In middle school, An Shiraishi was deeply moved by the "RAD WEEKEND" concert held by her father and his partners, and dreamed of holding a performance that would surpass that night in the future. While holding a street jam session with her music partners at the scramble crossing, An was mysteriously transported to the Sekai along with Kohane, and returned to the real world after a brief conversation with Miku and the others. Two days later, she saw Kohane again at WEEKEND GARAGE and tried to talk to her, but Kohane was scared away. Since the customers in the shop were mostly her father's fans or acquaintances, An was left with a strong impression of a girl like Kohane who was around her age. An saw Kohane again when she returned to WEEKEND GARAGE. After learning why Kohane came, An performed a song on stage that she had sung in the shop a few days prior and encouraged Kohane to try singing a few lines as well. An Shiraishi, who had never accepted anyone else's invitation to form a team, heard Kohane's voice and felt that Kohane was the partner she had been looking for, so she resolutely invited Kohane to form a team with her. Kohane, wanting to change herself, accepted the invitation, and the two formed a team named Vivids. Vivids accepted an invitation from Akito Shinonome and Toya Aoyagi—the BAD DOGS, who share the same goal as An—to perform on the same stage. While deciding on a song, they found a track titled [Untitled], and the two were once again transported to the Sekai to meet Miku and the others. At An's recommendation, using the streets as an excellent practice location, Kohane began training her ability to face a crowd. However, during their first official performance, the accompaniment stopped due to sabotage, causing the already nervous Kohane to mess up. Combined with Akito Shinonome's harsh words toward her, Kohane felt discouraged and left An's messages on read. Feeling guilty and blaming herself for not protecting Kohane, An decided to go look for her. At that moment, Kohane, who had already found her true wish, met An with a new look and explained everything to her. Afterward, the two ran into BAD DOGS, who had come looking for An's father, and the two teams agreed to compete with their singing once again. Vivids' performance was a great success, and Kohane's attitude earned Akito Shinonome's recognition. Subsequently, the two members of BAD DOGS had an argument, and Toya Aoyagi separated from Akito Shinonome. Out of concernReady Steady 】 . After everyone returned to the real world and accepted An's proposal, Vivids and BAD DOGS merged into a new team, Vivid BAD SQUAD. |

The best partner. Before meeting Kohane, she had never found a suitable partner to form a team with. After hearing Kohane sing in the shop, she resolutely decided to team up with her. After forming the team, An guided the newcomer Kohane to perform in various venues, and the two trust each other.
Frequently practices singing and studies in the "SEKAI" (with Kohane unilaterally tutoring An).
After a performance failure at the STAY GOLD event, she understood the meaning of partnership and resolved to start trusting and helping Kohane instead of maintaining a protective stance toward her as she had before.
After participating in the STAY GOLD event for the second time and successfully redeeming themselves, she felt conflicted about Kohane's rapid growth and began to worry that she would be left behind and no longer seen as a partner.
They have known each other since middle school and are rivals. Both internally acknowledge each other's skills and persistence toward their dreams, but their unyielding and competitive personalities often lead to arguments.
An is also keen on making Akito look bad in various ways, such as intentionally taking Kohane to Akito's shop to ask for prices and then leaving, or making a noise after Akito expresses his true feelings to Toya to make him realize others are present, etc.
An admires Toya's skills and asks for his opinions on combining classical music with rap, but she doesn't understand why Toya would hang out with someone like Akito.
In An's eyes, Toya and Akito are a fixed set.
An also has many exchanges with Toya regarding brewing coffee, and Toya recommends good nearby coffee shops to her.
