Hina: Ohhh… You look so stiff and nervous… Aya-chan, are you alright?
Aya: A-Ahaha… Sorry… I’m getting a little nervous……

Pastel*Palettes: Yeah!
Stage
Aya: Everyone~! Hello~ We are……
Pastel*Palettes: Pastel*Palettes!
Aya: Let’s start off with the first song! “Shuwa-rin Dreamin’”!
Maya: (Aya-chan, she’s being a little stiff but she’s singing properly! I’m glad, this seems like it’ll turn out
fine!)
Audience: Is this still… just a recording?
Aya: ~~♪
Audience: No… I think it’s their real voices, right?
Audience: Even the instrumental part seems real, right? They are performing fully live despite being
idols, that’s amazing!
Aya: Everyone, thank you very much for coming today! I am the vocalist of Pastel*Palettes, Aya! I’ll start
off by apologizing to everyone.
Aya: We weren’t performing or singing during our previous performance. About that, I’m truly sorry.
Aya: We practiced a lot so we would be able to bring this real performance to you all today.
Aya: We are very grateful to be given this chance to perform again. Really, thank you very much!
Aya: And… please support Pastel*Palettes from now on as well!
Pastel*Palettes: Please support us!
Audience: That’s amazing! Do your best!!!
Audience: We’ll definitely support you guys!!!
Aya: ……!
Audience: Aya-chan, do your best! But you went out of tempo there!
Aya: U-Uhm… E-Even so, I did my best with practice……
Aya: Ahaha…….
Chisato: Everyone, hello. I’m the bassist, Shirasagi Chisato ♪
Chisato: It’s an honor to be able to bring such a fun and enjoyable performance to all of you. This is all
thanks to Aya-chan’s vocals.
Aya: E-EEEEEH?! I-I-Is that so… C-Can I be happy about that?
Audience: Hahaha! Shirasagi Chisato, it’s just like you to be gifted at so many areas. And you can
perform so well too---!
Chisato: We are still lacking in many areas but we are taking small steps forward. Please lend us your
support so we can soar to higher heights ♪
Aya: (Could it be that Chisato-chan just… helped me out?)
Hina: Hey, hey~ Did all of you watch Hina-chan’s guitar~!
Eve: I’ll also be doing my best so I can convey to all of you how amazing Bushido is!!
Audience: Hahaha! Why Bushido anyway~?
Maya: I… I’ll work hard too! S-Sorry, I’m too nervous… Fuehehe… Crap, I said “fuehehe” again!
Audience: You seem interesting!
Audience: I think so too! I’m a fan now, Pastel*Palettes!
Aya: (A-Amazing… The atmosphere here has completely changed……!)
Chisato: And next will obviously be a live performance too. Aya-chan, I’ll leave the song intro to you.
Aya: Y-Yeah! Then p-please listen to the next song too------
Break room
Eve: The audience were all smiling and having fun! It’s a huge success!!
Maya: Yes! It was the best performance! Aya-chan, you really are an “idol”!
Aya: I-Is that so?
Maya: I thought that. An “idol” is someone who faces their dreams head-on and work to it.
Maya: Looking at your back today… Seeing how the lights hit you on stage… You were definitely
sparkling….
Maya: And it striked me that you really are an idol!
Aya: ….!! *sobs*
Hina: Oh my~ You are crying again~!
Aya: B-Because…!!!
Hina: Ahaha. Today, you are free to cry all you want! Because we had such a good live after all!
Aya: Chisato-chan…
Chisato: What’s up?
Aya: Because of you and everyone else, I was able to be myself all the way until the end.
Aya: Really, thank you!
Chisato: I didn’t do anything at all. I merely thought that it was wonderful that I believed in “Maruyama
Aya” till the end.
Chisato: Thank you…
Aya: Chisato-chan…!
Eve: Chisato-chan, Aya-chan! Let’s all hug!
Aya: E-Ehh?!
Eve: Hugging is a symbol of love! I love all of you! We are Pastel*Palettes!
*group hug*
Chisato: Kyaa?! E-Eve-chan……!
Hina: M-Me too~?!
Maya: Fuehehe…… Somehow, this is so embarrassing……
Aya: Everyone, everyone thank you! With all of you here, I’m sure that I can be myself no matter what happens from now on!
Aya: From now on, let’s make each performance fabulous with the 5 of us here------!
T/N: And that brings us to the end of the band story for Pasupare. I hope that you enjoyed it~
