I've changed...?

Yes, you have.

You used to be such a timid girl, but you're openly expressing how frustrated you are now.

What...?

I doubt the old you would've said that about losing to someone as formidable as Taiga.

Oh...

After spending so much time singing with and against people from that city, Kohane...

It's clear that you have quite a bit of confidence in your singing abilities now.

Singing has become part of your identity.

Part of my identity...?

Yes.

I believe your frustration stems from you taking your craft as a singer so seriously and wanting to get even just a bit better than you are now.

Don't ever let go of that feeling.

Because I'm sure it'll help you discover the next path you need to go down.

Yes, I'm in full agreement with Miku.

I know you all lost quite a few things because of what happened with Taiga.

But I think this is the perfect time to take a step back and see what you have left to work with.

Because I think what you've gained until now far exceeds what you've just lost.

What we've gained...

Yes, you have a point...
Not too long ago, I didn't even have a good understanding of my own feelings. But now...

I found a new dream, and was able to tell my dad how I really feel in my own words...

And I'm still not very good at it, but I've even learned how to turn my feelings into new songs.

Yeah. And me...

The old me was so caught up in his own problems that he couldn't see what was going on around him sometimes...

But now, I see things more clearly.
I'm better at not losing sight of what's actually important compared to before.

And it's all probably because I know I have good teammates around me now...

As for me, I met the best partner and best team ever.

I've been able to experience so many new feelings and sensations because of that...

And because of you guys...

I'm standing here today. I was able to make it this far...

You've all gained so much during this journey.

(He's right...
That includes me. I've also made a lot of discoveries along the way.)

(But not entirely under my own power.)

I have all of you to thank...

Miku, you guys...
Shinonome, Aoyagi, An...

I am who I am now because of all of you.

I'm here because you all stayed by my side. You watched over me and gave me so much support.

Hehe. I feel exactly the same way, Kohane!

Yeah, me too...
We probably wouldn't be standing here right now if we hadn't met that day.

Right.
That also includes Ken, the others from our group...

All the locals, Nagi, who left us RAD WEEKEND, and...

And Taiga...

(That's right.)

(He taught me what's most important when it comes to singing, and how hard it's going to be to actually surpass RAD WEEKEND...)

(He was my teacher.)

(Which is why I feel both grateful and frustrated at the same time right now...)

Then...

Then, I...
