[L?] A Beat Begins to Play
Hm? Miss Yukari's normally around here somewhere...
(What's gotten into her?!)
Yukari
Oh, you're finally here. I got tired of waiting so I decided to dance for a while.
Yukari
Do you happen to like listening to music?
I sure do! I like singing a lot, too!
I do. But I guess it depends on the genre...!
Choice Selected: "I sure do! I like singing a lot, too!"
Yukari
I'm glad to hear that. Now I know for sure you'll enjoy the next interworld festival.
Yukari
It's all about music and is packed with more singing and dancing than you can wave a glow stick at.
Yukari
There'll be soothing melodies, funky bass riffs, and rocking guitar solos. I hope you enjoy it.
Yukari
Now, let me introduce the venues―I mean, worlds of this festival.
Continue onto main branch.
Choice Selected: "I do. But I guess it depends on the genre...!"
Yukari
I suppose I'm the same.
Yukari
There are all kinds of music stemming from different regions, each with their own unique history.
Yukari
So perhaps simply saying you like music is a little tricky.
Yukari
Hehe. I was just making conversation, but you really thought about your answer, didn't you? I'm glad.
Yukari
Although, my question was meant to segue into something important... the next interworld festival.
Yukari
I hope you'll hear some music you like as we watch the stories unfold.
Yukari
Now, let me introduce the venues―I mean, worlds of this festival.
Main Branch
Yukari
One world is obsessed with music and live concerts. And the other...
Yukari
Actually, I guess that describes both of them.
Yukari
After all, there's also plenty of music in the world that receives lots of visitors from other worlds.
Yukari
Things are a little loud there, but I'm sure you'll get used to it...
Yukari
In any case―
Yukari
You should be careful. You're in for a bumpy ride.
Yukari
Hehe. But most importantly, try to have fun. That's what festivals are all about.
Yukari
See you again soon, PLAYER.
[L2.3] A New Idol Group!
Somewhere in the L2.3 Universe...
Hatate
What do I do? What do I do?
Hatate
Publishing a music magazine was a great idea of mine, but I never thought it'd be this hard to get interviews.
Hatate
The whole point was to sell a thousand copies and finally shut Aya up. I can't afford to fail.
Hatate
But I can't find a single musician to talk to.
Hatate
The outfits I ordered at Kourindou are done, and I just know everyone's gonna love them!
Hatate
But...
Hatate
I ordered them and the new outfits for "BOUZU" and Two Girls Band before securing myself any interviews.
Hatate
At this rate, I'll have more outfits than stories for my magazine.
Hatate
I gotta find me some musicians, quick.
Hatate
*sob* My magazine's gonna die before it ever hits the shelves...
Hi, Hatate!
...Are you OK? You seem upset.
Hatate
If I have to choose between "I'm OK" and "I'm not OK," then I'd say I'm definitely not OK...
Lyrica
Oh, that's terrible. Is there anything we can do to help?
Merlin
I know. Why don't we play her a song?!
Lunasa
Great idea. Lyrica, Merlin, get your instruments ready.
Hatate
Wait, I know those voices...
Hatate
Why, if it isn't the Prismriver Sisters!
Hatate
(Play it cool, Hatate. This is my chance to snag an interview!)
Lyrica
Hey... whatcha doing there?
Hatate
Oh, nothing...
Hatate
I was just wondering if you'd let me interview you!
Merlin
Like, a regular interview?
Hatate
Yeah. But this one comes with a request!
Lunasa
Oh, uhh... What kinda request?
Hatate
Hehehe. I want you to start...
Hatate
A brand new idol group!
[L2.3] Journalistic Woes
Merlin
A new idol group?!
Lunasa
So you want to interview us dressed up like idols?
Hatate
Exactly. It doesn't sound so bad, right? Whaddya say?
Merlin
It sounds like fun!
Lunasa
It sure does. We'd love to say yes...
Lyrica
But we don't have any idol outfits.
Hatate
Hehehe, don't worry. I've got you covered.
Hatate
Check it out! Pretty cute, right?!
Wow, they're amazing!
Merlin
S-So cute! You're really gonna give these to us?!
Lyrica
I love how frilly the skirts are!
Lunasa
I-I wonder if any of them will suit me?
Hatate
Well, I ordered one for each of you. I'd love it if you wore them at your next concert!
Lunasa
...Our next concert's no good.
Merlin
No way! What gives, Lunasa?
Lunasa
Don't tell me you guys have forgotten?
Merlin & Lyrica
...Oh, yeah!
Lyrica
We already have special outfits for our next concert.
Lunasa
Exactly.
Lunasa
Sorry, Hatate. We'll find some other time to wear your outfits.
Hatate
But I had them specially made for you...!
Hatate
That's it. This calls for a battle! If I win, you wear what I want you to wear!
Hatate
*sob* I can't give up...!
Gotta love that determination!
Hatate
Will you at least tell me WHY you can't wear my outfits at your next concert?!
Lunasa
Because I'll feel embarrassed in anything that cute...
Lunasa
I-I mean... Because we won't be playing alone.
Lyrica
Yep. Raiko's gonna be on stage with us.
Merlin
Those outfits look amazing... but you only have three, right?
Lunasa
That's why we asked to wear them another time. Is that a problem?
Hatate
So it's a Prismriver With H concert, huh? I wanted you to wear them as soon as possible, but ah well.
Hatate
Are you free the day after the concert?
Merlin
Yeah, probably!
Lunasa
Hold up, Merlin. We should check our schedule.
???
Hey, everyone. What's going on?
[L2.3] Prismatic
Lyrica
Hi, Raiko! Great timing!
Merlin
Come over here a sec!
Raiko
What's up?
Lunasa
Well...
Raiko
I see.
Raiko
Being in an idol group sounds pretty fun, though.
Raiko
OK! Let's postpone the Prismriver With H concert to another day!
Hatate
Are you serious?!
Raiko
Of course I am! There's just one condition.
Hatate
And what's that?
Raiko
Don't worry, it's nothing bad. I just want these three to show me something.
Prismriver Sisters
What...?
Raiko
Lunasa, Merlin, Lyrica!
Raiko
Use your bullets and music... to show me what kind of idols you're gonna be!
Raiko
That was a pretty good jam. But... I feel like you were all a bit quiet.
What can they do to fix that?
Hatate
I know! What if they wore my costumes? That might help raise the volume.
Merlin & Lyrica
Good idea!
Lunasa
...Are you sure about this?
Hatate
You bet I am! I ordered them for you, after all. (Not that you asked me to!)
Raiko
It's settled, then! I'll come, too.
Hatate
Kourindou, here we come!
Hatate
Introducing the new Prismriver idol group!
Lunasa
Hehe, what do you think? Does it suit me?
Merlin
Ta-da! It's me, but now I'm even cuter!
Lyrica
Look, look! We all have matching ribbons!
Hatate
You all look great!
Raiko
Agreed! Those outfits are incredible.
Raiko
So this is what an idol group looks like, huh? I kinda like it.
Raiko
In fact... this gives me an idea!
Lyrica
What is it?!
Raiko
I gotta warn you, it's a pretty awesome idea.
Merlin
C'mon, tell us. Is it something happy?
Raiko
Yep. I'm gonna be your event organizer!
Lunasa
Are you sure? That sounds like a lot of work...
Raiko
Of course I'm sure! I'm the girl for the job!
Raiko
You wanna put on an unbelievable concert to thank Hatate for those outfits, right?
Raiko
If you do, you're gonna need an event organizer to make sure everything goes smoothly!
She's right!
Lyrica
Sweet! You're the boss, Miss Event Organizer!
Raiko
This is gonna be the best concert ever! For my first task as event organizer, I'm gonna name your group!
Raiko
From now on, you'll be known as...
Raiko
Prismatic Girls!
[L^3] An Explosive Concert
Meanwhile, in the L^3 Universe, at the underground music club...
Reimu
Sorry to keep ya waiting, everyone!
Marisa
Are you ready to have some fun?!
Yatsuhashi
C'mon, Benben, let's give it all we got!
Benben
Sure thing. It's not every day we get to enjoy performing pure music.
Kokoro
My drones, Waka and Semimaru, look like they're having fun. Maybe I'll dance with them.
Kokoro
Hello to everyone at the Misty Lake! Looks like the livestream is working fine!
Yatsuhashi
The people who couldn't get music club tickets still turned out to support us!
Benben
It's all thanks to Kokoro's idea to broadcast the concert live!
Kokoro
Hehe.
Marisa
The livestream sure is great! Reimu, let's give 'em a show to remember!
Reimu
You read my mind! We'll show them that we can hold an awesome concert no matter what's going on in the world!
Marisa
Are you all having a good time?! The show's just getting started!
Reimu
Everyone in the crowd and everyone watching the livestream, make some noise!
Reimu
That was pretty cool. It would be nice if we'd actually planned for it to happen...
Marisa
Looks like the crowd and all the crew lost a life to concert deficiency.
Benben
Them exploding like that still surprises me every time. I can't help but feel sorry for them.
Yatsuhashi
Yeah. But it's like Marisa said, it's nice that they don't get hurt even when they lose a life.
Kokoro
They always explode without warning...
Reimu
You all right over there?
Yep, I'm OK!
In fact, thanks to the concert, I'm better than OK!
Marisa
I'm not sure whether to be impressed or worried... but at least you're not hurt.
Yatsuhashi
We better get back to playing, else the crowd will explode again.
Benben
You're right. I'll count us down. Kokoro, get the livestream back up and get ready to dance.
Kokoro
You got it!
Reimu
Seems like a medium incident is causing people to explode due to concert deficiency...
Marisa & Reimu
But all we can do is play our hearts out!
[L^3] Again and Again
A few days earlier...
Reimu
So basically, you're saying...
Reimu
Us ending up here has caused a medium incident where everyone's become obsessed with concerts.
Reimu
How come we're being treated like the bad guys?! It's not like we asked to come here!
Marisa
Everyone's obsessed with concerts in our world, so I get why we're having some influence on people here.
Marisa
But I don't get why people explode if they don't get to play live music!
People arriving from other worlds causes incidents...
But I've never seen one like this before!
(I love music, though, so I couldn't be happier!)
Reimu
Sorry for getting upset. I just... can't believe we're in a parallel world.
Marisa
Me neither. But I shouldn't have raised my voice like that.
Don't sweat it. I'd be confused if I were in your shoes!
I'll do what I can to help you get back home!
Marisa
For real?! Thanks!
???
Hey, I wanna play some music!
Akyuu
Me too. I can't wait a minute longer!
Kosuzu
I just wanna sing already!
Reimu
They exploded...
Marisa
Yep...
Seiran & Ringo
Who cares about making dango?!
Marisa
I got a bad feeling about this...
Reimu
You and me both...
Seiran & Ringo
I wanna play music!
Marisa
That was actually kinda impressive.
Reimu
This isn't a fireworks show. There won't be anyone left at this rate...
???
You two are dressed rather strangely today.
Marisa
It's...
Reimu
This world's Youmu, Reisen, and Sakuya. You seem more relaxed than the others.
Marisa
Does that mean you aren't gonna explode?
Reisen
I love your concert outfits! Maybe I'll get one made for myself at Kourindou.
Youmu
I'd do the same, but apparently, there's a huge waiting list.
Sakuya
Hmm, I guess we'll have to make them ourselves. Which means we also have to decide where to hold our conce―
Marisa & Reimu
They exploded, too!
Marisa
But they were just talking... The situation here is worse than we thought!
Reimu
They're all on the floor, out cold. Do you think they're OK?
Marisa
I hope so. If everyone who explodes gets hurt, Eientei's gonna be full in no time.
Reimu
Looks like we were worried for nothing...
Marisa
Some of 'em even look happy. At least we know we don't have to worry about them getting hurt.
Kosuzu & Akyuu
Must play music!
Seiran & Ringo
If we don't―
Reisen, Youmu & Sakuya
We'll explode!
Marisa & Reimu
But you literally JUST exploded!
Reimu
We kinda got carried away there and started battling, but everyone seems OK now.
Marisa
Yeah, and...
Marisa
They all looked pretty relieved and left with big smiles.
Reimu
I guess a good battle was all they needed.
Exploded Folk
Need more music!
Marisa
Guess we spoke too soon.
Reimu
What the heck's going on here...?
[L^3] Cyber Surprise Concert
Around the same time, somewhere else in the L^3 Universe...
Kokoro
Where are we?!
Yatsuhashi
This is real grass and those are real trees... right?
Benben
Even on the streets above the Waste Ward, I've never seen anything like this... but I think you're right.
Kokoro
Did we just... travel to a different world?
Benben
This isn't good. We gotta find a way to get back home.
Hyped-Up Voice
M-Must play music!
Flustered Voice
L-Let us play one song!
Yatsuhashi
A world where everyone explodes is pretty dangerous. Besides, I'm worried about Alice and the others...
Benben
We need to gather intel. Hopefully, we can find a way to contact them.
Kokoro
I'll get my drones to fly out and record what they see. Maybe one of the buildings nearby will give us a clue.
Yatsuhashi
Sounds great. Thanks, Kokoro!
Kokoro
No problem!
Yatsuhashi & Benben
K-Kokoro?!
Kokoro
Why did I explode? Hime and the other drones are still working, but...
Yatsuhashi
I-I'm just glad you're all OK.
Yatsuhashi & Benben
Are we gonna explode, too?!
Yatsuhashi
Hold up. The folk that exploded before were talking about playing music, weren't they?!
Benben
Yeah, I think that's what they were screaming. Maybe performing keeps you from exploding!
Yatsuhashi
Let's give it a try! We have our own style of music and everything!
Kokoro
I just hope I don't explode again!
Benben
Has everyone got their drones ready and sound safeties on?
Yatsuhashi
We haven't performed with the safeties on in a while!
Kokoro
I'm ready, too!
Benben
All right, let's get this surprise concert started. One, two...
Kokoro, Yatsuhashi & Benben
One, two, three, four!
Yatsuhashi
It's working! None of us exploded!
Kokoro
Yay!
Benben
That's great and all, but when can we stop?
???
Look, everyone! An open-air concert!
Rumia
Oh, yeah! They have funny-looking toys, too!
Yamame
Out here, there's no limit to how many people can watch!
Wriggle
Let's go and grab the others!
Tenshi
You're cheerful today, Iku. What's with all the dancing?
Iku
I gotta do something with all my energy.
Iku
Why don't you dance with me?!
Yatsuhashi
I'm glad everyone's having fun...
Benben
...But they've got us completely surrounded.
Kokoro
I'll get my Meow-Meow Display drones―with built-in self-destruct modes―to blast a way through!
???
Wait! No more explosions!
Yatsuhashi
Whoa, it's Reimu, Marisa, and PLAYER!
Reimu
Yep. We'll explain why we're here later! For now, we'll help you deal with this crowd!
Benben
O-OK!
Marisa
That was a close one. Are you guys OK?
Kokoro
I exploded once, but I'm fine. Thanks for your help!
Reimu
You already exploded, huh?
Let's find somewhere quiet to talk!
We have to explain what kind of world this is!
Marisa
I figured there was something strange about them. They're from another world too, huh?
Reimu
We can talk about all of that someplace else. Not to mention, we need a break.
Marisa
You can say that again!
Kokoro
So this IS another world...
Yatsuhashi
And Reimu and Marisa aren't from here either. I'd love to get more intel out of them...
Yatsuhashi
What do you think, Benben?
Benben
I get why you're unsure. In our world, one misstep is enough to get you killed.
Benben
But this is PLAYER we're talking about. Even if she's not from our world, we can trust her.
Kokoro & Yatsuhashi
You got it!
Marisa
Hurry up, you guys!
Benben
Let's go.
[L^3] Another New Band!
Reimu
...It's pretty wild, but that's what's going on in this world.
Marisa
Parallel worlds, medium incidents... We won't blame you if you're confused. But you've already seen it first-hand.
Marisa
People exploding, I mean!
Kokoro
Seen it?! I've been it!
Benben
W-Well, thanks for explaining everything. I think we get it now.
Yatsuhashi
And thanks for telling us how to get home!
Reimu
It's a shame you haven't found a big red Seal Crystal yet.
Marisa
We're actually looking for one ourselves.
Yatsuhashi
Right. You guys need to get back home, too.
Benben
I'm surprised to see a building this run down, though. This world seems pretty peaceful, all things considered.
Kokoro
It's a little different to anything in our world, but maybe it's like a safehouse or something.
This is the Prismriver sisters' mansion.
They're out a lot, so I figured we could use it!
Yatsuhashi
Wait, Lyrica and the others live here?!
Kokoro
Maybe if we stick around, we'll be able to see them.
Benben
I'd love to stay and find out, but...
Marisa, Reimu & Benben
We gotta hold a concert, quick!
Kokoro
Oh, no! Am I gonna explode again?!
Yatsuhashi
U-Umm, should we just do it here?!
Benben
Good idea! There's actually something I wanna try...
Marisa
What is it?
Benben
A battle of the bands. I wanna find out if that counts as a concert by seeing if we explode or not.
Reimu
All right, let's give it a try!
Benben
Thanks. If we're gonna do this...
Benben
Let's do it in style!
Reimu
The battle of the bands stopped us exploding!
Marisa
Seems like the important thing is playing music.
Reimu
I know! How about we all form a band?!
Kokoro, Yatsuhashi & Benben
Say what?!
Reimu
Everyone in mine and Marisa's world loves music festivals. I got the idea to team up during the battle.
Reimu
Your music and dance would be awesome on stage. I'm sure of it!
Benben
R-Really?
Marisa
We basically play concerts every day. We kinda have, like, a sixth-sense about this stuff.
Marisa
Besides, if we have to play concerts either way, we might as well enjoy them, right?
Yatsuhashi
I guess you're right...
Reimu
We don't wanna force you to play with us or anything. It's just―
Marisa
You guys like music, too, right?
Kokoro & Yatsuhashi
Uh-huh!
Kokoro
I'd love to try livestreaming a concert! I'm good at that kinda stuff!
Reimu
Whoa, that sounds awesome!
Benben
Hehe, fine.
Benben
We'll form a band with you, just until we find ourselves a big red Seal Crystal!
Marisa
Sweet. Now we gotta decide on a band name!
Ooh, can I name it?!
We could use everyone's names. How about RM/BY-K?
Reimu
I like it!
Marisa
All right, RM/BY-K is officially Gensokyo's newest band!
[L2.3] The Event Organizer
Merlin
We get to play at another huge venue, huh?
Lyrica
Yep! And we even have cute new outfits to wear.
Merlin
Hehehe, I'm having fun already!
Lunasa
The acoustics seem pretty great here, too. Grab your instruments and let's start rehearsing.
Merlin & Lyrica
OK!
They didn't waste much time.
Hatate
Whoa, they're rehearsing already.
Hatate
I just hope your outfit is done by the day of the concert...
Raiko
Relax. There's nothing to fret about.
Raiko
That's something we can look forward to for the next concert. I wouldn't mind getting up on stage in an adorable new outfit.
Hatate
For real?! That's a promise, right?! Promise me!
Raiko
Haha, fine. I promise. There's no need to shout.
Hatate
Wait... I don't have time for this! I gotta get out there and promote the concert.
Raiko
That's a tough job, but I'm sure you'll do great!
Hatate
Thanks. Right, I'll see you on the big day!
Lunasa
That's all the checks done. Now, we have to decide who'll be taking the lead up on stage.
Lyrica
You're right. Based on the setlist...
Lyrica
Maybe it should be Merlin. I feel like the setup here is perfect for happy music!
Lunasa
That's exactly what I was thinking. What do you say, Merlin?
Merlin
Of course I'll take the lead! It'd be nice to play something now to test things out, though...
Lunasa
Good idea. Hit it!
Raiko
(Do they ever play music that ISN'T awesome...?)
Lunasa
Great job, Merlin.
Lyrica
Hehehe, you were awesome!
Merlin
I gave it all I had! You two were great, too!
Great performance, guys!
I just know the concert's gonna be a huge success!
Raiko
OK, everyone, break time!
Merlin
Hey, Miss Event Organizer! What did you think of our performance?
Raiko
I'd say Prismatic Girls are just about ready for their big debut.
Lyrica
Really?! ...Debuting as idols sounds kinda fun.
Merlin
If it'll make people happy, then I'm in!
Raiko
OK then, I have an idea to share with you all.
Lunasa
You do?
Raiko
Since the concert's still a little while away, I thought we could try making some merch.
Prismriver Sisters
Merch?!
Raiko
You have merch at your regular concerts, don't you? It helps bring the crowd together and hype everyone up.
Merlin
I think it's a great idea! You guys agree, right? ...Right?!
Lyrica
You really love merch, don't you, Merlin? ...Not that I don't or anything!
Lunasa
All right, let's figure out what we want to make.
[L2.3] Merch, Merch, Merch
Lunasa
So, what type of merch do you guys want? Bear in mind, we don't have THAT much time before the concert.
Merlin
How about... some glow sticks? It'd be so cute if we could put our band name on them, too!
Lyrica
Sounds good... But I'm not sure Nitori and the other kappa would be able to make them in time.
Lunasa
How about the standard stuff then? You know, T-shirts, hats...
Everything will take time to make, huh?
Raiko
Uh-huh. Not to mention we want something new that'll grab the fans' attention.
Raiko
If only there was something like that that we could make quickly and easily.
Is someone there?
Merlin
Is it fairies playing pranks? Or has someone gotten lost and wound up here?
Lunasa
Hard to say. Let's go check it out.
Mokou
Oh boy, they found me!
Raiko
That's... Mokou! Maybe she can help us out. Don't let her get away!
Mokou
Sorry for eavesdropping on you. I heard you playing music and before I knew it...
Merlin
I didn't expect to see you here, Mokou. What a nice surprise.
Lyrica
There was no need to hide like that. You should've just come out and said hello!
Mokou
I didn't want to interrupt your rehearsals.
Mokou
How come you stopped me from running away, Raiko? I figured it was to yell at me for eavesdropping, but...
Raiko
Hehehe, you're a big music fan, right? I was hoping you could help us come up with some merch ideas.
Lunasa
You're right. If anyone has any good ideas, it's gotta be Mokou.
Merlin
What type of merch do you think we should make?
Mokou
Merch, huh? How about this?
Lyrica
Is that a fan? Am I missing something or is that not merch?
Merlin
Ohhh, I get it! People get really hot at concerts dancing around and stuff, so they need something to cool off with!
Lunasa
Maybe, but that's no ordinary fan. It's got some kinda design printed on it.
Lunasa
What is that thing, Mokou?
Mokou
Hehe, let me explain...
[L^3] Exploding Eardrums
Meanwhile, in the L^3 Universe, at the underground music club...
Marisa
Whoa, this place is sweet!
Reimu
Thanks for bringing us here, PLAYER!
I'm glad you like it! It's a pretty popular venue.
There's a chance someone's already using it, though.
Benben
Maybe, but we can always just try and talk to them.
Yatsuhashi
I know. Let's use this as our headquarters! There's actually a ton of space in here!
Kokoro
Great idea!
???
Oh, are you here to perform?
Yatsuhashi
So there WAS someone here already...
Kutaka
Sorry, we're setting up at the moment. Can you come back―
Folk About to Explode
We wanna play music!
Marisa
I think we all know where this is going...
Kutaka
O-Oh, no! I better go check on them!
Reimu
Let's go after her! We don't want her to explode before we convince her to let us play here!
Marisa
Or WHILE we're convincing her! We better hurry!
Reimu
We made it in time. But what are we gonna do about their concert deficiency?
Kutaka
I wanna play music, too!
Marisa
Not you too, Kutaka!
Yatsuhashi
How about a battle of the bands? Just like the one we had before!
Reimu
Nice idea! And if we win, we get to hold a concert here!
Kokoro
What happened to "convincing" her...?
Benben
Forget about that for now.
Reimu
Get ready for RM/BY-K's first-ever live performance!
Marisa
The only thing exploding will be your eardrums!
Aunn
Y-You saved us! Thank you, everyone!
Reisen
Urgh, I was about to smash into space debris... I mean, explode!
Yatsuhashi
We're just glad we could help!
Reimu
That settles it. We'll be performing here next!
Kutaka
What are you talking about?
Kutaka
So you want to put on a concert here...
Kokoro
Maybe we should've talked to you first, huh?
Kutaka
Nope. You're more than welcome to play here!
Aunn
Your performance just now was really something!
Reisen
Let us be part of your crew! That way, we'll get to watch your concert.
Aunn, Reisen & Kutaka
Which means we won't explode... probably!
Benben
Th-Thanks, guys.
???
The crew's getting bigger, I see!
Mokou
Let's give it our all, my fellow concert-lover!
Mokou, I didn't see you there!
Us concert-lovers always give 110%!
Marisa
...When did she show up?
Reimu
Beats me. But her and PLAYER seem excited to see each other. A little too excited if you ask me...
[L^3] Sold-Out Show
Backstage on the day of the concert...
Marisa
It's a sold-out show! We gotta remember to thank Kutaka and the others for their help promoting it!
Kokoro
There are big crowds at the livestream locations, too!
Benben
So many people have turned out to watch us play!
Yatsuhashi
I just hope none of them explode.
Reimu
If they get hyped up enough for the show, surely they won't, right?
Reimu
And even if they do, it's better to explode while you're having fun!
Marisa
For now, let's just make the most of our first live concert!
Kokoro
You're right! The livestream's going out, and the stage is set!
Kutaka
It's almost time, guys!
Reisen
Us crew members are looking forward to the show, too!
Aunn
Give it your all!
Mokou
PLAYER, are you ready?
I was born ready!
Mokou
Nice. I stayed up all night making mine!
Mokou
Check out my concert fan!
Marisa
...Focus, everyone.
Reimu
RM/BY-K's first concert is about to begin!
Reimu
Good to see you, everyone!
Marisa
Who's ready for some music?!
Marisa
Are you all having a good time?! The show's just getting started!
Reimu
Everyone in the crowd and everyone watching the livestream, make some noise!
Marisa
Looks like the crowd and all the crew lost a life to concert deficiency.
???
It certainly seems that way.
Mokou
It would've been nice for them to just be able to enjoy the music.
Good to see you didn't explode with them, Mokou!
Mokou
Me, explode?! Not a chance! After all...
Mokou
I'm a huge music fan!
Kokoro
Does that not make sense to anyone else, or is it just me?
Yatsuhashi
We better get back to playing, else the crowd will explode again!
Benben
You're right. I'll count us down.
Reimu
A bunch of people exploded...
Marisa & Reimu
But all we can do is play our hearts out!
Reimu
Great job, everyone! Playing concerts in a parallel world is kinda awesome.
Marisa
I like my concerts with a few less explosions... but it was still fun.
Benben
I wish there was a way we could fix whatever's going on here...
Yatsuhashi
It's kinda hard to stay focused with the crowd exploding like that, huh?
Kokoro
I'm glad none of them got hurt, but it sure does make me jump...
Benben
Since we're no closer to finding a big red Seal Crystal, what do you say we sort out this medium incident?
Marisa
And how are we supposed to do that?
Benben
Well...
Benben
If we can find a way to stop people exploding, maybe everything will go back to normal.
Reimu
At first, I thought just stopping ourselves from exploding was enough, but I was wrong...
Marisa
I wanna blast away everyone's concert deficiency. At least while they're watching us on up stage!
Kokoro
Next mission: eliminate concert deficiency!
[L^3] Concert-Lovers
Kokoro
Thanks for coming, everyone!
Yatsuhashi
Whether you're here in person or watching via the livestream, we hope you have fun!
Another day, another awesome RM/BY-K concert!
Mokou
It doesn't get better than this! Things are heating up, especially with all the explosions!
RM/BY-K
One, two... One, two, three, four!
Marisa
(Sweet. Looks like everyone's getting hyped up.)
RM/BY-K
(Now's our chance!)
Benben
First, we need to light up the stage in all different colors with our drones!
Yuugi
Whoa, look at those things flying around! They're cooler than any kappa invention I've ever seen.
Parsee
They look like small Hell ravens, but I'm so jealous of how bright they are!
Yuugi
Hahaha, is there anything you're NOT jealous of?!
Yuugi
My eyes hurt a little with all the flashing... They kinda remind me of cherry crystals, but even more beautiful!
Reimu
Benben and the others are doing a great job!
Marisa
Then it's our time to shine!
Marisa
Hey, everyone! Let's take things up a notch!
Reimu
Concerts are all about coming together!
Marisa & Reimu
So whaddya say we all sing together?!
Eiki
I'm only here because I heard Kutaka was helping out...
Komachi
Do you not like singing, Lady Eiki?
Eiki
Only when it's at the top of my lungs. It helps me destress!
Komachi
Th-That's great! (She's way more into this than I expected!)
Lily White
I'll sing!
Lily White
I want to be part of the performance, too!
Kokoro
Everyone's charging toward the stage!
Yatsuhashi
Some of the ones at the back are starting to explode!
Benben
Forget about the stragglers. If people start exploding up on stage...
RM/BY-K
We'll get blasted away!
Marisa
Today's concert is more intense than yesterday's, but somehow, it's going worse!
Reimu
So we can't hype the crowd up too much or get them to sing with us?!
???
That's exactly right!
Momoyo
When the crowd gets this excited, we start wanting to perform.
Marisa
Under normal circumstances, I'd understand, but can't you see we're trying our best up here?!
Momoyo
We can see, we just don't care. If you don't let us perform right now...
Momoyo
We'll blow you to smithereens!
Marisa
I don't wanna be smithereens!
Marisa
The crowd got a little too hyped up...
Reimu
So did you toward the end.
Marisa
Did I?
Reimu
Guess we gotta think of something else to try at tomorrow's concert...
[L2.3] Making Merch
Mokou
This is a concert fan.
Lyrica
As in, a fan for concerts? Weird name...
Merlin
Oh, I get it! It's like a special fan for music fans. It's a fan fan!
Mokou
Haha, I guess you could call it that. In any case, they're a must for concert goers.
Merlin
I love it! And I'm sure everyone who comes to our concert will too!
Lunasa
I never knew there was merch like this out there. It's certainly unique.
Mokou
Hehe, I know, right?
Mokou
I found out about them when I was reading one of Mamizou's outside world magazines.
Raiko
Now that I think about it, I'm sure people were waving similar fans at my old drummer's concerts. It all makes sense now!
Mokou
I actually made this one myself. Not bad, right?
It's amazing!
Lyrica
Totally! It looks super legit!
Lunasa
They look kinda tricky to make, though...
Mokou
Nah, it's easy. And don't worry, I'll help you out if you're having trouble.
Prismriver Sisters ＆ Raiko
Let's make concert fans!
Merlin
Sounds like we're all on the same page!
Raiko
Yep. Concert fans sound good to me. Lunasa?
Lunasa
I agree. We can hand them out to people on the day of the concert.
Lyrica
And if we work together, we should have time to make enough!
Raiko
Thanks for the great idea, Mokou. Are you really gonna help us make them?
Mokou
Yeah, why not?
Mokou
I'll go and grab the materials we need and ask to borrow some equipment from the school.
Lyrica
Thanks, Mokou! Let's give it our all, everyone!
Mokou
OK, that's all the paper cut out.
Merlin
Pass it here. I've got the glue.
Lunasa
We just finished the art. Hehe, Lyrica, yours are really cute.
Lyrica
Thanks! I figured people would like this kinda stuff.
Prismriver Sisters
F-Finished!
Merlin
We all worked together and made the happiest merch ever!
Raiko
Now we've got everything ready for the concert!
[L2.3] Concert With a Twist
Hatate
Whoa, these fans are pretty cute.
Hatate
At this rate, I'll be able to write the best article ever!
Raiko
OK, everything's on track. There's not much left that could go wrong. Which means...
Raiko
I better get myself ready!
Lyrica
Are you two ready?
Merlin
Yep, I just got finished tuning.
Lunasa
All right then, let's get started.
Prismatic Girls
We're Prismatic Girls! Enjoy the show!
Merlin
You guys are an awesome crowd! Now, for our next song...
Raiko
Is everyone having a good time?!
Lyrica
Wait, is she supposed to be on the mic right now?
Lunasa
It wasn't in the schedule. Raiko, what's going on?
???
Hold up!
Merlin
Eep! What now?!
Raiko
Hehe, sorry, girls. I prepared a little surprise to take this concert to the next level.
What kinda surprise?
Raiko
One that's bound to up the tempo!
Raiko
Get ready for a battle of the bands!
Lyrica
...For real?!
Prismatic Girls
Sounds like fun!
Raiko
Right? It was a lot of effort to organize, but I know it's gonna be great!
Kokoro
We're the Masked Dancer Rebellion, and you're going down!
Yatsuhashi
There's no way you'll be able to match our singing and dancing combo!
Benben
Let's do this, guys!
Mai & Satono
Get ready for the performance of a lifetime!
Raiko
Your first opponents have entered the ring, and let me tell you, they've been giving it their all to prepare for today!
Raiko
This is gonna be a concert like no other, so make the most of it!
Raiko
The rules of the battle are simple. Whoever's performance is the most exhilarating wins!
Raiko
Let's find out which band is best!
Raiko
And to everyone in the crowd, be sure to use the concert fans you received at the entrance to show your support!
Raiko
So, are you guys ready?
Lyrica
We were born ready! One, two...
Prismatic Girls
One, two, three, four!
Raiko
Let's go straight into the next round! Can you guys keep this up?
Merlin
You bet we can! We'll beat every band in Gensokyo if we have to!
[L^3] Disgruntled Residents
RM/BY-K had played their first concerts.
The crowds had fun but got carried away. Nevertheless, they exploded from concert deficiency.
Once again today, the crowd and crew alike were exploding...
Reimu
I thought getting people hyped up would stop them exploding, but it's just making things worse.
Yatsuhashi
Hmm, maybe each explosion gets people excited, making them explode, too.
Benben
I dunno about that...
Marisa
Why don't we try getting the crowd EVEN MORE excited?
Kokoro
What, you wanna make their explosions even bigger?!
Marisa
No, nothing like that.
Marisa
If the crowd explodes when they hit a certain level of excitement, we just have to take them beyond that level!
Marisa
If we blast past the explosion level, we should be able to cure their concert deficiency.
Yatsuhashi
Sounds like a good idea to me!
Reimu
Let's give it a try at today's concert!
RM/BY-K
It's not working!
Marisa
Turns out the more excited the crowd are, the bigger the explosions!
Kokoro
Same goes for everyone watching the livestream!
Benben
They all seemed like they were having fun...
Yatsuhashi
But we're still no closer to fixing things.
Reimu
There's no point getting hung up on it now. Let's think of something else to try!
???
With all those explosions, I wouldn't mind if you spent a little time hung up on it.
Oh, I didn't know you three were at the show.
(Are they... mad at us?!)
Meiling
We weren't. The Scarlet Devil Mansion overlooks the Misty Lake.
Yatsuhashi
Does that mean you can see the livestream, too?!
Koakuma
We sure can. We can even hear it from the library.
Benben
Was it too loud? I'm sure all those explosions made quite the racket.
Patchouli
I did occasionally lose my page... But that's not why we're here.
Kokoro
Well then, why are you―
Patchouli
Because for some reason, when the Misty Lake crowd exploded...
Patchouli
So did the Scarlet Devil Mansion!
Marisa
Yikes. That sounds pretty rough.
Marisa
But if you think of the explosions like fireworks, it could be kinda fun.
Meiling, Koakuma & Patchouli
No it couldn't!
Reimu
Hm, fair enough. In that case...
Reimu
We'll play you a song to make it up to you! A bullet-themed song, of course!
Yatsuhashi
I can't help but feel sorry for them.
Benben
Yeah. We can't forget everyone who lives near the livestream venues.
Kokoro
I'll get my drones to deliver them some apology sweets...
[L^3] Another Surprise Concert?
Benben
I went to check the other livestream venues... and they're all blown to pieces.
Yatsuhashi
If only we could find someone exploding for a non-concert-related reason, that might give us a clue...
Reimu
I didn't know we were broadcasting to Sai no Kawara. I can't imagine many people came to watch here.
???
Look, it's RM/BY-K!
Eika
Wow, you're right! I never thought I'd see them here!
Urumi
You don't think they're about to hold a surprise concert, do you?
Narumi
I've only seen them on the livestream. Boy, am I glad I came to hang out here today.
Narumi
Wait, what am I thinking?! Marisa, can I have an autograph?!
Marisa
C-Calm down, Naruko! We're not here to put on a concert―
Kokoro
...Try telling them that!
Urumi, Eika & Narumi
We knew it! A surprise concert!
Marisa
Stop charging at us! Go explode somewhere else!
Everyone REALLY wants to see a concert, huh?!
(Yay! Now they'll have to play some music!)
Reimu
Who cares what they want?! We gotta get them under control, quick!
Benben
And I'd say the fastest way to do that is to hold a surprise concert!
Yatsuhashi
Get those drones in the air. We need lights!
Kokoro
Semimaru, GO, GO, GO!
Marisa
I can't believe those guys...
Reimu
We can't let 'em steal the show, Marisa!
Marisa
Yeah, I guess you're right!
Kokoro
Time to sing and dance!
Reimu
Phew... We made it... the music club. Why did... that livestream venue, again?
Marisa
I thought... a clue.
Yatsuhashi
Let's... a new plan!
Kokoro
*enthusiastic nodding*
Marisa, Reimu & Yatsuhashi
I can't hear anything over the explosions!
Benben
Kokoro's fine. She can communicate with her display screen.
Kokoro
...
Reimu
You know, I just realized something. Throughout this whole medium incident...
Reimu
PLAYER hasn't exploded once.
[L^3] An Unusual Protective Amulet
Marisa
You're right. I haven't seen PLAYER explode either.
Yatsuhashi
Maybe she's, like, immune to concert deficiency...
Benben
Who knows? But there's something else I haven't seen her do.
Yatsuhashi
Oh, yeah? And what's that?
Benben
I haven't seen her playing music.
Kokoro
H-Have you been keeping secrets from us?!
N-No, I swear! But now you mention it...
All I've been doing is supporting the band!
Reimu
You don't have a protective amulet or something in your pocket, do you?
Not that I know of...
Although, I suppose there's this.
Benben
It looks like Mokou's concert fan.
Marisa
Those fans are classic concert merch.
Kokoro
They are?!
Yatsuhashi
Do they have some kinda protective powers?
Reimu
PLAYER, will you tell us everything you know about that thing?
Reimu
There must be a reason you thought to show it to us.
All right. Well...
It was before the medium incident started. Before concerts became a part of daily life.
Mokou
How long we've waited for this night.
Mokou
Are you ready, my fellow concert-lover?!
I'd say so!
Mokou
That's the spirit!
Mokou
But don't get cocky!
Mokou
This is our first concert in ages. You can't just SAY you're ready.
Y-You're right. Maybe I'm NOT ready!
We still have some time! What should I do?!
Mokou
Don't sweat it. Take a look at this magazine from the outside world.
W-Wow...!
Mokou
Yep. It's all about making your own merch to take your concert-viewing experience to the next level!
Mokou
C'mon, let's get to work!
Finally... I did it, Mokou!
Mokou
You sure did. They look great!
Mokou
We gotta take 'em to every concert from now on!
Sounds good to me!
Yatsuhashi
R-Right. So in a way, it is a kind of protective amulet.
Benben
And you've been carrying it with you ever since the medium incident started.
You never know when the next concert will be!
Mokou
I've been carrying mine around, too!
Kokoro
I feel like you haven't exploded either, huh?
Benben
Are their concert fans really protecting them...?
Reimu
Well, there's only one way to find out!
Reimu
Kokoro, can you send a message out via the livestream?
Reimu
Tell everyone to make their own fans for the next concert.
Kokoro
I'll get right on it!
Mokou
Wishes really do come true sometimes, huh?
Mokou
I asked to see a whole bunch of concerts, and look what happened! That blue Seal Crystal rocks!
Marisa
Blue... Seal... Crystal...
Marisa
Hold up.
Marisa
Is that what brought us to this world?
Reimu
Well, we were near a red Seal Crystal when it happened.
Everyone
...
Everyone
So this is YOUR fault!
[L2.3] The Next Challengers
Prismatic Girls' performance was incredible!
Masked Dancer Rebellion were great, too!
Raiko
Let's have a big round of applause for our bands!
Lunasa
You guys were amazing. Thanks for taking part.
Satono
We're just glad you let us get on stage! I had a blast dancing up there.
Mai
To be honest, we couldn't help but dance to the beat you guys played!
Kokoro
Hrmm... I hate to lose, but that was a lot of fun!
Yatsuhashi
This is why we look up to you! That was an awesome battle of the bands!
Merlin
I know, why don't we all form a band together?!
Benben
A band with eight members? That's kinda a lot.
Lyrica
Yeah, but that could be a good thing.
Raiko
Your next challengers are...
Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME
Us, Choujuu Gigaku feat. KissME!
BOUZU
And us, BOUZU!
Merlin
Wow, so you guys are here, too, huh?! Let's put on a great show!
Lunasa
It's time to put my guitar skills to the test.
Raiko
Things are really starting to heat up, huh? This is what music's all about!
Lyrica
Let's do this!
Raiko
Give the crowd a performance they won't forget! Here comes round two of the battle of the bands!
Mokou
That was some intense music!
Mystia
Prismatic Girls aren't easy to beat, huh?!
Kyouko
They play loud but with such finesse!
Mystia
We'll get you in the next battle of the bands!
Lyrica
Your singing was mesmerizing. Maybe we'll make a surprise appearance at your next show!
Kisume
W-Wow, those outfits are so cute! You all look fantastic!
Merlin
Hehehe, you don't look so bad yourself!
Joon
An idol group... Merch... There's money to be made here!
Byakuren
What was that, Joon?
Joon
*gulp* Uhh, nothing...
Lunasa
Those two are getting on as well as ever, I see.
Raiko
The vocals, the drum beats, the guitar solos! This is the greatest concert Gensokyo's ever seen!
Raiko
Our next band will be our last! But who could possibly think they can topple Prismatic Girls?!
Raiko
We're about to find out, 'cause here they come!
[L2.3] The Final Battle
Wait, I recognize this song! It's...
Prismatic Girls
The Tsukumo sisters!
Hatate
I never expected Two Girls Band to show up. Come to think of it, it was Aya who gave them that name...
Hatate
Meh, I suppose it suits them well enough.
Mokou
Wow, their music is as soothing as ever.
Hatate
Wh-When did you get here?
Hatate
Sounds like you're quite the music fan.
Mokou
That's putting it lightly. No one loves music more than me.
Mokou
The appeal of Two Girls Band is their elegance. That includes their melodies AND the way they move around on stage.
Mokou
They're just like... angels!
Hatate
I reckon it might be worth interviewing you as well.
Yatsuhashi
What's this? Sounds like someone's a fan of ours!
Benben
Let's soothe the crowd with our music.
Merlin
Hrmm! Don't worry, we've still got our secret weapon!
Benben
And what would that be?
Lyrica
It's obvious...
Prismatic Girls
Our cuteness!
Raiko
This is our final battle! Get ready, 'cause here we... GO!
Fans
Whooooa! They were both AMAZING!
Raiko
Looks like the crowd had fun!
Benben
Thanks for a great battle.
Benben
Let's hear it for the newly formed Prismatic Girls and their incredible performance!
Raiko
You heard her, folks! Give 'em a big round of applause!
Merlin
Don't worry everyone. We're not done yet!
Merlin
The real concert's about to begin, so lemme hear you make some noise!
Lyrica
Each of us is gonna give you a solo performance.
Merlin
Yep. We've all been working super hard to prepare!
Lunasa
We each wrote a brand new song just for this. Here goes...
Lunasa
That was "A Symphony For My Sisters in A-Minor".
Lyrica
"Dog Meat Maid Groove"!
Merlin
And "What a Happy World"! Thanks for listening to all three!
They had super different vibes...
But all three songs were great!
I can't get enough of Prismatic Girls!
Prismatic Girls
Thanks for coming today, everyone!
Fans
Encore! Encore!
Lyrica
What do you wanna do? That's the end of the show, but it sounds like they REALLY want an encore.
Lunasa
You already know the answer to that. We're gonna play 'em another song.
Merlin
Yay! You gotta answer happiness with happiness!
Lyrica
OK, everyone, we'll play one last song―
???
Hold up!
[L2.3] Prismatic Encore
Merlin
What are you all doing up here?! I thought the battle of the bands was over...
Lunasa
And, Raiko, what are you wearing?!
Raiko
Hehehe, I decided to change for the final song! C'mon, let's get this encore started!
Merlin
You organized the concert, a super fun battle of the bands, AND a happy final surprise!
Merlin
Is everyone ready?! Let us hear you singing along!
Prismatic Girls
This really is the last song, so don't hold back!
Thanks for the best concert ever!
Hatate
Thanks for yesterday's concert, everyone!
Lunasa
It was our pleasure. We had a blast.
Merlin
How's the article coming along? Will your new magazine be out soon?
Hatate
You bet! I'll make sure to deliver you guys a copy right away!
Lyrica
We can't wait!
Hatate
Raiko, PLAYER, I'll get you each a copy too.
Hatate
And you, of course, Mokou. You've been a huge help.
Mokou
Don't worry, I'll wait till it's out in stores. It'll be more fun that way.
Mokou
Psst... I forgot to mention, but can you just put my initials? Having my name in there would be kinda embarrassing.
Hatate
...Gotcha.
Good luck, Hatate!
I can't wait to see what you write!
Raiko
Putting on concerts is pretty fun. If you decide to perform as Prismatic Girls again, I'd love to help out.
Raiko
I'll do all I can as your very own event organizer!
Merlin
Sounds good to me. I loved being an idol! What do you think, Lunasa?
Lunasa
Sure... When the time's right.
Merlin
Oh, don't be like that! Prismatic Girls' next concert will be...
Raiko
Where's my pen? I better write this down.
Lunasa
H-Hold up! You can't decide the date all alone!
Lunasa
I can't believe you sometimes...!
Lyrica
Hey... what's that?
Merlin
It looks like... a Seal Crystal. And a big one at that.
Lyrica
You're right. I've never seen one that big.
Lunasa
Hang on you two! It might not be safe...
Prismriver Sisters
...Huh?
Prismriver Sisters
Ahhhh!
[L^3] An Un-Explosive Concert
Meanwhile, in the L^3 Universe, backstage at the music club...
Yatsuhashi
Not long till the concert starts. I hope everyone made their own fans.
Kokoro
The livestream's up. I'm glad we could use it to send out Reimu's message.
Mokou
Don't worry about us...
Aunn, Reisen & Kutaka
We brought our concert fans!
Looks like all the crew is ready!
Benben
Thanks. That's you and the crowd set to go.
Marisa
All right! Let's hope these concert fans work―
Reimu
And enjoy this concert to the max!
Marisa
Thanks for bringing your concert fans, everyone! Lemme see you waving them!
Reimu
We good to go?! Let's kick this concert off in style! One, two...
RM/BY-K
One, two, three, four!
Yatsuhashi
The crowd's pumped up...
Kokoro
But no one's suffering from concert deficiency!
Benben
We can't let up now, though. Let's keep an eye on the crowd here and everyone watching the livestream.
Kokoro & Yatsuhashi
You got it!
Marisa
That's three songs we've played and not a single explosion!
Reimu
And it looks like everybody's having a great time! Let's keep this up!
[L^3] In Perfect Sync
Marisa
Are you still with us, everyone?!
The crowd's going crazy! Plus...
They're all using their concert fans!
???
You're right!
Aunn
We're here, too.
Reisen
And we're loving the concert! Especially because...
Aunn, Reisen & Kutaka
We're not exploding!
Reisen
These fans were fun to make, and using them to show our support is great, too!
Mokou
Oh, yeah? It's awesome how many more people are falling in love with music!
Kutaka
I still can't believe these fans protect against concert deficiency!
Mokou
Concert deficiency is basically just people's desire to enjoy live music building up till it explodes. Literally.
Mokou
So you gotta keep that desire at bay by going to concerts and letting yourself loose.
Mokou
Everyone made their own concert fans with their own unique passion for music.
Mokou
So bringing them to concerts allows them―and the performers―to keep themselves from exploding.
Mokou
Essentially eliminating their concert deficiency!
It all makes sense now!
Mokou
At least, that's what Keine said!
It makes even more sense now!
Reisen
W-Well, uhh, how about we just get back to enjoying the concert?!
Kutaka
Yeah, it's only just started. Let's keep supporting the band and helping out as their crew!
Aunn
I can't wait for the next song!
Mokou
The band and the crowd are in perfect sync. Everyone's love of music is on full display...
Mokou
This is awesome!
Aunn, Reisen & Kutaka
*gasp*
Benben
Did anyone hear that? It sounded like an explosion...
Yatsuhashi
For real? I was so focused on the music I must've missed it.
Benben
Well, it doesn't look like anyone here actually exploded...
Kokoro
Same goes for the livestream venues. Maybe you're imagining things!
Marisa
Who cares if one person explodes, anyway?!
Marisa
To be honest, I dunno if these concert fans are helping...
Marisa
Maybe they just get people so hyped for the concert that they forget all about concert deficiency!
Reimu
So you're saying it's all in their heads!
Reimu
All I know is that those fans allow us to fully sync up with the crowd.
Reimu
So let's give it our all to make this an epic performance!
Benben
You're right. Concert's are about having fun...
Kokoro, Yatsuhashi & Benben
Having fun all together!
Reimu
Sounds to me like―
Marisa & Reimu
It's time to play some music!
[L^3] The Show Goes On
Marisa
The concerts are coming to a close...
Yatsuhashi
What do you mean, Marisa? Won't there be one tomorrow?
Marisa
I guess.
Marisa
I haven't had this much fun at a concert in ages.
Marisa
And it showed me that music can be incredible in parallel worlds, too. It's just...
Kokoro
I know what you mean, Marisa.
Kokoro
I had fun, too.
Benben
But RM/BY-K was never meant to go on forever. We were just playing together till we found a way home...
Yatsuhashi
Right... I guess this is it then, huh?
(The music's stopped... What's going on?)
(Maybe they're having equipment issues...)
Mokou
A concert is nothing with just a band.
Mokou
As a fellow-concert lover, I'm sure you know what I mean.
Of course I do!
You can't have a concert without a crowd!
Mokou
Exactly. A concert really starts to take off when everyone on stage syncs up with everyone watching in the crowd.
Mokou
So... you know what we have to do, right?
Reimu
Y-You guys, the concert's not over yet! Save the soppy speeches for after the show―
Music-Loving Girl
Play more music!
Music-Loving Mokou
Don't stop now!
Marisa
Did you hear that?!
Marisa
What was I thinking? It's too early to split up the band.
Marisa
Right now, we have something more important to do―
Marisa
We gotta play our hearts out!
Reimu
Sounds like you're back to normal. Let's take this concert to the next level!
Kokoro
We gotta live in the moment and have some fun!
Benben
For everyone who came out to see us!
Yatsuhashi
And for ourselves!
Reimu
Sorry for the delay, folks!
Marisa
Don't worry, there's plenty more fun to be had!
Marisa
The concert's only gonna get better from here!
Marisa & Reimu
And to all you livestream viewers, don't think we've forgotten about you!
Yatsuhashi
Did something just break?
Kokoro
It could've been one of the lights.
Benben
I'll get my drones to check it out.
Reimu
The stage and everyone in the crowd look fine to me.
Marisa
And me. Which means...
RM/BY-K
It's time for some more music!
[L?] After the Beat Stops
Hm? She's not here again...
Miss Yukaaaari! Where are you?
Yukari
You called?
Yukari
What did you think of my entrance. Pretty cool, right?
V-Very cool! (I've had enough explosions for a lifetime!)
I'd love to see you come out like an idol next time.
Yukari
Oh, yeah? Maybe I'll give it a try!
Yukari
This interworld festival has been rather loud, huh?
Yukari
And I don't just mean the music.
Yukari
Or just the explosions, for that matter.
Yukari
Different worlds are full of different sounds. Two worlds may look the same, but don't be fooled.
Yukari
For example, the same village in two parallel worlds can produce entirely different sounds.
Yukari
Some sounds are made by nature, like the wind and rain, while others are made by people and machines.
Yukari
Don't forget, sound is made of waves. But there are more than just sound waves out there.
Yukari
Even if we can't hear them, magnetic waves and light waves are constantly affecting us.
Yukari
I'd bet everyone who traveled between worlds this time around experienced that for themselves.
Yukari
That reminds me...
Yukari
In the world that gets many visitors from other worlds, where do you think the big Seal Crystal was?
Yukari
I'll give you a clue... Sound.
Sound... Wait, it can't be?!
Yatsuhashi
Did something just break?
Kokoro
It could've been one of the lights.
Benben
I'll get my drones to check it out.
Yukari
That's right. It wasn't a light that broke.
Yukari
It was a big blue Seal Crystal.
Yukari
And it broke because someone made a wish.
Yukari
But who was it? And what did they wish for?
Marisa
The concert's only gonna get better from here!
Marisa & Reimu
And to all you livestream viewers, don't think we've forgotten about you!
[L^3] A Parallel World Concert?!
Merlin
(Huh? We were just talking about the concert and Hatate's magazine...)
Lunasa
(Then Lyrica found an unusually large red Seal Crystal...)
Lyrica
(I forget what happened next, though...)
Prismriver Sisters
Where are we?!
Marisa & Reimu
People appeared on stage!
Reimu
Wait, you're the Prismriver sisters, right?!
Benben
You don't think... they came from a parallel world, do you?
Kokoro
Wherever they came from, they sure made me jump.
Yatsuhashi
The crowd's getting out of control. We gotta do something!
Marisa
For now, there's only one thing we can do...
Marisa
Pretend this was all planned!
Kokoro, Yatsuhashi & Benben
Welp!
Merlin
Wh-What do we do?!
Lyrica
I don't recognize this place... but it looks like some kinda music venue.
Reimu
You three, get over here! Don't worry, we'll explain everything later!
Lunasa
Oh, uhh... OK!
Yatsuhashi
Phew. We did it.
Benben
I was pretty worried when I heard Marisa's plan, but...
Marisa
Sorry for the confusion, everyone! Our special guests seem to have appeared a little earlier than planned.
Reimu
We were as surprised as you, but since they're here, whaddya say we make the most of it?!
Kokoro, Yatsuhashi & Benben
Introducing Gensokyo's hottest new idol group...
RM/BY-K
Prismatic Girls!
Prismatic Girls
Hel...
Prismatic Girls
Hello, everyone!
Marisa
Nice one, ladies!
Lyrica
Thanks for covering for us! We didn't mean to crash your concert like that.
Merlin
I still can't believe we're in a parallel world. We'd have been helpless without you guys.
Lunasa
...So we need a big red Seal Crystal to get home, huh?
Yep. We haven't found one yet, though!
When we do, everyone should be able to go home!
Yatsuhashi
What's the problem?
Lyrica
Nothing. It's just... I think we might've seen a big red Seal Crystal back in our world.
RM/BY-K
What?!
Merlin
We can't be sure, but it was definitely bigger than a regular crystal, and I feel like it was red.
Lyrica
It felt like we got sucked into it, and the next thing we knew, we were here.
Lunasa
I think its power is what brought us here...
Reimu
Which means...
RM/BY-K
...
RM/BY-K
Even if we find another one, we might not be able to go home!
[L^3] New Connections
Reimu
So there's a chance the big red Seal Crystals don't take you where you want them to.
Marisa
We can't be sure... but maybe we should look for another way to get home.
Benben
You're right. Let's get our drones to go out and gather intel.
Kokoro & Yatsuhashi
You got it!
Lyrica
What if we can't find a way home...?
Merlin
It won't come to that. It's too unhappy!
Lunasa
For now, we should join forces with the others.
???
Great show, guys!
Aunn
That special guest reveal was awesome!
Reisen
It even came as a surprise to us crew members!
Kutaka
Let us get in on it next time! We'd love to help!
Yatsuhashi
Hahaha, thanks...
???
It wasn't just the crowd that went crazy. Apparently, all the folks watching the livestream did, too!
Hey, fellow concert-lover!
Kokoro
She's right. Everyone at the livestream venues still can't get over the surprise.
Reimu
This isn't the time to be second guessing ourselves.
Marisa
Agreed. There's only one thing for it...
Marisa & Reimu
Another concert!
Reimu
We can keep enjoying music with everyone till we find a way home. Think of it like a parallel-world world tour!
Merlin
If you ask me, it sounds kinda, I dunno...
Prismriver Sisters
Totally and utterly epic!
Yatsuhashi
They only just got to this world, and they're already going on tour?!
Benben
That's the Prismriver sisters for you. Turns out, they're the same no matter what world they're from.
Kokoro
All right, sign us up for this parallel-world world tour!
Marisa
See you at tomorrow's concert, guys!
Merlin
Yep! We can't wait!
Marisa
Thanks for coming, everyone!
Reimu
From today, the Prismatic Girls will be joining us on tour!
Prismatic Girls
We hope you like our sound!
Aunn, Reisen & Kutaka
Great job, guys!
Mokou
That was another unbelievable concert! I can't wait for the next one tomorrow!
Lyrica
I actually had a ton of fun!
Merlin
Playing with people from other worlds is great! I forgot all about finding a way home for a minute there!
Lunasa
I can't believe you two sometimes...
Lunasa
But I suppose we don't get these kinda opportunities every day. We should make the most of it.
Lyrica
Hm? What's this?
Merlin
It's Kokoro's. I thought it was a little robot cat, but...
Kokoro
Hey, get back here.
Kokoro
Sorry about Semimaru. She can be a little too friendly sometimes. She self-destructs sometimes, too.
Lunasa
Don't mention it.
Prismriver Sisters
Wait, is this your pet?!
Prismriver Sisters
And did you say self-destruct?!
Yatsuhashi
Kokoro, you're scaring everyone.
Benben
It seems like it's pretty rare for people in other worlds to have their own drones.
Kokoro
Oh, I see...
Yatsuhashi
Do you guys livestream your concerts like we do?
Prismriver Sisters
Live... stream?
Merlin
Wow! So in your world, people can enjoy live music that way, too!
Benben
Hehe, pretty cool, right?
Lyrica
When your world's version of us play concerts, are we like...
Lyrica
"Hellooo! It's me, Lyrica!"
Lyrica
Or something?
Yatsuhashi
Yeah, kinda!
Merlin
Let me try, let me try!
Merlin
"I'm Merlin and we're live!"
Benben
That's exactly what you sound like!
Everyone
*turns to Lunasa*
Lunasa
O-Oh, uhh...
Lunasa
"It's me, Lunasa Prismriver. Enjoy the show."
Lunasa
...
Lunasa
"A-And I'm Lunasa!"
Kokoro
You're just as adorable as our world's Lunasa when she gets embarrassed!
Lunasa
R-Really? I suppose that's a good thing...
Lunasa
Anyway...
Lunasa
Music comes in different forms in different worlds, but everyone enjoys it all the same.
Lunasa
It's nice to know that.
Merlin
Yep, it's super happy news!
[L^3] Interworld Collab
Parallel world collab concerts between RM/BY-K and Prismatic Girls continued to be held every day...
Prismatic Girls
Are you enjoying today's concert, everyone?
The crowd's going wild!
And the bands look like they're having so much fun!
Merlin
Hey, Lunasa, check out those fans! Are they...?
Lunasa
I never thought I'd see concert fans in this world, too.
Lyrica
Maybe they have them in every world...
Kokoro
I just had a great idea!
Kokoro
Since there are so many of us, why don't we have a battle of the bands?!
Reimu
That IS a great idea! Let's do it!
Marisa
We should split up into our original groups. The numbers work out just right!
Yatsuhashi
All right, let's give it all we got!
Benben
You said it!
Lunasa
Concert fans, a battle of the bands... Parallel worlds have more in common than I thought.
Merlin
It's amazing how even though we're all from different worlds, music brings us all together!
Lyrica
How about we use this battle of the bands to bring everyone EVEN CLOSER together? Say, within bullet range...
Prismatic Girls
One, two... One, two, three, four!
Marisa
Is everyone in the crowd having a good time?!
Reimu
There's plenty more music to come, so don't let up now!
[L^3] Mokou's Secret Weapon
Merlin
I'm glad the crowd's having a good time, but...!
Reimu
Things are starting to get outta control!
Kutaka
G-Guys, bad news!
Reisen
The livestream viewers got super pumped up...
Kutaka & Reisen
And now they're trying to force their way into the music club!
Aunn
Don't worry, I'll keep them out!
Aunn
I couldn't keep them out!
Lyrica
Is it just me, or is the entire music club shaking?!
Kokoro
Our brave little komainu just got overrun!
Benben
We don't have long!
Yatsuhashi
Wh-What's going on now?!
Lunasa
Look at the crowd, guys!
Marisa
You gotta be kidding!
Marisa
They're tryna get up on stage!
Marisa
Wait, why is SHE in there with them?!
And look what she's wearing!
Reimu
Yeah, yeah, we'll get to her. But right now, people are dropping their concert fans and exploding!
Marisa
If we don't do something, quick, the music club's gonna collapse!
Mokou
Boy, that concert ROCKED!
Reimu
I feel like Mokou's still not calmed down...
Marisa
Wasn't she always like this?
Mokou
I sure am glad I brought this extra big concert fan with me!
Marisa & Reimu
That's a concert fan?!
Merlin
We're glad you're all having fun, but be careful not to get swept up in the moment, OK?!
Lyrica
It takes more than us and our music to make a great concert. We need your help, too!
Lunasa
So be respectful, and help us make this a concert to remember. Sound good?
Prismatic Girls
Thanks, everyone!
Yatsuhashi
Good job getting the crowd under control!
Kokoro
We'll do what we can to keep them that way.
Benben
Sounds like it's time to get the drones ready for our next song.
Mokou
Settling the restless crowd, clear communication from the bands, and more music to come...
Mokou
This concert rules!
Kokoro
Oops. I hit Uba and the other drones' self-destruct button.
Marisa
I'm not sure "oops" is the appropriate response...
Reimu
Well, at least it's nice and quiet in here now.
[L^3] The Power of Music
Benben
Well, it was a bumpy ride, but that's today's concert over.
Merlin
I'm glad the crowd had fun. I'd have preferred it with a few less explosions, though!
Reimu
Tell you the truth, I'd forgotten all about concert deficiency... It really took me by surprise when they started exploding.
Lunasa
Me too. I would've been super scared if the music hall wasn't already so loud...
Lyrica
I guess the silver lining is that the music and the crowd basically drowned out the explosions, huh?
Mokou
I definitely wasn't ready to get blown up like that!
Kokoro
Hime, Waka... GET HER!
Mokou
Who, me?!
Marisa
...Right, let's talk about tomorrow's concert.
Reimu
Today, we had a battle of the bands, so―
Yatsuhashi
Guys, come over here!
Lunasa
Sure. What's up?
Benben
Our drones are back. Let's see if they found anything.
Yatsuhashi
So between Josh, Jordan, and the others, our drones brought back eight of these strange Seal Crystals.
Yatsuhashi
I think we should try using them. Is everyone with me?
Merlin
Well, the big red ones might not get us home, and it's not like we have any other leads.
Lyrica
I say it's worth a shot! Let's do this!
Reimu
How about we wait till tomorrow?
Merlin
What's wrong with doing it now?
Lunasa
Merlin, Lyrica, think what would happen if the purple Seal Crystals actually work.
Lyrica
We'll end up back in our world or in some other world. ...Oh, no!
Merlin
We might be able to get back home, but we'll have to say goodbye to everyone here. It's happy AND unhappy.
Marisa
Spare us the soppy stuff. Let's just save the Seal Crystals for after tomorrow's show.
Marisa
It could end up being our last, so we gotta make the most of it!
Reimu
Marisa...
Marisa
What? You said something similar before, remember? "Save the soppy speeches for after the show."
Marisa
This whole world is our stage, so let's spend whatever time we have left here smiling!
Everyone
Agreed!
And so came the very last RM/BY-K and Prismatic Girls concert...
RM/BY-K
Thanks for making this an unforgettable show, everyone!
Prismatic Girls
However far apart we are, music binds us together!
Marisa & Reimu
See ya!
I...
I won't forget you all... Or your music!
Let's meet again someday!
Mokou
...They're gone.
Mokou
It's sad to see them go, but their music is still with us.
Mokou
All their performances will live on in our minds.
Mokou
Don't you agree, PLAYER?
...I sure do!
(I have so many incredible memories of them all!)
Mokou
All right, let's get outta here.
Mokou
Our days of desperately waiting for concerts are back, but I have a feeling we won't have to wait too long!
Yukari
Music transcends all manner of boundaries.
Yukari
A good melody can reach people unfathomably far away...
Yukari
And echo in the chambers of their heart. And, of course―
Yukari
That even includes you.
