Ichika's Song
♪————
Miku
<All that's left is to hear what the others have to say after they listen to it today.>
Ichika
Also, Saki always writes these amazing songs for us, so I'm worried that it's going to pale in comparison...
Miku
<I don't think you have anything to worry about. Music isn't about comparing yourself to others.>
Miku
<Listening to your song, Ichika, I got a clear sense of what sort of message you were trying to send. So, I think it's fine the way it is...>
Ichika
Thank goodness. I'm so glad I asked you to join me today, Miku. It's like the first time I showed everyone my lyrics. I'm so nervous...

Huh?! What's going on?!
Oh, is this about the new pancake place that just opened up near school?! I've been thinking we should check it out, too!

Saki
That's so awesome!
I had no idea that you were working on one! I really wanna hear it!

Ichika
Please don't blame her.
I wanted to have you all listen to it when it was complete, so I asked her to keep it a secret until then.

O-Of course. That's why I brought it up. I am a little nervous... But I want to hear your honest opinions.

It's so you, Ichi!
There's so much warmth... And so much kindness in the lyrics. It's like you're saying you'll be there when I really need you.

Shiho
Yeah, it's like I'm being wrapped in a warm blanket... And I really like how it captures you so well, Ichika.
Honami
Miku's voice is also really beautiful.
It goes so well with the song... Actually, Ichika, this Miku kind of reminds me of you.

Shiho
You had that in mind when you wrote it, didn't you Ichika? I mean, it uses the same instruments we do, and your message... It all feels like Leo/need.
Honami
For this song, why don't we have a video of us playing it and a separate one using this Miku version?
Honami
The way she sings it is so beautiful that I feel like it'd be a waste to not include her somehow.
Saki
I think that'd be great!
I personally really love Miku videos. I watch them all the time!

Shiho
Plenty of other people like Miku, so we may be able to reach more people by making a video with her in it.

Miku
I also want lots and lots of people in your world to hear the song you and her created, Ichika...
Miku
This song, your thoughts, your feelings, this melody... The people who need it most are going to be so touched by them all.

*Sigh*
I come all the way out to a live house when I'm supposed to have the day off, and... Another swing and a miss.

But there's no information out there about that band. I figured that high school kids would be posting videos and stuff online, but...
???
When I checked after the show, they didn't even seem to have any channels set up... Hm?
???
Wait, this is...!
???
Four subscribers... So, the four of them? Did they just set up this channel?
???
Hey, they even posted a Miku song...
???
Leo/need...
Seems I'll need to keep an eye on them.
