(The chorus towards the end is still bugging me. What if I added a pause going in? I can move the waveform like this and...)

As long as I do what Kanade just taught me, I can fix things one note at a time...)

(And it sounds completely different overall now. I'm so glad I decided to ask Kanade for her advice...!)
Ichika
(I'm actually starting to run out of things to do... But this bit of the first verse is still kind of bothering me...)
Ichika
(This part is supposed to be about “courage”, which is why I made the guitar stand out a little. However, using the bass to produce a denser sound could also work.)

I-I'm sorry, Hoshino...
I became so focused after getting a good feeling about this song... How are you doing?

How are things going for you two?
I poured some tea and made some rice balls if you'd like some.

No, it's okay.
You taught me the basics, and my song's become so much better as a result.

That's sort of the problem with digital tools. You're not physically limited by which instruments are available to you, so there are a lot of different possibilities just for plugins alone.
Ichika
Yes, that's very true...
In the beginning, I sort of couldn't believe that there were all these options just in terms of guitars.

Kanade
Yes. From start to finish, I had no idea which choices were right and which were wrong. And it wasn't just me. No one has the answers.
Kanade
I'm sometimes faced with two choices like you right now, Hoshino. It takes some amount of courage to choose just one...
Kanade
But you can't complete your song if you don't, so I think you should be courageous, pick one and be confident in your decision.
Kanade
That's the other side of the coin. As hard as it can seem sometimes, the people who enjoy listening to your song may see how interesting it can be to use digital music tools.

Oh, I'm sorry...
I experienced not too long ago a situation where I was faced with some tough choices...

I feel that having the courage to make a decision and feeling confident about it doesn't just apply to songwriting...
Ichika
(Because I've also made the mistake of not making a clear decision at a crucial time...)

I need to have courage...

Hehe. These have salmon in them and these are filled with cod roe. Please choose whichever ones you like.
