Did anyone else get one of these?
[He holds up a charm with a blue symbol in the middle]
Cam got one and said it help evolve our partners to the next level.
[Terriermon pops up, grinning at the camera]
Neku's is the Crest of Friendsh-
[Neku pushes her off camera with an annoyed expression]
AS I WAS SAYING- does anyone know how they work or where they came from? Mine just poofed into existence. Let's compare notes.
races somehow. They decided to help by motivating the drivers. And of course, what was the best way to motivate people?
CHEERLEADERS?!
The idols ---with the exception of Hibiki who was dragged there against his will --- Rise, Sonata and Yuuko with the help of their ever trusty mascot cameraman, Kanji while donning his designs (The skirts differ depending on the member color) and pompoms have come to show their support.
The video starts by focusing on Rise for a few second and then Yuuko who was momentarily glomped by Sonata who wanted to greet the people on camera too. Kanji backed away a bit because Sonata kept reaching for the camera ... just enough to reveal three other people at the back who was also wearing cheerleading outfits like the idols in front were. One was Orine and the other was Makoto and Hibiki ... being Hibiki and wondering how Rise dragged him into this. }
{ Sorry, Hibiki. None of them are listening at the moment. }
{ An upbeat song began to play and the group began to poise into formation with Yuuko at the center. They jumped, waved and danced to the beat of the song. Each of them having a turn to flirt or show their character in front of the camera. Though Rise had to shove Hibiki to the front when it was his turn, while the she teased him and played with his fluffy hair.
When the song was over, everyone gave a bow. Later, some were waving pompoms or jumping or blowing kisses to the camera. What are you waiting for, Racers?! They are waiting for you. }
{ Colors: Rise, Yuuko, Sonata, Hibiki and no idol unit is complete without everyone in AKB0048. }
{ Rise isn't much of a driver, but she and her friends wanted to participate during the

(Rise) Hello, everyone! This is the debut of our new idol unit! I'm Risette! (Yuuko) Yuuko! (Sonata)Sonata is Sonata!
(Yuuko) We don't have a name yet, though. But maybe you can help us with that.
(Sonata) Why not AKB, Risette?
(Rise) Err ... I don't know ... won't we be sued for copyright?
(Yuuko) We'll worry about that later!
(Rise) Oh, right! We're hoping to expand our happy family. So, if you think you have the heart ...
(Yuuko) ... the determination!!
(Sonata) ... and the cuteness like Sonata!
(Rise)Come and see us and we'll welcome you into our family.
(Hibiki) Rise, are you sure I should be here?
{ Sorry, Hibiki. None of them are listening at the moment. }
(Yuuko) Racers, good luck! We'll be waiting and cheering for you at the finish line! Go for the win!
(Rise) Wally! Do your best!
(Sonata) Sonata will be cheering her hardest!
(Hibiki) Daichi, I guess I'll see you at the finish line?
(Yuuko) ... until then, Aitakatta!

Alright, ladies and gents, listen up. This weekend is my girlfriend's birthday! Sooo, I wanna throw her a big surprise party for her sweet sixteen. I, uh, I'm assuming everyone knows who she is? But for those of you who don't: yes, I'm dating Rise Kujikawa.
[ He looks away for a moment, counting on his fingers, then looks back with a pleased grin on his face. ]
Yeah, for two months on June 10th.
Anyway, everyone's invited, I just need a couple people to help me out with baking, since I'm kinda trying to attempt to make a 16-tier cake. Cam, Neku, you aren't allowed near the kitchen again.
And I'll probably be throwing this shindig at the karaoke place where she works, I just need to talk to someone else who works there to figure out the logistics of it all. Obviously it'll be on her birthday — June 1st — and she's got that day off, so I'd just need to get a room big enough for... well, a lot of people. The biggest one possible. Not sure how much that'd cost, either. Man, my paycheck is gonna be gone by the end of this week...
But yeah. RSVP here so I know how big of a room to get. I think the 16-tier cake'll cover the food part.
[ Or, in case you don't want to listen to him talk: ]

H-Hey, um, listen up, because I'm not going to say this a second time!
Another Dark Zone opened up. I mean, me and Cam found it. We're fine! But I don't want anyone near it. You know what happened last time, and I'm sure not coming to save you.
But... it's still a problem that these keep popping up.
My lady is right. This is going to be a problem if the Dark Zone keeps continuing to expand. Something must be done about it.
... You shouldn't go that far, Elecmon. You might give someone the wrong idea.
We cannot do nothing. This is our responsibility.
Maybe, but still! This is dangerous, and most of us are either children or incredibly immature adults. We need to focus on staying alive...
[ Clearly, the two have been at odds about this. It's not a full blown fight, but Iori and Elecmon still don't get along like partners should. ]
The feed starts with Rise's introduction. She was winking and smiling to the camera. Once in a while, even blowing a kiss. She turned the camera and showed a very grouchy Lucemon. It looked like Rise had dragged him there. }
Good Morning, everyone! It's Rise and I am here at the arcade about to play a game called --- say it, Lucy!
Dance Step Mania ...
Say it with more life!
*sighs* DANCE STEP MANIA!!!
...
Close enough ... Now, let Rise amaze you!
{ Rise had Lucemon hold the camera towards her and began her first game. After selecting a song and setting it on basic first, she began to dance. It was an upbeat song and she was scoring very high. There was no sign of panting or hardship. Looks like she really was used to it. For her, this was no different from the dances she did as an idol. }
( SUNKiSS♥DROP~Jun Side )
{ When the song ends she turns to the camera again and gives a deep bow. But she wasn't done. }
I was wondering if someone else out there knows how to play this game. If you do, why don't you come over and try to challenge me?
I warn you, I'm pretty good!
I see several people have been having...difficulties with their partners' forms lately. It's a little curious...Sorcermon says it isn't normal, so I have to wonder what the cause is. If anyone has any theories, I would love to discuss them.
But that's not my only reason for being here right now. Someone brought up the fact that the books here are mostly in Japanese and not everyone could read them. It's a shame to leave books like this out of reach, so I'm going to make an offer. I'm willing to give people Japanese lessons in exchange for stories from your home worlds. They don't have to be especially exciting, but I want to know about the places people come from. I consider research a bit of a hobby, you see, so I'm intrigued by the idea of all these parallel universes.
*Sorcermon walks into the frame behind him, holding a book written in digicode against his chest.*
And I'm willing to offer lessons in this world's script for the same price. But if you'd rather not talk about it, we would accept payment in bits as well.
If you're interested, you can either reply here or contact me personally later. But regardless of how you get in touch, I won't share any of the stories you tell without permission. Oh, and in case you missed Shepards' introduction of me the other day, I'm Commander Jin Uzuki. It's a pleasure to meet all you new arrivals.
Hashire! Penguin!. Hopefully her roomies aren't around, though maybe they should... just start learning to live with having Sonata as a roommate. Penguinmon can't be seen, but he can be heard offscreen.
Apparently he isn't too much of a fan.]
You really shouldn't be jumping around like that. [Kid you'll break your neck and he doesn't want to be responsible]
Sonata's practicing! [Why do you have to be such a killjoy, Penguinmon] Slowpoke should practice, too!
I wish you would stop calling me that... [Everyone else's Digimon partners seem to be getting much better nicknames, while he's stuck being called 'Slowpoke']
Slowpoke needs to move faster! Slowpoke! Slowpoke! Slow- huh?
[Sonata abrubtly stops jumping on the bed, as something's caught her attention. Penguinmon, apparently, is now... Gatomon.
Well, it got her to stop jumping around, at least.]
Whoah, Slowpoke, you turned into a kitty!
... It looks that way, yes.
[The feed starts very shakily, and doesn't seem very steady, before it's clear that the source comes from Sonata jumping on the bed, apparently practicing her singing, as she's been practicing, amusingly enough,

Just wanna put a quick shout out to all of you who gave me a pep talk...or smack, since the big throw down. I totally needed it. I still really don't have a clue what I'm gonna do myself but...well Rita is on board.
Rita is apparently my name now.
Yeah! It's the name of this great actress I knew back home and you'd love her if you met her.
If you say so...
Anyway! So WHAT UP New guys!? And girls! We just got a whole bunch of you huh?
Well I'm Gar...or Beastboy. Or changeling. Whatever you prefer. I'm still kinda figuring that out myself. Long story.
Let's get to know each other! I used to be a super hero, greatest job ever by the way. And could shapeshift into any animal!
Speaking of which, what's your favorite animal?
I just got a new job at the arcade so this Friday when I'm working swing by and say hi! I'll even give you a free game on any machine you ask...just one though. I don't want my boss finding out~
Which is why you posted this on the network.
Point taken.
Not that this matters much, considering everything that's been going on, but it was my birthday yesterday. I guess that means I'm sixteen now.
Back home I'm famous, so I would have gotten a few bags full of mail and presents from fans. I guess I just... miss that.
Whatever, I know it's stupid, okay? You don't have to tell me that. I know everyone has way more important things to deal with than my birthday.
[Private to Hibiki Ganaha]
Thanks for the meal yesterday. That was really nice of you.
