Opening
-Right before [Mikansei no Rekishi] MV shooting
Karen : Aa・Aaah―
…Mm, I guess my throat is doing just fine.
Asuka : Karen
Today we’re here for the MV’s shooting aren’t we.
But despite of that, do you really intend to sing?
Karen: Of course.
Going half-way through and then end up regretting it, I definitely don’t want that to happen?
Hajime: Fufu. At the recording, when we gathered for the first time… I think that I felt it too.
That Karen-san’s attitude towards work is amazing.
So that I won’t lose, I’m also thinking to sing with the best I can.
Karen: Yup, yup that’s the way.
Asuka, you won’t do something like skimping too, right~?
Asuka: Let’s see, who knows.
What is acknowledged today, in order to make the MV gleam, to me they would be our conduct such as facial expression….
AD : Then, “Mikansei no Rekishi” MV shooting, we are starting the production!
We’ll be counting on you!
Hajime: Yes!
Asuka: …Yeah.
Karen: Leave it to me!
Hajime: (…….)
(From Asuka-chan’s voice, is filled with illusion, delicate, transparent… yet
I can feel the tint of complexity…. A color, which I don’t possess…)
Asuka: (…….)
(Within Karen’s melody, it appears that her strength and inadequacy are inclusionary…
(It’s as if, she destines to bemuse the audience… as if she challenges them.)
Karen : (…….)
(Hajime’s singing, even though it’s soft… it doesn’t hide her will to move forward.
(And also… fufu, it’s so selfish. She probably doesn’t notice though.)
Director: Good work!
The three of you really had good vibes!
Asuka : If this much, it doesn’t even count as a task… was what I wanted to say.
In the concerto where our soul reverberated upon each other that developed a new delight, I can but acknowledge it.
Karen : Geez―seriously.
If you had fun, 
you could’ve just be honest and say so.
…But, I guess something like a reaction happened there.
I can’t really explain though.
Hajime: Fufu, you’re right.
I believe that, it will be a good piece.
To all of the staff.
Thank you very much for today.
As for the finishing, we are leaving everything to you.
Director: Yes yes, leave it to me!
I will make this the best MV ever!
A few days later…
Asuka : …… …Hm.
Why did Producer, called us today…
It’s understandable for Hajime to question the idea.
However it’s not only that if we are calling it something inexplicable.
In the beginning… why does the song such is “Mikansei no Rekishi” was granted to us?
Myself, Karen, and Hajime. These three, was given the ephemeral or to say the opportunity to meet at the time.
I wonder… if it was that Producer wanted to see us contravene, or could it be that perhaps he had the intention to create a toxic vessel?
Hajime: U-u…m?
Asuka-chan… what’s the matter with the vase?
Karen : Good work― ...Huh?
Isn’t it Hajime and Asuka.
Were you two called by Producer?
Hajime: Yes.
But we’ve also had just arrived....
P : [Everyone, good work]
Asuka : Hey, Producer. Just what business do you have with us?
If it’s the recording, and MV shooting, 
I don’t think that there is any flaw in them.
P : [It’s good. Even my upper up praised it.]
Karen : Hehe.
Well, obviously.
Asuka : …Heh.
…Then, today we won’t be doing something like re-recording,
I suppose.
P : Yes, and instead of it….
[I was thinking of giving you another task to take on]
Hajime: Isn’t this… a single-lens camera?
It’s quite big; I suppose that it’s full-scaled equipment.
Asuka : It’s not like that I’m knowledgeable about camera…
its rugged and inconvenient yet it has a refined silhouette, not bad
Karen : Its Aiko’s… nah, rather than her, it’s more like the one Tsubaki-san prefers.
(Note: Karen was referring to Aiko Takamori and Tsubaki Egami.)
So, what are we shooting with this?
P : It will be a bonus for “Mikansei no Rekishi” CD….
[I want you to take the scenes of your current “Present”]
Karen : …And so that’s the project’s about.
Hnn, sounds interesting.
Asuka : I see.
We, who are usually the subject of the portraits, are now the photographer.
No, I suppose that it means becoming the “observer”
Hajime: I don’t have any experience in taking photos but…
But to answer to Producer-san’s words, I’ll make sure that I will do it well.
Karen : Fu-fu―nn♪it’s easy it’s easy, just leave it to me.
I’m also used to taking selfies for my social media accounts…
well but it’s only on my phone camera?
P : [This might be simpler than how I’d thought they’d be.]
Karen : Mmm…?
Hajime: Um, Producer-san.
Just what does that mean...?
Asuka : …. Well, well.
You sometimes do say ambiguous things.
Karen`: Yeah really― if you keep it up, you’ll only get hurt, you know?
…Ah, that’s right. Asuka and Hajime lend me your ears for a sec.
*Whispers whispers whisphers* ….
(Somehow. I have a bad feeling…)

chapter 1
And so, everyone went out from the office to do “Mikansei no Rekishi” CD bonus’s shooting
Karen : Wow, look!
The sakura blossomed already!
Isn’t this year’s a bit too early?
Hajime: It seems so.
Before they start to fall, I would love to go for a flower viewing with everyone else.
It’s a bit unfortunate that today, we hadn’t prepared for anything…
Asuka : Flower-viewing… huh.
I’m not really fond of bright and crowded place as such.
But if they are for the beauty of these sakura, it’s not something that I can’t understand.
However… why would the adults bother, 
to have a drinking party under the sakura tree?
If making a commotion while drifting and getting drunk was their intention, they could’ve just gone to the pub.
Karen : …And so you hear?
 So how’s it, Producer-san, as the adults’ representative~?
He~ey.
P : … *pant*, *pant*.
Hajime: U-um, Producer-san.
As I thought, I will be carrying my own luggage…
Karen : Shh, Hajime, you sho―uldn’t spoil him.
Producer can still walk more briskly, you see?
…*giggles*♪
Asuka : Yeah. The one who was consent in taking the role as in carrying the luggage and as the cameraman was no other than you, Producer.
It’s troubling if you don’t accomplish that role to the very end.
One hour ago…
*As Karen whispers something to the rest*
Asuka, Karen, Hajime: …….
(Somehow, I have a bad feeling…)
Karen : Hey, hey, Producer-san
As for the one for “Mikansei no Rekishi” CD bonus, you see, we’re told to take our own “present”… so about that~.
Hajime: Um… so without the help of a professional cameraman, which also mean that, including the role of the one who does the shooting, would this interpretation of “our present” be fine?
P : Yes.
Asuka : Hum… meaning. 
In this photographing, no matter how it is, it has come to that Producer’s assistance is required.
P : [Ehh]   [Why?]
Hajime: That is of course.
It’s because that in order for us to express “our present” the presence of a Producer is necessary.
Karen : Well, so that’s how it is― 
Look, Producer-san, it should be fine sometimes, right?
If you trust Chihiro-san for the desk job everything is gonna be fine!
Asuka : …It’s because you would at times, have tempted to send us alone to impose a trial.
Sometimes instead of being the instigator, I think you should become the accomplice.
Hajime: As for us, if Producer-san is here with us,  we would feel reassured….
Karen : Right― Right―.
Fufu, this time, you really have to tag along till the ve~ry end.
Ah, while you’re at it if you’d also carry our belongings I’d be really happy♪
P : [Karen, you see, this bag is the heaviest so…]        [What’s inside this bag?]
Karen : Eh? There’s not much in it though?
Water bottle and, makeups and―, everyone’s snacks aand. 
Also, it might be cold so, stuff like a spare jacket―
Asuka : *chuckles*. You’d better be proud of it, Producer.
For being tasked of your own important belongings, 
that alone declares how much you are trusted.
Hajime: Ah, um… Since we’ve walked a long way, from the office, why don’t we have a break here and take some pictures?
Karen: Hnn~, well, you’re right.
The sakura is pretty, and in terms of spot this place is pretty nice so, why not?
Asuka : I don’t mind either.
Since earlier, we’ve wandered without an objective…
with exception of the directions, we entrusted it to Producer.
Hajime: well then… Producer-san.
My apologies but, please take care of the shutter.
As I thought that for the first one, I’d love to take it with the three of us.
Thinking about it, calling a passerby to ask them to take it for us, would’ve been a bit awkward…
P : [I understand]
P: Well then, line up―…
Karen : Mm, thanks♪
Producer-san, show me the one you took.
Lemme see….
Asuka : Unfortunately, now, I have even not a word to say
I mean... Hajime why were you standing so upright?
It’s as if you were in a school’s group photo.
Hajime: E-eh… W-was it weird?
But, as you mentioned, it’s perhaps because I wasn’t sure about my position.
If Karen-san is compared to mine… she looks just like a model.
Karen : Mnn~, I think I put a little too much of sexiness to it.
And Asuka… this pose, I think you did it too cool?
Asuka : It appears that my flesh, 
moved not by consciousness but by my anima
For Producer to be aiming the lens is rare, after all
Hajime: …How do I put it
Overall… there’s no unity at all.
Is it safe to call it awkward?
Karen : You’re right… rather than how Producer-san takes the pictures,  maybe we are the problem itself.
Asuka : Hum…. the understanding among us…
or perhaps, it could have been that there was nothing that resonates among us.
…Well, or should I say, it’s quite right.
Aside from the song…. 
It’s not like the three of us had any shared quality.
Hajime: I-is that so?
But, if it’s how it is… what should we do, 
so that we can make a good picture of the three of us?
A picture that would make the people, who would buy our song, “Mikansei no Rekishi” CD happy….
Karen : Mn―….In the first place, just how we were supposed to get this “our present”, I wonder.
Just by taking it won’t do, right.
Hajime: Um, Producer-san.
Even though it’s only beginning, please excuse me….
But would you please, tell us any hint?
P : [Points towards the hint]
Hajime: Um… huh?
The ones there are…
Yuzu : Ahahahah!
Here goes!
Hinako: Mufufufufu~♪

Chapter 2
Among the Sakura trees
Yuzu : There~!
Hinako: Oh, oopsies~
Karen : Hey.
Aren’t those girls over there, Hinako and…
Hajime: And Yuzu-chan aren’t they
Asuka  : In the open spot of the park, it appears that they’re playing badminton…
P : [You two―!]
Hinako: Yes~♪
Yuzu : Ye―ss!
Yuzu : Here as we’re called!
It’s ‘Kita’-mi Yuzu!
Hinako: Mufufufu~♪
I’m ‘Kita’ Hinako~
P : [And with the two combined―?]
Hinako: We’re the Kita-Kita-s~.
Yuzu : We’re the Kita-Kita-s!
Hajime: *claps*
Y-yay―
Asuka : …Hehe.
This is yet another…
Nonsense, should I say.
Karen : Ahaha, I guess it’s like you can at least appreciate the effort?
...W-hold on? Why are you two sandwiching around me?
Yuzu : Goodness!
Seems there’s a new member joining our ita-Kita-s! Right― Hinako-chan?
Hinako: You’re right, Yuzu-cha~n.
With “Kita”jou Karen-san joining, together we are~…
(**The first character of Karen’s surname 北 can also be read as “Kita”)
Hinako: The Kita-Kita-Kitas~♪
Yuzu : The Kita-Kita-Kitas!
Karen : It’s Ho-u-jo-u!
I said, my last name is Hojo, seriously~!
Hajime: …Um, anyway…
Why are Yuzu-chan and Hinako-chan here?
Asuka : It most likely a deposit of the chief Producer over there.
Am I wrong?
Yuzu : As expected from Asuka-chan, you did great♪
You see, we spent too much time waiting so we played badminton and we even get to practice our callsign~
Hinako: We heard it from Producer-san~.
Everyone here is doing a photoshoot for the CD’s special bonus~.
One page of youth taken in a frame… mfufu, how wonderful~♪
Asuka : Youth, huh….
Good grief, this wasn’t supposed to be that of a greenish work in the first place
Karen : Until now, we haven’t been that close with each other, and we don’t even have any similarities.
So we’re having troubles in what kind of photo that we should do.
Yuzu : I see―! Well, then, instead of using your head, it’d be more fun to take them while moving your body, in this kind of thing!
Hajime: Fufu.
It’s a cheerful and fun way of thinking just like you are, Yuzu-chan.
Asuka : …indeed. 
That lightness is perhaps in particular, a factor that the three of us is lacking.
Hinako: Lightly fantasizing is fun, but~. 
Sometimes, badminton is also fun~.
While I was waiting for everyone, that’s what Yuzu-chan taught me~.
Hajime: Badminton, that’s nice.
The weather is nice too…
Moving your body seems to be fun♪
Karen : A―ah.
Hajime, despite that face you have a hot-blooded persona.
…Hm? Asuka, you’re not doing it?
Asuka : …don’t mind it too much. 
Yesterday I indulged myself in Dvorak until late.
So I really don’t feel like moving my body right now.
Karen : Geez, you’re just acting all cool―.
Well then, let’s have a bet so you’ll get motivated.
It’s cliché, but let’s do the ‘the one that lost has to do what the winner says’.
Asuka : …heh.
That proposal… I wonder if you’d regret it, Karen.
Karen : Fufufu, that’s the way♪
Ah, that’s right!
Hajime, you also have to participate in the bet♪
Hajime: …Huh? Bet?
What are we talking about?
Asuka : ..Fuh. For me to participate in such a game… 
I too have gotten too soft.
Hajime: Well then, I will serve the first shot.
…focus your mind on it…
There!
*SFX: snaps*
Yuzu : Aha! Hajime-chan, you look like you’re swinging a fishing rod!
Hajime: H-huh…?
I tried to remember the movement that was taught to me, but I accidentally…
Hinako: It’s finally Karen-san and Hinako’s faithful showdown~♪ mufu♪
the one who wins, will tie the knot with the prince who’s waiting at the podium~♪
Karen : What, wait what does that mean!?
Somehow, it’s now a game that I don’t know of!?
*SFX: snaps*
Asuka : …kuh…!
How stubborn…
*SFX: snaps*
Yuzu : Fufun, how’s it, how’s it~!
Yuzu-chan’s infinite rally strategy cannot be broken with something like that~♪
Asuka : I will shut your needless retort…!
This is… this shot is with all I’ve got!
Yuzu : Too bad, its out―…
…Hold on, Producer-san, duck your head―!
After several tens of minutes
Hinako: the badminton tournament, was more exciting than I thought it’d be~.
Producer-san, about earlier, were you alright~?
P : [Somehow]
Hinako: Mufu, then that’s a relief~.
It’s almost time for lunch…
So for the next one, what about a fantasy talk with everyone~♪
Hajime: *pant, pant*…
I’m sorry, Hinako-chan…
But the match’s result hasn’t been decided yet…
*SFX: snaps*
Asuka : One more time…!
Just because it’s a game, why would I let it end with loss…!
*SFX: snaps*
Hajime: I feel the same way…!
Please rearrange the match…!
Karen : A―ah, Asuka’s started burning up too~.
How youthful~♪
Yuzu : As she said it, Karen-chan who fired up Asuka-chan, is now relaxing with a cup of tea… totes.

Chapter 3
Among the Sakura trees
Yuzu : And so, the badminton tournament hosted by Yuzu-chan
the winner of ‘Mikansei no Rekishi’ cup is, participant Fujiwara Hajime~!
Hinako: Mufu, congratulations~
*SFX: clapping*
Hajime: Thank you very much.
It seems that the results of my trained legs have spoken.
Asuka : Hum… If it was only the terms of badminton technique, the ability of the three of us just rivals each other’s.
Therefore, physical strength was what made the difference between winning and losing.
Karen : Well, if it’s physical strength against the girl who goes jogging 5AM in the morning, I guess its pretty hard―.
So, Hajime…. What do you want to make Asuka and I do?
Hajime: Eh?  …Ah, I suppose we talked about something like it. Umm…
I was desperate with the game, so I didn’t think about it at all…
Hinako: Hajime-san, that’s so nice~♪
Hinako wants to ask the prince for this and that too~♪ 
Mufufu~♪
Hajime: This, and that…?
Ah, that’s right!
I’d like the two of you to teach me the ways to be fashionable♪
Hajime: Compared to when I’ve had just left Okayama, even if just a little I think I’ve grown too…
But compared to Karen-san and Asuka-chan, I’ve still got a long way to go!
Asuka : …Fuh.
What, are you sure with something like that?
Karen : Okay―, leave it to me♪
Then, let’s go back to the office at once♪
Hajime: Yes, I’ll be in your care!
Office
Hajime: …Ah, braided exte―!?
Soft-jell’s deco-deco nail!?
You two, just what kind of magic are those…!?
Karen : Fufufu~♪ 
It’s a magic to turn Hajime-chan
 into super Hajime-chan~♪
Come on sit over there―. Show me your nails―?
He―h, so this is what a potter’s hand is like~.
No way~ , your wrist joint is so soft~
Asuka : Her hair quality is nutritious and healthy as well.
It’s like its asking to be messed around…
Hajime: Ah, um…! Asuka-chan, Karen-san…Isn’t the hurdle suddenly a little too high…!?
Asuka : *giggle*.
Consider everything an experience, Hajime
Karen : Also today, I’ll only do your hand nails♪
I won’t do that holding your feet thing~♪
Hajime: B-but…
having my hair messed around and nails painted, 
is already kind of ticklish~!
Karen : Fuu~.
Asuka : …Fuh.
Hajime: …Uu….
…Um…H-how… is it. Yuzu-chan, Hinako-chan…?
Hinako: ….
…Um.
Yuzu : Umm! 
I guess it’s “at least you tried kind of feeling”―
Hajime: A-as I thought, something like this wouldn’t look good on me!
Pardon me, but please turn it back, Karen-sann.
Karen : Ah―, after walking around, exercising, and teasing Hajime, now I’m kind of hungry―
We haven’t had lunch yet, so why don’t all of us go to the canteen?
Hinako: Mufu, that’s a good idea~♪
You can’t daydream with an empty stomach~♪
Hajime: E-eehh! Wait, everyone, please wait~!
Office’s Canteen
Yuzu: Today’s Yuzu-chan has ordered for lunch set A!
The side dishes are meatball and crocket!
Hinako: Huh, Yuzu-chan, we’re matching~♪
I also ordered for set A~.
What about you, Karen-san~?
Karen : I ordered the B.L.T set.
The one with potato.
Hinako: Eh, Karen-san’s the only one different? 
Even though we’re the Kita-Kita-Kitas….
Karen : Come on, quit that already~!
…Huh? Asuka, you’re not ordering anything?
Asuka : No. I have this thing.
SFX: *Snaps*
Karen : Hey, that’s just a blocked nutritional food.
And also, the sample that Chihiro-san got at that.
Asuka : Oh. It’s inexpensive and there’s no hassle is there?
This is just right for me right now.
Besides, even Hajime doesn’t seem to be ordering anything?
Hajime: Ah, actually, I brought some onigiri from the dorms…
But in my case, I didn’t thought I’d be doing this much exercise, so I’m thinking it might not be enough.
Yuzu : Then, I’m giving you my meatballs!
For a fishcake in return in the future!
Hajime: Fufu, thank you very much.
By the way, at that time I was eating with Yuzu-chan in this cafeteria, We talked about why we became idols.
Yuzu : Ah―, we did―!
I was scouted―, then it looks like fun―.
Hajime-chan went looking for something she didn’t have in her I think.
Hajime: That’s right….Whether I’ve find it or not… I still don’t know.
Hinako: So, Hajime-chan and the others was like that~.
If it’s Hinako, I want my prince somewhere out there to be able to find me~. Mufu♪
Asuka : If you’re saying it then… If it’s me, I was on the side that’s found.
The tone of my soul captured Producer’s…
But I don't think it was just that.
Karen : I… I guess, well, I was scouted, I guess―.
I refused the first time, though. But Producer was pretty forceful, you know?
…How troublesome, seriously.
Hinako: Eh, Karen-san, you ever refused to being scouted~? 
It’s unexpected~.
Yuzu : Yup, yup! If it’s Karen-chan, she might say something like “It’s normal for me to be scouted”
Karen : Ah―… yeah.
…Well, that’s that….
P : [What’s the matter?]
Asuka : Well, Producer.
Aren’t you late…
Oh, I see. 
Did it take time to get the theme to work?
P: Sorry to have kept you waiting.
No, we were talking too.
Well then, let's start, everyone?
Bon appetit♪ 
Bon appetit!

-Office cafeteria-
Thanks for the food!
It was delicious.
Thanks for the food !
Ah, we'll help put away your dishes and trays~
Thank you!
Then let's go Hinako-chan!
After this, you have a lesson with me.
Everyone, good luck with your photos!
Yuzu-chan, Hinako-chan.
Thank you very much.
Seeya
Now that we lunched...
Hey, why don't you look back at what we've taken up so far?
You've printed the data we saved until now?
Can you show me?
Walking, working out, talking, the meal, all these scenes...
Thanks to Yuzu-chan, there are more photos that we can use.
Yeah, There is a scene in which Hajime became Super Hajime.
Ah, that was...
Please, forget it!
But...
The pictures here are not enough yet.
Aren't you thinking that Producer?
Eh... is that true? Producer-san
It's hard to say that we're done, but...
P: If I have to say...
>>I'd like a photo that matches this song
This song....
So you mean a photo that matches [Mikansei no Rekishi] (Unfinished History)?
However... history is a pile of the past.
On the other hand, the camera can only cut a brief moment of the "present".
P: But we can look back
...That's right.
Even if you don't see it in the picture, you can go back in memory.
and express it in the "present".
But...
Well... but...
I don't think I really want to tell about my past.
It's not interesting...
I agree...
Me too...
Oh, of course, I think it's important to open our hearts to each other...
Hmm?
Not only Asuka, but Hajime too?
It's a bit unexpected.
Hehe...Unexpected we thought the same
In other words, I, Karen, Hajime and others have their own thoughts...
About our past, our history.
P: The past and the future are connected
The past and future...
Hajime: An [Unfinished History]...
... Umm... Sorry
May I have some time to think?
I'd like to take some time to reflect on it....
... Yeah, I think it fine
After having our meal, it seems that
my blood has gone to work on my stomach instead....
I think that I'll go for a little walk
I don't mind as well
Well then... See you in a moment
You too Producer
(......)
( ... An [Unfinished History] huh)
( I felt this while we were recording and filming the MV...)
(As our singing overlapped, whether I liked it or not, I could feel it....)
(Whether it's Karen or Hajime, they're not like all the countless nobodies
They are imposing beings with their very own worlds...)
(Both Hajime and Asuka have gained experience through their past, their histories...
And they have walked their own paths to reach here)
(Paths that are vastly different to mine. But... I don't want to lose)
(... I don't want to lose, I think
However, the path that I've took till now... Is it alright to say that it was right?)
(And even if Karen-san's or Asuka-chan's is right, then what about me...)
(... This might be a good opportunity
Let's stop for a while and reflect...
On the thing we call our past)
... I was born into a family with a history of making pottery, 
and I was raised in a land rich in nature
The earliest memory that I have,
is of me staring at a revolving pottery wheel
An ordinary lump of mud slowly changes into a container before my eyes
It was like magic. My grandfather's hands, with mud-stained into his skin, to me, were like the hands of a magician
Grandfather from Hajime's memories: [Oh Hajime, you want to spin the wheel?
... I see. Then ask your grandma to help you change into some clothes that is fine getting dirtied]
Admiration, learning, memorizing, spending much of my time at the work desk and the kiln....
... But my hands, no matter how much I tried, could only produce unrefined and boring containers
The way I was, there was no way I could be a potter or meet my grandfather's expectations... I was convinced of that
To change my boring self, I sought after something outside of the kiln
Desperately, I made a leap into the dark...
Or perhaps, it was to run away, I left my hometown
... And then....
And then, I met Producer-san
Asuka: I wonder, when did I start finding others around me annoying...
... Perhaps, ever since I was born, the world around me has felt noisy to me
When I was around elementary school, I remember being in the library a lot
It wasn't, particularly because I was a bookworm...
It's just that, in the boisterous elementary school
my only place of solace was the library where talking was forbidden
Classmate from Asuka's memories: [Asuka-chan's a little different from everyone, you're so weird!]
During the lower grades of elementary school, a classmate that I felt I had gotten along relatively well with said this of me
I have no idea what she had been feeling when she said this of me
But, being on the receiving end of that, it didn't make me unhappy....
No, honestly, that probably made me happier than when I got praised for getting full marks on a test
Being different from others
Being weird
To me, it felt something like a badge of honor
I mean, isn't that the case?
I don't want to be a nobody. I don't want to be just noise in the background
I don't want to be a substitute for someone... Isn't that the case for everyone?
That's why....
So as to get more badges, I chose to be isolated
And so, that was the birth of the [cringy person] that you can find anywhere else
By the time I realised, there no longer was anyone around me who could understand me
I might have to continue being alone in my seek for peace and quiet...
I think I've started to realise and begun accepting that
And then... I met Producer
Truthfully, I don't really want to think about the past
If I go through my memories, the first thing I'll remember would be the peculiar sanitizer smell of the hospital....
The repetition of injections, blood tests and drips
And gradually getting used to the pain of needles
That was my routine as a kid
My only connection to the outside from my ward is the small screen on the LCD TV
Watching the energetic, healthy and blessed people in the TV, a faint admiration grew in my young self
But even that dream or admiration... Eventually turned into jealousy
I mean could you blame me?
I couldn't even put in the effort to try to achieve my dream
All I could do was to give up on everything
... Even then....
Nurse from Karen's memories: [The doctor said that if you continue to improve, you'll be able to discharge next week. That's great, Karen-san!]
... Even though they said that and suddenly threw me out
... Even with my body recovered, there's no way my mind, which had been so used to giving up, 
would be able to just return to normal...
... Back then, I was just the worst
I was so twisted
I had become sick of living....
And so, it was then... I met Producer-san
(If only I could use the time I had spent rotting away on my lessons...
Just how high would I have reached by now)
(It's because I'm the [cringy person]
That back then and now, I keep accumulating the cringy moments)
(But... I don't want to deny my past
That's because....)
(Even if it's just a coincidence, or whatever it may be. 
It's because I met Producer-san... I became an idol.
That's why, I am here right now)
Asuka, Karen & Hajime: (Then... What about my future self?)
Ch5
See future iris
Producer office
It’s been a while since the three of them went to different places to relive the past…
(It’s about time I go pick up the three of them)
(Who should I go to first?)
Choice: Go to Asuka, Karen, and Hajime
A: It’s you huh…
I came to pick you up
A: ……
A: Come to think of it, it was undecipherable from the start.
Why did you give the three of us a song named [Incomplete history].
A: In the end, this is what you were after right?
Producer, you wanted to see the moment the three histories that we have walking separately came colliding together.
A: The three of us have different interests, thought patterns, and personalities, it seems.
But deep down we’re connected by the way we’re all grappling with some kind of kink…
Well, Karen’s not going to say anything remotely like this out loud, so it’s all hypothetical.
A: When two paths cross, the travellers who stop there observe the other path, and check back upon the path they came, their history.
A: I suppose for us who have no maps, it’s a necessary ritual.
Whether or not the path you tread upon stretches out straight to your destination…
You need that confidence to keep moving forward, for the sake of the future
Yeah, that's it. When I'm going to meet someone...I'll continue my quest on this road you've opened.
How to live... Find a way to prove my existence.
Oops. I've already found one.
And is is how to rebel against this noisy world...
Yes,  through sing.
Pick Karen
K: Oh, Producer-san
I came to pick you up
K: Ah, thanks. Hey Producer-san, do you have a minute?
What’s up
K: Then look over here at my camera…
Good, line up, line up
……?
K: … Ehehe, I took quite a few pictures today, but I realized I haven’t taken any of Producer-san
K: Producer-san, you’ve known me since I was still not up to scratch.
That sort of thing… don’t go forgetting all that, ok?
K: Ah, it’s not like I’m forcing you or anything, ok?
It’s just… That picture just now, it reminded me that all that past stuff, it’s all my history.
K: By riding out of my dark history, finally my history started to move forward.
Around me there’s a lot of bright shining stars but… I… I’m going to shine brighter than anyone else.
K: Right now, I don’t know if there’s such thing as a finished work.
But keep watching me to the very end, my Producer-san
Pick Hajime
Producer-san.
Did you come all the way here to  pick me?
Yes
Hehe. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you very much.
.......
Producer-san...
In the past, I was a container that my hands created.
I hated my own boringness and wanted to change,  so I became an idol.
But... I started to feel like this while was working.
It's not a boring part for me, it's just...
There may be a lot of good things  I have.
I'm sure that I have inherited the spirituality of Fujiwara Hajime, who has been linked to my long history of pottery, in my own way.
And...
Even now, when I became an idol, I am still walking a  path with old met.
I think that's because the producer takes care of me...
So, let me say it again.
Thank you so much for meeting me. Producer...
After the break, the three continued to taking photos for a while...
It's getting completely dark ...
Isn't it late for the early rise of Hajime?
Well ... To tell the truth, just a little.
A lot of things happened today.
Oh. Really?
My eyes are finally clear.
Cherry blossoms look better under the moonlight, don't they?
That's true. Then let's take the last one here.
But, yeah.
This is the last time.
I had a lot of fun today...
 But from tomorrow...
...That's right. We'll waiting for another job or lesson. Each one is a new event.
According to the producer's story, there seems to be no plans for us as unit to work  for the time being
That means ...
As a rival... We might end up bumping into each other.
Hehe. Being a idol is interesting.
As a unit, we can support us each other, or also as rivals, we can clash.
And more strangely, even if your birth, circumstances, and history are completely different...
There is no obstacle to becoming an idol.
You can concentrate on your roots and work hard to improve yourself.
Enyoing the process is up to each of us..isn't?
Like this...
Ah, Hajime.
Are you going to lay down without a seat?
The night cherry blossoms and the starry sky were very pretty.
And...If it were Yuzu-chan, I might enjoy it in such a free way.
...Oh. To be honest... I don't mind enjoying it this way, either.
Geez, Asuka too.
Then, me too.
It's still a little cold, but...
When I were stay in this way, I feel the warmth of the soil...
Spring, isn't it?
The freezing season becames a snap in  memory.
In the past, I've moved forward a little bit, and then I've become an idol...
There is a brilliant flower haze in front of us today.
If I hadn't stepped forward then, if I hadn't been idol,
and we wouldn't have even met.
After today's end, we will part again
But what I felt during work was accumulated in my memory...
It gives me a clue to look back on my path.
Even if we walk on different paths and live differently.
As much as possible, we aim for high as idol.
Connect from the past that can't be changed, in each way...
Our aim is far away... shining, like the stars.
CLEAR FINDER

"Mikansei no Rekishi" CD handing-off
Fan A: Fujiwara-san! 
I listened to the new song!
I can't express it enough, but it was really good! It was super good!
Oh, Thanks very much
I'm glad to hear that you liked it so much!
FanB: Karen-chan, I'm glad to meet you!
But I... I couldn't get a ticket for the next Triad Primus live... If that's the case, as Karen-chan's fan, I'm disqualified. …。
Hehe. It's okay. That's not true.
You bought me a CD and came to the hand-off party.
You're giving us what you're limited to.
Fan C: ......
Asuka: ........
Fan C: ............. (Gulp)
......*Giggle*
- Waiting room -
P: Everyone, thank you for work
Good job too, Producer
Thank  for your hard work, Producer-san
Sigh...certainly, I'm a little tired.
Being involved with strangers in turns and turns...Hardly that it's an environment for me
Oh, so shy.
I mean... There were some Asuka fans who just looked at her without saying anything.
What was that?
It's just...some of my fans know that I'm not good at this kind of thing.
And they also seem to be more pleased to communicate with me through their eyes than using futile words.
So that's what happened.
Hehe, what splendid fans.
I think these events are a great opportunity to interact with fans directly, like singing on LIVE.
Yeah, yeah.
But I didn't expect to get a handing over job before the CD was released.
You are right.. it was a little surprising.
I've been told before there was no plans for us 3 to work together for a while.
Everyone's schedule is full of individual work and each unit's activities.
It seems that the producer adjusted it well today...
>>Sorry for the sudden it was.
Relax relax. It doesn't bother me at all being busy.
I agree.
It's fun to be able to work with everyone.
Good grief...how optimistic.
Let me thank you at least, producer.
You're about the only person who can spur me on like that
Staff: The placement of the audience and stage preparations are ready.
Please be ready!
Oh, I guess it's time.
A mini-stage where we perform our new song to the people who came to the this event...Let's do our best!
There were very few trainings scheduled, but... I can't expect that Asuka and Hajime will FAIL in ther perfomance, right?
Ha...This is nothing compared to having a series of conversations with people I've never met before.
Furthermore... Even if it's akin to a brief moment in time
My history has certainly progressed since that day
Which means that there's no point for needless worrying
I'm okay, too. Rather, Rather, I think I can sing better because I know what we did through the MV filming and the photos.
Well then, let's jump on the stage.
We've moved a little further into the future since that day.
Dear fans.
Thank you for coming.
I'm so happy to be able to share this day with you.
Today is the day... We who live in the present only exist in this moment.
This event may be brief, but...
But it's not just about us, it's about many people's feelings and efforts.
Don't be ashamed of your past.
And don't let your future self laugh at you.
In our present state, we're continue evolving...
Everyone here will be the witness.
Now, listen...
