I didn't really hear anything weird.
I thought you were really good, Nene. Your singing was as pretty as ever!

Tsukasa
But I'm not sure any of the comments or criticisms I or the others there were given that time apply to you, Nene.
Tsukasa
One person was told, “To sing with a clearer voice from the opening” while another was, “Articulate better so that it's easier to discern the lyrics.”
Rui
As far as what the layperson would know, vibratos and glissandos also come to mind... But I can't think of much else...
Rui
You're both an experienced stage performer and a talented singer, Nene. So, your “habits” may have nothing to do with your singing skills...
Nene
Thanks, everyone...
I know you're all busy working on your own roles, so I really appreciate your help.

Today, Nene, we've put this video together in the hopes that it'll give you some encouragement!>

Hehe. They made this for me?
It's a cute video. I like how so many of the plushies are in it...

<And please be sure to visit once it's over. We'd love to throw you all an after-party to celebrate a job well done.>
MEIKO
<We hope that you figure out the solution to your problem and are able to put on a wonderful performance!>
Emu
<Hehe. None of us can wait to hear you sing your beautiful songs as the Cowardly Canary, Nene!>
Tsukasa
<It pains us that we can't be of more help, but we're sure that you'll find a way...!>
Rui
<We unfortunately won't be much assistance when it comes to singing. That being said, we're always willing to lend an ear to your worries.>
Nene
Also, Rui said that my habits may have nothing to do with my actual singing skills...
Nene
Would seeing other singers perform help?

(I was hoping I could get in a quick nap, but it's already time for us to start practicing by ourselves...)
Nene
(Still, there are some things that I wanna try from those videos I saw. No one else seems to be practicing here, so now's my chance...)

(I have thirty in total. Some are subtle, some are fairly conspicuous. It's a lot, but I should test them all before practice...)

“Voice jumps at the end of songs”... No, not really... “Exaggerates vibratos a lot”... Kind of? But I have a hard time believing that's the answer...
Nene
(I went through twenty-five of these and I still don't have a clue as to what my problem is...)
Nene
(It feels like I'm not making any progress at all despite doing everything I possibly can.)
Nene
(Also, in the back of my mind, I know our show's just around the corner. It's why I've been trying to quickly figure out a solution to all this.)
