Today,
everyone was looking back at some old PV footage together.
The very early MixPalette videos.
π
π§‘ Hinata
"Whoa!!
This is SO nostalgic!!"
π©΅ Ruka
"The vibe feels completely different now."
π©· Aine
"We were all so nervous back then."
Everyone was laughing while watching,
but thenβ¦
I noticed something.
π
π₯ Shiro
"β¦Huh?"
"Waitβ¦
Rei-san was dancing in the 1st PV?"
The room suddenly got quiet.
π
π§ Rei
"β¦β¦"
π§‘ Hinata
"You were dancing back then!"
π©· Aine
"You really looked like a proper idol too."
π
These days,
Rei-san feels so naturally tied to the DJ booth.
So seeing her
standing in formation with the other four members
felt strangely unfamiliar.
π
π§ Rei
"β¦Well.
I tried."
Everyone laughed a little at that answer.
π
But after a short pause,
Rei-san quietly looked at the old footage and saidβ
π§ Rei
"But honestlyβ¦
it was impossible for me."
π
π₯ Shiro
"Huh?"
π©΅ Ruka
"Ahβ¦
here we go again. lol"
π
Around the time of the 2nd PV,
Rei-san started doing solo videos.
Not the dark neon style she has now.
Back then,
it was brighter and more energeticβ
more like "DJ Rei!" from the beginning.
π
π§ Rei
"I always liked DJing more anyway."
π§ Rei
"Making music was way more fun for me."
π
π§‘ Hinata
"But when you suddenly went solo,
we were seriously surprised! lol"
π©· Aine
"You literally said,
'I can't dance anymore,'
with a completely straight face."
π§ Rei
"β¦Because it was true."
π
But then,
Aine-chan smiled softly and saidβ
π©· Aine
"But I didn't want Rei-chan to leave MixPalette."
π
π©· Aine
"So I told her,
'You don't have to dance.
Let's just do this together.'"
π
And then came the 3rd PV.
That's when MixPalette became
the "4 members + DJ"
group it is today.
π
π§‘ Hinata
"And THAT'S how MixPalette was born!!"
π©΅ Ruka
"That summary was way too simple. lol"
π Shizuku
"Butβ¦
it really does feel very MixPalette-like."
π
Rei-san looked a little embarrassed.
π§ Rei
"β¦Well.
It all worked out in the end."
Then,
she quietly replayed the old footage again.
On the screen was a younger Rei-sanβ
still awkward,
still figuring things out,
and not quite suited for the DJ booth yet π
