Main Street

Saki

Listen

This is it. Our show's really happening. I'm so nervous...!

Shiho

Listen

Even after going on and on last night during our group call saying, “I'm so excited! I can't wait!”

Saki

Listen

Because I was!
I'm so excited that my heart's going crazy right now!

Ichika

Listen

I understand how she feels. We walk down this street all the time, but it seems different today for some reason...

Honami

Listen

It shouldn't seem so unfamiliar, but it does. What an odd sensation.

Saki

Listen

What?! You seem totally fine, Hona!

Ichika

Listen

Aren't you nervous...?

Honami

Listen

No, I think I am... But...

Shiho

Listen

But...?

Honami

Listen

We have a lot to do when we get to the live house, right?

Honami

Listen

My head's been occupied by that all since yesterday... That may be why I'm not feeling that nervous or anxious.

Shiho

Listen

Actually, Honami, that makes sense knowing you.

Saki

Listen

Yeah! Hona, I'll help you with all the thinking if you share half of my nervousness!

Honami

Listen

Um, half of it might be a lot...

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. Don't forget about my nervousness, Honami. Here, have as much as you like.

Shiho

Listen

I think she's okay, actually.

Shiho, Ichika, Honami & Saki

Listen

Haha!
Hehe.

Ichika

Listen

Good morning!
We've been looking forward to today for quite some time!

Manager

Yes, so have I.
So, let's get down to business by starting with ticket sales.

Honami

Listen

Yes, here is our reservation list.
I've placed the remaining advance tickets in this envelope.

Manager

Thank you.
I'll use this to update my list.

Honami

Listen

Thank you.
Also, about our timetable and set list...

Saki

Listen

Oh, Ichi, look! Hona's like a cool businesswoman♪

Ichika

Listen

Hehe. I mean, Honami is Honami.

Honami

Listen

I can hear you two...

Saki

Listen

Hehe. We wanted you to hear us♪
Just kidding...!

Honami

Listen

Oh, you...

Staff A

Welcome, Leo/need!

Staff B

We're gonna run a sound check now, right? We'd like to start with the drums, so if you can get ready for us!

Honami

Listen

Okay, be right there!

Shiho

Listen

Um, want me to help?

Staff B

Haha. Thanks, but we should be able to handle it!

Staff A

You're here as a member of Leo/need today, Hinomori. You can leave the checks to us!

Shiho

Listen

Right. Thanks.

Staff A

No problem! You can count on us!

Shiho

Listen

Ichika, Saki, they're probably gonna run a bass check next, so I'll stay here and get ready for that.

Ichika

Listen

Okay. Then, we'll be in the green room.

Saki

Listen

Shiho, Hona, see you in a bit!

Honami

Listen

Okay, see you soon!

Honami

Listen

...

Shiho

Listen

Are you starting to feel nervous...?

Honami

Listen

A little...

Honami

Listen

But that shouldn't be a problem. Our sound check should distract me.

Shiho

Listen

I know. I'm not all that worried about you.

Shiho

Listen

Come to think of it, the sound from your bass drum has felt different lately.

Honami

Listen

Hm? Do you think so?

Shiho

Listen

This is just my gut feeling, but I think it has more presence... You sound clearer and more accurate.

Honami

Listen

Really? But it's not like I've changed my technique or anything...

Shiho

Listen

Anyway, regardless of the actual reason, the way you're currently drumming makes it really easy to play along. Even more than before.

Honami

Listen

...!

Honami

Listen

Thank you so much, Shiho!

Honami

Listen

Oh, were you trying to get me to feel less nervous...?

Shiho

Listen

Not really. I was just telling you what was on my mind.

Honami

Listen

Hehe. I see.

Staff B

The drums are all set!
We're ready to start the sound check!

Honami

Listen

Oh, coming!

Shiho

Listen

Alright, have fun.

Honami

Listen

Yes, I will!
