Eternal Harmony E05
I'll resign

Producer

(..Hm?  There's a letter on my desk...  "I want to talk to you.  Can we meet after work?  -Chihaya."  ...Chihaya?  I wonder what's going on?)

Producer

Chihaya!  Sorry for being late, the meeting dragged on for longer than I thought it would.  Did I make you wait long?

Chihaya

It's fine...  I brought some books.  Sorry for calling you out here all of a sudden.

Producer

Don't worry, you can talk to me about anything, that'll be better for us all.  ...Well, what's on your mind?

Chihaya

Yes...  Actually, I wish to resign from being the leader of Eternal Harmony.

Producer

I see...  Hm, What!?  *cough cough* ...W..why..all of sudden...?  Are you serious, Chihaya...

Chihya

...I am.  I did think this through.  For example, I think that Julia is more fit to be the leader.  It'll be better for the unit...please switch our positions.

Choice

Why
No, I won't allow it

>Why

Producer

What made you think that?  Can you tell me your reason?

Should this be instead be present tense?  "What makes you think that?"  vis a vis "made."  In addition, is reason singular or plural reasons?

Chihaya

...When I reviewed the memo from that street live, I realized it.

Chihaya

Julia's singing voice has a powerful rock impact.  Emily's singing voice is pretty like a blooming flower...

Chihaya

Fuuka-san's singing voice is like a clear blue sky.  Tokugawa-san's singing voice is as sweet as a colorful candy.

Chihaya

Everyone has their own wonderful "soul of the song".  Our unit has a lot of potential, that's what I feel.

Chihaya

And...when everyone begins to perform, the passersby smile.  It's proof that their voices can make people happy.  But...

Chihaya

When my solo started..., the passersby just stare at me. The song that could make people smile and bring them happiness; I couldn't sing it like everyone else!

Chihaya

There's no way someone like me should continue being the leader............  So, I'll resign.

Producer

I see...  Chihaya, you misunderstand.  You look like you always observe everything around you, but that's not true... ▽

Chihaya

....Eh?

Producer

I don't think I could persuade you by words.  I'll have to borrow everyone's help then.

Chihaya

...Yes, please change the leader as soon as you can...

Producer

No, that's not what I mean.  Let me say this much, there's no way you don't have what it takes to be a leader.  I can guarantee it.

Chihaya

...But, from the results of the street live, it's clear that my skill is lacking.

Produceer

Lacking...  Huh.  If we talk about bringing smiles to people by singing then you might be right...  But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Chihaya

Producer, I don't understand.  What is my "song of the soul"...?  Why can't I make everyone smile?  I want to sing a song that brings people happiness too.

Producer

I see..  "Song that makes people happy."  So that's what you decided for yourself to be the most important thing...  You're really great, Chihaya.

Chihya

...I don't think I'm anywhere near great.

Producer

Anyway, you should relax more...  Hey!  How about going to a local summer festival next week and refreshing yourself?

Producer

And of course everyone from "Eternal Harmony," will go too.  Let's talk about changing the leader after that, Okay?

Chihaya

I don't want to prolong it, but if it's next week then...  Understood.

Producer

Alright, it's decided then.  Have fun at the festival.

Producer

(Chihaya is really worried right now...  I want to help her...alright!)

>No, I won't allow it

Producer

It'll confuse everyone if we change leader right now.  So no!

Chihaya

...But that's exactly why, with Platinum Star Live coming closer now, it won't be good if I continue to be the leader.

Chihaya

I realized it at that street live.  I don't have the "song of the soul" that could make people happy...  having that kind of human as a leader will only hold everyone back.

Chihaya

Julia could lead everyone better than me.  Maybe even Fuuka-san...  Those two have in them what I don't.
