Rotasu: I'm aiming to become the top idol in all the world! Rotasu Awadatsu is entering the stage!

[The episode begins with the girls of Aikatsu Start gathered in their dressing room, excitedly discussing their upcoming performance.]
Rotasu: (enthusiastic) Our next performance is going to be amazing, I can feel it!
Flora: (smiling) The fans are going to love our new song and outfits.
Kabe: (determined) Let's give it our all and make it a show to remember!
Aika: (supportive) And remember, we're all in this together. We'll shine as a team.
Nini: (nervous) Um, girls, there's something I need to tell you.
Rotasu: (concerned) What's wrong, Nini?
Nini: (hesitating) I... I've been feeling really anxious about our upcoming performance. I'm scared I might mess up or freeze on stage.
Flora: (supportive) Nini, it's natural to feel nervous before a big performance.
Kabe: (encouraging) We all get stage fright from time to time.
Aika: (smiling) You've always been there for us, Nini. We'll be here for you too.
Rotasu: (determined) Let's help Nini overcome her stage fright together.
Nini: You know it's not the first time I've ever sung in front of an audience before, and that's what idols do all the time. Then why do I suddenly feel so nervous?
Aika: It might be because of the fact that there's more people that you don't know due to the Aikatsu Start Cup. It's totally normal to feel nervous.
Nini: ...
Aika: But you should not feel nervous. It's okay to have a little bit of anxiety. That's how we grow. Just remember, this is what you're here for. This is why you became an idol.
Nini: No, I understand. There's no need for the positive energy.
Rotasu: (smiling) Nini, you're really strong-minded.
Nini: Well, I can't just let some nerves get the best of me, right?
Rotasu: (nodding) Right.
Nini: (shaking) H-Huh? I don't understand. What's going on?
Rotasu: Nini, don't panic. Remember, deep breaths.

[In the days leading up to the performance, the girls work hard to help Nini overcome her stage fright. They run through rehearsals, provide encouragement, and even share their own experiences with stage fright.]
Flora: (sharing) I remember my first big solo performance. I was so nervous I thought my legs would turn into jelly.
Kabe: (nodding) And I once forgot the lyrics to a song in the middle of a live show. It happens to the best of us.
Aika: (encouraging) The key is to focus on the joy of performing and the connection with the audience. Let the music carry you.
Nini: B-But I'm still so scared. What if I freeze up again and make a fool of myself?
Rotasu: Nini, remember, you can do this. We're here for you.
Nini: Rotasu...
Rotasu: If you can't relax, maybe try closing your eyes and imagining yourself in your favorite place.
Nini: My favorite place, huh? (closing eyes) Okay, I'll try it.
Seiko: (confused) Rotasu, are you sure that's such a good idea?
