Kohane

Listen

It took me by surprise when you invited me for a walk, Miku.
2

Miku

Listen

Huh? It did?
3

Kohane

Listen

Yes. I was glad since we still had time before meeting the others. But...why now all of a sudden?
4

Miku

Listen

It's for nothing major...
You just seem so restless today.
I figured walking it off would help.
5

Kohane

Listen

Huh?
6

Miku

Listen

What's another way to put it...?
It's like you're bursting with energy.
7

Miku

Listen

Those dark circles have vanished too.
You must've slept like a log after the event yesterday.
8

Kohane

Listen

Oh... Yes.
I went to sleep when I got home last night and didn't wake up until this afternoon.
9

Kohane

Listen

But I guess I slept too much...
I suddenly went from being really busy to having all this free time. And now I can't relax.
10

Miku

Listen

Hehe. That explains why you're so energetic today.
11

Miku

Listen

I take it the event was a huge success then?
12

Kohane

Listen

It was! I sang with more passion than I've ever felt.
I think I did well as the opening act.
13

Kohane

Listen

And I got praise from Taiga. In the middle of my song, he shouted, "Nice singing!"
14

Miku

Listen

Wow, that good?
I wish I got to hear it.
15

Miku

Listen

So, you've performed alone now.
Did you figure out what's "most important", as Taiga put it?
16

Kohane

Listen

Oh... I think I have an idea.
17

Kohane

Listen

There's a certain feeling...
18

Kohane

Listen

The feeling when people want to hear you sing, and you want them to hear it too... I think that's important to our music.
19

Miku

Listen

I see.
It sounds like striking out alone paid off then.
20

Kohane

Listen

Yes. I'm glad I was brave enough to try.
21

Kohane

Listen

And I'm especially glad that I did it before Taiga leaves.
22

Miku

Listen

...?
Kohane, what do you—
23

Toya

Listen

Oh, there you are.
24
Heya, Kohane! Hi, Miku!
25

Kohane

Listen

Oh, hi everyone!
26

Akito

Listen

MEIKO said you'd gone for a walk, so we figured we'd catch up, but you went further than we thought.
27
So, what were you two talking about?
28

Miku

Listen

A whole bunch of stuff, like her opening act.
29

Toya

Listen

I see.
It did take me by surprise when Azusawa said she wanted to open the show alone.
30

Akito

Listen

But... One thing still bothers me.
You seemed a little tense through it all.
Is something up?
31

Kohane

Listen

Oh, about that...
32

Kohane

Listen

I was about to tell Miku.
Taiga is actually about to go back to America.
33
What?!
34

Akito

Listen

I see. Taiga is leaving...
35

Kohane

Listen

Yes. So...
36

Kohane

Listen

I kept thinking how this was my last chance to have him hear me sing. That's why I was working so hard.
37

Kohane

Listen

I wanted to demonstrate the results of all our practices together.
38

Miku

Listen

I see...
39

Toya

Listen

It's clear that everything you learned from Taiga has come to fruition.
40

Kohane

Listen

Right?
41

Miku

Listen

Well then, An, Akito, Toya.
You'll need to stay sharp.
42

Akito

Listen

You're right.
We have to keep up with her.
43

Toya

Listen

Yes.
44

Kohane

Listen

Oh... Hey, guys?
45

Akito

Listen

Hm? What?
46

Kohane

Listen

Um... I'm still fired up after yesterday...
Could I sing again?
47

Kohane

Listen

After everything, I feel like I can perform really well.
48

Miku

Listen

Sure, why not?
I'd like to hear how you sound now.
49

Miku

Listen

And... We'll all join you, right?
50

Akito

Listen

Yep, no question.
51
Yeah, of course we will!
52

Toya

Listen

Yes, I'm also still brimming with energy.
53

Kohane

Listen

Yay! Thanks everyone!
Let's get started then!
54

Kohane

Listen

Ready Steady!
