{\an8}Tomorrow's finally the day for the last audition for the heroine of Skate; Love II.
{\an8}Nakamura Yuumi and Ichihara Momoko.
{\an8}Just who will land the role of Amamiya Ai?
The one landing the role of Ai will be the number one voice actress.
Yuumi-chan will probably win it.
Her ability and looks are top notch.
But Momoko-chan has been working really hard recently.
So it's hard to say...
I'm fine!
I'm so relaxed!
Are you sure it's fine like that?
The audition is tomorrow, after all.
I'm really looking forward to it even now.
If I land the role of Amamiya Ai,
Actress
I'll become a very popular voice actress.
So that's how it is.
I look stupid, being worried about you.
I guess there is no word called "nervous" in your dictionary.
Oh, is that true?
I think so too.
That's why I don't know how to write "nervous".
I even failed at the spelling test.
What's with that?!
Alright, just leave everything to me!
As if. She's only saying it.
Actually, she's really nervous.
She's alright... if that's the case, then fine.
Since it's the last audition.
Momoko...
What should I do!
Tomorrow is the final audition! I'm so nervous!
What should I do? What should I do!
Maeda Atari
Usamaru-san, I wonder what Atari-kun's doing right now...
Cheer up, Momoko!
You have me by your side.
Usamaru is talking?!
Maybe I should consider becoming a voice actress too.
My name is Usamaru.

The clover leaf bookmark inside the slightly faded diary
Spelled out in the sky, wanting you to read my heart
I was conscious of you, even though it's pretty vexing
I'm always waiting; why didn't you come and ask me out?
A girl is more happy seeking love than being loved
Even though I say that, I'm the one totally falling in love with you
Hey! Hey! That's right~
My story has many different colours like a seven-coloured rainbow
Your dearest person, seizing that premonition
Someday I will become happy like the Seven-Coloured girl next door
Soon, we will be waiting to bloom pitifully

The service of the super VIP suite is totally different from the normal ones.
Don't you think, Atari?
Is that so?
You should return to your own room to eat then.
Food doesn't taste as good eating alone.
Don't hold yourself back, have some too.
I recall you were the one who told me to design the characters.
So why must I also stay in this VIP suite?
There's no helping it.
This is to ensure the audition is just and fair.
The producers have to stay in the VIP suite.
You cannot have any prior contact with the contestants.
What are your true intentions, Manager?
I've always wanted to stay in a VIP Suite like this, even if only once.{I merely want to stay in a VIP suite since this might be my only chance.}
I'm going to the pool.
See you tomorrow!
Ichihara Momoko
The idea for tomorrow's audition.
I didn't think you would accept it.
I don't mind.
This is all for the new Amamiya Ai.
Oh, I see.
Nothing. I thought she used to be just a chick. {hiyoko = young bird = newbie}
To think she's already grown up without me being aware.
That's right.{Takatake = tall bamboo? or a person's name}
Even that Takatake is acting.
What are you talking about?
In my opinion, both of you are still chicks.
Oh dear.
What kind of performance will the girls put up for us tomorrow?
I'm really excited.
Yeah.
{\fad(1000,0)}A whole new Amamiya Ai.
I'll surely land the role.
{\t(3658,0,\1c&H050709&\2c&H050709&\3c&H050709&\4c&H050709&)}And then, I will become the best.
Ladies and gentlemen!
It has been a long wait!
The final audition for the Skater Legend; Love II is about to start.
Who will be the one who lands the role of the new heroine Ai Amamiya?
Nakamura Yuumi
Will it be the talented Yuumi Nakamura?
Ichihara Momoko
Or will it be the emerging idol from Sister x Sisters, Momoko Ichihara?
Oh dear, that Momoko-chan.
Since when did she become so westernised?
Oh no~
The noise is deafening.
It's even bigger than Sister x Sisters events.
Alright!
To put simply, the audition will be free acting.
There will only be one segment which is Amamiya Ai.
Each contestant will perform in a skit to enact their own Ai.
The title, backdrop and setting are none.
But they will have to collaborate with an actor.
Lights,
sound,
as well as music will be provided for backup.
Also, their partner in acting will be the well-known actor; Minato Ichinose.
What kind of performance will they put up for us?
Everyone, please turn your attention to the stage!
First off, we welcome Yuumi Nakamura!
Now then, what will she be performing for us?
Best of luck, Yuumi-kun.
Why, Uncle?
Why do you have to take skating away from me?
She's starting in this manner, huh.
You ask me why?
Are you intending to oppose me, Ai?
To oppose me who took you in, the me who raised you?
A quarrel between Amamiya Ai and her foster father.
The atmosphere completely changed from the first line.
You always do what you want.
Not sparing a thought for my feelings.
Making me do this and that.
And now, you're forcing me to marry someone I dislike for the Amamiya household.
I... {\alpha&HFF&}I...
I... I...
I'm not a puppet that belongs to you!
Yuumi-san is impressive.
{\fad(2400,0)}Even if it's you, Uncle.
I won't allow you to take away skating from me.
The hell with skating!
It's lame.
That kind of thing is meant for child's play.
What do you think you're doing?
Skating...
Figure skating to me...
Ai?
What's this?
Other than figure skating, I have nothing else!
To me, figure skating is my life.
These feelings of mine can never be changed by anyone!
She did really well.
I'm sorry about that, Minato-san.
For slapping you.
Seriously...
But your acting is fantastic.
Bravo!
Perfect.
Ai's intense love for skating was portrayed with such detail.
As expected of Nakamura.
This is acting that suppresses the audience.
With that performance, she'll surely be the one.
That's talent for you.
Incredible.
I didn't think there could be such an intense Ai.
Yuumi-san is really top notch.
I doubt Momoko can rival that.
What are you saying?
She can do it.
We now enter a 15 minutes interval, after which Momoko Ichihara will take the stage.
Everyone, please wait patiently.
I can't do it, Usamaru-san.
How could I possibly win against such an impressive Yuumi-san?
I guess I'm just not cut out for it.
The role for Ai...
What are you talking about, Momoko!
Amane.
What should I do, Amane!
My mind is blank.
Performing freely, I can't do it!
Maybe.
Don't say you're all alone.
Rinka? Tsubasa?
We'll always be there for you, Momoko.
That's right.
That's why, just give your very best.
Just like what the usual Momoko does.
But...
You just can't be helped.
I guess I'll tell you what Atari said on the phone.
From Atari-kun?
Yes.
I went looking for him last night asking if he has anything to say to Momoko.
His voice is what you want to hear most, right?
Well then, Atari-kun's message is...
He has nothing to say to you.
That's what he said.
Nothing to say?
What's up with him?
Wait, what do you mean?
Are you not worried about Momoko?
How could I not be worried?
But I'm one of the judges for the audition.
I'm not allowed to give her any advice.
Besides...
She's already a professional voice actress.
There's nothing I can tell her.
Atari.
So I'm just focused on doing what I should be doing.
I think that's the best reply I can give to her who made the audition.
Professional voice actress...
Atari-kun...
...has complete faith in you, in other words.
Same goes for me.
We can be considered rivals in many ways.
But I'm sincerely rooting for you today.
You can do it, Momoko!
Yurika.
Amane, {\alpha&HFF&}Rinka, Tsubasa.
Amane, Rinka, {\alpha&HFF&}Tsubasa.
Amane, Rinka, Tsubasa.
We apologise for the long wait!
The next contestant for the role of Ai Amamiya, Momoko Ichihara!
Momoko.
You can do it.
So, what will you do?{So, what is your response?}
Momoko-chan.
Nice to meet you!
My name is Amamiya Ai.
Amamiya Ai
I came from a faraway northern island.
Please look after me, everyone!
Amamiya Ai
Amamiya Ai
Amamiya Ai
But, Ai-kun.
Why did you specially come here from the faraway northern island?
Yes!
Actually, I was scouted to come here to figure skate.
Amamiya Ai
But I have never skated before.
Speaking of which, what is figure skating?
Wow, she's gorgeous.
Is that what you call skating?
Alright! If it's only that, I can manage it.
Here I go.
I can't balance!
I can't balance!
I can't balance!
I can't skate!
Hi!
Cheer up, Ai.
Did I hit my head too hard?
{\an8}No way, the stuffed toy is talking.
I'm not a stuffed toy.
My name is Usamaru, a magical bunny.
Usamaru... {\alpha&HFF&}san?
Usamaru... san?
You look really pathetic.
Even though it's rather sudden, I'll cast some magic.
Usa Usa Maru Maru! Change!
This and that too!
With this pair of magical skates, you'll be able to skate however you want.
Really?
I'm skating.
I'm skating, I'm actually figure skating!
Bravo!
I did it!
Everyone, look at me!
What the?! {\alpha&HFF&}I can't see anything!
What the?! I can't see anything!
Oh, Usamaru-san?
Hey, what are you doing?
Usamaru-san!
Let go! Let me go!
This magical skater is my servant.
Rabbit, you have to work yourself to death in making me world no. 1.
Save me, Ai!
Usamaru-san.
That's right.
Now's the time for you to transform into the figure warrior, Skater; Love.
Skater; Love?
What's going on?
Alright!
Transform!
Ai the figure warrior, Skater: Love!
I'll come even if you don't call.
Curse you, Love.
I'll finish you off at once!
Prepare yourself!{Know your place!}
Right back at you!{I welcome you!}
Take that!
What?
Miracle Usamaru Final Axel!
Full blast!
You did it, Ai.
Yeah.
What's wrong, Ai-kun?
Introduce yourself.
It's nothing.
Don't tell me that was all a dream?
Nice to meet everyone!
My name is Amamiya Ai.
I came from a faraway northern island.
And the thing I love most is{\fscx250}-
E-Erm...
And... {\alpha&HFF&} the thing I love most is figure skating!
And... the thing I love most is figure skating!
Everyone, please take care of me!
That was fantastic, Momoko-chan!
So cute!
Momoko-chan is so adorable!
You can do it, Momoko!
You're the best, Momoko-chan!
Do your best, Momoko-chan!{Momoko, you're the best!}
Momoko-chan, you're the best!
T-{\alpha&HFF&}Thank you very much!
T-Thank you very much!
That was really something.
You actually made me completely forget that I was acting.
Momoko-chan, you're the best!
Bravo!
This is totally bravo!
She was there. Amamiya Ai was there just now.
If that's the case, we won't be able to decide between the two.
Seriously.
The one who makes the final decision is...
Alright, I've decided!
{\an8}She is totally like Ai Amamiya!
Thank you everyone!
{\an8}Her performance was wonderful!
Beautiful.
Graceful!
Now, who will land the role of Amamiya Ai?
Will it be Nakamura Yuumi, or will it be Ichihara Momoko?
Let's wait for the results!

With the flow of time,
the days spent at Lambda 8 passes by really quick.
I won't mention the audition results here.
It is an outcome where everything is put into it.
So no matter what it is, there won't be any regrets.
Aside from that, I seem to be forgetting something very important.
I can't seem to remember what it is at all.
Geez, I'm so absent-minded!
Next time: Momoko, Finally Succeeds!
