**[00:21] Death Rattle**
How is it?
**[00:25] Hikki NEET**
I think it's great.
**[00:28] Death Rattle**
Thank you.
**[00:30] Purple**
It's strange, though.
**[00:31] Purple**
It was just a four-bar idea
that she'd hummed in the bath.
**[00:34] Purple**
She turned it into eight with Kyo's advice.
**[00:37] Death Rattle**
We changed up the mood a little
and turned it into eight more.
**[00:43] Hamu**
We combined those two into
an eighteen bar melody.
**[00:48] Purple**
You mean sixteen.
**[00:53] Hikki NEET**
That should do it for the melody.
**[00:55] Hikki NEET**
Let's try coming up with a chord progression.
**[00:59] Hamu**
A chord progression?
**[01:01] Hikki NEET**
I guess you haven't thought about
it much since you're a drummer.
**[01:05] Death Rattle**
Chords? You mean with the Cs and Ds?
**[01:08] Hikki NEET**
Yeah.
**[01:09] Hikki NEET**
I probably don't have to explain to
you, but for example, this is a C.
**[01:17] Hikki NEET**
This is a D.
**[01:20] Hikki NEET**
And this one's a bit harder: an F.
**[01:26] Hikki NEET**
So we have to put these things on
top of the melody Jun came up with.
**[01:32] Death Rattle**
It sounds complicated.
**[01:36] Hikki NEET**
There are a few cliches that
you have to be aware of.
**[01:40] Hikki NEET**
It is a bit of a pain.
**[01:43] Hikki NEET**
But you don't have to let it bog you down.
**[01:46] Hikki NEET**
Just try each one, and plug in
whatever sounds good to you.
**[01:51] Death Rattle**
O-Okay.
**[01:53] Death Rattle**
I don't know if I'll do a good
job, but I'll do my best.
**[02:02] That Priest**
Huh? Jun's composing?
**[02:05] That Priest**
So that's why I heard her
plucking at the guitar.
**[02:10] Curls**
She asked me if I have anything she
can used to record her humming.
**[02:14] Curls**
I turned my closet upside
down looking for one.
**[02:17] That Priest**
Yeah, huh?
**[02:18] That Priest**
Jun a composer, huh?
**[02:20] Curls**
It's *Jun's* research project.
**[02:23] Curls**
Don't get too involved.
**[02:30] That Priest**
Come on.
**[02:31] That Priest**
You could have told me. They used to
call me the One-Man Glimmer Twins.
**[02:40] Death Rattle**
I think G sounds good.
**[02:41] Purple**
This one's definitely a G.
**[02:43] Purple**
Want to try some other ones?
**[02:45] Death Rattle**
No, I think G's perfect here.
**[02:48] Death Rattle**
I think I'll try a C next.
**[02:57] Purple**
It's not bad, but...
**[03:00] Death Rattle**
Maybe it would be more interesting
with a little more of a twist.
**[03:04] Death Rattle**
Let me try something.
**[03:11] Hamu**
I like that.
**[03:14] Death Rattle**
We went from a G to a D, and then
maybe it's an E minor next?
**[03:25] That Priest**
She doesn't need me.
**[03:29] That Priest**
Kids sure do grow up before you know it.
**[03:56] Hikki NEET**
What do you think?
**[03:57] Hikki NEET**
I was thinking I'll add your piano
to this, and we can call it done.
**[04:02] Bath Gremlin**
Yeah. I think it's good.
**[04:06] Bath Gremlin**
But...
**[04:08] Hikki NEET**
But?
**[04:10] Bath Gremlin**
No, it's good.
**[04:12] Bath Gremlin**
You made it for me, so I'll give it a try.
**[04:16] Hikki NEET**
Wait.
**[04:18] Hikki NEET**
Tell me if you aren't satisfied.
**[04:21] Hikki NEET**
I want to know what you want me to do.
**[04:24] Hikki NEET**
I don't know how it's going to end,
but it's your first time on the stage.
**[04:28] Hikki NEET**
I want to do everything I can.
**[04:33] Bath Gremlin**
Onii-chan...
**[04:36] Bath Gremlin**
Don't try to be so cool.
**[04:40] Bath Gremlin**
But thanks.
**[05:06] Death Rattle**
H-How was it?
**[05:09] Hikki NEET**
What would you do if I
told you to start over?
**[05:23] Death Rattle**
Kyo-san, it might be wrong,
but this is what I like.
**[05:30] Death Rattle**
I want to finish the song
with this chord progression.
**[05:36] Hikki NEET**
If you don't want to change it
even after what I just said,
**[05:39] Hikki NEET**
then this is the right choice for you.
**[05:42] Hikki NEET**
Let's go with this.
**[05:45] Death Rattle**
Okay.
**[06:02] Bath Gremlin**
What do you think?
**[06:04] Long Short**
I like it.
**[06:05] Long Short**
It makes me eager to sing it.
**[06:10] God Complex**
It's so-so.
**[06:12] Bath Gremlin**
Hey!
**[06:13] Bath Gremlin**
My brother made this at
*my* request, for *my* sake.
**[06:18] God Complex**
My, Hibiki was kind enough to listen to
the pesky in-law for the sake of *my* band.
**[06:26] Bath Gremlin**
How dare you!
**[06:27] God Complex**
What?
**[06:28] God Complex**
Are you angry because I'm right?
**[06:29] Long Short**
This is getting exciting!
**[06:31] Long Short**
That's what I want to see in a woman's fight!
**[06:34] God Complex**
Please...
**[06:44] Hikki NEET**
If you want to change it up even more,
**[06:47] Hikki NEET**
you could start Melody B with a minor chord.
**[06:50] Death Rattle**
I could.
**[06:53] Death Rattle**
But I want to keep it happy this time.
**[06:58] Death Rattle**
I'm always troubled and hesitant.
**[07:01] Death Rattle**
I've always been bad at
taking a step forward.
**[07:05] Death Rattle**
That's why I want this song—
**[07:08] Death Rattle**
my first song—to be a straightforward
one with no hesitation.
**[07:15] Hikki NEET**
All right.
**[07:16] Hikki NEET**
Then let's flesh out the arrangement, and...
**[07:20] Purple**
We *still* can't play it?
**[07:23] Hamu**
I want to play Jun-tan's song.
**[07:26] Hikki NEET**
You're right.
**[07:28] Hikki NEET**
I can't wait to hear what it'll sound like
when we all play Jun's song together.
**[07:33] Purple**
Then...
**[07:36] Hikki NEET**
Can we, Jun?
**[07:37] Death Rattle**
Yes, I want to play together, too.
**[07:48] Hikki NEET**
Okay.
**[07:49] Hikki NEET**
It's our big first take.
**[07:51] Hikki NEET**
Let's do it.
**[07:52] Death Rattle**
Okay.
**[08:35] God Complex**
Well...
**[08:37] God Complex**
It's a good song.
**[08:59] Hamu**
Jun-tan's struggling.
**[09:02] Purple**
She went into the bath saying it
might help her come up with lyrics,
**[09:04] Purple**
like it did when she was humming.
**[09:07] Purple**
It's been a while now.
**[09:08] Purple**
I hope she's okay.
**[09:11] Purple**
Wait, Jun!
**[09:12] Hamu**
Jun-tan!
**[09:14] Purple**
Jeez.
**[09:15] Purple**
You didn't have to stay in
the bath until you passed out,
**[09:17] Purple**
just because you're having
trouble with the lyrics.
**[09:21] Hamu**
You could have been in trouble
if we weren't peeping.
**[09:26] Death Rattle**
Sorry, Zomi, Ku-chan.
**[09:30] Purple**
Hey, if it's okay with you, can we help out?
**[09:33] Purple**
Like the time the three
of us composed together.
**[09:37] Death Rattle**
Thanks, but I decided I
would do this by myself.
**[09:45] Purple**
You're right.
**[09:46] Purple**
You said you'd take on the challenge,
**[09:48] Purple**
even if you aren't sure
you can do a good job.
**[09:52] Hamu**
That's the policy at Little Wing.
**[09:54] Purple**
Since when?
**[09:56] Hamu**
Since Jun-tan said
we should start a band.
**[10:09] Hikki NEET**
Are you sure you needed to buy a keyboard?
**[10:12] Bath Gremlin**
It's fine.
**[10:14] Bath Gremlin**
I bought it with my own savings.
**[10:16] Bath Gremlin**
I won't let anyone complain.
**[10:18] Hikki NEET**
But we have an electronic piano at home.
**[10:22] Bath Gremlin**
That thing's heavy.
**[10:23] Bath Gremlin**
It'll be hard to carry it back
and forth for the concert.
**[10:28] Hikki NEET**
Back and forth?
**[10:30] Bath Gremlin**
N-Not that I've decided
to keep playing with *her*.
**[10:34] Bath Gremlin**
But I thought it might not be a bad
idea to keep doing music with someone.
**[10:41] Hikki NEET**
Want me to carry that?
**[10:42] Bath Gremlin**
No, I'll carry it.
**[10:45] Bath Gremlin**
It's my instrument.
**[11:00] [SONG] Text**
Slipped and fell in a puddle of tears
Afraid of the end of night
About to disappear
But even those footsteps...
**[11:14] Curls**
Are you sure you want to be fishing
with me right before the concert?
**[11:19] Hikki NEET**
Practicing is important,
**[11:21] Hikki NEET**
but it's not good to hurt your fingers
or strings practicing too hard, either.
**[11:25] Hikki NEET**
Besides, Jun said she wanted to focus
on writing lyrics for the new song.
**[11:30] Hikki NEET**
So we're taking the day off from practice.
**[11:33] Curls**
Yeah, huh?
**[11:36] Curls**
You didn't have to come hang out with
me so early in the morning, though.
**[11:41] Hikki NEET**
I had to.
**[11:43] Hikki NEET**
You've helped me out preparing
for the concert and stuff.
**[11:47] Hikki NEET**
I wanted to pay you back a little.
**[11:51] Curls**
We aren't strangers or anything.
**[11:53] Curls**
We're practically family.
**[11:57] Curls**
I mean, I don't mean that like I want
to become a real family with you
**[12:01] Curls**
eventually or anything.
**[12:05] Hikki NEET**
It's tugging.
**[12:06] Hikki NEET**
There.
**[12:07] Hikki NEET**
Hurry!
**[12:11] Hikki NEET**
Reel it in!
**[12:12] Hikki NEET**
You have to pull it up!
**[12:13] Hikki NEET**
Come on!
**[12:14] Curls**
Hey!
**[12:29] [SONG] Text**
I'll make it to the sound I admire someday
It's time to jam, believe in the first take
I slipped and fell in a puddle of tears
Shoes covered in mud, world blurry again
Afraid of the end of the night
I can't even be happy about the beginning of the day, I'm going to disappear
But those footsteps in retrospect turn out to be precious memories
Because the mark that I reached today when I jumped
Compared to the spot I reached yesterday
Was a bit more of a high jump
I'll make it to the sound I admire someday
It's time to jam, believe in the first take
**[12:31] Death Rattle**
Um...
**[12:31] Death Rattle**
Are these lyrics okay?
**[12:35] Hikki NEET**
There's no good or bad.
**[12:38] Hikki NEET**
If this is what you want
to sing, it's correct.
**[12:41] Hikki NEET**
This is your song, after all.
**[12:47] Hikki NEET**
But we have to choose a title.
**[12:49] Death Rattle**
I've already chosen a title.
**[12:53] Death Rattle**
It's "First Take."
**[13:06] That Priest**
You don't need that anymore, do you?
**[13:11] Hikki NEET**
You noticed?
**[13:12] That Priest**
Of course I did.
**[13:14] That Priest**
Jun—the kids—can face
forward when they sing now.
**[13:20] That Priest**
Powerfully.
**[13:23] That Priest**
Kyo, it's all thanks to you.

Of course not.

Let's give it our best.
**[14:56] God Complex**
Let's show them how awesome we are.
**[15:05] Bath Gremlin**
Yeah.
**[15:08] Long Short**
Yes.
**[15:30] Long Short**
Nice to meet you, everyone.
**[15:32] Song**
We are...
**[15:34] Song**
Wait, we haven't come up with
a name for our band, have we?
**[15:42] Song**
Um...
**[15:43] Song**
We don't have a name yet, but I hope
you give us a little bit of your time.
**[15:56] ---**
*Hear the glimmering*
**[16:09] Song**
* I wanted to embrace you*
* like a warm bowl of soup*
**[16:25] Song**
*It turned out, you felt the same way*
**[16:32] Song**
*I was surprised, but even more, I was happy*
**[16:38] Song**
*You can't help but smile*
**[16:45] Song**

* whether you cry or become stubborn*
**[17:02] Song**
* Listen carefully, and you'll*
* hear the invisible treasure*
**[17:40] Death Rattle**
We're not going to be
outdone in the second half.
**[17:45] Death Rattle**
This is our first time
playing this next song.
**[17:47] Death Rattle**
It's called "First Take."
**[17:51] Hamu**
Jun-tan worked hard to write it.
**[17:56] Purple**
And it's the song we want
to play for you the most.
**[18:07] Song**
*I'll make it to the sound I admire someday*
**[18:15] Song**
*It's time to jam, believe in the first take*

Looks like we lost, Kiryu-sama.
**[20:30] God Complex**
Well, we did all we could.
**[20:33] Hikki NEET**
Huh?
**[20:34] Hikki NEET**
You aren't angry that you lost?
**[20:36] God Complex**
We're totally the away team.
**[20:39] God Complex**
I'm glad we got this many.
**[20:41] God Complex**
You could say that was our greeting jab.
**[20:44] Purple**
We're still doing more?
**[20:47] Bath Gremlin**
I never thought you'd draw for Jun and them.
**[20:51] Death Rattle**
I know.
**[20:52] Death Rattle**
And I never even told you about our song.
**[20:56] Death Rattle**
How did you come up with that drawing?
**[20:57] God Complex**
What could I do?
**[20:59] God Complex**
It just came to me.
**[21:02] Hamu**
Are we connected to you now, Kiriyume?
**[21:06] God Complex**
Don't be crazy!
**[21:09] God Complex**
I only need to be connected to Hibiki.
**[21:13] God Complex**
L-Let's go.

Okay.

Fine, fine, I got it.

You're so stubborn.

Nothing, I was just thinking...
**[21:56] Hikki NEET**
that nothing beats music.
