Ken

Listen

Alright.
2

Ken

Listen

Like I was saying on the way over, this live house is on the same level as Rodin, where you all performed the other day.
3

Ken

Listen

Not only that, some of the teams you're going to see are signed to major labels. Get ready for a tough battle.
4

Ken

Listen

That being said...
I believe you all have what it takes to win now.
5
Oh, we will.
6
Like Akito said to the entire city, we're gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND during our next event. This is all for that.
7

Ken

Listen

Then, give it absolutely everything you've got. Leave nothing behind.
8

Everyone

Listen

Right!
Got it!

Toya

Listen

There's our cue...
11

Kotaro

Listen

Alright, you guys, show them what you've got! I'll do the same when I go next!
12
Yeah! We're gonna give it everything we've got!
13

Akito

Listen

Then, let's go!
14

An, Kohane & Toya

Listen

Yeah!
Okay!

15
Whew!
Talk about an exhausting day!!
16

Kohane

Listen

I'm tired too...
All the other teams were so good...
17

Kohane

Listen

But I'm really glad we still won.
18

Toya

Listen

I couldn't believe it when they couldn't decide on a winner and asked us to sing another song... But that might've been our best performance yet.
19

Kotaro

Listen

I still can't believe how good you guys have become. I mean, you went toe-to-toe with an amazing team like them.
20

Akito

Listen

You say that, but try not to forget that you also went all out today.
21

Kotaro

Listen

Well, I figure I at least need to match you guys for passion... Since I can't match your skill, and I need to do everything I can to catch back up to you after being out of action for so long.
22

Akito

Listen

Yeah, we'll be counting on you.
23
Oh, Dad, that reminds me.
About practice after this...
24

Ken

Listen

Yeah, sorry.
I completely forgot that I have to go meet with the owner of COL...
25

Ken

Listen

You've all had a pretty taxing day, so why don't you all call it a day here?
26

Ken

Listen

Use this time to do whatever you like.
You can practice by yourselves, work on those tasks I assigned all of you or do something else.
27
Okay, got it!
28

Ken

Listen

Alright, just try not to push yourselves too hard.

29

Akito

Listen

Okay, now what?
30

Toya

Listen

I'd like to work on my task...
But my pitch today during the chorus is still bothering me. I think I'd like to practice that part first.
31
Okay!
What are you gonna do, Kotaro?
32

Kotaro

Listen

I'm gonna head back and practice on my own. My little brother's been asking me to come home early when I can.
33

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Your little brother must love you very much. I hope you two get to spend a lot of time together today.
34

Kotaro

Listen

Me too! So, I'll see you guys tomorrow!

Sound Effect: Play

35

Kohane

Listen

Then, I'll take a short break before practicing...
36

???

Listen

<Hey, you guys!>
37

Akito

Listen

Hm? That sounded like...

38

Akito

Listen

I had a feeling it was you, Len.
39

Len

Listen

<Oh, you're all here!
Are you guys free to talk right now?!>
40

Kohane

Listen

S-Sure.
But why the hurry? What's wrong?
41

Len

Listen

<So, the thing is...>
42

Len

Listen

<SEKAI has a new area!>
43

An, Toya & Akito

Listen

What?
44

Kohane

Listen

A new...area?
Street SEKAI
???

46
Whoa...! This is so cool!
It's like a big plaza!
47

Toya

Listen

You're right...
This place is completely new...
48

Akito

Listen

It's huge. And it just appeared overnight?
49

Rin

Listen

Over here, you guys!
50

Kohane

Listen

Hi, Rin!
Oh, everyone's with you!
51
So, what's the deal with this place...?
52

Miku

Listen

We're still not sure either.
Luka just brought us over.
53

Kohane

Listen

I see.
But how or why did just appear like this?
54

Luka

Listen

Hmm... I can't say for sure...
55

Luka

Listen

But your feelings may have something to do with it.
56

Akito

Listen

So, our feelings created this new area? Is that actually possible...?
57

MEIKO

Listen

SEKAI was born out of your feelings, so it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to say that strong feelings can cause it to transform.
58

Toya

Listen

Transform...?
59
But our feelings haven't changed that much or anything...
60

Akito

Listen

Yeah.
Our goal's still the same.
To surpass RAD WEEKEND...
61

KAITO

Listen

True...
62

KAITO

Listen

Oh, but taking a look around may help us figure out what feelings went into this place being created. After all, those feelings should manifest in some way in SEKAI!
63

Kohane

Listen

What feelings went into this place...
64

Kohane

Listen

(The plaza's so big...
There's a lot of graffiti on the walls—)
65

Kohane

Listen

Huh...?
66
Find something, Kohane?
67

Kohane

Listen

Oh, um...
It's just that the wall of that big building over there seemed a little funny.
68

Toya

Listen

Yes, it is a bit odd...
69

Toya

Listen

Most of it is covered in flyers and graffiti, but the middle is completely devoid of anything for some reason...
70
Almost like there's a hole in it.
But why...?
71

Akito

Listen

Yeah, it is kinda weird, but we don't have enough information to work with right now...
72

Akito

Listen

So, why don't we try searching for clues somewhere else?
73

Toya

Listen

I agree. We should get the lay of the land first... We can start with one of these alleyways.
74

Kohane

Listen

Oh... Okay!
Alleyway

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

75

Len

Listen

Whoa!!
This place is totally different from the streets we're used to!
76

Akito

Listen

Yeah.
It's like we're suddenly overseas...
77

Toya

Listen

Yes, this resembles the streets of Boston.
78
It does?
79

Toya

Listen

Yes.
When I was little, my dad held a concert over there and I got to go with him. This is very similar to what I saw that time.
80

Kohane

Listen

Oh...
Now that you mention it, one of the other alleys I saw from the plaza looked like a street in Mexico I saw in a book of photos when I was little.
81

Miku

Listen

Then, does that mean we're standing in the middle of a collection of streets from around the world...?
82

MEIKO

Listen

That may be significant.
83

Len

Listen

It's so cool how we get to see all these different sights! Let's keep exploring, you guys!

84

Rin

Listen

Hey, Len, wait up!

Sound Effect: Play

85
It isn't safe to rush like that, you two.
86

Akito

Listen

*Sigh*
They never change.
87

Len's Voice

Listen

Huh?!
Wh-What is this thing?!
88

Toya

Listen

...?!
What happened?!
89

Rin's Voice

Listen

E-Everyone, come here!
90

Rin's Voice

Listen

There's a huge wall blocking the way!

Sound Effect: Play

91
Whoa...!
92

Kohane

Listen

I-It's so big...!
93

Akito

Listen

There's plenty of buildings around here...
But this wall's taller than all of them.
94

Toya

Listen

And it looks very sturdy.
No windows or passageways either. Almost like a castle wall.
95

Akito

Listen

But why's this path blocked?
There's no way ahead.
96
Hmm...
Wanna try finding a way around it?
97

Toya

Listen

Yes.
There were many ways out of the plaza, so one will surely take us around this.
98

Akito

Listen

Then, let's try that side alley over there.
99

Akito

Listen

I wasn't expecting to find another giant wall here...

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

Sound Effect: Play

100

Luka

Listen

I just tried one of the other alleys, but it was also blocked by a wall!
101

Toya

Listen

Could it be that all these alleyways are blocked by this one wall?
102

Kohane

Listen

So, we won't be able to see what's on the other side? I was hoping to see if we could find out what feelings went into making this place...
103

Akito

Listen

Still, what's with this wall?
They don't seem natural at all.
104

Toya

Listen

I agree.
It's as if it suddenly sprang up to block our way.
105
Did this wall also come from our feelings?
106

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
107
I mean, it's pretty prominent.
Why else would it exist, you know?
108

Kohane

Listen

Right... Yes, that might be worth keeping in mind.
109

Kohane

Listen

But what sort of feelings would lead to this wall being created...?
110

Toya

Listen

If I recall correctly, it's common for walls to appear in a person's dreams when they're feeling stressed or pressured in some way.
111

Akito

Listen

I guess we might be feeling some pressure lately... We did say that we're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND no matter what.
112
Hmm... Which means...
113
This wall...
It represents how we feel about RAD WEEKEND...?
114

Toya

Listen

Yes, that is a distinct possibility.
115

Akito

Listen

It makes sense if you think how huge it is, like no one could ever even think to try getting over it.
116

Kohane

Listen

Yeah...
117

Miku

Listen

These streets from around the world may also be relevant to that.
118

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
119

Miku

Listen

Remember what you said you're going to do after you surpass RAD WEEKEND?
120
Oh...!
Right...!
121
We're gonna go beyond Aunt Nagi's dream. In other words...
122
We're gonna stand on top of the world...!

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

123

Akito

Listen

...!
124

Miku

Listen

I don't know for sure, but that's my guess.
125

Kohane

Listen

So...
126

Kohane

Listen

If we do manage to surpass RAD WEEKEND, then we'll be able to see even more of SEKAI on the other side of this wall?
127
Yeah!
That's gotta be it!!
128

Miku

Listen

I'm starting to like this place.
All your dreams have a tangible shape here.
129

Luka

Listen

Alright!
Now that we know what kind of feelings helped produce this place, let's try exploring all these alleys!
130

KAITO

Listen

Oh, nice idea!
Strolling around streets from around the world is bound to be fun!
131
Yeah, we can visit all those streets and visualize what it'll be like when we take on the world!
132

Akito

Listen

Then, let's take a walk.
I do wanna go back and check out that last alley.
133

Toya

Listen

Me too.
I'm still curious about the one I spotted from the plaza earlier.
134

Kohane

Listen

Oh, there's also one that caught my eye...
135
Hmm... Checking out all of them is gonna take pretty long, so why don't we split up and meet back in the plaza later?
136

Akito

Listen

Sounds good. That way, we'll still be able to have practice.
137

Toya

Listen

Then, let's give ourselves thirty minutes to explore and meet back in the plaza afterwards.
138

Kohane

Listen

Okay!
