Now I'm Nervous |  |
Rimi
E-excuse me... You can have this flyer... if you'd like...!
Rimi
(Ah... Ignored again...)
Rimi
... Sigh. This isn't going so well...
Saaya
What's wrong Rimi-rin? That was quite the sigh.
Rimi
Ah, Saya-chan... I thought I would try talking to people at other booths, kind of like Kasumi-chan, but...
Saaya
Not really working out?
Rimi
N-no...
Saaya
Yeah, that is one of Kasumi's strong points. Apparently, she even got along with someone from overseas. You could feel the excitement just by looking at their gestures and body language...
Rimi
And she's always taking review sessions... For foreign language classes too. Isn't that right...?
Kasumi
Ah~! Rimi-rin! Saya~! What are you guys doing just standing there?! You'd be better off stopping by more booths!
Rimi
... Uhm, K-Kasumi-chan! Can I ask you a question?
Kasumi
Mhm! Yep! What is it? Ask me anything!
Rimi
H-how exactly... do you get along so well with people you're meeting for the first time? Is there... a trick to it or something?
Kasumi
Trick? A trick, huh...? A trick, a trick, a trick...
Saaya
I'm not sure if I'd call it a trick, but just by looking at you, I'd say you try to ask a lot of questions, correct?
Kasumi
Ah! You might be right!
Kasumi
Or rather, I have a lot of things I wanna ask, so it might be that I'm just asking all of those things!
Saaya
I guess you could say that Kasumi is like a ball of curiosity sometimes, huh?
Saaya
It might be that while she's asking all of her questions, a conversation just naturally forms.
Kasumi
That's Saya for you! You know me so well~!
Rimi
Oh, okay. Questions, huh~?
Kasumi
Ah! Alrighty then, Rimi-rin! Give it a try!
Kasumi
I'll play the person you're meeting for the first time! Try talking to me!
Rimi
W-well... Okay. I just have to ask questions, right?
Kasumi
Right, exactly! 'kay, give it a shot!
Rimi
... Uhm, a-alright! H-here goes...
Rimi
... E-excuse me! Wh-where are you from?
Kasumi
You're talking to me?! Where do you think I'm from?
Rimi
... Huh? Uhm... Well...
Kasumi
No hints either...
Saaya
H-hold up, Kasumi! Timeout!
Kasumi
Huh? Wh-what? What happened?
Saaya
This is practice for Rimi-rin. If you answer her question with a question, then there's no point...
Kasumi
Ah! You're right! S-sorry, Rimi-rin! One more time! Let's try again, from the top!
Rimi
O-okay... I-I'm sorry...
Kasumi
Now, let's gather ourselves... And~, start!
Rimi
H-hello... H-hey, what's your favorite instrument?
Kasumi
Uhh, it would have to be guitar!
Rimi
Ah, so that would mean...
Kasumi
Don't you think guitars are so awesome?! Think about it! With just six strings, you can make so many sounds! More important than anything though, doesn't it look so cool to hold it?
Kasumi
You think it looks cool too, right?
Rimi
Ah, y-yeah...
Kasumi
I knew it! Ah, could it be that you play guitar as well?
Kasumi
If you do, we should play together sometime, okay? It would be so much fun! Sound good?! C'mon, let's do it~!
Saaya
... Ah, ahahaha... Probably should've seen this coming...
Rimi
I-I think it might take a while before I can be like Kasumi-chan...
Saaya
Still... You have strengths that are unique to you, so no need to worry about it.
Rimi
Th-thank you, Saya-chan... I'll have to keep on practicing...
Transcript
Rimi
G-good afternoon, BanG Dreamer-san. Are you on a break...?
Rimi
... D-do you have a moment to spare?
Rimi
... N-no. I wouldn't call it important business... I just wanted to talk to someone about the event from the other day...
Rimi
Huh? Are you sure? Thank you...!
Rimi
... Y-yes. It was a great experience for me... I really appreciate CiRCLE for making it possible.
Rimi
I was able to listen to lots of different songs while we were there, and I feel like that expanded the limits of my music as well.
Rimi
... Hm? What I mean by the limits of my music is... Hmm~...
Rimi
I-I feel like up until that point, I let myself be convinced that we should only make Poppin'Party-like music...
Rimi
It might be because... I created an idea in my mind of what was fitting for Poppin'Party and used that idea to decide what I was supposed to do...
Rimi
That's why when Marina-san told us to forget about what other people think and plow straight ahead...
Rimi
My point of view became wider... Or rather, I felt like things became a lot clearer...
Rimi
So I thought it might be a good idea to make a song that doesn't fit our image every now and then...
Rimi
Th-thank you!
Rimi
Getting those kinds of compliments from you warms my heart...
Rimi
... B-but... for us to make music that doesn't fit our image, I think I have to understand a lot more about the world...
Rimi
I want to be more like Kasumi-chan. I want to talk to more types of people and become friends with them. I have to find things that will push me forward, don't you agree?
Rimi
... Yeah. Kasumi-chan really is amazing!
Rimi
No matter which booth she went to, she immediately got along with whoever was there!
Rimi
Ah! She even had a conversation with someone from overseas using just hand gestures and body language!
Rimi
... No. I don't think other languages are her strong suit... She even had to take a review session the other day...
Rimi
I do well enough on my tests, but... there's no way I would be able to talk to someone from overseas.
Rimi
Kasumi-chan is such an inspiration...
Rimi
... What? Well, I was able to talk so much just now probably because you're the one I'm talking to.
Rimi
I guess you could say that you're very easy to talk to. At least in my opinion.
Rimi
... Uh, uhm... I want to be able to talk to anyone, no matter who it is, just like Kasumi-chan, so...
Rimi
I'd like for you to be my conversation partner every now and then...
Rimi
P-please. If you don't mind...
Rimi
...
Rimi
Wah! Thank you so much! Alright, I'll see you again soon...!
