No, this doesn't sound right either...

(This song won't be able to reproduce the atmosphere from that night.)

(You can do better.)

(Find a way to give it more energy.)

(Find a way to write a song that can help us surpass RAD WEEKEND...!)

Even if you do get better, just putting on events like you've been doing until now probably won't get you far.

It's hard to make a flame burn bright when it's close to going out. You won't get many chances.

Which is why... You're going to split up the work.

Huh?

These will be crucial steps towards putting on an event that surpasses RAD WEEKEND.

First, Akito, you go reignite your audience.

Our audience...?

(I see...

We're each going to do what's necessary for us to actually surpass RAD WEEKEND.)

(Akito's being tasked with reigniting our audience. That suits him very well, so I'm sure he'll succeed...)

Next, Toya, you're up.

I'm listening...!

You're going to be the “track maker”.

What...?

You'll be solely responsible for all the tracks your team is going to use to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

I'm...going to make all of them...?

Yeah, that's right.

Obviously, a good event needs good songs. On top of that, you're trying to surpass RAD WEEKEND, which means they need to be of a certain quality.

Y-Yeah, Toya is really good at this stuff...

But making him do everything on his own doesn't seem fair...

Then, I'll take this opportunity to explain my reasoning.

First, let me talk about the songs we made for RAD WEEKEND.

The three of us made them together by putting everything we felt and experienced into them.

Everything you felt and experienced...

That's right.

Especially because it was the last event Nagi could sing in.

We made sure not to leave anything behind.

And it was worth it in the end because we'd never performed at that kind of level before...

So, you'll need to come up with songs that can surpass that.

Songs that encompass everything you've felt and experienced.

...

Without anything like that, it won't matter how well you perform. You won't be able to surpass the atmosphere we created that night. Not ever.

(Yes, I understand that much...)

(The atmosphere from that night wasn't born from Ken or the others' singing. Those songs moved everyone's hearts. It was clear even from that video...)

(But...)

Am I really up to the task...?

I believe we have plenty of motivation.

Especially after making the decision to carry everyone's dreams forward. Yours, Nagi's Taiga's and all the locals...

So, I doubt our resolve falls short of you and your team's.

However, me coming up with songs that can reflect that is a different story...

I think you can.

You do...?

I had a chance to listen to what you've all already made...

And there's something different about your songs, Toya. A lot of them didn't require lyrics. I could feel what was going on through sound alone...

This is just my guess...

But I think you've had a special connection to music since you were a child. A connection that most people don't have.

Those experiences are what I believe will help you create...

Oh...

Of course, Toya, you're not the only one who can weave their feelings and emotions into their songs.

And I know those feelings are very complicated. Still, I think you have the best shot at turning what your team is feeling into music.

Yeah, I agree. I did feel a lot of different emotions when I listened to your song, Aoyagi...

Me too. As sad as I am to hear that our old songs won't really do...

I think you'll do a great job of making songs that reflect how we really feel, Toya!

Still, I know I'm asking a lot of you...

And it'll certainly be tough, but do you think you can handle it...?

Yes.

If you believe that I'm going to surpass the songs that you and your team made, Ken... Then I'm up for the challenge...

Looks like we're both about to have it rough.

But...

We're counting on you, Toya!

You can do it, Aoyagi!

Thank you!
