MC: Vivid BAD SQUAD's just off the hook!! Spectator A: Whoa... They were good the last time I saw them, but did they get better since then...? Spectator B: Yeah, there's no stopping them either. They're gonna go places if they keep this up... Akito: (Nice, we're doing good. This is the most hyped the crowd's been today too...) Akito: (And...) Kohane & Toya: ——♪ ——♪ Akito: (Those two have been improving faster than I expected. They might even pass me if I'm not careful...) Akito: (...) Akito: (This almost feels nostalgic.

Akito: Alright... That might've been the best we've ever done. Toya: I agree. We connected well with the crowd too. An: I know, right?! That feeling's seriously the best! Kohane: Yeah...! My heart was pounding then! Akito: But we can't be satisfied with just this. Akito: We're gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND. This stuff has to come easy to us. An: We know! We just gotta keep practicing and do even better in our next event!

Toya: Hm? Akito, you're already here...? Do you always start warming up this early in the morning? Akito: It takes a while for me to get my throat warmed up. Our next event is coming up, so I need to be here two hours in advance during full practice days. Toya: I see. You really seem eager. Akito: Says you. Toya, I know you've been practicing on your own a lot more too. Toya: True. However, I wouldn't so much call it eagerness instead of something that just naturally started happening over time. Akito: Then we're one in the same. On top of that, I feel like we're finally hitting our stride as a team. Toya: Right... Akito: (To be fair, there's more to it than just that...) Akito: (Toya's been singing better ever since he got over whatever was going on between him and his dad.) Akito: (An isn't making the same mistakes she did when we first joined up anymore and really gets how to sing as a group now.) Akito: (And Kohane's been growing faster than any of us expected. Who knows how high her ceiling goes...?) Akito: ... Akito: (We're gelling as a team and finally even managed to catch a decent wave. I've gotta keep doing what I can too...) An: Hm? You two are super early! Kohane: Good morning, Shinonome, Aoyagi! Akito: Morning. You're here early too. An: Yeah, I thought that maybe I should start warming up sooner. But you're here an hour early... When exactly did you wake up?! Akito: Um... A little before 6 am? An: Really? That's way too early, gramps. Akito: You're here too, so that makes you a granny, right? An: Granny?! I'm a young high school girl, you know?! Kohane: Haha... Akito: Anyways, we're all here now, so let's get started. An: Oh, hold that thought! The four of us singing together here would cause a bunch of noise complaints. An: How about over there?

An: We're here! Hm? Do you hear that?
???: I'm so sorry! It was all my fault! Please, forgive me! Kohane: It sounds like a man...?
???: No way! I won't forgive you for this!
???: Yeah! That was Len's favorite, you know?! Toya: That sounds like Rin and Len... Maybe they're having an argument at MEIKO's place...? An: No idea, but let's go and take a look!*Hurried Footsteps*

An: MEIKO! Miku! What's going on here?
MEIKO: Oh, An. Welcome.
Miku: Well, I think you can see for yourself... Rin: How could you do that, KAITO?! Len was keeping that ice cream for later! Len: Yeah, I'd been saving it since yesterday! Kohane: KAITO... Wait, KAITO?! MEIKO: Yes. I'm not sure where he was this whole time, but he came in not too long ago. Miku: It may've on been a matter of time until we saw him here. Akito: Uh, sure...?
Len: Why did you eat my ice cream anyway?! KAITO: Well, I... I came by MEIKO's cafe and my stomach started to growl... KAITO: I thought that I should stop by and ask for something to eat, but MEIKO wasn't there. She might've been getting ready in the back. KAITO: I took the liberty of peeking into the freezer and I found your ice cream. KAITO: You two always have your names written on the ones that are reserved for you, so I thought that MEIKO left this one in there for me. MEIKO: More importantly, why do you keep rummaging through my freezer like that? KAITO: Oh, um... Len: Okay, it's my fault for not writing my name on it, but you should at least ask first...! KAITO: I'm sorry! In return... Oh, I know! I'll teach you how to use my sampler! Len: What?! Really?! Len: Well... If you'll teach me everything you know, then I might think about forgiving you... KAITO: Really? Oh, thank goodness! Kohane: What's a sampler...? Miku: It's a device that lets you record sounds, save songs and even mix them together however you like. I'm sure you've seen other DJs use them before. Akito: Wait a second, he's a DJ? MEIKO: Yes, he is. He's very good at it too and knows how to get a crowd going. Len's sort of an apprentice of his. Toya: Oh, I see. I'd like to hear him play sometime. KAITO: Hm...? Oh, is that...? MEIKO: Let me introduce you to them, KAITO. These are the ones that created this SEKAI. KAITO: Ah, okay! It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is KAITO! KAITO: But it is a little unfortunate to meet you under these circumstances. Haha...! Kohane: I-It's nice to meet you too...! Toya: Yes, it's our pleasure as well. Len: Hey, everybody! Since you're all here, wanna try being a DJ with us? KAITO said he'd show me a bunch of stuff! Akito: Sorry, but we're here for singing practice today... Len: Okay, fine... Maybe next time...! Anyways, KAITO, are you ready? KAITO: Yes, I am. Shall we get started? How about we try doing...*Object Falling*
*Airhorn*
Akito: What was that...? Kohane: That was such a strange sound. Like an airhorn or something... KAITO: Oh, also! You can even use sounds like this! Isn't it amazing? Akito: (He said he'd teach him how to use his sampler, but it sounds like they're just messing around...) Akito: (I know MEIKO said he's good, but he doesn't seem serious about it at all...) Akito: (Anyways, I have other things I need to worry about right now.) Akito: Okay, it's about time we got started. Getting here early won't mean anything if we keep being entranced by them. Akito: We're gonna practice like crazy and do even better at our next event! Kohane & An: Yeah!Transcripción

An: Yes, things went perfectly today too! I'm glad we practiced so much! Akito: Yeah, it was worth getting up so early every morning. Kohane: I agree! I'm so glad everything we practiced each morning turned out so well! Kohane: Oh, wait...! I left my phone inside! Sorry, I'll be right back... An: Really? I'll go with you.

Spectator A: Today was so awesome! And when did Vivid BAD SQUAD get this good? Spectator B: I know, right?! Almost as good as that other guy we saw! Akito: (That other guy...?) Spectator B: Yeah, they're pretty good too! I've never seen a crowd as pumped up as that one was! Spectator A: That guy also said something about putting on an event that surpassed RAD WEEKEND too... Spectator B: RAD WEEKEND, as in THE RAD WEEKEND...? I don't know much about it, but everyone's saying it's not possible. Akito: (Surpass RAD WEEKEND...?)*Footsteps*

Akito: Arata Tono, huh...? Toya: Apparently, he's been participating in quite a few events lately and has the singing voice to match. Toya: He's even openly claimed that he'll find a way to surpass RAD WEEKEND. An: Arata Tono... Akito: I didn't think anyone else would be out there chasing after RAD WEEKEND like we are... Akito: But we should take it as a challenge. We should see what we're up against. Kohane: Sh-Shinonome, you're scaring me a little...! Toya: Don't mind him, Azusawa. He makes that face more often than you think. Kohane: R-Really...? An: Wait, now I remember! An: This Arata, I think they've stopped by to talk to dad before! Akito: To Ken? An: Yeah! Like three years ago when we were still in junior high... Hey, daaad! An's Dad: Hm? Are you ordering something? An: No, not that. Do you remember talking to someone named Arata Tono? An's Dad: Arata Tono...? Oh, him! An: Yes! I knew it! An's Dad: Right, about three years ago, I'd say. He said he was going abroad to train, but I guess he's back now? Kohane: Abroad...? Is that why we don't know about him? An: Dad, what's this Arata person like? An's Dad: He's a good kid. He was still a junior high schooler when I first met him, but he had a natural talent for getting a crowd going. An's Dad: And he did mention something about surpassing RAD WEEKEND like you guys are... Kohane: Surpass RAD WEEKEND like us... An's Dad: A lot of other performers started looking out for him, and even his partner... Akito: Partner? He has a partner? An's Dad: Yeah, or he did... An's Dad: But I didn't know he was back and became this good... An's Dad: I'd like to see what he's like now too. Akito: I see... Toya: Even Ken thinks he might be the real deal. An: Yeah, now I'm really curious! Which event do you think he'll be in next? Kohane: Maybe we can look at his social media profile...?*Tap*
Kohane: Oh, here! He doesn’t have an account, but his fans are saying, I'm definitely going to your event next week! Apparently, at a live house right near here too. An: Really? Then we gotta go next week too! Akito: Yeah, I agree... Keep your schedules open, okay? Akito: (Arata Tono, huh...?) Akito: Thanks for having us, Ken. Toya: See you tomorrow, Shiraishi, Azusawa. Kohane: Yeah. Bye, Aoyagi, Shinonome. An: Later!

Akito: Hm? There's more people here than usual. Is there an event or something going on? Toya: Possibly. It looks like everyone's waiting in anticipation for something... Audience: I don't believe this! Arata's actually crashing this even! Audience: But I feel kinda bad for the guys that came before. Arata's gonna end up getting all the attention. Akito: Arata...? Audience: Oh! Here we go! Akito: It's him... ???: Hey... Whoa, so many people! Who are you all waiting for, anyways? Spectator A: Haha. You, Arata! Spectator B: Hey, come do a show at my friend's place! All the big names from around here will be there! Arata: Oh, really? I might just have to take you up on that! Toya: So that's Tono... We're about the same age. Toya: He seems very charming like Ken said. Akito: Yeah, he does... Akito: (But he wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND too? He doesn't seem all that serious about it but...) Akito: (No, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover...) Akito: (I have to actually see to make sure.) Akito: Let's go, Toya. Toya: Huh? Akito: We don't even have to wait until next week.

Spectator A: Hey, are you free after this? A few of my musician friends are getting together, so wanna join us? Arata: Oh, sorry! I have a date with a chocolate parfait after this show! I sort of can't miss it! Arata: Apologies, but I'll be... Hm? Akito: Hey. Akito: Sorry to interrupt you, but are you Arata Tono? Akito: I perform around here and have been hearing a lot of rumors about someone named Tono... Akito: So, would you mind if we could have a little chat? Audience: Wait, is that Akito...? Audience: You're right, it's him! Arata: Hm? I feel like I've seen you before... Akito: I'm Akito Shinonome. I sing for Vivid BAD SQUAD. Arata: Oh, Vivid BAD SQUAD! I've been to one of your events! Akito: Really? Thanks.*Hurried Footsteps*
Toya: Akito...! Arata: And you're his teammate too, no? Nice to meet you, I'm Arata Tono. Toya: Oh, um... It's nice to meet you. My name is Toya Aoyagi. Akito: We're partners on the same team. Arata: Partners, huh...? Arata: I see. Good for you. Toya: (What was that? Something's changed all of the sudden...) Akito: Would you mind us asking a quick question, Tono? Arata: Of course, if it's something I can answer. Akito: Then... Is it true that your dream is to surpass RAD WEEKEND? Arata: ...! Arata: Yes, it is. Well, to put it into better perspective... Arata: I don't want to surpass RAD WEEKEND, I will surpass it. Akito: Tono, were you actually at RAD WEEKEND...? Arata: Oh, of course! My best friend was really into music and dragged me along to go see it. Arata: We sort of got caught up in the moment and decided that we'd put on an even bigger event together. Arata: So in a way, it's not my dream to surpass RAD WEEKEND, rather my friend's... Toya: But we heard that you've been participating in events on your own... Arata: Yes, I have. Well, things happened. Arata: Now, I'm working to surpass it all on my own. Akito: Surpass RAD WEEKEND on your own...? Akito: You're being serious? Akito: If you were actually there, you'd know that it's not realistic for just one person to do that on their own... Arata: Oh, I'm more than aware of that. Arata: But I believe that I am more capable of doing that than you. Akito: What? Toya: Wait... Arata: You also wish to surpass RAD WEEKEND too, no? Akito: So you knew... Arata: Yes, I did. I started hearing rumors just after I came back. Arata: That Vivid BAD SQUAD wants to put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND. Toya: I see... Arata: But you've honestly been a disappointment... Arata: I was hoping for more since Ken spoke so highly of your team. Akito: Huh? What exactly do you mean by that...? Arata: My, what a scary face. Excuse that last comment. Arata: However, my declaration still stands. You do not have what it takes to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Arata: With time, I'm sure you'll go somewhere, but I'll have long since succeeded by then. Akito: You... Akito: I still haven't seen you perform, but I wouldn't get so cocky now either. Arata: Oh, it's nothing like that. I'm just speaking my mind. Akito: What...?! Arata: It still hasn't gotten through to you yet, so let me explain it in simpler terms... Arata: Aoyagi, was it? You seem to have quite an ear and perfect pitch to match. Your incredible talents are going to waste. Arata: And that An girl has been doing well for herself too. Ken's daughter should be able to do as much, but she still needs more polishing... Arata: And that other girl, I forget her name... She has some manner of singing talent, but still too amateurish during live performances. Arata: I would never have let her join in the first place. Toya: ... Akito: You...! Arata: And above all else... Akito: I've heard enough...! Akito: All this talk means you have to be that much better than us, right?! Arata: Oh, naturally. Akito: Then let's find out who's actually better. You or us. Toya: What...? Akito: If we can get this crowd more pumped up than you, you'll take back what you just said.

Toya: Um... Akito: You can sing, right? You sounded fine just now, Toya. Toya: Are you sure you want to do this? What good can actually come out of this...? Akito: Then what do you suggest we do? Akito: We can't just let him rag on us like that...! Akito: Besides, you don't have to do it, because I will. Toya: No, I'll sing too. Toya: I'm your partner. You're not doing this alone. Akito: Let's keep this simple. You can choose any song you like and the one that gets the crowd more pumped up is the winner. Arata: Fine, so be it. Who goes first? Akito: We are. We're gonna end things before you even get a chance. Arata: Haha. Your confidence is commendable. But you'll need more than that to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Akito: I know. That's all we've been working towards this whole time. Akito: We're not doing this for fun. Arata: Not doing this for fun, huh...? Audience: Everything's all set! So, who's going first? Akito: We are. Akito: FYI, we're not hold back. Arata: Be my guest. Give it everything you have. Akito & Toya: ♪ ————!*Cheering*

Spectator A: Hey, are you free after this? A few of my musician friends are getting together, so wanna join us? Arata: Oh, sorry! I have a date with a chocolate parfait after this show! I sort of can't miss it! Arata: Apologies, but I'll be... Hm? Akito: Hey. Akito: Sorry to interrupt you, but are you Arata Tono? Akito: I perform around here and have been hearing a lot of rumors about someone named Tono... Akito: So, would you mind if we could have a little chat? Audience: Wait, is that Akito...? Audience: You're right, it's him! Arata: Hm? I feel like I've seen you before... Akito: I'm Akito Shinonome. I sing for Vivid BAD SQUAD. Arata: Oh, Vivid BAD SQUAD! I've been to one of your events! Akito: Really? Thanks.*Hurried Footsteps*
Toya: Akito...! Arata: And you're his teammate too, no? Nice to meet you, I'm Arata Tono. Toya: Oh, um... It's nice to meet you. My name is Toya Aoyagi. Akito: We're partners on the same team. Arata: Partners, huh...? Arata: I see. Good for you. Toya: (What was that? Something's changed all of the sudden...) Akito: Would you mind us asking a quick question, Tono? Arata: Of course, if it's something I can answer. Akito: Then... Is it true that your dream is to surpass RAD WEEKEND? Arata: ...! Arata: Yes, it is. Well, to put it into better perspective... Arata: I don't want to surpass RAD WEEKEND, I will surpass it. Akito: Tono, were you actually at RAD WEEKEND...? Arata: Oh, of course! My best friend was really into music and dragged me along to go see it. Arata: We sort of got caught up in the moment and decided that we'd put on an even bigger event together. Arata: So in a way, it's not my dream to surpass RAD WEEKEND, rather my friend's... Toya: But we heard that you've been participating in events on your own... Arata: Yes, I have. Well, things happened. Arata: Now, I'm working to surpass it all on my own. Akito: Surpass RAD WEEKEND on your own...? Akito: You're being serious? Akito: If you were actually there, you'd know that it's not realistic for just one person to do that on their own... Arata: Oh, I'm more than aware of that. Arata: But I believe that I am more capable of doing that than you. Akito: What? Toya: Wait... Arata: You also wish to surpass RAD WEEKEND too, no? Akito: So you knew... Arata: Yes, I did. I started hearing rumors just after I came back. Arata: That Vivid BAD SQUAD wants to put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND. Toya: I see... Arata: But you've honestly been a disappointment... Arata: I was hoping for more since Ken spoke so highly of your team. Akito: Huh? What exactly do you mean by that...? Arata: My, what a scary face. Excuse that last comment. Arata: However, my declaration still stands. You do not have what it takes to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Arata: With time, I'm sure you'll go somewhere, but I'll have long since succeeded by then. Akito: You... Akito: I still haven't seen you perform, but I wouldn't get so cocky now either. Arata: Oh, it's nothing like that. I'm just speaking my mind. Akito: What...?! Arata: It still hasn't gotten through to you yet, so let me explain it in simpler terms... Arata: Aoyagi, was it? You seem to have quite an ear and perfect pitch to match. Your incredible talents are going to waste. Arata: And that An girl has been doing well for herself too. Ken's daughter should be able to do as much, but she still needs more polishing... Arata: And that other girl, I forget her name... She has some manner of singing talent, but still too amateurish during live performances. Arata: I would never have let her join in the first place. Toya: ... Akito: You...! Arata: And above all else... Akito: I've heard enough...! Akito: All this talk means you have to be that much better than us, right?! Arata: Oh, naturally. Akito: Then let's find out who's actually better. You or us. Toya: What...? Akito: If we can get this crowd more pumped up than you, you'll take back what you just said. Audience: Hey, does this mean Arata and Vivid BAD SQUAD are gonna duke it out...? Audience: No way! That would be amazing! Arata: So it's a battle you want? Fine.

I will say that you didn't do so bad yourselves. Akito: ...! Arata: But I didn't think that you'd be baited so easily. Arata: Are you really that invested in your friends, in RAD WEEKEND...? Akito: Of course I am... Akito: After that event, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Akito: I learned that living life without a goal or something to strive for is completely pointless. Akito: RAD WEEKEND is what kickstarted my life. Akito: And I'm willing to spend my life on trying to surpass what I saw that night. Arata: Spend your life...? Arata: That's but the minimum. Akito: What...? Arata: If you want your dreams to come true, that's the bare minimum you have to be willing to pay. Arata: I mean, you can't seriously call it a dream if you don't, right? Akito: ... Arata: To be fair, that's just what my partner said... Toya: Um, Tono...? Toya: What happened to this partner of yours? Arata: They're far away in a different city now... Akito: In a different city? So you're not performing together? Don't they want to surpass RAD WEEKEND too? Arata: They can't sing anymore. Not after the accident... Akito: Accident...? Arata: A traffic accident. This car ran through an intersection and... Arata: Well, they lived, but some parts of their body became paralyzed. Singing was no longer really possible. Toya: I'm so sorry... Arata: After saying that we'd surpass RAD WEEKEND, we starting practicing, performing in events, singing... Arata: Before I knew it, I was completely invested in the idea of actually making that dream come true. Just as we were hitting our stride... Akito: ... Arata: A lot happened after that... Arata: But I decided to carry on and make their dream come true. I'm going to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Akito: ... Akito: (His partner can't sing anymore...) Akito: (And he's come this far all on his own...) Toya: Why are you telling us all this...? Arata: Hmm... I'm not sure... Arata: Maybe it's because we have the same goal in mind? Arata: You're nowhere near where I am, but you seem to be serious about it so... Akito: ... Arata: Since we're here, let me give you some advice. Toya: Advice? Arata: If you're truly serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND, I'd like to see you get much better first. Akito: You don't have to tell us, especially after what just happened... Arata: In that case, let me put it another way. Arata: I talked at length about your teammates, but there's one thing I left out. Arata: Shinonome, you're the least interesting one of the bunch. Akito: What...?! Arata: I do believe that you're a good team. You sing well and put on good performances. Arata: But every single person that performed during RAD WEEKEND was a genius or even more than that. I'm sure you saw that too, no? Akito: I... Arata: Performing well as a team is important, but I believe that each individual piece also needs to be polished to perfection. Arata: Now do you understand? Arata: Your teammates are all more talented than you realize and they may even become first-rate performers in their own right in time. Arata: But it's too hard for me to believe that you'll be up there with them when that time comes. Akito: What...? Arata: You've been feeling the very same thing, have you not? Akito: I... Toya: Please, stop...! Toya: I understand that we won't be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND just yet, but Akito doesn't deserve to be blamed like this... I still haven't... Akito: Toya...

An: But if we're not changing how much we practice as a team, when do you plan on doing solo practices? Akito: After team practices. I've already asked to have be given fewer shifts at work, so I can practice at night. Kohane: Really? Are you sure about that...? Akito: What do you mean? I can handle it.

I just need to do something about this. Akito: I have to keep getting better, so please, I need some time alone... Akito: I promise not to be a bother to any of you. Toya: Akito... An: *Sigh*... Fine, do whatever you like. I won't stop you. Akito: Yeah, thanks. Akito: For now, I'm gonna head off...*Cafe Bell*
Kohane: But... An, are you sure about this? An: No, but what else was I supposed to say? I doubt anything I said would've stopped him... Toya: Yes, I don't disagree with you there. Akito can be unbelievably stubborn when he's like this... Toya: But will he be alright...? An: We'll just have to wait and see for now. As anxious and restless as he may be right now, he might calm down a little after a while... Toya: Right... Backstage

Musician: Alright! I'm good to go! Musician: Those other guys have been getting all the attention lately, but that's not gonna stop me... Hm? Musician: A-Akito?! Akito: Oh, it's you... Musician: W-Why are you here?! Vivid BAD SQUAD isn't supposed to be performing today... Akito: Some stuff happened and it's just me today. Akito: Also, An told me that you went and apologized to her and Kohane, but you still haven't said anything to us... Musician: I, uh... Well... Musician: I feel like I shouldn't say anything until I sort of get back on my feet... Akito: *Sigh*... Just don't ever do that again, okay? Akito: Anyways, there's something I need to do so...*Footsteps*
Musician: ...? Akito: (It's been a while since I last did a solo event...) Akito: (I've been doing performances with Toya since we joined together, and then came the other two...) Akito: (All in order to surpass RAD WEEKEND...) Akito: I'm not stopping until I do... Akito: We're gonna make it happen...! Two weeks later

Akito: The more the merrier, right? I can get a ton of experience this way. Akito: ... An: Seriously, are you okay? Your legs wobbled just now. Kohane: You look really tired, Shinonome. Are you sure you're okay? Akito: This is nothing...*Footsteps*

Toya: Akito, wait...! Akito: Toya, what is it? Did you run here? Toya: Please, talk to me. Akito: Talk? About what...? Toya: About how you're overworking yourself, Akito. Toya: I understand that you want to keep getting better to surpass RAD WEEKEND someday... Toya: But you'll end up collapsing before that happens at this rate. All your effort would go to waste! Akito: I'm doing this knowing the risks. Toya: But...! Akito: If all it took was practicing like we usually do, I would already be doing that. Akito: But I won't be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND if I don't do this. I have to be able to handle anything that's thrown at me and do absolutely everything I can to make it happen. Toya: What happened that night really is bothering you... Toya: I don't believe what Tono said is true. You aren't the one that's holding us back... Akito: ... Toya: You don't seem satisfied by that... Toya: Then how about this? Let's say that at your current level, Akito, that you can't surpass RAD WEEKEND... Toya: Doesn't that also mean we as a team still can't as well? Toya: The first-rate performers Tono was talking about are still in the distant future. We all have to keep getting better to succeed. Toya: Please, don't do this to yourself. Toya: When I hit a wall that other time, you told me to let you help. Toya: That applies to you too. We're a team. Akito: Toya... Akito: (When I joined together with Toya, I started practicing like no other to make sure I didn't disappoint him.) Akito: (I finally thought that I made it to a respectable level, and we even met An and Kohane. It felt like we were actually making progress towards our goal.) Akito: (But...) Arata: Your teammates are all more talented than you realize and they may even become first-rate performers in their own right in time. Arata: But it's too hard for me to believe that you'll be up there with them when that time comes. Akito: ... Akito: (I know exactly what he's talking about...) Akito: (We have to start working even harder if we actually want to surpass RAD WEEKEND.) Akito: (For now, all I can do with work as hard as I did when I first met Toya...)*Hurried Footsteps*

An: What on earth is going on with Akito? Kohane: I'm really worried. He always seems so tired and won't tell us if he's actually been getting any rest... Toya: ... Kohane: Oh, I know! What if your dad tries to talk to him, An...? An: We already tried that... An: He just said thanks for giving him some advice and sort of just shrugged it off from what I gathered... Toya: He wouldn't even listen to Ken? What else can we do...? An: If only we could learn why he's acting the way he is now, then we might be able to come up with something... Kohane: Oh, wait... What if we tried asking everyone over there...? Street SEKAI

An: Alright, we're here! Now, let's try to... Huh? This song... Kohane: Oh, this is nice...! KAITO: There! Something like that... Rin: Wow, that's so cool! Considering it's KAITO...! KAITO: What do mean considering it's me...? MEIKO: He's right. You two need to be a little more appreciative of him since he taught you about how to use a sampler. Toya: KAITO was playing that song...? MEIKO: Oh, hello. I didn't notice you there. Kohane: No, please don't mind us! We heard a really nice song playing and started wondering where it was coming from... KAITO: Really? I'm glad you liked it so much. Miku: But it's just three of you today? Where's Akito...? Toya: About that... Do you have some time to talk? Crase Cafe
Crase Cafe
MEIKO: So that's why Akito hasn't been around lately... Miku: I know he's the stoic and hard-working type, but trying to do this all on is own seems a bit much... Len: Did losing do this to him? Kohane: Shinonome always looks after us, but to go this far after losing one battle... Toya: Exactly... There may be something even bigger eating away at Akito right now. KAITO: Hmm... But what could that be? Toya: The last time I spoke with him, he seemed very anxious... Kohane: Anxious...? Kohane: Oh... An: Kohane, what's up? Kohane: I can't say for sure, but maybe Shinonome is doing this because of you, Aoyagi...? Toya: Me...? Kohane: After you settled things with your father, you started getting better so fast, right...? Kohane: Maybe he saw this as a sort of warning that told him to keep up, and it started making him anxious...? An: Why would he think that? Kohane: That's what I'm not sure about... Kohane: I think he wants to be able to help us, especially the person that's always next to him... Toya: I see... Toya: I was under the impression that after that incident with my father that I finally reached his level... Miku: You may not be the only person on his mind, Toya... Miku: You've all improved so much since you became a team. Kohane: We have...? An: Thanks, Miku! Toya: ... Toya: Akito wanting to keep getting better along with his teammates seems natural... Toya: But... Toya: I wish he'd talk to us and lean on us more. Is that too much to ask...? KAITO: Hmm... It could be... An: Huh? KAITO: I mean, isn't that what it means to be a team? KAITO: When things aren't going well, you cheer each other up, and you make each other better when things are going your way. KAITO: At the same time, it's not a good idea to constantly rely on everyone else, right? KAITO: But now may be the time when you need to reach out to him, especially since you're all chasing after the same dream. Toya: Reach out to him...? Akito: Great job, Toya. Toya: I see... Toya: We need to help him as his teammates. I need to support him as his partner... Toya: So that we can keep growing together... An: Yeah, sounds good. Thanks for your help, KAITO. An: It's time to go, you two! An: Okay, we're back. Let's get a hold of Akito and...*Cafe Bell*
Musician: Hey! Is Toya here?! Toya: Oh... An: Wait, you! That guy from before...! An: Sorry... What was your name? Kotaro: Kotaro Mita! But that's not why I'm here...! Kotaro: I'm supposed to be in this event with Akito today, but something's wrong with him... Toya: With Akito? What's going on? Kotaro: We're doing a battle event today, but this other guy, Arata Tono, just decided to crash it. Akito looked like he'd just snapped or something... Kotaro: I don't know how to put it into words, but it's like he's his old self again, you know...? Toya: His old self...? What do you mean? Kotaro: You know? When you guys just became the BAD DOGS? I mean, seriously... Toya: Please, continue. Tell us everything you know. Kotaro: Y-Yeah... Kotaro: You guys had it pretty rough back then, right? The older musicians were picking on you, and even the crowd was always getting in your face... Toya: Yes, I remember... An: Even you guys had to deal with that? Toya: We did. But that was also when we were desperately doing everything we could to get better. Akito in particular had this aura about him, even during practice... Toya: He worked so hard on trying to make it as a performer and surpass that night. I struggled to keep up with him. An: Yeah, I can totally see that... Kohane: Shinonome has a really good work ethic so... Toya: But what does that have to do with what's happening now? Kotaro: Maybe that's how it looked to you, Toya, but not to us. That went way beyond what the rest of called hard-working... Kotaro: He kept at it, even when you weren't there. Day and night, regardless if he could even physically sing. Toya: What...? Kotaro: I couldn't get much out of him then, but I think he was trying to keep up with you... Toya: With me...? Kotaro: Yeah, you have a classical music background, so your musical intuition is through the roof. He probably felt that someone way beyond him just came onto the scene... Kotaro: Other people have even been saying that Akito is living off his partner's talents... An: You're kidding! That's awful! Toya: ...
Akito: I'm the one that's holding us back. Toya: No, that's not true. Akito, you've... Akito: It is true. I know better than anyone else... Toya: Akito... Toya: Thank you for telling us, Mita. Do you know where Akito is now? Kotaro: He's... He's at that live house... BROWN! Toya: Got it...!*Hurried Footsteps*

Akito: But don't think that I'm gonna let you walk away with a win so easily. Arata: Such pressure... You've practiced quite a lot. Arata: This might make you mad, but that makes me happy.

Toya: But you don't need to do that anymore... Akito: ... Toya: If it weren't for you, Akito, I wouldn't have been able to get this far. Toya: You were the one that lifted my spirits after that day we met on Vivid Street. Toya: Now, it's my turn. Toya: Let's keep performing and doing shows together until you get over this hurdle. Toya: If you still feel down after that, I'll be there to lift you back up. I'll make sure that you'll be able to sing. Toya: Because there's no way we'll be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND without you! Toya: So if something's bothering you, ask us for help! Akito: ... An: Seriously, you've been helping us so much until now! You even told me and Kohane what we needed to work on and deal with...! Kohane: She's right! It's all thanks to you, Shinonome! Akito: I... Akito: (I don't have the talent that they do...) Akito: (But if we're gonna actually put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND, I need to get better. I don't know if I can make that a reality the way I am now...) Akito: (But...)

Akito: How...? Akito: Was he holding back that time...? Audience: He's incredible! If he can do this much, he might actually be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND! Akito: (After all that, I didn't even scratch the surface...) Akito: ...!*Cheering*
MC: What a performance by Arata!! Could this be our champion?! Audience: There's no way anyone else here can top that! Audience: I know, right?! Akito: (What am I supposed to do...?) Akito: (I didn't get any closer. I'm further back than I realized...) Akito: (Is this it...? Is this my limit...?) Akito: ... ???: Akito!*Crowd*
Akito: Huh...?! ???: What? The event's already over? ???: If it's still on, can't we just jump in and crash it?*Cheering*
MC: Hold on! Looks like we've got all of Vivid BAD SQUAD in the house!! Akito: Why are you guys here...?! An: You can still sing, right, Akito? Akito: Huh? What do plan on doing? An: Isn't it obvious? We're all doing a song together! An: You're not alone anymore. Vivid BAD SQUAD is here! Kohane: Yeah! Let's sing as a team, Shinonome! Kohane: As long as we're together, we'll be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND! Akito: What are you saying all the sudden...?! Toya: Akito... Toya: I didn't realize just how hard you were working back then and even now... Akito: Toya...! You... Toya: I have so much respect for the way you've been doing everything in your power to make your dream come true. I understand your desire to do everything yourself. Toya: But you don't need to do that anymore... Akito: ... Toya: If it weren't for you, Akito, I wouldn't have been able to get this far. Toya: You were the one that lifted my spirits after that day we met on Vivid Street. Toya: Now, it's my turn. Toya: Let's keep performing and doing shows together until you get over this hurdle. Toya: If you still feel down after that, I'll be there to lift you back up. I'll make sure that you'll be able to sing. Toya: Because there's no way we'll be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND without you! Toya: So if something's bothering you, ask us for help! Akito: ... An: Seriously, you've been helping us so much until now! You even told me and Kohane what we needed to work on and deal with...! Kohane: She's right! It's all thanks to you, Shinonome! Akito: I... Akito: (I don't have the talent that they do...) Akito: (But if we're gonna actually put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND, I need to get better. I don't know if I can make that a reality the way I am now...) Akito: (But...) Akito: (I don't have time to think about whether or not I have any talent, or if I have to chase after anyone.) Akito: (I have to keep standing back up if I'm gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND with them!!)*Cheering*
Arata: Oh, you're performing a Vivid BAD SQUAD now? Good, I'd like to see this. Akito: Tono... I know I don't have what it takes to beat you.... Akito: But we're gonna be the ones that surpass RAD WEEKEND...! Arata: ...!!

Akito: Thanks for bringing them here. An: Alright, how about we get back on the right track! An: If we're gonna have a hope of surpassing RAD WEEKEND, we've gotta do it together! Kohane: Yeah! Toya: I agree. Akito: Mind if I add just one thing...? Toya: Hm? Yes, Akito? Akito: I convinced myself that in order for us to surpass RAD WEEKEND, I needed to become as good as I possibly could. Akito: I'm sorry about that. I didn't realize what I was doing... Akito: I still believe that I need to get better for us to make our dream come true. Akito: But from now on, I'll try relying on you guys more... Toya: Good...! Akito: Now, practices are gonna get even harder, so I hope you're all ready. An: You know we are! Don't worry about us!
