Transcript
※The following is an unofficial fan translation
“I’m Shiho Hinomori, the bassist for Leo/need.”
“…and that’s a wrap. Now, I’ll just play a quick solo and we should be good…”
[plays bass]
“That was too short, you say?”
“But what else can I talk about…”
“How did I become interested in music?”
“I’ve always liked it. My mom is a koto instructor, and my dad plays guitar in a band.
“…Now what else? Ah, you want to know why I chose to play the bass instead of the guitar?”
“It’s because I like it. And there’s a certain band that I really respect.”
“The bassist for that band once said, ‘The bass has the power to control the mood of the entire music hall.’”
“That really hit home for me… and so I decided to play the bass, too.”
“…my hobbies?”
“I practice playing my bass whenever I have time. I guess I also enjoy going to concerts for bands that I like.”
“As for hobbies outside of music… I don’t really have any.”
“For the longest time, whenever I start to like something, I’d always get completely immersed in it, be it a picture book or a video game… and right now, it’s the bass.
“…huh? My big sister? Why do I have to talk about her?”
“She’s got nothing to do with the band.”
“Well, if I have talk about her… I’d say she sticks out like a sore thumb and keep showing her face at the freshman classrooms, so I told her to stop coming.”
“It’s not that I hate her or anything. But I just like to be left alone.”
“Look, I’m not doing this part of the MC portion during the real show. There’s no point in talking about stuff other than music.”
“Anyway, I take this band and all that we do seriously.”
“I spare no time or effort at all to be able to put on the best possible performance that I can presently do.”
“All the more so if it’s with the four of us…”
“….nah, it’s nothing.”
“Alright, is that enough MC practice for today?”
“It’d be a waste of time to not get in some band practice, too. So come on, let’s get to it.”

“That session was just awful… however…”
Message from Yuki Nakashima
“I voice Shiho Hinomori-chan, a stoic girl who really loves music and tends to come across as being un-talkative and even a little scary. But in reality, she’s very sweet and cares about her friends a lot!”
“I’m looking forward to spending more time with Shiho-chan!”
“We hope you continue to support Shiho Hinomori-chan, Leo/need, and all of Project SEKAI!”
**UPDATE ON JULY 26, 2020**
“If we’re gonna start a band, we better practice seriously.”
