Nice work today!
See you two later!

Yeah, see you tomorrow.

Alright, time for us to head to the station and... Hm?

What up, Toya? You seem anxious.

Oh, it's just...
I think I'm excited about us putting on an actual event. It'll probably be on my mind for a while after I get home too.

I get how you feel, but you gotta relax for now. We're gonna talk more about what to do for it tomorrow anyway.

From picking a venue to putting a set list together... And most importantly, figuring out who's gonna be performing with us.

Oh, that's right.
Hm?

♪————!

That voice...

♪————! ♪————!

It's him...

*Sigh*
I still can't hit that high note... Hm?

Hey, Akito, Toya.
You guys heading home?

Yeah. You still practicing?
We never see you out here this late.

That's right!
I've been super stoked lately!

You have? Are you gonna be in a big event or something?

Not exactly...

I mean, it's just...
You guys have been on fire...

What do you mean?

I mean... So...

Seeing you guys and Tono doing so well made me realize that I should probably try a little harder.

Surpassing RAD WEEKEND sounded totally impossible at first, but I'm starting to think that you guys might actually pull it off...

I'm not exactly the greatest musician out there, but everyone wants to do a huge event at least once in their lives, you know?

I get I'm not as good as you guys, but that's sort of been on my mind lately...!

Hm? You, huh...?

S-So what?! Is it weird for me to think that?!

No, not at all...

Alright, that makes you our rival, so you better be ready if we meet during a battle.

Yes, we'll be giving it everything we have.

O-Okay...!!

Anyway, I think we've kept you long enough. Good luck with practice.

Thanks!
You guys get home safe!

I never thought he'd become this motivated...

You seem happy, Akito.

Huh? I do?

I guess it's because I'm seeing more and more people make surpassing RAD WEEKEND their goal...

Outside of us, Tono was about the only one who had made it their goal.

Tono, huh...?
Rumor has it that he's been singing everywhere around here since losing to Taiga.

I wonder what he's up to now...

...

(How long has it been since then...?)

(Since I lost to Taiga...)

“Take a look at this city”...huh?

(I've been entering into as many Vivid Street events as I can and talked to almost every musician that I've seen. I've even all but memorized all the back alleys around here.)

(But I still don't understand what Taiga meant...)

A message...?
Who'd be contacting me at this hour...?

He's here...
Again...

(Then, I have even less time to think...)

(Especially since I still need to...)

And I heard over at An's place that Vivid BAD SQUAD's gonna be putting on their own event!

Whoa! I can't wait to see what that's like!

They've been getting better with each performance, so it's gonna be totally outta this world, right?

Yeah!
Who else do you think's gonna be there?

Hmm... It might be a short list since there aren't many teams around here that can sing like them...

Vivid BAD SQUAD's putting on an event...?

(Of course they are. They have to if they wish to get closer to surpassing RAD WEEKEND.)

(And someday, I'll...)

(Come to think of it, I've been participating in all these events up until now...)

(But I've never tried to put an event together with someone else who also wants to surpass RAD WEEKEND.)

This could be my chance to discover something new...
