[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!
[00:51] Hitori
My eyes!
[00:52] Hitori
N-Nothing.
[00:53] Hitori
Her eager self-improvement power
is too bright to look directly at!
[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...

Nothing's coming to mind!
[04:56] Hitori
What do I... What do I...
[04:56] Nijika
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
"Band-like"?

[06:28] Hitori
Let's get organized.
[06:30] Hitori
Kita-san's gonna be singing this song.
[06:32] Hitori
Cheerful lyrics.
[06:34] Hitori
A seishun song, maybe?
[06:35] Kita
Kit-aura!
[06:36] Hitori
I could easily write depressing lyrics,
of course...
[06:39] Kita
Kit-aura!
[06:41] Hitori
Nobody wants that,
[06:43] Hitori
so I've gotta write something band-like,
with real Kit-aura!
[06:46] Hitori
Put yourself in the mind
of cheery person!
[06:50] Hitori
I'm an extrovert!
[06:53] Hitori
The woman who surfs in the pool at night!
[06:56] Hitori
The woman who claims the title Queen of Woot!
[06:59] Hitori
Woot! Woot! Woot!
[07:01] Hitori
Woot! Go! Go!
[07:03] Hitori
Let's get some vibes up in here!
[07:05] Hitori
Tequila shots in the house!
[07:07] Hitori
No! That's not a cheery person,
[07:09] Hitori
it's just a party animal!
[07:13] Hitori
No more shortcuts.
[07:14] Hitori
You must become Kita-san.
[07:18] Hitori
Come over now if you wanna go to Shibuya!
[07:21] Hitori
Everyone takes Isstaworthy pics right here!
[07:23] Hitori
They'll be launching fireworks in ten mins,
so let's take pictures together then!

Let's try a song of encouragement.
[07:43] Hitori
I personally find status-quo-affirming
lyrics annoyingly irresponsible, but...
SIGN we're all here
SIGN sending you
SIGN Your dreams will come true
SIGN Believe in yourself
[08:11] Hitori
It's so shallow...
[08:13] Hitori
Any depressed person hearing this song
would just drop deeper into despair!
[08:23] Hitori
F-F-Forgive me!
[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!

they're mean to me...
[16:09] Hitori
O-Or worse, if they're
obviously humoring me, I...
[16:14] Hitori
M-Maybe I should show it to

[16:34] Hitori
I've never been to a real
restaurant by myself.
[16:37] Hitori
I can't even enter a convenience store
without psyching myself up in advance.
SIGN Congrats on opening
[16:41] Hitori
A-Am I allowed to just walk in?
[16:43] Hitori
How do people just walk into places?
[16:45] Hitori
How do they do it on TV and stuff?
[16:47] Hitori
Oh, I know!
[16:49] Hitori
Are ya winning, diners?
[16:52] Ryo
Oh, Bocchi.
[16:53] Ryo
Over here.
[17:02] Hitori
Th-This is awkward.
[17:04] Hitori
Come to think of it, I've never
been alone with Ryo-san before.
[17:08] Hitori
I don't even know much about her.
[17:10] Hitori
F-For that matter, why hasn't
she talked to me yet?
[17:13] Ryo
That was delicious.
[17:15] Hitori
She finished eating!
[17:16] Hitori
What do I do? Should I initiate?
[17:19] Hitori
But...
[17:20] Hitori
That photo shoot sure was fun, huh?!
[17:22] Ryo
Not really.
[17:24] Hitori
That could be the result!
[17:39] Ryo
Just show me the lyrics.
[17:40] Hitori
Oh, right.
[17:41] Hitori
Thank you.
[17:43] Ryo
No problem. Let's see.
[17:45] Ryo
Oh, ohh!
[17:46] Hitori
She's unusually flustered!
[17:48] Ryo
This is good.
[17:51] Hitori
I'm not sure I agree,
but for the band's sake...
[17:54] Hitori
Yes, it's a masterpiece.

SIGN This
one!
SIGN Hitori
[17:58] Ryo
Though personally I think one
is a bit childish for a band.
[18:02] Hitori
That's not the right page!
[18:09] Ryo
Are you personally satisfied
with these lyrics, Bocchi?
[18:12] Hitori
Oh, w-well...
[18:14] Hitori
I figured we should do something
really "hit band"-like...
SIGN m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
SIGN Can't do it anymore
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.
[21:51] Hitori
I'm going to do my best...
[21:54] Hitori
I hope the band can
stay together forever...
[21:58] Hitori
and I can get lots of
pictures with everyone.
[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 #05 Flightless Fish
[23:38] Ryo
