Kanae: Is it like this?

Non-non: Erm, if you’d like to join lessons-

Kanae: Ah! Like this? Wink… Twinkle5! Hey hey, do you love to dance? It’s fun, isn’t it?

Non-non: Yeah.

Kanae: I am Kanae. I’ve always been watching Non-non. Everyone’s cute little sister, Non-non. Just call my name, Non-non. Once I start dancing, I can’t stop, non-stop Non-non. Twinklekleklekleklekle 5! Ah?!

Non-non: Ah…! Hey, are you ok?

Kanae: I’m ok. I just got dizzy. That was fun! Well, goodbye, Non-non.

Takemitsu: Oh~ Is that Mina? You’re back in town?

Miinya: Hello.

Naonori: Welcome home.

Miinya: Yeah.

Takemitsu: I haven’t seen you for a while and you’ve grown even prettier. When will you appear on TV again? Your dad just won’t tell me. Eh?

Naonori: What about dinner?

Takemitsu: How long will she stay in town?

Naonori: Who knows…

Takemitsu: What do you mean “who knows”?

Naonori: It’s done.

Takemitsu: Alright. How much will that be?

Kanae: Here, Miinya. You are Twinkle5’s Miinya, right? One, don’t leave me all alone. Two, just the two of us makes me shy.

Miinya: Stop it.

Activity description – Recreation. Group A Performance “Dream Angel”

Rikopii: Ah! Not angels again… From Mina?

Message: You’ve got mail from Mina-san

Message: Everyone, long time no see! How have you been? Actually, I met this mysterious girl named “Kanae” while I was working today. Does anyone know who she is? (>_<) I'm thinking she may be one of Twinkle5's fans, but she's so weird that I'm interested to find out more. Shall we all meet up somewhere nearby to share information?…

Rikopii: Kanae?

Kanae: I think… You’re just working hard to escape something.

Iwagaki Ryuuta: You’re still here?

Dokkii: Boss.

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Thanks for today. This is great. It’s for Christmas, right? How fitting. Hmm, but it’s unfortunate that we don’t have the budget for it.

Dokkii: I can make it.

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Is that alright?

Dokkii: I like making things.

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Now that’s love!

Dokkii: Does that mean I can wear it?

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Of course! The angel wings are nice. That’s Christmas love.

Dokkii: Yes!

Iwagaki Ryuuta: You’re really working hard. Alright, I’ll do it too.

Dokkii: Yes! You’ll be the reindeer.

Fans: Dokkii!

Dokkii: Kanae…

Message: Long time no see! Yes, I know Kanae! We talked a little in school just a few days ago. I wonder if it’s the same person Mina met? Anyway, I’m all for a meet-up! I’d love to hear how everyone is doing…

Kanae: Assemble…

Kanae: Hey hey, what does Assemble mean?

Kanae: Assemble, Assemble. Pas de chat. Padobure. Assemble, Assemble. Pas de chat. Padobure.

Rikopii: Hey hey, so nobody knows who Kanae is?

Non-non: Hmm~… Maybe she’s a fan?

Miinya: It can’t be. If she’d come for any lives, I’d surely remember her.

Dokkii: Because of the pumpkin, right?

Miinya: Pumpkin?

Dokkii: Wasn’t she wearing it?

Miinya: No no, of course not.

Rikopii: She was dressed in my school’s uniform… But who is this Kanae exactly?

Miinya: Like an idol?

Non-non: Like a kid?

Dokkii: Hmm~, I have no impression except for the pumpkin.

Miinya: She said her name was Kanae, right?

Dokkii: What else did she say?

Non-non: Hmm, but…

All: I feel like I’ve met her before…

Non-non: Right?

Non-non: Long time no see! But, no matter who she is, Kanae has at least helped us to get back together like this.

Rikopii: Yeah. Hey, how has everyone been doing?

Dokkii: I’m back at my job. Hey hey, look at this. I’ll be selling chicken in this costume this year.

Non-non: Well… Doesn’t it resemble the Christmas Live costume we had last year?

Rikopii: Wait, is that… Yuzurin’s costume?

Non-non: That’s right!

Dokkii: Really?

Non-non: It’s exactly the same.

Rikopii: Ah. By the way, has anyone contacted Yuzurin?

Miinya: She’s changed her number.

Non-non: How about Eriko? Have you gone on your fieldtrip?

Rikopii: Soon. I’ve been put in charge of planning the itinerary, so I’m compiling a schedule now.

Non-non: Schedule…? That’s a word I’ve not heard in a while.

Miinya: We were so busy then. We’ll grow fat if we remain so free now.

Rikopii: No!

Dokkii: Mina always gets a stomachache when you eat too much.

Non-non: I remember that. You ate too much rice before a Live, and kept saying “my tummy hurts, my tummy hurts”…

Rikopii: Yes, yes!

Miinya: When was that?

Non-non: Erm… Ah! It was during last year’s Christmas Live, right?

Rikopii: No, it was before that.

Miinya: When was it…?

Dokkii: 2nd Anniversary!

Non-non: That’s it! The 2nd Anniversary.

Rikopii: Wait a minute…

Non-non: Yes, yes. It’s probably the 2nd Anniversary. Don’t you remember? You caused so much trouble then.

Miinya: I don’t recall it at all.

Non-non: It can’t be. It did happen, right?

Dokkii: It did happen a year ago.

Non-non: Oh well. Found it? What’s wrong?

Rikopii: There’s not much time till Christmas… Now’s not the time to go on a fieldtrip!

Message: Twinkle5 Christmas Live Definite Success!

Rikopii: On 24th December this year, Twinkle5’s Christmas Live is supposed to be a success!

Miinya: Then why didn’t we say it then? That the four of us would do it?

Non-non: Because we wouldn’t have met Kanae?

Rikopii: Eh?

Non-non: Even though we don’t know who Kanae is… But she’s made us remember who we are. That we’d been keeping our fighting spirits under wraps.

Dokkii: Yes, I’d rather wear purple than red during Christmas.

Non-non: Hey… Shall we do it one more time? Just the four of us.

Rikopii: Ah! Then, how about this? The Christmas Live’s on 24 December, so we’ll meet up one month before the Live, on 24 November.

Miinya: Alright. 24 November.

All: OK.

Non-non: Twinkle5’s debut day?

Message: Twinkle5 3rd Anniversary. Redebut!

Rikopii: Everyone, put that in your schedules too.

Miinya: Ah! Our debut day…

All: Yes.

Rikopii: It’ll come true as long as I write it down.

Iwagaki Ryuuta: That’s great. But you can’t wear it, even though you made it. How unfortunate.

Dokkii: Boss… Why?

Iwagaki Ryuuta: I can tell. Your love for chicken is still lacking.

Dokkii: Love for chicken?

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Don’t worry! I’ll sell the Christmas chicken, you progress down the path you believe in.

Dokkii: Yes!

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Whenever you feel lost, just keep moving, just keep eating. Just remember chicken; low-fat, high-protein chicken!

Dokkii: Yes!

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Chicken!

Dokkii: Chicken!

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Chicken?

Dokkii: Chicken!

Iwagaki Ryuuta: Alright!

Dokkii: Yes!

Non-non: Erm… May I?

Nogami Yukiko: Yes.

Non-non: Please let me take a break after the presentation ceremony.

Nogami Yukiko: When will you be back?

Non-non: I won’t know until I’ve gone…

Nogami Yukiko: How can you jump when you’re still pivoting on the spot?

Non-non: Huh?

Nogami Yukiko: Don’t take a break. Quit. You won’t be able to put your heart in it otherwise, right?

Non-non: Miss Yukiko.

Matsushita Sayuri: Eriko! Thanks for this.

Rikopii: It’s done…

Matsushita Sayuri: Yes. The bus seating plan, the rooming arrangements, it’s all perfect. But you’ve missed out an important thing. You’ve forgotten to add yourself in, as usual.

Rikopii: There’s no mistake.

Matsushita Sayuri: Eh?

Naonori: How do you want it?

Miinya: I’ll leave it to you.

Rikopii: Hey, where’s Mina?

Dokkii: Hmm, she should be here… Uwah?!

Non-non: Mina!

Rikopii: That’s really drastic!

Miinya: Eh? Eriko, where are your glasses?

Dokkii: They’re gone.

Rikopii: School too.

Miinya: Everyone’s really here.

Rikopii: I told you. It’ll come true once I write it down.

Suzuki Wako: Ah~ Welcome.

Non-non: Ah! Mrs Landlady!

Suzuki Wako: What’s with those big bags? Have you all moved out of home?

Rikopii: Eh…? Haven’t we discussed this over the phone? That the four of us will be back on 24 November to stay at your place?

Suzuki Wako: Eh?! You mean you’re planning to stay here?

Rikopii: That’s right!

Suzuki Wako: Oh dear…

Dokkii: We’ll pay the rent, of course.

Suzuki Wako: But this is too sudden…

Miinya: Eriko, didn’t you write that we’re gonna stay here?

Rikopii: Isn’t there any space at all?

Non-non: Erm, we’ll make do with anywhere. A corridor. The entrance.

Suzuki Wako: Anywhere… Anywhere? Ah!

Non-non: Hoshi no yu?
(Note: Star bath)

Suzuki Wako: You can stay here for free if you like, but you’ll need to clean it up first.

All: We’ll do it!

Suzuki Wako: Ah… You should take a look inside before deciding. Here’s the key.

Dokkii: Thank you.

Suzuki Wako: Erm… If you don’t like it, you can always say no. Please don’t force yourselves.

All: We’ll be fine.

Sign: Hoshi no yu

Non-non: A bathhouse?

Rikopii: I guess.

Kanae: You’re here!

Miinya: Ah!

Kanae: You’re finally here. Isn’t the name great? Hoshi no yu, perfect for angels.

All: Kanae!

All: Wow~! Let’s do it~!

Caption: One year later

Kanae: But, it happened one day, as their 3rd Christmas Live was approaching…

Manager Yamaguchi: The tickets are not selling at all. We’ll make a loss at this rate. I mean, it’s Christmas, but I don’t want to see red with these numbers. What should we do? Leader.

Yuzurin: Umm~… We should have stopped with last year’s Christmas Live.

Manager Yamaguchi: The director said that too.

Yuzurin: Thanks for everything.

Manager Yamaguchi: We’re not finished here. Hey, where are you going?

Yuzurin: I’m moving on to a bigger world. Goodbye.

Manager Yamaguchi: She won’t come back even if you try to stop her. So? Will the four of you continue on?

Kanae: Without the red angel, Yuzurin, Twinkle5 quickly disbanded.

Non-non: Yuzurin’s really gone, huh?

Dokkii: She’s flown away.

Non-non: To a bigger world…

Rikopii: She’s always said that she wants to pursue her studies overseas.

Miinya: And that we can contact her if we ever visit London.

Non-non: Shall we take a photo? OK, smile! Twinkle…

All: 5!

Rikopii: Mrs Landlady?

Suzuki Wako: Autograph, please.

Rikopii: But, we’re…

Suzuki Wako: But this is the first time idols have stayed at my place.

Rikopii: Alright…

Suzuki Wako: Thank you. Hmm, why did everyone sign at the sides? Now the middle is left empty… I’ll frame it up for display.

Kanae: Having lost their song and dance, the angels scattered to various places. Hey… Is this really OK?

Matsushita Sayuri: Hey, why? Let’s do it. We’ve been practising with the video we found online.

Matsushita Sayuri: We are angels descended from heaven to deliver song and dance! We are…

All: Twinkle5!

Matsushita Sayuri: But we can’t be 5 when there are only four of us…

Rikopii: Sorry.

Girl: Hey, it’s alright.

Matsushita Sayuri: Well, you don’t need to perform then, but you’re in charge of the planning.

Rikopii: Yeah.

Kanae: They weren’t like you guys at all.

Rikopii: Huh?

Kanae: We are angels descended from heaven to deliver song and dance! We are Twinkle5!

Rikopii: Enough of that. And it’s dangerous up there.

Kanae: You’ve really lost it, huh? Being an angel…

Rikopii: I said that’s enough.

Kanae: “Lycopene’s found in tomatoes. I’m energetic and small. No mistake, I’m Rikopii! From the top, it’s Rikopii. From the bottom, it’s… Pikori!
(Note: Lycopene is written as “rikopin” in Japanese)

Rikopii: Stop it with the introduction. That’s all in the past… It’s all over.

Kanae: Is it really over?

Kanae: I am Kanae. I’ve always been watching over Rikopii.

Rikopii: That girl said it too. We can’t be Twinkle5 when there are only four of us…

Kanae: 24th December. Twinkle5 Christmas Live. Definite success!

Rikopii: Eh? How would you know that?

Kanae: I told you. I’ve always been watching. You said this during last year’s Christmas Live. That being an idol is your dream, that being on stage like that was just like a dream… Are you letting go of that dream? Even though making dreams come true is an angel’s job?

Rikopii: I told you, I’m not an angel anymore…

Kanae: Even without wings, an angel is still an angel.

Rikopii: Angels, angels… It’s so frustrating!

Dokkii: Thank you!

Dokkii: Would you like some Halloween-limited chicken? Would you like some Halloween chicken? Full of the garlic that Dracula hates…

Kanae: Would you like some pumpkin pie?

Dokkii: It’s total goodness that’s only available now.

Kanae: Would you like some pumpkin pie?

Dokkii: Would you like some Halloween chicken? Would you like some freshly grilled Halloween chicken?

Kanae: Such a waste.

Kanae: You!

Dokkii: Eh… Me?

Kanae: Is this alright for you?

Dokkii: What?

Kanae: You are Twinkle5’s Dokkii, right? When you talk about earthenware, think of Yayoi. Boundless prosperity, Dokkii was born in Yayoi. Heartthrobbing Dokki-doki’s Dokki, check it out!
(Note: “Yayoi” is the name of the ancient Japanese civilization known for its pottery, as well as the third month of the lunar calendar.)

Dokkii: Sorry, I’m busy…

Kanae: I am Kanae.

Dokkii: Kanae?

Kanae: Hey, is Twinkle5 really over?

Dokkii: This is good enough for me. Would you like some Halloween-

Kanae: Is it really?

Dokkii: Would you like some Halloween chicken? Its goodness that’s only available now.

Kanae: I think… You’re just working hard to escape something

Dokkii: It’s Halloween-limited chicken.

Kanae: Hey, but Christmas is coming soon. It’ll just make you think about it more.

Dokkii: Christmas chi-… Now you’ve made me confused… Would you like some Halloween chicken? It’s limited chicken.

Kanae: Aren’t you guys doing that Christmas Live? Really… Christmas won’t arrive without angels!

Dokkii: Would you like some Halloween chicken? It’s limited chicken.

Kanae: You can do anything with that power to sell chicken. Dokkii can do anything.

Dokkii: Says the pumpkin…

Kanae: Ah~ That’s right… A pumpkin won’t do, huh? I’ve failed.
