Riko | Okay, come in. 1 |
Player | This is...the Uranohoshi Girls' High School's music room? |
Riko | Should we air it out a bit? I'll go open the windows. 2 |
Player | So, Riko, why are we here? I came with you since you asked, but... |
Riko | Because I want to hear your playing. 4 |
Player | Mine? |
Riko | I'll leave the song choice up to you. A famous classical piece, a school idol song, or something you make up on the fly, anything will do. 5 |
Riko | I want to hear what you sound like when you're free to perform however you like. 6 |
Player | Isn't that...something I said? |
Riko | It is. It's the same thing you said to me before. 8 + |
Riko | I had it in my head that I was the only one who wasn't truly from Uchiura and that I wasn't the same as everyone else. But you opened my eyes. 9 + |
Riko | Aqours' songs are for me, too, because I'm one of the people who makes Aqours what it is. You helped me realize that. 10 |
Riko | The same thing applies to you. Nijigasaki's school idol songs are to help Ayumu, Kasumi, Karin, and the others really shine. 11 |
Riko | But that's not all. Nijigasaki High's School Idol Club isn't complete with just the nine of them, now is it? 12 + |
Riko | You are a member of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, too. That means everyone's songs are also your songs. 13 + |
Player | I am...my songs... |
Riko | Listen. To. Me! 15 + |
Player | Mmph?! R-Riho, stahp squishin' m' face! |
Riko | You don't have to keep your mind and body so stiff all the time! 17 + |
Player | Y-Yesh ma'am! |
Riko | Ahaha! Your face is as red as a beet. Sorry. 19 |
Player | Uhh, you super squashed my face there. You really show no mercy sometimes. |
But that got my head back on straight. select_1 | |
Player | But, you know, this got my head back on straight. I haven't been thinking about myself either, whenever I'm writing songs. |
Riko | I don't think that's a bad thing in and of itself. It happens when you're trying to bring out the best in the people you're writing for. 20 |
I had no idea that I was worrying over the same stuff as you were. select_2 | |
Player | Everyone's songs are my songs, huh? I sounded all high and mighty when I told you that, but I ended up worrying about the same things. That's pretty pathetic. |
Riko | With our work, it's really easy to feel like we aren't a part of the group. Since our work's appreciated by so many people, we have to try to be extra strict and objective. 21 |
Riko | But unless you can love yourself, you won't be able to make anything good. 22 |
Player | So first I just need to let myself feel and play freely, right? |
Riko | That's it! 23 |
Player | I feel like I can make a song for everyone now. My fingers are itching to get to playing! |
Riko | Then go on and take a seat! Play whatever your heart tells you to play! 24 |
Player | Okay! Listen to this, Riko. I'm about to play a song for my dear club at Nijigasaki—the song I want to play! |
