Hehe, do you think? I hope so! I like to help people, and seeing people's smiles is the best.

It's one of the best parts of performing too, don't you think? Being able to bring joy to a lot of people at once... sometimes I think of it like that.

[in_a_bottle]

Yeah. I think most people at least start out thinking that way. Seeing people's smiles, how you influenced them to do better... I like it. It's like we sell dreams more than music.

[usogi]

More dreams than music... that's a really good way of saying it, Aimi. I like it a lot.

[he tilts his head]

Did you always want to be an idol....?

[in_a_bottle]

My entire life. And I knew I couldn't give up, even when things got rough. And now, if I have a good opportunity, I need to take it.

What about you and the stage?

[usogi]

Mm, me too. I always thought about the stories that I saw unfold in front of me - and then I wanted to learn to do that. I wanted to be able to give people happy fantasies and times they could take with them.

[he tilts his head and offers a smile]

Can I guess that Aimi's wish has to do with being an idol then? Ah - you don't have to tell me if you don't wanna though.

[in_a_bottle]

Something similar. Doesn't everybody want to succeed and live happily? You've got dreams yourself.

[usogi]

I do! And I love performing - but I don't know if I'd compete in this big competition for it. I think to put your everything on the line for your passion is really amazing.

[in_a_bottle]

It's my life.

[She gives a tiny sigh.]

You're a kind person, you know that?

[usogi]

[senri laughs a bit at that]

Do you think? Then I'm really flattered, Aimi.

I try my best, for sure!

[in_a_bottle]

I'm starting to think someone in here needs to.
