You'll regret it...?

What makes you think that?

I understand to some degree that succeeding as professional musicians isn't easy...

I also understand that using our age to our advantage is one way of doing so...

Then...

However...

We don't want our audience to focus on us “making the most of our youth”.

The four of us want to play music that really moves people's hearts.

We may be a little different from your average band...

We didn't form our band for the sake of forming a band. We formed our band because the four of us are childhood friends who wanted to be together.

...!

But since then... Our feelings have evolved quite a bit. As I interacted with the others, I found myself wanting to play music that can touch the hearts of lots of people.

Even the songs you complimented us on...
They weren't written with selling records in mind.

Saki worked incredibly hard on them because she thought a lot about us and our audience.

That also goes for Ichika's lyrics and how Shiho plays during our shows. Our primary goal is to reach the hearts of as many people as we can.

That may seem unnecessary in terms of becoming professional musicians. But...

I... I want us to stay true to our feelings. No matter what.

...

Even if it means not being able to go pro...?

...

We still will...

We'll go pro without letting go of our feelings...

Not only that...
If we try to take advantage of something we shouldn't...

We won't be able to put on performances that we can enjoy and be satisfied with.

If we can't fully commit ourselves, we won't be able to play music that moves people's hearts. We won't reach anyone.

(If they can't fully commit...)

Yes, I see your point...

We know that going pro means making some sacrifices.

However, we want to be the ones who decide what we actually sacrifice.

So that we can stay true to our feelings.

I agree with Honami...

*Gasp*
Shiho...!

Mr. Shindo...
Yes, we want to go pro, but we won't be satisfied with just that.

We want to put on the best performances we can to move the hearts of as many people as we can. That's why we want to go pro.

As such, we're not going to let anything shake our beliefs.

If it's weapons we need, then we'll find some moving forward.

We're going to do everything we can to become a band that a label is proud to have...

So, please come see our next show.

We promise to make it an incredible one!

(Interesting...)

Understood...
If you're willing to say that much, it seems like I can expect something very good...

I'll be looking forward to your solo show.

Thank you...!

(They're going to decide what sacrifices they make in order to stay true to their feelings, eh...?)

Despite being so young, they've got some sharp tongues.

(However, life is not so easy...
You need to use whatever weapons are at your disposal to survive in this world.)

(But...)

(Going down that path does involve losing certain things...)

(Things that you wish to protect are especially at risk...)

They showed me their resolve today.
It's clear that they have no problem with expressing how they truly feel. So, they should be able to handle a few rough waves.

Still, that Mochizuki girl...
She seemed like the meek and quiet type, but she's actually got some backbone.

(I have a feeling that she's going to become the pillar that supports her band. I'll need to keep her in mind when we make our official offer...)

(Since bands that don't have someone like her usually end up falling apart...)

Hello, Boss? Is now a good time?
Okay, thank you.

I have some news regarding a band called Leo/need...
