The band is planning to record a CD at a training camp in a nearby lake, but they don't know if they'll be able to do it. The engineer, Mamiya, explains that he's been involved in the music business all his life, so he knows how to use a dry studio to make music sound better. He rents a studio from a friend of his who's just started a new job at the same place. They'll meet the next day at 9 a.m., and Mamiya promises to take care of everything for them. He tells the band to eat first, use the bathroom, and leave their guitars and basses at home. He says he'll listen to their songs, but he doesn't have any orders. He's happy that they finally have a chance to record their own music. He thinks they're a rookie band, and they need to get better from the beginning. Mamiya tells them to ask the drummer and the guitar player if they can play the same song over and over again, because they can't get it down otherwise. He also tells them that they've got a deadline, and that the drummer has to play the best possible sound within the time frame. He points out that it's not just for the band's benefit, but that anyone can play their part if they want to. He asks the drummer if he thinks the band has the wrong idea, and the drummer says he just thinks that recording a guitar is for show.
