Maki Nishikino's POV

Umi, Nozomi and Rin stood up from where they were sitting. I watched them as they walked towards the back stage of the auditorium. The members of Printemps appeared and sat beside us.

I felt Nico-chan's hand touch my right hand, causing me to look at her. She gave me her cute smile and said, "Maki-chan, don't you worry. I'm pretty sure that we have a chance in winning this."

I smiled back at her and nodded. The audience fell silent when Lily White appeared on stage.

"Kindly listen to our song, ' A-NO-NE-GA-N-BA-RE!'" Umi, Nozomi and Rin announced.

Ganbaru no wa jibun no tame
Sore ja kutabirete shimau no
Dareka no egao dakishimeyou yo
Issho ni mirai tsukurou yo

Nandemo dekiru hito nante
Minna no yume no Hiiroo
Yume wa yume de tanoshii no
Patto shinai chanto shinai
Jibun no koto mo daiji ni shite hoshii na

Sukoshi no yuuki ga watashi no kokoro o
Terasunda Do you know? (suteki o) 
Kagayaite Can I do! (mitsukete) 
Hontou no kiseki da yo (a-no-ne-ga-n-ba-re!) 

A-no-ne
Ganbari kata ga chigau kamo? 
Hitori kiri de nayamanaide
Kanashiku naru no tsumaranai
Ganbaru no wa jibun no tame
Sore ja kutabirete shimau no
Dareka no egao dakishimeyou yo
Issho ni mirai tsukurou yo

Shokku o uketa surechigai
Un yori doryoku janakatta? 
Muri wa muri to mitomereba
Kitto nareru chanto nareru
Kyou yori mo tabun utare tsuyoku nareru no

Sukoshi no yuuki de watashi mo tobesou yo
Michibiite Can you hear? (kanarazu) 
Harikitte Do I do! (sagashite) 
Hontou ni matteru yo (i-ku-yo-ma-ke-ru-na!) 

I-ku-yo
Makenaide ne saki no saki wa
Ame agari no aozora da yo
Shizuku ga kirari hajikete
Makenai yo ne kiri no saki no
Shin sekai wa mabushii kara
Tsukare o zenbu oite ikou yo
Yasashiku tsuyoku susumou yo

A-no-ne
Ganbari kata ga chigau kamo? 
Hitori kiri de nayamanaide
Kanashiku naru no tsumaranai
Ganbaru no wa jibun no tame
Sore ja kutabirete shimau no
Issho ga ii ne warattetai ne
Egao no Shinpashii

I-ku-yo
Makenaide ne saki no saki wa
Ame agari no aozora da yo
Shizuku ga kirari hajikete
Makenai yo ne kiri no saki wa
Shin sekai no atsui hikari
Tsukare o zenbu oite ikou yo
Yasashiku tsuyoku susumou yo, susumou yo!

I have to admit Lily White's song was pretty awesome and nice. But hey, BiBi won't lose to them. I took a deep breath as we clapped our hands along with the audience. I hope that I won't mess up when we perform. I could tell that both Eli and Nico-chan are nervous just like me. Nozomi, Rin and Umi bowed and went down the stage. We, BiBi, stood up and went to the back stage to prepare ourselves.
