Midnight was only a couple of hours away, which was our target release time for the album, but a few songs and animation videos weren't finished yet-
I stayed at HQ with Jun and Miki and, even though they didn't need to, Aya, Tomokazu, and the girls also chose to stay with us.
I walked up and down the stairs, back and forth between the art office and the recording studio. There were several moments I thought we weren't going to make it on time, but Jun and Miki kept reassuring me we were.
With only twenty minutes to spare, Jun glued the last song to its animation and scheduled it, along with the rest of the album.
The nine of us headed to the dance studio, where we sat down on the floor in a circle, anxiously waiting for the clock to hit midnight. The closer the minutes got, the less we talked. Barely any sound echoed in the room throughout the last minute.
