Vivid BAD SQUAD's just off the hook!!
Spectator A
Whoa... They were good the last time I saw them, but did they get better since then...?
Spectator B
Yeah, there's no stopping them either. They're gonna go places if they keep this up...

Toya
Hm? Akito, you're already here...?
Do you always start warming up this early in the morning?
Do you always start warming up this early in the morning?
Akito
It takes a while for me to get my throat warmed up. Our next event is coming up, so I need to be here two hours in advance during full practice days.
Toya
True. However, I wouldn't so much call it eagerness instead of something that just naturally started happening over time.
Akito
Then we're one and the same. On top of that, I feel like we're finally hitting our stride as a team.
Akito
(Toya's been singing better ever since he got over whatever was going on between him and his dad.)
Akito
(An isn't making the same mistakes she did when we first joined up anymore and really gets how to sing as a group now.)
Akito
(And Kohane's been growing faster than any of us expected. Who knows how high her ceiling goes...?)
Akito
(We're gelling as a team and finally even managed to catch a decent wave. I've gotta keep doing what I can too...)
An
Yeah, I thought that maybe I should start warming up sooner. But you're here an hour early... When exactly did you wake up?!
An
Oh, hold that thought!
The four of us singing together here would cause a bunch of noise complaints.

KAITO
I thought that I should stop by and ask for something to eat, but MEIKO wasn't there. She might've been getting ready in the back.
KAITO
You two always have your names written on the ones that are reserved for you, so I thought that MEIKO left this one in there for me.
Len
Okay, it's my fault for not writing my name on it, but you should at least ask first...!
Len
Well...
If you'll teach me everything you know, then I might think about forgiving you...

Miku
It's a device that lets you record sounds, save songs and even mix them together however you like. I'm sure you've seen other DJs use them before.
MEIKO
Yes, he is. He's very good at it too and knows how to get a crowd going. Len's sort of an apprentice of his.
Len
Hey, everybody!
Since you're all here, wanna try being a DJ with us? KAITO said he'd show me a bunch of stuff!

(He said he'd teach him how to use his sampler, but it sounds like they're just messing around...)
Akito
Okay, it's about time we got started. Getting here early won't mean anything if we keep being entranced by them.
