Right.
I'm a little nervous since we won't be playing in front of our usual kind of audience.

Honami
I understand how you feel. It probably is going to feel a bit different. This reminds me of the first time we performed with anemone...
Luka
Hehe. And yet, you were all ultimately able to get through to that audience with your song, yes?
Luka
So, I'm sure this performance will go just fine. As long as you give it your best, I'm sure people will be willing to listen.
Miku
We don't know anything about the other bands or what the people you play for are actually like, but it's clear that your performances have improved significantly. You should feel confident in your abilities.
Shiho
I was under the impression that you weren't all that interested in these sorts of events.
Honami
Haha... Festivals in Shibuya do have a tendency to scare me away, and I definitely hesitated when I saw the poster for it...
Honami
But I realized that it would be a chance for us to have more people hear our songs.
Honami
The songs you write really are wonderful, Saki, while Ichika and Shiho just continue to become better performers...
Honami
So I think it's a shame that we've only been able to play at live houses. I want more people to hear our incredible music, which led me to suggest that we play at this event.
Shiho
I agree. We've definitely been getting better as a band, so it is a good idea for us to try performing at various types of venues...
Honami
Oh, I almost forgot. The flyers advertising that we'll be playing at Shibuya Festa are done.
Honami
Yes, I saw that bands appearing at the festival are allowed to advertise themselves using their own flyers, so I decided to make one for us. How does it look...?

Ichika
A navy blue base with a star-studded background. I really like how it represents us so well.
Shiho
But your art really packs a punch, Honami. You asking to draw things yourself probably surprised me the most.
Honami
I'm still embarrassed by what I draw...
But Ena said that my art left a strong impression on her, so it seemed like a good way for others to see who we really are.

Saki
And I'm sure others are gonna remember! I mean, your art has such a unique flavor to it!
Honami
We can start handing these flyers out tomorrow, get our name out there and present everybody with the best show we can!

Really amazing!
You were in more sync than usual for the dance routine too! I sort of just ended up staring the whole time!

Me too!
And you've all improved so much. That training camp you girls did must be paying off.

We still have some small adjustments to make, but we're definitely all running on all cylinders now!

Shizuku
I agree. If we keep this up, I'm sure everyone at both Shibuya Festa and our solo show will really enjoy our performances.
Minori
Yeah, how do we ever thank Nanamin for this? I never thought that we'd get to perform at a big, outdoor venue right before our solo show!
Airi
Hehe. Me neither.
So, let's do our best tomorrow to spread and inspire hope in everyone across Shibuya from that stage tomorrow!

Hehe. I understand the feeling.
It'll be my first performance in quite a while at an outdoor venue. A big one at that.

Shizuku
Yes! I bought them yesterday thinking that we must all be tired after working so hard during practices.
Shizuku
See? We really have been working hard these past few days, so wouldn't it be nice to relax while having some nice sweets?
Haruka
Yes, that does sound nice...
And we won't be able to perform well if we're too tired.

Then, what if I brought over some tea and lay down a tarp for us to...

Akito
Movement is gonna be the most important part of this performance, so keep that in mind.
Toya
Yes, that's right. The venue for tomorrow's event, Shibuya Festa, has a very large stage... Our usual performance is going to feel fairly small by comparison.
Akito
To be fair, I don't think we have much to worry about. We've been practicing pretty hard, so it's not like the quality of our performance is gonna drop all of a sudden just because we're playing somewhere new.

Toya
Much appreciated, MEIKO.
If anything, we should be thanking you more for allowing us to hold our meetings here.

It's so cool how you guys were invited to perform again after the show you put on during the Summer Festival!
An
Hehe. Especially Akito.
Is it because certain seniors of ours are performing right after us?

I can all but guarantee that they're going to put on a show like no other, so we've gotta do everything we can to compete...

Tsukasa
That's because we finally get to do our show tomorrow! I can't wait to show everyone my acting prowess!
Nene
A-Also, Emu's probably excited because Rui's going to unveil his newest device here.
Miku
Oh, is that what caused Tsukasa to soar so high through the sky?! It was that device?!
Rui
I am able to keep making these devices because you're willing to place your faith in me, Tsukasa.
Tsukasa
Of course!
I, Tsukasa Tenma, future star, shall show you tomorrow just how great...!

Minori...? Oh, you mean Hanasato?
I suppose so. I've also heard that believing that you'll succeed leads to actual success.
