Dad and his team always seemed completely fine after singing for an entire day, so we've gotta keep building up our stamina.
Akito
(She's right about us needing to build our stamina. Plus, we've gotta keep polishing our rhythm and tone.)

(If we're serious about surpassing RAD WEEKEND, we're gonna have to find a way to create an even more insane atmosphere.)
Akito
(I've even seen some events put on by musicians who are supposedly on Ken and his team's level... But none of them have even come close.)
Akito
(That time, every team participating in RAD WEEKEND jockeyed to see who's the best... And joined together to go for the top.)
Akito
(They weren't just being driven by passion... All the teams battled to become the top dog, and it created an “atmosphere that pushed everyone forward”...)

Anyway, I guess we'll find out when we get there! Let's take a break and hop on over...!

But this still feels very sudden.
I wasn't sure what to expect when you asked to see us...

Miku, MEIKO, you both gotta be in it too!
It'll be such an amazing event if we have all of us in it!

Yup! We decided to put one on ourselves after seeing that video of RAD WEEKEND with you guys!
Len
Yeah! We're thinking about using the cafe's terrace! It's big, has all the equipment we need and plenty of seats!
MEIKO
Hey, I didn't explicitly give you permission yet... But it looks like I don't have much of a choice now. Be sure to clean up after yourselves, okay?
An
After that, I gave it more thought and...
I decided that I'm gonna look for a partner that's just like my dad, practice a ton with and give it another go!

It honestly wasn't anything special.
All I really did was ask around, book a place, rehearse and take the stage.

Since we're going to be putting on an event, why don't all of you also try putting one together?
Len
Yeah!
I bet it'll turn out great since you have Kohane and the guys now. Plus, you've all been practicing a ton together!

Good point...
I was waiting until we'd gotten better as a team, but it might actually be a good opportunity for us to give it a try.

It wasn't just any old event where “a bunch of good teams gather to blow the roof off a place”...

Rin
Yeah, I thought it was a really amazing event because all these really amazing people were there to sing!
Akito
You're not wrong about needing amazing skills, but that alone won't make an event great...
An
It was just, well... Awesome!
Everybody there was singing with everything they had like their lives depended on it, you know...?

I'd been to a few events with people as good as my dad and his team before, but that night was different... Nothing else has ever come close to that atmosphere.
Kohane
Which is why it felt so heated.
Those teams were ready to put everything on the line, right?

Toya
Yes, but they also sort of became a single unit that focused on achieving one goal...
Akito
It was like every team participating RAD WEEKEND came together to produce that unbelievable atmosphere...
Akito
But I have no idea how we're going to achieve what they did... Which is why putting on an event ourselves might give us a clue.
An
In that case, I'm in!
I mean, a lot of stuff in life involves just trying it out and seeing what happens, right?

Yeah, I agree...!

Hehe. You're all still growing, so why don't we take this opportunity to have lunch?
