chapter 1 - section A: introduction to chords

[shortcakes]

[Having gotten over the initial freak-out upon arriving, (her quick recovery was possibly due to the fact that she has her guitar with her here...!) her expression when the feed begins is something of a forced smile, being a little unsure about all of this...]

Hello, everyone...! [... but as she speaks, she seems to regain some confidence and enthusiasm. It's just like talking to a whole crowd of strangers during her gigs in school, after all!]

I'm Yui Hirasawa! I am going to be nineteen this year, and I've just graduated from high school! [why does this sound so much like a self-introduction in class...] My hobbies are playing Giita over here, [she brings her Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul up for everyone to see~] eating sweets, and bumming around! [... did she just say 'bumming around' was her hobby?!]

So um...! How are we supposed to bring color and life to this place?

[sora_wo_koete]

... did you actually give your guitar a nickname?

[shortcakes]

Un. [she sees no problem with that at all.]

1/2

[sora_wo_koete]

Mm, that's...

2/2

[sora_wo_koete]

... cute?

[ WHAT DO YOU EVEN SAY TO THAT ]

[shortcakes]

Mm, thanks! [she thinks this is a compliment...!?]

[sora_wo_koete]

I've honestly never met anyone who named their instrument before; I suppose it's a breath of fresh air?

[shortcakes]

Really?~ I think more people should name their instruments! Both Mio-chan and Azunyan did too!

[sora_wo_koete]

... I-I see...

Maybe it's a more common practice than I thought...

[shortcakes]

Maybe! What about you? Do you play an instrument?

[sora_wo_koete]

Ah... no. Actually, I'm mostly aiming to be a singer.

[shortcakes]

Ohh! Will you sing for me sometime?

[sora_wo_koete]

Of course! That way we'll be even.

[shortcakes]

Maybe we can even do a duet!

[sora_wo_koete]

Hm? Yui, you sing as well?

[shortcakes]

Un! I think Mio-chan sings better, but she's too shy to sing most of the time!

[sora_wo_koete]

Really? Well, that sort of thing takes time to overcome. I was like that when I was younger, too.

[ In front of huge live audiences, at least. ]

[shortcakes]

She's always shy about everything, though!

There was one time she tripped on a mic wire after singing, and everyone could see her panties!

[sora_wo_koete]

[ ... YUI, WHAT ]

That would make ANYONE shy-!

[shortcakes]

It would? But it's a girls' school, you know. I'd be okay with it!

[sora_wo_koete]

If she was already shy in the first place, that wouldn't help too much!!

[shortcakes]

Oh, yeah. Mio's always really shy. Another time, we went to work at a maid café together to train her!

[sora_wo_koete]

[ o-oh my god that poor girl ]

... how did that go...?

[shortcakes]

She got a little braver after it!

[sora_wo_koete]

That's good... I think? -- ah!

[ Chihaya finishes rummaging among the practice room's equipment and gestures towards Yui. ]

Do you think this amp will work with your guitar?

[shortcakes]

Ohh! I think so! It looks like the ones we have in the clubroom!

[too bad she didn't bring Giita along today!]
