Len

Listen

Oh, then how about the sound eating a hamburger makes?
7.9

Toya

Listen

I see. That certainly could be interesting.
Hey, sorry for the wait...
What were you guys talking about?

Kohane

Listen

I heard something about hamburgers...

Akito

Listen

Specifically, the sound they make when
you take a big bite of one.

Toya

Listen

We were discussing sounds that might make
for interesting samples for our music.

Len

Listen

It would be fun to gather lots of sound effects on
your trip in the US, and use them for music!
Huh, that does sound good!

Kohane

Listen

We'd be able to look back fondly on
our trip when we listen to them later.

Akito

Listen

Sure, but we have burgers in Japan too.

Len

Listen

Yeah, but they're so much bigger here!

Kohane

Listen

Hehe, that's true. I was really shocked at first.
What about the ads and stuff playing on the street?
Those are all in English!

Akito

Listen

That could work.
Right?

Toya

Listen

What about street performances?

Len

Listen

Ah, like the ones we heard on that street
near the Academy of Music!
There were so many different genres,
just walking down the street was fun.

Kohane

Listen

And the kids playing homemade instruments
were so adorable, too.

Toya

Listen

Yes. People gathering for the pure love of music...
It was a wonderful place.

Toya

Listen

I think I understand how my dad felt
when he visited that street, too.

Akito

Listen

Yeah, maybe. Also, speaking of
sounds from our trip...

Kohane

Listen

Oh... We should have recorded that
session we had in the courtyard.
Yeah! I was so caught up in singing
that I barely remember it.

Kohane

Listen

Me too...

Akito

Listen

It was all pretty sudden.

Toya

Listen

Right. I can't remember it clearly myself.

Toya

Listen

But...
I know I felt something magical while singing.

Len

Listen

Something magical?

Toya

Listen

Yes... I don't know if I can put it into words.

Toya

Listen

But in that sound, it felt as though the
boundaries between me and everything else faded...

Toya

Listen

It was as though I felt
wind blowing, like from an open door.

Len

Listen

Hmmm... I don't think I get it,
but yeah, I kinda get it!

Akito

Listen

Which is it?

Len

Listen

Huh?! It's both!

Kohane

Listen

Hehe.
Hahaha.
Hehe.
Hahaha.

Toya

Listen

I'm sorry I can't explain it more clearly.

Toya

Listen

Oh, I know. Maybe it would be
easier to convey if I tried to put it into song.

Len

Listen

Into song?

Toya

Listen

Yes. I can try to draw that feeling back,
while we all perform together.

Akito

Listen

Sure, I don't see why not.

Kohane

Listen

Okay! We can try to recapture
the excitement from our session.

Toya

Listen

Len, would you sing with us too?

Len

Listen

Of course!
I'm ready to go just thinking about it!

Toya

Listen

Thank you.

Toya

Listen

Then, let's begin.
HAVEN.
