Ashino: You have no need to doubt your intentions: the classes and the past months you lived together are all embedded in the message you wanted to convey. We’re certain of it.
Tadokoro: You’ve got it from here on out. We trust you kiddos—so go ahead, believe in yer song, an’ have it your way tomorrow!

***

Sora: So? How are you feeling?
Arashi: …I wanna be on stage. I’m dyin’ to sing.
Sora: Ehe, that’s what I like to hear: a confident go-getter.
Arashi: What ‘boutcha?
Sora: I can’t stay in place, I wish the audience could listen to our song already.
Arashi: Heh, we’re like two peas in a pod.
Sora: Of course! We’re buddies after all.

***

Iori: How odd. It’s not like you to rehearse before the big day.
Haruhi: Yeah, I know, but I can’t bring myself to make light of it. Everything is too important this time around.
Iori: …
Haruhi: This will be my final participation in the Color Sonic, so I will go all out to leave without regrets.
Iori: …I understand.

***

Mirai: I, uh, I wanted to talk ‘bout whatcha said in front of the others earlier…
Towa: Mhm?
Mirai: Ya stunned me. I didn’t expect that… I didn’t expect you to talk ‘bout it.
Towa: Oh… Hehe, I guess… No really one did.

***

Kagura: We never eat together. What has gotten into you?
Kairi: …Mh, nothing really. Just thought I’d be nice to… Share these kinda moments while we can.
Kagura: Pardon?
Kairi: Well, once the Color Sonic ‘s done an’ our graduation ‘s over, we won’t be seeing each other all that much, y’see?
Kagura: That… is indeed a possibility.

***

Oshiro: First of all, we would like to formally thank you for sparing your precious time to witness our first steps on this stage…
Tomoe: Care to tell what you’re brewing this time?
Oshiro: I’m practisin’ my speech fer tomorrow, what else?
Tomoe: Huh? ...What do we have here—seriously!? Eurgh, nope, drop the idea! (Tomoe rips the paper.)

***
[NARRATION]

Arashi: The “Tokyo Color Sonic,” this music festival held once every year…
Sora: A festival where students pour their souls into their work to be crowned KING.
Arashi: Tomorrow, at long last, the curtain will lift on the final stage.

"You three still have one task: you will compose a song for your graduation ceremony that you will perform next month."

Haruhi: We may look far and wide, no word would be enough to describe what we lived, learnt and felt since enrolling in Ironoha.
Kairi: But these experiences, these feelings, they won’t vanish the moment we step out, no—they will live with us for eternity.
Kagura: Such is the future waiting for us—our future.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Classroom]

Tadokoro: You three will produce a song that your class will perform at your graduation ceremony next month.
Haruhi: Come again?
Kairi: Wuh? For our graduation?
Ashino: The Headquarters placed a formal request for you three to collaborate with your classmates on this last assignment. Take it as a graduation project of sorts.
Kagura: I, I don’t know what to say… An honour—yes, it’s a great honour to take on that task.
Kairi: Kairi-kyun ‘s down for it! No classes, no plans ahead, he’s free as a li’l birdie~!
Haruhi: …Speaking technicalities, do we have a guideline to follow or motif we should aim for?
Tadokoro: There is no theme, no guideline nor rules to stop you. You’re free to do as you please.
Haruhi: So you’re basically leaving all the heavy lifting to us…
Ashino: Hahah, that’s one way to see it. Let’s say us professors have blindly delegated every decision to our brilliant students’ wise judgement.
Kairi: No way, their shenanigans got you too Ashinocchi…
Tadokoro: Your fellow composers will help with the production. In the meantime, the vocalists will rehearse during the month for the ceremony’s performance.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Studio]

Kagura: What about this hook then? Opinions?
Kairi: Kairi-kyun doesn’t mind either, he can do both.
Haruhi: Mh, I don’t know… If we wanna give it this… Grandiose and lasting impression, we should lay it thick on the hook…
Kairi: See? We’ve figured out a solution!
Kagura: Have you even given our suggestions proper thought…?
Kairi: Yeah! The moment the cogs are set in motion, you two gonna deliver somethin’ that’ll knock our socks off, no doubts about it.
Haruhi: Huh? What was that, your attempt at praising us?
Kairi: All I’m sayin’ is that I trust you. I know you’re gonna have a streak of genius for the melody; it’s basically beggin’ to happen.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Classroom]

Towa: We made so many good memories with them, it almost hurts a little to think back on…
Mirai: Ehe, an’ their personality, man: can’t turn a blind eye on these guys wherever they went.
Sora: They had similar intensity towards life itself, but very different approaches to it!
Towa: It’s going to be so quiet around here without Kurahashi-kun and Takatsuki-kun fighting…
Mirai: Dun’ forget Kaji’s scythin’ passive-aggressiveness!
Sora: Totally!
Towa: I don’t exactly know how to explain this feeling, it’s, um… I feel like it takes us more courage to stay behind and see them off at their graduation than the contrary.
Mirai: …I getcha: at the end of the day, we’re left with nothin’ but sadness an’ the memories, huh…

[Ironoha Music Academy, Studio]

Kagura: I intend to share a few parting words and my sentiments during our introduction speech, albeit I won’t be rehearsing for it. As for Kurahashi, he will get to convey his feelings plenty during the performance.
You, on the other hand… You did not have that opportunity offered to you, as far as I’m aware.
Haruhi: Yeaaah… I generally leave that voice and space to someone else.
Kagura: In that case, why not write the lyrics? You could use such an important task as an outlet, in my humble opinion…
Haruhi: Huh, I didn’t think of it that way.
Kagura: …So, what do you say? You’re free to decline, of course, and I would unders–
Haruhi: I’ll do it.
Kagura: …I see. I’m glad to hear it.
Haruhi: This is our last time doing this together, after all. You’re right, I could use a liiittle introspection. I have a few things I need to tell everyone before we leave, and… I want to show them what the future holds for us.
Kagura: Truth be told, I had hoped you would say yes. I sincerely want to see your words come to life, your lyrics weaved into the melody.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Meeting Room]

Kairi: Listen, time is too short to spend your days worryin’ and leave with regrets.
Tomoe: Regrets, huh…
Kairi: If you’ve got somethin’ you wanna do, somethin’ you wanna say to the world—good or bad, who cares—dun’ wait for it to happen. Just go for it. Worst thin’ you could do to yourself is lettin’ that motivation rot inside.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Meeting Room, once everyone left]

Tomoe: Why do you think I snapped back at you, hm?
Arashi: I’m sorry?
Tomoe: You know, I was there when you dumped an’ abandoned Gorilla that day. I saw everything.
Arashi: I… I didn’t dump him…

[Ironoha Music Academy, Hallways]

Iori: I suppose I’m a little out of the loop with everything that has been happening. I just… I won’t ever be the same without the three of them around.
Oshiro: …
Iori: …There, I have everything. Shall we go?
Oshiro: Wait, Takarada-san…
Iori: Mhm?
Oshiro: I know I’m still immature an’ didn’t live the same stuff as ya, so it’s not like my words would change anythin’, an’ um… What I’m tryna say is… You’ll get through that. Yer gonna be alright.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Stage]

Kagura: I stand before you all, on this stage, as a student of Ironoha… For the very last time.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Green Room]

Mirai: Everybody here ‘s a sensational artist—but that’s jus’ the way the ball bounces, an’ we can’t stop you three from here on out.
No matter what happens, you are—and always will be—our precious friends.
So, one last time… Thanks for sharin’ these years with us!
Oshiro, Tomoe, Towa, Mirai, Arashi, Sora & Iori: Thank you…!

[Ironoha Music Academy, Entrance]

Kairi: Haaa~? Kairi-kyun ‘s not gonna back down either! Hmph!
Haruhi: Hahah, anyway, sounds like we’ve got veeery different paths ahead of us.
Kagura: And yet, we still share a purpose.
Kairi: Yep! Come what may, we still deeply love the music this country brought to us!
Haruhi: Exactly.

[Ironoha Music Academy, Staff Hallways]

Tadokoro: Kaji Haruhi, Kurahashi Kairi, Takatsuki Kagura… These three did a lot for Ironoha as an academy, but also left an indelible mark on COLORATION.
They are… Irreplaceable.

Iori: I’m Takarada Iori, from the Saitama’s branch, currently in my third year in the Vocal Department.
AI: Takarada-san, what inspired you to start music?
Iori: How did it all start, hm… I think I found myself absorbed in singing long before I even realised I liked it.
***

Haruhi: Kaji Haruhi here, from the Chiba branch and in my senior year in the Songwriting Department.
AI: Kaji-san, what was your motivation to become a composer?
Haruhi: Iori’s voice. I still remember how his singing left me speechless as a kid.
***

Iori: It’s, you know… I don’t exactly want my fans to know that I’m, um, not the sharpest
AI: They already know.
Iori: Wha–HOW!?
***

Haruhi: Are all high-end models like you programmed to refute everything humans say?
AI: Correction: this was not a refutation, but an affirmation strictly based on facts.
Haruhi: And can’t you detect when your “factual affirmations” are getting a liiittle too nosey?
***

Iori: Haruhi, you know… He easily gets lonely. That’s mainly why he dotes on me, and why we spend so much time together; I think…
***

Haruhi: He’s a nice person, too nice for his own sake even. He could get dragged into something dangerous, so I just make sure that nothing bad happens to him, you see?
***

Iori: That’s… That’s the rabbit plushie Haruhi gave me for my birthday…
AI: This stuffed animal is wiretapped and stuffed with a clandestine camera.
***

Haruhi: I think living would be a lot easier if we were all emotionless machines, never to know what pain or discomfort is, but well… Humans are creatures of emotion.
***

AI: Many people have expressed a strong inclination to experience the food you cook.
Iori: Oh, sure, that sounds like fun! I don’t mind making extras, as long as they like what I cook!
***

Haruhi: Ugh… Never in the history of forever will I spend a day with a machine like that again…
***

Iori: Wait, before you go… I’d like to talk to you about something…

Mini-drama Track「Angels & Demons」👼👿
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxaEYLWXvP4

Preview
Iori: This is the Empyrean Domain.
Tomoe: A world far removed from the realm of mortals.
Arashi: For aeons, angels and demons, two opposed species, have coexisted in these lands.
Haruhi: Once of age and capable to handle the duties incumbent upon them—
Oshiro: Angels an’ demons are to form pairs and become “buddies.”
Sora: Together, they descend to the realm of mortals—
Towa: To stay by the side of the human they were bestowed, one whom they refer to as their “Liege…”
Kairi: Their joint responsibility is to keep watch over their human.
Kagura: Angels are meant to guide humans on a path of light and virtue.
Mirai: Whilst demons lead ‘em towards darkness and inertia.

[Side: Iori & Haruhi]

Iori: You’re undeniably one-of-a-kind, Haruhi. I can’t believe you managed to get your licence three months early.
Haruhi: What can I do, I’m the jewel in the crown of angels.
Iori: It doesn’t make your accomplishment any less incredible. I’m sure you’re aware, but every single demon wants to partner up with you!
Haruhi: Really? I have been waiting to join forces with someone rightfully because you’re the only one I ever wanted, Iori.

[Side: Tomoe & Oshiro]

Tomoe: Tch… God damn it, that’s why I don’t do well with angels…
Oshiro: …? Hang on, are you…
Tomoe: Hm?
Oshiro: Yeah, yo’ face looks familiar!
Tomoe: Hah?
Oshiro: No doubts ‘bout it! Yer ma buddy-guy!

[Side: Kairi & Kagura]

Kairi: Come on now, do not avert my eyes~ I’ll shape you into a capable man~ Look at me with adoration, and all your problems will wash away~
Kagura: Ngh… Ergh, ugh, f-fine… Never a, again will I utter your name for aberrations. I shall become your… Your servant…
Kairi: Yay! It’s a done deal!

[Side: Arashi & Sora]

Sora: That’s counterproductive! It goes against the wellness of our liege! We should find a compromise that wouldn’t get anyone harmedー
Arashi: Ugh, here goes the sermon again. That's yer warnin’ as our virtuous, holier-than-thou angel? Hm?
Sora: I-I don’t understand…?
Arashi: Listen, you can’t aim fo’ zero risk. No compromise would ever spare everybody.

[Side: Towa & Mirai]

Mirai: An’ I’m tellin’ ya, that’s not the guy! Yer overthinkin’ an’ it’s makin’ you see stuff!
Towa: No it’s not! My eyes work very, very well! I’m sure of what I saw, hmph!
Mirai: Man, yer deaf to reason… Towa, here, turn ‘round.
Towa: Hm?
Mirai: Ya should get some shut-eye. Come, y’can rest on me.


[24.02.17]

Thank you for your perpetual support.
February 17th marks the birth of the Vocal Department third year from the Saitama branch, Takarada Iori.

For the occasion, Takarada Iori has addressed a video message to the citizens:

“Hello everyone, this is Iori. Today, February 17th, is my birthday!
First, I would like to thank you for all the messages you sent me. I read them all and your words really touched me. You all showed me the true power of wishing the best for someone.
With songs and my singing, I hope to return all the joy you have given me thus far. Look forward to it, and wait for me.
Each year, I’m reminded how precious every single person that has supported me is. Once again, thank you for making my birthday such a happy event to look forward to.
Please keep cheering me on for the days to come.”
