This is it. Our show's really happening. I'm so nervous...!
Even after going on and on last night during our group call saying, “I'm so excited! I can't wait!”
Because I was!
I'm so excited that my heart's going crazy right now!
I understand how she feels. We walk down this street all the time, but it seems different today for some reason...
It shouldn't seem so unfamiliar, but it does. What an odd sensation.
What?! You seem totally fine, Hona!
Aren't you nervous...?
No, I think I am... But...
But...?
We have a lot to do when we get to the live house, right?
My head's been occupied by that all since yesterday... That may be why I'm not feeling that nervous or anxious.
Actually, Honami, that makes sense knowing you.
Yeah! Hona, I'll help you with all the thinking if you share half of my nervousness!
Um, half of it might be a lot...
Hehe. Don't forget about my nervousness, Honami. Here, have as much as you like.
I think she's okay, actually.
Haha!
Hehe.
Good morning!
We've been looking forward to today for quite some time!
Yes, so have I.
So, let's get down to business by starting with ticket sales.
Yes, here is our reservation list.
I've placed the remaining advance tickets in this envelope.
Thank you.
I'll use this to update my list.
Thank you.
Also, about our timetable and set list...
Oh, Ichi, look! Hona's like a cool businesswoman♪
Hehe. I mean, Honami is Honami.
I can hear you two...
Hehe. We wanted you to hear us♪
Just kidding...!
Oh, you...
Welcome, Leo/need!
We're gonna run a sound check now, right? We'd like to start with the drums, so if you can get ready for us!
Okay, be right there!
Um, want me to help?
Haha. Thanks, but we should be able to handle it!
You're here as a member of Leo/need today, Hinomori. You can leave the checks to us!
Right. Thanks.
No problem! You can count on us!
Ichika, Saki, they're probably gonna run a bass check next, so I'll stay here and get ready for that.
Okay. Then, we'll be in the green room.
Shiho, Hona, see you in a bit!
Okay, see you soon!
...
Are you starting to feel nervous...?
A little...
But that shouldn't be a problem. Our sound check should distract me.
I know. I'm not all that worried about you.
Come to think of it, the sound from your bass drum has felt different lately.
Hm? Do you think so?
This is just my gut feeling, but I think it has more presence... You sound clearer and more accurate.
Really? But it's not like I've changed my technique or anything...
Anyway, regardless of the actual reason, the way you're currently drumming makes it really easy to play along. Even more than before.
...!
Thank you so much, Shiho!
Oh, were you trying to get me to feel less nervous...?
Not really. I was just telling you what was on my mind.
Hehe. I see.
The drums are all set!
We're ready to start the sound check!
Oh, coming!
Alright, have fun.
Yes, I will!
