Shiraishi An is female
 
Member of Vivid BAD SQUAD

"I know we have what it takes to put on the best show ever!"
―Shiraishi An (Original)
"We'll definitely surpass that night... We'll go beyond my father and the others' dream!"
―Shiraishi An (Brand New World)

Shiraishi An ((しら)(いし)(あん)) is a second-year student at Kamiyama High School. She is part of the street music group Vivid BAD SQUAD.

Background

Cheerful and honest, An helps out at Weekend Garage. She was working towards surpassing her father's team's legendary event, RAD WEEKEND, when she learned an earth-shattering secret about Nagi, his teammate and her role model. After learning about Nagi's hopes from her father, An has bounced back, pledging once more to surpass the legend.
—Profile


An is the daughter of the popular former musician Shiraishi Ken, who now owns a popular live cafe & bar called WEEKEND GARAGE, where she sometimes worked until the end of On Your Feet. An hopes to one day surpass the legendary event he put on, called RAD WEEKEND. She has been surrounded by music ever since she was young, and began singing partially because she felt a natural connection to it, and partially because she wanted to be like her dad.[1] She has a lot of connections in the street music scene, due to being Ken's daughter.

When Kohane came back to WEEKEND GARAGE after hearing An sing there, An invited Kohane to form a group with her, calling themselves Vivids. After some rivalry and conflict, they join Akito and Toya of BAD DOGS to become Vivid BAD SQUAD, though she and Kohane are still active as Vivids.

In her first year, An was classmates with Mizuki in class 1-A. In her second year, she is classmates with Akito and Nene. She is a member of the disciplinary committee, joining because a friend from middle school kept bugging her to.[2]. She also occasionally helps out the basketball team by being a stand-in for them,[3] an interest she shares with her childhood friend Haruka.

Appearance

An has amber eyes and long, waist-length black hair with blue tips, worn loose with little star accessories. She takes out her earrings and star accessories during school.[4] Her voice is strong and radiant.

Unit Outfit

Her outfit consists of a tucked-in black shirt, white shorts with neon green accents and two black straps on each side hooked to the front and back, and a teal-and-white oversized jacket which has the word "HEADS" printed on its left sleeve and neon green accented strings. She also wears white sneakers and a pair of chunky neon green headphones around her neck.

Her second outfit consists of a cropped black shirt with long open-shouldered sleeves and a dark blue-and-teal design from her sternum down, and baggy white pants with hot pink stripes down the sides of the legs and a black design on the cuffs. She wears a long black belt with the word "HEADS" printed along its length, black-and-teal running shoes, and a layered silver necklace. She swaps her hair clips for simpler ones.

Personality

An is a cool and candid girl with an unyielding spirit. She acts very affectionate towards her close friends, and is very kind and forgiving. She leaves a strong impression on others and is hard to forget. An encourages those around her to be the best they can. However, her and Akito often bicker due to their long-standing rivalry.

When An is part of the disciplinary committee at Kamiyama, she gets nervous when asking someone to follow the rules, getting shaky and stuttering when asking someone to tuck in their shirt.[4]

Etymology

Shiraishi (白石) means "white stone".

An (杏) means "apricot".

Relationships

Subpage: Relationships

Azusawa Kohane: Fellow group member and close friend. They consider each other partners, and while An tends to be overprotective towards Kohane, she is learning to rely on her more equally. An gave Kohane confidence to perform.

Despite this, An is also shown to have feelings of inferiority towards Kohane. In Bout for Beside You, she becomes afraid that Kohane would one day leave her behind after her rapid improvement during Awakening Beat, and was also jealous of her vocal skill. She is trying to keep up with Kohane. She later confesses these feelings to Kohane, how she didn't want Kohane to leave her. However, much to her surprise, Kohane actually improved greatly due to her groupmates. Kohane realizes An was lonely without her and decides to give her all her support in the future.

It's suggested that the other characters in the cast have interpreted them as being more than just partners, as when An vaguely informs Akito, Toya, Mizuki, and her father that she's going on a date in her Peak Excitement! side story, they all immediately know that it’s with Kohane without needing a moment to consider it. When An expresses disappointment at their lack of surprise, Akito bluntly asks her "Who else could it be?" while Mizuki points out that An talks about Kohane so much that they immediately knew. Tsukasa, Rui, and Mizuki also work together to make her a Kohane doll for her birthday.

Shinonome Akito: Fellow group member. As revealed in the Vivid BAD SQUAD unit story, An and Akito have known each other since middle school due to Akito making frequent visits to WEEKEND GARAGE after his experience with RAD WEEKEND. However, it's implied that they weren't particularly close during that time due to the amount of distance and animosity they treated each other with. On An's side, she referred to Akito by his first name due to them being in the same age group, but would otherwise refer to him with the rude form of "You", which is "あんた" in Japanese, until they became more friendly.

After becoming Vivid BAD SQUAD, a more friendly rivalry forms between them and they bicker over various things, much to Kohane’s dismay. Their rivalry drives them to do their absolute best in each performance and they have great teamwork for surpassing RAD WEEKEND's popularity.

Aoyagi Toya: Fellow group member. They've known each other since middle school. However, it's implied that they weren't particularly close until after Vivids and BAD DOGS join together to become Vivid BAD SQUAD. Toya recognizes her talent and her dream of surpassing RAD WEEKEND, stating that she is "like Akito" in that regard, and An appears to mutually respect him.

Hinomori Shiho: Met for the first time during In This Singing City when Shiho picks up the flyers from Kohane. The two reunite at the mall and explore for the day, running into Ena and Nene as well.

Hanasato Minori: Friend through Kohane following Scramble Fan Festival! The two got even closer during the events of Time to Hang Out, where Minori asked An about what Haruka was like when they were kids. An told her she had a great time, and promises they'll come back to Phoenix Wonderland some day.

Kiritani Haruka: Close childhood friends since elementary school. However, the two were separated when Haruka went to Miyamasuzaka and An went to Kamiyama High. They still hang out together outside of school. The two have a bit of a rivalry and would compete in things such as seeing who could eat their lunch faster in elementary school. It is also reflected in their Trust Rank title "Rivals in Everything but Studying".

Hinomori Shizuku: Despite meeting for the first time in the wedding photoshoot, An already knew about Shizuku since she used to be part of the idol group Cheerful*Days, while Shizuku knew about An from Haruka. Shizuku later helped An's modeling for a wedding photoshoot. Since then, they have become good friends.

It was implied that An was attracted to Shizuku to some degree, as in Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness!, she becomes uncharacteristically flustered after accidentally tripping and falling into her arms and soon after thinking to herself that she was "thrilled" to be so close to Shizuku’s beauty. Kohane also describes An as being "cuter" when she's with Shizuku, referring to how shy An becomes when she's "spoiled" by people, especially by people she considers mature and cool. However, An clarifies in Chapter 8 of the event story that she admires Shizuku.

Shinonome Ena: Despite attending the same school, Ena and An don't properly meet until Chapter 2 of What lies behind. What lies ahead. due to Ena attending night classes. An is immediately taken with Ena after meeting her, and says that she always wanted to meet her after hearing stories about her from Akito. We find out from Mizuki's Reverse Hermit side story that An walked away with a different impression of Ena than the version of Ena that Akito described as "difficult" to his unit members. Mizuki, who concedes to Akito's interpretation of Ena's character, decides not to break the truth to An to spare Ena's honor.

Akiyama Mizuki: Good friends and schoolmates. It is shown that An is one of the few people who treats Mizuki like a normal person. An invites them to the school festival with the reassurance that they won't stand out too much, due to many people already being in costumes. They especially enjoy talking about fashion together, and Mizuki also likes to scare An with ghost stories. The two were also classmates during their first year in Class 1-A.

In What lies behind. What lies ahead. An also helped Mizuki keep their complicated situation with their peers a secret, as she avoids going too into depth about it when asked by Ena how Mizuki is in school after noticing Mizuki's visible discomfort, instead only mentioning their grades and issues with their attendance and the teachers. When the two discuss the interaction in Mizuki's Reverse Hermit side story, Mizuki thinks to themself that An was kind for being considerate of them.

Hatsune Miku: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Kagamine Rin: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Kagamine Len: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Megurine Luka: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

MEIKO: VIRTUAL SINGER and mentor. Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness! reveals that An admires MEIKO for being a kind and dependable older sister figure, which is what An aspires to become.

KAITO: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Shiraishi Ken: An's father and mentor. Famed for being a part of the street music group RADder and for his role in RAD WEEKEND, An looks up to her father and aspires to be a great street musician like him. They have a very close and trusting relationship. An often helps out at her father's live bar and café, WEEKEND GARAGE.

Kotaki Taiga: Ken's old teammate and An's "uncle." He has known An since she was a child and treats her like family. However, when An asked him to mentor her on music, he refused for unspecified reasons, much to An's frustration.

Kotaki Nagi: Ken's old teammate and Taiga's younger sister. They have known each other since An was a young child, and An has a great deal of respect and trust for Nagi as an older sister figure and mentor. The two would often hang out together and do things like go to the arcade to play fighting games.[5] However, despite their closeness, An and Nagi lost contact after Nagi presumably went to the United States with Taiga following RADders' disbandment. Though in Light Up the Fire, An learns of Nagi's fate and the fact she had asked everyone to hide the truth from An and her group so she wouldn't be upset. The news leaves An devastated, but also more determined than ever to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Mita Kotaro: A friend of BAD DOGS and An's acquaintance. An would often forget who he is during their initial interactions due to his infrequent appearances in the story. However, they have become a bit closer after Vivid BAD SQUAD hosted their first event in THE POWER OF UNITY, which Kotaro also participated in. In An's Nuanced Language side story, Kotaro understood the feeling An wanted to convey when describing to Akito what to add to his demo, and he expresses the same amount of frustration as An when Akito doesn't understand their explanation.
