(to the tune of "DUMDi DUMDi" by (G)I-DLE)
Voices of Unity, a 16-membered co-ed vocal group whose members are of different ethnicities, was to perform the opening act for WorldVision 88. The song that they would perform for this, "Join Us", is an encouraging song that revolves around the theme of unity.
With the group's members at the centerstage position of the WorldVision 88 stage, as the instrumental started playing, the LED screens started showing words such as "Join the fun!" and "Everybody unite!" on a white background. 4 seconds into the song, the LED lights brightened into a bright white color, and white lasers started to be emitted from the stage's perimeter. 9 seconds into the song, as Nathan started singing his part in the first verse, the white lasers stopped being emitted, water jets were emitted from the perimeter, the color of the LED lights changed into a reddish color, and the LED screen showed a blank white picture.
Do you want us to share our feelings with you?
Do you want to experience the fun?
It was then Cheeno's turn to sing. Because of this, the camera zoomed into her face as she sang her lyrics.
'Cause we know that true unity is but a fool
And we don't want you to miss it all
(Come on!)
Don't believe in those liars who think they're cool
'Cause they're dangerous and hateful, y'all
(Join us!)
40 seconds into the song, once Mari started singing the pre-chorus, the camera began showing his face, and the color of the LED screens began to alternate between black and white every 2 seconds. The lights also changed color to white, and began alternating between dimmed and brightened for the same interval as that of the LED screens changing color.
Men, women, sing along now
Boys and girls, sing along now
Old people, sing along now
Young adults, sing along now
As Mari continued to sing, he walked onto the southern position of the stage; the LED screens started showing images of people from all over the world, and the lights started flashing more often.
'Cause you're 'bout to hear what the essence of true unity is
(Join us and have fun!)
Immediately after Mari finished singing his part, he ran back to the centerstage position; 55 seconds into the song, the camera zoomed to show the entire group, the lights stopped flashing and became shining in a purplish color, and more water jets were emitted from the stage's perimeter. In addition, the LED screens began showing random geometric patterns on a white background.
Every man, every lass, every boy, every girl
Everybody, join us and have some fun
Every mom, every dad, every bro, every sis
Everybody, unite together now
After the chorus, the entire group started singing in an ensemble, and the LED screens showed the phrase "Join us!" in a bold font, continually and on an orange background for 15 seconds; along with that, the color of the lights became orange.
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
A minute and 27 seconds into the song, aqua jets were emitted once again, a dance crew arrived on the stage to perform a dance routine, and the song fell into a 33-second-long instrumental-only period, where the content on the LED screens and the colors of the lights would change often. Once that was over, however, Fatima began singing the pre-chorus, and the same things that happened when Mari sang it occurred to the LED screens and lights.
Men, women, sing along now
Boys and girls, sing along now
Old people, sing along now
Young adults, sing along now
As Fatima continued to sing, she walked onto the southern position of the stage; the LED screens started showing images of people from all over the world, and the lights started flashing more often.
'Cause you're 'bout to hear what the essence of true unity is
(Join us and have fun!)
Immediately after Fatima finished singing her part, she ran back to the centerstage position; 2 minutes and 15 seconds into the song, the camera zoomed to show the entire group, the lights stopped flashing and became shining in a purplish color, and more water jets were emitted from the stage's perimeter. In addition, the LED screens showed the same thing as for the first time the chorus came along: random geometric patterns on a white background.
Every man, every lass, every boy, every girl
Everybody, join us and have some fun
Every mom, every dad, every bro, every sis
Everybody, unite together now
After the chorus, the entire group started singing in an ensemble, and the LED screens showed the phrase "Join us!" in a bold font, continually and on an orange background for 15 seconds; along with that, the color of the lights became orange.
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
All of the lights then turned off, and all of the LED screens turned pitch black. The camera then zoomed onto Taewon and Tsumii, and colorful lasers were emitted from the stage's perimeter as the two sang their parts.
Now there's hope you know of unity's true essence
But in case you guys still don't, let me reiterate it
The LED screens then turned white, and as pyrotechnic gerbs were emitted from the stage's perimeter, the lasers stopped being emitted.
Come and join us, hey
(Join us and have fun)
Let's unite!
The phrase "Come on and join us!" then appeared on the LED screens in a bold font and on a white background, and the lights were brightened to emit all sorts of colors.
Come on, join us!
Come on and join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on and join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on and join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
Come on, join us!
Come on and join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on, join us!
Come on and join us!
Come on, join us!
(Join us and have fun!)
After the song had ended, pyrotechnic gerbs and water jets were emitted simultaneously from the stage's perimeter, and Mari yelled loudly through a microphone these words: "You're gonna enjoy this show, folks, so let's get groovin'!" Just after this was said out loud by him, it was almost time for the parade of nations to begin...
(to the tune of "Around" by Hitchhiker x Taeyong)
