Yu: *adjusts camera and backs up* Hello Everyone! Today I would like to introduce you to the School Idol Club of Nijigasaki High School in Odaiba! Say hello guys!
*The girls wave and cheer hello*
Yu: My name is Yu Takasaki. I'm the composer for the club. Let's start off by introducing each school idol! Starting with…. Ayumu!
*Ayumu comes up to the front*
Ayumu: H-Hello! My name is Ayumu Uehara… I'm a newer member of the club, but I aspire to do my best and spread my feelings across as a school idol! *bows*
Yu: Amazing intro Ayumu! Next is–
Kasumi: ME! * shoves Yu out of view* Yu-senpai! I was hoping you would choose me first!
Yu: Sorry… Go ahead, Kasumi-chan.
Kasumi: My name is Kasumin Nakasu! Call me Kasumin! I'm the president of the school idol club, and I make sure my friends are looking their cutest! Kasumin wants to be the cutest school Idol of all time, so I hope you support me!
Yu: Nice, Kasumi-chan! Those were some cute poses…
Kasumi: Ehehe
Yu: Karin-senpai? Want to go next?
Karin: Fufu, sure. Hello, everyone… I'm Karin Asaka. I'm a model, so you might know me. It may have surprised you that I'm in this video, if that's the case. I joined the school idol club because… *voice trails off* Well, um, believe it or not, but I wanted to become more confident in myself. *Karin regains her composure* I also use this opportunity to become a greater and better influence to you all. I hope you'll support me~ *blows kiss*
Yu: Amazing as always, Karin-senpai, next… Shizuku-chan!
Shizuku: *dramatic entrance* Good day, fellow citizens. For it is I, the great school idol of Niji High, Shizuku Osaka! *she enters a cool pose* I will use my talents of acting and choreography to put on the greatest show you have ever seen!
*everyone claps for Shizuku*
Kasumi: Woah, that was awesome, Shizuko!
Ayumu: Yeah, that was cool!
Shizuku: Why, thank you. I do try.
Yu: Up next, the one and only… Kanata Konoe!
*kanata is sleeping*
Yu: …Who just so happens to be asleep. *giggles*
Kanata: zzzz… I'm awake, actually~
*Kanata stands up and approaches the video camera.*
Kanata: Hello, I'm Kanata Konoe. Despite being sleepy all the time, I put all my effort into being a school idol and helping my family. My little sister is a school idol too, at Shinonome Academy…~
*Kanata yawns and heads back to the table*
Yu: All right! Next, Setsuna-chan!
Setsuna: Yay! Hello everyone, I'm Setsuna Yuki. My dream was to be a school idol, and now I'm living my best dream! By being a school idol, I feel like I can do anything! And with my friends going every step of the way, We're unstoppable! *fists hands in the air* Please check us out!
Yu: Enthusiastic as always, Setsuna-chan, love it! Next up, it's Rina!
Rina: …
Yu: Rina-chan, you can do it!
Rina: Hello, I'm Rina Tennoji. I-I'm a school idol. I have trouble expressing my emotions, so… *she pulls out a smiling Rina-chan Board* I use this Rina-chan board to help me. I make sure to put in lots of effort into my live shows, and I will keep doing my best. Rina-chan board… fired up!
*clapping*
**fast forward**
Yu: …and that's our introduction! Ok, before we end this video.. There's something I'd like to mention that today's school idol fans dread to hear about.
*Yu glances towards an old poster of Muse.*
Yu: There are rumors that have been going around since.. *hesitation* the School Idol Disaster of 2003. I've heard many classmates say something like, "being a school idol will curse you!" and during the formation of our club, many students have looked at us with pity or concern, some even looking down on us, because they think what happened 2 years ago is gonna happen to us. Well, I don't think so. We, the Nijigasaki School Idol Club, plan to give it our all on stage, as well as to prove all those rumors and the people who have dismissed us wrong! I mean come on! Do you think *she'll* be happy to hear about all those rumors? Just let her rest in peace, all right?
*Yu starts to tear up as the others rush over and stop the recording.*
Ayumu: Yu-chan…
Yu: Sorry, I messed up. Anytime I think about it, I just-
Ai: Yuyu, don't cry, we understand!
Setsuna: We can redo that part again, no worries!
Kasumi: You know, it's still hard to believe that was two years ago. I saw it all go down on live TV. It was terrifying.
Karin: Mhm. Wonder how the rest of them are doing right now, it was a traumatic experience for them, especially her two closest friends. Kotori and Umi, right? I feel so sorry for them.
Yu: …Honoka had to end her life that day, huh?
