The Golden Sunflower Music Festival - Vocaloids
💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 The applause and cheers still had not stopped. After the previous song ended, the sunflower lights on the stage remained bright, while the giant screens displayed golden petals swaying gently in the breeze. The eight performers were still catching their breath from the previous performance, but smiles remained on their faces. Rin was the first to pick up her microphone. “Everyone, do you still have the energy?” “Yes—!” The entire venue immediately erupted with a deafening response. Rin smiled with satisfaction. “Good!” Len adjusted his instrument beside her. “Because the next song is going to be really lively.” “That’s right!” Teto immediately joined in. “And I’m totally ready!” Kaito couldn’t help laughing. “You said that last time too.” “Of course! Because I’m always ready!” Meiko smiled and shook her head. “Where does she even get all that energy?” “I have no idea.” Miku answered with a smile. “But it seems like the audience really likes it.” Another wave of cheers immediately rose from the crowd. Teto proudly lifted her chin. “See?” Everyone laughed. Just then, the opening notes suddenly began. A crisp guitar melody rang through the speakers, followed by bright drumbeats. The sunflower patterns on the stage began changing with the rhythm. The flowers that had been still began blooming one after another, golden petals spreading outward from the center of the screen. Rin was the first to sing. Her voice was full of energy, instantly sending the entire venue into another wave of excitement. Len quickly joined her, their voices intertwining. The rhythm became faster and faster. Miku joined with harmonies before the chorus, her clear voice making the melody even brighter. Then Kaito and Meiko joined in. The voices of all eight performers gradually blended together. This song was not meant to create a quiet atmosphere. Instead, it was filled with the lively energy of summer. The stage lights changed with the rhythm as well. Golden, white, and soft orange lights alternated across the stage. Countless sunflower patterns appeared on the background screens, while even the decorations on both sides of the stage lit up in the shapes of flowers. When Luka reached her part, she gently raised her arm. The audience immediately followed her, waving their light sticks. The entire crowd became a vast golden wave. Seeing the scene, a smile appeared in Luka’s eyes. Gakupo noticed the audience’s reaction as well. “Can everyone make your voices even louder?” “Yes—!” Gakupo raised his microphone. “Then let’s sing together!” The next chorus began. This time, the audience joined in as well. The voices of the eight performers blended together with the singing of thousands of people. Just before the song ended, countless golden petals suddenly began falling from above the stage. Luka reached out her hand. One petal landed in her palm. She looked down at it for a moment before smiling and gently blowing it away. Gakupo noticed what she had done. Their eyes briefly met. Gakupo smiled softly as well. The opening notes of the next song were already beginning. There was hardly any time to rest. Miku stepped forward and raised her microphone. “Next is a song we prepared especially for everyone.” The audience immediately erupted into excited cheers. “There’s one little rule for this song.” Miku deliberately paused. “Please don’t just listen.” Kaito immediately continued. “You have to sing with us.” Meiko added, “And you have to sing loudly enough for us to hear you.” Rin raised her hand. “If you sing loudly enough, we’ll bring the final surprise a little earlier!” Len immediately turned toward her. “That wasn’t part of the original plan, was it?” Rin blinked innocently. “It is now.” “…” Len looked completely helpless. Teto immediately shouted, “I support it!” The entire venue burst into laughter again. The music officially began. This song had a gentler melody than the previous one. Piano and soft strings slowly unfolded. Luka’s voice came first. Her singing was gentle and clear, like a soft breeze passing through a field of flowers. Gakupo followed with the next part. His voice was calm and warm. Their voices answered each other naturally. There were no intense lighting effects and no overwhelming stage production. Only one sunflower after another slowly bloomed across the screens. Miku joined with harmonies. Meiko and Kaito added their voices as well. Rin, Len, and Teto joined during the chorus. The voices of all eight performers gradually blended together. The emotion of the song slowly grew brighter from its gentle beginning. When the final chorus arrived, everyone sang together. The audience joined in as well. This time, no one needed to remind them. The entire venue naturally became one enormous chorus. The final note faded away. Applause immediately erupted. Luka was breathing slightly faster, a satisfied smile on her face. Miku walked over to her. “Everyone sang really well.” Luka nodded. “Even better than we imagined.” “Of course!” Rin immediately came over. “Everyone was really looking forward to tonight’s concert.” Teto smiled as well. “So we can’t lose to the audience!” “That sounds a little strange.” Kaito said. Meiko laughed. “But it makes sense.” Len looked toward the center of the stage. “Are we ready for the next song?” The music team immediately responded. The next intro was already prepared. Gakupo tightened his grip on the microphone. “Then—” Luka smiled and continued, “Let’s keep going.” The drums suddenly began. All the sunflowers on the stage lit up at once. Golden flowers bloomed one after another, while enormous petals rotated across the screens. Rin and Teto cheered at the same time. Len played the first chord. Kaito and Meiko joined the rhythm. Miku sang the first line. Luka and Gakupo immediately followed. The voices of all eight performers intertwined once again. Golden light sticks swayed throughout the audience. The stage, the singing, the sunflowers, and the cheers of the crowd became one. The summer concert centered around sunflowers continued. And their next song had officially begun.
