Part 1
Kanade's Room
Kanade
No, this doesn't sound right either...
It needs to be more like a soft whisper...
It needs to be more like a soft whisper...
Kanade
(It's not the sound I imagined when I made this demo...)
Kanade
(Even after having everyone listen to it in SEKAI...)
Mizuki
Huh? Kanade! Mafuyu!
You two hardly ever come here at the same time!
You two hardly ever come here at the same time!
Mafuyu
I found some time to work...
Also, Kanade wanted to hear what I thought about her new demo.
Also, Kanade wanted to hear what I thought about her new demo.
Kanade
Yes.
We even sent messages to both of you.
We even sent messages to both of you.
Mizuki
Oh, you're right!
We were having so much fun talking that we didn't notice at all...
We were having so much fun talking that we didn't notice at all...
Kanade
(Come to think of it, Mizuki and the others said that they were talking about what happened in the past.)
Kanade
(After Ena and Mizuki joined, more people began listening to our songs as they were turned into music videos.)
Kanade
(Just as when I invited Mafuyu, I'm glad that I invited them to work with us.)
Kanade
Oh, I need to keep working...
Kanade
The demo itself seemed to be going in a good direction... So it could be an issue of some chords not being in the right places...
Kanade
Hm...?
Mafuyu
<K, it's time.>
Kanade
Huh? Oh, she's right...
Kanade
<Sorry for being late, everyone.>
Ena
<You're fine. It's only been like five minutes.>
Mizuki
<What? Whenever I'm even a little late, you always get super mad.>
Ena
<Huh? I'm not gonna feel sad or lonely if someone's late by just five minutes.>
Mafuyu
<Really...?>
Ena
<Really.>
Ena
<Still, K, it's pretty rare for you to be running late. Were you trying to focus just now?>
Kanade
<Oh, um... Yes, sort of...>
Kanade
<I was working on that demo I had you all listen to the other day, but I'm having trouble getting it to sound the way I originally imagined.>
Mizuki
<Oh, that song? I thought it was pretty good when you had us listen to it...>
Ena
<Yeah, same. I was under the impression that you pretty much had a complete picture in your head for it.>
Kanade
<Yes, I thought so too...
I had a good idea of what I wanted to do...>
I had a good idea of what I wanted to do...>
Kanade
<But for some reason, what I had in my head isn't quite meshing with the melody I've been getting. Almost like I've been entering the wrong things...>
Mafuyu
<Is there an issue with the chord progression...?>
Kanade
<That was the first thing I tried tinkering with, but it turned out not to be the case...>
Mafuyu
<I see...>
Ena
<Yuki, isn't there anything you can think of concerning this...?>
Ena
<I mean, you're the only one besides K who actually knows anything about songwriting, right?>
Mafuyu
<...
Mind if I listen to it again, K?>
Mind if I listen to it again, K?>
Kanade
<Yes, of course. You too, Enanan, Amia. Please let me know if anything comes to mind.>
Ena & Mizuki
<Okay!>
Mizuki
<We came up empty in the end...>
Ena
<Sorry, K. I wish we could be of better help...>
Kanade
<No, that's okay. Thanks to all of you, I think I have a better idea of what I need to do.>
Mafuyu
<So, K, the rest is up to you...>
Kanade
<Yes... I'll do my best to come up with some good ideas.>
Mizuki
<Hey, I know!>
Mizuki
<K, there's something I wanna try doing if you don't mind hearing me out. What do you say?>
Kanade
<Huh...?>
