Mariko Concert "Cellular Prominence"
Doesn't look too great.

Well, I've got nothing better to do...
Thank you!
Come see us again!
We'll be at our merch booth.
See you there!
Huh? You're not going up front?
I'm not feeling so hot.
Looks like all these guys are "omaitsu," huh?
Yeah.
You were handing out those CDs you bought by the box, weren't you?
I thought we'd get more newcomers out of that.
They sold out of 250 copies at Itorio's first solo concert.
The Suu-Blog was behind that, probably.
I guess you can't beat the numbers the Internet brings in.
They're trying pretty hard, I'm sure.
It's impressive that a fairly unknown idol
from a lousy agency could draw a crowd of 100 people.
I guess that's just how things are.
Making her major debut!
It's not like they'll go under, if they pull this many people in.
I'm sure Mariko's happy.
I don't know how she feels about it, though.
It's how things are, huh?
Thanks for waiting!
The chocolate I put into my mouth was bitter.
I like it better when it's sweet.
The tears that suddenly fell reminded me of that day.
Mariko
I can't help but say that it's fun.
1, 2, 3! 1, 2, 3! 1, 2, 3!
Even if it can't be like it was,
This fever awakens every cell in my body.
Wow.
She's a good singer.
The fan interactions are fun.
I love you, Mariko!
Thank you all so much for coming today.
My concerts are being streamed live online now,
and it's been half a year since I first debuted.
When I first debuted, no one came to see me at all.
That's not true!
I heard that 100 people are here today.
More people are buying my merchandise, too.
I'm really, really happy.
I was just thinking about how happy I am.
Don't cry!
I...
I want to climb even higher!

"Omaitsu."
This word is a contraction of the phrase, "You're always here."
"Omae itsumo iru na."
It's an otaku who's always there, no matter the time
of day or night, or the location.
The "omaitsu" are the true otaku.
So, people with too much free time.
That's rich, coming from a NEET.

TO.
These vital otaku have more passion than others,
spend vast sums of money, and go to all the events.
We call those people "Top Otaku."
Me, in other words.
"TO" is usually a self-bestowed title. Most people think they're a nuisance.
You weak otaku just can't take it.
