Miku and Len seemed so happy about getting to see where RAD WEEKEND happened.

Yeah, Len was practically bouncing off the walls.

Do you know when we'll get to go, Kohane? Did Uncle Taiga mention any details?

No, he said he'd get back to me soon...

So I promise to let you guys know when I do hear from him.

Yes, thank you.

Anyway, let's call it a day.

Yeah, see you guys tomorrow!

I hope we hear from Taiga soon.

Same.

Still, to think I'm gonna get to see COL again...

...

Hm? Why are you looking at me like that...?

It's just, I've already heard all that before in SEKAI.

You have?

Yes.

It's clear that this place means a lot to you personally on top of being where our dream was born.

Yeah, true.

I had a lot on my mind back then too...

...?

On my way home that night, I told myself, “I'm gonna put on an event like that someday... At COL!”

Also, something along the lines of wanting to perform in an event alongside Ken and everyone else.

That was when I decided to start learning how to sing.

I even started going to live houses every day to hear what they were singing, and I'd practice singing those same songs at home...

But Ken retired before I got a chance to actually enter into an event, and COL shut its doors for good.

...

I didn't know what to do with myself at first, but my goal of surpassing that night never dimmed.

If anything, those things that happened made me even more determined...

Which is why I can't believe I get to go back to that place.

Whoa, hold on... Deja vu...

Thank you, Akito...

Hm? Why are you thanking me?

Because you were willing to tell me more about just how important this dream is to you.

It's not gonna be easy...
I mean, impossible might not even cut it.

Nothing's carved in stone yet.
Also, I'm sure Taiga will be there with us when we're at COL.

Yeah, true.

...

No, this is bad...

Why?

Because... I feel way too giddy right now...

This live house means a lot to me, but I've got my head in the clouds...

You think so?

I believe having someone or something to look up to is very important. The same goes for having a dream.

I'm sure you know that best, Akito, based on what you're trying to achieve.

I mean...

You said that most, if not all, of the musicians on Vivid Street laughed at your proclamation.

And yet, you stuck with it.

That's why I'd like it if you could look at this as a reward for all your hard work, and just simply enjoy it...

What, like some kind of party?

Why not?
By doing so, you might even surprise Azusawa and Shiraishi.

Surprise them? I'll probably just creep them out.

Still... Thanks.

If you think it's okay, then I'll enjoy the moment for a little bit longer.

Good.
I'll be looking forward to seeing that side of you.

What? Why you...!
