Seeking to broaden Happy Around!'s musical range, Rei experiments with various instruments. She initially achieves success playing traditional Japanese instruments, including the taishōgoto, shakuhachi, and ōtsuzumi. However, the other members express concerns regarding the difficulty of integrating these sounds into their songs. Rinku then introduces African instruments for Rei to play. These new additions ultimately prove popular with fans, validating the effort to expand the group's sonic palette beyond their initial traditional approach.
