Phew, I worked up a really good sweat. Thanks for inviting me today, Karin.

I should be the one thanking you. Being able to train with you was good for me too.

Training with someone else is always more exciting and makes you feel more motivated than doing it by yourself.

Honestly, my heart flutters with excitement being able to see your dance training up close!

I could say the same about your vocal training. I'm glad I get to experience it up close.

*Giggle* It's like we're one-upping each other with compliments. But really, you always sound so amazing when you sing. It puts me in a great mood and the lesson flies by.

I often listen to Aqours songs when I train on my own to get me in the mood.

Wow, really? That's so nice of you.

Hey, you listen to songs that aren't from Aqours, don't you? I listen to music a lot when I train alone too, so I'm curious.

Let's see… I listen to a lot of EDM, Nijigasaki, and μ's songs. How about you, Mari?

Me too! I love listening to Nijigasaki's, μ's', and our own songs. I also often listen to the metal and rock music I like.

Whoa, metal and rock? I don't really know much about those genres, but I'm interested.

Really?! Well, I'd be more than happy to get you up to speed!

Metal and rock are great. They're so passionate and intense. Listening to them just makes your heart burst into flame!

The heavy rhythm and intense vocals get you head-banging and mosh-pitting even when you're in a crummy mood!

Agh, I really love them both so much! I'd love it if you'd listen to some of my recommendations!

You know, maybe I could listen to some of those right now, if you don't mind?

Of course I don't mind! Just hold on a sec. I'll get my music ready!

Thanks. I can't wait!

Ready to rock and roll! Here's an earbud for you. We'll share one each so we can listen together!
