Saaya
Okay, so I've got the flour. Is this everything?
Saaya
Ah...
Saaya
I'm getting kinda hungry. Maybe I can make a quick stop.
Saaya
I'm sure Mom will understand.
Saaya
... Huh? Those two sitting there. Is that...
Arisa
And that's when Kasumi...
Rimi
Ahaha...That must have been hard on you.
Saaya
Hey guys, how's it going?
Arisa
Oh, Saaya. Hey.
Rimi
Good afternoon, Saaya-chan.
Saaya
It's kinda rare to see just you guys hanging out, isn't it?
Arisa
We just happened to run into each other a little earlier.
Rimi
And we've just been sitting here talking.
Saaya
I see. Mind if I join you?
Rimi
Of course not. You can sit here.
Saaya
Okay, thanks.
Rimi
Oh, that reminds me. Saaya-chan.
Saaya
Hm? What's up?
Rimi
Thanks again for all of your help with the birthday concert. I couldn't have done it without you!
Rimi
You too, Arisa-chan.
Arisa
I mean, you were working so hard, so... yeah.
Rimi
It was thanks to you all that I could make a decent song! And the pastries were tasty, too ♪
Saaya
The Go-Go Bread. Pretty good, wasn't it?
Rimi
Yeah, it was delicious! Oh, so it was called "Go-Go Bread. "
Arisa
Not sure it really needed a name, though...
Saaya
Hehe. But hey, we definitely made the right choice, seeing how it made you so happy.
Rimi
Also... Well...
Saaya
Hm? Was something wrong with the bread?
Rimi
Actually, the chocolate cornet was so fresh... it filled my heart with so much joy.
Arisa
I think you're just too obsessed with them.
Saaya
Ahaha, probably.
Rimi
When I think about it now... That might have been the best chocolate cornet I've ever had.
Arisa
It was that good?!
Rimi
Maybe because it was made with love from the four of you.
Saaya
Ahaha, I'm happy to hear that.
Saaya
I hope next time we can make pastries with the five of us.
Arisa
The five of us making pastries... That doesn't seem like it has anything to do with a band.
Saaya
... How about we have a baking club?
Arisa
A band will be fine...
Rimi
Haha, I feel like I've heard this conversation before.
Saaya
But you know, I think it's fun to do things unrelated to music as a group, too.
Rimi
Mhm. Yeah. More than just baking, I think I'd like it if we could all do things together.
Rimi
I know I decided to make the song for my sister all on my own, but being by myself... for all that time...
Saaya
Rimi-rin, did you miss us?
Rimi
Ehehe. Yeah, I think so.
Saaya
That's because it can't be Poppin'Party without the five of us. It's nice to hear you felt that way. Right, Arisa?
Arisa
Why are you asking me?! I guess... I would agree with Saaya...
Rimi
It was because you all were there for me that I could write that song. I don't think of it as something I created by myself.
Saaya
Rimi-rin...
Rimi
So thank you!
Saaya
Hehe. Let's keep helping each other out, okay? ... Whether it's band related or not.
Rimi
Hehe. Yeah! I'll do what I can, Saaya-chan! Arisa-chan!

Saaya
Oh, BanG Dreamer-san!
Saaya
Hey, how's it going? Are you planning on shopping?
Saaya
Me? I don't have any rehearsal or work today, so I'm just out for a stroll.
Saaya
Ahaha, I guess you could say I have nothing to do.
Saaya
I could take this time to tell you about something that happened recently. Do you have a minute?
Saaya
Haha, thanks.
Saaya
So the other day, we played together with Glitter*Green at their birthday concert.
Saaya
Yep. Glitter*Green's Yuri-senpai is also Rimi-rin's older sister! Of course, you would know.
Saaya
So, the birthday concert was for Yuri-senpai.
Saaya
Out of nowhere, Rimi-rin got a call asking if Poppin'Party wanted to join the performance. We thought about it pretty hard...
Saaya
We were determined and gave it our all. I think we decided we would do it because of how passionate Rimi-rin was.
Saaya
She said she wanted to write a new song for her sister's birthday. And with only a week she created the entire thing...
Saaya
She's amazing, isn't she? She holed herself up in the studio every day and worked as hard as she could.
Saaya
No, no. The only one who put in any real work was Rimi-rin! All we did was give her a little bit of support...
Saaya
Ahaha, you're exaggerating.
Saaya
... I mean, I'm happy to hear the compliment, but I guess you could say I'm not really convinced...
Saaya
It might just be that the time went by so fast, I can't even be sure what we did.
Saaya
So maybe, just maybe, bit by bit I'll start to think, "Oh, we really did a good job!" Ahaha.
Saaya
You think it was a valuable experience even if we are unsure about what we did?
Saaya
Yeah, you're right. It definitely was. Completing a song within a week and being able to perform with Glitter*Green...
Saaya
It was not only worthwhile for Rimi-rin. We should all be able to get something out of that.
Saaya
I think we probably did some during that short period of time... And we might actually realize it when the time comes...
Saaya
Hm? Oh, what song did we play?
Saaya
You want to hear it, too? Hehe, it's a really good song~.
Saaya
Yeah~... There might be a day when we play it again.
Saaya
You know, Kasumi didn’t write the lyrics this time.
Saaya
Rimi-rin did that part too!
Saaya
She felt like she just had to write the lyrics for this song. It's easy to understand why. The song was for her sister after all.
Saaya
She had a pretty hard time... She was so worried about picking the right words...
Saaya
Not to mention, there wasn't much time, you know? So, there was also a lot of pressure.
Saaya
When we saw she was struggling, Arisa, Kasumi, and I started talking about what we might be able to do...
Saaya
We ended up delivering some pastries to her: her beloved chocolate cornets and Go-Go Bread. Homemade by us!
Saaya
Go-Go Bread is a bunch of pastries we made to spell out "Go Rimi."
Saaya
She was all by herself, so... While all we could do was watch over her, even if we could give a little bit of a push, we were happy.
Saaya
Don't you just want to support people when they're doing their best?
Saaya
Ahaha, I've been told so many that a supportive person is a good fit for the drums.
Saaya
Hearing you say it too makes me feel like I have no choice but to keep working hard.
Saaya
I hope you'll keep cheering me on! I can't do it without you!
Saaya
... Just kidding~♪ Ahaha.
