They weren't kidding when they said Hasunosora is rich with history. The concert hall speaks for itself with the old wooden structure with ornate carvings along the walls, and the grand organ standing proudly at the back of the stage.
Over a hundred years of performances have happened here, from the old 1st class Hasunosora Performing Arts Club to the 103rd class School Idol Club that's about to take the stage tonight.
You can practically feel the stories in the air, generations of girls pouring their hearts out on this stage. It's like every note's been carved into these walls. I can feel the weight of it all, the echoes of countless dreams and songs!
Tonight, we're adding another chapter, to that history, and I can't wait to see it unfold.
The hall's packed with applicants, hundreds of them, all here to see what Hasunosora's about.
Even with those strict rules, this school's a magnet. It's amazing!
The crowd's buzzing, their chatter a low roar. Applicants' faces lit with excitement, some whispering about the club, others clutching pamphlets. I spot Hime, Kosuzu, and Ginko near the front, their eyes wide. It's a big moment for them, deciding if this is their future.
I really hope it is, it would be great to see what they're capable of in the future too as the 104th class!
Rurino and Megumi, Mira-Cra-Park, are huddled nearby, adjusting their red costumes.
Rurino's bouncing on her toes, but her face looks pale, like her energy's flickering.
Megumi's gripping her skirt, her usual calm replaced by a nervous edge.
It's a good thing Setsuna and Mia are with me, ready to cheer them on.

RURINO: "Guys... What if I run out of battery out there? There's so many people...what if I crash halfway through?"
MEGUMI: "And what if I fall again?! What kind of message would that send to all those applicants watching? And it would only ruin things for the others too... Ugh... Why are we opening...?"
