Alright, you guys, here's our next song!

♪————! ♪————!!

(This stage is bigger than I was expecting.)

(The crowd doesn't look very big, but there probably are a lot of people here based on the capacity of this venue...)

C'mon! I know you guys can do better than that!

Thanks, everyone!

Enjoy the festival, okay?!

(Good performance...)

(They probably debuted around the same time as us, but they didn't let the size of this stage affect them.)

(The next band's on in... Let's see... Thirty minutes? I guess I should go back to where the others are, but...)

...ho... Shiho.

Huh...?

Hey, Shiho!

Saki...?

Oh, you're all here.

What are you spacing out for?

We kept calling your name, but you wouldn't notice.

Sorry, I was thinking about something.

But are you all here to watch the other bands?

We actually came looking for you after you said that you wanted to watch them.

We sent quite a few messages, but I guess you didn't notice them.

Oh, you're right...

Sorry, I was focused on the show.

We had a feeling.

Back in the green room just now, we were talking about going over to see the main stage!

And we wanted to see what you thought, Shiho.

Oh, about that...

I also plan on checking out the main stage, but I'd like to keep watching here for a bit longer.

Is a band you like going to be playing soon?

Not exactly.

I'm trying to imagine what it's gonna be like when we do this for real.

Imagine, huh?

The rookie stage is the smallest one at this festival, but for us, it'll be the biggest stage we've ever played on.

And the crowd attending this festival seems kinda different from the ones we've encountered until now.

Which is why I want to get a clear image of us performing up there. So that I don't lose my nerve.

This is our first time playing at a big festival, so I really don't want to make any mistakes.

I see...

So, feel free to go see whoever you like. I'm going to stay here for a bit longer, but I promise to keep an eye out for your messages.

In that case, I think we should all stay here and watch.

Huh?

I'd pictured it myself, but I still don't have a good feel for the audience.

Me neither. I'd like to try what you're doing, Shiho.

Yeah, we should do everything we can to make sure we put on a good performance!

So, Shiho, give us a lecture regarding what we need to do♪

I mean, there's nothing for me to lecture about...

But you all are more than welcome to join me.
