The video of RAD WEEKEND...?
Sorry, but nothing like that exists.
I made sure that no one brought any cameras into the venue.
What...?!
So you're saying that none of the staff took any videos?
Yeah. They have videos of other events, but not RAD WEEKEND.
Because...
RAD WEEKEND was only meant for that day...
I see...
(Did that other girl see something by mistake...?)
(After finally getting a hold of what I thought was a good lead regarding RAD WEEKEND too...)
...
You really want to know more about RAD WEEKEND that much?
Huh?
Y-Yes...!
An and Shinonome were actually there for RAD WEEKEND...
But Aoyagi and I weren't, so we've had to piece everything together through stories and hearsay...
Our goal is to surpass RAD WEEKEND, but we're having a hard time getting a clear idea of how.
Alright.
Oh, what if you told me more about what you saw from the stage? That might help me get a better picture of what happened...
Tell you...? I'm not that great at telling stories, so I wouldn't be able to do it justice.
Not only that, if stories alone could tell you what that event was like, you'd already have a good idea by now, don't you think?
Oh...
You're right...
I'm sorry, Taiga.
Even so, I want to know more...
I want to learn as much as I can about RAD WEEKEND if I'm going to try and surpass it.
So please, anything you can teach me will be appreciated! Can't you tell me more about what you saw, sang and felt...?!
Please!
(She sounds like...)
This might be a case of a picture actually being worth a thousand words...
Huh?
I can't help you with the video, but I can at least show you where it happened.
Wh-Where it happened...?
You mean the live house where RAD WEEKEND took place?
Yeah.
B-But I heard that it closed right after and the owner retired...
You mean that granny? She's doing just fine. You just gotta know how to get a hold of her, so I'll let you know when I do.
...!
(I don't believe it...!)
(I'm gonna get to see the venue where RAD WEEKEND actually happened...!!)
Anyway, enough about RAD WEEKEND.
Let's get back to actually practicing.
O-Okay!!
What?!
Uncle Taiga's gonna show you where RAD WEEKEND happened?!
Yeah! He said he'll let me know when he gets a hold of the owner!
He's going out of his way to find the owner? We'll need to thank him later.
Yeah, we will...
Still, I never thought I'd get to see that place again.
Hehe. You seem excited, Akito.
I mean, that place had a huge effect on me.
If RAD WEEKEND didn't happen there, I probably wouldn't be talking to you right now.
Which means it's where everything began.
Oh, hey! Can we tag along and see it too?!
Huh?
It's where this legendary event happened, right?! I really wanna see it and I promise not to be a bother!
Oh, Len...
You don't have to take him if it poses too much of a challenge.
I'd like to see as well.
You too, Miku?
I mean, it's where An and Akito's feelings were born, right? And those feelings are why this SEKAI is here at all.
Don't you want to know more about how everything began?
Yeah, of course...
Alright, why don't we let them know once we get there? They should be able to get in some quick peeks while staying out of Uncle Taiga's sight.
Yeah, that should work!
You should be able to poke your heads out while our phones are in our pockets.
Still, you both gotta be careful.
Thank you, we will.
Awesome!!
Anyway, we'll let you know when we get there, so stay tuned!
Great, we'll be looking forward to it.
Alright, that should be everything...
Dad, I switched the sign to “Open”!
Appreciate it, An.
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Oh, I should let you know now that I'm gonna be busy in the afternoon next Saturday.
Sure, no problem. Are you guys having practice then?
No, we're gonna go to COL... I mean, see where RAD WEEKEND happened.
What?
But that place closed ages ago.
We know, but Uncle Taiga said he's gonna get a hold of the owner and show us around!
Kohane and Toya haven't seen it yet, so we're really excited about going.
Taiga...?
Yeah, I was just as surprised.
I didn't expect him to go out of his way to do something like this for us.
But I'm worried about him “getting a hold of” the owner... She's pretty old now, right?
Yeah, she turned eighty this year.
E-Eighty?!
Geez, now I feel worse about asking him to do this...
Haha. I'm sure she can handle him.
Still...
He's really doing this, huh...?
Dad? Is something wrong?
No, just reminiscing.
Have fun, alright?
Okay...
Oh, customers!
Welcome!
...
(He's taking them to COL.)
(The guy who was completely obsessed with becoming the greatest ever is going out of his way to do this.)
(So I guess...)
Say, you two...
If this place really does end up producing the best singer in the world...
(He doesn't want to let her down.)
(I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to do this...)
(But I think it's time I handed “that” to them...)
