Ako
It's finally lunchtime~!
LOCK
I had P.E. this morning. I'm so hungry.
Asuka
Me too. Let's eat already. Hey, Ako, bring your desk over.
Ako
Here... You go. Okay!
Asuka
Alright. Now, let's eat.
Ako & LOCK
Yes, let's!
Okay.
Okay.
Asuka
...That reminds me, Ako. I saw it. The magazine Roselia was featured in.
Asuka
I think it was about the event sponsored by that agency the other day. There was an article about it.
Ako
Is that the one that came out yesterday?! Woohoo~! You read it?!
LOCK
I saw it too. They gave you quite the introduction.
Asuka
Yeah, the photo had quite the impact too.
Ako
I know, right~? I bought two! One for reading and one to preserve!
Ako
But, you know~... There was one part that disappointed me.
LOCK
Disappointed you...?
Ako
You know how they wrote like a cool nickname for Yukina-san?
Asuka
Ahh... That's right.
LOCK
"The Songstress of Blue Roses"... Was it?
Ako
Yeah! That's it!
Ako
I wanted a cool nickname like that too~!
Ako
Like, "The Soul-Stirring Jet-Black Fallen Angel"... or something!
Asuka
Is that really cool though...?
LOCK
A-ahaha...
LOCK
I'm not sure about a nickname, but they did write about you properly, didn't they?
Ako
Yeah, but still~. Only Yukina-san got a cool nickname!
Ako
All they wrote about me was, "She looks cute and cheerful as she enjoys herself on the drums."
Asuka
That's quite the compliment though.
LOCK
You do always look like you're enjoying yourself.
Ako
I know, but still~! I really wanted a cool nickname!
Ako
Like it would've been so cool if they wrote, "The Demon Princess Descends," or something next to that photo of me under the spotlight!
Asuka
Right~...
LOCK
I-I guess...
Ako
It would have!
Ako
But if only me and Yukina-san are cool, the balance is kinda bsd, right?
Ako
So... maybe we should've all gotten nicknames?!
Ako
Uhmm, let's see...~ Rin-rin could be "The Magician of Melody," or something!
Ako
Sayo-san needs something more sharp and cool! And Lisa-nee would suit something brighter I guess~?
Ako
Extremely... Affectionate... Hmm, I can't decide~!
Asuka
Ahh... This conversation is getting out of hand.
LOCK
I had a feeling this would happen...
Asuka
Same here. Well, at least she's having fun.
LOCK
Fufu... Yeah.
Ako
Hmm, who else...? Let me think~... Aha! And I'll think of nicknames for you two too!
Ako
Wait a minute! Umm, let's start with Rokka~...
LOCK
Huh, me?!
Asuka
You don't need to give us nicknames! Okay?!
Ako
Don't be like that! I'll think of something really cool for you both!
Asuka
I said we don't need them! Ugh!
LOCK
A-ahaha...

Ako
BanG Dreamer-san! Hi!
Ako
Nope, I don't have band practice today! I'm doing some intensive solo practice!
Ako
Even though I just had a big event the other day...? Yeah~, that's exactly why!
Ako
Our show the other day was a huge, huge, huge success! But that doesn't mean I can let my guard down now!
Ako
It's like my pride as a member of Roselia~... Ah, I know! I'll tell you about that thing~.
Ako
You know, we're actually in talks with an agency at the moment-
Ako
Huh...? You knew that already?!
Ako
What the- I was keeping it a secret so I could surprise you...
Ako
Yeah, well, nothing's been decided yet! We're gonna have proper talks about it soon.
Ako
...Am I worried? Hmm, I'm not really worried.
Ako
I don't really know much about that world, but... I'm think I'm more excited than worried!
Ako
I mean, there are so many awesome artists out there, right?
Ako
And we're going to join them~... I'm sure that means we're gonna have to face harder challenges than we have before.
Ako
...But it's like a chance to level up!
Ako
Like, in games, the stronger an enemy is, the more EXP you get, right?
Ako
We'll knock out any enemies standing in our way and keep on leveling up!
Ako
I want lots of people to watch Roselia as we get cooler and cooler!
Ako
...Ehehe, you'll be cheering me on? Thanks! I'll do my best!
Ako
I'm sure the reason I'm so excited is because I believe in Roselia!
Ako
I truly believe that, no matter what happens, if the five of us are together, everything will be okay!
Ako
We might fight or disagree on things, or feel lost and down sometimes, but...
Ako
If I'm with everyone, if I'm with Roselia... then I think I can always look forward!
Ako
That's how I've come this far anyway!
Ako
I want us to keep being this kind of band. Because I wanna stay in this kinda band!
Ako
And that's why I'm all fired up! I'm gonna go practice my heart out!
Ako
Today's gonna be a good day! Yeah!
