In this chapter, we're introduced to a new member of the band, the "Hedgehogs," who are playing a gig at the Budoukan in Shibuya.

Amaya's a big fan of the hedgehogs, and she's psyched that the band is going to be playing at such a big venue. She also tells us that the gig's going to take place in six months, which means that Amaya has to sell the venue on her own, or else she'll be fired. This is a big deal, because Amaya is the manager of a production company, so she has a lot of control over her band. She tells the band that if they don't sell out their venue, they'll have to go out on their own. This means that they have to perform at two different clubs in two different cities in the same six-month time frame. The band is psyched about the prospect of playing at a huge venue, but they're worried about whether or not they will be able to sell out. They also wonder if they can even get a good look at the faces of the other band members. The guitar player, Hisashi, has been drinking tea with Amaya at her house, and he's been telling her to "get over that habit fast" . He's worried that the habit will get in the way of the gig, so they can't even murmur "scare the hedge hogs" , which is
