A Few Years Ago
Middle School Akito
——Everyone, good job today.
Staff
Yeah, Shinonome-kun. We'll be relying on you again.
Middle School Akito
Of course, thank you very much.

Middle School Akito
——Today's event felt pretty decent, but I'm still nowhere near RAD WEEKEND....
Middle School Akito
(My high notes have gotten more stable recently, and I've started bein' able to get the audience pumped.)
Middle School Akito
(But, I still haven't practiced enough.)
Middle School Akito
(I'd better start jogging so I don't lose stamina in the second half. Other than that...)
Senior Musician A
Ah...hey! It's him!
Senior Musician A
I told you about him before, didn't I? Shinonome Akito.
Middle School Akito
(This guy... He's always on my ass...)
Senior Musician B
Ohhh, the one who's always breathing down your neck about surpassing RAD WEEKEND?
Senior Musician C
Well, I'm sure he's underestimating it. It's not something you can surpass that easily.
Middle School Akito
It doesn't matter what anyone tells me about it. I knew from the start that it wouldn't be easy.
Middle School Akito
It won't take me long to surpass half-assed pricks like you, who get off on kickin' people down without any plans of going higher.
Senior Musician A
Huh...You better not be lying about that.
Middle School Akito
Hah? Course I'm not.
Senior Musician A
If you've got the guts to talk like that, prove yourself. There's an event at Crawl Green this week, you'd better show your face.
Middle School Akito
...Crawl Green? The place where RADder sang for the first time...!?
Senior Musician A
Yeah, I've been gathering a group who're decently skilled. It seems like recently you've been getting better, so I thought I'd do you a favor by inviting you over.
Senior Musician A
You're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND aren't you? This should be a breeze for you. Or are you gonna run away with your tail between your legs?
Middle School Akito
...! I...
Middle School Akito
(I know my own skill level better than anyone.)
Middle School Akito
(I'm not a person who can perform at that venue yet. But...)
Middle School Akito
——Got it. I'll take you up on that offer.
Middle School Akito
(——I don't wanna run anymore.)
Middle School Akito
(I decided I was gonna stake my life on singing——!)

Middle School Akito
(No, that's wrong, it's not like that. I need to raise my voice more——!)
Middle School Akito
(Shit, my voice wavered... I can't nail the chorus if I can't do this part...!
Middle School Akito
(I don't have any time left until the event next week... I'll be singing at RADder's origin...)
Middle School Akito
(I'll be standing at a place I've always wanted to sing at, so I can't afford to half-ass this!)
Middle School Akito
(I have to do everything I can right now, even if it means practicing every second...!)

Senior Musician A
I don't care if he's a middle schooler or not, RAD WEEKEND is a legend around here.
Senior Musician A
I can't stand it when these brats preach about surpassing it like it's some sort of game.

Middle School Akito
(What's with that...)
Middle School Akito
(...Fuck. Each and every one of them, saying whatever shit they want...damn it...!)
