Also, the festival is important, but I'd like for us to put on the best performance we can for Mr. Shindo and Mr. Ota too.

Miku
Her mind seems clearer now that she knows what she wants to do for this band. She's focusing much better as a result.
Luka
Yes, and becoming the leader must also have something to do with that. Something about the way she's playing is more compelling than ever before.
KAITO
(They're putting on a compelling performance. I can feel their confidence resonating through each note...)
Shiho
We're achieving the same sort of momentum as before, but we're also all over the place for some reason...

Shiho
We can't blame one person, since we've had trouble getting on the same page all the time lately.
Honami
(I mean, not having an answer to that question was distracting me. I was having trouble focusing and keeping up with the others because of it.)
Shiho
I don't know, but it's almost as if...
We're all pointed in different directions or something.
We're all pointed in different directions or something.
KAITO
I think this has something to do with you all hashing out what your aspirations are.
KAITO
Each of you now knows what you wish to do in terms of your music. You feel more confident as a result.
KAITO
However, you're also trying to accomplish slightly different goals from one another.
KAITO
What if you're all subconsciously doing what you can to make your own aspirations a reality?
Luka
You wish to move people's hearts, Shiho, which results in you producing this powerful energy. Meanwhile, Saki exudes kindness because she wants to cheer everybody up...
Luka
In other words, because you're all prioritizing different things, you're struggling to stay on the same page.
MEIKO
No, I doubt that's the case.
They're clearly playing a lot better and really letting their feelings flow through each note.

MEIKO
How they each feel as individuals is important, but they need to be a single unit when performing together.
Luka
It screams, “Cheering everyone up is what's most important right now, so let's put on a performance which does that.”
Honami
So, let's do our best...!
For Mr. Ota, Mr. Shindo and everyone who we want to feel moved by our music.
