Let Me Hear That Song

Side Story 1


Ichika's Room
Ichika: *Sigh*
Ichika: Oh, I must've left without turning the program off... I'm back, Miku...
Ichika: ...


Ichika: ♪————!
Live House Audience: What do you think...?
Live House Audience: Hmm... I'm not really feeling it.
Ichika: Our first show sort of went the same way, but no one responding positively was definitely something new...
Ichika: (Not only that...)


Saki: What did you think of our songs, Saku...?
Saku: I thought they were cute.
Saki: *Gasp* You did?!
Saku: But they didn't really strike a chord with me...
Ichika: A song that resonates with people...
Ichika: (Maybe that crowd would've responded better if I'd chosen more relatable language for the lyrics.)
Ichika: (No that wasn't the only issue. I wish I could've helped Saki more with the music...)
Ichika: ...
Miku: ——♪ ——♪
Ichika: (I was so happy when you sang for the very first time...)
Ichika: I'm sorry that I can't produce better music for you.


Ichika: Hm...?
Ichika: (When did I fall asleep...? What time is it...?)
Ichika: Oh, a message from Shiho...
Shiho: <I'd like for us to do a debrief tomorrow concerning today's show.>
Shiho: <Please think of areas where we need improvement, what we can do moving forward and such.>
Ichika: Areas where we need improvement... Oh...
Honami: <Thank you, Shiho. I'll make sure to think of some things.>
Ichika: Honami's already replied. I should do the same.
Ichika: <Sorry about the late reply. I'll think on this as well.>
Shiho's Stamp: <OK!>
Honami's Stamp: <Let's do our best!>
Ichika: Hang on... Saki hasn't responded yet...
Ichika: (She's usually the first to respond to these kinds of messages too.)
Ichika: (She might be feeling really down because of what happened during the show and what Saku said...)
Saki: <Sorry! I was doing a solo debrief and totally lost track of the time!>
Ichika: Oh, it's Saki...!
Shiho: <A solo debrief?>
Saki: <It's just like how it sounds! I was doing a debrief all on my own!>
Saki: <Like why we couldn't reach the crowd and stuff.>
Honami: <Right. If don't find the answer to that, we'll just end up in the same situation...>
Saki: <Yeah, exactly!>
Saki: <But nothing's made me go, "Eureka!" yet, so I'm gonna keep trying to come up with ideas!>
Ichika: ...
Ichika: (I was worried that Saki would've been hit the hardest by what happened today...)
Ichika: But she's so strong.
Ichika: I should also try coming up with some ideas. I need to think about what went wrong and what could've gone better.
Ichika: Alright...
Ichika: <Thanks, Saki.>
Saki: <Huh? Did I do something worth being thanked for?>
Ichika: <That's a secret.>

Side Story 2


Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy - Class 1-C
Saki: Morning!
Ichika: Good morning, Saki.
Ichika: I know you just got here, but I came up with some lyrics for that song you wrote. Mind taking a look at them for me?
Saki: Really? Awesome!
Ichika: So, here's what I have...
Ichika: Wh-What do you think...?
Saki: Yeah, it fits perfectly with that song! Nice work, Ichi!
Ichika: Thanks... But I have a feeling that it's still missing some pieces.
Saki: Right... It's hard for me to describe... I can't quite put my finger on it...
Ichika: I had a feeling...
Ichika: (This song is all about what Saki experienced personally.)
Ichika: (But I'm only aware of a small portion of that. Which is why my lyrics aren't really reaching Saki's heart...)
Ichika: Um, Saki? Did you write any notes when you were writing that song? I'd like to use them as reference if you did...
Saki: Yeah, I did! Just gimme a sec...
Saki: Here it is! This is the notebook I use when writing songs!
Ichika: Mind if I look at it now...?
Saki: Yeah, go for it!
Ichika: Thanks.
Saki: Oh, hang on... Reading it may not be very fun... It's a place where I literally write down whatever comes to mind.
Ichika: ("It hurts..." "I hate this so much!")
Ichika: ("Why me?" "I don't wanna do more tests...")
Ichika: ("I don't want tomorrow to come"...)
Ichika: (Saki...)


Ichika: (Being stuck in the hospital must've been worse than I realized... And yet, she always tried to smile to make sure none of us became worried...)
Saki: I-Ichi...?
Saki: You don't have to keep going if you don't want to. I know it's not exactly what you call a pleasant read...
Ichika: No, I'm okay.
Ichika: Saki... There's one more thing I'd like to ask of you.
Saki: S-Sure, what's up?
Ichika: If it's okay with you, would you mind telling me what you thought about as you wrote this song?
Ichika: About the pain you felt, all those awful tests, how it felt being stuck in that hospital room... Everything.
Saki: What...?
Saki: B-But hearing it's probably not gonna do you any favors. I mean, it'll feel like you're sinking into a really dark place...
Ichika: I'm fine with that. If anything, I'm prepared to feel what you did.
Ichika: I want a better understanding of that loneliness you felt, Saki...
Ichika: I want to feel the pain you expressed in that song... I want to know what it's really about...
Saki: Oh...
Ichika: That's why I want you to tell me about everything you felt.
Saki: Ichi...
Saki: Okay, I will...
Saki: I'll tell you everything about what I felt while writing this song.
Ichika: ...! Thank you, Saki!
Saki: No, I should be the one thanking you...
Saki: So, Ichi, thanks. I really appreciate how you're trying to get a better understanding of me.
Ichika: It's only natural...
Ichika: I promise to write lyrics that do this song justice and really hit home with you.
Saki: Awesome...!
