[Despite everything else, Rei does trust her. So if she says she won't tell, she believes it. (If she had danced around the issue, it'd be a different story, but she didn't!)
Rei doesn't want this responsibility, though. Picking songs, teaching Minako the words... where will it end?]
Let's just do the first one.
[There, that was easy (and dismissive) enough! Unfortunately for Rei, the first song on the album is... well...
Yeah, she's just going to keep her mouth shut through the whole intro chorus. Hoping there's a way out of this she just hasn't figured out yet.]
[ Of course Minako doesn't know the lyrics yet, but thank god there's lyrics included.. and she's good at improvising, so she's actually doing fairly well even though it might be the first time she's ever heard the song. Maybe it's some lingering instinct that crosses worlds or something like that - and hey, even if this Minako isn't an idol, it's not like she's a bad singer.
But it's not hard to notice that Rei isn't really singing along.. ]
I love you baby baby, switch off the lights, baby baby, kiss me--
.. Hey, it's no fun if you're not going to join in after all, you know?
[Sigh. Well, she held out as long as she could. Which wasn't long at all. At least the verse is a little calmer... she just has to take a deep breath and steel her nerves against how embarrassing this is going to be.]
The weather is good today, I see your reflection in the window...
[She starts off very quiet, but she doesn't even have to look at the lyrics. She's heard it all before, and not caring to learn it doesn't mean she wouldn't have ended up picking up on the words regardless.
She's not a bad singer either, if clearly not a professional by any stretch. Her deeper voice doesn't really match the song, but she can carry the tune well enough.]
I inscribe my love in my diary, same as usual.
[So glad there's no one else here to see this. She'll rise to the challenge for now, but she's going to make sure they never speak of this again.]
