▶ Nijika Ijichi : You should watch her later!	(0:17:49.40)
▶ Nijika Ijichi : I think you'll get what I mean if you watch the videos.	(0:17:50.84)
▶ Hitori Gotoh : I always figured real-life people didn't care about me at all...	(0:17:54.65)
▶ Nijika Ijichi : You can't give up on playing in a band just because it didn't work out today!	(0:18:02.47)
▶ Nijika Ijichi : It's possible it's our problem, anyway...	(0:18:05.94)
