I'm going to work hard on our songs again!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you write.

When you finish writing come have lunch with me and take a nap!

Oh. So this means we won't be eating lunch together for a while.

Guys, you just have to deal with it for a while. We have to provide an environment of focus for our song writer.

We'll miss you while you're not around, but do your best!

Oh, about that. What do you all think about eating here from now on?

But won't we be interrupting?

Yeah, that's right. It's probably better for your focus to work alone.

Well, I did that before and it wasn't the best. After hearing what μ's and Aqours said, I think it's better to write with everyone around.

If I'm writing a song for all of you, I want to write it while we talk and share smiles.

So we wouldn't be getting in the way?

Not at all! I would actually prefer you guys to be around to give me more ideas.

I guess that decides it!

I thought this might happen, so I actually brought my lunch with me.

I love how prepared you are, Kasumi.

*Chuckle*

Nice one, Kasukasu!

Don't call me that!

If that's the case, let's all get lunch and meet back here!

[Fade in/out.]

What's your happiest memory?

Where is that question coming from?

You sound like you're interviewing us.

Hahaha, it does, doesn't it? I want to get to know everyone better. Like what makes you happy and all that.

My favorite food is my grandma's miso-pickled vegetables! Is that the kind of stuff you want to know?

Of course! What you're interested in, memories from your childhood, or times you were embarrassed or failed at something!

Oh, failures sound interesting.

One time I thought I saw my friend and put my hands over her eyes and said guess who, but it was totally someone I didn't know at all.

Hahaha! That's so embarrassing!

But because of that, we became friends!

That doesn't sound like a failure to me.

If you want to talk about failures…

I just can't stop talking once I start about my favorite stuff. Just the other day I kept Karin on the phone for three hours.

Oh yeah, you did.

I thought I'd just let you talk while I did my nails, but I found myself listening and then promised to borrow that book from you.

That's not a failure either. Well, I don't have any failures I guess.

I know one of your failures, Kasumi! Rina-chan Board says, “Stares.”

What? When was that? I don't fail at anything.

I saw you practice doing your makeup.

Oh, I saw that too! I was surprised that Kasumi is interested in makeup.

R-Rinako! Emma! What exactly did you see?!

It made me think about how hard it is to put on fake eyelashes.

Wait. You saw me too, Ayumu?

That bright red lipstick was very provocative.

Such dark eye shadow is good for on stage, but not anywhere else.

I felt like I saw something I wasn't supposed to.

Aggghhh! I can't believe all you guys saw me! That's so embarrassing!

Kasumi, I'll give you a makeup lesson sometime soon.

Ugh… *Sniff* Karin!

Kasumi, you don't need to wear makeup. You're plenty cute the way you are.

I'll do my best on this makeup lesson, but do you hear that? I'm perfectly cute without makeup!

So Kasumi seems to be putting a lot of effort into makeup. How about the rest of you? What are you putting effort into?

Everyone's putting a lot of effort into our school idol practice! Other than that, I'm working on my cooking.

I can show you a thing or two about cooking.

I'm working hard on organizing my photos of Haruka. They've built up recently, so I'm working on making an album.

Do you take photos on your phone? There's an app that will make albums from the data for you.

Wait, something like that exists?! That will make making albums so easy!

I want to know about that app, too. I'd like to make an album of everyone.

A picture album of all of us? That sounds great.

This has turned into a normal conversation. Are you sure we're not keeping you from getting work done?

Not at all! I'm getting lots of ideas for my songs. I think I can write a terrific one.

Really? That's great!

I'm glad I could help. Rina-chan Board says, “Woo!”

(There are sounds that come to mind as I look at everyone's smiling faces. I can even see all of them singing.)

(I've been thinking about everyone in Nijigasaki while writing this song. I've been thinking about school idols, too.)

(I've always thought school idols were something special to me.)

(The impression I got from Aqours and μ's live show was so great. It makes it even more special because it's a dream of mine.)

(But this time, I think I realize something. School idols are special, but at the same time, they're not.)

(I think what's actually important is our true thoughts, feelings, and troubles.)

(That's why I'm putting all the smiles, love, and hardships we've experienced into this song!)
