This audio is a short guide to help you experience the work as smoothly as possible.

As you listen, please scroll through the screen in front of you, keeping pace with the audio, and listen all the way to the end.
Let's begin.

Thank you for joining us for "Cat Town."
This work is a piece of immersive theater that brings together an audio experience and live performance.
To enjoy it fully, please follow the four rules we are about to share.

Rule 1: Set your smartphone to airplane mode.

If message or social media notifications arrive during the performance, they may disrupt your experience.
Please don't forget to switch to airplane mode when the performance begins.

Rule 2: Do not stop the playback.

Once you press play, please let it run to the very end without pausing.
Even if the voice goes silent along the way, never stop the audio or take off your earphones.

Rule 3: Match your walking pace to the footsteps.

When you hear this rhythm of footsteps, walk slowly in time with it.
Let's try walking a little.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

The tempo is a little slower than usual, and it may feel unsettling at first. But that is exactly what brings certain scenery and stories into view.
Take in the town around you, and walk slowly and at ease, in time with the footsteps.
And when the footsteps stop, please stop too.

Rule 4: When you hear the bell, play the next audio.

A bell will be rung at the starting point of the performance, and at several places the audio will lead you to.
When you hear the bell, please start the next audio track yourself.

Now, let's practice moving on to the next audio track.

You heard the bell just now.
First, tap the title at the bottom of the screen that says "introduction 1."

The tab you tapped should have expanded upward.

Can you see the play/pause button in the middle?
Tap the ▶▶ button to its right.
Tapping it will take you to the next audio track.
