In this chapter, we learn that the festival will go on despite the protests of the local president, who refused to participate in the festival because of the singer's "chick-magnet" appearance. When the festival is over, we find out that the band has released a new single, "The Town Where the Stars Fall," and that the president's company has come to the festival to beg to be in it. The band's manager, Hisashi, says that the singer must be more than "just a good singer" . He also says that a good vocalist must be able to "let her grab peoples hearts" and "never let go" , which is why the president refused to attend the festival. Hisashi says that if the festival doesn't go on as planned, then it must be because the local people don't like the festival as much as they liked it. He says that he's not as good as the president at the bass or as good at singing as he was before, so he'll do his best to make the festival his "reason" for attending.
