1

Luka

Listen

Welcome, everyone.
2

Saki

Listen

Hi! We're all ready to practice today!
3

Rin

Listen

Hm?
You sound really excited, Sakki!
4

Saki

Listen

Oh, can you tell?
So...
5

Miku

Listen

That's great. Your friends are really coming to see your show?
6

Rin

Yeah! That explains why you sound so fired up♪
7

Saki

Listen

Because I totally am!
8

Honami

Listen

We've been able to sell tickets without much issue either, which leaves us plenty of time to practice.
9

Ichika

Listen

Right. We'll be able to focus on making this upcoming performance our best one yet.
10

Saki

Listen

Yeah! Let's practice a ton and make this the best show ever!
11

Miku

That's wonderful. I'll be looking forward to that.
12

Shiho

Listen

...
13

Luka

Shiho...?
14

Saki

Listen

Huh? What's wrong?
15

Shiho

Listen

I hate to rain on your parade like this, but I feel like I need to say this...
16

Shiho

Listen

It's good to see that you're all motivated, and I have nothing against that...
17

Shiho

Listen

But it's not good to do anything special just because our friends are coming to see us.
18

Saki

Listen

Anything special?
19

Shiho

Listen

Like pulling all-nighters to practice or trying to throw in a riff you've never done before.
20

Saki

Listen

We'll be fine!
We promise not to push ourselves like that.
21

Saki

Listen

Plus, we're not just playing for Haruka and the others. We have a whole crowd to please!
22

Saki

Listen

We should play in a way that makes it so they can all have fun!
23

Ichika

Listen

I agree.
24

Shiho

Listen

Okay, as long as you all understand.
25

Saki

Listen

Hehe.
26

Saki

Listen

That actually reminds me of something Tsukasa said. “Each performance is its own test.”
27

Luka

Listen

Oh, that's right.
Your brother performs shows for a troupe, yes?
28

Saki

Listen

Yup! I think it was something his hero said during an interview this one time...
29

Saki

Listen

“We may've done countless showings already, but this may be the first and only chance for some members of the audience to see us.”
30

Saki

Listen

“That's why I believe each show is its own test!”
31

Miku

Listen

Were you trying to imitate your brother just now?
32

Saki

Listen

Yeah♪ Pretty good, right?
33

Ichika

Listen

Hmm... It's close, I think...?
34

Honami

Listen

Hehe. You've captured his mannerisms rather nicely.
35

Rin

Listen

That's really interesting. I didn't know your brother was like that, Sakki♪
36

Shiho

Listen

He's much louder than that.
37

Luka

Louder?
38

Shiho

Listen

Yes. He's pretty... No, very obnoxious.
39

Honami

Listen

Sh-Shiho...!
40

Miku

However, I think being able to take each performance so seriously is incredibly important.
41

Miku

Listen

Especially when you're at a time when you're still trying to get your audience to remember who you are.
42

Shiho

Listen

I agree.
43

Shiho

Listen

By leaving a bad first impression on them, we'd have to fight tooth and nail to reverse that.
44

Shiho

Listen

Which also means that we need to put on performances that people want to hear.
45

Saki

Listen

Yeah!
46

Saki

Listen

This is awesome! I feel even more fired up than before!
47

Ichika

Listen

Same. Why don't we get ready to start?
48

Honami

Listen

Okay! Luka, I'll be borrowing the drums again.
49

Luka

Listen

Be my guest. I'll help you set them up.

Miku

You still need to get tuned up, right, Ichika? Mind if I join you?
51

Ichika

Listen

Sure. Actually, Miku, there's this part that I've been meaning to ask you about...

52

Rin

Sakki! We can set up our stuff together♪
53

Saki

Listen

Yeah! Oh, before that...
54

Saki

Listen

Shiho♪
55

Shiho

Listen

Hm?
56

Saki

Listen

Thanks for making sure that we won't push ourselves too hard just now.
57

Saki

Listen

We promise not to, so you have nothing to worry about♪
58

Shiho

Listen

Okay, thanks.
