An NHK broadcast logo flickers onto a television unit as a family seats themselves in front of a kotatsu. A cheerful young announcer on screen expresses, "Good morning everyone! Thank you for tuning in to the Sunshine Show, your premiere breakfast show starring your very own favourite idol..."
Let's Go!!
Hey, hey, hey! Ready - Steady - Go!
A happy earworm jingle accompanies a camera pan down to a comfortable western-style breakfast table around which the hosts are seated around a chaise lounge.
A woman that definitely looks like Shigure, dressed in a warm and shimmering yellow dress makes a pose for the camera to express: "Shigurin~!"
The young announcer turns to her to express, "Thank you for coming onboard our show with us, Shigurin! We know you're very busy, so your time is greatly appreciated!"
Shigurin expresses, "It's not a problem at all, Suika-san. When you told me that you'd be running a section on confidence for young girls, I knew I had to relay my support to both the fans and the young women trying to make a difference today..."

The scramble crossing in Shibuya is always excessively crowded, especially as the lunchtime crowd start to scramble out of their skyscrapers and other office buildings. But as the blinking lights that read 'WALK' beep, everyone pauses to look up at the main screen at the 108:
Even newborn birds
will someday flutter to the skies
carried upon large, strong wings!
Today, change!
Ready to change to what we hope for!
Steady your charge into that light, now...
GO!
Everyone cheers as they pump their arms up to the skies, some of them holding impromptu glow-sticks. "Shigurin, Shigurin!"
01:37:25 pm
"Whoa, you're a tech expert too, Shigurin?!"
The television screen flickers again as young man in a suit looks astounded, his mic held up as Shigurin pulls the newest model of a slim smartphone from her pocket.
"Hehe, I tinker with it just a little. It's very convenient to have a smartphone nowadays, isn't it? Look at all the friends I have in its 32 gigabyte onboard hard drive-- oh, I just got a new message! Good thing I have all this space for all the cheers from my fans!"
That person, closed up in her sadness...
Always crying... that person is boring...
Shigurin holds the phone in close-up, where her subscribers and likes are rapidly increasing by the second.
Reach deep, and bravely discard her!
Always crying -- that person isn't you!
"Even Shigurin is racing to buy the new Xp***a, order yours today!"
03:13:11 pm
"... and I'll crack this egg -- but careful to not get any eggshell shards in it!" Shigurin explains with a wink. "Then we'll pour full cream milk in and whisk!"
The bun-wearing lady looks impressed as she expresses, "Ah, Shigurin, are you making fresh custard?"
Don't give up, that day'll come for us!
You can feel it too
The sound of a new beginning
Fervently beating within my chest!
"That's right, Yuki-obasan, we'll whip this together as the temperature comes up and fill it into our eclair shells, which will be glazed with our milk chocolate ganache from earlier!"
"Ah, it's such a perfect mix of dairy and gluten...!" Yuki's eyes sparkle for effect.
"Of course! I can't wait to dig into it!" Shigurin looks incredibly proud.
07:53:18 pm
The streets of Harajuku are completely booked out at present, crowds upon crowds of excited youthful teens all piling in to see their idol as she shakes hands and signs autographs.
"Aah, to shake hands with Shigurin...!"
Shigurin lets out a bright smile once more, expressing, "Thank you for your support, let's work hard together."
"Shigurin, Shigurin, give us a song!"
A pause, as she blinks and smiles brighter, shaking her head. "Aah, it can't be helped, can it? Let's go, everyone!"
She grabs hold of her puffer jacket corner and tosses it aside to the camera, where she's suddenly draped in resplendent costume. Her signing booth unfolds into a giant stand that floats up into the air, mysteriously shaped like the Claiomh Solais.
"Let's go everyone! The new song you've all been waiting for...!"
Grasp that happiness and move forward!
When you and I are connected...
Of course we found our way back, after being lost.
This is the distant place of our dreams...
The eight bells have yet to ring...
