<I'm practicing with Taiga then, so I'll head over to the park once we're done.>
(I need to learn as much as I can from him today.)
(In order to surpass RAD WEEKEND!)
♪————————!!
♪————————!!
So, what did you think of RAD WEEKEND?
Think you can surpass it...?
We will... We absolutely will!
Alright...
Oh, I guess An already saw my reply.
Hehe. I promise to do my best.
(Not only that, I want to be able to teach everyone what I learn.)
(But what are we gonna do today?
It's always so hard to predict what he has in store for me.)
(We'd be singing one day, listening to music and discussing lyrics the next...)
(But he'll leave me completely puzzled some days since I won't really know how to apply what we're doing...)
Oh, there was that one time I managed to figure out his little enigma.
Hey, this place...
Sorry, we'll be making a quick detour.
O-Okay, I don't mind.
Hey! Anyone home?
Well if it isn't Taiga!
It's great to see that you're really back!
Yeah, I got back a little while ago.
Still, I can't believe you upped and moved to a better location. Your old place was gone, so I thought you'd gone out of business or something.
The live house next to my place also ended up moving, so I decided to do the same.
But fear not.
My storefront may be new and shiny, but what I make is as good as ever.
Yeah, I get what you mean. Things might look different on the outside, but nothing's changed on the inside.
Nothing's changed on the inside...?
(Oh, come to think of it...)
(Taiga's been examining all the places we've been visiting in Vivid Street to see whether or not they've changed, and how much if they have.)
(I guess it would be interesting to see how things change after being away for so long...)
Hmm...
(Which leads me to believe that there's a hidden message behind everything we've been doing.)
Sorry about that.
Thanks for letting me take that detour.
...
Is something wrong?
Huh?! I-I'm sorry...
I was just thinking about what you two were talking about...
Hm? What do you mean?
The meaning behind what I've been doing with you.
For example, I've been noticing how you've been taking an interest in how things have changed around here over the years...
I see. Is that your interpretation...?
Yes. But I apologize if you think I'm getting the wrong idea.
Haha. I'd say not quite, but you're on the right track.
I am?
Yeah. Want me to tell you a little secret about what we've been doing so far?
...!
Yes, please!
Ever hear this before? They say that about 80% of the information we take in comes from what we see.
Y-Yes, I think I've heard it on TV before...
You can learn a lot from just people-watching, looking around the city, seeing all the colors and gauging how close or far away certain things are.
But where does that leave our ears?
O-Our ears...?
Yeah.
What can we learn from hearing?
We can... Hear how people feel...?
Yeah, exactly.
That also includes how far away they are and which way they're facing.
Still, our eyes still end up being more powerful than our ears. Which means there's only so much you can do with sound alone.
But we're here to sing.
So the question becomes, “How do you make people see through music?”
See through music...?
Yeah.
More than that depending on the situation.
The lyrics for a song don't always describe things that are grounded in reality. There are times when you have to imagine what's going on yourself.
And it's not just about showing people that. You can also make them remember things from their past...
R-Right...
I'm sure you'll understand eventually.
Anyway, my point is that just singing isn't enough. I want you to at least take that away from this...
Okay...!
Still... Seeing through music...?
Alright! This just means I need to keep practicing to figure out what he really means by that!
