Then, we'll go with this date.
Manager
Alright, Leo/need now has a venue booked for their solo show...

Manager
Next, you'll have to start working on all the other preparations for it. Between rehearsals and gathering your audience, I know it's gonna be a lot, so I wish you good luck.
Manager
Don't worry about that.
I'm just happy that I get to be a part of your very first solo show, Hinomori.

Manager
I worry about most bands since they usually have trouble turning a profit with a solo show, but I'm much more optimistic about you now, Hinomori...
Manager
Also, here's the equipment list...
Actually, you probably have everything memorized already, don't you...?

Manager
And here are the papers you'll need to fill out, including the ones for your timetable and stage layout.
Manager
I'm guessing that your band still doesn't have a finalized set list yet, but we'll want that sooner rather than later.
Shiho
Understood.
I'll tell the others about that and try to get it to you as quickly as possible.

Okay.
Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Anyway, why don't you get started with work? Our act for today should be here soon.

Shiho
I still have some time before I have to get their equipment set up, so I'll take a quick look at these papers...

Shiho
Let's see... We'll need to write up a member list, a stage layout and a timetable... I'll give these to Honami tomorrow...
Shiho
We'll be playing a lot more songs than usual, so we're gonna need to also think about what effects we want to use...
Shiho
Since it's gonna be just us, we can come up with a more intricate sound scheme. It might be nice to have Ichika's guitar solos stand out more.
Shiho
However, above all else, this is gonna be about the way we perform... We'll need to practice like we really mean it.
Staff A
Hey, Hinomori!
Do you remember which amps the second band's gonna use for their guitar?

Staff B
Hey, Shiho, I heard from the manager that Leo/need's doing a solo show! Is that true?
Staff A
Wait, really?! Where?!
Staff A
Seriously...?!
Whoa! Leo/need's finally doing a show all by themselves...

Shiho
I honestly thought that we still weren't ready to do one, but we decided to go for it...
Staff B
No way. You're totally ready!
I mean, you girls are so good now!

I agree.
You were all really good to start, but it's amazing how far you've come recently.

Staff B
Hey, I get that you're proud of them, but you're putting a lot of pressure on Shiho.
Staff A
Of course I'm proud!
They're even playing here! That means we need to do our absolute best for them as the staff!

Staff B
True. It is their very first solo show, so I get why you're so excited to help them out!
Staff B
So, Shiho, are there any specific effects that you wanna use? You can use all the lights and smoke as you like!
Shiho
What you do for the other bands should be more than enough. I'd rather we not be given any special treatment...
Staff B
Hehe. We're offering because you're all so modest and have an incredible work ethic.
Staff A
Exactly.
And Hinomori, you work so hard here and are a great sub.

Staff B
Not only that, your band produces great songs and each member's really nice. It's only natural for us to feel more motivated than usual.
Staff B
Hehe.
Anyway, as Leo/need fans, we want to give your band as much support as we can.

Staff A
Right. So, don't hesitate to ask us for anything. Let us help you put on the best show possible.
Shiho
(I didn't realize that we had such valuable supporters hiding right under our noses...)
