Ah, <$17>.
How's the theater club?*
Well, I'm glad I joined,
but this is quite a 
difficult play to master.*
I think the most important
think is learning the
proper delivery...*
That's true. Without good 
vocal skills, everything
else falls apart.*
Oh, I didn't mean to be rude.
I'm probably not qualified 
to give good advice...*
No, not at all! Your
encouragement means a lot
to me, Shiori.*
Well, good luck!*
Most of all, I think
you need to practice 
your delivery.*
That's more important
than perfecting the performance.*
All right, I feed motivated
to do my best!*
Well, good luck!*
Most of all, I think
you need to practice 
your delivery.*
All right,
good luck on your delivery.*
This play is
quite a challenge.
What should I do?*
<$2E><$23>.......
<$22>Maybe you haven't
practiced your delivery enough...?*
Oh...
my delivery, huh...?*
Ah, Shiori!
I'm having trouble with this performance;
any ideas about how I could improve?*
How you could improve?
Well, I don't know if it'd help, but...*
Oh, you always have good ideas--
what do you think?*
Well then, why don't you try watching the
other performers and maybe you'll
get some ideas about how to improve.*
Watch the other performers...?
Good idea! Thanks.
I'll give that a shot.*
Sorry.
I know it's not really
great advice or anything...*
Not at all, I think
it was a good suggestion.
It'll help me improve from now on.*
Ah, Shiori!
I'm having a hard time with
this performance. What do you think
I should do...?*
Why not try watching the other
performers for ideas on how
you can improve?*
Watch the others, huh?
Good idea!
I'll give that a shot.*
But, please don't watch me
while I perform.*
Why not?
I thought I'd start
by watching you.*
But it's embarrassing if
you're staring at me!
Anyway, good luck.*
<$2E> (Even so, Shiori
really is the best performer
here. Oh well.)*
I thought you might try watching
the other performers for ideas
on how you could improve.*
<$2E><$23> ........
<$22>Why not watch the others'
performances and try to learn from that?*
Yeah...
watch the others, huh...?*
Ah, <$17>.
Yesterday's performance
was really great.*
Really?
I'm still working on it though.*
Considering we're not pros or anything,
I thought you were doing really well.*
Still, I don't think I'm doing
quite as well as you, Shiori-chan!
I want to keep practicing.*
Huh?
I, I didn't think--...*
Anyway,
I'm going to give it my best shot.*
That's right! Keep it up.*
Ah, <$17>.
Yesterday's performance
was awesome.*
For an amateurs,
I think you're doing a
really great job.*
Really? I didn't think
it was all that impressive or anything.*
I'm just trying to do
my best. It's not
a big deal.*
Thank you!
Keep up the hard work!*
But, I still think
there's room for improvement.
We need to keep working.*
True, true.
Well, good luck!*
Ah, Shiori!
I've got a question for you--what
did you think of my performance yesterday?*
<$2E><$23> .....
<$22>Well, it was about average.*
Oh...
just average, huh...?*
Ah, <$17>.
Yesterday's performance
was spectacular!*
You thought so?
I was pretty confident
we did well.*
I thought the display of emotion
was particularly well done.*
R, really?
I'm thrilled that you liked
it so much, Shiori!*
I almost felt like it was more than
a play, and it was all true...*
From now on, I'm going to
work even harder at practice!!*
Well, let's both
do our best.*
Yes, I will!*
Ah, <$17>.
Yesterday's performance
was spectacular!*
In particular, you conveyed
emotions very well.*
Well, if you really thought so...
all right,
let's both do our best!*
Well, if you really thought so...
I've got to do my best, huh?*
Yes, we should both try our best!*
<$2E><$23> .......
<$22>You're conveying emotion
really well.*
You think so?
I feel more confident now.*
This year, we might reach our
dream of performing in the Japan 
National Theater Grand Prix.* (<-- "Grand Prix" sounds silly in English, make up a better name...)
Y, you think so?
I never imagined we could
make it that far...*
If we give it everything we've got,
I really think we have a shot
at winning.*
If you really think we can do it,
Shiori, I think we could all work
together and maybe even pull it off!*
Don't forget! We've got to do our best.*
All right, I'll give it everything I've got.*
It looks like our hopes of
making the Japan National Theater
Grand Prix are going to become reality.*
If you keep working hard,
I think we'll definitely be able
to get the grand prize.*
If you really believe in us that
much, Shiori, I'm sure
it's possible.*
Don't forget! 
We've got to do our best.*
All right, I'll give it everything I've got.*
Don't give up, because
we really have a shot at it
this time.*
That's right.
Keep working hard, okay?*
Of course!
We'll both give it everything we've got.*
<$2E><$23>.........
<$22>We'll finally get to perform in
the Japan National Theater Grand Prix.*
Wow, the
Japan National Theater Grand Prix...
I'll do my best!*
