〈Location: BIGBANG Stage〉
〈Ten or so minutes later〉
Subaru: “Feel our explosion, ‘BIGBANG’......☆”
“Everyone~, thank you for coming to ‘Trickstar’s stage today! I love you, chuu chuu ☆”
“And without further ado, first up, the song we prepared especially for this―”
Hokuto: “Wait wait. Don’t forget about the program so quickly, Akehoshi. Even though Isara went to all that trouble earlier to plan everything out for us.”
Before we start singing, since this is so out of the blue, we should nicely explain to everyone what ‘BIGBANG’ is so they can understand what’s going on.
Subaru: “Eh~? But I want to sing! I don’t want to wait!”
Mao: “No, it’s fine. I thought it would come to this. It always does.”
Makoto: “No no, let’s explain it to them properly?”
“We’re company people now that we’ve become members of ES, so what would people think of us if we just do whatever we wanted like small children? Honestly?”
Mao: “Ahaha. Well, doing things on stage in such a disorganised way is most definitely not allowed.”
“That’s also like us though…… Subaru’s looking like he can’t wait any longer, so we’ll just briefly tell them what we have to.”
“Um~ ahem. Originally, ‘Trickstar’ was given the role of introducing all the idols affiliated with this idol utopia― ES.”
Makoto: “Yep, we made announcements for that on places like the internet beforehand. At any rate, we don’t plan on ignoring that completely, so everyone can rest assured.”
Subaru: “But! It’ll be boring if we just do a normal introduction, right?”
“I think we should do it like a salesperson, an ‘introduction’ befitting idols~ don’t you think?”
Hokuto: “Umu, a ‘Trickstar’-like introduction huh. Since we’ve mostly been doing live-centric activities.”
“Standing up stiffly with a microphone in hand and explaining ourselves with a speech― we’re not familiar with that sort of normal way of doing things, and so we’ve concluded that we won’t be able to properly fulfil such a role.”
Mao: “I’m a little partial to that sort of thing though. It seems like a food review show.”
“But you could say it feels like everyone’s gotten used to such a ‘common idol activity’~”
“Getting too far ahead of ourselves and wearing unfamiliar clothes to pretend we’re like the ‘popular idols’ is also impossible.”
“We’ve only been formed for less than a year, so we’re still novices.”
“One way or another, our faults would be exposed. I think everyone would be disappointed by the unseemly, disgraceful sight they find before them.”
“We wouldn’t want to see such a thing, and we don’t want to show it to you either.”
Subaru: “Yep! We only want to show you the shining side of us! I want to see everyone’s sparkling, satisfied smiles when they look at us!”
Makoto: “Fufu. Even though we look like we’ve got it all together right now, come to think of it, it really hasn’t been all that long since we were properly formed……”
“If we’re talking career length, ‘Ra*bits’ and ‘2wink’ are called promising rookies, but they’ve been around for about the same time as us, or even a bit longer.”
Hokuto: “Umu. But we were put in charge of introducing ES, because we were considered to be idols who could fulfil that role.”
Mao: “Yep. We talked and thought about it at length, the reasons as to why that would be the case. We’re always saying things like this. Don’t you think we’re coming off like we like idols too much?”
Subaru: “That’s not a bad thing though, is it? It’s better to be full of ‘love’!”
Makoto: “Fufu. We considered all sorts of things, thinking “is this it?”, while we were trying to understand their reasoning.
“We're inexperienced newcomers, so why didn’t they pick someone who was better suited to being the idols' representative to introduce ES?”
Hokuto: “Was it merely due to our agency having twisted a few arms? Was it favouritism? Was ES just really understaffed? Without other suitable prospects, were we selected by method of elimination?”
Subaru: “But those weren’t the reasons, were they? No, we were given the job because of who we are!”
“There were many idol graduates out of Yumenosaki who were like my father- so many like glittering stars. And out of these idols…...”
“We were the only ones to have won the greatest festival of the idol industry― the ‘SS’.”
“To stay true to our reputation, here in this brief moment, we’ll prove to you our rank of ‘strongest and best idol’.”
“It’s like a champion’s belt, a sparkling medal.”
“It’s thanks to so many miracles, so much effort and so much support from our friends and our fans around us that we were able to stand at the top.”
“This job was entrusted to us because of our accomplishments.”
Hokuto: “Well, if you think about it, it was the obvious truth.”
“Once again, there was no need for our worrying and talking. We were shown clear rationale from the very beginning."
Mao: “But. It seems like we’re saying weird things……”
“Although we became the ‘strongest and best idol’, we still don’t have that proper ‘idol’ feeling.”
“In terms of fighting, we only won the ‘SS’. We’re still inexperienced in regular idol jobs like doing food reports. We’re just rookies who don’t have enough experience in many things.”
“By waving around our shiny medal, we only hidden our weaknesses behind its radiance.”
“......We don’t mean to say that we’re actually just fooling everyone, that we’re really just good-for-nothings, though.”
“What we want to say is this. We want to become men who are suited to wear this medal― so that nobody can tell us otherwise. We want to become shining idols. We want to become the real deal.”
