Tomorrow, on that day (June 30), it is the formation of µ’s (2010, 12 years ago) from Love Live! and Aqours (2015, 7 years ago) from Love Live! Sunshine!! Both school idol groups have been very popular by Love Live! fans, which leads to the development of their franchise into a multimedia project series until its present year with the formation of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club (led by Ayumu Uehara (CV: Aguri Ōnishi)) from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Liella! (led by Kanon Shibuya (CV: Sayuri Date)) from Love Live! Superstar!! The second season of the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club had been recently concluded when its series finale had been aired four days ago (June 25) while the anime adaption of Love Live! Superstar!! will expect to return for its second season in a few weeks with the introduction of the four new members of Liella!, who are all second year high schoolers, to join with Kanon Shibuya, Keke Tang (CV: Liyuu), Chisato Arashi (CV: Nako Misaki), Sumire Heanna (CV: Naomi Payton) and Ren Hazuki (CV: Nagisa Aoyama). The project had also introduced their games known as Love Live! School Idol Festival and Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS. Currently, µ’s will continue to appear in both Love Live! School Idol Festival and Love Live! School Idol Festival All Stars while Aqours will continue to release new albums this year including the upcoming release of the second solo album of Yoshiko Tsushima (CV: Aika Kobayashi) on July 13. The leader of µ’s is Honoka Kōsaka (CV: Emi Nitta) while the leader of Aqours is Chika Takami (CV: Anju Inami). Hopefully, they will continue working together to make their loyal fans impressing them as they have been successful in different activities including concerts and album sales as they will continue to shine their way to make themselves thrilled!;) Happy 12th and 7th Founding Anniversary, µ’s and Aqours!:)
Today (June 29) are the double birthdays of Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Momo Minamoto from RELEASE THE SPYCE. And because Karin will be appearing in today’s update, I’ll save it for later, but for right now, I’ll focus first on Momo is a cute and intelligent girl who had been working for Tsukikage to protect her hometown, Sorasaki, from enemies like Moryo. She is also the main protagonist of RELEASE THE SPYCE and is voiced by Yukari Anzai, who is part of AiRBLUE and AiRBLUE Wind as the voice actress of Miharu Yomine from CUE!, who had recently concluded their anime adaption last June 25 (Saturday). Happy birthday, Momo!:) And before you’ll read this update, this one will be dedicated to Konomi Kohara, Suzuko Mimori and Yuka Amemiya. Konomi and Suzuko have celebrated their birthdays yesterday (June 28) while Yuka will celebrate her birthday tomorrow (June 30). Born in Chiba, Konomi is the voice actress of Yūko Yoshida/Shamiko (The Demon Girl Next Door), Chika Fujiwara (Kaguya-sama: Love is War), Kai Yawara (Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu), Hanako Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba), Erena Fujisawa (Hanebado!) and Luna ‘Tsukimi’ Kusami (Oresuki). And last but not the least, coming out from Tokyo, Suzuko is a member of both µ’s and Starlight Kukugumi because she is the voice actress of Umi Sonoda (Love Live!), Hikari Kagura (Shoujo☆Kageki Revue Starlight) and Rui Nikaidō (ODD TAXI, representing Mystery Kiss). Don’t forget that Suzuko is also a member of lily while alongside Aina Kusuda (the seiyu of Nozomi Tōjō) and Riho Iida (the seiyu of Rin Hoshizora) and not only she is a voice actress, but Suzuko is also a singer as well! And last but not the least, hailing from Osaka, Yuka is the voice actress of Angelica (representing Sadistic Candy) and Angers (representing Ray) from Lapis Re:Lights and Sheria Nigem from The Misfit of Demon King Academy, which will expect to return for its second season this year. I hope that those three will continue making progress of their voice acting careers, especially to Suzuko, who had been a great job in being a singer!;) Belated happy birthday, Momo, Riki and Natsuki, and advanced happy birthday, Konomi, Suzuko and Yuka!:) And of course, it’s time to show some generosity and kindness with Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, who is celebrating her birthday today (June 29) as here comes today’s update!:)
It's
time to
cap off the
month of June as I’ll be
posting the second update of the
NijiGaku Series Finale Week as
this one is
very special as it will be
focused on
Karin Asaka of the
Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as
she will be
joined by
Kanata Konoe,
Emma Verde,
Kanata’s sister Haruka Konoe and
a special friend of Karin in
Himeno Ayanokōji from the
Tooh Academy High School to
meet with
Emiko Kishida and
her friends from the
Bravehearts of Kōtō, which is
known as the
Blue Starlight Squad in the
Kishida Residence. This is
the part where they’re
going to
have a dazzling activity where they're
about to
show the secrets that
they have
showed and so, you’ll be
thrilled to
see what they’re sharing through
different topics that
they have
come up with. Hopefully, it will be
gleaming enough to
show some pride and
compassion because you will be
ready to
gleam and
shine through
your smiles and
thrills to
make Karin,
Kanata,
Emma,
Haruka and
Himeno proud!;) Of course,
the reason why
I made this update so special to
me is because
today (June 29) is
the birthday of
Karin Asaka.
Karin is
a third year high school student from the
Nijigasaki Academy High School where
she had
joined the
Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and
formed a sub-group known as
DiverDiva with
Ai Miyashita (CV:
Natsumi Murakami).
Karin had
aimed to
be a model and
her personality is to
be passionate and
mature, which
she was
able to
have confidence with
her body.
She is
in charge of
coordinating clothes and
sometimes helping other members to
design costumes. In
the anime,
she is
a close friend of
Emma Verde (CV:
Maria Sashide) as
they have
helped together alongside
the other members to
revive their school idol club.
Karin had
initially been
interested in
school idols, but
didn’t join the school idol club until in
the fifth episode of
the first season when
she was
invited by
Emma, who
inspired her by
performing her song, “
La Bella Patria”, so that
Karin will
join the
Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. In
the ninth episode of
the first season,
she had
represented for
NijiGaku in
Diver Fes,
an annual music festival held in
Diver City in
Odaiba, as
she had
performed her song “
VIVID WORLD”.
Karin is
voiced by
Miyu Kubota, who is
also a singer,
a member of
i☆Ris and
the voice actress of
Emo Moegi from
Kiratto Pri☆Chan and
Medusa from
Dropkick on My Devil! Believe it or not,
Miyu is
the second oldest member of
NijiGaku behind
Akari Kitō,
the seiyu of
Kanata Konoe. I’m
thrilled that
Karin had
showed her compassion and
thrill to
make sure that
she will
always count on
her fellow club members through
her gratitude and
kindness that
she had from
her rainbow heart. Hopefully,
she will be
comforted to
believe in
her dreams for
her friends and
rivals, so that
she will be
cherished to
cheer for
you as
she had
stayed compassionated and
admired to
everyone on
her side!;) Happy birthday,
Karin!:) Now,
get ready to
show some generosity and
kindness with
Karin,
Kanata,
Emma,
Haruka and
Himeno because here comes the
152nd side chapter of the
Red Section Series with
the title, “
The Divas are Shining their Way with Compassion and Charisma!”! Enjoy reading the
152nd side chapter of the
Red Section Series!:)
SIDE STORY: “RED SECTION STORIES”
CHAPTER 152: “THE DIVAS ARE SHINING THEIR WAY WITH COMPASSION AND CHARISMA!”
Date: May 4, 2010 (Tuesday)
This side chapter is focused on Karin Asaka, Emma Verde and Kanata Konoe as they’re paying a visit to the home of Emiko Kishida as they’re going to hang out with her and her friends for a day.
Karin, Kanata and Emma are walking on their way to the Kishida Residence as they’re excited to meet with Emiko Kishida and her friends from the Bravehearts of Kōtō. They would be joined by Haruka Konoe, the younger sister of Kanata, and Himeno Ayanokōji, a third year high school student from the Tooh Academy and a friend of Karin.
“You must be very excited about your meeting with Emiko-chan, Karin-chan! That girl must be very determined through her eyes like the way she shined” said Kanata.
“It’ll be amazing that she’s going to welcome us in her home because she had been admired by her friends on side, especially that she had recognized us as members of NijiGaku” said Emma.
“Yeah, I agree, Kanata and Emma! Emiko had been more determined to recognize everyone on her side whether she had been closed to or acquaintance with as she had a rainbow heart to show up with” said Karin.
“Your friend is a brave girl that showed her pride and willpower to represent her hometown. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her!” said Himeno Ayanokōji.
“Yep! She’s not always coming out strong like a beautiful girl, but she had been very confident to show that she’s ready to prosper everyone. I had been a friend of her since last year when I had impressed her performance in the district tournament. Did you remember that, Himeno?” said Karin.
“Oh, yeah! I watched that game! That girl must be a solid player who can show her defense and hustle to come out strong! I’m sure that she’s always coming out to deliver defensive stops against her opponents in her game” said Himeno.
“Yep! Emiko had not only been a basketball player, but she’s a singer as well when she created her group E・MA・RI alongside Marika Fujimi and Eriko Haruno” said Karin.
“They have worked together in composing their own songs as well as making covers from different idols” said Emma.
“She had a brighter future that she came up, which means that she can do whatever she wants for as long as she’s going to step up and shine with her smile. This makes Kanata-chan feel happy to see her having her own dream to make with” said Kanata.
“Ah, yes, she was! I’m going to say that she’s a great girl who had a lot of ambitions to believe and it’ll be fantastic that we’re going to meet up with her to make a great synchronization between the four of us and that girl” said Himeno.
“That’s right, Himeno! The three of us have been friends with some of the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō where I had befriended Emiko” said Karin.
“Kanata-chan had ended up befriending Kotoko Hachiuma” said Kanata.
“And I, on the other hand, became friends with Minami Ishijima” said Emma.
“Everyone had its own set of friends that have been allied to any braveheart group that we recognized and of course, you can always count on them through their auras because they always work together to make their community being filled with better hopes and blissful dreams” said Karin.
“It’s very nice that everyone can be friends with school idols, especially that they have their own desire to thrill with” said Kanata.
“They’ll be more generous to come out to support us, so that they’ll be delighted to come along with us at any time that we want” said Emma.
“Ah, I’m very happy for the three of you making friends with those bravehearts as they wanted to prosper everyone through their own representation of being compassionated” said Himeno.
“They’ll be ready to run their place through their own ideas to bloom and gleam with, so that they’ll be able to shine everyone like the way they used to be” said Haruka Konoe.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata and Emma.
“Since this day is very special for us, we should be ready to have a fun day that we’ll never gonna miss!” said Karin.
“It’s going to be a fantastic day that we’re going to bloom and shine and make Emiko and her friends being filled with thrills. This also makes Kanata-chan feel excited to make them comfortable through my rainbow heart” said Kanata.
“Hopefully, this will be successful as long as we’re sticking together as school idols. Right, girls?” said Emma.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Haruka and Himeno.
“That’s more I like it! I’m so generous that we’re coming out in the same page and I’m sure that you’re all excited with this!” said Emma.
“Yeah, Emma-chan! There are a lot of fun things to enjoy for a day to meet with the bravehearts, but let’s hope that we’re going to give them some thrills that they’ll need to bloom and shine” said Kanata.
“You got that right, Kanata!” said Karin before speaking to both Haruka and Himeno. “You’ll be more generous to treat them nicely because they’re compassionated and charismatic through their smiles and I hope that you’ll become friends with them for sure!”
“Yeah, we will, Karin-san!” said Haruka and Himeno.
A few minutes later, Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno would reach the street that was mentioned in the address of the Kishida Residence. Then, they finally reach the Kishida Residence through the entrance before waiting for Emiko to welcome them.
Karin would press the doorbell before a female voice comes out through the speaker. “Who is it?”
Karin answers through the speaker by saying her name and friends. “This is Karin Asaka, a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, and I’m with my fellow members Kanata Konoe and Emma Verde plus two of our friends Haruka Konoe, the younger sister of Kanata, and Himeno Ayanokōji, a friend of mine and a school idol from the Tooh Academy.”
The female voice would respond to Karin sweetly. “Okay, I’ll be right there!” Then, the voice in the speaker would fade to silent before the door would be opened quickly.
When the entrance was opened, it was revealed to be Emiko Kishida, a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She would be joined by Marika Fujimi, Eriko Haruno, Shuko Matsunami, Hideko Suehiro, Wakana Yamamoto, Mayuko Hayakawa, Yuko Kusanagi and Nanako Tajima.
“Well, if it isn’t Karin-san, Kanata-san and Emma-san. I’m so happy that you came here to see me!” said Emiko Kishida, a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata and Emma.
“Is this your first time to visit her home?” asked Marika Fujimi, a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.
“Yep! I haven’t done that before because I wanted to take an opportunity to visit your home, so that I’ll be able to make myself comfortable to stay there if I want to pay a visit to your home again” said Karin.
“And because we’re school idols, we can do whatever we want for as long as you’re ready to shine with us!” said Kanata.
“It will be very nice that you’ll have some time getting along with us for a while we’re taking a little break from our school idol stuff” said Emma.
“Ah, I see! I’m very intrigued that you’re all here because we want to hang out with school idols that we admired” said Marika.
Emiko nods her head to agree with Marika before replying to her and the guests. “That’s right, Marika-san! Before I had joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō, I started to get interested on idols, even school idols because I want to see them gleaming and shining through their voices, so that they’ll be able to rise themselves to prove that they’re here to make themselves famous. Although that I adored idols, I had been more focused on playing basketball because I want to perform well by making some tough moves like the way big girls did. I heard that you had a friend named Ai Miyashita getting into the basketball team for your school, right?”
“Oh, yes! Ai had been energetic and uplifted when it comes to playing basketball and yet, she had been friends with her teammates from the basketball team. Although that she had been focused on being a school idol, she had to take a break from her basketball career to focus on working with me and my fellow club members in NijiGaku” said Karin.
“Well, I hope that I’m going to see her playing in the court because it will be amazing for her to groom like how the other girls like Ruka Nagamine, Kira Fukuhara and Satomi Kikumoto have used to when they’re stepping up through their auras to shine” said Emiko.
“Our girls have been hustling when they’re entering to the court and so, they have to be more confident in trying to make a perfect game that they need to prove it” said Marika.
“Hopefully, when Ai will be there, I’m hyped for Ai vs. Ruka in the court!” said Eriko Haruno, a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō.
“That one would be something that we’re awaiting this for a long time!” said Shuko Matsunami, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a friend of Emiko Kishida.
“Ah! I’m sure that you want to see Ai to play with your allies. Aren’t you, girls?” said Karin.
“Yeah!” said Emiko, Marika, Eriko and their friends.
“Okay, then, I’ll be proposing this to Ai, but she said that she’s very busy with her school idol stuff” said Karin.
“So, you’ll have to wait for the approval from Ai-chan if you want to make this dream come true” said Kanata.
“That way, you’ll be happy to see this dream match going to happen for sure!” said Emma.
“Yeah!” said Emiko, Marika, Eriko and their friends.
“Speaking of which, I’m so surprised that you brought those two to be with you, Karin-san!” said Emiko.
“I’m so glad that they’re going to be with us as well!” said Marika.
“It will be marvelous to have them for a fun day that you’ll never forget!” said Eriko.
“Yep! Those two have used to get along with us ever since when we took part of NijiGaku where Haruka is the older sister of Kanata while Himeno is used to be my rival in my modelling and school idol career” said Karin.
“Haruka-chan had been compassionated to be with me every time we walked out for a sister-to-sister bonding after school back in Shinonome and even I transferred to Nijigasaki this year, I’m still doing it after all” Kanata.
“On the other hand, I was surprised about the fact that Himeno had been a rival to Karin ever since they lived together in Ariake, but I’m more confident that she had been with us occasionally when we go out dinner. It’s so nice that we have both Haruka and Himeno being associated to us, which means that we’re going to give them some thrills as always!” said Emma.
“That’s right, girls!” said Haruka and Himeno.
“We have the same paths as school idols like them and we have to be more confident in making progress of our careers, so that we’ll shine our way with our smiles” said Haruka.
“Whether everyone is a friend or rival, school idols must stand together to work hard to make success in our careers for sure” said Himeno.
“Well, I’m glad that you two have been determined to stay positive as school idols” said Emiko.
“That means, that we’re happy to support you as well!” said Marika.
“Like Karin, Kanata and Emma, you’ll be able to have a lot of progress to shine with as you’ll be ready to work hard until you’ll reach it to the top” said Eriko.
“Yeah, we will!” said Haruka and Himeno.
“Now, since the five of you, shall I let you come to my home?” asked Emiko.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“That’s more I like it! Come with us!” said Emiko.
“Okay!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno as they enter the Kishida Residence where they have been surprised to see the living room being dazzled by light and dark shades of blue everywhere.
“Wow!” shouted Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“Amazing!” exclaimed Karin.
“It’s so beautiful!” reacted Kanata.
“This is magnificent!” added Emma.
“I can’t believe that your house is more comfortable that I have expected!” said Haruka.
“It’s so nice that you have a great and beautiful house of yours that is more stylish, I tell you!” said Himeno.
“Yep! My home is very cool and amazing where my family used to stay here most of the time. I had sometimes stayed this place a few times when the Bravehearts of Kōtō aren’t very busy as they have focused on other school stuff. Of course, I sometimes invited my friends from my special circle group for something cooler to gleam with” said Emiko.
“Yep! We formed the group known as the Blue Starlight Squad where we used to get along with each other during the weekend for group activities and hobbies” said Marika.
“Our goal is to bring this group through better friendship between each of us while representing for not only the Bravehearts of Kōtō, but for those who wanted to gleam and shine through compassion” said Haruko.
“Well, I’m surprised that you girls have formed that group as a purpose to prosper your community. It made me feel good that you have done that ever since we met each other the first time” said Karin.
“Your group will be more shining enough like a rainbow to rise because you’ll be able to make them thrilled with your own smiles” said Kanata.
“You girls will always show some generosity and compassion to work hard and have the blessings that you’ll have for sure!” said Emma.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Emiko, Marika, Eriko and their friends.
“And since this is our first activity that we’re planning, which will be a meet-and-greet with you girls, let’s hope that this one will be a success” said Emiko.
“Our braveheart-school idol partnership with you will be the first step for us in getting closer to you” said Marika.
“That way, we’ll have our own thrills to create with!” said Eriko.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“So, to start things off, I had a quick icebreaker, so that you’ll know what kind of activity that we’ll be going with” said Emiko.
“Well, I like icebreakers, Emiko-san. That’s where me and Himeno have used to pick up some activities to go up with” said Karin.
“We have done that in a Christmas party for our agency last year and it was so good!” said Himeno.
“Ah, now, I have seen some girls getting interested into this! That’s very nice!” said Emiko while giving Karin and Himeno a smile and then, speaking to Kanata, Emma and Haruka. “You girls should like this too because it will be fun!”
“Yeah!” said Kanata, Emma and Haruka.
“Since you got interested into this, Karin, pick one activity that you’re going to choose that is more entertaining and more interesting” said Marika.
“Sure, I would be glad to!” said Karin as she would decide on one of the activities for the braveheart-school idol activity. “Let’s go with the ‘Around the Colors of the Rainbow’ sharing!”
Marika was surprised about Karin picking the ‘Around the Colors of the Rainbow’ sharing, thus, she replies to her. “Oh, I see! I knew that you want to go with that activity because you are part of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, right?”
“Absolutely!” said Karin.
“Then, we’ll go for that one!” said Mariko.
“Oh, this one is going to be good!” said Eriko.
“I hope that this one will work because we should go something shiny” said Emiko.
“Yeah, you got it, girls!” said Karin.
“So, what’s the mechanics of that activity?” asked Haruka.
“The ‘Around the Colors of the Rainbow’ sharing is a sharing activity where everyone will share any topic, but with a twist that it will be through the order of the rainbow, which will start by the color of the main host, followed by the other colors whether through the darkest or the lightest” said Emiko.
“And because Karin will be the first one to share, the color blue will start before it will be move to either green or indigo, depends on which side will be going with” said Marika.
“In addition to that, we’re going to reveal the other colors of our friends right now. Shuko will be violet, Hideko will be pale lavender, Wakana will be light orange, Mayuko will be pastel pink, Yuko will be tourmaline and Nanako will be yellow” said Eriko.
“What about you, girls? What are your colors?” asked Emiko.
“Mine is lavender” said Kanata.
“My image color is light green” said Emma.
“Light blue is my color” said Haruka.
“And as for me, I’m going with grayish blue because I used that color for my casual attire or school idol attire that I used everyday” said Himeno.
“Well, those colors are going to be included as well” said Emiko.
“Yep! It will be randomly selected whether it’s going through the left or through the right” said Marika as she referred to how the turn of sharing goes with ‘through the left’ means going to the lighter shade while ‘through the right’ means going to the darker shade.
“Hopefully, this is going to be fun to do this and so, let’s get this started!” said Eriko.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Emma, Kanata, Haruka and Himeno.
The ‘Around the Colors of Rainbow’ activity starts with Karin going first to share. “I’ll be sharing about my favorite type of clothing when I was a working model. My favorite type of clothing is going to be the clothes that are cooler and sexier because it fits my personality of being determined and passionate, especially that I had been very kind to the way I worn those to make myself more beautiful and more gorgeous. Then, when I joined NijiGaku, I started to coordinate on clothes that are used for our performance, especially that I found them fascinating. In our first live performance, we did a great job in showing the other schoolmates from our school some thrills that they cherished, thus, we became more confident that we’ll have high hopes in making our school idol club starting to get harmonious for sure!”
“Wow! Your sharing is so nice! I’m so surprised that you have been more into some sexier clothes that made yourself passionate when you’re shining your way, Karin-san!” said Emiko.
“I have seen you when you’re wearing those clothes because you have been more determined stay passionate at all” said Marika.
“You’re looked confident to show some admiration out there, which is very nice for us to see it!” said Eriko.
“You’ll be more confident to show your determination out there to impress the audience when you’re coming out shining” said Shuko.
“Hopefully, you’ll be keeping up to make sure that you’ll become more passionate to give some thrills to everyone” said Hideko Suehiro, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a friend of Emiko Kishida.
Karin gives Emiko, Marika, Eriko, Shuko and Hideko a smile before replying to them. “Yeah, I agree with your words, girls! I started to pick on cooler and sexier clothes when I was first time taking my photoshoot. This is the part where I began to get interested into this because this made me feel confident to my body when I’m wearing this, thus, I became more determined to wear those whenever the agents needed me to increase my reputation on my modeling career. When I became a school idol, I continued to do those, so that I want to come out shining through my compassion. This is something that I had become more determined to pick any clothes that fit to my personality of being determined and passionate, thus, I’m satisfied with it.”
“Of course, you’re an aspiring school idol who aimed to become a model, Karin-san! I always cherished your clothes because it’s so beautiful!” said Emiko.
“It will be amazing that you’ll be able to show up shining to stay beautiful because that’s what young models do to have their pride being paid off at all” said Marika.
“I’ll be more delighted to show your clothes that you have in the future because it will be fantastic to wear one of those one day” said Eriko.
“Yes, I would! I have kept those in the closer in my dormitory to make sure that they’re safe. Maybe, I can give those if you want” said Karin.
“Sure, we would be glad to!” said Emiko, Marika and Eriko.
“By the way, Karin, what is your best cooler clothes that you wore as an aspiring model and school idol? asked Wakana Yamamoto, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a friend of Marika Fujimi.
“I say that the blue-colored costume from my first performance when I performed the song 「Starlight」” said Karin. The song 「Starlight」 was performed by Karin Asaka, who is voiced by Miyu Kubota.
“Oh, that’s cool! I like that attire because I found it more beautiful and sexier!” said Wakana.
“Ah, that’s very sweet, my friend! I like your words that made feel comfortable!” said Karin.
“You must be gorgeous when you’re wearing that one!” said Mayuko Hayakawa, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a friend of Marika Fujimi.
“Why, thank you, Mayuko-chan! I’m always passionate to show that I can do it through my rainbow heart and I believe that I’ll have to keep it up, so that I’ll be able to shine my way to stay compassionated and keep believing” said Karin.
“Yeah, I’ll be cherished when you heart those words” said Wakana.
“That made me feel confident that you’re a starry school idol” said Mayuko.
“Of course, it’s true, girls!” said Karin.
“One more question, Karin-san, before moving on to the next storyteller, what are your ambitions when it comes to modeling?” asked Emiko.
Karin would answer Emiko’s question as she shows her compassion to Emiko. “Being an aspiring model is my dream to make myself determined and passionate, but also, to shine through my smile. I like the way I modelled for different products to increase my reputation in my modeling career, but of course, I’m feeling about doing a double work as a model and school idol because ever since I just recently joined the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and working with my fellow club members is good enough for me to dazzle through thrills I have. It’s so nice that I had been a young model ever since entering middle school, but when I became a school idol, I started to feel compassionated that I can do whatever I want. My advice to everyone is ‘to keep shining your way without letting yourself down to believe’. This is what I always do, not only that I’m a young model, but a school idol as a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.”
“That’s more inspirable to me, Karin-san! I’m very happy with that! I used to follow my advice from Kotoko Hachiuma, which she said ‘The best thing to bless and inspire everyone is through your heart and soul. You should never let yourself down to make it on the move.’ I became motivated with this, thus, I started to stay compassionated until I joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō last month. That made me feel comfortable too!” said Emiko.
“Of course, we’re all comfortable to stay passionate, Emiko-san! We cherished together!” said Karin.
“Yep!” said Emiko.
“You know, I also made a promise that I should never let myself down and keep showing some pride for everyone. That’s what I reminded myself when I started my basketball career” said Marika.
“This would do the same thing as mine when I started to get active in the community by showing some pride with my smile” said Eriko.
“Hey, not bad that we have the same goals for our community to shine, girls!” said Emiko.
“Yeah, of course!” said Marika.
“You’re right about that!” said Eriko.
“I’m sure that you’ll have high hopes to follow through my advice and I hope that things are getting better once you’re all prepared to step up and shine like how me and my fellow club members of NijiGaku have used to. You’ll be more cherished by the end of the day. I promise!” said Karin.
“Yeah, we will, Karin-san!” said Emiko, Marika and Eriko.
“Now that your sharing is done, Karin-san, which way are going to choose? Left or right?” asked Emiko.
“Well, I’ll go with through the left I’m very confident that Haruka would be next to share before Emma” said Karin.
“Oh, that’s good! Then, I’ll be the last storyteller to share!” said Emiko.
“What about the two of us, Emiko-san?” asked Marika.
“How long will it last?” added Eriko.
“The two of you will be right before Haruka, Yuko, Shuko, Kanata, Hideko, Himeno and yours truly” said Emiko.
“There are a lot of storytellers going to share as this one will take an hour to finish” said Karin.
“So, you better wait for your turn to take the center stage to tell us later” said Emma.
“Okay!” said Marika and Eriko.
“Now that Karin had done sharing about her own topic, it’s your turn to share, Haruka!” said Eriko.
“Since you’re the younger sister of Kanata, you must be very special to her” said Emiko.
“Which means that you’ll be sharing about her, I believe” said Marika.
“Well, of course, I have!” said Haruka while giving Emiko, Marika and Eriko a smile. “Kanata-san and I have been together ever since we were little. I have been very close to her because we have worked together to make sweets and pastries to everyone, especially for our family. We have also become connected with our allies such as Kotoko Hachiuma and Runa Takakura. When we go out together, we have shared our laughter and joy to make sure that we’re having a good day at all. We always shared together in the bed where we talked about some bedtime stories as well listening to the music. Of course, one of my favorite moments is when we performed together as a duo for Kanata’s sendoff party when she had announced her transfer to Nijigasaki. I know that this one had been bittersweet for me when she announced that she’ll be joining the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but I’m still uplifted to make her proud because she did her best to prove that she’s going to shine in her way with her smile. This makes Haruka-san feeling thrilled to see Kanata-san getting prepared to get along with her fellow club members at all!”
“Oh, wow! I didn’t know that you and Kanata-san are sisters!” said Emiko.
“And you have worked hard as school idols at the same time!” said Marika.
“That means, you must be more determined in getting high hopes just like her!” said Eriko.
Haruka gives Emiko, Marika and Eriko a smile before she would explain about her state of relationship with her sister Kanata. “Yep! You’re right about that, girls! Kanata-san and I have been school idols back when we were in Shinonome. Kanata did first before she’s my eldest sister and then, when I was surprised that she had made it to the Shinonome Institute School Idol Club two years ago, I finally decided to follow her footsteps to become a school idol as well. This is the part where our bond between me and Kanata-san had been developed where we did some performance in front of the students from Shinonome before. I’m very satisfied with the way we performed because they have impressed us, believing that we have high hopes to create with. It’s so nice that my bonding with Kanata-san had looked good since we made successful performances from the beginning until the time when Kanata had decided to transfer to Nijigasaki earlier this year. I know that Kanata had been a school idol, despite she had some problems on her studies, which it didn’t matter at all when she survived the last term. Hopefully, we’ll be planning to perform together very soon if we want to keep this up, even we’re no longer in the same school.”
“Ah, that’s very promising, Haruka-san! I like the fact that you have been able to shine with your older sister Kanata to make sure that you’ll be able to gleam and prosper together to admire the crowd” said Emiko.
“My friends told you that you have a beautiful voice that you have just like Kanata’s, which means that you must be very confident to be like her” said Marika.
“I’m sure that Kanata will be happy to get along with you when you two have performed together, thus, you must be more admired to her after all” said Eriko.
“That’s right, girls! Haruka-chan and I have been very close with each other when we have great time to go out and explore a lot of things. We also worked together in making sweets and desserts while cooking some delicious dishes at the same time. I’m so happy that Haruka-can had been taking care of me to make myself comfortable because she knew that I had been admired by her, thus, I had helped her to motivate in pursuing a new dream. Since then, we have been very confident to make our school idol careers blooming like the way we should be” said Kanata.
“I have to say that you two are very determined that you have worked together to make sure that you two will shine through your auras” said Emiko.
“It will be amazing for the two of you to show that you’re here to bloom and prosper for us” said Marika.
“Especially that you two have performed for us before!” said Eriko.
“WHAT?!” shouted Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“No way!” exclaimed Shuko.
“You two have performed?!” reacted Hideko.
“I can’t believe it!” added Wakana.
“We never heard about that before!” shouted Mayuko.
“Yep!” said Kanata and Haruka while giving Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako a smile.
“The two of us have performed together when Shunichi had invited us in the formation of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Kanata.
“Of course, Kotoko made that idea because she used to live in the same hometown as us, thus, she had admired us to make sure that she’ll support us on our future” said Haruka.
“Ah, I see! I guess that the two of you have been connected to a braveheart” said Shuko.
“It seems that you have a great friendship with Kotoko because not only that she had been more determined to show her pride for everyone…” said Hideko.
“…but she’s very expressive to make friends with anyone on her side” said Wakana.
“She had been the leading girl of the Bravehearts of Kōtō because she had been able to lead her way to make her friends feel comfortable” said Mayuko.
“The way that she had led, she became more motivated to bless everyone in her community” said Yuko.
“That’s why she became very confident to admire you when she saw you the first time you performed as a duo group” said Nanako.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Kanata and Haruka.
“Kotoko-chan had been a very close friend of mine, who had wished to be a wise braveheart to gleam her community through her ideas. She became expressive when it comes to creating her own dreams, thus, she had empowered everyone to step up and shine like her” said Kanata.
“It’s so nice that she had invited us to the welcome party as guests and of course, that’s what the school idols do to give everyone some thrills to bloom” said Haruka.
“Of course, you’ll be surprised that I made an agreement with her, regarding the connection circle of hers, which I’ll be sharing about this later on” said Kanata.
“Hopefully, you’ll be surprised to see what we have worked with her after we performed together in the formation party of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Haruka.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“By the way, in case you didn’t know, the three of us have also agreed to collaborate with a few friends of Karin where we’ll be planning to welcome some of our allies that admired Karin on her modelling and school idol career” said Emiko.
“That’s right, Emiko-chan! The members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club have started to make propositions in collaborating with the three braveheart groups in Tokyo Bay” said Karin.
“They were the Bravehearts of Minato through Ayumu, Kasumi, Shizuku, Setsuna, Rina and Yu…” said Kanata.
“…the Bravehearts of Takanawa through Ai, Emma and Shioriko…” said Emma. Even Shioriko didn’t appear in the first season of
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, she had somehow got connected to three members of the Bravehearts of Takanawa in Aoi Ikemoto, Shizuka Azuma and Asumi Hosaka.
“…and the Bravehearts of Kōtō through me, Kanata, Mia and Lanzhu” said Karin. Just like Shioriko, Mia and Lanzhu didn’t appear in the first season of
Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but they have been friends with Fūko Nishitani, Rika Okumoto and Maiko Senda, who are all members from the Bravehearts of Kōtō.
“We have been very motivated to make new connections with them, so that we’ll be able to give them the thrills that they want to see” said Kanata.
“Which means that we finally have opportunities to welcome new members through their pride and willpower, so that they’ll be able to bloom and shine to make themselves comfortable in being part of those three groups” said Emma.
“It’s so nice that we have done this the first time ever since we formed the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but of course, we still have more plans to come. Hopefully, you’ll be ready to start making your dreams with us if you want to get inspired and thrilled for us” said Karin.
“Yeah, we will!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“While Karin-san and Kanata-san have been involved meeting with the Bravehearts of Kōtō occasionally, me and Himeno-san have also participated to focus on the recruiting system” said Haruka.
“Shunichi had allowed anyone including school idols to collaborate because he was more focused in gathering around with anyone who had to show their pride and compassion; thus, this is the part where things have gone blooming in your community for sure” said Himeno.
“Yeah!” said Emiko, Marika and Eriko.
“With the expansion had been ongoing, the Bravehearts of Kōtō will prepare to make the difference while not only that the extended groups will be formed, but a lot of connections will be coming to our way” said Emiko.
“You’ll be more delighted to make everyone blessed and inspired because we care for them to believe and shine” said Marika.
“Hopefully, our compassion will never lose for all of us as soon as we’re all working together as one. Right, everyone?” said Eriko.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“It will be a beautiful partnership that bravehearts and school idols working together harmoniously to make everyone getting some thrills to gleam” said Kanata.
“When it’s our time to step up and shine, all we have to do is be compassionated and admired for our future to be made” said Emma.
“That way, we’ll never let us down because we have the passion to show up! We dive to bloom and shout for a great sound of tokimeki! That’s the principle of being members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, Kanata and Emma!” said Karin.
“Yeah, Karin-chan!” said Kanata and Emma.
“And so, keep counting on us to continue this partnership any longer!” said Karin.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“Thanks for your sharing, Haruka-san! I’m generally more thrilled that you’ll have high hopes to take, but hopefully, you’ll continue smiling through your heart!” said Emiko.
“Yeah, you’re welcome! You can always count on me!” said Haruka.
“Yeah!” said Emiko.
“Since you’re done sharing about you and Kanata-chan getting closer on your relationship as sisters, then, I’m next to share, Haruka-chan, because I’m happy to do this!” said Emma.
“Sure, be my guest!” said Haruka.
“We’ll be happy to see what your sharing would be like because it would be dazzling!” said Karin.
“You got it, Karin-chan!” said Emma while giving Karin and Haruka a smile before sharing her own topic. “So, my sharing will be all about my first edelweiss when I visited Japan the first time. You see, I was in Switzerland where a lot of flowers growing one place to another and I admired them with my care. I became adored in taking care of flowers because it made me feel good to prosper everyone to make sure that they’ll be able to admire me at all. Just then, I went to Japan when I started high school as a student of Y.G. International and this is the part where I felt ambivalent to witness. On my first day in Y.G. International, I saw a lot of flowers coming by at their garden and I’m fascinated to see those to make sure that they’re blooming. Then, I saw a bunch of edelweiss being grown in the middle section, which I’m very fascinated to see those like how it used in Switzerland. That’s why I decided to buy some edelweiss seeds in the flowering shop and started to take care of those for myself in the dormitory. It made me feel buono to inspire those because not only that I’m determined to make happiness to everyone, but I’m very thrilled to take care of them!” Buono means ‘good’ in Italian.
“Wow! You’re seemed to be interested on that flower, Emma-san!” said Emiko.
“That flower had used to prosper themselves through blooming” said Marika.
“That means, you must be shining too!” said Eriko.
“Yes, of course! I like to take care of edelweiss when I decided to study in Y.G. International because I want to grow just like how it did in Switzerland. I have managed to give them to my family members when I travelled back home for vacation. I’m sure that they’ll love it because they have admired them to make sure that they’re shining after all” said Emma.
“I have to say that you’re admiring those just because you’re more focused in taking care of the environment” said Shuko.
“Flowers are used to grow beautifully when they have found sunlight in the morning” said Hideko.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to groom them to make sure you’re going to give them to everyone” said Wakana.
“And since you’re a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, you should be more admired to give them as well!” said Mayuko.
“Yes, I would be glad to, girls! I’ll have to give them one day when it’s all good to go! You’ll have them too!” said Emma.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana and Mayuko.
“I have a question to ask you. When you give that edelweiss to your friends back in Switzerland?” queried Yuko Kusayanagi, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a friend of Eriko Haruno.
“Back when I was a little girl, then, I started to take care of those in Japan where I gave those to my Japanese friends, so that they’ll be able to bloom themselves like I used to. I also gave one to Yōko Matsushima, who is a flower-interested enthusiast because she liked to collect those for her garden. I even give her some seeds as a set-up to create her own edelweiss garden. I’m always cherished to give those, which is why I’m always taking care of them through my heart” said Emma.
“Ah, that’s very nice! I’m sure that those flowers will be ready to bloom themselves to make sure that they’re shining through the sun” said Yuko.
“Hopefully, I’ll be happy to get one of those when it’s done because I haven’t seen that for myself” said Nanako Tajima, a sixth grade elementary school student from the Funahashi Elementary School and a friend of Eriko Haruno.
“Why, you should, Nanako-chan! I’ll give you once when it’s good to go! You’ll need that to make yourself compassionated, right?” said Emma.
“Yes, I am!” said Nanako.
“If she had that, I’ll go with that too!” said Yuko.
“Well, you’ll be cherished to give you those one day, so that you’ll make me feel thrilled for sure!” said Emma.
“Yeah!” said Yuko and Nanako.
“Aside from edelweiss, what other flowers did you take care of in the dormitory?” asked Emiko.
“There are hydrangeas and camellias that I got. It grew from their seeds to grow for just a week” said Emma.
“That’s not bad at all! I like those flowers! We used to plant those in our class!” said Emiko.
“We have admired them when they grew for just a week and we took care of those without a doubt” said Marika.
“Ah, I’m surprised with that! I can’t believe that you two have also admired on flowers! That’s buono!” said Emma.
“Yes, we are!” said Emiko and Marika.
“We want to be more confident in taking care of those flowers, so that they’ll spark to bloom when it’s the time to shine” said Emiko.
“It’s so nice that we took care of them through our hearts and hopefully, we’ll have to cherish those for sure!” said Marika.
“That’s very nice! I’m sure that you’ll be keeping it up and, on that note, you’ll have to keep blessing them through your hearts, which makes yourself comfortable to take care of everything. I’m sure that you’ll cherish yourself with a smile once you’ll be able to admire us when we’re performing just for you!” said Emma.
“Yeah, we will!” said Emiko and Marika.
“Now that Emma is done, it’s time to move on to another color as this time, it will be orange” said Eriko.
“That’s going to be you, Nanako!” said Karin.
“Let’s see what you’re going to share for us!” said Kanata.
“Of course!” said Nanako as she’s taking her turn to share about her own topic. “I haven’t joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō yet, but I began to take part of this group because I was a close friend of Eriko. Eriko had been a member of the Funahashi Elementary School girls’ basketball team last year and I have been able to admire her when she had dazzled with her moves that she can’t miss. Of course, Eriko had entrusted me to join the Blue Starlight Squad because I’m very confident to get closer to her, especially that she had started to help my community to grow with blessings. Hopefully, I’ll be expecting to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō in the future if I want to make the difference to represent for my community, but for now, I’ll have to wait for my time to join if I’ll be able to participate in the activities within the Blue Starlight Squad and the Bravehearts of Kōtō.”
“Well, to be honest, you’re seemed to be confident about joining the Bravehearts of Kōtō, aren’t you?” asked Karin.
“Yeah! I want to prosper with Eriko, so that we’re going to work together to prosper our community through our compassion and thrill” said Nanako.
“Ah, I see! I’m very determined that you should join some activities to let them empower with your smiles” said Karin.
“That way, you’ll be able to find new friends to gleam with!” said Kanata.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to let them prosper with your smiles, but of course, you should also contribute with Eriko on her activities if you want” said Emma.
“Yeah, of course! Eriko had her own set of friends from the Crimson Coronet, led by Shino Kazami. Of course, I should have been part of that group if I initially accepted the spot to be part of it, but I’m a very close friend of Eriko, which is why I decided to go for another direction: to represent with my own symbol” said Nanako.
“Okay, I see what your ambition is going with, Nanako-chan. I’ll be happy if we can help you joining that braveheart group because we believe that you want to be like them” said Karin.
“Really?” queried Nanako.
“Yep! We used to help Kotoko, Emiko and Marika in showing their pride, compassion and charisma to make sure that they’re ready to shine themselves through their smiles and auras. We have been able to groom them, which is why they ended becoming members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Kanata.
“Eriko will also help you on our plan, Nanako-chan, because she’s more confident to help everyone on her side, just like how she did it to her friends from the Crimson Coronet” said Emma.
“That’s true, Emma! I’m a good braveheart with a strong charisma to believe. I’ll be happy if I can count on your dreams that you have” said Nanako.
“Oh, sure I would be glad to!” said Nanako.
“Well, in order to be a braveheart, you have to overcome the challenges that you have as soon as you’ll be able to finish it through your heart” said Karin.
“Also, you should not give up when you’re trying to get into the challenge, so that, you don’t have to worry about anything” said Kanata.
“Just stay positive and be proud of them! That’s what the braveheart have used to show their pride, compassion and charisma!” said Emma.
“We have seen those when the Bravehearts of Kōtō have shown their first thrill when they have organized a group activity to make their community Kōtō growing with brighter future to come” said Haruka.
“So, hopefully, you’ll get used to it if you want to be part of them through your rainbow heart” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I’ll do it, girls! I’ll never let them down!” said Nanako.
“That’s my girl! I’m feeling pumped out to see Nanako ready to shine!” said Yuko.
“Of course, she was! I hope that she’ll be able to make the difference when she’ll be participating in a future activity that involves the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Eriko.
“I’m sure that she’ll get one to get involved with you and hopefully, she’s gonna do it no matter what!” said Yuko.
“Yeah, I agree!” said Eriko while giving Yuko a smile. “You should do the same thing too if you want to be part of us as well!”
“Yeah, for sure!” said Yuko.
“Aside from planning to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō, what are your expectations to watch out for the Blue Starlight Squad?” asked Karin.
“I hope that we’re planning to visit some music store to buy some music albums to use. I like Japanese music because they’re through the beat and it never been stopped at all. I hope that I can take a glimpse on those as soon as I’m ready to not miss the beat!” said Nanako.
“That sounds nice! I think that I recommend you to buy some idol CDs because they’re more blooming and harmonious to heart those” said Karin.
“There are a lot of CDs being sold in Odaiba, especially in some recommended otaku stores. You can choose any type of CD you want” said Kanata.
“It will be nice that you’re going to have a nice hobby to relax because music is the best thing to sooth yourself” said Emma.
“And because the five of us are school idols, you can always count on us to cheer and shout!” said Haruka.
“You’ll be cherished enough to hear those through your hearts and of course, you should impress them!” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I will, girls! I’ll be more positive to buy some music out there because we’re going to organize a future mini concert by the end of the month. So, watch out for that!” said Nanako.
“Yeah, we will!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“After the color green, let’s move on to the color orange as this time, it will be Wakana taking her turn to share” said Emiko.
“Yep! I’m sure that you’ll have something to share, Wakana. Now, show your pride for us!” said Marika.
“Okay!” said Wakana as she’s taking her turn to share about her own topic. “For me, I’ll be sharing about my collection of anime stamps. My older brother Masaharu and I have been collecting stamps ever since we were little because we want to treasure those as memories that we have found all along. My older brother had started this when he was interested in attending a fan convention for Gundam, thus, he was able to get some stamps that he got from that event. Then, that’s why I started to get interested into this when he was given an idol stamp that featured Uzuki Shimamura. Of course, I want that to treasure it and so, he agreed to give that stamp to me, which leads to the fact that I started to get some idol stamps from different idols. Recently, I got an idol stamp from Airi Totoki because I like her recent performance that made her return looking good than ever. I have praised her because not only that she’s generous, but she’s very compassionated just like the five of you! I will never forget that moment because it’s so nice that I got a stamp from her!” Masaharu Yamamoto is a second year high school student from the Funahashi High School and the older brother of Wakana Yamamoto.
“Well, that was a nice sharing that you have, Wakana-chan! I didn’t know that you have collected some stamps out there!” said Karin.
“It’s so nice that you have gotten into that interest since you have admired idols to get their stamps into your collection” said Kanata.
“I’m very delighted that you have that interest being buono because it will make your cherished that you’ll have them as memories for you” said Emma.
“You’re looking confident that you’ll be able to cherish them because the idols have admired you with your impression being off the charts” said Haruka.
“Hopefully, you’ll be able to have more stamps to collect, especially that you want to impress in our next performance” said Himeno.
“Well, I would watch out for that because I heard that you have plans to perform in the future” said Wakana.
“Yes, you should! Of course, we haven’t given those yet because we need to produce more PR videos as part of making progress in our school idol club” said Karin.
“We have to keep it together to gain some attention from the other areas within the country, especially through the entire world” said Kanata.
“If we want to be more confident in making our dreams come true, you should support us. I know that you can count on us for sure!” said Emma.
“Yeah, of course! I’ll be more confident to do this because not only that I’m an admirer of the idols, but I want to see them gleaming through their smiles” said Wakana.
“I agree with your words, Wakana-chan! You should be ready to see our PR videos very soon” said Karin.
“We want to call the attention to everyone that we’re here to gleam and shine” said Kanata.
“We’ll be happy if we want our reputation to be growing and so, you have to give us the smile that we need, so that we’ll cherish it!” said Emma.
“Okay, I will!” said Wakana.
“After Wakana, we’re going to move on to another storyteller as this time, it will be Mayuko” said Emiko.
“That’s right, Emiko-san!” said Marika before speaking to Mayuko sweetly. “Now, tell us everything whether it’s something interesting to you or say something about your dreams.”
“Well, I want to share about my experience in making cakes. It was started when my cousin Hidehiko taught me how to make cakes that are so delicious a few years ago. He had been a great cake maker since elementary school and he had been a great job in making those cakes, especially that he worked part-time with his parents. Then, one day, I was thinking about the desserts that I need for my father’s birthday last month when he suggested me to make a cake. I said to him that I haven’t done that before, even I didn’t have some experience in making those, but only to impress his performance. As a result, he decided to help me in making a cake for my father and it had been paid off. I’m so surprised that I have gotten into baking for the first time because I want to get some experience in doing that, so that I’ll be able to impress my parents that I have baked a special cake for my father. It’s so good that I have done that to make sure that my father will be happy to see it and he was impressed of eating a slice of cake. I hope that I can go for another cake to bake if I want to, but it worth a lot better.”
“Ah, that’s very nice! I can’t believe that you have done something bigger to please your father!” said Karin.
“You finally have an experience in making a beautiful cake to make your father proud! It was so nice that you have done it for yourself, which makes Kanata-chan feel happy that you have worked hard to get the job done!” said Kanata.
“I have to say that you have been a great job in making a perfect cake to impress your father, which means that I’m so proud of you!” said Emma.
“I hope that you’ll have a lot of time to improve your skills in making a cake because you should do something big to master it” said Haruka.
“That way, you’ll be delighted that you have baked a good cake to build” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I agree! My brother had been a terrific job in baking a cake ever since he had topped it off in his cooking class last year. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make it better and learn from my brother for sure” said Mayuko.
“Of course, you can! I believe that you’ll be able to work hard in making a cake if you want to pay it off!” said Karin.
“Kanata-chan and Haruka-chan have done that many times when we baked those at home when they are visitors from either our family or in Shinonome” said Kanata.
“It will cherish you to work hard no matter what as soon as you’ll be good enough to master it through your rainbow heart” said Emma.
“Okay, I will, girls!” said Mayuko.
“Now, the next person to share is going to be you, Marika-san. I’m so surprised that you’re going to tell us something amazing!” said Emiko.
Marika gives Emiko a smile as she’s going to share about her own topic to everyone. “Yep! You got that right, Emiko! I’m going to share about photography, one of my hobbies that I have when I’m not into school stuff. You see, my father is a great photographer for sports journalism and he had been able to take pictures of players in the court whether they’re in action or not. I took one of his books to see what I have found and they’re all beautiful and shiny. That’s why I decided to take my talents on being a photographer as an alternative dream to being a basketball player. When the Funahashi Elementary School girls’ basketball team had ended its season last winter, I decided to get along with my father for some photography sessions. One of the things that I remembered from my father is that I have to focus on the person that I kept an eye on as well as to observe how he/she does in a game. The more that I took some pictures, the better that I gotten my skills in photography starting to develop. It’s so nice for me to take photography, but I can’t wait to do this for a big day when I’ll be assigned by the Bravehearts of Kōtō in a future activity known as the general assembly for the new members in our group.”
“Oh, my goodness! You must be good in that hobby, Marika-chan!” said Karin.
“I’m so surprised that you got the skills to prove that you’re making pictures of athletes out there!” said Kanata.
“I have to say that you’re more determined to take pictures that are more related to athletic stuff! I have a few friends who have gotten into this and they’re very good at it!” said Emma.
“You’re seemed to be confident on taking pictures of athletes, Marika-san. I’m sure that you’ll be able to take perfect picture shots of athletes that are putting up a good show” said Haruka.
“You’ll be able to master it when you’re growing up very soon” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I agree, girls!” said Marika.
“I have a question to ask you, Marika-chan. What sport did you focus on when it comes to sports photography?” said Karin.
“Well, I’m going to with indoor sports such as basketball and volleyball because my father used to watch those games when he was young before taking some pictures of players that are in action. In basketball, he used to take pictures of one or more players in the court when they’re clashing against each other. I have seen some of the pictures that are in action because they have stepped up to create their own game like the way they used to be. This would also do the same thing to those that are playing volleyball where they have worked hard with their mind and hustle to make sure that they’ll be able to get their moments on” said Marika.
“Ah, interesting. I’m sure that you like to take pictures of athletes that are tough enough to make their own performance” said Karin.
“It will be so nice that you’re going to make the players getting into the spotlight when they’re shining in their way” said Kanata.
“That way, they’ll be recognized to get their attention to the media at all” said Emma.
“Yeah, I agree, girls. That’s why my father is a licensed photographer for the sports section of the Yomiuri Shimbun as he was able to participate in selected games to take pictures of the players in the top leagues. Hopefully, he’ll be able to keep it up to make sure that he’s gonna be one of the best photographers in that group” said Marika.
“That sounds good for him! You should inspire him in trying to become a licensed photographer like him because you have to learn everything from him to master your photography skills from time to time. And if you’re done playing basketball at about mid-30s, you can now focus on that if you needed to” said Karin.
“It will take many years to master photography for yourself, but of course, you should be more expressive to take pictures at any time you want” said Kanata.
“I’ll be cherished if you’ll be sharing some pictures that you have when you’re going to take pictures that are hyped for everyone” said Emma.
“Well, I’ll give it a try, but I’ll see what I can do” said Marika.
“How photography being applied to your friend group?” asked Haruka.
“To be honest, my friends from the Cerise and Diamond had been more focused on photography after they saw me taking a picture of the young people riding their bicycles happily. My good friend Naoya Hiramoto had been assisting me on what to take a picture with and he’s making a lot of suggestions to me on trying to take pictures whenever I roamed around in Kōtō. As a result, the Cerise and Diamond became more focused in observing everyone to see how they are doing and they have shown their lives easier” said Marika.
“Ah, I see! I’m very surprised that you friends have gotten into photography as well, which means that you want them to know about your skills! I’m happy with that!” said Haruka.
“Your friends will also look forward on their future to take photography skills and of course, they wanted to make good pictures to take up with, so that they’ll be able to treasure those without losing it” said Himeno.
“Yep! I agree with that, girls! I’m always motivated to make pictures that are good to show up and of course, I’ll let my friends cherish to share my pictures that I have when it’s good to go. Hopefully, I’ll be ready to do this when the general assembly will take place in a few days” said Marika.
“Good for you, Marika-chan! I hope that you’ll be able to show your skills to take pictures of everyone when you’re going to witness that event” said Karin.
“It will be fantastic that we’re going to see them, which makes Kanata-chan so excited to see what’s in store on your pictures that you’ll gonna take” said Kanata.
“Once the event is done, share those to us at any time! I’ll be happy to see how you’re doing in that event!” said Emma.
“Yeah, I will!” said Marika.
“Thank you for your sharing, Marika-san” said Emiko while giving Marika a smile before announcing the next person to share. “So, we’re now in the middle of the activity and we still have more girls to share. The next person to share in this activity will be Eriko Haruno.”
“Yes, I am, Emiko!” said Eriko as she’s going to share her own topic to everyone. “As you all know, I had been very interested in making cupcakes because they’re so sweet and delicious to eat. I had an experience in making those with my older siblings and I had been able to work up in getting the job done. We worked together when we built some cupcakes that are served for our family and friends on our side, which they have indulged themselves to eat those. Me and Kenji have taken care of the ingredients before Rika and Hina handling the cooking process. Then, we did some baking process for about 30-40 minutes to make the cupcakes being served. I’m so happy that those cupcakes have been looked good like the way they used to in bakery shops and so, I’m feeling satisfied with it!” Kenji Haruno is a third year high school student from the Funahashi High School, Rika Haruno is a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and Hina Haruno is a second year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School. They’re the older siblings of Eriko Haruno.
“Well, I’m very happy that you have worked hard in baking cupcakes for your family and friends on your side. I’m proud of that!” said Karin.
“You must be good in baking those with your hard work! I’m so happy that you and your siblings have found a synchronization to work together on baking those cupcakes! It’s almost like how Kanata-chan and Haruka-chan have worked on making sweets that are so delicious!” said Kanata.
“I have to say that you and your siblings are hard-working people to bring those cupcakes coming to your community, which means that the community had liked you at all. You’re seemed to be confident that everyone recognized you right now” said Emma.
“Thanks, girls! It’s a great teamwork that me and my siblings have made and we wanted to be more confident in keeping it up for more, so that we’ll be able to get the job done and make the community ready to take a glimpse on those. Even it’s just for the community, we want to be more confident in working on our own representation while our parents are very with their jobs in Chiyoda as business workers. I’ll be more confident to keep this up no matter as soon as I’ll be able to bless and inspire everyone for sure!” said Eriko.
“Then, good for you! I’m so generous that you have been able to make your community being prospered with your efforts because you want them to be blessed and thrilled” said Karin.
“I believe that your community had been looked confident to see you working as a braveheart because not only that you have energized them to be on the move, but you made them feel good with your smile” said Kanata.
“Everyone will be more determined to inspire you and so, they cherish themselves to make sure that they’ll never let you down after all. I’m sure that your community is ready to motivate you for a better future” said Emma.
“You’ll be able to have a lot of blessings to create with because you’re one of the members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō” said Haruka.
“And so, you’ll cherish it for them to make sure that you’ll make them feel comfortable through the bottom of your heart” said Himeno.
“Yes, I will!” said Eriko.
“Anyway, Eriko-chan, there’s also a question that I’m going to ask you. What kind of desires that you put up for your community?” said Karin.
“I want to give them some treats that they’ll love because they wanted to stay generous and compassionated, so that they’ll never let themselves down. It’s my goal of being a braveheart ever since I joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō. My fellow groupmates Koharu Yagami, Kaguya Sunakawa, Haruyo Aiuchi and Nanako Kiyomoto have groomed me to step up and shine for them because they have entrusted me to get my confidence growing up and I always feel happy with that. Sometimes, a braveheart does the job to bless and inspire everyone, not just for one side, but for everyone’s side. Shunichi told me when the Bravehearts of Kōtō have been formed and I always remembered those words to make sure that I’ll make my life of being a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō getting easier after all” said Eriko.
“Ah, that’s a nice desire that you have, Eriko-chan! I’m so glad that you have been groomed by your fellow groupmates that they entrusted you all along, which it reminds me of my fellow models have encouraged me to keep my confidence alive when I’m about to take the center stage for the first time. It made me feel better to not give up and show what I have got, which I paid it off!” said Karin.
“Everyone had their own challenge to overcome because they want to be more thrilled in making their efforts going up to make sure that they’ll never let themselves down” said Kanata.
“We, as school idols, have done a lot of efforts to make sure that we want to give everyone some thrills that they need to shine, which means that we became admired by them” said Emma.
“For us, we want to make the difference to show that we’re here to bloom and shine for everyone to make their dreams come true” said Haruka.
“This goes same to you and your friends on your side. You should step up with your auras that you have, so that you’ll be able to empower yourselves to make everyone cherished with your smiles. It will be amazing that everyone will be able to inspire you with your representation of being bravehearts and so, they’ll be ready to get along with you at any time that they want” said Himeno.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Emiko, Marika, Eriko and their friends.
“The Bravehearts of Kōtō have been able to make progress through our activities to make the ward of Kōtō growing with blessings that cherished everyone” said Emiko.
“That’s why we have to stay positive in building new dreams and partnerships to be made, so that we’ll be able to shine them through our smiles” said Marika.
“Hopefully, we’ll be doing our best to show that we’re here to believe and shine for everyone, especially to you, girls!” said Eriko.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“So, what are your expectations to build for your representation, Eriko-san?” asked Haruka.
Marika would answer to Haruka’s question as she’s going to explain about what’s next for her. “Me and my friends from the Cherish Unicorn, led by Harumi Sakamoto, have currently made talks with my close friends on my side where we’re planning form my own circle of friends that will be used to represent for me. Right now, it’s still work in progress, but we’re expecting to form this by next week if everyone had agreed to this as soon as possible. Also, with the Bravehearts of Kōtō had started to expand themselves by welcoming new members, things will about to get different when our new members will be ready to believe in shine in representing for us.”
“Ah, that’s good! It sounds like you will finally have your own set of friends to create with!” said Haruka.
“You’re more ambitious to have more friends on your side, which means that you’re going to be more blessed to have them at all!” said Himeno.
“I have to say that you’re more determined to have more friends on your side, so that they’re going to cheer for you, which is very nice!” said Karin.
“I’m so surprised that you’re finally ready to have your blessings coming out to bloom you, which makes Kanata-chan feel happy to see you ready to create some thrills to them!” said Kanata.
“That’s a nice plan that you have, Eriko-chan! Looks like you will finally have your own connection circle to assemble with, which means that you will finally have the privilege to collaborate with them for fantastic and magnificent activities to come!” said Emma.
“Yes, of course!” said Eriko while giving Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno a smile. “You see, I had been able to make progress for my fellow friends in the Bravehearts of Kōtō and I’m feeling grateful that I want to have my opportunities to collaborate with my friends from the Crimson Coronet and my allies including the Cherish Unicorn, which the group that my older siblings run, in my hometown, so that we’ll be creating our future through pride and prosperity. It’s so nice that I have been able to put up some representation to believe and hopefully, I’ll keep it up to make sure that they’ll never let me down for sure!” The Cherish Unicorn is led by Masako Hirajima, a third year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School.
“Atta girl, Eriko-chan! I’m sure that you’ll be ready to make it shine once your circle of friends will be formed!” said Karin.
“I’ll be watching out for that because Kanata-chan will make you thrilled when you’re going to come out to prosper your community!” said Kanata.
“It’s going to be awesome that you and your friends on your side will be ready to build up a great partnership to make sure that you’re ready to give them the thrills that they will cherish with” said Emma.
“We’ll be cheering for you to make sure that you’re going to make your dreams come true” said Haruka.
“That way, you’re ready to show some pride and prosperity to shine and believe” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I will, girls!” said Eriko while giving Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno a smile. “You’ll have to wait for a week to make my circle of friends ready to go because this is our time to make the difference to not only going to shine my hometown, but for the entire ward of Kōtō. You’ll be ready to make us blessed and inspired when it’s all complete!”
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“I’m so happy that you have shared that to them, Eriko!” said Yuko.
“It’s going to be amazing that you’re going to make your comfortable with your friends and allies on your side once your circle of friends will be formed” said Nanako.
“Yeah, of course, Yuko and Nanako! You better watch out because it’ll be blooming and sparkling to witness when I’ll reveal it to you very soon!” said Eriko.
“Yeah!” said Yuko and Nanako.
“We’re down to just five remaining, composed of Yuko, Shuko, Kanata, Hideko and Emiko. So, let’s get into the next person to share for the ‘Around the Colors of the Rainbow’ activity” said Marika.
“As this time, it’s going to be Yuko Kusanagi” said Eriko.
The next two will be shared in a montage because after the two, Kanata’s sharing will be very important to hear since she’s a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. For Yuko, she had shared about her friendship with Eriko. “When it comes to my friendship with Yuko, I started to be kind to her because not only that she’s a member of the Funahashi Elementary School girls’ basketball team, but also representing for the Bravehearts of Kōtō. She had groomed me to act like a braveheart and I’m feeling happy that she had helped to show my pride that I don’t want to miss. Thus, I became more confident to follow the principles of her to make sure that I’ll be able to step up and shine like the way I used to be. Right now, I’m not a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō, but I still got involved in helping Eriko to prosper her community to make sure that they’ll have blessings to make with. My friendship with Eriko had been developed right now and I hope that I’ll be able to bless her to make herself compassionated through her heart. It’s so nice that I want to be closer to a special person who is a braveheart and so, I cherish it!”
After that, it was Shuko’s turn to share her own topic as she’s focusing about her interests of iced cold latte. “I have gotten interested into cold drinks because it made me cooler to do something nicer than just drinking a hot drink that almost got bad feelings already. However, my most favorite cold drink that I tasted is an iced cold latte. It’s a drink that I like to buy during breaktime and it’s so good that I can put away my stresses that I got into. Of course, I want to drink an iced cold latte, so that I’ll be able to think positive of having a good day. The only that I want to be more mindful of is that I sometimes drink that if I’m not in the mood, especially that I felt bored after school. So, I would be more confident to drink iced cold latte to make me feel better and to focus on my studies, which is my priority to survive a term in Funahashi. Also, I shared some iced cold latte to my friends including Emiko, so that we want to be more relaxed, which they liked it at all. It’s a good that you can drink a coffee latte to make you feel better and so, you should not lose your confidence all the time to make sure that you’ll be just fine.”
Once Shuko is done sharing her topic, Emiko would give Kanata her turn to share. “It’s your turn to share your topic, Kanata-san. I know that you have been confident recently with your beautiful plans with Kotoko and her allies, so, share it to us.”
“Of course, I will, Emiko-chan!” said Kanata as she’s going to share her topic about her propositions that collaborated with Kotoko and her friends. “First of all, Kotoko had been dreaming of creating a connection circle that not only it’ll be composed of her friends on her side including those from Rainbow Dianthus, led by Ayumi Hayata, but also, those that have been connected to her in Shinonome. What’s more is that some of her close friends will end up joining the Bravehearts of Kōtō, which Kotoko had decided to call me and Haruka-chan about this matter. Thus, we finally started to make agreements with Kotoko and her friends to prepare for the expansion of the Bravehearts of Kōtō, thus, Runa Takakura, my cousin from paternal aunt Ryōko Takakura, had ended up joining that group first. We’re expecting to create more opportunities to welcome new members to the Bravehearts Kōtō and so, we’ll try our best to bloom for more to make sure that they’ll have the blessings and thrills to get with.”
“Ah, this is getting interesting, Kanata-san! I’m so surprised that you had a lot of plans to collaborate with Kotoko!” said Shuko.
“You must be very determined that you want that group to expand with your ideas” said Hideko.
“I have to say that you’re a very close friend of Kotoko” said Wakana.
“Which is why we were surprised about the fact that you and Kotoko have made good terms to push through those plans” said Mayuko.
“I haven’t heard about the expansion of the Bravehearts of Kōtō before I joined the Blue Starlight Squad, but I’m very confident that you’re working on this, Kanata” said Yuko.
“That’s going to make a lot of plans to allow the Bravehearts of Kōtō to welcome new members through the connection of her family and allies” said Nanako.
Kanata gives Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako as she’s going to explain about her desires of making her propositions with Kotoko. “That’s true, girls! I have been very good in making dreams, even I’m not getting into this for any longer due to those being unfinished, and sometimes, it had been fulfilled with the efforts that I got, but sometimes, it didn’t turn out well when there’s a hard time to finish on those. Kotoko said that her connection circle has the same level as both Shinako Takanashi, the cousin of our fellow NijiGaku member Ayumu Uehara, and Yōko Matsushima, thus, she wanted to not only include her allies that she became friends with for a long time, but she also convinced some groups to join in making collaborative activities to shine her community. When it comes to Kotoko and Chiya’s special circle group known as the Perfect Violet Section, she said that her close friends that are aiming to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō will become members of that group. That’s why we decided to meet with her friends a few days ago to settle the agreement, which it turned out to be blooming as Kanata-chan expected. I’m sure that Kotoko will be ready to have more friends to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō, especially there will be some pride and compassion to come out for them to be thrilled through their rainbow hearts.”
“Ah, we understand now, Kanata!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“I have to say that your plans must be looked good when you want to help everyone to make it fulfilled, but it’s going to take a long time before it’s all come true” said Shuko.
“You and Kotoko should keep working together to job done, but I hope that it will be looked good enough for them to have new members while the extended group system had been worked in progress” said Wakana.
“You’ll be happy that your dreams will come true one day, Kanata. I promise!” said Yuko.
“Yeah, for sure!” said Kanata while giving Shuko, Wakana and Yuko.
“This would do the same thing for the two of us because Emiko, Marika and I have made proposals about the expansion of the Bravehearts of Kōtō while Emma took a little agreement with Chiya and Minami to add new members while letting Mai Natsukawa, a former school idol, to join as an associate” said Karin.
“Then, there are rumors that Fūko Nishitani, Rika Okumoto and Maiko Senda will expect to form their extended groups in collaborating with Mia and Lanzhu, which is very more exciting to watch out even those two haven’t become part of NijiGaku yet” said Emma.
“The collaboration between us and the Bravehearts of Kōtō will expect to be completed by the end of the month as soon as everyone will agree to those as soon as possible” said Kanata.
“Hopefully, we’re going to start planning on future collaborative activities to make once everything will be settled to make everyone including you girls have your dreams come true” said Karin.
“The more that you excite on this, the better that your thrills will come out for sure!” said Emma.
“Kanata-chan will be ready to make yourself thrilled once we have done the propositions, so that we’ll be ready to bloom and shine just for you!” said Kanata.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“I have a question, Kanata-san. What the Rainbow Dianthus would be like because I haven’t seen them yet?” said Hideko.
“Well, I’m glad that you asked!” said Kanata while giving Hideko a smile before going to explain about the Rainbow Dianthus. “The Rainbow Dianthus is a friend group that is composed of the friends of Kotoko Hachiuma where they have prospered her on her basketball career. That group had been very generous to show their blessings to her whenever she’s dazzling with their aura to shine and so, they began to get innovated to be with her through wonderful ideas and harmonious dreams that they have. Ayumi was a very close friend of Kotoko because they were classmates at the same section, thus, they decided to get along with each other the rest of the Rainbow Dianthus to focus on giving everyone the dreams that they’ll get. They have allies that they collaborated with including the Luminous Violet, who is led by my good friend of mine in Kazuha Harasaki, where they have focused on helping the people to empower themselves through dreams that they have. It’s so nice that they have been able to show their pride and willpower to make sure that they’ll never let themselves down through their auras they have.” Kazuha is a third year high school student from the Funahashi High School and the leader of the Luminous Violet.
“Ah, that’s very nice! I’m so surprised that the friends of Kotoko have been compassionated to her to make sure that they’ll be able to bloom their community like the way they used to” said Hideko.
“I believe that they have their own charismatic ways to show that they’re here to make everyone comfortable, which means that they’ll do whatever they want for as long as they’ll give them some smiles” said Mayuko.
“I hope that we can meet them if we want to because it will be amazing that we’re going to see how they’re doing in their activities that they prospered” said Nanako.
“Well, they’re complimented to show their pride and willpower to everyone, not only for their allies, but us like our school idol club. They have praised our recent performance, which means that they have finally got their thrills to show for their rainbow hearts. I’m sure that you’ll be more amazed to see us performed one day” said Kanata.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“If some of Kotoko’s friends are interested to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō, will the other friends of some members of that group will join as well?” asked Shuko.
“Yes, they will, Shuko-chan! Aside from Kotoko’s, there are other members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō have found their ideas to expand that group such as welcoming the fifth graders, led by Kaede Yahagi and Shōhei Miyano” said Kanata.
“The allies of Kotoko have already joined the Bravehearts of Kōtō while those that are friends with the other members of that group have awaited their membership, so that they’ll be part of the family of bravehearts in Kōtō at any time” said Karin.
“They have also invited some from their connection circle to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō including our allies that they supported our school idol club” said Emma.
“It’s going to be fantastic that the Bravehearts of Kōtō will expect to have the same level as the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Takanawa once the expansion is finally complete” said Haruka.
“Which means that it will be amazing for all of us to get along with them whatever we want to keep our partnership with them being developed for more” said Himeno.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Emiko, Marika, Eriko and their friends.
“I’ll be blissful that there will be more members to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō once the expansion will be making progress and so, I’ll watch out for them for sure!” said Shuko.
“Yeah, I agree with that, Shuko-san! Our Bravehearts of Kōtō will expect to do something big to make it blooming and shining, so that we’re going to have a lot of activities to prosper our community through our hearts” said Emiko.
“All we have to do right now is to focus on welcoming new members as well as making extended groups, so that we’re gonna have more blessings to come out with” said Marika.
“Many opportunities will be made once the expansion is done and hopefully, we’ll be ready to show our pride, compassion and willpower to run together as one! Of course, our allies from the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club will be here to keep tracking on our proposals to make sure that these will be fulfilled in no time. Right, Kanata?” said Eriko.
“Yeah, you got it, Eriko-chan! I’ll be keeping you updated on the proposals at some other time if we’re not busy with our studies or school idol stuff” said Kanata.
“We have our own activities to set up with and so, we’re going to come to their home one day, so that we’ll be focusing on those to make progress” said Karin.
“It will be alright to make yourself thrilled while you’ll be flanked by the new members of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. I promise you; they’ll be here to make you comfortable after all!” said Emma.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“I hope that your plan will work out, Kanata-san, because it’s going to be fantastic that you’re gonna make your dreams come true” said Shuko.
“I have to say that you and Kotoko are going to do something better to make everyone getting thrilled with those plans to make” said Hideko.
“You’re a cute and compassionated school idol that had a rainbow heart to gleam and shine with, Kanata-san” said Wakana.
“Yeah! You’re very good in making plans with your friends on your side, but I’m sure that you’ll be more confident for your dreams to be fulfilled one day” said Mayuko.
“Everyone in the Bravehearts of Kōtō including Emiko, Marika and Eriko had been cheering for you to make your school idol career shining bright” said Yuko.
“Which means that you’ll have a lot of opportunities to create your future not only for your school idol club, but for us” said Nanako.
“Yeah, I agree, girls! I’ll always be here to count on you through my rainbow heart! You’ll be more compassionated to make yourself comfortable to with me for sure!” said Kanata.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“After Kanata, we’re down to two more to go!” said Eriko.
“Which will be Hideko and Emiko” said Marika.
“I’m sure that you girls are getting to see my sharing, but like I said this earlier, I’ll save it the last, so that you’ll be able to get surprised about what I’m going to share later on. So, Hideko-san, share your own topic” said Emiko.
“Okay, you got it!” said Hideko as she’s going to share her own topic to everyone. “I’ll be sharing about my older brother’s interests in video games. My brother Hiroya had been known for his interest in playing video games, especially that he had brought a valuable console in PlayStation 4. He had bought a few titles to play with last year, even he’s still young to do it and of course, his favorite game is NBA 2K because he had been a fan of the NBA ever since his childhood days. Before buying NBA 2K, he watched some highlights on the Internet, specifically his favorite team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, because he had been confident to see them running when LeBron James was there. Even he didn’t have time to play basketball yet in the court, he had to do something to prove when it comes to playing NBA 2K on PlayStation 4, so that he can do whatever it takes to make his own moment to shine.” Hiroya Suehiro is a second year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and the older brother of Hideko Suehiro.
“Wow! I can’t believe that you had a brother who is interested in the NBA! That reminds my cousin of mine in Hideaki Kamikita, who had been ambitioned to play in the top basketball league in Japan by emulating some moves from different players in the NBA. He even became a fan of the Cavaliers too!” said Himeno. Hideaki Kamikita is a first year high school student from the Aosen High School and the cousin of Himeno Ayanokōji.
“Ah, I’m so surprised that he’s a fan of that team too! That’s very nice! That guy must be talented to show his basketball skills while representing his own team” said Hideko.
“Yep! You got that right!” said Himeno.
“If I remember correctly, Hideko, your cousin had been very confident to play in the court one day even he’s playing a video game. Do you think that he can prove it?” asked Yuko.
“Will he be able to emulate those from that video game?” added Shuko.
“Well, he tried to emulate it, but he’s too small to shoot because his height is 5’6”. He needs to learn to shoot around with a good athlete to improve his skills” said Hideko.
“I suggest that you should talk to Natsuko Tomizawa’s cousin Fumihisa Futagawa. He’s a first year high school student from the Aosen High School and he had just recently joined that school’s boys’ basketball team, playing as a combo guard. He’ll get a chance to prove” said Karin.
“I like your suggestion, Karin-san, but I don’t know if he’s gonna make it” said Hideko.
“He’ll be fine to have Fumihisa as his mentor. Fumihisa had been a strong catch-and-shoot specialist who can drain threes all day” said Karin.
“He had been very determined to make his shots going in like he’s icing on his veins like the way he used to be” said Kanata.
“We watched him one time in a street basketball with his allies from Natsuko’s connection circle and he had been so nice to show his firepower to count it for sure!” said Emma.
“You’ll be surprised your older brother will get some help from that great shooter because he’s gonna make the game of basketball easier than just a ball hog” said Himeno.
“I’m be happy if Hiroya will gonna make it to make sure that he’s going lights out with his own shots going in one day” said Haruka.
“I agree with your words, girls. My older brother had tried out for the varsity team when he was in elementary school, but he failed to fulfill it. Now, I hope that it’s gonna be changed when he’s getting another chance this year because he recently entered a tryout with the middle school boys’ basketball team” said Hideko.
“Well, I heard from Tomio that your brother will get a chance to get a spot in the second string if he will pass the three tests” said Shuko.
“That way, he’ll be happy to team up with his new teammates in the varsity team whenever they needed him to shine” said Yuko.
“Ah, I’m not bad with that news, girls, which I’m grateful to see that! Although he’s not good in basketball, he had to do something better to make his game of basketball getting better than ever” said Hideko.
“Well, I can call some of our fans who were indeed fans of the Cavaliers to come and play with him, Hideko-san” said Emiko.
“Karin whispered to us a few seconds ago about this because we know that your brother needs to shine if he can prove it to Tomio” said Marika.
“That way, he’ll be getting his spot to join the varsity team at all” said Eriko.
“That’s right, girls! I had met and befriended those that admired me and if they needed help, I’ll be counting on them to do it for you” said Karin.
“You see, Karin’s friends are very determined and passionate to show their pride while doing their best to make it dazzle and shine” said Kanata.
“It will be amazing that Hiroya will be happy to make friends with Fumihisa, so that he’s gonna improve his basketball skills to create his moment to shine” said Emma.
“He’s not going to let himself down when he’s going to have a special session to meet with” said Haruka.
“Hopefully, he’ll be ready to get balling with his own skills once he’s good to go” said Himeno.
“Yeah, he will!” said Hideko.
“By the way, Hideko, when he’s gonna play NBA 2K again?” asked Wakana.
“He’ll play it on Friday night because he’s gonna be busy to get along with his friends for a while, but thanks to Himeno’s suggestion, he’s finally gonna meet his match in a basketball session for sure!” said Hideko.
“Oh, that’s good for him! I knew that he’s gonna try to do something better to get it back to the game and he’s gonna count it to represent for the varsity team someday” said Wakana.
“Yeah, I hope so. He said that he should stick to have practice rather than playing NBA 2K in the weekdays because he needs to adjust anything including his assignment that he had right now” said Hideko.
“Ah, I see! I hope that he’s gonna get it for himself because he’s your brother, right?” said Wakana.
“Yep!” said Hideko while giving Wakana a smile.
“Imagine, a trio of Hiroya, Hideaki and Fumihisa playing in the court tomorrow would be great for Hiroya to start something new on his life” said Mayuko.
“That would be awesome to watch out for it!” said Kanako.
“Of course, girls! Any fan of the Cavaliers can team up with each other to run themselves through their pride and compassion because they that it’s time for them to believe and shine. You’re gonna see what they’re in store when they’re playing in the court because it’s all about the confidence that they have” said Himeno.
“It’ll be fantastic to see them getting their auras to come out and shine if they have their skills to prove and so, you should be ready to watch out for them to make their moves” said Karin.
“Hopefully, you’ll be more surprised to see them running together in the court with their moves to shine with because they’re not giving up at all to make their day easier” said Kanata.
“In Tokyo, the fans of the Cavaliers should keep their confidence from the start until the end whether it’s game time or not” said Emma.
“They’ll always respect them to keep their loyalty with that team alive and so, they’re gonna bring their confidence to prove to see their players on the move” said Haruka.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Shuko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“You should count on him when he’s going to have his skills being improved because he’s about to fire up on his own game!” said Hideko.
“Yeah, we will, Hideko-san!” said Shuko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“Thanks for your sharing, Hideko-san! I knew that your brother will finally get his chance to prove it to make sure that he’s not giving up just for you!” said Emiko.
“Yeah, you’re welcome!” said Hideko.
“After Hideko, it’s time to move on to another person to share a topic as this time, it’s going to be Himeno” said Emiko.
“Now, show what you will share for us” said Mariko.
“Okay!” said Himeno as she’s going to share her own topic to everyone. “As a friend and rival of Karin, I want to be more confident to stay close to her as Karin had been more determined to show her determined and passionate personality to make sure that she had impressed everyone. Of course, when Karin and I were used to work in the same agency, we made several challenges for our reputation, thus, we have our own friendly competitions to take up with as we traded wins one by one and even, we became school idols by the time we entered high school. In my opinion, Karin is such a good friend to me because I had admired her through her sexiness and smile when she took her debut as a model and then, when she performed as a school idol, I finally got myself into this point that I want to praise her. It feels great to have a friendly rivalry with someone who’s sexier and passionate.”
“I’m surprised that you have shared something about me, Himeno. I’m very confident that you wanted to get closer to at all” said Karin.
“Yes, of course, Karin-san. You’re a good model and school idol, which means that I have impressed you with your performance being paid off, especially that you and your fellow friends from NijiGaku have put up a wonderful show to thrill with” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I agree, Himeno” said Karin while nodding her face in agreement. “It’s so nice that you have been able to show your determination that you’ll praise me, but even we’re rivals in the first place, we’re still friends at all.”
“Yep! I’m cherished with your words of wisdom, Karin! I guess that you and I will be working hard as models and school idols!” said Himeno.
“Yeah, of course!” said Karin while giving Himeno a smile on her face.
“Well, I’m glad that you two have been rivaling against each other, but you have also found your way to become friends with each other!” said Emiko.
“I believe that you two have worked hard in becoming great models and school idols through your ambitions, which means that you’ll have high hopes to show up with” said Marika.
“Whether friends, rivals or not, everyone gets cherished to work hard in doing their best for themselves” said Eriko.
“Yeah, we agree!” said Karin and Himeno.
“So, Himeno-san, how’s your friendly rivalry with Karin?” asked Shuko.
“Did you two found something gleaming to prosper with?” added Hideko.
“Those are good questions to me. For the first question, it turned to be normal, but quite importantly, really intense when it comes to school idol activities” said Himeno.
“Himeno and I have been ambitious to show our skills of becoming models and school idols and we have traded victories with each other. To be honest, Himeno is a good friend and rival for me because she had cherished me when I gotten my first thrill as a model and she had decided to challenge me at any time that she wants. Of course, I’m feeling determined that she had been a friendly rival for a few years ever since we became school idols” said Karin.
“Then, for the second question, I reflected this rivalry as something that I want to impress because I want to be more confident to catch up with Karin by competing against each other through our skills and of course, it feels great that Karin had always showed her confidence to make sure that she can do whatever she wants, which I finally realized that I can do this for myself” said Himeno.
“We became close with each other after all since we’re rivals, but we can’t always catching up tongues against each other because we’re more determined to line up with our dreams to make and hopefully, we’ll be able to show ourselves to believe and shine. That’s what the secret of confidence for the two of us that we made to become friends together” said Karin.
“Wow! Those answers have made me inspired!” said Shuko.
“I can’t believe that you two have been doing great right now!” said Hideko.
“I say that you two have been able to prove themselves that you’ll gleam and shine with your auras that have been made” said Wakana.
“Which means that friendly rivalries aren’t just for competition to take up with, but to show that a friendship is needed whether you love it or hate it” said Mayuko.
“Yeah!” said Karin and Himeno.
“Since we’re working together like the way we used to be, we should not let ourselves down even we have the same level that we gotten ourselves with” said Himeno.
“Our friendly rivalry will not end at any time soon, but we’re still bonded with our friendship that we made” said Karin.
“You girls should be more cherished when you have found themselves into a competition with someone else, but someday, it will become friendlier than you’ll expect” said Himeno.
“That’s why you have to keep your respect to each other if you want to prove yourself to shine. That’s what you need to prevent letting yourself down after all. Just smile and be determined to do your best” said Karin.
“Yeah, we will do it, girls!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana and Mayuko.
“That’s good! I hope that you’ll learn your lesson about friends and rivals” said Himeno.
“Because it’s what school idols used to overcome the challenges that we made to make us thrilled” said Karin.
“Yeah!” said Shuko, Hideko, Wakana and Mayuko.
“Now that almost everyone had done sharing about their own topics, it’s time for me to share my own topic that you’re gonna witness” said Emiko.
“Yeah!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno while Marika, Emiko and their friends gave Emiko a smile without saying a word.
“Okay!” replied Emiko as she’s going to share her own topic to everyone. “For the last person to share the ‘Around the Colors of the Rainbow’ activity, I’ll be sharing about my desire of being a braveheart. I had been very charismatic to be a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō ever since I became one of the first members of that group because I had admired and inspired everyone who have dreamt themselves to innovate and shine for their blessings to be made. Of course, I had been thinking about the desire that I made because I want to show my pride, courage and willpower to my friends on my side including those from the Vivid Blue Phoenix, led by Hiyori Inukai, to make sure that they’re going to count on me on my future, thus, they have decided to follow my journey and get involved with me to bless my community. I have been very happy to see them counting on me through their compassionated hearts and so, they’ll be ready to motivate themselves to gleam and shine with me for a brighter future in my hometown. Hopefully, we’re gonna do our best to prosper everyone with some fantastic activities to make as I want to see them showing their smiles to make themselves grateful.”
“Oh, wow! I’m so intrigued that you had a lot of ambitions that you have, Emiko!” said Himeno.
“You must be very brave that you have represented for the Bravehearts of Kōtō, which means that you’re more prestigious to bless with them!” said Haruka.
“Yep!” said Emiko while giving Haruka and Himeno a smile. “I have been friends with Kotoko, Marika and Eriko when we used to play basketball together the first time back in elementary school. This made me feel confident that I want to start making friends with anyone who is special to me and so, they finally got their blessings to get along with me any time. When I became a member of the Funahashi Elementary School girls’ basketball team, I took a new direction to start assembling my own set of friends, so that they’re going to support me on my basketball career, which results to the creation of the Vivid Blue Phoenix. The Phoenix, in short, are more prospered to show their pride for me when I’m stepping up for Funahashi because they know that they want me to shine with one moment, which I can always give them what they want. A lot of good times happened when I got along with the Phoenix and we became closer together. I hope that it will continue to keep it up because I’m always here to cheer and smile for anyone.”
“Of course, you are, Emiko! You’re very strong and prestigious to make friends with everyone on your side” said Himeno.
“You even started to support school idols like us when we’re performing in the center stage to gleam and shine” said Haruka.
“Remember when we performed together before our NijiGaku days? You have inspired us with your smile that I can’t miss for long!” said Karin.
“It’s so nice that you have been admired by everyone including us because you’re very confident to show some pride to represent for everyone in your community” said Kanata.
“And since you’re a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō, you’re very recognized by the community that you’re going to give them some blessings that they want to get!” said Emma.
“Yes, I agree! I’m always keeping promises to everyone to make sure that they’ll groom me to believe and inspire. It’s so nice that I have found friends like you to make sure that you’re going to cheer for me and of course, I’m grateful with that!” said Emiko.
“Yeah, of course!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“It’s so nice that we have seen you playing with your auras to shine in the court!” said Karin.
“You have also helped your friends to bloom and shine with your dreams that you have!” said Kanata.
“Even you wanted to convince them to empower to be like you!” said Emma.
“You’re a good braveheart that you have worked hard to make sure that you’ll make them feel good, which makes Haruka-san so happy that you have blessings right now” said Haruka.
“I believe that you should go for it to bloom and shine for more to make your community prospering with more blessings to come” said Himeno.
“Yeah, I will, girls! I will never let everyone down!” said Emiko.
“Yes, you will!” said Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
Emiko would continue explaining about her desire as a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. “On the other hand, as the expansion of the Bravehearts of Kōtō continues, my group, the Vivid Blue Phoenix, will expect to start their process of welcoming new allies to take part of my circle of friends, which will be known as the Vivid Parade. It was inspired from a good friend of mine from the Bravehearts of Tachikawa in Shiki Ikemoto when she and her friends from the Ikemoto Charge, led by Shutō Fujita, have formed the Ikemoto Midnight Guild where their friends and allies have joined forces with them to make sure that they’re here to make the difference for the future of themselves. I’m very excited about forming my own circle of friends because not only that I’m leading this group to make my friends and allies shining through their auras, but also, to make my hometown growing harmoniously with hopes and dreams to be created.” Shiki Ikemoto is a first year middle school student from the Kurotori Gakuen Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Tachikawa. She’s resembled to Saki Nagatsuka.
“That’s a good desire that you have, Emiko-chan! I’m so happy that you’re going to have that plan coming!” said Karin.
“You’re looking confident that you’ll have more friends and allies to support you!” said Kanata.
“This means that you’ll finally have an opportunity to collaborate with them for future activities to shine your community!” said Emma.
“Yes, I am, girls!” said Emiko while giving Karin, Kanata and Emma a smile before explaining about her goal of creating a circle of friends for her. “It’s so nice that I want to build a circle of friends that will be represented by me because I always believe in them through their confidence and it’s going to be fantastic that I’ll be ready to team up with them to make bigger plans to bloom and shine. I’m sure that this is already my dream plan that I didn’t reveal too quickly, but I’m thrilled to get into this!”
“Yes, you are! I’m so excited that you’re going to show your circle of friends to us when it’s done!” said Karin.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to make us thrilled with your activities to make in the future, which makes Kanata-chan feeling happy to see you showing your pride and compassion to shine with!” said Kanata.
“I’m sure that you’ll be ready to work with them to make sure that they’re ready to make your community blooming like the other groups have used to, Emiko-chan!” said Emma.
“You should be more thrilled to get along with your friends because they have trusted you all along” said Haruka.
“Of course, you’ll be counting on them to make them feel comfortable to work with you as a team” said Himeno.
“Yes, I agree, girls! I have worked with my fellow bravehearts to gleam and shine the ward of Kōtō through our activities that we made, but hopefully, I’ll do the same thing for my friends on my side because they’re generally motivated to bloom and shine with me at all!” said Emiko.
“That’s right, Emiko-san! You’re a true and generous member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō since we have worked together to gleam and shine Kōtō with our auras!” said Marika.
“You made everyone feel thrilled with your smiles and so, you should be ready to count on them at any time that you want!” said Eriko.
“It will be amazing that you’re going to lead your own circle of friends to make better hopes and dreams for them” said Shuko.
“You’ll have to show some pride and compassion if you want to prosper everyone in your community because you have been inspired by them” said Hideko.
“I say that you’ll go for it because you’re always motivated to show your rainbow heart!” said Wakana.
“That will make you feel better to step up and shine like Marika, Eriko and the Bravehearts of Kōtō have used to!” said Mayuko.
“Everyone will continue to inspire you once you have groomed them to be blessed and inspired through your representation to make sure that they’ll always be here for you” said Yuko.
“After all, we’re all here to bless and inspire through our auras that we made for a better future. Right, Eriko?” said Nanako.
“Yeah, you got it, girls! I’m going to be more confident to gleam and shine and we’ll always work together as one family of bravehearts for the better future of our hometown!” said Emiko.
“Yeah!” said Marika, Eriko, Shuko, Hideko, Wakana, Mayuko, Yuko and Nanako.
“It’s so nice that everyone had shared our own topics to make it more blooming and harmonious, girls!” said Emma.
“Things have been shining when everyone including Kanata-chan have showed some pride and compassion to make each other feeling thrilled with smiles and joys coming out!” said Kanata.
“Yeah, I agree, Kanata! This activity had been very blooming from the start until the end and of course, we’ll never forget those in our rainbow hearts because it’s all about the hopes and dreams that we made for everyone in Kōtō” said Eriko.
“The more that we talked about the topics that we didn’t witness before, the better that we have a lot of discoveries to gleam before our very eyes” said Marika.
“We can do this again the next time if we can share more about our secrets to bloom and shine, so that we’ll be able to prosper those through our rainbow hearts” said Emiko.
“Of course, Emiko-chan! It’s going to be fantastic that we’re going to share our own topics that we haven’t seen before again because it will make all of us being surprised and thrilled to witness those through our eyes and we’ll cherish them in the end. Right, girls?” said Karin.
“Yeah!” said Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno.
“Now that this activity is done, I think that it’s time to have some fun outside and enjoy our day together!” said Emiko.
“You got it, Emiko-chan! Now, let’s believe and shine through our compassion together outside!” said Karin.
“Yeah!” said Kanata, Emma, Haruka, Himeno, Marika, Eriko and the members of the Vivid Blue Phoenix as they alongside Karin and Emiko are going outside to have some fun activities there to enjoy the rest of the day. Karin, Kanata, Emma, Haruka and Himeno have been able to give Emiko, Marika and Eriko their thrills when they met them at the Kishida Residence for the first time since the formation of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club to start their friendship between each other. Karin and Emiko have been known with each other ever since Emiko had impressed Karin on her performance when the latter was with the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, thus, they become friends together. It’s amazing that they have gotten along with each other when they alongside their friends have shared their topics that aren’t known before and so, they have cherished themselves to make sure that their friendship will continue to develop as they’re expecting to work together in the future to make the ward of Kōtō blooming and harmonious through their rainbow hearts.
