Good morning, Kiritani.

Good morning, Hoshino, Tenma.

Saki

Listen

Morning♪
4

Saki

Listen

Let's get right to it, Ichi♪
5

Haruka

Listen

Right to what...?
6

Ichika

Listen

So, Leo/need's going to be participating in a show soon, and we were wondering if you'd like to come see us perform.
7

Haruka

Listen

Oh, thank you for the invitation.
Do you know when you'll be playing?
8

Ichika

Listen

Yes, it should be on the ticket...
Ah, here we go.

Haruka

Listen

Perfect.
We only have practice that day, I should be able to go.
10

Saki

Listen

Really?! That means Minori can also...
11

Minori's Voice

Listen

I can gooo!
12

Ichika

Listen

Was that...?
13

Haruka

Listen

Minori, for sure.
14

Saki

Listen

Haha. I guess Shiho was in the middle of inviting her classmates to our show♪
15

Haruka

Listen

Since Hinomori's already talking to them, I guess I can go ahead and reserve my own ticket now...
16

Ichika

Listen

Thank you, Kiritani.
17

Haruka

Listen

You don't need to thank me. I've been meaning to see your band perform, and I'm sure you have a quota to meet.
18

Saki

Listen

What?! Haruka, you know about ticket quotas?
19

Haruka

Listen

I remember talking to bands on this one music show about having to sell their own tickets when they were just starting out.
20

Haruka

Listen

Feel free to ask if you ever have any left over. I know some people who love going to these kinds of shows.
21

Saki

Listen

Haruka...!
22

Ichika

Listen

Thank you so much! We're just starting out as well, so we'll appreciate any help we can get.
23

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. There is some fun in having to sell things yourself, but having to do that on top of practicing for shows can be tough at times.
24

Ichika

Listen

Does that mean you've had to do this before, Kiritani...?
25

Haruka

Listen

It was CDs instead of tickets in my case.
When ASRUN made its debut, we had to sell CDs at malls and such all by ourselves.
26

Saki

Listen

Really?! There was a time when ASRUN had to do that? I had no idea!
27

Ichika

Listen

Yeah, me neither.
I always thought ASRUN was famous from the start.
28

Haruka

Listen

Well, you're not far off.
Our debut single just happened to become a hit, which sent us soaring up the charts.
29

Haruka

Listen

But I still vividly remember all the shows we did at those malls...
30

Saki

Listen

You do...?
What were they like?
31

Haruka

Listen

I was so nervous at first that I stuttered while introducing myself.
32

Haruka

Listen

But singing made everything more fun and enjoyable. Before we knew it, we'd somehow attracted an audience.
33

Haruka

Listen

I became so elated that I couldn't stop singing and dancing.
34

Ichika

Listen

Oh...

Ichika

Listen

Seeing your music have an effect on someone really is the best feeling in the world.

37

Ichika

Listen

It's so encouraging too.
I always feel like singing even more whenever that happens.
38

Haruka

Listen

Yes, it's that exact feeling.
39

Saki

Listen

I know how that feels too!
40

Saki

Listen

Whenever I see people in the crowd really getting into our music, I can't help but want to make it even more fun for them!
41

Ichika

Listen

Same.
42

Ichika

Listen

And if people we personally sold tickets to are in the audience...
43

Saki

Listen

*Gasp*
It'd be even more amazing!
44

Ichika

Listen

I guess that does make selling tickets more enjoyable.
45

Saki

Listen

Yeah♪
46

Ichika

Listen

Thank you, Kiritani.
47

Ichika

Listen

We'll need to keep doing this for the foreseeable future, and we weren't sure if we'd be able to handle it...
48

Ichika

Listen

But your story's given me hope. I think we'll manage just fine now.
49

Saki

Listen

Yeah, me too!
Thanks, Haruka!
50

Haruka

Listen

Hehe. All I did was give a small taste of my past.
51

Haruka

Listen

But I'm glad I was able to help.
