Hello! ...Woah, there are so many comics here.
Hi, Producer! Oh, you’re right. There’s a huge pile of them!
Did someone leave them here?

Eh, these are materials for our live? ...I see, so our next live is sponsored by a comic publisher.

It looks like the documents are here! ...Hmmm, they finished the concepts for our outfits.

Wow~. These outfits are based on a comic artist? I didn’t imagine they would look like this at all!

It looks like the stage’s set is based on a comic artist too, down to every little detail.
I totally can’t wait to see the outfits and the set. Let's do our best with F-LAGS for this live, Roll!
Yeah. Let’s make this live as fun as these comics! ...By the way, Producer-san.

Is it okay if I read some of these? They piqued my interest. Ahaha.

We can? Thanks! I don’t know which one to read first~. Ehehe. ♪

So this’s the drawin’ cafe Boss recommended to us?
They said to come here to use it as a reference for our live... This shop is pretty interesting, isn’t it?
Yeah. It’s like a stylish cafe and a school art room in one!
Oh, it looks like we can use any of the stationery they have here.
We can drink while we’re drawin’ pictures and comics too?!
...It seems they have created a specialized environment in order to encourage creative work.

...We are novices in drawing and comics.

...I am grateful that we have the opportunity to study in this way before our live.

Me too. Well then, let’s start looking around the shop!
Yeah! ...Hm? This stationery is an interestin’ shape. What’s this used for?

03[edit | hide]

I think we’ve looked around just about everywhere in the shop, so how about we try drawing something now?
‘Kay! What should I draw~? It might be best to start with something easy.

...I know, I’ll draw Bubu! I can use that picture of him you gave me. ♪

Then I’ll draw Satan. If it turns out good, I might give it to Asselin-san.

...Huh? What’s this thin paper? One of its sides is smooth.

It’s so thin that it’s see-through... Saki-chan, do you know what this is used for?

Hmmm. It sort of looks like parchment paper... Ah, there’s a clerk. Could you teach us how to use this?

...Mhm. They said it’s tracing paper.

You use it to copy the drawing that’s underneath it, right? Thanks for telling us!

I wonder if comic artists use this kind of tool sometimes? I’m learning a lot from this.


04[edit | hide]

...Our first rehearsal went well. Let’s keep up the pace and perfect our performance for the live.
...Hmmm.
What’s wrong, Daigo-kun? Is there something bothering you about our rehearsal?
Yeah, just a lil’. I came up with an idea for somethin’ we could do when all five of us are singin’ together.

We can improvise and draw whatever we want in the air, right?

Are you talking about how we’re going to draw with the light from our pens? What’s your idea?
Right now, we’re each just drawin’ whatever we want to,

but I was thinkin’ we could use that to send a message to the audience at the end.

...A message? We wouldn’t be able to write a long sentence with the pens’ lights.
Uh-huh, that’s true... Ah, whaddya think about each of us writin’ just one letter?
...I see. Do you mean we will write it as a relay? In that case, it shouldn’t be too difficult to implement your idea.
That sounds like it’d be fun. Let’s go ask Producer-san and the others what they think!

05[edit | hide]

Aw~, I think I messed up trying to write my letter again.

Daigo put a lot of thought into this for us, but this is still super frustrating~!

It’s because we have to write the letters backwards in order for the audience to be able to read them.
You’re pretty good at this. Hey, what’s your secret?
I don’t really have a secret, but it might be because I used this to practice.
That is... Ah, that’s the tracing paper we found at the drawing cafe, right?
It is. I wrote my letter on it, then I looked at the letter from the other side of the paper and traced it.

If you keep on tracing it over and over again, eventually you’ll memorize how to write it.

I did that when I was practicing at home, and now I can write mine pretty well.

Wow! I hadn’t thought of that before! I’ll try it soon. Thanks. ♪

...That was our first song! Thank you for being here today, everyone!

As you can see, our outfits for this live are based on comic artists!

These pens we got here aren’t any ordinary pens! They’re magic pens!

I’ll prove it to ya and show ya how I can draw in the sky with it! Here, look!

Wahaha! Wasn’t that a beautiful hanamaru? It looks like I surprised ya!

...Reading great comics can move you again and again.

...On this stage... we will show you a performance that will resonate with you in that same way.

We’re gonna make yer hearts pound with excitement, so get ready! Alright, here comes the next song!

07[edit | hide]

...Actually, lately I’ve been playing around with making simple drawings.
Roll’s shown me some of his drawings,

and the cakes he draws look super yummy!

I could tell how much he loves cakes just by looking at them, so I couldn’t help but smile. ♪

...Roll, the audience is saying they want to see one too! Go ahead and show them!

If you say so...

Maybe someday, I’ll show off my drawings somehow.

Ahaha, sorry to let you all down. I didn’t prepare any drawings for today. But still...

I’ll do my best whenever I get the chance to show you them, so please look forward to it!

Okay then, let’s papi go go to the next song! Make sure to pay super close attention to how we move our pens. ♪

(Alright! It’s almost time for this song’s climax! That means it’s also time to write our message with our pens!)

...Everyone! Please let our feelin’s reach ya!

う (U)
Thank you for listening! Did our message reach you?

...Wow! You’re cheering so loud!

Wahaha! I guess that means ya got our message!

That was our message of gratitude to ya!

…”Thank you”. We put our hearts into writing that message, in order for our feelings to reach you.
Well, our live’s not over yet! We’re gonna give it everythin’’ we’ve got, all the way ‘til the last page!
