Oh dude... we're not even close to get into a competition... the goal is just to be able to play at a convention, and then I can tick off an item to my to do list in life 
On a separate matter, I just realized something while practicing out Cagayake Girls... base on the pitch of the end part, and confirmed on the youtube tab, one needs a B-E-A-D-G 5 string guitar to play it! I was trying to find the note on my bass and realized that it slid way beyond the E string!!! Which means that Mio's bass (the Fender Jazz Bass, which is a 4-string bass) would have NEVER been able to play the full song!!! Could try to down tune the E string in the middle of the song, but it'll make playing the part slightly before this low tone phase VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY.
And as shown is some of the videos posted, some 4 string players just 'buat sendiri' that portion.

Not necessarily for Cagayake Girls . Even MIO was only using a 4 string bass . I know what are you talking about the pitch near the end of the song . You can just tune it from E to D on your string and play on the 8th fret rather than the 4th fret. If not ... Just play on E string but higher fret to make it sound like a D string. 4 string is enough for me xD ... I don't like 5 string as it makes the bass looks bigOn a separate matter, I just realized something while practicing out Cagayake Girls... base on the pitch of the end part, and confirmed on the youtube tab, one needs a B-E-A-D-G 5 string guitar to play it!

This might not the best cover but it shows that you can make it possible by tuning it before the last chorus.
