Emu
Oh, wow...! That felt so good! My heart's pounding! It's like Amy and Dorothy really found a way to make up!
Kohane
I was having so much trouble understanding how to sing in character, but it became so much easier after talking about how Amy and Dorothy would feel...

(Okay, Shiho gave me some wonderful advice, so I need to make the most of it during practice today...!)
Honami
(But the group before us is still practicing. Maybe I can practice a little on my own with just my sticks.)
Saki
Emu even gave us some really good advice, we couldn't figure it out... It kept bothering me so much afterward.
Honami
Yes. She actually pointed out how her usual recommendations don't apply because we're in a new situation with different people...
Saki
Yeah, I think I understand. I might've been stuck in Leo/need mode this whole time too, you know?
Saki
But we're with Emu and Kohane now. We should try to play more freely as much as we can!
Honami
I've been meaning to try what Emu said yesterday about understanding how our characters would feel as we play.

Saki
You bet! I should be thanking you too, Honami! I have a way better idea of what to do during the chorus now!
Honami
Me too.
It became so much easier to play after realizing how Amy and Dorothy would feel during this scene.

Saki
I know, right? Emu was right. It really is important to let your emotions flow through a song like this, huh?

Yup! We were trying some stuff while talking about how to make our performance sound more like a musical!
Honami
We thought about what you said yesterday, Emu, and tried understanding how Amy and Dorothy would feel during this scene.
Kohane
Emu and I met during our free time, and she suggested that we try figuring out how our characters would feel as they sang.
Kohane
Yes, we did. And thanks to Emu, I think I know how Amy would feel when she sings this song now...!

Emu
Musicals need to be more fun or more emotional, you know? We should focus more on bringing those emotions to the surface just before the climax.

Saki
(Alright, I need to do my best too♪ Emu and Kohane are awesome, but I have to play like I mean it too!)

Saki
Yeah, it was! I could tell how Dorothy and Amy felt so much that I actually started to tear up while playing♪
Emu
Oh, before I forget!
Can we try changing the lead-up to the chorus just a little bit? I think I can make it even more wonderhoy!

Shiho
Yeah, looks like it. We should probably hold off on getting our props off the stage until they're finished.
Minori
They're doing a musical piece, right? It's so cool how they're not afraid of playing instruments in front of a crowd...
Minori
But doing a play only in English... I'm so worried about memorizing my lines and saying them right...
Shiho
Yeah, I agree. We'll be there to help if anything happens too... Well, as long as I don't forget either...

Oh, here! I think we can make this chorus sound extra happy and give everyone extra-big smiles!
Kohane
Is this the part you were talking about where you want us to sing so everyone knows how Amy and Dorothy feel?
