Takami Chika/Gallery and Translations

## Translations

* I am from this village Uchiura, located at the corner of Suruga Bay in Shizuoka, an Uranohoshi Girls' High School, second year, Takami Chika!
* At first, the though of becoming an idol just seemed like an entirely different world, something impossible for people like us who lived in the countryside; and it was something we'd already given up on even before trying.
* But, 'if we don't give up, our dreams will come true.' That was something the school idols we adored, μ's, taught us.
* You all may laugh but, I'm really earnest about this! We want to bask in this sparkling light and become more like our beloved μ's in any way we can.
* Of course we know it's reckless to challenge perfection like that, but, there's nothing to lose☆!
* 'If we don't try anything, nothing will begin,' was something Honoka-chan said so, right now, we will bravely take our first step!

* Somehow, it felt like a sparkling stage just suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Dazzling, exciting, heart-throbbing, it felt like my heart was beating out of my chest.
* "Are these people really normal high school girls!?" I thought, I immediately became unable to tear my eyes away. Ahahahaha♪ As I thought, something like this might be love!?
* When I talked about it with my childhood friend Kanan-chan, that was what she said and it made us both burst into laughter, Ehehe♡
* But you know, after saying that, it somehow feels like that's what it is. It's definitely love, this feeling. Chika hasn't had her first love yet so she doesn't know for sure though. But, even though I don't understand, at any rate, there's a feeling that I can't just sit still. Loving it, being attracted to it, being unable to tear my eyes away from it, only watching there people forever like this, hurts.
* After watching μ's sing and dance, I couldn't just stay like this, I felt like I had to do something. But when I lived in such a rural town, of course there was nothing I could do.
* But even so. At any rate, I wanted to do something, anything.
* Something I loved. Something dazzling. A distant, distant existence I longed for, school idols. This spring, I will become the same as Honoka-chan from the μ's I aspired towards, a second year in high school. Becoming the same year, I thought I knew that there was absolutely no way I could become an awesome idol like them, But even so, I knew.
* After all I, after all I, wanted to do something. I wanted to draw closer to the μ's I longed for, no matter how little. Our first audience will be this Mt. Mikan's oranges.
* Enough "even so"s. Simply dancing like μ's is fine. For now, from today onwards, I'll try being a school idol!!

***Look, at Our Idol Appearance~!**** Uwaah, uwauwauwaaa~!!! Woah, what's this, what should we do, isn't this way too cute!? Is this really alright, even if we wear these costumes!?
* Ehehe♪ It feels like if we wear these costumes, it's almost as if we will really become just like "school idols"♡ Ahh, this is too exciting~!! I want to hurry up and show everyone!
* But, Riko-chan said that our image at the moment of our first debut is important, so it would be best if we could avoid showing anyone until the day of our first stage to the best of our capabilities. That's right, if it's what the always calm and clever Riko-chan says, Chika thinks that it's probably for the best in the end but, even so!
* Even so, in the end, I really want to show it to everyone as soon as possible~!!!
* And so, today we secretly took a commemorative photo♪ A precious one-shot of the yet-unknown Aqours before their debut~! Please treasure this, okay?♡
* Even if I say that, the only ones who would be able to appreciate the significance of this would be ourselves, ehehe♡
* But you know, when I think that we're about to take the first step towards becoming the school idols we always dreamed of, it's so exciting that my heart just pounds in my chest. Someday, we'll definitely be able to attract as many fans as there are mikan in this mikan village within these mountains!
* Everyone, please come and see us~!!
