Kasumi
Sayo-senpai, congratulations on graduating!
Kasumi
You always listen to me seriously when I talk about stuff, so I end up depending on you a lot. Ehehe.
Kasumi
So, from now on, I'll treat my underclassmen the same way you treated me!
Arisa
Sayo-senpai, congratulations on graduating.
Arisa
I've gotten used to seeing you in the student council room, so knowing that you won't be there anymore makes me a little sad... No, more like really sad...
Arisa
From now, we'll make sure to take care of the Hanasakigawa that you treasured so much. Please watch over us.
Rimi
Hikawa-senpai, congratulations on your graduation.
Rimi
Ehen we went to see the fall leaves, you helped me take videos to send to Sis... It made me really happy.
Rimi
You are stern, but more than that, you're so kind... I love that about you. Even after you become a college student, please hang out with us again.
Tae
Hikawa-senpai, congratulations on graduating.
Tae
The sound of your guitar playing is cool. It's as sharp as a sword. Lately, it feels like there's more clolor to it. A light, gentle color.
Tae
Next time, please tell me what you think my guitar sounds like!
Saaya
Sayo-senpai, congratulations on your graduation.
Saaya
When we went looking for the sunflower field, you helped us even though you were busy... Thank you very much.
Saaya
Just like you, I'll do my best to be someone who my underclassmen can rely on!
Ako
Sayo-san! Congrats on graduating!
Ako
I'm sad that you'll become a college student, but as the high school representative of Roselia from now on, I'll become cooler than before!
Ako
So don't worry and enjoy being in college! I'll catch up to you before you know it!
Eve
Sayo-san, congratulations on your graduation!
Eve
You are always strict with yourself, kind toward others, and you stick to your beliefs... You represent what bushido is!
Eve
I hope you will continue to let me learn from your bushido at your side!
Misaki
Sayo-senpai, congratulations on graduating.
Misaki
I can't thank you enough for dealing with Kokoro and Hagumi at school. I really don't know how to thank you...
Misaki
From now on, Ichigaya-san and I will do our best to carry on the things you held dear.
Kokoro
Sayo! Congrats on graduating!
Kokoro
You'd always scold me whenever I ran in the hallway!
Kokoro
I recently found out it was so that I wouldn't hurt myself or the people around me. You really are so kind! Thanks!
Hagumi
Sayo-senpai! Congrats on your graduation!
Hagumi
I finally get why I can't bring an egg to school!
Hagumi
It's 'cause it has to go in a case so it doesn't break, just like how a guitar has to go in its case, too, right? So next time I bring one, I'll be sure it's in an egg case!
CHUCHU
... Do I still have to do this? ... Ugh, fine...
CHUCHU
Sayo, congrats on graduating.
CHUCHU
Your guitar playing will continue to evolve, probably more than you can ever imagine. Never lose sight of that desire to improve yourself that's always within you.
LAYER
Hikawa-san, congratulations on graduating.
LAYER
The way you always keep practicing your guitar inspires me a lot.
LAYER
But please don't push yourself too hard. Taking breaks is important too.
LOCK
Sayo-senpai, congratulations on graduating!
LOCK
Your string muting is so freaking cool! Please teach me next time!
PAREO
Sayo-san, congratulations on your graduation!
PAREO
I have had the pleasure of attending Roselia's concerts, and I have observed that your playing style has grown increasingly more carefree.
PAREO
Entering the professional music scene must be serving as a good influence... RAS may be on a different path, but I shall continue to support Roselia's further endeavors!
MASKING
Sayo-san, congrats on graduatin'.
MASKING
When I'm at CiRCLE, whenever I hear guitar sounds from the booth... Thinkin' about how you're also there motives me to practice harder when I'm goin' solo.
MASKING
I'm sure the professional scene ain't gonna be easy... but I know that you and the rest of Roselia can pave the way to a bright future, so keep doin' your best!

Transcript
Sayo
... When I was here that time, I...
Sayo
Oh... BanG Dreamer-san, hello. I'm on my way home from buying a vase. I wanted to display the flowers I received during the graduation ceremony.
Sayo
... Hmm? What was I looking at, you say? Actually, a while back in this very place, I wrote a tanzaku during the Star Festival.
Sayo
It's strange how differently I feel now about that moment compared to back then...
Sayo
At the time, Hina and I weren't very close...
Sayo
However, all those days I've spent with her have added up, and now... I even feel fondness for the slight pain that remains from my scars...
Sayo
... The passage of time is a strange thing. I feel like it changes you slowly.
Sayo
No... Time is not the only reason. Band activities and my three years at Hansakigawa are what changed me. At least, that's how I feel.
Sayo
The fact that I changed over the course of my three years of high school must mean the many people I met allowed my days to be fulfilling.
Sayo
I cannot thank Hanasakigawa enough... for giving me the place and opportunity to grow and mature.
Sayo
The school felt like it highly promoted freedom and prioritized the independence of its students.
Sayo
In other words, it can be said to have faith in its students...
Sayo
I am proud to have been a student there for three years.
Sayo
Of course, graduating is not only a goal but also a checkpoint...
Sayo
From now on, I will enter college, and I will have to think even more seriously about my future self.
Sayo
Now that I have begun to accept my sound... I wonder what my reason for making it will be and what my sound will be like when it resonates in the future.
Sayo
But there is one thing that's certain. I will devote myself even further as Roselia's guitarist.
Sayo
There is no doubt about that.
Sayo
I talked a little too much... Well then, I should head out.
Sayo
BanG Dreamer-san, I hope I may rely on your continued support.
Sayo
Alright, see you at CiRCLE.
