[ The feed of the locket turns on to a fairly empty part of what obviously must be the station.There's nothing descript about it-- yet. The lights are dimmed and beyond the shadows it's difficult to tell what's going on. Maybe it came on by mistake...? Before the viewer can consider that further, a girl steps back and raises a hand.]

Good evening, everyone! Mm, I know this might be a little strange, but please enjoy this song! Usually there's a lot more people on "stage" for this, but today I'll perform well enough to make up for that! [Everyone's still with them there, after all, that she can believe. But she smiles and nods, bowing lowly for a moment before turning around.]

Here we go, AKB0048! Always calmly, justly, and correctly!

[She turns the music on from a small handheld and the song begins. Almost immediately, a small orange creature appears shining brightly enough to light up the area.]

I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
Yes!
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
Yes!
You…

On my bike with all my strength
I pedal
And climb this hill
Even with the blowing wind
Against my shirt, I'm still not fast enough

At last I noticed
My true feelings
I want to go on honestly
On this one and only road
I run!

[The song continues and the more she sings the brighter the creature begins to glow. Her smile doesn't waver even as she gets further into her song. It's just as energetic now as it was in the beginning. This much never falters and so she continues onwards literally glowing.]

Because you're more important
Than anyone else
Despite the cold shoulder
I won't regret
Because you're more important
Than anyone else
This feeling
I wanted to convey

If it's love,
Then say it's love
Without the façade,
Let's just be honest
If it's love,
Then say it's love
Let's admit
What's inside our chest

LALALALALA

I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
Yes!
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
I wanted to meet you
Yes!
Only you!
I wanted to meet you

[As the song ends she lowers her hands and lets out another breath. Bowing deeply again she pauses a moment to catch her breath before continuing on.]

Thank you everyone for listening! I know a lot's happened but I hope for even a moment our song brought you some happiness! Mm, I hope even more that I did all of my teammate's hardwork justice. One day, I want a chance to meet all of you properly, too.

[Another small bow.] Thank you again! [And with that she disconnects the feed.]

Maybe. Sounds like this Sensei-Sensei guy's somebody worth meeting though. Too bad he's not around.

We're not even allowed to meet him. It's kind of mysterious.

Wait what? Why not? Isn't that part kind of important when you're working with somebody?

...I guess it's a little complicated...

[ like how do you explain that we get to sing on the main stage by the nature of our souls complicated ]

I'm never going to really get it because I'm not an idol, huh? [But he doesn't seem to mind too terribly much.] I guess I just don't see how that doesn't drive you crazy.

Mm, it's not that isn't. [ It's not like the girls didn't stalk Mayuyu to find out if she was an android or a cyborg at all. ] It's just a fact of life for us.

...but why just accept the facts?

Our dreams are more important then that.

Exactly, so shouldn't that be the whole point? Shouldn't your dreams mean that you don't just accept things the way they are?

Not really. Who Sensei-Sensei is doesn't interfere with out dreams. It's not like we know everyone who runs the top of the group. It's like any other business. You might know of someone, but that doesn't mean you know them personally. As long as we can sing that's what is important.

[Maybe that's how it works for normal people, but Ryan's pretty used to being on top of everything. But okay. Okay, if he imagines himself in a lesser position that sort of makes a little bit of sense.] All right, all right. You should definitely sing over the lockets more in the future then. It's cool to hear the different sounds.

Mm. I was planning on it. It's nice to be able to sing freely, but even more there's plenty of people who need to hear music here.
