I just wasn't good enough. If only I sang a little better, you wouldn't have had to hear that.
Akito
We still need to think about what to do during practice tomorrow too. I need to call An and...

But every single person that performed during RAD WEEKEND was a genius or even more than that. I'm sure you saw that too, no?
Arata
Your teammates are all more talented than you realize and they may even become first-rate performers in their own right in time.
Arata
But it's too hard for me to believe that you'll be up there with them when that time comes.

That new guy's pretty good and can sing, but he makes a bunch of little mistakes here and there...

Their songs end up being pretty lame...

Yeah, okay.
Sorry for keeping you like this. We've been at it since the morning, so I'm sure you're tired too.

I'm okay. We didn't do as well as we hoped during that last event, so let's keep trying and make the next one better...

We'll keep practicing as a team like always, but I'll duck out when I have to go do a solo event.
An
But if we're not changing how much we practice as a team, when do you plan on doing solo practices?
Akito
After team practices. I've already asked for fewer shifts at work, so I can practice at night.
Akito
This has nothing to do with that. I just need to start practicing even more is all...

An
No, but what else was I supposed to say? I doubt anything I said would've stopped him...
Toya
Yes, I don't disagree with you there. Akito can be unbelievably stubborn when he's like this...
An
We'll just have to wait and see for now. As anxious and restless as he may be right now, he might calm down a little after a while...

Those other guys have been getting all the attention lately, but that's not gonna stop me... Hm?
Akito
Also, An told me that you went and apologized to her and Kohane, but you still haven't said anything to us...
