[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
    if I'm in a band!
[02:08] Hitori
    I've made up my mind.
[02:10] Hitori

    Hello?

[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!

    Oh, nothing!

    Please, don't let her think she
    made a mistake choosing me!
[11:53] Nijika
    I might've made a mistake choosing her...

    We're here!

    This is the place!

    Th-The dark lands?

    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

    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

[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
    guitarhero...

    M-Me?!
[17:12] Nijika
    I'll send you a link if you haven't!
[17:15] Nijika
    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.

[18:51] Hitori
    How you feelin' tonight, Shimo-Kita?!
[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,
