| Everyone in Aqours, this town we live in, the school we go to... 1 | |
| School idols are deeply connected to their schools and towns, so I thought it would be best to put a taste of that stuff in the songs I write. 2 | |
| Right. You want people to find out more about where you're from, so it can act as some PR, too. Two birds with one stone! | |
| Yeah. I want to make a song for Aqours who support this town, and for everyone in this town who supports us. 3 + | |
| I think that my responsibility as the songwriter is to make music that returns all of the love we receive. 4 | |
| (Riko... So that's how she felt about writing songs.) | |
| So, I'm trying really hard to research a lot about the town and school and put that into my music. 5 | |
| So what were your searching, exactly? | |
| Umm. I tried observing everyone in Aqours. From morning at school until we go home after club. 6 | |
| Wait... You did? | |
| Yeah. Reflecting the image of our members is important in our songs. I wanted to observe them naturally, so I didn't want to ask questions, but... 7 + | |
| I had to ask about what they do at home and stuff because I can't watch them there. 8 | |
| I also asked about stuff like how they think of the school, Uchiura, and Numazu. 9 | |
| Not only that, but I researched the town's history and culture and went all around to observe the sights and how people move around. 10 | |
| Wow, that's a lot more work than I thought it'd be. | |
| But still, your songs didn't leave you satisfied? | |
| But still, your songs didn't leave you satisfied? | |
| Yeah. This feeling is dragging me down and affecting my other work. I don't know what to do. 11 | |
| Now you know a whole lot, right? | |
| Now you know a whole lot, right? | |
| Yes. I gained knowledge, but that's all. Something decisive seems to be missing, but I can't figure out what it is. 12 + | |
| That was when I found out my teacher was having a concert, so I thought she might be able to give me some advice. 13 | |
| You didn't want to ask Chika and them? | |
| No. It'd be cold if I said it didn't involve them, but I just wanted to ask someone who had no connection with the town or school. 14 + | |
| I thought maybe I was looking at things too narrowly from too much research. 15 | |
| I see... So what did your teacher say? | |
| She said I was thinking too much. She told me to let my heart be free. But... 16 | |
| But you couldn't accept that. | |
| If my song writing is too free, it'll lose the essence of Numazu and Aqours. 17 | |
| The music I write isn't just for myself. 18 | |
| Riko... | |
| Hey, can you let me hear you play? Like right now? | |
| Right now?! What's gotten into you? 19 | |
| I guess I just want to listen to it. Is that a no? | |
