Ichika

(What do I do about this...?)

Miku...!

Miku

Listen

Are you still having trouble?
7

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
8

Ichika

Listen

Yeah...
9

Ichika

Listen

I feel like I can do this, but I'm also still worried. I don't know what to do...

Miku

Listen

I see...
11

Miku

Listen

So, if you do decide to write that song, what do you want it to be about?
12

Ichika

Listen

Huh?
13

Ichika

Listen

Oh, umm...
I was going to talk with Saki to see how it might work musically...
14

Ichika

Listen

But since the theme is “This Moment With You!”, I thought that we could try writing a song about all the memories the four of us have, and the time we've spent with you and the others at this school, Miku.
15

Ichika

Listen

So, I'm thinking that we make something a bit up-tempo with a scintillating melody...
16

Miku

Listen

I see. I'm sure it'd be a lovely song.
17

Ichika

Listen

Thanks...
18

Miku

Listen

...
19

Miku

Listen

But still...
This reminds me of that one time.
20

Ichika

Listen

Huh...?
21

Miku

Listen

When you said that you wanted to sing with me, remember? We sang that song you wrote together.

22

Ichika

Listen

Oh...
23

Miku

Listen

And I got to sing with all of you during your last show before you went pro.
24

Miku

Listen

That moment... Getting to be with you... Getting to sing with you made me so happy.
25

Ichika

Listen

Miku...
26

Ichika

Listen

Yeah, me too...
27

Ichika

Listen

(Every second of that moment means the world to me. It's a memory that I'm going to cherish forever...)
28

Ichika

Listen

(But...)
29

Miku

Listen

Ichika?
30

Ichika

Listen

Oh, sorry...
31

Ichika

Listen

Right now, I'm trying to come up with a song for this collaboration... For Leo/need... For you to sing...
32

Ichika

Listen

But I have a feeling that I won't be having you sing it for the same reasons as before...
33

Ichika

Listen

Which is why I'm hesitating so much right now...
34

Miku

Listen

...
35

Miku

Listen

Listen, Ichika.
36

Ichika

Listen

Huh?
37

Miku

Listen

You just mentioned how you're not sure if it's okay to have me sing a song for reasons that you don't see as being entirely pure...
38

Miku

Listen

But I'll be more than happy to sing any songs that you ask me to do.

39

Miku

Listen

Regardless of who they're for or what feelings went into them...
40

Miku

Listen

I like the songs you write, Ichika.
And the songs you have me sing...
41

Miku

Listen

Well, I cherish them all.
42

Ichika

Listen

Miku...
43

Ichika

Listen

(Right...)
44

Ichika

Listen

(I've been wondering whether I have the right feelings going into this.)
45

Ichika

Listen

(But Miku's happy to accept whatever I'm feeling and sing whatever I write for her.)
46

Ichika

Listen

(She really is an amazing person...)
47

Miku

Listen

All you have to do now is make a decision...
48

Ichika

Listen

*Nod*
Thanks, Miku...

Ichika

I...

Shindo

Listen

Alright, Ms. Hoshino, let me hear your answer.
51

Ichika

Listen

Okay.
52

Ichika

Listen

I have no problem with the idea of releasing VIRTUAL SINGER versions of the songs we're going to release.
53

Ichika

Listen

However... I don't want to commit to doing that for every song we produce in the future.

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

54

Ichika

Listen

I know I sound very selfish right now...
55

Ichika

Listen

But I care deeply about Miku and the other VIRTUAL SINGERS...
56

Ichika

Listen

And I think that feeling is an integral part of my music... It shapes my songwriting process and the way I play.
57

Ichika

Listen

So, I'd rather not have Miku sing a song that I don't feel 100% comfortable with her performing.
58

Ichika

Listen

Which is why I want us to have the power to decide whether we're going to release a VIRTUAL SINGER version, or if we're going to have the Leo/need version stand alone.
59

Shindo

Listen

Alright, I understand...
60

Shindo

Listen

Please, try to relax.
The company will need to know about this, but I'll handle telling them.
61

Shindo

Listen

Explaining this to them won't be easy, but I'm sure things will work out.
62

Shindo

Listen

I accept what you just said as your conviction regarding this matter instead of anything selfish.
63

Shindo

Listen

That being said, you all just made a rather perilous decision as professional musicians. I hope you understand what this is going to mean...
64

Ichika

Listen

Yes, we understand...
65

Shindo

Listen

So, what are your plans regarding our collaboration in question?
66

Ichika

Listen

We plan on accepting their offer.
67

Ichika

Listen

For this song...
I have a sense that it'll work for both Leo/need and Miku.
68

Shindo

Listen

Work for both?
69

Ichika

Listen

Yes.
70

Ichika

Listen

All the moments we've spent together as Leo/need, as well as all the moments I've spent with Miku...
71

Ichika

Listen

Both of those things mean a great deal to me, so my goal will be to channel those feelings into this song.
72

Ichika

Listen

And that's why I'd like to have Miku sing it too.
73

Honami

Listen

Ichika...
74

Shindo

Listen

Understood...
75

Shindo

Listen

That shouldn't be a problem, so let's get the ball rolling for this collaboration, shall we?
76

Ichika

Listen

Yes!
77

Ichika

Listen

I'm sorry for making you all wait...
Let's do our best to produce a great song for this collaboration.
78

Saki

Listen

Yeah!
Let's make it the best song ever!
79

Shindo

Listen

Writing this song is obviously important, but please also make sure to keep practicing.
80

Shindo

Listen

Don't forget that you need to start preparing for Jam Fest soon.
81

Ichika

Listen

Oh...!
82

Shiho

Listen

He's right.
We also need to give that everything we have.
83

Saki

Listen

Right...!
84

Honami

Listen

We get to perform in our first show as pros at Jam Fest, so we need to make it a successful performance...!
85

Ichika

Listen

(We're going to blow everyone away by writing the best song ever for this collaboration and by putting on an amazing performance at Jam Fest.)
86

Ichika

Listen

Let's all do our best!
