(Not just my sound either. My fingers are moving much better compared to before, like for the first verse. I'm fretting so smoothly now.)

I'd been using it for quite a long time... But I bought a replacement, so it's okay.
Luka
What if I jumped in by saying Saki made fairly quick work of what was giving her trouble?

Rin
Since you're gonna be practicing as a band, you girls need to get your respective parts down perfect today☆
Rin
I'm gonna be honest...
I didn't fully comprehend at first just how serious you girls were about making your next show a success.

Rin
When I first heard about these training sessions, I thought, “We're gonna get to spend entire days practicing,” and, “This is gonna be so much fun!”
Rin
But I realized as time went on that I had the wrong idea. As I practiced with all of you...

Luka even said that sweets are good for when you're tired, so let's have some together!
Saki

I'm having trouble staying in rhythm for this part... It sounds a bit uneven when I try to step on the pedals for the hi-hat and bass drum at the same time.
Rin
Yeah, the fourth beat sounded kinda too strong. But I don't think it sounded funny or anything like you said, Hona...
Rin
Yup!

I want to become a better drummer.
I want to become the musical foundation of our band!

But this still isn't enough...
The way I'm playing right now... It's nowhere near where I want to be.

Ichika
I remember thinking before how beautiful your singing voice was, Rin, and how you sang high notes with so much power...
Ichika
It's like your voice could break through the ceiling. Can you teach me how to do that? This song we're working on now has some high parts and I want to get it right.
Rin

Ah, I knew it...
I was also under the impression that you'd be teaching me today, KAITO, and believed otherwise when Rin came instead.
