Aikatsu Start!

Season 2 episode 1

Rotasu: A new year and a new future! Rotasu Awadatsu is entering the stage again!

---

[The new season begins with a view of Saku Academy in the spring, as cherry blossoms gently fall across the school grounds. The camera pans to show the Aikatsu Start members in different locations, each now pursuing their individual paths following graduation.]

[Opening Scene: Saku Academy Dormitory]

Rotasu Awadatsu, still in her dorm room at Saku Academy, is hastily packing her things. She has decided to stay at Saku Academy for one more semester to help her fellow underclassmen and pursue advanced idol training. Her room is a mess, with clothes and idol magazines scattered everywhere.

Rotasu: (frantically) Oh no! I'm going to be late for my meeting with Miss Mihara! Why did I leave everything to the last minute?

Rotasu rushes around, trying to pack while talking to herself. There's a knock on the door.

Aika: (popping her head in) Rotasu, are you ready yet? Miss Mihara is waiting for us in the courtyard.

Rotasu: (stressed) I know, I know! I just... can't seem to find my special charm necklace. It was a gift from my parents when I first became an idol!

Aika: (smiling sympathetically) Calm down, Rotasu. It’s okay. We have a few minutes. Here, let me help you.

As Aika helps Rotasu pack, the camera cuts to the academy courtyard, where Miss Mihara is standing with Nini, Kabe, Flora, and Seiko.

[Cut to: Academy Courtyard]

Miss Mihara: (looking at her watch) I hope Rotasu and Aika get here soon. We have a lot to discuss about the upcoming semester and our new projects.

Nini: (grinning) You know Rotasu. She’s probably lost in her own room again.

Kabe: (laughing) Typical Rotasu. Always a bit scatterbrained.

Flora: (giggling) It wouldn’t be the same without her antics.

Seiko: (looking thoughtful) It's kind of strange, isn't it? We graduated, but we're still here at Saku Academy. I guess there's always more to learn.

Nini: Yeah, it feels like a new beginning. I'm excited to see what this semester brings.

Just then, Rotasu and Aika arrive, with Rotasu slightly out of breath.

Rotasu: (panting) Sorry, we’re late, Miss Mihara! I... I couldn’t find my necklace.

Miss Mihara: (smiling kindly) It’s alright, Rotasu. I’m glad you all could make it. Now that you're here, I have some exciting news to share about the new semester.

Aika: (curious) What’s the news, Miss Mihara?

Miss Mihara: As you know, the Aikatsu Start Cup brought a lot of attention to Saku Academy. We’ve decided to expand our idol program with some new, advanced courses, and as senior idols, you'll have the opportunity to mentor our incoming students.

Nini: (excited) Really? That sounds amazing!

Kabe: (nervous but excited) Wow, mentoring new students... That’s a big responsibility.

Miss Mihara: It is, but I believe you’re all more than capable. You’ve grown so much during your time here, and now it’s your turn to pass on what you’ve learned.

Flora: (smiling) I’m looking forward to helping the next generation of idols.

Seiko: (nodding) It’s a great opportunity to learn even more.

Rotasu: (determined) I can’t wait to meet the new students! I want to help them find their passion for performing just like we did.

Miss Mihara: (clapping her hands) Excellent! Now, let’s head to the auditorium. We’re holding a welcome ceremony for the new semester.

[Cut to: Saku Academy Auditorium]

The auditorium is buzzing with excitement. New students and returning students alike are chatting excitedly. The camera pans across a few unfamiliar faces, highlighting some of the new characters who will be introduced this season.

Miss Mihara: (speaking at the podium) Welcome back, everyone, to another exciting semester at Saku Academy! We’re thrilled to see so many new faces joining us this year. I’m sure you’re all eager to start your journey as idols, and we have some incredible upperclassmen who will help guide you along the way.

The spotlight turns to Rotasu, Aika, Nini, Kabe, Flora, and Seiko, who stand on the stage waving to the crowd.

Rotasu: (nervously waving) Hi, everyone! We’re looking forward to helping you shine as bright as you can!

Aika: (smiling warmly) We’re here to support you and share everything we’ve learned. Let’s make this semester the best one yet!

The crowd cheers, and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement.

[Later, in the Hallways of Saku Academy]

As the girls walk through the hallways, they talk about their new roles and responsibilities.

Nini: (cheerful) This is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait to start mentoring.

Kabe: (thoughtful) I hope I can be a good mentor. I want to make sure the new students feel welcome and supported.

Flora: (reassuring) You’ll do great, Kabe. We all will. We just have to be ourselves and share our experiences.

Seiko: (nodding) Yeah, and we can learn from them too. Everyone has something unique to offer.

Rotasu: (smiling) I’m excited to see what the new students bring to the table. I remember when we first started, how nervous and unsure we were. Now, we have a chance to help them feel confident and find their voices.

Aika: (encouraging) Exactly! This semester is a new beginning for all of us, and I know it’s going to be amazing.

[Cut to: The Dormitory, Later That Night]

The girls are back in their dorm rooms, preparing for bed. Rotasu sits by the window, looking out at the night sky, lost in thought.

Rotasu: (thinking to herself) This semester is going to be different. We’re stepping into new roles, and we have a chance to make a real impact. I want to make sure I give it my all.

Suddenly, there’s a knock on her door. It’s Nini.

Nini: (peeking in) Hey, Rotasu, are you okay?

Rotasu: (smiling) Yeah, I’m just... thinking about everything that’s coming up. It’s a lot to take in.

Nini: (nodding) I know what you mean. But remember, we’re all in this together. And no matter what, we have each other’s backs.

Rotasu: (grateful) Thanks, Nini. That means a lot.

Nini: (grinning) Anytime! Now, come on, let’s get some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

Rotasu nods, and they both head to bed, the excitement for the new semester filling the air.
