Nemurihime Chapter 12

iM@S 2 Nemurihime: The End of Nemurihime

1
Both Haruka-chan and Miki-chan are practicing very hard for the live tomorrow.
But if Chihaya isn't here...
(What will...)

2
Producer, what happened to Chihaya-san?
Chihaya-chan was trying her hardest too....

(um....)
Don't worry, you two!
Because...Chihaya will definitely be back!

Let's do what we can for now.
(mm..)

3
.....What Chihaya said
about facing being an idol...
and what "singing" means to her...

Just what kind of thing the "Sleeping beauty" envisions
in her newly expanded world...?

5
That time...I wonder
what kind of expression did I have on my face...?

....Why did I think
this is fun to do?

6
....Why did I sing
...up until-

7
My companions...
Is it because I sang that we became companions.....?

8
For the sake of becoming an idol, I sing...no,
Because I sing, I decided to be an idol....?

What am I thinking....?
What does "singing" mean to me....?

I don't understand........
Producer, I don't understand...!

9
....This is the place I always sang
before my debut as an idol.

No one could have heard me here....aside from myself.

10
But...why?
Why...didn't this last?
If I am fine with just singing...I didn't need to become an idol.

...But that wasn't fine with me
and...that time, I...

11
I......
took that person's hand...

This place...how nostalgic.
This is the place where we first met.

12
Producer.....!

......After that, you debuted as an idol and
there wasn't any singing jobs for you at all for a while.

It was really a pain.
(I was still inexperienced as a producer too)

....Even so,
Producer accepted who I was.

Do you still remember what I said to you that time?

13
"I want to make lots of people,"
"to hear Kisaragi Chihaya's song."

(that's what I said)
Ah...but am I fulfilling that wish?

Why does Producer care so......
You know, the first time I heard you sing,
I thought it was amazing...moreover, something drew me into the music.

14
"I am here"
"Please look at me"

Yes...I thought I was hearing these words.

...Anyone can sing,
but, Chihaya's singing
is different from the rest.

15
Chihaya....you became an idol because you want people to hear your song, right?
Who are you singing for...?

At first...
it was for my family...but

they are already...already...
You are wrong!

16
There still exist lots of people who...
wants to hear you sing!

....How much people do you think are waiting for you to sing?
That's not all, Haruka and Miki are...!

If...
you sing for someone that's very precious to you....

17
Then shouldn't you enchant them
with the real you, with your true song...!?

Is that wrong,
Chihaya!

18
.....I
sing...for singing, I became......

I might be singing...
for a very selfish reason.

But...I finally understood.
what my reason is...for singing...

However, there are people out there who is waiting for me....

19
My song
will....continue forever for these people.

20
......Finally!
The "Sleeping Beauty" was awakened...!

The sleeping beauty in the fairy tale was trapped by thorns in a castle, but then, a prince rescued her.
But, there is no prince here.

21
The sleeping beauty woke up with her own power.
While she hurts herself stepping on the thorns,
little by little, she walks in the direction to the freedom she yet sees.

22
...Right now, people are hording at the Tokyo Wonderdome
waiting for "Sleeping Beauty" to appear!

Chihaya onee-chan and their live are gonna start soon~!
(Well then)

just how much these three grew...

I am so excited for this~♪

Quiet down already!
(I can't hear anything!)

(Sorry)

23
The Chihaya now...can sing
The real...song!

24
.....Sorry for the long wait!

The "Sleeping Beauty" countrywide tour......
is starting now!

...I have
something to say to.....everyone.

To the fans who has gathered here.....

25
.....To people persisted with me,
Haruka....
Miki....

and....the people who supported is from behind...

...I have a lot to say to you,
but because we don't have much time,

I will keep it short...

26
I am...
glad to I meet you guys!

27
For today....For now on
We will sing from our hearts...!

28
The song is...
"Nemurihime"!
