"Thank you so much Kaapo, what a fantastic opening for the show! Why don't you all give him another round of applause!"
The audience indulges her and erupts back into applause, Anya waiting for it to die down a bit before speaking.
"Hello, world, hei! Welcome back to Tödlichebujoku, it's been what, about 30 editions now? It's been too long, hasn't it! It's great to see you all here tonight in Sinnlichšukai!"
The locals in the crowd whoop and cheer wildly, with a rather more normal cheery reaction from the rest of the audience.
Momoko nods. "A huge thanks and congratulations to VELUNA and Meghan Jorgensen for their hard work last edition! That was such a jaw-dropping voting sequence, and we can only hope to have such an iconic moment again here tonight. We are so excited to present the acts and voting tonight, and we hope you are as well!"
"That's right," Anya adds, "we have some acts that have had quite a journey to get here, such as our own home act Noravas & Álvrüttá Matsuvoka and the Britonish act Shards of Diamonds, along with Letenje from Izmedu who is really topping the charts here in Tödlichebujoku, and we are sure they will all provide quite the show. Meanwhile we have some newcomers and whole new nations like Waisnor and Petroslovania, that we gladly welcome to the Festival." She nods to the mentioned delegations as the audience erupts in cheering.
Momoko smiles. "Now, we all are quite aware of some very stressful and dangerous situations that are happening outside this building and beyond, in many nations, and tonight we hope help you all transcend that fear, to escape reality just for a few hours, and Shine Strong with the power that we all have within us. The power of music unites and strengthens us, and we hope to make an impact, to fuel hope in all of you, and radiate strength for the dark times ahead."
"And with that," both chime in, "welcome to the 51st World Hit Festival and... LET THE CONTEST, BEGIN!"
