Miu

Listen

Thank you for stopping by today...

Honami

Listen

Oh, I think that was her last song...

Saki

Listen

What?!
No, I wanna hear more.

Ichika

Listen

Same.
I wonder when she'll be playing next.

Miu

Listen

Phew...

Shiho

Listen

H-Hey...!

Girl A

Miu!
That was amazing!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Girl B

Yeah, you drew a huge crowd even though it was your first time performing here!

Shiho

Listen

Oh...

Miu

Listen

You two came back?

Girl A

Of course!
We're your best friends! We plan on seeing every single one of your performances!

Miu

Listen

Haha. All of them?
Are you sure?

Girl B

But you've improved a lot.
Can I get your autograph before you get a record deal?

Shiho

Listen

...

Ichika

Listen

Shiho? What's wrong?

Shiho

Listen

No, it's nothing...

Shiho

Listen

(That's great...)

Shiho

Listen

(Takagi didn't give up either.)

Shiho

Listen

I'm glad for her...

Saki

Listen

What do you think that song's called? Did she write it herself?

Ichika

Listen

It'd be great if we could write something like that.

Honami

Listen

I'd like that as well...!
What do you think, Shiho?

Shiho

Listen

Y-Yeah...
I really liked it too...

Miu

Listen

Huh...?

Miu

Listen

That's...

Girl A

Hm? What's up, Miu?

Miu

Listen

...
Nevermind. I thought I saw someone I knew just now...

Girl B

Really? Like a friend?

Miu

Listen

Friend...?

Miu

Listen

Yeah, she was.

Miu

Listen

My first actual friend, I think...

Miu

Listen

I'm glad you figured it out, Hinomori...

Shiho

Listen

Honami, you fell behind!

Honami

Listen

S-Sorry...!
Can we try that again?

Shiho

Listen

Alright, from the top.
Also, Saki, try to slow down a little for this one.

Saki

Listen

Huh? Did I jump ahead just now?
I couldn't tell at all...

Shiho

Listen

Here's a recording of what we just did.
It should give you a better idea...

Saki

Listen

Whoa, you're right!
Nothing gets by you, Shiho!

Shiho

Listen

I mean, I need to be able to do at least this much. Ichika, ready for another go?

Ichika

Listen

Yeah!

Luka

Listen

My, they really mean business today.

Miku

Listen

I know, right? Shiho's pushing the girls fairly hard, but they're responding beautifully.

Rin

Listen

Alright!
It's time for me to get pumped too!

Len

Listen

Are you ever not, Rin?

MEIKO

Listen

Haha. So true.

KAITO

Listen

...

Shiho

Listen

Ichika! I know you can sing more clearly during the chorus.

Ichika

Listen

Right! Let's try that again!

Honami

Listen

Okay, here we go!
One, two, three, four...

KAITO

Listen

(Nobody can change their past...
The pain you felt back then stays with you forever.)

KAITO

Listen

(It has ways of rearing its ugly head each time you look back...)

KAITO

Listen

(But that pain is also the reason why Shiho's here now, and she couldn't be happier.)

KAITO

Listen

(At least, that's what I feel...)

Shiho

Listen

That was good.
Let's try to repeat what we just did! Once more!

Everyone

Listen

Okay!

KAITO

Listen

I'm so glad for you, Shiho...
