Shiho

Listen

I've finished cleaning up, so I'll be leaving now.
Thank you for today.
2

Manager

Yeah, thanks for your help!
Your performance was stellar as usual.
Take it easy now.
3

Shiho

Listen

Thank you...
4

Shiho

Listen

...!
5

Iori

Listen

Nice to see you again, Hinomori.
6

Shiho

Listen

What do you want this time?
I already told you, I'm not joining your band.

7

Iori

Listen

I know, but...
I was just wondering if you changed your mind.
8

Shiho

Listen

I haven't...
I'm staying with my current band.
9

Iori

Listen

Well, that's really a shame...
I was hoping you'd say yes today.
10

Iori

Listen

Well, I'll be back again soon so...
11

Shiho

Listen

...
12

Iori

Listen

Hehe... Isn't this where you say something like, Don't bother. I don't care how many times you try...?
13

Iori

Listen

This means you really ARE considering my offer, no?
14

Shiho

Listen

...!
15

Shiho

Listen

I... I have to go now...!
16

Iori

Listen

Wait!
17

Shiho

Listen

What is it...?
18

Iori

Listen

This is a ticket for our next performance.
Come and see us for yourself.
19

Iori

Listen

I'll sing with everything I have if it means you'll join.
20

Shiho

Listen

But... Why me...?
21

Iori

Listen

Didn't I say so before?
It's because I like your sound.
22

Shiho

Listen

But...
23

Iori

Listen

Plus, our band is making its debut under a major label soon. I want to do that with the best team possible.
24

Shiho

Listen

Wouldn't you prefer to stick with the ones you've worked so hard with all this time...?
25

Iori

Listen

Hehe. So you're the sentimental type?
I really wasn't expecting that...
26

Iori

Listen

Playing in a band as a hobby and doing it professionally are completely different things. You won't make it as a pro unless you absolutely commit to it.
27

Iori

Listen

Those who can't end up bringing down everyone else's morale and just make things difficult for themselves on top of that.
28

Iori

Listen

Which is why I don't want bandmates who're only playing for fun and don't have the resolve to really take it seriously.
29

Shiho

Listen

...!
30

Iori

Listen

I was under the impression that you were of the same mind.
31

Shiho

Listen

I... Well...
32

Iori

Listen

We have a night performance this weekend. If you're still on the fence, come and see us play before making a decision.

Ichika

Listen

Shiho, how did I do just now?
35

Shiho

Listen

Your not hitting those high notes right, Ichika.
The song lacked impact overall,
especially during the chorus.
36

Ichika

Listen

S-Sorry!
I'll make sure to practice more.
37

Shiho

Listen

Honami, you lost focus during the second half,
and I heard mistakes here and there.
Saki also got dragged in and lost sync.
38

Honami

Listen

I-I'm so sorry!
39

Saki

Listen

Ugh... This is sooo hard...
Especially the rhythm for this part.
I can't wrap my head around it...!
40

Shiho

Listen

But that also means once you do get it, you'll figure out the best way to move and position your fingers.
41

Saki

Listen

That's true... Okay, thanks!
Practice makes perfect and all that, right?
42

Honami

Listen

As long as you're not overworking yourself, okay?
43

Saki

Listen

Yeah, I'll be careful!
No mistakes next time then!
44

Shiho

Listen

(I'll need to practice more too...
If I really want to become a pro...)
45

Ichika

Listen

Oh, Shiho, do you have a minute?
I was hoping for some advice about the chorus...
46

Shiho

Listen

...
Yeah, sure.
47

Ichika

Listen

Sorry! I know you have your own part to work on...
48

Shiho

Listen

Quit apologizing and let's practice.
49

Shiho

Listen

I do want to get better, but together... With all of you.
50

Ichika

Listen

Shiho...
Right, thank you.

Saki

Listen

Sigh...
We got so much practice in today too...!
52

Honami

Listen

We sure did! I'll definitely sleep like a baby tonight.
53

Shiho

Listen

Both of you have improved quite a bit.
54

Saki

Listen

Do you mean that?!
Yaaay!
55

Ichika

Listen

Yes, I could tell just by listening too.
You've really been improving.
56

Ichika

Listen

...
57

Ichika

Listen

I have to try to keep up...
