Yayoi: Iori-chan! Calm down! Iori: How can you tell me to "Calm down"!? I can't believe it! Iori: Not some other person, but ME being dropped! Iori: This is all because you're so dull! Why did you think about becoming an idol? Yayoi: Uhh...umm... ------------------------------------ ^Umm^ Yayoi: I want my brothers to say "Amazing!". That's it... ^It's not just that though...^ Iori: WHAT'S WITH THAT?! Iori: Of course it's natural to be "Amazing"! You're paired up with ME! Next time stick out your chest with more confidence! Iori: Because of you, we failed! *Slam* ^Ugh! I'm going home!!^ Yayoi: Yeah...sorry... ------------------------------------ Iori: Tomorrow, get it right! *Stomp Stomp* Yayoi: Y-Yeah... Iori: I'M OUT! ^Yeah!!^ Yayoi: See ya tomorrow... *Door slams* Yayoi: Hmm... but that's really too bad Yayoi: I wonder if the lessons were no good... Since Iori got angry... ^I-I wonder if Iori will be ok tomorrow!!^ *Spinning* Judge: Ah, Minase Iori. Today as well, she was a little... I can't say she is bad but... ------------------------------------- Judge: Takatsuki Yayoi's most well-developed trait suddenly vanished out of nowhere. Judge: Isn't it just cute. This world... (Iori: ...Huh?) Yayoi: Sorry... (Iori: It can't be...) (Are they saying it's because of me?!) (Iori: I don't believe it!) (Are you kidding me?!) -------------------------------------- (What shall I do?!) Iori: ...Hey Usa-chan Iori: What do you think? This happening to a cute idol like me! It's unbelievable isn't it? Iori: Even though I did toooons of lessons! Iori: I can't believe it... that it was all my fault... --------------------------------------- (Judge: Isn't it just cute.) (Iori: I don't have to be told. I get it already...) ^That's why I was putting in all that effort but...^ (Yayoi: Sorry...) Iori: ........ *Squeeze* ---------------------------------------- Iori: ....... Come to think of it Iori: That girl... said she wanted to be called "Amazing!" by her little brothers. Iori: I too... by my papa... Iori: ...I probably said too much... Iori: I know I should probably apologize! ----------------------------------------- ^UGHHHHHHH!^ Iori: Those judges are soooo mean!!! ^They also threw me away!^ Iori: Whatever should I do?! ^This pisses me off! This pisses me off!^ Iori: You said today was a magazine? Yayoi: Yup! An interview and gravure and after that, a TV studio! ------------------------------------------ Ritsuko: ^I know I always tell you that interviewer is brutal but^ ^Don't give up and do your best!^ Yayoi: Since Ritsuko-san said that, I think I'm getting a little nervous... Yayoi: But if I'm with bright, cute Iori-chan... ^It's useless by myself though^ *Gloom* Yayoi: Umm... Yayoi: The interview...can only go good...yeah. ^Umm...^ Yayoi: After that, let's do our best on stage! After all, I think I like singing better anyway! Iori: .......... ------------------------------------------ Iori: I...I see... *Gloom* Yayoi: Huh!? Umm...I know! ^Uh^ Yayoi: This costume! The dresser came to drop it off! "It fits and Iori-chan after all!" she said... ^The arrangement is a little different though <3^ Iori: Ah...yeah... Yayoi: ...... Uhh... ^There's nothing else to do today...^ *Phone ringing* ------------------------------------------- Iori: ...Mail? Iori: Producer? *beep* Iori: ...Picture mail? ^Producer: To Iori,^ ^Sorry I couldn't make it to your photo shoot today.^ *beep beep* ^If it's you, you'll be fine.^ ^Have faith in yourself.^ *beep* ^Since you have this pretty smile after all.^ -------------------------------------------- Iori: ....... *Closes* Iori: What an...embarrassing guy. Yayoi: Huh? Huh? Iori: ...But Today...I'll compliment you! *Spin* Yayoi: ! Iori-chan! --------------------------------------------- Interviewer: Hey Yayoi-chan, As a poor idol, don't you think it'd be more fitting if you produce yourself? ^Huh?!^ Yayoi: It's not like that! (Iori: What's with this annoying guy?!) (He's only asking questions to Yayoi!) Interviewer: Being rich is a little overrated. Being poor is way cooler! Interviewer: Since it's easier to relate to! Yayoi: W-We... Yayoi: Together, we can do anything! Also, Yayoi: After how much I'm saved by Iori-chan- Interviewer: Lately your popularity has shot through the roof! Isn't Iori-chan just a sideshow? Yayoi: N-No way!! Iori-chan is working hard too! Yayoi: That's why I also need to do my bes- Interviewer: Nah, you don't have to make things up. --------------------------------------------- *Drip* Yayoi: Why... ...Please don't say that... Interviewer: I don't understand why you're crying. Why is that? Hey!! ^We don't have time, hurry up!^ Iori: Hmph! Iori: If it's Yayoi, it's not some mean little joke <3 Interviewer: Huh? Umm...you don't really need to... Interviewer: Whether you're rich or poor is just some cheap question. Someone: An untalented person. How about you worry about that? --------------------------------------------- Iori: If you wanna ask your favorite garbage questions, how about you look elsewhere? Iori: There's other people that can answer those questions, right? Iori: Minase Iori and Takatsuki Yayoi are the only ones here. Iori: You don't really get it, do you? Iori: The idols that the whole world has been waiting for are right here! --------------------------------------------- Interviewer: Ah... ^Iori-chan...that was cool...^ Iori: Since she's crying Go get the makeup artist! And let's get going with that photo shoot! Yayoi: Thanks! Iori: Why? Yayoi: You saved me during the interview. Thanks a toooooooon! I'm so happy! Iori: W-Well since we're pretty much a duo Isn't it only natural?! ^I don't need thanks!^ Yayoi: Teeheehee <3 Iori: Also... About...yesterday... ----------------------------------------------- Iori: I also said a little too much... Yayoi: Teeheehee <3 ^W-^ Iori: What?! Yayoi: That magazine person and that audition person didn't know anything about how amazing you are! Yayoi: That you're really a hard worker I always knew it! I need to make sure I practice so I don't lose! Yayoi: I wonder if we can sing together forever? Iori: I-I would never lose! Yayoi: Yup!! ------------------------------------------------ Iori: Let's prove yesterday's judges wrong at today's stage! ^Ohhhhhhhhh!!^ Iori: Oh Yayoi. You were saying that you wanna be called "Amazing!" by your little brothers... Iori: It's not just friends, families don't notice us either.
