Morning♪

Whoa, hold on! There's really nobody here!

It is pretty early.

The ones having morning practice are probably all with their respective clubs right now.

Hehe. That means we can talk about our song all we want until homeroom!

Right. I'd like to keep discussing that part we talked about on the phone yesterday...

Oh, about fixing up the chorus?

I recorded a few samples and was wondering how they sounded. Can you give them a listen with me?

Sure, let's!

Phew...!

This is going pretty smoothly, huh?

Yeah, it is. All that's left is to hear what the others think.

Yup♪

Oh, that reminds me! I got an idea for another song while I was making adjustments and stuff♪

Hehe. That was fast.

Another song already?

You could say that a little nicer♪

Anyway, here! Listen!

Oh...

That's a long fade-in.

I know, right? I found a bunch of songs that start like that and really liked them all!

So I wanna try doing something like this too!

Sure, why not?

It seems like a nice way to build up some anticipation for what's coming next.

Yay! I'm definitely saving this idea for later, so maybe someday!

Oh, also!

Hehe♪ I have this other great idea...

Another one...?

Yeah! Remember my notebook titled, “100 Things I Want To Do”...?

Of course. The one you made while you were in the hospital.

It has all the things you want to do when you started coming back to school, right?

Correct!

I was thinking that it'd be nice to have something like that for all the songs we're gonna make, you know?

Oh, that could be helpful...

See?!

Hehe. I'm gonna go grab a notebook from the school store later. Let's go pick one out together♪

Sure, I'll go!

Yay!

Um, Saki...?

Hm?

You haven't been able to do many things from that list because of how busy we've been with band stuff, huh...?

Yeah, I know...

But that doesn't bother me right now. There are a lot of things that I want to do, but I can do them one at a time while we focus on our band.

On the flip side, I get to play music with all of you every single day!

That's way more important to me♪

Saki...

Writing songs and practicing like this isn't easy...

But I get super duper excited whenever we all play something that I came up with♪

And you're the one writing lyrics for my music and singing our songs, Ichi! I still can't believe it!

I never thought being in a band could be so much fun, so I wanna keep putting that first!

I see...

By the way, I've been making some changes to the “100 Things I Want To Do”♪

Oh, did you add more?

Heh heh heh.

I'll tell you when I feel the time is right.

Aww, not even a little hint?

Nope. It's a secret until then♪

Oh, but the notebook we're gonna go get later is for everyone to see!

Hmm...

If that's the case, why don't we leave it in SEKAI?

It's somewhere we all go to often, and we can talk about what we write in it whenever we're visiting, no?

Yeah! That's a great idea♪

Alright, let's do that!

Hehe. I can't wait to get started.
