I should get going soon...

(Thank goodness I was able to score a ticket for this Iolite show.)

(They're celebrating their new release, so I'm guessing they'll be featuring all their latest stuff.)

(I can't wait...)

Phew.

That's two songs back-to-back from the album we just released last week!

Wow...

(They really are awesome...)

(It's like they know exactly how to grab a hold of my heart and make it beat faster and faster...)

(I liked what I heard on their CD, but there really is nothing like seeing them perform those songs live. They make it so much more fun...)

You guys sound way too excited!

Our show's just getting started!

But it's too soon for a break, right?

Why don't we play an oldie for them? Here's our third song, you guys.

Get ready!

♪————!!!

(It's this song... Talk about a blast from the past.)

(It's the song from my story.

The one that made my heart dance and had me wanting to shout out loud.)

(Everyone here's screaming like crazy.

They're probably feeling the same thing as me...)

(I wanna immerse myself more in this blaring sound!)

(She's so cool.)

(The aura I see when she's on stage, the sounds she can produce with her bass... None of that's changed after all these years. But...)

(It's not like she hasn't changed at all...)

(She and her band have become a lot better since then.)

I also need to...

Iolite was off the hook!

Yeah, I was on cloud nine from start to finish!

Me too! Also...

Their shows always give me the boost of energy I really need.

(It really was a great show.

I feel just as encouraged as them...)

(Iolite, my heroes... This is what they're capable of...)

(We're also pros now...)

(But we're just getting started on our journey. The road up ahead is where we'll really be put to the test.)

(Right now, I'm still lacking in terms of technical skills and consistency.)

I need to keep getting better.

So that I can catch up to her someday.
