[02:27] Kita
    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...
[05:03] Hitori
    What do I do?
[05:04] Hitori
    What do I do, what do I do,
    what do I do, what do I do?!
[05:14] Hitori
    Kita-san...
[05:16] Hitori
    She's ad-libbing completely on the fly!
[05:19] Kita
    I'm going to make sure everyone can see...
[05:20] Kita
    how amazingly cool Gotoh-san really is!
[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
    that one day you'll brag
    about having seen us here!
[07:36] Girl Student 1
    Awesome!
[07:37] Girl Student 2
    Budokan-bound!
[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!
[07:47] Kita
    Looks like you've gotta say something!
[07:54] Hitori
    P-People with social anxiety can't talk
    without a pre-arranged script!
SIGN    Go! Go!
    Hitori
[07:59] Hitori
    If you put me in this unplanned situation...
[08:04] Hitori
    Say something funny. Something funny.
[08:07] Hitori
    Something... Something... funny...
[08:11] Kita
    Gotoh-san?
SIGN    Kessoku Band
[08:34] Kita
    Gotoh-san?!
[08:35] Nijika
    You okay, Bocchi-chan?!
[08:35] CF Staff
    Someone call a teacher!
[08:37] Ryo
    You're a legendary rock star!
[08:40] Kikuri
    Bocchi-chan rocks!
[08:42] Seika
    At least show a little concern!
[08:43] Nijika
    Seriously!
[08:45] CF Staff
    Someone bring a stretcher!
[08:46] Naoki
    Hitori! You okay?!
[08:48] Futari
    I'm sorry about my sister.
[08:50] Nijika
    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!
[10:09] Kita
    Okay, I'm off!
[10:10] Kita
    Come by when you're ready!
[10:12] Hitori
    R-Right...
[10:27] Kita
    I'm going to become good enough
    to support Hitori-chan.
[10:32] Announcer
    The 31st Annual Shuka High School
    Culture Festival will now come to an end.
[10:32] Kikuri
    After-party! After-party!

[10:49] Boy Student D
    Hey, it's the stage diver.
[10:51] Boy Student E
    Oh, the crazy rocker chick?
[10:57] Hitori
    Some day...
[10:59] Hitori
    Some day, I will quit high school!
[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...
SIGN    guitarhero
    
    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,

[14:59] Kita
    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,
[15:13] Ryo
    Ishibashi Music, and etc etc,
    blah blah, yada yada...
[15:15] Nijika
    I bet we'll be seeing a lot of this today.
[15:18] Nijika
    Let's go in here! It's got a great selection!
[15:20] Hitori
    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!
[15:31] (Flashback) Hitori
    R-Right...
[15:32] Hitori
    Music store owners are scary,
    and if one were to start talking to me...
[15:37] Daydream Manager
    You like that guitar?
    You got good taste, dearie.
[15:40] Daydream Manager
    You like Western music?
[15:42] Daydream Manager
    Wait, you don't?!
[15:43] Daydream Manager
    Time to die!
[15:46] Hitori
    If I put on headphones
    like I'm listening to music,
[15:48] Hitori
    maybe no one will talk to me!
[15:53] Employee
    M-Manager! A major headbanger
    has entered the store!
[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
    No, it's not like that...
[17:13] Kita
    I've still got the guitar
    you lent me, after all!
[17:17] Ryo
    You can never have too many guitars.
[17:19] Nijika
    They're all having so much fun.
[17:24] Nijika
    Is this the lonely drummer thing
    I see in manga all the time?
[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
    Right, Hitori-chan?
[18:18] Manager
    Lots of people have multiples nowadays.
    Even students!
[18:23] 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
    Sis! Hurry up or you'll be late!
[20:22] Hitori
    A-Awesome...
[20:28] Hitori
    I'm s-sorry! I haven't f-forgotten you!
