Shark (Shark!)

Please become SHARK's vocalist!

This is SHARK, the band that I met.

Whatever they may lose, they only want one thing.

It's to struggle so that they can keep moving forward.

Until the day they grab it...

Welcome to Lock-on future! Today's guest is SHARK!

Hello!

We suddenly got many messages about you after your appearance on Music Monster's special show.

How do you feel now that you're under the spotlight?

To tell you the truth, we haven't realized everything yet...

It was to be expected!

Because I'm the vocalist!

Let's move on to the song! Keep Walking, by SHARK!

There are people like that who suddenly act as if they were cool...

I'm sorry...Next time, we will follow the script...

It's fine! It's interesting to have people like that!

By the way, don't you think the air conditioner is too cold?

Voice means everything for a vocalist!

Yeah, there are people like that who suddenly become arrogant...

I'm sorry, he has always been like that...

Stop making people feel uncomfortable!

What are we going to do if they never call us again?

Then it means they don't have a discerning eye!

Don't say that...

If you want to debut, then you also have to promote yourself.

Ichika, what about our previous talk? Will we get another chance?

My manager is trying to persuade our superiors but...

It seems to be difficult...

I see...

But I think they will change their mind if you become popular, so let's continue to do our best!

You're right.

First of all, we have a live performance, right?

It will be the first show since Mizuki joined us. We have no right to fail.

Of course we won't!

Who do you think I am?

Oh right, I got a call earlier.

The opening act will be a band called Castaways. Does anyone know about them?

Nope...

Miku-chan?

The other day, you were talking about Castaways. Do you have any document about them?

It's too late already...They have been recruited by another company.

Truth is not always true

Shinobu?

It's that guy we met the other day, right?

He looks totally different.

Apparently he has quite a lot of fans now.

1, 10, 100, 1000, 10 000...

WHAT!?

101 071 views!? Amazing...

Even his songs are totally different from the time he was singing in the streets.

Still, he is not as good as Mizuki-san, right?

Of course!

You're so cool!

Akashi Shinobu

It's Shinobu!

Hello?

Kai-san? It has been a while.

Have you heard about the live performance?

Yeah.

I heard SHARK was looking for an opening act so I applied.

I didn't know you had a band.

I've worked quite hard since that day.

I learned how to create songs, I improved my singing skills. I even worked on how I should act.

And everything is going pretty well right now.

I see.

I realized something. If I can't join SHARK, then I'll be better than you.

So let's have a contest.

A contest?

Rules are simple.

The winner is the band with the most votes. Simple is the best, isn't it?

Such a... - Even if you don't want to do it

I will consider the show as a competition anyway.

That's all.

Ah, can I say one last thing?

What did he say?

"Let's have a contest to see who can get the audience excited the most."

Excuse me!?

Also...

"Thank you very much for not having chosen me back then."

He has gotten cocky...

So are we going to fight each other?

It's just something he has decided alone. Let's ignore him.

We will do our performance like always.

Don't say stupid things!

We want SHARK to reach for the top, right?

No way we can lose to an amateur band.

We'll show him who is the best.

It's not that I hold a grudge against someone.

It's just that...

I keep telling myself that I never want to lose again.

If I ever fall again somewhere the light can't reach me, then it will be the end.

Because if it happens, I'm sure I will never be able to walk again.

KEEP WALKING -

There are things we will never give up on

In order to make our dreams come true

Let's go, we are not alone

Target locked! Ready to fire!

Let's destroy all the rules

Let's go down the road we have chosen

The future is shining brightly

Our era is an adventure (we will surely)

Get to that place (for sure)

Our history starts here

So no matter what happens

We never give up

A live performance? I'm happy for you! You've always wanted to do one, right?

Wanna come?

I'm inviting you since you're my childhood friend!

Really?

In return...

You want me to forgive your debt, right?

He is looking at us!

Mizuki, stay calm!

Oi, you ugly...!

You're Kurata Mizuki-kun from SHARK, right?

Yes I am... - I knew it!

We're your fans!

Fans!?

Please give us a handshake!

My fans have always been cute!

I'm inviting you to our show!

Really!?

Shinobu-kun is amazing, isn't he?

He has changed so much in such a short time.

Yeah. I was also surprised.

You noticed Shinobu-kun's talent from the start, right?

I'm sorry that I told you horrible things.

You chose him only because you know he is not as good as Mizuki-kun, right?

You did that in order not to hurt your pride.

I forgot to apologize earlier.

Don't worry, it's fine!

I also told you horrible things.

Also...

I'm really glad we chose Mizuki.

He is different from Kazuki but they have things in common.

What kind of things?
