On September 7th, Stand-Up! Hearts’ 1st anniversary concert was held at Shibuya O-WEST. The group was formed as younger sister group of Afilia Saga 1 year ago and even not real idol group called “Kenkyusei” (trainee), however, the situation changed and they became to take new step on that day.
9月7日，Stand-Up! Hearts 在涉谷的O-WEST 舉行了一週年記念演唱會。Stand-Up! Hearts(下稱 Hearts)為Afilia Saga的姐妹團體，於一年前以”偶像研究生”身分出道。而在9月7日，她們迎來了團體的新階段。

The concert was started with “Triangle Wave”, the cover song of anisong singer Ayumi Murata. After the song they had self introduction part and played “NEXT STAGE!”,“May I help you?”, and “Tenbu no Mai, Akatsuki no Mon”.
演唱會以翻唱動漫歌手 – 村田步(村田あゆみ)的 “Triangle Wave” 揭開序幕。之後成員逐一向台下觀眾自我介紹，並連續獻唱””NEXT STAGE” “May I help you?” 以及 “天武的舞、曉之門”三曲。

For Momoko Naruse, it was the last day to be the member of Stand-Up! Hearts, as she was announced to move to Afilia Saga. Singing “Happiness!” altogether, some members couldn’t stop crying for the sadness, however, it was impressive that Momoko never showed sad face during the performance. Receiving pink pretty bouquet by the members parting from that day, Momoko deeply thanked fans and the other members, and left the stage to start her new life as a member of Afilia Saga.
而這場演唱會也是於早前宣佈將昇格至Afllia Saga的成員 – 成瀨桃子以Hearts身份進行的最後一場表演。演唱”Happiness!”一曲時，部分成員忍不住掉下了不捨的淚水，相反桃子一直帶著笑容進行表演，讓人留下深刻的印象。而桃子亦從即將離別的成員手中收到了粉色的花束。桃子表示衷心感謝支持者們，以及其他成員，及後回到後台準備展開Afilia Saga成員的生涯。

Seeing Momoko off with a little bit of sorrow, new Stand-Up! Hearts members performed the cover song of Afilia Saga “Kyouiku Teki Shidou!” for the first time.
成員們帶著些許傷感，首次披露了翻唱自Aflifa Saga的 “教育的指導”。

To celebrate their sister’s 1st anniversary, Afilia Saga was there as the guest performer. Adding a new member Momoko Little Berry (Momoko Naruse) who had just graduated Stand-Up! Hearts, Afilia Saga appeared the stage and performed “Baisoku Renai Dokei”, “SURVIVE!!”, “Tenkou Girl”, “Sepia”, “Japonesque×Romanesque”, and “Houkago Romance”. Of course the amount of the experience and the color of the group are different, Afilia Saga showed their matureness. It maybe fancy, but Momoko Little Berry looked different from when she was at Stand-Up! Hearts.
於演唱會中段，前輩 Afilia Saga以表演嘉賓身分，慶祝Hearts 迎來一週年紀念。而剛從Hearts 畢業的成瀨桃子，亦隨即以Momoko Little Berry身分登場，並表演了”倍速戀愛時計” “SURVIVE!!” “轉校Girl”
“Sepia” “Japonesque X Romanesque” 以及 “放課後Romance” 。而Afilia Saga 在表演時帶出與Hearts 不同的成熟感，不思議地 Momoko亦展現出與以前不同的另一面。

Here special collaboration happened. Stand-Up! Hearts joined Afilia Saga and performed Afilia Saga East’s addicting song “Knee High Egoist”. The stage was too small for 23 members to dance, however it was pretty heartwarming that one Afilia member and one Hearts member made a pair to sing together with one hand microphone.
其後，Hearts 與Afilia Saga成員一同表演了名曲 – “Knee High Egoist”。雖然小小的舞台不足以容納23名成員在台上跳舞，但也因此構成了兩隊的成員交錯並排，同時手執麥克風演唱，溫馨的一幕。

Afilia Saga left the stage and it was Stand-Up! Hearts’ turn again. Performed “Opera Fantasista”, “Sorairo Days”, and “Soukoku no Spica”, the members expressed their thought. Yuyu Arata said she wanted to have their original songs. Actually, Stand-Up! Hearts don’t have original songs yet as they were in the position of “idol trainee”. Songs they have been performing are the cover song of Afilia Saga or the songs composed by their producer Chiyomaru Shikura. Followed Kazune Manami, she also talked she wanted original songs and wished to go oversea performance again like they did in France for Japan Expo 2015 on July.
舞台重新交回Hearts手上。於表演了”Opera Fantasista” “空色Days” 及 “蒼黑的Spica” 三曲後，成員們開始表達自己的想法。新Yuyu 提到她希望Hearts 能有自己的原創歌曲。因作為”偶像研究生”，Hearts一直翻唱前輩 Afilia Saga 以及制作人 – 志倉千代丸所創作的歌曲。接著舞波和音亦提到想擁有原創歌曲，並希望能像今年7月在法國舉行的Japan Expo般，再次在海外進行表演。

On the very moment they were ready for the last song “Drawing Again” and the music played, suddenly the melody of “Happy Birthday to You” was played. The members totally got upset for the unannounced happening, and Afilia Saga’s Yukafin Doll and Maho Sotto Voce appeared. In Yukafin’s hand, there was a letter from Chiyomaru Shikura. Yukafin and Maho didn’t know what was written in the letter.
在響起最後一首歌曲”Drawing Again”的前奏時，音樂突然轉為”Happy Birthday To You”。成員們因這突如其來的安排而面露不安，而兩名Afilia Saga成員 – Yukafin Doll 和 Maho Sotto Voce出現在台上，並手持來自制作人志倉千代丸的信，而兩人均表示不知道信的內容。

Saying “Please think me as Chiyomaru Shikura” and Yukafin started reading out the letter. Actually, there were several surprise announcements. First, it was announced that Stand-Up! Hearts was promoted to real idol unit from “idol trainee”. Secondly, as Yuyu and Kazune wished, making major CD debut in the beginning of the next year was announced! Hearts’ members couldn’t stop crying for this unexpected news at least for few minutes. Yukafin said “We are not sisters, but good rival from now. Please do your best and surpass Afilia Saga in some day!”.
Yukafin 以「請把我想像成志倉千代丸」為開首，並開始朗讀信的內容。首先，Hearts 將會由”偶像研究生”昇格為真正的偶像組合。而成員剛才所提及，希望有原創歌曲的願望亦將於明年初，主流CD出道時所實現。Hearts的成員因這沒有預料的驚喜而紛紛掉下淚水。Yukiafin亦提到「我們不再是姐妹團關係，而是變成了好對手，所以請盡你們最大的努力並在將來超越Afilia Saga！」

Finally ending with “Drawing Again”, Stand-Up! Hearts, they couldn’t stop smiling after cried a lot. The members face expression looked totally different from the beginning. It was the day that new Stand-Up! Hearts was born! Where is the NEXT STAGE? We’ll see!
演唱會的最後，成員們帶著哭泣後無比的笑容表演出”Drawing Again”一曲作結。而成員們的表情亦與演唱會開首時大有不同。在一週年紀念的這一天，同時亦迎來了新生Stand-Up! Heart的誕生！我們亦對Hearts的下一階段拭目以待！
