I know it's been a while since it happened, but here's to the success of our second event, JET.

Don't worry about it! We were already planning on staying closed today since my dad had something to do, and our regulars knew that.
Tatsuya
It did go even better than our last one, and Vivid BAD SQUAD really stole the spotlight.

Akito
(Yeah, we were right to start with Toya's song. Singing it comes so naturally, as if it's helping push us forward...!)
Kohane

Akito
(Kohane's doing a good job of leading too. She's really bringing Toya's song and An's lyrics to life, but we can't let her hog all the glory.)

That event was so awesome...!
Audience
I knew that Tono was good, but I didn't realize EVER could sing those kinds of songs.
Audience
But tonight's winner has gotta be Vivid BAD SQUAD! Their new song almost brought tears to my eyes!
Audience
All their events are off the hook! I get really excited every time I see them perform now...!
Audience
Same! And they're not kidding when they say they're gonna surpass RAD WEEKEND!

Kotaro
Sounds like our plan worked! Vivid BAD SQUAD really came out of the gates swinging with their first song! I'm glad we decided to have them switch spots with EVER!
EVER Member A
Same. I had no idea that you could come up with a track like that!
Toya
Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that since I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Akito
We're also sorry, as we had to make you guys adjust your set lists and change our order of appearance right before the event.
Tatsuya
That's okay since it ended up being the correct choice. When I heard Aoyagi's song, I was convinced that it needed to be played first. It just packs such a big punch.
An
But EVER also did an amazing job as the headline act!
Everyone's talking about you guys' new song since it really pushed your boundaries!

Akito
Yeah, you need experience in order to come up with something like that in such a short period of time.
Tatsuya
We do have plenty of that.
Also, as good as Aoyagi's track was, what you and Shiraishi wrote really inspired us.

Tatsuya
Your “Silence & Action” track just seemed to keep evolving for some reason. Maybe it's because you were inspired by Aoyagi's track.
Tatsuya
While we were working on our track on the same theme, I think watching all of you really lit a fire under us.

Arata
Yes, because I'd spent quite a bit of time away from Vivid Street. I believe Ken opened his store while I was gone, so I didn't know where it was.
Arata
But I'd like to pay my respects at some point since he's done so much for me already.
An's Father
Things ended sooner than expected.
I literally walked in through the back door just now.

Arata
Still, we're able to approach it thanks to everyone here, especially Vivid BAD SQUAD. You and the others always do a great job of creating the energy we need.
An's Father
Hey, coming from Arata, that must mean you and the others are the real deal, Akito.
Akito
I mean, if we didn't, there wouldn't be much point in doing these events together...
An's Father
Haha. You never let up, do you?
Actually, that's kind of what makes you guys so similar.

I remember one saying, “The way they sang shows that they've got guts. It's great to see them going all out like that.”
Toya
Yes, I couldn't be more thankful. Their word of mouth may lead to new faces coming to see us.
Toya
I'm finally starting to understand how to turn my feelings into music. So, be it events or something else, I believe I'll be able to contribute more moving forward.
An
Hehe. That's great to hear, but the rest of us will also need to keep doing our best. I really wanna make a track that sends shivers down people's spines.
Akito
Yeah, our individual styles aren't gonna change, but we'll come up with better and better tracks.

Akito
But we still need to aim higher.
We shouldn't let ourselves get complacent after a couple victories.

Right. Which means we should start getting ready for our next event while we have everyone's attention...

Toya
I don't know many details either, but it's a live house that's supposed to be incredibly sacred to the people of Vivid Street.
