Airi

Listen

“Hehehe. Hello there, young lady! Aren't you just the cutest?”
2

Airi

Listen

“I'm a musician who loves to dance and sing! Would you like to hear me sing something?”
3

Nene

Listen

“U-Umm...”
4
“You should also listen to me!
I guarantee you won't be disappointed!”
5

Nene

Listen

“Th-Then, just for a little bit...”

Airi

Nene

Listen

“Wow... That's amazing...!”
9

Nene

Listen

“You two are completely different in terms of styles, but both your performances were so powerful. I was really moved!”
10

Nene

Listen

“I didn't realize music could be so free and fun...!”
11

Ichika

Listen

“Then, why don't we sing together?”
12

Ichika

Listen

“I'd like to sing that song I taught you the other day.”
13

Nene

Listen

“Okay!”
14

Nene & Ichika

“♪——————!”
15

Airi

Listen

Phew... How'd we do?

16

Nene

Listen

Really well!
You're all reciting your lines much more naturally now.
17
Yes!
That means the four of us practicing together was the right call!
18

Ichika

Listen

Yeah!
19

Nene

Listen

But...
20

Ichika

Listen

Huh?
21

Nene

Listen

Oh, so...
You're all doing an amazing job already.
22

Nene

Listen

But I feel like you would sound even better if you could really stay in character as you sing.
23

Airi

Listen

Stay in character as we sing?
24

Nene

Listen

Yes. This is a musical, which means a song's lyrics are also your lines.
25

Nene

Listen

So, try to sing with that in mind, channeling your characters' emotions into each word.
26
I see...
27

Ichika

Listen

Channel our characters' emotions into each word...
28

Ichika

Listen

Now that you mention it, I never really thought of these lyrics as lines until just now.
29

Airi

Listen

Me neither. I think we were all focusing really hard on singing well, but in a musical, singing itself is part of acting.
30

Airi

Listen

Alright, let's take a quick break.
Then we'll do that part again, incorporating the advice Kusanagi just gave us.
31
Okay!
32

???

Listen

Knock knock. Pardon us!
33

Airi

Listen

Huh? That sounded like...

Nene

Listen

Oh...! Hanasato, Kiritani!
36
And Kohane!
37

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Minori and Haruka said they'd be taking over some refreshments, so I decided to stop in too.
38

Kohane

Listen

I also wanted to take a photo for the show's pamphlet.
39

Nene

Listen

Oh, that's right... You're helping the production team with their photography work.
40

Minori

Listen

Anyway, we brought you all some drinks!
41
Wow, thanks!
These are just what we need right now. It got really warm while we were singing!
42

Haruka

Listen

We also figured that you'd be hungry, so we brought some food to help you recharge.
43
Wait, really?!
Mini rice balls and... Oh, pickles too?!
44

Haruka

Listen

Yeah, because they're a good source of electrolytes. Here, try some.
45

Ichika

Listen

I will.
Oh, these pickles are delicious...!
46

Nene

Listen

You're right...
And you can pop these mini rice balls right into your mouth.
47

Nene

Listen

Thank you all for bringing these.
48

Minori

Listen

Oh, that reminds me...!
Airi, come with us for a second!
49

Airi

Listen

Huh?
50

Haruka

Listen

You have a few fans besides us who want to show you their support.
51

Airi

Listen

Oh, do you mean...?

53

Airi

Listen

Miku, KAITO!
54

KAITO

Listen

<Hehe. We heard that you were rehearsing for a musical, so we decided to come cheer you on!>
55

Miku

Listen

<We know acting's really tough, but it's great how you're trying something new! So, break a leg!>
56

Airi

Listen

Thanks!
57

Airi

Listen

Unfortunately, you just missed us practicing. We're taking a break right now.
58

Airi

Listen

Why don't you guys stick around and watch us practice for a bit?
59

KAITO

Listen

<Oh, are you sure?>
60

Airi

Listen

Yeah, of course.
If anything, I'd like you guys to point out anything that catches your attention.
61

KAITO

Listen

<Okay. Then, we'll watch for a little bit.>
62

Miku

Listen

<We promise to do our best to help you, Airi!>

(Okay, I'm doing pretty well...)
65

Nene

Listen

(But this is the scene where Lulu channels everyone she's met and all her new emotions into song...)

Hello, Nene♪
68

MEIKO

Listen

It's so late, but you're still practicing. I really admire your work ethic!
69

Nene

Listen

Oh, MEIKO, Luka...
70

MEIKO

Listen

But the show's tomorrow, no?
Don't push yourself too hard.
71

Nene

Listen

I know...
But I want to do everything I can.
72

Nene

Listen

Because I absolutely want things to go well tomorrow.
73

Luka

Listen

Hehe. You sound so motivated.
74

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I mean...
75

Nene

Listen

I think our show's really going to be something special. Everyone's put so much effort into it...
76

Nene

Listen

Tsukasa and the others helped me come up with a script and the right effects...

77

Nene

Listen

Aoyagi and his team did an great job of capturing each character's emotions in their respective songs...
78

Nene

Listen

Hinomori and the band decided to put on the best performance they can by not cutting any corners.
79

Nene

Listen

And...
80

Nene

Listen

Shinonome and the others asked me what kind of set I'd envisioned, and blew me away by coming up with something even better.
81

Nene

Listen

What I just said also applies to the other teams. They've all done their absolute best for this show.
82

MEIKO

Listen

They've all helped make this show a reality...
83

Nene

Listen

Yeah. Including the other cast members too, of course.
84

Nene

Listen

It can't have been easy, since a lot of them are doing a musical for the first time, but they practiced and persevered...
85

Nene

Listen

Seeing them work so hard made me want to also do better.
86

Nene

Listen

Before I knew it, I was having fun and cherishing every minute of this experience. I've really loved working with them.
87

Luka

Listen

Nene...
88

Nene

Listen

That's why I want to give the audience tomorrow the best show possible.
89

Nene

Listen

I want to do everything I can to make that happen.
90

MEIKO

Listen

You've become so strong.
91

Luka

Listen

Yes, and so cool.
92

Nene

Listen

Huh? You think so...?
93

Nene

Listen

A-Anyway, promise you'll all come see us tomorrow.
94

MEIKO

Listen

Yes, of course!
95

Luka

Listen

We're very much looking forward to seeing it!
