Thanks for listening, everyone.

That was a wonderful performance.

Looks like all those training sessions are really paying off, girls.

Huh? What training sessions?

Hehe. The thing is, we asked Luka and the others to help us prepare for today's mini-concert.

They wanted to make sure that they'd be able to give you the best performance possible and make today absolutely perfect.

I see...

What did you think? Did you have fun?

Yeah, of course.

You all played really amazing just now. Rather than a conscious effort, it was like we were all able to naturally sync and become one sound...

We were in such a good groove that I could sense what you were all feeling through each note.

Is this really happening...?!

Shiho's giving us so many compliments!

I know! I'm glad we worked so hard for this.

To be completely honest, some things caught my attention, but we can talk about that later.

Oh... I guess it wasn't all perfect, huh?

What?! But today's your birthday!

Happy! Cake! Party! Isn't that what your special day's supposed to be all about?!

That's different.

I mean, "Happy! Cake! Party!"...?

Oh, that was the song Saki was singing while you were out of earshot.

Yes, that song...

"Happy-happy cakey♪ Pa-Pa-Pa-Paaarty♪"

"Let's all celebrate Shiho's birthday♪"

Hehe. She was singing that the whole time when we were picking your birthday present too.

I couldn't help it! I've been really looking forward to this day!

Okay, I get the memo...

If you're so eager to party, we can cut our debrief a little short.

But we're still having one...

Of course. I mean, you all want to get better, right?

"Yeah!"

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"Yes!"

Then let's get it done and over with. Oh, but before that...

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday, you guys.

Um... I've never had this many people wish me a happy birthday before so it's a little embarrassing, but...

I couldn't be happier.

Thank you so much for today.

See you all again sometime.
