Virtual Live: Kick It Up a Notch After Show

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

Huh? It did?

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

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

Huh?

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

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

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

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.

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

I take it the event was a huge success then?

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

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

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

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

Oh... I think I have an idea.

There's a certain feeling...

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.

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

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

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

...?
Kohane, what do you—

Oh, there you are.

Heya, Kohane! Hi, Miku!

Oh, hi everyone!

MEIKO said you'd gone for a walk, so we figured we'd catch up, but you went further than we thought.

So, what were you two talking about?

A whole bunch of stuff, like her opening act.

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

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

Oh, about that...

I was about to tell Miku.
Taiga is actually about to go back to America.

What?!

I see. Taiga is leaving...

Yes. So...

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

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

I see...

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

Right?

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

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

Yes.

Oh... Hey, guys?

Hm? What?

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

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

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

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

Yep, no question.

Yeah, of course we will!

Yes, I'm also still brimming with energy.

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

Ready Steady!
