Okay, Akito should be...

Oh, hey, there you are!

Oh, you're here.

You said that the track's coming along nicely. Can I hear it? I really want to...!

Calm down. Yes, it's coming along, but I've only built its foundation.

Its foundation...

So, like the drums and beat...?

Oh, you can leave coming up with cool ideas to me! I'm sure I'll think of something!

Okay. Anyway, I'll play it now.

What do you think...?

Yeah, it totally goes with our “Silence & Action” theme!

Especially the “Silence” part! That was so awesome! It's like it resonated with my entire body!

Yeah, I did work pretty hard on that part.

Also... Hmm... Oh.

We might be able to capture “Action” better with the intro by having it start quiet, then explode!

What? But it already sort of does that.

I'm saying we can emphasize that more! It starts out quiet as it is, right? I think we can really make it pop after building up all that anticipation.

No, I... Wait, what do you mean...?

What? You know exactly what I mean.

Start quiet and end with a bang!

So... How exactly do you want to make that happen?

How exactly...?

Hmm... Can't we think of that together?

What in the world are you two talking about? Something about a quiet explosion...?

Kotaro! Were you listening to our conversation just now?

I only heard part of it.

I got really confused after hearing, “Start quiet and end with a bang!”

We were working on the new song for our event, and this one started saying all these weird things.

Oh, that's what you guys were doing?

Mind if I listen to it? I might get a better idea of what you're talking about if I did.

Sure, go for it.

I see...

Yeah, now I understand.

I guess it could have a better bang.

See? Kotaro gets it!

I think I do.

Akito, you probably shouldn't hold back so much here.

Why is this my fault all of a sudden?!

Ugh... Isn't there anyone else I can discuss this with?

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!

What's so bad about us?!

Yeah, what she said!

Alright, you two. Quit teasing, Shinonome.

Finally, someone who'll understand...

Please, help...

I decided to eavesdrop a bit since it seemed like you two were talking about something interesting. But I think An's trying to say how...

Yeah, that! Varying the tempo!

It should sound a lot quieter in the beginning and...

We can increase the number of notes for the chorus. BOOM! Like a huge explosion of energy!

Why couldn't you say that before?! Ugh...

Still, you two seem to make tracks in a very interesting way.

We were just discussing how to make it better while listening to it.

But Akito was having trouble understanding what I was trying to say.

Honestly, you brushed off my comment like it was nothing but hung on Arata's every word.

Yeah, Akito, you big bully!

Tono's comment was completely different from what you two said!

Also, you started messing with me partway through.

Huh? No, I wasn't...

Still, Akito, you're pretty stubborn.

I think you should relax and have more fun with this.

Anyway, back to our song!
