Shibuya Park

Akito & Toya: ————!

An & Kohane: ————!

Akito: (We're practicing this early in the morning, but they all sound amazing...)

Akito: (I guess what we saw made a pretty big impact...)

Nagi: ♪————————!!

Ken & Taiga: ♪————————!! ♪——!! ——!!

Akito: (Even as a video, it was still that powerful...)

Akito: (There are plenty of events where "a bunch of good teams gather to blow the roof off a place"...)

Akito: (But RAD WEEKEND was totally something else...)

An: Man, I'm exhausted...!

Kohane: Huff... Huff... We have been singing since this morning...

Toya: Yes. We should all get in some rest after this.

An: Yeah! But we'll need to catch our breath soon...

An: Dad and his team always seemed completely fine after singing for an entire day, so we've gotta keep building up our stamina.

Kohane: Right! Let's just keep at it!

Akito: ...

Akito: (She's right about us needing to build our stamina. Plus, we've gotta keep polishing our rhythm and tone.)

Akito: (But is this the right way to go...?)

Akito: (That place was full of musicians who became the best of the best by tirelessly honing their craft.)

Akito: (Unfortunately... We're gonna need more than just that to surpass RAD WEEKEND.)

Nagi: ♪————————!!

Nagi: Next, we have RUST! They're all yours!

RUST: ♪——! ——! ——!!

Nagi: Next is... GLaP day!! Are you guys ready?! Let's hear it!

Nagi: And last but not least... Us!

Nagi: RADder!!

Akito: (If we're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND, we're gonna have to find a way to create an even more insane atmosphere.)

Akito: (But that's way easier said than done...)

Akito: (I've even seen some events put on by musicians who are supposedly on Ken and his team's level... But none of them have even come close.)

Akito: (That time, every team participating in RAD WEEKEND jockeyed to see who's the best... And joined together to go for the top.)

Akito: (They weren't just being driven by passion... All the teams battled to become the top dog, and it created an "atmosphere that pushed everyone forward"...)

Akito: (Which means, if we actually want to surpass RAD WEEKEND...)

Toya: Akito...?

Akito: Hm? Yeah, what's up?

Kohane: We were just thinking about heading over to MEIKO's place for lunch.

Kohane: Also, last time, Len said, "Stop by the next time you get a chance."

Akito: Yeah, I remember that too. Alright, let's head over to MEIKO's place.

An: What do you think Len was talking about?

An: Anyway, I guess we'll find out when we get there! Let's take a break and hop on over...!

Kohane: Okay!

Akito: ...

Street SEKAI

Crase Cafe

Len: So...!

Len: We're gonna put on our very own event...!!

Rin: Yay! Let's do it!!

Miku: "So"...? What led to this exactly...?

Rin: What?! I literally just went over that!

Len: We were totally blown away by RAD WEEKEND, so we wanna try putting on our own event!

Luka: Haha. It had a pretty big effect on you two, huh?

Miku: Yeah, I can see why too. That video... It really was incredible.

MEIKO: But this still feels very sudden. I wasn't sure what to expect when you asked to see us...

KAITO: Yes, I was surprised too... But I'm for putting on an event since it sounds fun!

Luka: Me too♪ It'll be nice to sing with everyone for a change...

Len: See?! KAITO and Luka are in!

Rin: Miku, MEIKO, you both gotta be in it too! It'll be such an amazing event if we have all of us in it!

Miku: Okay, okay.

Akito: Hey. We came to grab a bite.

Kohane: Hello. Huh...? Everyone's here today.

Len: Oh, it's you guys! Nice timing!

Rin: Listen! Listen! We were just talking about putting on our very own event!

An: An event?

Len: Yup! We decided to put one on ourselves after seeing that video of RAD WEEKEND with you guys!

Toya: That sounds nice. Will you be doing it here?

Len: Yeah! We're thinking about using the cafe's terrace! It's big, has all the equipment we need and plenty of seats!

MEIKO: Hey, I didn't explicitly give you permission yet... But it looks like I don't have much of a choice now. Be sure to clean up after yourselves, okay?

Rin: Woohoo!! This is gonna be so great, you guys!!

Luka: Yeah♪

Akito: (An event, huh...?)

Kohane: Hehe. Good for you, Len, Rin.

An: Putting on your own event, huh...? That takes me back.

Toya: It takes you back? What do you mean?

An: After I saw RAD WEEKEND, I was all like, "I wanna put on an event too!"

An: I even gathered up all my friends and acquaintances to actually put one on!

Akito: Wait, you did...?

An: Yeah! But to be fair, I didn't have the talent or experience to do much of anything.

An: I wasn't all bad, but it ended up being nothing like what I had in mind.

An: After that, I gave it more thought and... I decided that I'm gonna look for a partner that's just like my dad, practice a ton with and give it another go!

Kohane: I never knew that...!

Toya: I didn't realize you already tried putting on your own event, Shiraishi.

An: It honestly wasn't anything special. All I really did was ask around, book a place, rehearse and take the stage.

KAITO: I had no idea! That sounds very fun.

KAITO: Oh, I know...!

KAITO: Since we're going to be putting on an event, why don't all of you also try putting one together?

An: Huh?

Len: Yeah! I bet it'll turn out great since you have Kohane and the guys now. Plus, you've all been practicing a ton together!

An: Good point... I was waiting until we'd gotten better as a team, but it might actually be a good opportunity for us to give it a try.

Akito: Yeah, I like it... Let's try putting on our own event.

Akito: It could even give us a "hint" in terms of what to do moving forward.

Toya: A hint...? Care to elaborate, Akito?

Akito: This thought popped into my head when I was thinking about RAD WEEKEND just now...

Akito: It wasn't just any old event where "a bunch of good teams gather to blow the roof off a place"...

Len: Wait, it wasn't?

Rin: Yeah, I thought it was a really amazing event because all these really amazing people were there to sing!

Akito: You're not wrong about needing amazing skills, but that alone won't make an event great...

Akito: The reason RAD WEEKEND became so legendary was because of that "atmosphere".

KAITO: The atmosphere?

An: Yeah, I totally get what you mean!

An: It was just, well... Awesome! Everybody there was singing with everything they had like their lives depended on it, you know...?

An: I'd been to a few events with people as good as my dad and his team before, but that night was different... Nothing else has ever come close to that atmosphere.

Kohane: Which is why it felt so heated. Those teams were ready to put everything on the line, right?

Toya: Yes, but they also sort of became a single unit that focused on achieving one goal...

Akito: Yeah, I felt that too.

Akito: It was like every team participating RAD WEEKEND came together to produce that unbelievable atmosphere...

Akito: But I have no idea how we're going to achieve what they did... Which is why putting on an event ourselves might give us a clue.

Toya: I see...

An: In that case, I'm in! I mean, a lot of stuff in life involves just trying it out and seeing what happens, right?

Kohane: Yeah, I agree...! That feeling of excitement coursing through your entire body... I wanna make others feel that way!

Toya: In that case, I believe we're in agreement.

Akito: Alright, I guess it's time for us to get moving.

Rin: Cool! Between this SEKAI and you guys' world, we get to have a double event!

Luka: Oh, that sounds lovely! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

MEIKO: Alright, you guys, let's all settle down a bit...

Akito: Yeah, nothing's actually been decided yet...

Miku: Did someone's stomach grumble just now...?

KAITO: Not mine...!

An: Me neither.

Rin: Hmm...?

Toya: My apologies... I didn't realize how hungry I was...

Akito: Toya, it was you...?

MEIKO: Hehe. You're all still growing, so why don't we take this opportunity to have lunch?

An: Yeah! And we can talk more about our event afterwards!

Kohane: Okay! Oh, wait... I'm supposed to practice with Taiga this afternoon.

Toya: Then, we can discuss this again at another time. How does that sound, Akito?

Akito: Sure.

Akito: (If we're really going through with this, we're coming out of this with the result we want...)

Akito: (We've gotta figure out the secret behind that atmosphere...)

An: Nice work today! See you two later!

Akito: Yeah, see you tomorrow.

Akito: Alright, time for us to head to the station and... Hm?

Akito: What up, Toya? You seem anxious.

Toya: Oh, it's just... I think I'm excited about us putting on an actual event. It'll probably be on my mind for a while after I get home too.

Akito: I get how you feel, but you gotta relax for now. We're gonna talk more about what to do for it tomorrow anyway.

Akito: From picking a venue to putting a set list together... And most importantly, figuring out who's gonna be performing with us.

Toya: Oh, that's right. Hm?

???: ♪————!

Akito: That voice...

Kotaro: ♪————! ♪————!

Akito: It's him...

Kotaro: *Sigh* I still can't hit that high note... Hm?

Kotaro: Hey, Akito, Toya. You guys heading home?

Akito: Yeah. You still practicing? We never see you out here this late.

Kotaro: That's right! I've been super stoked lately!

Akito: You have? Are you gonna be in a big event or something?

Kotaro: Not exactly...

Kotaro: I mean, it's just... You guys have been on fire...

Toya: What do you mean?

Kotaro: I mean... So...

Kotaro: Seeing you guys and Tono doing so well made me realize that I should probably try a little harder.

Kotaro: Surpassing RAD WEEKEND sounded totally impossible at first, but I'm starting to think that you guys might actually pull it off...

Kotaro: I'm not exactly the greatest musician out there, but everyone wants to do a huge event at least once in their lives, you know?

Kotaro: I get I'm not as good as you guys, but that's sort of been on my mind lately...!

Akito: Hm? You, huh...?

Kotaro: S-So what?! Is it weird for me to think that?!

Akito: No, not at all...

Akito: Alright, that makes you our rival, so you better be ready if we meet during a battle.

Toya: Yes, we'll be giving it everything we have.

Kotaro: O-Okay...!!

Akito: Anyway, I think we've kept you long enough. Good luck with practice.

Kotaro: Thanks! You guys get home safe!

Akito: I never thought he'd become this motivated...

Toya: You seem happy, Akito.

Akito: Huh? I do?

Akito: I guess it's because I'm seeing more and more people make surpassing RAD WEEKEND their goal...

Toya: Outside of us, Tono was about the only one who had made it their goal.

Akito: Tono, huh...? Rumor has it that he's been singing everywhere around here since losing to Taiga.

Akito: I wonder what he's up to now...

Scramble Crossing

Arata: ...

Arata: (How long has it been since then...?)

Arata: (Since I lost to Taiga...)

A Mysterious Man: Arata... If you're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND, keep this one thing in mind.

Arata: Huh...?

A Mysterious Man: ————————

Arata: "Take a look at this city"...huh?

Arata: (I've been entering into as many Vivid Street events as I can and talked to almost every musician that I've seen. I've even all but memorized all the back alleys around here.)

Arata: (But I still don't understand what Taiga meant...)

Arata: A message...? Who'd be contacting me at this hour...?

Arata: He's here... Again...

Arata: (Then, I have even less time to think...)

Arata: (Especially since I still need to...)

Passerby A: And I heard over at An's place that Vivid BAD SQUAD's gonna be putting on their own event!

Passerby B: Whoa! I can't wait to see what that's like!

Passerby B: They've been getting better with each performance, so it's gonna be totally outta this world, right?

Passerby A: Yeah! Who else do you think's gonna be there?

Passerby B: Hmm... It might be a short list since there aren't many teams around here that can sing like them...

Arata: Vivid BAD SQUAD's putting on an event...?

Arata: (Of course they are. They have to if they wish to get closer to surpassing RAD WEEKEND.)

Arata: (And someday, I'll...)

Arata: (Come to think of it, I've been participating in all these events up until now...)

Arata: (But I've never tried to put an event together with someone else who also wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND.)

Arata: This could be my chance to discover something new...

The next day

Crase Cafe

An: Alright, let's start talking about our event!

Rin: Yeah! C'mon, Kohane, you too...!

Kohane: Huh? Y-Yeah!

Akito: Anyway, we have a lot of decisions to make. First...

Len: Oh, me first! Let's pick a venue! We can't really get the ball rolling without knowing where you're gonna be playing, right?

Luka: True. What else is there? A date and time, I suppose?

KAITO: Even though you usually run late, Luka?

Luka: Haha! I can't help but take my time, you know?

Akito: Mind being quiet for a minute, you guys? This isn't getting us anywhere.

Miku: I agree. This is their event. We have our own event to think about.

MEIKO: Why don't you start by writing a list of what you need to do? As for Len and the others, I'll jot everything down.

Toya: I see... Yes, let's put some notes together.

Toya: A venue. A date and time. What else...? Other participants...?

Akito: Yeah. We should be set in terms of a venue...

Akito: So let's think about who else is gonna be there.

Akito: There's no way we'll produce that atmosphere if we don't choose the right people.

Toya: True... I agree that this is a good place to start.

Kohane: But who else should be there?

An: I mean, anyone who wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND, right?

An: Also, people who can sing with literally everything they have! That's an absolute must!

Toya: That's very general... But the one person who fits that bill is...

Toya: Surely, none other than Tono.

Kohane: Yeah. And he's an amazing singer...!

An: Not only that, but he also wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND!

Toya: What do you think, Akito...?

Akito: Don't worry, I'm with you guys there.

Akito: No one else out there has his kind of resolve or singing ability, so he'll be perfect for our event.

Akito: But the question is whether or not he'll agree to this...

Len: What do you mean?

Akito: I'm talking about if he'll see any merit in participating in our event.

Toya: There are rumors going around that he's been invited to participate in some fairly high-level events... He probably doesn't see any reason to go out of his way to join ours, right?

Kohane: I see... In that case, you might be right.

An: But we won't really know until we ask, right? He might just accept our offer without a second thought!

Akito: Yeah, that's true too... There's no use in dwelling on this.

Akito: Alright, let's try talking to him.

Toya: Okay. Is there anyone else you'd like to ask?

Toya: If we hope to learn more about RAD WEEKEND's atmosphere, we'll likely want to have a similar number of performers participating. I'd say at least two more teams...

An: Hmm... But I feel like there just aren't many people besides us or Arata who're actually serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND...

Akito: Yeah, so let's do what we can for now...

Toya: Which means...

Akito: We're gonna go talk to Tono.

Shibuya Park

Akito: Okay, let's start searching... He usually sings at one of the bigger places around here, so we should be able to find him pretty quick.

Kohane: Right. Oh, what if we looked up where he's supposed to be performing...? Hmm...

Kohane: I tried searching for event participants, but I'm not seeing anything recent regarding Tono.

An: You think something's up? I guess it could just be that there isn't any info out there. Oh, what if he's training because he lost to Uncle Taiga?!

???: Haha. Training? No.

Kohane: Huh? That voice...

Arata: Hello, Vivid BAD SQUAD. How's it going?

Akito: Tono?!

Akito: (We're here to invite him... I wasn't expecting him to find us first.)

Toya: What brings you here, Tono?

Arata: Oh, I came here to look for all of you in the hopes that I could ask you something.

Toya: Ask us...?

Arata: Yes. I heard from some people who looked like they were Weekend Garage customers that you guys are thinking about putting on your own event.

Arata: Would it be alright if I participated in that event...?

Akito: Huh...?

An: Wait, you wanna be in it?!

Arata: Yes. That is if you're all okay with it.

Akito: (Again, we came here to invite him... Talk about an offer you can't refuse...)

Akito: What made you want to be in our event...?

Akito: You're being invited to join all these other big events left and right, aren't you?

Arata: Yes, but something's telling me that I have a lot to gain by joining up with you guys.

Akito: Something's telling you...?

Toya: Akito, we originally came here to invite him. There's no reason to refuse his offer.

Akito: Yeah, you're right... In that case, we'll be looking forward to working with you...

Arata: Yes, I will as well.

An: Awesome! Let's make this event a good one!

Kohane: Um... We're looking forward to working with you!

Arata: Likewise. By the way... Have you spoken to anybody else about this? I'd prefer to know who if you already have.

An: No, not yet...

An: We want to find people who also want to surpass RAD WEEKEND, but there just aren't many out there, you know...?

Arata: Surpass RAD WEEKEND...

Arata: If that's the case, how about "EVER"?

Kohane: EVER? As in the guys we battled during STAY GOLDEN...?

Arata: Yes. I spoke with them just the other day and they seem to be working towards surpassing RAD WEEKEND as well.

Akito: Wait, why...?

Arata: Why don't you ask them yourselves?

Toya: If that possibility exists, I say we take a chance and go talk to them...

An: Yeah! Some customers at my place are all tight with EVER, so they might know how to contact them!

Kohane: Alright, let's try setting up a meeting.

Toya: Okay.

Akito: ...

Akito: (Something feels off...)

Akito: (Tono asks to join our event himself and gives us a good lead...? Was he always this cooperative?)

Akito: (I guess it could also mean that he wants the event he's gonna be in to succeed...)

Akito: (Man, I still can't figure out what's going through this guy's head...)

The next day

Crase Cafe

An: Alright, let's start talking about our event!

Rin: Yeah! C'mon, Kohane, you too...!

Kohane: Huh? Y-Yeah!

Akito: Anyway, we have a lot of decisions to make. First...

Len: Oh, me first! Let's pick a venue! We can't really get the ball rolling without knowing where you're gonna be playing, right?

Luka: True. What else is there? A date and time, I suppose?

KAITO: Even though you usually run late, Luka?

Luka: Haha! I can't help but take my time, you know?

Akito: Mind being quiet for a minute, you guys? This isn't getting us anywhere.

Miku: I agree. This is their event. We have our own event to think about.

MEIKO: Why don't you start by writing a list of what you need to do? As for Len and the others, I'll jot everything down.

Toya: I see... Yes, let's put some notes together.

Toya: A venue. A date and time. What else...? Other participants...?

Akito: Yeah. We should be set in terms of a venue...

Akito: So let's think about who else is gonna be there.

Akito: There's no way we'll produce that atmosphere if we don't choose the right people.

Toya: True... I agree that this is a good place to start.

Kohane: But who else should be there?

An: I mean, anyone who wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND, right?

An: Also, people who can sing with literally everything they have! That's an absolute must!

Toya: That's very general... But the one person who fits that bill is...

Toya: Surely, none other than Tono.

Kohane: Yeah. And he's an amazing singer...!

An: Not only that, but he also wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND!

Toya: What do you think, Akito...?

Akito: Don't worry, I'm with you guys there.

Akito: No one else out there has his kind of resolve or singing ability, so he'll be perfect for our event.

Akito: But the question is whether or not he'll agree to this...

Len: What do you mean?

Akito: I'm talking about if he'll see any merit in participating in our event.

Toya: There are rumors going around that he's been invited to participate in some fairly high-level events... He probably doesn't see any reason to go out of his way to join ours, right?

Kohane: I see... In that case, you might be right.

An: But we won't really know until we ask, right? He might just accept our offer without a second thought!

Akito: Yeah, that's true too... There's no use in dwelling on this.

Akito: Alright, let's try talking to him.

Toya: Okay. Is there anyone else you'd like to ask?

Toya: If we hope to learn more about RAD WEEKEND's atmosphere, we'll likely want to have a similar number of performers participating. I'd say at least two more teams...

The next day

Vivid Street

Leader of EVER: Alright, I understand...

Leader of EVER: So you guys are looking to put on an event with teams who seriously want to surpass RAD WEEKEND?

An: Yeah, that's right!

Kohane: S-So, if you do feel the same way, would you like to put on this event with us?

Leader of EVER: What gives you the impression that we want to surpass RAD WEEKEND...?

Toya: Tono told us already that you've recently made surpassing RAD WEEKEND a goal of yours.

Leader of EVER: I see... Oh, Tono...

Akito: Mind if we ask how you really feel...?

Leader of EVER: It's all true...

Leader of EVER: When we lost to you guys at "STAY GOLDEN" last time... No, when we heard the way you guys could sing... That's what led us to this.

Kohane: Huh?

Leader of EVER: Initially, we were happy as long as we could keep singing here... But you guys showed us that tirelessly working towards an impossible goal makes you just that much stronger.

Leader of EVER: We want to be that kind of team. That's why we've been trying so hard to surpass it lately.

Akito: ...!

Leader of EVER: So, we may've lost last time, but we aren't going to next time. Got it?

Kohane: Huh? Does that mean...?

Leader of EVER: We're in.

Tatsuya: Once more... My name is Tatsuya Okazaki, the leader of EVER. I'm looking forward to working with you, Vivid BAD SQUAD.

An: Yeah, right back at you! We're not letting you hog all the glory!

Kamiyama Street

Akito: Okay, that makes three...

An: I wasn't expecting things to go so smoothly. We should really thank Arata later!

Kohane: Yeah! Also, it was so nice to hear that they decided to make RAD WEEKEND their goal after hearing us sing...!

Toya: Yes, it was.

Toya: Now, one more entrant to cap things off would be ideal...

An: Hmm... Yeah, I'm totally drawing a blank...

Kohane: Tono even said that he wasn't really sure outside of EVER.

Akito: Just one more... But who...?

???: Yeah! I won!

Kohane: Eep!

An: Wah! Who was that?!

Akito: Oh, it's you... What are you doing here?

Kotaro: Can't you see?! I was in an event! I wish you guys could've been there to see me win!

Akito: Okay, we get it. Congrats.

Kotaro: Grr... What happened to showing respect for your elders...?

Kohane: H-Haha... Sorry...

Kotaro: Anyway... What are you guys up to?

Toya: We were just looking for a team to participate in our event.

Kotaro: What?! You guys are putting on an event?! Not entering into one?! Seriously?!

Akito: Yeah, that's right.

Akito: We thought that it's something we'd eventually have to do if we're ever gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND.

An: Which is why we're gathering up good teams who're seriously pursuing that goal.

Kohane: Right now, Tono and EVER have agreed to join us.

An: Oh, hey! Know any other teams like that? They don't have to be in a team either. Another solo act like Arata would work too...

Kotaro: A solo act...?

Akito: What's wrong?

Kotaro: This event of yours... Can I be in it?!

An: What?

An: Whoa, hold up! Weren't you listening just now? We're looking for people who're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND...

Kotaro: I-I'm serious too!

Kotaro: I... I feel terrible about ruining that one event for you guys.

Kotaro: But I saw the way you guys just kept at your music... And I realized that I also needed to do better...

Kotaro: I practiced like crazy, entered into events and before I knew it, I found myself wanting to surpass RAD WEEKEND too...

Akito: You serious...?

Kotaro: Yes!

Kotaro: I know I sort of said it as a joke the last time I met you and the others, Akito...

Kotaro: But, that event had just as big of an impact on me. So big that I was too scared to say anything about surpassing it...

Kotaro: But... I'm serious about trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND now... No, I'm going to surpass it!

Kotaro: Because I know that I'll finally be able to have some pride in myself when I do...

Akito: Dude...

Akito: You heard who's gonna be in this, right? This event isn't gonna be some walk in the park...

Kotaro: Guh...

Kotaro: Yeah, I know... I used to sing for no real reason other than being kinda good at it...

Kotaro: Right now, I'm having trouble keeping up with you guys. There's no way I can surpass RAD WEEKEND at my current level, but...

Kotaro: But I still want to try!

Kotaro: I want to seriously chase after it like you guys! I promise to put on a worthwhile performance!

Kotaro: So please! Let me join you!

Toya: I'm okay with him joining...

Toya: We're trying to discover how the "atmosphere that pushed everyone forward" was born by putting on this event, as well as what's necessary to bring that about, no?

Toya: Which is why I believe that we should have those who feel the same way as us participate.

Toya: What do you all think?

An: You're being absolutely serious...?

Kotaro: Yeah, I am!

Akito: ...

Akito: (The last time I saw him, I was heading home after we discussed putting on our own event... Which was probably sometime past eight at night...)

Akito: (He was practicing all alone like there was no tomorrow... I'm guessing that he was out there pretty late that night.)

Akito: Alright, I'm taking you at your word...

An: Good... You look like you mean it.

Kohane: I agree...! I'm really glad you're joining us.

Kotaro: *Gasp* Awesome!!

Kotaro: Now I've gotta train for it! Just wait, you guys! You're all gonna be totally blown away!

Akito: Okay, we get it.

Toya: Again, we appreciate you joining.

Kotaro: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too!

The next day

Weekend Garage

An: So, everyone here's gonna be in our event! Thanks again, you guys!

Arata: Yes, thank you. Let's make this event a good one.

Tatsuya: Definitely. Just let us know if you ever need help finding a place or extra hands.

Kotaro: R-Right! I'll help with that too!

An: Thanks! We'll let you know if something does come up. Also, please contact Toya regarding any clerical business.

Akito: Kohane's gonna be in charge of flyers, and I'm gonna be dealing with who performs in what order along with some other stuff. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Arata: Okay, got it. We'll be counting on you all.

An: Alright, you guys, thanks again!

Akito: As far as venues go, "Ultramarine" should work for us. We performed there once before and it's just the right size for this event.

Toya: I agree. I also heard that the staff there is very flexible with its clients.

Kohane: Um... I tried taking some photos for our flyers... What do you guys think?

Akito: Hey, these are pretty good... I thought you were all about snakes and amusement parks.

An: What are you talking about? Kohane's the embodiment of good taste!

Kohane: Huh? N-No one's ever said that about me before...

Studio

Akito: Alright, we're gonna do a full run together today. You guys all ready...?

Kotaro: Yeah! I warmed up my voice this morning!

Tatsuya: Same. We're ready when you are.

Arata: Yes, me too...

Arata: Oh...

Akito: Hm? What's up...?

Arata: Oh, it's nothing. Anyway, let's get started.

Akito: Okay...?

Akito: (What's going on...? He's been eyeing his phone this entire time...)

An: Alright, let's get this run on the road!

Akito: (For now, I need to focus on this...)

Akito: (Time to see if this crew can produce that atmosphere...)

Studio

An: Oh, I almost forgot... Before we start, it'll probably be a good idea to discuss why we're meeting today.

An: So, if this were a normal event, I'm guessing we'd only be doing full runs as just rehearsals...

An: But we set this day aside to try things that might help us get closer to actually surpassing RAD WEEKEND through our event.

Arata: Get closer to surpassing RAD WEEKEND...?

Akito: In simple terms... We want to see if we can gel and create some synergy.

Kotaro: Synergy?

Akito: That's right. RAD WEEKEND became legendary partly because the teams there were all off the hook... But I don't think that's the whole story.

Akito: Every team was there to compete to become the best, which created this synergy that made them all better... I believe that atmosphere played a huge role.

Akito: Which is why we want to use this event to see how we synergize as a group.

Arata: I see... I'm inclined to agree with you there, Shinonome.

Arata: Truth be told, these sorts of no-holds-barred events are always fun to watch.

Tatsuya: I never would've thought to take this kind of approach... I say it's worth giving a shot.

Kotaro: Yeah! It sounds really exciting!

Toya: In that case, let's do a run like it's the real thing.

Kohane: Okay!

Tatsuya: ♪————!!

Akito: (Having EVER lead off definitely seems to be the right call. They have plenty of stage experience and shouldn't have much trouble warming up the crowd...)

Kotaro: A-Alright, I'm next...

An: Hey, you okay? You seem really nervous. Here, loosen up your shoulders and relax a little!

Kotaro: Y-Yeah, I know! Phew...

Akito: (Mita's batting second. I'm not really sure what he's capable of, but we'll just have to see...)

Kotaro: Okay...! Here we go!!

Kotaro: ♪————!!

Akito: ...!

Kotaro: ♪——!! ——!!

Akito: Hey, not bad...

Toya: Yes, he's come quite a long way. If anything, he has plenty of power now.

Akito: (Yeah, I guess we don't have to worry about Mita.)

Kotaro: Yay! Thanks for listening!

Toya: He's even imagining how to interact with the audience after he's finished singing...

An: Yeah, he's actually pretty good at getting a crowd going.

Kotaro: Alright, next we have... This guy!! Do not miss this moment!!

Arata: It looks like I have no choice but to throw down as well since you've gotten everyone this hyped up...

Akito: (If we want everything to climax towards the end, this is where we need Tono to be.)

Akito: (With his singing, we might just...)

Arata: ♪————!!

Akito: ...

Kotaro: Whoa...!

Tatsuya: He never misses a beat, huh...?

Kohane: I-I'm stunned... So much power...!

Toya: He's become significantly better since that time we battled. Impressive...

Akito: ...

Akito: (Yeah, he's definitely got more power than usual. The crowd would probably be going nuts right now.)

Akito: (But...)

Akito: (No... Negativity's just gonna keep us from doing what we can do...)

Akito: We're up soon. Let's go, you guys!

Kohane: R-Right!

An: Okay! We are headlining, so let's go knock their socks off!

Toya: Yes. We're just going to have to find a way to raise the bar even higher.

Kohane: ♪——————!!

An: ♪——! ——!!

Toya: ♪————!!

Akito: ♪——————!!

Kotaro: What?! They're even better than before...?!

Tatsuya: In such a short time too... I don't believe it.

Arata: I don't either. However...

Akito: (This isn't it...)

Akito: (It isn't a matter of not having an actual crowd here or being at a different venue...!)

Nagi: ♪————————!!

Taiga & Ken: ♪————————!! ♪——!! ——!!

Akito: (At this rate, we're never gonna be like Ken and his team...!)

Akito: Huff... Huff...

Toya: I believe that's everyone...

An: I can't say that I felt a lot of synergy, but I think we all did our best...!

Kohane: Yeah... But...

Arata: Right... Even if we do manage to get the crowd going...

Arata: We still won't come anywhere close to RAD WEEKEND.

Akito: Yeah...

Akito: We all sang like we meant it. But... At this rate, it's gonna end up being "just another event"...

Akito: What are we missing...? If only we had some kind of hint...

Kotaro: Is it me? Am I holding us back...?

Tatsuya: No, Mita, you kept the energy up throughout your turn. What if we made Tono go first...?

An: Yeah, Arata has the best skill and most power out of all of us, so we'd get a better start...

Akito: No, I still think our current order's the way to go. We've established a flow for pumping up the crowd.

Arata: Yes, I'm of the same opinion...

Arata: If we do plan on changing anything, it should be our song choices or how we bridge between them. For example, what if I switched out my song...?

Akito: Right now?

Arata: Yes. It didn't go very well with Mita's song, so that may've hurt our vibe a little.

Arata: Mita's good at being an MC, so he should interact with the audience as much as possible at the end of his song. I'll try to sing something that goes with that flow.

Kotaro: Oh, right... It's probably a good idea to come up with some good talking points to tie our songs together.

Akito: Then, we should also rethink our song choice if we want it to go along with Tono's...

Arata: Oh... Sorry, that's mine.

Tatsuya: Hey, we're still practicing. You need to keep that thing on silent.

Arata: I know. Again, I'm sorry...

Arata: But... I also need to take this...

Akito: Huh? Wait...! We're not done...

Kotaro: He's gone. What's going on...?

Akito: ...

Kohane: U-Um... Why don't we give it another try once Tono gets back?

Toya: Okay. It may also be good for us to choose songs from the genres that we heard during RAD WEEKEND as opposed to songs we're good at performing.

An: Yeah, we should try out a bunch of stuff!

Akito: ... Alright, let's do that.

Arata: ♪————! ♪————...

Akito: (What's going on...?)

Akito: (It's not like he's singing badly or anything, but something's been off about him since coming back...)

Akito: (It's like he can't focus on his performance because something else is bothering him.)

Arata: ♪————! ♪————...

Vivid Street

An: Man, I'm exhausted! We ended up singing the entire day.

An: But it feels like we haven't made any progress...

Kohane: Yeah. Things got a little better after Tono changed his song, but we didn't really get a good idea of how to produce the atmosphere from RAD WEEKEND...

Toya: I agree... How are we supposed to create that atmosphere...? What separates RAD WEEKEND from "other events"...?

Kohane: It's late, so we should head home for today... But I'm gonna keep thinking about that after I get home!

An: Yeah, me too! Oh, why don't we ask Miku and the others about this tomorrow?

Toya: Good idea. That might help us see things from a different perspective.

An: Alright, we'll meet up at MEIKO's place tomorrow and...! Hm...?

Akito: ...

Toya: Is something wrong, Akito?

Akito: Oh... No, nothing's wrong. Tomorrow at MEIKO's place, right?

Toya: Okay, if you say so...

Kohane: See you tomorrow. Great work today, you guys!

An: Yeah! See you!

Akito: (I can't stop thinking about it...)

Akito: (We don't have much time left until our event. Right now, we have to figure out a way to get something close to that atmosphere, but...)

Arata: Yeah, me too...

Arata: Oh...

Akito: Hm? What's wrong...?

Arata: Oh, nothing. Shall we get started?

Arata: But... I also need to take this...

Akito: (He's been pretty cooperative, but something's still keeping him from focusing...)

Akito: (What's going on with him...?)

Studio

An: Oh, I almost forgot... Before we start, it'll probably be a good idea to discuss why we're meeting today.

An: So, if this were a normal event, I'm guessing we'd only be doing full runs as just rehearsals...

An: But we set this day aside to try things that might help us get closer to actually surpassing RAD WEEKEND through our event.

Arata: Get closer to surpassing RAD WEEKEND...?

Akito: In simple terms... We want to see if we can gel and create some synergy.

Kotaro: Synergy?

Akito: That's right. RAD WEEKEND became legendary partly because the teams there were all off the hook... But I don't think that's the whole story.

Akito: Every team was there to compete to become the best, which created this synergy that made them all better... I believe that atmosphere played a huge role.

Akito: Which is why we want to use this event to see how we synergize as a group.

Arata: I see... I'm inclined to agree with you there, Shinonome.

Arata: Truth be told, these sorts of no-holds-barred events are always fun to watch.

Tatsuya: I never would've thought to take this kind of approach... I say it's worth giving a shot.

Kotaro: Yeah! It sounds really exciting!

Toya: In that case, let's do a run like it's the real thing.

Kohane: Okay!

Tatsuya: ♪————!!

Akito: (Having EVER lead off definitely seems to be the right call. They have plenty of stage experience and shouldn't have much trouble warming up the crowd...)

Kotaro: A-Alright, I'm next...

An: Hey, you okay? You seem really nervous. Here, loosen up your shoulders and relax a little!

Kotaro: Y-Yeah, I know! Phew...

Akito: (Mita's batting second. I'm not really sure what he's capable of, but we'll just have to see...)

Kotaro: Okay...! Here we go!!

Kotaro: ♪————!!

Akito: ...!

Kotaro: ♪——!! ——!!

Akito: Hey, not bad...

Toya: Yes, he's come quite a long way. If anything, he has plenty of power now.

Akito: (Yeah, I guess we don't have to worry about Mita.)

Kotaro: Yay! Thanks for listening!

Toya: He's even imagining how to interact with the audience after he's finished singing...

An: Yeah, he's actually pretty good at getting a crowd going.

Kotaro: Alright, next we have... This guy!! Do not miss this moment!!

Arata: It looks like I have no choice but to throw down as well since you've gotten everyone this hyped up...

Akito: (If we want everything to climax towards the end, this is where we need Tono to be.)

Akito: (With his singing, we might just...)

Arata: ♪————!!

Akito: ...

Kotaro: Whoa...!

Tatsuya: He never misses a beat, huh...?

Kohane: I-I'm stunned... So much power...!

Toya: He's become significantly better since that time we battled. Impressive...

Akito: ...

Akito: (Yeah, he's definitely got more power than usual. The crowd would probably be going nuts right now.)

Akito: (But...)

Akito: (No... Negativity's just gonna keep us from doing what we can do...)

Akito: We're up soon. Let's go, you guys!

Kohane: R-Right!

An: Okay! We are headlining, so let's go knock their socks off!

Toya: Yes. We're just going to have to find a way to raise the bar even higher.

Kohane: ♪——————!!

An: ♪——! ——!!

Toya: ♪————!!

Akito: ♪——————!!

Kotaro: What?! They're even better than before...?!

Tatsuya: In such a short time too... I don't believe it.

Arata: I don't either. However...

Akito: (This isn't it...)

Akito: (It isn't a matter of not having an actual crowd here or being at a different venue...!)

Nagi: ♪————————!!

Taiga & Ken: ♪————————!! ♪——!! ——!!

Akito: (At this rate, we're never gonna be like Ken and his team...!)

Akito: Huff... Huff...

Toya: I believe that's everyone...

An: I can't say that I felt a lot of synergy, but I think we all did our best...!

Kohane: Yeah... But...

Arata: Right... Even if we do manage to get the crowd going...

Arata: We still won't come anywhere close to RAD WEEKEND.

Akito: Yeah...

Akito: We all sang like we meant it. But... At this rate, it's gonna end up being "just another event"...

The next day

Crase Cafe

Kohane: Hello... Huh?!

Len: MEIKO! Can I put the speaker here?

MEIKO: Yes! Just be careful, okay? Luka, mind helping him carry it?

Luka: Yes, ma'am♪

Miku: Oh, I just rolled out the mic cable, so please watch your step...

Rin: W-W-Wah! I'm all tangled up!

Miku: Oh, I caught a Rin...

Akito: Looks like their preparations are going pretty smoothly...

Toya: Yes, they are... As much as I'd like to help, we may just end up getting in the way because of all these things. We may want to do something else and wait until things settle down...

KAITO: Hello, everyone! How've you been?

An: Wah! KAITO! Don't scare us like that...

An: Wait, KAITO, aren't you supposed to be helping them...?

KAITO: I was! They said that I could sit back and relax after I got all of my DJ equipment set up!

Akito: (Doesn't that kinda mean they didn't want him around any longer than necessary...?)

KAITO: Anyway, how's your event coming along? Everything going okay...?

An: Yeah, about that... Things haven't been going like we imagined and wanted to ask you guys for some advice.

KAITO: Oh, really?

Kohane: Everyone we got on board's really good, so we should be ready to go forward with our event...

Akito: But we're nowhere close to getting the atmosphere we want...

KAITO: Atmosphere...? You mean that thing you mentioned the other day?

Akito: Yeah. I know we're not gonna recreate it right off the bat, but we're so far from it... No hints as to what to do either...

Akito: Also...

Toya: Is this about Tono...?

Akito: Oh, you knew...?

Toya: Yes. I noticed you looking his way a few times, so I began to wonder if something was on your mind.

Akito: Yeah. He's got talent and has given us plenty of good advice...

Akito: But I can't figure out what's going through his head...

Akito: He takes our practices seriously, but he's suddenly left a few times already and it always seems like there's something bothering him...

Toya: I understand what you mean, Akito...

Toya: Compared to before, the current Tono seems less focused... Almost like he's always looking somewhere else...

Akito: ...

KAITO: Hmm...

KAITO: Oh, I know!

Kohane: What should we do...? Huh? Where'd KAITO go...?

Toya: Hm? Oh, he's gone. When did that happen...?

An: Hey, he's rummaging around the freezer!

Akito: Huh?

KAITO: Let's see... Ice cream... Aha! This one looks delicious!

Akito: Hold up...! You're gonna eat ice cream at a time like this?

KAITO: Huh? No, wait! You're getting the wrong idea!

Akito: How am I getting the wrong idea? It definitely looks like you're about to eat that.

KAITO: No, I really mean it!

KAITO: All of you, especially Akito, seem to have a lot on your minds, so I thought I'd make you some pancakes a la mode to help you relax a little! They say your brain needs sugar to keep going, right?

Akito: Pancakes?

Akito: I didn't know you could do that, KAITO...

KAITO: Of course I can! I'm actually pretty good at it too. I'm even right behind MEIKO in terms of brewing coffee!

Kohane: I had no idea...!

An: That's actually pretty cool!

Akito: Sorry for getting the wrong idea. I didn't realize you were doing this for us...

KAITO: Haha. All good! It probably doesn't help that I was caught red-handed once eating Rin and everyone else's ice cream...

KAITO: Oh... This situation could also apply to that Tono person you were talking about earlier.

Akito: Huh? What do you mean?

KAITO: How you may be getting the wrong idea. Based on what I heard just now, their resolve seems fairly strong on top of being very talented...

KAITO: All the while they may have a lot on their mind, like you guys. What if something's really bothering them?

Akito: Something bothering him...?

Toya: Yes, that could be the case. As talented as Tono is, he's not exactly a perfect human being.

Kohane: Do you think this has anything to do with why he hasn't been in many events lately?

An: Hmm... Or is losing to Uncle Taiga still eating away at him?

Akito: But he doesn't seem like that soft a person...

KAITO: You may want to sit down and discuss that.

KAITO: Once you reach an understanding... Yes, you'll all surely become a delicious batch of pancakes!

Akito: Huh?

Toya: P-Pancakes...?

KAITO: That's right! You aren't guaranteed to end up with delicious pancakes just because you gathered up some good ingredients!

KAITO: You have to mix the batter well and cook them right to get them to be nice and fluffy.

KAITO: I believe events are no different. It can only become good after you've all mixed together and reach an understanding with one another.

Akito: An understanding with one another, huh...?

Toya: We were convinced that we'd have to essentially compete against each other. It never crossed our minds to try and reach any sort of understanding.

An: Now that you mention it, understanding one another would make it easier for us to all work together. That's the same for basketball or any other team sport!

Kohane: Right. Getting to understand each other is bound to make our event even better.

KAITO: Exactly! That's why I think it'd be good for all of you to get to know this Tono person and the other performers better.

Akito: Yeah, that's definitely worth giving a shot...

Akito: Thanks, KAITO. We'll try everything that we can.

KAITO: Wonderful! I wish you the best of luck!

KAITO: Now, how do some freshly made pancakes sound?

Kohane: Wow! They look so yummy!

KAITO: They were actually supposed to look much fluffier, but I just couldn't get them to rise more...

KAITO: Oh, that reminds me. MEIKO said how mixing the batter overzealously will prevent them from becoming nice and fluffy.

Kohane: Huh?

KAITO: Luckily, these turned out beautifully! Hah hah hah!

Akito: Why do I not feel reassured by that...?

Scramble Crossing

An: Man, I'm so glad we did this today!

Kohane: The pancakes KAITO made were so good too.

Akito: Yeah... Anyway, we really gotta get moving starting tomorrow. We need to find a way to get on the same page as Tono, as well as Mita, Okazaki and the others.

Kohane: Yeah! L-Let's do our best!

Toya: For now, let's call it a day and get some rest.

An: Okay, nice work today! See you guys tomorrow!

Kohane: Bye bye!

Akito: Alright... Let's start heading home too.

Toya: Okay. Hm...?

Akito: What's up, Toya?

Toya: Over there. Isn't that...?

Akito: Tono...?

Arata: Okay. I'll head over now...

Akito: (He's on his phone again...)

Akito: (But with who...?)

KAITO: I believe events are no different. It can only become good after you've all mixed together and reach an understanding with one another.

Akito: Toya, mind if I go over to talk to him...?

Toya: Yes, of course. After all, I'd like to make some delicious pancakes too.

Akito: Says the guy who doesn't like sweets...

Akito: Tono...!

Arata: Hm?

Arata: Oh, Shinonome, Aoyagi. Were you both about to head home?

Akito: Yeah. We were doing some planning together.

Toya: Tono, what were you doing here just now?

Arata: Oh... Just dealing with some things.

Akito: Do any of the calls you got the other day have anything to do with this...?

Arata: Huh...?

Akito: You've been giving us good performances on stage and helpful advice.

Akito: But we can all tell that something's been on your mind lately.

Akito: As fellow performers participating in the same event, we thought we should ask.

Arata: Was it that obvious? I guess I still have a long way to go.

Arata: The truth is, I was about to go visit my partner at the hospital just over that way.

Akito: Your partner? Hang on...

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.

Akito: Wait, the hospital just over there...? What happened to them being somewhere far away?

Arata: Originally, he was. But he was desperate to come back and started feeling a little better recently, so he got permission to transfer.

Toya: Transfer?

Arata: Yes. After discussing the matter at length and realizing that his parents would be too busy with work, I decided to help him with the transfer process.

Akito: I had no idea...

Arata: He wants to be as close as he can to this city it seems...

Arata: Oh... Why don't you join me?

Akito: Huh?

Arata: He loves listening to music by everyone from Vivid Street. He's starting to get bored of me going on about myself, so I'd like it if you could tell him some fun stories.

Arata: Would you mind...?

Akito: ...

Akito: Okay, I'll go... How about you, Toya...?

Toya: Yes, of course.

Arata: Thank you. Alright, shall we?

Akito: (Tono's partner...)

Akito: (What's he gonna be like...?)

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.

Akito: Wait, the hospital just over there...? What happened to them being somewhere far away?

Arata: Originally, he was. But he was desperate to come back and started feeling a little better recently, so he got permission to transfer.

Toya: Transfer?

Arata: Yes. After discussing the matter at length and realizing that his parents would be too busy with work, I decided to help him with the transfer process.

Akito: I had no idea...

Arata: He wants to be as close as he can to this city it seems...

Arata: Oh... Why don't you join me?

Akito: Huh?

Arata: He loves listening to music by everyone from Vivid Street. He's starting to get bored of me going on about myself, so I'd like it if you could tell him some fun stories.

Arata: Would you mind...?

Akito: ...

Akito: Okay, I'll go... How about you, Toya...?

Toya: Yes, of course.

Arata: Thank you. Alright, shall we?

Akito: (Tono's partner...)

Akito: (What's he gonna be like...?)

Hospital

Arata: Soma, I'm here...

Soma: Hey, Arata! Thanks for making the trip!

Soma: So, how's practice for that event going? Good?

Soma: Hm? Those guys behind you...

Arata: Hehe. Can you guess who they are?

Akito: Oh... Hey... Sorry for the sudden intrusion. I'm...

Soma: Whoa!! Aren't you guys in Vivid BAD SQUAD?!

Arata: Oh, that was quick. You could've made it a little more interesting.

Soma: Are you kidding me?! Haven't you realized just how much you've been talking about Vivid BAD SQUAD lately?!

Soma: You're Shinonome and Aoyagi, right? He's told me all about you guys!

Soma: I'm Soma Miyata. This dude's best friend!

Arata: I bumped into them just outside the hospital and asked them to join me since it seemed like a nice opportunity...

Arata: They're very well acquainted with Ken, so I'm sure you know there's plenty you'll want to ask them.

Soma: Really? But you guys are probably really busy right now since your event's just around your corner... Oops.

Akito: Hey, you okay...?

Soma: Yeah, sorry about that...! My body isn't all that mobile because of the accident, and I get woozy just sitting up in bed sometimes.

Akito: (Oh, right...)

Akito: (I totally forgot since he seemed okay on the surface, but he's...)

Toya: Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you.

Soma: Hey, Arata... Is it just me or is Aoyagi really that nice?

Arata: Yes, he's very kind and polite. With none of the leers that Shinonome gives people sometimes.

Akito: Hey.

Soma: I'm guessing he does that because you yank his chain sometimes, Arata. Sorry about that, Shinonome, but he's sort of always been this way.

Akito: Oh... No... You don't need to apologize.

Toya: And you're right about Akito leering at people.

Akito: Dude!

Soma: Hahaha! Arata was right. You guys are a riot!

Soma: Oh, speaking of which, you guys are regulars at Ken's place, right? Mind if I ask how he's been lately?

Toya: Yes, of course. Recently, Taiga's also been popping in and they usually end up talking for quite a while.

Soma: Cool. Ken and Taiga in the same place again...! Man, I'd do anything to be there!

Akito: Soma, have you ever been to Ken's place before?

Soma: No, not yet... The accident happened before he opened up his shop.

Soma: But I was able to transfer here, so I definitely wanna see them again! And ask them all about RAD WEEKEND...

Soma: Even now, I still remember it... Nagi began by singing and everyone started going nuts like the roof was on fire...

Soma: It was such an amazing event...!

Akito: (Now I get it...)

Akito: (He was just as entranced by RAD WEEKEND and wants to find a way to surpass it...)

Soma: Man, I had a blast! Thanks for dropping by today, Shinonome, Aoyagi!

Toya: Thank you as well. Please let us know if you ever want to chat again.

Soma: Awesome! Promise? Come back soon, okay?!

Arata: Anyway, we should get going. See you later, Soma.

Soma: Later!

Soma: Arata was right about them being nice guys...

Soma: Now...

Soma: I have my own stuff to take care of...

Miyamasuzaka

Arata: Thank you both very much. Soma must've been a handful because of how excited he was.

Toya: Not really. It was nice to hear about what Vivid Street used to be like back in the day.

Akito: He seemed like a cheery guy...

Arata: Yes, he's always been like that. The accident was definitely tough for him, but he's pretty much back to being his old self now...

Len: <Here we are! Wait... Are we inside Akito's pocket?>

KAITO: <Oh, this is fun! It's like we're in a cave!>

Len: <You know we aren't here to play, right? You were the one who said the event's getting close and want to give them your support... Hm?>

Arata: But he seemed to have much more fun than usual thanks to you both. I really appreciate it.

Arata: Anyway... See you during our next practice.

Akito: Oh...

Akito: Hey... Isn't there something else you still need to say?

Arata: Huh?

Akito: You seem dissatisfied. If there's something you want to say, just say it.

Akito: We're fellow performers in the same event, aren't we?

Arata: Alright, let me ask you this...

Arata: What does it mean to "take a look at this city"?

Akito: Huh?

Arata: That's what Taiga told me to do the other day.

Arata: "If you're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND...take a look at this city."

Toya: This city...?

Akito: What's that supposed to mean?

Arata: Haha. Tricky one, right?

Arata: After he said that, I went around everywhere looking for whatever it is that I was missing or needed to find...

Arata: But I couldn't find the answer and became stuck.

Arata: So stuck that... Well, I got the idea that being at an event with all of you would lead me towards some sort of hint.

Toya: I see...

Arata: But seeing him makes me want to show him our dream... Of surpassing RAD WEEKEND...

Arata: Which is why... I'd like you to tell me anything that comes to mind when you hear, "Take a look at this city."

Arata: Right now, that's what I need to know to move forward.

Akito: Sorry, I have no idea what it means to "take a look"...

Akito: But I promise to tell you if I do manage to figure out something since it seems like we also need to figure out the meaning behind those words...

Toya: I'll think on it as well. I'm also curious as to what it means.

Arata: Thank you. I really appreciate it...

Arata: Anyway, let's keep doing our best for the event. All to find a path towards producing that "atmosphere".

Akito: Yeah...

Toya: I'm glad we had a chance to discuss so much. I feel like we have a much better understanding of Tono now.

Akito: Yeah, same... His partner, his music... It was nice to hear about all of that.

KAITO: <I agree! It was wonderful to hear their story!>

Len: <Yeah, I thought so too!>

Akito: Whoa...! How long have you two been there?!

Len: <When you started talking with that Tono person! We stayed in your pocket the whole time, so he probably didn't see us.>

Akito: O-Okay...

KAITO: <Just based on the bit we heard just now...>

KAITO: <That Tono person seems very similar to you two.>

Toya: Hm? What do you mean?

KAITO: <Oh, his personality may be very different.>

KAITO: <But he cares about his partner very much and seems very serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND. I definitely see some similarities there.>

KAITO: <You even said so yourself, Akito. You're all "fellow performers", right?>

Len: <Yeah! You guys all feel the same way, so I bet your event's gonna turn out great!>

Akito: Right...

Akito: (I was wrong about not knowing what he was thinking.)

Akito: (He feels the same way as us... Which means we're in this together.)

Akito: Toya, we're gonna need to move up the meeting time for tomorrow's practice.

Akito: I have a feeling he'll agree to it, so mind letting An and Kohane know for me...?

Toya: Okay, I understand. Let's keep doing our best to get even a whiff of that atmosphere...

Akito: Yeah...!

A few days later

Shibuya Park

Arata: ♪————!!

Kotaro: Whoa! That was awesome...! Way better than what you did during our other run...

Tatsuya: You didn't seem to be running on all cylinders then. Did something happen...?

Arata: Yes, and I need to apologize to all of you. The thing is...

Arata: My partner recently transferred to a hospital nearby and I've been helping him get settled...

Arata: I thought I'd found a way to separate my personal life from our practices, but I still wasn't able to focus. I'm sorry for causing you all so much trouble.

Kotaro: Your partner...? You mean the one you're trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND with...?

Tatsuya: You weren't always singing by yourself, Tono?

Arata: No, we were chasing after the same dream... But he got into an accident and isn't able to perform on stage right now.

Arata: I'm not going to say that I'm going to grant his dream for him, but for his sake, I need to find a way to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Tatsuya: So you're carrying his thoughts along with your own. That explains why you can sing with so much power, Tono...

Akito: What's the reason you wanted to start singing, Okazaki?

Tatsuya: Me...? Because this senior I looked up to liked to sing. The high school I used to go to was pretty rough...

Tatsuya: But they went after their dream of becoming a professional singer and didn't care if anyone laughed. I really admired that and decided to also start singing.

Toya: A senior...? I see.

An: What about you, Kotaro? Was there a moment like that for you?

Kotaro: Oh, when my little brother was born, I decided that I wanted to become a cool big brother. That happened to also be when I saw RAD WEEKEND, like Akito...

Kohane: Really...?! You have a little brother, Mita?

Kotaro: Yeah! He's still little, but really, really cute!

An: Aww, that's so adorable! Oh, that means you gotta kick butt during our event to show him just how cool a big brother you are!

Kotaro: R-Right...! He's still too little to come to our event, but I'll try to perform like he's actually there...!

Akito: (We still haven't gotten any closer to that atmosphere...)

Akito: (But the air between us is definitely starting to change bit by bit...)

Akito: (Or are we the ones that are changing...?)

Akito: (It's like we all want to sing more and more good songs together now...)

Arata: Alright, this place feels pretty good now... Let's start from the top and give it our best today, Shinonome...

Akito: Yeah...!

The day of the event

Crase Cafe

Len: Everyone! It's almost time for Akito and the others' event! Hurry!

Rin: We asked An to leave her phone in a place where no one else will find it, so we should be able to see everything!

Arata: Do you all feel ready?

An: Of course! Right, Kohane?

Kohane: Y-Yeah...! I'm ready to sing my heart out whenever!

Toya: Same. Plus, we've put together a good crew. I'm sure things will turn out well for us.

Tatsuya: I agree. However...

Tatsuya: No matter how much we practiced, it never felt like we ever came close to RAD WEEKEND.

Kotaro: The event itself is probably gonna be good, but...

Arata: ...

Akito: Don't give up before it's even started...

Kotaro: What...?

Akito: I believe that all of us here are serious about what we're doing.

Akito: No matter the cost, we all want to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Am I wrong in saying that we all feel that way?

Akito: If I'm right, we have to turn this event into a stepping stone towards achieving that goal.

Toya: Akito...

Akito: By struggling together, I'm sure we'll... No, I know we'll figure out something!

Akito: That atmosphere... The way it made everyone go totally nuts. We're gonna find a way to grab hold of it.

Arata: Shinonome's right...

Arata: We don't have time to worry about what we can or can't do right now. For the sake of our dream, let's go out there and put on the best event possible.

Akito: Yeah. We're gonna surpass that night!

An: Nice speech, you guys!!

Tatsuya: Griping won't get us anywhere... So let's just go all out during the show.

Kotaro: Yeah!! And all the way until the end!!

Akito & Arata: Yeah!

Akito: Our first event... "Break". Let's do this!

Arata: But we're still nowhere near achieving "that atmosphere"...

Akito: Yeah... But I think we're getting closer... Well, that's just my feeling...

Toya: No, I think so too. This audience looks beyond excited.

Kohane: What is this? It feels way different from any other event...!

An: Yeah...! It feels so good... Like the stage and crowd are both totally on fire...!

Toya: Is this what people mean by "rocking the floor"...?

Akito: Yeah, this has to be it...

Akito & Toya: ♪————!!

Kotaro: Man... I'm completely out of gas...

An: Same... Normally, we'd start cleaning up immediately, but let's take a quick break before we do.

Tatsuya: Yeah... I'm not gonna lie, I don't think I've ever used up so much energy before.

Kohane: I know what you mean. I always sang with everything I had until now, but...

Toya: Today felt different... It felt new...

Akito: So, what did you guys think...?

Akito: How was today's "atmosphere"?

Arata: Hehe. You really need to ask?

Akito: Yeah, I guess I don't need to based on the look on your faces...

Akito: We're still far from RAD WEEKEND... But we took a big step forward.

An: Yeah, we did! Also, it was super fun! It totally felt like I was gonna fly away while I sang!

Kohane: I know, right...?! Oh, I had this idea too...

Toya: Yes, Azusawa?

Kohane: Um... Can we try doing more events together as a group like this?

Akito: Huh?

Kohane: U-Um... Well...!

Kohane: We've sung alongside a bunch of other teams until now, but I've never felt this kind of excitement from start to finish during an event before...!

Kohane: It probably has to do with us taking our music seriously... And how we're all trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Kohane: I have a feeling that if we get to know each other better and practice like we really mean it, we'll be able to put on an even more amazing event...!

An: Kohane...!

An: Yeah, I'm all for that! Especially since we're so close to getting a hold of some kind of answer. It'd be a waste to just call it quits now.

Toya: I agree. If the rest of you are okay with it, I'd like us to go forward with this idea.

Kotaro: Yeah, of course! I mean, the show we just put on was so awesome!

Tatsuya: It really was... We probably wouldn't have been able to do so well at any other event.

Akito: Yeah... I'm with you there.

Akito: That just leaves...

Arata: I'd rather not take the scenic route when it comes to achieving my dream.

Akito: Hey, what's that supposed to...?

Arata: So, Akito, I'll be looking forward to singing more with you...

Arata: Because I believe we'll find the quickest way there as long as we're together.

Akito: Ugh... Do you have to do that every single time?

Akito: Anyway, everyone, let's decide what we'll be doing for our next event!

An & Kotaro: Yeah!

The next day

Akito: I mean, we didn't get anywhere close to what happened during RAD WEEKEND, but I'm glad everybody had fun.

An: Yeah, same! We even decided to start doing more events as a group!

KAITO: Really? That's a wonderful idea! That means you'll be making even more delicious pancakes for us.

KAITO: Anyway, I believe it's our turn now!

Kohane: Huh?

KAITO: Our event! We got all set up while you were making your own preparations.

MEIKO: Why don't we call it a celebration for an event well done? I'll be singing with everything I have for the first time in a while too.

Len: Okay, everyone, come to the terrace so we can get hyped up together!

Miku: You're welcome to jump in too.

Akito: If that's the case, we might just have to accept...

An: Yeah!! Here we go! Round 2!!

Kohane: Yeah!

Len: Alright, let's do this! Start the music!!

Live House

Backstage

Arata: Well... The big day's already upon us.

Arata: Do you all feel ready?

An: Of course! Right, Kohane?

Kohane: Y-Yeah...! I'm ready to sing my heart out whenever!

Toya: Same. Plus, we've put together a good crew. I'm sure things will turn out well for us.

Tatsuya: I agree. However...

Tatsuya: No matter how much we practiced, it never felt like we ever came close to RAD WEEKEND.

Kotaro: The event itself is probably gonna be good, but...

Arata: ...

Akito: Don't give up before it's even started...

Kotaro: What...?

Akito: I believe that all of us here are serious about what we're doing.

Akito: No matter the cost, we all want to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Am I wrong in saying that we all feel that way?

Akito: If I'm right, we have to turn this event into a stepping stone towards achieving that goal.

Toya: Akito...

Akito: By struggling together, I'm sure we'll... No, I know we'll figure out something!

Akito: That atmosphere... The way it made everyone go totally nuts. We're gonna find a way to grab hold of it.

Arata: Shinonome's right...

Arata: We don't have time to worry about what we can or can't do right now. For the sake of our dream, let's go out there and put on the best event possible.

Akito: Yeah. We're gonna surpass that night!

An: Nice speech, you guys!!

Tatsuya: Griping won't get us anywhere... So let's just go all out during the show.

Kotaro: Yeah!! And all the way until the end!!

Akito & Arata: Yeah!

Akito: Our first event... "Break". Let's do this!

Akito: (EVER's leading us off...! We're gonna come out of the gates swinging...!)

Tatsuya: Try to keep up, you guys...!!

EVER: ♪————!!

Kohane: Wow...!

Rin: <Whoa! They're so cool!>

Miku: <They're supposed to be the team that won against Kohane and the others before... No wonder too... This event's just getting started, but they've already turned everything upside down.>

Akito: Alright...!

Kotaro: ♪————!!

Luka: <Oh, I like him! He's got some force behind him♪>

KAITO: <It's like he knows exactly what his best qualities are! I'm having fun just listening to him, and the audience seems to be enjoying his performance.>

Kotaro: Thanks, everyone! But we're still just getting started!

Arata: Looks like we've gotten them good and excited. I'd say about as excited when the headliner for a normal event's about to take the stage...

Arata: But we're still nowhere near achieving "that atmosphere"...

Akito: Yeah... But I think we're getting closer... Well, that's just my feeling...

Toya: No, I think so too. This audience looks beyond excited.

Arata: That means this is our make-or-break moment. Wish me luck...

Akito: Wait, Tono...!

Arata: Hm? Yes?

Akito: Keep it going! We'll also keep it going once you're done!

Arata: Yes, leave it to me.

Arata: ♪——!! ——!! ——!!

Arata: (Incredible... I've never been in such an exhilarating event.)

Arata: (I have a feeling the audience's excitement level is this high because EVER and Mita carried the torch so far for us...)

Arata: (I still don't understand what it means to "take a look at this city," but...)

Arata: (I want to get them more excited...)

Arata: (For Soma's sake... With everyone here...!)

Arata: ♪————!!

Arata: Huff... Huff... The last time I was this tired was after I'd battled against Taiga.

Arata: Alright, Vivid BAD SQUAD! Give us a good finale!

Akito: Oh, we will...!

Kotaro: Alright, here comes our last act...! Give it up for Vivid BAD SQUAD!!

Tatsuya: Bring it on home, you guys...!

Arata: ...

Akito: ...!

Kohane: What is this? It feels way different from any other event...!

An: Yeah...! It feels so good... Like the stage and crowd are both totally on fire...!

Toya: Is this what people mean by "rocking the floor"...?

Akito: Yeah, this has to be it...

Akito: But this isn't the peak. The atmosphere from RAD WEEKEND is still lying up ahead somewhere...

Akito: All of you! Sing like you're gonna surpass it today!

Kohane, An & Toya: Yeah! Okay!

Kohane & An: ♪————!!

Akito & Toya: ♪————!!

Akito: ♪————————!!

Kotaro: Man... I'm completely out of gas...

An: Same... Normally, we'd start cleaning up immediately, but let's take a quick break before we do.

Tatsuya: Yeah... I'm not gonna lie, I don't think I've ever used up so much energy before.

Kohane: I know what you mean. I always sang with everything I had until now, but...

Toya: Today felt different... It felt new...

Akito: So, what did you guys think...?

Akito: How was today's "atmosphere"?

Arata: Hehe. You really need to ask?

Akito: Yeah, I guess I don't need to based on the look on your faces...

Akito: We're still far from RAD WEEKEND... But we took a big step forward.

An: Yeah, we did! Also, it was super fun! It totally felt like I was gonna fly away while I sang!

Kohane: I know, right...?! Oh, I had this idea too...

Toya: Yes, Azusawa?

Kohane: Um... Can we try doing more events together as a group like this?

Akito: Huh?

Kohane: U-Um... Well...!

Kohane: We've sung alongside a bunch of other teams until now, but I've never felt this kind of excitement from start to finish during an event before...!

Kohane: It probably has to do with us taking our music seriously... And how we're all trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Kohane: I have a feeling that if we get to know each other better and practice like we really mean it, we'll be able to put on an even more amazing event...!

An: Kohane...!

An: Yeah, I'm all for that! Especially since we're so close to getting a hold of some kind of answer. It'd be a waste to just call it quits now.

Toya: I agree. If the rest of you are okay with it, I'd like us to go forward with this idea.

Kotaro: Yeah, of course! I mean, the show we just put on was so awesome!

Tatsuya: It really was... We probably wouldn't have been able to do so well at any other event.

Akito: Yeah... I'm with you there.

Akito: That just leaves...

Arata: I'd rather not take the scenic route when it comes to achieving my dream.

Akito: Hey, what's that supposed to...?

Arata: So, Akito, I'll be looking forward to singing more with you...

Arata: Because I believe we'll find the quickest way there as long as we're together.

Akito: Ugh... Do you have to do that every single time?

Akito: Anyway, everyone, let's decide what we'll be doing for our next event!

An & Kotaro: Yeah!

The next day

Crase Cafe

Len: Nice work, you guys! That was such an amazing show!
