[00:01] EC Girl
    Emergency! Emergency!
[00:02] EC Girl
    The band we had scheduled can't perform!
[00:03] EC Boy
    Are you kidding?!
[00:05] EC Girl B
    How will we find a replacement?
[00:07] Hitori
    Perhaps I could be of some assistance?
[00:09] EC Boy
    Y-You're...
[00:10] EC Boy
    I forget the name,
    but the girl from Class 2—
[00:14] Hitori
    The name's Gotoh.

    Gotoh-sama!

    ...six votes for a haunted house,
[00:37] Classmate C
    and two votes for a candy shop.
[00:39] Hitori
    How long have I been out?
[00:41] Hitori
    I think I was in homeroom, and they started
    talking about festival project ideas...
[00:45] Hitori
    It's no use.
[00:46] Hitori
    Everything after the word
    "unity" came up is a blank.
[00:47] Classmate C
    Okay! So by majority vote,
[00:49] Classmate C
    Class 2's project will be
    a maid and butler cafe!
[00:53] Classmate X
    We'll have to get lots of maid uniforms!
[00:55] Hitori
    M-Maid?
[00:56] Classmate Y
    Since all the girls'll be wearing them!
[00:58] Hitori
    All the girls?!
[01:00] Hitori
    Does that include... me?
[01:02] Hitori
    N-No way!
[01:03] Hitori
    Too far outside my skill set!

[01:12] Hitori
    Crud, that was close.
[01:14] Hitori
    I almost spaced out again.

    I never got to do it in middle school.
[01:33] Hitori
    But I daydreamed about it a thousand times,
    so same thing, right?
[01:38] (Flashback) Hitori
    You feelin' the hype, arena?
[01:41] Hitori
    Besides, I play in real venues now!
[01:43] Hitori
    My band's not for fun and games!
[01:45] Hitori
    It's serious business!

    If someone from our class played,
    they'd be the coolest person ever!

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

    What's the matter?
[04:18] Hitori
    N-Nothing...
[04:20] Hitori
    Wh-What do I do?
[04:21] Hitori
    If I tell Kita-san, she'll get

    I-I'll head to work after a little more rest.

[04:48] Kita
    Well, just take it easy, okay?
[04:57] Hitori
    I'd really like to perform,
[04:59] Hitori
    but I've barely done a real concert,
    so it's still really scary.
[05:05] Hitori
    Although...
[05:06] Hitori
    Now that I think about it,
[05:07] Hitori

[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...

    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.

[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.

[09:08] 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!

    I just can't wait!

    What a close call, right?

    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

[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.

    Please, let us pay!

    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?

    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...

    I-It's okay...

    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.

[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.

    kinda shorts out your brain, right?
[13:57] Kikuri
    But don't worry.
[13:59] Kikuri
    Gin-chan's a nice old guy

    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...
