Vivid BAD SQUAD

Kohane, a shy girl, went to buy a CD for her mother but got lost and ended up on Vivid Street. There, she stopped at the WEEKEND GARAGE cafe, where she was captivated by the performance of An and her musicians.

An's music so captivated Kohane—her voice, her energy, her rhythm—that she returned to listen to it again. It was a moment of culture shock, but also of fascination.

During her second visit, An invited Kohane to sing with her, seeing potential and perhaps even a desire. Thus, a duo called Vivids was born . Kohane was very shy and doubted she had the talent for the street scene. An, energetic and confident, supported her, encouraged her to perform, and taught her the culture of street music. Gradually, Kohane began to open up and enjoy singing, although she was initially hampered by self-doubt.

BAD DOGS* *At the time, they were already a well-known duo, well-coordinated street performers. When Akito and Toya first saw Vivids perform, they were skeptical of Kohana—they thought she lacked strength and experience. Akito was especially harsh: he believed that Kohane was “not suitable” for this scene and that An was dragging the duo down
