No, it's my pleasure.
I promise to practice to make sure you get to see a good performance.

(Dad said that he'd ask around too.
At this rate, Shiho and I should just barely make it.)

I did! I asked someone I know and told them about how I'm in a band with my childhood friends. They seemed really interested and decided to buy a few.
Honami
That leaves twelve.
It's a lot, but I think we can do it as long as we share the load...

Honami
But I still can't believe that you sold fifteen out of thirty all on your own, Shiho...
Shiho
I know a lot of musicians so I asked the ones who I thought would be most interested first.
Shiho
Also, I'm really sorry.
I can tell that you'd rather tell Ichika and Saki about this.

Let's make sure our new song reaches and moves everyone who came to see us today...!

Shiho
(Okay, this is good...
Each verse has more depth to it and Ichika's making that clear through her singing.)

(Saki's synth is really shining right before the chorus too. Honami was right about holding back on the drums there.)
Audience
This song's pretty good.
It's like it was made to cheer people up, you know?

Yeah, they've really upped their game too.
Shiho
(And no mistakes as far as I can tell. They're playing like they really mean it. All that practice is really paying off...)

Shiho
All of the work you put into it really paid off in the end. I'm sure they feel the same way too. Nice work, all of you.
Saki
Our show went super duper well today, including our new song, so I'm too excited not to!
Saki
Right now, I want to keep improving and give everyone better performances, so let's do a debrief before I forget that!
Shiho
Starting next time, I'm thinking about having us sell tickets for our shows. Would that be okay with all of you?
Shiho
Until now, the owner and manager have been giving us a free pass, but if we're serious about going pro, this is something we'll have to do eventually.
Honami
Finding ways to sell tickets alongside practicing won't be easy, but we can take it one step at a time...
Ichika
Me too. I've never done anything like this before, but I think we'll be fine as long as we work together...

Honami
I'll try calculating how much time we'll need to sell them and work that into our schedule.
Honami
However, my guess is that you'd do whatever it takes if we do ever find ourselves in a bind.
