Octopath Traveler 2 - Dancer & Warrior Part 1

This one can be a little tedious, but luckily it is short. At the oasis, Hikari and Agnea meet a performer who continually hits them up for small amounts of money to perform a song. They do get the song in the end, which was not as I expected things to go here. If there is some sort of reference in the song, I'm afraid I did not get it.
