Coolness Discovered |  |
Ako
Mmm~! It's finally lunch~!
Asuka
Ako, could you push that desk over here? Rokka, could you get that one?
LOCK
O-okay.
Ako
Fufufu... Let the elegant, uhh... lunchtime... of the fallen angels begin!
Asuka
Don't turn us into fallen angels.
Ako
Aww~, but they're so cool.
LOCK
Fallen angels...? Is that a visual kei thing...?
Asuka
-I don't think that's it either. Come on, let's hurry up and eat.
Ako
Okay! I wonder what's for lunch today~. Hm-hm-hmhm-hm~♪
Asuka
Hm...? That melody sounds familiar...
LOCK
Th-that's Mira-san's song, isn't it?
Ako
Yeah! You know it too, Rokka?
LOCK
Mmhmm. LAYER-san was talking about the joint concert with Roselia...
LOCK
So I got curious and looked her up. Now I'm a fan too.
Asuka
Huh...? Wait, wait. Do you mean that Mira? The Mira that's on TV sometimes?
Ako
Yeah! The professional musician! We're gonna be doing a joint concert with her~!
Asuka
Wow... That's pretty amazing. Does that mean Roselia's heading in that direction?
Ako
...? What direction?
Asuka
As in, are you guys going to become professionals too?
Ako
Going pro... Hmm, I don't really know yet...
Asuka
Oh. I thought you planned on becoming professionals since you'll be performing with one.
LOCK
Yes, joint concerts between amateurs and professionals don't happen that often.
LOCK
But the decision to become a professional is a hard one for musicians...
Asuka
It is? I thought everyone who becomes popular goes that route...
LOCK
Well, it's something to consider when you start becoming popular... But it's not a simple decision.
Ako
Exactly~. That's why we have to carefully consider if that's really the best for us...
Asuka
Huh... I didn't know it was that complicated.
Ako
It is. There's no telling how Roselia will change if we decide to become a professional band either...
LOCK
Going professional... It's a hard decision to make...
Ako
Oh, but we're also similar in a lot of ways!
Asuka
Similar? Are you talking about Roselia and professionals?
Ako
Mmhmm! Uhh, actually, it's more like we're similar to Mira-san.
Ako
You see, we got to see Mira-san practice. I was really surprised to see she did things so differently from us.
Ako
But her music was still cool. We all wondered why and talked about it~.
Ako
And then we figured out that it's because we have the same feelings as her!
LOCK
Do you really...?
Ako
Yeah, we both love music! And Mira-san's performance is so cool because that feeling is important to her~!
LOCK
I see... I think I understand what you're getting at.
LOCK
All kinds of professionals perform at Galaxy.
LOCK
But they all look like they're having fun when they're singing or playing instruments...
Asuka
Oh yeah... That sounds like Si- I mean Poppin'Party, so I've never thought of something like that...
Asuka
Well, if music is how you're making a living, I don't see how you can keep doing it unless you like it.
LOCK
Mmhmm! Listening to a performance by someone who's doing what they enjoy is so much fun!
Ako
...! Ohh, I think I get it now! It's just like my version of cool...!
Ako
I see, that's gotta be it! That's why pros are so cool~!
Asuka
Wh-what's gotten into you?
Ako
Ehehe. I think I figured out one more thing about pros!
Ako
Ooo~! I can't wait to do the joint concert~!

Ako
Marina-san~! BanG Dreamer-san~! Hi!
Marina
Ako-chan! Hi. Heading home from school?
Ako
Mmhmm! There's no practice today, so I'm heading straight home~.
Ako
Oh yeah! There's something I wanna tell you guys! We got to do a joint concert with a professional musician called Mira-san!
Ako
And you know what? It was so fun~!
Marina
Ah, I know about the concert. I'm glad you had fun!
Ako
Mmhmm! I became friends with Mira-san too! We talked about Snappy-chan and other stuff!
Ako
Mira-san was so easy to talk to and super nice to all of us~!
Marina
Fufu, it sounds like you're good friends now.
Ako
Ehehe, I think we are! I watched Mira-san's videos before this whole concert thing came up...
Ako
So it made me really happy to be able to see her cool performance live~!
Marina
I'd imagine! Performances by professionals are incredible, after all.
Marina
But that also makes Roselia incredible. You guys did a joint concert with one!
Ako
Yay~! Thanks, Marina-san! I really think so too!
Ako
Mira-san was super cool, but so were we!
Ako
So we're keeping up with her just fine~!
Marina
Fufu, it sounds like doing a show with her only fired you up even more!
Ako
Yeah! The audience might've been there to see Mira-san...
Ako
But I thought it was a chance to show everyone there how cool Roselia is!
Marina
I see. You're becoming more and more dependable, Ako-chan.
Ako
Wow, I am?! Yay~!
Ako
Yukina-san said she wants me to put Roselia back on track if we ever lose our way!
Ako
So, whenever Roselia's going to do something new, it'll be up to me... Oh, and Rin-rin too!
Ako
We're gonna support Roselia and make sure we never go off course.
Marina
Ah, I'm sure the others in Roselia can rest easy knowing that you and Rinko-chan have their backs.
Ako
Leave it to us! No matter what happens, we'll make sure Rooselia stays ultra super cool!
Ako
I, Demon Princess Ako, shall use my Dark Walker to... umm... light the futures... of the ones with the Pride of the Blue Rose... uhh...
Ako
With a flash and a bang!
