So this is how Aqours' songs are written.

Ahaha… Sorry it's so messy.

It's no big deal. I always write all over the paper when I start to get writer's block.

I wish I could write more fluidly! It'd be nice to say just once that the ideas were flowing through me.

I don't have that kind of talent, though. I'm just normal! I always fret over it and make everyone wait until the last second.

I was the one that suggested we form Aqours, so I wish I could at least write without causing everyone trouble.

I haven't had much success with that, though.

Chika…

But still… I want to write good songs for Aqours. I want to write the words that will bring out the best in us.

If I don't have the natural talent, then I'll just have to think and write and think and write…and spend lots of time doing it!

…

Ah… Ahahaha! This is how I always try my best to write lyrics.

But in the end, I'm always too slow and Riko rushes me, then everyone else helps me with it.

Chika. I don't think you're just normal.

What? No, I really am.

I feel like just writing one song takes so much energy.

You don't just write what's in your heart, but you make sure it gets to your listener's. Not everyone can do that.

Worrying about it and suffering through to the end to write your lyrics makes them special!

That makes them special…

I can tell just by looking at this notebook how much effort, love, and hope was put into your songs.

The passion you put into Aqours is practically overflowing from the lyrics!

That's why Aqours' songs resound in people's hearts. That's why you guys shine so brightly when you sing them, too.

*Chuckle* You embarrass me when you put it like that.

I'm serious though! It may seem a little pretentious, but I really mean it! Thanks for letting me take a look!

You're welcome. I know you're being serious, too. You're not the kind of person that would lie.

I always try my best to write songs, but hearing you say that takes a burden off my shoulders.

I'm so happy that my songs help everyone in Aqours shine.

Yeah, and it's not just me. I'm sure lots of people get strength from you and Aqours.

Thanks.
