Ichika

Listen

Okay, it's signed here and all sealed...
2

Ichika

Listen

That should do it for our contract.
3

Ichika

Listen

(They were definitely worried about us signing with a label at first, but I'm glad Mom and Dad agreed to this...)
4

Ichika

Listen

(They even said they'd be willing to support us after I told them why we're going pro...)
5

Ichika

Listen

(That's on top of going through all the fine print and discussing our finances... That really put me at ease.)
6

Ichika

Listen

All that's left is to hand this over to Mr. Shindo.
7

Ichika

Listen

And I think it's almost time for me to go.
Where'd I put my phone...?

Ichika

I still have a little time.
Huh?

Ichika

(This news headline... A meteor shower...?)

10

Ichika

Listen

“The Perseid meteor shower, one of Japan's three biggest meteor shower events, is just over the horizon. This event will go on for about a month, with the peak days being...”
11

Ichika

Listen

A meteor shower...
12

Ichika

Listen

That reminds me of the time we watched one when we were little...

Little Ichika

Listen

There's another one!
14

Ichika

Listen

We practiced playing that Miku song and just happened to see it happen on our way home...

15

Ichika

Listen

I couldn't believe how beautiful it was...
16

Ichika

Listen

(But then, in junior high...
We slowly began to drift apart...)
17

Ichika

Listen

(I wasn't sure if we'd ever get to watch another meteor shower together like that again...)

18

Ichika

Listen

It'd be great to see another one together.

Ichika

Listen

Thanks for waiting.
20

Shiho

Listen

Okay, we're all here.
21

Saki

Listen

Ichi! Did you fill out your contract okay? I'll lend you my pen if you forgot to sign anywhere!
22

Ichika

Listen

Th-That's okay. My parents went over it with me multiple times at home.
23

Saki

Listen

Okay, that's good to hear!
Tsukasa and I totally panicked earlier this morning after I found a spot that I forgot to sign.
24

Shiho

Listen

Don't worry, Saki, only you would be so scatterbrained.
25

Saki

Listen

What?! Shiho, you're so mean!
26

Honami

Listen

Anyway, shall we head in...?
We wouldn't want to keep Mr. Shindo waiting.
27

Ichika

Listen

Right... Let's go!

Shindo

Listen

...
29

Shindo

Listen

Okay, I think we're all set.
I officially accept your contracts.
30

Ichika

Listen

Which means...
31

Honami

Listen

W-We... We're...!
32

Shindo

Listen

Yes. From now on, you'll be producing music under this label. We're looking forward to seeing you get started.

33

Saki

Listen

W-We did it! We're finally pros...!
34

Shiho

Listen

Yeah...
35

Shiho

Listen

At the same time... We knew a while back that we'd be doing this, so I don't think this part is anything to get so excited about.
36

Saki

Listen

Oh? Then, Shiho, why are you grinning?
37

Shiho

Listen

I-I'm just... I mean, of course I'm happy for us...
38

Honami

Listen

Hehe... We finally made it to this point...!
39

Ichika

Listen

Yeah...

40

Ichika

Listen

I'm still not sure what it means to commit to trying to become a pro...
41

Ichika

Listen

But I know that I want to be in a band with you, Shiho. I want to perform in shows with you. I want others to be moved by our music...
42

Ichika

Listen

If that means aiming to become professionals, so be it...!
43

Ichika

Listen

(We made the decision to go pro that time...)
44

Ichika

Listen

(We didn't know if it'd actually be possible, and there were times when we felt unsure of ourselves...)
45

Ichika

Listen

(But we really did it...!)
46

Ichika

Listen

(We won't be debuting for a while... But we should be able to play in front of more and more people compared to before.)
47

Ichika

Listen

(And I want to do everything I can to move their hearts... Through our music.)
48

Shindo

Listen

Now, about how things will proceed moving forward...
49

Shindo

Listen

Your band will be making its debut as an artist for the label sometime in the future.
50

Shindo

Listen

However, there's a list of preparations that need to be made before you can.
51

Saki

Listen

Preparations?
52

Shindo

Listen

Well, you need to produce some new songs, while we need to promote your name around your debut date.
53

Shindo

Listen

I'll start putting some proposals together soon that discuss how you might be billed and such.
54

Shindo

Listen

Naturally, that includes what kind of band you want to become, how you wish to be perceived and what your music means to you.
55

Shindo

Listen

You'll need to know those things in order to see what you wish to achieve. And we can't do any marketing if we don't know what you want.
56

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
57

Ichika

Listen

Yes, of course.
58

Shindo

Listen

I'll set up some meetings for us in the future to discuss all of that. So, let's take the time to talk through it all carefully.
59

Saki

Listen

Y-Yes...!
Thank you very much!
60

Shindo

Listen

Then, that's about it for today...
Again, your contracts all seem to be in order, so I'll be taking them.
61

Shindo

Listen

We unfortunately need a bit of lead time with these... So, for now, please keep practicing as you have been.
62

Shindo

Listen

And feel free to contact me if anything comes up on your end.
63

Ichika

Listen

O-Okay.
64

Ichika

Listen

Thank you very much for talking with us today!
