Part 1

1
Little Ichika
We should play a Miku song together!
2
Little Shiho
Oh, this is a pretty cool song...
3
Little Ichika
See what I mean?
4
Little Saki
Miku's also really cool!
5
Little Ichika
I know, right?!
6
Little Ichika
Let's get our band started!
School SEKAI
7
Ichika
That's how we ended up forming our band.
8
Len
Wow. Miku told us that happened, but I'm still amazed by how you all decided to form a band in elementary school.
9
Rin
Oh, Ichi, can you tell us more about what happened after you got your band started?!
10
Ichika
Sure.
Then, I'll continue...
11
Little Saki
He said he'd lend you his guitar?! That's great, Ichi!
12
Little Ichika
Yeah, he said I could use it after I told him we want to play that Miku song together!
13
Little Ichika
Oh, he also helped me tune it since he apparently hadn't played it in a while.
14
Little Honami
Really?!
Your dad is such a nice person.
15
Little Ichika
Hehe. He even told me about the strings and how to play a few chords.
16
Little Ichika
He seemed really happy for some reason.
Why do you think that is?
17
Little Ichika
I mean, I honestly wasn't sure if he'd actually lend me his guitar...
18
Little Shiho
This is just my guess...
But I think he's happy about you showing interest.
19
Little Shiho
Because that means you like the same thing he does. I mean, I'd be happy.
20
Little Ichika
Huh...?
21
Little Honami
Yeah! Now that you mention it, Ichika, you told us all about those Miku songs.
22
Little Honami
Whenever Shiho or Saki said one of them was cool, it put such a big smile on your face!
23
Little Ichika
Oh...
24
Little Ichika
You're right! I was really happy when they said that!
25
Little Ichika
(So, Dad felt the same way...?!)
26
Little Shiho
Oh yeah, Honami, have you found a drum kit you can use...?
27
Little Honami
Yes! I asked the music teacher and there's apparently a set in the prep room that no one has used in a while.
28
Little Ichika
Oh, so there is one at school.
29
Little Shiho
What did I say?
I told you there was a drum kit hiding under that dust cover.
30
Little Ichika
Yeah, it was definitely worth peeking through the little window in the door.
31
Little Saki
Anyway, what happened after that?!
32
Little Honami
After I learned about that drum kit, the teacher agreed to teach me when we're both free!
33
Little Saki
What?! That teacher can play the drums?!
34
Little Shiho
That's great. Even if you were able to borrow a drum kit, I was worried that no one would be able to teach you how to play them.
35
Little Ichika
Then, that means we all have our instruments!
36
Little Ichika
(Wow...)
37
Little Ichika
(We really get to be in a band together...!)
38
Little Shiho
So, what are we gonna play?
Do you already have a song for us, Ichika?
39
Little Ichika
Umm... It's a little hard to play, but I was thinking that we could try the first song I showed all of you.
40
Little Shiho
Sure. I actually kinda want to learn it as well.
41
Little Saki
Wow... How cool would it be if we all managed to learn how to play that song♪
42
Little Honami
*Nod*
I still don't know if I'll do well on the drums, but I promise to do my best.
43
Little Ichika
All of you...
44
Little Ichika
Yeah! Let's do our best!
45
Miku
And the song you all first played after coming over to SEKAI was that one, yes?
46
Shiho
Yeah. But we were pretty bad since we hadn't played together for so long.
47
Saki
Still, that was super fun!
48
Honami
It was...
49
MEIKO
That story also sounds interesting, but I'd like to hear more about what you were all like when you were little.
50
KAITO
Me too...
You only just got to the part where you each had your instrument.
51
Luka
Yes, I'd love to hear how things went from there.
52
Ichika
Sure. Then, I guess we should talk about how we practiced back then.
