Nagakura-san! Nagakura-saaaaan~ Do you know how to play a musical instrument? We're going to be stuck indoors a lot what with all this snow. Let's learn to play one~

Which leads me to this question for everyone: I'm fascinated by your different types of music. Would anyone be willing to teach me something? Or even just tell me about music in your country.

I like festival music. It's so cheery.

As an aside, Heavy-san? Thank you for your help at the Center lately. It's very kind of you.

[He pauses for a moment and then claps his hands together as if remembering something]

Ah! And Sonic-san? I owe you my thanks for earlier. Is there anything I can do to repay your kindness?

...wow, you must be really, really rich.

[emp3thy]

Not really. They're normal in my time.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...the future must be extremely affluent then if everyone has a music player machine.

[emp3thy]

Technology's improved.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Are they smaller then? Because I can't think of anything but having a band of musicians on a big stage. You'd need a very big house for that.

[emp3thy]

Very small.

[He holds up the player to be visible through the book's camera.] Music is stored in here. [and now the headphones -] These go on your ears.

........

How in the world do you fit people in there? Where do the instruments go?

[emp3thy]

You don't.

[pause to think how to explain] Like how this book can record voices. It's similar.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...so a music player is magic, too? How interesting.

[emp3thy]

Not magic. [...] But it's complicated.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

It seems everything I talk about ends up being complicated. I hope I'm not causing any inconveniences for you.

[emp3thy]

Don't worry.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Thank you for always taking the time to explain things to me.

Oh! I don't think I ever asked your name. Might I do so now?

[emp3thy]

You're welcome.

I'm Minato Arisato.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Minato-kun, then? It's a pleasure.

My name is Okita Souji.
