Whoa! It's so crowded.

Yep! This rock band is pretty famous, after all!

Is this your first time hearing one of their songs, Riko?

Yeah. I've never heard any of their music before.

Is that right? This should be an inspirational experience then.

Inspirational, huh? Well, I sure hope so!

Oh, it looks like they're about to start!

Gosh, I've heard this melody before! But the song keeps changing…

This is a mix of melodies from different classical pieces all weaved together to make one song… Yet it sounds like a real rock song! Nice!

Wow! This song! It's my first time hearing it as well, so they must've made it just for this festival!

Really? That's wonderful! I think this might have given me the inspiration I need to write my next song!

*Giggle* Discovering new music is one of the best things about these festivals, don't you think?

Yes! I need to write down my ideas before I forget them.

Ooh! They're asking everyone to hold hands!

The audience members around us are starting to hold each other's hands.

Having everyone hold hands to get them into the show is this band's trademark! Let's join in on the fun!

Okay!

Wow! Getting into the song like this is so fun!

I know! It almost feels like we're all united. I can feel everyone's excitement.

Are you two ready? We're about to hit the last jump. One, two…

Jump!!!

[Fade in/out.]

That was sooo fun!

I'm so glad you had fun, Riko! You were super into it the whole time.

I mean, it really was awesome! Festivals sure are great. I'm having a blast!

I'm right there with you. Now I want this band's CD.

Well, the show's over, so how about we head back to the designated meeting area?

I'll send everyone else a text.

Thanks, Nozomi.

It's nothing. Okay, it's sent. Let's get going.

Yeah!
