Graduation (Yamato Maya) |  |
Kasumi
Maya-san! Congrats on your graduation!
Kasumi
Whenever I do sessions with you, I feel so at ease 'cause it feels like you're telling me I can do anything I want!
Kasumi
Let's get together at the studio for sessions with everyone, even once you're a college student~!
Arisa
Maya-san, congratulations on your graduation.
Arisa
Thank you for always listening when I have something on my mind... That projector you lent back then was a huge help too.
Arisa
I hope you don't mind too much if I keep coming to you for help because I probably will...!
Rimi
Maya-san, congratulations on your graduation.
Rimi
I always learn so much from our sessions together. Please keep teaching me more things, such as keeping time and doing fills!
Tae
Maya-san, congratulations.
Tae
I love chatting about instruments with you. I still clearly remember that time we nerded out at Hazawa Coffee about manipulating guitar sounds.
Tae
I'm going to a music store this week, so could you come with me to help me pick an effects pedal?
Saaya
Maya-san, congratulations on graduating.
Saaya
Whenever I'd be doing something like tuning my snare drum, I really appreciated your advice on how to tune it to make it sound best for me.
Saaya
Talking with you makes me fall in love with the drums even more. Let's keep doing more talking!
Ran
Maya-san, congratulations on graduating.

When you showed up by the well all wet and stuff during School Cleaning Day... I seriously freaked out.
Ran
Well, it's all a fond memory now though...
Moca
Maya-senpai~, congrats on graduating~.

Thanks so much for teaching us about building electronics when I was helping Saaya look for a new hobby~.

That radio from back then is still alive and well~. You should come for a listen sometime~.
Himari
Maya-senpai! Congratulations on your graduation!
Himari
Thanks for the mention in that magazine about how we did at Girl Jam!

That helped bring our band together with so many other things. We plan to grow even more than you said, though, so please continue to keep your eye on us!
Tsugumi
Maya-senpai, congratulations on your graduation!
Tsugumi
The sessions we've done that started back with "HOPE" continue to be so stimulating even now!
Tsugumi
I want to try out a new timbre, so do you think you could give it a listen when we're in the studio next time?
Tomoe
Maya-senpai, congratulations on graduating!
Tomoe
I really dig the way you play the drums! The beat is measured, but it's also got plenty of heart...!
Tomoe
If it's alright with you, could you give me some pointers on rim shots one of these days?
Kokoro
Maya! Congrats on graduating!
Kokoro
Visiting the shrine during New Year's with you and everyone was so exciting! Let's look for treasure again!

I still remember that time we went skiing so clearly! We all rode the lift and even had that snowball fight!
Hagumi
Let's go again and make a giant snowman!
Misaki
Yamato-san, congratulations on your graduation.
Misaki
The way you try to overcome the things you're uncomfortable with instead of running is, well, umm... honestly, kinda cool.
Misaki
I'd like to keep coming to you for equipment advice. I hope that's okay with you.
Ako
Maya-san~! Congrats on graduating~!
Ako
I really love getting together with you and everyone at the restaurant and talking about drums~!

You're really cool during Pastel✽Palettes concerts! It's like you become the band's backbone. I always end up so mesmerized!

I'd like to be able to help my band out more as the drummer, so please keep teaching me things!
Nanami
Maya-senpai, congratulations on your graduation~.
Nanami
I actually really like your "Read it forwards or backwards, it's the same in Japanese! Ya-ma-to Ma-ya!" line~.
Nanami
Do you think you could give me some tips for coming up with catchy lines we can use at our shows~?
Mashiro
Maya-san. Congratulations on your graduation.
Mashiro
When I was having trouble during the CiRCLE THANKS PARTY! because I didn't know how to use the equipment, you gently told me how... That was so helpful of you.
Mashiro
If I ever have trouble with something again... I hope you can maybe help me once more...
Rui
Yamato-san. Congratulations on your graduation.

It must have taken considerable hard work to achieve such measured and accurate drumming.

I imagine we will end up performing together st more concerts. I hope I may count on your drumming.

Hi, Maya. Congratulations!

I've been making sure to check Pastel✽Palettes' shows, and I have to say your drumming has become even more cool and exciting than before.

By the way, the next time we're on the same stage, both you and your band can enjoy being crushed by us.
LAYER
Yamato-san, congratulations on your graduation.
LAYER
I really love your sound because every note conveys your pride as a drummer and shows you care about your bandmates.

I'd like to improve as a bassist, so if you don't mind, maybe we can do a session together sometime.

Ever since I first heard your sound, I've respected both your stance toward drummin' and your passion for music.

PAREO
The opportunity I have been given has left me feeling somewhat nervous, but I don't want it to go to waste, so please allow me to say a few words...!
PAREO
Whether it's your serious expression when you're playing the drums, your shy smile, or the childlike gleam in your eye when you talk about equipment... I love them all~!

Transcript
Maya
Oh, BanG Dreamer-san, hello! Are you on your way home from work? Enjoy your rest.
Maya
Yes, I just finished a magazine shoot, and I'm on my way home too.
Maya
It ended earlier than I expected, so I decided to take a bit of a detour first. That's why I'm taking a stroll along the path leading to Haneoka.
Maya
By the way, I found the message you left on the board with messages at Haneoka! Thank you for the really wonderful words.
Maya
... You know, walking down this path to school brings back memories of the last three years so gradually and vividly.
Maya
It feels really funny.
Maya
... Back when I first started high school, I enjoyed supporting people, whether it involved being a backup drummer or a theater stagehand.
Maya
Of course, I still like working behind the scenes... but I never imagined I would end up taking center stage as an idol.
Maya
Looking back, though... I'm genuinely glad this is the path I've walked.
Maya
You see, after the graduation ceremony, the members of the theater club also congratulated me.
Maya
They said things like "Thank you for everything" and "Please don't graduate" while crying and giving me a bouquet...
Maya
It wasn't my first time receiving a bouquet... but feelings I'd never felt before came welling up... and I ended up crying too.
Maya
Yes, I also offered them some words.
Maya
It's not exactly my forte... but I did so using my own words and in my own way.
Maya
How grateful I was that I got to know them... The incredible works of theater we had brought into the world...
Maya
So many memories came back one after the other, and I ended up talking for a while...
Maya
It was nowhere near Hina-san's valedictory speech, but I think I did a reasonable job getting my message across.
Maya
... I see... Well, thank you very much.
Maya
... Those were some great years, alright.
Maya
Oh, I'm sorry. I became a bit sentimental... Anyway, I have to go this way, so...
Maya
There'll likely still be times when I'll need to be in your care. I hope you don't mind too much!
