In this short scene, Rine speaks with his friend, Pearl, who has just passed her entrance exam to become a professional musician. She and Rine have been playing together since they were in high school, and they're psyched to be able to play together in front of a crowd. They're also psyched that their band is finally getting its big-time debut. Rine tells Pearl that he's looking for new members for the band, and Pearl says that she's been practicing drums so she'll be cool like her friend one day. She's also psyched to hear that her band is going to have a major debut, which is a big deal in Japan. She says that her family doesn't even talk about music anymore, and she wants Rine to stop worrying so much about her band. She tells him that she and Pearl got together because they want to be professionals someday. They don't have to play in a studio or a live house, she says, because they just want to have fun playing music together. She also tells Rine that he should stop worrying about what other people think of him, and he should just chill out and have fun with his friends. He's sorry that he had to hear what he heard, but he can't understand why he'd be willing to sacrifice his talent to play at a live music venue. He says he'll go to the next door bar and see if he can find someone to play with. Pearl says she found her at the bar, and that they need a drummer and bass guitar for their band.
