The girls are improving so much.

Even just from the backing track they recorded, I can feel how strongly they want to make the solo show a success.

Hehe. Shiho is especially on her game.

(The way things are going, I'm sure they're on track for a great solo show.)

(But even then, I know they won't stop there.)

(They're going to keep perfecting their performance until the last second.)

I want to help them more.

Okay. I'll play it again from the start.

(I'll note down any comments or points for improvement and tell the girls later.)

(Oh... This part here.

Ichika said she felt like it lacked cohesion somehow.)

(Could it be that it's slightly off-beat? Or is the sound muddy?)

Let's listen one more time.

(Honami's drum beat is steady.)

(She's drumming with power and confidence...

And it feels as if she's adding her own personality to it.)

(Although, she could probably hit the kick drum with more strength for this part...)

I know! I'll ask MEIKO and Luka what they think.

Yes, I agree. It wouldn't hurt to hit the kick harder during that part.

Also, I think she could polish up the syncopated beat just before that.

That way, she'll create a nice contrast when the kick comes in.

I see...

Polish up...the syncopated...

Miku, what are you doing?

I'm making notes of issues I've noticed or parts that could be even better.

That way, I'll remember them for the girls' next practice.

And that should do it! Thanks, you two!

You're welcome.

You're very welcome!

(I'm glad I got their input. It makes sense that someone who plays an instrument regularly would spot things I wouldn't.)

Oh, that sound... It's Rin and the others.

Oh yeah. They might also have some insight on today's practice...

While I'm here, I should go ask them!

Phew...

I got so much good input from Rin and the others.

They were saying that Saki is rushing ahead in places, and...

Wait, what? Where's that sheet of notes?

This sheet is MEIKO and Luka's advice... This one is KAITO's...

That's weird. There should be one more...

Here you go.

Oh...! That's it! How did it get...here...?

You dropped it, so we came to give it back.

KAITO! And Rin and Len, too!

Silly Miku-P. It'd be such a waste to go losing your notes after working so hard on them.

It really would. We were really shocked when we found them, you know.

“We”? I was the one that found them. Well, that isn't important...

Anyway, we need to talk to you, Miku...

Talk to me?

Yes. We were wondering whether we should all give advice to the girls together...

Yeah♪ We want to help them pull off an amazing show just as much as you!

Yeah. You don't need to put this all on yourself. We're with you!

You guys...

But, this is just something like a personal project of mine...

That's exactly what I'd call putting it all on yourself.

MEIKO! Luka!

The two of us talked after you left, and we thought of many other pointers we wanted to share with the girls.

So, could you include us too?

...

There's no helping it. Well then, I guess we can all work on this together.

Woohoo!

Hey, Len and KAITO! Let's share what we talked about just now♪

I have a pen and paper ready. Tell me everything.
