Toya
I see...
The songs should feel drastically different from one another, because each musician has their own distinct style.

Nene
That's why I'd like you to come up with something with a rock feel for Hoshino, pop for Momoi and street for Shiraishi.
Ichika
Writing songs for all these different genres won't be easy, but it should also be very rewarding.
Nene
Still, Hoshino, are you sure about this? You're already playing a character, and you want to work on writing songs too...?
Ichika
Yes. Given the song count, I feel like Saki and them are going to need help. Also, if possible, I'd like to write the song I'm going to sing.
Planning Committee Member
I'm the leader of the songwriting team, so let me know if you ever need any help.
Saki
This melody popped into my head while listening to you guys talk! What do you think?!

Nene
(Hoshino and Tenma prefer to use their instruments, while Aoyagi likes to work on his computer.)
Nene
(Some of them start from the chords, some from the melody... Everyone's style is different. I'm having fun just watching them...)
Toya
Yes, but it's still very rough.
I need someone to tell me if it goes with the character's concept.

Toya
Of course. I'd appreciate it if you all gave me your honest opinion. Anyway, I'll play it now...

Ichika
Yeah... You can feel how reserved the protagonist is, and how dreary it is being stuck in her mansion all day. This is incredible...!
Nene
I also thought it was really good.
I can already see the protagonist singing this song.

Toya
I may be able to figure out what's missing if I know what she's going to feel when she sings this song.
Nene
Like Hoshino said just now, Lulu's a very reserved and shy girl, especially due to the fact that she's been stuck in her mansion for so long.
Nene
Because of that, she's developed a fascination for the world outside her window. Unfortunately, she's always been too scared to go out.

Toya
I tried including more of her curiosity, anticipation and desire to experience new things.
Saki
That's amazing, Toya!
It only took you a second to figure out how Lulu feels and add it to the song!

Ichika
Yeah...! The part you just added is such a beautiful expression of her desire to experience new things... It's crystal clear.
Saki
Alright!
We can't let Toya hog all the glory! Let's write songs that send shivers down Nene's spine!

Ichika
Right.
Would you mind telling us a little more about the characters we're working on, Kusanagi?

KAITO
I agree! I think it's particularly cool how the leadup to the chorus builds up and become more rhythmical!
Kohane
Hehe. I'm really looking forward to hearing An and Kusanagi singing your songs, Aoyagi!
Akito
She's off practicing on her own like she usually does, so I'm sure she'll do a good job.
Kanade
I think you also did a good job of capturing how the character you told me about feels.
Ichika
I had no idea.
Also, we're sorry for bothering you both when you're trying to relax...

Kanade
No, that's okay.
We like listening to songs that others have made, and I'm really glad we could help.

I see... Then, I'll see what I can do starting with the pre-chorus or thereabouts...
