Although the manager told us to "act appropriately in public," "not refusing Kana Fujita's requests" has already become an instinctive response.
After a moment of thought, I indistinctly make the motion of something falling over. In the scandal event earlier, she accidentally knocked down a poster stand in the cinema while we were searching for the paparazzo. This is a secret that belongs only to us.
It's clear that Kana also cherishes our experiences together. After seeing the signal I give her, she makes an expression of realization.
[Kana Fujita]Hmm... The answer is... a movie poster? A stand? A cinema?!
[MC]Haha, from how many answers you're making right now, I can see you really want to win. Let's congratulate Kana for answering the question correctly!
[MC]Kana, since you won this game, why don't you announce the name of the next song?
Beside her, Akane reaches out to stroke Kana's hair, then pushes her forward. Kana takes the microphone and winks mischievously in my direction.
[Kana Fujita]Thank you. The next song is the starting point of our journey together as a girl group called W.I.N.
[Kana Fujita]In the past, I always thought that only someone who stands under the spotlight on a stage can be an idol. I later realized that I was wrong.
[Kana Fujita]An idol should be worthy of respect or admiration in a certain aspect. This word has never been limited to the stage, so anyone can be another person's idol.
[Kana Fujita]To me, the fans who support me are my idols, my manager who helped me return to the stage is my idol, and Mia and Akane who have faced everything with me are also my idols.
[Kana Fujita]My most important idol... is that person who helped me overcome one difficulty after another. Your unshakable belief affirms me and your existence gives me the motivation to keep moving forward. I will always be cheering for you!
[Kana Fujita]I want to dedicate the next song to all my idols. I hope you, me, and everyone can become a shining rainbow!
[MC]Thank you, Kana. Let's look forward to "Rainbow Light", the debut song of W.I.N, and the theme song of this concert!
[Kana Fujita]Our first encounter on that sunny day became a rainbow in my memories--
Her singing voice cuts through the night like a fairy. It leads the colorful lights on the stage to gather together into a rainbow that symbolizes good luck and fairy tales. Mia and Akane stand on the lifting platforms on both sides, as if the rainbow light was real and within reach.
[Fan A]It's Kana-chan! Kana-chan is on the hot air balloon!
The girl sitting in a pink hot air balloon circling above the venue causes the fans to scream out loud. The fans were asked to vote on how they wanted them to enter the stage and this was the top vote. I never thought they would really do it.
[player]So this is the "special reward" for the winner. Haha, no wonder Kana wanted to win it so badly.
[Akane]Your figure in the halo becomes blurry over time--
[Mia]If I greet you with a loud "Hello," would you smile and say back to me--
[Kana Fujita]I'm so happy to have met you--
On a hot air balloon symbolizing happiness and hope, the girl approaches me slowly. Her eyes are warm, firm, and determined, like she won't let me shrink back.
[Kana Fujita]Just one more step and I'll be able to grasp you. All I need is the courage to move forward.
[Kana Fujita]With just a little more effort, I'll be able to hold your hand, but I need your response.
[Kana Fujita]Running hard in that direction, I know the future is full of gentle colors--
With Kana's singing, the distance between us is gradually shrinking, as if the distance I felt between an idol and an audience member never existed. Without needing any other exchange of words, my tangled heart calms down inexplicably.
Whether Kana Fujita is an ordinary high school student or a popular idol is no longer important. I love how brilliant she is on stage and how vivacious she is off stage.
Although there may be objective reasons for us to be physically separated, our hearts are always with each other. It's just like the lyrics--
[Mia]Every ray of rainbow light--
[Kana Fujita]Every trace of yearning--
[Kana Fujita]Shines upon our throbbing hearts--
[Akane]Every ray of rainbow light--
[Mia]Every trace of yearning--
[Akane]Forms our bright future--
During the interlude of the song, the hot air balloon descends behind the scenes while fans watch on. Ten seconds later, Kana miraculously appears behind me.
She probably ran over here from the direct access under the stage as she is still short of breath. I look around nervously to see that everyone is focused on the stage. Kana is mostly hidden behind a black curtain, so no one has noticed her yet.
[player]K-Kana?! How did you get here?!
[Kana Fujita]Shush-- This is the stage arrangement for the interlude, but I also want to take this opportunity to confirm something very important with you.
[Kana Fujita]I want to know the answer... The lyrics of "Rainbow Light"... contain a message I want to convey to the most important idol to me. Has this "idol" received my message?
At the concert, there are fans waving cheering sticks everywhere as are Kana's close team members on the stage, yet I am the only person reflected in her eyes.
When she came to me while riding the hot air balloon, I already knew that I am the most important idol to her. After thinking for a moment, I decide to answer her question with the lyrics of "Rainbow Light".
[player]Yeah, I'm so happy to have met you.
Her eyes shine brightly after hearing this satisfactory answer.
The spotlights of the stage shine over at the right time just as Kana graciously walks out of her hiding place, causing a burst of excited screams from the VIP seats. She puts her hands on her heart and sings emotionally--
[Kana Fujita]Every ray of rainbow light-- Every trace of yearning-- Shines upon our throbbing hearts--
[Kana Fujita]Every ray of rainbow light-- Every trace of yearning-- Forms our bright future--
The girl hops back onto the stage, widening the distance between us again, but I won't feel confused or anxious this time because I knew we are each other's irreplaceable rainbow light.
