Scene; Light music club practice room

After school, the next day. I went to practice with the light music club right away.

Minato; (I’m so excited~♪)

Senri; (It’s so gloomy~ Our new song for the concert will be The Bambiz, haa~ It’s better than Uribos, but Mr. Red Melon would definitely be more popular. --But!! For the new Shinonome light music club with Ushiwaka-senpai as a member, we can still succeed ♪ )

Senri; Ushiwaka-senpai ♪ Did you practice the tambourine?

Minato; Yeah, I’m ready. At the end of the song, I should coolly hit the tambourine twice, right?

I hit the tambourine for Senri.

Senri; Senpai, that’s peeeeeerfect! God-like!

Minato; I’m glad~ I practiced a lot.

Shigure; (Ushiwaka… I thought he decided to join the club on a whim, but he seems serious.)

Minato; Oh, but there was something I wanted to ask you.

Senri; Ask me anything ♪

Minato; I’m only playing the tambourine at the very end, right? I was wondering what I’m supposed to do until then.

Senri; Ah, right. It’s okay! Until the critical tambourine part, you can just smile and move to the music ♪

Minato; Oh~ got it.

Touji; Shall we begin practice?

Takaomi; We’re running out of time. Let’s do it.

Senri; Ah, wait, I’m still getting set up!

Shigure; Ushiwaka, you can come stand next to me.

Minato; Oka~y.

Minato; (Okay, time to show them the results of my practice~)

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

--And, although our hearts were in it…

Takaomi; Stop stop stop!

The music stopped. This was about the 20th time.

Takaomi; Touji! How many times do I have to tell you. You keep speeding up from the hook. It’s crap.

Touji; Uu.... I’m sorry. I will be aware of it next time, and strive for perfect improvement.

Shigure; Can I say something as well? It’s about the vocals in the second verse--

Senri; Uwah, are you going to say you can’t hear me…?

Shigure; I can hear you. However, it seems as though your lack of confidence is coming through in the volume of your voice.

Senri; Oh…

Takaomi; The melody is complicated in the second verse, so you’re overthinking it. You need to practice until you can sing it in your sleep.

Senri; Urgh…

Shigure; So, staying aware of these points, shall we start once more from the top?

Minato; (Everyone’s doing their best. I’ll play the tambourine well too!)

--30 minutes later.

Senri; Mmm, I think the guitar solo before the third verse should sound clearer.

Touji; Yes, I agree. It feels more muffled than in the original song.

Takaomi; ‘Kay, I’ll adjust the effects next time.

Minato; ……….

Shigure; Harimiya-kun, this may be a bother, but why don’t we have just the rhythm section practice together?

Touji; Yes! Certainly!

Minato; ……….

Senri; Hey, what about my second verse? I think it’s gotten better since we started.

Takaomi; Your voice is still shaky. It’s a hundred years too early to put you onstage.

Senri; Uu… But if I just copy the original there’s no point.

Takaomi; That’s an admirable attitude, but you need to blend in with the song more.

Senri; Ugugu…

Minato; …………….

Takaomi; ‘Kay, should we start again?

Shigure; Let’s make the next one the last for today.

Touji; Rome was not built in a day. Continued practiced and consistent exertion are important.

Senri; Then get ready for our last song ♪
