Tomoe
Himari~, if you don't have any club activities today, wanna walk home together?
Himari
Sounds good to me~! I actually had something I wanted to ask you about!
Tomoe
Me? What's that?
Himari
So we were talking about new outfits for our band, right? I came up with some ideas~!
Himari
I think they're pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Tomoe
Ahaha, well aren't you full of confidence! What'd you come up with?
Himari
I thought it would be easier to find what we have in common if I came up with an outfit in each member's image first!
Himari
So I've been thinking a lot about that!
Himari
Let's start with Ran! What comes to mind, Tomoe?
Tomoe
Hm, lemme see... I'd have to say vocals and the guitar. Our sound relies on her. We'd get nowhere if she wasn't there.
Himari
Ugh~. Yes~, but no! Not that! When you think of Ran, you think of flowers!
Tomoe
Flowers? Yeah, you could say that. They go hand in hand with her family name.
Himari
Exactly. And I heard she's been working really hard studying flower arranging recently. So Ran equals flowers!
Himari
So maybe we can buy a bunch of the same type of flowers, have Ran make them into a corsage, and then have us all wear them! What do you think?
Tomoe
Hmm~... It sounds like it'd be pretty, but wouldn't they just die after the performance?
Tomoe
I don't think it's too bad of an idea though. Just that we'd have to prepare new ones every single time. In which case, wouldn't it be better to get fake flowers?
Himari
Y-yeah... But flower arranging and fake flowers don't really go together, so that idea's no good, huh...?
Himari
O-okay then! What about Moca? What comes to mind when you think of Moca?
Tomoe
My image of Moca... is that she does everything at her own pace, but is surprisingly observant at the same time, I guess.
Tomoe
And, you know, she really likes bread.
Himari
Bread...! Th-that's right! Yeah~, if we had bread-themes accessories, it would be totally cute...!
Tomoe
You mean you thought of something else? What'd you come up with as an outfit for Moca?
Himari
Uhm~... L-like, something a convenience store clerk would wear...
Tomoe
... So cosplay?
Himari
Ngh, no~! Obviously, the first thing I thought of was bread, but... I couldn't really come up with a good idea for that outfit...
Himari
But think about it! She works a part-time job at a convenience store! So I figured something in that style could work~!
Tomoe
I might understand that outfit if all five of us had the same part-time job...
Himari
Yeah, you're right... I guess this is no good too, huh...? I should've went with the bread idea~.
Himari
A-alright, next is Tsugu! What comes to mind for you?
Tomoe
Tsugu is... a hard worker, definitely. Sometimes she overdoes it, so you have to make sure to watch over her.
Tomoe
And if you wanted a Tsugu-like outfit... I'm guessing you'd go with something a worker at a café would wear?
Himari
I was wondering if something in that style could be cute~. My idea was accessories with a coffee theme~.
Himari
Something like a hairpin with a coffee cup on it... Adorable, right~?
Tomoe
Yeah. True, but... wouldn't you say that coffee has that relaxed, jazzy image going for it?
Himari
... So you think so too? I actually thought the same thing~... Ohh~, another idea out the window...
Tomoe
I know you might wanna go with the café theme, but I feel like that doesn't really match the type of music we play.
Tomoe
By the way, what kind of outfit would you say fits my image?
Himari
Well, you're in the dance club! Remember that one time you had that street look going? That was so cool~.
Tomoe
Ahaha, so we all have completely different styles! I think you might have a hard time finding something in common with all of those.
Himari
Ohh~... B-but I can't think of anything else~! Tomoe~! What would be an outfit that suits us~?
Tomoe
Take it down a notch, Himari. I say you should start by thinking about accessories.
Tomoe
Let's go check some out later today. Something might hit you while we're browsing!

Tomoe
Hey, BanG Dreamer-san. Yeah, I was looking at this drum catalog.
Tomoe
Nah, I'm not looking to buy a new drum set. I just feel like my drum head is starting to wear down, so I was thinking of replacing it.
Tomoe
But that's an idea... A new instrument, huh?
Tomoe
I mean, yeah. I'd love to buy one.
Tomoe
We're making new outfits right now, so it would be nice to get another drum set at the same time.
Tomoe
But that's not something where you can just up and buy a new one, you know~... I'll put that off for another time.
Tomoe
And compared to an entire set, the drum head is actually something I have a chance of being able to pay for! I'll just wait before I do anything too new for myself.
Tomoe
While I was here though, I figured I would see if the same maker had put out something new. That's why I was looking at this catalog. That's when this ad caught my attention.
Tomoe
This one. It's a printing service for drum heads.
Tomoe
Yep. Like when they put the band's name on the bass drum, exactly. A lot of famous bands do that, don't they?
Tomoe
And so it makes me want that too. I bet it would feel awesome to be able to play one of our songs on a drum that says Afterglow on it.
Tomoe
It suck that the address that they have written is so far from here... Too bad, huh?
Tomoe
I wanted to try it out though~... I guess delivery could work too, but whatever. I'll forget about it for now.
Tomoe
... What? Some people do it themselves?!
Tomoe
Seriously?! When you hear someone say they can make something on their own, doesn't it make you wanna give it a shot too?
Tomoe
They probably use some sort of sticker that they can cut into their logo and put right on the drum... I wonder what kind...
Tomoe
... Wait a sec'. You can... so the same with outfits too, no?
Tomoe
Yeah, like when you iron them on! I've heard of people ironing letters onto their happi for festivals too!
Tomoe
Oh, but... I feel like they also said that the surrounding fabric ended up changing color...
Tomoe
Nah, but there are probably much cleaner ways to do it than with an iron... I gotta start by looking this up!
Tomoe
Thanks, BanG Dreamer-san!
