**[00:33] crowd**
That was so good.
**[00:34] crowd**
It really was!
**[00:37] Anon**
Thank you!
**[00:39] crowd**
It was so moving.
**[00:40] crowd**
It was incredible.
**[01:02] Taki**
Tomori?
**[01:03] Anon**
What's going on? I don't understand!
**[01:06] Taki**
I don't understand either!
**[01:08] Soyo**
I came here to put an end to all of this.
**[01:11] Soyo**
So, why...
**[01:13] Soyo**
I just don't know anymore!
**[01:16] Soyo**
I used all of you!
**[01:21] Tomori**
Even so... we do this our whole lives!
**[01:25] Soyo**
Our whole lives?
**[01:27] Soyo**
Only an idiot would say that!
**[01:34] Anon**
Soyo-san...
**[01:38] Taki**
Don't cry!

"Long ago, I, Master Zhuang,
dreamed I was a butterfly."
**[03:24] teacher**
"I fluttered, flying,
as nothing other than a butterfly."
**[03:26] teacher**
"I enjoyed myself
and felt completely fulfilled."
**[03:30] teacher**
"I did not know myself to be Master Zhuang."
**[03:33] teacher**
"Suddenly, I woke, and I was
at once myself again."
**[03:38] teacher**
"I do not know if I dreamed
that I was a butterfly,"
**[03:42] teacher**
"or if I am a butterfly
dreaming that I am me."
**[03:45] teacher**
"But there must be some distinction
between myself and a butterfly."
**[03:49] teacher**
"This is what is known
as the transformation of things."
**[03:52] teacher**
Has anyone heard this before?
**[03:54] teacher**
This is Master Zhuang's "A Butterfly Dream."
**[04:02] Umiri**
About tomorrow, I was thinking
of pushing things forward to 5PM.
**[04:06] Umiri**
Misumi-san, you have commitments
before that, don't you?
**[04:08] Uika**
Sorry. That would really help.
**[04:09] Umiri**
It's fine.
**[04:11] Umiri**
Did you need something?
**[04:14] Taki**
Not really.
**[04:21] Umiri**
Did you need something?
**[04:25] Taki**
Were you always friends with Misumi-san?
**[04:27] Umiri**
Oh! Is this jealousy?

Anon
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Understood!
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Soyo has left the group
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Today
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Anon has invited Soyo to the group.
There may be a delay before invitees join.
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Soyo has joined the group.
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Anon
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Soyo-san is here~~~!!!
**[04:35] [Messenger] text**
Soyo-san, do you think you
can make rehearsal today?
**[04:40] Umiri**
It seems that things with your band
were settled amicably.
**[04:43] Umiri**
If anything happens, feel free
to request my services anytime.
**[04:45] Taki**
Nothing else will happen.
**[04:46] Umiri**
Well, well...
**[04:48] student**
Uika-chan, morning!
**[04:49] Uika**
Morning!
**[04:57] wind ensemble A**
I kinda want to go to an instrument store.
**[04:58] [Messenger] text**
Taki
**[04:58] [Messenger] text**
Should we go to the studio today?
**[04:59] wind ensemble B**
Oh, I need to buy a reed, too.
**[05:01] wind ensemble B**
Soyo-chan, do you want to come, too?
**[05:02] Soyo**
What?
**[05:03] Soyo**
Well, what should I do?
I still have oil, so...
**[05:12] Rāna**
When is the next live performance?
**[05:14] Taki**
What?
**[05:14] Rāna**
We'll do a performance.
**[05:15] Anon**
Was performing that moving?
**[05:17] Anon**
I mean, we were pretty amazing, right?
**[05:20] Rāna**
I was moved.
**[05:25] Taki**
We don't need to for a while.
**[05:27] Taki**
We want to thoroughly prepare
for the next one and—
**[05:29] Rāna**
Let's do a performance.
**[05:30] Taki**
I said—
**[05:31] Rāna**
Performance.
**[05:31] Taki**
I mean...
**[05:32] Taki**
Wait, why are you only saying this to me?
**[05:34] Rāna**
Performance.
**[05:34] Taki**
Hey!
**[05:35] Anon**
Oh, honestly. You're hopeless.
**[05:38] Anon**
Her you go, Rāna-chan!
**[05:39] Anon**
It's a deep-steamed green tea candy!
**[05:55] Tomori**
Soyo-chan!
**[05:56] Anon**
You're late! And you didn't text back!
**[06:05] Rāna**
We'll do a performance.
**[06:06] Anon**
I don't have any more candy.
**[06:08] Rāna**
Performance.
**[06:10] Taki**
I'll go buy some green tea.
**[06:12] Anon**
What?
**[06:14] Rāna**
Stare...
**[06:18] Anon**
I-I'll go, too!
**[06:27] Tomori**
The other day, I saw Mutsumi-chan.
**[06:32] Tomori**
She said that you were lost, too, Soyo-chan.
**[06:39] Soyo**
Yes.
**[06:45] Anon**
Soyo-san came.
**[06:46] Taki**
Why would she come?
**[06:48] Anon**
That's so mean. What's wrong
with her coming?
**[06:51] Taki**
It's you.
**[06:52] Anon**
What?
**[06:55] Taki**
The guitar. Did you practice a lot?
**[07:01] Taki**
You practiced even when you
weren't coming here, right?
**[07:07] Anon**
Well, I did play a little
when I felt like it.
**[07:11] Taki**
You are so bad at lying.
**[07:12] Anon**
What?
**[07:13] Taki**
I guess it's only natural
that you'd practice.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Taki**
She said that she doesn't need you or Rāna.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Taki**
She just used you to tie me
and Tomori together!
**[07:31] Taki**
Practicing even after hearing
something like that was... admirable.
**[07:48] Anon**
You are so bad at apologies.
**[07:50] Taki**
What?
**[07:51] Ririko**
Taki-chan!
**[07:53] Ririko**
Have you decided on your set list
for the performance this weekend?
**[07:56] Taki**
Huh?
**[07:58] Taki**

We really are on the list.
**[08:03] Tomori**
I forgot.
**[08:04] Ririko**
Are you going to be okay?
**[08:05] Ririko**
Tomori-chan, you took as many
spots as you could, right?
**[08:08] Anon**
What do we do? The show is in three days!
**[08:10] Soyo**
Unbelievable.
**[08:14] Tomori**
What about the song we played the other day?
**[08:17] Anon**
How did that song go?
**[08:19] Soyo**
I suddenly got dragged up there,
and it was all improv.
**[08:22] Soyo**
I can't play it again.
**[08:23] Rāna**
We'll do it.
**[08:24] Taki**
You play things differently every time.
**[08:26] Anon**
What about "Hekiten Bansou"?
**[08:28] Taki**
One song won't be enough.
**[08:29] Soyo**
I won't play "Haru Hikage."
**[08:36] Taki**
So, a new song?
**[08:38] Tomori**
A new song...
**[08:39] Rāna**
We'll do it.
**[08:40] Soyo**
Can we do it in time?
**[08:47] Anon**
Hang on!
**[08:48] Anon**
Haven't we all forgotten
something even more important?
**[08:52] Anon**
Our band name and costumes!
**[08:53] Taki**
Is this really the time
to be worrying about that?
**[08:55] Soyo**
I think that's just how things are right now.
**[08:57] Anon**
What?
**[08:58] Anon**
This time, I'm not giving up on them!
**[09:00] Taki**
Could you just think about this seriously?
**[09:03] Anon**
I said that because
I'm thinking about things!
**[09:05] Anon**
Are you planning to perform
in your own clothes forever?
**[09:07] Ririko**
Would you like to cancel?
**[09:10] Tomori**
W-We'll perform!
**[09:12] everyone**
What?
**[09:13] Tomori**
We'll perform.
**[09:14] Tomori**
Five of us.
**[09:17] Ririko**
Okay! Isn't that wonderful?
**[09:19] Taki**
You say that in such a carefree way.
**[09:21] Ririko**
I've told you, you should
perform in a carefree way!
**[09:23] Taki**
We're the ones
who are gonna get embarrassed.
**[09:26] Ririko**
That's completely up to you, you know?
**[09:28] Taki**
This is why adults are just...
**[09:29] Ririko**
I can say it *because* I'm an adult.
**[09:32] Soyo**
I don't mind doing it.
**[09:33] Soyo**
I've already embarrassed myself anyway.
**[09:36] Soyo**
What?
**[09:38] Tomori**
Nothing.
**[09:41] Taki**
I think this band can work.
**[09:45] Taki**
That's why I want to do
the next performance right.
**[09:50] Taki**
We're always sort of haphazard, though.
**[09:55] Taki**
We have to get ready!
There isn't much time before the show.
**[09:58] Taki**
Tomori, Stray Cat.
**[10:00] Taki**
Go home and then come to my place.
**[10:02] Taki**
We'll get this new song
shaped up by tomorrow.
**[10:06] Tomori**
All right.
**[10:08] Anon**
I'll make costumes!
I'll think up designs all night!
**[10:13] Taki**
Just don't interfere
with Tomori's work, okay?
**[10:15] Anon**
What? I wouldn't do that.
**[10:22] Soyo**
Tomori-chan is stubborn, isn't she?
**[10:26] Anon**
You're just now realizing that?
**[10:28] Soyo**
She said, "five of us."
**[10:29] Soyo**
What was she planning to do if I refused?
**[10:32] Anon**
She probably didn't think about that.
**[10:34] Anon**
If she weren't stubborn,
**[10:36] Anon**
she wouldn't have gone so far
as to fight us to bring you back, Soyo-san.
**[10:39] Soyo**
What?
**[10:41] Anon**
She couldn't give up on the band or on you.
**[10:43] Anon**
Not even if it meant she'd be alone.
**[10:48] Anon**
We really are just getting lead
around by Tomori-chan, aren't we?
**[10:54] Anon**
You know, I'm not going to
call you "Soyo-san" anymore.
**[10:59] Soyo**
What?
**[11:06] Anon**
I'm not going to quit,
so you don't quit either, Soyorin!
**[11:09] Soyo**
What? "Soyorin"?
**[11:11] Anon**
Don't quit, okay?
**[11:13] Soyo**
Stop that!
**[11:19] Rāna**
Meow.

Ricky, is the new song coming along okay?
**[11:38] [Messenger] text**
Will the new song be ready in time?
**[11:41] [Messenger] text**
Tomori is writing lyrics.
**[11:43] [Messenger] text**
Will they be ready in time?
**[11:45] [Messenger] text**
I don't know what direction
to take with the costumes~
**[11:47] Anon**
What?
**[11:47] [Messenger] text**
Taki
**[11:47] [Messenger] text**
Do we even need costumes?
**[11:50] [Messenger] text**
Afterglow and Poppin'Party
look cool, don't they?

**[11:53] [Messenger] text**
I've thought of a band name

Anon
**[11:56] [Messenger] text**
Good, right?
**[11:57] Taki**
What?
**[11:58] [Messenger] text**
Hard no
**[11:59] [Messenger] text**
Soyo
**[11:59] [Messenger] text**
That won't work

Gloom
**[12:03] Taki**
Tomori, are you okay?
**[12:06] Anon**
What? ANON TOKYO is the only choice, right?
**[12:09] Anon**
You have no taste in names.
**[12:11] Anon**
Nyamu-chi!
**[12:11] [Messenger] text; top**
Nyamu-chi has uploaded a new video
**[12:11] [Messenger] text**
I bought an electric drum kit!
And I tried playing it
**[12:17] Nyamu**
*Good morn-nyamu-nyamu!*
**[12:19] Nyamu**
*How are you doing, everyone?*
**[12:20] Nyamu**
* I know this is sudden,*
* but I bought an electric drum kit!*
**[12:24] Anon**
That's incredible.
**[12:24] Nyamu; background**
* I'm thinking of uploading*
* videos of me practicing.*
**[12:27] Nyamu; background**
*I'll give it my best nyamu try!*
**[12:27] Anon**
No, no.
**[12:32] Soyo**
So, what are you going to do?
**[12:34] Soyo**
In the end, the new song
and the costumes still aren't done.
**[12:34] Anon; background**
Hmm, maybe this one?
**[12:38] Tomori**
Sorry. I couldn't come up with lyrics.
**[12:39] Anon; background**
Huh?
**[12:40] Taki**
You don't have to push yourself too hard.
**[12:42] Anon; background**
Maybe this one? I'm not sure.
**[12:43] Soyo**
Can you make it in time without pushing it?
**[12:45] Anon; background**
Excuse me! I'm interested in an effects unit.
**[12:46] Taki**
You might be right, but...
**[12:49] Tae**
Coming!
**[12:50] Anon**
Something like this.
**[12:52] Tae**
Which do you want?
**[12:53] Tae**
Do you want, "chicka, chicka"?
Or, "bum ba bum"?
**[12:57] Anon**
Um, both... maybe?
**[13:00] Anon**
And an amp, too!
**[13:01] Tae**
You got it! I'll bring them out.
**[13:04] Taki**
Why are you buying those now?
**[13:05] Anon**
Because I want them.
And everyone else brings their own.
**[13:08] Anon**
Though, I'm sure a drummer
like you wouldn't understand.
**[13:12] Taki**
At any rate,
**[13:13] Taki**
we need to at least do something
about the new song tonight.
**[13:16] Taki**
Should we all get together?
**[13:17] Tomori**
At your house again, Taki?
**[13:19] Taki**
Five people won't fit in my place.
**[13:23] Soyo**
Then, want to talk at my place?
**[13:38] Anon**
What's wrong? Come
over here and have a seat!
**[13:42] Anon**
Huh? What are you eating?
**[13:44] Rāna**
Soba.
**[13:45] Anon**
Where did you buy that?
**[13:46] Rāna**
Convenience store.
**[13:47] Anon**
I don't remember you liking soba.
**[13:48] Soyo**
Aren't we supposed to be writing a new song?
**[13:56] Taki**
Quit making a racket!
You're bothering Tomori!
**[13:58] Anon**
Sorry.
**[14:06] Taki**
You stay here!
**[14:09] Taki**
Here.
**[14:14] Taki**
You're not allowed to touch this!
**[14:17] Soyo**
When did you start learning MIDI music?
**[14:23] Taki**
In middle school.
**[14:25] Taki**
I thought I might need it
if I was ever in a band again.
**[14:32] Anon**
Ricky, you're so devoted.
**[14:35] Anon**
You always ignore me like that!
**[14:37] Anon**
Honestly.
**[14:43] Rāna**
Here.
**[14:43] Anon**
Huh? Thanks.
**[14:46] Anon**
SPACE?
**[14:48] Rāna**
My grandma's.
**[14:54] Taki**
You don't have to force yourself
to write the lyrics.
**[14:59] Anon**
About our costumes...
**[15:00] Anon**
What about something like this?
**[15:02] Rāna**
No problem.
**[15:03] Soyo**
We'd be basically naked!
**[15:04] Taki**
We'd never be able to make something like
that, and we'd never be able to wear it either.
**[15:07] Anon**
Really?
**[15:09] Soyo**
It isn't something you'd wear
in a band anyway, is it?
**[15:11] Anon**
I don't think it's good
to get caught up in stereotypes.
**[15:15] Anon**
I think it's good to present
ourselves in different ways.
**[15:18] Anon; internal**
*And, I mean, I want to stand out,*
**[15:19] Anon; internal**
*so something like this...*
**[15:21] Anon; internal**
*or maybe like this?*
**[15:23] Anon; internal**
*Or, like this?*
**[15:27] Taki**
I now know why our costumes
haven't been decided yet.
**[15:30] Soyo**
What kind of performance
do you want to do in these?
**[15:32] Anon**
What?
**[15:32] Anon**
Ricky, Soyorin, aren't you being kinda mean?
**[15:34] Soyo**
Soyorin doesn't really like this.
**[15:36] Anon**
But aren't they cute?
**[15:38] Soyo**
I said, I don't like them.
**[15:40] Taki**
And your name ideas tick me off.
**[15:42] Soyo**
Seriously, you have no taste.
**[15:44] Anon**
You're the ones with no taste!
**[15:46] Anon**
Right, Tomorin?
**[15:47] Taki**
Tomorin?
**[15:48] Tomori**
Ano-chan.
**[15:49] Taki**
Ano-chan?!
**[15:50] Soyo**
When did that happen?
**[15:52] Taki**
Wh-What about me?
**[15:56] Tomori**
Taki-chan.
**[15:57] Taki**
What?
**[15:58] Anon**
You're Ricky, Ricky!
**[16:00] Anon**
Hang on, the night view from here is insane!
**[16:02] Anon**
Let's all take a picture together!
**[16:04] Anon**
One that we can use for social media!
**[16:05] Soyo**
What?
**[16:06] Anon**
We have to make announcements and stuff,
so I made an account for the band!
**[16:09] Taki**
Without asking anyone?
**[16:14] Anon**
I'm taking it now!
**[16:18] Anon**
Soyorin, you too!
**[16:21] Anon**
Come on, Soyorin, hurry up! Soyorin!
**[16:28] Soyo**
My name isn't Soyorin.
**[16:33] Anon**
Ugh. What is this?
**[16:35] Tomori**
I closed my eyes.
**[16:37] Tomori**
There's something shiny.
**[16:38] Rāna**
A ghost?
**[16:39] Tomori**
I don't think so?
**[16:41] Anon**
Huh? We aren't taking another one?
**[16:43] Tomori**
Photos are difficult, aren't they?
**[16:45] Rāna**
Yeah.
**[16:45] Anon**
Let's retake it once!
**[16:47] Rāna**
That one's good.
**[16:48] Anon**
Don't say that. Come on, please?
**[16:53] Taki**
The truth is, I knew what you were thinking.
**[16:56] Soyo**
What?
**[16:57] Taki**
I knew that you couldn't
forget about CRYCHIC.
**[17:00] Taki**
I knew that... and I used you, too.
**[17:04] Taki**
That's why... I'm horrible, too.
**[17:08] Soyo**
Taki-chan.
**[17:10] Taki**
That's all I had to say.
**[17:22] Anon**
Hey, what are we gonna do?
**[17:23] Anon**
The show is tomorrow!
**[17:25] Anon**
We didn't get anything
done this time either!
**[17:27] Taki**
I know that!
**[17:28] Anon**
What will we do about costumes?
**[17:30] Soyo**
Do we even need costumes in the first place?
**[17:31] Anon**
We do!
**[17:34] Soyo**
We'll be late!
**[17:35] Taki**
Tomori, do you want to take the day off?
**[17:36] Anon**
No! Why don't you write that at school?
**[17:38] Anon**
Let's buy breakfast somewhere.
**[17:40] Taki**
Oh, I got some snack bread from my senpai.
**[17:42] Anon**
Chocolate cornets?
**[17:43] Taki**
Maybe.
**[17:44] Anon**
Maybe?

"So comfortable was my spring slumber,
I did not notice the arrival of dawn."
**[17:57] teacher**
"I began to hear birdsong from all around."
**[17:58] Tomori**
It's done.
**[17:59] teacher**
"Last night, the sound of wind
and rain was fierce,"

Tomorin. Tomorin!

"so a number of flowers
must have fallen, too."

Anon: The lyrics are done!
**[18:08] teacher**
This is now referred to
as the Köppen climate classification.
**[18:11] teacher**
They can be further divided according

Help me with the costumes~!
**[18:25] Taki**
What?
**[18:27] Soyo**
And who was it that said
she wanted to do this?
**[18:30] Anon**
I mean,
**[18:31] Anon**
it's kinda impossible for me to do costumes
for five people on my own, right?
**[18:34] Anon**
You should be more considerate.
**[18:37] Soyo**
You're adding things to this?
**[18:38] Soyo**
Can't we just wear them as they are?
**[18:39] Anon**
No, we can't!
**[18:41] Anon**
Don't cut the paper! Cut the fabric!
**[18:44] Rāna**
Fabric?
**[18:46] Soyo**
We don't have time to play around, right?
**[19:00] Anon**
Did you finish the song?
**[19:02] Taki**
I finished the melody before coming.
**[19:03] Anon**
The melody? Help make the costumes, too.
**[19:07] Taki**
Tomori?
**[19:08] Taki**
Sorry, Tomori. Wake up.
**[19:11] Taki**
Hey, you can hear me, can't you?
**[19:13] Taki**
We have to finalize the arrangement.
**[19:15] Taki**
Hey.
**[19:16] Anon**
She said she makes it
a point not to pull all-nighters.
**[19:18] Taki**
What?
**[19:19] Anon**
Rāna-chan, are the costumes...
**[19:22] Anon**
What is wrong with this band?
**[19:33] Anon**
How much do you have to play guitar
to end up like that?
**[19:36] Rāna**
My grandma's.
**[19:37] Anon**
Your grandma?
**[19:39] Anon**
You mentioned her
when you gave me that pick, too.
**[19:41] Rāna**
Miraculous Scarlett.
**[19:42] Anon**
Miraculous... what?
**[19:45] Rāna**
She did her own live concert house.
**[19:48] Rāna**
SPACE.
**[19:49] Rāna**
I thought it would be there my whole life.
**[19:51] Rāna**
But it's gone now.
**[19:55] Rāna**
But she said that someone would
make somewhere else for me to belong.
**[20:07] Rāna**
Good night.
**[20:08] Taki**
Hey! Don't go to sleep!
**[20:09] Taki**
What are we going to do about the song?
**[20:11] Anon**
That's my bed.
**[20:13] Tomori**
A whole lifetime...
**[20:16] Tomori**
A whole lifetime is hard.
**[20:19] Tomori**
Really hard.
**[20:22] Tomori**
I... was scared of getting hurt.
**[20:27] Tomori**
I wanted to play
in a band... for my whole life.
**[20:31] Tomori**
But...
**[20:33] Tomori**
a lifetime without getting
hurt... is impossible.
**[20:37] Tomori**
You get hurt all over... and covered in mud.
**[20:42] Tomori**
You have to struggle and fight so much.
**[20:44] Tomori**
Even so...
**[20:47] Tomori**
I want to be in a band with all of you...
**[20:50] Tomori**
no matter how many times
I fall or lose my way.
**[20:56] Anon**
That's it!
**[20:58] Taki**
What?
**[20:59] Tomori**
Ano-chan?
**[21:02] Anon**
Here it is! This!
**[21:05] Anon**
Our band name!
***SIGN*** Maigo (lost girls)
***SIGN*** A band of lost girls!
**[21:44] Soyo**
My costume...
**[21:46] Soyo**
