Mmmmmm, idk about that Aya, forcing an introvert in front of a crowd with all eyes on them so suddenly might not go as well as you think it will

Oh but this is perfect! They can sing one of the songs that they really love together! This might turn out really well!

Eh, it’s a gamble, but it might just work if she plays her cards right. It’s not the first time Koga’s been up on stage, after all, and she’ll have someone with her this time.

When the shy girl with eclectic music tastes suddenly gets dragged into a karaoke duet with her girl best friend that's when she becomes down cataclysmic (personal experience speaking)

Being forced into a position of vulnerability by someone you trust and may find attractive while they back you up is peak romance idc

I'm expecting great things from the next chapter.

Tbh, I went with "We'll sing" because of the hand on the shoulder, but the Japanese sentence is totally ambiguous.

It's just 歌います!! ("Singing!!" or "Will sing!!"). No pronouns.

So it's only my guess that she wants to sing a duet with Koga.

I don't think it would make sense for her to serenade Koga at this point.

Inb4 I have to change that sentence next week...

A duet is the only thing that makes sense in the context. Whether Mitsuki will go with it or not is another thing though, it MIGHT turn into a serenade in the end :P

Yeah, it's always a judgement call. The intent could be to parallel Koga's serenade from earlier in the series. So she could intend to sing on her own, here. I figured she's only leaning on Koga to raise her hand higher in excitement. But like you said, it could be a bit ambiguous and works either way. She's either singing to her or helping her feel more comfortable by singing with her.

No matter what it should be fun.

Having read the Japanese version before the translation, I understood that she will sing for her sake. The way I've read the last panel is in that order:
"今度は私があなたのために歌います"
"This time, for your sake, I'll sing"
as if she was finishing her thought out loud.

But I guess we'll have the answer next week!

After reading the twitter of Sumiko Arai, the Japanese readers in the comments understood that AYA will sing for Koga.

So I changed it.

We'll see next week.

Dash it all! There have to be more pages!!!

Going to be interesting to see what Aya chooses to sing. Perhaps a call back to the beginning where they first got talking about the Foo Fighters?

Are there any good grunge/alt rock duets, anyway? I can't think of any.

Kinda? Temple of the Dog had Chris Cornell on lead vocals with Eddie Vedder singing co-lead on some songs. And then there was Alice in Chains which had two singers singing dual vocals.

Everlong ain't a duet but it'd work great as one

Get it, player!! She's really trying her hardest <3

Yeah, she serenaded her! A little bumpy along the way but she's got the spirit and we've got love! Though her meaning still could be a bit ambiguous. Not sure what "love" she's talking about there. Guess we'll know for sure next chapter ish.
