Miku

Listen

The girls are improving so much.

Miku

Even just from the backing track they recorded, I can feel how strongly they want to make the solo show a success.

Miku

Hehe. Shiho is especially on her game.

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

(The way things are going, I'm sure they're on track for a great solo show.)

Miku

Listen

(But even then, I know they won't stop there.)

Miku

(They're going to keep perfecting their performance until the last second.)

Miku

I want to help them more.

Miku

Listen

Okay. I'll play it again from the start.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Miku

(I'll note down any comments or points for improvement and tell the girls later.)

Miku

Listen

(Oh... This part here.
Ichika said she felt like it lacked cohesion somehow.)

Miku

(Could it be that it's slightly off-beat? Or is the sound muddy?)

Miku

Let's listen one more time.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Miku

Listen

(Honami's drum beat is steady.)

Miku

(She's drumming with power and confidence...
And it feels as if she's adding her own personality to it.)

Miku

(Although, she could probably hit the kick drum with more strength for this part...)

Miku

Listen

I know! I'll ask MEIKO and Luka what they think.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Sound Effect: Play

Luka

Listen

Yes, I agree. It wouldn't hurt to hit the kick harder during that part.

MEIKO

Listen

Also, I think she could polish up the syncopated beat just before that.

MEIKO

That way, she'll create a nice contrast when the kick comes in.

Miku

Listen

I see...
Polish up...the syncopated...

Sound Effect: Play

Luka

Miku, what are you doing?

Miku

I'm making notes of issues I've noticed or parts that could be even better.

Miku

Listen

That way, I'll remember them for the girls' next practice.

Miku

And that should do it! Thanks, you two!

MEIKO & Luka

You're welcome.
You're very welcome!

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Listen

(I'm glad I got their input. It makes sense that someone who plays an instrument regularly would spot things I wouldn't.)

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Oh, that sound... It's Rin and the others.

Miku

Oh yeah. They might also have some insight on today's practice...

Miku

Listen

While I'm here, I should go ask them!

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Listen

Phew...
I got so much good input from Rin and the others.

Miku

They were saying that Saki is rushing ahead in places, and...

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Wait, what? Where's that sheet of notes?

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Listen

This sheet is MEIKO and Luka's advice... This one is KAITO's...

Miku

That's weird. There should be one more...

???

Listen

Here you go.

Sound Effect: Play

Miku

Listen

Oh...! That's it! How did it get...here...?

KAITO

You dropped it, so we came to give it back.

Miku

KAITO! And Rin and Len, too!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Rin

Listen

Silly Miku-P. It'd be such a waste to go losing your notes after working so hard on them.

Len

Listen

It really would. We were really shocked when we found them, you know.

KAITO

Listen

“We”? I was the one that found them. Well, that isn't important...

KAITO

Anyway, we need to talk to you, Miku...

Miku

Listen

Talk to me?

KAITO

Listen

Yes. We were wondering whether we should all give advice to the girls together...

Rin

Yeah♪ We want to help them pull off an amazing show just as much as you!

Len

Yeah. You don't need to put this all on yourself. We're with you!

Miku

You guys...

Miku

Listen

But, this is just something like a personal project of mine...

???

Listen

That's exactly what I'd call putting it all on yourself.

Miku

MEIKO! Luka!

Luka

Listen

The two of us talked after you left, and we thought of many other pointers we wanted to share with the girls.

Luka

So, could you include us too?

Miku

...

Miku

Listen

There's no helping it. Well then, I guess we can all work on this together.

Rin

Listen

Woohoo!

Rin

Hey, Len and KAITO! Let's share what we talked about just now♪

Miku

I have a pen and paper ready. Tell me everything.
