Little Ichika

Listen

Okay, these are... Lady's tresses.
It's cute how they have so many little flowers coiled around them.
2

Ichika's Father

Yes, that's a nice find.
You're up to ten now, aren't you?
3

Little Ichika

Listen

Yup! I'm almost done making my flower encyclopedia for school!
4

Little Ichika

Listen

Thanks for helping me, Dad.
My plan was to make this with Saki and the others, but we couldn't find a good time to meet.
5

Ichika's Father

I had fun during our walk as well.
Thank you for inviting me, Ichika.
6

Little Ichika

Listen

Hehe. I'm really glad...!
I'm gonna show Mom once it's finished.
7

Ichika's Father

Yes, she's going to be so proud.
8

Ichika's Father

Oh, they're selling gelato over there...
It's starting to get a little warm, so why don't we go buy some?
9

Little Ichika

Listen

Oh...!
I want vanilla!
10

Little Ichika

Listen

But I'm still not finished with my encyclopedia...
11

Ichika's Father

Haha. Then, I'll go buy some while you keep working on that.
12

Ichika's Father

Here, I'll even leave the tablet with you so that you can look up any other new flowers you find.
13

Little Ichika

Listen

Really...? Thanks, Dad!

Let's see... What other flowers are there...?
15

Little Ichika

Listen

Oh, those pink ones!
I'll use them.
16

Little Ichika

Listen

What are these?
I'll try looking them up on the tablet...

Miku

Listen

<Thanks for coming today, everyone!
I hope you're looking forward to hearing me sing a lot!>

Little Ichika

Listen

What do I do...?
20

Little Ichika

Listen

(I tapped something and made Dad's tablet play this video...)

Little Ichika

Wow! She's so amazing...!
26

Little Ichika

Listen

Her voice is beautiful...
And it's so cool how she can play the guitar...!
27

Little Ichika

Listen

What's her name?
28

Little Ichika

Listen

Hatsune Miku?
29

Little Ichika

Listen

Her name's Miku...?

Ichika's Father

Ichika, I got some of that gelato for us. Let's have this while we take a break.
31

Little Ichika

Listen

Oh, okay...!
32

Little Ichika

Listen

Dad, look!
This Hatsune Miku person's video popped up, and she's really cool!
Ichika's Room
33

Little Ichika

Listen

The song from this video's also really cool...
34

Little Ichika

Listen

(That other song was also pretty cool, but this one feels more like one that an idol would sing. It's really cute...)
35

Little Ichika

Listen

(It's so interesting how the same Miku can sing all these different types of songs...)
36

Little Ichika

Listen

(That also goes for each video. And depending on what she's singing, she'll sound cute, cool, grown-up and stuff... It's like she's someone new every time.)
37

Little Ichika

Listen

(But it's the same Hatsune Miku in all of them...)
38

Little Ichika

Listen

That's so amazing...
39

Little Ichika

Listen

But...
40

Miku

♪————————!
41

Little Ichika

Listen

I still think this song's the coolest...
42

Little Ichika

Listen

She shines so bright, and she sounds like she's having so much fun...
43

Little Ichika

Listen

I...
44

Little Ichika

Listen

(I want to do that...!)
45

Little Ichika

Listen

(I want to be just like her!)

Little Honami

Listen

Wait, play it...?
47

Little Ichika

Listen

Yeah!
48

Little Ichika

Listen

We should play a Miku song together!
49

Little Shiho

Listen

Miku...? As in Hatsune Miku?
The VIRTUAL SINGER?
50

Little Saki

Listen

Have you always liked Miku, Ichi?
51

Little Ichika

Listen

I just found out about her yesterday!
Here, this song... You need to hear it!
52

Little Shiho

Listen

Oh, this is a pretty cool song...
53

Little Ichika

Listen

See what I mean?
54

Little Saki

Listen

Miku's also really cool!
55

Little Ichika

Listen

I know, right?!
56

Little Honami

Listen

But how are we supposed to play this?
57

Little Shiho

Listen

Does that mean we're forming a band?
I can play the bass.
58

Little Saki

Listen

Oh, my mom taught me how to play the piano! I can play that!
59

Little Shiho

Listen

Not many bands have pianos.
What if you played the keyboard?
60

Little Saki

Listen

Like an electronic one?
I can play one of those♪
61

Little Ichika

Listen

My dad owns a guitar, so I'll ask to see if I can borrow it!
62

Little Saki

Listen

Wow, Ichi, that's so cool!
63

Little Ichika

Listen

I-It's not like he's said yes yet...
64

Little Shiho

Listen

But I'm sure he will.
I mean, your dad's such a nice person.
65

Little Saki

Listen

Exactly! That just leaves...
66

Little Honami

Listen

What other instruments do bands have...?
67

Little Shiho

Listen

Normally, a set of drums...
68

Little Honami

Listen

Drums...
Like the ones in the music room?
69

Little Honami

Listen

But I've never played the drums before...
70

Little Ichika

Listen

We'll also need a vocalist...
71

Little Honami

Listen

What?! A-As in singing?
No, I can't do that...!
72

Little Saki

Listen

Oh, what about the triangle or recorder?!
73

Little Honami

Listen

Th-Those might work for me...
74

Little Shiho

Listen

But we're talking about a band here.
75

Little Saki

Listen

So, drums?
76

Little Honami

Listen

Oh...
77

Little Ichika

Listen

I'm sorry, Honami...
I didn't mean to make you panic or anything.
78

Little Ichika

Listen

But would you be willing to give it a try...?
79

Little Ichika

Listen

You can always pick a different instrument if you think they're too hard to play after you try practicing with them.
80

Little Ichika

Listen

I've never played the guitar before either, so I have no idea how that's going to go...
81

Little Ichika

Listen

But I want to play with you, Honami. I want us to all play together...!
82

Little Honami

Listen

Ichika...
83

Little Honami

Listen

O-Okay...
84

Little Honami

Listen

I'll give it a try.
85

Little Ichika

Listen

...!
Thank you, Honami!

Let's get our band started!
