Part 1

Shibuya Park

Kohane
Sorry about doing this during practice, everyone, but I took some photos for our flyer and really wanted you to take a look at them.
2
Akito
That's all good.
It shouldn't take up much time.
3
An
Yeah! I've been looking forward to seeing what kinds of pics you took for us!
4
Kohane
Thanks!
So... Here they are in digital form.
5
Akito
Hmm...
6
Akito
Hey, this one with the live house's sign in it looks cool. I like the composition you chose for it too.
7
Toya
Yes, her broad use of negative space adds a nice dimension to this photo.
8
Kohane
Hehe. I really tried with that one.
9
An
Hehe.
See? Isn't Kohane amazing?
10
Akito
Why are you the one bragging?
Also, quit yammering and start looking through these.
11
Kohane
What do you guys think?
Would any of these work as a flyer?
12
An
I like the one that was taken in front of the live house or the one with the back alley in it.
13
An
Oh, the one of Vivid Street's really good too, but so is the one with my place peeking it's head out.
14
An
Everything you took looks way too good, Kohane! I can't decide at all!
15
Toya
I understand how you feel, Shiraishi.
Each one has a very nice feel to it.
16
Akito
Saying, “They're all good,” isn't exactly helpful. It's not gonna help us put any flyers together.
17
An
Yeah, I know...
18
Toya
Azusawa, there's something I'd like to ask you. Would you mind?
19
Kohane
No, what would you like to ask?
20
Toya
Each of your photos feature a building as their subject, but they all seem to be taken from a distance. Is there a reason behind that?
21
Kohane
Oh, um... This event's supposed to be about everyone who performs on Vivid Street, right?
22
Kohane
That's why I want our flyer to capture that.
23
Toya
I see...
24
Kohane
Also, I'm worried that these subjects won't tell the whole or real story... Like I won't be able to capture what's really going on, you know?
25
An
The real story...?
26
Kohane
Uhh... If someone saw a photo of me with no background in it, they probably wouldn't get a good idea of who I really am...
27
Kohane
But if I were to take it in my room, they'd have a better idea since they'll see all the PXL merch and photos I took decorating it.
28
Toya
That makes sense. It brings a person's individuality and other traits to the surface.
29
An
That's so cool, Kohane!
I didn't realize you put so much thought into these!
30
Kohane
No, it's just... My dad always tells me to figure out what I really want to take since where a photo's taken and in what situation are so important.
31
Kohane
Vivid Street in particular has an incredibly unique feel to it, so I want to make it so people see that.
32
An
Yeah, this place has a certain warmth or smell to it that you can't find anywhere else!
33
Akito
Yeah, I get what you're trying to say. Singing somewhere else just isn't the same as singing here.
34
Akito
What do you call it...? The air...? The atmosphere...? No, that isn't any different from the feel of this place...
35
Toya
Yes... I'm having trouble coming up with the right word as well...
36
Toya
But I believe that your photos capture the very essence of what we're struggling to describe, Azusawa.
37
An
Yeah, Kohane, you really are the best! What if you end up becoming a professional photographer?!
38
Kohane
What?! Th-There's no way I could become a pro. My dad's the one who taught me all this and he just does it for fun.
39
Kohane
Moreover, I think I'm able to take photos like this now because of my practices with Taiga.
40
An
Huh? Uncle Taiga?
41
Kohane
Yeah. For instance, Taiga showed me how there's only one way from Vivid Street into the back alley in this photo.
42
An
Wait, this alley! It's the shortcut we always take to go to Weekend Garage from the live house on the street that's one block down.
43
Akito
Yeah, we've been using it a lot too.
44
Toya
Yes, we have. It's narrow and a bit difficult to navigate, but it's always fun to see all the graffiti that people have drawn on the walls.
45
Kohane
Exactly! Taiga showed me all these spots that give off that unique Vivid Street vibe.
46
An
Now I get it!
47
An
If you put this much thought into these pics, I kinda think we should have a bit more of a serious discussion as to which to choose.
48
Kohane
I'm glad you feel that way, but we still need time to practice...
49
Toya
That's okay.
I'm sure we'll still have plenty of time for that.
50
Akito
Yeah. Also, our flyer's gonna play a big role in how we get the word out about our event.
51
An
Definitely. We're going through all this trouble, so we should try to make a flyer that also tries to surpass RAD WEEKEND!
52
Akito
You're raising the bar way too high.
53
An
No, I'm not!
Kohane can do it.
54
Toya
Yes, I agree.
55
Kohane
You guys...
56
Kohane
Thanks! I'll do my best to put a good flyer together!
