These photos are the pride of the Natsukawa Photography Studio. Look.

Oh, wow…

Incredible…

I don't know what to say… It's like every subject in each photo is unaware that they're being photographed…

They have a really fun air about them.

Exactly. Their facial expressions make you think that the photo was taken mid-conversation, right? But they're all looking right at the camera.

Hey, here's a Shichi-Go-San commemorative photo.

It's so cute! Everyone's all smiley.

Ayumu and I have taken ones like this before. Ayumu was all nervous and frozen stiff.

Right? Pretty neat, huh? There are even more of these pictures yet.

After turning my focus to photography, I knew it wouldn't be an easy road. But I thought that if I keep working hard, I could revitalize this photo studio.

Even so, I don't think I can take pictures as lovely as these, even if I keep trying at the rate I'm going…

Mai…

Mai. Will you hear us out about the time you passed your song down to Emma?

Huh?! Wait, that's—

Emma looked super happy when you passed your song down to her onstage. Remember that, Mai?

But as time went on, she became more and more anxious. When I asked her about it, she said she felt pressured.

At first she was just happy, but then she was worried about if it was okay for her to sing the song and whether or not she could convey your and everyone else's feelings.

Is that true, Emma? I mean, onstage you're always…

Yeah. The feelings in that song were too much for me…

But it's that song that brought me to Japan, so I definitely didn't want to give up.

That's why I did a lot of special training. I asked Karin and Ai for training tips, while Shizuku and Shioriko taught me how to carry myself.

Emma…

I've made up my mind. I'm going to train too. I'd bring shame to you if I sat around, moped, and did nothing!

Join me for my own special training, Emma!

Yeah, of course!
