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

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

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

Hm? Hinomori...?

The doors open soon. Is something the matter?

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

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

Yeah, I get what you mean...

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

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

Exactly.

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

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

That's good to hear!

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

Did you write all that, Shiho?

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

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

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

Oh, hello...

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

Okay.
Again, thank you all for your help.

No problem!
Now, without further ado...

Let's open the doors!

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, hello.
Thank you all for coming.

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

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!

Thank you. We promise to do our best.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

You girls really have really become a great band.

Now, you just need to produce some good results.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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