Riko Ep. 3: I'm...in a Slump?!
You meet up with Riko again in Numazu. You ask what she talked with her old teacher about, which turned out to be her life in Uchiura and more.
Player
Riko!
Riko
Hello. It's been a while…or not really. Since the concert, huh?
| Option 1: “That concert was so much fun!” |
|---|
| Player Right. That concert was so much fun! Your teacher played so well. Riko You thought so? Thanks. Hearing that makes me glad to have been her student. |
| Option 2: “I was deeply impressed by your teacher's performance!” |
| Player I was moved by your teacher's performance! It made me want to play so badly, I ran all the way to the piano room at school! Riko Ahaha! Really? I know that feeling. Her performance gives us strength. |
Player
I can't believe you had such an incredible teacher. I wish I could listen to her more. Does she have CDs out?
Riko
I have a few. Want to borrow some?
Player
Could I? Are some of the songs she played on them?
Riko
Yeah. I'll bring them around next time.
Player
Thanks, Riko.
Riko
I'm glad you're so interested in her.
Player
Oh yeah. Didn't you meet up with your teacher after the concert? How was that?
Riko
Yes. We hadn't met since I left Tokyo, so I was nervous, but it was just like old times.
Player
It wasn't a lesson, so there was nothing to be afraid of, huh?
Riko
Afraid? I never said she was always scary.
Player
Ahaha, sorry!
Riko
She told me I changed. That I smile more.
Player
You didn't smile much back in Tokyo?
Riko
I'm sure I did, but…I guess it's just that I feel more free here in Uchiura than in Tokyo.
Player
Yeah. Being in a place with such a great view of the ocean, why would you worry about tests or allowance, right?
Riko
Well, of course I still worry about that stuff.
Player
Riko, you said you wanted to ask your teacher about something. What was it?
Riko
Hm? Oh. I just wanted to ask for some advice about song writing.
Player
Song writing? Like for Aqours? Don't tell me you've got writer's block? Can you still write music?!
Riko
Of course I can still write music! It's just…
Player
Just what?
Riko
The songs I write just can't seem to satisfy me.
Player
You're not satisfied?
Riko
It just…doesn't feel quite right.
Riko
It's hard to put it to words. It's like it's not meant for Aqours to sing.
Player
Not for Aqours?
