「ビートに抱かれて (When Doves Cry)」 (Bīto ni Idakarete) "In the Embrace of the Beat" Is anyone else wondering whether music plays a part in this show?
Listeners – 03
「ユー・メイド・ミー・リアライズ」 (Yū meido mī riaraizu) "You Made Me Realise" Rookies without a path no more! These two are on their way to stardom at the rate they're going.
Listeners – 01

「グッバイ・ブルー・スカイ (Goodbye Blue Sky)」 (Gubbai Burū Sukai) "Goodbye Blue Sky" Poor, poor Echo.
