Akito

Listen

Alright, we're all busy after this, so let's call it a day.
3

Toya

Listen

Right.
Do you think you'll make it to your practice with Taiga in time, Azusawa?
4

Kohane

Listen

Yeah!
I should be okay as long as I leave within the next ten minutes.
5
Why don't you take a quick break since you still have time? I'm sure you're tired after singing so much.
6

Kohane

Listen

Thanks, I think I will.
7

Kohane

Listen

Oh, before I forget... I have a question for you guys.
8
Hm? What's up?
9

Kohane

Listen

It's about RAD WEEKEND...
10

Kohane

Listen

You guys said that there aren't any videos, but isn't there anything left that can tell me what the actual show was like...? Photos, anything...?
11

Akito

Listen

Photos? There might be some of the venue, but no cameras were allowed inside.
12
Exactly.
Still, why this all of a sudden?
13

Kohane

Listen

So I was talking to Minori and another classmate today about how we all practice...
14

Toya

Listen

I see.
So that we all have the same mental image.
15

Kohane

Listen

Yeah. That's why I want to learn more about what RAD WEEKEND was really like.
16

Toya

Listen

Yes, that would be ideal.
17

Toya

Listen

We already know how important it is to have the same picture in our minds, so it should certainly help us grow as a team.
18

Akito

Listen

But we've already told you everything we know...
19
Yeah, like which teams were there and their set lists... Also, we already lent you all the CDs that they had out at the time.
20
That's on top of all of my dad and Uncle Taiga's stories, so I'm not really sure what's left...
21

Akito

Listen

If it were any other event, we could just ask around at the live house where it took place...
22

Akito

Listen

But the venue for RAD WEEKEND closed ages ago and the owner's retired since.
23
Yeah, it happened at this really old place called “COL”, and RAD WEEKEND became its final event.
24

Kohane

Listen

I see...
25

Toya

Listen

That might just leave...
The event's atmosphere.
26

Toya

Listen

From what I've heard, it was nothing like what anyone had experienced before...
27

Toya

Listen

And there really isn't any way for either myself or Azusawa to fully comprehend that.
28

Kohane

Listen

R-Right!
I'd like to know more about that as well!
29

Akito

Listen

I mean... I dunno...
How do you even describe it...?
30
Same.
You can't really put it into words...
31
It was just... Absolutely mind-blowing, you know?
32

Toya

Listen

So it was completely inexplicable...
33

Kohane

Listen

Yeah, I guess so...
34

Kohane

Listen

(Isn't there anything we can do to learn more about what really happened during RAD WEEKEND?)
35

Toya

Listen

Are you okay for time, Azusawa?
Don't you have to go practice with Taiga soon?
36

Kohane

Listen

No, I completely forgot...!
Sorry, I need to go!
37
Have fun!
I'll try asking around about RAD WEEKEND while you're gone!
38

Kohane

Listen

Okay! Thanks, An!

Kohane

Listen

He should be around here somewhere...
40

Taiga

Listen

There you are.
Sorry for the wait.
41

Kohane

Listen

Thank you for meeting again with me today, Taiga!
42

Taiga

Listen

Alright, let's get started.
43

Kohane

Listen

What are we going to do today?
44

Taiga

Listen

Well...
How about a little walk?
45

Kohane

Listen

O-Okay...
46

Taiga

Listen

Not in the mood?
47

Kohane

Listen

N-No, it's not that...!
48

Kohane

Listen

We took a walk last time, so...
49

Taiga

Listen

Haha. That's true.
But we're not just walking around today.
50

Taiga

Listen

I want you to take a good look at this city and all its people, and let it really sink in.
51

Kohane

Listen

At this city...?
52

Kohane

Listen

Oh, that's right. You mentioned that last time...
53

Kohane

Listen

How there's something you want everyone to “see through music.”

Sound Effect: Play

54

Taiga

Listen

They say that about 80% of the information we take in comes from what we see.
55

Taiga

Listen

You can learn a lot from just people-watching, looking around the city, seeing all the colors and gauging how close or far away certain things are.
56

Taiga

Listen

But where does that leave our ears?
What can we learn from hearing?
57

Kohane

Listen

We can... Hear how people feel...?
58

Taiga

Listen

Yeah, exactly.
That also includes how far away they are and which way they're facing.
59

Taiga

Listen

Still, our eyes still end up being more powerful than our ears. Which means there's only so much you can do with sound alone.
60

Taiga

Listen

But we're here to sing.
61

Taiga

Listen

So the question becomes, “How do you make people see through music?”
62

Kohane

Listen

See through music...?
63

Taiga

Listen

Yeah.
More than that depending on the situation.
64

Taiga

Listen

Anyway, my point is that just singing isn't enough. I want you to at least take that away from this...
65

Kohane

Listen

Okay...!
66

Kohane

Listen

Hang on. Does this walk have anything to do with what happened back then...?
67

Taiga

Listen

That you'll have to figure out for yourself. I mean, you still have plenty of time...

Kohane

Huh...?!
W-Wait, please!

Kohane

(Absorb what you see... Just absorb...)
70

Kohane

Listen

(Oh, I didn't know there was an instrument shop here...)
71

Kohane

Listen

(We usually practice just over there too...
I guess I don't know this area as well as I thought...)
72

Live House Staff

Hey, Taiga, what's up?!
You even brought Kohane along.
73

Taiga

Listen

We're taking a walk.
I'm showing her around this area.
74

Live House Staff

Nice.
You're always welcome to sing here if you're ever free. Just let me know and I'll open up a slot for you.
75

Taiga

Listen

Yeah, could be good for a change.
I'll think about it.
76

Live House Staff

You will?!
Thank you!
77

Kohane

Listen

(Hehe. He's so popular around here.
So many people have called out to him already...)
78

Musician

Hm? Kohane, is that you?
79

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
Oh, I remember you! We were in a lot of the same events when I was performing on my own...!
80

Kohane

Listen

(No, I need to stay focused.
Taiga probably won't like it if...)
81

Kohane

Listen

(Oh, he's still talking, so I guess it's okay for me to do the same.)
82

Musician

What brings you here? Wait...
Are you with Taiga?
83

Musician

So the rumors were true?
He's taken you under his wing?
84

Kohane

Listen

N-No, he's just been giving me some advice and observing how I practice!
85

Musician

That's still unbelievable!
This is Taiga we're talking about! A world-famous musician!
86

Musician

You should've seen him during RAD WEEKEND. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe what happened.
87

Kohane

Listen

You saw him perform?
88

Musician

Yeah, of course!
89

Kohane

Listen

I see... I really envy you.
90

Musician

Hm? Why's that?
91

Kohane

Listen

I... I just wish I could've been there.
92

Kohane

Listen

Everyone's told me all about how great RAD WEEKEND was, but there's no way for me to actually see for myself...
93

Musician

Yeah...
Plus, Ken went into retirement...
94

Musician

But there should be a video of it somewhere. I remember seeing someone recording everything.
95

Kohane

Listen

What...?
96

Kohane

Listen

But I was told that no cameras were allowed.
97

Musician

You're right, but there was definitely someone there taking a video. It was too dark to see who, but my guess is that they were staff or something.
98

Kohane

Listen

...!
99

Kohane

Listen

Th-Thank you so much!
I-I'll try to see if I can find that video!
100

Musician

Yeah, good luck.
Actually, Taiga might know who.
101

Kohane

Listen

Okay!

102

Taiga

Listen

Hey, thanks for waiting.
Hm? What's up...?
103

Kohane

Listen

Um...
104

Kohane

Listen

Do you know where the video of RAD WEEKEND is?!
