Shindo
Yes. After giving it a considerable amount of thought, I've put together a document for you all to look at...

Shindo
This is an overview of the marketing strategies for the bands who've debuted with us, as well as some artists who are seeing a lot of success right now.
Shiho
These are the download figures for each first single... And here are the buyer demographics... Is it really okay for you to be showing us all this data?
Shindo
Yes, as long as this information doesn't leave here. It's certainly not for everyone to see.
Shindo
Now that you've all had a chance to look at these figures, today I'd like to discuss how your band is going to be marketed.
Shindo
Yes. First, I'd like to start by asking you all a question. What aspirations do you hold for your music...?
Shindo
That includes your goals in terms of your music, as well as who you want listening to it.
Shindo
In order for us to come up with a marketing strategy for your band, it's imperative we know exactly what your goals are.

Shindo
As such, they concentrate their efforts on streaming, taking song requests and having as close a relationship as possible with their fans.
Shindo
On top of their earnings from subscriptions and merchandise sales, their high view counts have made things very lucrative.
Honami
They placed first in the TV program School Band Fest when they were still in high school, and have been working as pros ever since.
Shindo
Which is why they auditioned for that music talent program around the time of their debut. And when they won, it brought them popularity and name recognition.
Shindo
As a result, greater numbers of people became interested in their shows and they now have an extremely supportive fan base.
Shindo
Exactly. And these are just a couple of examples. Your specific goals will greatly change how you'll be marketed and what you do as artists.
Shindo
I might've guessed.
After all, the performances I saw are why we're sitting here now.

Shindo
Think about what you've all felt as a band. What you've wished for. What you've hoped for...

Shindo
There must be something more you want to achieve with your music besides moving the hearts of others...
Shindo
If there is, I'd like for you to tell me about it. Now is your chance to tell me exactly what it is that you want your music to be about.
Shindo
Yes... But if it's hard for all four of you to come up with one answer, then we can also talk about what you feel individually.
Shindo
Yes. Instead of Leo/need as a whole, we can talk about what you each wish to do. Please, don't hesitate to speak up.

Saki
Yes... Back when Saku... After we played at the same venue as anemone, I started thinking about how to write a song about “understanding loneliness”...
Saki
That time, I wrote a song while thinking about what I went through a long time ago... And I was so happy the crowd understood what I felt.
Saki
I tried writing a song that showed real empathy for someone who needed it. I wanted the listener to feel better after hearing it...
Shindo
Yes, I definitely got that when you played that song during your battle against anemone...
Ichika
Initially, I was happy with just trying to put on performances that could move people's hearts. But now, I want to do more...
Ichika
I want our music to be something that can help bring people together. Just like how Miku songs brought us together.
Honami
I understand what they want to do...
But I can't honestly say that I have any concrete goals like they do...
But I can't honestly say that I have any concrete goals like they do...
Shindo
If anything, you should think long and hard about this since it is going to have a profound effect on your band's future.
Shindo
We'll talk about this again another time.
Until then, please think about what you wish to do.
Until then, please think about what you wish to do.
Shindo
Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting to pursue the same goal as someone else, or one similar to your original goal. Try to keep that in mind.
Shindo
Then, once we have your individual goals in place, we'll figure out what Leo/need is going to try to achieve with its music.
Shindo
I'd like to give you all an overview of what the process of debuting actually entails. Please take a look at this document regarding that.
