Our Starry Sky Leading to the Future

Shiho

Listen

Whoa...

Shiho

Listen

It looks like a regular station platform, but things are clearly a bit off here and there...

KAITO

Listen

I was just as surprised when I saw this place for the first time...

Shiho

Listen

Do new areas appear in SEKAI like this often?

KAITO

Listen

No, I've never heard of this happening until now...

KAITO

Listen

But this SEKAI was born out of you girls' feelings, so they may have something to do with this place.

Shiho

Listen

Our feelings...?

Shiho

Listen

(But which feelings?)

Shiho

Listen

(Maybe something has changed now that we've actually gone pro.)

Shiho

Listen

(Like our expectations for the future, our worries or our idea of where we're headed...)

Shiho

Listen

(Where we're headed...
Come to think of it...)

Shiho

Listen

Where do these tracks go?
They seem to extend towards that sky...

KAITO

Listen

I have no idea...

KAITO

Listen

But...

KAITO

Listen

What if these tracks lead to where you girls want to go as a band?

Shiho

Listen

Where we want to go...?

KAITO

Listen

That sound...

Shiho

Listen

I think it's coming from the station's speakers. But why...?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

KAITO

Listen

Music...? What song is this?

Shiho

Listen

Wait, this song...!

Sound Effect: Play

KAITO

Listen

Do you recognize it?

Shiho

Listen

Yes.

Shiho

Listen

It's the song that made me want to start pursuing music seriously.

Shiho

Listen

(Hearing this song was the beginning of it all.)

Shiho

Listen

(I've always been really stubborn and struggled to play well with others.)

Shiho

Listen

(But music showed me that it's okay to pursue my own path.)

Shiho

Listen

(That being said...)

Sound Effect: Play

Shiho

Listen

I guess it just means that I'm not cut out for playing in a band...

Shiho

Listen

(I can't go back now, and I have no way to move forward...)

Shiho

Listen

(This is all I can really do for the time being...)

Shiho

Listen

(Even when it came to music, I tried to act tough and tell myself I couldn't play with others.)

Shiho

Listen

(I felt a lot more comfortable on my own...)

Shiho

Listen

(And past me convinced herself that going pro meant going it alone.)

Shiho

Listen

(But now...)

Sound Effect: Play

Saki

Listen

I thought about it for a really long time and still felt that I want to be in a band with you!

Honami

Listen

That's why we all made the decision to come here and tell you exactly how we feel.

Ichika

Listen

I want to play music that can move people with you, Shiho...

Shiho

Listen

(We've been able to go pro because they were willing to make that commitment.)

Shiho

Listen

(And all we have to do now is keep moving forward.)

Shiho

Listen

(Down this path as pros...!)

Sound Effect: Play

Shiho

Listen

Huh?
The train's doors just opened...

Shiho

Listen

But why?
They were tightly shut a second ago.

KAITO

Listen

I'm not sure...

KAITO

Listen

But could it mean something?

Shiho

Listen

What could it mean...?

Shiho

Listen

Does it want us to board...?

KAITO

Listen

Possibly...

KAITO

Listen

I'm starting to think that you and the others are supposed to board this train so that it can take you wherever these tracks lead.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Shiho

Listen

Where these tracks lead...?

Shiho

Listen

(Does that mean...?)

Shiho

Listen

(The future? Where we want to go as pros...?)

Shiho

Listen

(But...)

Shiho

Listen

I'm not getting on.

Shiho

Listen

Because this isn't just my dream anymore.

Shiho

Listen

So, I shouldn't jump ahead and board it alone...

Shiho

Listen

I want us to go together.

Shiho

Listen

(I really have no idea where we're going to end up.)

Shiho

Listen

(But I'm sure it'll be somewhere nice as long as we stick together...)

Shiho

Listen

Let's go back, KAITO...

Shiho

Listen

We're going to get in a solid practice together today.

KAITO

Listen

Okay...
I'll stay as long as you need me to.
