Aikatsu Start!

Episode 1

[Scene: Saku Academy, a vibrant semi-boarding school filled with students.]

Welcome to Saku Academy, where dreams are nurtured and idols are born! Today, we join our main character, Rotasu Awadatsu, as she embarks on a brand-new adventure in the world of Aikatsu Start!

[Rotasu Awadatsu is seen in her house, wearing her school uniform while brushing her hair.]

Rotasu: Hmhm... It's today. I need to go shopping before the ceremony!

---

[She leaves, going to the city. Her dream is to become a top idol.]

[She arrives at a store.]

Rotasu: Ooh, what a cute dress!

[With a cheerful disposition, Rotasu is always optimistic.]

Rotasu: Oh, wow! This is nice too! But if I stay here too long, I'll never make it in school... plus, this is my only chance to become an idol...

[She then sets off to Saku Academy.]

---

Rotasu: Huh? Wait, something's not right... Where am I?

[Another world was materializing around her. She looked around to see herself in a magical box that had appeared out of nowhere.]

Rotasu: What is this? I'm inside a box...

[Meanwhile, in a forest, a girl named Aika Nagasako is practicing her gardening skills.]

Aika: Whew... That should be enough for today. Time to go to the other side.

Rotasu: Hey. Why are you going there?

Aika: Who said that?

Rotasu: Right here. You can see me, right?

Aika: Hm...?

Rotasu: I'm Rotasu Awadatsu! I'm a student of Saku Academy!

Aika: I'm Aika Nagasako. I'm a student of the same academy. I do not like people who yell for unnecessary reasons.

Rotasu: Uhm... I'm sorry... I was just a bit excited.

[Both girls were lost, and both ended up in the same world.]

Rotasu: So, you're from Saku Academy, too?

Aika: Yes. I'm a designer.

Rotasu: A designer? Wow! I've heard that Saku Academy has the best designers in all of Japan!

Aika: Really? I thought our school was pretty average.

Rotasu: Nope, it's the best.

Aika: I don't think so.

Rotasu: ...

Aika: ...

[Suddenly, the world turned back to normal. Rotasu and Aika found themselves back in the real world, standing in the middle of the academy.]

Rotasu: Oh, what just happened?

Aika: I have no idea. It felt like we were transported to another world for a moment.

Rotasu: Yeah, and we were inside this magical box. It was so strange.

Aika: As if anything magical could happen to us. We are only ordinary girls. Maybe it was just your imagination.

Rotasu: But it definitely wasn't! It was real! You said it yourself.

Aika: Please calm down. I don't want to smack your head. Now, let's enter our new school.
