This is where Miku said to meet.

Where is everyone?

Akito

They must be around here...

Kohane

Ah! There they are!

Miku

Sorry to keep you all waiting.

MEIKO

We invited you, and then we showed up late.

Sorry about that.

An

No, not at all! I mean...

This is for my birthday, right?

Akito

Wouldn't it have made more sense

to meet up at MEIKO's place?

MEIKO

Len and the others are getting things ready,

so we need you to wait a little bit.

An

Oh, I see! Hehe, I'm so excited.

Miku

We really struggled to come up

with good ideas this time.

Toya

Is that so?

Miku

Yeah. Remember that party we threw

after you surpassed RAD WEEKEND?

Miku

We sort of ended up talking

about how we could surpass that party.

Kohane

That was one amazing party...

Miku

Right. We thought it would be a shame

if your birthday lost out in comparison.

MEIKO

So we brainstormed together...

And came up with a new kind of party.

An

A new kind of party?! What does that mean?!

MEIKO

We're calling it...a live show party!

Toya

A live show party?

MEIKO

That's right. We're going to sing songs,

eat good food, drink coffee and be merry!

Wow, that sounds like fun!

Akito

Wait a minute.

Isn't that just what we usually do?

Miku

Ah... You saw right through us.

Miku

We really thought it over, but in the end,

we figured An would have the most fun if she could sing.

An

Haha, you're not wrong!

You guys really get me.

MEIKO

Of course we do. The others should be ready

just about now. Should we head to the cafe?

An

Yeah! Oh, but first...

An

Why don't we do a rehearsal together?

Toya

A rehearsal?

An

Yeah! I wanna get warmed up before we go,

so I can have fun singing at MEIKO's place!

Kohane

That's a great idea! I'd love to sing too.

Toya

Guess I'll join in too.

Miku

Then I will too.

MEIKO

You'll need an audience, right?

I'm looking forward to it already.

An

You just watch! Here we go, everyone...

Beyond the way!
