...which is not enough to beat Togonistan, which makes Togonistan the winner of the 7th Junior World Hit Festival!

The Togonistanian crowd celebrates in the arena as well as the performers who receive the hugs of everybody else as they are near-incredulous for their win. Celebratory seis chorreao plays as Samaria hugs the Three Kings awaiting her with a medal. The medals are shiny and sparkly, made with pure gold and covered with the logo of this year's contest. They also contain engravings of all the thirteen countries that competed in the contest, with the Achaean Republic taking a prominent spot in the middle. But now Samaria gets to enjoy her victory and sing her song one last time. At least she finally learned how to say "Gracias" in Spanish.

Samaria makes herself to the stage and receives a hug from the presenter as well. Behind them, the LED "houses" change colors to show the Togonistanian flag as confetti falls from the roof and the crowd celebrates.

"And we thank you so much for joining us in this beautiful evening! We appreciate all the countries that have broadcast this amazing festival throughout the Multiverse. We thank our producers, students, volunteers, medics, nurses, nuns, community leaders, teachers, police members, firefighters, and everybody else who made this dream come true for Togonistan and the rest of the nations. This has been an amazing evening filled with surprises, and even more for our winner, Samaria, who will get to sing her song again!

"Until next time, this has been the Seventh Junior World Hit Festival from Juana Díaz and Urbania in the Achaean Republic. ¡Muchas gracias por venir, y que siga reinando la música en nuestras vidas! Thank you so much for coming, and may music continue to reign in our lives! Buenas noches!"

The camera glances back to Samaria in center stage, awaiting to perform her song again.

Togonistan
Samaria - "Karore"

Title Translation: Immortal
Language(s): Togoni-Maori
Tune: Anna Blue - Unbroken
Lyrics: Samaria Matautia
Music: Mariota Uta'i, Samuelu Leniu

Samaria Matautia is a 15-year old musician from Ascendia, Togonistan. She was chosen through an internal selection by Lucky 7 to represent Togonistan in the 7th Junior World Hit Festival. Being relatively unknown to the larger audience, JWHF is going to be the very first performance for Samaria on a big stage. ''I am very glad to have given the opportunity to take part in Junior World Hit Festival. Karore is my very first song ever and we made it with a few friends pretty much for fun, I wouldn't have submitted my song to Lucky 7 if it wasn't for my friends at school who heard the demo version. Someone came up with the idea and we decided to go for it.'' Samaria said during an interview given to a local newspaper. According to her, the song was inspired by history of the ancient Togoni tribal warriors. ''Yeah, I guess you can call me a bit of an history nerd, haha. I like the early history about Togoni people and how they believed their spirit animals can given them power and even make them immortal. This is where I got the idea for the lyrics from.''

Throughout the performance, Samaria is standing on the stage, wearing a warrioress outfit consisting of black and grey top with a hood, black leggings and tall black leather boots. Background screens start displaying graphics of grey mess flashing on a black background.

Tu ki runga
Ko ta tatou whenua tenei
Iwi e hikoi huara
Whai muri ta raatau kahei

Kei a ahau haere tonu
Ahakoa reira nui hinengaro
He maia toa ahau
Kaore tetahi mamae ahau

Stage lights up a bit more during the chrous, camera focuses on Samaria as she sings.

Na te mea ko ahau ka haere karore
Kaore tetahi whati ahau
He maia toa ahau ka matatoa
Whai muri ta ahau ara

Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau
Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau
Karore

Lights on the stage tone down again for the next chorus.

Ite i te mana
Tu tatou te taha-taha
Whakakotahi kia tahi
Whai muri ta tatou ara

Kei a ahau haere tonu
Ahakoa reira nui hinengaro
He maia toa ahau
Kaore tetahi mamae ahau

Samaria does some hand gestures.

Na te mea ko ahau ka haere karore
Kaore tetahi whati ahau
He maia toa ahau ka matatoa
Whai muri ta ahau ara

Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau
Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau

The stage goes dark during the bridge.

Immortal describes someone, who will never die. Immortal can refer to a supernatural being who is worshipped by others, or is a divinity or God in human form, like the gods of certain ancient mythologies.

A single spotlight lands on Samaria, who looks at the camera while singing.

(Na te mea ko ahau ka haere karore)
Kaore tetahi whati ahau
Whai muri (He maia toa ahau ka matatoa)
ta ahau ara

The stage lights up again, as Samaria sings the final part of the song. She does hand gestures.

Na te mea ko ahau ka haere karore
Kaore tetahi whati ahau
He maia toa ahau ka matatoa
Whai muri ta ahau ara

Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau
Ko ahau ka haere karore, karore, karore nau
Karore, karore
Karore, karore
Karore

Samaria lowers her head as the song ends. Crowd applauds to her, as Samaria says ''Thank you everyone!'' and leaves the stage.

CLARIFICATION FROM AS1 AND TVS

We apologize for the inconvenience at this time. Upon closer scrutiny of our votes, we noticed an inconsistency with Skanden's votes. Instead of 9 points, Skanden actually received 10 jury points, as well as 11 televote points that sum up to 21 total points, tying with Llalta. This does not change the results, however, as Llalta has received more jury points than Skanden and, thusly, is ranked first.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for this mistake, and we hope to keep this in mind for future hostings of the World Hit Festival.

Cordially,

AS1 and TVS
