Shiho (1)
Shiho	Oh, I didn't realize this girl band had made their major debut. I remember playing as part of the backing band for one of their shows.
Shiho	I hope things go well for them.

Minori (1)
Minori	Oh, I haven't seen this concert DVD in forever! I remember watching it over and over at home to memorize the cute dances.
Minori	Hehe. I should watch it for old time's sake. I wonder where I put my copy. The bookshelf? Or maybe it's in my old idol costume case?
Minori	I-I hope I didn't accidentally throw it out! I'll have to look for it when I get home!

Airi (1)
Airi	Oh! They're doing a promotional event for this new idol group!
Airi	I've never heard of them before, but they sure can dance. They look so enthusiastic, too. It just makes me want to cheer them on.
Airi	All right, I've got to pick up a copy of their album!

Kohane (1)
Kohane	Hey, this is the singer An was saying she really liked.
Kohane	Oh, and it comes with a free video of their recent concert. I bet that would make good reference material.
Kohane	I still don't know much about this genre, either. I should grab a copy while I'm here!

Kanade (1)
Kanade	Here it is. The website said they were out, but I'm glad I came to check anyway.
Kanade	While I'm here, I should check out some other CDs and see if I can find anything good.

Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	Looks like the featured section has changed. Let's see...
Mafuyu	Healing music to soothe the weary heart?
Mafuyu	Huh... That sounds like something we could all do with.

Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Do they have that new CD...? Here it is! Nice, this place always has stuff available before its street date!
Mizuki	Oh, that reminds me. Doesn't the theme song from that anime I just started watching come out today?
Mizuki	It comes with some freebies if you buy it at that other shop, though. Guess I'm doing some CD shop hopping today.

Ichika & Saki (1)
Saki	Ichi, check out this poster!
Ichika	Oh, isn't this the girl band Shiho really likes?
Saki	Yeah! They're so cool! I wonder if we'll ever be this good.
Ichika	First, we have to get to the point where Shiho things we're good enough to perform.
Saki	Hahaha. Easier said than done, but I think the four of us can do it!

Ichika & Honami (1)
Honami	Wow, I didn't realize Miku had so many songs.
Honami	Do you have any recommendations?
Ichika	How about this one? All the songs on this album were written with the same theme.
Honami	That sounds interesting! I'll give it a listen.
Honami	Hehe. If I ever have a question about Miku, I know exactly who to ask.
Ichika	Thanks. Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about. If I have it, you're welcome to borrow it.

Ichika & Honami (2)
Ichika	Honami, what kind of music do you normally listen to?
Honami	Just the normal stuff. I always end up hooked on songs I hear while going about my day. You know, like drama theme songs and stuff you hear in commercials.
Honami	What about you, Ichika? Do you mostly listen to Miku songs?
Ichika	Yeah. It's nice because you get to listen to songs written by so many different people.

Ichika & Shiho (1)
Shiho	Ichika, you should check out this Miku CD. The song openings are really good. Here, you can listen to a sample.
Ichika	Okay. Oh, you're right. Miku makes the first few bars sound so cool.
Shiho	Right? Both the guitar and the bass tracks are turned way up too, but for some reason they mesh really well together.
Ichika	I hope we get to a point where we can play this well someday.
Shiho	Oh, I'm not hoping. I'm going to get this good, so you had all better keep up with me.
Ichika	Right. We'll do our best not to let you down.

Ichika & Shiho (2)
Shiho	Ichika, did you find the CD you were looking for?
Ichika	I did. Look...!
Shiho	Oh, this artist. You lent me one of their other CDs before because you recommended their Miku music so much.
Ichika	You remembered, Shiho?!
Shiho	Yeah. The fourth track on that album really left an impression on me.
Shiho	In particular, I really liked the strings section they used for the second verse. They even used a real guitar instead of programming one in too.
Ichika	It left that big an impression on you? I'm glad you liked it so much.
Shiho	Hehe. The way you talked about them made me want to listen to their music.
Ichika	Really?! In that case, I'll lend you everything I have! I'll bring it to school next time!
Shiho	You will? Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it.

Ichika & Nene (1)
Ichika	Let's see... Oh, found it! This is the Miku CD I was recommending to you the other day, Kusanagi.
Nene	Thanks, Hoshino. I think you mentioned that all the artists involved wrote songs based on a common theme.
Ichika	Yes. The songs all have their own style despite sharing a common theme, so it's really fun to listen to.
Ichika	Also, how Miku sings can vary greatly depending on who wrote the song. And...
Nene	(Hehe. She's having so much fun as she talks. I can tell that she loves Miku just that much.)
Ichika	Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to give a full review before you've had a chance to listen to it.
Nene	No, that's okay. You've told me what to look out for, so I'll make sure to listen to it carefully.
Ichika	Yeah!

Ichika & Nene (2)
Nene	Hoshino...? You seem really happy. Did something good happen?
Ichika	Hi, Kusanagi! It's not that big a deal, but I just saw a lot of people browsing the section for Miku CDs...
Ichika	It's nice to see so many other people showing interest in her like me.
Nene	I know what you mean. I'll sometimes encounter people looking for the same musical soundtrack as me by the same theatre troupe...
Nene	I'll ask myself, "Do they also like this troupe?" or think, "That really was such a good show!"
Ichika	Hehe. It's always really great when you see other people showing interest in the things you like.
Nene	Yeah.

Ichika & Kanade (1)
Ichika	(This girl's hair is beautiful. It's perfectly straight. Not a single strand out of place.)
Kanade	(Her hair is so black... How pretty.)
Ichika & Kanade	Oh...
Ichika	Oh, excuse me.
Kanade	I'm sorry, too.
Ichika & Kanade	(I kind of want to touch it...)

Ichika & Kanade (2)
Kanade	...
Ichika	(Oh... Is that Yoisaki at the sampling corner?)
Kanade	The chord progression before the chorus is really interesting. I have a feeling that choosing more standard chords would've resulted in a significantly different song...
Kanade	It's a novel idea, and it succeeds at immersing the listener in the world this song's trying to create. Also...
Ichika	E-Excuse me, Yoisaki...
Kanade	Huh?! H-Hoshino...?!
Ichika	I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. You were so immersed in what you were listening to that I wasn't sure if I should bother you...
Ichika	But, um... You were saying everything out loud just now, so I thought I should let you know...
Kanade	E-Everything? Oh no... This is so embarrassing.
Ichika	Hehe. I don't think anyone else was listening, so you should be safe.
Ichika	(The way she blushes is so cute.)

Saki & Honami (1)
Saki	Hey, isn't this the CD Ichi had us listen to a while back?
Honami	Oh, you mean the one she brought to your house because she wanted everyone to listen to it together?
Saki	Yeah! She was smiling so much. That was fun.
Saki	Hehehe. Since we're here, maybe I'll pick up a copy for myself!

Saki & Shiho (1)
Saki	Shiho, what kind of music do you listen to that isn't rock?
Shiho	I've been listening to a lot of Miku songs recently. Since they're written by so many different people, it gives me a chance to listen to stuff I normally wouldn't. Like this...
Saki	Oh, isn't that the album Ichi recommended?
Shiho	Yeah. I feel like she has pretty good taste in music.
Saki	I know what you mean! I've been meaning to listen to that!
Shiho	You can listen with me if you want. H-Hey, you don't need to crowd me, though.

Honami & Shiho (1)
Honami	What kind of stuff do you do working at a live house?
Shiho	I usually work reception and other odd jobs. Sometimes they ask me to stand in as a bass player.
Honami	Isn't it hard to match your playing to people you've never practiced with before?
Shiho	It usually works out all right. Trying to match my pace with new people is actually kind of fun.
Honami	Hehe. That actually sounds exactly like something you would like.

Shiho & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh, here. This CD's by that band you like, isn't it, Shii?
Shiho	I would've found it on my own, you know...?
Shizuku	Hehe. But finding things for each other makes shopping much more fun, don't you think?
Shizuku	Oh, this CD's even on display in the sampling corner. I'd like to give it a listen but...
Shiho	What is it?
Shizuku	But you can only listen to it using the store's headphones, right? If only we could use a pair of earbuds, then we could...
Shiho	There's no way I'm splitting earbuds with you like that.

Minori & Haruka (1)
Haruka	Oh, they have a dedicated ASRUN display.
Minori	You're right! They've got everything from their first single up to the latest albums. Oh, look! Here's a spot dedicated just to you, Haruka!
Haruka	Is it really necessary to continue to stock all this?
Minori	It just means you've still got lots of fans out there. I'm sure they'll all be thrilled when Haruka the idol makes her big return!
Haruka	I suppose so. I hope I can bring a smile to all their faces again.

Minori & Haruka (2)
Minori	Let's see. It's a new song, so it should be...! Hehehe...
Haruka	Minori, what are you doing...?
Minori	Eep! H-Haruka! I was just... I was just doing some mental rehearsals...
Minori	I mean, we have this really great song in the works, so I was just imagining how it'd look on display here as a CD.
Haruka	I see. Also, why are you peeking at it while trying to hide?
Minori	Haha... The scenario in my mind involves me hiding behind this shelf while seeing if anyone picks up our CD.
Haruka	Oh, I did the same thing when our first single went on sale. I couldn't help but peek into CD shops to see if anyone was buying our song...
Minori	What?! I-Is that true?!
Minori	Does that mean we can come see what's going on if we do manage to release a CD?!
Haruka	Hehe. Airi might turn you down, but it'd be nice to see the smiles on our fans' faces.

Minori & Airi (1)
Minori	Airi, you've been up on stage in stores like this one before, right?
Airi	Yeah, way back for the release of our first single. Hehe. I still remember it.
Minori	Your first promotional performance must be really special then, huh?
Airi	Yeah. For us, it was the first time we performed in front of an audience, too.
Airi	Everyone's standing right in front of you, so there's not really enough room for a fancy performance, but that also means there's no chance of faking it if you make a mistake.
Airi	I was really nervous at first, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces helped me relax and really have fun.
Minori	That's sounds great. I hope MORE MORE JUMP! gets to do a promotional performance someday, too.

Minori & Airi (2)
Minori	New Generation Idol Audition.
Airi	Something wrong with this audition, Minori?
Minori	Oh, I've applied to this audition before. It's actually the first time I've made it past the initial screening.
Minori	I didn't make it past the second phase, but I feel like it was the first time I was able to show the real me.
Airi	I know what you mean. I failed my first audition too, and that's an memory I'll never forget.

Minori & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Oh, look. There's a Cheerful*Days poster.
Shizuku	That must be the new one to show off their new lead singer.
Minori	U-Um, Shizuku...?
Shizuku	It's all right. There's no need to make that face. I know I caused them a lot of trouble by leaving so suddenly, but I don't regret a thing.
Shizuku	Now it's time for the four of us to do our best so we can hold our heads high as idols.
Minori	Right!

Minori & Shizuku (2)
Shizuku	Were you able to find that CD you wanted?
Minori	Yeah, I actually reserved it. Hehehe. It even came with a giant poster! Look!
Shizuku	Oh, that's the one they had hanging up outside.
Shizuku	Hehe. Once you make your debut, there will be posters of you hanging up all over as well.
Minori	Hm... It's still a little hard to imagine. Hahaha. I have a feeling that's going to be pretty embarrassing.

Minori & Nene (1)
Minori	Oh, Nene, look! It says that a debut event for some new idols is about to start soon!
Nene	Really? CD shops put on events like that?
Minori	Yeah! They even hold meet-and-greet events, seasonal shows and all sorts of other stuff.
Nene	I see... Oh, some people are already making their way over...
Minori	Yeah, it might be time! Wanna check it out since we're here?
Nene	Uh, sure... I don't think I've ever been to anything like this before.
Minori	Yay! I'm sure it'll be really fun! Those other people must be fans too. I have to think they're just as excited, if not more!
Nene	Right. I can't wait to see what this event's like.

Minori & Ena (1)
Minori	Wow, Ena, I didn't realize that you knew so many idol songs!
Ena	I don't actually know that much. Most of my knowledge comes from the groups and stuff Airi recommended to me.
Minori	Haha. Yeah, Airi really loves idols! We recommend music to each other if we ever find anything we like.
Ena	Interesting. I didn't realize you also like doing research.
Minori	Hehe. I do like researching this stuff, but that's only because I also love idols a lot!
Minori	And I wanna learn as much as I can in order to be able to proudly say that I love what I love!
Ena	Proudly say that you love what you love, huh? Hehe. That sounds pretty cool.
Minori	I-It does? I feel like Airi would scold me by saying, “You've still got a long way to go!”
Ena	Hehe. I don't think so. If anything, she'd probably praise you and say, “That's what I like to hear!”

Haruka & Airi (1)
Airi	Hey, I feel like I've seen the idol on this CD before. You know, from that one group...?
Haruka	They've been appearing on TV more and more lately. I remember the lead for that group being rather outspoken, but charming at the same time...
Airi	Outspoken but charming... Oh, I remember now!
Airi	They stormed out of an audition I was in after the interviewer asked all these really nasty questions!
Haruka	Wow... Sounds like a very headstrong person...
Airi	I know, right? I didn't expect them to make it as an idol at first, but I guess they found a better agency...
Haruka	Yeah, maybe.
Airi	Hehe. I'm gonna pay homage to them by buying this CD!

Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	This group has been getting a lot of attention lately. Wow, their dancing is so intense.
Haruka	Their voices don't seem to be strained at all, either. They must do a lot of stamina training.
Shizuku	You're right. We could learn a lot from them. Hm? Haruka?
Haruka	Minori's singing has been improving a lot lately. Perhaps we should try focusing more on strength training as a group and start raising the bar.
Shizuku	Hehe. Haruka's already making plans.

Airi & Shizuku (1)
Airi	Oh, that concert DVD. Is that...?
Shizuku	Yes, it's one of the girls who started with us. I was surprised to learn she's already doing shows this big.
Airi	You make it sound so extraordinary. We'll play there one day too, you know.
Airi	No, we're going to be performing on stages even bigger than this one!
Shizuku	Hehehe. You're right. The four of us are going all the way.

Airi & Shizuku (2)
Airi	Hey, this is your dad's band, isn't it?
Shizuku	Yes, I think so. I'd heard they did a reprint recently.
Airi	That's a famous band for you. I'm surprised there aren't more people who realize you're his daughter.
Shizuku	That's due to the fact he didn't use his real name and never really wanted to appear on TV music shows.
Shizuku	I think that's part of the reason I was able to just be myself, though. And I plan on continuing the same as I always have.

Airi & Shizuku (3)
Airi	Oh, it's that music video... The one Ena was talking about with the art done by an illustrator she likes...
Shizuku	It's so cute and colorful too. It even says it's for an idol group...
Airi	Really? It'd be great to work on something like this someday...
Shizuku	That sounds wonderful. We could have Ena draw everything for us and Mizuki could put the video together!
Airi	Yeah! We just gotta keep working hard if we want to make that a reality!

Airi & Ena (1)
Airi	Hm...
Ena	What's wrong, Airi? You have a pretty serious look on your face.
Airi	Well, I was thinking about buying a CD from a genre of music I don't usually listen to today...
Airi	But there's just way too much to choose from! I have no idea what to pick...!
Ena	Then, why not just buy one based on its artwork?
Airi	I could... But I'd rather choose something based on the artist or the tracks that are on it, you know...?
Airi	Sorry, I just need a little more time. Maybe one of these signs can help me...
Ena	It's okay. Take all the time you need.
Ena	(The way you take music so seriously is something I kind of like about you, Airi.)

Kohane & An (1)
Kohane	Yawn...
An	It's not very often I see you yawning. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?
Kohane	Yeah... I started listening to those CDs you lent me and before I knew it, it was already morning.
An	What?! Don't tell me you listened to them all in one night! There were like twenty of them!
Kohane	Huh? Well, yeah. They were all so good.
An	Hahaha! I guess even you do stuff like that.

Kohane & An (2)
Kohane	I've been buying a lot of my music online recently, but I still love buying actual CDs.
An	I know what you mean! It's nice having a physical thing you can hold in your hands.
Kohane	Yeah. They always end up on the same shelf, but it's so satisfying to have your collection lined up in a row.
An	Exactly! I really like the extra photos and lyrics in the booklets too. I'm never getting rid of mine.

Kohane & Akito (1)
Akito	Here, take this.
Kohane	What? Um, an album?
Akito	I gather by your reaction that you don't know who this is.
Akito	If you only listen to what An recommends, your tastes are going to become unbalanced. Don't let yourself get too focused on a single genre just because it's popular.
Kohane	Oh, thanks! I'll try to listen to a lot of different styles!

Kohane & Toya (1)
Kohane	Oh, there's another poster for that group again. I've been seeing them a lot lately.
Toya	Oh, the one with the two MCs, a DJ, and a mascot?
Kohane	You know about them? Their music and vocals are really cool. Even their mascot's performances are great.
Toya	I hear the person in the costume is a really good solo singer as well.
Kohane	Really? I've never heard them sing before. What are they like?
Toya	You should ask Akito. He's a big fan of that group.

Kohane & Toya (2)
Toya	Hm? Is it just you?
Kohane	Oh, An said she had an errand to run for her dad, so she's going to be late.
Toya	I see. Akito said he got hung up at work as well.
Kohane	Is that so? I hope they both finish soon...
Toya	I'm sure they'd let us know if they couldn't make it. All we can do now is wait.

Kohane & Toya (3)
Kohane	...!
Toya	What are you looking at, Azusawa?
Kohane	The video that's playing over there. I think it's for a heavy metal concert. It just seemed really cool...!
Toya	Oh, the band and crowd are bobbing their heads in unison. Is that how you “headbang”...?
Kohane	Yeah! I've never sung any songs like that before, so I'm kind of wondering what it's like to headbang with everyone...
Kohane	I'd probably look really out of place doing it, but I have a feeling An would look really cool!
Toya	Yes, she certainly has the hair to do it.
Kohane	You think so too, Aoyagi? Hehe. Maybe I'll ask her the next chance I get.

An & Akito (1)
An	Hey, how do you usually go about choosing a record?
Akito	Oh, I usually buy them based on the cover.
Akito	The kind of music I like tends to have similar artwork.
An	Yikes, I actually get that...
Akito	Hey, you don't have to look so disgusted when you say that. I don't want to be like you, either.

An & Akito (2)
Akito	Oh, I've performed with this guy before. I didn't realize he'd debuted.
An	You sure know a lot of people.
Akito	You're one to talk.
Akito	You've got all kinds of connections, especially with all your dad's old friends.
An	I guess. I didn't meet any of them on my own, though, so they don't really count.

An & Toya (1)
An	Huh, this singer is blending classical music with rap.
An	You want to listen, Toya? I'd be curious to hear what someone who used to do classical music thinks of it.
Toya	Classical with rap? I admit, I'm a little curious myself.

An & Toya (2)
An	Hey, I found one of my dad's CDs! I didn't know they still sold them.
An	Hehe, I haven't heard this one in a while. I remember spending my allowance to get it.
Toya	You bought your own dad's music?
An	Haha. I listened to it all the time. I'd sing it a lot, too.
Toya	You don't anymore?
An	What?! N-No way! That would be way too embarrassing...

Akito & Toya (1)
Akito	You really like your CDs, don't you? It's so much easier to just listen to songs on your phone.
Toya	I do that as well, but all the recommendations start to skew towards the genres I listen to most.
Akito	Oh, that explains why you always listen to all the different music they have on display. I guess that's a good way to discover something you normally wouldn't.
Toya	Here, Akito.
Akito	You want me to listen? All right, I guess I'm not doing anything else today.

Akito & Nene (1)
Akito	Oh, you were there that day to see our show? Thank you very much. Yes, we're set to go with our next show...
Nene	(Oh, it's Shinonome. Is he talking to a show patron? He usually puts on his polite face for these sorts of situations.)
Akito	Hm? Oh, Kusanagi, it's you... I knew I sensed someone staring at me...
Nene	(Oh no, he found me...)
Akito	So, what's up?
Nene	N-Nothing... I was just looking for the soundtrack aisle and...
Akito	The soundtrack aisle? Oh, they moved it toward the back recently.
Nene	R-Really? I didn't know... Thank you...
Akito	Sure, you're welcome.
*Footsteps* *Footsteps*
Nene	(Huh? Is he nicer than I initially thought...?)

Akito & Ena (1)
Ena	That's not it, either. There weren't any people in the picture. It was also a sort of dark, monochrome shot.
Akito	Sigh... How about this one?
Ena	I just said it had a monochrome picture on the cover. Are you even taking this seriously?
Akito	Of course I'm not. You can't even remember the name of the artist. Who tries to find an album based on the cover art?
Ena	What else am I going to do? I only saw it for a second on TV late last night!
Ena	C'mon, hurry up and grab the next one.
Akito	Oh, for crying out loud. The least you could do is try to remember the first letter!

Tsukasa y Emu (1)
Tsukasa	Dijiste que necesitabas ayuda para encontrar cierta canción, así que vine... ¿Pero sabes lo que estás buscando?
Emu	Bueno, es música clásica que el abuelo usó para uno de sus shows hace mucho tiempo...
Emu	Empezó como... Dur-dun～～～♪ Du-dun～～～♪ Du-dun～～～♪
Tsukasa	La verdad no se me ocurre... ¿Sabes algo más sobre esta canción?
Emu	¡Claro, el resto va como...! Du-du-du-du~do♪ Du-du-du~do♪ Du-du-du~do♪
Tsukasa	¡¿Hm?! ¡He oído esa parte antes!
Tsukasa	Argh, ¡si Toya estuviera aquí! ¡Probablemente ya sabría cuál es! No, preguntarle es el último recurso...
Tsukasa	¡Emu, continúa! ¡Déjame escuchar el resto!
Emu	Okay☆ Cantaré a todo pulmón para ti♪

Emu & Nene (1)
Nene	(Oh, the event calendar's been updated. Looks like the stage group is putting on a new short play. Sounds interesting.)
Emu	Oh, there's a play next week! Hehe! This'll be fun, won't it?
Nene	Huh? Why would you assume I'm going? And even if I was, who says we'd go together?
Emu	Gonna see a play♪ See a play♪ Doo doo doo♪
Nene	She's not even listening...

Emu & Nene (2)
Emu	Hey! It's a poster for that musical we saw the other day♪
Nene	Oh, you're right. Let's see... “For home viewing. The bonus CD will include a full soundtrack.”
Nene	I've sort of been wanting to see it again, so I might just buy a copy.
Emu	And it includes songs by the lead actor! Hehe. I think it's time to break open my piggy bank.
Nene	You save money like the rest of us, Emu?
Emu	Yup♪ I want to save a lot and buy lots of treasure♪
Nene	Hold on, what do you mean?
Emu	My dad taught me that when I was little♪ Making money is hard work, but you'll treasure whatever you buy with what you earned!
Emu	Hehe. I want lots of treasure, and that's what I'm gonna spend my money on♪
Nene	He said that...? That's pretty cool of him. Your dad's such a good parent, Emu...
Emu	Yup! That's because he's really amazing♪

Emu & Nene (3)
Nene	Oh, I think this is the OST from that game I played not too long ago.
Emu	OST? Sounds like an abbreviation for original story time♪
Nene	It stands for official soundtrack. Think of it like a collection of all the music they record for a play.
Emu	Oh, neat! Do you listen to that sort of music a lot, Nene?
Nene	Sometimes. Listening to an OST always reminds me of the scenes where the music was playing.
Emu	That sounds nice! I wonder if we could make a soundtrack for our shows. Then when people listened to them, they could remember the show and smile all over again.

Kanade & Mafuyu (1)
Mafuyu	I listened to that artist everyone was talking about the other day, but I don't see what's so great. There's something off about the lyrics.
Kanade	Oh, you should watch the music videos. I think they'll change your mind.
Kanade	The lyrics alone don't explain everything. A lot of their songs are meant to be complemented by the videos.
Mafuyu	I see. That's an interesting way to make music. Thanks, I'll give them a try.
Kanade	Let me know when you have. I want to hear what you think.

Kanade & Mafuyu (2)
Kanade	Oh, I found it.
Mafuyu	Isn't that a drama soundtrack? I didn't know you listened to stuff like that.
Kanade	Yeah. It's really annoying that so many of these aren't available online.
Mafuyu	Hahaha. I can see that might be a problem for someone who doesn't get out to go shopping all that much...

Kanade & Ena (1)
Kanade	Ena, what are you thinking about when you do your makeup?
Ena	Huh? Well, I guess I'm usually thinking about my skin's condition and what will look good with that day's outfit.
Ena	Why do you ask?
Kanade	Just wondering. There's a line in the song I'm listening to that goes, My face is the canvas on which I paint my ideal self.

Kanade & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Whoa, it's Kanade! You're actually outside!
Kanade	There's a song I really wanted to listen to.
Mizuki	Oh? I figured you just downloaded all your music.
Kanade	I usually do, but there's something wrong with my connection today, and I couldn't wait.
Mizuki	Since you're out and about, let's go grab some tea!
Kanade	I don't know...
Mizuki	You should eat something other than instant noodles once in a while, too! C'mon♪

Mafuyu & Ena (1)
Ena	Hm... This doesn't help, either...
Mafuyu	Ena? What are you doing here?
Ena	Whoa! Mafuyu?! You surprised me. I didn't expect to run into anyone here.
Ena	I was looking at CD covers to see if I could get some inspiration for my illustrations.
Mafuyu	I see. Working hard, I see. Well, good luck then.
Ena	Huh? You're leaving just like that?! You were the one who came up to say hi! Hey, get back here, Mafuyu!

Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Oh, here it is! This is the limited first edition I was looking for!
Mafuyu	An anime theme song CD?
Mizuki	Yeah! It includes the opening and ending videos without the credits covering them up!
Mizuki	The production quality is so good that I wanted to be able to watch the unobstructed versions.
Mafuyu	You sure get excited about things you like, don't you?
Mizuki	I'm sure you'll get there one of these days, too. You've just got to start by finding something that makes you think, I like this!

Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	Oh, here it is! This artist feels a lot like OWN.
Mizuki	They're a mysterious rock band kinda like us. They rarely meet face to face.
Mafuyu	The picture on the cover is back lit so you can't see any of their faces. It's almost like they're not even looking at the camera.
Mizuki	I hear their band's concept is, Turning our backs on the light.
Mizuki	You should give them a listen!
Mafuyu	Okay. Thanks for the tip. I'll give them a try.

Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Hey, check this out! Isn't the cover art for this CD amazing?
Ena	Wait... Oh, it is. The person who drew this won a big award last year.
Mizuki	Cool! I felt like this one can draw you in even from pretty far away.
Ena	Is that because the colors are so vibrant? Or is it because of its design?
Mizuki	Huh? Uhh...
Ena	What caught your eye? I want to hear what you really think.
Mizuki	Okay, okay! Just give me a chance to answer...
Mizuki	(Ena really does love studying art, huh?)

Miku , Len & Luka (1)
Luka	Oh, it's the idol versions of Miku and Len. Hello...
Miku	Hi, Luka! What brings you here?
Luka	I saw this big screen showing videos of all these singers performing in shows and stopped to watch. We don't have anything like this in our SEKAI.
Len	Oh... Are you talking about shows and concerts?
Luka	No, we know about those. But we're not idols or anything, so these kinds of performances seem overly glamorous.
Luka	Also, we could conceivably practice dancing or singing whenever we're bored, but it seems like such a hassle...
Len	That may be so, but isn't that sort of a chance to make yourself heard?
Luka	Well, I won't deny that... However, I doubt it'll do much good in our SEKAI.
Miku	Oh, that's too bad... I was sure you'd look good dressed as an idol, Luka.
Luka	Is that so? What kind of outfit did you have in mind?
Len	Oh, if you're interested, we could take a look at one of those clothing stores. Wouldn't it be better to see for yourself?
Miku	Yeah, that sounds fun! What do you say, Luka?
Luka	Hmm... Maybe?
Luka	Hehe. I suppose it'd be rude of me to refuse after going through the trouble of inviting me.
Miku	Yay! Let's go, Len♪
Len	Okay. Follow me, you two.

Ichika, Saki & Honami (1)
Honami	Hm... I want to find some songs from a band with a drummer I like for inspiration, but I have no idea which bands might be good.
Ichika	You could ask Shiho if she has any recommendations. She should be here soon.
Saki	Yeah, but I feel like she'll just say something like, You've got to find something that sounds good to you.
Honami	Hehe. Your Shiho impressions are always spot on. I guess that's a good point, though. You need to find something like that for yourself.
Honami	All right, back to square one, then. I'll try to find someone with a sound I like.
Saki	Yeah! Make sure to ask us if you get stuck, though! We're friends, after all♪

Ichika, Saki & Shiho (1)
Shiho	Here we go. Is this the CD you were looking for, Saki?
Saki	Yeah, that's it! You're amazing, Shiho. All I did was show you the artist's name and you knew exactly where it was!
Ichika	It's like you know this place better than the employees. How often do you come here?
Shiho	I usually stop by to kill time before work. I just sort of remember where everything is.
Saki	That's crazy! So is there anything in particular you'd recommend?
Ichika	Oh, I'd be curious to know as well.
Shiho	If you're okay with a little bias when it comes to genre, then follow me.

Ichika, Saki & Shiho (2)
Saki	Hey, what do you think of using this as our next practice song?
Ichika	Oh, this is one of Miku's songs. I like it, but the guitar part sounds really tough.
Shiho	If you don't challenge yourself, you won't improve.
Saki	And even if it is hard, you'll be more motivated to learn a song if you actually like it!
Ichika	You make it sound as if this doesn't apply to you as well. Fine, let's give this one a try.
Shiho	Great. That's settled. We'll have to let Honami know.

Saki, Airi & Emu (1)
Saki	Oh! Airi, good morning!
Emu	Wonderhoy! Did you come to buy a CD too?
Airi	Yeah. Today's when the CD for this idol I've been following releases, so I'm here to buy a copy!
Saki	Whoa, I'm here to buy a CD for this band I like too!
Saki	I just happened to run into Emu along the way and we decided to take a look together.
Emu	I listened to some of the songs by the band Saki's talking about, and they were all really cool! Everything was so powerful and wonderhoy☆
Airi	Hehe. Powerful and wonderhoy, huh? Now you've got me curious. Mind showing me which band?
Saki	Oh, this one! You can sample some of their music over there!
Airi	Thanks. I think I will give them a listen. In return, I'll show you two that idol I was talking about just now.
Emu	Yay! We get to exchange likes! I can't wait to see what you recommend us, Airi!

Shiho, An & Ena (1)
Ena	Oh...
Shiho	Hello, Shinonome.
An	Are you here to buy a CD too, Ena?
Ena	I am, yes. There's a poster for it over there. This illustrator I like worked on the cover art and music video, so I thought I'd buy it for reference.
An	I see! Actually, we were just talking about that poster. It really grabbed our attention.
Shiho	Our plan was to recommend our favorites to each other, but in the end we both decided to buy that CD.
An	Oh! If you don't mind, I'd love for you to tell us about the illustrator.
Shiho	So would I. I was really impressed by the poster and the cover art, and I'm interested to get an artist's perspective.
Ena	I'm not a professional, so I don't think I can tell you anything that worthwhile... But if you're okay with that, I'll share some thoughts.
An	Yay! Please fire away!

Minori, Haruka & Airi (1)
Minori	Haruka! Airi! Look at the cover of this album! Isn't it the coolest?!
Haruka	It sure is. It almost doesn't feel like an idol group's CD.
Airi	Yeah. It's not often you see one without a picture of the members on the front.
Airi	I wonder if they did it like that to appeal to people who don't really care for idol groups.
Minori	That would make sense. Won't a lot of fans be disappointed about not getting a picture of their favorite idols in costume, though?
Airi	I doubt that's a problem. A lot of groups that do this release two versions with different cover art.
Minori	Oh! Let's see if we can find the other one, then. I wonder what it looks like.
Haruka	(Hehe. These two sure are enthusiastic about this sort of thing. I guess they are fans, after all.)

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (1)
Shizuku	Oh? This looks like idol merchandise. I wonder what it is. It seems to be a case for something long and thin.
Minori	That's a silver tape holder! You use them to save the streamers that get shot out during concerts.
Haruka	Now that you mention it, I remember signing some of those streamers in the past.
Shizuku	You mean there are fans who pick them up and save them?
Minori	Yep! Those streamers are a great way to remember all the concerts you've been to!

Minori, Haruka & Shizuku (2)
Minori	Oh, they have a concert merchandise section!
Haruka	You're right. I see some towels and a whole lot of hand fans. Everyone always brings stuff like this to shows.
Shizuku	Yes. There were quite a few people who would bring their own home-made fans as well.
Minori	That's because hand fans are the perfect way to express your feelings! You use all your fan knowledge when making them.
Minori	I remember making a bunch of different fans for Haruka.
Haruka	What? For me?
Shizuku	Hehe. I'd be curious to see what sort of fans you made.

Minori, Airi & Shizuku (1)
Minori	Let's see... Oh, here she is! This is the store's number one recommended new idol!
Shizuku	Hm? She seems familiar...
Airi	That's one of the girls who auditioned with us. I think she was cut just before the final screening.
Airi	She managed to hold her composure in front of the judges, but she broke down in tears as soon as we made it back to the changing room.
Shizuku	Oh, that's right. I remember her now.
Minori	So in other words, she managed to overcome her despair and achieve her dreams!
Airi	You're right. That takes a lot of spirit. She may be our rival one day.

Kohane, An & Akito (1)
Kohane	Look, An. It's one of your dad's CDs! It's even got that song you sang for me the other day!
Akito	You sang one of Ken's songs?
Kohane	Yeah! I got to hear her do the original, then a cover she arranged herself! It was really fun.
Akito	Huh. What did Ken think?
An	I wasn't about to sing it in front of him.
Akito	Oh. Well that's boring.
An	What about you, then? Would you sing one of my dad's songs in front of him?
Akito	No way.
An	That's what I thought.

Kohane, An & Akito (2)
Akito	I thought there were more people here than usual. Looks like some new idol is doing a mini concert.
Kohane	Wow, her singing is really good!
An	I wonder if Haruka sang in places like this when she was first getting started.
Kohane	What's that, An?
An	Oh, I have a friend who used to be an idol. I was just thinking how tough that must have been.
Akito	(That reminds me. Ena's friend from middle school became an idol, too.)
Akito	(I heard she already quit, though. I wonder what she's doing these days.)

Kohane, An & Akito (3)
Akito	This place always has a section dedicated just to music featuring Miku.
Kohane	Oh, that section with all the really cute Miku posters?
Kohane	I think they change up the featured creators every week.
An	Really? But there are so many of them!
An	If they tried to feature them all, it'd never end.
Akito	I guess that explains why that one section is always nothing but Miku stuff.

Kohane, An & Toya (1)
An	Check it out, Kohane. The guy who composes the songs for this musician is a regular at Weekend Garage. You remember the guy who's always sitting at the counter?
Kohane	Oh! You mean the one always wearing sunglasses?
An	Yeah, that's the one! Weren't you talking to him the other day, Toya?
Toya	Yeah. He actually approached me. Apparently he's heard of BAD DOGS.
Toya	We had a really interesting discussion. I learned a bit about a genre I don't usually listen to and got to ask some questions about composing songs.
An	That sort of thing is exactly the reason my dad started the restaurant in the first place. He looked really happy watching you two chat.
Kohane	That sounds nice. Maybe I should try talking with someone next time I'm there.

Kohane, An & Toya (2)
Toya	This CD display looks so...busy.
An	Yeah, look at all that tiny text. It's got way more than the others.
An	Let's see... Hehe, what is this? It's like they wrote down everything that came to mind as they were listening!
Kohane	It really gives you the feeling they liked it so much that they couldn't help but write down how it made them feel.
Toya	I agree. It's not a genre I usually listen to, but even I'm a little curious now.
An	Oh, you're gonna buy it? Well if you're getting that, then maybe I'll pick up a copy of this other artist's CD.

Kohane, Akito & Toya (1)
Kohane	Let's see... Oh, there it is!
Akito	I was wondering what you were looking for. Electronic dance music, huh?
Kohane	Yeah. An told me about a bunch of really good songs, so I wanted to check some out.
Kohane	If you guys have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!
Toya	I still have a list of songs Akito gave me a while back.
Akito	You mean the one I gave you before we formed BAD DOGS? How do you still have that?
Toya	I'm pretty good at holding onto things that are important. Would you like me to bring it next time, Azusawa?
Kohane	Are you sure you want to give me something that special? Thanks, Aoyagi!

Tsukasa, Emu y Nene (1)
Emu	¿Cuántas veces crees que han hecho ese musical de los gatos? ¿De verdad es tan bueno?
Tsukasa	¡¿Cómo puedes preguntar eso?! ¡Es una sensación mundial, sabes! ¡Todo el mundo debería verlo al menos una vez!
Nene	Sí. Creo que realmente te gustaría, Emu. Verla te hace sentir como si te estuvieras convirtiendo en un gato.
Emu	¡¿Qué?! ¡¿Están de acuerdo en algo?! Bueno, si ambos lo dicen, entonces supongo que tengo que verlo.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	The CD I'm looking for should be somewhere on this shelf.
Kanade	Why don't you just buy it online instead of coming all the way to the store?
Mizuki	Because I want something I can hold in my hands. Besides, if I buy it here, it comes with a bonus♪
Mafuyu	Mizuki, that makes you sound really materialistic. Here, is this it?
Mizuki	Yeah, that's it! Thanks, Mafuyu!
Mizuki	Hahaha. I just love the feeling of finally finding something you've been searching for. I always want more cute clothes too, so I guess I am a little materialistic, huh?
Kanade	That's nice and all, but look at the time.
Mizuki	Oh, you're right. Ena's probably waiting for us with that scary look she always gets. We should hurry to the diner.

Kanade, Mafuyu & Mizuki (2)
Mizuki	The list of songs we've released as N25 is getting pretty long. I bet we could even put out an album or two.
Mafuyu	I can't imagine seeing a CD of our own sitting here with all the others.
Kanade	It's hard for me to imagine too. I've never really thought about it, but...
Kanade	If we made a CD, I bet our music would reach even more people.
Mafuyu	Kanade, you don't just want to write music. You want it to save people, right?
Kanade	Yeah. I plan on continuing to write songs that will make people happy.
Kanade	That's the promise I made to my dad.
Mizuki	Putting the talk of CDs aside...
Mizuki	I hope the songs you write reach the people who need them.

Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mafuyu	What was the name of that artist Kanade told me about the other day...?
Mizuki	Huh? Oh, it's Mafuyu! Hey there!
Mafuyu	Mizuki. Ena. Are you here to look at CDs, too?
Ena	Mizuki's the one who dragged me here. I was on my way home from buying a new paintbrush when we bumped into each other.
Mafuyu	I see. Hey, do either of you remember the name of the artist Kanade was talking about the other day?
Ena	Oh, who was it again? I feel like it's someone I've been hearing more and more about lately.
Mizuki	I feel like it started with an A. Here, we'll help you look for them!

Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (1)
Kanade	Okay, this should be where we're supposed to meet... Oh...
Shizuku	You must be the last one. I'm Shizuku Hinomori of YUME YUME JUMP! It's nice to meet you.
Shizuku	And the adorable girl next to me is my younger sister...
Shiho	Hi, I'm Shiho Hinomori. I'm only going to be in YUME YUME JUMP! temporarily, but it's nice to meet you.
An	I'm also a temporary member. The name's An Shiraishi! Nice to meet you!
Kanade	U-Um... Right... My name is Kanade Yoisaki... I was supposed to be the songwriter...
Shizuku	But I already received word from our manager. You decided to go from composing songs to save people to going on stage to singing them yourself, yes?
Kanade	No, that's not what happened... They were so pushy and kept saying, “This is definitely the better option!”
Shiho	Oh, that happened to you too?
An	Same here. For me, it was, “Please, even if it's only temporary!”
Shiho	I really don't think I'm cut out to be an idol... But I thought it'd be a nice opportunity to work as a professional musician.
An	Totally. It's not every day that you get a chance like this, and life's about taking on these kinds of challenges, right?
An	Also, this may be just temporary, but try to relax since we're not gonna make you do anything without practicing it first!
Kanade	O-Okay...
Kanade	(I'm really only here because my manager asked me to join them...)
Kanade	(But they're so bright and upbeat about this... This might be the inspiration I need to compose my next song.)
Shizuku	Hehe. Let's start by doing everything we can in preparation for our release event♪
Shiho & An & Kanade	“Yeah!” “Okay.”

Shiho, Shizuku, An & Kanade (2)
An	This is it! Our release event!
Shiho	Yeah. We've put in the work, so we just need to sing like we mean it during the show.
Shizuku	Yes, exactly! I know it wasn't easy getting used to everything, Kanade, but I'm glad you persevered.
Kanade	To be fair, I'm still limited to dancing to just one song... And I was only able to get this far because you were all there to help me along the way.
Kanade	My song... No, I hope our song is able to reach our audience's hearts.
Shizuku	Don't worry. I'm sure it will.
Shizuku	Also, about our group name, YUME YUME JUMP! Has our manager told you why we're called that?
An	Why?
Shizuku	Hehe. It has to do with you and An having such big dreams, Shii, and the archaic definition of “yume yume” in Japanese.
Shiho	“Yume yume”...? Doesn't that mean “to never do anything or something?
Shizuku	Yes. It's normally used in a negative light, but it's actually written by combining the characters from “hard work” and “effort”...
Shizuku	But “yume” also means “dream”, so YUME YUME JUMP! symbolizes everyone's expectations of us and how “we're working hard to make our dreams come true”.
An	Working hard to make our dreams come true, huh...?
Shizuku	Hehe. I can't honestly see myself being an idol capable of accomplishing incredible feats.
Shizuku	But I believe we'll be able to touch everyone's hearts and become wonderful idols as long as we work together.
Kanade	Yes, I'd like that as well...
Shizuku	Oh, look at the time... Let's go show our audience what we're all about.
An & Shiho & Kanade	“Yeah!”

Kohane, An, Akito & Toya (1)
Akito	Huh, look at that. The stage at the back's been revamped.
Kohane	There's a stage there?
Toya	Yes, it's used for small scale performances by various artists.
Kohane	Wow, I had no idea!
An	It's a tiny venue, so there's no room for much of an audience, but I heard the gigs there really go off.
Kohane	Hmm... I'd like to see what it's like.
An	Let's see... Oh, it looks like there's a gig on there this weekend. Some sort of album release celebration for an idol group.
Akito	I'll pass.
Toya	Same.
An	Your choice. How about you, Kohane? Want to check it out with me?
Kohane	Yeah! Thanks, An.

Tsukasa, Emu, Nene y Rui (1)
Tsukasa	Ah, ¡aquí está! ¡"Los mejores actores"!
Rui	Veamos. "Un álbum compuesto por canciones de musicales protagonizados por actores de renombre, entre ellos Seiichi Amami"...
Nene	Oh, ese lo tengo. Ya han publicado como tres volúmenes de la serie, ¿verdad?
Emu	¡Guau! ¿Han sacado tres de estos? ¿Cuál recomiendas, Tsukasa?
Tsukasa	¡El tercero! ¡Incluye canciones del espectáculo en el que participó el Sr. Amami cuando actuó en el extranjero por primera vez! ¡Lloro cada vez que lo escucho!
Emu	¡Bien! Volumen tres... Volumen tres... ¿Eh...?
Nene	No lo veo...
Rui	Yo tampoco...
Tsukasa	¡¿Qué?! Espera, ¡ni siquiera tienen el segundo aquí! ¡Deberían tener al menos cien copias de cada uno en stock!
Nene	Para ser justos, comparado con los otros CDs que tienen aquí, estos están destinados a un público bastante especializado...
Rui	No, existe la posibilidad de que se les hayan acabado ya que acaba de actuar aquí el otro día...
Tsukasa	Grr... Que así sea. Entonces, Emu, Rui, ¡les prestaré mis CDs! ¡Escúchenlos todo lo que quieran!
Emu	¡Genial! No puedo esperar☆

Kanade, Mafuyu, Ena & Mizuki (1)
Mizuki	Who would've though that we'd all visit a CD shop together like this?
Mizuki	Oh, but wasn't this how Ena and I met you, Mafuyu, when we were out shopping?
Mafuyu	I came here to look for a CD by that artist Kanade was talking about.
Ena	I remember that... Gasp...!
Ena	You recommended that one artist and got me their CD to return a favor! I was really into them then and I still listen to their stuff even now!
Mafuyu	Really?
Mizuki	Hm? Hold on. I don't remember anything like that happening...
Ena	Of course you wouldn't. You were too busy deciding which bonus item to get and made the rest of us wait behind you.
Mafuyu	Yes. That took a very long time.
Mizuki	Oh, right... Yeah, sorry about that.
Kanade	I'd like to hear which artists Mafuyu recommends...
Mafuyu	They had their own section the last time I was here. Should we go see?
Kanade	Yes, please show us.
