Diligent Songwriting! |  |
Kokoro
Mmm, the weather is so nice! I wonder what exciting things are out there today.
Kokoro
Let's go out and look for them, Misaki!
Misaki
...
Kokoro
Misaki? Why do you look so down?
Kokoro
Oh, I know! You must be thinking about something, right?!
Misaki
Ah, yeah. About Kanon-san's street performance.
Misaki
She said that she wanted to do it herself, but I'm still wondering if there's anything I can do to help.
Kokoro
There's no reason to concern yourself. Kanon wishes to put on the show herself, correct?
Misaki
Yeah, I get that, but...
Misaki
Kokoro, you're one to talk. You were the first person offering to help her out before.
Kokoro
Oh, was I? I don't really remember.
Misaki
Sigh, you really are something...
Misaki
I mean, aren't you the least bit worried about her? Even a little?
Kokoro
Not at all. It is Kanon, after all.
Kokoro
If anyone can make other people smile, it's her, yes?
Misaki
Okay, I agree with you there, but...
Kokoro
Then there's no need to worry! I can't wait to see what she plays!
Misaki
... Pfft. I can't believe you, hahaha...
Misaki
I swear, you are one of a kind.
Kokoro
One of a kind? What do you mean?
Misaki
Never mind. But yeah. Maybe I was overthinking things.
Kokoro
...? I don't really follow, but I'm glad that I could help in some way!
Kokoro
Now, let's get out there and see what fun is waiting for us!
Misaki
Fun stuff, huh? I wouldn't mind finding inspiration for our new song~.
Misaki
We've got that preschool concert coming up soon, you know? And we haven't even decided on what direction to take it in...
Misaki
Ah... That's it...
Kokoro
What is it now, Misaki?
Misaki
Say... why don't I make a song for Kanon-san to play?
Misaki
She said she'll be using one of our tracks for her show, but since it's such a special event for her, I think a similarly special arrangement is in order.
Misaki
I think she'd be happy having a song that's fitting for a street performance.
Kokoro
Ohhh, what a wonderful idea~! I had just thought of the same thing!
Kokoro
Amazing, Misaki! Let's make this new song right away!
Misaki
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for that. Let's find a cafƩ to sit down and plan it out...
Kokoro
...! I have an idea! Misaki, I need a notebook!
Misaki
Huh? Right now? H-hold on. I think there's one in my bag...
Misaki
Found it! Here, is this one okay? You can use this pen too.
Kokoro
Let's see... Hm, hm, hmmm~āŖ Tra-la-la-la~āŖ
Misaki
Look, move over to the side if you're going to write something. You're in the way of other people.
Kokoro
There, finished! This will be the song for Kanon's performance!
Misaki
Oh? Hmmm~... Is that a mountain? And this is a... tanuki?
Misaki
Sorry. I don't think I can focus out here... Let's find a cafƩ to sit down and discuss things in detail.
Kokoro
It starts with the sun shining brightly in the sky, and then...
Misaki
Whoa~, stop right there! The cafƩ comes first!
Kokoro
Mmm, the ideas just keep pouring in~!
Misaki
Then plug it up for now! Come on! We'd better hurry!
Transcript
Misaki
Excuse me~. I'd like to make a studio reservation.
Marina
Coming~! Welcome, Misaki-chan. Ah, I heard the news~.
Marina
Kanon-chan and Arisa-chan put on a street performance, right? I heard it was a big hit!
Misaki
Oh man, you had to be there. It went pretty well.
Marina
Sigh, I knew it~. I wouldn't have missed it for anything had I known beforehand.
Misaki
Oh well, there's always next time.
Marina
You're right. And I'll be looking forward to it.
Marina
Ah, by the way, wasn't the song they played for the show one that you wrote?
Misaki
Ah, that was, um...
Misaki
Kokoro wanted to do something for Kanon-san, so I just kinda threw it together. That's all...
Marina
Fufu, you're so kind, Misaki-chan~.
Misaki
I-I mean, it was all because of Kokoro, if you think about it.
Marina
Fufu, I know, I know.
Misaki
Are you sure...? Okay, if you say so.
Misaki
But still, I was pretty surprised when Kanon-san said she was putting on a street performance. It was like: "Huh? Wait, are you for real?"
Marina
True, it does take a lot of determination to put on a show like that.
Misaki
Absolutely. That's why I figured she must have been serious when she said she wanted to go through with it.
Marina
Oh, I see. In that case, you must have been thrilled when her show went well, then?
Misaki
W-well, it's more like...
Misaki
Maybe "relieved" is a better word...? Seeing her have such a good time performing made me realize that she's the perfect drummer for the band.
Marina
Fufufu. I bet she'd be over the moon if she heard you say that.
Misaki
Th-that's, um, not so easy to tell someone directly...
Marina
Fufu. I suppose not.
Marina
... Ah. Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble on. You wanted to make a reservation, right?
Misaki
Yes. For sometime next week, please.
Marina
Okay! Hang on, let me see what we've got.
