Umiri-chan,
what about next week?
I was thinking of pushing things forward to 5PM.
Misumi-san, you've got something scheduled after this, right?
Sorry, that would really help.
...? Did you need something?
Not really... I just thought that was an unusual combination.
Umiri, were you always friends with Misumi-san?
Oh! Is this jealousy?
*Sigh*... That's not it.
It seems things with your band were settled peacefully.
If anything happens, feel free to reach out to me anytime.
Nothing else will happen.

RiNG Studio

When is the next live performance?
We'll do a performance.
Was the live that moving?
I mean, we were pretty amazing, right?
We don't need to for a while.
We want to thoroughly prepare for the next one and—
Let's do a performance.
I said... Wait, why are you only saying this to me...?
Oh, honestly. You're hopeless~
Here you go, Rāna-chan. It's a deep-steamed green tea candy~
Hey, you're late~
And you didn't text back...
We'll do a performance.
What, you already ate it!?
I don't have any more candy~
I-I'll go buy some tea!
I-I'll go, too!
The other day, I saw Mutsumi-chan.
She said that you were lost too, Soyo-chan.

RiNG Lobby

Soyo-san came.
That's so mean!
She finally came, you didn't have to say that—
The guitar. Did you practice a lot?
You practiced even when you weren't coming here, right?
Well, I did play a little when I felt like it.
You are so bad at lying. Your fingers are covered in bandages.
Well, I guess it's only natural that you'd practice.
But, practicing even after hearing something like that was... admirable.
You're so bad at apologies.
Ririko
Taki-chan!
Oh, Ririko-san.
Did something happen?
Ririko
Sorry for interrupting your conversation~
Have you decided on your set list for the performance this weekend?
Background
Background
"Tomori Takamatsu"... This is it.
We really are on the list...
Ririko
Are you going to be okay?
Tomori-chan, you really packed in as many live shows as you could, huh?
We'll do a performance?
What do we do? The show is in three days!?
Unbelievable.
Um... What about the song we played the other day...?
Hmm, how did that song go...?
I suddenly got dragged up there, and it was all improv.
I can't play it again.
You play things differently every time.
What about "Hekitenbansou"?
Even if we play it,
I think one song won't be enough with this allotted time.
I won't play "Haruhikage."
So, we have to play a new song.
Can we do it in time?
Hang on!
Haven't we forgotten something even more important!?
Our band name and costumes!!
We haven't decided on them at all!
Is this really the time to be worrying about that?
I think that's just how things are right now.
What~?
This time, I'm not giving up on them!
Ririko
Hmm... If you can't prepare in time,
would you like to cancel?
Everyone
......
W-We'll perform.
We'll perform. Five of us.
Ririko
Okay. Isn't that wonderful?
Ririko-san, you say that in such a carefree way.
We're the ones who are gonna get embarrassed.
Ririko
Hehe.
That's completely up to you, you know?
I don't mind doing it.
I've already embarrassed myself anyway.
I think this band can work.
That's why I want to do the next performance right.
We're always sort of haphazard, though...
So, we have to get ready!
There isn't much time before the show!
Tomori, stray cat, go home and then come to my place.
We'll get this new song ready in time for the performance.
I'll make costumes!
I'll think up designs all night!
*Sigh*...
Just don't interfere with Tomori's work, okay?
Background

The Way Home

Tomori-chan is stubborn, isn't she?
You're just now realizing that?
The performance... She said, "five of us."
What was she planning to do if I refused?
She probably didn't think about that.
If she weren't stubborn, she wouldn't have gone so far
as to fight us to get you back, Soyo-san.
She couldn't give up on the band or on you.
Even if it meant being alone.
We really are just getting led around by Tomori-chan, aren't we?
You know,
I'm not going to call you "Soyo-san" anymore.
I'm not going to quit!
So you don't quit either, Soyorin!
What? "Soyorin"?
Don't quit, okay?
Oh, what's wrong with her...
Background

Tomori, Anon, Rāna, Soyo, Taki

Anon
Haven't we forgotten something important?
I came up with a band name.
Anon
ANON TOKYO!
Anon
Good, right?
Taki
Absolutely not.
Soyo
That won't work.
What? "ANON TOKYO" is the only choice for our band name, right?
You have no taste in names.
Oh, Nyamuchi has uploaded a new video!
What? She bought an electronic drum kit!?
Maybe I'll just take a little peek...
Illustration
Nyamu
Good morn~nyamu~nyamu~!
How are you doing, everyone~?
Nyamu
I know this is sudden... but I bought an electronic drum kit~!
Nyamu
I'm thinking of uploading videos of me practicing!
I'll give it my best nyamu try~
That's incredible...
No, no!
I must think about the costumes!

The Next Day

RiNG - Café

So, what are you going to do?
In the end, the new song and the costumes still aren't done.
Sorry. I couldn't come up with lyrics...
! You don't have to push yourself too hard, Tomori.
Can you make it in time without pushing it?
You might be right, but...
At any rate, we need to at least do something about the new song tonight.
Should we all get together?
At your home again, Taki-chan?
No... five people won't fit my place.
Then, want to talk at my place?
Background

Nagasaki's Home - Living Room

I'll go make some tea, so just make yourself at home.
What's wrong? Come over here and have a seat!
? Delicious...?
What? Rāna-chan, what are you eating?
Soba.
Bought at a convenience store.
You like soba, right?
What are you doing?
Aren't we supposed to be writing a new song?
Background

Several Hours Later

How about it? I bought an effects pedal!
Pretty cool, right?
Quit making a racket.
You're bothering Tomori.
You stay here.
Here, candy.
Hm... What's this?
You're not allowed to touch the tablet.
If you touch the wrong spot, the song data will be deleted.
Taki-chan, when did you start learning MIDI music?
In middle school.
I thought I might need it if I were ever in a band again.
Rikki, you're so devoted.
You always ignore me like that!
Honestly... Ah! The pick is chipped~!
Rāna-chan's pick...?
You lend it to me? Thanks~!
Oh, there's some kind of logo here.
Umm... "SPACE"?
? Grandma's...?
Tomori... You don't have to force yourself to write the lyrics.
Oh, then let's talk about costumes to change the mood!
I saved some reference images of costumes on my smartphone~
What about something like this?
Illustration
Is this a picture of an overseas celebrity?
We'd be basically naked!
We'd never be able to make something like that, and we'd never be able to wear it either.
It isn't something you'd wear in a band anyway, is it?
I don't think it's good to get caught up in stereotypes~
I think it's good to present ourselves in different ways.
And, I mean, I want to stand out!
Now I know why our costumes still haven't been decided on.
What kind of performance do you want to do in these?
What~? Rikki, Soyorin, aren't you being kinda mean!?
I don't like you calling me Soyorin~
What? Isn't it cute?
I said, I don't like it.
Your naming sense really ticks me off.
Seriously, you have no taste.
You're the ones with no taste!
Right, Tomorin?
When did that happen...?
Um... then, what about me...?
You're Rikki, Rikki!
Hang on, look outside!
The night view from here is insane!
Hey! Let's all take a picture together!
I made a social media account for our band, so we can post it there!
What...? Without asking anyone?

Nagasaki's Home - Balcony

I'm taking it now~! Come on, Soyorin, you too!
Soyorin, hurry up! Soyorin!
My name isn't Soyorin.
Illustration / 2
Ugh... I closed my eyes...
Let me see... Ugh, what is this?
I'm all blurry!
Ah... There's something shiny behind me...
Huh? Wait, both of you!
We aren't taking another one!? Wait!
The truth is, I knew what you were thinking.
I knew that you couldn't forget about CRYCHIC.
I knew that... and I used you, too.
That's why... I'm horrible, too.
That's all I had to say.
