Saki

Let's see, the Free Cluster corner should be... Oh, here it is!

2

Shiho

The top part is all their CDs, so this must be all their DVDs...

3

Ichika

They have so many DVDs of their shows.

4

Honami

We should watch as many of them as we can for our research.

5

Shiho

Yeah. It's research too, but I also want to see what Free Cluster's shows are like before we open for them.

6

Shiho

Still, there's no way we're gonna be able to get through all of these. We need to choose the best ones for us.

7

Saki

In that case... Oh, what about this one?!
It's filmed at the same arena we'll be playing!

8

Ichika

Yeah, let's buy that.
It should help us get a good idea of what things are going to be like when we take the stage.

9

Shiho

One of their more recent shows would also be nice. I wanna see what they're like currently.

10

Honami

Their most recent one is... This one?
Oh, it even includes some bonus footage.

11

Honami

There's a video of them rehearsing, and there's also an interview about the show.

12

Ichika

A video of them rehearsing...?
That might help us get a good understanding of the arena's acoustics and such.

13

Shiho

And the interview should let us hear what they focused on while planning their show.

14

Saki

Yeah! Let's learn as much as we can about all this stuff together!

15

Saki

Still, an interview...

16

Saki

Hey, someday when we release a DVD like this, do you think we'll get to record an interview like them?

17

Ichika

Yeah, it's pretty standard as far as bonus footage goes...

18

Saki

Then, if we include an interview as bonus footage for our very first DVD, what would you guys wanna talk about?

19

Shiho

Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?

20

Saki

What?! No, I'm not!
Thinking about this now might help us in the future!

21

Honami

True, this could help with magazine interviews and such.

22

Ichika

Then, I'd probably want to talk about Miku.
She's special to us personally, not to mention an integral part of Leo/need's music.

23

Honami

That's very like you, Ichika. I think that's great.

24

Honami

In my case...
I'd probably want to talk about what makes you all so great.

25

Honami

I think anyone going out of their way to watch interviews would be very interested in learning more about us as people.

26

Shiho

That's a little embarrassing, but it's not a bad idea.

27

Saki

And I'll tell everyone all about what an amazing person you are, Hona!

28

Honami

Thank you, Saki.
So, what would you discuss during our interview?

29

Saki

Me? There's so much I wanna talk about, but I'd probably start by discussing our songs!

30

Saki

Because they mean so much to us, and we all invested a ton of time and effort into them!

31

Ichika

Yeah, I agree.

32

Saki

Oh, and for the interview, how cool would it be to sit in big chairs while wearing sunglasses and stuff like movie stars?♪

33

Shiho

It's probably best to just be ourselves.

34

Saki

No, you don't get it!
It's important to act like we're a big deal!

35

Saki

Anyway, Shiho, what would you talk about during our interview?

36

Shiho

I'll pass.

37

Saki

No, you can't do that!
It's your turn to talk now!

38

Honami

I agree. Imagine all the people you'd disappoint by being the only one not to say anything.

39

Shiho

Not you too, Honami...

40

Shiho

Fine...
I'd talk about the history of Leo/need.

41

Ichika

The history of Leo/need?

42

Shiho

Yeah. I'd start with how we got our band back together during our first year of high school, decided to try going pro together, practiced like there was no tomorrow...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

43

Shiho

Put on a successful solo show, and actually turned pro. I'd also mention our commercial, our first appearance at a big festival and all the other challenges we've taken on.

44

Shiho

Oh, also...

45

Shiho

How we got to open for Free Cluster.

46

Ichika

Oh...

47

Shiho

I don't know what's gonna happen moving forward.

48

Shiho

But when we look back on all this sometime in the future, I feel like this next show is going to be a real turning point for us.

49

Honami

Yes, I agree.

50

Saki

It'll be our big chance for us to reach a new level as a band!

51

Ichika

Let's do our best to make that happen.
So we can talk about how we faced a massive challenge and came out of it stronger.

52

Saki

For now, let's start by watching these DVDs!

53

Ichika

Right. We should keep an eye out for things that we can take in for ourselves.

54

Honami

I'll put together a schedule leading up to our lesson with Ms. Naruse. That should make it easier for us to come up with a detailed set of goals.

55

Shiho

Thanks, Honami.

56

Shiho

Let's do everything we can.
First, we need to improve the way we play so that we're able to put on the perfect performance for Ms. Naruse.

57

Honami, Saki & Ichika

Right!
