...
Doors are opening soon.
Everyone ready?
You know it! My voice is in top condition today too, so we're gonna crush this!
Yeah! Let's get out there and win!
Oh...
Sounds like they just opened up...
Ah...! There's my dad!
Really? Where?
Um, the man wearing glasses...
Holding the large camera...
Oh, him? Hehe.
Now I know where you get your vibes from!
Y-Yes, but... Gasp!
The staff just went up to talk to him!
Oh, right... Filming's prohibited at this event.
After I told him not to bring his camera too...
What about you, Toya? How'd things go with your dad...?
Well...
I invited him to come today.
Huh?
You invited him?
So, is he coming?
I don't know.
All I did was give him the ticket.
But it doesn't matter whether he comes or not.
The only thing I can do now is sing.
That's true...
Then let's just do what we always do!
Right.
Looks like we can count on him today, Kohane!
Yeah!
Count on me...?
We were talking the other day about how much easier things are when you're out there singing with us.
Yup. And I think it's because your singing is like the backbone that supports the team.
So we'll be counting on you today!
I see.
Just leave it to me then...
Our next group is Vivid BAD SQUAD!
Nice! They're the favorites for this one!
Eh, I doubt it. They fell apart during STAY GOLDEN the other time.
They're great singers individually, but it's like there's nobody holding them together, you know?
K-Kohane! You can do this!
Show them what you're made of!
D-Dad... Stop embarrassing me...
...
(My dad... He isn't here, unsurprisingly.)
(But that's not a problem.)
Let's do this, Toya.
Yeah.
♪————!
♪————!
(I don't understand... It's like I can hear everyone's voices much clearer than usual.)
(I know what's coming and how to adjust my voice to match theirs by just feeling instead of thinking.)
(Which means all that's left for me to do now is...)
♪————!
...!
Hey! How's this for falling apart?!
They're off the hook!
W-What is this...?!
They're completely different from before...!
♪————!
(All that's left for me to do now is to sing my heart out...!)
*Huff*... *Huff*...
That's the loudest the crowd's been all night!
Give it up for Vivid BAD SQUAD!
Hey, Toya...!
Huh? Whoa...!
Where've you been hiding that voice all this time, dude?!
No, it just happened by chance...
I had no idea I could sing like that either.
It wasn't by chance.
Huh?
It's because you got over whatever was going on between you and your dad.
Great job, Toya.
You must be right.
Thanks, Akito.
