[00:04] Noelle
    We entered the Shower of Sound Festival,
[00:09] Noelle
    but when we uploaded our practice video,
[00:12] Noelle
    people said all kinds of terrible
    things about marumaru.
[00:15] (Flashback) Miracle
    You can stay as you are, marumaru!
[00:19] Noelle
    We felt the same as she did,
    so the five of us all entered.
[00:23] Noelle
    It felt great!
[00:26] Noelle
    But then, they started to bash Miracle.
[00:30] Noelle
    marumaru saw it and said...
[00:32] (Flashback) Quan
    Quan...
[00:33] (Flashback) Quan
    My name.
[00:35] Noelle
    She came to us reborn in the
    form of a beautiful girl!
[00:39] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[00:50] [SONG] Song
    The ground I stood on only looked distorted
[00:55] [SONG] Song
    Because I saw it through tears of frustration
[01:00] [SONG] Song
    But standing still isn’t like me!
[01:05] [SONG] Song
    So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
[01:11] [SONG] Song
    No matter how many times I
    get discouraged, I still love it
[01:15] [SONG] Song
    I believe in my friends, and in
    the me that’s chasing my dream
[01:24] [SONG] Song
    Let our sparkling minds spout up
[01:26] [SONG] Song
    Ride on this future wave!
    We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
[01:31] [SONG] Song
    Race through with all our might
    to find the sky we want to see
[01:36] [SONG] Song
    Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
    is my new starting line, over and over without end
[01:42] [SONG] Song
    Ride toward the future! The next step we take
[01:47] [SONG] Song
    Will give rise to opportunity, as
    much as all the courage we have
[01:51] [SONG] Song
    Our shared wish binds us together
    as we ride this tailwind
[01:57] [SONG] Song
    How far can we go? With
    our hands linked tightly
[02:02] [SONG] Song
    Let’s go all the way, until
    we reach the greatest stage
[02:09] Miracle
    I've got a huge announcement for everyone!
[02:10] Sign
    Stage of Fate
[02:10] Sign
    Stage of Fate
[02:12] Riz
    Announcement?
[02:14] Miracle
    Get this!
[02:15] Miracle
    Quan will be entering the race for the VGAs!
[02:20] Miracle
    Yay!
[02:22] Noelle
    Really?
[02:24] Quan
    I thought about it a lot,
    but this is my choice.
[02:28] Miracle
    So we'll all enter the
     Virtual Grid Awards together!
[02:32] Chris
    Okay, let's do our best.
[02:35] Noelle
    Let's go over this again, then.
[02:37] Noelle
    If you want to make it through the qualifiers,
    you need to place in the top 15.
[02:42] Miracle
    Wow, Noelle's in 5th place.
[02:44] Miracle
    Riz is in 8th, and Chris is in 15th!
[02:47] Miracle
    You're already there!
[02:49] Noelle
    That isn't the problem.
[02:51] Noelle
    Look at your own ranking.
[02:53] Miracle
    I'm... 43rd.
[02:57] Miracle
    I'm still not there.
[02:58] Noelle
    Take it seriously.
[02:59] Miracle
    But I think I can make it
    if I try hard enough!
[03:01] Noelle
    You're not going to get depressed?
[03:03] Riz
    What about you, Quan?
[03:05] Quan
    61st.
[03:06] Miracle
    Wow! And you just entered!
[03:09] Chris
    That last stream got a lot of attention.
[03:13] Riz
    Listen. The qualifiers end in a week.
[03:18] Riz
    Everybody's upping lots of videos.
[03:21] Noelle
    The rankings are changing all the time.
[03:24] Noelle
    Both of you need to do whatever
    it takes to get in the top 15!
[03:27] Quan
    Yeah.
[03:27] Miracle
    Roger!
[03:28] Quan
    But what kind of stream should we do?
[03:31] Miracle
    I know!
[03:33] Sign
    MiraQuan Super-Meeting
[03:33] Miracle
    It's the MiraQuan...
[03:34] Quan
    Super-Meeting!
[03:36] Miracle
    Let's all discuss how Quan
    and I can get in the top 15!
[03:41] Miracle
    Noelle!
[03:42] Noelle
    Work really hard!
[03:44] Miracle
    Tell me what to work hard at... Riz-san!
[03:47] Riz
    At coming up with a way to win!
[03:50] Miracle
    That's what I'm asking!
[03:52] Noelle
    We can't just come up with something!
[03:53] Miracle
    Thanks for your support!
[03:57] Miracle
    Well?
[03:59] Chris
    We all lost 1 rank apiece.
[04:01] Miracle
    Why?!
[04:03] Noelle
    You're not thinking at all...
[04:06] Quan
    Hey...
[04:07] Quan
    Can we do another concert?
[04:10] Quan
    With the five of us!
[04:13] Noelle
    That's right. Last time,
    you went as marumaru...
[04:17] Chris
    But if we do a collab concert with Quan,
    who everyone's talking about,
[04:20] Chris
    we'll definitely go viral.
[04:22] Miracle
    Great! Let's do it.
[04:24] Noelle
    Wait.
[04:26] Noelle
    I thought it was a good idea too, but...
[04:29] Girl
    Everyone, the four of us will
    be doing a collab concert
[04:33] Girl
    to get into the Virtual Grid Awards today!
[04:37] Riz
    Since Shower of Sound, a lot of people
    at ADEN have been forming units.
[04:42] Noelle
    Yeah, you can team up with students
    from anywhere in the world.
[04:47] Chris
    Some groups have already gone viral.
[04:49] Miracle
    Then we should do our own stream, too!
[04:52] Riz
    No, I think if we did it now,
    not many people would care.
[04:56] Miracle
    Why?
[04:58] Riz
    With this stuff if you don't get it right the
     first time, you won't leave any impression.
[05:03] Noelle
    We'd need to do an amazing concert,
    like one nobody's ever done...
[05:09] Miracle
    Then let's do an amazing concert!
[05:12] Miracle
    We've still got a week!
[05:14] Miracle
    Let's do something big
    that'll shock everyone!
[05:19] Chris
    Any ideas?
[05:21] Miracle
    Well, I'll think about that starting now!
[05:25] Noelle
    You're always like this...
[05:27] Miracle
    But...
[05:33] Auris
    Hello there, Lapin d'Or Ada.
[05:36] Auris
    What's the woman in charge
    of the VGAs doing here?
[05:42] Ada
    Principal Auris,
[05:44] Ada
    it seems all the students
    at ADEN are working hard.
[05:48] Auris
    Yes, thank you.
[05:49] Ada
    But can you explain what's
    happening right now?
[05:53] Auris
    What are you referring to?
[05:55] Ada
    Lately it's been popular for students to
    join up with others and do collab concerts.
[06:02] Auris
    Is that a problem?
[06:05] Ada
    There's nothing wrong with collabs,
    but they're all looking the same.
[06:11] Ada
    If you want to call yourself an artist,
[06:13] Ada
    shouldn't you try to have your own
    originality that nobody else can copy?
[06:21] Ada
    If connecting with someone else kills what
    makes you unique, then it means nothing.
[06:27] Auris
    So you're telling me to ban
     collab concerts for the students?
[06:32] Ada
    I'll let you decide.
[06:35] Auris
    I understand your point of view.
[06:38] Ada
    Then...
[06:39] Auris
    Sometimes connecting with someone else
[06:42] Auris
    can let you create something you
    could never have made on your own.
[06:46] Auris
    I want to maximize that possibility.
[06:50] Auris
    Why don't you give them a little more time?
[06:56] Ada
    If you insist.
[07:07] Chris
    Where's Miracle?
[07:08] Noelle
    She said she was going to
[07:10] Noelle
    "Do something big that'll shock everyone!"
[07:13] Noelle
    But then she never came up with an idea...
[07:19] Quan
    Um...
[07:20] Miracle
    Hey!
[07:22] Miracle
    I got a good idea just before I left.
[07:25] Noelle
    What was it?
[07:29] Miracle
    Well...
[07:31] Miracle
    "PathTLive"!
[07:33] Noelle
    What's that?
[07:36] Miracle
    The name of our unit!
[07:39] Chris
    What does it mean?
[07:41] Miracle
    Um... "Path" is the path we follow.
    "Live" is the lives we live.
[07:45] Miracle
    It means the five of us were apart, then
    came together to all follow the same path!
[07:50] Noelle
    It's a wonderful name.
[07:52] Miracle
    Right?
[07:52] Noelle
    But right now you need to be
    thinking of concert ideas...
[07:58] Miracle
    Hey, Quan.
[08:00] Miracle
    Let's make PathTLive a success!
[08:05] Quan
    Yeah.
[08:08] Chris
    What is it?
[08:10] Riz
    We might be better off not
    doing a collab concert.
[08:13] Miracle
    Why?
[08:15] Students
    What's this about?
[08:17] Students
    Why did this happen?
[08:19] Riz
    The rankings for everybody who did
    a collab concert all dropped.
[08:25] Riz
    The system was changed so that
    collabs aren't rewarded.
[08:29] Miracle
    Changed? Why?
[08:32] Riz
    I don't know. But...
[08:34] Riz
    It's a fact that your ranking
    basically stops going up.
[08:37] Miracle
    No... What do we do then?
[08:46] Quan
    But... why?
[08:48] Vanity
    Principal Auris, there's been an error
    with the ADEN Seed judging system.
[08:55] Vanity
    We're fixing it now.
[08:57] Auris
    No need.
[09:00] Auris
    Let's see what happens.
[09:09] Sign
    The Next Day
[09:10] Riz
    Ever since then, everybody's stopped doing
    collab concerts and just done their own thing.
[09:15] Riz
    What about us?
[09:17] Miracle
    I think the five of us should...
[09:18] Noelle
    We should all do our own thing.
[09:21] Miracle
    Noelle!
[09:23] Noelle
    Do you not want to be in
    the Virtual Grid Awards?
[09:26] Miracle
    I do! That's why the five of us...
[09:29] Noelle
    Your rank won't go up if
    you do a collab concert!
[09:33] Miracle
    We don't know that until we try!
[09:36] Miracle
    It feels to me that together, we can
    all make something nobody's ever seen.
[09:42] Quan
    Miracle...
[09:43] Miracle
    So Noelle... let's do it together!
[09:47] Noelle
    Get your head out of the clouds!
[09:50] Noelle
    Accept reality!
[09:54] Miracle
    Noelle...
[09:56] Riz
    I understand how you feel.
[09:58] Miracle
    Then...
[09:59] Riz
    But my calculations show that
    we've got a better chance
[10:03] Riz
    of making it in the top 15
    if we all do our own thing.
[10:06] Miracle
    But...
[10:07] Chris
    Miracle...
[10:11] Miracle
    Fine.
[10:14] Miracle
    It'd be stupid if we ended up
     not even qualifying.
[10:18] Miracle
    We can all just do our own thing now.
[10:21] Quan
    Miracle!
[10:26] Miracle
    I'll see you all next...
    at the main event stage.
[10:44] Students
    Today's the day they're announcing the
    top 15 who made it through the qualifiers!
[10:48] Students
    How many will be coming from
    our school, ADEN Theta?
[10:52] Students
    Just a few hours left...
[10:54] Students
    Everybody's upping their last videos!
[10:57] Chris
    I cleared it.
SIGN    Wow! A new record!
SIGN    But she's so calm.
SIGN    Chris's game livestreams are the best!
[11:03] (Flashback) Chris
    Even if I can't overcome something
    on my own, with you, Miracle...
[11:11] Chris
    Is this really what I should be doing?
[11:20] (Flashback) Noelle
    Miracle, I'm going to try writing lyrics.
[11:23] (Flashback) Miracle
    Great!
[11:25] Noelle
    It's thanks to her that
    I was able to change...
[11:31] Noelle
    Thanks to her...
[11:35] Noelle
    But...
[11:36] Noelle
    Is this really what I should be doing?
[11:41] (Flashback) Riz
    Let's be friends, Miracle.
[11:43] (Flashback) Riz
    I'm really interested in you!
[11:47] Riz
    Something had started to change
    in me after meeting Miracle.
[11:52] Riz
    But now, she's not here...
[11:59] (Flashback) marumaru
    I'm actually really lame.
[12:03] (Flashback) Miracle
    That's not true!
[12:05] (Flashback) Miracle
    Because you've helped me out with so much!
[12:09] Quan
    That's what I should be saying.
[12:13] Quan
    Now it's my turn.
[12:16] Quan
    What I can do now is...
[12:23] Vanity
    Miracle-san, time's almost up.
[12:26] Vanity
    Don't you want to do one last concert?
[12:30] Miracle
    This is my last chance.
[12:32] Miracle
    I need to do an amazing stream
    that will get me in the top 15!
[12:38] Miracle
    No... I don't know what to do!
[12:40] Miracle
    I don't know what to do...
    what to rely on...
[12:47] Miracle
    Tell me...
[12:48] Miracle
    What path should I follow?
[13:00] Miracle
    The path I should follow is...
[13:14] [SONG] Song
    ...won't be afraid anymore;
    I'll transcend the reason I was born
[13:15] Miracle
    Hey, AI-chan. I've worked so hard
[13:18] Miracle
    because I wanted to stand on the stage of
    the Virtual Grid Awards, like you did.
[13:19] [SONG] Song
    I'll reach out toward tomorrow
    and change the world
[13:23] Miracle
    I still have that dream.
[13:26] Miracle
    But... I have a new dream, too.
[13:30] Miracle
    It's to follow the same path as my friends.
[13:34] Miracle
    AI-chan...
[13:35] Miracle
    You said you wanted to connect
    with more people, right?
[13:41] Miracle
    I understand that, AI-chan.
[13:42] Miracle
    I want to connect with the
    people who watch me...
[13:46] Miracle
    And with my wonderful friends!
[13:48] Miracle
    So before it's all over...
[13:50] Quan
    Let's do a concert together.
[13:55] Chris
    I feel the same.
[13:57] Miracle
    Chris!
[13:58] Chris
    I want to connect with you more!
[14:02] Miracle
    Thank you!
[14:05] Quan
    Let's start, then.
[14:06] Miracle
    What are you doing?
[14:08] Quan
    You were the one who said it...
[14:09] Quan
    Do something big that'll shock everyone!
[14:32] Chris
    It's beautiful...
[14:37] Miracle
    Wow! That's incredible!
[14:39] Noelle
    Miracle!
[14:41] Noelle
    I know you said something big, but...
[14:43] Riz
    This is a bit too big, isn't it?
[14:46] Miracle
    Thanks for coming, everyone...
[14:50] Miracle
    Please do a collab concert with me.
[14:54] Noelle
    Are you sure? You might not
    make it in the top 15.
[14:58] Miracle
    But I still want to sing with the five of us.
[15:01] Miracle
    Living in this moment with the four of you...
    I think that's the path I should follow!
[15:10] Noelle
    Oh, fine.
[15:11] Riz
    I'll bet on you, then.
[15:13] Chris
    I'm staying with you.
[15:15] Quan
    PathTLive's first concert
    with the five of us...
[15:17] Quan
    Let's make it a success!
[15:24] Riz
    Did you design these, Quan?
[15:27] Chris
    They're wonderful.
[15:28] Quan
    I was hoping we could wear
    these and do something big.
[15:33] Miracle
    Thank you! Thank you, everyone!
[15:37] Noelle
    But time's almost up.
[15:39] Noelle
    Whose lyrics for the song do we use?
[15:43] Riz
    We fell apart once, but now
    we're connected again!
[15:48] Riz
    So...
[15:50] Miracle
    Let's do it, everyone!
[15:54] All
    Yeah!
[15:57] Miracle's Friend 3
    Look, Miracle and her friends are doing
    something just before time runs out!
[16:03] Auris
    Show me the new possibilities you can only
    find after connecting with someone...
[16:12] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, let's go and find it
[16:16] [SONG] PathTLive
    In a world where eternal feelings connect
[16:29] [SONG] Miracle
    The song I listened to all day when I was little
[16:36] [SONG] Miracle
    If I just sing it as hard as I can, I'll stumble but...
[16:43] [SONG] Riz
    No matter what, I want to be true to myself
[16:50] [SONG] Noelle
    I know somewhere out there, there's a shining stage
[16:55] [SONG] Quan
    I'll sign out from this boring level
[17:02] [SONG] Chris
    I want to jump into the other world
[17:11] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, the light our bonds gave us is what illuminates our dreams
[17:18] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining down so strongly on a me I've never seen
[17:25] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, let's head for a tomorrow that will make your heart feel like it's on fire
[17:33] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, you're not alone
[17:36] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find the person you want to be
[17:49] [SONG] Miracle
    There's a signal that's started aching at the bottom of my heart
[17:56] [SONG] Miracle
    Even if I look away, I can't stop my heart from pounding
[18:03] [SONG] Riz
    I don't need the brake I've been clutching anymore
[18:10] [SONG] Noelle
    Let's head faster and race towards our dreams
[18:16] [SONG] Quan
    Sometimes I'll cry or get down, and I'm still not perfect
[18:22] [SONG] Chris
    But I want to give hope to someone in pain
[18:31] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, let's go beyond where our feelings connect
[18:39] [SONG] PathTLive
    A shooting star that crosses over many nights before finally reaching its destination
[18:46] [SONG] PathTLive
    SHINING-i, if I can access it, I might get so excited my heart will melt
[18:52] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, have courage
[18:56] [SONG] PathTLive
    Reach out your hand towards a bright morning
[19:07] [SONG] Riz/Quan
    The feelings you felt in the corner of your small room
[19:14] [SONG] Chris/Noelle/Miracle
    Will connect beyond the screen and give birth to dreams
[19:21] [SONG] Riz
    Forever and ever
[19:27] [SONG] PathTLive
    I picked up the scattered pieces of past, present, and future and used them to make a map
[19:34] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's a story that's mine alone and I want to believe more strongly in it
[19:41] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, the light our bonds gave us is what illuminates our dreams
[19:48] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining down so strongly on a me I've never seen
[19:55] [SONG] PathTLive
    Shining-i, let's head for a tomorrow that will make your heart feel like it's on fire
[20:02] [SONG] PathTLive
    It's okay, you're not alone
[20:06] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find the person you want to be
[20:12] [SONG] PathTLive
    You'll find a feeling that's eternal
[20:38] Noelle
    That was PathTLive's first song...
[20:42] Miracle
    Wow... all five of our lyrics
    connected and brought us together!
[20:48] Chris
    I was so moved. I was so moved!
[20:51] Riz
    Maybe you're right...
[20:54] Riz
    With the five of us...
[20:57] Quan
    We might be able to create something
    amazing, that nobody's ever seen!
[21:01] Miracle
    PathTLive...
[21:04] Miracle
    is the best!
[21:09] Students
    Wow!
[21:11] Students
    I was shivering!
[21:12] Students
    But collab concerts don't
    really help your rank, right?
[21:15] Students
    What will happen?
[21:23] Vanity
    I will now announce the final rankings for the
    Virtual Grid Awards ADEN Seed qualifiers.
[21:29] Riz
    Here it is!
[21:30] Noelle
    What's Miracle's ranking?
[21:34] Chris
    Miracle, Miracle...
[21:41] Miracle
    I-I made it...

[22:36] [SONG] Song
    I became aware of my love
[22:47] [SONG] Song
    Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
[22:52] [SONG] Song
    So I pull in the rope of truth
[22:57] [SONG] Song
    The neon of the electronic world where
    we intersect is burned into my brain
[23:02] [SONG] Song
    Flashing by in the gaps between
    boring days, a wisp of wind
[23:08] [SONG] Song
    Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
[23:13] [SONG] Song
    The unexpected arrow of my admiration
[23:18] [SONG] Song
    Will reach you, hey, right now
[23:23] [SONG] Song
    I want to see you so
    much, I can't stop crying
[23:26] [SONG] Song
    Baby baby, even though we're tiny
[23:31] [SONG] Song
    I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
[23:37] [SONG] Song
    Maybe maybe, in just a
    little corner of the world
[23:41] [SONG] Song
    If we can overcome thousands of
    nights and connect with each other
[23:47] [SONG] Song
    I am waiting for... forever
