It's the 2nd day of the Starting live, and the member of Argonavis have been working hard since the start of the day. Meanwhile, Ren seems to have changed a little...

 ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

— Starting Live - 2nd Day —

 Rio:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎How are the votes looking?

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Fujin RIZING!'s moving up. They used to only popular in just their hometown, but maybe it’s because yesterday’s live left such an impact.

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎On the other hand, Fantome Iris is a bit more sluggish. It looks like some people are more resistant to the world-buildup.

 Wataru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎What about εpsilonΦ? Although they ditched it.

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎They're kinda all over the place, I guess? I wonder if stronger fans are pushing them forward.

 Yuto:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎How about us and GYROAXIA?

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Gyro's amazing...maybe because they’re more well known, there’s lots of posts expecting them to be No.1.

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎And we're...well, sorta at the bottom.

 Yuto:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎At the bottom huh...well that’s fine! Let's flip those expectations right around at today’s live!

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Right, Ren?

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...

 Yuto:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Heyyy...Ren?

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Ahhh...He's definitely not listening.

 Wataru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎He’s been like this since yesterday. He’s had the Starting Live video on loop for a while now.

 Rio:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎He's just as focused when he's watching Tokusatsu, isn’t he?

 Yuto:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Ren, we'll be heading to the live venue soon, okay?

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Don’t you want to see Gyro’s performance in person? After all, you said that so much yesterday.

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...!! I'm coming!

 Rio:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎He snapped out of it.

 Wataru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Okay then, let's get ready.

 ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

— εpsilonΦ's Sharehouse —

 Reiji:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Shu, where are you going?

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎'course it's to The Starting Live.

 Reiji:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎I thought you weren't interested in the other bands’ performances.

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Could care less about them. I just wanna see how the toys we're playin' with soon are gonna act.

 Reiji:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎I see...

 ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

— Backstage —

 Wataru:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Is it me or is there a bigger audience than there was yesterday?

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎They’re probably GYROAXIA fans. As I expected, they must be pretty popular in Tokyo too.

 Yuto:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎We can’t lose to them...

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Nayuta-kun and the others are so cool...

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Oh? Aren’t ya that onii-san from last time?

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎You're εpsilonΦ’s..Ujigawa Shu-kun...

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Woah, I'm glad that ya remebered me. To the Argonavis onii-sans as well, hello.

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Hey there, kiddo...are you observing on your own today?

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Guess I am...but can ya stop treatin' me like a kid?

 Banri:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Ohhh, sorry about that!

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎But with havin' all those members on your radar, GYROAXIA must really like ya, huh~?

 ‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Then I'm takin' a look around too~

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...Hey, Shu-kun. Can I ask you a question?

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎What is it~?

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Why didn't...you perform yesterday?

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎Hmmm~...guess it's 'cause it was pointless.

 Ren:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎...Huh?

 Shu:‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎That doesn’t matter right now~! Look, Gyroaxia’s live is startin'~!
