Akito

Listen

So everyone's cool with this set list for our next event?
2
Yeah, I have no complaints. This is probably the best song order based on today's practice too.

An's Father

Listen

Welcome! Whoa, it's you...!
Long time no see!
4

Customer

Hey, Ken. It's been a while.
I was hoping to talk to you about something... Hm?
5

Customer

Wait, they're all already here!
Perfect timing!
6

Kohane

Listen

Hm? Is that customer looking our way?
7
Huh? Hey, isn't that...
8

Customer

You're Vivid BAD SQUAD, right?
Mind if I request a song?
9

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
10

Akito

Listen

Old friend of yours?
11

An's Father

Listen

Yeah. He worked as sound technician in a live house nearby and we often went for drinks after a show.
12

An's Father

Listen

He helped me with a lot of stuff when I opened this shop too, like the sound system for the stage area.
13

Old Regular

I was out of the area for work and only came back recently. I decided to go to a live house for the first time in a while and saw you guys perform.
14

Old Regular

You obviously had great potential so I just had to talk to Ken about you guys.
15

Old Regular

I had no idea it was actually you and your friends, An! I thought it sounded like your singing style, but what a pleasant coincidence.
16
Haha, I've grown up a lot since you last saw me.
Were you surprised to learn it was me?
17

An's Father

Listen

Her ego's grown a lot bigger too.
18
Say that again, dad?
19

Old Regular

Haha. You two haven't changed at all.
20

Old Regular

Anyway, mind if I ask you guys to sing something?
21
You don't even have to ask!
Alright, everyone! Let's do this!
22
His advice is always spot on, so he can definitely help us!
23

Akito

Listen

If that's the case, I don't mind at all. I'm not about to turn down a request from one of Ken's friends.
24

Kohane

Listen

Yes! Same here!
25

Toya

Listen

Same.
26

Akito

Listen

Let's see... Then why don't we do that thing we're planning to do for our next event?
27
Yeah! Maybe we should film it too... This'll be the first time we actually perform it on stage after all.
28
Dad, can you film us with my phone?
Just press this button once we start.
29

An's Father

Listen

No problem.
30
Awesome! Let's make it a good one, guys!

Old Regular

Bravo! Bravo! That was fantastic!
Thank you! You've made my day!
32
Haha. You're more than welcome!
33

Old Regular

Your voice is so much more powerful than before too, An. Not to mention your stage presence! I couldn't look away!
34

Old Regular

As for you, the versatility of your voice really added depth to the group's performance.
35

Old Regular

And the way you sing sounds emotional, but is actually the result of carefully observing those around you. It provides a good balance for the team.
36

Old Regular

And you... Your voice never wavered even during the difficult parts. This sort of pitch accuracy had to have come from years of hard work.
37

Old Regular

Each member shines in their own way and that's exactly why I'm excited to see how far you can go as a group!
38
Thanks so much! And we won't disappoint you because we're gonna be the ones to surpass RAD WEEKEND one day. Just you wait!
39

Old Regular

Great! You have my support!
40

Akito

Listen

Alright, that's all for today. Remember to meet here instead of at the park tomorrow because we'll be rehearsing with actual equipment.
41
Got it. Kohane, tell your dad we can't wait to meet him!
42

Kohane

Listen

I will! I'll be sure to give him the tickets and event flyer too.
43

Toya

Listen

(Maybe I'll do some solo practice after this....)
44

Toya

Listen

(Dad's still going to be awake now so...)
45

Old Regular

Oh, hey. Do you have a minute?
46

Toya

Listen

M-Me...?
47

Old Regular

Yes. I was just wondering... It's unusual for kids your age to sing on pitch so well.
48

Old Regular

Could it be that you have experience with classical music?
49

Toya

Listen

...!
50

Toya

Listen

Yes, that's right.
I've been doing it since I was little.
51

Old Regular

I knew it!
It all makes sense now.
52

Old Regular

Maybe that's why your singing felt...
You know, rigid at times.

53

Toya

Listen

Huh?
54

Old Regular

I feel like your performance would be more interesting if you tried expressing yourself in your own way a little more, you know...?
55

Old Regular

That said, you should absolutely nurture your existing talents too. Your pitch accuracy is the backbone of the team, so keep working on it!
56

Toya

Listen

I... I see...
Thank you.
57

Toya

Listen

(My singing feels rigid...)
58

Toya

Listen

Excuse me, Shiraishi.
Can I see the video you just took?
59
Sure, of course!
I'll send it to you later.
60

Toya

Listen

Great, thanks.
Scramble Crossing
61

Akito

Listen

See you tomorrow, Toya.
Don't practice too hard on your own, okay?
62

Toya

Listen

I know. I won't.

The video Shiraishi sent... Here it is.

65

Toya

Listen

(He's right...)
66

Toya

Listen

(Akito, Shiraishi, and Azusawa's singing is more free-form and expressive.)
67

Toya

Listen

(But mine is...)

Toya's Father

Listen

That's not the right rhythm.
Do it again.
69

Toya's Father

Listen

Read the sheet music more carefully and stick to it.
How many times do I have to tell you this?
70

Toya's Father

Listen

No deviations whatsoever!
71

Toya

Listen

Am I...
72

Toya

Listen

Am I being held back by classical music...?
