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

[The episode opens with the girls of Aikatsu Start gathered in their classroom, where Gatemistress Momoki has a surprise announcement.]
Gatemistress Momoki: (enthusiastic) Gather 'round, my little idols! I have a thrilling opportunity for you all.
Rotasu: (curious) Another opportunity, Gatemistress Momoki? You always bring us exciting challenges.
Flora: (smiling) What is it this time?
Gatemistress Momoki: (mysterious) You'll be stepping into a different realm of entertainment - voice acting!
Kabe: (intrigued) Voice acting? That sounds interesting!
Aika: (nodding) I've always admired the talented voice actors in anime and games.
Nini: (excited) It could be a fun way to explore a different aspect of performance.
Gatemistress Momoki: (grinning) I thought you'd all be excited. You'll be lending your voices to a new popular anime, "Magical Academy Stars Second."
Rotasu: (surprised) "Magical Academy Stars"? That's one of my favorite anime franchise!
Nini: How do you know about that series? Do you read our minds?
Gatemistress Momoki: No, no. I just watch a lot of anime, and I heard that a voice actress was being replaced.
Nini: (thinking) Oh, okay.
Rotasu: (grinning) Let's give it our all then, just like we do with our singing and dancing!
Gatemistress Momoki: (encouraging) That's the spirit! Now, let's head to the recording studio and meet the director of "Magical Academy Stars Second."

[The girls arrive at the recording studio, where they are greeted by the director, Ms. Sakurai, a warm and experienced voice acting professional.]
Ms. Sakurai: (enthusiastic) Welcome, Aikatsu Start! I'm thrilled to have you here.
Rotasu: (starstruck) It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Sakurai. We're big fans of your work.
Ms. Sakurai: (humble) Thank you, dear. I've heard great things about your idol performances too. I know the voice acting industry can seem like a strange world at first.
Nini: (sighing) I hope you're right.
Flora: (curious) So, what characters will we be voicing?
Ms. Sakurai: (smiling) Well, you'll each be voicing a different student at Magical Academy. It's a school for young witches and wizards, and your characters will go on magical adventures.
Flora: Oh, that trope.
Ms. Sakurai: (winking) That's right. Now, if you'll follow me, I'll take you to the soundproof booth where we record the dialogue.

[After arriving at the booth.]
Rotasu: (awestruck) Ooh, this is so cool!
Seiko: In which way would this place be soundproof?
Aika: I'm not sure, but it's pretty spacious.
Ms. Sakurai gave the girls each notes about the characters they would voice.
Ms. Sakurai: Here are your character bios. They will help you learn your lines and get in the mood.
Nini: (disappointed) I didn't expect this...
