pukanavis Summary
"After practicing guitar, Yamato and Reon talk about each other's pasts. They find out they have some things in common such as both being born in Tokyo"
Location: Kamogawa University
Reon:
ーSo you moved all the way from here to Nagasaki to attend an event?
Yamato:
That's right. But it seems I just came back to Tokyo in the end.
Reon:
I was born in Tokyo too. My parents relocated their jobs so I started high school in Sapporo.
Yamato:
I guess that's where you met the other members of Gyro.
Reon:
Well, kind of...haha.
Yamato:
Why're you laughing?
Reon:
It's nothing... I was just thinking. Imagine if our destinations had been swapped around.
Yamato:
Me in Sapporo...and you in Nagasaki?
Reon:
If it was like that...would I be in Furai and you in Gyro?
Yamato:
Me in Gyro... I don't think that would've worked out.
Reon:
I don't think I would've joined Furai either.
Yamato:
You think so? I doubt they would've refused someone who wanted to join though?
Reon:
Nah. I wouldn't have joined Furai.
Yamato:
...
Reon:
Don't take that the wrong way, okay? I'm not trying to sound mean or look down on you guys.
I'm talking about being somewhere where I can improve my skills alongside everyone no matter how times I may get into disagreements.
Well, I'm thankful for what I have but...I still get into arguments outside of practice.
Yamato:
We have our own arguments too. They can be about anything from music to things completely unrelated.
Reon:
Haha... that sounds pretty fun, don't you think?
Yamato:
...That's the problem.
Reon:
Huh?
Yamato:
"Fun" is the most important thing in Furai. We prioritize ourselves over our audience.
It's not that we don't care about skill, it's just... at first, I felt like I didn't belong. Butー
Playing with those guys helped me realize that a band like theirs could exist. Before I knew it, I was having "fun" too.
Reon:
Hm...so there really are bands like that.
Yamato:
Don't you enjoy playing guitar for Gyro, Misono?
Reon:
Well...we don't really muck around during lives.
Nayuta would just criticize us to hell and back. "Quit, get out" seems to be his favorite thing to say...
Butー
Yamato:
?
Reon:
...I have fun. I really get fired up when we have a good live.
Yamato:
...I'm a bit surprised by your answer
Reon:
"I won't be able to improve if I don't accept reality. I won't get any better at guitar," right?
Yamato:
...Wise words.
Reon:
That's literally what you just said earlier!
