 * Hey there! It's Kasane! I haven't see you since winter. It really surprised me when I was told that I came in first place in a popularity contest... but I'm overjoyed. Thanks! ♪
 * Also! We got to go on a trip to Okinawa! It sounded too good to be true! What made it even more unbelievable was that Jennifer-chan and Shizuku-chan were coming with me, and they look absolutely stunning! Ehehe.
 * Well then, I'll just send a picture of ourselves for now! Let's play together again once we're back!


 * Jennifer (2nd place):
 * I never expected that I'd be chosen for something like this... I'm really grateful. Thanks!
 * It makes me happy that Kasane-chan and Shizuku-chan are together with me. We may be rival school idols... but I don't want us to feel like we're enemies. It's because we're rivals that I want to be on good terms with them.
 * Look forward to seeing powered-up versions of ourselves once we get back from our trip! I can't wait until I get to see you again. ♪


 * Shizuku Osaka (3rd place):
 * Thank you all so much for voting for me in the popularity contest! ♪
 * I've been thinking about why I was selected... but I guess it was good that I've been putting my all into my theater performances and my school idol performances. I truly think that way right now. I've included a photo of the three of us.
 * I've been having so much fun on this trip and every day's been full of laughter. ♪ Please keep supporting us, okay?
