Kohane
An's birthday party was so lively!
Toya
It was. In particular, the people from Vivid Street who came to Weekend Garage looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Akito
They even started having a singing contest on the stage.
An
Hahaha! They've been like that as long as I've known them.
An
Back before Weekend Garage existed, when Dad was still in his group, there was this cafe we'd always go to.
An
Every year, my family and people from around town would gather there for my birthday party.
Kohane
So they've been celebrating with you for a long time then.
An
The earliest I remember was in kindergarten, but apparently they started when I was even smaller.
Toya
I remember you telling us a little about your childhood before, Shiraishi. The people of Vivid Street really do care for you, don't they?
An
They do, yeah. I really can't begin to say how grateful I am to them. Though, they also sometimes embarrass me.
Miku
You guys are here already?
Miku
Didn't you want to stay on your side for a while longer and enjoy the party?
An
We had so much fun already! I even smashed the singing contest that inevitably happens every year.
Akito
She was supposed to be the judge, but dumped the job on Ken halfway through to take part herself.
An
Hey, everyone was having so much fun, and I was just itching to join in!
Kohane
Hehe. I thought it was just like you to do that, An.
Toya
I agree, it was.
An
Right?! We'll have to all go use those ice cream coupons that I won!
Miku
So you won, An?
Akito
Were you really "itching to join in", or did you just want to get your hands on the prize?
An
Hahaha. No comment!
Toya
Well, everyone from the neighborhood had a good time, so all's well that ends well.
Kohane
Yeah. Not to mention that it's An's special day.
An
Exactly!
An
By the way, seeing as Miku's here too, do you guys wanna sing?
Akito
You just sang yourself hoarse at the party and you still want more?
An
I was singing solo though. I'm in the mood to sing with my teammates.
An
Singing alone feels good and all that, but it can't beat how I feel singing with you guys!
Miku
I'm in.
Miku
Actually, MEIKO and the others told me to stall you because they're not finished getting ready.
Kohane
Hey, An. I'd like to sing with you too, but...
Kohane
You and the people from Vivid Street looked like you were having so much fun and... I... Um... I thought it looked nice...
An
Wait, do you mean...?
An
Kohane!!
Kohane
Eep!
An
You really thought that? You're so cute!
Kohane
A-An, I can't breathe!
Akito
Well, I guess we can sing. If they're not ready yet, we can't go to MEIKO's place anyway.
Toya
Heh. I suppose so.
An
Woohoo! Okay, let's do this!
An
Start the music! Forward!
