You know it! My voice is in top condition today too, so we're gonna crush this!

Yeah! Let's get out there and win!
Oh...

Akito

Listen

Sounds like they just opened up...
6

Kohane

Listen

Ah...! There's my dad!
7

An

Listen

Really? Where?
8

Kohane

Listen

Um, the man wearing glasses...
Holding the large camera...
9

An

Listen

Oh, him? Hehe.
Now I know where you get your vibes from!
10

Kohane

Listen

Y-Yes, but... Gasp!
The staff just went up to talk to him!
11

An

Listen

Oh, right... Filming's prohibited at this event.
12

Kohane

Listen

After I told him not to bring his camera too...
13

Akito

Listen

What about you, Toya? How'd things go with your dad...?
14

Toya

Listen

Well...
15

Toya

Listen

I invited him to come today.
16

Akito

Listen

Huh?
17

Kohane

Listen

You invited him?
18

An

Listen

So, is he coming?
19

Toya

Listen

I don't know.
All I did was give him the ticket.
20

Toya

Listen

But it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
21

Toya

Listen

The only thing I can do now is sing.
22

Akito

Listen

That's true...

23

Akito

Listen

Then let's just do what we always do!
24

Toya

Listen

Right.
25

An

Listen

Looks like we can count on him today, Kohane!
26

Kohane

Listen

Yeah!
27

Toya

Listen

Count on me...?
28

Kohane

Listen

We were talking the other day about how much easier things are when you're out there singing with us.
29

An

Listen

Yup. And I think it's because your singing is like the backbone that supports the team.
30

An

Listen

So we'll be counting on you today!
31

Toya

Listen

I see.
Just leave it to me then...

MC

Our next group is Vivid BAD SQUAD!
33

Spectator A

Nice! They're the favorites for this one!
34

Spectator B

Eh, I doubt it. They fell apart during STAY GOLDEN the other time.
35

Spectator B

They're great singers individually, but it's like there's nobody holding them together, you know?
36

Bespectacled Man

K-Kohane! You can do this!
Show them what you're made of!
37

Kohane

Listen

D-Dad... Stop embarrassing me...
38

Toya

Listen

...
39

Toya

Listen

(My dad... He isn't here, unsurprisingly.)
40

Toya

Listen

(But that's not a problem.)
41

Akito

Listen

Let's do this, Toya.
42

Toya

Listen

Yeah.

Toya

(I don't understand... It's like I can hear everyone's voices much clearer than usual.)
46

Toya

Listen

(I know what's coming and how to adjust my voice to match theirs by just feeling instead of thinking.)
47

Toya

(Which means all that's left for me to do now is...)

Hey! How's this for falling apart?!
They're off the hook!

They're completely different from before...!

Huh? Whoa...!

Akito

Listen

Where've you been hiding that voice all this time, dude?!

59

Toya

Listen

No, it just happened by chance...
I had no idea I could sing like that either.
60

Akito

Listen

It wasn't by chance.
61

Toya

Listen

Huh?
62

Akito

Listen

It's because you got over whatever was going on between you and your dad.
63

Akito

Listen

Great job, Toya.
64

Toya

Listen

You must be right.
Thanks, Akito.
