[No one else wanted to take charge, so here he was, looking into the video feed with a resigned expression.]

...Does anyone have any musical experience or know how to start a band? I need to uh... commission a song or something...

[He looks completely at a loss, not sure what else to say about it, awkwardly shutting off the feed.]

[ Sorry, Hinata, but Yuri's laughing so hard at the idea of him starting a band. That's all you're getting. ]

[He's pretty sure he doesn't want to know, but...]

What's so funny?

Because I can't imagine you going up on stage wearing steampunk and singing.

[ Because when you say band, the first thing that's going to come to mind is GirlsDeMo. ]

Who says I would be in that kind of band?

[Even though he didn't say anything about being in the band, he might as well take this opportunity to mess with her.]

I think I'd be more of a visual kei kind of guy... Don't you think?

[Someone here took his advice to heart?

Wow. Not even making fun of him? No insults, no dodging the questions, no ego bruising? Nothing?

Someone has been here too long...]

Ah... can you sing or play an instrument? Or dance?

...I used to sometimes play Dance Dance Rebellion...

[Hinata...]

Does that count? [No. No it doesn't. Thus why he's recruiting other people.]

[Imagine this, as it is going through Otonashi's head:

Hinata has his back turned to a stage of roaring fans. The spotlights, blue-tinted of course, flash over him as he turns, his body language loose and relaxed, complete with prop glitter for the effect of ~glamour~ as he points out to the crowd lined up before the arcade. Neon signs flicker in the background, marking the opening ceremony for the tournament.

Then, in the heat of the moment, he pulls out an oval-shaped hat box with a baseball bat rammed through it with naught but some rubber bands to act as guitar strings. Hinata steps forward, the spotlights following him to reveal the DDR mat on stage.

The crowd abruptly stops cheering. The mental image shatters under the weight of its own failure.

It visibly takes him another minute to compose himself after that brief mental vacation.]

... H-how about I help you. Switch over to private and swallow your pride, okay?

[If only he knew what went on in that overactive head of yours, Otonashi...]

[A little apprehensive, he does indeed switch over to private, wondering what the redhead has to say that's so horrible, it must be shielded from the world.]

Y-yes..?

HOOOOOOOOOO!

Michel's exactly who you need if you want a song commissioned! Not only does he have his own band, Gas Chamber which is currently missing one member but he's a song writer!

[Elsewhere, Tatsuya is suddenly overcome with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach...]

[He goes to check his messages, jumping at the loud sound that erupts from his watch. Convincing himself after a moment that he's not about to die, he listens to the rest of the message.]

[Oh hey, that's perfect!]

Really!? Are you good at gathering crowds?

[He hadn't actually expected this little endeavor to work. Success!]

Babe, Michel's life is for the stage! He'll gather you up any crowd that you need!

[If he believes in it, it will be strong enough, right?!]

[...Babe? And why does he keep referring to himself in the third person...]

[That aside, he seems really into the idea, so Hinata can't complain. At least he's motivated!]

Would you be able to write a jingle I could put on the network..? I'm helping set up a tournament at the arcade and hoped that would get people's attention.

You are going to sing?

[Look at this guy making a "I can't believe you" face.]

No!

[Why does everyone assume he's going to be singing or something!?]

I said I want to commission a song! Is that not clear..? I wonder if I should change it...
