Previously on Dream Fes:

I'm Kanade Amamiya, a second-year in high school.

With the goal of reaching the top in the upcoming show, Dream Fes,

so I can win my official CD debut,

I'm working hard as an idol in the rookie class.

Shin-kun, Junya-kun, Itsuki, Chizu, and I formed the new unit DearDream.

As that was going on, Junya-kun got an offer to go overseas.

Seriously?! But why?

You can't be in Dream Fes if you go, right?

I know that.

Then why?! Weren't we gonna be in it together?!

Shut up!

We didn't see eye to eye.

But in the end, Junya-kun chose DearDream.

And we all vowed once again

to aim for Dream Fes as a unit of five!

Welcome back, Leader!

The Festival of Dreams

Dream Fes

Approaches!!

The 10 Things to Watch For at This Year's Dream Fes

Dream Fes

Bold Predictions!!!

Dream Fes Order of Appearance Confirmed!!!

Whew, I'm exhausted!

My whole body's snap-crackle-popping.

What does that mean?

That you're sore all over, right?

Ding-ding-ding-dong!

Be sure to ice up.

It's hard work, but this much should be expected.

That's true, with Dream Fes coming up so soon.

No, this isn't enough!

There's one more thing I want to do.

Why don't we do an original song at Dream Fes?

What?

An original? Like, one made by DearDream?

Idols in the rookie class usually sing songs already written by their senpai groups,

since fans are already familiar with hit songs.

So if we perform an original song that's just ours,

it's sure to leave an impression!

That's true. It would be the only song of its kind.

With KUROFUNE dominating lately, it's the only way we can turn things around.

Has anyone else ever sung an original song at Dream Fes?

No, not to my knowledge.

Of course not. Every unit picks a famous song to help them win.

But no one would know an original song,

so isn't there a chance the audience might just freeze?

I realize it's a big risk.

I agree with Junya-kun!

Huh?

Let's do a DearDream original song at Dream Fes!

If we do that, it'll be a performance all our own that no one else can do!

A performance all our own?

I agree, too.

It's a risky gamble, but I think it's worth trying.

If we can make it happen, the results could be amazing!

Let's get everyone fired up!

Here We Go!! (Make the wind roar)

Here We Go!! (Run to the future...)

Why does this light that I want to touch but can't

Grasp at my heart so much?

My unstoppable emotions (Speed-Up!) become passion for my dream

We already know our destination, don't we?

we can't talk to each other

is also a strength, and now

together as one

Let's put up the Pleasure Flag

The dazzling drama I want to make with you is about to start

Fly the Special Flag

High into the sky For My Dream!

It'll bring and it'll bring closer to me

All right, (now) let's go beyond the ultimate...

Here We Go!! (Run to the future...Start Dash!!)

The Feeling We Want to Hold High!!!!!

You want to enter Dream Fes with an original song?

Yes!

Oh? It might be the first time anyone's sung an original song

on the Dream Fes rookie stage.

It certainly is likely that multiple units might do popular songs,

like "Glory Story" and "Dream Greeting."

You really thought this out.

Ugh, bitter!

Oh, you're supposed to put this on it first.

So what will you do about a song?

Shall I assign a composer for you?

Thank you...

But would it be all right if we thought about that ourselves?

Huh?

So anyway, I got the president's permission!

Mikami-san offered his support, too!

All that's left is to do it!

There's no going back now.

It's kind of exciting, isn't it?

So, Junya-kun, what do we do about the composition?

Do you already have something in mind?

No.

But you do have some kind of lead, right?

Maybe you know someone who's a composer?

What, seriously? Awesome!

Huh? No, I don't. And I don't have any leads.

What?!

How are we supposed to write a song without a composer?

This is an important song we're making for Dream Fes.

I want to start by thinking about what kind of song to make, and who should write it.

Shin, I think you're the only one who can write the lyrics.

Will you do it?

Well, sure, that's no problem.

But what about the composition?

We'll just have to start looking from zero.

If we can't find anyone, you'd better take responsibility and write it, Jun-kun!

You idiot! I don't know anything about songwriting,

so there's no way I can write a song that'll win at Dream Fes!

If you realize that, why'd you refuse the offer?

Like I said, I want us to think about it first!

But we can't!

What's the matter?

I might know someone who can write music!

Really?!

Who?

Remember? The "Kidding!" guy.

You know, uh...

Shige-san!

This is a nice song.

Yeah!

It is.

It really is.

Send any inquiries to 1048... Tochisaki, Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture

Just what kind of guy is Shige-san?

I'd love to have him write a song for us.

Yeah! We won't go home today until he agrees!

Let's get psyched up!

Hey, hey, ho!

We're here!

We are?

This is it.

It is?

It's not quite like I imagined.

Looks like there might be bears around...

Icchan...

Shh! Quiet!

What're you doing there?

Shige-san!

Oh! You're...

We're very sorry to show up unannounced.

But we listened to your album,

and we'd love it if you'd write a song for us.

Please compose an original song for us to sing at Dream Fes!

Oh. Iwatake.

Huh?

I forgot to pick some earlier.

Should I go back over those two hills for it now?

Kidding!

Er... Huh?

I can totally grab it!

We picked some!

Sorry about this...

Also, you guys are covered in mud.

I've got a bath. Fill it up and hop in.

Thank you!

But you'll have to heat and fill it yourselves...

Kidding!

Er... Huh?

All done!

Sorry about this...

Well, it's late. Have dinner here before you go.

We can?

Sure.

But you'll have to make it yourselves...

Kidding!

Uh...

It's ready!

I really am sorry about this...

You guys are good cooks.

Thanks!

You even cleaned the house for me.

Leave it all to us!

You even did the laundry.

Think nothing of it.

My stiff shoulders feel much better, too.

Chizuru's super massage will loosen you up anytime!

Thanks.

I'll be counting on you guys every day from now on.

Sure!

Wait, we can't!

We need an original song so we can place first at Dream Fes!

We don't know anyone who can compose music.

Then we listened to your album,

and we all thought, "This is it!"

So please!

Compose a song for us!

If I were in your position,

I don't think I could entrust the writing of a song

that'll determine my life's direction to some old man in the mountains.

I'd ask someone more well-reputed.

That's not what this is about.
