ððððð Story ððððð A Photo Created by the Entire Venue After the first photo had been taken, everyone was about to check how it turned out when a unified shout suddenly rose from the audience. âOne more photoâ!â Una looked up in surprise and turned toward the crowd. âDo you all want to see a second one?â The response was an even louder cheer. âYesâ!â âTake another one!â âAll nine of you together!â Everyone onstage exchanged glances before breaking into smiles. Rin spoke excitedly. âIf the fans are looking forward to it that much, then of course we should take another one!â âWe only just finished the first photo,â Len said, though he was smiling too. âBut with everyone shouting so perfectly in sync, it feels impossible to say no.â Miku waved toward the audience. âThank you for wanting to help Una preserve even more memories.â âThen we have to make the second one a good photo too,â Teto said happily. âOtherwise, the fans might ask for a third one.â The moment she finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately shouted: âA third one would be fine tooâ!â Everyone burst into laughter. Trying not to laugh too much, MEIKO said: âLetâs take the second one properly first. We can discuss the third one afterward.â KAITO nodded as well. âExactly. Since everyone asked for it, we should make it a photo worth remembering.â Una gazed at the sea of glow sticks sparkling below the stage, their gentle light reflected in her blue eyes. âThank you, everyone. Then letâs take another one!â The audience immediately erupted into enthusiastic applause. Luka checked the camera again and gently reminded everyone: âMove a little closer together. This time, I want to capture the light from both the stage and the audience.â âThat sounds good,â Gakupo said. âThis wonât be only a photo of the nine of us. It will also preserve the sight of the fans celebrating Unaâs birthday with us.â Hearing that, Unaâs smile grew even brighter. âYes. I want everyone to be part of this memory too.â The group gathered around the cake table once more. This time, no one discussed what kind of pose they should make, nor did anyone deliberately arrange their expressions. They simply drew close naturally, listening to the continuous birthday wishes from the audience as they smiled toward the camera. Blue and violet light slowly poured across the stage. The giant screen behind them still displayed the brilliant words **âHAPPY BIRTHDAY UNA.â** The candles on the cake flickered softly, while countless glow sticks stretched into the distance like a river of stars. Rin looked toward the audience and called out with a smile: âEveryone, look at the camera too!â âWith an audience this large, the camera canât possibly capture every personâs face clearly,â Len reminded her. âBut it can at least capture everyoneâs light.â Miku nodded gently. âThatâs right. Just by seeing that sea of light, weâll remember how many people were there with Una.â Teto added with a smile: âAnd everyoneâs voices will stay in our memories too.â KAITO looked out toward the audience, his tone warm. âThe concert has such a wonderful atmosphere today because every person here is supporting us in their own way.â âSo the second photo is something everyone helped create together,â MEIKO said. Listening to them, Una could not help looking toward the audience once more. âThank you so much.â Her voice traveled throughout the entire venue through the microphone. âWhile I was making my wish earlier, I kept thinking that I wanted to sing many more songs with all of you in the future. Seeing so many people here with me now, I feel as though that wish has already begun to come true.â A wave of emotional and enthusiastic cheers rose from the audience. After checking the camera frame, Luka looked up. âEverything is ready. Shall we all count down together this time?â âYesâ!â Voices from both the stage and the audience rang out together. âThreeâ!â Una looked at the familiar friends beside her and then at the glittering audience before her. âTwoâ!â The candle flames continued to dance quietly in front of her. âOneâ!â Everyone shouted together: âHappy birthday, Una!â Clickâ The second photo was taken amid the loudest birthday wishes of the night. In the picture, the smiles of all nine performers shone brightly beneath the candlelight and stage lights. Behind them stretched an entire sea of stars formed by the audienceâs glow sticks. In that instant, the distance between the stage and the audience seemed to disappear, and everyoneâs feelings were captured in the same photograph. Luka looked down at the result and immediately smiled with satisfaction. âThis one turned out beautifully.â Rin moved closer at once. âReally? Did we get the audience in the picture too?â âYes.â Luka turned the screen toward everyone. âThe lights behind us look beautiful.â Len looked at the photograph and smiled as well. âIt really does look like thereâs a whole sky full of stars behind us.â âAnd everyoneâs smiles look so natural,â Miku said. Teto gazed at the picture and added softly: âThatâs because this time, it wasnât only us taking a photo. The entire venue created this memory together.â MEIKO smiled with satisfaction. âThe first photo captured the moment after Una made her wish. The second one captured the moment when everyone celebrated her together.â KAITO nodded seriously. âBoth photos deserve to be treasured.â MEIKO looked toward Una. âEspecially the second one. Whenever we see it again, weâll remember the feelings that traveled from the stage to the audienceâand then returned from the audience to the stage.â Una looked at the photograph, her eyes shining even more brightly than the candle flames. âIâll always remember it.â She picked up the microphone again and bowed deeply toward the audience. âThank you for taking a second photo with me, and thank you for spending such a happy birthday with me.â The audience answered once again with a perfectly synchronized shout. âHappy birthday, Unaâ!â Una lifted her head and replied with a smile: âThank you!â The candle flames continued to burn quietly on the cake. And in the photograph that had just been taken, the smiles of all nine performers, the starlight of the audience, and the blessings sent by the entire venue were preserved forever within that special birthday night. --- æ¥æ¬èª äŒå Žã¿ããªã§å®æãããäžæ äžæç®ã®åçãæ®ãçµããã¿ããªããã®åºæ¥ã確èªããããšããŠãããšãã客åžããçªç¶ãæã£ã声ãé¿ããã ãããäžæââïŒã Unaã¯é¡ãäžããé©ããããã«å®¢åžãèŠã€ããã ãã¿ããªãäºæç®ãèŠããã®ïŒã è¿ã£ãŠããã®ã¯ãããã«å€§ããªæå£°ã ã£ãã ãèŠããââïŒã ãããäžææ®ã£ãŠïŒã ãä¹äººå šå¡ã§ïŒã èå°äžã®ã¿ããªã¯é¡ãèŠåãããããã«ç¬ãå§ããã Rinãè奮ããæ§åã§èšã£ãã ããã¡ã³ã®ã¿ããªããããªã«æ¥œãã¿ã«ããŠãããŠãããªãããã¡ããããäžææ®ããªããïŒã ãäžæç®ãæ®ã£ãã°ãããªãã ãã©ãªã Lenã¯ããèšããªããããé¡ã«ã¯ç¬ã¿ãæµ®ãã¹ãŠããã ãã§ããã¿ããªã®å£°ããããªã«æã£ãŠãããšãæãããã«ãªããã Mikuã¯å®¢åžã«åãã£ãŠæãæ¯ã£ãã ãUnaã®æãåºããã£ãšæ®ããããšæã£ãŠãããŠãããããšãã ãããããäºæç®ãã¡ãããšããåçã«ããªããšãã Tetoãæ¥œãããã«èšã£ãã ãããããªããšããã¡ã³ã®ã¿ããªã«äžæç®ããé¡ãããã¡ããããã ãã®èšèãçµãããšåæã«ã客åžããããã«å£°ãé£ãã§ããã ãäžæç®ã§ããããââïŒã ã¿ããªã¯äžæã«ç¬ãåºããã ç¬ããããããªãããMEIKOãèšã£ãã ããŸãã¯äºæç®ããã¡ããšæ®ããŸããããäžæç®ã«ã€ããŠã¯ããã®ããšã§çžè«ãã KAITOãé ·ããã ãããã ããã¿ããªããã®ãé¡ããªãã ãããèšå¿µã«æ®ãäžæã«ãããã Unaã¯å®¢åžã«åºãããã³ã©ã€ãã®å ãèŠã€ããããã®ãããããªèŒãããéãç³ã®äžã«ãæ ã蟌ãã§ããã ãã¿ããªãããããšããããããããããäžææ®ããïŒã 客åžããããã«å€§ããªææã沞ãèµ·ãã£ãã Lukaã¯ããäžåºŠã«ã¡ã©ã確èªããããããã¿ããªã«å£°ããããã ãããå°ãè¿ãã«éãŸã£ãŠãä»åºŠã¯èå°ãšå®¢åžãäž¡æ¹ã®å ãäžç·ã«åãããã®ã ãããã¯ãããã Gakupoãèšã£ãã ãããã¯åãã¡ä¹äººã ãã®åçã§ã¯ãªãããã¡ã³ã®ã¿ããªãUnaã®èªçæ¥ãäžç·ã«ç¥ã£ãŠãããæ¯è²ãæ®ããäžæã«ãªãã ãã®èšèãèããUnaã®ç¬é¡ã¯ããã«æãããªã£ãã ããããã¿ããªã®ããšãããã®æãåºã®äžã«æ®ãããã ã¿ããªã¯åã³ã±ãŒãããŒãã«ã®ãã°ã«éãŸã£ãã ä»åºŠã¯ãã©ããªããŒãºããããç¹å¥ã«çžè«ããããšãã衚æ ãæããããšããããšããªãã£ãããã èªç¶ã«å¯ãæ·»ããªããã客åžããæ¬¡ã ãšå±ãç¥çŠã®å£°ãèããç¬é¡ã§ã«ã¡ã©ãèŠã€ããã é玫è²ã®å ãèå°ã«ãã£ãããšéãæ³šãã§ãããèåŸã®å·šå€§ã¹ã¯ãªãŒã³ã«ã¯ãå€ãããé®®ãã㪠**ãHAPPY BIRTHDAY UNAã** ã®æåãèŒããŠãããã±ãŒãã®ããããã¯éãã«æºãã客åžã®ç¡æ°ã®ãã³ã©ã€ãã¯æã®å·ã®ããã«é ããŸã§åºãã£ãŠããã Rinã¯å®¢åžãèŠãªãããç¬é¡ã§åŒã³ãããã ãã¿ããªãã«ã¡ã©ãèŠãŠãïŒã ããããªã«åºã客åžãªãã ãããäžäººäžäººã®é¡ãŸã§ã¯åããªããšæããã Lenã圌女ã«èšã£ãã ãã§ããã¿ããªã®å ã¯åãããã Mikuã¯éãã«é ·ããã ãããã ãããã®å ãèŠãã°ããã®ãšãã©ãã»ã©å€ãã®äººãUnaãšäžç·ã«ããŠãããã®ãæãåºããã Tetoãç¬ããªããä»ãå ããã ãããã«ãã¿ããªã®å£°ããã£ãšç§ãã¡ã®èšæ¶ã«æ®ããã KAITOã¯å®¢åžãèŠã€ããªãããç©ãããªå£èª¿ã§è©±ããã ã仿¥ã®ã³ã³ãµãŒãããããªã«ããŠããªé°å²æ°ã«ãªã£ãã®ã¯ãäžäººäžäººãããããã®åœ¢ã§åãã¡ãå¿æŽããŠãããŠããããã ãã ãã ããäºæç®ã®åçã¯ãã¿ããªã§äžç·ã«å®æãããåçãªã®ãã MEIKOãèšã£ãã ã¿ããªã®èšèãèããªãããUnaã¯ããäžåºŠå®¢åžãèŠã€ããã ãæ¬åœã«ããããšãã ãã®å£°ã¯ãã€ã¯ãéããŠãäŒå Žå šäœãžãšåºãã£ãŠãã£ãã ããã£ãé¡ãäºãããŠãããšãããããããã¿ããªãšäžç·ã«ããã£ãšããããã®æãæãããã£ãŠãã£ãšæã£ãŠããã®ãä»ããããªã«å€§å¢ã®ã¿ããªããã°ã«ããŠãããã®ãèŠãŠãããšããã®é¡ãã¯ããå¶ãå§ããŠãããããªæ°ãããã 客åžãããæåãšåã³ã®å ¥ãæ··ãã£ã倧ããªæå£°ãé¿ããã ã«ã¡ã©ã®ç»é¢ã確èªããLukaãé¡ãäžããã ãæºåã§ããããä»åºŠã¯ã¿ããªã§äžç·ã«ã«ãŠã³ãããŠã³ããããïŒã ãã¯ãŒãââïŒã èå°ãšå®¢åžã®å£°ãåæã«é¿ããã ãäžââïŒã Unaã¯ãã°ã«ãã倧åãªä»²éãã¡ãšãç®ã®åã«åºããèŒã客åžãèŠã€ããã ãäºââïŒã ã±ãŒãã®ããããã¯ãUnaã®ç®ã®åã§éãã«æºããŠããã ãäžââïŒã å šå¡ã声ãæããŠå«ãã ã ãUnaããèªçæ¥ããã§ãšãïŒã ã«ã·ã£ââã äžçªå€§ããªç¥çŠã®å£°ã«å ãŸããªãããäºæç®ã®åçãæ®åœ±ãããã åçã®äžã§ã¯ãä¹äººã®ç¬é¡ãããããã®å ãšèå°ç §æã«ç §ããããã²ãšããæããèŒããŠããããã®åŸãã«ã¯ããã³ã©ã€ãã§äœãããæã®æµ·ãåºãã£ãŠããããã®ç¬éãèå°ãšå®¢åžã®è·é¢ã¯ãªããªã£ããã®ããã«æããããã¿ããªã®æããäžæã®åçã«æ®ãããã Lukaã¯æ®åœ±ããåçã確èªããæºè¶³ããã«åŸ®ç¬ãã ã ããšãŠããããã«æ®ããŠãããã Rinãããã«è¿ã¥ããŠããã ãæ¬åœïŒã客åžãã¡ãããšåã£ãŠãïŒã ãããã Lukaã¯ã«ã¡ã©ã®ç»é¢ãã¿ããªã«åããã ãåŸãã®å ãããããããã LenãåçãèŠã€ããæããç¬ã£ãã ãæ¬åœã«ãåãã¡ã®åŸãã«æç©ºãåºãã£ãŠããã¿ããã ã ãã¿ããªã®ç¬é¡ããããèªç¶ã ãã Mikuãèšã£ãã Tetoã¯åçãèŠãªãããéãã«ä»ãå ããã ãä»åã¯ç§ãã¡ã ããåçãæ®ã£ãããããªããŠãäŒå Žã«ããã¿ããªã§äžç·ã«æãåºãæ®ããããã ãã MEIKOã¯ãããããã«åŸ®ç¬ãã ã ãäžæç®ã¯Unaãé¡ãäºãããããšã®ç¬éãæ®ããåçãäºæç®ã¯ãã¿ããªã§Unaãç¥çŠããç¬éãæ®ããåçãã KAITOã¯çå£ã«é ·ããã ãã©ã¡ãã倧åã«æ®ããŠããã¹ãåçã ãã MEIKOã¯UnaãèŠã€ããã ãç¹ã«äºæç®ã¯ãããäžåºŠèŠãã°ãä»å€ãèå°ãã客åžãžå±ãããããŠå®¢åžããèå°ãžè¿ã£ãŠããæããæãåºããã¯ããã Unaã¯åçãèŠã€ãããéãç³ã«ã¯ãããããã®çãããæããå ãèŒããŠããã ããã£ãšèŠããŠãããã Unaã¯åã³ãã€ã¯ãæã«åãã客åžãžæ·±ãé ãäžããã ãäºæç®ã®åçãäžç·ã«æ®ã£ãŠãããŠããããšãããããŠããããªã«å¹žããªèªçæ¥ãäžç·ã«éãããŠãããŠãæ¬åœã«ããããšãã 客åžããåã³ãæã£ã声ãé¿ããã ãUnaããèªçæ¥ããã§ãšãââïŒã Unaã¯é¡ãäžããç¬é¡ã§çããã ãããããšãïŒã ã±ãŒãã®ããããã¯ãä»ãéãã«çãç¶ããŠããã ãããŠããã£ã仿®ããããã®åçã®äžã«ã¯ãä¹äººã®ç¬é¡ã客åžã«åºããæã®å ããããŠäŒå Žå šäœããèŽãããç¥çŠãããã®ç¹å¥ãªèªçæ¥ã®å€ãšãšãã«æ°žé ã«æ®ãããŠããã
