Shiho
Yeah. We're improving so fast probably because we have such a vested interest in it as well.
Saki
Especially considering how much editing went into it. As tough as that was, it was totally worth the effort.
Saki
I hope it's not because of how I wrote our song. I'd feel awful if that's what's causing your writer's block...!

Ichika
Your song sends a clear message that even if things aren't going great for us right now that it'll get better if we just keep trying.
MEIKO
Yes, I see.
It may be better to share the load instead of carrying this weight all on your own.

I really don't know anything about writing lyrics, so my advice might not be that great... But I want to help you, Ichi!
Shiho
Lost. So lost in total sadness,
but being with you is true happiness.
Someday, we'll find that rainbow...

Shiho
It's hard to understand what you're trying to say, but I get what you're trying to do...
Ichika
It never felt quite right.
These lyrics just don't do Saki's song justice and I don't know how to express her message...

Saki
How lost I may be doesn't matter,
I know everything will be all right
as long as we're together...

Ichika
Because it's so direct...
It also makes it seem like I put far too much of my own feelings into these lyrics...

Me too. However, if you're still not satisfied with what you have, you may yet find a better way to express what you're trying to say.

Honami
I was ready to help her by giving whatever advice I could, but in the end, I couldn't since I just don't know enough about writing lyrics...
Honami
But I still want to help Ichika. That's why I'm trying to learn as much as I can right now by listening to some music.

Honami
It's so strange how similar lyrics can be presented so differently. I just can't seem to grasp how that happens...
Shiho
The main problem is... What does Ichika want to say and how does she want to express that?
Shiho
But I have no experience writing lyrics, so I doubt that I'll be able to give her any good advice...
Shiho
I couldn't help Saki at all either...
