No, this isn't right either...

Sorry, Miku.
It's been a while since I decided to try making my own music, but I can't seem to produce anything good for you.

I just have to work at my own pace until I have a song that I feel satisfied with. Then...

Sorry I'm late, everyone.
It took longer than expected to write my entry into the class log.

We were just watching the video of your performance at Shibuya Festa! The crowd seemed so into it! You girls have really been on fire lately!
Ichika
Yeah...
We really gave it everything we had that time... It almost felt like each note shined, you know...?

Oh, I totally know what you mean!
Before the show, the tension felt kinda different compared to normal...

Saki
And things were completely different during it! I could hear the audience talking and stuff like always, but I was way more focused on the show itself...
Shiho
I agree.
Some people in the crowd even said how our show was the best they'd seen in a while.

Len
Speaking of which, didn't you girls initially decide to play at a different live house so you could get Leo/need's name out there more?
Shiho
We reached the ticket quotas for our last couple shows pretty quickly, which is nice since it's clear that more people are coming to see us...
Shiho
But our goal is to go pro.
Not only do we still have to become better performers, we have to keep convincing more and more people to come hear us play.

Saki
What if we played in more big events, like Shibuya Festa? That seems like an easy way to get ourselves in front of a lot of people.
Ichika
It's not a bad idea, but we won't have many opportunities to play at those kinds of events...
Honami
She's right... And we were only able to play at Shibuya Festa because there just happened to be one slot left when I called. It might not be so easy...
KAITO
If name recognition is what you're after, I don't think you have to only do shows...
Saki
Wait, he's right!
Shiho, you even said that there's more than one way to get people to listen to our music!

Shiho
Exactly. There are a lot of ways to go pro, but they all involve getting people to start listening to our music...
Shiho
That includes playing at different live houses, starting a band account to post videos, and all sorts of other stuff...

Shiho
I'm fine with that idea, but we'll have to give it some thought since I don't think any of us have much experience with this stuff...
Honami
As long as I have the software to do it, I think I can figure out how to cut, trim and edit videos for us.
Honami
I was also thinking about how to actually start our channel since there will probably be a process to figure out.
Honami
The videos I make may not end up being the best, but if it means even a few more people will listen to our songs, that will be worth the effort...
Shiho
I'm not as good at this stuff as you, Honami, so I don't how much I'll be able to help. But I want to do what I can. Feel free to ask for help if you ever think you need it.
Ichika
(Between putting together schedules for us and making our flyer for Shibuya Festa, she does so much for us...)
Shiho
Yeah... But for now, we need to practice. We can talk later about how we're gonna shoot each video and stuff.

(If I can learn to write songs for us, it'll help reduce the work Saki has to do...)
Ichika
(Unfortunately, I'm struggling to write even one that I feel satisfied with. At this rate, I won't be able to help us at all...)
Ichika
(For the time being, I need to finish working on my current song. I'll mention it to the others when I have something that I feel good about...)
