**[00:04] Miracle**
*I just made a new friend!*
**[00:07] Miracle**
*Her name's Chris!*
**[00:09] Miracle**
* She told me she really liked the*
* performance I did in class.*
**[00:13] Miracle**
* But she said she didn't know*
* what she liked about it.*
**[00:17] Miracle**
* She decided she might figure*
* it out if she danced to it,*
**[00:20] Miracle**
*and so did the same song...*
**[00:23] Miracle**
*I was amazed! She was incredible!*
**[00:26] Miracle**
*I'm a little frustrated.*
**[00:29] Miracle**
*And then she* kissed *me?!*
**[00:32] Miracle**
*Chris really is a mysterious girl!*
**[00:36] [SONG] Song**
Let’s go all the way, until
we reach the greatest stage
**[00:47] [SONG] Song**
The ground I stood on only looked distorted
**[00:52] [SONG] Song**
Because I saw it through tears of frustration
**[00:57] [SONG] Song**
But standing still isn’t like me!
**[01:02] [SONG] Song**
So I ran like crazy until I was out of breath
**[01:08] [SONG] Song**
No matter how many times I
get discouraged, I still love it
**[01:12] [SONG] Song**
I believe in my friends, and in
the me that’s chasing my dream
**[01:21] [SONG] Song**
Let our sparkling minds spout up
**[01:23] [SONG] Song**
Ride on this future wave!
We’ll go beyond this unstoppable thrill
**[01:28] [SONG] Song**
Race through with all our might
to find the sky we want to see
**[01:33] [SONG] Song**
Each time a dream comes true, the new “now”
is my new starting line, over and over without end
**[01:39] [SONG] Song**
Ride toward the future! The next step we take
**[01:44] [SONG] Song**
Will give rise to opportunity, as
much as all the courage we have
**[01:48] [SONG] Song**
Our shared wish binds us together
as we ride this tailwind
**[01:54] [SONG] Song**
How far can we go? With
our hands linked tightly
**[01:59] [SONG] Song**
Let’s go all the way, until
we reach the greatest stage

Today we're celebrating my winning
the Lapin d'Or four years in a row!
**[02:09] (Flashback) AI**
I'm so happy!
**[02:12] (Flashback) AI**
I'm going to sing a song for you all!
**[02:13] (Flashback) AI**
I'll put my heart and soul
into it, so please listen!
**[02:17] [SONG] Song**
I won't be afraid anymore;
I'll transcend the reason I was born
**[02:23] [SONG] Song**
I'll reach out toward tomorrow
and change the world
**[02:30] (Flashback) AI**
What do you want to be?
**[02:35] (Flashback) Miracle**
I want to be like you!
**[02:38] (Flashback) Miracle**
I want to be a virtual artist like you!
**[02:41] (Flashback) Miracle**
And then...
**[02:43] (Flashback) Miracle**
I want to connect with
lots and lots of people!
**[02:54] Miracle**
AI-chan...
**[02:56] Vanity**
Good morning, Miracle.
**[02:58] Vanity**
Today is registered as an
important day on your calendar.
**[03:02] Vanity**
Will you confirm your schedule?
**[03:04] Miracle**
No, I remember!
**[03:06] Miracle**
I've been waiting for this
day for a long time!
**[03:11] Miracle**
Time to enter the Virtual Grid Awards!
**[03:19] Computer**
*Ready?*
**[03:34] Miracle**
Chris!
**[03:36] Chris**
There you are, Miracle.
**[03:39] Miracle**
Chris! Morning!
**[03:47] Chris**
Morning...
**[03:52] Auris**
Hello, everyone.
**[03:54] Auris**
I'm Principal Auris.
**[03:56] Auris**
As I'm sure you've all seen, entries for
the Virtual Grid Awards are now open.
**[04:00] Miracle**
Yup! Yup!
**[04:01] Auris**
I'll go over the requirements again.
**[04:03] Auris**
To enter the Virtual Grid Awards,
you must first win an ADEN Seed.
**[04:12] Auris**
The ADEN Seed consists of a
qualifier and a main event.
**[04:13] Sign**
Qualifier
**[04:14] Sign**
Main Event
**[04:16] Sign**
Qualifier
**[04:16] Sign**
Main Event
**[04:16] Auris**
You'll compete against other
students who have entered.
**[04:20] Auris**
You will be judged based on your
ADEN Academy channel ranking.
**[04:24] Sign**
ADEN Channel Ranking
**[04:24] Sign**
Score
**[04:24] Auris**
Your ADEN channel ranking,
as of this moment,
**[04:28] Auris**
will become your Virtual Grid Award ranking.
**[04:30] Sign**
VGA
**[04:30] Sign**
ADEN Channel Ranking
**[04:31] Auris**
Your current ADEN channel ranking
**[04:33] Auris**
will be taken into account to
generate your starting score,
**[04:36] Auris**
but your online activities during the entry
period will be given a much greater priority.
**[04:40] Sign**
Start
**[04:41] Auris**
In other words, you're all starting
off on an essentially even footing.
**[04:47] Auris**
If you make it to the top fifteen,
you're through the qualifiers.
**[04:53] Auris**
That number will get smaller and
smaller as the main event proceeds.
**[04:56] Auris**
And the one who wins the ADEN Seed
will be allowed to compete
**[05:01] Auris**
in the Virtual Grid Awards with
others from around the world.
**[05:04] Auris**
You all understand that, right everyone?
**[05:07] Miracle**
Yes!
**[05:07] Auris**
Previously, entrants were allowed
to choose their own music,
**[05:14] Auris**
but this year, we'll be having
everyone sing the same song.
**[05:18] Miracle**
The same song?
**[05:20] Auris**
The song you'll be using was
composed and written by an AI
**[05:26] Auris**
by taking into account the musical
preferences of past VGA winners
**[05:29] Auris**
and the skill level of the entire school.
**[05:32] Auris**
That's kind of amazing!
**[05:33] Chris**
Yes.
**[05:35] Auris**
This is the equation that
will lead you to victory.
**[05:37] Auris**
Everyone, have confidence
when you attempt it.
**[05:41] Auris**
Note that you're free to use the
original song lyrics written by the AI,
**[05:45] Auris**
or substitute your own.
**[05:49] Miracle**
Which would be better?
**[05:52] Auris**
You will be sent the song shortly.
**[05:54] Auris**
If you have any questions,
you're free to ask them at any time.
**[06:00] Miracle**
A song written by an AI, huh?
**[06:03] Miracle**
If the principal approved it,
it must be a great song!
**[06:08] Miracle**
Should we use the original lyrics,
or write our own?
**[06:12] Miracle**
Which will you do?
**[06:14] Chris**
I'll do whatever you do.
**[06:15] Miracle**
I'm choosing?
**[06:17] Miracle**
Huh?
**[06:19] Miracle**
Wait, how do you write lyrics?
**[06:22] Chris**
I don't know.
**[06:23] Miracle**
Of course.
**[06:24] Miracle**
Maybe I can just use the
lyrics it comes with.
**[06:27] Chris**
I'll do the same, then.
**[06:28] Miracle**
Okay, let's do this!
**[06:31] Chris**
Yay.
**[06:33] Miracle**
The principal said to have confidence
when we tried to sing it, right?
**[06:38] Chris**
Yeah.
**[06:39] Miracle**
With a great song like that, I'm thinking
the ADEN Seed will be a breeze!
**[06:44] Chris**
Let's both try to get first place!
**[06:46] Miracle**
Yeah!
**[06:47] Miracle**
It'll all come down to how well
we can sing that song, huh?
**[06:55] Miracle**
I've got no ideas!
**[06:58] Miracle**
Anybody got any ideas?
**[07:00] Miracle**
You, marumaru?
**[07:02] Miracle**
Hey! Hey!
**[07:04] Marumaru**
Are you talking to me?
**[07:07] Miracle**
Yup.
**[07:08] Marumaru**
Who's marumaru?
**[07:10] Miracle**
That's your name, marumaru.
**[07:12] Miracle**
Isn't it cute?
**[07:16] Marumaru**
Fine. Whatever.
**[07:20] Marumaru**
Why are you two here, anyway?
**[07:24] Miracle**
Why wouldn't we be?
**[07:25] Miracle**
ADEN is our home.
**[07:28] Miracle**
And when I hold you in my arms,
I feel so at peace.
**[07:34] Miracle**
You're so round!
**[07:39] Miracle**
Oh, no!
**[07:41] Miracle**
Gotta get ready for class!
**[07:44] Miracle**
Mine's canceled.
**[07:46] Miracle**
What about you?
**[07:48] Chris**
Communication class.
**[07:49] Miracle**
You sure are taking a lot of classes.
**[07:52] Miracle**
What is it?
**[07:53] Chris**
You're worried, Miracle.
**[07:56] Chris**
Should I stay with you?
**[07:57] Miracle**
It's fine, it's fine.
**[07:58] Miracle**
Go take your class.
**[08:00] Chris**
But...
**[08:01] Miracle**
I'll check out the others' channels
while I've got free time.
**[08:05] Chris**
Okay.
**[08:07] Miracle**
See you later.
**[08:11] Vanity-sensei**
and there are many cases
where better communication
**[08:16] Vanity-sensei**
between artist and viewer
can open new paths.
**[08:19] Vanity-sensei**
Think about how you can apply
this to your own channel.
**[08:22] Miracle**
What's my rank right now?
**[08:24] Sign**
Big
Announcement!!!
**[08:24] Sign**
I Did a Collab with *her*!
**[08:28] Miracle**
Of course.
**[08:33] Miracle**
It's Noelle!
**[08:34] Miracle**
Let me see her ranking...
**[08:38] Miracle**
23?!
**[08:39] Miracle**
Wow! Noelle's amazing!
**[08:43] Chris**
*I came up a good idea.*
**[08:43] Sign**
*I came up a good idea.*
**[08:44] Miracle**
What?
**[08:45] Chris**
*Communicate.*
**[08:46] Sign**
*Communicate.*
**[08:47] Miracle**
Communicate what? With who?
**[08:49] Chris**
*Vanity-sensei.*
**[08:49] Sign**
*Vanity-sensei.*
**[08:51] Miracle**
You mean ask the teacher?
**[08:54] Miracle**
Vanity-sensei!
**[08:58] Vanity-sensei**
Oh, Miracle-san.
**[09:01] Vanity-sensei**
What is it?
**[09:02] Miracle**
Tell me the secret to doing a good job
singing the song for the ADEN Seed!
**[09:05] Vanity-sensei**
I'm glad to see you're
enthusiastic about it,
**[09:08] Vanity-sensei**
but before you start looking for secrets,
have you done the basics?
**[09:13] Vanity-sensei**
You need to master the basics before
moving on to anything advanced.
**[09:19] Vanity-sensei**
There was a lot that needed improvement
in your performance the other day.
**[09:23] Vanity-sensei**
Wouldn't fixing those things
be a better use of your time?
**[09:28] Miracle**
Th-Thank you!
**[09:35] Chris**
There you are, Miracle.
**[09:37] Miracle**
Thanks for the advice! I asked Vanity-sensei.
**[09:40] Chris**
How'd it go?
**[09:41] Miracle**
He told me something really basic,
and I didn't get to ask anything.
**[09:46] Chris**
Ask again, maybe?
**[09:47] Miracle**
No...
**[09:49] Chris**
You could ask somebody else this time.
**[09:51] Miracle**
Who?
**[09:52] Chris**
The principal.
**[09:53] Miracle**
Principal...? You mean Principal Auris?
**[09:56] Miracle**
I couldn't do that.
**[09:58] Chris**
Why?
**[09:59] Miracle**
Huh? "Why"?
**[10:01] Chris**
She picked the song.
**[10:03] Miracle**
Yeah, but... she's the principal!
**[10:07] Chris**
She told us to ask if we had
questions this morning.
**[10:11] Miracle**
Yeah, she did, but...
**[10:16] Miracle**
*I really did come!*
**[10:18] Miracle**
*I'm so nervous!*
**[10:25] Miracle**
*It's Ada!*
**[10:26] Miracle**
*Ada's heading right for me!*
**[10:41] Miracle**
Um... that was Ada-san wasn't it?
**[10:46] Auris**
Yes.
**[10:47] Auris**
Pursuing one's ideals is a difficult thing.
**[10:52] Miracle**
I-I see?
**[10:54] Auris**
So, what can I do for you?
**[10:55] Auris**
Miracle-san, a student in
our virtual artist course.
**[10:59] Auris**
Miracle-san?
**[11:01] Miracle**
Oh, right?
**[11:02] Miracle**
Is there some trick to doing a good
job singing the ADEN Seed song?
**[11:06] Miracle**
I asked Vanity-sensei...
**[11:11] Auris**
And why do you want to know?
**[11:14] Miracle**
Well, um... because you
need to win the ADEN Seed
**[11:19] Miracle**
to get to the Virtual Grid Awards.
**[11:23] Auris**
And you think if you knew the trick to
singing the song, you could do that?
**[11:28] Auris**
Is that really all you need right now?
**[11:33] Miracle**
*Wait, wait.*
**[11:34] Miracle**
* You can't win the ADEN Seed*
* just by knowing the trick*
**[11:37] Miracle**
*and doing a great job singing the song?*
**[11:40] Auris**
Why do you want to be in
the Virtual Grid Awards?
**[11:44] Miracle**
Because I saw AI-chan win the
Lapin d'Or when I was young,
**[11:49] Miracle**
and she looked so amazing...
**[11:51] Miracle**
That's what made me want
to be a virtual artist.
**[11:55] Miracle**
My dream is to win the
Lapin d'Or, like AI-chan!
**[11:59] Auris**
The Lapin d'Or is the ultimate prize
that all virtual artists dream of winning.
**[12:05] Auris**
Your dream is something
that everyone else shares.
**[12:08] Auris**
They reach out for it as hard as they
possibly can, and still fail to reach it.
**[12:14] Auris**
Miracle-san, what does
your dream mean to you?
**[12:21] Miracle**
*I'd never thought about it.*
**[12:24] Chris**
Miracle.
**[12:27] Miracle**
* What did those words*
* Principal Auris said mean?*
**[12:31] Miracle**
*What does my dream mean?*
**[12:34] Miracle**
* I want to be like AI-chan. That's been*
* my dream ever since I was little.*
**[12:40] Miracle**
*AI-chan! I'm a virtual artist now!*
**[12:45] Miracle**
*I want the Lapin d'Or!*
**[12:49] Miracle**
Is that enough?
**[12:53] Miracle**
Is that your dream?
**[12:55] Miracle**
*I don't really understand yet...*
**[12:58] Miracle**
*But I love AI-chan!*
**[13:01] Miracle**
*I love virtual artists!*
**[13:04] Miracle**
*So...*
**[13:05] Miracle**
I want to share that!
**[13:07] Miracle**
I'm going to go do a stream!
***SIGN*** It's me, Miracle!
**[13:10] Miracle**
It's me, Miracle!
**[13:12] Miracle**
I started this stream because I really
want to share with you how I feel!
**[13:16] Miracle**
Did you hear the song for the ADEN Seed yet?
**[13:18] Miracle**
I was trying to come up with
a way to sing it right.
**[13:22] Miracle**
And I had a great idea: I just had
to learn the trick to singing it!
**[13:29] Miracle**
* But I couldn't figure it out,*
* so I went to see Principal Auris!*
**[13:36] Miracle**
* And she asked me if the "trick"*
* was really what I needed.*
**[13:41] Miracle**
*I couldn't answer her.*
**[13:44] Miracle**
*Oh, she was super nice!*
**[13:47] Miracle**
*I just don't really understand it.*
**[13:50] Miracle**
* But there's one thing I understand.*
* I love virtual artists!*
**[13:55] Miracle**
* And right now, something inside me is*
* telling me to share something with you all!*
**[14:01] Miracle**
*So I'm going to sing!*
**[14:05] [SONG] Song**
Wonder heart connect the rainbow

**[14:29] [SONG] Song**
The constant rain makes me want to give up
**[14:36] [SONG] Song**

'Cause if there's a rainbow in my heart
**[15:22] [SONG] Song**
I know tomorrow will have clear skies too
**[15:25] [SONG] Song**
At twilight the stars twinkle
**[15:29] [SONG] Song**
I make a vow to a morning star
**[15:31] [SONG] Song**
Waving my hand at the future
**[15:37] Miracle**
My heart's pounding *so* fast right now.
**[15:40] Miracle**
Thanks for listening!
***SIGN*** Thanks for listening
***SIGN*** Thanks for listening!!
**[15:44] Miracle**
I just ran through it the best that
I could. What do you think?
**[15:48] Miracle**
That was the best performance
I'm capable of right now.
**[15:52] Miracle**
I hope you enjoyed it!
**[15:54] Miracle**
I'm going to keep on uploading
videos from now on!

Welcome back, Miracle.
**[16:07] Chris**
You've got a lot of comments.
**[16:08] Miracle**
Really? Yay!
**[16:10] Sign**
*Nice!*
**[16:10] Sign**
*That was intense!*
**[16:10] Sign**
*You're the best!!*
**[16:12] Miracle**
It's looking pretty good, huh?
**[16:15] Chris**
Yeah, it is.
**[16:17] Chris**
You got a message.
**[16:18] Miracle**
An invitation message?
**[16:20] Miracle**
From Noelle?
**[16:27] Miracle**
What's going on?
**[16:32] Miracle**
Noelle?
**[16:34] Miracle**
*The* Noelle, who's always
at the top of the rankings,
**[16:37] Miracle**
and is super cute and super
popular and super talented?
**[16:40] Miracle**
No way!
**[16:42] Miracle**
I saw your channel! 23rd place!
That's incredible!
**[16:46] Noelle**
I can't believe you.
**[16:48] Noelle**
You call yourself an artist?
**[16:52] Noelle**
An artist's job is to come up with
your own ideas and express them.
**[16:56] Noelle**
And you went to ask
Principal Auris for help?
**[17:00] Miracle**
She said to ask if we had questions!
**[17:03] Noelle**
I've never heard of anybody
actually going, though!
**[17:06] Miracle**
*She's scary!*
**[17:07] Noelle**
And I can't believe the way you said you
"Just ran through it" on your stream,
**[17:12] Noelle**
like you're making excuses!
**[17:15] Noelle**
Seeing lazy girls like you
really annoys me.
**[17:22] Noelle**
You need to cut it out.
**[17:25] Noelle**
You're the one who'll have to
live with the embarrassment.
**[17:33] Chris**
Miracle...
**[17:35] Miracle**
What was that?
**[17:36] Miracle**
Why did she have to get angry at me?
**[17:38] Miracle**
I did my best!
**[17:40] Chris**
Yeah.
**[17:42] Miracle**
I put a lot of thought into
my dream and the song...
**[17:47] Miracle**
I thought I did.
**[17:50] Miracle**
I mean, I've got a long way to go.
I can't do it like Noelle can.
**[17:55] Miracle**
But what gives Noelle the right to say
that stuff? She doesn't know anything.
**[18:02] Miracle**
It's *so* frustrating!
**[18:04] Miracle**
But marumaru makes me feel so much better!
**[18:09] Miracle**
But I do understand what
she's saying... a little.
**[18:15] Chris**
Yeah.
**[18:17] Miracle**
Chris, all you say is "Yeah."
**[18:20] Chris**
I understand that you're worrying
a lot and thinking a lot.
**[18:25] Chris**
I saw it.
**[18:26] Miracle**
Chris...
**[18:27] Chris**
What's bothering you right now?
**[18:29] Miracle**
Nothing's bothering me...
**[18:32] Miracle**
I'm just thinking that Noelle was right.
**[18:36] Miracle**
I need to shape up, don't I?
**[18:45] Noelle**
It's not good enough...
**[18:51] Vanity**
Noelle, you need to get some
sleep to be ready for tomorrow.
**[18:56] Noelle**
Just a little more.
**[18:58] Vanity**
Don't stay up too late.
**[19:01] Noelle**
Thanks.
**[19:13] Noelle**
* This is my chance...*
* and I'm going to take it!*
**[19:35] [SONG] Song**
I became aware of my love
**[19:46] [SONG] Song**
Hey, I want you to tell me how you feel
**[19:51] [SONG] Song**
So I pull in the rope of truth
**[19:56] [SONG] Song**
The neon of the electronic world where
we intersect is burned into my brain
**[20:01] [SONG] Song**
Flashing by in the gaps between
boring days, a wisp of wind
**[20:07] [SONG] Song**
Caresses my cheek, and I pray that
**[20:12] [SONG] Song**
The unexpected arrow of my admiration
**[20:17] [SONG] Song**
Will reach you, hey, right now
**[20:22] [SONG] Song**
I want to see you so
much, I can't stop crying
**[20:25] [SONG] Song**
Baby baby, even though we're tiny
**[20:30] [SONG] Song**
I breathe so I can feel your voice, your form
**[20:36] [SONG] Song**
Maybe maybe, in just a
little corner of the world
**[20:40] [SONG] Song**
If we can overcome thousands of
nights and connect with each other
**[20:46] [SONG] Song**
I am waiting for... forever

**[21:36] Sign**

you can win at the VGAs.
***SIGN*** What animal is it based off of?
**[21:42] Vanity**
What animal is it based off of?
**[21:46] Miracle**
I know!
***SIGN*** A rabbit
**[21:47] Miracle**
A rabbit!
**[21:48] Miracle**
Yay!
**[21:49] Sign**
Question 2
**[21:50] Vanity**
Okay, question 2.
**[21:51] Sign**
The Lapin d'Or is famous for its reputation as an NFT.
**[21:52] Vanity**
The Lapin d'Or is famous for
its reputation as an NFT.
***SIGN*** What is an NFT?
**[21:57] Vanity**
What is an NFT?
**[22:00] Miracle**
NFT...?
**[22:04] Vanity**
Out of time.
**[22:04] Sign**
Question 2
***SIGN*** What is an NFT?
**[22:06] Miracle**
Oh, no! I thought too much
and my head froze up!
**[22:10] Miracle**
So uh, what's an NFT?
**[22:12] Vanity**
Non-Fungible Token.
**[22:14] Vanity**
...is what it's short for.
**[22:16] Miracle**
"Non-Fungible Token"?
**[22:18] Vanity**
You don't understand, do you?
**[22:20] Miracle**
Tell me, Vanity!
**[22:22] Vanity**
Do you want a detailed explanation?
Or a quick rundown...
**[22:25] Miracle**
A quick rundown!
***SIGN*** A quick rundown!
**[22:27] Vanity**
"Non-Fungible Token"
**[22:29] Vanity**
refers to tokens
that are not fungible.
**[22:29] Sign**
refers to tokens that are not fungible
**[22:33] Miracle**
That was too quick!
**[22:34] Miracle**
Not fungible? What's a token?
**[22:37] Vanity**
Miracle, do you understand
what fungible means?
**[22:41] Miracle**
Um... does it have something
to do with replacement?
**[22:44] Vanity**
Yes. "Fungible" means it can be replaced
with something that's identical to it.
**[22:48] Vanity**
Thus, a token is non-fungible if there is
no equivalent that it can replaced with.
**[22:54] Miracle**
So there's only one of it, right?
**[22:56] Vanity**
"Token" is a general term for a cryptographic
asset issued via blockchain technology!
**[22:58] Sign**
"Token" is a general term for a cryptographic assets issued via blockchain technology
**[23:03] Miracle**
So non-fungible tokens are cryptographic
assets that are one-of-a-kind?
**[23:06] Sign**
Non-fungible tokens are cryptographic assets that are one-of-a-kind
**[23:09] Vanity**
That's right.
**[23:11] Vanity**
The inability to make a copy of
them means you can't make fakes.
***SIGN*** Since they can't be faked, they're really secure. They're used for appraisals for digital art, too!
**[23:15] Miracle**
So they're really secure!
**[23:17] Vanity**
They're also excellent for appraisals and
proofs of authenticity for digital art!
**[23:23] Vanity**
That's what NFTs are!
**[23:25] Miracle**
So that's an NFT...
**[23:28] Vanity**
Now on to our next problem...
**[23:31] Miracle**
I need to get some sugar in my bloodstream
or my head won't work right!
**[23:34] Miracle**
So that's all for this week!
