Mizuki

Listen

<Alright...
If you're staying, K, I'll keep doing what I can on my end too.>
11

Mafuyu

Listen

<When do you think she'll finish her illustration...?>
12

Kanade

Listen

<I don't know...>
13

Kanade

Listen

<But we shouldn't release this song without a music video.>
14

Mafuyu

Listen

<Because having a music video makes it more accessible...?>
15

Kanade

Listen

<Yes. As we discussed before, how our songs are interpreted by others can vary wildly based on whether or not we release them with music videos.>
16

Kanade

Listen

<Right now, N25's music absolutely needs both Enanan's art and Amia's videos.>
17

Mizuki

Listen

<K...>
18

Kanade

Listen

<Not only that...
They've helped me quite a lot already.>
19

Mafuyu

Listen

<Huh?>
20

Mizuki

Listen

<What do you mean?>
21

Kanade

Listen

<There are still times when I'm not sure if the songs I compose include 100% of what I'm trying to express or convey...>
22

Mizuki

Listen

<Wait, really?>
23

Kanade

Listen

<Yes. It happens often with demos.
I usually end up asking myself, “This doesn't seem right. What am I missing?”>
24

Kanade

Listen

<That's usually when I take a look at Yuki's lyrics, your storyboards, Amia, or Enanan's art.>
25

Kanade

Listen

<When I do, that's when a lightbulb goes off in my head, and end up saying, “Oh, that's it...”>
26

Mafuyu

Listen

<What we do fills that void...?>
27

Kanade

Listen

<Yes, that's right.
Does that ever happen to you, Yuki?>
28

Mafuyu

Listen

<On occasion...>
29

Mizuki

Listen

<Now that you mention it, you made some changes at the last minute for our most recent song.>
30

Mafuyu

Listen

<I did. I made those changes after seeing the illustration for that song.>
31

Mafuyu

Listen

<But Enanan said, “Why'd you change that part? I actually kinda liked it.”>
32

Kanade

Listen

<Oh, that's right.>
33

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, seeing Enanan go on her tirade after that was pretty funny.>
34

Kanade

Listen

<She must've felt so conflicted.
She drew that illustration based on lyrics that she liked, but those lyrics ended up changing because of her.>
35

Mizuki

Listen

<I know, right? At the same time, those changes were for the better, so I heard some joy mixed in with her anger.>
36

Mafuyu

Listen

<Enanan was so hard to deal with that day.>
37

Mizuki

Listen

<Haha! I definitely don't recommend saying that to her face, Yuki.>
38

Mafuyu

Listen

<I won't. I know it'll just make things worse.>
39

Kanade

Listen

<...>
40

Kanade

Listen

<Still, this is why I think Enanan has more of an effect on us than she realizes...>
41

Mafuyu

Listen

<I agree...>
42

Mafuyu

Listen

<Our videos usually go up late because Enanan takes so much time with her illustrations.>
43

Mizuki

Listen

<Whoa, time out! Another big no-no!!>
44

Mafuyu

Listen

<I know.>
45

Kanade

Listen

<To her credit, Enanan's usually late because she always says, “I can still do a little better.”>
46

Mizuki

Listen

<Yeah, it's never because she's out slacking off or doing something else...>
47

Mizuki

Listen

<She just keeps trying and trying to make it as good as possible.>
48

Kanade

Listen

<Exactly. People like us have the option of thinking, “That's good,” or, “That'll do.”>
49

Kanade

Listen

<Chiefly because there's no real “right answer” in terms of what we do.>
50

Mafuyu

Listen

<No one knows the right answer.
You just have to keep going until you're satisfied.>
51

Kanade

Listen

<Right...>
52

Kanade

Listen

<But just waiting around doesn't feel right...>
53

Mafuyu

Listen

<I disagree. Don't you think we owe Enanan at least that...?>
54

Kanade

Listen

<Huh?>
55

Mafuyu

Listen

<No matter what happens, she always finds a way to create something that works for us in the end.>
56

Kanade

Listen

<Hehe. That's true too...>
57

Mizuki

Listen

<Yup♪ Nice one, Yuki!>
58

Mafuyu

Listen

<Is it? I was just talking about what's happened in the past.>
59

Mizuki

Listen

<Anyway, I'm gonna keep looking for materials that match Yuki's lyrics♪>
60

Kanade

Listen

<I'll keep working on the demo I had us all hear in SEKAI.>
61

Mafuyu

Listen

<I'll go back to working too.
Talk to you later.>
