High School PriChan the Musical, Part 2!

By popular demand!

So, as I mentioned before, Part 2 of the High School PriChan virtual musical (originally streamed on 3/9/2024) was a lot more dense than the first. All you really need to know about Part 1 is that Miracle Kiratts, Meltic Star, Ring Marry, and Daia were kidnapped and brought to a high school in space by Sadame Ginga for a mysterious purpose.

And so, our story begins exactly where we left off. They even open the show in the same exact way as part 1, with a reprise of the original song High School Challenger.

After the opening song, the girls discuss their upcoming Culture Festival (which has an overcomplicated name that Sadame keeps changing) and predict that Sadame Ginga will just appear and tell them it's happening all of a sudden without them actually having planned anything.

And guess what happens!

But they are all used to it by now.

So, what does everyone actually do for the Culture Festival?

Could it be, performing a live!? (They have done nothing else at this "high school" so far...)

So we have another string of performances, the most interesting of which is again Daia's. Just as she's about to begin, the screen starts glitching out and she is joined by her other self to form Double Daia. Together they perform Forever Friends! Yes, the MyChara Zuttomo song from PriPara!

Daia just covered Heart Iro Tori Dream in the last installment, so I don't know why she gets all the surprise covers but YAY DAIA!!!

The mascot Daia leaves and we reach the "climax" of the Culture Festival: the MyChara runway! Well, they call it a runway but it's actually a conveyor belt. (I don't know why they couldn't do the usual runway animation?) And so, the MyCharas of everyone who paid to get in are all wheeled out and do a pose at the end of the conveyor belt. How very exciting, for everyone who got in that is. This part seemed to drag on forever though... But well, I guess it was kinda neat seeing all the various season 3 coords I never got to see before.

After the runway, so much "sadame iine" has been uniquely gathered that Sadame Ginga insists they put on a special performance that has never been seen before. If so, a miracle might occur!

All of a sudden, Mel, Mirai, and Rinka start talking about some kind of a special group they once took part in, in a different world. This is all very confusing in universe, but it's Run Girls Run. They are talking about Run Girls Run.

So, the three of them perform Brand New Girls!

This leaves Emo, Sara, and Anna watching on the sidelines... leading Sara to suggest to Emo, hey, why not perform with us? It turns out that when Meltic Star was just Anna and Sara, they had considered inviting different members from Miracle Kiiratts to join them. Anna was apparently particularly interested in performing with Emo, Sara discloses. They had prepared songs that they could perform with Mirai and Rinka as well, but the first one they wrote was for Emo!

And so, they invite Emo to perform that song right here, right now!

Emo is a bit freaked out since she doesn't know the song, but Sara insists all she needs to do is study the lyrics and she will be fine. Anna has studied Emo's dancing style and created the moves to fit her perfectly, after all...

So, "Emotic Star" (or "Anna, Sara, Bananas" as Anna calls them, composed of three fellow members of iRis) perform the Valentine song Choco Tea Cocho Heart (a Meltic Star arcade song).

After this performance, the "sadame iine" is maxed. Sadame brings up a special monitor resembling a sliding puzzle showing possible fates of the universe and announces they now have the power to change destiny!

Naturally, the girls are taken aback to find out that this is what they have been performing for all this time. They demand Sadame explain.

And so, Sadame takes them to the superintendent and principal's office, her Sadame Room. Here, Sadame explains how she came to possess a record of the entire history of the universe, past and present.

"Oh? A record? That's what my grandma used to listen to music!" says Emo.

No, not a record. Sadame only uses the latest technology.

A VHS tape.

And it's recorded in extended play!

And, after studying said tape, Sadame had discovered that the disaster that killed the dinosaurs was about to return once more. But this time, a direct hit! Our galaxy, which just happens to be shaped like Kirachu, is about to hit another galaxy, which also happens to be shaped like Kirachu.

The girls are naturally distraught that the entire world is about to be destroyed, but Sadame announces she won't allow it. So, as it turns out, despite her scary appearance and forceful methods, Sadame did not have a nefarious reason for kidnapping the girls at all. She's been trying to save the world through PriChan all along!

Sadame then begins the performance she thinks will save the world (a reprise of her solo from the last show, "Face your Fate").

However, she is unsuccessful as her performance is suddenly interrupted as the two galaxies seem set to collide! Sadame is distressed as this wasn't supposed to happen, and the curtains close!

But, Mirai steps in to remind her that creating this high school and bringing everyone together was not useless because it allowed them to meet. Emo and Rinka agree with Mirai, and Meltic Star tell Sadame she's given up too soon. Everyone chimes in with the usual PriChan spirit of not giving up, and giving everything a try!

After a quick intermission with the mascots, we return to find the negative Kirachu galaxy (which Emo nicknames Urachu) has appeared on the horizon. Maria tries to push it away with cuteness only for Suzu to inform her she's just gonna pull it in it closer!

Sadame falls to her knees, lamenting that everything she did was useless.

Mentioning this brings up all their old PriChan memories, which were also included on the VHS tape. Emo and Mirai reminisce about their debut with Ready Action and what the song means to them. They were scared, but they had to try, and this song cheered them on.

"Let's do it! Let's try!" says Mirai as she holds out her hand to Sadame.

Sadame takes her hand, and the two perform Ready Action!!

Sadame's sadame meter is full, but she knows she will just fail like last time if she tries again. They need a way to collect even more iine. More than ever before.

Just as everyone is feeling down, they hear a voice from above. It's Alice! And Eve! They have been keeping tabs on the situation but due to a time lag, were just a little late in contacting them. They inform them with the use of Mel's parents' technology and a special performance on a special stage, they can change sadame iine into galaxy iine! However, they need to be in view of the Earth (the school is on the dark side of the moon).

Solulu and Luluna then appear to help as well (Note: Alice, Eve, Solulu, and Luluna don't have models, they are just communicating on a screen with static images) and send the girls their Illuminage coords. Miracle Kiratts performs, which sends everyone traveling on a shooting star to where they need to be!

(Or so we hear, in another intermission with the mascots.)

The mascots, with the help of mascot Daia, change into their idol forms and go to help as well!

Then, with no segway whatsoever, we are with Anju. Anju performs Fortune Karat in space.

Meanwhile, the other girls have arrived closer to the earth, where they need to be to accomplish the performance that will gather everyone's galaxy iine and change destiny.

I'd like to note that, although Sadame does not get an Illuminage coord, she's like... significantly more sparkly now.

Also, the girls realize the stage they have arrived on is actually Hakucho, Anju's mascot, transformed! So that's what Anju was doing? GoGo Mascots and the other Daia arrive too! Together they form the supergroup, Super Galaxy Miracle Star!

A group which can change destiny!

Super Galaxy Miracle Star performs the musical theme, High School Challenger (third performance of this song overall).

(Wait, I just noticed that even though they made a point about her showing back up, mascot Daia wasn't in this performance?? ??????)

And so, by the power of PriChan and its followers, the Earth, no, the GALAXY is saved once more.

Anju, Alice, and Eve reflect on the power of PriChan and Alice and Eve hope to perform with Solulu and Luluna someday. Anju tells them that the future exists to give us possibilities.

Sadame apologizes for her forceful ways of getting everyone involved in all of this, but they all forgive her since, after all, they had fun! They thank Sadame, saying they could not have done it without her. But Sadame says she should be thanking them for teaching her about the real power to change the universe (giving everything a try)!

The others ask Sadame if she is going to return to the school (to which transportation is fixed now, I forget at what point the robot got broken...), and she says of course. She is, after all, the superintendent, the principal, the student council president, the culture festival chair... (etc).

The other girls will all be returning back to their own respective high schools on Earth, but they decide this isn't goodbye. They are all connected by PriChan!

Sadame, who still feels responsible for the fate of the universe, will return to studying the updated VHS but also go on a journey to the center of the universe. Surely, she will discover the secret of the fate of everything there!

The others question if that is possible, but she reminds them what they taught her. You'll never know if you don't try!

The curtains close as Sadame is sure they will meet again!

The curtains open again with the girls back in their respective high school uniforms, ready to again try and perform the musical they were trying to perform in the last show before Sadame interrupted by kidnapping them and bringing them to space. But this time the mascots are with them too!

Suddenly, they hear something. Could it be...?

It turns out Sadame has given up on embarking on her journey... by herself. Instead, she will be using Hakucho, who can apparently travel faster than the speed of light and communicate back virtually.

So, now Sadame can visit whenever she wants! Except she does still have responsibilities at her school. She, after all, is the superintendent, the principal, the school council president... And she does have to analyze the data from Hakucho as well.

For now though, she is here! And will participate in the musical as well! It's her destiny!

And so, the curtains close for the final time as the real musical supposedly begins...

The end.

What a wonderful little thing. It was nice to be able to check in on everyone during their high school life, and meet a completely new PriChan idol character. You may have been able to tell already by reading this, but I really liked Sadame's arc, and seeing her finally smiling and enjoying herself performing with Mirai was my favorite part! Also, they threw a whole lot of fanservice for Emo/Anna shippers in here as well hehe.

I hope they keep doing these virtual musicals! I wouldn't be surprised if PriMagi or King of Prism is next!

the following is an excerpt from The First Voyage Round the World / Pigafetta's Account of Magellan's Voyage - Antonio Pigafetta, chronicler of Magellan's voyage to circumnavigate the globe, translated by Lord Stanley of Alderley

To explain the kind of fruits above-named it must be known that the one which they call cochi, is the fruit which the palm trees bear. And as we have bread, wine, oil, and vinegar, proceeding from different kinds, so these people have those things proceeding from these palm trees only. It must be said that wine proceeds from the said palm trees in the following manner. They make a hole at the summit of the tree as far as its heart, which is named palmito, from which a liquor comes out in drops down the tree, like white must, which is sweet, but with somewhat of bitter. They have canes as thick as the leg, in which they draw off this liquor, and they fasten them to the tree from the evening till next morning, and from the morning to the evening, because this liquor comes little by little. This palm produces a fruit named cocho, which is as large as the head, or thereabouts: its first husk is green, and two fingers in thickness, in it they find certain threads, with which they make the cords for fastening their boats. Under this husk there is another very hard, and thicker than that of a walnut. They burn this second rind, and make with it a powder which is useful to them. Under this rind there is a white marrow of a finger's thickness, which they eat fresh with meat and fish, as we do bread, and it has the taste of an almond, and if anyone dried it he might make bread of it. From the middle of this marrow there comes out a clear sweet water, and very cordial, which, when it has rested a little, and settled, congeals and becomes like an apple. When they wish to make oil they take this fruit, the coco, and let it get rotten, and they corrupt this marrow in the water, then they boil it, and it becomes oil in the manner of butter. When they want to make vinegar, they let the water in the cocoa-nut get bad, and they put it in the sun, when it turns to vinegar like white wine. From this fruit milk also can be made, as we experienced, for we scraped this marrow and then put it with its water, and passed it through a cloth, and thus it was milk like that of goats. This kind of palm tree is like the date-palm, but not so rugged. Two of these trees can maintain a family of ten persons: but they do not draw wine as above-mentioned always from one tree, but draw from one for eight days, and from the other as long. For if they did not, otherwise the trees would dry up. In this manner they last a hundred years.

imagine crossing the pacific ocean without knowing what a coconut is, they had to learn about it on the other end of the journey. Also, I love the fact that one of the first things that my people talked about with these strangers was this plant, which goes to show how much we loved these fruits even then. Can confirm, we are still obsessed with coconuts until now.

Noite fria de inverno em agosto

Não lembro exatamente da primeira vez que tomei uma dose de whisky, muito provavelmente foi escondida e do copo de algum desconhecido, mas essa dose não tem tanta importância ao ponto de recordá-la. Porém, lembro exatamente de uma dose de whisky específica que tomei em um bar antigo de Curitiba.

Lembro de toda a noite, aliás, do dia inteiro que a antecedeu, e dos desgraçados dias posteriores.

Aproveitei uma tradicional quarta-feira de happy hour para implorar por atenção e satisfazer minha saudade. Ele, aproveitava da minha companhia, da juventude, e sei lá do que mais... admitido não ter sido a mais incrível das moças aos 18 anos. Mas o importante é que tínhamos um encontro marcado no alemão para tomar submarinos e exibir nosso relacionamento ao mundo. Nunca fui tão feliz!

Nunca fui tão burra!

Nunca amei tanto uma noite fria de agosto.

21h era tempo suficiente para sair da empresa, retocar a maquiagem, pedir a opinião de ao menos três amigas e caminhar alegremente até o Largo, pedir uma mesa, sentar e esperar. Fiz tudo isso e me sentei em uma mesa de um bar 200 metros adiante. Queria poder vê-lo chegar tão belo como sempre, pedir nossa mesa, sentar e me esperar.

Aqui preciso parar um pouco as minhas lembranças e narrar um lugar que fez parte da época mais decisiva da minha vida. Fui bem feliz no Largo da Ordem –e quase fui esfaqueada no mesmo lugar. Lá tudo é velho repaginado, os prédios “novos” possuem ao menos 60 anos, e os velhos, são centenários. O comércio, as igrejas, o cocho de água do cavalo de viajantes e o apoio dos estrangeiros acontecia ali. Acho irônico pensar num grande barão de 1800 e bolinhas construindo uma daquelas belas casas que hoje não passam de bares de qualidade duvidosa. Enfim, essas casas velhas reformadas ainda preservam janelas gigantes que não condizem com o frio e a ventania de um bairro alto de Curitiba. E eu, que ainda amava as noites frias de agosto, sentei em frente uma das grandes janelas daquele bar. Podia observar quando ele chegasse ao Alemão e podia conhecer um novo lugar ao mesmo tempo.

Peguei o cardápio apenas por hábito, pois a mensagem dele era clara: estou chegando. Em poucos minutos estaríamos rindo e dando beijinhos.

Estou chegando, aonde?

Uns 20 minutos depois eu estava refletindo sobre a dificuldade de estacionar no Centro. Em 40 minutos, lembrei de como o trânsito na Linha Verde era complicado naquelas horas.

O frio ficou mais frio, eu juro. O vento começou a incomodar e de longe eu via o Bar do Alemão cada vez mais lotado na parte interna e aconchegante. No bar em que eu estava, era a única cliente ocupando uma mesa, os outros jovens entravam bem alegres, compravam uma bebida quente e saiam pra beber no sereno. Pedi um whisky.

A mesa grande e vazia ficou ainda mais insossa com aquele copo, que quando chegou, me obrigou a me concentrar melhor no ambiente onde estava, e não no Bar do Alemão onde pretendia ir.

O lugar era bonito, saudoso, cadeiras confortáveis (não como uma poltrona do papai, mas superior ao nível dos bares do local), ambiente instagramável antes mesmo desse termo existir, e havia um músico e seu violão.

Eu não havia escutado nada que aquele rapaz tocara durante sei lá quantos minutos que estava ali, mas agora, não conseguia não notar sua presença. Éramos os únicos dois ocupantes do salão do bar, pois os garçons sequer saíam do balcão. E mesmo só, ele tocava. Reproduzíamos a cena do Titanic, quando o barco afundava e os músicos teimavam em tocar. Esse fulano voz e violão era igual.

Dei um gole no whisky que desceu queimando a garganta, e entendi a sua fama, pois em pouco tempo o frio da noite de agosto não incomodava mais. Só me incomodava o fato de ser desprezada mais uma vez por ele, de ser deixada plantada aguardando, de criar expectativas de uma noite perfeita e de ter desejado aquecer o frio de agosto no seu abraço. Sentia ódio dele, e pena de mim mesma.

Volta e meia batia meus olhos tristes no olhar também decepcionado do músico, que muito provavelmente esperava receber um bom couvert naquele dia, o que não ia ocorrer. Hoje penso o quão frustrante é sair numa noite fria para tocar num bar cheio de vagabundos, bêbados e chatos em geral pedindo Raul, esperar a recompensa em forma de uns trocados de couvert, mas se deparar apenas com uma jovem esquisita (mas muito bem arrumada) tomando whisky puro, sentada de frente a maior e mais ventilada janela, conferindo o celular a cada um minuto e prestes a se desmanchar em choro.

E ele fez seu papel no Titanic, buscou no fundo de seu repertório voz e violão algo que me desarmasse de vez e fizesse virar o resto do whisky: e quando eu estiver triste, simplesmente me abrace...

Eu prometi a mim mesma que nunca mais passaria aquilo. E não passei, mas vivi momentos ainda piores, do tanto que às vezes sinto falta de ser um pouco mais nova, apaixonada e iludida ao ponto de esperar o seu amado depois de seis horas de trabalho e quatro horas de aula, numa quarta-feira de um mês de inverno no bairro mais alto da capital mais fria do país, para passarmos bons momentos juntos, mas ao invés disso, ficar plantada tomando whisky e ouvindo Skank.

E eu ainda gosto dessa música! Acho que até a cantarolei antes de ter ido embora um pouco bêbada, um pouco tonta, mas bem leve. E sozinha mesmo, fui ao Alemão criar tradições que preservo até hoje nos meus retornos a Curitiba.
