...is probably the best way I know to get a bass drum to sound more punchy.
Ichika
I see. I didn't know that was possible...
Kanade
*Nod*
It's common for bass drums to create a lot of unwanted noise, but an equalizer can help you get the sound you want by filtering all that out.

Kanade
Oh, you should try reading this book if you have time. It discusses this topic in much further detail.
Ichika
Oh, thank you so much!
If you're sure, then I'll borrow this for a little while.

Ichika
Where do I begin to thank you...
You've given me such a thorough explanation after I asked you to meet me on such short notice.

Kanade
No, I'm just glad that I could help you...
So, have you gotten used to composing on a computer?

Ichika
Hmm, there's still so much I don't know. I actually stayed up really late last night working on a song...
Ichika
But my hope is that I'll soon be able to produce songs the way I imagine them as easily as you do, Kanade.
Kanade
And I'm sure you will.
Kanade
Please feel free to contact me again.
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

Ichika
Thank you!
Ichika
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was this hungry...
Kanade
Then, why don't we get a quick bite to eat?
Ichika
Yes, please!
Alright, what's on the menu... Hm?
Alright, what's on the menu... Hm?
Ichika
“Only available on White Day”...?
Kanade
Gratin with white sauce, roasted marshmallow cakes, tarts topped with towers of whipped cream... They have quite a lot on here.
Ichika
They do...
Ichika
...
Kanade
Is something wrong, Hoshino...?
Ichika
Oh, um...
This menu made me think about White Day is all..
This menu made me think about White Day is all..
Kanade
Huh?
Ichika
The thing is, I haven't been able to decide what I'm going to get everyone for White Day.
Kanade
You too?
Ichika
Huh? Does that mean...?
Kanade
Yes...
I've also been having the same problem.
I've also been having the same problem.
Ichika
Really? You too?
Kanade
Yes. I still haven't been able to decide either...
Ichika
It's so hard. Especially after hearing all my friends say that they'll be happy with whatever I get them.
Kanade
Oh, actually... I was told the same thing.
Ichika
Hehe. We're in the same boat.
Kanade
We are...
At the same time, I'd probably answer the same way as everyone if I were asked what I wanted.

Ichika
But that's the strange part...
It's always so hard to decide what to get when you're the one doing the giving.

Kanade
True...
???
We couldn't help but overhear your conversation!
Kanade
Huh...?
Ichika
Minori...! Oh, Momoi's with you...!
How long have you two been here?
How long have you two been here?
Airi
We apologize for eavesdropping.
Airi
But your conversation caught our attention while we were discussing an idea for a stream.
Ichika
Oh, I see...
I wish we'd noticed sooner.
I wish we'd noticed sooner.
Minori
That's okay because...we might be able to help with your problem!
Kanade
What?
Airi
You're both wondering about what to give everyone for White Day, right?
Minori
We actually got a question about that during one of our streams and were just in the middle of planning a special segment in response!
Minori
We're calling it...
The White Day Gift Showcase Special!
The White Day Gift Showcase Special!
Ichika
Sh-Showcase...?
Kanade
Does that mean you're going to recommend gifts for White Day?
Minori
That's right, Kanade!
Minori
Someone by the name of OneMillionFriends sent us the question I just mentioned, and they're having trouble deciding what to get everyone for White Day.
Kanade
One million friends...?
Airi
It's probably just their handle, but I'm guessing they do have a lot of friends to worry about.
Ichika
I see...
So, what did they ask specifically?

Minori
What was it now...?
Minori
“Dear Minori,
I'm a huge fan of you and MORE MORE JUMP! I'm having trouble deciding what to get all my friends for White Day.”
I'm a huge fan of you and MORE MORE JUMP! I'm having trouble deciding what to get all my friends for White Day.”
Minori
“Despite my limited budget, I want to get everyone something really nice. What would you all do in this kind of situation?”
Minori
...is what they wrote!
Airi
Wait, you memorized the whole thing...?
Minori
Hehe. They did say that they're a huge fan of mine.
Minori
So, we're turning this person's idea into an entire segment about affordable White Day gifts!
Kanade
Oh, that's just what we need...
Ichika
I guess we're not alone.
Airi
Hehe. Now do you see?
Airi
We were just about to browse around a few shops to see what's out there...
Airi
So, why don't you two join us?
Ichika
Oh, are you sure?
Airi
Of course!
We've been looking up what kinds of snacks and sweets everyone's buying, so we can all go look at those in person today.

Airi
And it would also be great to get an outsider's perspective.
Minori
Right!
Just browsing, no cameras! So you should both come with us!

Kanade
Thank you, Hanasato and... Um...
Airi
I'm Airi Momoi.
It's nice to meet you, Yoisaki!

Kanade
*Nod*
Nice to meet you too.
Nice to meet you too.
