Background
Azusawa Kohane gets lost while purchasing a CD for her mom, stumbling upon Shiraishi An and her fellow musicians performing inside Weekend Garage's backstage area. Though captivated by their singing, she runs away when confronted by An out of shyness. Coming back a week later, An still remembers Kohane and performs for her, also inviting the girl to sing. An realizes the potential Kohane has when singing, inviting her to form a band in her dream to surpass a legendary event dubbed RAD WEEKEND. She agrees, thus forming their duo group, Vivids. They also happen to meet BAD DOGS, Shinonome Akito and Aoyagi Toya, on the same day.
Akito invites the girls to attend an event, both girls accepting the offer. While forming a set list of songs in a playlist, Kohane discovers a song without a title, "Untitled." Upon attempting to download the song, An and Kohane get transported to SEKAI. The girls are greeted by Hatsune Miku, then MEIKO, who came to investigate the area. While resting in the Crase Cafe and being explained of their situation, Kagamine Len bursts into the conversation complaining about Kagamine Rin. In the middle of introductions, An realizes that she left Weekend Garage unattended, forcing an end to their time together. Kohane and An give their thanks for the singers' time, and leave.
SEKAI
The Street SEKAI is a multiple-alleyway area with walls of graffiti and posters, some being RAD WEEKEND posters. In an area conversation[1], there are multiple secret alleys to enter and exit from. One of the streets is known to have good acoustics, which Hatsune Miku frequently sings at. Going down into the alleyway leads to a cafe MEIKO operates, named Crase Cafe.
Crase Cafe is located at the end of what seems to be three to four alleyways- one of which being where the members join the world. Outside of the cafe, there are two wooden round tables with red chairs set up. Inside, there is a corner island with several red stool bar chairs. There are two rows of cabinets, the lower row being completely visible with different cups, jars, and bottles. There is a pale grey couch at the back of the cafe with two pillows on one side, one a pale blue and pastel orange[2] with a chalkboard with the menu hanging above it, a bookshelf with presumably cookbooks just across. There are four tables inside with multiple different styled chairs. The main light sources are the windows, though there are overhead lamps and lightbulbs.
Oddly enough, the cafe has two different types of doors. In the game's SEKAI world, the cafe uses sliding collapsible glass doors, it being open and free to walk in anytime. In the stories, the door changes to a French full glass panel door with long or paneled windows, the characters having to open the door to enter. The reason why the doors are designed like this are unknown, however it could be due to make the story seem more realistic with pull doors instead of it being wide open. Also, the sliding doors allow players to see the inside of Crase Cafe in the game.
You can decorate the SEKAI with a cafe signboard reading "Weekend Garage," an old DJing set, Ken's CDs, a pair of microphones, a cafe handbell, Len's headphones, a coffee grinder, RAD WEEKEND flyers, Vivid Street graffiti, and music speakers.
