It's almost time.
And it looks like we're gonna have another full house today.

Yeah, you're right.
Do you feel ready, Saku...?

I am, but...

After seeing them, I'm less sure about what we have as our second song.

Let's change it to something quieter.

Wait, you're gonna change the set list again right before the show?! You know they're gonna get mad at you, right?!

But it's more or less a regular occurrence now. Also, Saku's got this sort of sixth sense when it comes to this stuff.

Sixth sense?
I'm saying this because I simply think it's for the best.

Yeah, and things usually end up working out. I mean, it's better than changing up songs on us while we're playing a set.

True. But still...

Oh...

Hey. Did you just get here? I'm looking forward to hearing your performance today.

...

Hm...?

Thank you.
We'll be looking forward to yours as well.

Anyway, we need to get ready...

Interesting...
Something seemed very different about her compared to before.

Does this mean I can look forward to a good show...?

It's almost our turn...

Yes, it is...

(It's the same as last time...
This live house just has this cold feel to it.)

(We couldn't raise the temperature with this crowd last time.)

(But...)

This is so interesting...

I've never felt this way before.
It's like I know we're gonna stand on the same stage as anemone today and really move the hearts of everybody in this crowd.

So the pressure's on even more so than usual, and I thought I'd be really nervous or anxious... But weirdly, I don't feel any of that.

I know what you mean.
For some reason, I feel perfectly fine.

This might be what Shiho was talking about before... How practicing a lot would help build our confidence.

Plus, Saki, it's a bit hard for me to describe, but I feel like the song you wrote for today is a part of me now.

Yeah...
I feel the same thing. So...

I think I can confidently say, “We're going to put on an absolutely astounding performance”...

Leo/need, get ready. You're on standby!

This is it...

Don't worry.
I know our song's going to get through to this crowd.

So, let's try to enjoy ourselves!

Hello! We're Leo/need!

This is our second time performing here, so hello again to any second-timers. And to those seeing us for the first time, it's nice to see you all here.

Hey, didn't they play here before?

Oh, it's this band...
I didn't really get their music.

...

We'll get straight into our first song, so we hope you enjoy.

Hm? They played this song last time...
But...

Is this how they played last time?

No, they didn't leave much of an impression then. But now, they seem way different for some reason...

(...!
The crowd's actually watching us this time!)

(Good, we've got their attention.)

(Let's keep this up until our third song!)

♪————!!

Yeah, this is way different from before... They're playing a lot better now.

Really? I wasn't here last time, so I couldn't tell. Their vocalist has an awesome voice, and she's a great guitarist.

Yeah, this is nice...
I like their sound.

...

Wow, they're improved quite a lot since last time.

However...

Is this all they have?

——...♪

(We played our second song brilliantly...!)

(But we're just getting started!
Because our next song is...)

Okay, this next song will be our last...

(This is it. Our third song...)

(Our most precious song, as well as Saki's heart and soul...)

(We're gonna knock their socks off.
I have to throw all of our feelings into my keyboard!)

♪————...

Whoa, this song...
It feels way different from the other two...

It sounds so sad, but it also feels warm... This is nice. I think I really like it.

(Wow...
The audience... They have such gentle expressions on their faces.)

(They're reacting so differently from before. Our song, our performance... We're really getting through to them... Not only that...)

(My singing too.
But I can still do better...)

(I want our music to resonate even more with them...!)

♪————...!

(Hehe. Ichika's doing great.)

(Not just her. Saki and Honami are also doing really well.)

(Which mean, after this...)

...!

(They're all keeping up with me.
Our sound's actually gelling...)

(This is so much fun...!)

Wow, yeah... This song...
It hits so hard, but it also feels really gentle... It's like it gets who I am.

I wanna hear more.
Give us more!

(So much happened over the course of this last month...)

(And not all of it was fun...
They'd arrive each morning with smiles on their faces and leave with injuries or not having done as well as they'd hoped during practice.)

(I discovered a lot of things as well.
From stuff that bothered me to what I was missing...)

(Above all else, I'm standing here because Miku and the others were all there...)

(Because we all want to stay and play as Leo/need.)

(The crowd's really feeling our sound...)

(Their sounds and feelings are also mixing perfectly with ours. My body can't help but move to the rhythm.)

(I've been playing in shows for a while now, but I've never felt this way before. I've never felt this good.)

(How are the others feeling?
Are they having just as much fun with this performance?)

(I sure hope so.
It'd be really nice if they are.)

(I really do love music.)

(I love performing with them like this. I want us to keep doing this for as long as possible. Forever and ever...)

Hey, not bad...
They sound totally different from last time.

Also, we're up next. We're not gonna let them walk away with all the glory, are we...? What do you say, Saku? They've put up a fight.

...

Saku?
Hey, Earth to Saku!

Yeah, that's not gonna work.
We're probably not getting Saku back for a while.

What?!
But we're up next!

...
Nicely done.
