The Next Day
Vivid Street
Vivid Street
Nagi
...
Nagi
(Only five months left...huh.)
Nagi
(I kinda...can't think of anything. Even though I have so little time left.)
Nagi
(Only five months left. I...)
Nagi
(What should I——)
Middle School An
——Alright, I'm gonna start! Nagi-san! You have to listen to me, okay?!
Nagi
(...It's no good. I promise I would teach her to sing...I have to keep it together in front of An.)
Nagi
...Then let me hear it.
Middle School An
Yeah! I went and practiced all the high notes, you know! I'm gonna start!
Middle School An
♪——————!
Nagi
(...An really has improved. She's like a different person from who she was a month ago.)
Nagi
(She's already absorbed what I taught her just recently...)
Middle School An
——How was that!?
Nagi
Yeah, look at you go! Your high notes are coming out so beautifully now!
Middle School An
Eh, really!?
Nagi
Really, really! I'd never lie to you, An.
Townsperson
Yeah! You were so cool! Your voice totally lifted off! Like, suuu——paaan! It felt amazing~
Middle School An
Ehehe, thanks!
Townsperson
But you're still a little uneven, like usual, and it might be better if you were able to control the finer details.
Middle School An
Hm——. I think I get it!
Middle School An
Then, maybe something like this?
Middle School An
♪————! ————!
Nagi
(Ah, she fixed it. She's got a really good sense for this.)
Nagi
(...Back when I was a kid, the people in town looked after me like this, too. They taught me to project my voice, and how to face my singing correctly.)
Flashback
Townsperson
That being said, Nagi, the fact that you're able to sing this well at this age, you've got a real bright future ahead of you!
Townsperson
Ah, you're saying you're gonna take the world, right? If you wanna do that, you've gotta have more tricks up your sleeve!
End flashback
Nagi
(...It's because I had this town that the me of today exists.)
Nagi
(I fell in love with music in this town. I practiced singing, and I met Ken. I dreamed so many dreams with them, and then——)
Middle School An
————♪
Nagi
(I——)
Nagi
(I...it's so simple...I want to celebrate my last days in this town. In this place I love so much——)
Nagi
(...Yeah, I've decided.)
Nagi
(What I'll do before the end.)
Middle School An
——Phew. Hey, how was that!?
Nagi
Yeah, you were so good, I almost took you for someone else. If it's you we're talking about, An, I bet you can go even further.
Middle School An
Yay! Alright, I'm gonna keep up the pace, and get even better than you, Nagi-san!
Middle School An
And when that happens, we have to do an event together, Nagi-san!
Nagi
Eh...
Nagi
(...Together...)
Nagi
(I'm sure if I was able to sing with a future An, who's improved even more...it'd be so much fun.)
Nagi
(But, when that time comes, I'll be...)
Nagi
(...I know...maybe——)

That night
Ken
What'd you call us out for at a time like this, Nagi?
Taiga
...Are you feeling alright today?
Nagi
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me.
Nagi
——You know, I've decided. What I wanna do before the end.
Ken
...You've already found your answer?
Nagi
Yeah. The decision was easier than I thought it'd be.
Nagi
——For my end, I wanna do an event in this town.
Ken
An event...?
Taiga
In this...town?
Nagi
Yeah.
Nagi
In this town that I love so much, I wanna make a super-heated event——enough that it'll go down in history! That's what I think!
Nagi
...I really do think it's selfish of me to ask this of you, but...
Nagi
Hey——Taiga, Ken.
Nagi
I want you to be there with me. For this event.
Ken
I understand how you feel, but...can you really do it, considering your health...?
Nagi
I already talked to the doctor about it. I said there's something I have to do before the end, so I needed his help for it.
Nagi
Well, he did say that he wouldn't recommend it because it was reckless...but he understood after I kept asking for it.
Ken
...But...
Nagi
...Today, when I was teaching An to sing, she said this to me.
Nagi
"I'm going to get even better than you, Nagi-san! And when that happens, we have to do an event together!"
Nagi
——I realized, when she said that. I'll never be able to stand on the same stage as An.
Nagi
But...you know what?
Nagi
When I'm gone, I'm sure An...no, not just An, I'm sure that in this town——someone will always, always keep singing.
Nagi
Like how I...how the three of us sang in this town. ...Just like us, when we were young.
Nagi
And, that got me thinking.
Nagi
If someone like us back then were to watch our event, and feel something from it, and then they went on to create the best music ever——
Nagi
——My dream, our dream, would be able to walk alongside theirs.
Ken
Nagi...
Ken
(The generation...that comes after us, huh...)
Ken
...I see how it is.
Ken
I'm a parent now, so...I understand, I think.
Ken
As the kids grow and move ahead of us...I'm sure that alone will create hope.
Nagi
...! Then——
Taiga
——You've gotta be kidding.
Ken
...!
Nagi
Taiga...
Taiga
I don't mind that you wanna do an event here, at the end. It's the end of your life, and I'll do anything to make it happen.
Taiga
But...y'know, "our dream will walk alongside the next generation"...I can't forgive that way of thinking.
Taiga
I——I have no intention of entrusting our dream to some bastards I don't even know the names or faces of..!
Ken
Taiga...that's not what Nagi's trying to say. Nagi wants to entrust her dream——
Taiga
It's not what she said, it's how she said it. Are you really alright with leaving your dream, our dream, in the hands of a bunch of strangers?
Taiga
——You can leave that dream to us!!
Taiga
Ken and I can still sing. We can carry it for you!
Taiga
We'll show you that our music can take over the world...!
Taiga
Then we'll show you——in the biggest venue in the world! We'll let you know, even if you're wearing headphones in the afterlife!!
Taiga
That without a doubt, our music is the best in the world!!
Taiga
That your dream——can come true!!
Taiga
That's...that's the only thing I can do for you...!
Taiga
...
Ken
Taiga...
