The Story We Realize With You

Nagoya - Day One

Welp, today was the day. The official first day of the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN TOUR.

Since it was the day of, we were told to wait in the seats instead of hanging around backstage.

"It's gonna get hectic backstage," An-chan mentioned. "We don't want you getting mixed up in the chaos."

I, however, did manage to persuade some of the staff to just let me wish them luck. Rachel and Leo tagged along, to make sure I didn't lose my way. We wouldn't lose our seats, though, because they were "specially reserved" for us. Did they really have to go to the trouble? Well, I didn't mind it much.

We made it backstage, just in time to see the girls circled around. I could hear An-chan, and I could only assume she was giving her "pep-talk" to everybody.

"So, we made it to the Second Live Tour! We're boarding the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN, and it's gonna be a fun ride! Let's all remember to enjoy ourselves! If you feel anxious, remember to look each other in the eye! Y'know, I really feel like Kanan-chan should be giving this speech, since it is her single we're celebrating on this tour." The girls giggled, and Suwawa shook her head.

"Take it away, leader!" An-chan smiled and continued.

"Anyway! We've got two more stops before this tour ends, so the fun is just starting! Let's remember that we're working through this entire tour, as a team!" I smiled softly at An-chan's words. "And, no matter what happens... I love you guys!" The girls laughed at the last statement. I couldn't help but giggle. They seemed to have heard me, and I saw Aikyan turn around.

"Ah! Kurisu-chan! Leo-kun! Get in here!" she said, waving us over. We stepped over to them. I squeezed between Arisa-san and Rikyako, and Leo came between Suwawa and King.

"Alright, here we go!" An-chan shouted. "Zero kara ichi e! Aqours!"

"SAAN... SHAIN!"

After about four whole hours, the encore of the setlist ended. The girls lined up in their respective order.

"Everyone...!"

"Thank you for the encore!"

"The songs we just performed were 'Sunshine Pikkapika Ondo' and 'Taiyou o Oikakero!'"An-chan exclaimed. "How was it?!" The crowd roared. I had pretty much lost my voice from all the cheering and singing along, as did Leo. "Gosh, I'm so happy that we finally got to perform these songs!" she squealed.

"Did you all do the dance for Pikkapika with us?" Arisa-san asked. I laughed. I, of course, danced along to the song. The choreography for Pikkapika is just downright adorable, after all!

"Also, Uchicchii, thanks for coming onstage with us!" Shukashuu squealed, giving the mascot a big hug!

"Yeah!" Aikyan added. "Thanks, Uchicchii!"

"You looked like you had a lot of fun!" Rikyako said to the mascot. He nodded and they laughed.

"Alright, with that said, we'll move on to the final greetings of the night!"

"Eeehh?!" The crowd roared. Anchan giggled.

"Thank you all so very much for today! It was such a blast!" She turned to each of the other members. "Thanks, girls!" Her shoulders dropped as she blew a breath. "Alright, let's start with Aikyan! Go ahead!"

Aikyan stepped forward, and the entire venue was lit up with Yohane's color, white.

"Everyone, thank you for attending the first stop of the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN TOUR!" The crowd roared once again. "Did all my little demons have fun?!" Another roar from the crowd. "Haha, I'm glad! I had loads of fun today! I hope all you little demons will follow Yohane into hell tomorrow, as well! Once again, thank you for today! I'm the voice of Tsushima Yoshiko, Kobayashi Aika!"
