Oh, here it is...!
“The Miku Collaboration Album!”
That's great, Ichi!
I'm glad they still had some limited-edition ones in stock!
Me too! We were so busy getting for our solo show that I completely forgot to reserve a copy. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get one...
You really have amazing luck when it comes to these things, Ichika. Remember how you got the last copy of that other CD?
What if it's because they're Miku CDs?
They might've been waiting for you to come pick them up.
Hehe. That's a nice thought.
Anyway, I'll take this up front.
Okay♪ See you in a bit!
Oh, while we wait, wanna check out what they have in the shelves in the back with all the indie bands?
Indie bands? That sounds fun♪
Let's go! Let's go!
All the artists on these shelves...
They're all indie bands?
Yeah, this shop usually has a pretty good selection.
Like... Oh, found it.
Whoa! The artwork's so cool!
Do you like this band, Shiho?
More that they're people I know.
Y-You know them?!
I subbed in for them a couple times when they were down a bassist, but I heard they found one and made their debut a little while ago...
Really?
Then, they're more experienced than us, aren't they?
In terms of being pros, yes.
Pros...
Thanks for waiting!
It's okay. You weren't gone long.
Sorry, I'm gonna buy this one if you guys don't mind waiting a bit...
...
Hm? Saki...?
You spaced out for a second there. Is everything okay?
Oh, um... No, it's nothing...
But we're really gonna go pro soon, huh?
We still have our contract to discuss, but if things go well, yes.
My mind still hasn't quite caught up yet...
Hehe. Mine neither...
But...
In the not-so-distant future, we might start seeing our own CDs on this store's shelves...!
Yeah.
*Sigh*
(This isn't a dream, right?)
(We really get to keep playing music together... As pros...)
Oh, hey...! A STANDOUT CD.
You're right. They're being featured as a one of the hottest indie bands out there right now. I guess they are just that famous.
If Shiho joins them, she could actually make it and debut as a pro...
But what if she starts drifting away from us...?
(I felt so sad that time, but...)
(The four of us finally made it to this point...!)
(I hope we get to keep playing music together and have our songs heard by lots of people!)
Hehe. Saki, you seem so happy.
Hehe. I was just imagining what it might be like when they make a big display for Leo/need♪
A display just for us? I think you're getting ahead of yourself.
But it's important to visualize these things, right?
They said on TV that visualization leads to success!
Isn't that just for professional athletes?
Huh? What are you...? Oh yeah, it is.
Hehe.
Haha.
