Run Gun Run Song Story - Chapter 1

 Location: Downtown

Kohei: Great work, everyone! Today's live was fantastic!

Futa: Everyone was so excited, it felt amazing!

Yamato: ...

Futa: Is something wrong, Yamato!? Didn't you have fun? 

Yamato: ...I messed up the last song.

Aoi: Really? I didn't notice. 

Futa: You worry too much about the little things, Yamato! As for me, I don't sweat it as long as I'm having fun!

Aoi: You really should care a bit more! 

Kohei: Well, it's good to reflect on yourself but you shouldn't let your mistakes hold you back. 

It's more important to look at your accomplishments. In terms of delivering a live, it was a great success. 

Yamato: But I...

Futa: Hey, I wanna make a new song soonー!

Misaki: That sure came out of nowhere...

Futa: Rather than being stuck with old songs, we should push ahead with some new music!

Aoi: ...I agree. 

Futa: What kind of song should we make? I have no idea!

Misaki: You haven't got a clue!?

Yamato: ...

Futa: ...Oi, Yamato? Are you listening?

Yamto: Guys...I need your advice. 

Kohei: What's up, did something happen?

Yamato: I need to leave for warrior training.

Futa: ...Warrior training? Are you going to run away to the mountains? And meditate under waterfalls!?
 
Misaki: Are ya gonna challenge your enemies to duels and beat up bad guys!?

Kohei: Woah, hang on a second! Where did this idea suddenly come from, Yamato? 

Yamato: I practiced so much for today's live but I still messed up.

I want to get better. That's why I want to try practicing alone for a while. 

Misaki: That's your warrior training?

Futa: You worry too much, Yamato! Having fun is what's important! 

Yamato: If I'm like this...I can't have fun. I can't enjoy myself while I'm messing up where it matters most. 

Futa: ...If you say so...

Yamato: I want to make my performance perfect before the next live. I just need a little time. 

Kohei: Well, if this is what you want, we won't stop you... but what exactly does your "warrior training" entail? 

Aoi: Will you be at the studio more?

Misaki: Are ya gonna become the pupil of a super guitarist? 

Futa: Are you gonna meditate under waterfalls after all!?

Yamato: I considered the waterfall for a moment but I think my guitar would rust. 

Actually...I'm gonna try busking.

Aoi, Futa, Kohei, Misaki: ...

EHHHHH!?

Run Gun Run Song Story - Chapter 2

 Location: Fujin Rizing Share House

Futa: Busking all alone...is Yamato really gonna be okay...?

Misaki: Won't he get involved with the wrong people if he's out doing street performances in Tokyo? He might get himself a fine...

Kohei: I don't think you need to worry about that...

Futa: I have an idea! Why don't we go spy on him!?

Kohei: Calm down, Futa. It's still only his first day, remember?

Aoi: Besides, you're not his parent. Why don't you just wait to ask him how it's coming along?

Futa: But...what if he's crying because he's all alone?

Kohei: ...You're worrying way too much. 

Misaki: Not to mention, he must have mustered up a lot of courage to be able to do this alone. We don't want to ruin that, do we?

Futa: Uuu...Yamato...

ーA few hours laterー

Yamato: I'm back.

Futa: Yamato! You're backー!

Misaki: Tell us when you're going to be late for dinner, damnmit! ...Anyway, how did it go!?

Yamato: I just played the song I messed up during the live. 

Misaki: I see...wait, you were only playing one song!? You're just practicing in the street at that point!

Kohei: Was there anyone one listening to you?

Yamato: ...No? There wasn't?

Kohei: Well, no one's going to want to stop and watch some guy practicing guitar in the street...

Yamato: I thought it was fine without an audience. 

Futa: ...Well, that's to be expected on your first day! Don't sweat it! 

Aoi: Y'know, if you're just doing the same as usual, why not come and practice at the studio with us?

Yamato: It's no good unless I'm busking.

Kohei: Why is it that you're so set on busking?

Yamato: It's something my favorite guitarist used to do. 

Aoi: ...Huh?

Yamato: He mentioned in his autobiography that he practiced by playing in the street when his performances weren't to his expectations. 

That's why I'd like to do the same.

Aoi: Oh...right...

Kohei: That's our Yamato...

Futa: If that's your reason then...we won't stop you, but...aren't you lonely? You don't feel like crying?

Yamato: I'm fine. I haven't shed a single tear. 

ーOne week laterー

Yamato: I'll be off for today.

Misaki: I'll leave some food out for you! You can heat it up later!

Yamato: Right, see ya. 

Aoi: It's been...a week now? I wonder how his training is coming along.

Kohei: He told me he still hasn't attracted a single audience member. Well, that's to be expected when all he's doing is practicing.

Aoi: It's amazing how much mental strength he has. 

Misaki: Ain't he just thick in the head?

Futa: ...

Kohei: What's wrong, Futa? You're rather quiet today, aren't you?

Aoi: Usually you'd be going on about things like, "Does he have a pick? Does he have a handkerchief?"...

Futa: ...I'm at my limit...

Misaki: Huh?

Futa: I've been worried to no end...I can’t do this anymore! I'm going to see how he is!

(Futa leaves the share house)

Kohei: Oi, Futa!
