Kohane

Listen

Okay, I think we've covered all of this backstreet.
2

Len

Listen

<That was awesome!
Especially the shop that carried only rare instruments from around the world!>
3

Toya

Listen

Yes, I recognized some of their names, but I was seeing most of them for the first time.
4

An

Listen

Yeah! I thought the waterphone Akito got to play with was really interesting!
5

KAITO

Listen

<Looking at it, I honestly had no idea what sorts of sounds it would produce!>
6

Akito

Listen

Same.
7

Akito

Listen

Even when I did get it to make a sound, I couldn't believe what I heard. It was pretty strange.
8

An

Listen

But you apparently played it correctly!
The man at the shop even applauded you and said how good you were.
9

Kohane

Listen

It did look strange, but that sound was definitely unforgettable.
10

An

Listen

Yeah, it was a bit of a shock to my ears...

An

Hm?
Oh, my dad's calling!

12

An

Listen

Hey, what's up?
13

An's Father

Listen

<Sorry for calling you so suddenly. Are you free right now?>
14

An

Listen

Yeah, we're just checking out the area around the music school we stayed at last night.
15

An's Father

Listen

<Taiga's manager told me what happened...
Rough start to your trip, huh.>
16

An

Listen

So, you became worried and decided to call?
17

An's Father

Listen

<Yeah, I'd heard you found a safe place to stay, but I still wanted to check in.>
18

An

Listen

Thanks for thinking about us.
We're doing just fine!
19

An

Listen

I mean, we got to spend a night at THE New York Academy of Music, so... Let's just call it a happy accident.
20

An's Father

Listen

<If you say so...>
21

KAITO

<Your dad seems like such a nice person.>
22

Taiga

Listen

<Hey, can you guys hear me?!>
23

Kohane

Listen

Wait, that voice...
24

An

Listen

Is Uncle Taiga with you?
25

An's Father

Listen

<Yes, the idiot who can't book the right dates for a hotel is sitting next to me.>
26

Taiga

Listen

<Hey, don't call me that. I got a reservation. It just happened to be one month from now! Hahaha!>
27

An

Listen

Uncle Taiga...
28

An's Father

Listen

<Oh, don't worry...
He's going to get an earful from me later.>
29

Taiga

Listen

<Hey, I was kidding.
It's an American-style joke. Get it?>
30

Akito

Listen

We just got here, so I doubt any of us are going to understand.
31

Taiga

Listen

<Haha! Where did you learn to talk back?>
32

Taiga

Listen

<Anyway, I am sorry about all the trouble I caused you guys.>
33

Manager

Listen

<Don't worry, everyone...
Taiga's no longer allowed to handle anything like this.>
34

Taiga

Listen

<Hey, you don't need to pile on like that...>
35

Taiga

Listen

<I mean, I was just trying to be a generous host, since I was the one who invited them and all.>
36

An

Listen

Haha. It was actually kind of nostalgic.
37

An

Listen

Because you've had a habit of doing stuff like this for as long as I can remember!
38

Taiga

Listen

<The others don't need to know that.
I'm feeling lamer by the second.>
39

Taiga

Listen

<But that'll change soon.>
40

Taiga

Listen

<Because you're going to forget about everything that happened after seeing my event.>
41

An

Listen

Yeah, we'll be looking forward to that!
42

An's Father

Listen

<An, is Toya with you?>
43

Toya

Listen

Y-Yes, I'm here.
44

An's Father

Listen

<I'm deeply sorry for what happened this time around. I'll be sure to properly thank your brother later for what he did.>
45

Toya

Listen

No, that's okay...
He told me to let him know if we needed help.
46

An's Father

Listen

<I see...>
47

Manager

Listen

<Sorry, Ken, but we have to go...>
48

An's Father

Listen

<Ah, of course.>
49

An's Father

Listen

<Look after the others, An.
And let me know if anything else happens.>
50

An

Listen

Okay, I will!
51

An's Father

Listen

<And keep an eye on An for me, you guys.>
52

Toya, Kohane & Akito

Listen

Yes.
Yes!
Okay.

Len

<Things sounded really busy on their end.>
54

Miku

Listen

<They are in the middle of getting ready for their event, after all.>
55

Toya

Listen

Taiga and Ken both sounded very excited about it.
56

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I'm honestly pretty stoked about getting to hear those two sing again.
57

Kohane

Listen

Me too! The only other time I got to hear them sing together was that video of RAD WEEKEND.
58

An

Listen

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen them perform together since that day either, I think.
59

An

Listen

Hehe. I can't wait for their event!
