Sakiko

What's this place...?

Soyo

It's karaoke~ Could it be that it's your first time?

Sakiko

I've heard talk of it for some time now...

Mutsumi

I have one in my house.

Soyo

Really? That's amazing! Do famous people come to your house?

Mutsumi

...

Taki

Hey, can we hurry up and talk to the receptionist?

Soyo

Oh, good point. Excuse me~

Sakiko

Does this machine have a variety of beverages?

Taki

Drink bar. You can take whatever you like with you.

Sakiko

Taki-san, you know a lot about this.

Taki

Not really...

Tomori

(This button...?)

Sakiko

The beverages came out! Mutsumi, did you see that!?

Mutsumi

Yeah.

Sakiko

Tomori, how did you make it come out!?

Tomori

Um... I pushed that...

Sakiko

Here? Oh? It didn't come out...

Taki

What are you doing...? That's not the right spot.

Soyo

Please don't play with that. Come on, let's go to the room.

Sakiko

Karaoke is so wonderfully fun!

Soyo

We haven't even sung yet. Oh, the song is starting.

Taki

Hey... Why are you just trying to sing like normal?

Soyo

What?

Sakiko

Oh, that's right! It's this singing practice for Tomori?

Soyo

But if we told her to sing right away, she'd get nervous. Right, Tomori-chan?

Tomori

Yeah...

Soyo

So, all of you pick songs, too.

Taki

I'd rather not.

Soyo

That's not allowed♪

Sakiko

In that case, I'll do one of Morfonica's songs!

Soyo

Since they haven't officially debuted, it probably isn't in there...

Sakiko

Is that so...

Soyo

The song has already started, Taki-chan, are you going to sing? We can try playing the video.

Taki

...I prefer singing karaoke alone. Sakiko, why don't you sing?

Sakiko

Me-Me!? Tomori... will you sing?

Tomori

I-I don't know this song...

Mutsumi

Even though~♪

Tomori・Soyo・Taki

What...?

Taki

She's singing...

Sakiko

Oh my! You're so good, Mutsumi!

Tomori

Dazzling

Soyo

Come on. Taki-chan, you put in a song, too.

Taki

I said I'm fine. Tomori. Here. If you do a search, songs will pop up.

Tomori

Kind

Tomori

Songs... pop up...

Sakiko

Taki-san, will you teach me as well?

Taki

Huh...?

Soyo

Taki-chan, you can do it~♪

Tomori

Beautiful

Sakiko

Your singing was wonderful, Tomori!

Soyo

Feeling a little less nervous now?

Taki

...Better than at the studio.

Mutsumi

That's good.

Soyo

Oh, next one's mine~♪

Sakiko

Now it's Soyo's turn! You can do this~!

Taki

The song hasn't started yet.

Mutsumi

Buh...! Hehehe...!

Taki

She laughed...

Soyo

Mutsumi-chan is laughing~

Sakiko

Mutsumi does laugh, you know.

Tomori

Hehe...

Tomori

Warm

Tomori

Um... How is it?

Sakiko

So these are the new lyrics Tomori wrote...

Soyo

The title is ''Haruhikage''?

Tomori

Yeah...

Sakiko

I understand. This is...

Sakiko

......

Tomori

Eh...

Mutsumi

Saki.

Taki

Are you crying...?

Sakiko

My apologies... Tomori's feelings... everything she wanted to express... It reached me clearly.

Sakiko

"Haruhikage" is... our song, isn't it?

Soyo

I want to hurry up and play it.

Mutsumi

Yes.

Taki

Make it a good song.

Sakiko

Of course. I will write music worthy of Tomori's lyrics.

Tomori

... How was it...?

Sakiko

You sounded wonderful just now!

Soyo

''Haruhikage'' is really coming together~ At this rate, think we can pull it off live too?

Taki

Alright, next is the real deal. We need to shoot the entry video.

Tomori

We are taking it already?

Soyo

Otherwise we'll miss the sign-up deadline for the next live~ Oh, have we decided on a band name yet?

Taki

Anything is fine as long as it's not weird.

Soyo

Come on~ put some thought into it.

Sakiko

Ahem... How about "CRYCHIC"?

Mutsumi

Classic?

Sakiko

No, it's "CRYCHIC."

Sakiko

"Cry" means to call out... and "chic" means elegance and refinement...

Tomori

Ah...

Tomori

Screams... from the heart...

Sakiko

It makes me want to call out, "Please listen to our music!"

Sakiko

Is everyone ready?

Soyo

Wait a second, I need to adjust the camera position. Ah, Mutsumi-chan, you're going to be out of frame~

Sakiko

Mutsumi, you have to be a little more to your left. You need to act like you're going to be in the center.

Mutsumi

Yeah...

Soyo

How about you, Taki-chan? Adjusting the drums?

Taki

Nah, finished already. Ready to go.

Soyo

I see, then... Tomori-chan?

Tomori

......

Taki

Are you okay?

Sakiko

You don't have to try to sing really well. You just have to get your feelings across.

Soyo

Besides, if you make a mistake, we can just re-record it, so you don't need to be nervous~

Taki

I can only go all-out once.

Soyo

Geez, Taki-chan! You got this, Tomori-chan!

Tomori

Yeah...

Tomori

We're CRYCHIC. We're going to play "Haruhikage."

Tomori

Haa... Haa...

Sakiko

Tomori... Tomori! Are you all right!?

Tomori

I...

Taki

Tomori...! Seriously, you... wahhh...

Tomori

What...?

Soyo

It's amazing... CRYCHIC is amazing...!

Sakiko

There are no words, are there...? I never imagined it would become such a wonderful live show...

Tomori

The performance... Did I sing everything...? I got so lost in it, I don't remember...

Taki

Huh!?

Soyo

You're kidding... you were that focused?

Taki

What are you talking about? You were awesome!

Sakiko

Yes... Thank you, Tomori...!

Sakiko

You turned this special day of ours... CRYCHIC's first live... into a great success.

Mutsumi

...Everyone, we made it...

Sakiko

We absolutely must perform together again!

Yeah!

Sakiko

Tomori... that is a wonderful look on your face!

Soyo

Hey, everyone, check social media! They're saying that Tomori-chan's song really moved them!

Taki

What? Are there comments on today's live show already? I'm gonna look.

Soyo

There are a lot of reactions using our hashtag, too. They're writing so much~ Look, Tomori-chan!

Tomori

It's true...

Sakiko

Wow...! There are so many comments...

Soyo

"I was super moved"... "#CRYCHIC Looking forward to next time!"... "I can't stop crying..." That's what they're saying!

Soyo

And... Ah...

Taki

...? What's wrong?

Tomori

"The vocalist was trying too hard..."

Taki

Huh? What's with this reaction!? They don't understand anything about Tomori's songs! I'm blocking them.

Soyo

Taki-chan, it's better to mute than to block.

Soyo

Besides, look—pretty much everyone else is complimenting you...

Sakiko

Ah...

Tomori

Saki-chan...?

Sakiko

......

Tomori

...?

Tomori

I think something was off again.

Tomori

Maybe my singing just wasn't enough. ...Saki-chan probably felt it too...

Sakiko

I came today because I have something to say.

Sakiko

I am quitting CRYCHIC.

Tomori

(I guess I was the one who was out of place.)

Tomori

I'm the only one who can't cry.

Tomori

Is it because I'm just cold? Am I missing something... as a person?

Tomori

I don't have anything that's precious to me like everyone else does.

Tomori

I want something like everyone else has, something so precious it makes me cry.

Tomori

If I did have something... it was...

Tomori

CRYCHIC.
