[00:06] Gross
Yeah, it's getting really—
[00:08] Cranky Toddler
It's okay.
[00:13] Cranky Toddler
Not that I understand.
[00:17] Cranky Toddler
Hey, can we end practice, now?
[00:20] Cranky Toddler
I have something important
to talk to you about.
[00:22] Purple
Could you stop already?
[00:24] Purple
You keep groaning and moaning.
[00:28] Cranky Toddler
Could you stop?
[00:31] Cranky Toddler
You need to know your place.
[00:35] Purple
What are you—
[00:36] Gross
Come on, guys.
[00:38] Cranky Toddler
Hibiki.
[00:39] Gross
Y-Yes?
[00:40] Cranky Toddler
I hear you were cheating on me
with that shrimp over there.
[00:44] Cranky Toddler
How could you be such a skirt-chaser?
[00:47] Sounds Surprisingly Normal When Sad
But I'm taller than you, Koume-chan.
[00:51] Cranky Toddler
Don't call me Koume-chan!
[00:53] Cranky Toddler
And don't you dare slander me, you coward.
[00:57] Gross
Where exactly did you hear about that?
[01:00] Cranky Toddler
You've got some nerve, Hibiki.
[01:03] Cranky Toddler
I didn't "hear" it from anywhere.
[01:04] Cranky Toddler
They messaged me just to rub
it in my face yesterday!
[01:08] Long Story Short
It's a battle of women.
[01:10] Long Story Short
How exciting.
[01:12] Gross
You messaged her?
[01:13] Purple
I did.
[01:14] Purple
I thought I'd cool her hot head a little.
[01:19] Purple
I needed to make sure she knew
you were taking care of us now.
[01:25] -_-
Kyo-nii's friends with all of us.
[01:28] Cranky Toddler
Huh?
[01:28] Cranky Toddler
What are you talking about?
[01:30] Cranky Toddler
You guys are just toys to him.
[01:32] Cranky Toddler
Toys!
[01:33] Cranky Toddler
All right, we're going to
have an important talk now.
[01:36] Cranky Toddler
Practice is over!
[01:38] Sounds Surprisingly Normal When Sad
K-Kyo-san...
[01:48] Kyo-NEET
Hey, Kiriyume...
[01:51] Cranky Toddler
Yes?
[01:52] Cranky Toddler
Did you finally decide to end practice?
[01:56] Kyo-NEET
Sorry, this is important.
[01:59] Kyo-NEET
Could you leave for now?
[02:01] Cranky Toddler
Say what?
[02:03] Kyo-NEET
I don't want you interrupting practice.
[02:05] Kyo-NEET
We have a concert coming up.
[02:08] Cranky Toddler
Interrupting?
[02:10] Cranky Toddler
How could you say that,
after you cheated on me?
[02:12] Cranky Toddler
Is that really how you
behave to your true wife?
[02:15] Kyo-NEET
You aren't my true wife.
[02:17] Kyo-NEET
I admire you deeply as an illustrator.
[02:21] Kyo-NEET
And you're a precious partner.
[02:23] Kyo-NEET
But that's not our relationship.
[02:31] Purple
How does it feel to wake up from your dream?
[02:41] Cranky Toddler
Hibiki...
[02:43] Cranky Toddler
Hibiki, you...
[02:45] Cranky Toddler
You dumbass!
[02:49] Cranky Toddler
Ouch.
[02:50] Kyo-NEET
Kiriyume.
[02:51] Long Story Short
Kiryu-sama!
[03:00] -_-
Kyo-nii,
[03:03] -_-
want to practice once more?
[03:08] Kyo-NEET
Yeah, let's.
[03:10] Kyo-NEET
Okay, let's take it from the top.
[03:13] Sounds Surprisingly Normal When Sad
O-Okay.
[04:54] Cranky Toddler
Seems you had a lot of fun
playing with three girls.
[05:00] Kyo-NEET
Maybe this is uncalled-for, but if I led
you on with something I said, I apologize.
[05:08] Kyo-NEET
I'm truly sorry.
[05:11] Cranky Toddler
Whatever, I get it.
[05:13] Cranky Toddler
I don't matter to you at all, do I?
[05:18] Kyo-NEET
That's not true.
[05:19] Kyo-NEET
It was your illustrations that inspired me to
[05:22] Kyo-NEET
work harder on my music
all this time, Kiriyume.
[05:27] Cranky Toddler
And now you're obsessed
with those other three.
[05:33] Kyo-NEET
Yeah.
[05:34] Kyo-NEET
I'll admit that I'm just as inspired by
the music that Lien de Famille makes.
[05:41] Kyo-NEET
But worlds you paint are on a different
wavelength from the others.
[05:47] Kyo-NEET
I can't compare and tell you
which one is more important.
[05:50] Kyo-NEET
All I can say is that you're
both about as important to me.
[05:55] Cranky Toddler
So the art isn't enough.
[05:57] Kyo-NEET
It's not that it isn't enough.
[06:00] Kyo-NEET
I think it's just that I can't think about
things without thinking about music.
[06:04] Kyo-NEET
It's just that I absolutely love it.
[06:09] Kyo-NEET
The awesome, heart-warming,
moving sound of a band.
[06:18] Cranky Toddler
It's true that I wanted to do art
for you because I liked your music.
[06:24] Cranky Toddler
I don't think I could have finished
any of my art without your music.
[06:29] Kyo-NEET
Thanks.
[06:30] Kyo-NEET
So you'll give me permission
to work with Jun and the others?
[06:34] Cranky Toddler
Say what?
[06:35] Cranky Toddler
Why would I?
[06:37] Kyo-NEET
Huh?
[06:38] Cranky Toddler
You need someone to play
your music live, right?
[06:42] Cranky Toddler
I get that.
[06:44] Cranky Toddler
I'll do that, too, then.
[06:46] Cranky Toddler
I'm making my own band.
[06:52] Kyo-NEET
You're "making" your own band?
[06:54] Kyo-NEET
Your own band? With just yourself?
[06:56] Cranky Toddler
That's right.
[06:57] Cranky Toddler
That way I can make you mine
with my music and my art.
[07:02] Cranky Toddler
I'll make you forget about those shrimps!
[07:06] Kyo-NEET
When you say you're "making" a band,
[07:08] Kyo-NEET
you mean you're going to
play instruments and sing?
[07:11] Cranky Toddler
Of course not.
[07:13] Cranky Toddler
How would I do my drawings, then?
[07:16] Cranky Toddler
I thought the concert performance we
held on the island was pretty workable.
[07:21] Cranky Toddler
Where I draw along with the music.
[07:25] Kyo-NEET
So then you'll...
[07:26] Cranky Toddler
But I refuse to play with those three.
[07:31] Kyo-NEET
But if you don't want to work with them,
what are you going to do for members?
[07:37] Cranky Toddler
Yuzuha, you're pretty good
at singing, aren't you?
[07:39] Cranky Toddler
Sing for us.
[07:40] Long Story Short
Sure.
[07:42] Long Story Short
That sounds fun.
[07:43] Kyo-NEET
B-But what about accompaniment?
[07:46] Cranky Toddler
Let's see...
[07:48] Cranky Toddler
I guess it'll look silly
without an instrument or two.
[07:53] Cranky Toddler
Oh, I know.
[07:55] Cranky Toddler
I guess she'll do.
[07:59] Kyo-NEET
She?
[08:12] Cranky Toddler
So, will you give me an answer?
[08:16] Cranky Toddler
I'm starting a band.
[08:18] Cranky Toddler
You're going to join to play
piano or keyboard or whatever.
[08:23] Cranky Toddler
Okay?
[08:24] Bath Gremlin
How on Earth do you reach that conclusion?
[08:28] Bath Gremlin
I'm honestly curious, did you come
here actually thinking I'd do it?
[08:34] Cranky Toddler
What idiot would turn down
an invitation from me?
[08:38] Bath Gremlin
That question alone gives me enough reason
to throw salt at you and kick you out.
[08:44] Cranky Toddler
Watch it. Mind your words.
[08:46] Cranky Toddler
I could disinvite you, you know.
[08:59] Bath Gremlin
Fine.
[09:00] Bath Gremlin
I'll join.
[09:03] Cranky Toddler
Good.
[09:04] Cranky Toddler
Well then, I'm done for today.
[09:06] Cranky Toddler
I'll be going.
[09:10] Cranky Toddler
Hibiki...
[09:11] Kyo-NEET
Y-Yes?
[09:12] Cranky Toddler
I'll be performing at the next concert.
[09:15] Kyo-NEET
What?
[09:17] Cranky Toddler
And we're going to take the
shrimp band's entire audience.
[09:21] Cranky Toddler
With my godly performance.
[09:24] Cranky Toddler
No matter how good my art may be, I can't
have the performance being terrible.
[09:28] Cranky Toddler
You better come practiced.
[09:31] Bath Gremlin
Shut up.
[09:32] Bath Gremlin
Just go away and give me back my peace.
[09:37] Kyo-NEET
I didn't think you'd accept it.
[09:40] Kyo-NEET
Why did you agree to it?
[09:42] Bath Gremlin
For just one reason.
[09:44] Bath Gremlin
To watch her.
[09:45] Kyo-NEET
T-To watch her?
[09:47] Bath Gremlin
There's no telling what that
girl might do. I'm worried.
[09:50] Bath Gremlin
I thought it'd be better to keep
her nearby and under control.
[09:55] Kyo-NEET
But do you really want to go
through all that trouble for me?
[09:58] Bath Gremlin
I-I'm not doing it for your sake.
[10:02] Bath Gremlin
I don't need that from you.
[10:04] Bath Gremlin
Besides, it's not like I don't want to
show you that I can actually do music.
[10:14] Bath Gremlin
Th-There, we're done talking.
[10:16] Bath Gremlin
I'm really tired all of a sudden.
[10:18] Bath Gremlin
Bring me something cold, Onii-chan.
[10:22] Kyo-NEET
Okay.
[10:29] Kyo-NEET
Though I already knew Kurumi's
working really hard on the piano.
[10:38] Purple
A battle of bands with us?
Who do they think they are?
[10:42] Nope
Is Koume-chan really angry at us?
[10:46] -_-
It sounds kind of fun, though.
[10:48] Kyo-NEET
Sorry, they might cause some trouble
for you guys at the next concert
[10:53] NOPE
Not at all.
[10:54] NOPE
It's not your fault, Kyo-san.
[10:57] Purple
Yeah.
[10:57] Purple
It's that little girl being a diva.
[11:00] Purple
All we have to do is accept her
challenge and beat her down.
[11:05] Purple
That's all.
[11:07] Kyo-NEET
You're right.
[11:08] Kyo-NEET
We don't have time until the next concert.
[11:10] Kyo-NEET
I don't know if Kiriyume's band will
ever be presentable on the stage,
[11:15] Kyo-NEET
but if it really ends up like the
performance she's hoping for,
[11:19] Kyo-NEET
it might give the audience something new.
[11:23] Kyo-NEET
We should be as prepared as we can.
[11:26] -_-
Kyo-nii's enjoying this.
[11:29] -_-
I can't wait for the band
battle with Kiriyume.
[11:32] -_-
We have to do our best.
[11:34] Kyo-NEET
Yeah. We do.
[11:36] Purple
Oh, jeez.
[11:39] Purple
I never knew there'd actually be a
girl who was a god on Soryu Island,
[11:44] Purple
but she's just as exhausting
when she's here, too.
[11:49] Kyo-NEET
She is.
[11:52] Kyo-NEET
I do envy her for that, though.
[11:57] Kyo-NEET
She's decisive enough to decide everything
for herself and try to make things happen.
[12:01] Kyo-NEET
That's kind of awesome.
[12:05] NOPE
That's true.
[12:06] NOPE
I can't decide anything for myself.
[12:10] NOPE
I keep troubling you.
[12:12] Kyo-NEET
No way.
[12:14] Kyo-NEET
I never felt like you were troubling me.
[12:17] NOPE
No, I have too many problems.
[12:22] NOPE
The band can't get anything done without you.
[12:26] NOPE
And my research assignment...
[12:35] Kyo-NEET
The research assignment, huh?
[12:38] Kyo-NEET
I was so shocked by Kiriyume starting a
band that I'd totally forgot about it.
[12:43] Kyo-NEET
I want to help her, but...
[12:51] NOPE
Is this Kyo-san?
[12:53] Kyo-NEET
Jun.
[12:54] NOPE
Sorry to call you so late.
[12:56] Kyo-NEET
Nah.
[12:57] Kyo-NEET
It's totally fine.
[12:59] NOPE
I've thought of something I want
to do for the research assignment.
[13:05] Kyo-NEET
Really?
[13:06] NOPE
Yes.
[13:07] Kyo-NEET
So what have you decided to do?
[13:11] NOPE
Um, I...
[13:13] NOPE
I want to try writing a song.
[13:15] Kyo-NEET
A song?
[13:16] NOPE
Yes.
[13:17] NOPE
The three of us had the opportunity
to write lyrics together,
[13:20] NOPE
but I want to try start writing the music
and finishing a song all by myself.
[13:26] NOPE
If you asked me what I'm any good at,
music is the only thing I could think of.
[13:32] NOPE
Music is what I want to work at right now.
[13:35] NOPE
So I figured....
[13:37] Kyo-NEET
I'll support you every way I can.
[13:39] NOPE
Th-Thank you.
[13:42] NOPE
But I don't know where to begin.
[13:46] NOPE
So I'm nervous.
[13:47] Kyo-NEET
That's how it is for everyone at first.
[13:50] Kyo-NEET
I was, too.
[13:51] NOPE
You were?
[13:53] Kyo-NEET
Yeah.
[13:54] Kyo-NEET
But I promise you'll get the hang of it.
[13:57] Kyo-NEET
Work hard at it, and it'll become
a treasure within you forever.
[14:02] Kyo-NEET
So I'd like to help you take the first step.
[14:07] Kyo-NEET
So that you can have your own treasure.
[14:12] NOPE
Kyo-san...
[14:14] NOPE
Thank you so much.
[14:16] NOPE
But I'm sorry,
[14:18] NOPE
I've caused you even more trouble when
we have our band battle with Koume-chan.
[14:23] Kyo-NEET
No, in fact, let's premiere your song
at the concert at the end of the month.
[14:28] Kyo-NEET
We can show off even more of
[14:31] Kyo-NEET
Lien de Famille's awesomeness if we
tell them that you wrote the song.
[14:35] Kyo-NEET
It'd be our most powerful weapon
competing against Kiriyume.
[14:41] NOPE
I'm going to do my best, Kyo-san.
[14:44] NOPE
I'm always dependent on you right now,
[14:46] NOPE
but I'm going to move forward,
even if it takes time.
[14:56] Kyo-NEET
All right, let's start.
[14:58] Kyo-NEET
I'll provide my humble advice
for Jun's research assignment.
[15:02] NOPE
Th-Thank you.
[15:05] Kyo-NEET
Jumping right in, what do you
think makes music sound musical?
[15:09] NOPE
What makes it musical?
[15:12] Kyo-NEET
Melody, lyrics, and rhythm.
[15:15] Kyo-NEET
Those are the three things you need
for an orthodox piece of music.
[15:19] Purple
Oh.
[15:20] Purple
I thought it'd be more complicated than that.
[15:23] Kyo-NEET
Right.
[15:24] Kyo-NEET
When you think of it that way,
it's not that complicated.
[15:28] Kyo-NEET
So let's pick one of those
three things to start with.
[15:32] NOPE
You can start with any of them?
[15:34] Kyo-NEET
Yup.
[15:35] Kyo-NEET
You can start anywhere, but I think
it's easiest to start with a melody.
[15:40] Kyo-NEET
Of course, it differs from person to person.
[15:43] NOPE
But I don't know how to write a melody.
[15:48] Kyo-NEET
Jun, could you try humming a little?
[15:52] NOPE
Humming?
[15:53] Kyo-NEET
Yeah.
[16:01] Kyo-NEET
There, that's one option.
[16:04] Kyo-NEET
Let's play that back.
[16:09] NOPE
Th-That's all we need?
[16:11] NOPE
I was just humming.
[16:13] Kyo-NEET
All you need is some humming.
[16:15] Kyo-NEET
Let's do this a few more times,
and pick the best one as the main motif.
[16:22] -_-
I think I can hum, too.
[16:24] Purple
Kyo, this doesn't sound like making
music as much as it sounds like
[16:28] Purple
doing stuff until something
happens to sound good by accident.
[16:32] Kyo-NEET
That's exactly right.
[16:33] Kyo-NEET
A flash of inspiration is incidental, after all.
[16:36] Kyo-NEET
So it's more efficient to increase your odds
[16:39] Kyo-NEET
of making an accident than to
overthink it and freak out.
[16:43] -_-
Do you actually not need to do
difficult studying to make music?
[16:49] Kyo-NEET
You can do it without studying.
[16:51] Kyo-NEET
What's really hard is to actually get
started after you decide to do it,
[16:57] Kyo-NEET
and to stick with it until it's done.
[17:00] Kyo-NEET
So in my mind, your song
was already done
[17:05] Kyo-NEET
the moment you decided you wanted to do it.
[17:15] Kyo-NEET
All right, let's continue recording
our humming for a while.
[17:18] NOPE
Okay, I'll try.
[17:37] Purple
Hey, Jun, is it just me,
or is it getting weirder?
[17:41] Purple
I think your first one was the most song-like.
[17:45] NOPE
Yeah, I think so, too.
[17:47] Kyo-NEET
I think you're feeling too pressured.
[17:50] Kyo-NEET
You're trying too hard to make something good
[17:52] Kyo-NEET
that you've put a lid on your
ability to do things by chance.
[17:59] Kyo-NEET
It'd be better if you could
hum something more naturally.
[18:03] -_-
Kyo-nii.
[18:05] -_-
What makes you want to hum?
[18:08] Kyo-NEET
Let's see...
[18:10] Kyo-NEET
When I'm in a really good
mood, and I'm relaxed.
[18:15] Kyo-NEET
Oh, like when I'm taking a bath.
[18:32] Kyo-NEET
H-How did this happen?
[18:36] -_-
You said you hum when you take a bath.
[18:40] Kyo-NEET
But why do I need to be here?
[18:43] Purple
How else can we figure out if it's
good or not when she starts humming?
[18:50] NOPE
It's fun taking a bath with the four of us.
[18:52] -_-
Jun-tan, do you think you can hum?
[18:55] Purple
Don't do that, Sora.
[18:56] Purple
You're going to put pressure on her again.
[19:00] NOPE
Thanks, you two.
[19:02] NOPE
I'll do my best to come up with something
naturally and not overthink it.
[19:08] Curls
I'm home.
[19:10] Purple
Wearing this reminds me of Soryu Island.
[19:15] -_-
The food was delicious
and the naps were great.
[19:20] NOPE
Yeah, it was so much fun.
[19:23] NOPE
I hope we can go again.
[19:39] Kyo-NEET
That one.
[19:40] Kyo-NEET
That one was really good.
[19:43] Kyo-NEET
Use that one as a motif,
and we can make a masterpiece.
[19:47] Kyo-NEET
Record it.
[19:48] Kyo-NEET
Record it before we forget.
[19:50] NOPE
O-Okay.
[19:56] Curls
Why are you making so much noise in the bath?
[20:07] Curls
Wh-Wh-What are you doing?!
[20:12] -_-
Helping Jun-tan make music.
[20:16] Kyo-NEET
I'm home.
[20:24] Kyo-NEET
So Kiriyume did?
[20:26] Bath Gremlin
Yeah.
[20:27] Bath Gremlin
She said we're going to put on a huge show with
[20:30] Bath Gremlin
this piece and give
you a run for your money.
[20:33] Kyo-NEET
Is she holding a grudge?
[20:36] Bath Gremlin
I can play it now, but I don't know.
[20:42] Bath Gremlin
I heard Aigae-san's singing.
[20:45] Bath Gremlin
With her vocals, and with
the drawing onstage,
[20:50] Bath Gremlin
I feel like I'm going to be the weakest act.
[20:54] Bath Gremlin
Maybe it's hard to keep up with just piano.
[21:01] Kyo-NEET
Hey, in that case...
[21:04] Kyo-NEET
Why don't you make a backing
track to add more sound?
[21:07] Bath Gremlin
Sure, if I could do such
a thing, but I can't.
[21:11] Kyo-NEET
I'll help you.
[21:12] Bath Gremlin
What?
[21:14] Bath Gremlin
What are you talking about?
[21:15] Bath Gremlin
Helping me is one thing, but we're trying
to pick a fight with Jun and the others.
[21:21] Kyo-NEET
I get that, but...
[21:23] Kyo-NEET
For once, I want to help
you out, as your brother.
[21:33] Bath Gremlin
Onii-chan, you're kind of being a showoff.
SIGN Band Battles and Melodies
SIGN #12: Can't Help but Love the Music
[23:26] Cranky Toddler
We're going to knock their
socks off at the band battle.
[23:29] Cranky Toddler
They'd better repent.
[23:32] Long Story Short
I hope we raise the roof at the concert.
