In every darkness there is a song that shines

[Here's a room at the inn. On the bed, there are eight Pokémon eggs. There's also one of the happy mothers, an Altaria, next to the eggs, looking after them.

After a while, the camera turns to show Ren. He looks cheerful, somehow, though most likely not only because of the eggs.]

I decided to try breeding my Pokémon and as a result I have eight eggs to sell. They won't be too expensive, since I just need some money to get myself back on the track.

[Why's that? Well, he's not about to tell his life story here so you might have to ask yourself, if you're interested.]

There are a few Houndour and Swablu eggs as well as a Dratini, an Oshawott and a Mienfoo egg. All of them should have some egg moves with them. The Oshawott at least will know Surf right away.

[But that's about that. He has something else to say as well.]

I have been thinking that it would be nice to hold another concert. The one on April was a huge success and I'm sure many people enjoyed it as much as I did.

Since last time we sang in Johto, how about Kanto this time? Do contact me if you're interested.

[There's a small wink before he ends the video.]

(ooc: There are still some eggs left for anyone interested.)

[Today's video is brought to you from a park in Saffron City. Hijirikawa is already there and he's joined by Ren, who greets the viewers with a small wave of the hand.]

Good afternoon, everyone. A year ago today I arrived to Johto. I wish to give you all a song in honor of that... [He winks and then turns to look at the other guy.] That's why I've asked Hijirikawa to help me... is there anything you want to say?

[Is there anything he wants to say? He looks oddly pensive before a soft smile forms on his face and he nods.]

By the nature of this world, people come and go all the time, and the ones who have left us will be missed. To a very dear friend of mine, Mitsuki, and to all of you who are missing someone, I hope this song brings a bit of cheer to you.

[Ren kept smiling, even if he was smirking on the inside. So that's how it was, Hijirikawa.]

I would like to dedicate this song to the same people, but also for the love of my life. That's right, I'm no longer single... but who my girlfriend is, is a secret. [Another wink.]

Well then, shall we start?

[After nods of agreement, Ren puts the music on.]

Ah, it's so strange… I love you so much, it's unbearable! The dream we've found is beginning to move!

Even on freezing weather days, it seems so extremely sweltering. On hot days too
In these mutual temperatures, my heart becomes even more refreshed. I want you! I love you!

Whenever this true loveliness appears before me, surely no one else can possibly match it!

Ah, it’s so strange… I love you so much, it’s unbearable! Only this feeling remains!
More, more, more, I can feel this heat!
Always, always, always, I just believe in you!
(full lyrics)

[After the song ends, they both make a small bow to thank the audience.]

Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed and be sure to look forward to any and all future concerts.

[Ren sends a flying kiss towards the screen as they close the gear.]
