This article contains information and transcripts for Sayaka Maizono's Development Mode events from Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.
Introduction[]
I wonder what kind of idol I'll be when this is all over and I've graduated. |
Hope Fragment[]
The thing I want most right now... is to stand on stage and show my fans what I've become. |
Friendship Events[]
Korekiyo & Sayaka[]
Korekiyo & Sayaka | |
---|---|
Ah, Korekiyo! Those books you recommended were a big help. Thank you so much. | |
I'm delighted to hear that. Some of the books were quite high level--I'm curious as to your thoughts. | |
They made me realize just how little I know... But that aside, I learned a whole lot. | |
Curious that an idol such as you would take an interest in the origins of classical theater. | |
Might this be for an upcoming work? | |
Sorry, I can't talk about it quite yet. | |
But since I may have to consult you for more advice further down the road... | |
You'll be the first one to hear about it once I can! | |
Kehehe...then I shall look forward to that day. | |
I admire your attitude toward your work, Sayaka, proactively pursuing studies in unknown fields. | |
Idol is truly a dream job, but...now and then, people look down on it as vapid. | |
I'm just an idol...but I want to put some real substance into my performance. | |
Splendid... I shall support you all the more. | |
If you're interested, you should listen to my new single that came out last month. | |
Indeed, some exposure to modern day "idol" worship would surely be of great benefit to me. | |
And...I am certain my sister would take a liking to your music as well, Sayaka. | |
I hope so. If you're interested, why don't you listen to it together with your sister? |
Maki & Sayaka[]
Maki & Sayaka | |
---|---|
I just realized something. | |
What is it all of a sudden? | |
Maki, you...have a really nice style! | |
What? Is that seriously all? | |
Oh... Did I surprise you? I've always admired you, so I just couldn't keep that in. | |
You're slender with long limbs, but have a nicely toned physique thanks to exercise... | |
Oops...sorry for staring. | |
I'm not even a rival idol, but you sure are looking at me like I am one. | |
I'm thinking about feminine charm pretty much every single day. I'm always trying to refine my vision of the ideal idol...but my ideal isn't necessarily everyone's. | |
Hmm... Being an entertainer must be tough. | |
How about you, Maki? Do you have a vision of what you consider the ideal, most wonderful girl? | |
Not really... | |
Actually...maybe I do. Although it's not an idol. | |
Oh? What kind of girl is it? | |
Ordinary. Someone who isn't glittery and flashy like you. A lonely crybaby, but gentle and kind. That kind of girl sounds wonderful to me. | |
Are you describing a friend of yours? | |
Something like that... | |
Someone to share memories with and cherish... I wouldn't stand a chance against someone like that. | |
Huh? | |
An idol may glitter and shine, but she has to share her smile with everyone around her. | |
Even if I were the top idol in the world, I could never take that person's spot in your mind. | |
Well...I suppose that's true. She's still very much a part of me. | |
I can't be any one person's number one, which is why I can smile for people I don't even know... | |
But that's the kind of idol I admire, and that's why I'm fine being that way. | |
You had fans back at my orphanage. | |
Huh? | |
They imitated your songs and dances. They weren't great at it, of course, but they always had fun. | |
... | |
Then I'm glad that my smile could cheer up others out there... That's the kind of idol I strive to be. |
Sayaka & Hajime[]
Sayaka & Hajime | |
---|---|
Oh, Sayaka? Out for an early run? | |
Good morning, Hajime. | |
Exercise is a habit of mine... I'm jittery all day if I skip it. | |
Idols seem like they have limitless energy, but I'm sure that's the result of a ton of effort. | |
When it comes to building your body, it's slow and steady with emphasis on the steady. | |
I guess I emphasize the slow part too. But yes, all idols work hard to stay fit. | |
Slow or not, I'm impressed. Exercising is kinda... like indirect effort or something. | |
Indirect? | |
I'm sure you need to be in shape for all those intense performances. But, for instance... | |
A martial artist works out to get stronger, a musician practices singing or an instrument... | |
But this feels a bit different to me. | |
Ah, I kind of get what you mean. | |
Basically, that working out isn't something I necessarily need to do? | |
Yeah, exactly. Yet here you are, working hard. You must really love being an idol. | |
I certainly do! I can say that much with confidence. | |
It's just that...you can't just do what you love and nothing else. Does that make sense? | |
Uh...maybe? | |
There are very few people who do what they enjoy for a living and never run into trouble. | |
From frustrating incidents, to fights with co-workers, and just plain jobs from hell... | |
None of these examples are uncommon, and yet I'd never think about quitting my idol career. | |
Oh...I must have sounded so full of myself. | |
Not at all... You're really something, Sayaka. | |
I'm glad we talked. I'm sorry for hogging up so much of your valuable time though. | |
It's fine! I rarely get to talk to anyone about this kind of stuff. I'm glad we talked too. | |
Anyway, see you at breakfast. | |
Doing what you love, huh... |
Sayaka & Kazuichi[]
Sayaka & Kazuichi | |
---|---|
I think I've died and gone to heaven... | |
What is it, Kazuichi? | |
Oh, uh, sorry for staring. | |
It just kinda struck me that I'm standing right next to a famous idol wearing a swimsuit. | |
Whoa, I didn't mean to sound like a creep! I meant it more out of admiration, or...something. | |
I'm hardly that special. Besides, everyone is wearing a swimsuit right now. | |
That makes it even crazier! We've got an idol, a fashionista...and even a real-life princess! | |
It just feels so...extravagant. | |
But everyone comes to you to fix broken down machines, right? | |
Me? I mean, sure, I do what I can... What about it, though? | |
An environment where an Ultimate Mechanic can fix whatever you need is pretty extravagant to me! | |
Then there's Kirumi who makes tea, Teruteru always letting us sample new menu items... | |
And we can listen to Kaede's piano at lunch. Everything in our daily lives is extravagant. | |
Damn, you may be on to something. | |
We're all living in extravagance. | |
Plus, I'm featured in plenty of swimsuit magazines and calendars--it's hardly anything special. | |
Hey, can't say I mind. That's still plenty special in my eyes! |
Sayaka & Peko[]
Sayaka & Peko | |
---|---|
I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you have really pretty skin, Peko. | |
I've never quite seen fair skin as unique and lovely before. | |
Really now? As far as fair skin goes, I think you're far more deserving of that description. | |
Thank you for the compliment! But *you're* the subject right now. | |
Tell me, what's your secret? | |
Nothing in particular. I'm often active at night and early morning which may explain my paleness. | |
So it's your lifestyle, huh? But wow, if you stay up so late, that makes it all the more amazing. | |
That's almost unfair! Are you suuure you're not doing anything special? | |
Um, Sayaka, personal space. What's going on, really? | |
Oh...sorry. You're easy to talk to, so I guess I got a little too comfortable. | |
Me? Easy to talk to? | |
You actually remind me a little of the leader of my idol group. | |
She's the one furthest to the left whenever we're on TV... Do you know who I mean? | |
I'm sorry, I'm...not really familiar with any of the members except for you. | |
But I find it impossible to believe that someone in your group would be similar to me at all. | |
You really are similar! She's the most adult-like, the most cool, most reliable... | |
That describes you pretty well, right? | |
I'm hardly someone to be relied upon. If I must prioritize something over my friends, I will... | |
See, that humility just makes you seem more reliable! | |
Talk is cheap, right? But you do what needs doing without talking up anything. | |
I really need to make up for depending on others all this time. | |
Forget about me, you should rely on your idol friend. If she is similar, I know she'd be happy. |
Sayaka & Kotoko[]
Sayaka & Kotoko | |
---|---|
It's been a while, Kotoko. Do you remember me? | |
We were on a variety show together once. | |
Of course I remember you! There isn't a girl who doesn't know all about you. | |
But...I don't know about any variety show. That's all in the past. | |
Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up something you'd rather forget. | |
I retired months ago. It's all a lifetime ago. | |
That doesn't stop people from calling me Li'l Ultimate Drama and dragging me here, though. | |
If not for Monaca being with me, I would have fiercely objected. | |
When I was your age, several months really did feel like a lifetime. | |
But as you get older, time starts to fly by in the blink of an eye. | |
Maybe that's why those around you have so much trouble keeping up with your life. | |
Yeah, well, it's really annoying! I'm a normal girl now, darn it! | |
Being a normal girl must be what makes you happy, huh? | |
I never even wanted to be famous. | |
You're in the industry, so I'm sure you understand. | |
That's true... For me, it was a long sought after dream that I was finally able to grasp. | |
With that said, I don't blame you at all, and I respect your decision. | |
As long as you can smile, you've made the best choice. |
Izuru & Sayaka[]
- Note: Event only obtainable when playing as Izuru Kamukura.
Izuru & Sayaka | |
---|---|
Oh... Good morning. Are you jogging too, Izuru? | |
For once, yes. | |
It feels so nice to run here in the morning. The scenery is so different from the academy. | |
I've never minded such things. | |
I'm simply exercising my body to maintain my physical condition. | |
Hehe... That sounds just like something you'd say. | |
Just like me, you say... That's the first time someone's said that. | |
Is it? I didn't mean it in a bad way though. It's not like you to work toward a goal, or because you want to better yourself... | |
But quietly keeping things in order... that definitely fits my image of you. | |
You aren't mistaken--my present self has no goals. | |
So this is basically a period of maintenance until you do find a goal. | |
You could perceive it in that way. Looking at the positive things and conveying it... That's very much like you, as an idol. | |
Um...thank you very much. | |
I'm sorry, I'm just a little surprised. I never expected you to say something like that to me. | |
That is to say, it wasn't "just like me." Is that what you meant? | |
Oh, not at all. It's just... | |
What I think of as "like Izuru" is just one aspect of you. | |
But it's not like we've spoken much, so of course I wouldn't know much about you. | |
I thought we had dispelled this whole "like me" thing. | |
Huh? | |
Never mind... It's nothing. |
Kaede & Sayaka & Ibuki[]
Kaede & Sayaka & Ibuki | |
---|---|
When you're soaking in the bath... do you get melodies playing in your head? | |
For me, it's my favorite classical music, pop tunes...even music that doesn't exist yet. | |
Heck yeah I do! Sometimes, I even come up with entire songs in the bath! | |
Wow, really? | |
Hmm...unlike you two, I can't compose music in my head alone... | |
But new songs I practice do get stuck in my head, and sometimes I can't help but sing along. | |
A live performance by Sayaka in the hottest bath venue around? Hell yeah, sign me up! | |
Baths really do work wonders. Even if you're exhausted, it clears your head so quickly. | |
Yeah! And sometimes it just gets you *amped*! | |
In fact, I'm feeling amped right now! The melodies just ain't stopping! | |
Hm-hm-hmm, bum-ba-bum! And then I come in with the guitar all like BEYOWWWW! | |
Oh, I like that! If only I had a piano here, I'd improvise and play along. | |
Hehe... Laa, la-la, dum-dee-dum... | |
That was a bunch of silly nonsense. Sorry for interrupting you, Ibuki. | |
No, no, that was a *sick* groove! All dum-dee-dum, and then yeah, yeah, YEAH! | |
C'mon, you sing along too, Kaede! | |
Huh? M-Me too? Urgh... Okay... | |
Ah, aah, la-dee-da, la-la-la... | |
And a do to the re to the YEAH, baby! Ah-thank you very much! | |
Ah, how lovely. | |
Singing isn't my forte so it's kinda embarrassing, but every once in a while... it's pretty fun. |
Makoto & Sayaka & Komaru[]
Makoto & Sayaka & Komaru | |
---|---|
Good morning, you two. It's another nice day. | |
G-Good morning! Thanks for greeting me! | |
Hey, uh, Komaru? Try acting a little more normal. | |
Oh... I-I did it again. And in front of Sayaka... I'm sorry, I can't help it... | |
Sayaka will never feel at ease around you if you're always that awkward. | |
I know... Ugh, you just don't understand how I feel, Makoto. | |
Hehe, you two really get along well. I always wanted an older brother, so I'm a little jealous. | |
And... your brother mode is so delightful, Makoto. You really are different around your sister. | |
G-Give me a break, Sayaka... That's really embarrassing... | |
So you really are Sayaka's classmate, huh, Makoto? | |
I told you so. | |
But seeing it with my own eyes... to be classmates... | |
It takes a while to process something as wild as that! Why don't you understand! | |
Sayaka, I'm really sorry about this. My little sister is always such a pain... | |
No worries. I can tell she admires me... and the support of my fans is priceless to me. | |
What a wonderful thing to say... She's a genuine idol, Makoto! | |
Trust me, I know... Just calm down, okay? |
Kiyotaka & Mondo & Sayaka[]
Kiyotaka & Mondo & Sayaka | |
---|---|
Just like Shirokuma said, it looks like this place has been taken over as the children's secret base. | |
We hardly ever come here, after all. It's the ideal hideout for those adult-hating kids. | |
But man, what a mess. I know this ain't reality, but do they have to be such slobs? | |
Children cannot live off of junk food and juice! They need Teruteru's nutritional guidance, stat! | |
It's fun to make a secret base as a kid, I can understand that. | |
It's a unique and fun atmosphere too, so it's probably more comfortable for them than the hotel. | |
But wouldn't staying in such a dim place be bad for their eyes? Would one even be able to rest here? Whatever the case, it can't be healthy. | |
True enough. But... Can we really just take their hideout from them? | |
That...doesn't feel right, no. Even us entering unannounced might be enough to upset them... | |
Should we have a meeting? At minimum, they need to clean up their mess and spend less time here! | |
Right... We can let them play here, but I think we need to establish some rules. | |
Then we are in agreement! Sayaka, always the voice of reason! | |
Then should we just leave for now and come back another time? | |
I'm unsatisfied with leaving it a mess... | |
Yes, but if you touch their belongings, you might hurt their self-esteem. | |
They need to deal with it themselves. Otherwise, they'll never learn to clean up, right? | |
...Precisely! Then it is decided. Let us withdraw without touching anything! | |
Jeez... I never thought the day would come when I'd have to worry about lookin' after kids. | |
Hehe, I'm a little surprised myself, but... I feel like we can't just leave those kids be. |
Sayaka & Kyoko & Aoi[]
Sayaka & Kyoko & Aoi | |
---|---|
Aww yiss, swimming in a beautiful ocean and soaking in a heavenly hot spring... This is good. | |
Isn't it? I'm worried about what will happen once I return to the real world if I get used to this. | |
Oh...is this a cooler? | |
Huh, you're right. Did someone forget it? | |
No...it has Kaito's name on it, along with a note that says to take whatever you want. | |
And inside is...wow, there's drinks. And bite sized ice cream. | |
Cold juice and ice cream in a hot spring? Sign me *up*! | |
Snacking in a bath is gauche, but...I must admit, it just tastes better like this. | |
The note is in Kaito's handwriting, so it's unlikely that it's someone's prank... | |
So it should be safe to eat. | |
Oh yes, yes I *will*! I haven't gone to the beach hut today, so I *deserve* this! | |
I'll have some too. What about you, Kyoko? | |
Well...I suppose the occasional sweet can't hurt. |
Special Events[]
Potential of Talent[]
What are some ideas you have for unlocking new potential in your talent? | |
---|---|
Unlocking new potential... I could go global, or I could experiment with new styles. I have lots of really simple ideas like that, but I don't think that's what they mean. My potential... The path I choose... My future as an idol? |
What's my life going to be like as an adult? | |
---|---|
At some point, the public could grow tired of me, and that would be the end of this wonderful dream. I came to Hope's Peak so I could keep my group together forever. To guarantee we'd stay relevant. I always thought that just graduating was enough. But is it really? | |
Sup, Sayaka! What's with the death glare? Smile, girl! Need to take your mind off things for a bit? 'Cause I was just about to hit the beach. | |
No. I'll pass. I was just thinking about the future. | |
Oh, well you got that shit in the bag! It's #1 Idol 'til the end of time for you! | |
Do you really believe that? | |
Whuh? | |
Um... Do you mind if I ask you something? You said you were going to start baseball back up, right? If, hypothetically... If another player with incredible skills showed up alongside you... ...and that person was better at everything, from playing to entertaining fans... What would you do? | |
First off, there's no one out there as frickin' badass as me, but hypothetically speaking... I wouldn't really do anything? If it happens, it happens. | |
What? | |
I don't mean, like, I'm cool with losing. Hell no. I'll beat his ass if he gets more ass than me. But it's not like he's a real person, so there's no point working myself up about it. | |
Not to dismiss what you're saying, of course not. But why don't we continue this at the beach? | |
Persistent as ever, I see. I will say...I am feeling a little bit better now. Like a teeny-tiny weight has been lifted. | |
After Leon left for the beach, I spent some time alone thinking about the future. |
What can I contribute to the idol industry? | |
---|---|
I don't think there's anything I can tell you that you don't already know. | |
That's not true. There's one thing you know so much more about than I ever could. Maki... Could you give me some advice on how to watch after younger kids? | |
Kids? Are you playing a caretaker on TV or in a movie? | |
No, not quite. I just have so little chance to come in contact with girls younger than me. But we're starting to see more of an emphasis on mentoring girls or working with other agencies. I don't want to mess up when I have the chance. | |
Is being a mentor part of your job as an idol? | |
Not everyone thinks so, but I want to do more than build up my own group. I want to help everyone. It would be great if I could do something to grow the idol industry as a whole. | |
Hmm... Well, I'm willing to give it a shot, but I can't promise I'll be of any help. I mean, I still don't understand why children adore me so much. | |
And that's exactly why I want your help, Maki. Because you're loved by children for some reason. I look forward to learning from you, Ms. Harukawa! |
How can I make this into a lifelong career? | |
---|---|
Kotoko, are you ever going to return to the entertainment industry? | |
Not a chance! I'm going back to being a normal girl! | |
Oh... That's a shame. But I guess it's true that not everyone who finds themselves with success actually wants it... ...and not everyone who wants success will be able to find it--or keep it if they do. | |
I, for one, can't understand why anyone would want to be in an industry infested with filthy adults. | |
I'm sure by now you've come to understand just how much responsibility it is to be adorable? You *are* as adorbs as they come. The more time you spend around those ugly adults, the sooner you'll want to rid the world of them. | |
You're right that this isn't an industry where you can survive on nothing but dreams and ideals. | |
But that doesn't invalidate the beauty of the dreams idols showed me as a child. I want to be a part of that world forever. | |
It would be one thing if only weirdos like you who enjoyed that hell got suckered into it. | |
But well, none of that matters anymore! I'm going to go play with Monaca! | |
I reflected on some things you need to survive as an idol: desire, good luck, and determination. |
Summer Festival[]
There's a festival underway where you can try things unrelated to your talent! I'm working in the kitchen at the restaurant, helping people out as they need it! | |
---|---|
Hm... I'm totally free, but some of the other staff seem to be having trouble. Can I help? |
Do you need help seasoning, Keebo? | |
---|---|
Yes, please. A customer is asking for a more intense flavor, but I can only follow recipes. | |
So, um... You can't adjust the seasoning because you can't taste it yourself? | |
No worries! I'll be your taste tester, so you make the changes, and I'll rate them for you. | |
Okay. Yeah, you're right, I'll never grow if I always rely on others to cover my weaknesses! | |
I became Keebo's taste tester and assisted him in his journey to reach the perfect seasoning! |
Did you have a run-in with the customers, Tenko? | |
---|---|
I cannot believe I've allowed myself to waste your time over some damned degenerate males! | |
So... You had a dispute with some customers? | |
I'm terribly sorry. I know I should be spreading Neo-Aikido instead of engaging in catfights. | |
Fortunately, they were your classmates, so I'm sure we can come to an amicable resolution. | |
I cheered her on as she begrudgingly apologized! |
Kurokuma's not doing cleanup like he should be. | |
---|---|
Whoa there, babe. You seem to think I'm skipping out on work, but I'm doing a very important job! | |
My mere presence inspires awe in all who see it AND opens their wallets at light speed! | |
Well, good for you. Now, could you clean up these broken dishes? | |
That sweet smile belies a heart of ice! But MAN is it a lovely smile, so yes! I'll work! | |
Kurokuma refused to stop chattering, so I made him take the trash out too. |
Campfire[]
It's been a wild ride, but our time here is almost over. We're having a bonfire as a send-off! | |
---|---|
If this is the end...why don't I make some memories all for myself? |
I'll sing my favorite songs to my heart's content. | |
---|---|
Thank you for the backing, Ibuki. It's a lot easier to sing along to an instrument. | |
You can rely on me for whatever you need. Tonight, you have my guitar! | |
That song just now, that was a popular idol song when we were kids, huh? Is it memorable for you? | |
Yes. It's what inspired me to become an idol. | |
Aha, I knew it! You can't be an idol without admiring idols, after all. | |
I'll betcha that plenty of little tykes who're singing your songs will become idols themselves! | |
If that's true...I couldn't be happier. | |
I sang lots of songs I love! |
I really do love being an idol. | |
---|---|
A request...for you? F-From me? | |
Please feel free to ask anything. Think of it as a performance with the set list decided by fans! | |
That's wasted on me! At least ask someone like... Right, my brother! Let's have Naegi help too! | |
He's so normie though, so his requests would look like the pop bestseller chart... | |
If that's what he wants to hear, I'd be happy performing any song. | |
There's a reason those songs are so widely listened to--I truly believe they contain power. | |
I performed song requests for Komaru and others! |
I like feeling like a princess now and then. | |
---|---|
Is it my turn? I'll do anything I can. | |
An idol serves her fans without pause... It's my job to offer you respite. | |
Um, to start, I'd like dessert, and tea to match. And could you help me with stretches? | |
Certainly. However...this is hardly different from usual. | |
Please leave everything to me. I shall ensure you're as comfortable and relaxed as possible. | |
In that case...I'll live in luxury for a bit. I'll have the chef's selection course, please. | |
Kirumi treated me like a real princess! |
With Swimsuits[]
- Event triggered when playing Development Mode using an S Rank or UR Rank card.
With Swimsuits | |
---|---|
Sorry to keep you waiting. It took longer than expected to get ready. | |
Nah girl, no bigs. We're still waitin' on a couple stragglers anyway. | |
Y-Yeah... | |
Ohoho, what's gotten into you now, Makoto!? Enraptured by the sight of Sayaka, are you!? | |
N-No, I'm... | |
... | |
I mean, maybe, yes, probably... | |
No need to squirm! Anyone'd be head over heels for an international sensation in her bikini! | |
Go on, tell her what you think. She's *dying* from the anticipation. | |
Oh for the... Like, shut *up* man. You're only making it harder for the poor boy. | |
Hey, uh, Sayaka...? | |
Have you seen what they're serving at the beach hut? I wasn't expecting it to be so extravagant. | |
Why don't we go try out the shaved ice while we're waiting for everyone else to show up? | |
Yeah, good idea. I'm in. | |
Man, I haven't swam like that in ages! And Kaito and Himiko buried in the sand was hilarious! | |
Gonta so sorry! Gonta leave to go play without unbury you... | |
Nyeeeh, it's fine, okay... Let's go back. I'm starving after all that running around. | |
Come on, Makoto. We should head back too. | |
I can't remember the last time I got to play at the beach like this. I had a lot of fun. | |
Yeah, me too. | |
So hey, uh, Sayaka? I completely missed my chance before, but... | |
...that swimsuit is lovely on you. | |
Thank you so much. | |
Idols get paraded around in their swimsuits all the time, so I was afraid you might not care. | |
N-No, of course not! | |
I mean, I care about more than the swimsuit, of course, but it *does* look great too. | |
Hehe. I'm glad to hear it. |
My Future...[]
- Event triggered when playing Development Mode using a UR Rank card.
Requires the player to have seen all other Friendship events during the run.
My Future... | |
---|---|
I present to you Sayaka Maizono's new solo track, "Wishing on the Stars (Piano Version)"! | |
Thank you, everyone! Tonight made for many more wonderful memories! | |
That was amazing, Sayaka. | |
Your upbeat performances are always fun, but I really enjoyed the mellow atmosphere. | |
Couldn't be me! Consider me pumped though! And Kaede's piano arrangement was the *bomb*! | |
Thank you so much. This concert under the stars couldn't have happened without her. | |
Idols sure are something. Kinda funny, I never thought they could be so versatile. | |
An earnest effort to deliver smiles to the people. Truly the embodiment of human beauty... | |
It's impossible not to think about Sayaka's efforts on this wonderful night! I'm deeply moved! | |
I suddenly feel like I need to push myself harder. Thanks for that, Sayaka. | |
This was the culmination of everything I've learned. Your compliments mean the world to me. | |
I had no idea you were putting so much into solo work. | |
Don't tell me you're planning to break off from the group! | |
Whoa. I-Is that what's going on? | |
Now, now. There are no plans of the sort at this point in time. | |
After I graduate from Hope's Peak Academy, I fully intend to work hard with my group. | |
Phew! That's what the Sayaka I know would do. My heart skipped a beat or three. | |
But nothing lasts forever. I understand that. | |
I'm sure the day will come when we eventually decide to walk our own paths. | |
I guess...but man, hearing it straight from you really bums me out. | |
Yes...it is sort of a bummer to think about. I kind of feel the same way. | |
I'd love to work together with my dear friends as idols together, forever and ever. | |
It is a very human wish indeed to desire the eternal preservation of such a beautiful time... | |
But it makes me realize...all of us classmates are about to part and walk our own paths... | |
It is sad, yes, but it also makes me feel hopeful. It's encouraging, isn't it? | |
It is. We'll all be working hard out there somewhere. Even me. | |
Yeah. I think I feel the same way. | |
So if the day comes when I part from my group... I'll try to look at it the same way. | |
Or that's what I'm telling myself. Who knows how I'll feel when that day actually comes. | |
Needless to say, I plan to work with my idol group for a long time to come, so please support us! | |
Of course. You'll keep inspiring me and I'll keep at it. | |
Right...and I'll be cheering on all of you all the while. |
Appearances in Special Events for Other Characters[]
Potential of Talent[]
Who knows a thing or two about chasing dreams? (Makoto Naegi) | |
---|---|
New potential, in *my* talent? What in the world am I supposed to do? | |
Aren't you performing a concert here soon? I can't believe I get to see you on stage from so close up... | |
Kaede, Ibuki, Himiko, Junko, and I have so many things planned for this...so please get hype! | |
I can't wait! Sometimes I get jealous of people who can collaborate with their talents. | |
It's not like anyone needs an Ultimate Lucky Student for their big project. | |
But maybe it also means you can follow any path you want, know what I mean? | |
Oh? | |
For instance, it's difficult imagining collaborating with someone like, say... Mondo or Kyoko, whose talents couldn't be any less complementary to mine. | |
Yeah... I can't really see that happening. | |
But you, Makoto? You could work with anybody. That's how I feel, anyway. | |
Really? | |
I'm proud to be an idol, of course! But... | |
Our talents take a distinct, tangible form, so we're quick to wield them as our weapons. We have the tendency to do so, at least. But you're different, Makoto. | |
I've never thought about it like that... | |
You'll find your weapon soon enough, I'm sure. | |
Well, um... was that helpful to you at all? | |
Huh? How'd you know I was looking for advice? | |
Hehe, I'm psychic, remember? | |
Thanks to Sayaka, I gained a new perspective! |
Summer Festival[]
I have a super nutritious veggie juice, Sayaka! (Aoi Asahina) | |
---|---|
I've been assigned to a drink stall, but sitting around and waiting for customers is no fun. I'll just have to make some noise and bring customers in myself! Drinks for everyone! I have a super nutritious veggie juice, Sayaka! | |
That sounds great. Can I have one? | |
Booyah! You must be exhausted from working at your restaurant, so please, drink up! | |
I also have pastries, if you want. A special gift just for you, not for sale! | |
Hehe. If you were an idol, Aoi, you'd make for a formidable rival. | |
Huh!? What!? There's no WAY I could ever be an idol! | |
Me and Sayaka ate pastries and chatted together! |
Sayaka would make a great leader! (Kaito Momota) | |
---|---|
I'm tasked to run a restaurant, so I'll have to delegate the various tasks... Guess I'll start by figuring out the manager! Normally, I'd be the boss, hands down, but... | |
I'm gonna step out of my comfort zone this time. So! Who's in the mood for some responsibility!? Sayaka would make a great leader! | |
I do take center stage in my idol group, but I've never been an actual leader before... | |
I'm game to round up and support staff though! Wish me luck! | |
Nice! I'm counting on you! I'm sure you'll make an excellent leader! | |
With Maizono as our leader, our day is planned! |
The restaurant should have a good vantage point. (Kyoko Kirigiri) | |
---|---|
The Monokubs are going to put on a fireworks show to close out the festival. I've finished my assignment, so I could go back, but hmm... A little fun never hurt anyone. The restaurant should have a good vantage point. | |
Kyoko? Sorry, but we're closed. | |
That's okay. I'm not here to eat, just to watch the fireworks from somewhere I can sit. | |
My question is, what are *you* doing here alone? | |
I'm relishing the moment before I head out and go meet up with everyone else. | |
How do you mean? | |
This festival was my first time being in charge of something, and doing restaurant work. | |
But I made it. We all worked together to bring this festival to reality, and I feel incredible. | |
I also feel kind of...strange. I've learned that I can handle work outside the idol industry too. | |
It's all so much. I'm sorry for dumping this all on you, Kyoko. | |
Not at all. It was very educational. | |
Sayaka and I watched the fireworks together, occasionally chatting in between blasts. |
Campfire[]
Talking about memories isn't so bad now and then. (Angie Yonaga) | |
---|---|
Ooh, this atmosphere is simply divine. It reminds me of the weddings back on my island. Talking about memories isn't so bad now and then. | |
You did a great job while we ran the restaurant at the festival, Angie. | |
We were so busy, and you'd notice faster than anyone when a customer needed a refill of water. | |
Have you worked in a restaurant before? | |
Oh, no. I simply let the voice of Atua guide me. | |
Atua knows all, after all. Tending to the needs of customers is nothing! | |
Really? Either way, you were a huge help. | |
I'm usually the one being served, so it was a refreshing change of pace. | |
I looked back on a valuable experience... |
Right, I wanted to ask Sayaka something. (Kaede Akamatsu) | |
---|---|
Hmm...I guess people usually sit around a bonfire and talk about memories and stuff, huh? Right, I wanted to ask Sayaka something. | |
The secret...to my smile? | |
Yeah! You know, like, how is it always so radiant? I wish my smile was even half as wonderful. | |
I'm making more and more public appearances, so I need my smile to be at the top of its game. | |
I think your smile is already plenty wonderful! But if you want to make it better... Let's see... | |
Cast aside your embarrassment and practice expressions in front of a mirror. | |
Also compare it to your expressions on stage. You're photographed for news articles, right? | |
Yeah, constantly. I'm more interested in the articles, so I rarely even notice my expression. | |
Try to do that. The best thing you can do is stay mindful of your expression and keep practicing. | |
But there's more to it than just expressions. | |
Making others want to smile and cheer... That's what truly creates my own smile. | |
But...I don't think you have anything to worry about when it comes to making people smile. | |
I don't know... I hope you're right. | |
Sayaka watched over my smiling practice! |
I'll go talk with Sayaka. (Monomi) | |
---|---|
This is the perfect opportunity for love love! I wanna kick back and chat with everyone too! I'll go talk with Sayaka. | |
You always greet me with a smile... I'll be sad to see you go. | |
Even after you graduate, I promise to watch over you through TV and the Internet. | |
Thank you so much. So you use the Internet too, Monomi? | |
Just a little. I can at least operate a tablet with these hands. | |
But sometimes, the screen won't respond no matter how many times I touch it... | |
In that case, how about trying voice input? It might make your life a little easier. | |
Now that you mention it, I guess that does exist! | |
I was so focused on what I can't do with my hands, I haven't even thought of alternative methods. | |
Thank you so much! Starting right this instant, I'll be keeping up with your social media daily! | |
Hehe, please do. I'd be delighted if you continued to watch over me. | |
Sayaka told me about her social media activities! |
With Swimsuits[]
With Swimsuits (Tsumugi Shirogane) | |
---|---|
Sorry for the wait. Is everyone already swimming? | |
Nope, not yet! We're inflating the rubber boat we rented. | |
But wow, Tsumugi. You exceeded my expectations. You look sexy AND cute! | |
Hmm, I think I'd have preferred if you pointed out that I'm not wearing anything plain! | |
I never thought of you as plain, but I am a bit surprised. I mean that in a good way, of course. | |
I've never seen you wear those colors before. It's so vibrant and beautiful! | |
I never expected to wear these decidedly not-plain colors outside of cosplaying. I just felt like this color was calling my name when I was looking for a swimsuit... | |
Um, plainly put, it matches the color of my favorite character. | |
But didn't you show me a black and red pouch which you said was your favorite's colors? | |
Does that mean you changed favorite characters? | |
It hasn't really changed, per se. I'm just going down a new rabbit hole right now... | |
I still love the other character, I just have even more things to be happy about as a result! | |
It's not uncommon for an idol fan to have more than one favorite idol too. | |
Idols are often wonderful people, so I can understand that. | |
I see, so you have multiple favorites. And unlike relationships, it's not considered cheating! | |
Actually, I love Chopin, Schubert, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff--I'd never be able to pick one. | |
There are some who dedicate their support to a single idol as well. Everyone's different! | |
The grandeur of black-haired, red-eyed character is eternal to me, but not exclusive. | |
Um...it sounds kinda complicated. | |
Oops, sorry about that tanget. Otaku have a bad habit of going on forever if you let them. | |
It's a different joy than becoming the character yourself, but a warm feeling all the same. That's what it feels like to wear the colors of my favorite character. | |
Ah, I think I get what you mean. | |
My parents once bought me a dress that matched the colors of my then favorite idol... | |
Wow, looks like they're having fun... I'm getting kinda jealous. |
My Future...[]
My Future... (Ibuki Mioda) | |
---|---|
Thanks for coming out tonight! That was Monomi on vocals and the one and only moi on guitar! | |
Yes, thank you so much for being here. I was scared at first, but that was fun. | |
Hah. You sure know how to shred, little Ibuki. Not that you'd stand a chance against me! | |
Mhmm, it was a very pleasant performance. And there's a charm to Monomi's awkward singing. | |
That was a lovely song--sweet and bouncy, but with a powerful core. Not what I would expect from you. | |
Yeah, it's way outside my wheelhouse, but this one was for Monomi, not me! | |
I've never tried composing for anyone else before, but it was a blast! | |
And this is a secret, but I've actually got a few more in my back pocket for other people! | |
Fascinating. I'd love to hear more. | |
You spoke up, so I'll play yours first, Rantaro | |
Huh? My song? | |
I haven't wrote the lyrics yet, so you'll have to make do with some humming instead~ Mhmhmmm! | |
Wow. It has a kind of exotic elegance, just like Rantaro. | |
Is that how people see me? Wow, I never would have imagined. | |
I'm really glad you like it! I packed it with every single thing I think about you, Rantaro! | |
You're up next, Tsumugi! Fwofwoom fwoom, whah wah, bam bam! | |
Th-That certainly was some obnoxious otaku bait. Not at all to my liking. | |
I loved it, personally. It was like a medley of anime theme songs from my childhood. | |
I took inspiration from all the hits of our generation and mixed them up with my own flavor! | |
Next better is you, Toko! Zing zing, za-zaaam! Badabada-bing! | |
Why... Why does that sound like your usual dreck!? | |
Do you even have ears, you nasty washrag? This sounds nothing like her usual music! | |
I don't have the sanity to spare listening to that kind of noise. | |
Structurally it's similar to my solo parts, yeah! But I want to know what lyrics you'd write for it! | |
You're incredible, Ibuki. How many songs did you write during camp? | |
Nah, I barely got through half of what I wanted to do! I was hoping to write one for everyone here! | |
I was thinking back on my time here and realized how little I hung out with some of you peeps! | |
Between that, getting washed out to sea, surrounded by Monobeasts... | |
...there just wasn't enough time to write it all! So finishing will be my post-camp homework! | |
Once I've got them all done, I'll send the songs out to you guys, so look forward to that! | |
As long as mine is like Monomi's or Rantaro's and not loud or scary, I can't wait! | |
Oh, I would love the chance to sing a song written for me by you, Ibuki. I'm so excited. |
My Future... (Kirumi Tojo) | |
---|---|
Oh hello, Kirumi. Ryoma. Cleanup taking longer than expected? | |
We haven't been at it for that long. The kitchen was occupied for some time after dinner-- | |
Teruteru was giving Rantaro cooking lessons, and I had other business elsewhere. | |
Really? That's an unusual pairing. | |
Sounds like Rantaro wants to be able to make Japanese food while traveling and came for advice. | |
I dropped in for a drink and they roped me into doing taste testing for them. | |
You should have come by sooner, had some yourself. It was surprisingly good. | |
I wish I had. So you're helping with cleanup to pay back for the free food? | |
No. I just... I wanted to do something positive, I guess. | |
Huh? | |
Ryoma has been assisting with janitorial duties throughout the duration of this camp. | |
But always in secret, late at night or early in the morning so no one would run into him. | |
He has? | |
It was only ever to make myself feel better. No one was supposed to know. | |
How could I have guessed you would figure it out because I put one thing back in the wrong place? | |
And thanks to your help, I had additional time to spend preparing meals and assisting other people. | |
I had been looking for a way to better manage my time, you provided me with the answer. | |
So that means...you were able to help out so much with the class barbeque and my dance lessons... | |
...because of the time Ryoma freed up for you? Thank you so much. | |
Don't. I barely put a dent in her work. And without her guidance, I would have been useless. | |
Now, no need to put yourself down. Teaching you proved to be a valuable experience. | |
Your assistance allowed me to help other people, which taught me the power of organized labor. | |
Not sure you could call a pair "organized labor." You need a few more heads on your side for that. | |
I suppose so. Maybe I should recruit more people to help me. | |
My time at this camp has served as a reminder of just how many people I would like to support. | |
But try as I might, there is only so much I can do at one time. | |
With additional hands available to me, I could perform all the aid I want, and more efficiently. | |
You're already one of a kind, Kirumi. | |
The thought of a whole army of maids on your level is both terrifying and exciting. | |
You'd make for a formidable rival if you ever chose to form an idol group. | |
Fear not. We will continue to work behind the scenes to allow stars like you to shine bright. | |
That makes it sound like you've already got an army of assistants lined up. | |
Indeed. I am in the process of developing a business plan alongside Byakuya. | |
Wait, really? You don't let anything get in your way, huh. | |
We are still short on hands though. If you have any interest, let one of us know. | |
I have a great respect for the sincerity and pure-heartedness with which you approached your work. | |
A life spent in support of others is a life of immeasurable value. | |
Heh. It ain't really my thing, but...thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in the back of my mind. |
My Future... (Tenko Chabashira) | |
---|---|
Here goes nothing... Eh! | |
...Like that? | |
Yes, perfect! If some disgusting degenerate male grabs your hand, shake yourself free like that! | |
You really are a fast learner, Sayaka! I guess that comes with constantly learning dances, huh? | |
It's all thanks to your teaching methods, Tenko. You're very easy to understand and follow. | |
Th-That's not it at all! I still have a looong way to go... | |
Sayaka isn't just flattering you. I learned self-defense quickly thanks to you too. | |
You're proactive and give practice your all. It's your strength to thank, not me, Kaede. | |
Stars like you two who attract the attention of degenerate males need to know some self-defense. | |
If I was even a little helpful, I'm honored! | |
If it weren't for you, learning self-defense never would have even occurred to me. | |
Exactly! You might have saved us from some serious trouble in the future. | |
I-I'm deeply moved hearing that... I feel like I've grown as a Savior of Justice! | |
Huh? Savior...of Justice? | |
Please forget you ever heard that! It's supposed to be a secret! | |
R-Really? I got it then. | |
Oh, right! I forgot something important! | |
You two are in good shape, and it'd hardly be an exaggeration to say you're self-defense masters... | |
But if a degenerate male poses a threat to you, you don't actually have to fight him. | |
You can run as fast as you can, call for help...or even use nearby males as human shields! | |
Using human shields seems kinda... But I understand what you're trying to say. | |
In other words, fighting isn't always the answer. | |
You never know what a degenerate male will do! | |
I doubt men are the only danger...but I'll certainly keep your advice in mind. | |
Please do. I'd never forgive myself if something were to happen to you two. | |
But that should go for you too, Tenko. | |
You're strong and know all sorts of techniques, but... | |
The way you stick your neck into trouble caused by boys does worry me a little. | |
Huh? | |
She's right. You don't need to resolve everything yourself. Stay safe and let others help too. | |
It's fine around our classmates...but in the outside world, who knows what might happen. | |
R-Right... I'll be careful. | |
When witnessing a degenerate male committing a misdeed, first call the police! Even I know that! | |
But wow, I thought I was showing concern for you two, but how quickly the tables have turned... | |
I'm a little embarrassed! Nothing beats the wonderful compassion of a girl's heart! |
