[Chihaya (thought)] ...I don't know why, but today I'm feeling more cheerful than usual.

[Chihaya (thought)] I wonder how long it's been since I've felt this way?

[Staff] We're going to start by playing through the whole thing, so first try singing it however way you'd like.
[Chihaya] Okay.

[Staff] Now then, please begin.

[Producer] ...

--- Page 7

[Staff] Okay!

[Producer] Thanks for your hard work.



--- Page 8

[Producer] Today's recording

[Producer] was really good.

[Chihaya] Thank you.



--- Page 9

[Producer] Haha.
[Producer] Saying it again like this is kind of embarrassing.

[Chihaya] Hot...!
[Producer] A-Are you okay!?

[Chihaya] Y-Yes, I'm alright.

[Producer] Chihaya, it's rare seeing you like this.
[Producer (floating)] haha

[Chihaya] R-Really?



--- Page 10

[Producer] You've been more tense recently.

[Chihaya] .....

[Chihaya] For several days...

[Chihaya] I caused problems for a lot of people...for Haruka, and for everyone else...
[Chihaya] So I have to work hard and make up for it, even if just a little.



--- Page 11

[Producer] You don't need to think about those kinds of things.

[Producer] Fixing things like that is my job.
[Producer] As for you, Chihaya...

[Producer] Right now, you should concentrate on your work with all of your strength.

[Producer] Just like you did today.



--- Page 12

[Chihaya] ...understood!

[Producer] By the way,

[Producer] Chihaya, I was asked to give you a message.
[Chihaya] A message?



--- Page 13

[Touma] At any rate, I've apologized, alright?
[Producer] Yeah.  I understand.

[Touma] And tell Kisaragi Chihaya I said this:

[Touma] "I had no complaints about your performance today."
[Touma] Got it?

[Shouta] Can't you be honest and say it was the best?
[Hokuto] He's a sore loser, as usual.
[Touma] Shut up!



--- Page 14

[Chihaya] Amagase Touma of Jupiter said that...?

[Producer] Yeah.

[Producer] There's been a huge uproar around them because they quit 961 Pro, but...

[Producer] Before long, they'll probably come back stronger than ever.
[Producer] That's what I think too.



--- Page 15

[Producer] So let's become stronger as well, so that we won't lose to them when that time comes.

[Chihaya] Yes!

[Reporter] Ah, there you are.

[Reporter] You got a minute?  I have something I want to discuss.
[Producer] With...me?
[Chihaya] ?

[Sign (below Takagi's bubble)] President's Office

[Takagi] I've heard the story about the solo album, but...
[Producer] Yes...to be honest, I was surprised by it.

[Takagi] Have you already talked about this with the person in question?
[Producer] No, not yet...

[Producer] I can't believe they want her to do a recording in New York...
