In the dressing room: Himari: It looks like we're up next... Tomoe: The crowd sounds pumped. Tsugumi: Ahh... Phew... I'm okay... it's all okay... Same as always, same as always. Moca: I'll teach you a great trick, Tsugu. All you need to do is picture the whole audience as different types of bread. When I look out there, all I see are rows and rows of delicious sweet buns. Himari: I think that's very specific to you, Moca. Moca: Fufu. Your face looks all round and delicious too, Hii-chan. Himari: That's so mean! The audience cheers on at the stage. Tsugumi: Ah, they finished their performance. Hmm? Where's Sonic? Everyone was wondering where Sonic went. Sonic: Sorry to keep you girls waiting! They all looked behind as Sonic pops out with his outfit.

Tsugumi blushes. Tsugumi: T-Thank you. You did too. Sonic: Hehe. Ran, this is out last song. Ran: Yeah. (This next song will be last...) Our last song today. I sort of lost my way recently... but these five helped me find myself again. It's because of these five that I'm standing here today.
Ran: I promise you all. I won't lose my way again. I won't run away again. Himari: Ran...! Tsugumi: Ran-chan...! Sonic: Ran... she's back as good as ever. Tsugumi: Yeah. Ran: And I hope this next song will show my feelings are true!
