I watched Ave Mujica on Music Floor yesterday!
The interaction with the host ended up feeling like a comedy skit, didn't it?
Not really. The host did a great job picking up on what I was saying and making it entertaining.
That was so much fun! Ahaha!

I have macarons. Which color would you choose?
Red or black... By the way, I'm still on a diet.
Let me have one then. Even if I eat, I won't gain weight.
*Munch*... Yeah, it's sesame-flavored.
I'm so jealous of Umiko's constitution~
If we share half, the calores will be halved! right?
I see! No, no, saying things like this isn't good~
Not long ago, everyone was still...
Background
I won't let Mujica disband.
This is such an important moment. Do you really think this is okay?
Togawa-san, aren't you the one not paying attention to the members?
Background
Whenever I speak up, I ruin everything...
Background
What's the big deal~ Finally, we're in the best state now.
That's true, the atmosphere of the band has improved...
It's all thanks to Mutsumi-chan.
Really impressive to dispel negative rumors with such
Even the rumors of disbanding have disappeared.
But having such a lazy attitude, like you did
Although the direction may differ slightly from what Togawa-san expected from Ave Mujica...
Wakaba-san also expressed Ave Mujica's worldview
Isn't that why we got a magazine feature?
Starting now, we're a band.
I will write music worthy of Ave Mujica!
Background / 2
Huh? That sounded just like something Sakiko would say~
A shared destiny means just that.
Shared destiny, huh... I like the Mujica we have now.
Are you really going to settle like this?
We worked so hard to come together, but you're still so laid-back!
We had a tour scheduled,
Yeah, we have to perform a new song on the last day of the tour.
When will it even be finished~?
Saki-chan has been pretty busy lately too. I'll help out too.
Misumi-san, Wakaba-san, it's about time to go.
You're off to shoot the cover for "ERA," right? That's so nice~
I'll let the editor know.
Yay! Should I come too?
Background
Saki-chan... I wonder if she's exhausted?
She'd never shown that side of herself before.
It's all those invisible jobs, like directing live shows and writing scripts.
I want to ease her burden, even just a little, but...
It's not good for her health!
Then just tell her! Tell her to sleep properly!
When there's too much work,
Hehe, Mutsumi-chan,
The Mana-chan from "sumimi"?
Yeah, when I'm with Mutsumi-chan, I feel really at ease.
Background
But the first time we met, you didn't talk much.
Background
Didn't Uika-chan say before that
Now, the closest person to Sakiko-chan is Uika-chan.
Ah, Uika-chan.
Background
(What's wrong with you? Mutsumi...)
Saki-chan, you are still awake?
It's not good for your health!
You're not sleeping enough. Go to sleep for today.

Your handwriting is easy to read. That helps a lot.
Didn't you get enough sleep?
Not really. I'm working on songs for the next live... What about math?
I'm pretty good at it. No thanks.
I never thought I'd one day borrow notes from you.
Me neither. I never thought I'd see Umiri on TV five days a week.
The band. Didn't you say it might disband?
That's been resolved. The tour is going well too.
It's like a sparkler about to burn out.

Hmm...
Your expression is too stiff.
Yeah, yeah~ Relax more!
W-Wait, what are you doing all of a sudden?
Uika-chan and Umiri-chan, come join too!
I was trying not to overlap with my sumimi image, though.
Everyone, gather together and strike a pose!
Background
Yeah, it's amazing! It feels like the new Ave Mujica.
Wow, it's really great! I love this photo~
Everyone's unique charm shines through...
Background
I want us all to bring out each other's strengths and make Mujica even bigger~!
Yeah! Let's make Mujica even better!
Well...
Umiko, honestly...
Well, that's just my nature.

I heard you all are going to Fukuoka for a tour this weekend.
We'll do our best to give the audience a dream-like experience.
Nyamu-chan... Amoris's family will be coming too, right?
That's right~
Minami-chan has a favorite shop. I'm really looking forward to visiting it.
Please leave your recommendations for places to visit
That's right!
Thank you so much!
Ah, the gesture says no... So it's a no...
We'd love to have you anytime.
We might actually come by!

Ahhh...
Whatever! Forget it! I'm drinking it! I'm drinking the whole thing!
Gulp, gulp... gulp, phew—!
Background
How come she's leavin' the topic to me, then takin' it right back to herself? It's just so frustratin', I tell ya~
Illustration
"Why ya soundin' so down? What happened?"
Ugh, where do I even start~?
I thought for sure I'd grab myself an opportunity in Tokyo,
Background
"Oh dear, how'd it come to this?"
Yeah. I thought I could bounce off Muuko during today's recording,
That's why, even though I don't usually drink this stuff,
"Don't worry.
"It means wheat only grows stronger after bein' trampled on.

"Mama! I want to talk to big sister~
Wait your turn! Don't y'all fight~
"Nyamu-sister, thank ya for the cat plushie!"
"Big sister, you were on TV. I'm so proud~!"
I see.
I'll set off a big ol' firework for y'all. Make sure y'all watchin'~
"Take care now. We're all rootin' for ya!"
Y'all look forward to the Fukuoka concert the day after tomorrow, ya hear?

Nationwide Tour - Fukuoka First Day

During Rehearsal
We'll start checking the sound equipment. I heard you haven't been able to
My sincere apologies, we'll leave it to you.
Mutsumi, what are you saying?
Because I don't know how to play guitar at all.
Background
What do you mean by that?
But you've been playing it all this time!
I can't play it because I've never played it before.
Is it your fingers or arms that hurt?
You can't even play the songs from the first day of the tour?
I can't play any of them~
Wait, what are you talking about? I can't understand a thing.
What's the problem? I was doing fine without the guitar, right?
What are we supposed to do? The TV performance was fine since it was only one song,
But that's a different story if we're playing the full set...
Wait, what about rehearsals?
It hurts... Hey, don't pull me.
Background
What are you thinking? You already ruined the performance with improvisation,
You used to care so much about the guitar!
This is all for Ave Mujica.
Sakiko-chan said it, right?
So, I spoke to everyone on behalf of Sakiko-chan.
Background
Uika-chan, Umiri-chan, Nyamu-chan—
If things stay like this, we can stay together forever, Sakiko-chan.
Background
What nonsense are you talking about...
Do you really not understand? Sakiko-chan is
"Sakiko-chan"?
Are you... really Mutsumi?
Mutsumi-chan is already dead.
Ah, I got it wrong. It's more like she's asleep, as if dead.
What do you mean by "asleep"?
A long time ago, I chatted with Mutsumi-chan,
After Mutsumi-chan started playing guitar,
One day, when Mutsumi-chan couldn't sleep from all the pain,
But Sakiko-chan, only thinking of herself,
Background
Why aren't you on my side!?
Background
Just like this, with all the wounds on her,
That's why I hate Sakiko-chan.
Don't worry.
If Sakiko-chan keeps being like this,
Saki-chan...! You were here.
I just passed by Mutsumi-chan, are you done talking...?
That... wasn't Mutsumi...
Background
Wakaba-san said that... That just came out of nowhere.
Were you calling for me?
Is it true you have a split personality?
Hmm... So you told everyone about it, Sakiko-chan♪
Let's decide what to do moving forward. We didn't even get to rehearse...
Mutsumi-chan's guitar recordings...
This is the downside of insisting on live performances.
Mutsumi-chan's guitar is the core of the songs.
If we're going to hold the live, I'll immediately find someone to help.
I can handle it, no matter how many hours it takes!
Whether they're here for a play or the music,
But that... doesn't count as a band anymore...
You know, I've been holding back for a long time.
Even when Muuko stole the spotlight and I was ignored,
Whether it's the band or the live, it's not just us doing it.
Background
Have you thought about the audience looking forward to tomorrow's live?
It's not just ticket money. They spend so much on travel and accommodation—
Background
Saving up from their jobs for Ave Mujica's live concert.
Background
Then, should we expel Muuko?

When I saw your clothes at first, I thought you were sloppy,
Background
I really thought we'd climb to the top together.
What "Give me your life"!
Background
Uiko, if one person quits, Ave Mujica is over, right?
Huh? How did it come to this?
I am calm. She did say it, didn't she?
If I hadn't said it back then...
Uika-chan, you are always lying.
That's why we don't have to disband!
I don't want it! Absolutely not! We absolutely won't disband!
A band is about playing music together and destinies becoming one!
Now is the time to determine the true value of the band!
*Sigh*...
Why? Why are we even talking about disbanding?
How did it come to this?
Uika-chan! After I told you to "take care of Sakiko-chan,"
Nyamu-chan! Didn't we talk about using everyone's strengths
Even Umiri-chan said,
Why are you in Mujica in the first place?
When you acted as a doll, honestly, it scared me to the point of trembling.
Illustration
I saw the strings pulled tight, then snap.
Even though I felt frustrated, I realized that this is what true genius looks like...
You shouldn't belong here.
Why? Why would you be mean to me?
Nobody's leaving, right?
Sakiko-chan! Uika-chan! Umiri-chan!
The Performance

The moon sinks into the earth.
Our fleeting lives end here.
Why would you say something like that?
The dolls no longer exist.
With tonight's masquerade—
We announce the curtain call of Ave Mujica.
