third stage :: video :: open to both courts

[Shortly after the events in the Desolate Lands end another video appears. For anyone who's seen it before or met her before, this seems to be a regular occurrence. Because it really is. Kanata already decided that as long as she was here she would continue to sing as much as possible to try to make people smile and have hope. It wasn't that different from what she believed anyway, just maybe more aggressively.

But this time the 'stage' isn't the Station. It's the purple background of Caer Scima. And she's dressed in one of the dresses from there rather then the black-and-yellow idol outfit she had for her other performance. Something's different, however. The slight glowing red aura around her somewhat more colorful and her kirara seems to shine brighter as well.

For what it's worth, she doesn't seem too injured. A scratch here or there and a certain tiredness. She hasn't really stopped singing in a week, after all. But she's trained to not let it show and to continue being smiling for their fans and so that's what she does. The brightness exceeds the pain and she smiles.]


Mm. I know some of you might have heard it before. Our song 'About Hope'... I tried to make sure everyone could hear it. I know it might seem to early, but I don't think it is at all-- so I'm going to do one last song. I think after everything this one works the best... So please enjoy it!

[The song itself is soft and somewhat cheery and somehow melancholy at points at the same time. She sings it well and doesn't falter between dance moves and the song. There's a definite attempt-- more then, really-- of putting everything into this song and somehow the glowing/shining manages to intensify more.]

We were all looking
at the first star,
the star that someone will tell us about someday

It was a long, long journey
until we got here
We thought that what we aimed for
was just an illusion

There was no pain
in such a wondrous thing
Walking and looking at the sky
wasn't at all unpleasant

Why did we believe
in an existence we could never see?
We were searching for a miracle
somewhere in this world

From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come

Like an unpaved road,
there was no comfort before today
We were convinced that it was something
we could not do easily

Why did we grow nervous, although
we were scolded time and time again?
We were imagining a dream that grew
just slightly closer than yesterday

How much did we sweat?
We must have shed even so many tears
The blueprints of the future
spread out from that place

We noticed the first star before we knew it
The dreams at which we aimed are right by it
Having quarreled, we
won light and became stars,
and so effort is not something harsh
You can do it for sure because you love

Please try doing what you want to do
You can turn to reality the dreams
that you yearned for and lost yourself in

From here we can see the first star
It was more brilliant than we ever dreamed
Covered by thick clouds,
it was hidden by the falling rain
and yet if we don't give up, certainly
the chance will come


[When the song finishes she heaves a breath and lowers her hands to her side. The small snake-like creature whirls around her and then towards the locket before floating in place as she reaches a hand behind her neck to consider what to say.]

It's difficult... but as long as I'm here, this is the least I can do for everyone. I'm an idol. I'm a member of AKB0048 and we're idols who come to see you. We don't believe in fighting for something like this and only want to bring our love to our fans and those who need it. So even if it seems small or out of place I'm going to continue to do this for everyone. It's the least I can do.

I want to be like you.

[ She's been dancing and bopping around to the song, even if she doesn't recognize--it's catchy and uplifting and just what Kelsi needs. She, too, has a couple of scratches on her and looks tired, but the song is immediately uplifting and invigorating. ]

But for now... Can I maybe write for you?
