Ichika
Thank you! We hope you enjoyed our first song!
Ichika
I'm so happy to be singing in front of such a large audience!
Ichika
This place actually means quite a lot to us since it's where we decided to start pursuing music seriously...
Ichika
As a band, we were still just getting on our feet back then... We didn't know how to play well in front of a crowd.
Ichika
But a lot has happened since then...
And we met people like all of you who were willing to give us their support.
And we met people like all of you who were willing to give us their support.
Ichika
Compared to before, I believe we've become much better at putting on performances that resonate with a lot of people.
Ichika
And we couldn't have come this far without your support.
Ichika
So, as a small token of our appreciation... We're going to put on the best show we've ever done!
Ichika
Okay, here's our next song...

Iori
(Who would've thought they'd get this good...?)
Iori
(They're like a completely different band now compared to the last time they were here.)
Iori
(I liked how they just put their feelings out in the open, but they were really desperate that time...)
Iori
(In contrast, they're a single unit now and having a total blast.)
Iori
Way to go, Leo/need.
Ichika
Thank you very much!

Ichika
I'd like to say a few words before we move to our next song.
Ichika
So, all this time I've been playing music, there's something I've felt again and again...
Ichika
Music helps us communicate our feelings, and brings people together...
Ichika
Music is what brought us together here today. It's allowed me to meet so many people.
Ichika
And our next song...
It's meant to be a beacon of hope for those who've drifted apart but wish to see each other again someday.

Ichika
We hope it helps even a little bit...
Ichika
That's the feeling I'll have in my heart as I sing.
Ichika
Ready, everyone...?!

Hanano
(They really are the best...)
Hanano
(I felt so much pain for so long. It didn't matter what I told myself. The thought of having to live away from Yota was horrible...)
Hanano
(But every time I hear this song... It always gives me so much encouragement... It pushes me to move forward.)
Hanano
(Including doing what I can to get along with my new family... And I'm here right now because of it.)
Hanano

I couldn't be happier that I get to see this show with you...

Miu's Friend A
Hey, what were they called? Leo/need? They're amazing!
Miu's Friend B
I know, right?! I just learned about them the other day, but they've written all these unbelievable songs.
Aren't you glad you came?
Aren't you glad you came?
Miu
Oh, um... Yeah.
Miu
I plan on trying a little more at my next school.
Miu
Things might go well, but they might not. Whenever I feel sad or dejected, I'll just play my guitar...
Miu
But I don't plan on giving up. I'm gonna keep trying...
Miu
So please, Hinomori...
Do the same.
Do the same.
Miu
(Music brings people together, huh...?)
Miu
(Yeah, she's right...)

Her bass sounds great...

Kanade

Kanade
(Her love of music, how much she enjoys singing and her kindness. She really wants to help others feel better...)
Nene
(Everyone here must see this song as a huge source of encouragement.)
Nene
(Hearing it has given them the power to stand up and move forward...)
Nene
(Because it tells them someone they care about is waiting for them up ahead... This song has the power to help people and bring them together.)
Nene
Yeah...
Nene
That must be it.

This is what Hoshino's song is all about.

Huff... Huff...
Shiho
(Next is song ten. Our last one...)
Honami
(It all just flew by...)
Ichika
Thank you all very much for listening...!
Ichika
This has been beyond incredibly fun, but our next song will be our last.
Ichika
I actually made this one using certain music software.
Ichika
That software is called Hatsune Miku...
Ichika
To me, Miku isn't just a program for making music. I've learned so many important things from her...
Ichika
She taught me the power of song when I was little...
Miku
♪————————!
Ichika
When I met Miku for the first time, I began learning so much about music.
Ichika
Not only that...
Ichika
Miku's the reason I was able to reconnect with the people I care about the most.
Ichika
Saki, Shiho and Honami...
We're in a band now because of Miku. She brought us together.

Ichika
So, because she's been watching over us the entire time and giving us so much support...
Ichika
I'd like to sing our last song with her.
KAITO
<Are you ready...?>
Miku
<Yes, I'm all set...>
KAITO
<Then, I hope you have a lot of fun.>
Miku
<Thank you, KAITO...>
Miku

Here we go...!
