So, what do you think?

Um, well...

It's a place that everybody in Vivid Street talks so highly about, so I was expecting it to be more like a big concert hall...

The distance between the stage and the floor felt no different from any other live house.

I agree.
I was also expecting to see something a little more extravagant.

Your group should've had free reign in terms of choosing a venue, Taiga, so why here...?

Because this place felt right...

Huh?

We wanted to perform here because we'd been singing here forever.

Forever...?
That long?

Oh, Granny, what's it like backstage here?

There were a ton of people performing that night, so I'm wondering how you got them to all fit back there.

You want to see? Come with me.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Geez, this place is tiny...!

Were they all sardine-canned in here...?

Yeah, it was pretty tight.
Hah hah hah.

A hot mess if you ask me.

We may want to wait until Akito and Shiraishi are done taking a look.

Hehe. Sure.

Still, this is really the stage where Ken and Taiga sang that night...

Yeah, this is where it happened...

(This is what An and Shinonome have been looking up to all this time.)

(What did they see? What was it like? I mean, it feels like it had a bigger effect on An than An's singing has had on me...)

(No...)

(We shouldn't be putting it on a pedestal. Our goal is to surpass RAD WEEKEND.)

Um, Ms. Owner...
Would it be alright if I stood on the stage?

Azusawa?

I... I want to see what everything is like from up there.

This is where An's dad and Taiga stood, so I want to see things from their perspective...

I see...

I don't see why not?

You want to really know what RAD WEEKEND was like, right? Then, you should be standing up there and not down here.

...!

How about it, Granny? Mind letting them on stage?

Fine, do whatever you like...

R-Really...?!
Thank you very much!

This feels weird...
We actually get to stand on that stage.

Pardon us.

Up we go!

You coming, Kohane?

One sec...!

(This is it...)

(This is where An's dad and Taiga really stood that night...!)

I'm pretty sure I was standing somewhere in the middle over there.

Oh wow...

Where were you, Akito?

I was more towards the left. Somewhere around there.

That was the first time I'd ever been to one of these events too. I wasn't used to having to wait around for so long...

But none of that mattered once everything got started.

...

<Kohane.>

Huh? Yes, Miku?

<Why don't you try singing?>

B-But...

<Don't you want to give it a try?>

<This is where it all began.
This is why our SEKAI exists.>

Right...

(Surpassing RAD WEEKEND wasn't originally my dream. It was something An gave me...)

(But now it's our dream.)

(So...)

Oh...

(She wants to know what that night was like.)

(She's trying to put herself in my dad and Uncle Taiga's shoes by singing.)

How about them apples, Granny...?

Hah.
I was planning on kicking them out if they ended up being no good...

But for now, let's keep listening.
