Notes: I'm putting a disclaimer here because I forgot about it a while ago. I don't own Digimon or the music. I even found the translations online so don't bother suing me for anything. As for this chapter, it has two songs for Miyako. Well, I wouldn't consider the second one a song. "Crash de Bingo" or "Crash with Bingo" is a lot better than it sounds. As for "Yamato Nadeshiko Panic" or "The Panice of a Japanese Woman"... Let's just say that it ranks near the bottom of songs I don't really enjoy. The best I can put it is that it's annoying yet hyper.


~MIYAKO~

I smirked as Ixen shrugged and played the first track. He leaned back in his seat and let the beat flow. His goggles slid over his eyes and no one bothered him. Ken eagerly listened and Iori respectfully had the digimon sit. The others were trying to be as encouraging as possible.

I was glad to be right after Daisuke. If I was near the end, I would have been too nervous to even get up onstage alone. I really didn't want to be last though because then I would probably be the best remembered.

Even if I'm making a fuss, it won't start but I'll call for selfishness, trouble, and panic. No one knows my true face. If my eyes that you saw over my glasses can accept it without looking away, then Bingo, Bingo!

I looked on the screen that was connected to the camera. There was a glare over my glasses and I smiled brightly.

My head crashes and burns without relying on tears. My eyes flash and shine. I want to make tomorrow. My head crashes and burns. I'd like myself to be bold. Even if my heart freezes, it's not amusing just to be cute.

There was a whole lot that I wanted to do. I couldn't sit still if I knew that something had to be done. None of liked to be on the sidelines all of the time.

Even machines have hearts. If they are handled by inorganics, I'd look away. No one notices my true feelings. If I take off my glasses with my eyes closed, I'll believe in myself and Bingo, Bingo!

The digimon were alive. We couldn't treat them as subordinates. Hawkmon was my friend too. It wasn't just a game we played.

My head crashes and burns, without forgetting the pounding in my chest. My eyes flash and shine. I want to grasp onto the future. My head crashes and burns. I'd like to be myself. Even if my heart freezes, I won't settle with pretty things.

I took a deep breath. "Digtal Gate, open! Chosen Children, go!"

My head crashes and burns without relying on tears. My eyes flash and shine. I want to make tomorrow. My head crashes and burns. I'd like myself to be bold. Even if my heart freezes, it's not amusing just to be cute.

Daisuke smirked at me. "Sometimes I really do think that you're a robot."

Takeru chuckled. "I don't think so, Daisuke. Look at Ixen." He pointed over to the redhead who was intensely focused on a disk. The boy was just staring at it without moving. Everyone else was trying to get Ixen to respond to them.


Ken shook his head. "Iori, can you please start the second track?"

Iori smiled. "Do your best, Miyako."

There is a panic rising in the chest of this Japanese woman. I want to be a pure, proper, and beautiful Japanese woman.

Ixen shook his head and turned his attention to his show. He sat back and gave me a smirk as I performed the song.

This is the first time that I've felt gentle. I want to trust someone with this present and tell. Just tear away the wrapping. Okay! Let's go quickly.

I took a deep breath and kept going.

But I'm just a panicking Japanese woman. I want to be a pure, proper, and beautiful Japanese woman.

I wanted to be able to be calm. There were aspects of myself that I wanted to be able to control. Hikari and I wanted to try our best to be like each other to make ourselves better. I wanted to learn to be like her somehow.

While my shaking heart is confused because the chance I asked for is far away. If I comb out my long hair… Hey! Now I'll try to reach you.

I took another deep breath. It was really fast paced.

It's bad but why am I a panicking Japanese woman? Someone hold this panicking Japanese woman. The ups and downs are still stopped and I have to gather my courage and do my best.

There was a long pause and I smiled at the audience. My family was holding back their laughter but I didn't mind. Ken gave me an encouraging smile. Everyone else wanted me to keep going.

But I'm just a panicking Japanese woman. There is a panic rising in the chest of this Japanese woman. This box is full of my important thoughts. I have too many so take some with you please.

Ixen applauded me. "This has been better than I expected so far." He turned to Iori. "You're up."

I came down from the stage and gave the young boy an encouraging smile. "You'll be fine."

He looked at the crowd seriously. "I know but I'm the youngest out of the Digidestined."

"That didn't stop Takeru!" Ixen smirked as the blonde looked in his direction. "Just do what you think is right."
