Part 1

Shibuya Park

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

1

Toya

Listen

Okay... It may be better to emphasize the bass section more for that last part.
2

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I agree.
That should give the chorus a little more pop.
3

Toya

Listen

Then, let's make that adjustment.
We can have Azusawa and Shiraishi listen to it tomorrow.
4

Akito

Listen

Tomorrow...? That's sooner than normal. Are you sure?
5

Toya

Listen

Yes, and please don't worry.
I don't plan on staying up that late to work on this.
6

Toya

Listen

What about you though? I noticed that you came here early to practice on your own. Please, try not to push yourself too hard...
7

Akito

Listen

This is nothing.
And I don't want to make you worry again by doing too much.
8

Akito

Listen

I mean, between practice and making your own track, you're not exactly taking it easy either. That means I should also be doing what I can.
9

Arata

Listen

Sounds like your efforts have lit a flame under Akito.
10

Toya

Listen

The same goes for me.
11

Toya

Listen

Like him, I want to do what I can as well.
12

Kotaro

Listen

These guys are like...
13

Tatsuya

Listen

Well, I see no problem if they're saying that they're okay.
14

Tatsuya

Listen

However, how one performs can change drastically based on the way they spend their time preparing.
15

Arata

Listen

Yes, that's very true.
You can try all you want, but it's all for naught if you're too exhausted.
16

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I get that...
But don't you guys do stuff outside of our joint practices?
17

Kotaro

Listen

I usually crash and fall asleep whenever I feel really tired. I'm usually all ready to sing by the time I wake up the next day!
18

Akito

Listen

I was asking about how you guys practice...
19

Tatsuya

Listen

He may be a bit of an extreme example, but I also like to rest whenever I can.
20

Tatsuya

Listen

I usually use that time to listen to our songs or watch videos of our shows to imagine how we're going to perform.
21

Arata

Listen

I also prefer to take it easy the day before long practices or rehearsals.
22

Arata

Listen

I may try to get a breath of fresh air by traveling somewhere far away to take photos or something else that's unrelated to music.
23

Arata

Listen

Those sorts of trips can also lead to some nice inspiration. Seeing things from new perspectives tend to help me put on better performances.
24

Kotaro

Listen

See? I'm not crazy!
Taking breaks and resting is really important!
25

Akito

Listen

It sounds less compelling when you say it...
26

Tatsuya

Listen

In any case, working hard isn't the only way to put on better performances.
27

Tatsuya

Listen

So, why not set aside some days here and there to stop and smell the flowers?
28

Toya

Listen

Yes, I see... Then, it may be good for us to make some adjustments to our practice schedule.
29

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I agree.
But for now, we gotta keep working on our new songs.
30

Akito

Listen

We can come back to that after the event.
31

Kotaro

Listen

...
32

Akito

Listen

What is it? You got something to say?
33

Kotaro

Listen

No, not really.
It's just... You seem all prickly most of the time, but you're really not deep down.
34

Akito

Listen

Huh? What are you talking about?
35

Tatsuya

Listen

Yeah, I thought you were pretty stubborn and unbending at first, but you're more flexible than I initially realized.
36

Akito

Listen

Give me some credit...
Of course I'm willing to try things that could prove beneficial to my team.
37

Tatsuya

Listen

Haha. Yeah, sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean or anything.
38

Tatsuya

Listen

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to hearing Vivid BAD SQUAD's new songs.
39

Akito

Listen

It goes without saying that we're gonna blow the roof off the place.
40

Arata

Listen

Hehe. I like that...
With the time we have left, let's all do our best to make our event a good one.
