Rin

Listen

Whoa! So, they're really gonna sign you to a deal?!
2

Saki

Listen

Yup!
We're meeting this weekend to discuss it!
3

Miku

Listen

That's amazing.
Your dream of going pro might actually come true.
4

Len

Listen

I mean, their solo show did go pretty well.
5

Luka

Listen

Yes, it did.
And it's wonderful to hear such good news.
6

MEIKO

Listen

Thank you for dropping by to tell us this, girls.
7

Ichika

Listen

You shouldn't be thanking us.
We really should be the ones thanking you.
8

KAITO

Listen

But it's also nearly the weekend, right?
9

Saki

Listen

Yeah! My heart won't stop pounding!
I'm already getting kinda nervous about going over to their office!
10

Saki

Listen

What should we wear?
Suits?!
11

Ichika

Listen

I agree that we need to show that we're serious, but suits might be a bit much...
12

Honami

Listen

It may actually have the opposite effect.
13

Saki

Listen

Oh, right...
Then, we'll be fine in our regular clothes?
14

Shiho

Listen

Also, Saki, you seem a lot better now...
15

Saki

Listen

Huh?
16

Shiho

Listen

You felt scared about what was gonna happen after we went pro, right?
17

Shiho

Listen

But you don't seem bothered by that at all now.
18

Saki

Listen

Oh...
19

Saki

Listen

Yeah...
It did bother me a little until just recently... But I feel all better now.

Saki

Listen

I figured out a way to deal with my fears like you said, Shiho!
21

Honami

Listen

Hehe...
You already found your answer, Saki?
22

Saki

Listen

I did!
I mean, I can't straggle behind while the rest of you keep moving forward!
23

Saki

Listen

So... I'm really excited about us going pro now.
24

Saki

Listen

Because we'll probably get to do lots and lots more stuff like Iori and Saku said!
25

MEIKO

Listen

You seem confident, Saki.
26

Saki

Listen

Huh?
Y-You think so?
27

MEIKO

Listen

Yes. The look on your face right now tells me that Leo/need will be able to handle whatever comes its way.
28

MEIKO

Listen

As for your solo show...
It was good, and I'm guessing everyone there was moved by your performance.
29

MEIKO

Listen

I think that happened because you were being yourselves.
30

Saki

Listen

Being ourselves...?
31

Honami

Listen

Yes, during the last song in particular, we sort of just let ourselves go while we played it.
32

Ichika

Listen

Yeah.
I remember noticing that Saki had switched up her sound.
33

Ichika

Listen

That was when I realized how we didn't have to try so hard to sound good. We could just have fun, and that's what makes our music what it is...
34

Ichika

Listen

Once I knew that, things felt so much simpler, and I just had fun singing and playing my guitar...
35

Saki

Listen

Ichi...
36

Shiho

Listen

...
To be honest, we probably weren't as good technically compared to when we played with anemone, but the crowd was really on our side this time around...
37

MEIKO

Listen

Exactly...
Music isn't just about technical mastery.
38

MEIKO

Listen

The emotions I felt during that song...
You all looked like you were having so much fun while playing it. Again, it was a very moving performance...
39

MEIKO

Listen

It reminded me just how much I love Leo/need...
40

MEIKO

Listen

So, even after you take this next big step, I hope you girls never forget that feeling.
41

Saki

Listen

MEIKO...
42

MEIKO

Listen

Keep up the good work.
We'll always be rooting for you, no matter what.
43

Saki

Listen

...
44

Saki

Listen

Thank you so much!
45

Miku

Listen

This means more and more people might start listening to your music.
46

Miku

Listen

That's so exciting...
A few days later
Solis Records

47

Shiho

Listen

Thank you very much for inviting us here today. So, regarding our deal...
48

Shindo

Listen

Haha. There's no need to act so formal. Let's keep things friendly since we're going to be working together from now on.
49

Ichika

Listen

Together...
50

Shindo

Listen

As for the details, we'll be going over each part of your contract one at a time.
51

Shindo

Listen

This is going to feel like a tough slug, so I hope you're all prepared.
52

Honami

Listen

Y-Yes, of course.
53

Shindo

Listen

Then, once we've gone over all that, you'll be given a chance to discuss it amongst yourselves...
54

Shindo

Listen

Also, because you're all minors, you'll need to go home and ask your parents or guardians to review it.
55

Shindo

Listen

They'll be more than welcome to contact me directly if they have any outstanding questions regarding this process.
56

Honami

Listen

Understood...
57

Shindo

Listen

Again, there's quite a lot to go over and it's going to take time to review it all...
58

Shindo

Listen

But once you sign after confirming that everything is in order, you'll officially be signed to our label as artists.
59

Shindo

Listen

So, shall we begin by reviewing the stipulations laid out in this contract?
60

Shiho

Listen

Yes, thank you.
61

Shindo

Listen

First, I'll give each of you a copy of it.
Here it is...
62

Saki

Listen

Whoa! This font's tiny!
Yeah, it's definitely gonna take a lot of time to go through all this!
63

Saki

Listen

But it's full of really important stuff, right? I'll do my best to read as much as I can!
64

Ichika

Listen

U-Um, Saki...?
65

Shindo

Listen

Haha. Like I said, feel free to relax.
It'll make my job easier as well.
66

Shindo

Listen

More to the point, if you do sign this contract, I will...
67

Shindo

Listen

I'll be your main point of contact, so again, let's keep things friendly between us.
68

Ichika

Listen

Thank you very much.
69

Saki

Listen

(Once we sign this contract, we'll officially start working as artists for this label.)

Saki

Listen

(We'll have our deal...
Our dream... We'll finally be pros!)
71

Saki

Listen

(I get that a lot of things are gonna happen moving forward... Some fun and some not so fun...)
72

Saki

Listen

(But I'm not hesitating anymore.
And I don't feel scared now. I'm okay...)
73

Saki

Listen

(Wanting our music to be heard and wanting to keep playing music with them... Both things matter to me... A lot.)
74

Saki

Listen

(I'll be fine as long as I don't forget that.)
75

Saki

Listen

(So, I'm gonna keep trying...)
76

Saki

Listen

(Leo/need's gonna keep trying...
To move people's hearts with the music we love!)
