MarinaEquipment checks, done, audience's section, cleaned...! Alright, good job, as always!
MarinaOh, probably a good idea to restock the picks now... Really? You took care of it already? Thanks!
- Marina
It's been a while since you started working here, and I have to say, you've become quite dependable lately.
- Marina
The people who come here have been saying it's really nice and comfy.
- Marina
It's because of your hard work. Thanks so much.
- Marina
... So, uh, I have a bit of a favor to ask...
- Marina
We're short-staffed next week... and I was wondering... Do you think you could maybe squeeze in a few shifts...?
- Marina
You can?! You're such a lifesaver~!
- Marina
Here's the shift schedule! Could you write your name for the times you want to come in?
- Marina
Thanks! With you coming in this often, things will be so much more manageable!
- Marina
Oh, right. I'm planning to put this on display in the reception area, so I put it in a photo frame.
- Marina
Yeah! It's the photo from the CiRCLE THANKS PARTY! Fufu, it's one of the ones you took. Brings back memories, doesn't it~?
- Marina
With Kasumi-chan playing a major role, Poppin'Party was able to use their characteristic cheerfulness to lead everyone at events and such~.
- Marina
The Rocking Star Festival concert they streamed live was a huge success, and I bet they'll keep spreading their sparkling, heart-pounding feelings to even more people!
- Marina
With their bond that can only come from being childhood friends even stronger now, Afterglow has recently been going on band trips and taking part in bigger events!
- Marina
I can't wait to see how the "same as always" that's so dear to them will change and evolve going forward!
- Marina
Pastel＊Palettes's fame as a skilled idol band has been rising, and what makes each of the five girls unique has been blossoming even more~.
- Marina
Although their circumstances are gradually changing, I'm sure Aya-chan will lead the way for them as they continue to cheer on people chasing their dreams!
- Marina
Being that making the whole world smile is why Hello, Happy World! is active as a band, it's no surprise they performed overseas recently.
- Marina
Kokoro-chan and the girls also seem to have more things that are dear to them due to the encounters they've had. I'm really looking forward to how they'll amaze us!
- Marina
Having entered the professional scene, Roselia's already overwhelming skill and style have been polished even further.
- Marina
I wonder if they're any closer to the "summit" they seek now that they've made their nationwide tour a success. We definitely have to keep our eyes on them~!
- Marina
Morfonica may have originated at a prestigious all-girls school, but they haven't let that limit their band activities, and it's helped them change in countless ways.
- Marina
Mashiro-chan, in particular, seems to be a lot more confident on stage than she used to be, and I'm sure the girls will continue changing further.
- Marina
With their intense music as their weapon, RAISE A SUILEN has continued to deliver their music to the world!
- Marina
When it comes to creating music, speaking their mind has led to conflict at times, but... their bond seems to have grown and helped refine their sound further.
- Marina
... Oops! Got a bit too excited. Sorry for making you listen to all that
- Kasumi
Marina-san~, BanG Dreamer-san~! Hi~!
- Marina
Kasumi-chan! Girls! What brings the whole band here?
- Kasumi
We've become high school third-years~!
- Saaya
Kasumi said she wanted to say hi to the both of you. That's why we're here.
- Marina
Fufu, congratulations, girls! It's hard to believe you're all third-years now~. How are you adjusting to your new school life?
- Kasumi
Between the new classrooms and the new friends, every day is sparkling and heart-pounding! Right, Arisa?
- Arisa
Thanks to student council, my days have been crazy busy.
- Marina
I see! You'll all still be performing as Poppin'Party, though, right?
- Kasumi
You bet! We'll keep performing forever and ever~!
- Rimi
CiRCLE seems really crowded. Does this mean all the studios are already occupied?
- Marina
Uh, let me see... Oh, looks like we've got one vacancy. Since you're all here, wanna squeeze in some practice?
- Kasumi
Yeah, totally!
- Marina
Fufu. Knock yourselves out then~!
- Kasumi
Will do~! Thanks~, Marina-san!
- Kasumi
Marina-san, thanks so much for letting us use the studio~!
- Rimi
RiNG is nice and all, but CiRCLE still feels so comfortable too.
- Saaya
Yeah, like being at home.
- Marina
Oh yeah. Kasumi-chan, Saaya-chan, have you two already gotten used to working at RiNG?
- Kasumi
Yup! It's really fun getting to meet tons of people from different bands.
- Saaya
So many things are still new to me... It's been quite stimulating.
- Arisa
You know, I still can't believe CiRCLE's got itself a second branch~.
- Marina
Fufu, well, the age of girl bands picking up even more has meant an increase in new bands.
- Marina
And the owner really wanted to provide solid support for everyone who wants to devote themselves to band activities. That's why it was built.
- Arisa
Interesting~... Well, having more live houses and places to go and practice has been seriously helpful for us.
- Tae
The way sound echoes differently in each place makes it really fun too.
- Marina
Nice. Although, we do have every intention of making things at CiRCLE just as exciting as they are at RiNG, so don't stop coming by, either, okay?
- Kasumi
Of course! We'll do lots of shows! Oh yeah, guys, let's book a slot for our next one!
- Arisa
Wait, wait, slow down. Lemme check my schedule.
- Saaya
... Hm? Is that Mashiro and the rest of Morfonica out by the entrance?
- Rimi
Oh, you're right. They look somewhat troubled... I wonder what's going on.
- Tae
Let's go see!
- Saaya
BanG Dreamer-san, can we ask you to come with us?
- Kasumi
Hey~! Mashiro-chan~!
- Kasumi
Hey~, guys~!
- Nanami
Ah, Kasumi-senpai~.
- Rui
Greetings to all of you.
- Tae
What's wrong? Why aren't you coming inside?
- Mashiro
Oh, um...
- Tsukushi
Seriously~, Mashiro-chan! Don't be so timid!
- Touko
Yeah! It'll be totally fine!
- Saaya
...? Mashiro, is that a... notebook you've got in your hand?
- Mashiro
Um, the notebook at CiRCLE for people to leave messages was full, so we decided to bring a new one...
- Mashiro
But... it's not like we got permission, so I'm just not so sure it's okay to do this...
- Touko
Of course it's okay! Right, Kasumi-san?
- Kasumi
Yeah! It's fine, right, BanG Dreamer-san?
- Rimi
Fufu, Mashiro-chan, let's go hand over the notebook together then.
- Mashiro
O-okay...!
- Kasumi
Alright~, let's go!
- Marina
Fufu, so that's what that was all about. Thank you, girls. This'll come in really handy!
- Tsukushi
See, Mashiro-chan, I told you they would appreciate it,
- Mashiro
Y-yeah...!
- Kasumi
Alright, Morfonica should write something on the first page of the new notebook!
- Touko
Sweet~! Let's see~... "Morfonica was here!"
- Kasumi
I can so relate~! You just get the urge to write "was here," don't you~?
- Saaya
Fufu, well, that is what you wrote last year, Kasumi~.
- Touko
C'mon Rui, you write something too!
- Rui
... Very well.
- Touko
Let's see what you wrote~... "Thank you for always assisting us in our endeavors." What the heck is this? Sounds like something a mom or dad would write.
- Rui
I simply wrote down my honest thoughts.
- Nanami
Not bad. Alright, my turn now~.
- Tsukushi
"Please continue to watch over Morfonica..." There! You're the last one up, Mashiro-chan.
- Mashiro
Ngh... This is such a big responsibility because everyone will see the first page... I wonder what I should write.
- Rimi
I think it's okay to just write whatever comes to your mind.
- Tae
Yeah. Something like "I love red bean soup with mochi!"
- Arisa
That doesn't even have anything to do with bands...
- Mashiro
Um... then...
- Tsukushi
Oh, have you thought of what to write?
- Mashiro
C-could you turn the other way for a bit...?
- Mashiro
... Okay, done.
- Touko
Let's see~... "CiRCLE is a place where sparkling lights can be found by anyone."
- Tsukushi
"Following the sparkling light I saw here led me to Morfonica, and I've even come to like the person I am now a little bit more."
- Nanami
"This place... is very warm and gentle. I hope all of us get to see the sparkling world together."
- Mashiro
S-stop reading~! It's embarrassing~...
- Kasumi
Ohh~... This is really nice, Mashiro-chan! Don't you think so, too, BanG Dreamer-san?
- Marina
Yeah. Thanks for leaving such a lovely message.
- Mashiro
I-it is...? Ehehe...
- Touko
Hey, hey, since we're already here, why don't we practice a bit?
- Nanami
Nice~, let's do that~.
- Tsukushi
Wait, we haven't booked a studio though... I'm not sure one will be available when it's already this crowded...
- Kasumi
Oh! Have you guys been to RiNG yet?
- Mashiro
That's CiRCLE's second branch, isn't it...? Not yet.
- Kasumi
Alright~, leave it to me! Marina-san, is it okay if I check from here to see if any studios are available at RiNG?
- Marina
Sure. Here's a PC. You know the password, right?
- Kasumi
Of course! Hold on, guys.
- Kasumi
Uh~, enter password... check studio status...
- Arisa
Whoa~, you actually know your way around pretty well. I guess you haven't been working part-time for nothing.
- Kasumi
Ah, there are vacancies! Alright, let's all go to RiNG then!
- Tae
We'll show you the way!
- Mashiro
Okay...! Thank you very much.
- Saaya
Marina-san, we'll be going now then.
- Marina
Alright, take care, girls.
- Kasumi
Bye~!
- Marina
Fufu, Poppin'Party is as lively as ever, and Morfonica seems to have become so much more capable.
- Marina
Through bands, everyone's gradually changing... It really is nice to be able to witness that up close.
- Marina
You know, I wonder how Ran-chan and everyone else is doing. I kind of wish I could see them all~.
