Toya's Room
Toya
(...I'd like to heat up the sound here.)
Toya
(I'd like people to feel a strong impact——like the emotionally moving nature of witnessing RAD WEEKEND for the first time.)
Toya
...Phew. My first song is somehow taking shape.
Toya
Alright. I'll play it from the top.
Toya
(...It's not bad. I think I was able to express the feelings I wanted to put into it, as well.)
Toya
(But...for some reason, I feel like it's lacking something.)
Toya
(Every one of the songs that were played at RAD WEEKEND lit a fire in our hearts.)
Toya
(Like a heat that erupts across your entire body...I, myself, experienced that feeling as well.)
Toya
(But the song I just wrote is still leagues away from that sensation.)
Toya
(It somehow seems too shallow...there's no rush of heat. It's become inoffensive.)
Toya
(In the past, when Souma-san was guiding me through track-making, and he taught me how to create a powerful sound——I thought I'd managed to grasp how to pour these important feelings into it...)
Toya
(...What should I do? There's the option of continuing to adjust this...)
Toya
...No, I'll start from scratch. I won't be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND with this song.
Toya
Once again, from the top.
One week later
Toya
...
Toya
(...I've changed my approach since then, and composed a number of songs...)
Toya
(But all of them are lacking something. I don't feel the same heat I did from then.)
Toya
(...What could possibly be the cause of this?)
Toya
...Can I...really do this?
Toya
If this is how I'm faring with just the first song, then how will I be able to make all of——
Toya
...No. There's no point in wallowing in feelings like this.
Toya
Ken-san and the others all have high expectations of me. I have to make this, no matter what.
Toya's Father's Voice
——I'm home.
Toya
...! Dad...
Toya
(He's later than usual. ...Now that I think about it, he mentioned something about doing a concert at the hall next time.)
Toya
(Which means he must be busy with preparations. He said they would be playing a number of his compositions as well, so he must be arranging——)
Toya
...Ah.
Toya
(...I wonder how Dad would feel about this song.)
Toya
(Dad is a composer as well as a performer. Perhaps as a creator, he would be able to identify the problems with this song——)
Toya
(No...)
Toya
(It's likely he still doesn't think highly of our music. I'm not sure he would even bother listening...)
Toya
(And even then, if I were to ask myself if this was a song that was good enough to let Dad listen...)
Toya
(——No. I have nothing to lose.)
Toya
(I don't have time to be picky with my methods right now.)

Toya
Dad. I apologize for bothering you as soon as you get home, but do you have a moment?
Toya's Father
...What is it? I have preparations to attend to in the morning, so make it quick.
Toya
I'd like you to listen to a song that I wrote.
Toya's Father
...A song that you wrote?
Toya
Yes. You see, right now, I'm
