Wataru: Um...Where is the setting table...

Rio: I wrote it down. This is fine, right?

Wataru: You did it...t-thank you

Wataru: Then, I'll just check with Ren to see if he's done with the setlist

Rio: The setlist is done

Rio: It looks like he went to work as soon as it was completed. I'm sure he'll report back to everyone when he returns

Rio: I've got all the paperwork ready and printed for you to submit to the live house

Rio: I could also download the format for the setlist from the website (HP)

Rio: Submission on the day before rehearsal seems to be okay

Wataru: ...Alright

Rio: We can rest for now. Why don't we take a break? Matoba, you like your coffee with lots of lemon and sugar, right?

Wataru: ...

Rio: What's wrong?

Wataru: (sighs) ...it's nothing

Wataru: I was just thinking that all "geniuses" must be so perfect that they can anticipate anything

Rio: I thought you said it was "nothing"?

Wataru: I don't want to interrupt your ramblings, but...

Rio: That's...sorry about that

Rio: Just...I also want to make the first live a success

Rio: I'd like to be doing something. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know

Wataru: I guess I'm done checking the equipment list

Yuuto: Good work. ...ah, that's right. I heard we have to make reservations in advance if we want to rent it

Wataru: Eh? You have to say something like that first. I wonder which one...

Yuuto: I think it's...this and this...

Wataru: Alright. I'll contact the live house. And what else do I have to do...?

Wataru: ...I wonder if I can do it at this pace and get ready in time. After all, wasn't it reckless to have the live show in a week?

Yuuto: It'll be okay somehow!

Wataru: You're saying that again...

Yuuto: There's never been anything we couldn't do, right? We can do it this time too!

Wataru: We don't want to do something like a regular live show. This will be our first live in Shimokitazawa

Wataru: I want to convey Argonavis' music to the audience

Yuuto: I see

Wataru: That's why, I'll do everything I can

Yuuto: I knew it wasn't a problem!

Wataru: ...Eh?

Yuuto: We just have to play our music. It's not Argonavis if we're too prideful. We'll just let everyone know who we are

Yuuto: Am I wrong?

Wataru: ...! Yeah, you're right

Wataru: But, it's also important to get as many people listening as possible!

Wataru: Don't forget that we don't have much time to gather customers

Yuuto: That's...I'll do my best to promote it

Wataru: I'm counting on you, leader

~ Location: Practice Studio ~ 

Kenta: ...It's about time. Let's finish up.

Nayuta: ...

Kenta: You seem unhappy, but I won't extend it today. Leaving that aside, Nayuta, here

Nayuta: ...What is this?

Kenta: I've made honeyed lemon

Nayuta: Haa?

Kenta: You have a sore throat, right?

Kenta: You've been singing a lot these days. You should take care of your throat a little more

Nayuta: I don't need it.

Kenta: Wait, Nayuta. Where are you going?

Nayuta: ...

Kenta: Are you going to the cafe that just opened? If it's there, they would be in the middle of preparations at this time of night

Nayuta: ...

Kenta: You get it, right? I'm not saying don't drink coffee, but caffeine is-

Nayuta: Shut up. Don't tell me what to do

Kenta: You should at least be patient before the performance. It's an important time for us, you know

Nayuta: ...Tsk, give me that.

Nayuta: ...

Nayuta: Tsk...this is bad, what the hell is this?

Kenta: It's made with manuka honey, which may have a bit of a strong flavor. But, it's very nutritious

Nayuta: ...

Kenta: Don't put it away

Kenta: Even if you are a genius, it will take a reasonable amount of time and effort to reach the top...

Kenta: With a little ingenuity, we can take the shortest path possible

Kenta: That's what I'm here for. Right?

Nayuta: Then bring me something better next time

Kenta: Alright, I understand. I'll take care of it

 Ways to Relax | 3* Card Story Translation

*translated using various jp dictionaries, mistakes may be made ^^"

~ Location: Snack Bar ~

Reon: I could do it, but...the question is whether or not Nayuta would accept this guitar solo

Miyuki: If you can't stop thinking about it, why don't you just show it to me for the time being?

Reon: The last time I did that...I really can't tell you how many times I've had to do it all over again before...

Miyuki: Reon-kun, relax, relax! The wrinkles between your eyebrows are going to become a problem!

Miyuki: You know, haven't you been working too hard lately? Even in practice, right?

Reon: Are you trying to tell me that I've been making too many mistakes?

Miyuki: I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just really curious

Miyuki: It's been a while since you've gotten angry at Nayuta, but even so it's just a little too much this time

Miyuki: So I was just wondering if something happened

Reon: ...I want to go beyond Nayuta's imagination

Reon: Just the other day that guy said my best guitar riff wasn't good enough...!

Miyuki: Aah...so you're getting pretty frustrated...

Miyuki: Why don't you take a break from practice for now? Read a book, go bowling, or something like that?

Reon: A break is...well, I'm already doing it

Miyuki: Is that so? What are you doing? Tell your onii-san~

Reon: Who are you calling "onii-san"? ...Geez

Reon: Miyuki-san, look at this

Miyuki: Hmm? Your hand?

Reon: 3, 2, 1...

SFX: [Bang] (The cards appear from his hand)

Miyuki: Oh~ The universal trick is here! It's amazing...you can do magic?

Reon: I'm not quite there yet, though. I'm not sure if this counts as a distraction

Miyuki: I see what you mean- Oh, that's right. I've got something for you. I'd like to thank you for showing me your magic

Reon: What? This box...hmm? There's a little guitar charm in it

Miyuki: Yeah yeah, isn't it cute? A friend of mine gave it to me the other day

Miyuki: See, it's got "good music" engraved on the front. If you have it, you might be able to make a good solo

Reon: It's not that simple- ...? It's got "Go easy" engraved on the back

Miyuki: That's right. That's what I meant by taking it easy, Reon-kun. It'll go better if you relax your shoulders a little bit

Reon: Relaxing my shoulders...I get it. I'll let Nayuta listen to this arrangement when we get back

 Movie Highlights | 3* Card Story 

*translated using various jp dictionaries, mistakes may be made ^^"

~ Location: Downtown ~

Wataru: (pleased sigh) That was a great movie

Ren: Hmm...if the last part was a little more exciting then...

Yuuto: I guess I expected too much from the promo and got too excited. It's a shame that the advertising was so good and the movie itself was so average...

Wataru: Average? Are you seriously saying that? The song they used in the movie was the best!

Rio: The song...?

Wataru: Yeah, the song. The music from my favorite bassist's band was playing

Wataru: As the bullets were being fired, his song came rushing in. It was so cool that I got goosebumps...

Banri: But you know, even if the music is good, if the rest of the movie is average, it's a failure, right?

Wataru: The highlight of that movie was the combination of the song and images. It was like a full length music video

Wataru: The powerful battle scenes, the outstanding camera work, the beauty of the images that support them, and the fast-paced bass are all part of the story

Wataru: This is a movie that's for the action and the music, so it doesn't make sense to get too deeply into the story 

Yuuto: Is...that so?

Wataru: When I get home, I'll lend you that bassist's CD. I'm sure you'll have a different impression of the movie after listening to it 

Banri: If Wataru-kun says so, I should borrow it. There's no harm in listening to a variety of good music after all

Ren: I'd...like to borrow it too...

Wataru: Of course you can borrow it

Wataru: I also want to play the bass like that. And one day...we'll be on stage together...

Rio: That's a good goal

Yuuto: Playing onstage with the person of your dreams...huh. It sounds like a nerve-wracking experience, but it's certainly a dream I'd like to achieve

Wataru: Right? We'll have to start practicing hard again tomorrow

Yuuto: Starting tomorrow? What are you gonna do with that kind of low passion?

Yuuto: You know what they say, the first thing you think of is the best thing to do. Isn't it better to hurry and practice now? I'll go with you!

Wataru: Hey- ...eh? You know, today I want to soak up the immersion from the movie-

Yuuto: We can immerse ourselves in the movie while practicing right? Come on, let's go quickly!

Wataru: ...Riiiight
