(...
That's seven songs...!)

(I'm doing okay.
I'm tired...but I can still keep drumming.)

(I need to hang in there until the end...
So that everyone who came to see us goes home knowing that they just saw an unbelievable show!)

This next song will be our last...

(The others are so amazing...)

(We didn't have anywhere near the stamina we needed at first. Playing five songs totally drained us...)

(Ichi's voice sounds as clear as always. Shiho and Hona have been totally solid since our first song too.)

(Getting ready for our solo show was so hard, but they all did their best to get us here...)

(And some people out there feel genuinely encouraged by our songs...)

(Which means...)

(I need to play with everything I've got... To give everyone the best show ever...!)

Here we go...

Our last song!!!

♪————

(It's been a while since I last saw these girls play, but Ichika's power... Her band's performance... They've gotten so much better.)

(And they're already putting on their own shows...)

(Their dream of going pro together might come true sooner than they realize.)

To be fair, that's when things get tricky.

(Leo/need's style isn't really my cup of tea.)

(But their performances stir something deep inside me... All these emotions are starting to well up inside me... I like this feeling...)

(I thought only a few others felt the same way, but...)

(Who knew everyone had such good taste?)

(To be fair, I knew they were capable of this after our second battle.)

♪————!

(Ichi sounds amazing...
Her voice is sending shivers down my spine... More than usual...)

(I wanna ride this sound...
Then, each note we play will come together to...)

(...make everything super fun!)

(Saki's sound changed...)

(This is her usual sound with no frills attached... She's playing the way she does when we play our favorite songs together...)

(She doesn't care about playing well or how we'll be seen... Her sound just goes so well with this song.)

(And the audience...)

(Yes, this is what it's about.)

(The band still has a long way to go. We can practice all we want, but there are many more out there who are better than us.)

(But to us...
To Leo/need... It isn't about being the best...)

(It's about having fun the way Saki is right now... Playing alongside each other and doing what we truly love...)

(Yes... And this...)

(This is why I keep playing with them...)

...!
These girls...

...

(Now I see.
Regardless of what my brain is thinking, they've grabbed hold of my heart...)

(That must be why I like Leo/need's sound so much...)

♪————~~!!

(This song means everything to us, and I want them all to hear it...)

(I want it to reach them...
I want them to understand how we feel...!)

Nice...

My instincts were right.
No, if anything...

I was more than right.
I didn't expect them to get this good after playing in that show with anemone.

I'm glad that I spoke to them that time. If any of the other record companies had sent scouts to see today's show, well...

♪————~~!!

Things are definitely going to get busy...
