Len
Oh, then how about the sound eating a hamburger makes?
7.9
Toya
I see. That certainly could be interesting.
An
Hey, sorry for the wait...
What were you guys talking about?
Kohane
I heard something about hamburgers...
Akito
Specifically, the sound they make when
you take a big bite of one.
Toya
We were discussing sounds that might make
for interesting samples for our music.
Len
It would be fun to gather lots of sound effects on
your trip in the US, and use them for music!
An
Huh, that does sound good!
Kohane
We'd be able to look back fondly on
our trip when we listen to them later.
Akito
Sure, but we have burgers in Japan too.
Len
Yeah, but they're so much bigger here!
Kohane
Hehe, that's true. I was really shocked at first.
An
What about the ads and stuff playing on the street?
Those are all in English!
Akito
That could work.
An
Right?
Toya
What about street performances?
Len
Ah, like the ones we heard on that street
near the Academy of Music!
An
There were so many different genres,
just walking down the street was fun.
Kohane
And the kids playing homemade instruments
were so adorable, too.
Toya
Yes. People gathering for the pure love of music...
It was a wonderful place.
Toya
I think I understand how my dad felt
when he visited that street, too.
Akito
Yeah, maybe. Also, speaking of
sounds from our trip...
Kohane
Oh... We should have recorded that
session we had in the courtyard.
An
Yeah! I was so caught up in singing
that I barely remember it.
Kohane
Me too...
Akito
It was all pretty sudden.
Toya
Right. I can't remember it clearly myself.
Toya
But...
I know I felt something magical while singing.
Len
Something magical?
Toya
Yes... I don't know if I can put it into words.
Toya
But in that sound, it felt as though the
boundaries between me and everything else faded...
Toya
It was as though I felt
wind blowing, like from an open door.
Len
Hmmm... I don't think I get it,
but yeah, I kinda get it!
Akito
Which is it?
Len
Huh?! It's both!
Kohane
Hehe.
Hahaha.
An
Hehe.
Hahaha.
Toya
I'm sorry I can't explain it more clearly.
Toya
Oh, I know. Maybe it would be
easier to convey if I tried to put it into song.
Len
Into song?
Toya
Yes. I can try to draw that feeling back,
while we all perform together.
Akito
Sure, I don't see why not.
Kohane
Okay! We can try to recapture
the excitement from our session.
Toya
Len, would you sing with us too?
Len
Of course!
I'm ready to go just thinking about it!
Toya
Thank you.
Toya
Then, let's begin.
HAVEN.
