<Hehe. This should be fun.
Especially considering how much you girls practiced for this day.>

No, I'm just...
Yes, I'm a little tired from practicing, but there's another reason...

I don't stay up super late playing video games... That much...! Even if I do it sometimes with movies and manga!
Ichika
But choosing just one is taking more time than I initially expected. I've been trying to remember what Kanade said the other day, but...
Honami
It's okay to give something important a lot of thought. In any case, Ichika, I'll be looking forward to hearing your song.
Ichika
Anyway, let's start shooting since we've asked Miku and the others to come over from SEKAI.
Honami
R-Right.
I brought a few different smartphone tripods with me today. I'm hoping that they'll allow us to take a nice video.

Saki
I was wondering why you were carrying so much stuff today, Hona! It was all stuff for our shoot!
Honami
No, it'll be difficult for us to make a dynamic video with just one camera. Using several will give us shots from different angles, which we can stitch together for our music video.
Saki
You're always super reliable, Hona, but you seem like you're really on your game today!
Honami
But I want to do what I can since this video is going to help determine Leo/need's future...

To be fair, we're not trying to do this in one take. We can always shoot again if we don't like what we see. So, let's just give it a try.

I kept trying to refocus myself after each take, but I can't seem to play the way I do during shows...

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
That's easier said than done...
We were able to play that way because of the crowd and the atmosphere.
