Arata
Well...
The big day's already upon us.

Arata
Do you all feel ready?
3
An
Of course!
Right, Kohane?
4
Kohane
Y-Yeah...!
I'm ready to sing my heart out whenever!
5
Toya
Same. Plus, we've put together a good crew. I'm sure things will turn out well for us.
6
Tatsuya
I agree.
However...
7
Tatsuya
No matter how much we practiced, it never felt like we ever came close to RAD WEEKEND.
8
Kotaro
The event itself is probably gonna be good, but...
9
Arata
...
10
Akito
Don't give up before it's even started...
11
Kotaro
What...?
12
Akito
I believe that all of us here are serious about what we're doing.
13
Akito
No matter the cost, we all want to surpass RAD WEEKEND. Am I wrong in saying that we all feel that way?
14
Akito
If I'm right, we have to turn this event into a stepping stone towards achieving that goal.
15
Toya
Akito...
16
Akito
By struggling together, I'm sure we'll... No, I know we'll figure out something!
17
Akito
That atmosphere... The way it made everyone go totally nuts. We're gonna find a way to grab hold of it.
18
Arata
Shinonome's right...
19
Arata
We don't have time to worry about what we can or can't do right now. For the sake of our dream, let's go out there and put on the best event possible.
20
Akito
Yeah. We're gonna surpass that night!
21
An
Nice speech, you guys!!
22
Tatsuya
Griping won't get us anywhere...
So let's just go all out during the show.
23
Kotaro
Yeah!!
And all the way until the end!!
24
Akito & Arata
Yeah!
25
Akito
Our first event... “Break”.
Let's do this!
26
Akito
(EVER's leading us off...!
We're gonna come out of the gates swinging...!)
27
Tatsuya
Try to keep up, you guys...!!

36
Kotaro
Thanks, everyone!
But we're still just getting started!
37
Arata
Looks like we've gotten them good and excited. I'd say about as excited when the headliner for a normal event's about to take the stage...
38
Arata
But we're still nowhere near achieving “that atmosphere”...
39
Akito
Yeah...
But I think we're getting closer... Well, that's just my feeling...
40
Toya
No, I think so too.
This audience looks beyond excited.
41
Arata
That means this is our make-or-break moment. Wish me luck...
42
Akito
Wait, Tono...!
43
Arata
Hm? Yes?
44
Akito
Keep it going!
We'll also keep it going once you're done!
45
Arata
Yes, leave it to me.

I've never been in such an exhilarating event.)

Alright, Vivid BAD SQUAD!
Give us a good finale!

Akito
Oh, we will...!

Kotaro
Alright, here comes our last act...!
Give it up for Vivid BAD SQUAD!!

Kohane
What is this? It feels way different from any other event...!
61
An
Yeah...!
It feels so good... Like the stage and crowd are both totally on fire...!
62
Toya
Is this what people mean by “rocking the floor”...?
63
Akito
Yeah, this has to be it...
64
Akito
But this isn't the peak.
The atmosphere from RAD WEEKEND is still lying up ahead somewhere...
65
Akito
All of you!
Sing like you're gonna surpass it today!

Yeah!
Okay!

Kotaro
Man... I'm completely out of gas...
71
An
Same...
Normally, we'd start cleaning up immediately, but let's take a quick break before we do.
72
Tatsuya
Yeah...
I'm not gonna lie, I don't think I've ever used up so much energy before.
73
Kohane
I know what you mean.
I always sang with everything I had until now, but...
74
Toya
Today felt different... It felt new...
75
Akito
So, what did you guys think...?
76
Akito
How was today's “atmosphere”?
77
Arata
Hehe.
You really need to ask?
78
Akito
Yeah, I guess I don't need to based on the look on your faces...
79
Akito
We're still far from RAD WEEKEND...
But we took a big step forward.
80
An
Yeah, we did!
Also, it was super fun!
It totally felt like I was gonna fly away while I sang!
81
Kohane
I know, right...?!
Oh, I had this idea too...
82
Toya
Yes, Azusawa?
83
Kohane
Um... Can we try doing more events together as a group like this?
84
Akito
Huh?
85
Kohane
U-Um... Well...!
86
Kohane
We've sung alongside a bunch of other teams until now, but I've never felt this kind of excitement from start to finish during an event before...!
87
Kohane
It probably has to do with us taking our music seriously... And how we're all trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND.
88
Kohane
I have a feeling that if we get to know each other better and practice like we really mean it, we'll be able to put on an even more amazing event...!
89
An
Kohane...!
90
An
Yeah, I'm all for that!
Especially since we're so close to getting a hold of some kind of answer. It'd be a waste to just call it quits now.
91
Toya
I agree.
If the rest of you are okay with it, I'd like us to go forward with this idea.
92
Kotaro
Yeah, of course!
I mean, the show we just put on was so awesome!
93
Tatsuya
It really was...
We probably wouldn't have been able to do so well at any other event.
94
Akito
Yeah...
I'm with you there.
95
Akito
That just leaves...
96
Arata
I'd rather not take the scenic route when it comes to achieving my dream.
97
Akito
Hey, what's that supposed to...?
98
Arata
So, Akito, I'll be looking forward to singing more with you...
99
Arata
Because I believe we'll find the quickest way there as long as we're together.
100
Akito
Ugh... Do you have to do that every single time?
101
Akito
Anyway, everyone, let's decide what we'll be doing for our next event!
102
An & Kotaro
Yeah!
The next day
Crase Cafe

Len
Nice work, you guys!
That was such an amazing show!
104
Rin
Yeah, it was!
The crowd went bonkers too!!
105
Kohane
Thanks, Len, Rin!
106
Akito
I mean, we didn't get anywhere close to what happened during RAD WEEKEND, but I'm glad everybody had fun.
107
An
Yeah, same! We even decided to start doing more events as a group!
108
KAITO
Really? That's a wonderful idea!
That means you'll be making even more delicious pancakes for us.
109
KAITO
Anyway, I believe it's our turn now!
110
Kohane
Huh?
111
KAITO
Our event!
We got all set up while you were making your own preparations.
112
MEIKO
Why don't we call it a celebration for an event well done? I'll be singing with everything I have for the first time in a while too.
113
Len
Okay, everyone, come to the terrace so we can get hyped up together!
114
Miku
You're welcome to jump in too.
115
Akito
If that's the case, we might just have to accept...
116
An
Yeah!!
Here we go! Round 2!!
117
Kohane
Yeah!
118
Len
Alright, let's do this!
Start the music!!
