[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...

[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"?

    I couldn't think of anything!

    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!

    Okay, no seishun songs.
[07:41] Hitori
    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!

    O-Or worse, if they're

    M-Maybe I should show it to

    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.

[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.
