Ichika
(Come to think of it, we haven't performed with them sitting in front of us for a fairly long time.)
Ichika
(They're usually stuck watching us from somewhere backstage or in the shadow of some piece of equipment...)
Ichika
(And they've always been there for us. I mean, they helped out so much for our last show, but we never got to thank them properly...)
Luka
<I can clearly sense what they're all feeling. Maybe far more than during that last show they played...>

<Incredibly well...
Your performance really resonated with all of us, more than ever before.>

Oh, Saki... To be fair, I also nearly forgot about our primary goal, but that's a bit much.

Now that I've seen this video...
I guess this is what it's like to see us play, huh...?

Rin
<Yeah, totally! It's obvious that you were playing like you meant it, which I think is really good! Sakki on the other hand couldn't contain her joy...!>
Shiho
That's an understatement. But that's also one of Saki's best qualities. It's nice how the video actually captured that.
Saki
Look, don't forget about Ichi!
The way her throat tightens up during the high notes is so cool!

Len
<Anyway, now that you're done shooting your video, you just have to upload it, right?>
Honami
Yes, that's right...
Can I borrow a bit more of everyone's time? We should decide on how we want our video to look.

Saki
Whoa, Hona, how did you cram so much stuff into your bag?! Is it enchanted or something?!
Honami
Anyway, I'll send the video over to my computer and load it into my video editing software...

Rin
<But there's so much going on with her screen. I have no idea what buttons you're supposed to push and stuff...>
Honami
It took me a while to get used to, but I managed to figure some things out by looking up instructions online.
Honami
So, if you click this tab...
Oh, here. This lets you easily throw in some really cool effects.

Th-This is just a test to show that we have a wide variety of options to choose from.

Honami
Actually, it's kind of fun to try all these different things out. Although, that was all just for practice. I'm yet to actually work on an entire video...
Saki
But wow Hona, you really did your homework.
You can already do so much after just starting.

Honami
I'm still limited to what a beginner can do... But if you pull this lever-like thing, you can change how the colors look...

Honami
When I was at home thinking about how to edit the video, I had the idea to give it a darker tone around the chorus for a more somber feel...
Shiho
Yeah, I thought the same thing.
In that case, I guess we should go with the original.

Shiho
This is just me, but I have a feeling that people are gonna focus on how dark it is instead of our song.
Saki
I really like this dark tone!
Like you said, Hona, it goes really well with the theme of the song...

Ichika
(This is just like what's going on with my own song... I need to have the courage to make a decision...)
Ichika
I agree with Saki.
It makes it easier to understand what our song's about, and we wouldn't be able to do this if we weren't making a video.

Ichika
Yes, Shiho may be right about people focusing on that more than our song, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing...
Ichika
If this effect helps our viewers see how pain and sadness are at the core of this song, then I see no problem with using it.
Ichika
Oh, of course, Honami... You know the most about video editing here, so you'll have the final say regarding this...
Honami
Both sides provided valid arguments, but I'm of the same mind as Ichika. I think darker is better for this song.
Honami
Since a video can't deliver the impact of a live performance 100%, I'd like to use this effect to achieve something similar.
Shiho
Also, now that I think about it, not everyone who watches this video is necessarily going to be a die-hard music lover...
Shiho
Which means we should probably keep them in mind if we want them to actually listen to our song. So, let's go with darker.
Honami
Alright, now that we've reached a consensus, I'll continue working on this when I get home.
Saki
Just from what you just showed us, Hona, I have a feeling that it's gonna turn out great!
Saki
Yeah, a brand-new song!
I'm gonna come up with something really good for everyone who enjoys our music!

Shiho
I know how you feel, but I doubt you're gonna be able to come up with one this instant.
Saki
Y-Yeah, if things go like the one before...
I'll have to think about it a lot, which means it might take a really long time...

Saki
But I know that some people out there are really looking forward to hearing our songs, so I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure our next video can bring a new Leo/need song to lots and lots of people.
