**[00:00] (Flashback) Preschooler (Male)**
Come over now if you
wanna play hide-and-seek!
**[00:03] Preschoolers**
Me! I'll play!
**[00:04] Hitori**
* The girl who wonders,*
* "Would it be okay for me to join in?"*
**[00:06] Preschoolers**
Me! I'll play!
**[00:10] Hitori**
* and so misses her chance,*
* ending up all alone.*
**[00:11] Teacher**
Hitori-chan, what's wrong?
**[00:17] Hitori**
*The girl who ends up all alone at a picnic,*
**[00:19] ---**
Here you go.
**[00:21] Hitori**
*swapping parts of her lunch with the teacher.*
**[00:28] Hitori**
I'm home.
**[00:30] Hitori**
*The girl who doesn't join any clubs,*
**[00:31] Hitori**
*comes home right after school,*
**[00:33] Chef**
*And here, we'll stir-fry it a bit.*
**[00:35] Hitori**
* and finds her smartphone full of*
* nothing but messages from her parents*
**[00:36] Woman**
*There's a lot of vegetables,*
**[00:39] Hitori**
*and coupon offers.*
**[00:39] Woman**
* so you can probably make it quickly*
* if you cut them in advance.*
**[00:41] Hitori**
*That's me.*
**[00:42] Chef**
* You can probably do that*
* in the morning, yeah.*
**[00:43] Hitori**
*Hitori Gotoh, first-year in middle school.*
**[00:44] Woman**
* Lately I've gotten good at making*
* so many dishes so quickly*
**[00:46] Woman**
*I thought I didn't need to know any more,*
**[00:47] Hitori**
*Sometimes I think*
**[00:49] Hitori**
*I should really change the way I am...*
**[00:49] Woman**
* but lately I'm learning once again*
* how interesting cooking can be.*
**[00:52] Hitori**
*But I always stammer when I try to speak,*
**[00:56] Hitori**
*and I'm really bad at keeping eye contact...*
**[00:59] Hitori**
* A life as the archetypal introvert*
* just seems to fit me best.*
**[01:00] Chef**
*Personally I like a lot of options with rice.*
**[01:02] Woman**
*Oh, of course. But you—*
**[01:02] Naoki**
You watching this?
**[01:04] Hitori**
Nah.
**[01:06] Musician**
* Back in school, I was the guy who sat in the*
* back of the classroom pretending to read.*
**[01:11] Musician**
*No friends.*
**[01:13] Interviewer**
* And now you're part of a band that's*
* extremely popular with young people!*
**[01:18] Musician**
* Yeah. A band is a place where*
* even introverts can shine.*
**[01:21] Interviewer**
*I see!*
**[01:24] Interviewer**
*Now, here's "Trigger" by Instorms!*
**[01:35] Naoki**
What is it?
**[01:36] Hitori**
D-Dad, can I use your guitar?
**[01:39] Naoki**
Sure!
**[01:39] Hitori**
Th-Thanks!
**[01:43] Naoki**
Aha!
**[01:44] Naoki**
At last, Hitori's getting into guitar too!
**[01:49] Hitori**
*Maybe even someone like me can shine*
**[01:52] Hitori**

**[02:08] Hitori**
*I've made up my mind.*

Hello?
**[09:18] Hitori**
* I-I haven't talked to anyone*

**[09:21] Nijina**
Hey, sorry to ambush you.
**[09:23] Nijina**
I'm Nijika Ijichi, second-year
at Shimo-Kitazawa High.
**[09:27] Hitori**
Hitori Gotoh. Shuka High. First-year.
**[09:30] Nijika**
So tell me, Hitori-chan...
**[09:31] Hitori**
*Right to first names, are we?!*
**[09:33] Nijika**
How good are you at guitar?
**[09:35] Hitori**
Pretty decent, I guess...
**[09:37] Nijika**
Really?!
**[09:38] Nijika**
Say, I'm in kind of a fix here...
**[09:41] Nijika**
If you can't do it, that's okay, but...
**[09:43] Nijika**
It's really okay, but I'm in a real fix...
**[09:45] Hitori**
*There's nothing okay about her!*
**[09:47] Nijika**
Okay, I'll come right out with it!
**[09:50] Nijika**
Please, will you play second
guitar for my band for today?!
**[09:56] Hitori**
*Band?*
**[09:57] Nijika**
We've got a concert coming up,
and our guitarist just split!
**[10:01] Nijika**
The song's not too hard!
You'll pick it up right away!
**[10:01] Hitori**
*A concert?! Right now?!*
**[10:04] Nijika**
Please! Please!
**[10:06] Hitori**
Um, err...
**[10:10] Nijika**
Thanks! Let's head to the club!
**[10:13] Hitori**
*I haven't even said anything yet!*
**[10:17] Hitori**
*I got dragged along.*
**[10:19] Nijika**
Do you come to Shimo-Kita a lot, Hitori-chan?
**[10:22] Hitori**
Oh, well...
**[10:23] Hitori**
* Right, like I've got the courage to visit*
* a fashion town for trendy people...*
**[10:27] Nijika**
We're almost to the club.
**[10:31] Hitori**
*Nijika-chan's fashionable, too.*
**[10:33] Hitori**
*She's got the real rocker-chick vibe.*
**[10:36] Hitori**
*Meanwhile, I'm in a potato-quality tracksuit*
**[10:38] Hitori**
* with a real bear of a set of bags under my*
* eyes, and a back as arched as a cat...*
**[10:41] Hitori**
*Wait, do I also smell like mold?*
**[10:43] Hitori**
*I spend so much time in the closet...*
**[10:45] Hitori**
*No, I smell like mothballs.*
**[10:48] Hitori**
*Meanwhile, Nijika-chan smells great!*
**[10:52] Hitori**
* She smells just the way*
* a high school girl should!*
**[10:55] Nijika**
Oh, am I walking too fast?
**[10:56] Hitori**
N-No...
**[10:58] Nijika**
The club we're gonna play at
is called Starry.
**[11:02] Nijika**
My big sister's the manager there.
**[11:02] Hitori**
*Playing at a club...*
**[11:04] Hitori**
*That sounds weirdly legit.*
**[11:07] Hitori**
*Wait, what's my heart doing?*
**[11:09] Nijika**
And so...
**[11:11] Nijika**
I've been working there part-time...
**[11:16] Nijika**
Hitori-chan, are you
actually pretty athletic?
**[11:19] Hitori**
N-No, but I'm always the last one standing
in dodgeball for some reason.
**[11:24] Nijika**
I... I see.
**[11:26] Hitori**
*Me? Playing in a club?*
**[11:29] Hitori**
*No, don't back down now!*
**[11:32] Hitori**
* Remember your daydreams of*
* performing at the culture festival!*
**[11:36] Hitori**
*And your first solo show at Zepp Super Arena!*
**[11:40] Crowd**
Hitori! Hitori! Hitori!
**[11:44] Hitori**
I'm the girl who sold out the Budokan...
**[11:46] Nijika**
What?
**[11:47] Hitori**
Oh, nothing!
**[11:50] Hitori**
* Please, don't let her think she*
* made a mistake choosing me!*
**[11:53] Nijika**
*I might've made a mistake choosing her...*
**[11:56] Nijika**
We're here!
**[11:57] Nijika**
This is the place!
**[12:00] Hitori**
*Th-The dark lands?*
**[12:03] Nijika**
Good morning!
**[12:08] Hitori**
*My first club...*
**[12:10] Hitori**
*It's so dark... So stuffy...*
**[12:13] Hitori**
*I-It's so soothing!*
**[12:15] Nijika**
You okay, Hitori-chan?
**[12:17] Hitori**
I'm home!
**[12:19] Nijika**
No, you're not!
**[12:19] Women**
Could we ask the PA to record again?
**[12:21] Nijika**
That's the band that's playing today.
**[12:22] Hitori**
*I thought bands would be intimidating,*
**[12:23] Nijika**
They might be a little older than us?
**[12:25] Hitori**
*but they're all indoorsy, shy introverts!*
**[12:25] Nijika**
After they're done, we'll rehearse too.
**[12:28] Hitori**
*They're just like me!*
**[12:30] Nijika**
That there's the PA.
***SIGN*** Do not spill drinks on equipment!
**[12:33] PA**
Good morning.
**[12:34] Hitori**
Please forgive my arrogance!
**[12:36] Nijika**
What's wrong now?!
**[12:38] Ryo**
You're finally back.
**[12:39] Nijika**
Ryo!
**[12:41] Nijika**
This is Hitori Gotoh. Hitori-chan!
**[12:43] Nijika**
I met her in the park by miraculous
happenstance! She's a guitarist!
**[12:46] Ryo**
Oh?
**[12:47] Hitori**
*Scary! Is she glaring at me?*
**[12:49] Nijika**
This is Ryo Yamada. She plays bass.
**[12:51] Hitori**
I-I'm Hitori Gotoh! I'm so very sorry!
**[12:54] Nijika**
Hang on!
**[12:56] Nijika**
Y-You're okay!
**[12:57] Nijika**
Ryo's just not the expressive type.
**[12:59] Nijika**
Feel free to call her weird! She likes it!
**[13:01] Ryo**
I don't, actually.
**[13:03] Hitori**
*Seemed like she did...*
**[13:04] Ryo**
By the way, about the manager...
**[13:06] Ryo**
She told you to practice until it was time,
**[13:08] Ryo**
but instead you snuck out of the club,
**[13:11] Ryo**
so she got so mad she went out shopping.
**[13:13] Nijika**
N-No way!
**[13:14] Nijika**
Let's be in the studio before she comes back!
**[13:17] Nijika**
You too, Hitori-chan!
**[13:18] Nijika**
C'mon!
**[13:20] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[13:22] Hitori**
*Real life is scary.*
**[13:24] Hitori**
* But I feel like there's*
* some fun stuff coming up!*
**[13:30] Nijika**
Here's today's set list and score.
**[13:33] Hitori**
Wh-Where are the other band members?
**[13:36] Nijika**
This is everyone!
**[13:37] Nijika**
We'll be doing all instrumentals this time.
**[13:40] Hitori**
*Right. I can handle this song.*
**[13:43] Hitori**
* Though without any vocals, the playing's*
* gotta be all that much better...*
**[13:47] Hitori**
*But I'm supposedly good at guitar. I can do this.*
**[13:49] Hitori**
*I think I can do this!*
**[13:53] Ryo**
Gorilla?
**[13:57] Hitori**
*Maybe they'll be blown away by my playing!*
**[14:00] Hitori**
* I mean, I get pretty good...*
* pretty decent reactions online.*
**[14:01] Nijika**
Let's take it right from the top.
**[14:02] Nijika**
It's your first time,
so we'll run through slow,
**[14:05] Hitori**
*I even have 30,000 subscribers!*
**[14:06] Nijika**
then we can speed it up
as you get used to it.
**[14:07] Hitori**
*Yeah, let's do this!*
**[14:09] Nijika**
Okay, let's go!
**[14:26] Nijika**
You suck!
**[14:29] Hitori**
*H-How can I suck?*
**[14:29] Nijika**
Ah, I'm kidding!
**[14:30] Hitori**
*I'm guitarhero!*
**[14:31] Nijika**
Well, not totally kidding, but...
Ah, I'm sorry!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
**[15:11] Nijika**
Come out, please!
**[15:13] Nijika**
The show's about to start!
**[15:14] Hitori**
I c-c-can't do it!
**[15:16] Nijika**
It's not your fault!
We just came together today!
**[15:19] Nijika**
It's not like I'm very good either.
**[15:21] Ryo**
I'm *very* good.
**[15:24] Nijika**
Just look at me, okay!
**[15:26] Nijika**
Stay here in reality!
**[15:28] Hitori**
It isn't like I could
do the intro or anything...
**[15:32] Hitori**
I-I could offer up my life
to put on a harakiri show!
**[15:36] Hitori**
Th-They'll at least remember
the name of the band, right?
**[15:39] Hitori**
Sorry I sucked!
**[15:40] Nijika**
That's a little *too* rock!
**[15:42] Ryo**
It's okay.
**[15:43] Ryo**
If they boo you, I'll give
them a bonk with my bass.
***SIGN*** Bonk.
**[15:47] Hitori**
Does a bass make such a fancy noise?
**[15:50] Nijika**
I mean, bloodshed is pretty rock.
**[15:52] Ryo**
It's rock.
**[15:53] Hitori**
You can't justify everything with "rock"!
**[15:55] Nijika**
Besides, it'll probably just be my
friends who come to watch us play!
**[16:00] Ryo**
And Nijika is my only friend, so...
**[16:03] Nijika**
Normal high school girls
don't know good music from bad.
**[16:07] Hitori**
* That kind of take could get you*
* in trouble on the internet.*
**[16:10] Nijika**
Okay? So just chill!
**[16:13] Hitori**
I d-dunno...
**[16:14] Ryo**
*I* know good music from bad.
**[16:16] Nijika**
Well, you're not normal.
**[16:19] Nijika**
Hey, that wasn't a compliment.
**[16:21] Hitori**
Sorry.
**[16:23] Nijika**
But...
**[16:24] Ryo**
We can't force her.
**[16:27] Nijika**
You're right.
**[16:29] Nijika**
Sorry to push you so hard.
**[16:30] Hitori**
No, actually...
**[16:32] Hitori**
I r-really was happy you reached out to me.
**[16:37] Hitori**
I've wanted to be in a band for so long...
**[16:40] Hitori**
B-But I couldn't get the people together...
**[16:43] Hitori**
So I just upload covers
to the internet instead.
**[16:46] Ryo**
What do you usually play?
**[16:48] Hitori**
M-Mostly songs by popular bands
from the last few years,
**[16:51] Hitori**
so I could play them right away
once the band got together...
**[16:54] Nijika**
That's awesome!
**[16:55] Hitori**
It's not.
**[16:56] Hitori**
It's the reason I'm the way I am now.
**[16:59] Hitori**
Being in a band with other people
was a pipe dream after all.
**[17:03] Nijika**
Covering all popular songs?
**[17:05] Nijika**
She sounds like guitarhero-san!
**[17:07] Nijika**
Have you heard of her?
**[17:08] Nijika**
She's probably about our age, I think...
**[17:09] Hitori**

She's super awesome! You should hear her!
**[17:18] Hitori**
*Awe... some?*
**[17:20] Ryo**
She comes up in my recommendations
a lot, so I've seen her too.
**[17:23] Ryo**
She really is excellent.
**[17:25] Nijika**
Right?!
**[17:26] Nijika**
Though her naming sense is a bit cringy...
**[17:28] Hitori**
*It is?!*
**[17:29] Nijika**
I follow her with notifications on!
**[17:33] Nijika**
I'd love to play with her some day!
**[17:35] Hitori**
*You just did, actually...*
**[17:38] Nijika**
Look, what I'm getting at here
**[17:41] Nijika**
is that even awesome, popular people
are out there playing guitar,
**[17:44] Nijika**
lots and lots of them,
in places we're not even watching.
**[17:49] Nijika**
You should watch her later!
**[17:50] Nijika**
I think you'll get what I mean
if you watch the videos.
**[17:54] Hitori**
* I always figured real-life people*
* didn't care about me at all...*
**[18:02] Nijika**
You can't give up on playing in a band
just because it didn't work out today!
**[18:05] Nijika**
It's possible it's our problem, anyway...
**[18:08] Ryo**
Our problem?
**[18:09] Nijika**
Hitori-chan?
**[18:11] Hitori**
* But someone this nice has been*
* watching me all this time,*
**[18:14] Hitori**
*and actually spoke to me...*
**[18:17] Ryo**
She stood up.
**[18:18] Hitori**
* It's the kind of miracle*
* most people never experience!*
**[18:22] Hitori**
*I can't let it go to waste!*
**[18:25] Hitori**
I... I'm...
**[18:27] Nijika**
D-Do you want to perform after all?
**[18:33] Nijika**
Hitori-chan?
**[18:34] Hitori**
*I know all that, rationally...*
**[18:36] Hitori**
*But I'm still too scared...*
**[18:37] Hitori**
* There's no way I can play*
* in front of an audience...*
**[18:40] Ryo**
If you're scared,
you could play from in here.

**[18:54] Ryo**
She's suddenly more outgoing.
**[18:56] Nijika**
By the way, how do you
want us to introduce you?
**[18:59] Nijika**
"Hitori-chan"? Should we use your real name?
**[19:02] Hitori**
I'd... I'd rather not...
**[19:03] Nijika**
Any nicknames, then?
**[19:05] Hitori**
In middle school, they called me
"Hey" and "You there"...
**[19:09] Nijika**
I don't think those are nicknames!
**[19:10] Hitori**
I never knew anyone well enough
to get nicknames from them!
**[19:15] Ryo**
Hitori...
**[19:16] Ryo**
Hitoribocchi (all alone)...
**[19:17] Ryo**
How about Bocchi-chan?
**[19:19] Nijika**
Another tactless comment!
**[19:21] Hitori**
I'm B-B-Bocchi!
**[19:23] Nijika**
She likes it?
**[19:24] Hitori**
It's just my first ever nickname...
**[19:26] Nijika**
This is making me teary-eyed.
**[19:28] Hitori**
Oh, you haven't told me your band name yet.
**[19:33] Ryo**
It's Kessoku Band.
**[19:37] Hitori**
Kessoku Band...
**[19:39] Hitori**
Isn't that the word for "zip tie"?
**[19:41] Ryo**
It's brilliant.
**[19:42] Nijika**
It's the worst pun!
We're totally changing it!
**[19:44] Ryo**
Why? It's cute.
**[19:46] Hitori**
Y-Yes.
**[19:48] Nijika**
Band name aside, it's time to play!
**[19:53] Nijika**
Don't worry.
**[19:54] Nijika**
The key is to have fun, even if you suck!
**[19:58] Nijika**
Your feelings really come
out in your playing, see?
**[20:01] Hitori**
R-Right...
**[20:03] Nijika**
We can always work on the
skill part next time.
**[20:07] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[20:08] Hitori**
*Next... time...*
**[20:09] Nijika**
Okay, let's go!
**[20:10] Ryo**
Right.
**[20:12] Hitori**
*They're okay with there being a next time!*
**[20:19] Nijika**
Nice to meet you! We're Kessoku Band!
**[20:22] Nijika**
We'll play a bunch of
songs you probably know,
**[20:25] Nijika**
so please enjoy!
**[20:26] Seika**
Who's that?
**[20:37] Hitori**
* I hate that I can't play as*
* well as I usually do, but...*
**[20:41] Hitori**
* playing in a band with other*
* people is so much fun!*
**[20:48] Hitori**
*I've never really shone before today...*
**[20:52] Hitori**
*And I still don't!*
**[20:53] Hitori**
*This might actually be a low point for me!*
**[21:01] Nijika**
Boy, I screwed up!
**[21:02] Ryo**
Your intro bombed, too.
**[21:04] Hitori**
E-Excuse me!
**[21:06] Hitori**
B-B-B...
**[21:07] Nijika**
What?
**[21:08] ---**
B-B-B-B-B...
**[21:10] Nijika**
Okay, you're freaking me out!
**[21:12] Hitori**
B-Before our next performance, I'm gonna get
brave enough to say hello to my classmates!
**[21:17] Nijika**
What a dramatic declaration.
**[21:18] Ryo**
Such growth...
**[21:20] Nijika**
Okay, I get it.
**[21:21] Nijika**
Sure!
**[21:22] Nijika**
Then let's have a Bocchi-chan-welcome-party-
slash-concert-post-mortem!
**[21:27] Hitori**
Actually, I'm pretty exhausted from
all this social interaction, so I'm gonna go.
**[21:30] Ryo**
Sorry. I'm sleepy.
**[21:32] Hitori**
P-Pardon me!
**[21:38] Nijika**
There's no "ties" in this band at all!
**[21:49] Hitori**
*I'm gonna get over my social anxiety*
**[21:51] Hitori**
*and bring out my full guitarhero powers!*
**[21:56] Hitori**
*For Nijika-chan,*
**[21:57] Hitori**
*Ryo-san,*
**[21:59] Hitori**
*and Kessoku Band!*

Oh, so you live in Shimo-Kitazawa...

Huh? Bocchi-chan, don't you go to Shuka High?
**[03:58] Nijika**
Shouldn't you live around here too?
**[04:00] Hitori**
No, I live out-of-prefecture.
Two-hour commute each way.
**[04:03] Ryo**
Two hours?!
**[04:04] Nijika**
Why?
**[04:05] Hitori**
I wanted a high school
where nobody knew my past.
**[04:09] Nijika**
Okay, enough TAS!
**[04:11] Hitori**
S-Sorry...
**[04:13] Hitori**
I spend most of my time at school alone,
**[04:16] Hitori**
so I don't have any f-fun
stories to contribute...
**[04:20] Nijika**
Hey, it's okay!

*Such words plunge me into a deep melancholy.*
**[05:49] Nijika**
Hey, Bocchi-chan?
**[05:51] Guitar Man**
By the same token,
**[05:52] Guitar Man**
you love bands that write about the
bleakness of their high school years, right?
**[05:55] Nijika**
Hey...
**[05:56] Hitori**
Oh, yeah!
**[05:58] Hitori**
But sometimes I find out a band I love
was super popular in school,
**[06:03] Hitori**
and they suddenly feel
like strangers to me...
**[06:06] Nijika**
Hey, please! Come back to our planet, please!
**[06:10] Hitori**
Rock resonates as the music
of the perpetual underdog.
**[06:13] Hitori**
Is it really rock if it's
sung by life's winners?
**[06:16] Nijika**
I'm trying to establish some ties, here!

Since we're named after zip ties.

**[06:26] Hitori**
Oh, do you?
**[06:27] Nijika**
The guitarist who ran off was

**[06:31] Nijika**
Where'd she even go, anyway?
**[06:35] Hitori**
*The runaway guitarist...*
**[06:38] Hitori**

*If you're really socially anxious,

Let's find a vocalist and write a song!
**[07:14] Nijika**
Ryo can write the music,
**[07:16] Nijika**
and if you've got off-limits words,
Bocchi-chan, you should write the lyrics!
**[07:20] Hitori**
*Me?!*
**[07:21] Nijika**
Well? Great idea, huh?
**[07:23] Hitori**
* The nine years of lunch breaks*
* I spent in school libraries...*
**[07:27] Hitori**
Was it all in preparation for this moment?
**[07:29] Ryo**
So, what will you do, Nijika?
**[07:33] Nijika**
Go!
**[07:35] Nijika**
Next, talk about quotas!
**[07:38] Ryo**
Just shamelessly dodged that one, eh?
**[07:40] Hitori**
Um... What are quotas?
**[07:43] Nijika**
The concert we did yesterday
is called a "booked concert."
**[07:46] Nijika**
It's where the club assigns
the band a ticket quota
**[07:49] Nijika**
to make sure enough people come.
**[07:51] Club-kun**
Your quota is ten tickets!
**[07:59] Nijika**
Anything sold over the quota gets
split between the club and the band...
**[08:08] Nijika**
But if they can't bring in
enough to meet the quota,
**[08:10] Nijika**
the band has to pay the rest out of pocket.
**[08:13] Ryo**
So until you get popular, it's a money pit.
**[08:16] Hitori**
That's very concise!
**[08:17] Nijika**
A bunch of my friends came
to yesterday's concert,
**[08:21] Nijika**
so we managed to meet our quota, but...
**[08:23] Ryo**
After that performance,
they likely won't be back.
**[08:25] Nijika**
You said it!
**[08:27] Nijika**
And Ryo's got no friends,
so she'll be no help...
**[08:31] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, do you—
**[08:33] Nijika**
Oh, sorry! Forget what I said.
**[08:35] Nijika**
Just please lose the dead fish stare!
**[08:37] Hitori**
*I've got plenty of imaginary friends, but...*
**[08:40] Guitar Man**
You rock, Hitori-chan!
**[08:42] Mai-kun**
Living national treasure!
**[08:44] Nijika**
Anyway, since we'll need tens of thousands
of yen before our next concert,
**[08:48] Nijika**
let's get jobs to cover
the quota and equipment!
**[08:53] Hitori**
Okay.
**[08:54] Hitori**
Jobs?!
**[08:56] Nijika**
That's the loudest I've ever heard you.
**[08:58] Hitori**
No.
**[08:59] Hitori**
I don't want to work. Too scary!
**[09:01] Hitori**
Society is too scary!
**[09:06] Nijika**
A piggy bank?
**[09:08] Hitori**
M-My mom was saving up for my wedding...
**[09:12] Hitori**
But you can have it.
**[09:14] Hitori**
Just... Please, no job...
**[09:16] Nijika**
Don't make us the bad guys here!
**[09:16] Ryo**
Thanks, we'll take good care of—
**[09:18] Nijika**
We're *not* taking it!
**[09:19] Nijika**
We can't take money that
means that much to you!
**[09:24] Hitori**
But...
**[09:25] Hitori**
*I don't wanna work!*
**[09:26] Hitori**
*Because...*
**[09:29] Hitori**
W-Welcome... Sh-Should I warm... up?

**[09:58] Hitori**
S-Sorry!
**[09:59] Hitori**
Wh-What were you saying?

You should work here with us.

**[10:30] Nijika**
Really? Thanks so much!
**[10:32] Hitori**
*Sorry, girl...*
**[10:32] Nijika**
The job'll be more fun if we're all together!
**[10:33] Hitori**
* It wouldn't be social anxiety*
* if we had the courage to say no.*
**[10:36] Nijika**
I'll manage the band's funds, then.
**[10:40] Hitori**
Um... Wouldn't it be better
to have Ryo-san do that?
**[10:43] Nijika**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[10:45] Nijika**
Listen, Bocchi-chan.
**[10:47] Nijika**
Believe it or not,
Ryo's a very irresponsible spender.
**[10:51] Nijika**
Her family's rich and she
gets a huge allowance,
**[10:54] Nijika**
but she blows it all on instruments,
so she's constantly broke!
**[10:57] Ryo**
Blush.
**[10:58] Nijika**
What part of that did you
take as a compliment?
**[11:01] Nijika**
Anyway, let's work hard
so we can play live again soon!
**[11:05] Nijika**
Then we'll make our major
debut in high school!
**[11:08] Nijika**
We start work next week!

**[11:17] Hitori**
*And that first day of work is tomorrow.*

*I've been in here for thirty minutes now.*
**[11:25] Hitori**
*I'm bound to catch a cold, right?*
**[11:27] Hitori**
*I'm sorry... I'm sorry...*
**[11:29] Hitori**
*I'll work hard at everything except the job.*

*Curse this good health of mine...*
**[11:57] Hitori**
*Then I'll just have to fake—*
**[12:04] Hitori**
*Nijika-chan?*
**[12:05] Nijika**
*Morning!*
**[12:06] Nijika**
*First day of work, right?*
**[12:08] Nijika**
* I know you're nervous,*
* but we'll be there for you!*
**[12:10] Nijika**
*Let's work hard together!*
**[12:12] Hitori**
* No fair being so nice while*
* I'm trying to blow off work...*
**[12:23] Hitori**
* You've made me realize the*
* foolish error of my ways.*
**[12:26] Hitori**
* For making an honest woman out of me,*

We're still getting ready here.
**[12:51] Hitori**
*She works here?!*
**[12:53] Hitori**
*She thinks I'm up to no good...*
**[12:54] Hitori**
*I've got to clear this up!*
**[12:58] Hitori**
C-C-C-C-C-Calm down...
**[13:02] Seika**
You're the one who needs to calm down.
**[13:04] Seika**
So you're the new part-timer?
**[13:06] Seika**
You should've just said so.
**[13:08] Hitori**
S-S-S-S-Sorry!
**[13:09] Seika**
I'm the manager here. Nice to meet you.
**[13:12] Hitori**
V-Very nice to meet you...
**[13:15] Hitori**
*The manager's scary.*
**[13:17] Hitori**
*I can't handle people like her.*
**[13:18] Hitori**
*Nijika-chan, come here quick!*
**[13:20] Seika**
Hey, you're the guitarist
who played in the box.
**[13:24] Seika**
Wasn't it... Mango Kamen?
**[13:28] Hitori**
*A new nickname?*
**[13:30] Hitori**
*I like you, Manager!*
**[13:31] Hitori**
I-I'm Mango Kamen!
**[13:34] Nijika**
That is *not* her name!
**[13:36] Nijika**
Don't go giving her weird nicknames, Sis!
**[13:40] Hitori**
Sis?!
**[13:41] Hitori**
You're Nijika-chan's sister?
**[13:42] Nijika**
I told you before.
**[13:44] Nijika**
When you first came to Starry, remember?
**[13:47] (Flashback) Nijika**
The club we're gonna play at
is called Starry.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Nijika**
My big sister's the manager there.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Nijika**
Actually, our family lives
in the apartments above it.
**[13:58] Hitori**
* My heart was pounding so loud*
* that I didn't hear her.*
**[14:00] Hitori**
R-R-R-Really?
**[14:02] Nijika**
That means you don't have to be so nervous.
**[14:06] Nijika**
Right, Sis?
**[14:07] Seika**
Call me "Manager" here.
**[14:09] Seika**
And keep our work and private
relationships separate.
**[14:12] Nijika**
Don't scare her like that!

**[14:16] Nijika**
Okay, let's clear the tables first.
**[14:19] Nijika**
When that's done, we'll wipe them all down...
**[14:22] Nijika**
Huh? Where's Bocchi-chan?
**[14:26] Hitori**
Sorry. I needed a breather
in a dark, cramped place.
**[14:30] Nijika**
You need a breather already?!
**[14:32] Nijika**
Here, Bocchi-chan, come over
and learn the drinks.
**[14:37] Nijika**
Tonic water comes out of here,
**[14:39] Nijika**
and beer comes out of this dispenser.
**[14:42] Nijika**
The cocktails are on the shelf behind...
**[14:44] Hitori**
*I-I'll never remember it all!*
**[14:45] Hitori**
*Too fast!*
**[14:46] Hitori**
*I just... mummummmmm...*
**[14:51] Hitori**
I'll have to infuse the knowledge
into me through song!
**[14:54] Nijika**
Where did that come from?!
**[14:55] Hitori**
Cocktails are in the rightmost shelf!
**[14:58] Nijika**
You're scaring me!
**[14:59] Hitori**
Tequila!
**[14:59] PA**
They seem fun.
**[14:59] Nijika**
I'm glad you're learning the drinks,
**[15:01] Hitori**
Vodka!
**[15:01] Nijika**
but why don't you set the guitar down?
**[15:02] Hitori**
Kahlua!
**[15:03] Hitori**
Rum!
**[15:04] Nijika**
Hey, are you listening?
**[15:04] Seika**
Weird... She seemed kind of
crappy at the concert, but...
**[15:07] Nijika**
You're not, are you?!
**[15:09] PA**
She's good.
**[15:09] Nijika**
You're seriously scaring me!
**[15:11] Seika**
* Nijika's trying so hard to stop her,*
* I don't think she realizes it...*
**[15:12] Nijika**
P-Please! Come back to us!
**[15:15] Nijika**
Hitori-chan!
**[15:15] Seika**
*But I recognize that sound from somewhere.*
**[15:17] Nijika**
Hitori-chan!
**[15:19] Seika**
Get to work!
**[15:20] Nijika**
Why me?!
**[15:22] Nijika**
For drink service, just pour the
drinks they order and hand them over.
**[15:26] Hitori**
R-Right...
**[15:27] Nijika**
They can pay 500 yen
on top of the ticket price
**[15:30] Nijika**
to get a drink ticket.
**[15:32] Hitori**
*500 yen per drink?*
**[15:35] Hitori**
*And why a drink ticket system?*
**[15:38] Nijika**
Stop staring like it's totally alien to you.
**[15:41] Nijika**
Clubs like this are actually
considered restaurants.
**[15:45] Nijika**
I don't know all the details,
**[15:47] Nijika**
but apparently it's super hard to get a
business license to run just a concert venue.
**[15:51] Hitori**
I... I see!
**[15:53] Nijika**
So we offer drinks
and operate like a restaurant.
**[15:59] Nijika**
Are you listening?
**[16:01] Hitori**
*W-Working at a restaurant is advanced stuff!*
**[16:04] Hitori**
*I can't believe I cleared that bar so soon!*
**[16:06] Hitori**

*We're losing the club's inherent darkness.*

*I experienced no personal growth whatsoever.*
**[17:03] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, look!
**[17:06] Crowd**
Here they are!
**[17:08] Tsuyoshi**
Hey, there! We're Alexandism!
**[17:12] Tsuyoshi**
Our second album goes on sale today,
**[17:12] Nijika**
They're pretty good, y'know?
**[17:15] Tsuyoshi**
so we're back to doing concerts,
**[17:16] Nijika**
It's a good time to relax.
**[17:17] Tsuyoshi**
but we hope you all bought it!
**[17:18] Nijika**
Once the performances start,
we'll have time to kill.
**[17:19] Tsuyoshi**
Thanks!
**[17:20] hitori**
Right...
**[17:21] Ryo**
Good work.
**[17:22] Nijika**
Good work!
**[17:22] Tsuyoshi**
We tried to make every single
song better than our first album,
**[17:23] Nijika**
Don't you have to sell tickets?
**[17:24] Ryo**
Manager stepped in for me.
**[17:26] Ryo**
All of today's bands are really popular,
**[17:26] Tsuyoshi**
and if you haven't bought it yet,
we're about to play some of those songs,
**[17:29] Ryo**
so she told me to watch and learn.
**[17:31] Nijika**
That's my sister for you.
**[17:31] Tsuyoshi**
so if you like them, please buy the album!
**[17:33] Nijika**
She's a tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun-tsun...
**[17:34] Tsuyoshi**
And there's something I want
to tell you guys first.
**[17:36] Nijika**
...dere. You know?
**[17:38] Ryo**
Excessive tsun.
**[17:38] Tsuyoshi**
The crowd rocked pretty
hard at our last concert!
**[17:39] Hitori**
S-S-Sorry...
**[17:41] Hitori**
Not only did I fail to help you,
**[17:41] Tsuyoshi**
So after it was over, a guy came up
and offered up his card.
**[17:43] Hitori**
I couldn't even make eye
contact with the customers.
**[17:45] Ryo**
Want this?
**[17:45] Tsuyoshi**
And we were so nervous. "Is this time
for our major debut?" we thought.
**[17:47] Ryo**
Sorry it's not for mangos.
**[17:49] Nijika**
No, thank you.
**[17:50] Tsuyoshi**
But it would look pretty lame to let it show,
**[17:52] Nijika**
You're doing fine!
**[17:52] Tsuyoshi**
so after a beat we just said,
"Hello, welcome."
**[17:53] Nijika**
It's your first day. You'll get used to it!
**[17:56] Tsuyoshi**
"Welcome?"
**[17:57] Tsuyoshi**
Habits can be scary, huh?
**[17:57] Hitori**
Wh-Why are you so nice to a
sub-water-flea like me?
**[18:01] Tsuyoshi**
The words that came out of my mouth
**[18:03] Tsuyoshi**
were the words I've said a million
times at my part time job.
**[18:06] Nijika**
You know...
**[18:08] Tsuyoshi**
According to the guy who gave us his card,
**[18:08] Nijika**
I really like this club.
**[18:10] Tsuyoshi**
he wanted to listen to the band
on after us today, Tidaman,
**[18:10] Nijika**
But here and reception are the only places
club staff interact with the customers,
**[18:17] Tsuyoshi**
but we don't get along with them,
and we really wanna outshine them,
**[18:17] Nijika**
so I want to do my best to make
other people like it, too.
**[18:21] Tsuyoshi**
so we hope you listen to Alexandism too!
**[18:22] Hitori**
I'm s-s-sorry.
**[18:24] Hitori**
I w-worked so badly at a place
that means so much to you...
**[18:26] Nijika**
No, no.
**[18:26] Tsuyoshi**
Now, let me introduce the band!
**[18:27] Nijika**
That's not what I meant.
**[18:29] Tsuyoshi**
Always eating curry before a concert, with his
own way of doing things... on bass, Matsuda!
**[18:29] Nijika**
I meant I want *you* to like
this club too, Bocchi-chan.
**[18:33] Tsuyoshi**
And the normal guy who always
has our backs... on drums, Rei!
**[18:35] Nijika**
I want us to have fun working,
**[18:37] Nijika**
and to have fun playing.
**[18:37] Tsuyoshi**
He's got so many effects pedals he barely has
room on stage to stand... on guitar, Koichi!
**[18:39] Nijika**
Together.
**[18:44] Tsuyoshi**
And on guitar and vocals, without
much to recommend him... me!
**[18:44] Nijika**
'Course, I also hope you'll be able to speak
to customers with a smile some day, too...
**[18:49] Crowd**
Tsuyoshi!
**[18:50] Tsuyoshi**
Let's do this!
**[18:51] Nijika**
It's starting, Bocchi-chan!
**[19:02] Hitori**
*The whole place is united.*
**[19:04] Hitori**
* The customers and the performers*

**[19:08] Hitori**
*Meanwhile, at my concert...*
**[19:11] Hitori**
* The customers paid 2,000 yen*
* to see that, didn't they?*
**[19:16] Hitori**
*If I stay the way I am,*
**[19:18] Hitori**
* I'm gonna give them the same listless*
* concert next time too, aren't I?*
**[19:25] Hitori**
* I want to make the effort to change,*

*Look her in the eye!*
**[19:57] Hitori**
*Interact!*
**[20:00] Hitori**
H-Here you are.
**[20:02] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan! Your eyes! Your eyes!
**[20:04] Customer D**
Thanks!
**[20:07] Nijika**
Wow, that was nerve-wracking!
**[20:10] Nijika**
But great job!
**[20:11] Nijika**
You kept your head above the counter
and talked to her!
**[20:15] Hitori**
I did my best!
**[20:16] Nijika**
Yeah!
**[20:17] Nijika**
Having you here will make my memories
of today's concert even more fun.
**[20:22] Nijika**
And you've taken a step forward.
**[20:27] Hitori**
A step...
**[20:32] Hitori**
*A step.*
**[20:37] Hitori**
*A step?!*
**[20:38] Hitori**
*It feels like I took a thousand, though!*

*A melancholy Monday has arrived.*
**[00:13] Futari**
Feels good to be over your cold, huh?
**[00:15] Hitori**
Y-Yeah...
**[00:16] Futari**
Or are you happy your cold
let you miss school a few days?
**[00:21] Hitori**
Not at all.
**[00:22] Futari**
How come?
**[00:24] Futari**
You always say you wanna stay home...
**[00:26] Hitori**
I don't like going to school,
**[00:28] Hitori**
but for someone like me,
even one day of failing to attend class
**[00:31] Hitori**
puts me in risk of being
forgotten by my classmates.
**[00:35] Futari**
Guess you're a real pain
in your own ass, Sis!
**[00:39] Futari**
Oh, and Mom says it's time to eat!
**[00:42] Hitori**
*Yes, it's true.*
**[00:44] Hitori**
* I could burst from the sheer volume*
* of nuisance I inflict upon myself.*
**[00:50] Hitori**
*But wait a minute.*
**[00:51] Hitori**
* I joined a band, and I'm*
* working part-time at a club!*
**[00:57] Hitori**
*Perhaps I've graduated from my introversion!*
**[01:01] Hitori**
*Yes!*
**[01:02] Hitori**
*I'll take my guitar to school again.*
**[01:04] Hitori**
*Someone's bound to talk to me this time!*
**[01:10] Hitori**
* Yep. Putting the onus on*
* others fails once again.*
**[01:11] Classmate B**
Hey, did you watch the latest Oto-Station?
**[01:14] Classmate A**
I did did!
**[01:15] Classmate A**
You can stream BAKWIMPS again!
**[01:19] Classmate B**
I've been listening to them
so much since yesterday,
**[01:21] Classmate B**
they're still playing in my head!
**[01:23] Classmate A**
Uh-oh!
**[01:24] Hitori**
*Band talk!*
**[01:27] Classmate A**
What's up, Gotoh-san?
**[01:29] Classmate B**
You hardly ever talk to anyone!
**[01:32] Hitori**
* All my preparation assumed*
* others would approach me first,*
**[01:34] Hitori**
* so I don't know how*
* to start a conversation...*
**[01:38] Hitori**
I forgot.
**[01:39] Classmates A & B**
In that short a time?!
**[01:41] Guitar Man**
It's lunchtime!
**[01:46] Hitori**
*This is for the best.*
**[01:48] Hitori**
* If I'd managed to talk to them,*
* right about now...*
**[01:52] Classmate A**
Barging into our convo like that...
**[01:54] Classmate A**
Was she listening in the
whole time or something?!
**[01:57] Classmate B**
I didn't know she was such a creep!
**[02:00] Hitori**
*That's definitely how it'd be!*
**[02:02] Hitori**
*I'll never rise above my station again.*
**[02:04] Hitori**
*I'll live under the radar forever!*
**[02:06] Hitori**
Thank you for the meal.
**[02:10] Hitori**
* Still... A quiet place like this*
* is just perfect for lunch.*
**[02:15] Hitori**
*I'm glad I found a nice spot.*
**[02:17] Hitori**
* It's awkward eating all alone*
* in the classroom.*
**[02:20] Hitori**
* And once I become a popular guitarist,*
* I'll go on Oto-Station and say...*
**[02:26] Guitar Man**
What were you like in high school?
**[02:29] Hitori**
I didn't have any friends back then.
**[02:31] Hitori**
I often ate lunch in a dark corner
filled with desks and janitorial supplies.
**[02:36] Hitori**
* I can awe people with how much*
* I've changed! Y'know how it is...*
**[02:41] Girl Student A**
Karaoke was so much fun the other day!
**[02:42] Hitori**
People!
**[02:43] Girl Student B**
Kita-chan's such a great singer.
**[02:45] Girl Student A**
I heard she played guitar in a band before she quit.
***SIGN*** Kids, don't try this at home!
**[02:49] Girl Student B**
Wow! Now that's musical talent!
**[02:49] Hitori**
*Band?*
**[02:50] Hitori**
* Come to think of it, Nijika-chan was talking*
* about wanting a new guitar-slash-vocalist...*
**[02:54] Hitori**
* Since my cold kept me from*
* working for a few days,*
**[02:57] Hitori**
* I must find a guitar-slash-vocalist*
* to prove my commitment to Kessoku Band!*

Heya!
**[03:08] Girl Student A**
I'm super sorry, but I have
a huge favor to ask...
**[03:09] Hitori**
*What kind of girl is she?*
**[03:11] Kita**
What is it?
**[03:14] Girl Student A**
Would you mind pitching in at

K-Kita-san?!
**[06:39] Hitori**
How long have you...
**[06:40] Kita**
I got so worried when you ran off like that,
**[06:42] Kita**
but that was incredible!
**[06:44] Kita**
You're amazing at guitar, Gotoh-san!
**[06:47] Kita**
That song you were playing
had me totally enraptured!
**[06:49] Hitori**
* She's saying nice things about me!*
* What a nice person!*
**[06:52] Kita**
Are you in a band?

Oh, and you were trying to talk

**[07:05] Hitori**
*Th-This is my chance to invite her!*
**[07:07] Hitori**
W-Well, our band is actually
looking for a guitar-slash-vocalist,
**[07:10] Hitori**
and I heard you played guitar, so...
**[07:12] Kita**
Oh, so that's why.
**[07:14] Hitori**
*H-Huh?*
**[07:15] Kita**
I'm sorry, Gotoh-san.
**[07:17] Kita**
I can't join your band.
**[07:19] Hitori**
O-Oh, but...
**[07:21] Hitori**
I'm kind of a nerd, but the others are cool!
**[07:24] Kita**
Oh, it's not a problem with you or anything.
**[07:26] Hitori**
They're holding a barbecue next weekend!
**[07:26] Nijika/Ryo**
Meat!
**[07:28] Hitori**
They host a sports meet every six months!
**[07:30] Hitori**
They party in limousines after every gig!
**[07:30] Nijika/Ryo**
This is the life!
**[07:32] Hitori**
They do so much cool stuff!
**[07:34] Kita**
I don't want a band that parties *that* hard...
**[07:36] Hitori**
And... And...
**[07:39] Kita**
The truth is, I can't
actually play guitar at all.
**[07:43] Kita**
I was in another band not long ago.
**[07:45] Kita**
I lied when I joined because
I wanted to get close to my senpai.
**[07:49] Kita**
But the whole thing was just
beyond me, so I ran away.
**[07:53] Hitori**
Beyond you?
**[07:54] Kita**
Yeah.
**[07:57] Kita**
There's more to playing than just
this strum-strum stuff, right?
**[08:00] Kita**
I'd figured this wooden stick part
was just for decoration!
**[08:04] Kita**
It's way too hard for someone
to learn on their own.
**[08:08] Kita**
"Major chords"? "Minor"?
What is this, baseball?
**[08:11] Hitori**
* Her non-comprehension*
* is on a whole other level!*
**[08:13] Kita**
Did someone teach you to play, Gotoh-san?
**[08:16] Hitori**
N-No, I mostly taught myself...
**[08:18] Kita**
What?! Really? That's awesome!
**[08:20] Hitori**
It's not *that* great...
**[08:23] Kita**
I know! Will you teach me to play, Gotoh-san?
**[08:26] Kita**
You can be my teacher!
**[08:28] Kita**
You're so brilliant, I just know
you'll get me through it!
**[08:32] Hitori**
Oh, shucks...
**[08:35] Kita**
I want to learn to play properly,
**[08:37] Kita**
go back to my old band, and apologize!
**[08:39] Kita**
So, when can you teach me?
**[08:41] Kita**
After class, maybe?
**[08:42] Hitori**
I-I've got a job at a club after class...
**[08:46] Kita**
Then after work, maybe?!
**[08:49] Kita**
Is there a studio next door?
We can do it there!
**[08:52] Hitori**
Oh... Oh...
**[08:54] Hitori**
V-Very well.
**[08:56] Kita**
Really? Thanks!
**[08:56] Hitori**
*Why am I so stupid?! Say no, girl!*
**[08:59] Kita**
Can we start right away?
**[09:00] Hitori**
C-Certainly...
**[09:01] Hitori**
*Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!*
**[09:03] Hitori**
* I've gotta get the girls*
* to act like party people!*
**[09:10] Nijika**
It's from Bocchi-chan.
**[09:11] Hitori**
*I'm sorry!*
**[09:12] Hitori**
* Please come to work today blaring EDM and*

**[09:19] Nijika**
What in the world?
**[09:21] Ryo**
Beats me.
**[09:24] Kita**
Oh... You work in Shimo-Kitazawa?
**[09:27] Hitori**
Y-You've been?
**[09:29] Kita**
My last band was in Shimo-Kita,
**[09:32] Kita**
and its members lived in the area, so...
**[09:35] Hitori**
R-Really?
**[09:37] Kita**
Hang on!
**[09:38] Kita**
You can't walk behind me!
I don't know the way!
**[09:41] Hitori**
I'm sorry. I'm still not
used to being here...
**[09:44] Hitori**
I'm so embarrassed!
**[09:45] Kita**
I'm the one embarrassed here!
**[09:48] Hitori**
W-We're almost there.
**[09:50] Hitori**
It's a place called Starry.
**[09:52] Hitori**
Nijika-chan and Ryo-san
will already be there...
**[09:57] Kita**
I'm sorry. I can't go.
**[10:00] Hitori**
How come?
**[10:01] Kita**
I'm sorry.
**[10:02] Kita**
I can't tell you why,
but that's the one place I can't go!
**[10:04] Kita**
And you can never tell those people I was h—
**[10:06] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan!
**[10:08] Nijika**
Your instructions were super weird,
but I bought energy drinks like you asked!
**[10:13] Nijika**
The runaway guitarist!
**[10:20] Hitori**
Runaway... guitarist?
**[10:22] Nijika**
Kita-chan, what are you doing here?
**[10:24] Kita**
W-W-Well, I...
**[10:27] Ryo**
Eh?
**[10:32] Kita**
Forgive my prior discourtesy!
I'll do anything to make up for it!
**[10:35] Kita**
I give you permission to rough me up good!
**[10:38] Nijika**
Shh! You're gonna give people the wrong idea!
**[10:41] Nijika**
What?
**[10:42] Nijika**
So you couldn't play guitar, Kita-chan?
**[10:45] Kita**
Nope.
**[10:46] Nijika**
And that's why you always ditched practice?
**[10:50] Kita**
Yeah...
**[10:51] Hitori**
*Poor Kita-san seems so uncomfortable...*
**[10:53] Hitori**
* I-If only I could think of*
* something nice to say.*
**[10:55] Ryo**
We were worried when we didn't hear from you.
**[10:58] Hitori**
*Ryo-san, so smooth!*
**[10:58] Kita**
Senpai!
**[11:01] Ryo**
I assumed you were dead, so I've been
lighting incense for you every day.
**[11:05] Ryo**
RIP.
**[11:05] Nijika**
That's a pretty wild assumption...
**[11:07] Kita**
Um... You aren't angry?
**[11:10] Nijika**
I sorta blame ourselves
for not catching on sooner.
**[11:13] Nijika**
Besides...
**[11:14] Nijika**
We managed to work it out anyway!
**[11:17] Kita**
S-Still, I feel too awful!
**[11:20] Kita**
Please, let me make it up to you!
**[11:22] Nijika**
I'm not sure how...
**[11:24] Seika**
How about you help out today at the club?
**[11:27] Seika**
It's gonna be a busy night.
**[11:29] Kita**
Th-That can't be enough...
**[11:31] Nijika**
No, that'd be a huge help!
**[11:33] Nijika**
Please join us!
**[11:34] Kita**
If you'd like...
**[11:35] Hitori**
*I'm so glad they worked it out...*
**[11:39] Seika**
So, go over there and get changed.
**[11:42] Kita**
Changed?
**[11:50] Hitori**
Why does Manager have that outfit?
**[11:53] Seika**
She's pretty darn good for a fill-in worker.
**[11:56] Nijika**
Yeah, Kita-chan knows what she's doing!
**[11:58] Hitori**
Sh-She really does!
**[12:00] Ryo**
She'll give me extra time to slack off.
**[12:04] Seika**
I'll take it out of your pay.
**[12:08] PA**
You smell good, Kita-san.
**[12:10] Kita**
Thank you so much!
**[12:12] Kita**
Maybe it's the shampoo? It's my favorite!
**[12:12] Hitori**
*Sh-She's never said* my *name before!*
**[12:15] Nijika**
You're pretty outgoing,
Kita-chan. Wanna try reception?
**[12:18] Nijika**
I'll teach you!
**[12:19] Kita**
Okay!
**[12:19] Hitori**
*And the job they've never trusted me with!*

**[12:28] Nijika**
Say, not bad at all!
**[12:30] Kita**
I love interacting with people!
**[12:33] Nijika**
Ryo always handles reception,
**[12:35] Nijika**
but her dead eyes are kind of a problem...
**[12:37] Nijika**
And her poker face can be scary.
**[12:38] Kita**
Ryo-senpai looks fine just the way she is!

Here's your cola!
**[14:20] Hitori**
Um, so the senpai you
wanted to get closer to...
**[14:25] Kita**
Yeah.
**[14:26] Kita**
It's Ryo-senpai.
**[14:27] Ryo**
Here ya go.
**[14:29] Kita**
Unlike you, I have very impure motives.
**[14:37] Kita**
I saw Senpai playing on the street,
**[14:40] Kita**
and fell head-over-heels for her.
**[14:44] Hitori**
*Ryo-san was in another band, too?*
**[14:47] Kita**
Her above-it-all attitude, her unisex look...
**[14:51] Kita**
It all makes me squee!
**[14:53] Hitori**
*"Squee"?*
**[14:54] Kita**
And she just looks so *right*
holding an instrument!
**[14:57] Hitori**
Oh, I know what you mean!
**[14:59] Hitori**
Wh-When I hold mine, it looks more
like the instrument's holding me.
**[15:02] Kita**
Right? You end up like
an appendage to the instrument.
**[15:05] Kita**
I wonder how that happens?
**[15:06] Hitori**
* It's like we're best*
* buddies all of a sudden...*
**[15:07] Kita**
That's one thing about Ryo-senpai that—
**[15:08] Customer**
Um, can I get a cassis orange?
**[15:10] Kita**
Right! Coming right up!
**[15:12] Hitori**
* Bye-bye, buddies!*
* I'll know my place next time...*
**[15:18] Kita**
After I heard her play,
**[15:19] Kita**
I followed Ryo-san's activities for a while,
**[15:22] Kita**
and she dropped out of her
last band pretty suddenly.
**[15:24] Hitori**
H-Huh...
**[15:25] Kita**
Then I found out she was
recruiting for Kessoku Band,
**[15:28] Kita**
and without thinking, I said I'd do it.
**[15:30] Hitori**
*S-Such initiative! Extroversion abounds!*
**[15:33] Kita**
A band is like your second family, you know?
**[15:36] Hitori**
Family?
**[15:38] Kita**
Yeah, you spend more time with them
than with your actual family,
**[15:41] Kita**
and you're all chasing the same dream...
**[15:43] Kita**
It's a mysterious relationship,
closer than friends or significant others.
**[15:47] Kita**
I've never done clubs or anything similar,
**[15:49] Kita**
so I've always wanted to be part of that.
**[15:51] Hitori**
*I get you.*
**[15:53] Hitori**
*I always wanted it too...*
**[15:55] Kita**
Yes... I wanted to join Kessoku Band
and become Senpai's girl!
**[16:00] Kita**
So much deeper and more
intimate than friendship!
**[16:02] Hitori**
*Wait. Is Kita-san kind of not-okay?*
**[16:07] Kita**
But that's all the more reason
**[16:09] Kita**
I can't join the band now.
**[16:14] Kita**
I flaked out once already.
I'm too irresponsible.
**[16:17] Kita**
I don't deserve to be in the band.

Okay, good work, all. Feel free to head home.
**[16:30] Nijika Ryo & Kita**
Thanks for having us!
**[16:32] Hitori**
Thank you for having us...
**[16:38] Kita**
Thanks for everything today.
**[16:40] Kita**
Good luck with your band!
**[16:42] Kita**
I'll keep rooting for you!
**[16:44] Kita**
Goodbye!
**[16:45] Hitori**
H-Hey...
**[16:53] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan?!
**[17:00] Kita**
Are you all right, Gotoh-san?
**[17:03] Kita**
You're not still worried about me, are you?
**[17:06] Kita**
I'm sorry.
**[17:07] Kita**
Like I said before,
I can't join Kessoku Band.
**[17:11] Kita**
I can't play guitar,
and I already flaked out once...
**[17:15] Hitori**
I... I... I...
**[17:19] Hitori**
I also ran away before the concert.
**[17:22] Hitori**
I hid in a trash can, and...
**[17:24] Hitori**
A-A-And also...
**[17:25] Nijika**
Let's get you up, Bocchi-chan.
**[17:27] Nijika**
One, two...
**[17:28] Nijika**
Here we go!
**[17:30] Hitori**
K-Kita-san, your left hand...
**[17:33] Hitori**
Y-You had calluses on your fingertips.
**[17:36] Hitori**
I... I th-think...
**[17:39] Ryo**
You'd have to be practicing
the guitar pretty hard for that.
**[17:41] Hitori**
Y-Yeah!
**[17:46] Nijika**
Kita-chan, we'd love to have you
rocking out with us in Kessoku Band!
**[17:50] Kita**
Why would you let me...
**[17:53] Nijika**
Because if you hadn't flaked out,
we'd never have met Bocchi-chan!
**[17:57] Hitori**
Y-Yeah!
**[18:02] Nijika**
I've always wanted to have a band,
**[18:05] Nijika**
so I get how it feels intimidating
and aspirational at the same time.
**[18:10] Hitori**
S-So do I!
**[18:13] Hitori**
S-Sorry. That came out
louder than I expected.
**[18:16] Nijika**
You'd be happy to have her too, right, Ryo?
**[18:19] Ryo**
I'll only have to pay one-quarter
of the studio and quota fees.
**[18:21] Nijika**
Be a little less honest, would you?
**[18:24] Kita**
I can be part of Senpai's quota!
**[18:27] Nijika**
So much for that healthy
moving-on thing, I guess...
**[18:31] Kita**
But I still can't play the guitar...
**[18:34] Nijika**
That's okay!
**[18:35] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan will teach you!
**[18:37] Hitori**
Eh?
**[18:38] Ryo**
Yeah, yeah.
**[18:40] Hitori**
Ehh?
**[18:40] Kita**
You will?
**[18:42] Hitori**
Y-Yes!
**[18:43] Hitori**
*I can't exactly turn her down now!*
**[18:52] Kita**
Thank you.
**[18:54] Kita**
I'll work really hard to
play guitar in Kessoku Band!
**[19:03] Kita**
Oh, but you should probably give up
that party lifestyle of yours...
**[19:07] Kita**
You're dancing like mad
every night, right?
**[19:09] Nijika**
Where'd you hear that?!
**[19:11] Hitori**
*I'm glad it's all mended.*
**[19:14] Hitori**
* It came out like a mess, but I'm glad*
* I stopped Kita-san from leaving.*
**[19:19] Hitori**
*I worked really hard!*
**[19:23] Hitori**
Well, I gotta head out now...
**[19:25] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, don't go!
**[19:27] Nijika**
You're today's MVP!
**[19:31] Ryo**
You're the reason we're back together.
**[19:33] Kita**
Thank you, Gotoh-san!
***SIGN*** Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me Praise me
**[19:35] Hitori**
Gosh, well, it was nothing,
really, honestly...
**[19:40] Nijika**
It obviously wasn't nothing for you.
**[19:42] Kita**
Gotoh-san wears her heart on her sleeve.
**[19:45] Kita**
But I practiced for so long, and yet
I never really learned how to play guitar.
**[19:49] Kita**
It just made this quiet 'bum-bum' sound.
**[19:51] Hitori**
Y-You're sure it wasn't a bass?
**[19:54] Kita**
Hey, I'm not *that* ignorant!
**[19:56] Kita**
A bass has four strings, right?
**[20:00] Kita**
See? It's got the full six strings!
**[20:03] Hitori**
S-Some do have six strings...
**[20:06] Ryo**
That's a six-string bass.
**[20:19] Hitori**
K-Kita-san!
**[20:20] Kita**
It cost me two years'
advance allowance from my dad,
**[20:22] Kita**
not to mention my New Year's money...
**[20:24] Nijika**
Kita-chan!
**[20:27] Hitori**
* And so, Kessoku Band officially*
* had all their members.*
**[20:35] Kita**
No more!
**[20:38] Kita**
I hereby quit the guitar!
**[20:40] Hitori**
*What? Are we breaking up already?*
**[20:43] Kita**
Is this one defective too?
**[20:45] Kita**
Did I get another bass?
**[20:46] Hitori**
N-No, that's definitely a guitar...
**[20:49] Kita**
I'm sorry I whine so much.
**[20:52] Kita**
I know you're giving up your time after
class and during lunch to teach me...
**[20:56] Hitori**
H-Hey, it's not...
**[20:57] Kita**
With Ryo-senpai lending me this guitar,
and everyone helping... I have to do my best.
**[21:03] Hitori**
B-But I really am glad... that Ryo-san
b-bought that bass off of you...
**[21:09] Kita**
Yeah.
**[21:09] Kita**
But when she gave me the money...
**[21:13] (Flashback) Ryo**
This is the last of my money,
so I'll be eating weeds from now on.
**[21:18] Kita**
That was a joke, right?
**[21:20] Hitori**
*She might have been serious!*
**[21:22] Kita**
Oh, come on...
**[21:24] Kita**
This one's so hard to hold.
**[21:26] Kita**
The F chord is too hard!
**[21:30] Hitori**
*That takes me back.*
**[21:32] Hitori**
*I was this way at the start, too.*
**[21:55] Kita**
Ryo-senpai! Hello...
**[21:58] Ryo**
You guys're here early.
**[21:59] Hitori**
*Sh-She really is eating weeds!*
**[22:02] Kita**
Senpai's so wild!

**[00:18] Kita**
I'm just awful.
**[00:20] Hitori**
Oh... But you at least managed
to play it to the en—
**[00:22] Kita**
About that, though!
**[00:24] Hitori**
Y-Yes?
**[00:25] Kita**
I just realized, I'm supposed
to do vocals too, right?
**[00:28] Kita**
But I can't sing while I'm focusing
all my motor control on the guitar.
**[00:32] Hitori**
I... I see...
**[00:34] Kita**
I was thinking it might be better
for the band if I just sang...
**[00:38] Kita**
But then I wouldn't have anything
to do during interludes,
**[00:40] Kita**
and I'd probably start fidgeting on stage...
**[00:42] Kita**
Oh, um... Yeah!
**[00:44] Kita**
So...
**[00:47] Kita**
I guess I'd better work harder!
**[00:48] Kita**
*Kit-aura!*

**[00:52] Hitori**
N-Nothing.
**[00:53] Hitori**

**[00:56] Kita**
But are you sure it's all right
for me to sing?
**[01:00] Kita**
I know! You should sing with me!
**[01:03] Hitori**
N-N-Not happening!
**[01:06] Kita**
B-But...
**[01:06] Hitori**
N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N...
**[01:08] Kita**
I'm sorry. Is it that unpleasant a thought?
**[01:10] Ryo**
Hey, nice one.
**[01:12] Ryo**
Is that some new guitar showmanship move?
**[01:14] Kita**
Senpai!
**[01:15] Kita**
Do you like it?
**[01:16] Kita**
Then I'll practice it too!
**[01:18] Nijika**
You don't need to practice that.
**[01:20] Nijika**
Ryo's here, so let's meet up at the club!
**[01:23] Kita**
Right!
**[01:25] Nijika**
We will now begin the band meeting!
**[01:28] Nijika**
Round of applause!
**[01:32] Nijika**
Now, here's today's topic!
**[01:35] Nijika**
The question:
***SIGN*** How can we be
more band-like?
**[01:36] Nijika**
How can we be more band-like?
**[01:40] Hitori & Kita**
*It's so half-assed!*
***SIGN*** BOCCHI THE ROCK!
***SIGN*** #04 Jumping Girl(s)
***SIGN*** How can we be
more band-like?
**[03:15] Nijika**
Now that we've got a full member lineup,
**[03:17] Nijika**
I figured the first order of business
was to get us acting more band-like!
**[03:20] Hitori**
I... I see!
**[03:22] Nijika**
I know practice is crucial,
**[03:25] Nijika**
but there's gotta be more to us than that!
**[03:27] Nijika**
I think we should talk
about all kinds of stuff!
**[03:30] Hitori**
* Is she trying to give Kita-san*
* a break from all her practice?*
**[03:35] Nijika**
One tactic is to nail the
superficial stuff first!
**[03:37] Kita**
Oh, that totally works!
**[03:39] Kita**
Like if you start imitating a new popular
make-up technique and end up looking great!
**[03:42] Nijika**
Exactly!
**[03:43] Hitori**
* It's like they're speaking*
* a foreign language...*
**[03:45] Nijika**
And with that in mind...
**[03:47] Nijika**
I made us band merch!
**[03:49] Hitori**
* That's a more superficial*
* starting point than I expected!*
**[03:51] Kita**
Did you just put a zip tie around your wrist?
**[03:54] Nijika**
Cute, huh? They come in all colors!
**[04:02] Ryo**
We'll sell them for 500 yen a piece.
**[04:03] Hitori**
*What a ripoff!*
**[04:04] Ryo**
650 if they're signed.
**[04:06] Kita**
What a steal! I'll take one!
**[04:08] Hitori**
* Won't that just be circulating*
* money within the band?*
**[04:10] Nijika**
Anyone else with ideas
for becoming more band-like?
**[04:13] Kita**
I can set us up an Isstagram and run it!
**[04:16] Nijika**
Great idea!
**[04:17] Nijika**
I hereby appoint you
Minister of Social Media!
**[04:19] Kita**
And I'll post every day when the time comes!
**[04:22] Nijika**
And...
**[04:23] Nijika**
What about forming a fan club?
**[04:24] Hitori**
*That's awfully hasty!*
**[04:25] Ryo**
10,000 yen annual membership fee.
**[04:27] Hitori**
*That's awfully expensive!*
**[04:28] Ryo**
Membership perks include meet-and-greets
**[04:30] Ryo**
and a once-a-year takoyaki party with the band.
**[04:34] Ryo**
The fans bring the ingredients.
**[04:35] Kita**
What a steal! I'll join!
**[04:36] Nijika**
Kita-chan, you're already in the band.
**[04:38] Kita**
What about you, Gotoh-san?
**[04:40] Kita**
Any ideas?
**[04:42] Hitori**
*What do I do? I wasn't even thinking!*
**[04:44] Hitori**
W-Well...
**[04:45] Hitori**
*H-Her eyes are so sparkly!*
**[04:48] Hitori**
*I feel the burden of expectation!*
**[04:49] Hitori**
Um... Um...
**[04:51] Hitori**
*I-If I don't say something, I... I...*

Oh, Bocchi-chan can sit this one out.
**[04:59] ---**
She has a more important job:
writing lyrics for our original song!
**[05:06] ---**
We settled on it before, remember?
**[05:07] ---**
Ryo would write the music,
and you'd write the lyrics!
**[05:10] (Flashback) Nijika**
If you've got off-limits words,
Bocchi-chan, you should write the lyrics!
**[05:13] (Flashback) Nijika**
write the lyrics!
**[05:14] (Flashback) Nijika**
write the lyrics!
**[05:15] (Flashback) Nijika**
write the lyrics!
**[05:17] Kita**
Wow! I can't wait to hear
your song, Ryo-senpai.
**[05:20] Kita**
Have you written it already?
**[05:21] Ryo**
No.
**[05:22] Ryo**
I'll do it once I get inspiration.
**[05:24] Kita**
I just can't wait!
**[05:26] Nijika**
Go for it, Ryo!
**[05:27] Nijika**
And Minister of Lyrics!
**[05:29] Hitori**
R-Right...
**[05:30] Kita**
Gotoh-san, it's so cool that
you took on such a tough job!
**[05:33] Hitori**
C-Cool?!
**[05:35] Hitori**
W-Well, I can write lyrics
like nobody's business!
**[05:37] Hitori**
It's the super-easiest thing ever!
**[05:39] Kita**
You get carried away so easily, Gotoh-san.
**[05:43] Hitori**
I'm gonna write the most band-like lyrics
and guarantee us a huge hit!
**[05:48] Ryo**

**[08:25] Kita**
Gotoh-san?
**[08:26] Nijika**
What's the matter now?
**[08:27] Hitori**
I-Isn't this an intervention
where you tear into me
***SIGN*** I failed to write the lyrics I was assigned.
**[08:31] Hitori**
for failing to write lyrics
despite all the bragging I did?
**[08:33] Nijika**
That's perverse! No way!
**[08:35] Hitori**
Then why did you call us here?
**[08:38] Nijika**
I didn't think of it until now,
**[08:40] Nijika**
but there's one other really
band-like thing we can do!
**[08:45] Nijika**
Take ProPhos!
**[08:49] Kita**
Promotional photos, she means.
**[08:52] Nijika**
Since Bocchi-chan isn't in
Kessoku Band's current ProPho.
**[08:56] Hitori**
C-Current?
**[08:58] Ryo**
Want to see?
**[08:59] Ryo**
We took it for our last concert.
**[09:03] Nijika**
I mean, since Kita-chan ditched us...
**[09:05] Kita**
I'm sorry!
**[09:06] Hitori**
*I've never seen such an awful ProPho.*
**[09:09] Nijika**
So, because it's nice out today
and none of us have plans,
**[09:13] Nijika**
I figured we'd take a few ProPhos!
**[09:15] Hitori**
O-Outside?!
**[09:17] Nijika**
We don't have the money
to rent a studio, so...
**[09:20] Hitori**
* Taking public pictures in Shimo-Kita*
* is too much to ask of a nerd like me!*
**[09:25] Nijika**
We could do it in Starry
instead if you prefer,
**[09:28] Nijika**
but a ProPho is important
for conveying a band's direction
**[09:31] Nijika**
and the unique qualities of its members.
**[09:34] Kita**
So we really need to give it
everything we have?
**[09:36] Nijika**
Precisely!
**[09:37] Nijika**
We need something that'll have impact,
**[09:40] Nijika**
whether it's in a club ad online,
a flyer, or a magazine!
**[09:44] Ryo**
What she said.
**[09:46] Hitori**
V-Very well.
**[09:47] Hitori**
I resign myself to this fate.
**[09:48] Kita**
Resign yourself?
**[09:49] Nijika**
I declare this ProPho-scouting journey on!
**[09:52] Nijika**
Let's la go!
**[09:54] Kita**
Yeah!
**[09:54] Hitori**
Yeah...
**[10:06] Nijika**
Stairs...
**[10:07] Nijika**
A fence...
**[10:08] Nijika**
With plants...
**[10:09] Nijika**
At the park...
**[10:11] Nijika**
I think we've covered all the bases
for broke band ProPhos...
**[10:15] Nijika**
Oh, and an evocative wall!
***SIGN*** Milkus Water
**[10:20] Kita**
I wish we'd brought our instruments.
**[10:23] Hitori**
G-Good point...
**[10:25] Hitori**
Having our instruments
might make us look cooler.
**[10:28] Nijika**
For you guys, maybe.
**[10:30] Nijika**
Only guitarists and bassists
look cool that way.
**[10:32] Nijika**
What about the poor drummer?
**[10:35] Nijika**
I'm stuck just holding up my drumsticks!
**[10:38] Ryo**
But that's cute.
**[10:38] Nijika**
Then let's swap instruments, just for today!
**[10:40] Ryo**
Nah, that's lame.
**[10:48] Kita**
What about here?
**[10:50] Kita**
Isn't it nice?
**[10:52] Kita**
With all these posters up, it has
a real "Shimo-Kitazawa" vibe!
**[10:56] Ryo**
That used to be a CD shop I went to a lot.
**[10:59] Kita**
Huh?
**[11:00] Nijika**
Lots of record shops and club venues
closing these days, yeah.
**[11:05] Ryo**
Shops that have been there for decades,
disappearing one by one...
**[11:09] Kita**
I-I'm really sorry...
**[11:12] Nijika**
Ryo, you were just celebrating
that new book store.
**[11:15] Ryo**
Yeah. I love B&C.
**[11:17] Nijika**
Kita-chan, don't let Ryo jerk you around.
**[11:20] Nijika**
Ninety percent of the things she says
are more or less just for vibes.
**[11:24] Kita**
But Senpai can jerk me around
any time she wants!
**[11:31] Nijika**
Um?
**[11:32] Nijika**
Oh, it's just Bocchi-chan.
**[11:34] Hitori**
U-Um...
**[11:35] Hitori**
I-I thought I saw a
n-nice-looking wall over there...
**[11:39] Nijika**
Hey, great work!
**[11:42] Nijika**
Taking it now!
**[11:47] Nijika**
We're definitely capturing everyone's
personalities, but it's not really band-like.
**[11:51] Nijika**
Isn't there a way to really
make it scream "band"?
**[11:54] Ryo**
As I am the quintessential musician,
**[11:56] Ryo**
you need only mimic my expression.
**[11:58] Nijika**
I'd love to know where you
get all that confidence...
**[12:01] Kita**
But we can't go wrong doing what Senpai says!
**[12:04] Kita**
Right, Gotoh-san?
**[12:06] Hitori**
Y-Yes...
**[12:07] Nijika**
A pair of yes-men, huh?
**[12:08] Nijika**
Fine, we'll do it.
**[12:12] Nijika**
Looks like we're at a funeral.
**[12:13] Hitori**
Yeah...
**[12:15] Nijika**
But Kita-chan looks cute in any pic we take!
**[12:18] Kita**
Aw, no I don't!
**[12:20] Nijika**
Sure you do!
**[12:22] Nijika**
It's almost like you know what you're doing.
**[12:24] Kita**
Oh, I guess it's because I upload pics
to Issta all the time!
**[12:28] Kita**
See?
**[12:30] Nijika**
That's our Minister of Social Media!
**[12:34] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan's dying!
**[12:36] Kita**
What's wrong, Gotoh-san? Stay with us!
**[12:39] Kita**
Oh, no! She's flopping around like a fish!
**[12:40] Hitori**
* I've never taken pictures*
* with friends before.*
**[12:41] Kita**
What do I do? Please, wake up!
**[12:44] Hitori**
*Since... I never* had *friends before.*
**[12:47] Hitori**
* The only pictures I've taken*
* that weren't with family*
**[12:49] Hitori**
*were class pictures.*
**[12:52] Hitori**
* With those as my only proof of existence*
* for the past fifteen years...*
**[12:55] Nijika**
Look at Bocchi-chan's weird face!
**[12:57] Hitori**
* I wonder if there are any other*
* high school girls like me still around?*
**[13:01] Hitori**
* Perhaps I've become a rare species,*
* on par with the tsuchinoko?*
**[13:05] Hitori**
I am... I am the tsuchinoko
of Shimo-Kitazawa.
**[13:08] Kita**
Gotoh-san's saying the strangest things!
**[13:10] Nijika**
Nah, this is normal for her.
**[13:10] Hitori**
Noko-noko. Noko-noko.
**[13:12] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, why don't you
start your own Isstagram?
**[13:15] Nijika**
What do you think, Minister?
**[13:17] Kita**
Totally!
**[13:18] Kita**
Let's become friends!
**[13:20] Kita**
If we're going to be a band,
**[13:21] Kita**
we should really have
individual member accounts!
**[13:25] Kita**
Gotoh-san?!
**[13:27] Hitori**
*If I were to get an account...*
**[13:30] Hitori**
* Someone with self-esteem so bad*
* she's already trying to form a band*
**[13:33] Hitori**
* to get popular despite*
* total social ineptitude...*
**[13:37] Hitori**
* If s-someone like me were to*
* start an account like that...*
**[13:41] Hitori**
*You would witness the birth of...*
**[13:48] Hitori**
*The attention-whore monster!*
**[13:51] Hitori**
Like my posts!
**[13:54] Hitori**
Like my posts!
**[13:59] Hitori**
*My video site is all I need.*
**[14:02] Kita**
Gotoh-san!
**[14:04] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan!
**[14:06] Kita**
We won't push you to get on social media anymore!
Please come back to us!
**[14:11] Nijika**
You okay?
**[14:13] Hitori**
Y-Yes...
**[14:15] Nijika**
Okay, back to the ProPhos!
**[14:19] Nijika**
Nothing's really hitting the spot...
**[14:22] Kita**
Hey, what about a jump pic?
**[14:24] Hitori**
Jump pic?
**[14:25] Kita**
It's really photogenic, and it could
bring out everyone's personality!
**[14:28] Nijika**
Great idea! You're a genius, Kita-chan!
**[14:31] Ryo**
A wise man once said,
**[14:32] Ryo**
any anime where they jump in
the OP is a god-tier anime.
**[14:36] Ryo**
Would jumping in our ProPho
thus make us a god-tier band?
**[14:39] Hitori**
*Where is she getting that from?*
**[14:40] Nijika**
I'm not sure I followed your logic there...
**[14:42] Nijika**
But let's give it a try!
**[14:46] Nijika**
Five, four, three,
**[14:47] Hitori**
* I c-can't even remember*
* the last time I jumped!*
**[14:49] Nijika**
two, one!
**[14:51] Ryo**
Oh, I see Bocchi's undies.
**[14:53] Nijika**
Wow, that's one hell of a picture!
**[14:56] Hitori**
I'm sorry for putting something
so worthless in the picture.
**[14:58] Hitori**
Please delete it.
**[14:59] Nijika**
I was hoping for a cuter reaction there...
**[15:02] Hitori**
If I can't even jump properly, I'm...
**[15:05] Nijika**
Okay, let's try one more!
**[15:09] Nijika**
Awesome! It's got the band feel
and the seishun thing going!
**[15:12] Kita**
Do you think I could get
a copy of that picture?
**[15:15] Hitori**
M-Me too!
**[15:16] Nijika**
Yeah, we're feeling band-like now!
**[15:19] Nijika**
I feel like we're one step closer
to becoming a popular band!
**[15:22] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[15:23] Kita**
Kessoku Band is getting started for real!
**[15:26] Nijika**
Okay!
**[15:27] Nijika**
We'll have our concert in summer (TBD),
**[15:29] Nijika**
our demo CD sale (TBD),
**[15:31] Nijika**
our first album release in winter (TBD),
**[15:33] Nijika**
and become Shimo-Kitazawa's own
good vibes-iest vibes-band!
**[15:37] Kita**
Sounds like there's a lot
still to be decided!
**[15:40] Nijika**
Good point!
**[15:41] Nijika**
We don't even have a song yet!
**[15:44] Hitori**
*I t-totally forgot about the lyrics!*
**[15:47] Nijika**
Of course, we've got Ryo and
Bocchi-chan on the case, so...
**[15:50] Nijika**
Hey, where's Ryo?
**[15:51] Kita**
She must have disappeared.
**[15:53] Nijika**
What a total free spirit!
**[15:56] Nijika**
Anyway, thanks for coming today!
**[15:57] Nijika**
Dismissed!

Are you personally satisfied
with these lyrics, Bocchi?

really "hit band"-like...

You say as you give up on moving forward
On a road that seems to go on forever
It feels like you'll never arrive anywhere
And that's got you worried, doesn't it?
But hey now, listen up
Don't forget you're not alone, that we're all here
We're sending you this cheer just as your heart's about to break
Your dreams will come true
Don't give up until the very end!
Your dreams will come true
Believe in yourself the way you are
Believe in yourself and get walking again!
Glory awaits you ahead, I know it
For everyone around the world trying hard, Go for it!
**[18:22] Ryo**
Did I ever tell you?
**[18:23] Ryo**
I was in another band a long time ago.
**[18:27] Ryo**
Their lyrics were awkward,
but I liked how honest they were.
**[18:33] Ryo**
But, desperate for sales, they started
going in a more commercial direction.
**[18:37] Ryo**
I hated that. That's why I quit.
**[18:40] Ryo**
We had a little fight about it at the time.
**[18:46] Ryo**
And just as I was feeling sick
of the whole band thing...
**[18:52] (Flashback) Nijika**
Hey.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Nijika**
If you've got time,
will you play bass for me?
**[18:56] (Flashback) Ryo**
Why?
**[18:57] (Flashback) Nijika**
Because I love the way you play!
**[19:01] Ryo**
When Nijika said that to me, I decided
to give playing in a band another try.
**[19:06] Ryo**
Abandoning your uniqueness
is equivalent to dying.
**[19:11] Hitori**
Ryo-san?
**[19:13] Ryo**
So don't write generic lyrics
based on other concerns.
**[19:17] Ryo**
Write what *you* want to write.
**[19:22] Hitori**
B-But if I do that, I'll write bitter,
social-outcast lyrics—
**[19:25] Ryo**
But won't it be hilarious
if a normie sings that?
**[19:29] Kita**
*I spend my days cursing you losers!*
**[19:33] Ryo**
Bringing a wide variety of individuals
together into one sound...
**[19:37] Ryo**
That's the color that Kessoku Band will have.
**[19:41] Hitori**
*Ryo-san is actually a considerate person.*
**[19:45] Ryo**
Let's get out of here.
**[19:47] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[19:49] Hitori**
Oh, Ryo-san...
**[19:51] Hitori**
The check...
**[19:55] Ryo**
Sorry, I'm broke. Treat me?
**[19:57] Hitori**
Wh-What?
**[19:58] Hitori**
B-But you're the one who invited me...
**[20:01] Ryo**
I just couldn't take another
day of eating weeds.
**[20:03] Hitori**
You're still doing that?!
**[20:05] Ryo**
And this shop just opened,
and I wanted to eat here so bad...
**[20:09] Ryo**
Please, treat me?
**[20:11] Hitori**
*I t-take back what I said!*
**[20:14] Ryo**
I really am sorry.
I'll pay you back next month.
**[20:16] Hitori**
N-No need to rush...
**[20:19] Hitori**
U-Um...
**[20:21] Hitori**
I-I'm going to try my best!
**[20:25] Ryo**
Sure. Can't wait to see it.
**[20:43] Hitori**
U-Um...
**[20:46] Hitori**
I f-finished the lyrics...
**[20:49] Hitori**
H-Here.
**[20:51] Kita**
Gotoh-san, are you all right? You look tired.
**[20:53] Hitori**
I'm fine.
**[20:54] Hitori**
I've just been so focused on the lyrics,
**[20:58] Hitori**
I c-completely forgot to sleep...
**[20:59] Nijika**
Wow!
**[21:01] Nijika**
Let's have a look!
**[21:02] Nijika**
I can't wait to see the
fruits of your labors!
**[21:07] Hitori**
It m-might be... too much of a downer.
**[21:10] Ryo**
It certainly is a downer.
**[21:12] Kita**
Ryo-senpai!
**[21:14] Ryo**
But it's very Bocchi.
**[21:17] Ryo**
It might not connect with too many people,
**[21:19] Ryo**
but those it does, it'll hit deeply.
**[21:27] Kita**
Where'd this friendship come from?!
**[21:29] Nijika**
But these lyrics really are
super great, Bocchi-chan!
**[21:33] Kita**
I love this phrase here!
**[21:36] Ryo**
Same.
**[21:44] Hitori**
*I m-managed to figure out the lyrics.*

*I'm going to do my best...*

It’s time to take that step

Though there’s nothing certain about it
**[23:03] [SONG] ---**
It carries my childish heart into tomorrow
**[23:11] [SONG] ---**
It’s time to blast out the thoughts
rattling around in my brain
**[23:14] [SONG] ---**
And live, to its fullest, a life
**[23:17] [SONG] ---**
I’ve been taking advances on for so long

But I also love the days I spend
lying around, doing nothing

So I know I’m going to go see you

An audition?!

Well, why didn't she just

*They think she isn't good?*
**[08:06] Kita**
*Gotoh-san?*
**[08:08] Kita**
*At least when I heard her at school before,*
**[08:10] Kita**
* even I could tell as a novice*

**[08:13] Nijika**

**[08:14] Nijika**
Please just come out!
**[08:15] Hitori**
If I could remove myself
from your memory, I would...
**[08:15] Kita**

Y-You think?

Hmm... enthusiasm? Growth as a band?
**[08:38] Hitori**
Growth?
**[08:46] Kita**
Gotoh-san, thank you.
**[08:49] Kita**
For practicing with me.
**[08:51] Hitori**
I-It's nothing...
**[08:53] Kita**
But shouldn't we practice in a classroom
instead of this dreary place?
**[08:56] Hitori**
Oh, w-well, actually...
**[08:59] Hitori**
* How am I supposed to practice with*
* all those judging eyes asking,*
**[09:02] Hitori**
* "What's a cool girl like Kita*
* doing with that loser?!"*
**[09:05] Kita**
Oh, I get it!
**[09:07] Kita**
You don't want to bother people
by playing in a classroom!
**[09:10] Kita**
You're so considerate, Gotoh-san!
**[09:11] Hitori**
*She always assumes my motivations are pure!*
**[09:13] Hitori**
*What a nice person!*
**[09:16] Kita**
Hey, Gotoh-san...
**[09:18] Kita**
I've been thinking about it.
**[09:22] Kita**
I think we just need to show
**[09:24] Kita**
that we've grown as a band—
in other words, how hard we've been working.
**[09:27] Hitori**
R-Right.
**[09:28] Kita**
When the time comes, I want to
be able to say I gave it my all,
**[09:31] Kita**
and that I don't have any regrets.
**[09:34] Kita**
So please stick with me until
the day of the audition!
**[09:38] Hitori**
P-Please don't bow!
**[09:40] Hitori**
I-I'm the one who's h-happy to be here!
**[09:46] Nijika**
What's with the hair?
**[09:54] Nijika**
What are we doing?
**[09:55] Hitori**
"V-Visually showing our growth
as a band"... Apparently.
**[10:00] Nijika**
More of Ryo's mischief?
**[10:02] Ryo**
Drinking, smoking, dalliances with women,
**[10:04] Ryo**
and the mop-top hairstyle...
**[10:06] Ryo**
It all equals "band."
**[10:07] Nijika**
You're laying it on a little thick!
**[10:09] Nijika**
And no smoking or drinking
until you're twenty!
**[10:12] Kita**
Everyone say, "mop-top"!
**[10:15] Ryo**
Nijika.
**[10:16] Nijika**
Gotten it out of your system?
**[10:18] Ryo**
We've got an opening for
"uneven bangs that hide one eye
**[10:21] Ryo**
and a perpetually annoyed expression."
**[10:23] Nijika**
I'll pass, thanks.
**[10:25] Hitori**
U-Um...
**[10:27] Hitori**
I c-can't have dalliances with women.
**[10:30] Hitori**
I d-don't think any women
would want to dally with me...
**[10:33] Ryo**
Don't worry.
**[10:34] Ryo**
Stand in front of VillePan in Shimo-Kitazawa,
wearing your guitar and looking listless,
**[10:37] Ryo**
and someone'll come up to you
sooner or later.
**[10:40] Nijika**
Cut it out!
**[10:41] Nijika**
Stop misinforming her with
your subjective experience!
**[10:43] Nijika**
Let's do it right!
**[10:44] Ryo**
But growth isn't always visible.
**[10:46] Ryo**
And the criteria is quite vague.
**[10:48] Nijika**
No, it's very clear!
**[10:50] Nijika**
We just need to convince Sis to take us on!
**[10:53] Nijika**
Practice is the only way!
**[10:55] Nijika**
Now, get changed!
**[10:57] Nijika**
You too, Kita-chan!
**[10:58] Kita**
R-Right!
**[11:00] Hitori**
*I think I get what Ryo-san's saying, though.*
**[11:08] Hitori**
* It's hard to know exactly*
* what "growth" means.*
**[11:14] Kita**
Ow!
**[11:15] Hitori**
* I don't think it's quite the same*
* as effort put in.*
**[11:20] Hitori**
*My life as of late has been a whirlwind.*
**[11:24] Hitori**
*I started working.*
**[11:26] Hitori**
* I've gained the ability to occasionally*
* look others in the eye.*
**[11:31] Ryo**
Your finger's looking better.
**[11:35] Hitori**
* But I don't think that's the same thing*
* as growing as a band.*
**[11:40] Hitori**
* I've just evolved past the*
* water flea or euglena stage*
**[11:42] Hitori**
* and now stand at the starting line*
* of basic humanity.*
**[11:47] Hitori**
* I thought finally starting*
* the band I dreamed about*
**[11:49] Hitori**
*would be growth in itself, but...*
**[11:52] Hitori**
*I...*

**[12:52] Nijika**
I remember you saying...
**[12:55] Nijika**
you'd been wanting
to be part of a band,
**[12:59] Nijika**
but I never actually asked you what
kind of band you wanted to be in,
**[13:03] Nijika**
or what your reasons were
for playing in this band now.
**[13:08] Hitori**
Oh, well...
**[13:09] Hitori**
* Should I tell her I started because*
* I wanted people going crazy for me?*
**[13:14] Nijika**
Everyone's got their own reasons, right?
**[13:18] Nijika**
It's not like performing live
is the only way to go now.
**[13:21] Nijika**
You can always post videos and stuff nowadays
if what you want is to get your sound out there.

**[19:11] Hitori**
C-Can't I clean the floor first?
**[19:15] Seika**
*She really is good.*
**[19:18] Seika**
* But she's so inexperienced*
* playing with a team*
**[19:22] Seika**
* that her lack of self-confidence*
* holds her back.*
**[19:26] Seika**
*She could grow even more.*
**[19:36] Hitori**
*Huh?*
**[19:38] Hitori**
* Has the manager been making*
* eye contact with me?*
**[19:41] Seika**
*To give her confidence,*
**[19:43] Seika**
* she needs to know someone out there*
* acknowledges her talent.*
**[19:53] Hitori**
*She's looking at me! Is she mad?!*
**[19:58] Hitori**
*Because I let victory make me arrogant?*
**[20:01] Seika**
Hey, kid.
**[20:03] Seika**
I see you, okay?
**[20:08] Hitori**
*She's watching me!*
**[20:11] Kita**
Hey, Gotoh-san!
**[20:12] Kita**
Let's take our picture!
**[20:14] Hitori**
*It's over.*
**[20:17] PA**
Manager.
**[20:19] PA**
Admit it. You liked them from the start.
**[20:24] PA**
C'mon, you've been keeping a window open
in the concert schedule for them.
**[20:28] PA**
Why tease them like that?
**[20:30] Seika**
I wasn't teasing.
**[20:32] Seika**
I just didn't want to put them on
until they were ready.
**[20:36] Seika**
But while they're still
rough around the edges,
**[20:39] Seika**
I think they've got something.
**[20:41] Seika**
As her sister, I need to be hard on her
to make sure her band grows.
**[20:48] PA**
Is this what they call a sister complex?
**[20:50] Seika**
One more word about that, and you're fired.
**[20:53] PA**
Right.
**[20:54] Nijika**
Okay! Let's work even harder to level up
our band in the lead-up to the concert!
**[20:59] Hitori/Kita/Ryo**
Right!
**[21:01] Ryo**
Bocchi, I'm looking forward
to the new lyrics.
**[21:04] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[21:05] Kita**
Isn't this getting exciting, Gotoh-san?!
**[21:07] Hitori**
Y-Yes!
**[21:10] Hitori**
*Th-That's right! It's not over at all!*
**[21:13] Hitori**
* In fact, Kessoku Band's journey*
* is just getting started!*
**[21:17] Nijika**
Now, since the ticket quota is twenty at
1,500 yen each, that means we each sell five!
**[21:24] Hitori**
*Five-ticket quota...*
**[21:27] Hitori**
*Five-ticket quota?!*
**[21:29] Kita**
Five tickets, right?
**[21:30] Kita**
Got it!
**[21:31] Hitori**
*Five-ticket quota?!*

**[21:42] Hitori**
*Dog...*
**[21:43] Jimihen**

*I-I... I h-have one left over!*
**[21:54] Kita**
Gotoh-san is so happy, she's crying!
**[21:56] Nijika**
We have to put on a great concert together!
**[21:59] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[22:01] Hitori**
*I-It's really over this time.*
**[22:12] [SONG] ---**
I sleep, with big problems
weighing down on me
**[22:22] [SONG] ---**
Though you can't beat that feeling
of being loved, it's true
**[22:32] [SONG] ---**
When I awaken from cold dreams,
my body feels numb
**[22:41] [SONG] ---**
You shine so brightly,
it could make me a shadow
**[22:51] [SONG] ---**
It's time to take that step
**[22:55] [SONG] ---**
Though there's nothing certain about it
**[23:03] [SONG] ---**
It carries my childish heart into tomorrow
**[23:11] [SONG] ---**
It's time to blast out the thoughts
rattling around in my brain
**[23:14] [SONG] ---**
And live, to its fullest, a life
**[23:17] [SONG] ---**
I've been taking advances on for so long
**[23:22] [SONG] ---**
But I also love the days I spend
lying around, doing nothing
**[23:24] [SONG] ---**
So I know I'm going to go see you
**[23:27] [SONG] ---**
Before it all disappears some day

***SIGN*** Let's recap the show!!
**[00:01] Guitar Man**
Let's recap the show so far!
**[00:03] Guitar Man**
Hitori Gotoh is a slightly shy, socially
anxious, and isolated guitar enthusiast!
**[00:08] Hitori**
This guitar's my friend!
**[00:10] Hitori**
But some day, I might like to join a band!
**[00:14] Guitar Man**
And as she was thinking that...
**[00:16] Nijika**
Hey, come join our band!
**[00:18] Guitar Man**
From that humble beginning, she formed a rock
band with this group of colorful characters!
**[00:23] Guitar Man**
Since then, her life has been
one event after another!
**[00:26] Guitar Man**
And just now, the club manager said,
**[00:28] Guitar Man**
"I can't put you on stage
unless you pass an audition,"
**[00:31] Guitar Man**
which inspired a huge panic!
***SIGN*** Manager's Authority
***SIGN*** Menacing
**[00:39] Guitar Man**
And after hours and hours of practice...
***SIGN*** Pass
***SIGN*** Pass
***SIGN*** Pass
**[00:47] Kessoku Band**
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
**[00:48] Guitar Man**
They managed to pass their audition!
**[00:50] Guitar Man**
Happiness bloomed!
**[00:52] Guitar Man**
Or so they thought, but Hitori Gotoh
still had a towering wall before her!
**[00:56] Guitar Man**
It was...
**[00:59] Guitar Man**
That five-person ticket quota!
**[01:01] Guitar Man**
What was a girl with no contacts
outside of her family and band to do?!
**[01:05] Guitar Man**
What will you do?
**[01:06] Guitar Man**
What will you do, Hitori—
**[01:10] Hitori**
*Only ten days to the concert.*
***SIGN*** Last Night
**[01:19] Hitori**
Father, mother, sister, dog.
**[01:23] Hitori**
One ticket left for...
**[01:25] Hitori**
Grandma?
**[01:27] Hitori**
B-But I doubt she'd make the three-hour trip
just to see me play...
**[01:29] Michiyo**
Good.
**[01:31] Michiyo**
You know Jimihen can't come, right?
**[01:33] Hitori**
Y-You think?
**[01:36] Hitori**
I s-sort of had a feeling,
but... I wasn't sure...
**[01:42] Naoki**
Futari can't go to a club like that either.
**[01:45] Naoki**
She's only five.
**[01:47] Futari**
Aw, no fun!
**[01:50] Michiyo**
It's scary in there.

but I've got lots of friends at school.
**[02:32] Futari**
Lia—
**[02:33] Hitori**
You shouldn't say that, even as a joke.
**[02:36] Hitori**
You should grow up to have
empathy for others.
**[02:38] Futari**

**[08:31] Kikuri**
What's with you, Hitori-chan?
**[08:33] Hitori**
A-A-A-Actually I bought it
but gave up after one day,
**[08:36] Hitori**
so I was just heading
to a pawn shop to sell it!
**[08:38] Kikuri**
Uh?
**[08:39] Hitori**
I was hoping for a far more worthy
person to use this guitar
**[08:41] Hitori**
and truly find their wings and soar,
but I d-d-don't play at all!
**[08:44] Hitori**
Sorry! Gosh, wonder how much I'll get for it!
**[08:47] Hitori**
It's all-you-can-eat yakiniku for me today!
**[08:48] Kikuri**
Wait!
**[08:52] Kikuri**
Giving up after one day is a waste.
**[08:57] Kikuri**
You can sell it any time you want.
**[09:00] Kikuri**
But if you stick with it
a little while longer,
**[09:02] Kikuri**
you might become worthy
of that guitar someday.
**[09:05] Kikuri**
Oh, listen to me! Tryin' to sound all wise...
**[09:06] Hitori**
*Wait. Is she kind of normal after all?*
**[09:10] Kikuri**
Oh, I know.
**[09:11] Kikuri**
How's about I give you lessons?
**[09:14] Hitori**
Oh, actually, sorry...
**[09:17] Hitori**
I lied about everything I said just now.
**[09:20] Kikuri**
That's a heck of a smooth lie you told.
**[09:25] Kikuri**
Wow, nice guitar!
**[09:28] Kikuri**
It's clear you take good care of it.
**[09:30] Hitori**
Th-Thank you.
**[09:32] Kikuri**

Booze and the bass are

Y-Yes. Very cool.
**[10:42] Kikuri**
We really rocked the house
at our concert last night!
**[10:45] Kikuri**
But I drank way too much at the afterparty.
**[10:48] Kikuri**
Next thing I knew, the sun was up,
**[10:50] Kikuri**
and I had no idea where I was!
**[10:53] Hitori**
H-How many hours did you spend drinking?
**[10:56] Kikuri**
Lesse...
**[10:57] Kikuri**
The afterparty started at ten, so...
**[11:00] Kikuri**
I was pretty out of it
most of the time, so...
**[11:04] Kikuri**
Figure I might as well stay up 'til tonight.
**[11:08] Hitori**
Y-You really like drinking that much?
**[11:10] Kikuri**
Sure do! Drinking lets me forget
everything, so I just...
**[11:15] Hitori**

**[14:55] Kikuri**
Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
**[14:59] Hitori**
*Enemies?*
**[15:02] Hitori**
*What does she mean, enemies?*
**[15:05] Kita**
What? What's Gotoh-san like at school?
**[15:08] Nijika**
Yeah.
**[15:08] Nijika**
I think I can kind of picture it,
**[15:12] Nijika**
but... well...
**[15:13] Ryo**
Is she a loner at school, too?
**[15:14] Nijika**
Don't just say it like that!
**[15:16] Kita**
Well, let me see...
**[15:19] Kita**
We're in different classes, so I don't see
what she's like with her classmates, but...
**[15:24] Kita**
It's true that I've never seen her
with another person.
**[15:29] Kita**
Oh, she's not being bullied
or anything, though.
**[15:31] Nijika**
That's good to hear!
**[15:33] Kita**
She's really withdrawn and people seem
to have trouble interacting with her.
**[15:38] Kita**
It's kind of hard to know
how to approach her.
**[15:41] Nijika**
Really?
**[15:42] Ryo**
But Bocchi's so fun.
**[15:44] Kita**
I know, right?!
**[15:49] Kikuri**
Okay, we're starting!
**[15:51] Kikuri**
We're playing an original song
by her band, Kessoku Band!
**[15:56] Kikuri**
Let's have some applause!
**[16:00] Kikuri**
Go on, play.
**[16:02] Hitori**
R-Right...
**[16:08] Kita**
She'll stick with me for guitar practice,
**[16:11] Kita**
but when I invite her to have lunch
with my friends, she won't come,
**[16:15] Kita**
and she's never in her classroom...
**[16:19] Hitori**
*She's...*
**[16:21] Hitori**
*She's ad-libbing, but she's really selling it.*
**[16:24] Hitori**

**[16:27] Hitori**
* She's giving me such a firm*

W-Well then, I'll fetch the drinks.
**[05:44] Hitori**
Please make yourselves at home.
**[05:46] Nijika**
Thanks!
**[05:50] Nijika**
But wow, she really went
all-out with the decorations!
**[05:53] Kita**
There's nothing here besides the guitar
and effects unit, though.
**[05:57] Nijika**
Yeah...
**[05:58] Kita**
I just assumed her room would have
a bit more of a rock feel to—

**[06:07] Nijika**
Yeah, it's pretty rock!

anything else rock about i—

many copies of our ProPho?
***SIGN*** Sealed Sealed Sealed

**[06:28] Futari**

***SIGN*** Welcome to Chez Gotoh
**[06:31] Futari**
She had this picture stuck up
all over her room.
**[06:34] Futari**
She said she really liked it!
**[06:37] Futari**
But Mom told her to take them down
because they were hurting her eyes.
**[06:42] Futari**
And we put those seals up
when Sis was possessed before!
**[06:47] Futari**
That should just about cover it!
**[06:51] Kita**
Wait, are you Gotoh-san's sister?
**[06:53] Futari**
Yes! A pleasure to meet you.
**[06:55] Futari**
I'm Futari Gotoh.

Sorry to keep you guys wa—
**[07:13] Futari**
Hey, will you play the
Munions song on guitar?
**[07:16] Kita**
I'll practice so I can do it
the next time I come by.
**[07:18] Futari**
You gotta! When's the next time you come by?
**[07:21] Hitori**
*I-Is this...*
**[07:24] Nijika**
Jimihen's a friendly little guy!
**[07:26] Hitori**
* Th-They're getting along so well,*

F-Futari. Wh-What are you doing here?
**[07:42] Hitori**
Wh-Where are Mom and Dad?
**[07:43] Futari**
Shopping.
**[07:44] Hitori**
I-I-I've got grown-up things to talk about,
so please go play with Jimihen.
**[07:48] Futari**
Aw, no fun!
**[07:51] Kita**
I don't mind having Futari-chan here.
**[07:53] Nijika**
Yeah, same!
**[07:54] Hitori**
Y-Y-Y-You can't!
**[07:56] Hitori**
I c-c-can't whoop it up if my sister's here!

Bocchi-chan, you've been
whooping it up with us all this time?
**[08:02] Hitori**
I beg of you!
**[08:03] Hitori**
Please go play with Jimihen!
**[08:07] Hitori**
You can have an ice pop from the freezer.
**[08:11] Futari**
Well, it is what it is!
**[08:14] Kita**
You've got such a sisterly bond!
**[08:17] Nijika**

N-Nijika-chan is so hungry for merch!
**[08:36] Nijika**

I might use those as well!

I'm not sure how "victory"
applies to a concert...

I never imagined Hitori
would have real friends over!
**[11:24] Michiyo**
Eat your fill, all right?
**[11:26] Nijika**
Sure!
**[11:27] Kita**
Thanks so much!
**[11:28] Naoki**
You let Hitori join your band, right?
**[11:31] Kita**
Yes.
**[11:31] Nijika**
We didn't exactly "let" her join.
**[11:33] Nijika**
I asked her to join, and she
was willing to humor me.
**[11:36] Michiyo**
Really?
**[11:38] Nijika**
See? Music really brings people together!
**[11:41] Nijika**
Right, Jimihen?
**[11:43] Michiyo**
She doesn't cause too much trouble with her

**[11:47] Kita**
Aw, that's no trouble at all!
**[11:50] Nijika**
Yeah! It's fun!
**[11:53] Michiyo**

Thanks!
**[12:12] Futari**
Kita-chan, eat!
**[12:14] Kita**
Okay!
**[12:18] Michiyo**
When she said she had friends coming,
**[12:20] Michiyo**
I assumed they were imaginary
or hallucinations,
**[12:22] Michiyo**
but then, she did have that picture...
**[12:24] Nijika**
Hallucinations?
**[12:25] Naoki**
But of course, image editing software
is pretty sophisticated these days...
**[12:29] Kita**

**[12:31] Naoki**
If I might ask, you're not from
some kind of friend rental servi—
**[12:35] Nijika**
We're her bona fide bandmates!
**[12:37] Naoki**
Oh, okay.
**[12:38] Hitori**
* I can't say it doesn't sound*
* like something I'd do...*
**[12:38] Naoki**
It's just that Hitori's never
brought a friend home before.
**[12:41] Hitori**
* but hearing Mom and Dad's*
* ideas about me is so...*
**[12:44] Nijika**
*So Bocchi's like this even at home.*
**[12:48] Michiyo**
She's been so restless for days now.
**[12:51] Michiyo**
She said something about practicing
decorating her room,
**[12:54] Michiyo**
put it all up, took it all down,
and put it back up, over and over again.
**[12:59] Naoki**
And she played a simulated game of Twister,
just in case you played.
**[13:04] Hitori**
M-Mom! Dad!
**[13:06] Hitori**
You don't have to tell them all that stuff!
**[13:08] Michiyo**
I'm glad we went shopping just in case!
**[13:11] Naoki**
Okay, this is a day worth remembering!
**[13:14] Naoki**
A friend-a-versary!
**[13:15] Futari**

That's right.

**[13:24] Nijika**
Yeah, it's at my sister's club.
**[13:26] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan mainly serves

Amazing. Music really does
cause personal growth!
**[13:37] Michiyo**
And you were having so much fun
when we burst in like that!
**[13:41] Michiyo**

**[20:52] Ryo**
Should we make rain charms?
**[20:53] Nijika**
Yeah! That's our only choice!
**[20:56] Nijika**
Your quota is ten each!
**[20:57] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[20:58] Kita**
Oh, it looks like it won't
hit the Kanto region, though.
**[21:01] Nijika**
Oh, really?
**[21:03] Nijika**
Whew, that's a relief!
**[21:05] Kita**
I can't wait for the show!
**[21:06] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[21:07] Nijika**
I think the new song's coming
together pretty well!
**[21:09] Hitori**
U-Um...
**[21:10] Kita**
Yeah! We're all sounding awesome!
**[21:12] Nijika**
Okay, let's get practicing!
**[21:16] Hitori**
Excuse me!
**[21:18] Hitori**
Sh-Shouldn't we still make the
rain charms? Just to be safe?
**[21:23] Nijika**
Yeah, sure! Better safe than sorry, right?
**[21:26] Kita**
Totally!
**[21:27] Nijika**
I'll bring in what we need to make them.
**[21:29] Hitori**
O-Okay!
**[21:30] Kita**
I haven't made rain charms
since elementary school!
**[21:32] Hitori**
* I'm used to being negative,*
* so I always assume the worst, but...*
**[21:34] Ryo**
Sorry, the five younger brothers
I haven't seen since birth—
**[21:36] Nijika**
Stop acting above it! It was your idea!
**[21:38] Nijika**
You okay, Bocchi-chan?

I sleep, with big problems
weighing down on me

Though you can't beat that feeling
of being loved, it's true
**[22:32] [SONG] ---**
When I awaken from cold dreams,
my body feels numb

You shine so brightly,
it could make me a shadow

It's time to take that step

Though there's nothing certain about it
**[23:03] [SONG] ---**
It carries my childish heart into tomorrow

*I hate it when I'm right.*
**[00:16] Seika**
Nijika and her friends made them.
**[00:20] PA**
But the typhoon still came in the end.
**[00:23] Seika**
Well, it's not like rain charms
actually affect the weather.
**[00:28] PA**
Even the people who bought tickets
might not come at this rate.
**[00:33] PA**
I hope they're not too
heartbroken by the small crowd.
**[00:37] PA**
They practiced so hard for this.
I feel bad for them.
**[00:40] Seika**
Real bands get screwed over
by life all the time.
**[00:45] Seika**
They need to learn to make it

M-My grandma was supposed

**[01:04] Hitori**
b-but now she can't come, so...
**[01:06] Nijika**
Yeah. Makes sense...
**[01:09] Kita**
Our audience is going to be
less than half of what we expected.
**[01:13] Nijika**
Well, it is what it is!
**[01:14] Nijika**
Let's take it in stride!
**[01:15] Kita**
Yes, of course!
**[01:15] Hitori**
* Nijika-chan always stays so cheerful,*

Oh, you came here for Bocchi-chan?
**[01:55] Kikuri**
Heck yeah! Yay!
**[01:58] Hitori**
Y-You know each other?
**[02:01] Seika**
She was my junior in college.
**[02:03] Kikuri**
Betcher havin' an afterparty tonight, right?
**[02:07] Kikuri**
Picked an izakaya yet?
**[02:08] Seika**
You reek of booze!
**[02:09] Kikuri**
I know a good one, 'kay? 'Kay?
**[02:13] Seika**
How did you become even *more*
of a pain in the ass?
**[02:16] PA**
She's as annoying as a college student
who just learned about drinking parties.
**[02:20] Seika**
And look at you! You're soaked!
**[02:24] Fan 1**
I'm so wet!

Of course we did!

Looks like the rain's
only going to get worse.
**[03:13] Nijika**
Worse than *this*?
**[03:15] Kita**
Yes...
**[03:16] Ryo**
Maybe we should just stream it
as a no-audience concert
**[03:18] Ryo**
and act like it was supposed
to be that way from the start.
**[03:21] Nijika**
We're not doing that!
**[03:22] Nijika**
It's way too late to get anyone to tune in,
**[03:24] Nijika**

**[03:49] Nijika**
and I'm sure they'll all listen to us!
**[03:51] Ryo**
And I'm sure more will arrive if we start.
**[03:54] Audience A**
Hey, you ever heard of this
first group? Kessoku Band?
**[03:57] Audience B**
Don't know. Don't care.
**[03:59] Audience A**
Yeah, seems like a waste of time.
**[04:05] Nijika**
W-Well, we're new,
so of course no one knows us!
**[04:09] Nijika**
Don't let it get you down!
**[04:10] Kita**
E-Exactly!
**[04:11] Ryo**
Don't sweat it. Don't sweat it.
**[04:13] Hitori**
R-Right!
**[04:14] Nijika**
O-Okay, it's almost time!
**[04:17] Nijika**
Let's do that concert, you guys!
**[04:39] Kita**
A pleasure to meet you!
**[04:40] Kita**
We're Kessoku Band!
**[04:42] Kita**
We appreciate your kind attendance
in spite of this awful weather!
**[04:48] Nijika**
Kita-chan, that's way too polite
for a rock band!
**[04:53] Hitori**
*I want my mango box!*
**[04:55] Hitori**
*Actually, I want to disappear altogether!*
**[04:58] Kita**
Well, let's get to that first song!
**[05:00] Kita**
Please lend your ears to our original song:
**[05:03] Kita**
"Guitar, Solitude, and the Blue Planet"!
**[05:33] Hitori**
*Nijika-chan's drumming feels a little slow.*
**[05:40] Hitori**
* And Kita-san's making mistakes*
* she didn't make in practice.*
**[05:45] Hitori**
* Ryo-san and Nijika-chan*
* aren't in sync at all.*
**[06:08] Hitori**
*We're not playing the way we usually do...*
**[06:46] Kita**
That was "Guitar, Solitude,
and the Blue Planet"!
**[06:49] Audience A**
Yeah, what a waste of time.
**[06:51] Audience B**
We should've showed up later.
**[06:53] Kita**
Um...
**[06:55] Nijika**
Kita-chan, you need to
introduce the next song!
**[06:57] KIta**
R-Right!
**[06:58] KIta**
The next is another of our original songs,
**[07:01] KIta**
and it's one we just wrote...
**[07:01] Hitori**
* Our performance and*
* our songs still aren't good enough.*
**[07:11] Hitori**
*But...*
**[07:16] Hitori**
*I refuse to let it stay this way!*
**[09:16] Audience A**
Hey, not bad!
**[09:18] Audience B**
Yeah!
**[09:21] Fan 1**
That was super cool!
**[09:22] Fan 2**
Yeah!
**[09:26] Kikuri**
*Magnificent smugface.*
**[09:38] Kita**
That was our second song, "That Band"!
**[09:41] Kita**
Now, here's our last song!

Who exactly is this woman, if I may ask?

Genius bassist and unparalleled
bass-lover, Kikuri Hiroi!
**[10:09] Kikuri**
I left my bass at a drinking party yesterday,
**[10:12] Kikuri**
but I forgot which drinking party, so...
**[10:14] Kita**
Instant self-contradiction.
**[10:16] Ryo**
I've been to a lot of your concerts.
**[10:18] Kikuri**
Aw, for real? You got good taste, hon!
**[10:21] Ryo**
You spray booze on the audience.
**[10:25] Ryo**
Blind drunk concerts are the best!
**[10:28] (Flashback) Kikuri**
Sorry, forgot the words!
**[10:29] (Flashback) Kikuri**
But hey, that's how concerts go sometimes!
**[10:32] (Flashback) Kikuri**
Don't be mad, you jerks!
**[10:34] Ryo**
I treasure my memory of
you stepping on my face.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Kikuri**
Thank you, Shinjuku!
**[10:39] (Flashback) Kikuri**
I love you mother******s!
**[10:42] Kita**
There's so much about rock
I have yet to learn.
**[10:46] Nijika**
It might be okay not to learn all that.
**[10:49] Kikuri**
Glad your concert turned out well in the end!
**[10:52] Nijika**
For an audience of ten, sure.
**[10:54] Kikuri**
But every single one of 'em left happy!
**[10:58] Nijika**
Yeah, guess so!
**[11:00] Seika**
Well, keep it up, and you'll pick up fans.
**[11:03] Seika**
Work hard for your next concert.
**[11:05] Seika**
And make sure you pay your quota fee.
**[11:07] Nijika**

Minister?
**[11:40] Seika**
What do you like so much about that, anyway?
**[11:42] Kita**
What?

By the way, Ikuyo.
**[15:49] Ryo**
You played pretty well today for only
having done this for three months.
**[15:55] Kikuri**
Huh? Who's Ikuyo again?
**[15:58] Kita**
Dunno! Who'd have a crummy
old name like that?!
**[16:02] Seika**
It's *your* name, isn't it?!
**[16:04] Kikuri**
Oh, it's Kita-chan's name?
**[16:06] PA**
That face is contagious, huh?
**[16:10] Kita**
I hid it for so long!
**[16:11] Kita**
I hate my name so much!
**[16:13] Seika**
How come? It's cute.
**[16:15] Kita**
You wouldn't understand,
since you have a beautiful name
**[16:18] Kita**
that means "song of the stars"!
**[16:20] Kikuri**
Look at her freak out!
**[16:21] Kita**
But mine sounds like a bad pun!
**[16:23] Kita**
"Kita! Ikuyo!" (I'm here! Let's go!)
**[16:25] Kita**
Are you serious?!
**[16:28] Seika**
I think we broke her.
**[16:30] Kita**
My full name is Kita Kita.
**[16:34] Ryo**
Seeing you withdraw into your shell is fun.
**[16:36] Seika**
You're sadistic.
**[16:39] Kikuri**
So, as for what you were saying before...
**[16:42] Kikuri**
You were mumbling about supporting yourself
with the guitar and becoming a NEET.
**[16:46] Hitori**
I-I'm sorry for losing my head...
**[16:49] Kikuri**
Hey, nothin' wrong with it.
**[16:51] Kikuri**
But lemme give you some advice
as your senpai in the world of bands.
**[16:55] Kikuri**
Just chill out and enjoy yourself!
**[17:00] PA**
If you put the weight of success
on your own shoulders all the time,
**[17:03] PA**
you'll just make yourself miserable.
**[17:05] Seika**
That's right.
**[17:06] Seika**
It's important to enjoy the process
of making your dream come true.
**[17:10] Kikuri**
By the way, Senpai, how come
you suddenly quit playing?
**[17:14] Hitori**
Th-The manager was in a band?
**[17:17] Kikuri**
Oh, yah. They were *super* popular.
**[17:20] Hitori**
Then wh-why...
**[17:22] Seika**
I got sick of bands.
**[17:24] Kikuri**
But you run a club.
What's the deal there, huh?
**[17:28] Seika**
Shut up and drink.
**[17:28] Hitori**
*Nijika-chan never said a word about that...*
**[17:30] Kikuri**
What, I can? Thanks a bunch!
**[17:31] Hitori**
*Huh? And Nijika-chan's been gone a while...*
**[17:32] Seika**
I'm not paying for you, though.
**[17:34] Kikuri**
Aww...
**[17:36] Hitori**
E-Excuse me.
**[17:37] Hitori**
I have to use the restroom.
**[17:39] Kikuri**
Manager, keep 'em comin'!
**[17:49] Hitori**
E-Excuse me... Nijika-chan?
**[17:51] Nijika**
Oh, Bocchi-chan!
**[17:53] Hitori**
I-Is something the matter?
**[17:55] Nijika**
Nah, just getting some fresh air.
**[17:58] Hitori**
I-It's been getting cold
at night lately, huh?
**[18:02] Nijika**
Sure has.
**[18:04] Nijika**
Next thing we know,
summer break's gonna be over!
**[18:08] Hitori**
I hear nothing.
**[18:09] Hitori**
I know nothing.
**[18:11] Hitori**
Summer break never ends.
**[18:12] Hitori**
I'm not a student.
**[18:14] Hitori**
Trees, water, planets, Milky Way...
**[18:15] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan! Back to reality!
**[18:17] Hitori**
S-Sorry.
**[18:24] Hitori**
E-Excuse me...
**[18:25] Nijika**
Say...
**[18:26] Nijika**
I realized something while I was
watching you play today.
**[18:29] Nijika**
You're guitarhero, aren't you?
**[18:37] Hitori**
W-Well, a-actually, n-no, about that...
**[18:39] Nijika**
It was pretty obvious from the
on-point way you were strumming.
**[18:43] Nijika**
And I finally noticed
you had the same guitar.
**[18:48] Hitori**
*No use trying to hide it now.*
**[18:51] Hitori**
Um...
**[18:53] Hitori**
I am.
**[18:54] Hitori**
B-But I didn't hide it on purpose.
**[18:57] Hitori**
S-Since I'm anything but a hero right now...
**[19:02] Hitori**
I w-wanted to wait to tell you
until I fixed the way I am.
**[19:06] Hitori**
E-Especially you, Nijika-chan.
**[19:12] Hitori**
A-Are you shocked to find out?
**[19:15] Nijika**
Nah...
**[19:16] Nijika**
It made me all the more happy to have you!
**[19:19] Hitori**
What?
**[19:20] Nijika**
See, I told you I had a dream before, right?
**[19:25] Hitori**
Y-Yes?
**[19:26] Nijika**
My mom died when I was little,
and my dad was never home,
**[19:32] Nijika**
so my sister was pretty much my only family.
**[19:36] Nijika**
But since I hated being alone,
when my sis started a band,
**[19:40] Nijika**
I had her take me to her clubs all the time.
**[19:44] Nijika**
It all seemed so shining to me.
**[19:47] Nijika**
I was never happier anywhere else.
**[19:51] Nijika**
I was her inspiration for quitting her band
and starting up this club.
**[19:56] Nijika**
Starry is a place my sister made for me.
**[20:02] Nijika**
Though I'll bet she won't admit it.
**[20:06] Nijika**
So my real dream
**[20:09] Nijika**
is to make a band popular
enough for me and my sister
**[20:13] Nijika**
and make Starry even more famous!
**[20:18] Nijika**
But when I actually started my band,
**[20:20] Nijika**
I spent a while thinking that
it was kind of out of my reach.
**[20:25] Nijika**
And everyone was so disheartened today.
**[20:28] Nijika**
But every time things
are looking their worst,
***SIGN*** Ripe Mangos
**[20:35] Nijika**
you're the one who breaks through it for us!
**[20:38] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, you were
one heck of a hero to me today.
**[20:44] Nijika**
Ryo wants to use this band to finally
get to play music from the heart,
**[20:49] Nijika**
and Kita-chan wants to really
do something with us.
**[20:54] Nijika**
They've all invested their hopes in the band.
**[20:58] Nijika**
That reminds me, you never actually told me
what you were doing the band for now.
**[21:04] Hitori**
I...
**[21:11] Hitori**
As a guitarist, I want to make the
Kessoku Band we all care so much about
**[21:14] Hitori**
the best band it can be!
**[21:18] Hitori**
A-And I want us to become such a popular band
**[21:22] Hitori**
that we can make money
and not have to finish school...
**[21:25] Nijika**
That's a pretty tall order!
**[21:27] Nijika**
But I accept your investment!
**[21:31] Nijika**
I sure do wish you could play the way
you do in your videos every time, though...
**[21:38] Hitori**
I'll d-do my best...
**[21:41] Nijika**
But now I know it for sure!
**[21:44] Nijika**
Having you with us will
make our dreams possible!
**[21:48] Nijika**
So keep showing us more and more.
**[21:51] Nijika**
Of "Bocchi-chan's rock."

***SIGN*** August
**[00:45] Hitori**
*I mean, playing guitar is fun and all, but...*
**[00:49] Hitori**
* I was thinking Kessoku Band*
* might hang out together,*
**[00:51] Hitori**
* so I've cleared my schedule*
* of everything but work, but...*
**[00:54] Hitori**
* Of course, it's usually*
* clear regardless, but...*
**[00:57] Hitori**
*B-But* keeping *it clear
has a totally different feel, right?*
**[01:02] Hitori**
* Still, even at work, nobody*
* so much as suggests hanging out...*
**[01:07] Nijika**
*Bocchi-chan! See you at work again tomorrow!*
**[01:10] Hitori**
* The members of a band usually*
* hang out, don't they?*
**[01:14] Hitori**
* But I guess when we're all*

**[01:20] Hitori**
*S-Still, just for once, I'd like to...*

**[02:42] Michiyo**
You'll be back at school soon.

***SIGN*** BOCCHI THE ROCK!
***SIGN*** #09 Enoshima Escar
**[04:25] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan? Acting strange?
**[04:27] Kita**
Yeah.
**[04:28] Kita**
She's been staring out into space,
and she's barely talked in days.
**[04:32] Ryo**
Sounds like typical Bocchi.
**[04:34] Nijika**
C'mon, you can't possibly...
**[04:36] (Flashback) Hitori**
Astaxanthin. Canthaxanthin.
**[04:39] Nijika**
...be exaggerating.
**[04:40] Kita**
I'm not!
**[04:42] Kita**
She seemed on the verge
of tears for a minute,
**[04:44] Kita**
but then she spontaneously
started dancing the samba!
**[04:47] (Flashback) Hitori**
Tortilla!
**[04:49] Nijika**
That's not good!
**[04:50] Ryo**
Typical Bocchi.
**[04:52] Kita**
It is *not*!
**[04:53] Seika**
Hey.
**[04:55] Seika**
Could you get Bocchi-chan to knock it off?
**[04:58] Ryo**
Eh?
**[05:03] Seika**
She's been making cicada graves
in front of the club all day.
**[05:08] Nijika**
That's way too out there!
**[05:10] Nijika**
What's got her freaking out like that?
**[05:11] Kita**
I wonder if it's because today's
the last day of summer break.
**[05:12] Hitori**
Farewell. Farewell.
**[05:14] Ryo**
I don't wanna go back to school either.
**[05:16] Seika**
Say, guys.
**[05:18] Seika**
Have you actually taken her out
anywhere this summer?
**[05:22] Seika**
One time, while you were working, I asked
what she was doing with her time off...
**[05:27] (Flashback) Seika**
Bocchi-chan. What are you doing with
your break when you're not working?
**[05:31] (Flashback) Hitori**
Um, I... My little sister asked me
to teach her guitar, so I did.
**[05:37] (Flashback) Seika**
Hey, that's nice.
**[05:39] (Flashback) Hitori**
B-But...
**[05:40] (Flashback) Futari**
Today I asked my sister
to teach me to play guitar!
**[05:44] (Flashback) Futari**
I thought it was awesome how my sister
stayed inside practicing, day after day!
**[05:50] (Flashback) Futari**
I have too many things to do and too many
friends to play with over summer break,
**[05:55] (Flashback) Futari**
so I can't stay home practicing
every day like her!
**[05:58] (Flashback) Futari**
That's why I think it's awesome!
**[06:01] (Flashback) Hitori**
H-Her words sent me into a spiral, and
I ended up not getting out of bed for days.
**[06:06] (Flashback) Seika**
I see.
**[06:07] (Flashback) Hitori**
I cleared my schedule!
**[06:09] (Flashback) Hitori**
N-Not because I have nothing to do!
I cleared it on purpose!
**[06:13] (Flashback) Seika**
R-Right.
**[06:14] Seika**
She said all that.
**[06:15] Nijika**
Why didn't you tell us earlier?
**[06:18] Kita**
I wanted to invite her, but...
**[06:20] Kita**
My schedule's packed every day I'm not here,
**[06:23] Kita**
and I thought she'd be uncomfortable
around people she doesn't know, so...
**[06:27] Kita**
What about you, Ijichi-senpai?
**[06:29] Nijika**
W-Well, when we're not practicing, I'm
cleaning up at home or working here, so...
**[06:37] Kita**
R-Ryo-senpai?
**[06:39] Ryo**
I figured you two had invited her already.
**[06:41] Nijika**
Y-You're telling me...
**[06:44] Nijika/Ryo/Kita**
Nobody invited Bocchi-chan out?
**[06:47] Seika**
You guys need to change your band name.
**[06:50] Kita**
G-Gotoh-san! You want to hang out?
**[06:53] Hitori**
Docosahexaenoic acid. Eicosapentaenoic acid.
**[06:55] Kita**
Come back to us!
**[06:57] Kita**
I know! Let's all go to the
beach together, right now!
**[07:01] Kita**
We could hit up Enoshima!
**[07:02] Nijika**
Great idea! It's a straight shot
from Shimo-Kita.
**[07:06] Hitori**
B-But...
**[07:08] Hitori**
What-about-our-practice-then?
**[07:10] Ryo**
Why's she talking like a robot?
**[07:12] Nijika**
We can practice any time!
**[07:14] Nijika**
It's not like we have our next
concert scheduled, anyway.
**[07:17] Kita**
Let's use our last day of summer break
to make memories together!
**[07:20] Hitori**
Memories...
**[07:21] Kita**
Isn't that a great idea?
**[07:23] Kita**
Let's go to the beach together!
**[07:24] Ryo**
But it might be too late to swim.
**[07:26] Hitori**
Y-Yeah... no point in going to
the beach if you can't swim.
**[07:31] Kita**
B-But there's still the beach shacks!
**[07:33] Nijika**
Let's eat shirasu-don!
**[07:34] Nijika**
And we can gaze at the ocean from the sand...
**[07:37] Hitori**
Ocean... Sand...
**[07:39] Nijika**
See? Doesn't that sound fun?
**[07:51] Guitar Man**
Wait for me!
**[07:53] Guitar Woman**
You catch up!
**[08:04] Guitar Man**
The end of summer, huh?
**[08:07] Guitar Woman**
Let's come again next year.
**[08:12] Guitar Man/Guitar Woman**
Tropical love forever!
**[08:17] Hitori**
Tropical love...
**[08:19] Kita**
Gotoh-san!
**[08:19] Hitori**
Forever...
**[08:20] Nijika**
Why is this happening?
**[08:22] Kita**
I think I made it worse somehow.
**[08:26] Nijika**
Okay! Let's take her out while she's docile!
**[08:28] Ryo**
Roger!
**[08:29] Nijika**
Kita-chan, you carry Bocchi-chan!
**[08:32] Kita**
What?!
**[08:33] Nijika**
Okay! Let's get going to Enoshima!
**[08:35] Ryo**
Yeah!
**[08:38] Kita**
Gotoh-san! We'll be making
those summer memories soon!
**[08:41] Kita**
Just hang in there a little longer!
**[08:44] Hitori**
Scary... Tropical...
**[08:52] Hitori**
I'm in a black hole... at the
far reaches of the galaxy...
**[08:52] Nijika**
She must really hate school
to be acting this way.
**[08:56] Ryo**
Is your school super strict?
**[08:56] Hitori**
Too far for the sunshine
of summer to reach...
**[08:58] Kita**
No, I'd say it's on the liberal side.
**[08:59] Hitori**
Trapped by the powerful gravity...
**[09:02] Kita**
And the culture festivals are lots of fun!
**[09:04] Nijika**
Aw, lucky!
**[09:06] Nijika**
Our school's pretty strict,
**[09:09] Nijika**
and the culture festivals are super uptight.
**[09:11] Nijika**
It's mostly science project
posters and stuff.

**[09:36] Kita**
But then how did you pass the entrance exam?
**[09:40] Nijika**
Ryo's a cram-the-night-before type.
**[09:43] Nijika**
She worked really hard right before the exam,
**[09:45] Nijika**
but apparently forgot it all after.
**[09:48] Ryo**
When I study too hard,
I forget how to play bass.
**[09:51] Kita**
Which means Ryo-senpai isn't
mysterious and thoughtful at all...
**[09:57] Kita**
No! Her brain is so small you can hear it
rattling around in her skull!
**[10:02] Nijika**
Maybe we can use that sound in a new song!
**[10:04] Kita**
Stop it! Stop destroying my fantasy!
**[10:07] Ryo**
Don't yell on the train.
**[10:09] Kita**
I'm deleting this conversation
from my memory!
**[10:12] Nijika**
Is this what overly strong love does to you?
**[10:15] Hitori**
C-Curvature of spacetime...
**[10:17] Nijika**
What are you seeing right now, Bocchi-chan?
**[10:21] Ryo**
I don't get why she's so isolated at school.
**[10:23] Ryo**
She's so fun.
**[10:24] Nijika**
Right?
**[10:25] Nijika**
I wish everyone at her school
could see how cool she is.
**[10:30] Kita**
I'll make sure to talk to her
when school starts again.
**[10:33] Nijika**
You totally should!
**[10:35] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan's dream right now
is to drop out of school!
**[10:38] Kita**
Does that even count as a dream?!
**[10:41] Nijika**
Anyway, let's use today to make a fun
summer memory with Bocchi-chan!
**[10:46] Kita**
Let's take a picture, Gotoh-san!
**[10:49] Ryo**
I'm gonna get some sea salt
soft-serve. See you later.
**[10:52] Nijika**
Hey! No one said this was free time!
**[10:56] Kita**
Gotoh-san. Please wake up already!
**[10:59] Kita**
Gotoh-san!
**[11:00] Nijika**
Look!
**[11:02] Nijika**
The beach is so big!
**[11:07] Hitori**
H-Huh?
**[11:08] Hitori**
Wh-When did I...
**[11:10] Nijika**
You've really been out cold this whole time?
**[11:13] Hitori**
Th-Thank you, Kita-san.
**[11:16] Hitori**
*When was the last time I've been to the beach?*
**[11:20] Hitori**
* Now that I'm here,*
* I can see how beautiful it—*
**[11:23] Beach Man A**
Hey, girls!
**[11:25] Beach Man A**
Come eat at our beach shack!
**[11:28] Beach Man A**
We got a discount for cuties like you!
**[11:28] Hitori**
*I-It's a party animal in the flesh!*
**[11:30] Beach Man A**
We can get you a table for four right away!
**[11:33] Beach Man A**
Are y'all in high school?
Where'd you come from?
**[11:37] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan exploded!
**[11:43] Ryo**
Archetypal beach bros.
**[11:45] Nijika**
They're too powerful for us to handle!
**[11:48] Kita**
Let's get away from the beach, ASAP!

Takosen!
**[12:01] Nijika**
I hear they press the takoyaki
with a full ton of force!
**[12:04] Hitori**
A ton of force?
**[12:09] Hitori**
It's good!
**[12:10] Ryo**
My tastiness sensor never fails.
**[12:14] Hitori**
V-Very impressive!
**[12:15] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan, I'm just glad
to see you feeling better!
**[12:19] Kita**
It's so big and cute!
**[12:21] Kita**
So photogenic!
**[12:22] Kita**
Let's take a picture!
**[12:24] Kita**
Okay! Here comes the selfie!
**[12:28] Nijika**
Lemme see!
**[12:29] Kita**
It turned out super great!

*I ate tako senbei with them.*

Thank you for today.
**[12:44] Hitori**
It's been wonderful.
**[12:45] Nijika**
How are we at the climax already?!
**[12:48] Hitori**
And so, my summer came to an end.
**[12:53] Kita**
We're just getting started!
***SIGN*** Enoshima Shrine
**[13:06] Kita**
Okay! Let's climb all the way to the top!
***SIGN*** Enoshima Shrine
**[13:11] Ryo**
Stairs?
**[13:13] Kita**
Is there anything more beautiful
than scenery you have to work to see?
**[13:18] Ryo**
No. Screw that.
**[13:20] Kita**
Let's do it!
**[13:21] Ryo**
No!
**[13:21] Kita**
You too, Gotoh-san!
**[13:24] Kita**
*You'll* come with me, right, Ijichi-senpai?
**[13:26] Nijika**
I'm not super into it either...
**[13:29] Nijika**
Kita-chan! She's glowing more than ever!
**[13:31] Ryo**
H-How?
**[13:33] Hitori**
P-Perhaps her usually
understated extrovert aura
**[13:35] Hitori**
h-has been amplified
by the light of the sun!
**[13:38] Nijika**
It's stripped off her limiter, you mean?!
**[13:40] Kita**
Come on! Let's do it!
***SIGN*** Kit-aura
***SIGN*** Kit-aura
**[13:47] Kita**
Hurry up, everyone!
**[13:50] Ryo**
I'm done. No more climbing.
**[13:52] Nijika**
Kita-chan's getting further
and further ahead...
**[14:01] Nijika**
I'm out!
**[14:02] Ryo**
Who cares about the view?
**[14:04] Ryo**
Not me.
**[14:09] Kita**
Hang in there, you two.
**[14:11] Kita**
We've only just started!
**[14:13] Nijika**
Lemme take a break first.
**[14:16] Kita**
What'll I do with you?
**[14:18] Nijika**
You've got so much energy, Kita-chan...
**[14:24] Hitori**
E-Escar...
**[14:26] Hitori**
I th-think we can ride an escalator up!
**[14:31] Kita**
C'mon, let's climb the stairs!

You need to buy tickets
to the Enoshima Escar.
**[14:41] Kita**
See, we should climb the stairs instead!
**[14:44] Staff**
Welcome!
**[14:46] Ryo**
I... I have no money, but...
**[14:49] Ryo**
I've got some pretty good bass guitars.
**[14:52] Ryo**
I'll give you one.
**[14:55] Staff**
Um, I don't think...
**[14:56] Ryo**
How about two?
**[14:57] Ryo**
You want three?!
**[14:59] Staff**
You need to buy a ticket...
**[15:01] Nijika**
What a breeze!
**[15:03] Kita**
But climbing the stairs would have
made the view so much more impressive.
**[15:07] Hitori**
Y-You'll pay me back next month, right?
**[15:10] Ryo**
I've never broken a promise in my life.
**[15:14] Hitori**
You didn't pay me back last time, though.
**[15:16] Nijika**
Sorry, Bocchi-chan!
**[15:18] Nijika**
I'll take it out of her paycheck.
**[15:20] Ryo**
You're inhuman!
**[15:23] Nijika**
We made it!
**[15:24] Kita**
As long as we're here,
let's hit up the observation deck!
**[15:28] Nijika**
Even taking the Escar is kind of exhausting.
**[15:31] Ryo**
It was... quite a long way.
**[15:33] Hitori**
Yeah...
**[15:35] Ryo**
But being up this high
feels quite liberating.
**[15:40] Hitori**
P-Positivity wells up within me.
**[15:43] Ryo**
That's the fresh air and
magnificent view at work!
**[15:45] Hitori**
Sh-Should we take a picture together?
**[15:48] Nijika**
Yeah! Cheese!
**[15:50] Ryo**
Cheese!
**[15:51] Kita**
They're finally getting into it.
**[15:54] Miitan**
Look! Isn't it pretty?
**[15:56] Takkun**
Yeah, sure.

**[16:08] Kita**
The observation deck!
**[16:09] Miitan**
Takkun!
**[16:09] Kita**
Let's go to the observation deck!
**[16:15] Kita**
Look at that!
**[16:17] Kita**
The view from the observation deck
is even more fabulous!
**[16:20] Kita**
We've really got to drink it all in!
**[16:23] Nijika**
I love air conditioning.
**[16:24] Ryo**
It's heaven.
**[16:25] Hitori**
S-Sure is.
**[16:27] Kita**
Err, You guys?
**[16:29] Ryo**
Long, long ago, humans attempted
to build a tower to heaven
**[16:33] Ryo**
to prove themselves equal to God.
**[16:36] Ryo**
God, enraged, scrambled
the languages of humans,
**[16:40] Ryo**
and cast their lands into chaos.
**[16:42] Nijika**
Talking about the Tower of Babel?
**[16:44] Hitori**
B-But humans failed to learn
and built another tall tower like this?
**[16:48] Kita**
Guys! The scenery!
**[16:51] Nijika**
Kita-chan got what she wanted,
so let's blow this joint.
**[16:53] Hitori**
G-Good idea.
**[16:55] Ryo**
My favorite part was the air conditioning.
**[16:58] Kita**
You filthy indoor types!
**[17:04] Nijika**
Ryo. Weren't you eating sea salt
soft-serve earlier?
**[17:07] Ryo**
I've always got room for ice cream.
**[17:08] Hitori**
P-Please pay me back for the ice cream, too.
**[17:12] Kita**
What should we do next?
**[17:14] Nijika**
I think we've had plenty of fun, don't you?
**[17:16] Kita**
You think?
**[17:18] Kita**
I feel like we need one more
memorable event...
**[17:23] Nijika**
I wanna eat shirasu-don, then!
**[17:24] Nijika**
They were sold out at the place
where we had lunch!
**[17:26] Ryo**
Nah. Too full.
**[17:29] Nijika**
Since when were you in charge?
**[17:31] Hitori**
What's that sound?
**[17:33] Nijika**
Oh, the kites?
**[17:39] Kita**
They like to steal human food, so—
**[17:43] Nijika**
Right as we were talking about it!
**[17:45] Nijika**
You okay, Bocchi-chan?
**[17:48] Kita**
Gotoh-san, you want my ice cream?
**[17:56] Nijika**
They're targeting Bocchi-chan!
**[17:58] Kite A**
She looks weak!
**[18:00] Kite B**
It pisses me off.
**[18:01] Kite C**
Teach her a lesson!
**[18:03] Ryo**
Even birds look down on her.
**[18:05] Kita**
*Even* birds?!
**[18:07] Kita**
Gotoh-san, you okay?
**[18:10] Hitori**
It's over.
**[18:11] Nijika**
Get lost!
**[18:14] Ryo**
Memorable event achieved.
**[18:16] Kita**
That's not the kind of memorable I wanted!
**[18:19] Nijika**
But we can't stay out too late,
so we really should head out.
**[18:22] Nijika**
Bocchi's in bad shape, anyway.
**[18:25] Kita**
Then how about a shrine visit
before we head home?
***SIGN*** Enoshima Benzaiten
**[18:32] Kita**
This shrine is dedicated to a goddess
called Myo-on Benzaiten.
**[18:37] Kita**
She's the goddess of music
and performing arts.
**[18:40] Kita**
I've always thought we should come here
if we ever went to Enoshima together.
**[18:45] Nijika**
We'll have to wish for
our band's future success!
**[19:00] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan.
**[19:01] Nijika**
You looked like you were wishing
pretty hard back there.
**[19:04] Ryo**
It took forever.
**[19:06] Kita**
What were you wishing for?
**[19:08] Nijika**
I was wishing and thanking her
pretty hard too!
**[19:12] Nijika**
"Goddess, thanks for making
our concert a success.
**[19:15] Nijika**
Keep that good fortune coming!"
**[19:18] Hitori**
R-Really?
**[19:20] Nijika**
Let's get back to practice tomorrow!
**[19:22] Nijika**
Even though we don't have
a next concert scheduled!
**[19:26] Hitori**
*I can't tell them...*
**[19:27] Hitori**
*Please, Goddess!*
**[19:28] Hitori**
*Turn back time to the first day of summer!*
**[19:30] Hitori**
*I'll do anything, just turn back time!*
**[19:32] Hitori**
* Either that, or give me fame and fortune*
* so that I never go hungry!*
**[19:36] Hitori**
*...that I made a really vapid wish!*
**[19:43] Nijika**
It's about an hour from here
to Shimo-Kita, right?
**[19:45] Kita**
Yeah.
**[19:47] Kita**
Gotoh-san, you'll change
trains at Fujisawa, right?
**[19:50] Hitori**
Y-Yes.
**[19:54] Ryo**
Wake me up at Shimo-Kita.
**[19:56] Kita**
Oh, they're hopeless!
**[20:00] Kita**
I really wish we'd gotten to do
some Kamakura sightseeing,
**[20:02] Kita**
and I wish we'd had dinner together, too!
**[20:05] Nijika**
Shirasu-don...
**[20:07] Kita**
She really wanted to eat that, huh?
**[20:12] Hitori**
*My first long trip in a while...*
**[20:14] Hitori**
*That was lots of fun.*
**[20:17] Hitori**
* I almost wish we could've*
* stayed out a little longer.*
**[20:20] Kita**
Okay!
**[20:21] Kita**
Let's spend all of winter break
hanging out as Kessoku Band!
**[20:26] Kita**
Where do you want to go, Gotoh-san?
**[20:28] Kita**
Let's make memories together
every single day!
**[20:30] Hitori**
*I d-don't wanna go outside every day!*
**[20:32] Hitori**
I'll th-think about it...
**[20:34] Kita**
Sure!
**[20:36] Kita**
You can rest if you want, Gotoh-san.
I'll wake you up.
**[20:39] Hitori**
A-Actually, I spent the whole
train ride up here unconscious,
**[20:43] Hitori**
so I'm pretty alert now.
**[20:44] Kita**
Really?
**[20:46] Kita**
Then the fun continues until Fujisawa!
**[20:52] Hitori**
H-Hey... Kita-san?
**[20:56] Hitori**
I e-enjoyed hanging out with you all today.
**[21:01] Hitori**
I th-think I can face school
starting tomorrow.
**[21:05] Hitori**
Probably.
**[21:07] Kita**
Really? I'm glad to hear it!
**[21:10] Kita**
Let's enjoy the new term together, too!
**[21:13] Hitori**
Sure.
**[21:15] Hitori**
* This memory of summer will fuel me*
* through to winter break.*

You'll be late to school your first day back!
**[21:32] Hitori**
Don't feel good. Wanna stay home.

Oh, Hitori-chan. Lying again
just to get out of school!

N-No...

they'd be the coolest person ever!

Totally!

**[04:08] Hitori**
I'm f-fine.
**[04:10] Kita**
I heard you collapsed, so I got worried.
**[04:13] Hitori**
S-Sorry.

N-Nothing...

I'll b-b-be fine!

I'll b-b-be fine!

You're sure?

Well, just take it easy, okay?
**[04:57] Hitori**
*I'd really like to perform,*

***SIGN*** Wah! Squee! So pretty! So cute! Look at me! Waaah! Wahhh!

Hi there!
**[05:41] EC Girl**
And Ryo Yamada, from the same!
**[05:43] Ryo**
Mini-bow.
**[05:44] EC Girl**
And on lead guitar, from Class 2... Um...
**[05:48] EC Girl**
Oh, Gotoh-san!
**[05:50] EC Girl**
And on guitar and vocals, from Class 5,
our school star, Kita-chan!
***SIGN*** So cute! Eee! Squee! Waaaaah! Eee! Eeee! Waaah!

It's Kita-chan!

We love you!
**[05:54] Kita**
Thanks, guys!
***SIGN*** Kita-chan! Kita-chan!
**[05:56] Hitori**
The fervor gap is too intense!
**[06:01] Hitori**
*Yeah. Not happening.*
**[06:04] Hitori**
*I gotta know my place.*
**[06:11] Hitori**
Good morning, Manager.
**[06:13] Seika**
Uh, could you do some work?
**[06:16] Seika**
If you're already on the fence,
I think you should do it.
**[06:19] Seika**
These high school years will
be gone before you know it.
**[06:22] Hitori**
Yeah, maybe...
**[06:23] Seika**
Not that I'd know, since I
barely cared about high school.
**[06:27] PA**
I dropped out!
**[06:29] Hitori**
*I asked the wrong people.*
**[06:29] PA**
I could never drag myself
out of bed in the morning!
**[06:32] Nijika**
Huh?
**[06:32] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan's talking to Sis?
**[06:35] Nijika**
That never happens.
**[06:36] PA**
She's waffling about her culture festival.
**[06:39] Nijika**
Culture festival?
**[06:40] Seika**
She's trying to figure out if
Kessoku Band should perform there.
**[06:44] Nijika**
Performing at a culture festival?
**[06:46] Nijika**
Sounds awesome! Let's do it!
**[06:47] Hitori**
Um... But...
**[06:50] Nijika**
It's fun in a different way
from performing at a club.
**[06:53] Hitori**
Y-You've done it before, Nijika-chan?
**[06:55] Nijika**
Yeah, in middle school.
**[06:58] Ryo**
Same.
**[06:59] Ryo**
I played obscure songs and totally
bombed with the audience!
**[07:02] Nijika**
Why do you sound proud of that?
***SIGN*** SMUGFACE
**[07:04] Nijika**
I've never played with Ryo
at a culture festival, though,
**[07:06] Nijika**
so I'd love to play at this one!
**[07:09] Hitori**
Really?
**[07:10] Nijika**
Well, we only recently formed Kessoku Band.
**[07:13] Ryo**
I'd like to play my original songs
somewhere other than here, too.
**[07:16] Nijika**
Plus, it's a great chance
to advertise ourselves!
**[07:20] Hitori**
But...
**[07:20] Hitori**
Don't you get expelled for playing

Reason for Reprimand
For singing a song with extremely depressing lyrics
at a culture festival intended to hype people up,
the aforementioned is officially expelled
under article 50 of the school code.
**[07:22] Hitori**
something other than seishun rock
at a high school culture festival?
**[07:25] Nijika**
Of course not!
**[07:27] Ryo**
I get why Bocchi's scared, though.
**[07:31] Ryo**
There's a chance—a likelihood, rather—that
you'll be playing in front of a large crowd.
**[07:37] Ryo**
So you don't have to rush to a decision.
**[07:41] Hitori**
Ryo-san...
**[07:42] Ryo**
To be honest, I still have nightmares
about that concert I bombed.
**[07:47] Seika**
So you were just acting strong earlier?
**[07:48] Nijika**
Either way, just make sure
you don't have any regrets, Bocchi-chan.
**[07:53] PA**
Wise words.
**[07:55] Hitori**
G-Got it.
**[07:56] Hitori**
I'll think it over.
**[07:58] Nijika/Ryo**
Right, right!
**[08:02] Hitori**
* Nijika-chan wants to play*
* at the culture festival too.*
**[08:09] Hitori**
*I bet it'd feel pretty darn good...*
**[08:20] Hitori**
*I...*
**[08:22] Hitori**
*I just can't do it!*
**[08:24] Hitori**
*I'm sorry, everyone.*
**[08:26] Hitori**
* I thought I could do it*
* yesterday, but I can't.*
**[08:29] Hitori**
* B-But Nijika-chan told me to make*
* sure I don't have any regrets,*
**[08:33] Hitori**
* and if I blow it, I don't think I could*
* make it through the rest of high school...*
**[08:38] Hitori**
* I'm already nervous*
* about playing in a club.*
**[08:40] Hitori**
* The thought of being*
* on stage at a festival...*
**[08:43] Hitori**
*Yeah, just not happening.*
***SIGN*** Skyrocketing to fame!
Let's look into the members of Kessoku Band!
***SIGN*** The unexpected past of super-popular guitarist
Hitori Gotoh, whose cool personality, skillful playing,
and raw lyrics have captured the hearts of fans!

**[08:51] Classmate A**
*Wow, Gotoh-san was in a band back then?*
**[08:54] Classmate B**
*I should've gotten her autograph!*
**[08:56] Hitori**
*I'll just follow that model instead!*
**[08:59] Hitori**
*I like it.*
**[09:00] Hitori**
* Now that I've got a plan in mind,*
* I don't feel so bad about it.*
**[09:04] Hitori**
*Good work, me!*
**[09:05] Kita**
Gotoh-san!
**[09:07] Kita**
Morning!
**[09:08] Hitori**
G-Good morning...
**[09:10] Kita**
How are you feeling?
**[09:11] Kita**
I got worried and stopped
by the nurse's office again yesterday,
**[09:14] Kita**
but you were already gone.
**[09:15] Hitori**
R-Really? I'm sorry...
**[09:19] Kita**
Oh, and I turned it in.
**[09:22] Kita**
For the culture festival performance!
**[09:24] Kita**
We'll be on stage as Kessoku Band!
**[09:28] Kita**
I just can't wait!
**[09:30] Kita**
The application must've fallen
in the trash can by mistake.
**[09:32] Kita**
What a close call, right?
**[09:34] Kita**
Let's put on the best
culture festival concert ever!
**[09:42] Nijika**
So that's why she's been like that.
**[09:45] Kita**
I was so sure she wanted to do it.
**[09:45] PA**
She seemed very excited yesterday.
**[09:47] Kita**
Wh-What do I do?
***SIGN*** I am a criminal.
**[09:48] Seika**
Right?
**[09:48] Kita**
They're going to label me a murderer!
**[09:51] Ryo**
It's not too late to back out, is it?
**[09:54] Kita**
They said you can't take it back
once you've applied...
**[09:57] Kita**
But I'll talk to them tomorrow.
**[10:00] Kikuri**
Hey-ho! Free booze, please!
**[10:03] Seika**
Hell no. Piss off.
**[10:05] Kikuri**
Aw, c'mon!
**[10:07] Kikuri**
Tell yer sister to be nicer!
**[10:09] Kikuri**
You like havin' me around, right, li'l sis?
**[10:13] Nijika**
Kindly depart. We're about
to open for business.
**[10:16] Kikuri**
You've got a death glare
on par with Senpai's lately.
**[10:20] Kikuri**
Bocchi-chan!
**[10:21] Kikuri**
What's with her? Somethin' on her mind?
**[10:24] Kita**
I volunteered us for the culture
festival against her will.
**[10:27] Kikuri**
What? You gonna play there?
**[10:30] Hitori**
I c-can't do it.
**[10:33] Hitori**
Th-There'd be so many more
people than I'm used to,
**[10:35] Hitori**
a-and I'm s-scared of performing in
front of people who know me at s-school.
**[10:42] Kikuri**
Bocchi-chan.
**[10:44] Kikuri**
For you!
**[10:46] Kikuri**
Payin' you back for before.
**[10:48] Kikuri**
My band's playin' a gig tonight!
**[10:50] Kikuri**
Wanna come see?
**[10:51] Hitori**
C-Can I?
**[10:53] Kikuri**
'Course you can!
**[10:54] Kikuri**
Same goes for all y'all.
**[10:56] Ryo**
Thank you very much.
**[10:57] Nijika**
Let me pay you.
**[10:58] Kita**
Yes, for the tickets.
**[11:00] Kikuri**
Aw, don't go there. It's a gift!
**[11:02] Nijika**
But...
**[11:04] Kita**
Please, let us pay!
**[11:06] Kikuri**
H-Hang on, do you think
I'm some kind of broke rocker
**[11:09] Kikuri**
who's gotta hustle money from teenage girls?
**[11:11] Nijika**
You mean you're not?
**[11:13] Kikuri**
Damn it! Senpai, one bottle of shochu!
**[11:16] Seika**
Like hell, dumbass.
**[11:17] Kikuri**
Anyhoo, it's fine!
**[11:21] Kikuri**
I might not look it, but our band's
pretty popular on the indies circuit!
**[11:26] Kikuri**
Right?
**[11:26] Ryo**
Yes, they have many hardcore fans.
**[11:28] Kikuri**
Which means we make our ticket quotas, easy!
**[11:32] Kikuri**
We even make money on merch!
**[11:33] Nijika**
Then why do you only drink the cheap stuff?
**[11:37] Nijika**
And you use our shower, too.
**[11:39] Seika**
Pay rent.
**[11:41] Hitori**
You never paid me back for your train fare.
**[11:44] Seika**
Sounds like a hustle to me!
**[11:47] Kikuri**
Th-There's a reason for all this...
**[11:49] Kikuri**
All my money goes to paying for the
equipment I break while playing drunk.
**[11:54] Seika**
So it's your own fault.
**[11:56] Seika**
Bocchi-chan, has she borrowed any more
money from you that she hasn't paid back?
**[12:00] Hitori**
N-No... *she* hasn't...
**[12:05] Seika**
Garbage humans.
**[12:06] Seika**
Apologize for your late repayment.
**[12:09] Ryo/Kikuri**
Sorry for our lateness!
**[12:11] Hitori**
I-It's okay...
**[12:17] Kikuri**
Noguchi-sensei... farewell...
**[12:19] Seika**
You really need to cut back.
**[12:22] Seika**
You never used to drink before
you started playing concerts.
**[12:24] Seika**
It can't be good for you.
**[12:26] Kikuri**
C'mon, that's no biggie!
**[12:29] Kikuri**
Now, let's all go to Shinjuku!
**[12:32] Kikuri**
I can't hear you!
**[12:32] Kita**
Do you think she can really play like that?
**[12:34] Kikuri**
You're supposed to say "go!"
**[12:37] Ryo**
Getting to see SICK HACK for free...
**[12:39] Ryo**
My soul is on fire!
**[12:40] Kita**
SICK HACK? Is that the name
of Hiroi-san's band?
**[12:44] Kikuri**
Yep!
**[12:44] Hitori**
* I knew she was good*
* from our street concert...*
**[12:48] Hitori**
* But I don't really know*
* what she sounds like.*
**[12:51] Hitori**
*I'm kind of looking forward to this!*
**[12:56] Hitori**
I v-very much enjoyed the concert...
**[12:58] Hitori**
Thank you for having me...
**[12:59] Nijika**
We're not even at the venue yet!
**[13:02] Kikuri**
Here's my home base, Shinjuku FOLT!
**[13:06] Kikuri**
C'mon in, y'all!
**[13:08] Kita**
The vibe is very different from Starry's...
**[13:11] Nijika**
Hey, no worries. It's the same kind of place.
**[13:14] Hitori**
*It* is *a little scary,*
**[13:16] Hitori**
*but I feel strangely confident.*
**[13:18] Hitori**
*Clubs are the same wherever you—*
**[13:22] Hitori**
Th-Thank you for the wonderful concert!
**[13:25] Nijika**
Seriously, it hasn't started yet!
**[13:27] Hitori**
* I w-was a fool to think*
* I'd grown as a person...*
**[13:27] Nijika**
I'm sure they're nice people
if you talk to them!
**[13:30] Kikuri**
Gin-chan! Mornin'!
**[13:33] Gin-chan**
Yeah?
**[13:35] Nijika**
I m-miss my sister!
**[13:37] Kita**
It's gotten to Ijichi-senpai too!
**[13:40] Kikuri**
This is the manager, Gin-chan!
**[13:44] Nijika**
H-Hello!
**[13:45] Gin-chan**
Oh, gosh, look at all the cute
little buddies you brought!
**[13:49] Gin-chan**
I'm Ginjiro Yoshida, 37 years old!
**[13:52] Gin-chan**
Punk rock's my genre of choice!
**[13:55] Kikuri**
The contrast between how he looks and talks
kinda shorts out your brain, right?
**[13:57] Kikuri**
But don't worry.
**[13:59] Kikuri**
Gin-chan's a nice old guy
with the heart of a pure maiden!
**[14:01] Shima**
Hey, Hiroi.
**[14:03] Kikuri**
Yeah?
**[14:04] Shima**
For the millionth time, don't be late.
**[14:07] Eliza**
Our rehearsal's already over!
**[14:09] Kikuri**
Sorry!
**[14:10] Kikuri**
But it'll all work out, I bet!
**[14:10] Shima**
Are these the members of Kessoku Band?
**[14:13] Nijika**
Y-Yes!
**[14:15] Nijika**
And you're...
**[14:16] Ryo**
She's part of SICK HACK.
**[14:18] Shima**
I'm Shima, the drummer.
**[14:20] Shima**
A pleasure.
**[14:21] Nijika**
It's such a pleasure to meet you!
**[14:23] Shima**
I'm sure our Hiroi's caused
a lot of trouble for you.
**[14:27] Shima**
If this will in any way make up for it...
**[14:27] Hitori**
*Sh-She's so polite!*
**[14:29] Nijika**
Oh, th-thank you!
**[14:29] Hitori**
*Maybe the other band members balance her out?*
**[14:32] Eliza**
I'm Eliza! I lived in England
until I was eighteen.
**[14:36] Eliza**
This is my third year in Japan.
**[14:38] Eliza**
Let's be friends!
**[14:40] Nijika**
You came all the way to
Japan to be in a band?
**[14:42] Nijika**
Do you like J-Rock?
**[14:43] Eliza**
No. Actually, I came to Japan for Comiket!
**[14:47] Eliza**
I really wanna be in an anisong cover band!
**[14:50] Kikuri**
Eliza's always saying anisongs are
Japan's real bleeding-edge sound!
**[14:53] Hitori**
*The three of them are...*
**[14:56] Hitori**
*Balanced?*
**[14:56] Eliza**
I bought this in Asakusa!
**[14:58] Kikuri**
Nice one!
**[14:59] Shima**
Stop now.
**[15:02] Staff**
Here you are.
**[15:03] Kita**
Thank you!
**[15:05] Kita**
Look at all the people!
**[15:07] Nijika**
There's at least two hundred here.
**[15:09] Hitori**
I had no idea her band was this popular...
**[15:12] Nijika**
By the way, where's Ryo?
**[15:14] Kita**
She was with us just minutes ago...
**[15:17] Kita**
Eh?
**[15:18] Kita**
She's sitting over there!
**[15:20] Nijika**
Sh-She's doing...
**[15:22] Nijika**
the club classic: the "I'm not like you
overexcited sheeple" customer!
**[15:27] Ryo**
Take in the sound. The sound!
**[15:30] Kita**
Ryo-senpai.
**[15:31] Kita**
What kind of band is SICK HACK, exactly?
**[15:34] Ryo**
They play psychedelic rock.
**[15:36] Ryo**
A genre that spread in the 1960s as a musical
expression of drug-induced hallucinations
**[15:40] Ryo**
whose influence led to many progressive
rock bands getting their start...
**[15:40] Kita**
I've never seen Senpai talk
so much about anything.
**[15:46] Hitori**
I c-can't wait to hear them.
**[15:48] Kita**
Yeah!
**[15:49] Kita**
I'm kinda interested in psychedelic rock!
**[15:51] Ryo**
Really?
**[15:52] Ryo**
I'll bring all my albums tomorrow.
**[15:55] Ryo**
It's best for a beginner
to start from the second.
**[15:57] Nijika**
Better watch what you say, Kita-chan.
**[16:01] Nijika**
That kind of line will get
you mobbed by fanatics.
**[16:27] Hitori**
*Their band's amazing.*
**[16:33] Hitori**
* The drum's spot-on irregular time*
* signature that keeps you off-balance.*
**[16:38] Hitori**
* The emotional yet overwhelmingly*
* logical playing of the guitar...*
**[16:42] Hitori**
* And the bass forms a wall of sound*
* that supports it all.*
**[16:47] Hitori**
*But the most amazing thing of all...*
**[16:50] Hitori**
*is her overwhelming charisma!*
**[16:58] Hitori**
*For the time they're standing on stage,*
**[17:00] Hitori**
*performers are heroes!*
**[17:02] Hitori**
*A band really is*
**[17:05] Hitori**
*the coolest thing ever!*
**[17:13] Kikuri**
Bocchi-chan! How'd you like my show?
**[17:17] Hitori**
I-It was great.
**[17:20] Nijika**
That was so good!
**[17:21] Kikuri**
Hey, what's got you so down?
**[17:22] Eliza**
Thanks!
**[17:24] Kikuri**
We stunk the place up after all?
**[17:26] Hitori**
N-Not at all.
**[17:28] Hitori**
You really were incredible.
**[17:29] Hitori**
But I... er...
**[17:32] Hitori**
You were really shining up there.
**[17:35] Hitori**
I don't think I could... ever...
**[17:40] Kikuri**
Lemme fill you in here.
**[17:42] Kikuri**
Up to high school, I was the gloomy misfit
sittin' in a corner of the classroom.
**[17:47] Kikuri**
Could ya tell?
**[17:49] Kikuri**
I guess it's true what they say:
gloomy people attract.
**[17:53] Kikuri**
But sometimes I'd imagine what
my future was gonna look like,
**[17:58] Kikuri**
and I'd think, "C'mon, that's lame!"
**[18:02] Kikuri**
I started playing rock
to make my life's course do a 180.
**[18:06] Kikuri**
At first, I was scared stiff of buying a bass
at the music shop or going into a club.
**[18:11] Kikuri**
The whole reason I started drinking was
to chill myself out before our first concert.
**[18:16] Kikuri**
Everyone's scared when they
do something for the first time.
**[18:20] Kikuri**
But you played just fine,
both on the street and at Starry!
**[18:24] Kikuri**
And you didn't even need alcohol to do it!
**[18:26] Hitori**
You mean...
**[18:28] Kikuri**
Have a little faith in yourself!
**[18:30] Kikuri**
And if that's not enough,
have a drink to take the edge off!
**[18:32] Hitori**
I-I'm really too young.
**[18:34] Hitori**
But I'd like you to come to our
culture festival performance.
**[18:43] Kikuri**
Yeah, that's the way!
**[18:47] Gin-chan**
I'm adding 100,000 to your tab
for wall repairs.
**[18:51] Kikuri**
Th-That one's partly Bocchi-chan's fault!
**[18:55] Nijika**
Okay!
**[18:56] Nijika**
Now that the concert's got us all hyped up,
**[18:58] Nijika**
let's plot our culture festival setlist!
**[19:00] Nijika**
Kita-chan said each band
gets fifteen minutes.
**[19:04] Nijika**
So that's about three songs, right?
**[19:06] Kita**
H-Hey...
**[19:07] Kita**
C-Can't I let Ryo-senpai have some of mine?
**[19:09] Nijika**
No!
**[19:10] Nijika**
She needs to learn her lesson
for bumming off of Bocchi-chan for so long.
**[19:15] Ryo**
Ikuyo...
**[19:18] Nijika**
Kita-chan! Don't fall for our
wicked bandmate's tricks!
**[19:21] Nijika**
The three Bs to avoid in a boyfriend are
"bassist, bassist, and bassist," after all!
**[19:26] Ryo**
I'll never borrow money from anyone again.
**[19:29] Nijika**
Then I gift you this.
**[19:36] Ryo**
You're kind, Nijika. I love you.
**[19:38] Nijika**
The legit gratitude is tugging
on my heartstrings, darn it!
**[19:42] Nijika**
Just help yourself already!
**[19:44] Ryo**
I already know our setlist.
**[19:47] Ryo**
I've been thinking it over since
the culture festival came up.
**[19:51] Nijika**
Nice!
**[19:52] Ryo**
We'll put a Bocchi guitar solo
in the second one.
**[19:56] Ryo**
To make sure you shine.
**[19:57] Ryo**
It's your and Ikuyo's
culture festival, remember?
**[20:02] Kita**
But isn't going all-original in the
culture festival a bit aggressive?
**[20:06] Nijika**
So what? Let's be aggressive!
**[20:09] Ryo**
And if we bomb, there's four of us.
**[20:10] Ryo**
We can split the shame four ways.
**[20:12] Nijika**
Ryo, are you trying to push
your trauma on the rest of us?
**[20:15] Hitori**
Guitar solo...
**[20:26] Hitori**
K-Kita-san?
**[20:27] Kita**
G-Gotoh-san...
**[20:34] Kita**
I...
**[20:35] Kita**
I knew you'd thrown out the
culture festival application!
**[20:39] Kita**
But I submitted it anyway.
**[20:41] Kita**
I'm so, so sorry that I lied!
**[20:45] Hitori**
Th-Thank you for doing it.
**[20:49] Hitori**
I w-was pretty freaked out at first,
**[20:53] Hitori**
but now I'm kind of looking forward to it.
**[20:56] Hitori**
Th-That wouldn't have happened
if you hadn't turned in the application.
**[21:01] Hitori**
So I'm really grateful.
**[21:04] Hitori**
Thank you.
**[21:09] Kita**
Gotoh-san, I'm going to work
even harder at practice than ever!
**[21:13] Kita**
So let's make our culture
festival concert a success!
**[21:18] Hitori**
O-Okay.
**[21:21] Kita**
* The truth is, I really wanted Gotoh-san*
* to perform at the culture festival.*
**[21:28] Kita**
*Because Gotoh-san is...*
**[21:30] Kita**
Ryo-senpai!
**[21:32] Kita**
Would you be willing to coach me
on guitar after work?
**[21:35] Ryo**
Isn't Bocchi coaching you?
**[21:37] Kita**
Gotoh-san has her own practice to focus on.
**[21:40] Kita**
I want to practice and get better too!
**[21:44] Nijika**
You heard her.
**[21:45] Nijika**
Humor her, okay?
**[21:47] Ryo**
My lessons don't come cheap.
**[21:49] Kita**
Okay!
**[21:51] Nijika**
How come Bocchi-chan's not with you today?
**[21:54] Kita**
Well... she's got make-up lessons...

That's also normal omurice.

**[09:59] Hitori**
It's... normal omurice.
**[10:02] Nijika**
So it's all the same thing

**[13:59] Nijika**
C'mon!
**[14:01] Nijika**
We gotta go practice!
**[14:02] Ryo**
Waaaagh...
**[14:04] Kita**
But first, could we do one thing?
**[14:12] Kita**
I wanted to get a look
at our venue before we left!
**[14:16] Nijika**
Wow, what a pretty gym!
**[14:20] Ryo**
The max occupancy must be around a thousand.
**[14:22] Kita**
I doubt we'll get that
many people, of course...
**[14:25] Kita**
But I sure hope we get a lot!
**[14:28] Hitori**

*I'll be standing up there tomorrow...*
**[14:42] Hitori**
*Together with Kessoku Band!*
**[14:51] Nijika**
I've been thinking, Bocchi-chan...
**[14:53] Nijika**
Your guitar's pretty old, isn't it?
**[14:57] Ryo**
I noticed that too!
**[14:58] Ryo**
The frets are rusty,
plus the hairline cracks...
**[15:00] Ryo**
It's a well-used vintage item, right?
**[15:02] Ryo**
It could sell for quite a lot—
**[15:02] Nijika**
Stop putting a price on everything.
**[15:05] Hitori**
Um, I'm borrowing the one my dad used
when he was younger...
**[15:10] Hitori**
So I guess it is pretty old.
**[15:12] Nijika**
He's coming with your family tomorrow, right?
**[15:14] Hitori**
Y-Yeah...
**[15:16] Hitori**
He couldn't make it to our concert
because of the storm,
**[15:18] Hitori**
but he was pretty excited.
**[15:19] Hitori**
He even bought a camcorder!
**[15:19] Futari**
Vibes in the house!
**[15:22] Nijika**
I can totally imagine it!
**[15:25] Kita**
My friends sent me a LOINE message about
how much they're looking forward to it!
**[15:29] Nijika**
All the more reason to give it our best!
**[15:31] Hitori**
Y-Yeah, guess so!
**[15:33] Nijika**
Oh, right...
**[15:34] Nijika**
What kind of MCing should
I do for tomorrow's concert?
**[15:36] Kita**
Introduce us, the songs,
and add a little commentary, I guess?
**[15:41] Hitori**
Th-That sounds good to me.
**[15:43] Nijika**
Well, what we do now is fine...
**[15:46] Nijika**
But I thought a little funny MCing
like popular bands do might be fun.
**[15:52] Ryo**
Band MCing is never funny.
**[15:55] Ryo**
Fans just laugh along to humor them.
***SIGN*** Opinions expressed are solely Yamada's
**[15:59] Nijika**
Way too harsh!
**[16:00] Ryo**
Once we get popular, even your lousiest
MCing will pick up big laughs.
**[16:04] Ryo**
Don't worry.
**[16:06] Nijika**
Is that a reassurance or a diss?!
**[16:08] Hitori**
*Break-up imminent!*
**[16:10] Kita**
Now, now!
**[16:10] Kita**
No fighting!
**[16:12] Kita**

**[16:14] Nijika**
Right, sorry. Let's do it!
**[16:17] Nijika**
Okay, here we go!
**[16:28] Nijika**
Sounds great!
**[16:28] Hitori**
*Huh?*
**[16:29] Ryo**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Kita**
That was wonderful!
**[16:30] Hitori**
*Kita-san's kind of...*
**[16:34] Kita**
What's the matter, Gotoh-san?
**[16:36] Hitori**
Oh, I thought...
**[16:38] Hitori**
I just really hope people enjoy our concert!
**[16:41] Kita**
Yeah, I know they will!
**[16:44] Ryo**
That's good. Be confident.
**[16:46] Nijika**
We're counting on you, Bocchi-chan!
**[16:49] Kita**
We all need to have self-confidence.

Oh, I doubt that...

And days when I couldn't say
more than "You know..."

Thank you!
**[02:28] Kita**
That was our first song,
"I Will Never Forget!"
**[02:33] Hitori**
*I can't believe how enthusiastic they are.*
**[02:35] Audience**
Kita-chan!
**[02:36] Hitori**
*But...*
**[02:37] Audience**
You were so cute!
**[02:40] Kita**
Now, before we play our next song...
**[02:42] Kita**
Let's have a few words from
Kessoku Band's leader:
**[02:44] Kita**
our drummer and my senpai, Nijika Ijichi!
**[02:48] Nijika**
Nice to meet you, everyone!
**[02:50] Nijika**
Are you having a good time?!
**[02:53] Seika**
They've worked pretty hard.
**[02:55] Kikuri**
Yeah...
**[02:57] Kikuri**
But Bocchi-chan...
**[02:58] Nijika**
Our esteemed bassist, Ryo Yamada,
**[03:01] Nijika**
told me that any MCing I did for
Kessoku Band would be a flop,
**[03:04] Nijika**
and at first I thought, "How dare you!"
**[03:06] Nijika**
But until I learn to be
entertaining with this stuff,
**[03:08] Nijika**
I figured I'd stick to concert announcements!
**[03:11] Nijika**
Of course, I don't actually know
when our next concert'll be...
**[03:15] Nijika**
But if you wanna see more,
just hit up our vocalist, Kita-chan,
**[03:18] Kita's Friend A/B**
Kita-chan!
**[03:19] Nijika**
or our guitarist, Bo—
Hitori Gotoh, when you can!
**[03:25] Audience**
Hitori-chan!
**[03:28] Nijika**
Anyway, let's move on to the next song!
**[03:30] Kita**
Right!
**[03:32] Kita**
Please lend us your ears!
**[03:34] Kita**
Our next song is
"To Become a Constellation..."!
**[04:21] Hitori**
*Yeah, something's not right.*
**[04:24] Hitori**
*It's been fine this whole time,*
**[04:27] Hitori**
*but now I can't get the E string in tune...*
**[04:42] Hitori**
*The E string!*
**[04:44] Hitori**
*Not good...*
**[04:45] Hitori**
* But if I can at least get*
* the B string in tune...*
**[04:49] Hitori**
*The peg's broken!*
**[04:50] Kikuri**
*She can't use the B string now.*
**[04:53] Kikuri**
*She won't be able to do her solo.*
**[04:55] Hitori**
*What'll I do?*
**[04:56] Hitori**
*My solo's coming up...*
**[04:58] Hitori**
* If our big culture festival performance*
* fails because I had equipment trouble...*

**[05:28] Boy Student A**
What's their guitarist doing?
**[05:30] Boy Student B**
Dunno, but it's pretty awesome!
**[05:33] Seika**
Who whips out the bottleneck
playing at a time like this?
**[05:36] Kikuri**
Now it won't matter
if she's a little out of tune!
**[07:18] Nijika**
Well... I wasn't going to
say anything before our last song,
**[07:24] Nijika**
but please let me say one thing!
**[07:27] Nijika**
Thanks so much for having us today!
**[07:31] Nijika**
We're gonna try our best
to become so good,
**[07:34] Nijika**

about having seen us here!
**[07:36] Girl Student 1**
Awesome!

**[07:39] Boy Student C**
You were great, Whatever-san!
**[07:43] Girl Student 3**
You did good
even when your string broke!
**[07:46] Kita**
Hey, Gotoh-san!

H-Hey, it's fine!
**[08:55] Hitori**
*It's all over.*
**[09:02] Kita**
Are you all right, Gotoh-san?
**[09:04] Kita**
Are you conscious?
**[09:07] Hitori**
Y-Yeah...
**[09:09] Kita**
Thank goodness.
**[09:10] Kita**
Looks like it wasn't too bad.
**[09:12] Hitori**
Um...
**[09:14] Hitori**
I'm really sorry I ruined everything.
**[09:18] Hitori**
After all you did...
**[09:19] Kita**
Actually, I think people liked it even more.
**[09:24] Hitori**
Um... Where are the others?
**[09:26] Kita**
They're cleaning up now.
**[09:28] Kita**
They said we'd have an after-party
if you were feeling well enough.
**[09:31] Kita**
But if you aren't, we can save it for later.
**[09:33] Hitori**
R-Right...
**[09:35] Hitori**
Oh, that was a surprise.
**[09:38] Hitori**
Kita-san. You got so good so fast.
**[09:44] Kita**
Only for rhythm, of course.
**[09:48] Hitori**
Um...
**[09:49] Kita**
I can't do the kind of playing
that really draws people in.
**[09:55] Kita**
But I seem to be pretty good
at the give-and-take with you guys.
**[10:00] Kita**
I'm gonna keep working on my playing,
so please keep teaching me.
**[10:04] Kita**
Gotoh-sa—
**[10:06] Kita**
Hitori-chan.
**[10:08] Hitori**
R-Right!

Okay, I'm off!

**[11:04] Hitori**
Forgive me, Father!
**[11:07] Futari**
What're you doing, Sis?
**[11:10] Hitori**
I broke the guitar Dad lent me
while we were playing!
**[11:14] Naoki**
P-Please, get up! I'm really not mad!
**[11:17] Naoki**
Please?
**[11:18] Naoki**
It's just a broken peg, right?
**[11:20] Naoki**
It's really not that big a deal.
**[11:22] Hitori**
But...
**[11:23] Naoki**
Plus, it was pretty rad the way
you broke it in the middle of the concert!
**[11:28] Naoki**
Nowadays, they sell guitars
designed to break.
**[11:32] Naoki**
You should use one of those in your next gig!
**[11:33] Hitori**
* What kind of daughter*
* are you trying to raise?*
**[11:36] Naoki**
Anyway, this is probably a good opportunity
for you to buy your own guitar.
**[11:38] Futari**
Play with me, Dad!
**[11:41] Michiyo**
What a good idea!
**[11:42] Futari**
C'mon, Dad!
**[11:43] Naoki**
That way, if you hit an issue like this again,
you can deal with it right away.
**[11:47] Hitori**
But... Even though I do have a job,
all the money goes to my quotas.
**[11:51] Hitori**
I can't afford...
**[11:53] Naoki**
No worries!
**[11:54] Naoki**
You've got money!
**[11:57] Hitori**
Wh-Where'd it all come from?
**[12:00] Hitori**
Dad, are you involved
in some shady dealings?!
**[12:02] Hitori**
I c-can't accept your dirty money!
**[12:05] Naoki**
We're not *that* badly off!
**[12:07] Michiyo**
That's money you earned from
advertisements on your videos.
**[12:13] Naoki**
See, if a video gets enough views,
they pay you.
**[12:18] Naoki**
Did you forget the video site account
you use is a family account?
**[12:22] Hitori**
You mean, my videos...
**[12:24] Naoki**
We know all about 'em!
**[12:26] Naoki**
guitarhero, right?
**[12:28] Naoki**
They've been racking up the views,
so I monetized 'em in secret.
**[12:33] Naoki**
How'd my girl get so good?!
**[12:36] Naoki**
I figured you'd need the money eventually.
**[12:40] Naoki**
And it's been amazing
to see you work so hard
**[12:42] Naoki**
and get better and better at the guitar.
**[12:47] Naoki**
Right, dear?
**[12:48] Michiyo**
Yes.
**[12:50] Michiyo**
I don't know much about music,
**[12:52] Michiyo**
but I do think you're amazing at it!
**[12:55] Hitori**
Dad... Mom...

This song's been a big hit
with all my friends lately!
I sing this all the time at karaoke!
The chorus gets everyone sooo hype!
o(^v^)o
My boyfriend loves this song!
**[12:58] Naoki**
Of course, it's balanced out
**[13:00] Naoki**
by my sadness at seeing you
get better and better at lying...
**[13:03] Hitori**
*Barf!*
**[13:08] Hitori**
*There's 300,000 yen here.*
**[13:11] Hitori**
*I never imagined getting such a windfall.*
**[13:16] Hitori**
* If I buy a guitar that costs 100k,*
* I'll have 200k left...*
**[13:21] Hitori**
*And if I put that all to quota costs,*
**[13:23] Hitori**
* I could play for almost two years*
* without having to work a normal job!*
**[13:26] Hitori**
*Yes!*
**[13:27] Hitori**
*I'm totally quitting!*
**[13:32] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan's been unusually chipper today.
**[13:35] Kita**
And she bows at me
every time we make eye contact.
**[13:42] Hitori**
* The thought of quitting my job fills me*
* with a mysterious and overwhelming power!*
**[13:47] Hitori**
*Time to talk to the manager now!*
**[13:51] Nijika**
Ultra super Bocchi-chan?
**[13:53] Seika**
What's this about your job?
**[13:55] Hitori**
I... W-Well... S-See...
**[13:58] Hitori**
I'll continue to work my hardest
and most earnestly at it.
**[14:02] Seika**
What's with the sudden
declaration of commitment?
**[14:04] Hitori**
* There's nothing harder than*
* declaring you're gonna quit a job.*
**[14:08] Hitori**
*Maybe I should ghost them...*
**[14:09] Hitori**
* But they do know where I li—*
* Uh, I mean, I don't want to put them out...*
**[14:13] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan!
**[14:15] Nijika**
You're going to the
music shop today, right?
**[14:17] Hitori**
* Maybe if I buy an instrument*
* for the manager, she'll let me quit!*
**[14:21] Hitori**
*I've got lots of money now, after all!*
**[14:21] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan?
**[14:23] Hitori**
H-Hey... Could you ask the manager
if there's anything she wants?
**[14:28] Nijika**
Bocchi-chan asked that.
**[14:30] Nijika**
Since your birthday's coming up,
maybe she's talking about a present?
**[14:33] Seika**
I don't want anything.
**[14:35] Nijika**
She says no thanks!
**[14:37] Hitori**
I'm finished.
**[14:38] Ryo**
Bocchi. I'd like a Dingwall and new Le Fay
headless and a Darkglass amp head.
**[14:43] Kita**
We're heading to the music shop, everyone!
**[14:45] Nijika**
Let's la go!
**[14:47] Seika**
Bocchi-chan's really nice.
**[14:47] PA**
Have fun!
**[14:50] Seika**
But I prefer my presents to be a surprise.

If you wanna buy an instrument,

Hey, Hitori-chan!
**[15:00] Kita**
Do you know why there are
so many music shops here?
**[15:03] Ryo**
Well, you see...
**[15:05] Ryo**
The music business flourished here
due to it playing host in the Meiji Period
**[15:07] Ryo**
to Japan's oldest professional orchestra,
leading to the formation
**[15:10] Ryo**
of now-legacy stores in Ochanomizu
like Shimokura Music,

Ishibashi Music, and etc etc,
blah blah, yada yada...
**[15:15] Nijika**

Let's go in here! It's got a great selection!

*I'd really rather not.*
**[15:23] Hitori**
*I was gonna just buy one online, but...*
**[15:26] (Flashback) Nijika**
Ordering online is fine and all,
**[15:28] (Flashback) Nijika**
but you really oughta handle
a guitar before you buy it!

M-Manager! A major headbanger

**[15:56] Manager**
Must be a hardcore metal fan!
**[15:59] Employee**
Ma'am! The heavy metal guitars
are on the second floor!
**[16:04] Kita**
What a cute strap!
**[16:06] Nijika**
This color would look great
with your guitar, Kita-chan!
**[16:11] Kita**
Look at all the kinds of picks!
**[16:14] Kita**
Maybe I'll turn some into earrings!
**[16:16] Nijika**
What a great idea!
**[16:17] Employee**
What's the matter, ma'am? Ma'am?
**[16:18] Kita**
Can we stop by a hobby shop after this?
**[16:20] Kita**
Plus, I checked in advance and found out
there's a nice café nearby!
**[16:21] Employee**
Ma'am?!
**[16:24] Ryo**
Look at the damn instruments.
**[16:29] Ryo**
Excuse me.
**[16:30] Ryo**
Can I try out this bass?
**[16:32] Employee**
Go ahead.
**[16:34] Kita**
You're buying another, Senpai?
**[16:36] Ryo**
No.
**[16:37] Ryo**
I just like how it looks,
so I'd like to play it a bit.
**[16:41] Ryo**
Ah, is slapping okay?
**[16:43] Employee**
Yes, that's fine.
**[16:45] Ryo**
Like this.
**[16:45] Nijika**
Is she going to do *that*?
**[16:54] Ryo**
Amazing.
**[16:56] Ryo**
I didn't even go that hard.
**[16:59] Ryo**
What a great bass!
**[17:01] Nijika**
When you go all-out but act smug about it!
**[17:03] Nijika**
Not that I mind.
**[17:07] Ryo**
What is it, Ikuyo?
**[17:08] Ryo**
You like that guitar?
**[17:10] Kita**

you lent me, after all!

**[17:27] Nijika**
M-Maybe I'll buy a guitar and a bass myself!
**[17:33] Nijika**
Just to play, darn it!
**[17:34] Ryo**
I see. Were you feeling lonely?
**[17:37] Nijika**
Let's hit up a drum shop next time!
**[17:39] Nijika**
There's one in Akiba.
**[17:40] Hitori**
*This one's cool...*
**[17:42] Manager**
Yamaha's pretty great, huh?
**[17:44] Manager**
That one's custom-made, too.
**[17:46] Manager**
It's a really great guitar,
especially for the price!
**[17:49] Manager**
Would you like to try it out?
**[17:52] Hitori**
Um... Um...
**[17:53] Manager**
If it's your first guitar, you might
want shielding and a mini amp!
**[17:58] Hitori**
I...
**[18:01] Hitori**
I'll take the lot.
**[18:02] Nijika**
You already have that stuff, Bocchi-chan!
**[18:03] Manager**
Oh, you already play? I'm so sorry!
**[18:07] Kita**
Hey, that's okay.
**[18:09] Kita**
Her guitar broke recently,
**[18:12] Kita**
so she's looking for a replacement.
**[18:15] Kita**

Oh, really?
**[18:25] Kita**
You like this guitar, Hitori-chan?
**[18:28] Kita**
Right. Right.
**[18:31] Kita**
She'll take this guitar, please!
**[18:33] Kita**
Right, Hitori-chan?
**[18:34] Manager**
Thank you so much!
**[18:36] Ryo**
Bocchi's like a ventriloquist dummy.
**[18:38] Nijika**
I thought she'd matured a lot lately,
**[18:41] Nijika**
But I guess she still
has some ways to go.
**[18:43] Manager**
I'm so glad.
**[18:45] Manager**
I've been doing checks and
maintenance on this guitar myself.
**[18:49] Manager**
It's really well made. I like it a lot.
**[18:53] Manager**
I'm sure the guitar's happy
that it's going with you, too.
**[18:59] Manager**
Thank you for coming!
**[19:03] Hitori**
Th-Thank you for having me!
**[19:04] Manager**
M-Ma'am?!
**[19:05] Manager**
You forgot your guitar!
**[19:06] Nijika**
How desperate was she to get out of here?
**[19:10] Nijika**
Here!
**[19:11] Nijika**
The manager wants you
to come by again some time.
**[19:14] Hitori**
R-Right. Sorry...
**[19:17] Kita**
I'm really glad you found a good guitar!
**[19:19] Hitori**
R-Right.
**[19:20] Nijika**
What now? Wanna grab food first?
**[19:23] Ryo**
We're done.
**[19:25] Nijika**
Got something else to do?
**[19:26] Ryo**
Bocchi. You want to play your guitar
as soon as possible, right?
**[19:31] Kita**
Hey! Stop having a telepathic
connection, you two!
**[19:34] Nijika**
Hey, it's no big deal.
**[19:36] Kita**
I know!
**[19:38] Kita**
Want to rent a studio
and try out your new guitar?
**[19:42] Hitori**
Ah, I'd rather not...
**[19:44] Nijika**
We'll all get to practice
together tomorrow, anyway.
**[19:46] Nijika**
We'll save the fun for then!
**[19:48] Hitori**
R-Right.
**[19:50] Nijika**
The culture festival is behind us.
**[19:52] Nijika**
We'd better start thinking
about our next concert, right?
**[19:55] Kita**
That's right!
**[19:56] Nijika**
Write us lots of new songs, Ryo!
**[19:58] Ryo**
Just waiting for inspiration to strike.
**[20:00] Kita**
Let me know if there's anything I can do!
**[20:04] Ryo**
*Anything*?
**[20:05] Nijika**
Kita-chan! Don't say that to Ryo
unless you're ready to follow through!
**[20:09] Ryo**
You can start by treating me to gyudon.
**[20:13] Futari**
