Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!
Full Screen Text
I wanted to see my sister smile.
Full Screen Text
Saki missed school a lot because of her poor health, so I was always thinking of ways to cheer her up.
Full Screen Text
But there was little I could do at that tender age.
Full Screen Text
One day, our parents took us to a show.
Full Screen Text
I'll never forget what happened that day.
Saki
Wow! So cool!
Saki
Did you see how cool that person was, Tsukasa?! They're all sparkly!
Tsukasa
Yeah, that was really, really cool!
Tsukasa
(I haven't seen Saki smile like this in forever!)
Tsukasa
(And it's not just Saki... That main performer's singing and dancing is putting a huge smile on mom and dad's faces too!)
Tsukasa
(That must be why they call the performer in the leading role a star!)
Saki
This is so much fun! I never want it to end... If only we could watch this every day!
Saki
I know we can't because I'm not strong enough to go outside much...
Tsukasa
Saki...
Tsukasa
I know! If we can't go to the show, then...
Some years later
Tsukasa's Room
Tsukasa
This day...is finally upon us.
Tsukasa
Clear skies and great weather... Even the heavens are celebrating my debut into stardom!
Tsukasa
Ha ha ha! At this rate, they'll take one look at me during the audition and immediately accept my application!
Saki
Tsukasa! Mom said she wants you to keep it down.
Tsukasa
Oh, Saki. Keep it down? I'm just warming up...my vocal cords by talking to the wall!
Saki
So you're saying you were talking to the wall?
Saki
Anyway, you're going for an interview for that new part-time job today, right? I hope it goes well!
Tsukasa
Not an interview...an audition! It sounds cooler that way!
Saki
Haha! That's what you're concerned about?
Tsukasa
By the way...how's school so far, Saki? You only just got better, so don't overdo it, okay?
Saki
Thanks, but I'm perfectly fine! I'm gonna live my high school life to the fullest to make up for lost time!
Tsukasa
Good. I'm glad to hear that.
Saki
And I'm glad that you're one step closer to your dream of becoming a star! You've always wanted that, right?
Saki
Actually... When did you start dreaming of becoming a star, anyway?
Saki
You've been talking about it for as long as I can remember.
Tsukasa
Why did I want to become a star, you ask? Needless to say, that's because... Ahh...why indeed, actually?
Saki
What? You don't remember yourself?
Tsukasa
I-I'm just having a temporary lapse of memory! Okay, let's see... Let's see... Of course!
Tsukasa
Because it would be such a terrible tragedy to let my awesome stage talent go to waste!
Saki
Reeeally?
Saki
Haha... When you put it that way, I can't help but think that has to be it! It's like you were born for this!
Tsukasa
Y-You understand me, Saki! And that's why this audition I'm going for is as good as passed!
Tsukasa
And then I'll become the biggest and brightest star ever!
Tsukasa
Hm?
Tsukasa
Did my phone just light up?
Saki
Did it? More importantly, shouldn't you be preparing to head out soon? Good luck out there, Tsukasa!
Tsukasa
Th-Thanks...
Tsukasa
Let me see...no new messages. Strange...
Tsukasa
(Seriously, though... Why did I set out to become a star, anyway? I feel like I'm forgetting something really important here...)
Tsukasa
What's this? Untitled?
Tsukasa
Argh! It's so bright?!
???
Tsukasa
Huh? Is this...a stage?
Tsukasa
Okay... I was in my room, and when I played that song, it suddenly... This is a dream or something, right?
Tsukasa
(Strange-looking stage props of all sizes are scattered all about... What sort of show are they performing here?)
Tsukasa
(And also...why does that stage feel so...nostalgic?)
Miku
Hey☆, Tsukasa!
Tsukasa
Wha?! Who?!
Miku
I'm Miku!
Tsukasa
Miku? As in Hatsune Miku? Well, I guess you do have the look down pat...
KAITO
Don't forget about me, Tsukasa! Welcome!
Tsukasa
Whoa... KAITO?! Miku and KAITO at the same time? This can only mean one thing.
Tsukasa
I'm having the strangest dream of my life! But here's something even stranger... When did I even fall asleep?
Miku
This is your SEKAI, Tsukasa!
Tsukasa
What? SEKAI?
KAITO
Yes! This SEKAI is a world that was born from your feelings.
Tsukasa
Born from...my feelings? Wh-What's that supposed to even mean? How absurd! And even if that was true, why would you two be here?
KAITO
Miku and I are here because we want to help you find your true feelings.
KAITO
When you find your true feelings, songs will be born from them.
Tsukasa
Yes, yes... It's clear to me now that feelings will naturally transform into songs when...
Tsukasa
Clear as mud, that is!
Miku
Nooo!
Tsukasa
Besides, my true feelings have always been to become the world's top star!
Miku
Yes, that's part of it, but...
KAITO
Do you remember what made you want to become a star to begin with, Tsukasa?
Tsukasa
What made me... Because, you know...
Tsukasa
When I become the world's top star, I'll be able to use my talent to put on the world's best show!
Miku
Uh huh, and then?
Tsukasa
And then when people come see my show...
Miku
Yeah? What about them?
Tsukasa
All eyes will be drawn to the brightest star there: me! Once they see me, they'll certainly cry tears of joy!
Miku
Yea—ohhh... I knew it... You've completely forgotten.
KAITO
Poor Tsukasa...
Tsukasa
Wh-What is it? What have I done to deserve those pitiful stares?!
KAITO
Sorry about that. But I really hope you find your true feelings again, no matter how long it takes.
KAITO
Also, if you ever find this SEKAI somewhat nostalgic, please...hold on to those feelings.
Tsukasa
Nostalgic? Why would I find it nostalgic?
Miku
Come with everyone else next time, Tsukasa! Let's all sing and dance in a show together☆
Miku
I'm sure everyone else has the same feelings as you too!
Tsukasa
Who's this everyone else you're talking about? Why am I getting more questions than answers?!
KAITO
Don't worry! As long as you want to find your true feelings, we'll meet again soon.
Miku
Bye for now, Tsukasa! Until we meet again☆
Tsukasa
Wait, what?! We'll meet again? Wh-What does that—
Tsukasa
Huh?
Tsukasa
I fell asleep? That was a really strange dream, too... Something about a super hyper Hatsune Miku and...
Saki
Tsukasa! You're still here? You're going to be late for that job interview if you keep dawdling!
Tsukasa
I-I know that! Also, it's not an interview! It's an audition!
Saki
Like, who cares what it's called! Just hurry up and go before you're late!

Tsukasa
Phew... I really thought I'd be late, but my speedy feet have saved the day and I'm right on schedule! Go me!
Tsukasa
Hmph... Today, I'm taking my first big step on the path to stardom! I'll start my career by drawing the most attention to myself during this audition!
Tsukasa
My stage is calling to me!
