Dialogue
My client this time is looking for this song that she remembers from her childhood. She can't remember what it is called, all she can do is hum the part of the melody
I asked around at a lot of music stores. In the end, it was Miss Elfy over the road from you guys who gave me a lead
I see.
So you want to know about videotapes with adverts, right?
Yes! I knew you'd be able to help. So do they even make those kinds of videotapes? A collection of advert jingles
There's Black LP Player
Black LP Player should be the one
Alright
Sure, I'll have a look
- (If the player hasn't collected the videotape yet)
- (Otherwise)
We've got Black LP Player
We've got that videotape that you were looking for
The pleasure is all mine! Are you coming over?
Are you going to come grab it now?
- (Wait until the next day)
- (Idle)
- Rina: Hope you can find the song that you want...
- (Talk to Rina)
- Rina: Hello, Manager. I'm here to pick up the videotape like we said.
Mmm, this is the one. "Black LP Player"- Rina: Thank you, I'll go and register for this rental right now.
Oh yeah — do you have a combo where you can also rent a VCR, too?
We don't. Do you not have a VCR?- Rina: Mmm, Victoria Housekeeping doesn’t have anything that plays videotapes, so if I want to watch a videotape, I’ll also have to borrow a VCR machine.
Come watch with me in the store, then!- Rina: Huh? Really? Of course, it’d be nice if someone helped me find the song...
But wouldn’t that get in the way of your daily work?
We can let 18 handle the work
Checking videotapes for content is also part of my daily work- Rina: I see. Then it'll be my pleasure. Please watch it with me!
- And so you watch "Black LP Player" together with Rina in the workshop.
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
"Advertising Secrets"
Story Description: You and Rina watch the movie "Black LP Player" together. During the movie, a minor operational error leads to accidentally recording Rina's unexpected side.
- Rina: Oh, this is the song! I didn't expect to find it after just the third advertisement.
Looks like we're in luck.
We're done already.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Looks like we're in luck. We're done (already.already. /
already!already!) - Rina: Do you mind if I finish watching this videotape here?
Be my guest...
Is there something specific you want to watch?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Be my guest... but most of the latter part is just ads. Is there a specific scene you want to watch?
- Rina: Not really. It's just that, well... I've suddenly found myself drawn to those advertising phrases I haven't heard for ages. Here's a little secret — I'm really good at memorizing advertising slogans.
- Rina: During my childhood, TV was off-limits for me, except for that half-hour after dinner when I joined my family to watch the news together.
- Rina: But I had no interest in the news back then. Instead, I was more interested in the ads that came after it.
- Rina: So I started playing a game memorizing the advertising slogans with my family.
Memorizing advertising slogans...
What kind of game is that?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Memorizing advertising slogans... What kind of game is that?
- Rina: It was just a little memory-training game to them, but for me, it was away of a [sic] getting to watch the ads just a little longer.
- Rina: Since we have the chance, why don't you give it a go, instead of me just explaining it? As for the rules... We just need to adjust them slightly given we're watching on a tape.
- Rina: You take the remote. You can press pause at any time. Then, I'll recite the next line of the ad's slogan.
Are you sure you still remember them?
Those ads are pretty old.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Those ads are pretty old. Are you sure you still remember them? Well, get ready!
- You and Rina begin the ad slogan memory game. When will you press pause...
Right at the beginning of the ad!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Perfect! (II /
Hehe, IHehe, I) managed to press pause just 0.1 seconds into the ad! Can you guess what ad it is, Rina? - Rina: Oh, dear! You're starting this with a tricky one! That's the spirit!
- Rina: But the answer is pretty obvious with that hint of a curved pattern on the screen! This is an ad for "Leman," and the next line goes, "Be young and enjoy the sour!"
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Perfect! (II /
At a random time.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Pause! (OkayOkay /
SoSo) Rina, what's the ad slogan? - Rina: Easy-peasy. This is an ad for the Focus camera, and the next line is, "Whatever matters to you is our focus."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Pause! (OkayOkay /
- She answered that correctly... The next question has to be more challenging...
Pause when there is nothing on the screen!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Okay, pause! (I managed to capture a white screen with nothing on it. Can you guess what ad it is?I managed to capture a white screen with nothing on it. Can you guess what ad it is? /
Hehe, I deliberately picked a scene with only a white background. Not so easy this time, huh?Hehe, I deliberately picked a scene with only a white background. Not so easy this time, huh?) - Rina: Hmm... a picture like this can only be one product. This is an ad for Cap'n Cow, and the white background is actually a sea of milk.
- Rina: Cap'n Cow, who sits on a hat, emerges from the milk to recite his next line, "Moo! I command you to grow up fast!"
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Okay, pause! (I managed to capture a white screen with nothing on it. Can you guess what ad it is?I managed to capture a white screen with nothing on it. Can you guess what ad it is? /
Pause at a random time.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Pause! C'mon then, Rina! (What's the next line?What's the next line? /
Tell me the line!Tell me the line!) - Rina: Ahahaha, this is an easy one too. This is an ad for Cap'n Cow, and the next line is, "Moo! I command you to grow up fast!"
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Pause! C'mon then, Rina! (What's the next line?What's the next line? /
- (Both choices lead to the following)
Did you... "Moo"?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Did you just "moo"... Like a cow?
- Rina: I didn't throw it in just for fun. It's part of the slogan, I'm just trying to replicate it as faithfully as possible~
If even that didn't faze you...
It's time to play the trump card!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): If even that didn't faze you, it's time to play the trump card! I'll play the ad at double speed backwards... then pause it suddenly!
- Rina: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid that won't make it any more difficult in the slightest. This is an ad for the Bubble Moon detergent. It's a fun little song, and the next line goes...
- Rina: "You smell good, I smell good, everyone smells good!"
You got all the questions right.
How many ads did you watch when you were little?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Amazing! You got all the questions right... How many ads did you watch when you were little?
- Rina: Ahaha, it feels like I've watched every ad that aired during that time slot hundreds of times.
- Rina: Hmm? Manager? Does that red dot in the corner of the screen mean the VCR is recording this?
Oh no! Wrong button!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh no! I must have accidentally pressed the record button earlier...
- Rina: Does this mean that the original content will be deleted? I'm really sorry my little game has caused you trouble.
It's not just deleting the original content...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's not just deleting the original content... This VCR has more functions than you might think. It's also connected to the microphone in the workshop...
- Rina: Connected to the microphone? What do you mean?
Give me a moment...
I'll rewind and play it back...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Give me a moment. I'll rewind and play it back...
- (Rina's line, "You smell good, I smell good, everyone smells good!", can be heard from the recording)
- Rina: Ah... My voice is on the tape...
Looks like you've got it.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Looks like you've got it. The videotape has become "Black LP Player (Rina's Commentary Edition)."
- Rina: It would appear so~
But you'll delete it right away, won't you?- (More of the recording is played back)
- Rina: "Moo! I command you to grow up fast!"
Coincidences like this don't happen every day.
It'd be a shame to delete it...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Coincidences like this don't happen every day. It'd be a shame to delete it...
- Rina: I guess so?
I can't make myself delete it!
Why don't I just give it to you!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I... can't make myself delete it! How about you keep the videotape? Keep it or delete it — it's up to you!
- Rina: Hm? Keep it? Why give it to me when you can just record over it?
It's rare we get to capture a precious moment like this.
It's worth more than other videotapes now.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's rare we get to capture a precious moment like this. It's worth more than other videotapes now.
- Rina: ...I see your point. In that case, I won't insist on deleting it.
- Rina: Still, please don't show it to anyone else. I'm afraid it might reflect badly on the maids of Victoria Housekeeping...
- Rina: How about I rent the tape indefinitely? You've done so much for me already. I can't just keep a videotape without paying.
- Rina: Please put my name on the rental list, and if possible, I'd really appreciate the friend's discount~
Since you put it like that...
Of course!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Since you put it like that... I can't argue. (But because it's a rental item, you have to take good care of it!But because it's a rental item, you have to take good care of it! /
I'll write your name down. Take good care of the tape!I'll write your name down. Take good care of the tape!) - Rina: Don't worry. I'll treat it with the utmost care.
- Rina: I might even... take it out once in a while to reminisce about this moment.
- (Rina can now promote the video store)
- (Idle)
- Rina: I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
- (Talk to Rina again, optional)
- Rina: I didn't just find the song I was looking for. I got something even more surprising...
- Rina: I'm so lucky to know you, Manager. Thank you so much for your help.
