Earphones holds a mini concert to commemorate the release of their debut single, with a small but dedicated turnout. Despite the others being more popular than her, Futaba feels pleased when at least one fan comes a long way to see her. Later, Futaba is called in for a narration job at a TV studio, where she observes the dedicated performance of Yūji Machi. As Futaba struggles with recording her segment due to not getting the script and video until the last minute, Machi assures her that everyone goes through those troubles, allowing her to give a more relaxed performance.
