Part 1

The day of the solo show

Live House

Shiho

Listen

(We've finished the sound check and all our instruments are ready to go.)

Shiho

Listen

(All that's left is for the doors to open to let the crowd in...)

Shiho

Listen

(It's almost time...
Our very first solo show.)

Staff A

Hm? Hinomori...?

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

Staff B

The doors open soon. Is something the matter?

Shiho

Listen

No, I just wanted to take one last look at this place before we let everyone in.

Shiho

Listen

I wanted to take a moment to appreciate it... That we're doing a solo show here.

Staff B

Yeah, I get what you mean...

Staff B

It's like the calm before the storm, right?
That strange lull before the doors open.

Staff A

Yeah, and you only get the chance to feel it before everyone's allowed in.

Shiho

Listen

Exactly.

Staff A

Oh, that reminds me. Let us know if anything sounds funny to you.

Shiho

Listen

I appreciate it.
But everything sounded okay during our rehearsal, so I'm sure everything is working just fine.

Staff A

That's good to hear!

Staff B

Speaking of which, the lighting and effects sheet was filled out so thoroughly. It made things so much easier.

Staff B

Did you write all that, Shiho?

Shiho

Listen

No, that was Honami.
Actually, she took care of most of the paperwork for us this time...

Staff B

She did?
Hehe. You sound like pros already...

Manager

Especially how you sounded during your rehearsal just now. I'm looking forward to seeing the real thing.

Shiho

Listen

Oh, hello...

Manager

We have a big line outside...
I think it's about time we let them in.

Shiho

Listen

Okay.
Again, thank you all for your help.

Staff B

No problem!
Now, without further ado...

Staff A

Let's open the doors!

Audience

Whoa...! I come here a lot to see shows, but things feel different today for some reason.

Audience

That's because it's Leo/need's very first solo show! I can't wait!

Shiho

Listen

(There's a lot of people filing in...)

Shiho

Listen

(I was pretty sure that we sold enough tickets, but seeing them all here does take a load off my mind...)

Band Members

Shiho! We're looking forward to seeing the show!

Shiho

Listen

Oh, hello.
Thank you all for coming.

Band Members

We weren't going to miss this!
Not after how much you've helped us!

Band Members

We've been rooting for you ever since we heard that you formed your own band. So, we can't wait to see today's show!

Shiho

Listen

Thank you. We promise to do our best.

Iori

Listen

There's a nice vibe going, isn't there?

Shiho

Listen

Oh, Iori, hello.
I didn't realize you were also here.

Iori

Listen

Of course I'm here. I mean, a lot did happen between us.

Iori

Listen

Still, I can't believe how fast things have changed...

Iori

Listen

Not too long ago, I was trying to get you to join my band, but you're putting on your very own solo show now.

Shiho

Listen

Yeah...
I sort of can't believe it either.

Shiho

Listen

However, Ichika and the others have shown me just how serious they are by working incredibly hard.

Iori

Listen

You girls really have really become a great band.

Iori

Listen

Now, you just need to produce some good results.

Shiho

Listen

Right. As we are now, we should be able to exceed everyone's expectations.

Iori

Listen

Hehe. I'll be looking forward to that.
For now, see you later.

Shiho

Listen

(They're all looking forward to seeing our show...)

Shiho

Listen

(Normally, people would get nervous or feel pressured during this time... But...)

Shiho

Listen

(I can't wait to start playing...!)

Shiho

Listen

(I wanna put on the best show ever and totally blow everyone away...!)

Shiho

Listen

(And I think we... No, I know we can do it.)

Shiho

Listen

(So, let's go out there and have some fun!)
