The opening acts for Free Cluster are usually bands like them, ones that have proven skills and staying power.

While we're still just getting on our feet.
It only makes sense that some people would be disappointed to see us.

Me too...
Up until this point, we've played in front of plenty of people who didn't know who we were...

Honami
But we've never really played in front of those who hold negative opinions about us from the start.
Shiho
It's true, we're just finding our feet, and we still need a lot of work. Our name recognition, experience, and even our skills are still lacking...
Shiho
Because we're pros now.
It's our duty to entertain our guests by playing compelling music for them.

Shiho
We can't do anything about our skills and inexperience right now... But we are ready to do what we have to as professional musicians.
Shiho
We've gotta go out there, put on a good performance, get everyone excited and set the perfect stage for Ms. Naruse and her band.

Naruse
Sorry, I actually got back a little while ago. I kept missing my chance to say something.
Shiho
(We don't have much time left until the show. But we have to find a way to move the audience's hearts.)

Ichika
Yeah. This monitor doesn't show all of the seats, but it looks like about half of the arena's already been filled.
Ichika
I didn't really grasp the scale when we were rehearsing, so seeing all these people... It's pretty overwhelming.
Saki
Then, let's do a chant that helps us relax! Oh, or would you rather we had a big group hug?!

Naruse
Remember, you're the first ones our audience is going to hear. We're counting on you.
Naruse
Don't worry. You've done everything you can, so all that's left is for you to go all out.
Naruse
I've given you advice, but you already had what it takes to really wow an audience from the start.
Naruse
And hey, it's not often that you get to play at a big venue like this, so don't forget to have lots of fun while you're out there.
Naruse
Just imagine it.
From the front row to the top of the third deck, over ten thousand people will be going wild as you play for them.
