"Next up, it will be the fan influence of Dia Kurosawa, which is currently situated in the wards of Urawa, Midori and Iwatsuki" said Yuta.

"Yes, sir! As you can see, in our hometown, we have that influence through one of our fellow groupmates in Shima Tsuzawa, who had been inspiring her through her leadership and ambition that she stepped up as a former student council president" said Daizo.

"Of course, she's currently the vice president of the student's association, led by Arinobu Koganei, while enjoying her friendship with her fellow friends from the Vermillion Rose Battalion, which is composed of her friends on her side under the leadership of Rihona Shibutani" said Masayo.

"While her image color is vermillion, she had stick with her plans that she had groomed up with those that they have followed Dia in our class, which is why she had been friends with Nagomi Hirohashi" said Mikako.

"Where she'll be handling her duties as the chairperson of the Dia Kurosawa Fan Club in Urawa, but of course, she and her fellow comrade Noriko Yanagimoto will be taking charge on the partnership that we settled" said Saika.

"You got it, Saika-san! As a result, we'll be encouraging our friends and allies that they have followed Dia while representing our hometown are eligible to be part of the White Azalea Arsenal Saitama" said Hisae.

"This is where they're going to host some seminars that they're going to engage our community while bringing themselves to bring the harmony and serenity through side activities to impress Dia" said Seigo.

"Of course, since she's no longer a school idol having graduated from Uranohoshi last year, she'll still be more motivated to groom us to ensure that she'll be more compassionated to believe and shine like she had done for Aqours. Hopefully, we'll still keeping an eye on her because she's still helping her fellow school idols to progress their way to the next level with their future is about to get even brighter for them" said Shima.

"Wow! I'm surprised that they have that fan club still existing even after Dia had graduated, which was very nice to see!" said Aira.

"Hey, I'll be grateful that my friends on my side will about to join that group because in our community, we have a lot of friends that they have been very passionate to follow Dia and now that she had finished her school idol career recently, I hope that they'll still be inspiring her as she's starting her own pace of becoming an idol for sure!" said Mahine.

"That would be stupendous that she's going to work it out because one way or another, she'll always be more determined to shout out and smile like her fellow club members did!" said Saya.

"It will never be the end of her as she had showed her way to fascinate everyone through her rainbow heart and I hope that she'll continue developing her way to bloom everyone like she'll never miss the thrills that she had prospered for her fans" said Emi.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Bravehearts of Saitama.

"Earlier, we talked to Masamune Horikoshi, the leader of the Bravehearts of Midori (Saitama), about the plans that he had worked on and he said that he's going to bring the borders to expand the friendship with Dia by collaborating with those that they have followed her including Shima. And so, this will be grateful that they'll be building up some wonderful activities that will fascinate with one another to let them fly!" said Kotoko.

"Yep! The Bravehearts of Saitama and the Bravehearts of Midori (Saitama) have a history of mutual friendship with one another as we have strived our dreams of trying to bring the fascination and beautification of our city through brilliant ideas that we can shine them up" said Nanami.

"And so, it will be wonderful that we're going to have monthly camps for both groups, but we'll also be inviting those that they're associated to Dia because Dia had usually liked to go camping with her friends, especially for her relatives that she had in Numazu" said Ryōko.

"And of course, we wish that we could make her thrilled to be part of our activities in the future if she's not very busy with her school stuff in college where she had used to team up with her fellow friends either from her own side or Aqours" said Marika.

"You got that right, Marika-san! I'll be very fascinated for her to come to our activities, but let our fingers crossed on this if we have found our opportunity to get along with her to ensure that she'll never be backed down on us like the way we believe, gleam and shine for her!" said Shima.

"At the moment, it's going to be a long-term plan that we're going to resonate through if this one approves by everyone in our society, especially for the passionate fans of Dia in our city because we're going to make some noise that we'll be thrilling on to make her prouder than usual!" said Kōya.

"And as for new groups, we'll be ready to groom them when we'll be starting to connect with one another to ensure that they'll be very ecstatic to count on us for future ventures that we would be grooming with!" said Kazane.

"Yes, it will be! We'll be telling you more about this once Masamune will be providing us some updates on the collaborative plans that we'll be cooking because this is going to be wild to watch out for!" said Yuta.

"Yeah!" said the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama and the members of the Bravehearts of Saitama.

"I'll be fascinated to watch out on that because most of us are very passionate to have idols that we inspired and here in the city of Saitama, there are some that they have followed Aqours while others rooted for other school idol groups such as NijiGaku and Liella!" said Ayaka.

"We'll be assured that we're going to have a lot of thrills that we'll be putting up through our own goals that we can let them fly to ensure that we'll be giving them the thrills that they'll shine all the way!" said Yūko.

"I agree with that! When these things are about to get exploded, we're going to make them cherished that they'll be stepping up for us while aiming to shout out and fly with us for our future to get even brighter as usual" said Mayumi.

"It's definitely going to be marvelous that we'll have those plans to be pushed through to ensure that we'll be very delighted to give them something that they'll count along and hopefully, we'll keep harmonizing our community just like the previous activities that we made" said Saika.

"We'll be definitely gonna watch out on what they'll be shining on because two worlds will open up for brighter future to fascinate to ensure that our community will always be prospered and harmonized through our rainbow hearts that we thrilled!" said Hisae.

"Yeah, I agree with that, girls! That's what exactly what we wanted to see to ensure that we'll be blooming together to make everyone cherished and compassionated as it would be!" said Aira.

"There will be a lot of thrills that we're going to let them cook because once we have adopted our plans, we'll execute those to ensure that we'll be shining them up to surprise everyone like the way we have used to harmonize them!" said Mahine.

"Yes, indeed! Our hometown will expect to be bigger than we'll ever witness now that we have more groups to create and more new members to join and what I tell you about what they'll be wishing for a new chapter, it will be our destiny that we'll be shining through" said Saya.

"As our new plans will about to be more exciting and thrilling, we'll be ready to make some noise to engage our community with more groups and activities to be blooming and shining where it's all about us that we wanted to gleam for them!" said Emi.

"It's definitely gonna be exciting that we'll have those who have followed Dia will be coming out to count on us all the way to ensure that we'll stand up and shine like we have given them some thrills that they'll be enjoyed" said Misaki.

"And by the end of the day, we'll be grateful to have much success that we need to make our city proud!" said Kazusa.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Bravehearts of Saitama.

"Last but not the least, it is a great honor to announce that we'll have common agreements to be settled with the close friends of Emma and Setsuna in bringing the fan influence of them into our city. Isn't that awesome, everyone?" said Ayaka.

"Yeah!" said the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama and the members of the Bravehearts of Saitama.

"It's going to be magnificent that we're going to have new special circle groups that will represent for them where anyone who is close to either of them whether he/she is allied to you or not will be delighted to be part of it directly" said Kōya.

"This was done through a meeting with Mitsue Nishigawa and Kazuha Nakazawa where we have started recruiting new members to be part of it to ensure that they'll have privileges to join our group" said Kazane.

"This will be a great opportunity to have them as part of the partnership between us and NijiGaku to bring the harmony, compassion and thrill for us to bloom together in making the future that we'll witness for sure!" said Yuta.

"Yes, indeed! We also coordinated with our fellow bravehearts from every other ward around the city to start bringing on those whether they're directly allied to them or not as long as you have brought some connection to let them fly" said Daizo.

"It will be marvelous that we'll make this one more marvelous that will fascinate together as bravehearts and dreamers that will make us thrilled for collaborative activities in order to keep dreaming and believing for Emma and Setsuna" said Masayo.

"We'll expect to have them being completed in a few days while we'll start monitoring with the rest of Saitama to see if anyone had been on the move to recruit some dreamers to join" said Mikako.

"You're right about that, Mikako-san! One thing that you'll find it very coincidental is that those fans of Emma and Setsuna in our city have been focused in bringing some marvelous ideas that we need in order to keep our city blooming for more, thus, they're interested in convincing our community to step up and empower like the way we have used to" said Ayaka.

"Yes, indeed! Unlike Dia's admirers in our city, those who were very compassionate to be close to both Emma and Setsuna have found their own thrills to motivate everyone as long as they're here to believe, gleam and shine" said Yūko.

"And on top of that, they'll be assured that building a marvelous community in our community will bring us some enlightenment that will make us more comfortable to build partnerships to let them fly" said Mayumi.

"You said it! We also believe that the followers of Emma and Setsuna are the most passionate ones due to their focus in preserving the compassion and enlightenment in our city, especially that they have been relied on community development to create new thrills to shine all the way" said Saika.

"That's why we're gladly excited on this because this will allow us to collaborate with them to ensure that we'll be bringing our smiles and thrills to bloom or community like the way we have never miss!" said Hisae.

"Yeah!" said the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama and the members of the Bravehearts of Saitama.

"We'll be gladly appreciated on who will be hunting to be part of your community that will uplift your lives in a Tokimeki way!" said Kotoko.

"For the ward of Sakura, we'll be picking up Asahi Isaka and Yurika Maeno to be part of our group. They have already informed me about joining the Bravehearts of Sakura since they have been very interested to work with my fellow braveheart Tomari Tomioka" said Aira.

"We're expecting to welcome Shima Inomata and Kirara Kawamura to become new members our Bravehearts of Yono because I have befriended them as childhood friends and I could use them to become my partners-in-crime for the recruitment system in our group" said Mahine.

"In the ward of Minami, it's going to be Kazuho Aoyagi and Sana Furusawa where they'll be coming out to take part of our future plans for the Project Luminous, a recruitment plan where we'll expect to welcome our new members from day to day whether they're here to count on our dreams or empower through the power of friendship" said Saya.

"Those names are very interesting to see what you have planned on, girls! I'm surprised that they must have followed your dreams like it's just their time to show their true colors of being dreamers in the block!" said Ayaka.

"We're very thrilled that we're going to include them to ensure that they'll be very ecstatic to shout out and smile with us in making our community being bloomed with new members coming out to dive, gleam and smile!" said Yūko.

"It's definitely going to be fascinating that these people will be ready to step up through their auras that they have showed to ensure that they'll be ready to believe, gleam and smile for their thrills to be prospered and harmonized all the way" said Mayumi.

"We'll be assured that we're going to make them feel determined that they're here to shout out and smile to engage with one another while making their experience being full of harmony and prosperity that they'll get!" said Saika.

"I'll be grateful that they're about to make some noise to empower our community because when they're ready to believe, resonate and smile, they're about to elevate themselves to cherish everyone as it would be!" said Hisae.

"Yes, indeed! What we have seen in Tokyo where they're letting their thrills fly is what we're going to do the same thing to make everyone in our city coming out to shine all the way!" said Kotoko.

"The more that we have prospered with one another engage ourselves to make everyone cherished, the better that we'll be delighted to count on their dreams that they'll be building through their rainbow hearts" said Nanami.

"That's what we want to see for us in trying to bring the harmony and prosperity to our community that we have bloomed because once we're all here to shine through our rainbow hearts, then, we'll be fascinated that we'll be grooming them like we want to make them delighted" said Shima.

"Of course, we should! I have to say that the partnership with Emma and Setsuna will expect to be blooming to have new members to join, but rest assured, we're going to make sure that this is our time to step up and smile to cherish our community that we cheered for!" said Ryōko.

"This will definitely be amazing that our future is getting brighter that we'll ever gleam for because once it's all in to keep our dreams resonating, we'll prosper them to shout out and dive for all" said Mariko.

"I have to say that this will definitely be our chance to let our smiles bloom and shine for us to keep believing and we'll be grateful that we're going to prove ourselves that we'll be counting on everyone that they'll ever expect!" said Seigo.

"You said it! The future of our community is in our hands for us to start dreaming and shining, but we'll be very confident that we're going to show ourselves to cherish everyone like the way we'll ever bloom as one!" said Arisa.

UP NEXT: Profile of the Bravehearts of Saitama

 

[Sherwin Riga]

The city of Saitama has 10 braveheart groups, which every ward had their own representation with their colorful dreams and marvelous smiles to shout out and shine together as one. The main player of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama is the Bravehearts of Saitama as they're very known for community empowerment to cater the youth in building stupendous partnerships around the ward of Urawa to embrace the thrills and to shine all the way to cherish and fascinate in a blooming way. So, here is the profile of the Bravehearts of Saitama as they'll become the first braveheart group coming from Saitama Prefecture and thirty-fourth overall since the introduction of the Bravehearts of Ōta. They're definitely one of the leading braveheart groups in the city of Saitama as they focused on building empowerment to satisfy the youth while fascinating the entire community through brilliant ideas that surprised everyone. They have also been ambitious of building a perfect community to convince everyone to get engaged and fascinated in making the city of Saitama being prospered to create the future that they'll make. It is led by Kōya Inomata, who came from an athletic family in the field of basketball through his father Kenichirō Inomata, and they have used to excel in both academic and sports to ensure that they're getting scholarship for college. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that the Bravehearts of Saitama have been very close to Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, thus, they have started to create some marvelous dreams to gleam, fascinate and shine the city of Saitama in exchange of inviting the dreamers that they have been ambitioned of becoming bravehearts while following the school idol career of Emma to that braveheart group. I have also added the profile of the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama, but, it is expected to be updated with the full information to be completed if I have free time to focus on that in the future. The leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama are more focused on bringing the harmony and prosperity to cherish, gleam and thrill their friends and allies and to get the dreams that they built for the city.

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 291: "From A Marvelous Dream to A Better Community for the Compassion and Thrill of the Dreamers of Ōta"

The harmony and prosperity have been prevailed to see the Bravehearts of Saitama showing their plans that will bloom, gleam and shine in the city of Saitama as their partnership with various individuals and groups are very interesting and fascinating to witness where they're about to work together to empower everyone through their rainbow hearts that they'll be throbbing in a marvelous way. They have been very determined that they're bringing the pride, compassion and thrill to everyone by showing their smiles to satisfy them and they'll be assured that they're going to put up their own show that they'll never forget! You'll also be surprised to see them building some special circle groups that will represent for school idols from Love Live! School Idol Project series such as Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide) and Setsuna Yūki (CV. Coco Hayashi) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Dia Kurosawa (CV. Arisa Komiya) of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!! as they're aiming to bring their smiles to let them fly while creating their own dreams for their community, thus, they'll be assured that they're going to shine together to make the school idols proud for their dreams to be fulfilled. They're always coming out to shine through their marvelous smiles that they made themselves motivated and they'll be assured that they're going to cherish their friends and allies by believing in their dreams and sharing their thrills to make themselves compassionated and thrilled. Hopefully, they'll be completing their goals to ensure that they'll be making everyone more cherished to work for their dreams that they'll get and develop their friendship that they'll never miss as this is only just the beginning of their new chapter that will about to gleam and harmonize the city of Saitama! Now, it's been a long time that I have been back to writing new drafts, but it's bit of complicated that I wasn't able to balance it with other stuff because I have other things that I have to handle including my school stuff and so, it affected my time of doing drafts lately as I have addressed that before when I have a hard time in finishing all of those. That's why I decided to move the schedule of this update from late December, which was supposedly the expected tentative day that I would have scheduled, to mid-January as I have been very busy with my activities around my family over the last two weeks and I felt bad that I wasn't able to mitigate it as expected. Also, I have decided that I have to make my own work schedule to settle it done as I'm only gonna do some Basketball GM (BBGM) stuff on a limited time basis not until 1:00 in the afternoon to ensure that I'll balance it with other things that I could do for the day. Also, I decided to plan on doing some outputs as early as possible to ensure that I'll be able to ease out in finishing those before the deadline itself. Lastly, I need to monitor my time management to ensure that I'll be able to focus on finishing new drafts as soon as I have done working on those properly. My only concern is that I need to do the seiyu updates quickly because I'm almost done with the seiyus of Love Live! School Idol Project series with Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club from Link! Like! Love Live! being the remaining school idol group that I haven't checked out at the moment before moving on to the next set of seiyus to be updated. Of course, I'll be talking about what the next update would be at the moment because I have some other things that I'll announce regarding the upcoming schedule to catch up onto the Year of the Emeralds and Peaches, which will be kicked off in a few months. I hope that you're all excited about this because I'll be discussing about what will happen for this before and the forthcoming weeks!

Now, after this update, I'll be posting two more updates to finish Side Melody as the expected tentative date to finish is by around January 21 (Sunday) or 22 (Monday) because I'm expecting to post two updates related to Side Sunrise for its first part on January 24 (Wednesday) and 27 (Saturday). This means, I'll expecting to post those once I'm done with Side Melody as soon as I'm good enough to finish the drafts within this week. Of course, I have planned on reserving the month of February for Side Vernal and Side Queendom as well as the first update featuring Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club on its first anniversary of their formation on February 10 (Saturday), which means that I have to think carefully on what to adjust in order to make my work time in drafts more seamless as possible. Another thing that you should know is that the mini-updates that I posted earlier this month in preparation for the Year of the Emeralds and Peaches will expect to feature their names in Side Vernal (February) and Side Toydoll (April) and so, you'll about to excite yourself to see them for the first time if I have already got some ideas for the future updates on those sections. It's definitely gonna be exciting to see what's going to be big for Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts to expand more, but hopefully, I'll be thrilled to post those to ensure that you'll never miss them like I have been working hard to keep this series alive while still studying in online school. So, fingers crossed on this because this is definitely gonna excite you more than it would be! Anyway, as we're moving on to the next update, it will be focused on the Marvelous Rainbow as they're going to hold a general election to determine the first set of officers as well as on who will be stepping up for them. I wanted to something different other than talking about the future plans, but this one will be focused on assembling a special circle group while aiming to prosper and shine their community in the ward of Ōta through their own ideas that they'll create. This is part of trying to do an overhaul in the organizational structure of the Bravehearts of Ōta by following the same format with the Bravehearts of Minato and its neighboring areas, which means that things are about to get different on what it will be looked like as they're trying to make their next steps in expanding their group by welcoming their close friends to cherish, gleam and thrill. I wanted to make sure that it will be on line with the other braveheart groups that they built while continuing the admiration on the idols whether full-time or still in school. I'm sure that you're about to take a glimpse on what's going to be looked like for the special circle groups in the ward of Ōta with the Marvelous Rainbow being the first of the special circle groups to be formed during the final day of the Fuchsia and Celadon Week and so, get ready to shout out and dive through your smiles that you'll never back down to ensure that you'll make them cherished like the other bravehearts have used to believe, gleam and shine! I'll see you on January 18 (Thursday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

A few days later, when they have started their expansion to add new members and groups, they have a big plan in trying to resonate their community more than just a blooming day. This is where they have agreed to collaborate with us and Aqours to welcome dreamers that they have been bounded to be with us or them, thus, it had been very stupendous that they're about to make some noise to bring their thrills coming out to shine big time. It's definitely gonna be more exciting to call out their friends and allies to shout out and empower with them to bring some magnificent ideas to illuminate their hometown in a dazzling way that you'll expect! Now, when you look at the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama, they have their own 'main' inspiration that they have followed to ensure that they'll be very excited to count on them. For example, Misaki Motoki of the Bravehearts of Ōmiya had become friends with me while being responsible in bringing the fanatism of my sub-unit DiverDiva through the Eclipse Escape Factory, led by Hitomi Takewaki and Saika Iribe. Another one is that Ayaka Sugiyama of the Bravehearts of Saitama and Mahine Shindo of the Bravehearts of Yono have become very close to both Emma Verde and Setsuna Yūki as they have been working with them for fabulous activities that surprised everyone when this is their time to dive, gleam and smile! There are other connections that have been in store between them, Aqours and our school idol club such as Aira Tanabe of the Bravehearts of Sakura with Riko Sakurauchi, Saya Uchidate of Bravehearts of Minami Saitama with Kanata Konoe, Emi Kamiyama of the Bravehearts of Midori (Saitama) with Dia Kurosawa, Himari Aimoto of the Bravehearts of Nishi Saitama with Kanan Matsuura, Kohaku Ikemoto of the Bravehearts of Kita Saitama with Hanamaru Kunikida, Kazusa Nimura of the Bravehearts of Minuma with Kanata's younger sister Haruka Konoe and Yukimi Inose of the Bravehearts of Iwatsuki with Mari Ohara. They have enjoyed their friendship through their thrills that they have put up to bring the fascination and harmony to their communities while convincing everyone to believe in their dreams in their own way that they express their motivation to count on them! Now, this connection would eventually become realized when they meet with one another during the start of the summer break as part of their visit in Tokyo for their first summer vacation. It was a lot of fun that they have meet with one another where they have empowered themselves to strengthen their friendship while making the different to keep thrilling everyone in their own way that they'll always believe, gleam and smile all along. One of my important moments when getting along with those dreamers from the city of Saitama is when me and Ai Miyashita made a spectacular activity to play a game of Virtual Escape Room where we're trying to get out of the room through a maze that might be hard to get you out, but thankfully, it was not that bad when Misaki knew about the escape route so easily, much to our pressure that we wasted. Another thing is that they have used to create sub-groups to represent themselves in continuing to follow our dreams, so that they'll be very thrilled to count on us when it's their time to shine all the way! You'll be surprised to see my close friends in Ōmiya being interested to gleam and dazzle with Misaki and her fellow bravehearts through making some roleplay activities online while those who have been friends with Dia from the wards of Midori and Urawa have been very interested to watch live games that featured the Urawa Red Diamonds, one of the best football clubs in Japan. They can do anything to bring their thrills coming out to life while enjoying themselves through their harmonious smiles that they'll never miss all along! What's even better is that these dreamers from the city of Saitama have made special designed T-shirts to show their loyalty to us when we're performing together in the center stage. That's what you like to see them being fascinated to shout out and smile for us to ensure that they'll be very prospered to dream and shine with us like the stars that aligned together to gleam through. When we have a free talk, I gave them some bountiful advice to ensure that they'll never be forgotten on those an encouragement that they needed as a braveheart and dreamer. I told them 'When you meet your biggest idol, you have to think about their dream that they built for you and of course, you could cherish them by believing in them to ensure that you'll never miss an opportunity to dazzle and shine'. I'm sure that you have remembered those to make them feel comfortable that being bravehearts and dreamers will create a solitude of harmony and generosity to serenade their community while counting them on through marvelous smiles and exciting thrills that they'll await! It's so amazing that this kind of connection had been looked fascinating to witness big influence with one another and we have enjoyed together to ensure that we'll bloom, gleam and shine together in making our friendship being developed as it would be like we have groomed our friends in Odaiba. You'll never be forgotten on their names that they'll be showing up when it's their time to dazzle, gleam and fascinate because they'll be here to cheer for you to make sure that you don't worry about your fate that you stood up all the time and rest assured, they'll be building a wonderful dream just for you! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because you have been thrilled to know about this beautiful connection and so, you'll be very grateful to gleam, dazzle and prosper with them to ensure that they'll fascinate together to prosper their friendship and they'll always be compassionated to believe and shine while energizing everyone for sure! You have been too kind to show your smiles to count on anything that is thrilling and of course, the thrills will never end to make sure that all your dreams will come true beautifully! Until then, I'll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep shining without letting yourself down to believe, everyone!

This means, you'll see something new that you'll take a glimpse with as the Bravehearts of Ōta will about to get even bigger and better, thanks to the adoption of the special circle group system for their members. It's definitely going to be something that I want to make a bigger change because not only that I want to start over for them, but there will be some new things that I want to revamp the whole system for Subaru Hasegawa (CV. Yūki Kaji) and his fellow friends that represented the ward of Ōta. Hopefully, when the month of July comes, I'll try my best to work on this like it's about to be blooming and shining for them to believe, gleam and smile!

SIDE STORY: "RED SECTION STORIES"
CHAPTER 291: "FROM A MARVELOUS DREAM TO A BETTER COMMUNITY FOR THE COMPASSION AND THRILL OF THE DREAMERS OF ŌTA"​

Date: May 9, 2010 (Sunday)

This side chapter is focused on the Marvelous Rainbow as they're going to hold its first general election to elect its first set of officers while contemplating on their next plan as a special circle group being part of the Bravehearts of Ōta.

At the Horikawa Residence, the members of the Marvelous Rainbow are holding a general election to determine who will be leading the way for the group while representing the Bravehearts of Ōta.

"I'm so excited about the general election going to be held for your sub-group, girls! This is the first time that I have participated in this kind of election that is generally different from the student council elections! I'll be fascinated if you're going to elect your own officers to handle the group while representing the Bravehearts of Ōta!" said Yua Mitsubayashi, a close friend of Seika Araya and a new member of the Bravehearts of Ōta through an agreement between Seika and the Bravehearts of Ōta for the recruitment of her friends to the group.

"Yep! Azumi had decided to ask me to organize this because we want to have a productive executive board to make better decisions and plans for our future to grow bigger and we'll expect to bring partnerships with various organizations. It is required for a group to name officers whether voluntary appointment or general election. As you can see, I decided to go with the general election just like how THE IDOLM@STER had used that format to determine the best idol in their industry. Of course, some agencies don't have those because they found it challenging, especially school idols haven't used to organize those as they focused on appointing leaders to engage and lead" said Toshiko.

"You said it, Toshiko! Every sub-group has a set of officers that they named, so that they'll be taking action to make decisions in trying to empower and fascinate our community. We should be more focused in making our group more friendly and productive to create success to satisfy our community" said Riruka.

"Ah, I see that point! I'm sure that we'll have candidates to run for the positions that are open. I can't wait to see their plans that they'll make for later because this is going to be wild!" said Yua.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko and Riruka.

"Oh, I have a question! How did the two of you decided to team up with Izumi to form a new sub-group?" queried Yua.

"Well, I'm glad that you asked for it, Yua!" answered Toshiko. "You see, in the ward of Ōta, it's everyone's decision on who they'll be rooting for, even if it's affiliated to the idols from THE IDOLM@STER, however, there are a few names that they have been very close to those from Love Live! such as Saki Nagatsuka being close to Umi Sonoda and Mimi Balguerie to Kotori Minami. To be honest, most of their members have been friends with 346 Production with the exception of Saki, Airi, Hinata, Kagetsu, Mimi and Masami, who have used to be associated with µ's, which means that it's everyone's loyalty on their idols that they loved."

"That's true, Toshiko! When we found out that Izumi had been friends with Setsuna Yūki, we decided to have an agreement that we'll be working together to spread the influence on the friendship between the Bravehearts of Ōta and Setsuna as our hometown has the most followers on her, next to Shizuku and Shioriko" said Riruka.

"Exactly! I'm very compassionated that I wanted to get along with friends that they have admired me or being close to Setsuna because I'm everywhere to cherish and thrill with them to ensure that they'll be happy to get along with me to keep our smiles thrilling in a marvelous way. That's why I have joined the Bravehearts of Ōta to work with both Toshiko and Riruka because I found out that they're very associated to Tomoka while they have their own ideas that they dreamt with, especially that they're associated to both Amana and Tenka Ōsaki of Alstroemeria. What I'm fascinated is that they have also become friends with NijiGaku due to Shizuku, thus, I could make an opportunity to work on our own ideas to let them fly. It's so nice that I can finally start working with the dreamers that will carry their dreams to my community and so, this is going to be more exciting just like how the others did to ensure that they'll be finding happiness that they'll get!" said Izumi.

"Wow! That's so amazing! I'm surprised that you have been friends with them because not only that they have been influenced with their idols, but they're also determined to connect with their friends that they shined with! I have the same thing when me and Seika have been friends with Kasumi because she's definitely cute and ecstatic to gleam and shine while giving us good vibes that I can count on it! I say that we have found our own thrills to worship idols to ensure that they'll be here to count on you like they'll never miss the thrills all day!" said Yua.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"While Izumi had her own set of friends that they have been very close to Setsuna in our hometown, the two of us have created our very own connection circles to represent us, though, we wanted to cater our closed ones to be part of the Bravehearts of Ōta through the Marvelous Rainbow" said Toshiko.

"Yep! We invited our close friends on our side such as Ayame Kusakabe, Shiki Nagatomo, Tamako Kiyonari, Takako Ishimura, Miyako Sasakawa, Fumiko Yoneyama, Mizuho Hirata, Hatsumi Sugita and Azuki Hayakawa to be part of our own special circle group where we'll be building our friendship that we would let them fly and we'll be developing ourselves to step up and shine through our rainbow hearts" said Riruka.

"Now that we have the Marvelous Rainbow, we can start creating our dreams that we want to fascinate our hometown and deliver some fabulous thrills that they'll never miss!" said Izumi.

"That's definitely stupendous that you have been together as a group! What's very important that we're going to build our own representation to ensure that we'll be shining together for our community to get empowered and thrilled for sure!" said Yua.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"With this group being good to go, we'll start the general elections right away!" said Toshiko.

"Everyone is now here!" said Riruka.

"We better get this over with to ensure that we'll have our own thrills to bloom, gleam and shine!" said Izumi.

"Yeah, you got it!" said Yua.

A few minutes later, the members of the Marvelous Rainbow are all present for the general election where Azumi will be presiding as the host while Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi are co-presenters.

"Welcome, everyone, to the general election of the Marvelous Rainbow! This is where we're going to determine the first set of officers that will be voted by you! It will about to take a big step of building new partnerships with various groups to ensure that we'll be blooming and harmonizing our community as it would be! I'm sure that you're all excited into this because this will about to begin!" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Marvelous Rainbow.

"Now, the Marvelous Rainbow has been created with the merger of two groups: the Magenta and Lavender Diamond and the Plum Red Aria while joining alongside the Pink and Plum-Section 9 to become a sub-group" said Toshiko.

"The purpose is to create a united and harmonious sub-group that will make our hometown more prospered and bloomed through our own ideas to innovate the ward of Ōta" said Riruka.

"That's right! We're expecting to start making our own dreams that we innovated to ensure that we'll be giving them something to dive and smile! That's why we made this general election to elect our first set of officers that will represent our organization" said Izumi.

"We have a lot of open positions, starting from president up to the board of dreamers and these positions are all up for grasps" said Azumi.

"You said it! We'll be holding the elections for the first positions, which are president, vice president and secretary while the remaining positions will be determined by appointment by the president" said Toshiko.

"So, I hope that we're going to have a fair general election to ensure that we'll be accepting the results without any incident occurred" said Riruka.

"May the best dreamer win!" said Izumi.

"Now, let's start with the position of president" said Azumi.

"We're opening the position of president, which will have privileges of making decisions and organizing future activities while embracing partnerships to cherish, gleam and thrill everyone" said Toshiko.

"Yep! We'll be expecting to see some familiar names that we'll be called before we'll decide on who will be leading our Marvelous Rainbow" said Toshiko.

"You said it! So, who wants to nominate?" replied Izumi.

"Oh, don't be shy! We're here to groom you!" added Azumi.

"It's an interactive activity, everyone!" said Toshiko.

"Just call someone to step up!" said Riruka.

Masami would raise her hand as she finally got someone to nominate for president.

"Yes, Masami, who are you going to nominate?" asked Azumi.

"I nominated Yurie Shiraishi for president!" answered Masami Sugiura, the cousin of Setsuna Yūki.

"Alright, it looks like Yurie's name has been called!" said Toshiko.

"Come out to the center stage, Yurie!" said Riruka.

Yurie would stand up from her seat as she was called out by Toshiko and Riruka before making way to stand alongside them.

"Who wants to nominate?" asked Azumi.

Toshiki would raise his hand as he's about to name a nominee for president.

"Let's hear it from Toshiki!" said Izumi.

"I'm nominating Hotaru Tatsumori!" replied Toshiki.

"Oh, this is going to be interesting!" said Toshiko.

"Yep! One of the groups that have been allied to our Marvelous Rainbow has been nominated president!" said Riruka.

"You bet! Someone is going to be step up from the associates group because they can also lead in their own way!" said Izumi.

"True. Now, who gets the nod to nominate?" answered Azumi.

Ayame would raise her hand as she's coming up in her mind on who will be nominating for.

"Oh, yes, Ayame-san! Who do you think you'll nominate?" queried Toshiko.

"I'm picking Tokuro Hagiuda to be the president" said answered Ayame. Tokuro Hagiuda is a close friend of Toshiko Horikawa and a first year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School.

"Wow! We have a male candidate coming out to get nominated! I see you!" said Toshiko.

"Come in to us, Tokuro!" said Riruka.

Tokuro would leave his seat to walk through the center of the room while Yurie and Hotaru greet him.

"Hi, Tokuro!" greeted Yurie and Hotaru.

"Hi, girls!" answered Tokuro.

"Anyone else?" asked Azumi.

Masazumi Yanagita would raise his hands as he's interested to nominate someone. Masazumi is a second year middle school student from the Keishin Academy Middle School and a close friend of Riruka Maruyama.

"Okay, Masazumi, who are you going to nominate?" queried Azumi.

"I'm nominating Shutaro Mitsuhashi for president!" answered Masazumi Yanagita.

"Well, well, well, we have another one being nominated to the position of president!" said Toshiko.

"Yes, indeed! Come to the center stage, Shutaro!" said Riruka as Shutaro would stand up before joining with the other nominees to the center of the stage.

"Anyone else?" asked Azumi before no one else being interested to nominate someone from the group. "Going once? Going twice?"

Tamako would raise her hand as she's about to announce to close the nomination.

"Yes, Tamako! What is your stand?" queried Toshiko.

"I'm closing the nomination for president!" replied Tamako.

"Well, then, let's close the nomination for president, so that we'll be moving on to the voting period!" said Toshiko.

"You bet!" said Riruka.

 

[Sherwin Riga]

At the center stage, Yurie, Hotaru, Tokuro and Shutaro are very pumped up for the position of president as they're not getting pressured at the moment.

"Now, let's vote!" said Azumi as she's announcing the voting period begin. "You got a piece of paper before you. You have to name your nominee to be your president."

"Yep! You have 30 seconds to select your nominee before we'll finalize the results" said Toshiko.

"Every vote counts per one person. So, no duplication of votes!" said Riruka.

"Just vote wisely!" said Izumi.

The members of the Marvelous Rainbow would write their names in the papers before dropping them down to the secret magenta-colored ballot.

"Okay, this is going to be interesting to see who will be the new president of the Marvelous Rainbow" said Azumi.

"Yes, indeed! Those four candidates have been qualified to become candidates for the position of president, but only one will about to take the spot" said Toshiko.

"Yep! I'm sure that they'll have someone to pick for president, which will be intriguing to see their choices out there" said Riruka.

Once everyone finishes the voting for president, Izumi would give the papers to the representatives of the Pink and Plum-Section 9 to start counting.

"While we're waiting for the results, all candidates may finally take their seat, but you'll be called out once the results are in. Thank you very much!" said Azumi.

"Now, moving on to the position of vice president" said Toshiko.

"Who's going to be the nominees for that position?" asked Riruka.

The members of the Marvelous Rainbow would write the names of the nominees on who will be their vice president.

"Once again, we'll be announcing the winners of the elections for the three positions once the Pink and Plum-Section 9 has done counting the votes!" said Toshiko.

"That'a right! Your participation is guaranteed when you're coming out to step up and shine with us and hopefully, you'll be grateful that you'll have your dreams to be fulfilled!" said Riruka.

"Yeah!" said Azumi and Izumi.

"And finally, I'm about to open the position of secretary!" said Azumi.

"I like the selections out there because they're definitely deserved to get that position like they're here for help!" said Izumi.

"Yeah!" said Azumi, Toshiko and Riruka.

"Everyone, decide on who will be your secretary of our group!" said Azumi as she asks every member of the Marvelous Rainbow to decide on who will be the secretary of the group.

After a few minutes of counting the votes, Azumi would finally decide on the final results of the general elections as everyone is chatting indistinct on the predictions on who will win the positions of president, vice president and secretary.

"Alright, everyone! I have the results of the elections to determine the winners for the positions of president, vice president and secretary! So, get ready to find out on who will end up becoming one of them!" said Azumi.

The members of the Marvelous Rainbow are looked serious and tense as they're quite uncertain on who will be taking the positions of president, vice president and secretary. Yua was also confident that the results are in after a few minutes being counted where she had been nominated to be the secretary of the group.

Azumi would announce the results of the elections, starting with the position of secretary. "For the position of secretary, this goes to… Naohito Moriyama by the margin of 3 votes!"

The friends of Toshiko are delighted that Naohito will be elected secretary as they have praised him through compliments to ensure that he's finally in to become the newly-elected secretary.

"Wow! There's one high schooler being elected and the other goes to our middle school class!" said Toshiko.

"I bet that this is something fair for all of us because we need terrific leaders that can step up through their compassion" said Riruka.

"That would be amazing that we're going to make them feel ecstatic that they're ready to put their smiles blooming when they're all set to run our group!" said Izumi.

"You bet, girls! But we're down to one more position remaining, which will be for president, and I'm sure that someone will expect to lead our way for our group after we just gathered the results from our friends" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"Here it goes!" said Azumi as she's going to announce the winner of the election for the position of president. "And for the position of president, with the margin of victory of 3 votes, this position goes to… Yurie Shiraishi, representing Izumi's side! Congratulations to the winners!"

Yurie had been very delighted that she had been elected as president of the Marvelous Rainbow after she had received votes from them as well as the other leaders from various groups. Yurie would be joined by both Yukari and Naohito as they're going to become the first set of officers to be elected.

"Now, at this time, the president will be appointing the members for the positions of treasurer, auditor, public information officer and sergeant-at-arms to ensure that they'll be very excited to with the whole board" said Azumi.

"It's definitely going to be marvelous that we're about to witness something of a united executive in our hands to show that they're going to work together in making our community more fascinated than usual" said Riruka.

"Definitely true, Riruka-san! Let's hear it from the president!" said Izumi.

Yurie would be announcing the names to be listed for the positions of treasurer, auditor, public information officer and sergeant-at-arms. She would start with the position of treasurer. "I appoint Noriko Miyamura as treasurer!"

Noriko was flanked by the applause from the friends of Izumi while being called out to be appointed as the new treasurer of the Marvelous Rainbow. Noriko shakes hands with Azumi, Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi before joining with Yurie to stand in.

Yurie would continue speaking on the appointment of the executive board where she's about to name someone to be the new auditor of the Marvelous Rainbow. "I appoint Ayame Kusakabe as auditor!"

Ayame had been jubilant that she was named auditor of the Marvelous Rainbow as she would head into the center stage to meet up with the newly-named officers.

"I appoint Hotaru Tatsumori and Toshiki Murase as co-public relation officers of the group!" declared Yurie as Hotaru and Toshiki were surprised to be called out by Yurie when they're named as co-public relation officers. Hotaru and Toshiki would be thrilled to accept the positions of co-public relation officers while being joined by the rest of the executive board.

"Welcome to the team!" said Yurie.

"Thank you, Yurie-san!" said Hotaru and Toshiki.

"I'm so excited that we're going to work together at the board! This is definitely gonna be cool!" said Yua.

"Yeah, me too!" said Hotaru.

"Of course, indeed! I'm surprised that we were named to the board, which I can't wait that we're going to work on this!" said Toshiki.

"Exactly you're right! Let's build our teamwork together to keep our community dreaming!" said Yua.

"Yeah!" said Hotaru and Toshiki.

Lastly, Yurie would be appointing someone to be the new sergeant-at-arms of the Marvelous Rainbow. "And finally, I appoint Masami Sugiura to be the sergeant-at-arms!"


Masami had been blessed that she would be selected as the new sergeant-at-arms of the Marvelous Rainbow, thus, she makes her way to the center stage to congratulate with her fellow officers.

"And that concludes the general elections, everyone! Once again, congratulations to those who have been named into the executive board!" said Azumi as the members of the Marvelous Rainbow have given the newly-elected officers an applause for their first-ever executive board to be established.

"Now, there's one thing that we're going to complete it because as you can see, we have a surprise plan that we're going to let them fly to name our members for the representation of our group" said Toshiko.

"Yep! Just like how it was assembled by various groups, we're going to put someone to lead the way before being joined by other representatives to ensure that we'll be more fascinated to give them their chance to step up and shine!" said Riruka.

"Exactly! We have two groups that we built as the main players, which are the Magenta and Lavender Diamond and the Plum Red Aria, while the others will be represented as associates. So, in order to make some noise for our community, we'll be appointing someone to lead as the center of attention before followed by the other members" said Izumi.

"You bet! This is exclusively for the close friends that they have been so compassionated to be with Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi, which means that this one will be implemented to ensure that they'll be all in to shout out and shine through their rainbow hearts that they have throbbed!" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"I have a question, girls!" said Toshiki before speaking about the selection of members. "What order would be like?"

"That's a good question" answered Toshiko. "It will be one from yours truly, one from Riruka and one from Seika."

"As a result, the closest friend will be the first in line before being followed by one from one side to another and then, the rest will be determined through our preference that we lined up" said Riruka.

"Yep! On top of that, the close friends of Toshiko and Riruka will be the main ones to get their leadership perks while those from Izumi will do the same thing. So, it will be a sharing of leadership on who will be leading for us as long as we're going to make them thrilled and prospered all the way!" said Izumi.

"That's good to know! I'll look forward into that!" said Toshiki.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"Alright, so who will be the leader of attention in our group?" asked Azumi.

"Well, since I came in first to join the Bravehearts of Ōta, I'll be appointing first as I'll go with Ayame Kusakabe to be the leader of attention" said Toshiko.

"Oh, interesting choice! I'll take that as a yes!" said Riruka.

"Seconded demotion on this!" said Izumi.

"Alright!" replied Azumi before speaking to Ayame. "You're now appointed as the leader of attention for our group!"

"I'm gladly accepting the position, Azumi!" said Ayame.

"There you go! We have the first member to lead our way! It's none other than Ayame Kusakabe!" said Azumi.

"So, who will go next?" asked Riruka.

"I'm taking Takako Ishimura to be the second person in line!" said Ayame.

"That's good! Come out to the center stage, Takako!" said Riruka.

Takako would trade their smiles with Ayame as they'll become the center of attention for the Marvelous Rainbow.

"Anyway, can you tell us who will go next?" asked Toshiko.

"It will be Shiki Nagatomo, who had been very close to you!" said Takako.

"Wonderful choice! I'll be sending her way to the center stage!" said Toshiko as she calls out Shiki to be part of the order of representation.

"Now, we have three to lead our way! Who will go for the next one?" said Riruka.

"I'll go with someone is special to us as a close relative of Shizuku, so I pick Miyako Sasakawa to be the second person in line to lead our group!" said Shiki.

"That's awesome!" said Riruka before speaking to Miyako. "You're in!"

"Well, it's a great honor to be the fourth person to lead the order of representation. I'll be fully committed to help with you! Like what my relative Shizuku said to her fellow club members, let's work together to gleam, prosper and smile!" said Miyako.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"Now, Ayame, who's going to be part of the center of attention to be part of this group?" asked Izumi.

"It will be by order: Tamako Kiyonari, Seiko Komura, Yōko Hagimoto, Asuka Hirasawa, Fumiko Yoneyama, Mizuho Hirata, Hatsumi Sugita and Azuki Hayakawa" said Ayame.

"That's a solid selection out there!" said Izumi.

"Oh, I love it!" said Toshiko.

"I'm definitely calling it!" said Riruka.

"Yeah, just call them out to complete the squad!" said Ayame.

"We'll be very thrilled that we're going to lead together through our smiles!" said Takako.

"Okay!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

The close friends of Toshiko and Riruka have finally been called out to the center stage as they'll be assembling their own sub-group to represent as the Diamond Harbinger Nishina.

"Now that you're all selected in order, I hope that we're going to show our way to step up and shine through our smiles to ensure that we'll be giving everyone the thrills that they'll make themselves cherished and thrilled!" said Toshiko.

"Let's believe, gleam and shine for our plans will be prospered and harmonized in a compassionated way to create a perfect dream community in Ōta!" said Riruka.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Diamond Harbinger Nishina.

"In addition to this, everyone, those who were named will now become full members of the Bravehearts of Ōta! Isn't that awesome?" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Marvelous Rainbow.

"Now, with the Diamond Harbinger Nishina has been established as a sub-group, let's move on to the Plum Red Aria for their order of representation!" said Azumi.

"You bet!" said Izumi while accompanying Yurie to lead the way. "Now, Yurie, who will be leading your way for the Plum Red Aria?"

"It will be composed of Noriko Miyamura, Suzuka Kumazawa, Kazusa Motohashi, Ruri Nishikata, Sachi Takimoto, Rihona Kakumoto, Nako Shinuchi and Asuna Murayama" said Yurie.

"Nice selection of order in your group, Yurie! I'm surprised that you have them all at the same time!" said Izumi.

"Yep! I'm sure that they have been very thrilled to work with you as close friends and so, let's have a wonderful dream to create for our community to keep dreaming and shining! Right, girls?" said Yurie.

"Yeah!" said the close friends of Izumi as they're all first year middle school students from the Keishin Academy Middle School while recently joining the Bravehearts of Ōta through the Marvelous Rainbow.

"And finally, I'll call out Yua Mitsubayashi to determine her own order of representation for her squad known as the Colorful Wave Society" said Azumi.

"You got it, Azumi!" said Toshiko and Riruka before speaking to Yua.

"Now, who will be leading your way for your order of representation?" asked Toshiko.

"Can you show those names?" added Riruka.

"Well, it will be composed of Hiromi Komatsubara, Mizue Honjo, Kotoko Wakatsuki, Minae Okuda, Ayano Tsuchida, Kimiko Momozono, Azuki Kitamura and Fumino Umezawa" said Yua.

"That's a full house of your group that you picked them up! I like it!" said Toshiko.

"This is definitely gonna help them to find new friends that they'll groom as they'll finally become future members of the Bravehearts of Ōta!" said Riruka.

"I hope that they'll be ready to shout out and smile like the way we used where they're going to show their pride and compassion that they'll ever be!" said Izumi.

"Of course, girls! I'm in for me to lead here because not only that I'm a close friend of Seika Araya, I have the blessings that I can let them fly!" said Yua.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"Now, the reason why we're doing this is because we'll be planning to have a general assembly on our own on May 22 (Saturday) as well as the proposition of creating the circle of friends of Toshiko and Riruka" said Azumi.

"Yep! You got that right, Azumi! It's been an honor to announce that we have finally started working on the circle of friends that we'll be building for our future that will about to resonate even better than you'll expect!" said Toshiko.

"We're so excited that this will be our turn to shine after the first members have already been busy working on their own circles of friends, thus, it's going to be awesome that we could do the same thing to adapt our own representation through our marvelous smiles and fabulous thrills that we'll ever take!" said Riruka.

"Yes, indeed! This has been planned a few days ago when we held a stockholder meeting with our fellow friends to ensure that we're start bidding on the extended group system to ensure that we'll be all in to start assembling those to ensure that they'll be ready to step up and fascinate in a Tokimeki way!" said Izumi.

"I agree with you! This will be in line for the celebration of a new era in the ward of Ōta where we wanted to bring some thrills to run along in our community while embracing open arms to shout out and dive. Since we're the first ones to join, it will be an honor that we're going to do our best to keep our dreams gleaming like we're here to cheer for you!" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi.

"What we're going to plan is that we're going to hold a big meeting by May 17 (Monday) to address the progress on the extended group system to ensure that we'll be able to groom everyone to start making their own dreams and bloom through their wonderful smiles that they'll never miss" said Toshiko.

"And then, we'll have to finalize the plans that we have for that circle of friends in the future where we're going to organize some fantastic activities around our community" said Riruka.

"We're expecting to get it done a few days before the general assembly as soon as everyone will be on the same page to accept our plans that we created" said Izumi.

"Hopefully, we'll be expecting to invite you all into this biggest event in our sub-group to ensure that you'll have a lot of smiles and thrills to let them fly in a Tokimeki way!" said Azumi.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Marvelous Rainbow.

"We'll have another meeting in a few days like I said on May 17 (Monday) as we're going to ask everyone on the progress that we have in order to keep our plans being pushed through as long as we're all here to cooperate with one another like the most bravehearts in our group have used to be!" said Azumi.

"You heard it, everyone! You have to start adopting your plans if you want to make your wonderful dreams to be fulfilled because once we'll be having this meeting, I see high hopes on your progress to ensure that we'll be very delighted to get welcomed to our community that will be fully prospered and harmonized in a Tokimeki way!" said Toshiko.

"I'm sure that we're all in the same page to start dreaming that will ever become a reality because we're all here to bloom together to shine our hometown to ensure that we'll be cherishing and thrilling each and every one of you like you'll never miss the thrills dearly!" said Riruka.

"Yeah, I agree with that! We got this one because we're all here to believe, resonate and smile to show that we're going to make something that will surprise everyone through our colorful dreams and colorful smiles and hopefully, we'll get the high hopes that we needed to let them fly!" said Izumi.

"So, are you all ready for this one?" asked Azumi.

"Yeah!" said the members of the Marvelous Rainbow.

"That's super awesome, everyone! Let's start creating our own dreams for our dreams and thrills will always be here to count on us for sure!" said Azumi.

"You got it!" said Toshiko, Riruka, Izumi and the newly-elected officers of the Marvelous Rainbow while the members of the Marvelous Rainbow say "Yeah!" in unison as their dream will about to begin for the Marvelous Rainbow to start blooming their community that they'll make them prospered and thrilled in their own way. The Marvelous Rainbow had finally become integrated to follow the same system as the special circle groups in central Tokyo where they'll be very thrilled to start creating their own dreams to let them fly. Toshiko, Riruka and Izumi have been very excited to start creating their own dreams that they'll never miss as they'll be assured that they're all in to bloom, gleam and shine their hometown through their fabulous and marvelous ideas that they'll ever gleam from the bottom of their rainbow hearts. Hopefully, they'll be very comfortable to exceed their expectations just like the other special circle groups have used to ensure that they'll be finding happiness to cherish and fascinate every friend that they have groomed as the first special circle group to be created in the ward of Ōta.

UP NEXT: Updated Profile of the Marvelous Rainbow

 

[Sherwin Riga]

I have previously posted the profile of the Marvelous Rainbow back in Red Section-Chapter 238: "When It Comes to Cherishment in Ōta, They Always Gleam Through Compassion and Harmony" in May 2023 before I realize that this sub-group needs some overhaul when I found out that they're in line with the similar system used by the Bravehearts of Minato. As a result, this will be a major overhaul to start over with the special circle group system in the Bravehearts of Ōta as part of trying to redesign and reorganize the organizational structure of the Bravehearts of Ōta to follow the same system with the braveheart groups in central Tokyo. So, here is the updated profile of the Marvelous Rainbow as it is now officially a special circle group that is very close to Tomoka Minato (CV.

UP NEXT: A Special Message from Mia Taylor

 

[Sherwin Riga]

A Special Message from Mia Taylor

Hi, everyone! This is Mia Taylor of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'm going to share about the connection circle of Mutsumi Hoshiyama, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing the Hydrangea Dream Section. I'm very thrilled that you came here to bloom, gleam and shine with me after I have shared about Suzumi Yasumoto, a member of the Bravehearts of Inagi because this time, I'll be sharing another connection circle of a member of the Bravehearts of Minato where you'll about to take a glimpse on the connection circle of Mutsumi as she had been very sweet and generous that she had stepped up for me to ensure that she'll be ready to gleam her way to cherish and thrill everyone through her rainbow heart. You have already know about her as she had been part of the Hydrangea Dream Section while grooming her own friends from the Serenity Circle Aquamarine in my appreciation update last month and so, this will be my time to share about her connection circle where you'll about to dive deeper more into her connection with her friends that she had counted on while aiming to believe, resonate and smile for her hometown. This will be my first time to share a connection circle for the year 2024 after the last time that I shared about the connection circle of Naoki Sunama six months ago, which means that it's finally about time to show my smiles and thrills to share this just for you! By the way, for those who don't know about the connection circle, you have already known about this before when most of my fellow club members have shared about the connection circle of some members of the Bravehearts of Minato as the connection circle is a special circle group that is exclusively to Minato and its neighboring areas where one member of the Bravehearts of Minato is connected through friend groups and allies that have been made and how they have developed their friendship with them. It feels great that the members of the Bravehearts of Minato have their own way of connecting friends through their own influence. They have been very compassionated and thrilled to show their smiles and thrills, so that they'll be able to create their future for their community to be grown with prestigious hopes and fantastic dreams. So, I'll be more grateful that you're going to like this one because you're going to witness everything in this postscript message to make sure that you'll be more comfortable to believe and shine while recognizing them with your rainbow heart for sure! At the moment, we're expecting to start building on another set of connection circle coming from the Cherished Compass, which will expect to start next month before moving on to another special circle group that have connections with their own close friends on their side to let them believe, gleam and shine! That's why there will be more members of the Bravehearts of Minato that will have their own connection circle and so, stay tuned for that because me and my fellow club members are ready to show our rainbow hearts to make sure that you'll have the thrills to enjoy just for you! Anyway, Mutsumi has been very known for being friendly to everyone who had found their own dreams to fascinate with as she had been grooming them to ensure that they'll never back themselves down to stay compassionated and thrilled. She had joined the Bravehearts of Minato as a full member of the Hydrangea Dream Section after being an associate for at least three months while I wasn't part of NijiGaku at the moment, however, she had been very expressive of trying to bring the harmony and serenity to everyone in her community as expected because she's so capable of giving them some good vibes to cherish with and to satisfy their friendship greatly. She and her friends from the Serenity Circle Aquamarine, led by Asahi Sugawara, is definitely five-star to me as they have bonded with one another to bloom together with their colorful smiles from the inside. They have used to sing cover songs from their favorite singers, delivering parcels to the clients in their part-time jobs due to them being ambitioned of becoming involved in the business industry and frequently doing fitness sessions in their home. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that Mutsumi and her friends from the Serenity Circle Aquamarine have been very early to go to school at almost 6:00 in the morning due to them being early birds while maintaining their time management that they slept for 6.5-7 hours. I'm very exhilarated when they came out to step up for their community to cherish and thrill through their smiles that they never let each other down and they'll be assured that they're putting up their own show to deliver the fascination and jubilation to them where their thrills will never end to let them fly! On the other hand, she would become friends with Renka Kurosaki, the leader of the New Cerulean Piece and a second year high school student from the international exchange course, because they have been very known of being fascinated into the love on school idols, especially that they have been active in supporting my school idol career. They have used to get along with one another for group dinner once a week, watching Japanese movies that are focused on animation and handling the costumes for special events within their community. You'll also be thrilled that they have been the leaders of their own project known as Project Blue Andromeda as they have laid out their plans in empowering Minato and Odaiba to attract their reputation in different fields such as tourism, culture and sports, thus, they have usually invited by various groups to ensure that they'll be bringing their experience to cherish, gleam and thrill on the events that they'll like without hesitation. You'll be surprised if they're going to organize some big events when they're collaborating together with the Bravehearts of Minato because they'll be very excited to shout out and shine with them once Mutsumi will be finding her way to get her status being upgraded into full member status in the future. Mutsumi had never missed the thrills when she had found her happiness to bloom, gleam and shine with her friends on her side because she can do anything that she wants for them to stay compassionated and thrilled like she's going to keep them thrilling with her smiles to make them delighted for sure! It will be fabulous that you're going to cheer for her when she's representing for the Hydrangea Dream Section because she'll be very optimistic to bloom and smile for everyone that they wanted to believe in her to ensure that she'll be grateful enough to cherish you in a gleaming way that you'll be satisfied with! After Mutsumi, there's one more member of the Hydrangea Dream Section remaining that her connection circle hasn't revealed and so, the next connection circle that the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club that will be sharing is going to be for Yurika Kaida, the younger sister of Nichika Kaida.

A Special Message from Rina Tennōji

Hi, everyone! This is Rina Tennōji of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'm here to share about Riko Natsui, a very good friend of mine and Nina Kurata, one of the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing the Twilight Smile. I'm so excited that you're going to show your smiles to bloom, gleam and shine with because you'll very thrilled to take a glimpse on one of my close friends that have some interesting connection with Rina-chan in Riko Natsui, who had led a group of dreamers that they have been very close to Nina while being passionate to follow my school idol career. You have seen her the first time in one of the updates in Side Connect last month where she had been the leader of the Starstruck Kobushi. You'll about to get to know about her through her personal life, ambitions and dreams that she had cherished, so that you'll be very thrilled to recognize her from the bottom of your rainbow heart! I hope that you'll like this one because you'll about to gleam and shine with me as here comes my sharing about their friendship that made things possible by prospering Minato through their rainbow hearts! Anyway, Riko is very special that she had been passionate to follow school idols as she had been very interested to dream with them, especially that she had been ambitioned of becoming a school idol one day. It became more interesting to see Riko being determined to get along with them to bring her thrills to everyone in a jubilant way. Of course, she had also become friends with me because she had actually admired me on my first live performance through my song 'Dokipipo☆Emotion'. This leads to her starting to set up her own group to represent those that they have been very admired to yours truly. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that she had created her own set of friends on her side known as the Kobushi Moonbird Serenity where she and her best friend Mayuka Izuki have dreamt of creating a prosperous community that will fascinate and harmonize in a Tokimeki way. If you read Red Section-Chapter 287, you'll notice that she had been getting along with her fellow dreamers that they have followed me by bringing their precious smiles to shout out and smile to make me cherished. I have to say that they have enjoyed their friendship with me because they have been fascinated to believe, gleam and smile for me to cherish them and so, they'll be very assured that they're going to create their own dreams that will satisfy me as usual. Sometimes, Riko had been very ambitioned of helping her fellow dreamers to create some magnificent ideas to bloom, gleam and thrill everyone in her community to ensure that it will be a harmonious day that they'll seize a day to gleam and smile for sure! Now, she had been called by Nina Kurata to join the Bravehearts of Minato through the formation of the Starstruck Kobushi with the purpose of bringing the friendship between me and Nina getting developed through various activities to cherish and thrill together to make us satisfied with their colorful smiles from the inside. You'll be very fascinated to see Riko being blessed to be part of the Bravehearts of Minato as she'll be very excited to represent through her pride, compassion and generosity to harmonize everyone by helping them to live up with their dreams and shine together through teambuilding activities. That's what I like to see for her as she had been very determined to believe, gleam and smile when she had finally become a braveheart and dreamer that will bring the fascination to everyone by putting up her own show to make them cherished and thrilled without hesitation that she'll never forget! When it comes her fellow dreamers within the Twilight Smile, she had also helped them working on their brilliant ideas by fascinating them with her own to make sure that it will bring successful results to satisfy her community like the way that her fellow bravehearts have done so far. One of the biggest secrets about Riko is that she had been making some colorful Rina-chan paperboards to attract attention for my school idol career getting improved and I was very surprised that she had been so thrilled that she had fallen in love with these paperboards because she found it fascinated to portray feelings whenever I want to give an expression to satisfy my fellow club members and so, it feels great that Riko had been very thrilled to cherish me through her smile on her face to ensure that she's coming out to believe, resonate and smile while keep believing in my dreams that I brought for everyone, especially to you. Just like my other close friends, Riko had never back down to show some support on me to make sure that she'll be ready to find her happiness that will thrill her and she'll be assured that she'll always be here to believe, gleam and shine alongside those who have been very close to me and Nina. It's definitely gonna be thrilling that you'll be fascinated to cherish, gleam and smile with Riko to ensure that she'll be delighted to cheer for you like she's about to groom your dreams that will turn into a reality in a marvelous way that you'll thrill for! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because it will be great to know about Riko as she had been making her rainbow heart resonating all along and she'll be more fascinated to shout out and smile to ensure that she'll make herself cherished and thrilled you'll never forget as she'll be more generous to believe, resonate and smile in a fascinated way, so that she'll be very compassionated and thrilled to work with her fellow friends for her community to bloom and harmonize for sure! I'm always feeling blessed to see you keeping your blooms and thrills coming to shine for us when we have performed to make yourself compassionated and thrilled and I'll be more comfortable to keep believing in our dreams, so that we'll be giving you the smiles you'll treasure it from the bottom of our rainbow hearts!

[Sherwin Riga]

Hi, everyone! I'm here you some updates on my schedule because tomorrow (January 21) is supposedly be the next update that will be focused on Momo Kashiwada of the Bravehearts of Minato where she'll be getting along with her close friends to talk about their future that they'll be taking a glimpse through, but unfortunately, I was aware about the deadline because I have to post the updates on a free time that I can do except for Sundays and Mondays (with the exception of the first two weeks due to me having issues with the first 'main' update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts in the year 2024), thus, I made some changes on when I'll be posting this next update, thus, the next update, will be moved to January 23 (Tuesday) or 24 (Wednesday). The former will also be the birthday of Kasumi Nakasu (CV. Mayu Sagara) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but the issue is that this one will be a short story with the expectation to get at least 10-12 pages if I'll be able to catch up into it as soon as possible, but with the outputs that are due in a few days, I don't think that I'm gonna make it as far as concerned and so, I decided to make tonight more of a free day to post in Anime-Sharing Forum as a preparation for the next updates for at least 2-3 days, depending on the schedule I can take a free day to go with as long as it shouldn't be on a Sunday or Monday. Of course, this will result to moving Side Sunrise to a later date while making way for Side Vernal to be posted starting next week on January 30 (Tuesday) with a longer preparation being made as soon as I can get some time to write on those for sure. I apologize that I have to sacrifice the next update to a new date in order to give me some time to prepare, but hopefully, I'll try my best to post it on the right time if I have balanced my time properly. Anyway, for tonight, it will be a special day to celebrate as it will be the birthday of Wien Margarete of Liella! from Love Live! Superstar!!, but it's going to be even better as yesterday (January 19) was the fourth anniversary of Love Live! Superstar!!, which it started on January 19, 2020 during the second day of Love Live! Series 9th Anniversary: Love Live! Fes, though, the formation of Liella! was held on September 16, 2020. So, in order to make these celebrations coming out to illuminate, gleam and shine, I'll be posting a special postscript message that will be shared by Wien about her friends that she had groomed while representing the Bravehearts of Yokohama, which is composed of the wards of Naka and Nishi in the city of Yokohama. You'll be surprised that Yuina is from the city of Yokohama, thus, I decided to make the city more focused on Liella!, though, there will be some influence coming from Aqours from Love Live! Superstar!! and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. I'm sure that this will make you feel thrilled to count along with her in her special postscript message to ensure that you'll finally get to know more about the bravehearts in the city of Yokohama, which I'm planning to post something related to them very soon! Now, if you're ready to make your generous and compassionated, then, sit back, relax and enjoy reading this special postscript message from Wien and I'll see you on January 23 (Tuesday) or 24 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

A Special Message from Wien Marguerite

Hi, everyone! This is Wien Marguerite of Liella! from Love Live! Superstar!! and I'm here to share about my braveheart friends from the city of Yokohama through the Bravehearts of Yokohama. I'm very grateful that you have finally come to see me once again with your compassion and generosity to make yourself enlightened because tonight (January 20) is my birthday and it's a great honor to thank everyone for making me so blessed on this special day as I'm very excited to gleam, fascinate and shine to make your comfortable through my rainbow heart for the third season of Love Live! Superstar!! in a few months and hopefully, you're all here to shout out and shine with me like I have performed through my voice just for you! Anyway, for this special night that you'll be gleaming and illuminating through, I'll be sharing something special as it will be all about the bravehearts that they have bloomed for me while representing the Bravehearts of Yokohama, composed of the wards of Nishi and Naka. This is something that I wanted to share that I haven't done for a long time and while you have known about this city as one of the populous cities in Tokyo Metropolitan area, they have produced so many bravehearts that they're coming from either Liella! or the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, thus, you'll about to get to know about those in the near future when the author will be posting a future update that is related to them. Here, I'll be introducing you to the bravehearts that they have showed their harmony and serenity to gleam, illuminate and shine their community to make everyone more delighted to fly with you! It will be an impromptu postscript message on a very special night that I want to dedicate this to every fan of mine, so that you'll be bloomed enough to count on me and hopefully, when the third and final season will be held in a few months, you're all in to believe and shine to ensure that you'll be grateful to count on me on my journey as a member of Liella! that I'll never forget! I hope that you'll like this one because it will be so excited that you're about to take a glimpse on this sharing that you'll love, so that you'll be more cherished to count on us through your rainbow hearts! Anyway, it all started when I had a vacation in the city of Yokohama for myself, I looked up into the Western-style restaurant for my dinner before I was bumped by a young dreamer who had just entered with her family. Her name is Tsukasa Nonaka and she's a sixth grade elementary school student from the Odori Minatogaoka Elementary School. While she had a wonderful dream that she had cherished for her community, she made her difference in bringing the harmony and serenity to encourage everyone to shout out and smile like she's going to make them motivated with a smile on her face. Just like me, Tsukasa had been active with her fellow bravehearts and dreamers over the weekend where they often operating the research club, which was reserved for the bravehearts in making some fabulous activities to run for the excitement and thrill in their city. You'll be surprised that Tsukasa had been very brave and bold enough to admire everyone if they're feeling excited to show their motivation towards reaching their goals while she had always helped them to ensure that they'll be building the right way to get the job done as usual. She and her friends from the Indigo Kaleidoscope, led by Naohito Yamakita, have been known for their friendship being bloomed as expected where they have been showing their determination to cherish and thrill their community while aiming to keep dreaming and believing for everyone to shout out and smile stronger as it would be. Her hometown in Sakuragi was known for those that they have showed their ambitions to innovate and resonate and she was very ecstatic that she had been part of it when she had been called out by the youth council to deliver some platforms to satisfy the youth. Partially, she was with her older siblings, who were all young leaders, when they have been shining together to lead the future, thus, she had applied on her leadership ways with the Bravehearts of Yokohama where she had encouraged her fellow bravehearts to start dreaming and fascinating to ensure that they'll be shining together to get the dreams that they want. She had enjoyed a close friendship with its leader Tomoyuki Inokuma and Mizuki Yamashiro as they have used to get along with one another in bringing up their magnificent plans while aiming to fascinate the entire community to bring some momentum that will never be backed down at all. One thing that you'll find it very interesting is that Tsukasa, Mizuki and another braveheart in Riho Wakabayashi have created their own special circle group known as the Dusk Gale Squadron, which has been composed of their close friends that they have inspired their dreams that they built for the wards of Nishi and Naka while bringing their pride and compassion to everyone. It would be led by the trio of Natsumi Hiraishi, Seiko Tomonaga and Haruka Okajima as they have been very determined to show their beautiful smiles to serenade their brilliant dreams to let them thrill while they're very determined to convincing everyone to start smiling to create a great momentum that they'll never miss like they're here to seize a day. You'll also be surprised that Tomoyuki's younger brother Yoshinori had been part of the squad to take charge of the recruitment of the male members through a connection link between one another. Of course, the fun never ends big time when Tsukasa had asked me to call out those who have been very passionate to follow my school idol career and it became a reality when a young dreamer and idol in Maiko Onoda became the first person to step up and create a special circle group known as the Butterfly Shimmer Zone, which will later be joined by Tomari Morishima, Nanami Kubota, Junko Kumashiro, Suzuna Enokida and Kyoka Uesugi and they have a wonderful friendship to let me and Tsukasa bloom because we have so much fun working on our plans that we have prospered and harmonized while they're aiming to be like them whether they're aiming to follow their path of becoming school idols or community leaders that can change the glimpse of our community. I have been very fascinated that Tsukasa made a lot of magic to let them gleam, illuminate and shine to show that she'll be here to count on everyone that made her cherished and compassionated and she'll be assured that she'll keep cheering them up through her smile that will comfort them in her own way. I'll be assured that she'll have more dreams that she'll about to resonate in the future as she'll do everything to keep her thrills being prospered and finding happiness to be with her friends and allies, so that they'll bloom, gleam and shine together through their rainbow hearts that they'll never miss in a Tokimeki way! I hope that you enjoyed reading this update as you have been very delighted to recognize Erina as she'll be ready to follow your dreams that you have prospered while she's very excited to be with you to ensure that you'll have a great time to cherish her in a fascinating way to believe, resonate and smile. Anyway, before I'll cap this off, I would like thank everyone for greeting me a very 'Happy Birthday' on this special night and it made me feel delighted that you have finally showed out to count on me and let my dreams fly like I'm stepping up believe and shine just for you! It's so amazing that you have stayed compassionated and grateful to show your smiles for me and I'll be more comfortable to keep cherishing you to ensure that you'll be more flanked by my thrills that I'll shout out for you! Until then, I will see you next time when our school idol group will be featured once again in Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, and stay prospered and thrilled to keep believing in your dreams, everyone!

[Sherwin Riga]

Hi, everyone! I know that this was supposedly today's update, but as you can see, I got crammed into the sleeping issues once again that affected my time management. I should have gone posting this earlier if I focused on finishing it the right way and so, this is making me complicated that I don't think that I'm going to make it on time because even I'll be posting this today, I would still plan on posting this on another time, thus, I made up my mind that I'll be posting this update to another date this weekend on January January 27 (Saturday), depending the time that I need, so that I'll easily start the next update as soon as possible. As far as concerned with the seiyu updates, this is going to take time and because of this, I may not gonna make it on time before the end of the month. Of course, I should try working on a better schedule to finish the seiyu updates this month as soon as I can, starting with the seiyu profiles of the other idol franchise series including THE IDOLM@STER and IDOLY PRIDE alongside BanG Dream!, which will be done in a few days. This means, I'm deciding to delay Side Sunrise, but keeping the forthcoming update that will be focused on Ai Miyashita (CV. Natsumi Murakami) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, probably on January 30 (Tuesday), so that I'll be following up with another update on February 2 (Friday). In addition, the idea of Side Vernal being upgraded to a monthlong plan for the month of February is mostly going to happen due to Year of the Emeralds and Peaches will be kicked off on that day with the new updates set to feature new faces that are very close to Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide), thus, there will be a lot of updates to be posted related to that section while delaying Side Queendom once again to probably after Side Sunrise, which will now be scheduled to release by March 2024 after the so-called 'writer's block' in the first three weeks of March 2024, as part of the Side Moon in collaboration with Side Vivid by April 2024. Hopefully, I'll be able to maintain my schedule in working on the new updates because it's going to be more complicated that I might not go on track as expected and so, I'll have a plan in trying to solve this problem once I'm done with Side Vernal next month, which will have more than five updates plus adding some collaborative ones with Side Queendom as part of the birthday celebration of Lanzhu Zhong (CV. Akina Hōmoto) on February 15 (Thursday). Hopefully, I'll be able to make it on time in trying to work on the schedule properly to ensure that I'll be making my writing stuff easier as it would be! I apologize that I wasn't able to make it on time because I have been dealing with multiple stuff that I couldn't finish and so, I need to sacrifice another day to ensure that I'll be getting a proper time to post on this as soon as possible. Hopefully, once I have finally finished working on the draft, it will now be posted in a few days after I have posted this today. Instead, I'll be posting a couple of special messages that I have finished, so that you'll be very thrilled on what I have planned for the upcoming updates that will feature them very soon! So, sit back, relax and enjoy these postscript messages to be shared by Lanzhu and Kasumi Nakasu (CV. Mayu Sagara) and I'll see you on January 27 (Saturday) for the actual next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

A Special Message from Kasumi Nakasu

Hi, everyone! This is Kasumi Nakasu of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'm going to share about our secrets with Yasue Ichikawa, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato. I'm very delighted that you have finally seen me sharing another postscript message after the last time that I did for Shiho Miyakawa, one of the members of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing the Harmony and Serenity Section because I'll be sharing about the secrets that me and Yasue made as part of our close friendship that we brought into when I have joined NijiGaku. Of course, it's very special that you're all here to fascinate her because last January 23 (Tuesday) was my birthday and you're all here to show your fabulous smiles and you made me thrilled all day! So, thank you very much for those who have sent some messages on that very special day and I hope that you'll not gonna let Kasumin down to ensure that I'll be ready to cheer for you through my rainbow heart! Now, as I'll be sharing about our secrets that me and Yasue have where we have so many of those like you have never seen those before, but you're going to take a glimpse on some of the biggest ones that you'll never miss out as we have used to bloom, gleam and shine together to ensure that you'll never miss the thrills that you'll always count with and so, you're about to dive in through your smiles that will make us thrilled, especially this will be very special that you'll about to let us believe and shine! I hope that you'll like this one as you'll be more delighted to recognize them through your rainbow hearts that you'll throb through for sure! Anyway, when Yasue had met me the first time in Aomi, we have been so thrilled that we have a lot of fun to get along while making us ecstatic to bring something special to let them fly. Of course, one of the things that I have been fascinated to be with Yasue is that she's so positive that she can hype out with her fellow bravehearts to ensure that she'll let them know that they'll not miss the biggest moments that they'll ever witness. That's why our secret is when we cheer them up, we always make them feel determined to believe and smile. That's what we used when we tried to convince our friends to show some cherishment and they're definitely become more bloomed to keep their rainbow hearts throbbing when they're with us for some fabulous activities. One time, Yasue had cheered up her neighbors to start believing in her ambitions while trying to build her friendship with them harmoniously. That's why it became very important that our friends need to stop worrying and frustrating, so that you'll be more courageous to empower and harmonize like you don't to back down so easily. It feels great that we gave them something to believe and they'll never be forgotten to let them know that they're coming out to shine all the way and stay compassionated at all times. Another secret that we put up is that we used to deliver some love letters to our admirers that we can't reveal as we're very prestigious that we want to show ourselves that we're here to believe, resonate and smile to cheer for them. I know that it's considered confidential that I can't reveal those as it may affect their feelings to our admirers, but to give you something that you'll be surprised is that I had given them some wonderful gifts to cherish them with love and so, they're prospered enough to send me some cute items in return. We believe that they have been so innocent that they wanted to be with us for indulgence in secret, but we'll be assured that we want to make our relationship in private at the moment until we have the time to settle those when we're growing up to become young adults soon. Now, there's also some other things that you should definitely know is that we love to organize circle activities with those that they have been close to the two of us, which leads to the creation of the Serenity Yellow Poppy, which was led by Kira Morishita and Tomoe Ikeda. This is where we have enlightened our community to believe and shine through our marvelous while keeping our dreams to be prospered until they're all fulfilled eventually. You'll be assured that they're about to make their appearance in the future where they're going to bring their pride and compassion to prosper and admire us, but of course, you'll never know that we're going to make them feel ecstatic to shout out and fly with us like they'll here to count on you! Lastly, when I invited her to get along with our school idol club, we have shared some lucky charms that are so beautiful that can find in shopping districts in Odaiba. You'll be very intriguing that both Emma Verde and Rina Tennoji have been interested into those as they love to use those to make them prestigious just like us. On top of that, I also give Yu Takasaki a special treatment to have a colorful bracelet, which she loved it that she can wear when she's representing for our school idol club and she's going to make us thrilled that she'll be very comfortable to count on us to deliver the dreams to everyone in our side. I love these secrets that are so precious and blooming that we will never forget and it feels grateful that we never miss them through our smiles to make us cherished and thrilled all the way to bloom our community, thus, we're very satisfied that we put them up to make sure that they'll be very determined to get along with fun for something that they'll never and they'll definitely be delighted to keep counting on our dreams that we'll be resonating for all. It's going to be fantastic that we'll be surprising them with those secrets that we gleamed through and you'll be assured that we're here to make you feel in frenzy that you'll never forget! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because you have been very thrilled to know about our secrets with Yasue by cherishing us through your rainbow hearts and it's so nice that you will keep us delighted and thrilled to ensure that we'll show some love, empowerment, ambivalent and desire through our auras we're about to gleam just for you!

A Special Message from Lanzhu Zhong

Hi, everyone! This is Lanzhu Zhong of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'll be sharing about Hiroko Kamikita and Kozue Tomiyasu, both close friends of mine and members of the Bravehearts of Minato. It's so nice that you came here all along to make sure that you won't miss this one after I have shared about Yurika Kaida, the younger sister of Nichika Kaida and a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, representing the Hydrangea Dream Section, because this time, I wanted to do something that will be thrilling you different as you'll about to take a glimpse on the two members of the Bravehearts of Minato that they have been very close to yours truly from the very beginning in Hiroko Akiyama and Kozue Tomiyasu. Both Hiroko and Kozue have been very known with one another as best friends in the neighborhood of Aomi while bringing their own fascination to cherish, gleam and thrill everyone through their rainbow hearts. Of course, one thing that you'll find it very interesting is that while Hiroko made me an idol that she inspired while joining the Bravehearts of Minato as one of the members of the Blooming Ribbon Audrey, Kozue had been following my fellow club member Mia Taylor while being delighted to thrill with me for bonding sessions in my hometown in Ariake. You'll about to get to know about them on how they have become very close to me while aiming of building a harmonious community that they'll be prospered just for you! You'll also about to take a glimpse on their connection with my other close friends where they have a wonderful story that they built in order to harmonize with one another make their bonding more blooming and fascination as it would be! Hopefully, you'll be very excited to see this one before your very eyes because this is the one that you're going to make yourself comfortable to recognize them to ensure that you'll remember them in the next future updates to come! Anyway, when I flew from Hong Kong to Tokyo to enroll at the Nijigasaki Academy High School, I used to get along with my closest friends in Kōtō including Fūka Nishitani, Rika Okumoto and Maiko Senda before starting to groom Suzumi Arisaka and Azuki Shiomi when they have started to become closer to the Bravehearts of Minato, thus, I have made them more comfortable to follow every dream that they fascinated while continuing their interests on my school idol career because they have been admiring me to show that they're here to shout out and smile for me in an indulgent way that they'll be counting with! Of course, a few of my close friends have also been groomed by me when they're starting to show their interests on my school idol career, but two are more special in Hiroko Kamikita and Kozue Tomiyasu. To tell you the story, Hiroko and Kozue were living next to another in Aomi where they have used to get along with one another for side activities whether it's afterschool or weekend to ensure that they'll be gleaming with one another to bloom, gleam and shine though their rainbow hearts. Now, they have an interesting friendship that they built as they wanted to create a prosperous community by building their own connection link to work together to get the future, thus, they have groomed their friends and allies to ensure that they'll be very passionate to cherish them in their own way that they'll make them satisfied. That's why they're very determined that they'll about to take a glimpse to shine all the way to ensure that they'll never back themselves down and cherish together to make their dreams come true that will make their hometown shining all the way. So, when I have performed my song 'Queendom', which at that time, I wasn't part of NijiGaku in the first season though being an independent school idol, both Hiroko and Kozue have approached me and give me a smile for their first impression. I'm glad that they have been showing their smile to impress me on my performance and so, I made them feel comfortable that they're going to get their thrills that they want for them to stay compassionated and thrilled. One moment that I have been grooming Hiroko and Kozue is that we have a group date in a steakhouse where we have been eating some delicious steaks that are so good that I have been fascinated to give it a bite, especially that Hiroko loves to eat those during occasions. I'm very grateful that we have enjoyed it as it was a great group date that we found it blooming and so, it's definitely thrilling that they have been showing their cherishment and smile to me to ensure that I'll be happy to count on them like they're never backing down at all in a cherished way! When we have a conversation with one another, Hiroko told me that she had an older brother named Hisao playing for the Hanzōsen High School boys' basketball as a freshman coming off from the middle school team and so, this is something that I have liked because he had a high hopes of trying to become a professional basketball athlete in the future and while he had worked hard to develop his career, he had encouraged his friends to cheer themselves and be upright to make things possible. I'm assured that Hiroko made him proud on his performance that he had put up for his team and I hope that they'll keep it up to make sure that they'll be blooming together in bringing their smiles from the inside to let them fly. For Kozue, she had once been part of the library committee where she was a student assistant before becoming an officer where she took the role of secretary. She had an ambition of becoming a quality assurance manager in Hanzōsen as she likes to help out the staffers to ensure that the library is the best place to innovate new stuff to discover and of course, she had started to work on speaking different languages outside Japanese such as English and French through my schoolmate Bernice Montanier, thus, she'll be very assured that she'll get more knowledge into languages in the future when she's expecting to travel across the world. Both Hiroko and Kozue have their own dreams of bringing the fascination to their community by bringing their empowerment to satisfy everyone while aiming to bring beautiful bonds to bloom, gleam and shine for them like they'll never back down at all. Now, when it comes to their friends on their side, they have become very close to the Peach Pink Nightingale, led by Shigeri Makihara, and Orange Rugosa Serenity, led by Tomomi Iga, as they have used to build their activities to fascinate and shine everyone while bringing their thrills to let them bloom all the way. You'll be very confident to see their perfect partnership being paid off one time when they have entertained their friends by encouraging them to empower through their colorful smiles to make them comforted to chime in enjoy in a heartbeat. It's so amazing that they have put up their own show that they let them bloom to ensure that they'll be prospering and admiring them through the compliments and smiles to show that they'll be delighted to groom them just like how Hiroko and Kozue have used to. It's definitely looked stupendous that they have created their own magic to bloom, gleam and shine their community to show that they're going to make them more comfortable to believe, resonate and smile and enjoy their wonderful thrills possible. Another thing that you'll be more intrigued to add a cherry on top is that they have used to get along with my other close friends including Himari Watase, Fumika Maekawa and Kirara Nakashima as they're very determined to shine with one another in bringing the fabulous thrills to bloom like they're here to shout out and dive in a heartbeat! I'm very surprised that they have enjoyed getting along with them where they have never missed the thrills to let them believe, gleam and shine, thus, they're very assured that they're going to strengthen their bonds of friendship to keep them cherished more than they'll be thrilling them. It's so nice that to see those two bringing their wonderful smiles to bloom while worshipping me on my school idol career as they'll be assured that they're ready to shout out and shine to make their thrills being resonate that they'll never miss! I'll be keeping an eye on them to make sure that they'll be very comfortable to keep dreaming and believing through their colorful smiles as they'll be very thrilled to work with their fellow dreamers to create their future and they'll always be here to cheer for me like they're never backing themselves down through their rainbow hearts that they have throbbed! I hope that you enjoyed reading this special postscript message because it makes me feel excited about sharing when it's my time to step up like the way it used to be and I'll be delighted that I'll get the first thrill to make yourself comfortable through your rainbow heart. You'll always be thrilled to come along with us at any time that you want, so that we'll be here to cheer for you to make yourself comfortable and delighted for sure! Until then, I'll see you next time for another side chapter that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and make yourself indulged and determined with your smile and joy, everyone!

SIDE STORY: "RED SECTION STORIES"
CHAPTER 292: "BRINGING THE ONE PEACH DIVING MOMENT TO SHOUT OUT AND SMILE!"​

Date: May 8, 2010 (Saturday)

This side chapter is focused on Momo Kashiwada as she's getting along with her close friends on her side before talking about her next plan with her connection circle being unveiled.

While the members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and the Bravehearts of Minato are very busy with their own activities including the gathering for the circle of friends of Rina Aonuma, Momo had enjoyed grooming her close friends at her home after finishing her assignments quickly in an hour.

"Are you done with your assignment, Momo?" asked Sayuri Moriguchi, the leader of Peach Stella.

"Yeah, it's all good that I have finished it, Sayuri! Now, I'll check the rest if everyone is done with their own the same thing" said Momo.

"You got it!" said Sayuri before finding a better idea that she had in her mind. "You know, after we just formed our very own circle of friends that we have started working together as dreamers, we believe that we could bring more thrills to fascinate in our community since we dream to make everyone delighted and thrilled through our rainbow hearts. It's so nice that we have been working together through our ambitious plans after you had joined the varsity team two years ago and of course, thanks to your affiliation with the Bravehearts of Minato, you can get a dream that you want."

"Of course, I have one, Sayuri. I have been thinking about trying to bring more friends to connect with us to ensure that we'll be shining our way to cherish, gleam and shine like what my fellow bravehearts and I have used to in our activities. Though, I'm feeling like there's something that I wanted to make this happen" said Momo.

"And what's going to be?" asked Sayuri.

"I wanted to invite my close friends that they have been following Setsuna's school idol career to be part of the Bravehearts of Minato" said Momo.

"Oh, so that's what you're trying to tell me a few hours ago before you focus on finishing your assignment. I see what you're trying to improve your friendship with Setsuna" said Sayuri.

"Yes, that's true" replied Momo. "I'm very compassionated that I have followed Setsuna ever since she had started her school idol career and joined NijiGaku. I always like to be with her not only because she's my heroine that I inspired through her rainbow heart, but she's the one that can bring some marvelous dreams to bloom and shine every one of us. On top of that, my friends and I have been getting along with her in different occasions to bring the harmony that we put up more than it's just a thrill to enlighten. That's why Setsuna and I have planned this in order to keep our friendship getting closer with one another and to improve the reputation of her school idol career by bringing them some thrills to be dedicated to her. You love Setsuna too, right?"

"Yes, I am. Setsuna was almost my idol that I have followed ever since she came into otaku culture, especially that she had been a fan of magical girls. There's a lot of thrills that I made her feel comfortable when she had her first live performance as a school idol and that's right before she had joined NijiGaku few weeks ago. I love the way she had performed her songs that made me pumped up that I can shout out and dive and if she came out there to thrill with us, she's very determined that she'll be cherishing us all the way! I'm sure that we're all equals to be friends with her and I'll tell you that she's going to do anything to keep us thrilling like she'll never back us down all along!" said Sayuri.

"Exactly, that's true. That's why I have invited them to my house because they're very interested about joining the Bravehearts of Minato to act as dreamers and bravehearts in building our future while showing their closeness with me and Setsuna to fascinate some wonderful ideas that we'll make" said Momo.

"Well, that's the right call that you made them feel excited to be with you for today and I hope that it's going to be magnificent that they're going to become bravehearts just like you!" said Sayuri.

"You bet!" said Momo while giving Sayuri a smile on her face. "Once they're finally here, we're going to surprise them like it's about to let them fly!"

"Alright!" said Sayuri.

Momo and Sayuri would end up calling the close friends of the former at the study room where they'll be addressing about what they'll be doing today.

"Everyone! I have some great news!" said Momo.

"What 'great news'?" asked Nanami Iwahashi, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"You're going to like this one because the close friends of mine that have been following Setsuna's school idol career will be coming to us today! Isn't that awesome?" replied Momo.

"Yes, you got it! We wanted to bring them to get along with us in building a beautiful and synchronous partnership that will definitely change our lives. I'm sure that you have been familiar with Setsuna, who had been part of NijiGaku" said Sayuri.

"Yeah!" said the close friends of Momo.

"I'm very excited with this because it will be fascinating that we'll have them to be part of our organization as partners for our future activities while aiming to bring more harmony to shout out and shine with Setsuna" said Nanami.

"I like this one because it will bring the blooms and smiles to resonate where we'll be building our own ambition to let them fly without missing them for big moments" said Misako Hironaga, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"Yep! I know that you and Setsuna have a history of friendship where you brought some awesome ideas that you made for us and I have to say that there will be a lot of surprises going to be made, especially for a passionate braveheart to keep believing on her" said Mimina Sakano, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"This is definitely what I like to see for that to bloom more while engaging them to our activities as long as they're here to cooperate with us on our future plans" said Keisei Aimoto, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"That would be magnificent that we're going to put up our own show that will embrace our smiles and never back us down all day!" said Tōru Arimura, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"Just like the other bravehearts that they have showed to keep believing and shining, we'll be assured that we're going to give them something to cherish if they're satisfied to be with you" said Hayato Matsuzawa, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"I'm liking this one because these dreamers wanted to be like you to show that they're building their own dreams that they'll never miss!" said Sakuya Kumazaki, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"Of course, you will be more of a dreamer to groom and fascinate them as they're not only the ones that they'll count on all of us, but they'll be assured that they're here to make Setsuna proud!" said Tōko Kikumoto, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"We all know that Setsuna had been very ambitious in building her own community to let them shine by convincing them to shout out and dive and I have to say that you have followed her philosophy of bringing them to their own promise land that they'll not miss in a single heartbeat" said Yoshinori Hirata, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"Hopefully, things are about to get frenzy because they're coming out to here to cherish and fascinate through the colorful smiles that they'll always put up!" said Shugo Ikeda, a close friend of Momo Kashiwada.

"Yeah!" said Momo and Sayuri.

"I'm sure that this will be more of a big plan that I have never done as a member of the Bravehearts of Minato, but you'll be fascinated that you're going to make me and Setsuna proud!" said Momo.

"That's right, Momo! It's definitely more fun to hang out with them to show that they're here to believe, gleam and shine and let's hope that we're going to surprise them like we're here to dive, gleam and thrill!" said Sayuri.

"Yeah!" said the close friends of Momo.

About 10 minutes later, a group of young dreamers have finally arrived at the entrance of the Kashiwada Residence where they saw Momo putting up the tables for the guests before waving their hands together.

"Hey, Momo! We're here!" said Kanami Morigami, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki. She would eventually become the leader of the Violet Storm Andromeda, a special circle group that will be composed of the close friends of Momo and Setsuna.

"Over in the entrance!" said Toa Kizuki, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Ah, there you are, Kana and Toa! I'll let you all in!" said Momo.

"Hooray!" said Kanami and her friends as they're very thrilled to enter the Kashiwada Residence where they have been greeting with Momo and her fellow close friends on her side in a formal way like how Setsuna did with her followers.

Close Friends of Momo Kashiwada: Nanami Iwahashi, Misako Hironaga, Mimina Sakano, Keisei Aimoto, Tōru Arimura, Hayato Matsuzawa, Sakuya Kumazaki, Tōko Kikumoto, Yoshinori Hirata and Shugo Ikeda

"How's your day, everyone?" asked Momo.

"Everything is all good that we have been comfortable to believe, gleam and shine all day as we want to be more excited on what you're going to plan for us!" said Kanami.

"We believe that you have something to make us cherished and thrilled now that you have created your own circle of friends, thus, we want to be ready to make us thrilled on those to ensure that we're ready to shout out and smile!" said Toa.

"Yes, indeed! Since we're very passionate to be with you for months after we gathered together last night, it's definitely going to be fascinating that the future is about to get even gleamer with your plans that will about to explode!" said Hisae Wakimoto, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"I agree with you, Hisae-san! The more that we'll have our thrills to let them fly, the better that we'll cherish everyone to keep us believing" said Hiroko Imada, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"And of course, we're going to make our community more ecstatic to witness big as long as we have to convince them to believe, gleam and shine through our rainbow hearts" said Satomi Kuwashima, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Just like what we have seen from those that they have been very close to Setsuna, we're all set to make some noise and empower through our pride and compassion through our ambitions and dreams that will make her proud!" said Erika Kobayashi, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"We could elevate our friendship into something even better to gleam all the way where we're shouting out and shine to keep our community being prospered with more dreams to be chased" said Nagisa Masutomi, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"That way, we'll be giving them some opportunities that they'll never miss as long as we're all in the same page to cheer everyone up and let them be the guide to endless thrills that we'll give them!" said Taiki Kazama, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Hopefully, we're going to embrace our smiles and thrills when we'll be meeting our partners and as we're going to bring our thrills to believe, gleam and smile like it's not going to disappoint us all day!" said Morihiko Anzai, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Yeah!" said Momo, Sayuri and the close friends of Momo.

"I'm very glad that you came here to be with me today because as you all know, Setsuna and I have been working on our plans that we're about to thrill you big as things are about to get even stronger with our bond getting prospered for more" said Momo.

"Yep! We decided to lay some ideas that we're going to strengthen our friendship with Setsuna through some plans that we're going to let them bloom, gleam and shine like it's never gonna miss all day" said Sayuri.

"So, we prepared for you to know about those and then, if you want to give us some ideas that you want to organize, just let us know" said Nanami.

"Okay!" said Kanami and her friends.

"What Setsuna and I proposed is that we're inviting everyone to be part of the Bravehearts of Minato that are very close to us in order to create a brand new special circle group, which will be known as the Violet Storm Andromeda" said Momo.

"Yes, girl! This one will be served as a new group that will represent for those who have been very determined of being close to both Momo and Setsuna with the purpose of bringing the fascination and enlightenment to make everyone feeling thrilled to count on us!" said Sayuri.

"This means, you'll be very thrilled that you're going to adapt your own representation to be friends with one another while worshipping both Momo and Setsuna to make their dreams come true" said Nanami.

"It will be grateful that you're about to step up with us when you're all invited to embark on our journey of bringing the blooms and smiles to work together in making our lives more prospered than it would be" said Momo.

"Yeah!" said Kanami and her friends.

"So, is this one will become one of the new special circle groups that will be included in the organization of the Bravehearts of Minato?" asked Kanami.

"Yeah, Kanami! This group will indeed be part of the Bravehearts of Minato as part of the partnership between me and Setsuna and our goal is to maintain our friendship by grooming those who wanted to be like me while showing some love to Setsuna. One part is that they'll be getting some privileges that they'll get by participating in our activities that are more engaging to get on and to make everyone more prospered and harmonized by cherishing through like following the examples of Setsuna. I have been very passionate and enlightened to inspire Setsuna's leadership because she had been very determined that she'll do anything to bring the prosperity and harmony to everyone by showing her colorful smiles to make them compassionated and thrilled. There are other special circle groups that will expect to be created in the future once this group will be formed, but at the moment, we'll be sticking to this one for a few days to completely assemble this group" said Momo.

"Oh, that's very nice that you have aligned this idea to make Setsuna very thrilled as we're so excited that we're going to manage this group to ensure that we'll have some wonderful thrills that we'll bringing up to her!" said Kanami.

"I'll be grateful that we're going to have some fantastic thrills that we'll be blooming through for this group as it will be our time to step up and shine just like how we have used to bloom, gleam and shine for Setsuna" said Toa.

"But this time, we're building a perfect group that will empower our community through our pride and compassion" said Hisae.

"That would be terrific that we're about to make some noise for all of us that we'll make Momo and Setsuna being cherished to count on our dreams and keep their friendship more blooming than we'll expect" said Hiroko.

"I have to say that this new group will be so solid that we're going to make some decisions to run through while aiming to make the difference to beleive, gleam and shine just like everyone in the Bravehearts of Minato had showed their way to cherish everyone" said Satomi.

"You bet! I'm assured that we have our own ambitions that we built for them to show that we're going to make everyone more comfortable to shout out and dive and on top of that, we'll have our own dreams that we'll be building for everyone in our community" said Erika.

"This is why those who have been very close to Setsuna will always lead the way as long as they'll bring some momentum to let them gleam in a Tokimeki way!" said Nagisa.

"Of course, we should! Setsuna had given us the thrills that made us feel ecstatic to shout out and smile for her and with her partnering with Momo, we're about to find our happiness that we'll let them fly!" said Taiki.

"I'm so exhilarated about this announcement because we're about to build our very own representation that will make Setsuna being thrilled to follow us while aiming to harmonize them through our own compassion for everyone to keep us dreaming and believing" said Morihiko.

"I'm very delighted that this group will expect to have high expectations when we'll be joining that group as this will be a haven for those who wanted to follow the examples of Momo and Setsuna like we're about to shout out and dive with them when stepping up into our community" said Toshiaki Katsuya, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"We'll be grateful that we'll be representing this group like this is our time to make us believe, gleam and shine as the passionate ones that made Momo and Setsuna being thrilled to make their rainbow hearts throb and that's why we're ready to work together to bring the fascination and prosperity to our community that we'll ever witness" said Nobutomo Iizuka, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Exactly right about that! Since we're very close to Momo while following Setsuna, we can do whatever we want to ensure that we'll be more thrilled to shout out and smile for them like this is our time to adapt our own ways to fascinate everyone" said Satsuo Motohashi, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"It will be marvelous that we're all in to cherish and fascinate everyone through our smiles that we will not miss and hopefully, this will be our time to let our thrills resonate not only as dreamers, but as bravehearts through the auras of magenta, scarlet and violet!" said Yuya Fukatsu, a first year middle school student from the Hanzōsen Middle School and a close friend of Momo Kashiwada while her idol is Setsuna Yūki.

"Yeah, you got it!" said Momo, Sayuri and the close friends of Momo.

"I wonder what are you going to build for the other groups" said Hisae.

"I want to know about the same thing because Momo has some brilliant plans that she put up for her own connection circle, I think?" added Hiroko.

"I think so, but if I have mistaken correctly, this is to strengthen her friendship with Setsuna while aiming to empower us through fabulous activities around Minato and Odaiba. That will be focused on those who have been very passionate to believe, resonate and shine like them" said Kanami.

"That would be stupendous that we're going to witness all of us shining our way to make the difference in making our thrills more blooming as it would be!" said Toa.

"That's correct, Kanami and Toa! We have planned on this last night right after I built my circle of friends where we wanted to integrate our ideas of building special circle groups for those who are special to shout out and dive. She told me that it will bring the harmony and fascination to show that they'll keep believing and shining through their rainbow hearts that they'll never miss while keeping their promise to thrill with the Bravehearts of Minato and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club" said Momo.

"You got that right, Momo! In Hanzōsen, there were a lot of dreamers that they have followed Setsuna, being ranked third for the most followers behind Ayumu and Shizuku and ahead of Kasumi. You'll be surprised that the most came from the ages between 16 and 17 while a group of friends led by Kazumasa Iwasaki were also there to follow her" said Sayuri.

"We took into the research on this in trying to create a prototype for the special circle groups that will be associated to Momo and Setsuna where we wanted to cater those who have been passionate to follow them through their activities while aiming to bring their smiles and thrills to our community" said Nanami.

"The other idea that we got is that we wanted to engage you and everyone else to start dreaming for our future getting brighter as it would be and it will be stupendous that we'll be adopting those to ensure that we'll be ready to groom you like you'll never miss the thrills all the way" said Misako.

"Exactly! When they shared this to us, we came up with the idea of trying to cater those that they have been close ot them where they'll be the ones who will step up and shine through their rainbow hearts while aiming to create new friends that they'll be thrilling with" said Mimina.

"It turned out to be a plan that worked out now that we have invited you to be part of our organization to ensure that we'll be very delighted to make friends with you!" said Keisei.

"Yep! Everyone in the Bravehearts of Minato including those who have been very close to us were so excited that we want to build partnerships that we have bloomed to ensure that we'll be engaging with one another to keep us dreaming and thrilling like we're chasing our dreams that we'll be resonating for everyone" said Tōru.

"So, in the end, we're very satisfied with the results and it's finally about time that we're making this one a reality to make sure that you'll finally have your thrills to cherish, enlighten and indulge with them!" said Hayato.

"Yeah, for sure!" said Kanami and her friends.

"I'm so surprised that you have a lot of process in making this special circle group and it feels like we're about to build some wonderful thrills to bloom, gleam and shine our community while bringing some thrills to Momo and Setsuna" said Kanami.

"It's definitely awesome that this group will about to be more adapted into our community while aiming to fascinate everyone through our colorful smiles to make their dreams come true as this will be our own representation that we're about to let them fly" said Toa.

"I have to say that we're all in to keep us believing and shining through our rainbow hearts that we have bloomed because not only that we'll be working together to get the dreams that we want, but we'll let everyone know that we're all here to cherish, gleam and thrill Setsuna like we're about to let her dive!" said Hisae.

"You're right about that! We're very delighted that those who have followed either Momo, Setsuna or both will be given opportunities that they'll make them feel compassionated, especially that they're very ecstatic to believe in our dreams and be upright to keep our community being bloomed in a Tokimeki way that they'll expect all along" said Hiroko.

"And on top of that, these special circle groups are considered special that they'll be grooming dreamers that they wanted to be inspired just like anyone whether from the Bravehearts of Minato or NijiGaku and they'll be assured that they'll have their own dreams that they're going to create just like they're drawing their maps to connect with one another through the power of friendship" said Satomi.

"I agree with that, girls! It's not this braveheart group starting to grow big, but the neighboring areas did the same thing to welcome new members before assigning them to their own to ensure that they'll be building their own friendship with one another" said Taiki.

"That would be solid enough to make the first members being cherished to have them being part of the family, which means that we're so cherished that Momo came out to count on us!" said Morihiko.

"Yeah, that's what I thought, Morihiko! I have to say that we're about to bring the harmony and solidarity to make us bloomed, but this will definitely be stupendous that we'll start making our own family that we need in order to empower our community like we'll never miss the thrills from one way to another" said Toshiaki.

"Hopefully, we'll be bringing our own thrills to let them fly in our community to ensure that we're all here to keep us shining through our rainbow hearts and let everyone know that we'll be prospering Minato and Odaiba through our own magnificent dreams that we'll ever gleam for sure!" said Nobutomo.

"Yeah!" said Momo, Sayuri and the close friends of Momo.

"Now, I want you think about your first plans that you want to engage for us as not only that you're going to start building your friendship with one another, but you'll have some awesome things that you want to dive in through" said Momo.

"We'll be assured that we're going to make these coming out to shine in a gleaming way to ensure that we'll start shining through your rainbow hearts!" said Sayuri.

"Yeah!" said Kanami and her friends.

"What I'm thinking about a dream plan is that I want to organize a collaborative activity with the Flash Allegato, which is a group of friends that they have been getting along with me under the leadership of Kotoko Nagai. We have enjoyed collaborating with them for something fabulous to enjoy as well as some idol convention activities that are engaging every month. Of course, since I'm very close to Setsuna, I used to attend those in order to see her being cherished and thrilled with her smile that I'll always wanted. I can schedule this where we're going to meet the idols that we admired while trying to make friends with them to ensure that they'll very delighted to count on us through our rainbow hearts. It will help us making connections with them just like how everyone from the Bravehearts of Minato showing their compassion and thrill in following NijiGaku, but of course, this is definitely our time that we can let them fly to ensure that we'll be believing in them to cherish their dreams that we'll be satisfying with" said Kanami.

"I like this idea, Kanami! Since NijiGaku had been active in school idol activities, they can interact those that they have been following them and of course, we can engage with one another through meet-and-greet activity while we're going to give them some gifts that they'll cherish for. Of course, not everyone will be there because there will be some selected members to participate as long as they're not busy with their school stuff. Other than that, we can give the idols that are either allied or rivalled with NijiGaku some thrills that they'll make them feel cherished and gleamed and start making friends for sure!" said Momo.

"Yeah, I like that one too!" said Kanami. "We could scout them if they're worthy of becoming school idols that will fascinate everyone in our community. We have been thrilled to see school idols everywhere in Tokyo where they have mostly focused in bringing their rainbow hearts to gleam and shine and of course, they have their dreams that they can build for everyone that they'll never miss."

"I believe that this will benefit our scouting process in bringing them to the Bravehearts of Minato, but of course, there are a few braveheart groups being interested to recruit those" said Toa.

"Exactly! We believe that these idols will be good enough to reach their potential to go to the spotlight and prove that they can enlighten and shine through their voices and that's why we decided to come up with the idea of working with them to ensure that they'll be satisfied enough to count on us" said Hisae.

"This is compared to how different agencies looking to scout them before you'll have a plan to sign them to be a superstar in the future" said Hiroko.

"Production agencies such as 765 Production, 346 Production and 283 Production did their great job in finding idols through personality and skill" said Satomi.

"Which will be good enough to for them to develop them and make them more of a superstar that they would be" said Erika.

"You said it! When Setsuna taught us about the system of idol agencies, we were surprised that they have a different level of finding good idols that could elevate themselves to the next level and of course, we dive deeper into those on how this will work to ensure that once we're applying to the position of being scouts, we're good enough to groom them" said Nagisa.

"It's definitely great to live in an idol agency because this is what the beauty of producing idols everywhere else as long as you'll be good enough to make them more thrilled to become superstars in the world of idol culture" said Taiki.

"That's true! What we looked up into those is that idols have their own opportunities to create their own stories to run through, especially that they're coming out to believe, gleam and shine to ensure that they'll be blooming their community and increasing their reputation of becoming future leaders that will shine in a few years to come until they're hanging up the mic for good" said Morihiko.

"So far, it's very fascinating that we have discovered the world of idols in our country because it's all about the challenges and goals that they want to succeed in trying to become the best that they would be. I have to say that this will be more efficient enough to take note everyone like they're not backing down at all" said Toshiaki.

"Once they're going to have their own thrills to let them fly, they'll be in the good position to embrace their smiles to believe, gleam and thrill and all of us will make us prouder than it would be!" said Nobutomo.

"You said it! I'm sure that this will be good enough for the agencies to run the system to ensure that they'll be grooming them and so, expect bigger things for them in trying to shine them and make themselves popular through the stars aligned" said Satsuo.

"We're all in for this one once we're going to have opportunities to take there if we'll be able to develop those through our training that we're invited by a few months. It's a good thing that you should learn about scouting just like how the best agencies doing it all, but of course, you can make your own reputation and let them thrill!" said Yuya.

"Of course, indeed, guys!" replied Momo as she's going to explain about how she was passionate in the world of idols through scouting and development. "I'm very thrilled that the system of idol scouting had been so relevant to allow them to create their own story that they're building and I have to say that this will be good enough to elevate themselves to the next level. I'm so passionate to follow idols in my community, especially that Setsuna was my biggest inspiration, growing up as an otaku before coming a school idol. I used to live in Kōnan with my siblings on my side and we're so thrilled that we have enjoyed living with the idols that we have followed and while I was there, I used to meet up with Setsuna for some connection in the making to ensure that I'll be able to develop my friendship with her. For me, Setsuna is actually an organizer and leader with a rainbow heart that she can let her dreams fly and I'm assured that once she's done from being a school idol two years from now, she'll have a her own dream that she'll bring her reputation to the next level."

"Yeah, we agree!" said Kanami and her friends.

 

[Sherwin Riga]

"Can I ask you a question, guys? Are you interested in business of idols or just scouting around?" asked Nanami.

"Because we're aware that you have some plans that you want to work with the idols" said Misako.

"That would be cool if you're more focused on any of the fields" said Mimina.

"That's a good question. You see, us and some groups that they have been allied to are more focused in trying to create friendship with the idols across our community and we want them to be entertained to ensure that they'll have their high hopes to believe, gleam and shine. That's why we have found our own plans in trying to operate the idol scouting system, but also, more focused in giving them something that they want to build through co-habitation" said Kanami.

"The main reason why we're into this is because we want to be more connected with the idols that we followed to ensure that we'll be giving them some thrills to fascinate with" said Toa.

"Of course, we want them to be more comfortable to cherish them through our warmful smiles, so that they'll never back us down at all and do their part to shine through their voices" said Hisae.

"That's what idols do their jobs in order to bring success into their careers and of course, they'll be given some incentives to groom with and they have to show their courtesy and smile to satisfy the fans across the community" said Hiroko.

"We all know that the world of idols has a lot of place to chime in to ensure that they'll never miss the thrills like this is their time to let them fly and that's how people have used to follow them to get into their activities to worship them. We have been very connected with idols that they love to stay passionate through their rainbow hearts and so, we'll be very comfortable that they're going to have their own thrills to shout out and dive through their colorful smiles" said Satomi.

"That way, everyone will be very satisfied that they have found their spotlight to perform and smile like they have found their own harmony to believe with" said Taiki.

"You said it! The more that they rise together to bloom, gleam and shine, the better that they'll be cherished enough make their communities more blooming than they'll always expect" said Morihiko.

"Our ambitions have been looked great for us to worship the idols that we have followed and so, we'll expect for us to start building our friendship with them to ensure that they'll be delighted to count on our dreams that we need in order to let them shine through their rainbow hearts" said Toshiaki.

"Hopefully, we'll be very excited to meet more idols that they're not known, but later to be recognized as we're very thrilled to groom them to let them know that they're about to shine in their own way!" said Nobutomo.

"Ah, that's a good point that you ponder in, guys! I'm sure that you have learned everything to step up and cherish with the idols that you loved because people love to get passionate to follow their dreams while aiming for the success that they'll build around" said Nanami.

"They have to do their jobs in trying to cater the fans and followers by satisfying them through different duties" said Misako.

"As for those who are fans and followers, they must be more compromised in trying to keep their thrilling to ensure that they'll be happy to cherish and groom for you like you're about to get starstruck by their eye" said Mimina.

"Of course, those who have been working in the agencies, they must learn to communicate with them to ensure that they'll be satisfied enough to develop their friendship with one another" said Keisei.

"You should also treat them if you want to keep them satisfied for more because it's very important for the idols to develop their friendship together like they're going to shine in their own way and of course, you could get something that you want from them to ensure that you'll be living in the world of idols in a luxurious way" said Tōru.

"However, this depends on the reputation that they brought up, but if you're a super fan, you'll be surprised that you'll have to count them on to ensure that you'll be cherishing them more than they have used to" said Hayato.

"Yeah!" said Kanami and her friends.

"The idea of attending idol convention will be good enough for us to start looking for idols to co-habit and develop to ensure that we'll be thrilled enough to satisfy them, based on our performance that we put up" said Kanami.

"Yep! Another one is that we could do some inside interviews or vlogs rather to explore about their lives as an idol" said Toa.

"Oh, that would be magnificent that we have them if they want to be on the spotlight in any platform" said Hisae.

"Including social media, which everyone had used to interact with the fans and followers on their daily activities" said Hiroko.

"Moreover, they can give the fans and followers some advice to ensure that they'll be satisfied to thrill for them without missing their own thrills that they needed" said Satomi.

"On top of that, we could perform some jamming whether in-hour or online if they're interested to appreciate the fans all the way" said Erika.

"That's not bad to have that too, Erika! But let's not forget that we need to convince everyone to start following the idols that they inspired you to ensure that they'll empower themselves to cherish them like they're not gonna miss the biggest moments that they needed" said Nagisa.

"Yeah, that's cool too! I'm also thinking about fan arts where the fans and followers should show their passion by bringing the colors of life to create fan arts to their idols that they love" said Taiki.

"Well, that could spread some love to the idols if they want to cherish them in a blooming way!" said Morihiko.

"Just like how we did for Setsuna in her performance while singing 「DIVE! 」 in front of us!" said Toshiaki. The song 「DIVE! 」 was used in the third episode of the first season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, performed by Setsuna Yūki, who is voiced by Tomori Kusunoki and later, Coco Hayashi.

"I agree with you, guys! We can give everyone whatever they'll go with, especially that they need to communicate well with the idols that they have to ensure that they're make their lives more uplifted that they'll believe, gleam and shine" said Nobutomo.

"That would be stupendous to make the idols more cherished and thrilled by their own fans and followers, which means that they'll be shining their way to prove that they'll bring the harmony that they'll always expect!" said Satsuo.

"You said it! Everyone can do all of those if we're going to send the message to the community that we're all here to make the idols coming out to step up and shine for sure!" said Yuya.

"I like the ideas that you put up for your group to bloom, gleam and shine and that would be something that we need this hype to go up!" said Sayuri.

"Exactly! I'm surprised that you're going to bring all of ideas that you can let the idols cherished and thrilled and I have to say that they're all promising as expected" said Nanami.

"Yep! We should approve all of those automatically to ensure that we'll be working on those as long as we're all in the same page to let them believe, resonate and smile!" said Misako.

"I seconded this!" said Mimina.

"Let those plans fly, Momo!" said Keisei.

"Those ideas are looked brighter than we're expecting!" said Tōru.

"Well, I can decide this right now to ensure that it will all set for you to start your own story to bloom, gleam and shine" said Momo.

"Okay!" said Sayuri and the close friends of Momo.

Momo would make a decision whether to approve or reject those plans. "Alright, I have decided to accept all of those ideas as those are promising and blooming without a doubt!"

"Hooray!" said Kanami and her friends.

"Of course, I'll be sending those plans to Setsuna in order to formally approve it, but of course, your dreams will about to get even bigger and stronger if you're going to count on me in our activities with the Bravehearts of Minato for sure!" said Momo.

"Sure, count us in!" replied Kanami.

"You bet!" shouted Toa.

"Yeah!" added Hisae.

"We're all in!" reacted Hiroko.

"We'll be happy to be part of it!" said Taiki.

"It's going to be awesome as we can get it done!" added Morihiko.

"Looking forward into this!" replied Toshiaki.

"Of course, guys! Welcome to the world of dreams and thrills of the Bravehearts of Minato!" said Momo.

"Feel free to communicate with us if you want to start dreaming with your wonderful plans that you'll make!" said Sayuri.

"I'll look forward into your high hopes that you're going to let them fly as we're always here to believe, resonate and smile!" said Nanami.

"Yeah, we will!" said Kanami and her friends.

"Thank you very much for counting us in to create the Violet Storm Andromeda, Momo! I'm sure that Setsuna will be very comfortable to cheer for us as we'll be prepared to step up and shine like the stars aligned to keep our dreams gleaming!" said Kanami.

"Yeah, you got it!" said Momo.

"Now, let's celebrate together with some pink lemonade and club burgers, served by Momo's older brother Tetsuya!" said Sayuri.

"You got that right! Let's have a wonderful mid-afternoon break and keep diving and shining to make us all smile, everyone!" said Momo.

"Yeah!" said Sayuri, the close friends of Momo and the members of the Violet Storm Andromeda as they're about to enter to the dining room to take a bite on a piece of club burger and a glass of pink lemonade. Momo had finally welcomed Kanami and those who have been very close to her while following the school idol career of Setsuna to the Bravehearts of Minato through the Violet Storm Andromeda, a special circle group that will be served as a group of close friends that are very close to Momo and Setsuna. It's finally happening that Momo had started working on her next goals in trying to expand her influence with her friends and allies right after creating her own circle of friends yesterday. She'll never miss her thrills that she'll shine in her way to ensure that she'll be happy to cheer for them and make them stay compassionated and thrilled to have a harmonious community that will make their dreams come true in a Tokimeki way. Hopefully, Momo will make Setsuna proud in building a new special circle group for those who have been very passionate to thrill with the two and she'll be assured that she'll be bringing them the thrills that they'll uplift their lives without missing the big moments more than they'll ever expect.

UP NEXT: Full Profile of the Close Friends of Momo Kashiwada

 

[Sherwin Riga]

I have previously posted the profile of the close friends of Momo Kashiwada, who have appeared in Red Section-Chapter 199: "Dive with Your Smiles for One Sparkling Circle for the Pink-Haired Lass Through Her Throbbing Heart" thirteen months ago as part of the birthday celebration of Tomori Kusunoki, the former seiyu of Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, replaced by Coco Hayashi last March 2023, on December 22, 2022. Then, I wanted to expand this by bringing more influence into her external friendship with anyone who have been close to, especially that Momo had made Setsuna her idol that she had inspired the most. As a result, I decided to expand this by adding new characters that are very close to her and of course, they're featured in one of my mini-updates with the title, "From the Jubilant Thrills of Empowerment with Love: Momo Kashiwada and Her Close Friends", last month. So, here is the full profile of Momo Kashiwada as it will be divided into different sections. The first group is the close friends of Momo Kashiwada as they're used to show their compassion and thrill to bloom, gleam and shine with Momo and her friends from the Peach Stella, led by Sayuri Moriguchi. The second group is the Violet Storm Andromeda as it is one of the special circle groups of the Bravehearts of Minato, being composed of the close friends of Momo that have been following the school idol career of Setsuna. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that they're very passionate in following the world of idols, thus, they have ended up becoming friends with various idols including Setsuna to ensure that they'll be shouting out and dive through their marvelous smiles that they'll never miss. The third group is composed of those who have joined the Twilight Smile, led by Hiyori Kitayama. Hiyori and her fellow friends have been so determined that they wanted to bloom with Momo by bringing up some wonderful ideas to empower Minato and Odaiba through collaborative activities with Rina Aonuma and Junsei Furuhashi. And last but not the least, it will be the high school friends of Momo coming out from the high school level in the Hanzōsen High School. They have been associated to Momo through her older sister Tsubomi while being engaged to enlighten and indulge with her and her fellow members of the Bravehearts of Minato to ensure that they'll develop their friendship in making their thrills being bloomed enough that they won't miss.

A Special Message from Setsuna Yūki

Hi, everyone! This is Setsuna Yūki of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I will be sharing about the close friends of Momo Kashiwada that have been very close to me featuring Kanami Morigami. I'm so excited that you're about to get thrilled with another postscript message that you're going to read it out after you have known about the connection circle of Kotone Karashima, a member of the Bravehearts of Minato and the Hydrangea Dream Section because it's finally about time to get to know about the close friends of Momo Kashiwada that have been very close to me as you have seen them in tonight's update that the author had posted right now and of course, they're definitely more thrilling that they're about to bring their harmonious smiles to shout out and smile with Momo like they're very ecstatic to bloom, gleam and shine in a marvelous way. You'll about to get to know about them to ensure that you'll finally become familiar to them like this is their time to believe, gleam and shine for their rainbow hearts being throbbed all the way! It's going to be amazing that you'll finally have a chance to dive with them through your rainbow heart and I'm sure that you'll like this one because I'm going to explain about those, so that you'll be able to remember her when she'll be featured in an upcoming update that the author will be planning very soon! Anyway, Momo had been very known for communicating with her friends on her side whether they're close to or just passionate to follow the dreams of the special ones, thus, she had found her thrills to bloom, gleam and shine with them to ensure that they'll be developing their friendship like they're not going to miss those all the way! If you remember one of the mini-updates that the author had posted last month, he had shared about different close friends of Momo starting from those that they have used to gleam, fascinate and thrill with her and her fellow friends from the Peach Stella to the most extraordinary ones where they have been so passionate to follow her dreams from the bottom of their rainbow hearts. However, one group of close friends of Momo had been considered more special than the rest and that's where Kanami Morigami and her fellow dreamers have showed their way to bloom, gleam and shine with me while following my school idol career. It was started when Kanami had invited Momo to an idol convention to bloom, gleam and shine with the idols that they have followed. For those who didn't aware of Momo, Momo had communicated with the idols that they have put up their rainbow hearts to gleam, fascinate and thrill while empowering their community to let them shine. Of course, Kanami had been very surprised that Momo had found that interest being useful and so, she had been thinking about introducing Momo to something that she had changed her life. In the idol convention, both Kanami and Momo have been flanked by the idols that they have seen where they're so talented that they have performed their songs to entertain them in a blooming way. After which, this is where they have shared their favorite idols that they have loved the most, but what's most shocking is that Momo had accompanied me to the conversation where we have finally showed our smiles to enlighten and indulge together and that's what I have been thrilled to see Momo and Kanami have shared their interests on me by impressing my performance that I put up for them. You'll be more surprised that Kanami and her fellow dreamers composed of Toa Kizuki, Hisae Wakimoto, Hiroko Imada, Satomi Kuwashima, Erika Kobayashi, Nagisa Masutomi, Taiki Kazama, Morihiko Anzai, Toshiaki Katsuya, Nobutomo Iizuka, Satsuo Motohashi and Yuya Fukatsu have been enlightened to worship me, thus, Momo had been very thrilled that she'll be cherishing me more to ensure that we'll have a bonding friendship that we'll never forget! Since then, Momo and Kanami have become more focused in building their own dreams to cherish with me while sharing those to everyone that they wanted to be like her. That's why Momo had finally invited Kanami and her fellow dreamers to join the Bravehearts of Minato by forming the Violet Storm Andromeda, which will be served as a special circle group that will be reserved for the close friends of Momo that have been following my school idol career. From that, they have started communicating with one another to create some magnificent plans to let them gleam while aiming to put all dreams to everyone in Minato including their hometowns in Kōnan. They have also teamed up with the friends of Kanami from the Flash Allegato, led by Kotoko Nagai, to ensure that they'll be entertaining everyone that they'll never let them miss in a single throb from their rainbow hearts to believe, gleam and shine. Of course, everyone knows that Momo and Kanami have found connections with one another from falling in love to the idols to the empowerment of their community to believe, gleam and shine and so, they have been very cherished enough to bring the harmony and solidarity to everyone like they're never backing them down at all. Later, Momo and Kanami have called out their friends to expand their influence with one another as part of the expansion of the Bravehearts of Minato not only to start creating their own dreams to let them gleam, but to keep cherishing me in making my school idol career more blooming and shining than you'll expect. That's what the dreamers do to show that they're building their common partnership to fascinate and thrill everyone, especially that they have brighter ideas that they'll take those into their community that they have loved. It's so nice that Momo, Kanami and those that they have been close to the former and yours truly have found their happiness to bloom with one another while convincing everyone to step up and dive through their marvelous smiles that they'll always count on and be upright through their rainbow hearts all the way. You'll be very delighted that they'll be showing their way to keep smiling through their rainbow hearts that they have bloomed while making some noise to cheer for you to ensure that they'll be happy to count on you in bringing your smiles to fascinate you for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because you have finally become thrilled to cherish the close friends of Momo that have been very close to me, especially that you have made them proud to make sure that she's going to show their smiles to bloom and prosper you through their rainbow hearts while representing for their hometown to dive and shine together with Momo! I'm very delighted that you have always counted on me through my dreams that I prosper with, which means that you're going to show your pride and compassion to stay compassionated and thrilled to make sure that we'll be here cheer for you like you're about to gleam, resonate and smile! Until then, I'll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep us shine and smile, everyone!

UP NEXT: Red Section-Chapter 293: "All Eyes on the Diamonds to Spark for A Wonderful Dream!"

Momo had finally created the Violet Storm Andromeda as it will now be served as a special circle group that will be composed of the close friends Momo while following the school idol career of Setsuna Yūki (CV. Coco Hayashi) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. It's a jubilant blessing for Kanami Morigami and her friends as they're finally about to start dreaming and believing with both Momo and Setsuna to ensure that they're about to put up their own show that will bloom, gleam and thrill Minato and Odaiba through their own marvelous plans. They're definitely become ecstatic when they have heard about the announcement as Kanami had been very excited about building her own special circle group in helping Momo and Setsuna on their future plans, especially that they're focused in interacting with the idols from the world of idol industry. You'll also be surprised that they're now officially part of the Bravehearts of Minato as it is part of the second phase of their expansion by welcoming new members that they have been influenced with one or more individuals whether they're close to them or from another group. It's going to be fantastic that things are about to get blooming for Kanami and her friends that they're about to build their own reputation to embrace the thrills for Minato and Odaiba by stepping up and dive through their marvelous smiles that they can't miss for sure! So, expect bigger things to happen for this group because they're definitely passionate in bringing their dreams to everyone that they dreamt for and hopefully, they'll be making Momo and Setsuna proud like they're keeping smiling and thrilling in a Tokimeki way! Now, what the process I did for this update is that I wanted to go with a special circle group that will bring the influence between Momo and Setsuna due to the fact that Momo had made Setsuna as her idol as mentioned in Red Section-Chapter 74: "The Peach-Haired Lass of Minato Never Gives Up with Her Wisdom: Momo Kashiwada's Birthday". Initially, I wanted to make it a short story like it's a simple welcoming, but ended up getting longer when I wanted to bring some components into the world of idol industry. You know me, I have been participating in a Discord server that focused in NGT48, a girl idol group based in the city of Niigata, Niigata Prefecture, but also, I have followed Love Live! School Idol Project series. As a result, I decided to make this update something that will bloom, gleam and shine for a brand new special circle group that will be created. I'm very fascinated that I can build this update to be more interesting and thrilling, but of course, I wanted to introduce Kanami and her fellow friends that have been very close to Momo and Setsuna to the world of idol industry as a nod that I wanted to bring the influence between them due to Momo being following Setsuna's school idol career and if she came out there to cheer for Setsuna and so do Kanami and her fellow friends. It feels great that I have found this idea more fascinating that I wanted to add something to compose through, but I have to say that this will make me feel cherished that Momo will have some of her close friends that have been fascinated to follow that kind of culture, which was indeed true. Hopefully, I'll try to bring up some more ideas to ensure that you'll get some ideas what they have interested into while keeping their rainbow hearts to follow them like they're ready to let them fly for sure! That's why in the world of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts, there are a lot of thrills that they can cherish and enjoy and bring the fascination to get their dreams that they'll build along!

After all I have been working on this for nearly a week, it's finally posted as I have been struggling in making some ideas to compose while wasting my time management, but it's finally here before our very eyes! I apologize that I can't actually finish it in the original schedule because it's another heavy week that I have to prioritize with through the online school classes and outputs that I have to work on, but thankfully, it's all good that I have posted it on a weekend to ensure that I don't want to get in trouble in having issues with my time management again. However, I have a feeling that I should take a long preparation on some updates that are big to ensure that I'll be enhancing on posting this as early as possible, but I have to make some decisions on when I'll be posting for every week if any date is important or not. I'll try to make sure that I have finished working on the draft before it will actually be posted on the right time as long as I don't want to get conflicted with the schedule within my online school. Now, as you have enjoyed reading this update, I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that in a few days, we'll be entering the month of February to actually kick off the Year of the Emeralds and Peaches, which will be featuring the bravehearts that they have showed their generosity and solidarity in building a perfect dream world from their rainbow hearts that they have throbbed. It will be started on January 31 (Wednesday), the birthday of Miyu Kubota, the seiyu of Karin Asaka, with the first update focused on Ai Miyashita (CV. Natsumi Murakami) where she and Erika Fujimi of the Bravehearts of Kōtō will be meeting with one another in building an agreement to shake things up on their friendship to be developed more as part of Side Sunrise, though, the remainder of it will expect to be posted by around May to June 2024. However, the actual kickoff will be the start of Side Verdant, starting with the first update focused on Chiya Takimoto and her friends from the Verdant Frontier, which will be posted on February 3 (Saturday). After that, it will be two major updates to be posted in the first week of February featuring Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide) on the day after birthday (Monday) on February 6 (Tuesday) and Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club from Link! Like! Love Live! on its first anniversary of their formation on February 10 (Saturday), which will also be celebrated as Chinese New Year. I hope that you're all excited to see something fascinating and thrilling to count on them because it will be marvelous that you're about to fascinate them through their rainbow hearts that you'll make them cherished and uplifted because they're about to bring their colorful smiles to bloom, prosper and shine just for you! Unfortunately, the bad news is a devastating one for Love Live! fans across Anime-Sharing Community and beyond. The mobile game Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE! will release its global version by next month, but its service will about to end starting with its Japanese version in March 2024 and then, its global version in May 2024. I know that this one is going to work out after delays happened when trying to release its global version, but it feels like it didn't fulfill as expected with the services going to end in a few months before our very eyes. I supposed that this will aim to keep entertaining Love Live! fans to get rewarded for cards and bonuses, which will be great enough to operate smoothly, but Bushiroad had found issues in managing the game where it had brought problems in trying to release it to the entire world. So, I felt disappointed that Love Live! School Idol Festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE! will not expect to last any longer, which will cut short for nearly a year and I hope that they'll have cope out with better plans in order to keep the series more popular for more than 10 years and counting. Hopefully, you'll keep dreaming and believing with the school idols from Love Live! School Idol Project series and we'll always stand up for them to ensure that the dreams will never end with endless thrills coming out to shine all the way to make them proud! That's all I have for the announcements that I made just for you and so, I'll keep you updated on those once we're almost there in reaching the global launch of LLSIF2 in a few days to ensure that you're all informed about what's going to happen on the future of Love Live! School Idol Project series.

Now that these announcements are all made, it's finally about time to kick off a long-term sub-arc, which will be the Year of the Emeralds and Peaches, starting off with the first update featuring Ai Miyashita and Erika Fujimi of the Bravehearts of Kōtō. This one will also be served as an introduction to Side Sunrise, but the remainder will be posted later this year once the first part of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club Movie to be released within months. However, there will be some big points for this sub-arc as Side Vernal will be featuring the bravehearts and dreamers that have been very close to Emma Verde. It will be fantastic that you'll about to dive deeper into this sub-series as it will feature six updates while adding special updates within the month of February including an update that will feature Hasu no Sora and the Bravehearts of Kanazawa in Kanazawa, Ishikawa. I hope that you'll be prepared on those because I have some wonderful ideas that I'll let them cook to ensure that there will be more thrilled to shine them out and make them cherished and delighted to fly with you! For the first update, you'll about to discover the agreement that was made between Ai and Erika for their friendship to be developed through future plans to energize the entire ward of Kōtō, which was their hometown. This is going to be an appreciation update for Ai as this will be more special to cherish and thrill with her as I'll be putting up some thrills to make her admired on her special day that you'll never forget! I'll be more assured that you should be prepared on this because it's all about Ai and her love with her friends in her hometown to ensure that she'll make them feel happy to shout out and smile with her! Hopefully, you'll be all set to kick of a brand new sub-arc for this year as this is where the harmony and serenity shine to make the bravehearts, dreamers and beyond more compassionated and thrilled to count on you! I'll see you on January 31 (Wednesday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

UP NEXT: A Couple of Special Messages from Ayumu Uehara and Shizuku Ōsaka

 

[Sherwin Riga]

A Special Message from Ayumu Uehara

Hi, everyone! This is Ayumu Uehara of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'm here to share about the friendship between Yumi Ichida, Miharu Akiba and Itsumi Shimada. I'm very thrilled that you finally came here to see me again after I have posted a special message about the friendship between Kayoko Ushijima, Miyoko Hayata and my cousin Ayami Miyakawa because I'm going to share something that you'll take a glimpse on the friendship between Yumi, Miharu and Itsumi as they have a wonderful partnership that they have bloomed their community in Minato and Odaiba as they have groomed together in bringing the harmony and cherishment to bless with one another. You'll about to be more excited to get to know about their friendship that they built to ensure that they'll be more comfortable to fly with you as they have showed their rainbow hearts to believe, gleam and shine to cherish their community that they'll always love for! I hope that you'll like this one because this is all about the thrills that you'll enjoy with, so that you'll be able to comfort yourself to bloom, gleam and shine with us through your rainbow hearts! To start things off, Yumi, Miharu and Itsumi have been known with one another as childhood friends that they have showed their thrills to bloom with one another and they have worked together in surprising their community through their marvelous smiles to make them cherished. Their story had started back in their first grade when they meet with one another in the same class and they have bonded with one another through group activities to ensure that they'll bring their thrills to enjoy without missing their bonds that they let them fly. Itsumi had been very close to Yumi because they have been connected through their parents, who have worked together as officemates in operating luxurious hotels and parks. Of course, Miharu had also become thrilled to get along with Yumi and Itsumi for mid-afternoon snacks every Thursday where they have enjoyed blooming with one another to indulge through their colorful smiles. You'll be surprised that Itsumi had been helping Yumi in finishing group projects to pass in flying colors while they have baked a strawberry shortcake for their friends when they welcomed them to their homes occasionally. One thing that you'll find it very intriguing is that they're very known for nature that they loved because they like to take care of the animals to give them the compassion that they made them cherished and they're very ambitious in trying to preserve the environment to save from various issues. They have also used to visit gardens to fascinate the flowers and butterflies before picking up some flower seeds to grow and harvest in their homes, which will be used to take care of them to keep them blooming. That's what I like to see for the three where they have used to get indulged with one another through their activities to ensure that they'll never miss the thrills to let them gleam and they'll be very thrilled enough to cherish them through by cheering them up to prevent them from feeling guilty or anxious. Now, when it comes to their friends that they have groomed, they have been so amazed that they have comforted them through side activities while having more fun to shout out and dive through their smiles. When Yumi and Miharu were invited by Itsumi in her home, they have teamed up with her and her friends from Shimada Bluestar Zone, led by Mitsuko Sugimori, to work on the handicrafts that are so colorful and beautiful, which it had made to a success. Another one is that Kuriko Sagami, a member of the Shimada Bluestar Zone, had assigned the trio to be in charge of making milkshakes for her family business and they sold those to about more than 100 customers in two days, which costed about more than 5,000 yen. It was so nice that they have worked together in giving the friends of Itsumi some thrills that they'll be cherished with, especially that they have developed their friendship greatly as expected. During the gathering that was collaborated by our school idol club and the Bravehearts of Minato, Yumi and Miharu have given Itsumi and her friends some mini notebooks as a token of gratitude for participating in that event and of course, Itsumi had never missed the thrills to get along with most of the members from the Hydrangea Dream Section through night activities around the Tiger's Den Residence. This part was the best moment so far as they have enjoyed indulging with one another through their thrills and they have shared their biggest moments that made cherished all the way. One of the things that I have been proud of is that Itsumi had given me a picture of he, Yumi, Miharu and my cousin Shinako in the hotel entrance and I'm so grateful that she had cherished me to ensure that she's very thrilled to count my cousin in a blooming way! The trio of Yumi, Miharu and Itsumi have also been responsible in bringing the circle of friends of Itsumi by scouting the associates and allies of Itsumi to ensure that they'll be very delighted to count on Itsumi through her magnificent plans, which I'll be watching out on those if she'll be putting up her own show for sure! It's so amazing that Yumi, Miharu and Itsumi have enjoyed their friendship with one another to show that they'll be creating their own dreams to everyone while shining their way to believe, resonate and shine to cherish their community that lead into wonderful dreams to be made for all. I'm sure that you'll be very comfortable to see them getting with one another as members of the Hydrangea Dream Section, but of course, you'll expect to see them bringing the joys that will make you comfortable as they'll be stepping up and shine to bloom everyone through their rainbow hearts that they'll throb in a Tokimeki way! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because it made me feel happy that you have known about their special friendship that they bloomed as you have showed some compassion and thrill when I shared this and of course, I hope that you can keep counting on them in their future appearance because they're ready to believe and shine as they're here to bloom just for you! You have always thrilled yourself to give me a smile and thrill while I had represented for NijiGaku and I'll be happy to cheer for you, so that you'll make yourself compassionated and thrilled through your smile that you'll not gonna miss! Until then, I'll see you next time for another side chapter that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep making your dreams come true, everyone!

A Special Message from Shizuku Ōsaka

Hi, everyone! This is Shizuku Ōsaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I would like to share about the friendship between Shiki Katagami, Kiriko Izumikawa and Kurumi Miyagawa. It's so nice that you have been very thrilled to see another special postscript message from yours truly after I have shared about the friendship between Sachiko Takashima, Suzuka Kuroda and Mai Mitsumune because this time, I'll be sharing about the friendship between Shiki, Kiriko and Kurumi as they have showed their compassion to get along with one another as bravehearts and dreamers while fascinating their community with their marvelous smiles to shine all along. Just like how Ayumu had shared the similar friendship between Yumi Ichida, Miharu Akiba and Itsumi Shimada, you'll about to discover about the friendship of the trio where they have grown with one another as close friends while bringing their cherishment to believe, gleam and shine with my cousin Hinako and Shinako Takanashi, the cousin of my fellow club member Ayumu Uehara. I'm very delighted that you're going to take a glimpse on this special friendship as they're not only part of the Bravehearts of Minato, but have represented for the Hydrangea Dream Section, thus, you'll be more excited to cherish them when you'll be reading my postscript message just for you! I hope that you'll like it because you'll always be thrilled to get to know about this group and I'll be happy to make you comforted from the bottom of my rainbow heart! Anyway, Shiki, Kiriko and Kurumi have been known with one another to show that they're adopting their thrills to believe, gleam and smile without hesitation as they have enjoyed their friendship since they have been very close to my cousin Hinako and Ayumu's cousin Shinako. Their story on how they began their friendship had been started back in their first year in elementary school where they have used to get along with Shinako and Hinako for group lunch and they made a promise that they'll be building their friendship together to bloom, gleam and shine for their marvelous hopes and bountiful dreams to be fulfilled. At the time, Kurumi had been taking care of her younger sister and fellow braveheart Fuyumi at her home while their parents are out to work for almost a week and of course, it was both Shiki and Kiriko have been responsible in taking care of them at Shiki's house. They have stayed together for almost a week before Kurumi and Fuyumi were called out by their parents to come back home and spend the rest of the day with them. As a result, they have started to develop their friendship by helping with one another in finishing their assignments while grooming together in making excitement and thrill that they'll never miss. They have also become interested in watching Japanese drama, drawing sketches of anime characters and visiting anime merchandise stores to buy the goods that they can treasure. You'll also be more thrilled that they have also been involved in helping their community being prospered and harmonized by stepping up and shine through their prestigious auras that they have showed all the way to believe, resonate and smile. When they were called by Shinako and Hinako for community activities, they were used to get along with one another to ensure that they're going to cherish their community together by the way of entertaining. It's so amazing that they have shouted out and empowered with them to bring the harmony and solidarity to cherish everyone like they have never missed their thrills for sure! Later, when the Bravehearts of Minato have been formed, Shinako and Hinako have finally invited them to become associates where they're helping them in working on some magnificent plans to bloom, gleam and shine and they're very responsible in orchestrating the preparations for the gathering that was collaborated by our school idol club and the Bravehearts of Minato. It would be blooming to see Shiki, Kiriko and Kurumi have been stepping up to put up the event coming out to life with their marvelous plans and they have executed perfectly with the guests have been very delighted to enjoy the event all throughout. You'll also be more thrilling that Kurumi had invited Fuyumi to take part of the party, which leads to Fuyumi affirming her decision of joining the Bravehearts of Minato due to her being part of the Hanzōsen Elementary School girls' basketball team as one of their new members. When I saw the four getting along with one another, I'm so happy that they have put up their own thrills to satisfy with one another to make their thrills being prospered and harmonized all the way to keep their smiles blooming in a gleaming way! Now, when the expansion of the Bravehearts of Minato have finally happened with new members joining through different methods including creating a special circle group, which my cousin Hinako and Shinako have called out their close friends that they're very special to them in forming the Hydrangea Dream Section. While Shiki and Kiriko were joined by Yumi, Miharu and Rumi Suzukawa to become the first members to join, Kurumi had ended up joining by accepting an offer from Shiki to become a full member of that new special circle group. Kurumi had enjoyed getting along with Shiki and Kiriko for more than 5 years as they have showed their smiles and thrills to bloom their community in Odaiba while bringing their new connections from the inside to cherish them through their rainbow hearts. In addition to that, Kurumi would finally reunite with her younger sister Fuyumi as members of the Bravehearts of Minato, allowing them to work together on their future plans that they'll find them thrilling and with the help of Shiki and Kiriko, they'll never miss the thrills that they'll let them shine like they're here to cheer for all. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that Shiki and Kiriko have groomed the friends of Kurumi by learning to become dreamers through teambuilding and active participation in the events that were organized by the Bravehearts of Minato. This is where Tsuru Kawashima, Akiyo Hikosaka, Miyuki Maeshima and Airi Hirashita have showed their thrills to count with them in order to become friends with them like they don't want to miss their thrills to get cherished and admired by their marvelous smiles. It feels so great that Kurumi had been very exhilarated that they have worked together to ensure that they're opening a new friendship to bloom while showing their rainbow hearts to cherish, gleam and throb in a Tokimeki way to dream as bravehearts and dreamers. I'm very delighted that the trio had showed their colorful smiles to work together for their friendship to bloom for a long time and they have ended up joining the Bravehearts of Minato by representing the Hydrangea Dream Section, thus, they'll be assured that they're ready to step up and shine to make everyone more comfortable in believing and chasing their dreams that will make them cherished from the bottom of their rainbow hearts. I'm sure that they'll be very compassionated with their smiles from the inside to keep growing their friendship and so, you'll watch out on them to ensure that they'll be very optimistic to cheer for you like they'll be making you comfortable to fly with you for sure! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because it made me feel cherished that you have already showed your thrills to indulge them, thus, you'll be very thrilled to see them showing their rainbow smile to believe and shine to make sure that they'll be ready to cheer for you with one thrill to gleam! I'm very happy that you had admired me alongside the rest of NijiGaku with your smile and I hope that you'll always be thrilled to count on us, so that we'll be giving you a smile that you'll admire the most! Until then, I'll see you next time when we'll meet each other again in a future update that will feature me and my fellow club members of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep your smile to make you comfortable, everyone!

Hi, everyone! I know that this was supposedly today's update that will be focused on Ai Miyashita (CV. Natsumi Murakami) of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, but the problem is that I have been focused on completing the seiyu updates, which was finally done last night to ensure that it will be updated at the latest window of animation series, which is currently Winter 2024. However, I'll be planning to add some information for the animation released that I have followed last year if there's a window that I can do right after the second term of my second year in online school ends as long as I'll try my best to pass all subjects as soon as possible. So, hopefully, I'll dive deeper more into the animation releases that I followed to ensure that I'll be very thrilled in including them into my worldbuilding of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts in the future. As a result, I decided to move the update within two days from January 31 (Wednesday) to February 3 (Saturday) to ensure that I'll finally have time to finish those within tomorrow before finalizing those to post as early as possible. Of course, it will also allow me to start preparing on the two biggest updates for the month of February, which will be a special update to kick off Side Vernal on February 6 (Tuesday) and the first anniversary update of Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club from Link! Like! Love Live! on February 10 (Saturday). This means, it will finally kick off the Year of the Emeralds and Peaches within a few days to ensure that you're about to bloom, gleam and shine with them through their rainbow hearts that they'll make you cherished through your rainbow hearts that will fascinate them! I apologize that I have been very busy with some other stuff that is very important, but hopefully, I'll try to make sure that I'm on the right track to post those on the right place and the right time. Instead of a major update, I'll be giving you two postscript messages from the members of NijiGaku in Karin Asaka (CV. Miyu Kubota) and Emma Verde (CV. Maria Sashide). You'll be surprised to get to know about what they'll be sharing about in connection to their friends and allies on their side to ensure that they'll be very comfortable to cherish, gleam and shine with them like they're here to cheer for them! So, sit back, relax and enjoy reading those special postscript messages and I'll see you on February 3 (Saturday) for the next update of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts!

A Special Message from Karin Asaka

Hi, everyone! This is Karin Asaka of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'm here to share about my relatives that have joined the braveheart groups in my neighborhood including the Bravehearts of Minato and the Bravehearts of Kōtō. I'm very compassionated that you came here to see me sharing another postscript message ever since that I have shared about the connection between the leading girls of the braveheart groups in the city of Saitama and the two school idol groups, us and Aqours because this time, it's going to be a special postscript message from yours truly as I'll be sharing about my relatives that have joined the bravheart groups around my community and beyond. Now, it's so nice that you came here to read this update right now because yesterday (January 31) was the birthday of the seiyu that voiced me, Miyu Kubota, which is why I'm so delighted that you have gleamed for her to make sure that she'll not lose her smile that she'll always do just for you! So, thank you very much for those who have appreciated her on her birthday and I hope that you'll always follow her heart and stay compassionated to make her cheerful that she'll always shine with her dazzling voice that she put up! As I was saying, I'm going to share everything about my cousins that they have joined the braveheart groups in my neighborhood where you'll about to dive deeper into them on who they have ended up joining through different methods whether they're close to them or being acquaintance with its main members. Also, there will be some spoilers coming from the storylines of Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS and the anime adaption of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as well as some coincidence from various animation series and so, be warned about this because they'll expect to appear in the future updates of Rooks, Knights and Bravehearts or they could end up making their first appearance very soon. I'm sure that this one will be very special that you'll make Miyu cherished and thrilled and so, you're all thrilled to take a glimpse into those in a marvelous way! I hope that you'll like this because you'll be more excited to see their secrets that they didn't reveal before and it would be great enough to cherish them through your rainbow heart to ensure that they'll be more delighted to bloom you in a dazzling way that you'll always expect! Now, when I had joined NijiGaku, I used to groom my friends that they have been dreaming for opportunity and determination to ensure that they'll get whatever they want by following their rainbow hearts and believe in themselves. That's what school idols used to show that we're comforting them more of a thrill to surprise them and of course, I became more motivated to help them growing their dreams to make them fulfilled without a doubt. In the Bravehearts of Minato, you have been very familiar with Hatsuko Fukuhara from my maternal side as she had been very ambitious and sweet to show everyone some thrills that made them feel compassionated. Of course, she's my most favorite cousin that I have seen as she's always bright like Ayumu, but more cared just like yours truly, thus, she had been leading a chapter for her school in Taigawa through the Starlight Dawn Jasmine. Meanwhile, I have another cousin that ended up joining the Bravehearts of Minato was none other than Yurie Taguchi as she had been following Ruriko Hosoda being her admirer before she had decided to hang out with her for months to develop their friendship. Ruriko had invited Yurie to join the Bravehearts of Minato by being part of Indigo Dream Zone, which is composed of those that they have been very close to me and Ruriko while they're in the second year high school level. That's what I like to see for her as she'll expect to develop her friendship with her fellow friends on her side to ensure that she'll be very comfortable to bloom, gleam and shine for her community that she'll make them prospered and harmonized. Heading through the ward of Kōtō, they're Miyuki Iwama and Kiyomi Mukaida as they have showed their marvelous smiles to bring the fascination and harmony to their community in Etchujima. They have also been involved in helping Emiko Kishida and Shuko Matsunami in bigger activities that are more hyped to watch and of course, they used to hang out with them for live performances of various idol groups including us. They're not always coming out to believe, gleam and shine to be with them, but they have their own dreams that they have flourished for their community as they want to lead their way to convince everyone to start creating their own dreams and bloom their thrills to make them delighted that they're counting on them after all. Now, these relatives in my neighborhood have been very capable of making early decisions on any situation to ensure that they'll execute those as usual, thus, they're very comfortable that they have ben satisfied in their friendship with their friends from their respective braveheart groups and they'll never back them down to show that they'll be delivering them the biggest smiles to let them fly. The next one is coming from the ward of Toshima where a few of my cousins were there to cooperate with the Bravehearts of Toshima, led by Reo Ishimura, composed of Masatomo Kijima and Asako Sumikawa. They're used to be friends with Mieko Okubo, one of the main members of the Bravehearts of Toshima while being a first year middle school student from the Kamitaiyō Gakuen Middle School, and they have showed their positivity to create perfect teamwork to harmonize their community. They have also become involved in teaming up with the school idols from the Chitose Bridge High School where they held stage plays to impress everyone through their acting skills and they have worked hard in building their reputation of becoming the future stars that will align all day long. It's so amazing that they have found their own progress that they have put up to ensure that they'll be recognized by their community as long as they're all here to believe, resonate and smile. Last but not the least, there are some of my relatives that are coming from the ward of Nakano, composed of Ikumi Yamase and Saaya Kawakatsu. They have been part of the Yamase clan that my father's relatives lived and they have been very known for using monochrome colors to show that they're shy, but pure enough to beleive in their dreams. Just like my relatives in Kōtō, they're more focused in building their partnership with the Bravehearts of Nakano and they have never lost their confidence all throughout that they'll be more comfortable to count on their dreams and make them cherished through teambuilding. One thing that you'll find it coincidental is that Saaya was one of the members of the Highlight Glare, one of the mainstream groups of the Braveharts of Nakano that was composed of the classmates of Miyaka Yanagawa, thus, Saaya had decided to recruit Ikumi because she had an experience of being close to Miyaka for more than five years since childhood days back in Chuo 5-chome. Saaya and Ikumi have a sister friendship due to them being relatives within the Yamase clan and they have been very thrilled to shout out and shine with their fellow bravehearts to ensure that they'll be building a wonderful dream that they'll let them gleam and sparkle beautifully. Later on, they would be involved in trying to recruit Yahiro Yashida, a well-known idol that had inspired Ruby Hoshino, and it had been successful as Yahiro had decided to take part of the activities for the Bravehearts of Nakano in exchange of not mentoring anyone about the dark side of Aqua Hoshino. It's going to be thrilling to see Yahiro trying to be a peacemaker at all means to keep them in the same page as long as they agree with the plans that they have promised. And one side note, both Ikumi and Saaya are well-known supporters of trying to embrace the idol culture in Nakano, thanks to Miyaka and Yahiro have shared their interests of following idols, though, Miyaka had wanted to focus in psychological studies once reaching college. It's definitely fantastic that my relatives have been very ambitious in trying to embrace the world of braveheart group system to ensure that they'll be more comfortable to cherish, gleam and thrill with them and to make their dreams come true while showing their marvelous smiles to believe, resonate and smile. You'll never let them down through your rainbow heart to comfort them because they'll be ready to shout out and fly with you to ensure that you'll be very compassionated to thrill them like you're making them your oshi that you inspired! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because you have been thrilled to know about this beautiful connection and so, you'll be very grateful to gleam, dazzle and prosper with them to ensure that they'll fascinate together to prosper their friendship and they'll always be compassionated to believe and shine while energizing everyone for sure! Anyway, before I'll close out this special message, once again, thank you very much for making Miyu more marvelous that she had a beautiful day to celebrate her birthday and I hope that you'll keep watching out on her like she's ready to dazzle, admire and smile through her rainbow heart! I'll always count on you to ensure that you'll be comforted to cherish me and my fellow club members to make us proud! You have been too kind to show your smiles to count on anything that is thrilling and of course, the thrills will never end to make sure that all your dreams will come true beautifully! Until then, I'll see you next time on a future update that will feature me and the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and keep shining without letting yourself down to believe, everyone!

A Special Message from Emma Verde

Hi, everyone! This is Emma Verde of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and I'll be sharing about the Illuminating Verdant, one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, consisting of the friends of my good friend of mine in Yōko Matsushima. I'm so happy that you're all here to bloom, gleam and shine with me because it's so nice that you have put up your thrills to prosper through your rainbow hearts and it's so great that you kept counting on us all along, which I'm so proud of you that you never back us down in a cherished way! For today, I'll be sharing about a group of friends that they have been very known to be friends with Yōko Matsushima in the Illuminating Verdant as they're one of the most common friend groups in the southern area of Minato with their empowerment being paid off to ensure that they'll be bringing some thrills to everyone that they made them cherished and thrilled. You'll about to get to know about their connection with Yōko as well as how they have been involved in shining their community through their wonderful ambitions that will make them prospered and thrilled to bloom for you! You'll also be very thrilled on how they have ended up being jubilant in following my school idol career with the help of Yōko when she's trying to introduce them to me in building our friendship with one another as it would be! I hope that you'll like this one because you're about to gleam yourself to get to know about our dream plans that will gleam and thrill our hometown and you'll be ready to shout out and shine through your rainbow heart to ensure that we'll bloom together with our smiles that we'll never miss for sure! Anyway, the Illuminating Verdant had been very active and popular in the community groups in the southern area of Minato being one of the mainstream groups of the Bravehearts of Takanawa, representing for Yōko Matsushima. This group was led by Shiori Kameda and notable members include Saya Matsumoto, Yae Mitsuda, Misato Wakatsuka, Keiko Hashiratani, Mizue Iwase, Motomu Asanuma and Shinnosuke Murano. They started building this group back in the sixth grade where Yōko and her friends have been meeting with her fellow bravehearts at her home in settling up a new group that will represent for her and of course, they have organized their first activity in a co-habitation where they cooked some vegetarian tonkatsu with vegetables being brought from her family. It's so amazing that they have worked together to deliver the thrills that they'll ever enjoy while developing their friendship as easy as the flowers bloom quickly in the morning. One of the things that you should also know is that they're responsible in allowing the Bravehearts of Takanawa to permanently use the Matsushima Residence as its main residence, thus, they'll be staying together in bringing the blooms and smiles to let them fly. That's why Yōko had entrusted her fellow friends to work with them for making decisions just like how they did for the beautification committee of the Takanawa Seigyo Elementary and Middle Schools in the past two years and it had been paid off that their decisions have been fulfilled to satisfy both parties in a gleaming way. Sometimes, they would also be involved in getting along with the close friends of Yōko for community activities in Mita where they have shined them through showcasing their talents to dazzle and fascinate, thus, it had been considered more thrilling for the community to believe in them through their dreams that they built. For example, they teamed up with Iruka Fukagawa (the leader of the Matsuzaka Red Herons) and Ayako Kino for the designing of flower festival during the summer, which they have been working with one another to cherish, enlighten and delight everyone through their rainbow hearts that they never miss. You'll also be thrilled that they have pushed their plans in building their own expansion group where they have invited those that they have been very close to Yōko to ensure that they'll be shining together in making their dreams come true. It's stupendous that they have been showing their pride and compassion that they have showed up because they have bloomed them to keep them dreaming and believing to comfort everyone like they're ready to cheer up without hesitation as it would be. Now, there's also an important thing that you should defintiely know is that they have been very delighted to follow my school idol career they have shouted out and smiled through their rainbow hearts for me when I have performed my song 'La Bella Patria', which they have been so jubilant that they have been satisfied with my performance their smiles from the inside. We have a lot of history with one another when we have showed up to enlighten and shine through our thrills to embrace the happiness that they'll always be satisfied for as friends and dreamers One time, we collaborated with the Bravehearts of Takanawa in opening the garden that was built by a member of the Illuminating Verdant in Eri Akiyama (the cousin of Mahiro Hayakawa). We spend some indulgence with one another to show that they'll be very comfortable to excite and thrill in making our memories possible. Also, we have given both Azuki Sakai and Maika Tokuyama their opportunities to create their own dreams after they have joined the Bravehearts of Takanawa where they'll be very thrilled to shout out and smile just like they're not gonna let their smiles down all the way to keep them cherishing and believing. It's so nice that we have prospered and harmonized with one another through our magnificent plans that we put up on a show to ensure that we'll be making Takanawa more gleaming for their dreams to keep harmonizing and shining to turn them into a reality one day. I'm very grateful that they have never missed the thrills that they have prospered all the way to ensure that they'll be satisfied to comfort everyone and to keep their community being bloomed in a marvelous way to believe and dream. Whenever they have their own dreams to build through their rainbow heart, they'll be assured that they'll keep them throbbing because the friends of Yōko are here to cheer for you to stay comforted and grateful that you'll never forget! I hope that you enjoyed reading this postscript message because you have already known about the Illuminating Verdant and it will be grateful that you're going to cherish them, so that you'll be ready to make yourself comfortable to bloom, gleam and shine with them for their hometown to stay compassionated and thrilled in a cherished way for sure!

SIDE STORY: "RED SECTION STORIES"
CHAPTER 293: "ALL EYES ON THE DIAMONDS TO SPARK FOR A WONDERFUL DREAM!"​

Date: May 12, 2010 (Wednesday)

This side chapter is focused on Ai Miyashita as she and her fellow schoolmates from the general course are meeting with Marika Fujimi and her close friend Yuri Mitsukuri at Monja Miyashita, a monja-yaki restaurant in Monzen-Nakachō. This side chapter was taken place during the first part of the fifth episode of the first season of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

In the streets of Monzen-Nakachō, Marika Fujimi and Yuri Mitsukuri are walking on their way to visit the Monja Miyashita where they're going to have a dinner date to cap off their day. Marika had given a permission from her fellow bravehearts to get along with Yuri as part of her side activities in trying to continue building her connection with her close friends on her side.

"Are you going to meet Ai-san?" asked Yuri Mitsukuri, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a member of the Bravehearts of Kōtō due to her being a close friend of Marika Fujimi while following Ai Miyashita's school idol career.

"Yes, Yuri! It is part of my plans of bringing my influence with my important friends that they have counted on me, especially that Ai and I have been friends since our childhood days. My brother Motomu had been very close to Ai because they're used to be schoolmates in elementary school before separating themselves with Motomu enrolling in Funahashi while Ai transferred to Aosen. Even they're away from one another, they would still be known to be friends without a doubt" said Marika.

"Oh, I see what you're going to tell me about this, Marika-san! It seems that you must be very close to her as a close friend through your brother! I didn't know that this one had turned out to be true!" said Yuri.

"Yes, indeed! There are other close friends of mine that have been very close to Ai such as Wakana Yamamoto, Mayuko Hayakawa and Masaru Shigeta as they're very passionate that they have supported her on her school idol career by witnessing her in her live performance. Of course, she's very known to have friends in our hometown while embracing her friendship circle with the other bravehearts in her neighborhood. For instance, she had been friends with Ayame Murakami, which I'm her companion in our meet-up two months ago and of course, you have guys from the Bravehearts of Takanawa, who have a stronger influence with Ai such as Chiharu Asano and Kana Mitsumori" said Marika.

"Ah, yes, I remember those names! They must have their own thrills to shout out and dive with her, especially that they're very determined to count on her for sure!" said Yuri.

"You got it!" said Marika.

"So, who will be joining with Ai in our meet-up today?" asked Yuri.

"Well, she'll be joined by her 'blood' sister Misato Kawamoto, Mutsumi Aratani and Hinaki Komori. She had also sent Tomari Mayama to the meeting as well as she's very close to her while being involved with the Bravehearts of Kōtō" said Marika.

"Oh, wow! I'm surprised that she had brought her own friends to the meeting! I can't wait to meet them because this is my first time that I want to meet her own circle!" said Yuri.

"Of course, Yuri-san! Everyone knows that Ai had a lot of friends that she always loved to show that she'll make them cherished through her rainbow heart. That's why in Monzen-Nakachō, she's definitely the hometown hero due to her being a school idol that took part of NijiGaku, thus, you'll be more surprised to see her being a cheerful friend in your neighborhood with a big smile on her face" said Marika.

"Yeah, that's exactly how it feels for her to be a thrilling school idol! I'll be ready to make her feel thrilled now that I have been thinking about joining your group!" said Yuri.

"You bet, Yuri-san!" said Marika.

Marika and Yuri would finally reach the restaurant Monja Miyashita as they saw a lot of people visiting that place to eat some delicious dishes, especially that its specialty is pork dishes with teriyaki sauce on.

"There it is, Yuri-san!" said Marika.

"Ah, I never seen that place before, Marika-san, but I guess that this will be my first thrill to be there!" said Yuri.

"Yes, you are! Hopefully, you'll be very thrilled to meet Ai because she's definitely the best cook in her place!" said Marika.

"Yeah, you're right!" said Yuri.

Marika and Yuri would finally enter the Monja Miyashita as they're trying to look for Ai at the counter. This is when Yuki Kuribayashi, the boyfriend of Ai, came out to greet them.

"Welcome to Monja Miyashita! How can I help you?" greeted Yuki Kuribayashi, a second year high school student from the Aosen High School and the boyfriend of Ai Miyashita. He had an older sister Momoka and younger brothers Yuma, Koya and Masazumi.

"We want to see Ai-san. Have you seen her?" queried Marika.

"Oh, she's just resting at the kitchen after finished her day in NijiGaku. Why are you here?" answered Yuki.

"Uh… we reserve a table for a meeting with her for a partnership to be settled" said Marika.

"Yeah, Ai told us that this is part of the plan where she wanted to influence with anyone on her side that followed her school idol career" said Yuri.

"Oh, why you didn't say so? I'll call her, okay?" replied Yuki.

"Okay!" said Marika and Yuri while seeing Yuki heading into the kitchen to talk to Ai.

A few seconds later, Ai comes out from the kitchen before greeting Marika and Yuri with a big smile.

"Hi, Marimari! Hi, Yuriyuri! Welcome to Monja Miyashita!" greeted Ai.

"Hi, Ai-san!" replied Marika and Yuri.

"Well, it's a beautiful day that I have been fascinated to see you and I'm just getting eccentric about what to do today!" said Ai.

"You know, we're trying to hold a meeting with you, regarding the agreement between you and me, Ai-san" said Marika.

"We're trying to improve your reputation of being a school idol while representing NijiGaku" said Yuri.

"Oh, that's good! I have some of my selected friends coming out into your table and they're waiting for you. So, why not accompany you to them?" said Ai.

"Sure!" said Marika.

"Got it!" added Yuri.

Ai would accompany Marika and Yuri to the Table #8 where it was occupied by Tomari Mayama (a close friend of Ai Miyashita while leading the Sunshine March), Megumi Nishikawa, Ai's 'blood' sister Misato Kawamoto, Mutsumi Aratani and Hinaki Komori. Both Tomari and Megumi have been interested of joining the Bravehearts of Kōtō after they have been involved into their activities over the past few weeks where they're used to help both Marika and Shunichi Oikawa in cherishing and fascinating their hometown.

"Ah, if it isn't Marika Fujimi! I'm glad that we meet each other again!" said Tomari Mayama, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a close friend of Ai Miyashita.

"We meet each other before in the gathering for the formation of your circle of friends, Mari!" said Megumi Nishikawa, a first year middle school student from the Funahashi Middle School and a close friend of Ai Miyashita.

"Yeah! This is where we have showed your rainbow hearts to let them fly and we're assured that we're going to dream together to make our hometown being prospered and harmonized with excitement!" said Marika.

"Of course!" said Tomari.

"You bet!" said Megumi.

"I know the two of you! You must be following Ai-san as well!" said Yuri.

"Yeah!" said Tomari and Megumi.

"Ai-san had never back down through her rainbow heart to make us comforted and she'll never disappoint us for real!" said Tomari.

"She's always compassionated to bring the harmony and serenity to fascinate in a marvelous way and so, we're very motivated that we have worshipped her to ensure that she'll be more grateful to keep counting on us!" said Megumi.

"That's so awesome! I have been a friend of both Marika and Ai, thus, I'm so comfortable that we're going to become together in the group that we'll represent as dreamers and bravehearts!" said Yuri.

"Yeah!" said Tomari and Megumi.

"Both Tomari and Megumi have been very delighted that they have enjoyed participating in your activities while being fascinated on the formation of your circle of friends with the Cerise and Diamond, thus, they're very interested to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō because they want to step up and shine with you!" said Ai.

"You got that right, Ai! We believe that those two have been very optimistic in making friends with you and your fellow friends while aiming to bring the reputation of the school idol career of Ai to the next level" said Misato Kawamoto, the 'blood sister' of Ai Miyashita, a first year college student from the Keio University.

"We believe that we can elevate this to the next level as long as we're going to keep cherishing Ai for our thrills to be prospered and harmonized" said Mutsumi Aratani, a second year middle school from the Nijigasaki Academy High School, being listed in the general course.

"Exactly! We'll be assured that we're going to bring more friends that they have been very close to Ai to join the Bravehearts of Kōtō to ensure that they'll be ready to step up and shine through their rainbow hearts to let them throb!" said Hinaki Komori, a second year middle school from the Nijigasaki Academy High School, being listed in the general course.

"Ah, I see that point, girls! I like that idea of adding those who have been very close to Ai to the Bravehearts of Kōtō, but it requires the approval from the recruitment committee, led by Kotoko Hachiuma. While I'm co-leading with Emiko Kishida in the music committee, I'm here to scout new members to let them know that they'll be interested to join our group" said Marika.

"Ooh! This looks good!" said Misato.

"I like this one!" said Mutsumi.

"This is going to be cool!" said Hinaki.

"Well, I'm very interested into this because like I love to see people trying to recruit my followers into different groups and it had been paid off big time! I'm also grooming some of the dreamers from various areas including Minato, Takanawa and Odaiba to show that they're about to bring their thrills to fascinate and smile. Now that you have found your thrills to bring plans for our friendship, then, we should start this by accepting new members and create new plans that we need!" said Ai.

"You got it!" said Marika.
