Head to the rehearsal room and meet your band members[]
Mission DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
Hurry to the rehearsal room and greet your band members!
Mission Description
- (Talk to Rappa, optional)
- Rappa: Yo! Sound Master!
- Yo, Dazzling Ninja Hero!
- Is there still danger here?
- So you're actually still attending school?
- Rappa: I have shattered the fiendlings' conspiracy, and Pinecany's long night also welcomes daybreak. The reason I have remained here is merely to collect criminal evidence related to the Evil Ninja Osaru.
- Rappa: Truth be told, I was to depart soon, but when I learned that the ninja initiates' festival was in jeopardy, this Ninja Hero could not sit idly by.
Yo, Dazzling Ninja Hero!- (Talk to the Fortune Academy Rep, optional)
- Fortune Academy Rep: As the new owner of the Radiant Feldspar, and a shareholder of Penacony, I'm sure you won't mess up a mere music party, will you?
- Fortune Academy Rep: We'll leave the upcoming organizational work to you. Just don't become the laughingstock of the entire Cosmos.
- (Talk to the Charmony Academy Rep, optional)
- Charmony Academy Rep: *sigh* Since it's someone recommended by Miss Robin, and a superstar picked by Mr. Reca, that shouldn't be a problem.
- Charmony Academy Rep: Dear shareholder, the music party is Paperfold University's most important celebration. You all must put in double the effort!
- (Talk to the Dreamweaver Academy Rep, optional)
- Dreamweaver Academy Rep: I hear that this outsider has considerable performing talent, and it may yet be a good approach to solving the problem.
- Dreamweaver Academy Rep: Anticipation: I wish your music party performance smooth-sailing.
- (Approach the band)
- In the rehearsal room, you and Rappa look over the band members practicing.
- Rappa: Sound Ninja, I have observed your performances...
- Rappa: If I may be so bold — you may wish to deliver a festival that fellow ninjas will truly recognize, but your Sound Release ninjutsu is sorely lacking.
- Trendy Band Member: Hey, how dare you spew such tripe? Even if you were the leader appointed by Miss Robin, there's no need to be this harsh, is there?
- Rappa: Stay your anger. The Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions states: "No ninja bears a kunai in swaddled clothes." No matter how gifted you all may be, your training must match your talent.
- Rappa: Since I have undertaken the duty of Chief Ninja, I must train everyone into exemplar ninja worthy of the name of the Dazzling School!
- Rappa: Before training proper, I would have everyone introduce themselves and their special ninja arts, which allows me to more easily tailor a special training schedule.
- Band Member: ...?
- Rappa: Does indecision still cloud your minds? Let the Sound Master lead by example, then.
- (Introduce yourself in the most normal way)
- (Trailblazer): Err... Hey everyone, I'm the band manager. Great to meet you all. Let's all work hard together and complete the music party performances. Our goal this time is to...
- Obtain the DREAMSCAPE GOLD MEDAL!
- Quiet Band Member: What the heck... I've never heard of such an award.
- Be world-famous!
- Nervous Band Member: Isn't that... a little over our heads?
- Revel in participation!
- Trendy Band Member: Participation is key! What matters is that you have fun! All glory to music! Ohhhhh!!!
- (Trailblazer): That's all for my self-intro. Thank you.
- Band Member: Oh... Oh.
- (Introduce yourself using a ninja mantra)
- (Trailblazer): Doesn't matter if you've heard this before, I'm not kidding around anyway. I'm the band manager, so no one needs to panic. We've got three shows to do, so everyone's got to get busy. It's gonna be hard!
- (Trailblazer): I am...
- The Galactic Baseballer, and I've never taken a day off.
- Quiet Band Member: How surprising — you're a weirdo too.
- Astral Express Nameless, it's really fun to travel the stars.
- Nervous Band Member: Travel? Can... Can I join?
- Gray-haired one here, taking names, kickin' butt, leaving before stuff gets drear.
- Trendy Band Member: Ma... Making... music always relieves my burdens!
- Rappa: Oof! The Sound Master has a knack for this!
- (Trailblazer): That's it for my self-introduction. It's your turn now!
- Band Member: ...
- Trendy Band Member: It's [sic] it just breaking the ice at a party? Allow me, the Fortune Academy's Party King, to have a go first!
- Trendy Band Member: Oh~ my~ flower~ Beautiful lady, may your glimpse linger, leaving ample time to remember me~ You remember me, yet forget me. Just like you met me, and one day you shall leave me~
- Czipo: But please remember my name, Czipo Lionel Lero! Fortune Academy's most outstanding keyboardist...
- Why'd he start singing?
- What frightening taste in music.
- Good thing he's not lead vocals...
- Rappa: Czipo Lionel... Your name is certainly a mouthful. Ninja names should be crisp and powerful. Listen up, your name will henceforth be Ninja Initiate Keyboard!
- Czipo: Ooh! Sounds amazing!
- Quiet Band Member: Arfey. Guitarist. Student. Charmony Academy.
- Arfey: Call me by my name. I don't need any ninja nicknames.
- Rappa: Ninja Initiate Guitar, we will take to the stage together, and thus should possess names that befit our mutual standing, and also allow other ninja to carve the memory of your poise in their minds.
- Arfey: ...I'm here to perform a serious show. You can excuse me if you're into pointless hype and role playing.
- Nervous Band Member: I... I'm a Dreamweaver Academy student who plays the bass... My name is... Dafanchy.
- Dafanchy: My classmates will call me... Never mind. It's nothing! Mm, that's all.
- Rappa: Ninja Initiate Bass, Cosmic Ninjutsu may be mercurial, but never depart from its source. There is a mantra that you must always remember. That is...
- Rappa: When you say your name, your voice must be resounding! Your aura must send tremors through your opponent's spirit!
- Dafanchy: I... I! ...I can't do it...
- Rappa: Stay composed. Once you undergo my training, you will surely see improvement.
- Rappa: Lastly, our Dazzling Sound Ninja school must have an official name. I will let our Sound Master decide! But remember — the ninja spiritual name of the Dazzling cannot be discarded!
- Let's just call ourselves the Dazzling Band!
- Rappa: Band... Such a succinct name, elegant yet unostentatious. The Sound Master is a most pragmatic leader indeed.
- Rappa: Then, this will be our school's official name?
- Let this be it!
- Give me another minute...
- Rappa: Let us not be hasty. The naming of a school is a monumental task. My lord ought to be more prudent.
- Let's call it the Dazzling Collective!
- Rappa: Dazzling Collective... Such a name radiates with ninja countenance — you are a true advanced ninja upholding the Baseball Bat Ninja's name.
- Rappa: Then, this will be our school's official name?
- Let this be it!
- Give me another minute...
- Rappa: Let us not be hasty. The naming of a school is a monumental task. My lord ought to be more prudent.
- Let's call it the Dazzling Airship!
- Rappa: Airship... Indeed, our sound ninja's stage is akin to a ninja airship that elevates the audience to stratospheric heights!
- Rappa: Then, this will be our school's official name?
- Let this be it!
- Give me another minute...
- Rappa: Let us not be hasty. The naming of a school is a monumental task. My lord ought to be more prudent.
- Let's call it the Dazzling Initiate Hotel!
- Rappa: Hotel... I do not fully grasp its meaning, but I reckon it evokes a rather artistic image.
- Rappa: Then, this will be our school's official name?
- Let this be it!
- Give me another minute...
- Rappa: Let us not be hasty. The naming of a school is a monumental task. My lord ought to be more prudent.
- Let's call it the Dazzling School Party!
- Rappa: Party... Just hearing the name itself, one would know that we sound ninjas will send the other ninja into a rapture, and it matches the bustle of Paperfold Town!
- Rappa: Then, this will be our school's official name?
- Let this be it!
- Give me another minute...
- Rappa: Let us not be hasty. The naming of a school is a monumental task. My lord ought to be more prudent.
- Rappa: Very well, (Dazzling Band/Dazzling Collective/Dazzling Airship/Dazzling Initiate Hotel/Dazzling School Party)'s sound ninja congregation is adjourned!
- Rappa: If everyone is still interested, please follow me in the inspection of the training battleground.
- (Unlock Achievement Musical Rhapsody)
Give me another minute...Go check out the stage with Rappa[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
The band has been created. Go check out the stage with Rappa.
- (Approach the stage)
- Montana: Oh. Lady Rappa of the Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions! It's my first time meeting you... and the Festive Superstar!
- Montana: No, wait, the trendy way to greet right now is... Yo! (Trailblazer) Ninja, Dazzling Ninja Hero! Trendy Ninja, reporting in!
- Montana: To be honest, I'd already heard that Lady Rappa would be leading the band, so I volunteered to accept the setup for the central stage. Just ask me if you wanna know anything!
- Montana: I say that... but what the band has to do is actually pretty simple — to complete their song performance before the show starts proper.
- Pom-Pom! Where's my phonograph?
- Dafanchy: It's probably... unusable. According to school regulations, the music party bands... must play their own original songs.
- They have to be original?
- Arfey: Of course. If any existing piece could be used to complete the show, the quality of this party would be rock-bottom.
- Rappa: Hm.... Hm. Hm. The path to victory in this battle grows clearer before my very eyes.
- Rappa: Treading on the stage is akin to stepping onto the battlefield! I am a Ninja Hero, and the audience is the enemy — success or failure lies entirely betwixt our fingers.
- Rappa: To attain the most stellar victory, (Dazzling Band/Dazzling Collective/Dazzling Airship/Dazzling Initiate Hotel/Dazzling School Party) must make utmost preparations.
- Arfey: There's not much time left to practice. Let's tie down the composition.
- Arfey: According to tradition, the music party's performance pieces are all decided by Charmony Academy. So, I propose that we still...
- Rappa: Hold it! I don't think this is appropriate. A sound ninja must fervently observe the duty of studying the Sound Release ninjutsu, to transcend the self and rise above the mundane.
- Rappa: The newly-formed way of the sound ninja's tenets may be arduous, which is why the Head Ninja must rise to the occasion. Therefore, the task of creating the composition has befallen me!
- Arfey: Hang on, do you know how to compose a song?
- Yeah, do you?
- What other surprises are you keeping from me?
- Rappa: Heh-heh-heh, I trained with Master Kucha for ten years, and mastered countless trials. Such a meager Sound Release ninjutsu technique is naturally mere child's play.
- Rappa: It's just that... time has not been a kind mistress, and I struggle to recall that specific ninjutsu. My memory could be jogged if I obtain even the slightest inspiration.
- Arfey: ...Will you really?
- Czipo: It's okay, I will! Pretty lady, let me help.
- Rappa: Sound Master! I beseech you with a request: Could you travel the worlds and collect music compositions for my inspiration?
- Rappa: There may be different Sound Release ninjutsu styles, but our essence is very simple: "Rhythm is a record of the world, not conjured from thin air."
- Rappa: There are opportunities to train everywhere. I hope you will gain insight during this journey, to better aid me.
- Sounds complex...
- You sure I'm going to understand this?
- Dafanchy: I think... what the Chief Ninja means is that music is always around us, that you can take a look around and help her collect inspiration for compositions. That's... probably what she means?
- Rappa: Yes! This is why you're a friendja. You're after my own heart!
- Rappa: Finding the compositions will be left to Sound Master, and as for everyone else, please follow me back to the training ground to commence sound training.
- Rappa: I... will definitely train everyone into outstanding ninjas who do not fear any stage!
- After the decision was made, Rappa went off to check out the venue...
- Montana: ...The Festive Superstar! I have something to ask! That is... can I join you all too?
- Montana: I overheard everything about Lady Rappa's arrangements. I may not be adequately qualified to become a sound ninja, but if it's about gossip... I mean, I'm excellent at intel gathering work!
- Montana: Who's dating who among the students, which teacher is being constantly berated by the academy's representative, and who's getting laid off, I've got all that info at my fingertips!
- Montana: I can ask around for you, organize the information, label their locations... It'll be super convenient for you! Please let me join! Boohoo!
- Yes, I'll do it.
- Sorry, I prefer to do it myself.
- Are you serious? You sure you want to reject a passionate, helpful student, and choose to run yourself ragged all over the cosmos?
- You must know that though this is a school, it's not like you're going to bump into bands along every hallway — not every student you accost is going to be some guitarist hero. Such a thing like inspiration... it comes when you least expect it.
- Yes, I'll do it.
- Montana: Awesome! I'll post a message in the group now. Just give it a moment. Someone will reply real quick.
- You watch as Montana's fingers rapidly tap on the screen, finally realizing why Dr. Primitive didn't choose to turn humans into other animals — fingers are really handy.
- Montana: Got it! Can't beat the collective intellect of group chat. I've got it all here for you. Take a look!
Help Rappa collect inspiration for composing a song[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
The band can only perform original works, and Rappa took over all the work involving composition. You need to collect enough inspiration to help her with composing.
- (Listen to the band, optional)
- Arfey: You sure this leader is reliable?
- Czipo: A very interested young lady filled with charm. I've never met such a special student.
- Dafanchy: She looks confident. There shouldn't be a problem... should there?
- Dafanchy: At least she's better than me...
- Arfey: I never should've asked you all. There's not much time left before the first show. We'll talk about this after finishing the school's task.
- Arfey: I hope she'll be a little more serious during practice.

Wander around Belobog's plaza, to help Rappa collect inspiration for composing.
Return to the rehearsal room[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
The inspiration required for composing music has all been collected. Go back and see how the rehearsal is going.
- (Approach the room)
- ???: ...A performance that is truly worthy of ninja-like swiftness! Absolutely overwhelming! However... it can be even faster!
- (Approach Rappa)
- Rappa: Oh! Master, you've successfully returned! Quickly, come take a look at the fruits of the Dazzling's special extreme training!
- Arfey: ...
- Arfey: Don't get the wrong idea or anything. I'm only dressed like this because it's part of the show. I'll cooperate, but only to a certain extent.
- Czipo: I think it's fine. A band needs to look snappy! Ms. Rappa, your design is most excellent!
- Dafanchy: The bass tweaked by Rappa... it's working smoothly.
- Rappa: What does Sound Master think? Does it have the vibe of a Dazzling Sound Ninja?
- Are you excluding me from the cosplay party?
- Rappa: This is a sound ninja's tailor-made attire — the Vibrant Dazzling Ninjutsu Warsuit!
- Rappa: One, including you, would be hard-pressed to master such a ningu without undergoing rigorous training.
- This is what I most wanted to see!
- Rappa: Thank you! This is a sound ninja's tailor-made attire — the Vibrant Dazzling Ninjutsu Warsuit!
- Rappa: Striking fear into opponents' hearts the moment you step on to the stage, your slightest movement capturing the attention of all — such a specialized ningu is essential for the battle performance!
- Arfey: Even if it's to boost our stage presence, why must we cover our faces?
- Rappa: The town may seem serene, but dark tides threaten to surge forth. Scoundrels bicker among themselves, and we mustn't lower our guard, oblivious to the surrounding dangers.
- Arfey: ...Whatever you say. There's not much time left. Hurry up and finish up the composition. We have to start playing.
- You tell Rappa about your strange experiences in detail...
- Rappa: My judgment was sound about you. Your sound ninja aptitude is beyond average.
- Rappa: To be able to glean such a wealth of inspiration from mere observation of musical phenomena, you are truly... ingenious!
- Rappa: Hmm. Is this the "enlightenment" of which Master Kucha spoke? I must devote myself to composing, ensuring that I do not squander Sound Master's utmost efforts.
- So you really know how to compose then?
- Rappa: We have been acquainted with each other for long. When have I ever been dishonest?
- Rappa: The ninja tenets we pursue may differ, but my creed in the ninja world has always been to keep my word — I have never reneged in this regard.
- Do you need my help to write the lyrics?
- Rappa: The Sound Release ninjutsu employed in this battle is the Wordless White Ninja String Vibration Wheel Dance. I would not trouble you for the wordsmithing.
- Rappa: Hmph... Hmm... Mm.
- Rappa: Disaster! I have been so absorbed in our discourse that I've completely forgotten the tune I recalled!
- Rappa: This is bad, very bad. I will enter recluse and immerse myself in creation. If you aren't busy, you might have a chat with the other sound ninja.
- Rappa: Please allow me a moment of silence...
Chat with band members and wait for Rappa to finish composing songs[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
Rappa is immersed in composing music. Use this time to chat with the other band members.
- (Interact with Rappa, optional)
- Rappa: Hhhnnnggghh-hnngh-hnngh-haahey!
- (Trailblazer): (Rappa really is churning her creative juices. I'd better not bother her.)
- (Interact with Rappa the 2nd time, optional)
- Rappa: Hnngh... Hnngh... Hnngh... Hnngh... Hnngh...Hnngghh...
- (Trailblazer): (Rappa really is churning her creative juices. I'd better not bother her.)
- (Interact with Rappa the 3rd time, optional)
- Rappa: Hnngh... Hnngh... Hnngh... Hnngghh... Hhhnngh-hnngh-hnngh-hnngh...Hnngghh... Hnngh!
- (Trailblazer): (Rappa really is churning her creative juices. I'd better not bother her.)
- (Subsequent interactions with Rappa, optional)
- Rappa: ...Sound Master!
- Rappa: My meditation is being interrupted. Even an outstanding ninja such as myself cannot withstand such disruption! I ask for leave from this place! Excuse me!
- (Teleport outside the rehearsing room)
- (Talk to Arfey)
- Arfey: (Mr./
Ms.) Manager, I'm very concerned about something. - Arfey: This Rappa who's supposed to be the band leader, and was even acknowledged by the academy... Does she really know music?
- Perhaps.
- It's hard to say.
- She's SSR grade in music.
- Arfey: Her words hardly even make much sense, and she lacks basic cooperative capability and understanding of teamwork. If she's unqualified but continues to bear the heaviest responsibility, this performance runs a huge risk... Our futures will be affected if we flop on stage.
- You must trust your bandmates.
- How about we cancel the show then?
- Arfey: The show's promotion has already started. It's too late to say that now.
- The greater the risk, the bigger the surprise!
- Arfey: ...Forget it. I'll trust in you and the academy, and wait till the first show ends to pass judgment... Just don't expect too much out of it.
- (Talk to Arfey again, optional)
- Arfey: I'll trust in you and the academy, and wait till the first show ends to pass judgment... Just don't expect too much out of it.
- (Talk to Dafanchy)
- Dafanchy: The bass is so hard. Why can't I get it right...
- It's okay. It's fine as long as you can make sounds.
- Dafanchy: The bass may not be the highlight in a band, but I still want to play it better.
- Don't worry. I don't know how to play, either.
- Dafanchy: Thank you for comforting me. You're the band manager though, you don't have to get on stage.
- Dafanchy: Before coming to the rehearsal room, I've never even played with friends before, nor have I performed on stage. I taught myself to play from dream bubbles.
- Dafanchy: Maybe... I shouldn't even have joined the band to begin with.
- I mean, you're already here, though!
- Don't stress yourself out too much.
- Dafanchy: Mm, thank you.
- (Talk to Dafanchy again, optional)
- Dafanchy: Maybe... I shouldn't even have joined the band to begin with.
- (Talk to Czipo)
- Czipo: Hey, (Mr./
Ms.) Manager, I have a question. Umm... are you and Rappa really close? - Czipo: To be honest, I'm trying to get to know her better, but I haven't found a good way. Can you help me out?
- Czipo: Like... Ms. Rappa's background, where she's from, what she usually likes to do. With this info, I can learn more about her, use the right moves, and eliminate all obstacles. That'd be great.
- Why're you interested in Rappa?
- Czipo: Because she's super charming! I grew up on Penacony, and have been hopping from one party to another since young. I've met countless dreamscape celebrities and stars, but never one as special as Ms. Rappa...
- Czipo: Her gorgeous looks, her refreshing speech, that unpredictable way of thinking, and that inexplicably confident swagger.
- Czipo: Ah, my heart has already been kidnapped by Ms. Rappa. My life may never know tragedy nor joy ever again.
- ...You can stop sucking up to her.
- Czipo: No no, you're mistaken. I'm not a sleazeball, and my admiration for Ms. Rappa is a kind of pining for something beautiful!
- Please don't be angry, and hear me out!
- Czipo: So tell me, where's Ms. Rappa from?
- ...Edo Star.
- Czipo: Never heard of that place, but it sounds interesting!
- ...Penacony.
- Czipo: Huh? That can't be right. I've never met Ms. Rappa before. Could it be because of those so-called ninja stealth skills?
- ...The Ninja Capital.
- Czipo: I've seen this place name in Cosmic Ninjutsu Inscriptions. That must be Miss Rappa's hometown! I want to go visit!
- ...The Astral Express.
- Czipo: Hey, that's where you're from too. Are you telling me you and Ms. Rappa come from the same place?
- Czipo: ...What does Ms. Rappa like to do every day?
- ...Rap.
- Czipo: I like rap too! Looks like we share a common language!
- ...Graffiti.
- Czipo: I like rap too! Looks like we share a common language!
- ...Training in ninjutsu.
- Czipo: I like rap too! Looks like we share a common language!
- ...Rummaging through trashcans.
- Czipo: ...? What kind of weird hobby is this? Although... but it's a little hard to like that.
- Czipo: ...What does Ms. Rappa dislike most?
- ...Monkeys.
- Czipo: I know, I know. You're talking about the Slumbernana Monkey, right? That's super outdated, and it's normal to hate it.
- ...Raccoons.
- Czipo: Although it likes to rummage through trashcans, this animal is still quite interesting... right?
- ...Evil enemies.
- Czipo: Eradicating evil, and upholding justice, and enacting the ways of the cosmic ninja! I knew it, Ms. Rappa is indeed a true ninja!
- ...Empty trashcans.
- Czipo: ...? I don't understand what you're trying to say.
- Czipo: Thank you! You're my best buddy! I have an idea. Just wait for my good news!
- Let's talk about it after the performance
- Czipo: Sure, this is Ms. Rappa's band. I'll not disappoint her. If you have anything you want to say, feel free to look for me!
Why're you interested in Rappa?
- (Talk to Czipo again, optional)
- Czipo: This is Ms. Rappa's band. I'll not disappoint her.
Prepare to take the stage[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
All is ready. It's time to head to the battlefield!
- Rappa: Phew, thank you for waiting. The new Sound Release ninjutsu composition is complete. It's my proud creation, and there will be no mistakes.
- Rappa: Sound Master, I shall leave it to you to decide when I shall take to the field of battle.
- It is time for us to make our entrance!
- Rappa: The patch before us is long and fraught with danger. The anxious audience awaits with bated breath, ready for the Sound Release ninjutsu to set the stage ablaze!
- Rappa: Everyone in (Dazzling Band/Dazzling Collective/Dazzling Airship/Dazzling Initiate Hotel/Dazzling School Party), please follow me to the Sound Hunting Ground...
- Wait a moment...
- (Talk to Rappa again)
- Rappa: Sound Master, I am prepared and at the ready. I shall leave it to you to decide when it is time for battle.
- It is time for us to make our entrance!
- (Continue to Dialogue above)
- Wait a moment...
Wait a moment...
- (Talk to Dafanchy, optional)
- Dafanchy: I... will do what I can. But don't get your hopes up.
- (Talk to Czipo, optional)
- Czipo: Alright. Time to head onto a battlefield all our own!
- (Talk to Arfey, optional)
- Arfey: Well, there's no point in worrying now. Let's go. No time to hesitate.
- Dafanchy: S-so many people...
- Czipo: It's just a school party performance. I've seen plenty of crowds bigger than this. T-This is nothing.
- Arfey: We're about to go on. Remember to double-check your instruments. If you're still nervous, just close your eyes and let the music move for you. It's fine even if you play the notes wrong. Just follow my lead.
- Arfey: (Mr./
Ms.) Manager, you should say something to everyone before they go on. - (Say something proper)
- (Trailblazer): Err... treat every stage as if it's your last performance, and never fear mistakes. Let's give 'em a good show, everyone!
- Band Member: ...Yeah!
- (Say something funny)
- (Trailblazer): Don't worry! Your band manager is just getting warmed up. I'll take the heat if something really goes wrong!
- Band Member: Ohh... Ohhhhh!
- Rappa: Mm, the crowd has been warmed up enough. (Dazzling Band/Dazzling Collective/Dazzling Airship/Dazzling Initiate Hotel/Dazzling School Party), prepare to take the stage!
- Arfey: Hold on... where's your instrument?
- Rappa: My ningu, it is...
- Rappa: Ahem.
- Rappa: Everyone! We are (Dazzling Band/Dazzling Collective/Dazzling Airship/Dazzling Initiate Hotel/Dazzling School Party)! The Sound Ninja school that will slash open the decrepit curtains of old like a sharp blade!
- Audience: YEAAAAH!!!
- Rappa: It is our first time on stage, so I'll keep it short. Please look forward to the super-excitingly fabulous show that the sound ninja and I are about to bring you!
- Rappa: ...Let the Sound Hunt begin!
- ...Let's go!
Ask the live audience for their reviews of the band's performance[]
- Step DescriptionYou've become the manager of the music party's performing band, and now your band needs to complete 3 performances on the stage in the middle of the campus.
The first performance is happening. Ask the live audience about their reviews of the band's performance.
- (After composing the song)
- (Cutscene plays)
- (Cutscene ends)
- (Unlock Achievement Natsu Matsuri)
- Rappa: Thank you everyone! I am jubilant to have received such thunderous praise!
- Rappa: ...Why am I dressed like that? Roleplaying? Nay! This is my painstakingly designed Sound Ninja Fashion Garb!
- (Trailblazer): (The band's performance is a resounding success from the audience's reactions. Let's go ask what they think.)
- (Walk close to the stage, optional)
- Everyone yearns to be seen. Listening to the band's splendid performance, an impulse to light up the stage blooms in your heart.
