Shu: — Oh my. We cannot afford to waste time involving ourselves with these ludicrous fellows; our performance is soon to begin.
Kagehira, I trust you have thoroughly internalised what it is that we must accomplish.
If you were to claim that this comical exchange has caused your mind to become an expanse of nothingness... Despite my magnanimity, even I would be furious.
Mika: Y-You got it Oshi-san! 'M fit as a fiddle~! ♪ Course, I'd like if ya gave me a good naggin' like how ya always used to, just fer old time's sake, but–
I'm an idol too, yanno!
Fer all the staff who helped make this stage possible, fer all the kids followin' in my wake, and fer all the fans that've come here to see us perform today–
Mika: I wanna do everythin' I can t'make sure they don't feel like they're wastin' precious time from the only life they got by bein' here!
Nah, s'more than that– I wanna show 'em art they'll wanna look at forever an' ever, that they won't regret havin' come t'see...!

Shu: Fufu. There he goes, making a move on his own without thought of waiting. This incomplete human truly cannot be left on his own.
A doll moving on its own would be classified as supernatural phenomena, but... For a human, I suppose that much is to be expected.
And with that. Artissimo, or whatever you called yourself — you are nothing more than hindrances to our performance. Begone at once.
Surely, neither of you wish to be notorious to future generations as fools who would tarnish an artwork that is to leave its mark on history.
Wataru: Of course. Though the goals we strive towards are vastly different, as someone working in the same field, I have every intention of respecting basic etiquette.
Nagisa: ... Yeah. Just as non-religious people have no right to scorn faithful believers, our inexperience with art does not justify us tainting it.
... We expect great things of you, Valkyrie — the supernova bringing brand new colours and light to this little cosmos we lead ♪
Wataru: Fufufu. Supernova implies that they’re exploding, though!
Well, art is sometimes referred to as explosive, and it suits you well, o old friend of mine ♪
Shu: Alright, that’s quite enough out of you two. Make yourselves scarce.
This precious Neverland of ours exists in a dimension free from logic and affairs, unblemished by the filth of secular existence.
Today, as we always do, we will gather our delight and our passion — and dance with grace to create that world.
“ ♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪ ”
Nagisa: ... Fufu. If he's phrasing things that way, I suppose there's nothing else we can do. We insensitive grown-ups should hasten to take our leave.
... Before the hands of the clock catch up to us, and the sea dragon swallows us whole.
... I had heard from Jun that Valkyrie... No, Kagehira Mika-kun, I believe. It seemed that he had been struggling frantically to create their next work...
... So I will admit that I had my concerns, but...
Wataru: Indeed. If Valkyrie looked to be in a predicament, we planned to quietly provide assistance from the shadows.
Which is precisely why, though this JNLC is currently no more than a cheap imitation of a foreign tradition, and no idols worth their salt participate in it, we decided to team up to make an appearance...
So that Shu may be on his guard against this mighty rival with deep ties to him.
We intended to rouse his spirits, but it appears we needn't have worried.
As they are right now, the fetters of the past have no hold on them at all — they’re gracefully soaring towards greater heights.
Wataru: Ah... Though I've come to shy away from striving for the top, in fear of the day that no one understands me...
Watching them is inspiring me, spurring me to attempt such delightful endeavours once again.
Amazing! Oh, how blissfully they fly!
Nagisa: ... Yes. Never before have I thought it such a pity that God did not bestow upon us wings.
Shu: “~ ...... ♪ ”
(Goodness, they cannot even depart in silence.)
(Though I doubt not that they had ulterior motives in being here, from my perspective, they appear to have come purely to hinder us.)
(But no matter — outside forces are no concern of mine. I’ll erase all semblance of terrestrial fetters from my mind — )
(If nowhere else, then at least while I stand up on stage, I shall devote my attention solely to boldly presenting that which I love.)
Shu: (I shall present that which is beautiful, that which is of value. Like the sun itself — )
(Not for the sake of profit, nor for the sake of political conflict, but purely because it is beautiful — I shall present that, parade that for the world to see.)
(That is all I have ever yearned for, since I was but a young boy.)
