No, this doesn't feel right.

It needs to be more...

(It has to remind them of all their happy memories even when they're apart from one another.)

(I don't actually know much about them...)

(But I have to think these memories exist.)

(I mean, I'm here doing this because I had so much fun with the others...)

(The girls and I are back together again because of our own wonderful memories.)

(I know those two might not have a choice but to go their separate ways at this point. However...)

(As long as they have these memories and look forward to the future, I'm sure they'll someday be able to look back and smile...)

(This is what I want this song to be about...)

Okay, here... “To you”...? No, “For you”... That sounds much better...

(That's it for the first verse...

I'll take a quick break before starting the second.)

(Oh, maybe I should look over the first verse again to make sure it doesn't sound weird.)

“Add up all the joy you've felt since you met”...

That reminds me...

(Meeting everyone was the best thing that's ever happened to me.)

(But this other discovery made me feel almost just as happy.)

(I got so worked up that I couldn't fall asleep that night and almost ran late the next day...)

(I hurried over to school to ask Saki and the others about playing this song together...)

Hehe. That really takes me back...

(I discovered Miku songs...

And I ended up meeting her in SEKAI...)

(Without her, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back together like this...)

(I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am for that...)

(I know...

I should work these feelings into my lyrics.)

(The joy of meeting someone...

And this desire to keep singing with them.)

Done...

(Thank you so much for the advice you gave me, Luka...)

(Uh oh...

I'm glad I'm done, but I feel so sleepy now...)

(We're supposed to practice in SEKAI in the morning too... I should probably get in a quick nap...)

(No, I should just head over...

We need to write the music for this and start practicing it.)

(Also...

I really want to hear what everyone thinks.)

(I hope this song's able to ease some of the pain those two are feeling right now...)

(I'm early, and it looks like no one else is here yet... Miku and the others should be... Huh?)

...

Miku's sleeping while sitting...

(Oh, the chalkboard behind her is covered in ideas for our song...)

(Did she come up with these with everyone else after I left...?)

Thank you so much, Miku...

Morning!!

Huh?!

Eep!

Wh-What's going on...?!

Oh, Ichi! Miku!

Morning! You're both here so early!

Shiho! Hona!

Ichi's already here!

She is?

You know what time it is, right?

Wait, Ichika, you didn't stay up all night, did you? Are you sure you're up to this?

Yes. I actually feel pretty good right now.

Hey, I thought I heard people!

You guys are already here!

How can anyone have so much energy in the morning?

I think that's actually a good thing...

Oh, KAITO, the hair on the back of your head needs some fixing.

Huh...?

Also, how are your lyrics coming along...?

Oh, they're done...!

Which is why I want to hear what you all think.

(Everyone's gone so quiet...

Should I say something...?)

(Or did I not do very good...)

*Sob*

Huh?! Honami, what's wrong...?!

Huh...?! I'm sorry...

It's just... This reminded me of everything before we got our band back together...

This reminded me of junior high too...

Yeah...

I was reminded of how I couldn't see any of you back then and the moment we got back together...

Thanks for writing such amazing lyrics, Ichi...

*Gasp*

Thank goodness...!

What do you and the others think, Miku?

Oh...

They're wonderful lyrics, Ichika...

Miku...

Oh no! Miku-P, are you okay?!

Len, get her a handkerchief!

R-Rin, you don't have one?!

Oh, I think I left mine in the other classroom...

Hehe. Here, Miku.

You can use this.

Th-Thank you...

They really are wonderful lyrics, Ichika...

This song brings up some sad emotions, but gently wraps you in love and warmth...

Thank you very much, Luka...!

Alright!

Let's get down to writing music for it!

The melody we came up with yesterday should go great with this... How does this sound?

That's astounding!

Oh, but... It might be good to slow it down a bit.

I agree. A simpler sound and mellower pace would go better with these lyrics.

Okay, how about something like this?

There...

This... This is such a good song!

It absolutely is...!

Not only does the music go perfectly with Ichika's lyrics, but the intro also really tugs at your heartstrings...!

Oh no... What if I start crying in the middle of playing it...?!

Do your best to hold back those tears.

Hehe.

I'm just glad we were able to come up with something that sounds right...

Oh...

Haha... Sounds like I worked up an appetite...

We did sort of skip lunch to keep working on this.

Hehe. Nice work, girls!

I can't believe you were able to come up with something this good in so little time. Your focus was incredible.

I agree. It's clear how seriously you all took this.

Thank you all very much.

The truth is, I kept thinking about all of you while writing these lyrics...

Wait, us?

Yes. Meeting Saki and the others was definitely an incredibly happy moment for me...

But meeting all of you means just as much to me.

You guys opened my eyes by teaching me that music comes in all shapes and sizes.

Now, we're back together as a band and trying to go pro.

None of that would've been possible without any of you.

So, Miku... Everyone...

Thank you very much.

I'm so grateful that we met.

I'll probably never get a chance like this again... Not even if I was reborn and given another opportunity...

Ichika...

You say these really profound things from time to time...

I know, right?!

It's like she becomes a total sage sometimes!

What?!

I agree...

Hehe.

I hope this song has a positive effect on Hanano and her brother...

Me too!
