       Miracle Twin Star (Fujisawa Mikiko, Hirano Midori) 
       
The first group was Miracle Twin Star (Fujisawa Mikiko and Hirano Midori).
They are the two girls who won the idol audition in 2000.
They sang two Ribbon songs, and a new original song that they
wrote themselves, Rustic Girl.

The second group was White Che of Kira Kira Melody Gakuen (Nagai
Nobuko, Sawai Natsumi, Sakurai Sara). White Che was wearing their
white, pink, and blue one piece outfits. Natsumi's hair was a very
light yellow. 

White Che sang four Kira Melo songs and a medley of jpop songs, so
they were on stage much longer than the usual Kira Melo stage (around
35 minutes instead of 20 minutes). Nobuko said that she was the leader
of White Che for the day. 

  - Who's No.1 (White Che) 
  - Yell (White Che) 
  - Happy Wake Up! (Nobuko) 
  - Believe (Sara) 
  - My Sweet Darlin (Natsumi) 
  - Pride (White Che) 
  - Daisuki (White Che) 

The first song was Who's No.1, the new Kira Melo group song. The
standing position was Sara on the left, Nobuko in the middle, and
Natsumi on the right. They were in this position for most of the
songs. During the pipe part of Who's No.1, Nobuko got a green pipe and
"played" it. (It was already recorded on the karaoke track.) During
the talk part, Natsumi talked in a very high voice. It wasn't like her
at all. 

Then they sang their debut (and only) song, Yell. 

Then they sang a medley of jpop songs. Nobuko was first, singing Happy
Wake Up! I think this song was hard for her, as she usually doesn't
sing fast modern songs like this. Next was Sara singing Believe [by
Folder 5]. This was a fast dance song, and Sara danced a lot while
singing. Sara pulled it off very well, and I keep getting surprised by
Sara's singing ability. Natsumi was last, singing My Sweet Darlin.
Natsumi sang it in a very high voice, so I was very surprised. It was
a voice I had never heard before. 

I was surprised by the choice of songs for this medley. I was
expecting them to sing older idol songs, but they came with the newer
songs. They said that these were songs that they usually don't sing,
so they had to practice a lot for it. 

After the medley, they made a few announcements. Sara announced that
they will have some Dear+Palette+Che campaign events from 2/10 to
2/12 in Nagoya and kansai. Sara and Natsumi were going to participate
in those. Natsumi announced that there will be a Kira Kira Melody
Gakuen photo collection fair at Animate Ikebukuro from 2/13 to 2/16
(all weekdays). Nobuko announced that six of the Kira Melo girls will
be doing roles in the game KONOHANA: True Report, which goes on sale
at the end of April. She said that they also sang the ending song of
the game. 

The last two songs by White Che were Pride and Daisuki. Nobuko was the
lead singer and sang most of Pride. For Daisuki, the standing position
was Nobuko, Sara, Natsumi (from left to right). 

The next singer was Tanaka Hiromi, who sang 4 songs. Then Akino Hitomi
sang 5 songs to end the event.
