Good job today, too! See you guys tomorrow!!
Akito
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Akito
Then, we'd better head to the station too—hm?
Akito
What's up, Toya? You're weirdly fidgety.
Toya
Ah, it's nothing. It's just that when I think about hosting an event iwth you all...I'm very excited. I might stay up thinking about it when I get home.
Akito
I get the feeling, but you better rest up properly. We're gonna start planning for the event tomorrow.
Akito
Like the venue, the setlist... Most importantly—who we're gonna be doing this with.
Toya
Yeah, you're right. Hm?
???
♪——————!
Akito
That voice is...?
— Some time later —
Kotaro
♪——————! ♪——————!
Akito
That's...
Kotaro
...Ah. The high notes there, I can't get it right. Hm?
Kotaro
Yo, it's Akito and Toya! Are you heading home?
Akito
Yeah. Are you practising? It's rare to see you out this late at night.
Kotaro
Yeah! I've been full of motivation lately!
Akito
Huh. Are you gonna participate in some big event or something?
Kotaro
No, nothing like that...
Kotaro
Well...y'know. It's just that you guys have been doing pretty amazingly, so...
Toya
What do you mean?
Kotaro
What I'm saying is...ugh—
Kotaro
While I've been watching you guys and Touno, I've started thinking, maybe I should be trying a little harder too.
Kotaro
I thought it'd be impossible to surpass RAD WEEKEND, but when I saw you guys giving it your all and stuff, I thought, maybe it's not just a dream...
Kotaro
Well, I'm a pretty average musician, y'know? But I think I'd still wanna try taking part in some crazy event at least once in my life.
Kotaro
...Anyways, even if I'm not as good as you guys, I've started thinking about stuff like that too!
Akito
...Hmmm? You have, huh.
Kotaro
Wh-What!? Is there something funny about that!?
Akito
—Nah, there's nothing funny about it.
Akito
Then, you'll be our rival, too. Whenever we're up against each other, you'd better be prepared.
Toya
Yeah, we'll challenge you with our full power.
Kotaro
Y-Yeah...!!
Akito
Then, sorry we interrupted your practice. Keep it up.
Kotaro
—Yeah! You guys be safe on your way home!
Akito
...Heh, to think even he's getting motivated now.
Toya
You seem happy, Akito.
Akito
Huh? You think?
Akito
Well, maybe it is more exciting that more people are paying attention to RAD WEEKEND.
Toya
Other than us, Touno-san has been the only person who cared so much.
Akito
...Touno, huh. I've hear that ever since he lost to Taiga-san, he's been singing all over the place...
Akito
I wonder what he's doin' right about now?

Arata
...
Arata
(How much time has passed since that happened?)
Arata
(Since I lost to Taiga-san—)

Taiga
--Arata. If you want to surpass RAD WEEKEND, then remember this at least.
Arata
...Eh?
Taiga
(Whispers to Arata)
End flashback
Arata
"Look at this town"...huh.
Arata
(I've taken part in every event on Vivid Street that I could, I've met basically every musician that I can. The town itself, I've walked around enough that I've memorized every back alley.)
Arata
(But despite all that—I still can't figure out what Taiga-san's words mean.)
Arata
A message...? Who could possibly be texting me at a time like this—
Arata
He's...coming back. To this city...
Arata
(Then...I can't be worrying about this now.)
Arata
(If I don't, I—)
Passerby A
—And just now, An-chan said at the cafe! Vivid BAD SQUAD are gonna host an event soon!
Passerby B
Heh! I wonder what kind of event it's gonna be?
Passerby B
Those guys, every time I see them they've improved. I bet it's gonna be a pretty good event, don't you think?
Passerby A
Right! I wonder who they're gonna do it with?
Passerby B
Hmmm...I feel like the number of teams around here that are on their level is pretty limited...
Arata
Vivid BAD SQUAD is hosting an event...
Arata
(That's to be expected. To get closer to RAD WEEKEND, that's a path they have to take.)
Arata
(I'll have to too, someday...)
Arata
(Now that I think about it, I've joined lots of events in this city—)
Arata
(But I've never done an event with musicians who want to surpass RAD WEEKEND like me.)
Arata
Maybe...I'll be able to discover something new.
