I think that sums up what I've been feeling until now!

I see...

I honestly had no idea, Shiraishi.

*Nod*

Unfortunately, my dream of having you guys meet Aunt Nagi never came true...

But now, I wanna sing with you guys and do everything we can to make sure she hears us!

I see...

Thank you, Shiraishi. I have a much better understanding of your thoughts and feelings now.

You're welcome!

Make sure the songs you write really reflect that, okay?

They will.

Lastly, Azusawa, would you mind telling me about your feelings?

Sure!

You've been talking for a while now.

Would you like me to refill these?

Oh, MEIKO!

Thank you for asking.

We're sorry for staying this long.

Not a problem.

It's nice to see you all working so hard.

MEIKO, we're here!

Which ice cream did you pick as the flavor of the day...? Huh?

Hey, you're all here today!

Your timing couldn't have been better.

Hello, KAITO.

Pardon the intrusion.

Huh?

What's this notebook for? It looks like you have a lot written down on it...

Oh, this is...

What?!

You were put in charge of making all the songs, Toya?!

Yes. I'm honestly still not sure about this...

But I decided to do what I can to accomplish this task. Starting with asking the others about their feelings.

Their feelings?

Yes. He's been asking them about the things they've thought and felt up to this point, and is going to work those into his songs.

Oh, I see! That sounds like a good plan, Toya!

While we're at it, would you mind if I took a peek at your notebook...?

I don't mind...

Yeah, me neither!

I guess you seeing it wouldn't be much of a problem...

Thank you!

Let's see...

Oh wow...!

Is this a timeline of events?!

Yes, I thought this was the best way of illustrating everything the others have felt until now.

What made them decide to start singing... What they've felt and been doing since experiencing or learning about RAD WEEKEND...

Having all those things laid out in an orderly manner has helped me make a few discoveries.

Yes, I see.

For Akito, it says...

“Started singing during junior high school.

Referred to videos online to practice...”

Hey, you didn't have to go into so much detail.

I'm sorry, but I thought these details would help me later on...

Hehe.

Aoyagi's so detail-oriented.

Yeah, true...

And you take everything you do pretty seriously.

Because I feel compelled to...

When I was told that I'd have to take all of your feelings and turn them into songs, I began wondering if I'd do any of you justice.

Because expressing someone else's feelings as if they're my own sounds incredibly difficult.

Which is why I felt the need to ask you all directly and put pen to paper like this.

You put that much thought into this talk...?!

You really never change...

And I think you're going to do just fine.

Huh?

You said you weren't sure just before, but I don't think you have any reason to worry at all.

Because you're already doing everything you can to do your teammates' feelings justice!

Also, ask me any questions you have about songwriting! I'll be more than happy to advise you!

Thank you very much.

I greatly appreciate your offer.

Anyway, let's get back to what we were talking about... Azusawa, are you ready?

Yeah! But I don't have as much to say about music compared to An and Shinonome...

No, that's okay.

Again, some things you have felt may seem insignificant, but they're a part of who you are right now.

So, please tell me everything you can.

What have you felt up to this point?

Okay, thanks!

Then, I'll start with...

(The shock and awe they felt after witnessing RAD WEEKEND...)

(The pure exhilaration they felt. Vowing to surpass that legendary night. Struggling to succeed. Doubting oneself.)

(Picking up music. The joy and apprehension of stepping into a new world...)

(And finally...)

(Deciding to surpass that dream, and go beyond it...)

(Okay...

I think I know how I'm going to turn all of these feelings into music now. Next is to actually start making it.)

(But that's the actual hard part...)

(Soma taught me quite a lot, but I still don't know much about writing my own songs...)

(I'll just have to learn as I go.

But I'm going to be pressed for time because of practice and all...)

Oh...

I can learn more by...

(I think that's all the books Dad has on this subject. I'll need to put them back in his study once I've finished reading through them...)

(Street and classical music are created in very different ways...)

(But these should still help.

After all, my knowledge of classical music has helped greatly when writing songs.)

(Anyway, I'll read these in my room.

Which may take all night...)
