Okay, that's all for today's practice!
Good work, everyone!
Good work today!
Phew... That sure was a workout!
(I haven't been able to do club stuff much lately since we've been busy doing that show and getting our contracts sorted...)
(But it really is great to get my body moving!)
Hello, everyone!
Huh?! Is that...?
Hehe, it's been a while!
Sorry to drop in out of the blue.
Oh! You came to visit us?!
It's you! It's been so long!
Oh, Saki! Looks like you're doing well.
I am!
Hehe, I'm happy to see you again after so long!
Oh, but what brings you here today?
It's great to see you at practice again...!
Well... It's almost graduation for us, y'know?
So, we figured we'd show our faces around here one last time.
Oh...
Right...
Once you graduate, you won't be coming by to see us like this very much...
Yeah... We'll miss you...
Hey now, don't give us those sad looks!
She's right! We came here to take a picture with you, after all!
A picture?
Yeah. We're actually putting a photo album together.
We wanted one of our own, not just the yearbook!
We want to be sure that the fun memories we've made will last.
Your memories...
Yup! I mean, we'll always be able to remember them if we've got a photo album, right?
Those times we all had ice cream at the convenience store after practice, or took Print Stickers together, all of that.
That's why we want to take a picture with all of you today! How about it?
Of course!
And please send us the picture too!
(Making sure your precious memories last... That's a wonderful thing to keep in mind.)
(Oh yeah, speaking of photo albums...!)
Hmm, where did I write it...?
I think it was on one of the later pages...
Here it is! Number 95 on my “List of 100 Things to Do Once I'm Back in School”!
“Make lots of fun memories and put them in a photo album!”
Hehe, this really takes me back...
It was right around the end of the school year when I wrote this... They were talking about yearbooks and stuff on TV, and I really wanted one.
I couldn't hang out with friends while I was in the hospital, so... I also wished I could make enough memories one day to put together an album...
But now... I've made lots of fun memories.
Playing in a band with Ichi and the others, studying in a classroom with everyone, not to mention participating in every school event, like the Seaside School and the field trip...
We want to be sure that the fun memories we've made will last.
I also wanna treasure the memories I've made with everyone forever...
Alright!
I'm gonna make my very own album just like my seniors!
Oh, but... There are still some things left to do on my list.
Like, “Have a sleepover and fall asleep while chatting!” and “Eat crepes on Takeue Street”... I bet it'd be fun to do these with everyone!
I did have a sleepover with Ichi and the others a while ago, but we stayed up until morning that time, so we'll have to do it again!
Hehe. I always wanted to do that thing where you ask your friends, “Hey, are you still awake?”♪
If I'm making an album, I should do all this stuff and take pictures for it!
Let's see... About how many things are there left to do?
One, two, three... Oh!
“Take classes with everyone for a year.” Hehehe, this one deserves a biiig check mark♪
“Make a lot of friends” is also done...
And I went to Yokohama on the field trip, so I'll give “Go someplace far away to have fun” a check!
I haven't been looking at this notebook much since I've been busy with band stuff lately, but...
Look how many things I wanted to do that I've accomplished without even realizing...!
Let's see, how many others have I not finished yet...?
So about twenty more, huh...?
If that's all, it might actually be pretty easy to finish them all off if I tried...!
Alright! I'm gonna accomplish aaall the stuff I wanted to do, take lots of pictures and make them into an awesome album!
First up is... Oh, this one should be good♪
