1

Shindo

Listen

Those are the interview offers we've received.
2

Shindo

Listen

The formats and schedules for each of them are detailed here.
3

Honami

Listen

Understood. Thank you very much.
4

Shiho

Listen

An online article for a music magazine, another for an entertainment magazine...
5

Saki

Listen

I feel like we've been getting a lot of these interviews lately!
6

Shindo

Listen

Between the song for your commercial and your performance at Jam Fest, you've definitely been achieving good results as a band.
7

Shindo

Listen

This is proof that your music is striking a chord with everybody listening.
8

Shiho

Listen

(Our music is striking a chord...)
9

Shiho

Listen

(A lot has happened since we went pro...)
10

Shiho

Listen

(So it's nice to see that we're making solid progress.)
11

Shiho

Listen

(We have to keep up this momentum to move the hearts of as many people as we can through our performances.)
12

Shindo

Listen

Alright, that's it regarding your band's schedule for the near future...
13

Shindo

Listen

But there's another piece of very important business that I'd like to discuss with all of you today.
14

Ichika

Listen

Very important business...?
15

Shindo

Listen

Yes. Are you all familiar with a band called “Free Cluster”?
16

Shiho

Listen

They're a famous rock band.
Didn't they just finish touring the country last year?
17

Saki

Listen

Oh, I saw them on TV just the other day!
They were so good! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!
18

Honami

Listen

They do put on very powerful and encouraging performances. I listen to their music quite often, since I think we can learn a lot from them.
19

Shindo

Listen

Haha. I had a feeling that you all knew who they were. So, let's cut to the chase.
20

Shindo

Listen

Free Cluster is going to put on a solo show soon.
21

Shindo

Listen

And you've been asked to be the opening act. What do you say?
22

Saki

Listen

Wait, what...?!
23

Honami

Listen

The opening act... Are you saying that we get to perform on the same stage as Free Cluster...?
24

Shindo

Listen

Yes.
At Star Arena Tokyo. It seats about fifteen thousand.
25

Shindo

Listen

I can't think of a better venue for your band to gain some good experience.
26

Saki

Listen

F-Fifteen thousand...?!
27

Ichika

Listen

Jam Fest's venue was big too...
But this is more than double their capacity.
28

Shiho

Listen

But why us?
29

Shindo

Listen

As I said, I want you all to gain as much experience as you can.
30

Shindo

Listen

And playing at large venues is one of the best ways to achieve real growth.
31

Shindo

Listen

I also asked the members of Free Cluster about this. And they said they'd love to have you.
32

Ichika

Listen

Really...?
33

Saki

Listen

Th-This is so awesome...!
34

Shiho

Listen

(We get to open for Free Cluster...)
35

Shiho

Listen

(To be honest, I was hoping that we'd be able to book a big arena all on our own...)
36

Shiho

Listen

(But...)
37

Shindo

Listen

But the final decision is yours.
38

Shindo

Listen

In some respects, this will be significantly more challenging than any show or festival you've performed in so far.
39

Honami

Listen

Huh...?
40

Shiho

Listen

He brings up a good point.
Opening means getting the crowd moving and warming up the venue for the headliners.
41

Shiho

Listen

Not only that, Free Cluster's brand is all about technical mastery. As such, their fans are going to have fairly high standards.
42

Saki

Listen

Oh... R-Right...
43

Honami

Listen

Which is why this is going to be so challenging.
44

Shiho

Listen

That being said...
45

Shiho

Listen

I want to do this.

46

Saki

Listen

What?
47

Shiho

Listen

Yeah, it isn't going to be easy.
But if we can nail this, then we'll come out the other side having grown a ton.
48

Shiho

Listen

It's also a huge chance for us to get more people to listen to our music.
49

Shiho

Listen

So, I don't want to let this opportunity slip.
50

Ichika

Listen

She's right.
51

Ichika

Listen

This is a big opportunity for us, so I...
I'd also like to give it a try.
52

Saki

Listen

Me too...!
Let's put on such an amazing performance that Free Cluster's fans won't know what hit them!
53

Honami

Listen

We'd like to accept this offer, Mr. Shindo.
54

Shindo

Listen

I had a feeling you would.
55

Shindo

Listen

As Ms. Hinomori said, this is a golden opportunity to show the wider masses what Leo/need's music is all about.
56

Shindo

Listen

Do your best to make sure your music really connects with them.
57

Ichika, Saki, Honami & Shiho

Listen

We will!
58

Saki

Listen

Alright, it's training time!
59

Shiho

Listen

This is Free Cluster we're talking about, so we can't put on a half-hearted performance. We'll need to practice pretty hard, and in a focused way.
60

Shindo

Listen

Ah, I have that part covered.
61

Shindo

Listen

To ensure that you all do improve before the show, I've asked a special coach to help.
62

Ichika

Listen

A special coach...?
63

Shindo

Listen

Yes. The lead singer and guitarist for Free Cluster, Akemi Naruse.
64

Shiho

Listen

...!
