~~And the day of the festival arrived…

The day that I am waiting for… The day that I will  have a chance to see and have a conversation with my niichan. I am so excited because if this happens…

I can finally know what is his true feelings about me.

Everyone was busy preparing for the performance. Actually the setting is not that grand, you wouldn’t expect that an idol will come…

And then, our the performances started…  I couldn’t see Chinen anywhere…

Maybe he will not arrive after all… Oh maybe our school just fooled us so that we became enthusiastic about this performance. Look at this stage, it is too simple.

What a fool… I easily believe them… so does that mean that I will never have a conversation with him anymore? 

Aaahhh… But still, I must do my best, I have a solo performance after my group performance. I will sing the song Time…  We made an acoustic version of it. That song has some effects on me. The lyrics just pierced my heart.

I hope I can sing it well.

Our group performance started and ended successfully. We received a lot of positive responses from the audiences. I am happy but the only thing that I want right now is to see my niichan.

Then my performance is about to start… I get on the stage and get ready. I can do this!

The lights began to dim, which signals the start of my song.

I closed my eyes and when I opened it… I saw him, walking silently at the back. I guess he didn’t want to disturb the show.

I focused my eyes on him… And began to sing…

~~ Owari na kieien wo Kanjiteta You & I

 (You and I felt the endless eternity)

 Sayonara mo betsuni Ii jan ii jan furi harau

(But wouldn’t it be just better to say goodbye? Just shake it off)

Aieru no kotoba mo Omoide no naka dake

 (I can only sink into my memories to hear the words of “I love you”)

Tokei no hari tometa Futari wa mou modoranai

 (The hands of clock have stopped, we can’t go back anymore)

 Subete Kakoni kaeta hazusa

(Everything should have been left in the past)

Dakedo Kesenu memory

(But after all I can’t erase my memory)

 Yume no naka de miru kimi wa  Ima mo kirei dakedo

(Even now as I see you in my dream, you are still beautiful)

Boku wa mou dete iku kara

(But I need to get out of it)

Karappu no mirai ni wa Te wo dasanai

(And in the future I won’t get involved anymore)

Itsu no hi ni ka guuzan Kono hiroi sora no a

(If we are to ever meet under this vast sky by chance)

 Aeru koto areba Ii jan ii jan tamerawazu

(Then wouldn’t it be okay without hesitating)

Ai wa soko ni nakutemo Egao wa sokoni atte

(Even though the love will be gone, our smiles still remain)

Tokei no hari wa mata Shizuka ni ugoki dasu yo...

(And then the hands of clock will have silently begun moving again)...

~~ I can’t control my tears… While I was singing, it was just flowing on and on.

After my song, the crowd roared. Maybe they felt my feelings.

I guess now is the right time to go to niichan..

“NIICHAN!! (my voice was so loud because of the microphone)… YURI-NIICHAN!”

All eyes turned to him… No one was speaking, it was very silent. Chinen Yuri is just standing there, surprised…

“Yuri-niichan… niichan I’m so sorry…

I… I made a mistake…

But can you now explain what really happened in the past?” --- aaahh.. my tears.. why won’t it stop?!

Everyone was focused on what will my niichan will say…

And then he came to me and said…

“Excuse me… but... Who are you???”
