“Yeah, Azusa-san!” said Shizuku.
“Then, I’m in!” declared Azusa as she’s officially joining the connection circle of Shizuku. “I’m happy to be part of your connection circle, Shizuku-san! I’m ready to gleam whatever you’re ready to shine!”
“That’s the spirit, Azusa-san! Welcome to my connection circle!” said Shizuku.
“Thank you very much, Shizuku-san!” said Azusa while giving Shizuku a smile.
“You’re welcome!” said Shizuku while giving Azusa a smile in return.
“Now that’s what I want to see your smile, Azusa-san! Shizuku had been an admired actress and school idol and she’ll do anything to cheer for you!” said Kuniko.
“You’ll be ready to represent for her when you’re going to see her performing through her heart” said Natsuko.
“Yeah, I will!” said Azusa.
“Congratulations, Azusa-chan! I’m so happy that you’re finally getting thrilled that you are part of the connection circle of Shizuku! I have welcomed a lot of my friends to be part of my connection circle and they have been delighted to be with me after all!” said Ayumu.
“You’ll get used to it when you’re representing for your close friend when NijiGaku will be performing together in the future” said Yu.
“Sure, I would be glad to! Thank you very much, Ayumu-san and Yu-san!” said Azusa.
“You’re welcome!” said Ayumu and Yu.
“So, Azusa-san, how do you feel that you’re now part of my connection circle?” asked Shizuku.
“I’m feeling thrilled, Shizuku-san! I mean, I had joined the Dream and Smile because I want to support you on your school idol career and I’m always motivated to see you shine just like the star that shines bright” said Azusa.
“Ah, that makes me feel admired that you’re here to shine with me! Well, I’m happy with that, thanks to your smile that you made me cherished!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Azusa. “You’re a good friend with a true heart!”
“Wow! That’s so sweet! I like the way you expressed to me, Azusa-san! You’re always coming out like you’re shouting my name!” said Shizuku.
“Yes, of course! Hopefully, we’ll gonna get along with each other any time when your friends on your side will be there for a gathering very soon!” said Azusa.
“Yeah, we will do that together, so that we’ll be able to gleam together through our smiles!” said Shizuku.
“We can allow anything to make yourself thrilled, Azusa-chan! We’ll have to organize those in the future if we’re not busy on our school idol stuff” said Ayumu.
“You’ll be our guests to bloom and gleam with us because we’ll start our dreams right here!” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Azusa while Natsuko and Kuniko are smiling on their faces without saying a word.
“For now, let’s shine together while we’ll see the stars in the sky!” said Shizuku.
“That will make us all gleamed and prestigious to admire them!” said Ayumu.
“Hopefully, you’ll be thrilled to make this night blooming and harmonious!” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Natsuko, Kuniko and Azusa. Azusa had been thrilled for the entire day when she attended the general assembly of the Dream and Smile as she had been able to fascinate everyone through her smiles to make them feel comfortable, especially that she had been a friend of Shizuku. She had been very determined to make herself compassionated to be part of that group and of course, she would also confirm to join the connection circle of Shizuku as well due to her connection with her as a classmate. Hopefully, Azusa will be ready to bloom and gleam to show her compassion to Shizuku, so that she’ll be more comfortable to give her a smile.

Dream and Smile: Natsuko Igarashi, Mitsuyo Kawaguchi, Kurumi Yamanaka, Eriko Matsuzawa, Sayako Nishimoto, Runa Kawamoto, Tomiko Nakahara, Chika Hashiguchi, Satomi Ōshiro, Erika Fukuhara, Maiko Takano, Azuki Sugiyama, Kuniko Miyata, Mieko Tomizawa, Akiyo Shiotani, Rumiko Asahara, Kyōko Matsukawa, Azusa Yasukawa, Miyaka Takamatsu, Akina Morinaka, Riko Kusaka, Tsuki Kinomoto, Saika Ueda and Ichiko Tsukayama
“Welcome to the general assembly of the Dream and Smile! It’s been an honor to take part of this event because you’re all here to start your dreams with us!” said Ayumu.
“We want you to be more thrilled to get along with us now that the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club had been re-organized with the help of Yu Takasaki” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, you’ll have some fun to make this event more blooming and gleaming because it’s the time of the year to make yourselves thrilled” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Now, I would like to give a round of applause for the leader of Dream and Smile, Natsuko Igarashi, for the opening remarks of this event!” said Ayumu.
The members of Dream and Smile would clap their hands together for Natsuko, who will about to make her speech to kick off the general assembly.
“Thank you, Ayumu-chan!” said Natsuko while giving Ayumu a smile before doing her speech for the opening remarks of the general assembly. “So, this is the first time that we formed this group as it will be composed of students who wanted to shine just like Ayumu and Shizuku did as we’re supporting them on their school idol careers. I had been planning on this a few days ago when we gathered together to form this group. Everyone had agreed to form this group and so, we finally have our thrills to create with as the Dream and Smile will be the home of the young girls that they have their own dreams to bloom and gleam for the better future. Also, not only that NijiGaku had been re-organized a few weeks ago, but everyone can shine in their own way to prosper themselves with thrill and smile because this is what we do to make us all shined together. The more that we supported both Ayumu and Shizuku, the better that will develop our friendship with them as they will be ready to make progress for their club. Hopefully, you’re all excited to see something that will fascinate you, right?”
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“That’s great! I knew that you’re counting us like that because it’ll be amazing that you’re going to see better hopes and blissful dreams to make up with for our future and so, you should prepare ourselves to shine in our way” said Natsuko.
“Yes, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Now, before we’ll start the activities that we’ll about to make, I’ll be explaining about why we’re all here in the Uehara Residence” said Natsuko as she’s going to explain about the purpose of the general assembly. “So, Ayumu and I have planned about this after the Dream and Smile was formed where we wanted to organize a small party at her home right here. I had been very confident about the way Ayumu had welcomed us because she’s more cheerful towards her thrills being paid off. Now that she’s part of NijiGaku, then why not creating an event for a circle group that will be representing for Ayumu and Shizuku.”
“Yeah, I agree with that, Natsuko-chan!” said Ayumu while nodding her head to agree with Natsuko. “Any group that is associated to NijiGaku whether being formed before or after the re-organization, thus they have their own opportunities to create thrills for everyone. I had been very delighted to see those, especially that my cousins Shinako, Azusa and Maika and Shizuku’s cousin Hinako have formed their own circle to represent the bravehearts that supported the two of us.”
“The Dream Pink and Aqua Group had been an example of making the friendship between them and the two of us getting developed longer since we’re related to each other. Of course, a lot of groups have their own ways to treat us like they wanted to be close to us, which is why anyone can make friends through thrills, so that they’ll be able to prosper themselves with their rainbow hearts” said Shizuku.
Natsuko gives Shizuku a smile before replying to her. “That’s true, Shizuku-chan! This general assembly will be the seed of our friendship that will be prospered, so that everyone in the Dream and Smile will be ready to shine themselves through the thrills that we have. Of course, the Dream and Smile will be focused on helping people to create hopes and dreams through our hearts to make themselves prospered. With Ayumu’s own representation of being a true heart school idol and Shizuku’s own representation of being a theatrical school idol, we want to be more confident to show that we’ll be preparing to groom them to have success in their school idol careers. Isn’t that right, girls?”
“Yeah!” said Ayumu and Shizuku while Yu nods her head in agreement without saying a word, even she’s aspired to become a school idol.
“Of course, everyone will make opportunities to bring this group being one of the blooming groups to represent for NijiGaku and hopefully, we’ll have a good year to progress with” said Natsuko.
“Yeah, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“To start this event, there will be two stages: the fun part and the thrilling part. The fun part will be composed of a little round of activities that you’re going to enjoy and it will be up for grabs to give you some prizes from Ayumu and Shizuku. Then, the thrill part will be a sharing conversation where you’re going to make us thrill with your own story to make. I hope that you have your stories in the books for that part later on, right?” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
Kuniko Miyata would ask Azusa Yasukawa if the latter had a story to share for the thrill part. “Azusa-san, did you have that story that you’re going to tell?”
“Well, of course, Kuniko-san! I apparently worked on my goals to share with. I want to be more confident to keep Shizuku being happy and determined to make sure that she’ll never let herself down while being a young actress and school idol” said Azusa Yasukawa, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and the leader of the Majestic Aqua Charm. She’s also a friend of Shizuku from the general course, but not belonged to Kasumi’s class.
“Ah, I know what you’re going to share, Azusa-san! I mean, you’re more charismatic like the way Shizuku did because you liked her way of being an aspiring actress with her blooming heart” said Kuniko.
“Yes, she was! I like to be more admired to her because not only that she’s a good neighbor of mine, but she’ll be ready to gleam her way when she’ll be performing for the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club” said Azusa.
“Oh, that’s a good way to make Shizuku happy, Azusa-san! I’m so excited that you’re going to follow her activities after you accepted the invitation to join our group!” said Mieko Tomizawa.
“Here, in the Dream and Smile, this is a group where everyone will make their dreams to create with, so that they’ll be able to thrill themselves while supporting Ayumu and Shizuku on their school idol careers” said Akiyo Shiotani.
“That’s why you should be involved in making thrills to Ayumu and Shizuku because you’re gonna make them feel delighted to see you supporting them and hopefully, you’ll find yourself in a better group for good hopes and prospered dreams for sure!” said Kuniko.
“Yes, I will!” said Azusa while affirming herself with a smile.
“Hopefully, this event will be blooming and gleaming to enjoy because our dream starts here!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile before Natsuko gives the microphone to Ayumu.
“Thank you very much, Natsuko-chan!” said Ayumu before declaring that the general assembly of the Dream and Smile will begin. “With that said, let’s get this general assembly started!”
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile as the general assembly had finally begun.
The montage would show the activities that have been held in the general assembly.
“First up, it’s time to play a game of newspaper dance!” said Ayumu.
“The rules are simple. When the music stops, a pair must stay in the paper and make sure that you’re not stepping outside the paper, otherwise, you’re out of the game” said Shizuku.
“Now, we’ll be dividing you into pairs, so that Yu will give you a page of newspaper for this game” said Ayumu.
“Okay!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
Ayumu and Shizuku would divide the members of the Dream and Smile into pairs. Azusa would end up pairing with Kyōko Matsukawa.
“I’m thrilled that I had a good partner coming from the international exchange course!” said Azusa.
“Yes, indeed! We’re going to work together to win this game!” said Kyōko Matsukawa.
“Yeah, you got it!” said Azusa.
“I brought some old newspapers in my home and so, you’ll have to use those for the entire game” said Yu before giving the members of the Dream and Smile a page of newspaper.
Yu would give Kyōko and Azusa a page of newspaper. “Here you go!”
“Thanks, Yu-san!” said Kyōko and Azusa.
“Now, when the music plays, you’ll have to show your dance moves to put some thrills going up!” said Shizuku.
“Okay!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Then, here we go!” said Ayumu while Yu plays the music player with the song 「CALL&GOAL!」 being played as the background song of the game. The song is performed by Prima Porta, composed of Aguri Ōnishi, Mayu Sagara, Shū Uchida, Tomoyo Takayanagi and Yukina Shutō.
Kyōko and Azusa would battle against the other pairs as they’ll try their best to stay in their positions, so that they’ll not be able to get out of the game. Kyōko and Azusa have managed to survived four rounds with half of the pairs are out of the game throughout the first game.
Just then, when the fifth round would about to begin Kyōko and Azusa have finally brought on idea on their strategy.
“We should be quick to stay inside the page if we want to win this game by not falling around” said Kyōko.
“Oh, yes! We have to act faster to do that, Kyōko-san, because we have to be more careful if we don’t want to be out of the game” said Azusa.
“Of course!” said Kyōko.
“Now, we have to think better while dancing because we have to be more focused on winning this game. That would be fantastic to turn things around to get the last laugh, right?” said Azusa.
“Yep!” said Kyōko.
When Yu presses the play button to continue playing the song, Kyōko gives the signal to Azusa. “Now, let’s do this!”
“Yeah!” said Azusa while giving Kyōko a smile as the pair would dance with their moves.
Ayumu and Shizuku are observing the remaining pairs while dancing outside of the newspaper page. Aside from the pair of Kyōko and Azusa, the remaining pairs are composed of Natsuko and Mitsuyo, Satomi and Erika and Kuniko and Mieko.
“They’re still dazzling with their moves after they have survived four rounds” said Shizuku.
“Yep! Now, they have to be more careful on this round because there’s a chance that either one or more will be out of the game if they made mistakes out there” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, I believe so, but we’ll only gonna find out if they’ll be lucky to survive this round with their strategic plan” said Shizuku.
“Of course, they have their plans, Shizuku-chan! However, there’s only one pair going to survive with the most strategic one whether it’s on my side or your side” said Ayumu.
“Well, we’re about to find out when the music stops” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu.
A few seconds later, Yu would stop playing the music player by pausing it, giving the four pairs their time to get into the newspaper page.
“Now, we have to be careful on this!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah!” said Azusa. Both Kyōko and Azusa are getting into the possession to stay in the newspaper page. Meanwhile, the other pairs would do the same thing except the pair of Satomi and Erika, who failed to survive the round when Erika stepped out of the newspaper page, thus, they’re out of the game.
“Okay, we have one pair down!” said Ayumu.
“Thank you for participating this event, Satomi-san and Erika-san!” said Shizuku.
“So, we’re now down to just 3. The pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo, the pair of Kuniko and Mieko and the pair of Kyōko and Azusa are still standing in this game” said Ayumu.
“They have their own resilience to work it out and they’re all set for the next round!” said Shizuku.
“Yep! I bet that the next round will even difficult to make it and they have to fold their newspaper pages into halves again before they’ll try to find a way to survive this game” said Yu.
“You got that right, Yu-chan! Those three must be very careful in trying to get away with this because this round would be trickier than I’m expecting” said Ayumu.
“True, Ayumu-san. They need to find another plan to survive this round to make sure that they’ll stay in the game or else, they’re out of the game” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu and Yu.
“The three pairs will be ready to face the toughest round because anything can happen that one of them will win this contest” said Yu.
“Probably, Yu-chan, but we’ll see about that when this round is on the way!” said Ayumu.
“This is going to be a challenge for them and so, they should be smart enough to survive this round for sure!” said Shizuku.
“You got it, girls!” said Yu.
Kyōko and Azusa would speak with each other in a pep talk before the game resumes.
“Whew! That was so close!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, we’re still in the game to take care of business, but I have a feeling that this one would be hard to get” said Azusa.
“Well, I agree about this, but let’s not waste time because we have to be careful now on trying to win this game. We should think it harder if we can work together as soon as possible” said Kyōko.
“You bet, Kyōko-san! Let’s try our best!” said Azusa.
“Got it!” said Kyōkō.
“And now, here comes the sixth round!” said Shizuku.
“Girls, you must be mindful to have a strategy to set it out!” said Ayumu.
“Okay!” said Natsuko, Mieko, Kuniko, Mieko, Kyōko and Azusa.
“Then, let’s continue this song!” said Yu.
“Okay!” said Natsuko, Mieko, Kuniko, Mieko, Kyōko and Azusa while Yu resumes playing the music player for the sixth round.
The three pairs would show their dance moves to dazzle themselves for 30 seconds. Kyōko and Azusa are doing great to keep their momentum alive by imitating the moves that Ayumu and Shizuku learned every practice.
Kyōko and Azusa would think on their minds while dancing together with Kyōko speaks to herself first. “This is very crucial and I have to be careful on this right now.”
Azusa would do the same thing to speak to herself. “We need this to survive another round. I know that this is tough, but here goes nothing.”
Yu would stop playing the music, giving the signal to the three pairs to get into the position.
“Now!” shouted Kyōko as she and Azusa would try to position themselves inside the newspaper page without landing outside of it. They did the cheerleading posture, which is the hardest pose to do for a pair. Just then, Kyōko started to lower her knees, but she’s still hustling herself to stay in the position. Meanwhile, the pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo and the pair of Kuniko and Mieko have tried their best to stay into their positions with their poses being made, but unfortunately, Kuniko and Mieko stepped outside of the newspaper page while Natsuko and Mitsuyo are about to lose their balance when they tried to stand themselves in 5 seconds.
After 15 seconds, Ayumu and Shizuku would observe the three pairs to see who is the last pair standing.
Ayumu had observed the pair of Natsuko and Mitsuyo to see if they’re still in the game or not, but she saw Mitsuyo landing her toe into the floor, thus she declares to them. “Okay, you two are out!”
Shizuku had to eliminate the pair of Kuniko and Mieko after failing to meet the requirement when they stepped out of the newspaper page while trying to stay into their positions. “You’re stepping outside of the newspaper page and I have to eliminate the two of you.”
“Which means that the pair of Kyōko and Azusa is still standing with their posture, despite Kyōko is seemed to lose her balance” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, they’re very smart to create their pose and stand there for a long time” said Shizuku.
“I bet that we have a winner for this one!” said Yu.
“Of course, Yu-san!” said Ayumu and Shizuku.
Kyōko and Azusa would finally become exhausted from standing in their pose as Ayumu would declare the winner of the first activity.
“And the winner of the first activity goes to the pair of Kyōko and Azusa!” said Ayumu.
“Congratulations to the two of you!” said Shizuku while Yu gives the prize to Kyōko and Azusa.
“Here are the bracelets! You can wear it whatever you want!” said Yu while giving both Kyōko and Azusa a smile.
“Oh, that’s very nice! Thank you very much, Yu-san!” said Kyōko and Azusa.
“You’re welcome!” said Yu.
“Now that the first activity is done, let’s move on to the next activity!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile while a montage would show the rest of the activities that have been held during the fun part of the general assembly. The second game would be the ‘Bring Me’ activity where everyone had to use their own personal belongings, in order to win prizes. Azusa was able to win a prize when Ayumu told the girls to bring a butterfly hairpin. Then, it would be followed by the quiz bee where the four girls will contest to determine the smartest person to answer all questions, which was won by Tomiko Nakahara. The fourth activity would be the charade contest where they have to guess the answer while Yu is acting through hand signals without saying a word. This activity was won by Kuniko’s team where they defeated Natsuko’s team, 5-3.
The fifth and final activity will be a singing competition where the eight girls that were picked by Ayumu to contest against each other to determine the best singer in the group. The participants are Kurumi Yamanaka, Tomiko Nakahara, Erika Fukuhara, Maiko Takano, Akiyo Shiotani, Kyōko Matsukawa, Miyaka Takamatsu and Riko Kusaka. Azusa would cheer for Kyōko and Miyaka when they’re performing their own songs. Kyōko had performed the song 「Elder Flower」, performed by Aguri Ōnishi while Miyaka had performed the song 「海と真珠」, performed by JUNNA. The former is the ending theme song of Seirei Gensouki while the latter is the opening theme song of Kaizoku Oujo.
While listening to Kyōko and Miyaka performing their songs, Azusa had been motivated to see them shining their way through their voice just like Ayumu and Shizuku did, thus she became impressed of their performance.
After the panel of judges, composed of Natsuko, Kuniko and Yu, compiled the results to determine the winners of the fifth and final activity, Ayumu and Shizuku would announce together to reveal the winners.
“The third place of the singing competition with the score of 94 goes to…” said Ayumu before reading the name on the paper. “…Miyaka Takamatsu!”
“You made it, Miyaka-san!” said Azusa.
“You had a tremendous performance to make us feel good!” said Akina Morinaka, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the general course.
“You’re looking great to shine out!” said Tsuki Kinomoto, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“I’m happy that you have performed well to impress us!” said Saika Ueda, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“You’ll be a superstar if you want to step up to perform for us!” said Ichiko Tsukayama, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the life design course.
“Thanks, girls! I hope that you liked it!” said Miyaka Takamatsu while giving Akina, Tsuki, Saika and Ichiko a smile on her face. Miyaka is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Shizuku from the general course.
“Yeah!” said Azusa, Akina, Tsuki, Saika and Ichiko.
“Now, the second place of the singing competition with the score of 96 goes to…” said Shizuku before reading the name on the paper. “…Kyōko Matsukawa!”
“Atta girl, Kyōko-san! You made it to the podium too!” said Azusa.
“You’re very dazzling too just like Miyaka!” said Mieko.
“You’re looking forward to be a superstar as well!” said Rumiko Asahara.
“Well, it worth a shot to make it, but I’m way too close to win this, but I hope that the winner will be coming from our side” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, we hope so” said Mieko, Rumiko and Azusa.
“And that means, the winner of the singing competition with the score of 97 goes to…” said Ayumu before reading the name on the paper. “…Tomiko Nakahara!”
“Congratulations to you, Tomiko-san! You’re a superstar!” said Shizuku.
Tomiko was surprised that she had won the singing competition as she received a prize, which is a colored notebook with the symbol of ribbon and droplet in the cover from Ayumu. “Thank you, Ayumu-chan!” Tomiko gives Ayumu a smile on her face to thank her. Tomiko is a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the life design course.
“You’re welcome!” said Ayumu while giving Tomiko a smile.
“Now that the fun part had been concluded, it’s time to pause this event for dinner and after that, it’s time to share your story with your smile and thrill when the thrill part will begin!” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, you’ll be ready to show us your thrills when you’ll share your story because it will be amazing for all of us to know about you!” said Yu.
“Thrill is the important thing for all of us and so, you’ll be ready to bloom and gleam with us for sure!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
The members of the Dream and Smile would start picking up their dinner by selecting different kinds of food that were served by Tomiko and Chika Hashiguchi.
The friends of Shizuku would start their conversation while eating their dinner together with Kuniko speaking to them first. “Wow! You girls did a great job in participating in the activities! Shizuku had been delighted to see you shine!”
“Yes, we are!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“It feels great that we have showed our pride and compassion to make sure that we’re gonna make her proud!” said Mieko.
“Most of us have been able to show how it’s done, especially that Kyōko, Azusa and Miyaka have been shining all the way to make themselves earned” said Akiyo.
“It’s so fantastic that this event had given us the thrills to make us energized to start a new dream for this group and hopefully, we’re going to give Ayumu and Shizuku their thrills to empower themselves” said Rumiko.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Kuniko.
“You know, girls, it’s been a while that we haven’t known with each other at first because we’re coming from different schools before, but thankfully, we finally recognized with each other since we’re belonged to Shizuku’s connection circle” said Kyōko.
“Yep! That’s true, Kyōko-san! We want to represent for her because she had been dazzling her way with her smile, so that she’ll be able to shine her career as a theatrical school idol” said Kuniko.
“She can do whatever she wants because she’s always gonna lead with her smile that we’ll never forget!” said Mieko.
“Yes, indeed! While being part of her own connection circle, we have so many things to explore when we formed this special group” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, the Dream and Smile will be a group of students that they want to have true heart and gracious compassion for themselves because they want to be more determined to show our pride and courage in supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku” said Azusa.
“The more that we impressed them through their voice, the better that they’ll be giving us the thrills that we’ll have for sure!” said Miyaka.
Kuniko agrees to what Miyaka said by giving her a smile. “You’re right about that, Miyaka-san! Natsuko and I have been thinking about representing the circle for Ayumu and Shizuku because we want to make them shine by giving them the thrills and smiles that we get, so that they’ll dazzle themselves while performing for NijiGaku. Of course, the purpose of this group is to show some generosity and motivation for them when they’re to make NijiGaku being a prospered club to run and it’s our way of giving them some blessings to bloom and gleam, so that they’ll be able to impress us through their rainbow hearts.”
“There are a lot of groups that were associated to NijiGaku, especially that those who have already become friends with any of them for a long time such as Karin Asaka, Ai Miyashita and Setsuna Yūki” said Mieko.
“They have been very determined to gain their trust on them, thus, they became close with each other at all” said Akiyo.
“That’s why everyone had their own way to shine for them, so that they’ll be able to make themselves thrilled to have their school idol careers progressed in the future” said Rumiko.
“Hopefully, we should be ready to show some pride and compassion to them as it’s our time to bloom and gleam together!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“I believe that there are a lot of groups that they have used to follow the examples of NijiGaku by showing their pride, compassion and thrill to everyone, which means that they’re ready to create their future like the way they used to” said Azusa.
“That way, it will make this community ready to grow with better hopes and blissful dreams to come” said Tsuki.
“Yep! That’s true, Azusa-san and Tsuki-san! Since we formed this group as a purpose of supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku, we’re going to work together to show our rainbow heart” said Kuniko.
“And we’ll give them their pride and courage to show themselves when they’re performing together for NijiGaku. Right, girls?” said Mieko.
“Yeah!” said Azusa and Tsuki.
“Speaking of which, I just found out that the Gleaming Heroine had been formed, composed of the friends of Shizuku and being led by Mizuki Aizawa. They were all second year high school students who have adopted their own ways to inspire everyone, especially for Shizuku. They’re also very determined to gain respect on her, so that they’ll be able to support her in her school idol career” said Azusa.
“Well, that makes me surprised about this, Azusa-san! That group had been showing their determination and compassion to make Shizuku happy and so, they have found their way to express their support on her” said Kuniko.
“I’ll be delighted if they’re going to support her because they have their own true heart to show themselves that they’re prestigious and admired” said Mieko.
“Especially that they have found something special for her when they impressed her” said Akiyo.
“Of course, she’s a member of the drama club, which means that she had found her connections with them before she joined NijiGaku” said Rumiko.
“Which means that she had a lot of friends that she befriended, especially Asako Iwatsuki, who I believe is the manager of that club” said Kyōko.
“Brilliant observation out there, Rumiko-san and Kyōko-san! That’s why it’s going to be fantastic that there will a lot of connections of Shizuku whether they’re coming from Seiran or in our school” said Azusa.
“Any member of NijiGaku had drawn connections on anyone from one family to one side that are composed of friends and allies” said Miyaka.
“That’s why it’ll be amazing for all of us to get along with them, so that we’ll create bonds to get closer with them for sure!” said Akina.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Hopefully, when we’ll meet them very soon, we’re going to gleam with them through our smiles as it’s our time to make us all admired and compassionated” said Kuniko.
“Yeah, we will, Kuniko-san!” said the friends of Shizuku.
Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu would appear to meet with the friends of Shizuku.
“Hi, everyone! How’s the dinner?” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, it’s so delicious!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“That’s great! I’m happy for you!” said Ayumu.
“I hope that you enjoyed eating your dinner because later on, you’ll be ready to dazzle yourselves when you’ll be sharing your own story to us” said Shizuku.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to show anything that you want to imagine, so that you’ll be able to make yourselves thrilled” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“The thrill part of the general assembly will about to begin in 10 minutes and of course, you should be there to take the center stage and shine to impress us” said Ayumu.
“Of course, we will do it!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Now that’s what I like to see your empowerment, girls! I’m very delighted that you’re ready for this!” said Shizuku.
“I’m thrilled to see your motivation out there because you’re all pumped up to go!” said Yu.
“Hopefully, you’ll have your chance to shine all the way through your smiles! That’s what the Dream and Smile do to make themselves cheerful and motivated to start your dream with us!” said Ayumu.
“Yeah, we agree!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Let’s see how you’re going to impress us when the sharing time is about to begin. You’ll be making me happy if you’ll find a great story to share for us!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah, Shizuku-san!” said the friends of Shizuku as they’re ready to participate in the thrill part of the general assembly where everyone in the Dream and Smile must share their own story to impress Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
The thrill part of the general assembly would begin where every member of the Dream and Smile has to share its own story. This is their chance to impress Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu since they want to be close to them because they have admired the first two on their school idol careers. Natsuko would begin her sharing before being followed by the friends of Ayumu and then, move onto the next group, which will be the friends of Shizuku.
After Kyōko finished her sharing, it would be Azusa’s turn to share her own story. Shizuku speaks to Azusa while giving her a smile. “Alright, Azusa-san, it’s your turn to shine!”
“Okay, I got this, Shizuku-san!” said Azusa as she’s going to share her own story to impress everyone in the group. “My own story is where why I started to create my own rainbow heart while helping everyone in my community. You see, I came from Toyosu where my parents used to live there for a long time and I started to interact with everyone in the neighborhood. My father had allowed me to meet with neighbors when I was young, but not too far to go out there. This is where I like to bless them with my smile. Then, a few years later, when I entered middle school, I finally started to go around to meet more friends, which is one of the reasons why I created the Majestic Aqua Charm. The Majestic Aqua Charm is a group of students that they have their own dreams to gleam through smiles. I started to assemble that group when I met my friends such as Shina Imanami, Kazuko Ishioka and Fuyumi Koezuka. We used to be classmates in Seiran before transferring together to Nijigasaki for high school.”
“Wow! I’m surprised that you had a group, Azusa-san!” said Natsuko.
“I never heard about that group, but I’m stunned that you had the same ambition as us!” said Mitsuyo.
“Sounds like you had your own crew to assemble to go for the gleaming side” said Kurumi.
“Just like the other friends of Shizuku used to do that for their pride and determination” said Eriko.
“I have to say that you had admired them to make sure that they’ll not let you down” said Sayako.
“And so, you’re very determined to lead that group for sure!” said Runa.
“Yep! I agree with that, girls! My goal for that group is to bring our community in Toyosu to have dreams to make, so that they’ll be able to shine themselves. They didn’t give up at all times because they want to bloom their way and I felt satisfied that we have done a lot of activities to make our community more harmonious” said Azusa.
“That goal sounds good to me! I’m very impressed that your group had been running very well with your own representation because you and your friends have been grooming everyone to gleam” said Natsuko.
“I believe that you’ll have high hopes for your group to run for more, so that you’ll have a lot of thrills to capture with” said Mitsuyo.
“It will be fantastic that you’re going to make everyone ready to feel the thrill with your plans to work up with in the future” said Kurumi.
“Yeah, I will!” said Azusa.
“So, since you had a group to lead, Azusa-san, what your group ambitioned for?” asked Tomiko.
“Actually, my group will try to make our own dreams to give everyone the thrills that they’ll enjoy because I love to make thrills to them, so that they’ll be cherished to keep their friendship with me greatly. Of course, I’m always very generous to show that I’m a respectful person to gleam and shine with. Right now, my group will be planning to get involved in helping our community to amek them cherished by giving some opal pendants as a lucky charm for them. Usually, we made those at my home every month and we distributed those to our allies on our side including mine. Now that I became a student of the Nijigasaki Academy High School, I’m ready to gleam for more!” said Azusa.
“Well, I’m pretty confident that you’re going to show your pride and compassion for them because you have worked hard to lead your team and I believe that you’re going to have a lot of ways to bless them” said Tomiko.
“Your motivation had been looked good to lead your group, Azusa-chan! You’re more charismatic to make them thrilled!” said Chika Hashiguchi, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Your group will be rising enough to become one of the groups that will be running wild while representing for Shizuku” said Satomi Ōshiro, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Which means that you’re going to show your prestigiousness and admiration to prosper for more” said Erika Fukuhara, a first year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the life design course.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to shine your way just like we did!” said Maiko Takano, a second year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the international exchange.
“So that, you’ll be able to cherish them with your own way to shine!” said Azuki Sugiyama, a second year high school student from the Nijigasaki Academy High School and a friend of Ayumu from the music course.
“Yes, indeed, girls! I’m always going for that if I want to show my prestigiousness and admiration to everyone and I believe that I’ll do it to make sure that they’ll shine with their smiles like all we do, right?” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Ayumu.
“I have a question to ask you, Azusa-chan. What’s your first thrill when you entered Nijigasaki in your first day?” said Yu.
“To be honest, Yu-san, I was fascinated to see the facade of the building when I walked there and it was so magnificent to gleam there. I have seen a lot of people entering the building like they’re all excited to for a new year. For me, it’s a great day that I made some experience to thrill there. That’s the part where I met new students in my new class. Too bad that I didn’t get into Kasumi’s class, who had a lot of students that they have including her close friends. My class is much more focused on the prestigious side, but more on the thrilling side there” said Azusa.
“Ah, that’s more surprising to say ‘I’m thrilled!’, but I’m so surprised that you have your experience to enter Nijigasaki in your first day of high school!” said Yu.
“Yep! You’re right about that, Yu-san! My first day in Nijigasaki was a day that I will remember because not only that I took part of a new class, but I got my friends from the Majestic Aqua Charm were there as well! I’m very blissful that I have seen them in my class because they wanted to be me in the same class all along!” said Azusa.
“Oh, I see! So, who are your friends from the Majestic Aqua Charm have become classmates in your section?” replied Yu.
“They were Shina Imanami, Kazuko Ishioka, Fuyumi Koezuka, Hatsumi Kobori, Mitsuko Yamada and Tsubasa Tokita” said Azusa.
“That’s very nice! I hadn’t seen them before because they’re just first years, but what a great group of friends that you got along with! Maybe, I will be happy to meet them one day!” said Yu.
“Well, yes, I could do that as soon as Natsuko will invite them at some other time” said Azusa.
“Ah, sure, I would be glad to! I’m thrilled, anyway!” said Yu.
“In your group, Azusa-san, how many members were there?” asked Shizuku.
“They were nine members, which includes the seven of us. The other two, composed of Atsuko Mitsuhashi and Tsubomi Muraoka, were in Kasumi’s class” said Yu.
“Hey, I recognized both Atsuko and Tsubomi! They have been friends with Kasumi and used to hang out with her for non-school idol stuff!” said Shizuku.
“Kasumi told me that they’re more compassionated to show their rainbow hearts and they have supported her when she performed the song 「Poppin’ Up!」 last week” said Ayumu. The song 「Poppin’ Up!」 was performed by Kasumi Nakasu, who is voiced by Mayu Sagara.
“Oh, I recognized that song, girls! Kasumi had been very cute to show her smile to everyone on her side and I’m very confident to see her thrilled at all!” said Azusa.
“You’re right about that, Azusa-chan! It’s so nice that Kasumi had been doing a great job to impress everyone as she wants to shine her way while continue to stay cute and compassionated” said Ayumu.
“She had been very confident to show her smile and she’s always gonna motivate for us when she’s getting along with us” said Shizuku.
“Hopefully, she’ll be thrilled enough to give us the smile that we want because she’ll be more determined to prosper us” said Yu.
“Good for her! I hope that she will keep up the good work as she’s ready to surprise us like the way she’s gonna say cute things!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
“In your own way, what are you expecting for our group?” asked Kuniko.
“I will be expecting to contribute for promoting the school idol club by inspiring them because it would be a great way for them to shine through their thrills and smiles and I want everyone on my side to support them when they’re going to perform together. Also, I’ll watch out for Shizuku when she’s going to perform for the drama club because she’s always admiring everyone to make sure that she’ll make them feel comfortable” said Azusa.
“That’s very nice that you had a lot of expectations to shine with, Azusa-san!” said Kuniko.
“I’m very thrilled that you’ll be ready to get along with us because we want to make the difference to follow the examples of Ayumu and Shizuku” said Mieko.
“By showing our rainbow heart to make sure that we’re going to shine together while supporting them” said Akiyo.
“It’ll be fantastic that we’re going to gleam together with our hearts, so that we’ll be able to have more thrills to make us compassionated” said Rumiko.
“You’ll be more confident to be part of us when we’ll supporting both Ayumu and Shizuku and of course, you can count on them for sure!” said Kyōko.
“Yeah, you got it, girls! I’ll never let everyone down because I’ll be here to represent for Shizuku!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said the friends of Shizuku.
“Since you’re a member of the Dream and Smile, Azusa-san, I hope that you’ll be able to create your own thrill to everyone because it will be amazing that you’re going to represent for me and Ayumu as we’ll be ready to shine together when we’re performing for our school idol club” said Shizuku.
“You’re welcome to get thrilled at any time when you’ll be representing for that group, which means that you’ll be ready to shine with us with your smile!” said Ayumu.
“Smile is very important for everyone because it creates endless thrills to make everyone happy and delighted. Hopefully, you’ll be more determined to be with them in no time!” said Yu.
“Yes, I will, girls! I’ll be happy to get along with you through the bottom of my heart!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
After Azusa’s sharing is concluded, the rest of the friends of Shizuku would share their own stories to make everyone feeling thrilled and compassionated, thus, they give them a smile. Once the thrill part is concluded, Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu would finally conclude the general assembly together.
“Anyway, that’s gonna be the end of the general assembly of the Dream and Smile, everyone! I hope that you’re all enjoyed to get along with each other for the first time in this group because right now, you can do anything to make yourself comfortable and bloomed when you’re represent for that group” said Ayumu.
“It’s very important that the heart is the important key to make yourself comfortable and bloomed and you have to be more prospered when you’re supporting us” said Shizuku.
“The Dream and Smile will always be the home of dreams and hearts to make everyone ready to bloom and shine all the way!” said Yu.
“Hopefully, you’ll be able to find your happiness with us if you need anything to thrill. We’ll be cheering for you as always!” said Ayumu.
“That way, you’ll be very confident that you’ll have us on your side and of course, you’ll develop a great friendship with us for sure!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“To conclude this event, I have one more announcement to make because this one is very important” said Ayumu.
“What announcement that you’re going to tell us, Ayumu-chan?” asked Natsuko.
“Yeah, we’re wondering about this” said Kuniko.
“The Dream and Smile will be appointing Yu Takasaki as the consultant while me and Shizuku will be acting as supervisors to help you grow your confidence to make this group more blooming and more gleaming” siad Ayumu.
“WHAT?!” shouted the members of the Dream and Smile.
“You’re gonna be with us at all time?!” shouted Natsuko.
“You got to be kidding me!” exclaimed Mitsuyo.
“I can’t believe that you’ll be with us even you are part of NijiGaku!” reacted Kuniko.
“Don’t tell me that you have a lot of duties to work with since you’re all school idols!” added Mieko.
“Ah, of course not! We’re not gonna stay with you girls in that group, but we’ll be occasionally gotten along with you for activities” said Ayumu.
“That way, we’ll be thrilled to see you shine when you’re going to represent for us” said Shizuku.
“Okay, we understand about that” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“Don’t worry, girls! Even Ayumu and Shizuku are members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, they’ll still be here to comfort you at all through your rainbow heart” said Yu.
“It’s very important you’ll always give us the smile when you’re representing for us because it will you more thrilled to develop your friendship with us” said Ayumu.
“The more that you developed your friendship with us, the better that you’ll be able to get close to us” said Shizuku.

“Yeah!” said the members of the Dream and Smile.
“That’s great! I’m very, very thrilled for you!” said Yu.
“We’ll see you around when we’ll meet with each other again!” said Ayumu.
“Just stay comfortable and thrilled, everyone!” said Shizuku.
“Okay, we will!” said the members of the Dream and Smile as the general assembly had come to a close.
While the members of the Dream and Smile have agreed to stay at the Uehara Residence until 8:00 in the evening, they’ll still have a lot of fun to develop their friendship with Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
Natsuko, Kuniko and Azusa would get along with Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu at the terrace where they’re watching the stars shining bright.
“Oh, look at the stars out there, girls! They’re so beautiful!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah! They’re shining bright just like us!” said Ayumu.
“It feels great that I want to wish upon a star when I had my own dream to gleam with!” said Shizuku.
“It makes me feel comfortable to see those that one day, they’ll continue to glow all night when I’ll see those again” said Yu.
“Yes, indeed! These stars are pretty gleamy out there to show up through the night” said Natsuko.
“It’s a sign that we’re all gonna shine one day when we’ll running together” said Kuniko.
“Hopefully, we’ll make progress for our group to make sure that we’ll have the thrills to enjoy with!” said Azusa.
“Yeah!” said Ayumu, Shizuku and Yu.
“By the way, Azusa-chan, I heard that you’re wishing to join the connection circle of Shizuku. Is that what you’re planning?” said Ayumu.
“Yes, of course, Ayumu-san! I was fascinated to see Shizuku performing in a stage play last year. I became her classmate for three years in middle school before I ended up moving to Nijigasaki for high school. I thought that Shizuku would be enrolling in Seiran for high school, but she ended up moving to the same school as I am” said Azusa.
“Yeah, I agree with that, Azusa-san! I had been an honor student in Seiran for three years as well as my acting skills have been developed, which I supposed to stay there for three more years, but instead I decided to follow Ayumu’s choice of going to Nijigasaki, taking the international exchange course” said Shizuku.
“Whoa! You must be very determined to have your own dream to work on, Shizuku-chan!” said Natsuko.
“Yes, I am! I’m always determined to study in Nijigasaki rather than Seiran because I like the quality of learning in that school as well as they have offered me to join the drama club, which I did!” said Shizuku while giving Natsuko a smile.
“Ah, I’m glad that you made it to make sure that you’re prospering for your future to be brighter, Shizuku-chan!” said Natsuko.
“Yeah!” said Shizuku.
“So, if you’re connected to Shizuku, Azusa-chan, then you’re allowed to take part of her connection circle. Isn’t that right?” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Azusa.
“Well, I’m happy that you had recognized me for a long time since you’re very determined to thrill with me and I’m very delighted that you’re a good classmate too in Seiran! Of course, Ayumu and I were very close with each other, even we’re differently apart from our schools” said Shizuku.
“That’s right, Shizuku-chan! Shizuku and I were used to be living in the same hometown in Toyosu, but we studied in separate schools with me entering Yumezawa while Shizuku in Mizukumo. However, we became close with each other through our own ideas to create with, especially with our relatives because we’re more compassionated to make dreams come true” said Ayumu.
“Hey, I also joined your circle too, Ayumu, which is why we’re all running together after all!” said Yu.
“Yeah, Yu-chan! We’re all close friends with each other since childhood friends and now, we’re in the same school!” said Ayumu.
“Hopefully, you’ll always come out to shine together with us because we’re going to start our dreams together!” said Shizuku.
“Yep!” said Yu.
“I see what the connection is going, girls” said Kuniko.
“What do you mean ‘connection’, Kuniko-san?” asked Shizuku.
“It looks like Azusa had been a friend of yours, thus she would be allowed to join your connection circle just like how you did it to me last month” said Kuniko.
“Ah, yes, I know about that, Kuniko-san! That’s why anyone is welcome to join my connection whether you’re a classmate or ally” said Shizuku.
“Anyone can make thrills with us, so that they’ll be able to bloom and gleam with us for sure!” said Ayumu.
“Of course, since you lead your own group, that would be fantastic that you’re going to groom Shizuku, Azusa-chan!” said Yu.
“Yes, that’s true, Yu-san! I’m very confident that I’ll be getting along with Shizuku at any time that I want and I’m hoping that I’ll be seeing her beauty when she’s performing one day” said Azusa.
“You’re very compassionated to me when you said that you want to admire me, Azusa-san, and I’m cherished to see you smiling on me. As a result, I’ll be inviting you to join my connection circle since you’re my schoolmate, of course!” said Shizuku.
“Really, Shizuku-san? For real?!” surprisingly replied Azusa.
“Yeah, Azusa-san!” said Shizuku.
“Then, I’m in!” declared Azusa as she’s officially joining the connection circle of Shizuku. “I’m happy to be part of your connection circle, Shizuku-san! I’m ready to gleam whatever you’re ready to shine!”
“That’s the spirit, Azusa-san! Welcome to my connection circle!” said Shizuku.
“Thank you very much, Shizuku-san!” said Azusa while giving Shizuku a smile.
“You’re welcome!” said Shizuku while giving Azusa a smile in return.
“Now that’s what I want to see your smile, Azusa-san! Shizuku had been an admired actress and school idol and she’ll do anything to cheer for you!” said Kuniko.
“You’ll be ready to represent for her when you’re going to see her performing through her heart” said Natsuko.
“Yeah, I will!” said Azusa.
“Congratulations, Azusa-chan! I’m so happy that you’re finally getting thrilled that you are part of the connection circle of Shizuku! I have welcomed a lot of my friends to be part of my connection circle and they have been delighted to be with me after all!” said Ayumu.
“You’ll get used to it when you’re representing for your close friend when NijiGaku will be performing together in the future” said Yu.
“Sure, I would be glad to! Thank you very much, Ayumu-san and Yu-san!” said Azusa.
“You’re welcome!” said Ayumu and Yu.
“So, Azusa-san, how do you feel that you’re now part of my connection circle?” asked Shizuku.
“I’m feeling thrilled, Shizuku-san! I mean, I had joined the Dream and Smile because I want to support you on your school idol career and I’m always motivated to see you shine just like the star that shines bright” said Azusa.
“Ah, that makes me feel admired that you’re here to shine with me! Well, I’m happy with that, thanks to your smile that you made me cherished!” said Shizuku.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Azusa. “You’re a good friend with a true heart!”
“Wow! That’s so sweet! I like the way you expressed to me, Azusa-san! You’re always coming out like you’re shouting my name!” said Shizuku.
“Yes, of course! Hopefully, we’ll gonna get along with each other any time when your friends on your side will be there for a gathering very soon!” said Azusa.
“Yeah, we will do that together, so that we’ll be able to gleam together through our smiles!” said Shizuku.
“We can allow anything to make yourself thrilled, Azusa-chan! We’ll have to organize those in the future if we’re not busy on our school idol stuff” said Ayumu.
“You’ll be our guests to bloom and gleam with us because we’ll start our dreams right here!” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Azusa while Natsuko and Kuniko are smiling on their faces without saying a word.
“For now, let’s shine together while we’ll see the stars in the sky!” said Shizuku.
“That will make us all gleamed and prestigious to admire them!” said Ayumu.
“Hopefully, you’ll be thrilled to make this night blooming and harmonious!” said Yu.
“Yeah!” said Natsuko, Kuniko and Azusa. Azusa had been thrilled for the entire day when she attended the general assembly of the Dream and Smile as she had been able to fascinate everyone through her smiles to make them feel comfortable, especially that she had been a friend of Shizuku. She had been very determined to make herself compassionated to be part of that group and of course, she would also confirm to join the connection circle of Shizuku as well due to her connection with her as a classmate. Hopefully, Azusa will be ready to bloom and gleam to show her compassion to Shizuku, so that she’ll be more comfortable to give her a smile.
