Phew...
(This demo's coming along nicely...)
Oh, wait... I might want to make this part sound a little sadder.
Hmm... The pre-chorus is going to affect how the rest of this song is going to feel, so I should probably put as much effort as I can into it. I'll ask Saki about this later and...
Huh...?
<Hehe. You finally noticed.>
M-Miku! How long have you been there?
<About ten minutes.
But I didn't want to break your concentration, so I decided to sit back and watch you work.>
<Are you writing the song for that collaboration?>
Yeah. The melody's just about finished, so I'm thinking about having Miku sing it.
<The theme is “This Moment With You!”, yes? I'm looking forward to hearing a youthful and energetic song.>
Me too...
<...? I thought you already knew what it'll sound like since you just said the melody's finished.>
Yeah, but...
Things can change after hearing Miku sing it.
I know that sounds strange since we're the ones writing these songs.
<I'm sure that has something to do with hearing it actually sung for the first time...>
*Nod*
<Is something wrong, Ichika...?>
No, nothing's wrong.
It's just...
It really is strange how I'm able to talk to you like this.
Little me who'd just discovered you existed would probably be shocked speechless if she heard about this.
<Hehe. That'd be so cute.>
<Actually, based on what you said in SEKAI about you from back then, she would've reacted in an even cuter way.>
Huh? Y-You think so...?
<Yes, for example...>
<Hello, Ichika. I'm the Miku from your girls' SEKAI.>
M-Miku's talking...!
And she knows my name...!
H-Hello!
My name is Ichika Hoshino... No, wait, you already know that...
Uhh... I love the way you sing and I listen to your songs all the time! Umm... And...
<Hehe. It's okay. Try to relax.
I'm listening, Ichika.>
*Gasp*
You said my name again...!
<I'll say your name as much as you like, Ichika. But that's not all I can do.>
<Look. I can also play the guitar.>
What?!
Th-That's amazing...! You're amazing, Miku!!
I can also kind of play the guitar!
So, can we...?
<Yes, I'd love to play with you.
And sing if possible.>
Sing?! Are you sure?!
<Yes. After all, I love to both play and sing.>
<What do you think? That's one way you'd react, right?>
Y-Yeah...
(I wish I could say I wouldn't get that hyper...)
(But I doubt I would've been able to contain myself if she asked me to sing and play the guitar with her...)
(I need to make sure the song I'm writing right now turns into one that I absolutely want Miku to sing.)
Thanks, Miku.
I feel even more motivated now after talking to you.
<Really? Then, I'm glad I came over to see how you were doing.>
<Anyway, I'll head back to SEKAI and let you get back to work. I'm looking forward to hearing your song.>
Thanks! Saki and I promise to make it a good one!
Alright, back to work...!
