Kanade
Usually, a melody just pops into my head and I start writing down the music for that.
Kanade
Once I have something substantial, I'll try adding in some instruments and making adjustments based on that. Afterwards, it's just rinse and repeat...
Mafuyu
Sorry, my guess is that Kanade doesn't really think about composing in such a structured fashion.
Ichika
Oh, what if I asked this instead...?
How or when do these melodies pop into your head?

Kanade
I can't point to a specific time or thing, but I do know that I require some sort of inspiration to begin composing...

I feel like I'm able to compose good songs when they're based on past memories or something someone said...

Kanade
Yes. You just said that you want your songs to touch people's hearts, right, Hoshino?

Still, I can't help but feel surprised. I knew that you composed your own music, Ms. Yoisaki, but it's really hard not to be impressed by what you do...

And those lyrics...!
They really struck a chord with me.
Did you write those too, Yoisaki?

Kanade
She did.
Mafuyu definitely has a way with words, so we've asked her to write all of our lyrics.

Mafuyu
But I'm only able to write lyrics like that because your songs are so good, Kanade. All I'm doing is trying to match the atmosphere you're trying to create.
Ichika
Yes, they go perfectly with Yoisaki's music, but it's also a clear expression of how you feel, Asahina.

Comment
<Whenever I listen to OWN's music, I feel like I'm being sucked into some other place.>
Comment
<There's something wrong with whoever made these. I wonder who it is.>
Comment
<Listening to these makes me want to disappear, but I just can't seem to stop. So strange.>
Mafuyu
(Back then, I didn't care one bit about how anyone felt when they heard those songs.)
Mafuyu
(I was just trying to find the real me, and churning out music that reflected what I was feeling then.)
Mafuyu
(Even now, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. All I'm really doing is listening to Kanade's songs and writing lyrics that match them... Or so I thought.)
Mafuyu
(That time when Kanade's song made me smile, I actually felt like expressing myself more through my lyrics...)

(I think I wanted more people to hear it, or at the very least, for it to not go unheard...)
