- The gentle song that changes the world
- Final Chapter: The Song Ai Delivered!
- ---
- A single life is born
- We both hold hands and feel joy
- We're lucky to be so blessed
- Give our thanks to Mother Earth
- ---
- Mai-san!!
- Mai-san is the best!!
- Wow... This applause is so loud, huh
- The mood in the venue has changed completely from how it was
- As expected of Mai-san
- How does Ai look?
- She seems to have been overwhelmed and frozen up...
- I don't blame her...
- It looks like the TV audience is firmly behind Mai-san as well
- Huh? What does that mean?
- ---
- ALIVE was originally Mai-san's song, so if she was going to be the headliner, Mai-san would normally perform later
- I didn't consider she might appear first in order to dampen Ai's spirits
- Ai is at a big disadvantage now
- Well... About that
- I don't think she's at a disadvantage
- For Ai-chan, I don't see why this can't be Ai-chan's big chance to grow
- ---
- Against this tremendous pressure, she can falter, or she can sing even better than Mai-san did
- Whichever happens will depend on everything Ai-chan has experienced so far
- I believe
- In Ai-chan's strength!!
- ...What do I do
- I can't stop trembling...
- Mama was really incredible
- Everyone in the audience is only looking at Mama
- ---
- If I want to make a comeback, I need to take this chance to make my song and dance better
- This contest isn't against a normal opponent
- Do I really have to sing after this?
- I don't even know the right way to sing yet, do I?
- Why does it feel like the air in the venue got colder
- What do I do when everyone has already been dazzled
- I'm scared...
- I'm scared!
- ---
- Hey, hey... Don't you think Ai-chan seems a little strange?
- Yeah, I noticed, too...
- Did she start hanging her head suddenly...?
- (Mai-san!!)
- (So cool!!)
- My turn...
- My turn
- ---
- I have to hurry and start singing...
- But what do I do
- My voice won't come out...
- What is it?
- Do your part, Ai
- ---
- ...Ah
- Ai-chan...!
- Please hurry and start singing
- Ha...
- It's fine... I'll sing the rest of it
- Don't stand here any longer, just go!
- ---
- Don't give up, Ai-chan
- Sing!!
- Sing!!
- ---
- Haruka-san!?
- It'll be alright!!
- Do your best, Ai-chan!!
- Everyone came here for me...!?
- ---
- Yahoo, everyone is here
- Miki-sempai... You were the first amazing idol sempai I competed with...
- Yukiho-sempai... You were someone who encouraged me very gently
- I'm sorry... Coming here...
- You looked gloomy so we came to cheer for you!
- Haruka-san... You were the benefactor who made my idol debut possible...
- Cheerful and energetic
- I want to see that kind of Ai-chan having fun singing
- ---
- That's right... All the different people that I've met...
- They all have their own personalities
- But not only that
- They're all shining in their own way!!
- ---
- Everyone sews their own proof of living
- Into their hearts
- ---
- I'm singing
- But I can only sing as myself
- There's no point to copying Mama
- Because Hidaka Ai has
- A lot of my own memories to engrave
- ---
- I really
- Like singing!!
- If you wish hard enough
- Any dream can come true
- ---
- What!? This feels a lot different from when Mai-san sings this song...
- No kidding...
- Yeah
- But...
- Ai-chan is pretty good...
- ---
- Here, take this microphone
- Eh? But what about the duet later...
- It's fine
- I'd rather listen
- To this kid's song
- You used to be so small, running behind me with tiny steps...
- Who would believe you'd learn to sing like this...
- ---
- No way, today's stage was really amazing
- It's true, even though it was so short, I'll remember it a long time
- Which Hidaka was better, the mom or the daughter?
- You can't ask me to choose like that!
- Between the mom and daughter, Mai-san is Mai-san
- And Ai-chan is Ai-chan!
- Ai!
- Congratulations!
- ---
- Mama!
- Congratulations
- Well... Umm...
- Mama, why did you stop singing for the last part?
- Don't tell me you're angry because I sang the song you love!?
- That's not it
- I wanted to listen
- ---
- This is the first time I ever felt joy from hearing someone else singing
- Where did you learn to sing like that... I never knew
- That ALIVE was completely different...
- You've reached my level
- You're now shining as Hidaka Ai!
- You're more than worthy of inheriting ALIVE
- ...I have no regrets at all
- ---
- The seat of Queen of Idols is all yours now
- Mama...?
- Since you've reached the pinnacle as an idol, please continue singing that song
- And as for me...
- Mama...!? Wait a minute!!
- Don't tell me...
- Don't tell me that as an idol...
- ---
- I'm going to go find a new song
- So that I can become the Super Queen!!
- ---
- Have fun until then <3 I'll be back with a new power <3
- What is that!!?
- That conversation was headed for the part where you quit being an idol!!
- That can't be, I've finally found the rival I was waiting for *
- Please don't fight you two!!
- [The words swirling around clockwise are Ai's Oba-san insult and counterclockwise is Mai's Onee-san response]
- They're calling me a Top Idol now
- When I hear that it feels like I'm dreaming!
- I want to keep spinning this story of what I love
- ---
- Because
- This is the proof that I'm alive!!
- [Thank you very much for all your support
- Volume 2 will be released on February 26]
- The End
