It's been a while...

Oh, Shinonome.
Yes, it has!

You're performing as well, I see?
Is Aoyagi not with you today?

It's just me today.

But don't think that I'm gonna let you walk away with a win so easily.

Such pressure...
You've practiced quite a lot.

This might make you mad, but that makes me happy. Seeing you like this gets me more motivated.

Whatever...
I'll make you eat those words later.

Haha. That's the spirit!
Let's make this a good one, shall we?

Next, let's give it up for Crash Gag!!

...

(Ken was right. This guy's way better than anyone else here.)

(But I worked harder than anyone else to get where I am now.)

(I'll make him pay for what he said that day right here, right now...!)

Next, from the team that's absolutely on fire right now, Vivid BAD SQUAD'S Akito!!

Hey, he seems different today. Like he has an aura or something, you know...?

Yeah, maybe it's because he lost to Arata. Is he here to get revenge?

Akito's good, but against Arata...?

(I don't care who I'm going up against, I'm not backing down.)

(I have to get past even my own limits if I want to surpass RAD WEEKEND...!)

♪ ————!

...!

♪ ————!　————!

(Ever since that day, I've been chasing and chasing...)

(Everyone laughed at me for saying that I'll find a way to surpass RAD WEEKEND even though I couldn't sing at all back then...)

(But I finally made it this far. I got back up every time I was knocked down.)

(So there's no way I'm backing away from another hurdle that gets in my way!)

Whoa!! I never knew Akito could sing like this...!!

No, he's never had this kind of power! Where did he learn to unleash like this?!

Shut up, you guys! I can't hear him!

♪ ————!　————!

I see...

I'll have to get serious too then...

*Huff*... *Huff*... *Huff*...

Akito, that was unbelievable!
Who can possibly top that?!

Next is the new kid on the block that everyone's talking about. Give it up for Arata!!

That was a solid performance. I didn't expect you to improve this much in less than a month.

But that's still not enough to beat me.

Huh...?

♪ ————————!

How...?!

...

Wh-What is this...?!

This goes way beyond what you'd expect to hear at a place like this...

How...?

Was he holding back that time...?

He's incredible! If he can do this much, he might actually be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND!

(After all that, I didn't even scratch the surface...)

...!

What a performance by Arata!!
Could this be our champion?!

There's no way anyone else here can top that!

I know, right?!

(What am I supposed to do...?)

(I didn't get any closer. I'm further back than I realized...)

(Is this it...? Is this my limit...?)

...

Akito!

Huh...?!

What? The event's already over?

If it's still on, can't we just jump in and crash it?

Hold on! Looks like we've got all of Vivid BAD SQUAD in the house!!

Why are you guys here...?!

You can still sing, right, Akito?

Huh? What do you plan on doing?

Isn't it obvious?
We're all doing a song together!

You're not alone anymore. Vivid BAD SQUAD is here!

Yeah!
Let's sing as a team, Shinonome!

As long as we're together, we'll be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND!

What are you saying all the sudden...?!

Akito...

I didn't realize just how hard you were working back then and even now...

Toya...!
You...

I have so much respect for the way you've been doing everything in your power to make your dream come true. I understand your desire to do everything yourself.

But you don't need to do that anymore...

...

If it weren't for you, Akito, I wouldn't have been able to get this far.

You were the one that lifted my spirits after that day we met on Vivid Street.

Now, it's my turn.

Let's keep performing and doing shows together until you get over this hurdle.

If you still feel down after that, I'll be there to lift you back up. I'll make sure that you'll be able to sing.

Because there's no way we'll be able to surpass RAD WEEKEND without you!

So if something's bothering you, ask us for help!

...

Seriously, you've been helping us so much until now! You even told me and Kohane what we needed to work on and deal with...!

She's right! It's all thanks to you, Shinonome!

I...

(I don't have the talent that they do...)

(But if we're gonna actually put on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND, I need to get better. I don't know if I can make that a reality the way I am now...)

(But...)

(I don't have time to think about whether or not I have any talent, or if I have to chase after anyone.)

(I have to keep standing back up if I'm gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND with them!!)

Oh, you're performing as Vivid BAD SQUAD now? Good, I'd like to see this.

Tono...
I know I don't have what it takes to beat you....

But we're gonna be the ones that surpass RAD WEEKEND...!

...!!
