Shiho
Sure, but when we start back up, we're going right back to the part of the chorus you just messed up.
MEIKO
Hehe. Why don't we make some of the tea Honami brought over? We still have some left.

Ichika
I feel really bad about making Mr. Shindo wait for me like that. I knew what I wanted to do, but I just couldn't seem to find the right sounds for it.
KAITO
I know it must've been a struggle, but I think it's a nice expression of your feelings.
Miku
Speaking of youth...
Wasn't that the theme of the music video you all shot the other day?

Ichika
Y-Yes... I told them that I probably wasn't the right person for the job, but they kept saying how things turn out better when the vocalist is in the spotlight...
Ichika
Umm... It starts with me sitting in a classroom feeling bored. Then, Saki invites me to form a band...
Ichika
We go out into the corridor, run into Honami and Shiho, and invite them to join us. We go up to the rooftop to play together...
Len
Alright, based on what you've told us so far, it seems like a story that suits your band well.

The director asked me to do a bit of face acting for this scene to give it a bigger impact...
MEIKO
Hehe! I'm really enjoying this!
It's like we're getting to see a brand-new side of Ichika.

Shiho
Yeah, you did the same thing to me.
Do you know how hard it was for me to keep a straight face?

Honami
Hehe. This shoot was much more involved than our last one. It posed a few challenges, but we thankfully were able to get through it.
Ichika
Also, for the VIRTUAL SINGER music video, they got this illustrator I really like to do all the artwork. That made me so happy...
Saki
Their artwork was so gorgeous!
I was actually sorta stunned by how our song could be depicted in such an amazing way!

Honami
Yes...! It currently has around five million views. At this rate, it might spike even more.
Saki
It's unbelievable! I felt the same way with our last song, but I honestly never expected it to do this well!
Ichika
It is astonishing how many views its been getting, but it's also evidence of just that many people listening to our music. Which is wonderful news.
Honami
Some people might come see us at Jam Fest after listening to this song. So, we need to practice as much as we can for them.
