It's almost time.
I'm so nervous.
My little flower, believe in yourself.
And believe in us too, senpai.
If we work together,
we can even make miracles happen.
We'll always protect you.
You gave us something precious.
This time, we'll give something to you.
It's all right. I'm sure you can do it.
On a stage that's sure to glitter more than a dream
Together we'll play
Dreamin' Starlight Dreamin' Night
SHINY RAY
A melody that crosses the night sky connecting the stars
Even my emotions overflow from my body
Let's climb a rainbow high in the sky
Like a colorful palette it brings us smiles
The rising sun makes sleeping buds bloom beautifully
On a stage that's sure to glitter more than a dream
Together we'll play
Dreamin' Sunrise Dreamin' Sunrise
I'll squeeze your hand and never let go
Our fortunes quietly overlap
Dreamin' Sunrise Dreamin' Day
SHINY RAY

#1 Brilliantly Blooming Renaissance
Mom, your sparkles...
...are so pretty.
Like magic!
Thank you, Kohana.
When I grow up, I'm going to shine too.
I'm sure you will.
You can do it, Kohana.
It's okay. I'm sure I can do it.
The Hoshinomori School of Magical Arts.
Mom, I was able to transfer to your alma mater.
I'm going to study here and become just like my mom.
I know I can do it!
All of you were admitted to the Hoshinomori School of Magic
because of your talent for the magical arts.
Da Vinci, Mozart, Murasaki Shikibu, Michelangelo,
Shakespeare, Bach, Picasso, Gaudi.
I hope you'll study hard every day so you can approach
the level of these pioneers of the magical arts.
An artista.
I'll work hard. I'll work as hard as I can!
Such beautiful sparkles.
They're sort of warm.
They're like threads of light.
Not bad, newbie.
Thanks, senpai.
Amazing.
So he's the Monochrome Prince I've heard so much about.
His paintings are wonderful.
Isn't he a new student?
He's incredible for a younger boy.
The Monochrome Prince?
Oh, his outfit is monochrome.
And so is his painting!
His paintings are monochrome, but he sparkles with all kinds of colors.
How strange.
Your artistic sense is impressive.
It's no big deal.
"Squeak?"
Wow, how dynamic.
I wonder what it is.
Maybe a wild boar?
These sparkles smell sweet, like vanilla.
Senpai, that's an impressive tiger.
What? It's a cheetah.
Can't you tell by looking at it?
What? No.
There's no way anyone could tell,
What?
but he sparkles nonetheless.
He must be an incredible artista.
Jeez, Angelo.
You're always joking around.
Angelo?
Just kidding.
I'm always serious.
Bang.
Angelo!
Were those wings sparkles?
His dancing was amazing.
It's Suminomiya.
He's doing it again.
What? He's going to write on that?
Suminomiya-kun's art is beautiful enough.
But when it comes to calligraphy, he's indiscriminate.
It's beautiful.
I wouldn't expect less from Suminomiya.
This isn't right either.
He's out of energy.
Again?
It's a little pointy.
It's beautiful.
There are sparkles all over the place here.
I can't believe I'm actually a student at Hoshigei.
It's like a dream.
I'm glad I didn't give up.
They're like diamonds.
But what is this?
They feel a little cold.
E-Excuse me...
You're heavy.
S-Sorry.
Thank you for saving me.
You're a second-year.
I'm also a purple student...
I'm a transfer student.
I was on my way to the dorms.
Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry for talking so much.
But they were so beautiful.
Your sparkles were so beautiful.
That's none of your business.
What? Oh...
I-I'm sorry.
Um, thank you.
Wrong way.
What? Oh, is it this way?
Hey.
Yes?
The dorm isn't that way.
Hurry up.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate the help.
Well, well.
You don't waste any time, do you?
You had the king walk you here.
The king?
Ichijoji Teika.
A prodigy who's practically a king around here.
He's a prodigy. I see.
His singing was wonderful.
Yeah.
They say he can sing any song immediately after hearing it.
He probably doesn't even need to practice.
Th-That's incredible.
You're the transfer student, right?
I'm your roommate, Chikamatsu Juri.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Aigasaki Kohana.
What? Aigasaki?
What?
How wonderful.
I'm surprised.
I can't believe my roommate is Aigasaki Sakura's daughter.
You know my mom?
Everyone knows her.
She was a world renowned artista
and an alumnus of this school.
She passed away, right?
Yeah, when I was little.
I came to this school because I wanted to be like my mom.
I see.
Then, why didn't you come to Hoshigei in the first place?
Well, actually...
I had a bad fever the day of the entrance exam.
I couldn't take it.
Yikes.
But even after attending a regular school, I couldn't give up.
I see. So you took the transfer exam.
Yeah. That's right, Juri-san.
"That's right, Juri."
What? Oh.
That's right, Juri.
Yeah.
I'll call you Kohana, too.
Okay.
Anyway, you're amazing, Kohana.
What?
Apparently, they offer the transfer exam every year.
But I've never heard of anyone passing it.
R-Really?
Well, I'm not surprised after hearing you're Aigasaki Sakura's daughter.
Kohana, do you do flower arranging, too?
Yeah.
Give it a try.
I want to see what kind of light you shed.
What?
Come on, hurry up.
I-I can't do that.
I haven't taken any lessons yet.
There you go again.
Really, I can't.
Go on, go on.
Um...
Huh?
What? Seriously?
Most Hoshigei students can at least manage some magical arts
by the time they start.
Some students even go pro while they're still students.
What?
We're second-years,
so most students are already at the level that they can use magical arts.
Uh-oh....
For you.
Magic-Kyun!
Renaissance.
I had no idea.
Some people can produce sparkles even if they haven't been taught how.
Okay. I should be able to practice in secret here.
I should give it a shot.
Until now, I assumed I couldn't produce them.
But if I think I can, I might be able to.
No, I'm sure I can.
They're not coming.
They're still not coming!
It's no use.
Maybe I can't do it after all.
My friends were so supportive, too.
Congratulations, Kohana.
Your dream came true.
It's incredible that you got into Hoshigei.
Kohana, you never gave up on flower arranging.
Promise you'll show us when you learn to do magical arts.
You can do it, Kohana.
I think I'm already letting them down.
The king's sparkles.
They're so beautiful.
How beautiful.
I-I'm sorry.
Your sparkles were so beautiful, I couldn't help myself.
You again?
I-I'm sorry.
Um, you practice too?
No, I was just singing.
This staircase is unusual.
You can't go up there.
What?
They're the Scala Artista.
The Scala...?
I see. You don't know yet.
Every year, the Prince and Princess chosen to be the Best Artista
climb these steps.
Best Artista?
Prince? Princess?
They're the male and female students recognized as the most exceptional of that year.
Every student at Hoshigei wants to be chosen.
I want to be one, too.
You're awfully confident.
What kind of magical art do you use?
I can't.
Maybe I was naïve.
I worked really hard because I was desperate to get into Hoshigei.
But I'm having to face some harsh truths.
Even though I've worked so hard,
I'm wondering if it was all for nothing.
Hard work?
What?
The moment you doubt your hard work is the moment it becomes worthless.
Only those who continue to believe are able to achieve results.
Your hard work will never betray you.
Your hard work will never...
You're right.
This is no time to be feeling down on myself.
As long as I work hard, I can do it.
Don't tell anyone we met here.
Huh?
What? Um...
Wait!
What do you want?
Thank you.
I'll work hard. I'll do my best!
What?
The sparkles...
These are my first sparkles.
This is the first time I've made any.
Yeah, you did it.
Yeah!
See you later.
Thank you, King.
It's Ichijoji Teika.
Sure, Ichijoji-kun.
All right. I'll do my best!
We have a transfer student.
Seriously?
A transfer student?
I've never seen one before.
How unusual.
What's her major?
Quiet.
You can sit...
Oh, perfect.
Go sit next to Chikamatsu.
Okay.
That's all.
Ah, o-okay.
Teacher, tell us more about her.
Shut up. I'm busy.
You never do anything right.
Yeah, yeah. You guys figure something out on your own.
You always say that.
I value independence in my students.
Good to see you.
He didn't even tell them my name.
Todo-sensei's always like that.
I can hardly believe how unmotivated he is.
Regarding this year's Hoshinomori Summer Festival...
Summer Festival?
It's the school's summer cultural festival.
Really?
These three will be your second-year executive committee members.
Let's see...
Ichijoji Teika.
Yes.
I'm not surprised Ichijoji-kun was chosen.
Suminomiya Aoi.
Suminomiya isn't here today, either.
Suminomiya doesn't come to class.
He wanders around by himself doing calligraphy.
Was he the guy writing on the school walls?
Ichijoji, tell Suminomiya later.
Yes, sir.
And the third student is...
Aigasaki Kohana.
What? I was chosen already?
What? Did he say Aigasaki?
What? That Aigasaki?
The transfer student?
Seriously?
What?
Um, I...
So you're Aigasaki's daughter.
What?
You're my enemy.
Is the transfer student really an Aigasaki?
What? She's Aigasaki Sakura's daughter?
This isn't good.
Um, excuse me...
Magic-Kyun! Renaissance
Teika, I heard Aigasaki's daughter transferred to the school.
You know what you have to do.
You must become the Artista Prince.
Yes, brother.
I thought I didn't need anything else.
Not until I met you.
Next time on Magic-Kyun! Renaissance:
"I Can Only See You."
Magic-kyun for you.
