Summary
While at the society, Shinano brings up Yukari, Kaede and Maho will be in the 2nd year soon and 1st year students will be joining. Yukari and Maho wonder what she is on about. Shinano reveals she is going to have them do a concert at the welcoming ceremony with Yukari and Maho shocked at the idea and feel it is too sudden. Shinano mentions that it is already the beginning of March and it is the society's tradition. Yukari accepts in defeat while Maho wonders if the society has even been around for that long. Riko quietly confronts Shinano behind her back how it hasn't been 2 years since the society started and the actual founder was absent for a year, which causes Shinano to get nervous. Shinano quickly starts whispering to Riko how she has a good thing going currently and that it's a great opportunity for Yukari, Kaede and Maho to get a chance to play in a real concert. Riko then starts going at Shinano for not just telling them straight and questions if she's just using the tradition idea to hide her embarrassment with her also calling it lame. Maho wants to know what they've been whispering about.

On their way home, Maho worries what they're going to do with them only have Fuwa Fuwa Time. Kaede believes in Shinano's plan and then Maho instantly changes her mind and agrees with her with Yukari noticing again. Kaede suggests meeting at her place on the weekend, which makes Maho nervous wondering how she should introduce herself to her parents with Yukari telling her she's getting ahead of herself. On Sunday, Yukari and Maho are outside Kaede's house with Maho really nervous and Yukari asking what for. Kaede opens the door with Kano also there too. Maho not recognising her instantly bows her head and introduces herself with again Yukari telling her to calm down.

Once inside Kaede explains her parents are not home and for them to relax and enjoy themselves. Maho is sad she can't introduce herself to Kaede's parents yet with Yukari again noticing this. Yukari asks why Kano is here and Kaede explains they both live in the same neighbourhood with Kano adding in she gets called over often. Maho misunderstands this asking if they're in that kind of relationship then with a malicious look twirls her hair saying she had no idea with again Yukari noticing and telling her enough already. Kaede explains that she gets Kano to teach her bass all the time, with Yukari envious how she can't do that with drums. Kaede mentions that Kano has a lot of concert experience and Yukari asks her to teach them all about concerts. Kano reveals she's never actually been in front of an audience and how playing in front of people is scary. Yukari questions why she is in the Light Music Appreciation Society. Kano also reveals that it's just fun to play music with Shinano and Riko. She adds on how she thinks Yukari, Kaede and Maho should play the way they want too. Maho understands this feeling. Yukari also agrees to play and with Kaede practicing hard, she wants Riko to give her more tips too.

The next day Shinano is practicing when Kaede confronts her from behind which scares her. Kaede mentions how she didn't give them any time to prepare and the tradition was just being a lie. She then adds that she doesn't want to be left behind with both Yukari and Kaede wanting to do it and came to the resolution she has to ask Shinano to help play the guitar better. Shinano replies that she thought Maho wouldn't ask her because she sucked at teaching. Maho shows that she has made a list of questions as well as making them concise that even Shinano should understand. Shinano replies that she can't refuse a request like that, but stops Maho thanking her and says she wont be nice like Riko and will make her one hell of a guitarist.
