[00:37] Mafuyu
    I keep having the same dream...
[00:40] Mafuyu
    over and over again.
[00:50] PA
    Thank you for waiting.
[00:51] PA
    The ten-car rapid express bound for
    Shinjuku is now arriving at platform 3.

[00:52] Girl
    Hey, look at this.
[00:54] Girl
    Oh, man...
[00:55] Girl
    Isn't it cool?
[00:57] Mafuyu
    Over and over...
[00:57] PA
    Its next stop is Shin-Yurigaoka.
[01:13] PA
    The rapid express bound for
    Shinjuku is now departing.
[01:15] PA
    Please stay clear of the closing doors.
[01:17] PA
    The doors are now closing.
[01:30] Mafuyu
    I'm not lonely...
[01:44] Guy
    Uenoyama, wanna go buy some bread?
[01:50] Ritsuka
    Nah. Too tired.
[01:52] Guy
    Aw...
[01:54] Guy
    Wanna play some basketball, then?
[02:00] Ritsuka
    I'm gonna take a nap.
[02:01] Guy
    Again?!
[03:27] Mafuyu
    Who are you?
[03:29] Ritsuka
    The name's Uenoyama...
[03:38] Ritsuka
    Seriously... Say something, would you?!
[03:41] Ritsuka
    Use your damn words! You're creepy as hell!
[03:44] Ritsuka
    And your strings are rusty!
     That's why one of 'em broke!
[03:47] Ritsuka
    Fix it already!
[03:49] Ritsuka
    Why do you own a Gibson
    if you can't even mainta—
[03:52] Ritsuka
    Wha...
[03:53] Mafuyu
    This can be fixed?
[03:55] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[03:56] Mafuyu
    It can be fixed?
[03:57] Ritsuka
    Of course it can! And back off, would ya?!
[04:00] Mafuyu
    Really?
[04:03] Mafuyu
    Could you fix it fast?
[04:05] Ritsuka
    Well... yeah...
[04:07] Mafuyu
    Could you fix it now?
[04:08] Ritsuka
    Uh... Probably not right now.
[04:11] Ritsuka
    I don't have the tools.
[04:25] Ritsuka
    Would you stop looking like the whole
     world ended over a broken string?!
[04:30] Ritsuka
    Now I feel bad, like I got your hopes up
    just so they could crash back down!
[04:33] Ritsuka
    Gimme back my naptime, damn it!
[04:39] Ritsuka
    Be happier! Praise me!
    And pay me for the damn strings!
[04:45] Ritsuka
    Not yet!
[04:46] Ritsuka
    Hold your horses, newbie.
[05:04] Mafuyu
    Hey!
[05:06] Mafuyu
    Please teach me how to play that thing.
[05:11] Ritsuka
    It all started with that chord I played.
[05:15] Ritsuka
    I had no idea that I was strumming hard
    on his heartstrings with my own fingers.
[05:22] Ritsuka
    Uh... I need to tune it first...
[05:28] Ritsuka
    Thinking back, it was this encounter
[05:30] Ritsuka
    that set my world racing
    forward at full speed.
[07:22] Ritsuka
    Wh-What the hell?!
[07:23] Yayoi
    Your nasty boxers were mixed in with my stuff,
[07:25] Yayoi
    so your dear, sweet sister brought
     them back to you, dumbass.
[07:29] Ritsuka
    How many times do I have to tell you to knock?
[07:35] Yayoi
    So, Ritsuka... You got band practice today?
[07:41] Ritsuka
    Like I've said, don't bring your
     relationship issues into my band.
[07:46] Ritsuka
    Besides, didn't Kaji-san already dump you?
[07:48] Yayoi
    He didn't dump me!
[07:51] Ritsuka
    Ow...
[07:54] Ritsuka
    Damn that Yayoi...
[07:59] Ritsuka
    I started playing guitar in sixth grade,
[08:03] Ritsuka
    when my dad gave me the guitar
    he wasn't using anymore.
[08:07] Ritsuka
    Of course, I wasn't going to be Thom Yorke
    or Keith Richards right off the bat...
[08:14] (Flashback) Yayoi
    Heh, you suck.
[08:19] Ritsuka
    I never could handle things
    not going the way I wanted,
[08:24] Ritsuka
    so I became obsessed with music.
[08:28] Ritsuka
    And around the time I started high school...
[08:33] Ritsuka
    I was finally able to play
    the way I wanted to.
[08:38] Ritsuka
    But before I realized it,
[08:41] Ritsuka
    the more I sharpened my skills,
[08:45] Ritsuka
    the more my old excitement faded.
[08:55] Ritsuka
    Now that I think about it,
[08:57] Ritsuka
    I guess I almost cried when
    I first broke a string, too,
[08:59] Ritsuka
    because I thought I'd broken my guitar...
[09:07] Ritsuka
    So we meet again, Guy I'm Tentatively
    Calling "Teach-Me-Guitar-Dude."
[09:12] Ritsuka
    I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it, you hear?
[09:16] Ritsuka
    Hey.
[09:19] Ritsuka
    And I'm going to defend my
    napping spot to the death!
[09:25] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[09:28] Mafuyu
    Thank you for your help yesterday.
[09:31] Ritsuka
    Uh, sure...
[09:33] Mafuyu
    Here.
[09:34] Mafuyu
    This is to thank you.
[09:40] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[09:44] Mafuyu
    Please teach me how to play guitar.
[09:47] Ritsuka
    Seriously?
[09:48] Ritsuka
    No, I don't need your money.
[09:52] Mafuyu
    In that case...
[09:54] Mafuyu
    Take this.
SIGN    Manly and Spicy!!
    Yakisoba Bread
[09:55] Ritsuka
    Dude...
[09:58] Ritsuka
    Look...
[09:59] Ritsuka
    You can try to win me over
     with money or bread,
[10:02] Ritsuka
    but I've never taught
     anyone how to play guitar.
[10:05] Ritsuka
    Just look up how to play.
[10:07] Ritsuka
    Or, y'know, you could
     join the light music club.
[10:10] Ritsuka
    Try to form a band with their members.
[10:13] Mafuyu
    A band?
[10:14] Ritsuka
    I need to explain that, too?!
[10:16] Ritsuka
    What the hell is with you?
[10:18] Ritsuka
    You carry a guitar around
    knowing nothing about it?
[10:22] Ritsuka
    Hey...
[10:25] Ritsuka
    Hey, don't get all depressed.
[10:33] Ritsuka
    I didn't say it was a bad thing...
[10:40] Mafuyu
    Really?
[10:44] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[10:46] Ritsuka
    What?
[10:49] Mafuyu
    Please teach me how to play guitar.
[11:12] Ritsuka
    Hey.
[11:13] Ritsuka
    Stop following me.
[11:24] Ritsuka
    I told you, ask someone else
     if you wanna learn guitar.
[11:39] Ritsuka
    Hey.
[11:43] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[11:50] Akihiko
    So, uh...
[11:52] Akihiko
    Who's that?
[11:55] Ritsuka
    I feel like I've picked up a stray puppy!
[11:58] Akihiko
    Sorry, what?
[12:00] Ritsuka
    I tried to lose him, but I just couldn't!
[12:02] Akihiko
    Yeah...
[12:03] Akihiko
    I have absolutely no clue what you mean.
[12:05] Ritsuka
    Hey! Show Kaji-san some respect, damn it!
[12:08] Ritsuka
    Just so you know, Kaji-san looks
     real scary, but he's a nice guy!
[12:11] Ritsuka
    He just looks scary!
[12:14] Haruki
    Heya. Sorry I'm late. Er...
[12:17] Haruki
    Whoa, who the heck?!
[12:19] Ritsuka
    Hey.
[12:20] Ritsuka
    This is our bassist, Haruki-san.
[12:22] Mafuyu
    Bassist?
[12:23] Ritsuka
    Uh... He's part of the rhythm
     section in our band.
[12:24] Haruki
    Hey, what's going on?
[12:26] Akihiko
    Dunno. Uenoyama brought him.
[12:26] Mafuyu
    Rhythm?
[12:29] Ritsuka
    Go on.
[12:33] Mafuyu
    It's nice to meet you. I'm Mafuyu Sato.
[12:38] Mafuyu
    I came to watch you play.
[12:40] Haruki
    Watch us...
[12:41] Akihiko
    ...play?
[12:45] Akihiko
    Well, in that case...
[12:47] Haruki
    Guess we'll have to show you what we can do.
[12:48] Ritsuka
    Huh? Are you sure about this?
[12:50] Akihiko
    Huh? Uh, why not?
[12:52] Ritsuka
    He's a total newbie and
    doesn't understand shit!
[12:55] Ritsuka
    He's probably expecting some
    kind of godly performance!
[13:04] Akihiko
    This is bad!
[13:05] Akihiko
    We'll only set the bar higher
    if we don't say something!
[13:08] Haruki
    Wait, don't say stuff that
    makes it sound like he's right!
[13:11] Ritsuka
    Just how bad do you two
    want to impress people?
[13:15] Ritsuka
    Whatever. Let's just play like we usually do.
[13:19] Haruki
    Nope.
[13:20] Akihiko
    Not happening.
[13:21] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[13:22] Haruki
    First and foremost, we want to look cool.
[13:24] Akihiko
    I want to summon a storm.
[13:26] Akihiko
    Just like Yujiro Ishihara.
[13:28] Haruki
    Oh, nice. It might be cool to go retro.
[13:31] Haruki
    Might even sound new now.
[13:33] Akihiko
    Then we in the rhythm section will
     go with a Showa-era kind of flow.
[13:36] Akihiko
    And then...
[13:37] Both
    You'll top it off with some fancy,
     modern guitar play!
[13:39] Ritsuka
    What the hell does that mean?!
[13:42] Ritsuka
    Uh, what was your name again?
[13:45] Mafuyu
    Mafuyu Sato.
[13:47] Ritsuka
    What kind of guitar did you want to hear?
[13:50] Mafuyu
    What kind?
[13:51] Ritsuka
    What kind of song do you want to hear?
[13:55] Mafuyu
    S-Something cool!
[13:58] Ritsuka
    Talk about abstract.
[14:04] Akihiko
    Oh, my.
[14:07] Haruki
    He's totally into this.
[14:09] Akihiko
    Well, we can't just sit here, can we?
[15:24] Ritsuka
    Why the hell am I walking you home?
[15:28] Ritsuka
    Hey, are you listening?
[15:33] Ritsuka
    Sato?
[15:37] Mafuyu
    Can I come see you guys again?
[15:42] Ritsuka
    No way.
[15:44] Mafuyu
    Teach me guitar... please.
[15:47] Ritsuka
    Would you knock that off?
     I've never taught anyone.
[15:50] Ritsuka
    I don't even know how to teach.
[15:53] Mafuyu
    Please teach me.
[15:54] Ritsuka
    Knock it off already!
[15:55] Ritsuka
    I'm telling you, you'd be better
     off joining the light music club—
[16:02] Ritsuka
    That was close. You need
     to watch behind you.
[16:07] Mafuyu
    But I can't see behind me.
[16:09] Ritsuka
    Don't get smart with me.
[16:12] Ritsuka
    Just go check out the light music club.
[16:15] Ritsuka
    I'm not trying to be mean.
     I'm telling you for your own sake.
[16:24] Yayoi
    You're late.
[16:25] Ritsuka
    Yikes.
[16:26] Ritsuka
    I gotta wonder about you, both as my sister and as a lady, when you look like that.
[16:30] Yayoi
    I was waiting for you to start
     baking the freakin' pizza.
[16:33] Ritsuka
    My bad.
[16:34] Yayoi
    It's in the freezer. Get to work.
[16:40] Ritsuka
    Hey, Yayoi...
[16:43] Ritsuka
    Do you remember what I was doing
     when I first started playing guitar?
[16:47] Yayoi
    Huh? You were just strumming on it.
[16:50] Ritsuka
    Yeah, my bad. I was stupid to even ask you.
[16:56] Ritsuka
    Then again, I don't really remember myself.
[17:00] Ritsuka
    See?
[17:02] Ritsuka
    Teaching someone how to play from
    scratch is too much for me right now...
[17:10] Ritsuka
    I wonder if my eyes used
    to look like that, too...
[17:19] Guy
    Itaya, block!
[17:23] Ritsuka
    Ow!
[17:25] Itaya
    Careful, man...
[17:29] Guy
    What's up, Uecchi? You seem out of it.
[17:32] Ritsuka
    Nothing, just thinking.
[17:37] Ritsuka
    Ugh, it's bugging me!
[17:43] Ritsuka
    I haven't been over there since yesterday.
[17:47] Ritsuka
    Because I had a feeling
    I'd break if he asked me again.
[17:51] Ritsuka
    Hosokai, switch with me.
[17:57] Ritsuka
    But... I'm pretty sure he's
    waiting there, even now.
[18:02] Ritsuka
    And with that lost puppy
    look on his face, I bet.
[18:06] Ritsuka
    Damn!
[18:08] Ritsuka
    Why do I have to feel so guilty about this?!
[18:13] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[18:15] Ritsuka
    What? He's not here...
[18:23] Ritsuka
    C'mon... Why is this bothering me so much?
[18:28] Ritsuka
    Did he give up?
[18:29] Ritsuka
    Well, I guess I didn't show up
    here yesterday or today...
[18:32] Ritsuka
    But...
[18:38] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[18:40] Ritsuka
    What?
[18:42] Ritsuka
    What?!
[18:49] Akihiko
    Uenoyama, your mouth's hanging open.
[18:52] Akihiko
    Hey.
[18:56] Akihiko
    Hello? Anyone home?
[19:01] Akihiko
    Uenoyama... You've been making that
     weird face for a couple of days now.
[19:06] Ritsuka
    Kaji-san... This is how I always look.
[19:09] Akihiko
    No, the Uesama I know had a
    much more regal look to him.
[19:14] Ritsuka
    What the heck does that mean?
[19:18] Akihiko
    Ah, I see...
[19:20] Akihiko
    What was his name again?
     Sato? Takahashi? Suzuki?
[19:25] Ritsuka
    It's Sato.
[19:26] Akihiko
    Why don't you look after the kid?
[19:30] Akihiko
    I thought it might be good motivation for you.
[19:34] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[19:35] Akihiko
    I mean...
[19:37] Akihiko
    You were on fire when
     we jammed the other day.
[19:43] Akihiko
    Well, whatever. Let's get to the studio.
[19:47] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[19:49] Ritsuka
    What?
[19:51] Ritsuka
    Was it... actually showing on my face?
[19:55] Haruki
    Wow, you did that all by yourself? Awesome!
[19:56] Akihiko
    Heya. Sorry we're late.
[19:58] Haruki
    Heyo.
[20:00] Haruki
    Mafuyu-chan came by again.
[20:02] Haruki
    He was just sitting outside
    the studio, so I let him in.
[20:05] Haruki
    Oh, yeah. Akihiko, did you buy me that tea?
[20:09] Ritsuka
    Y-You! What the hell are you doing here?!
[20:12] Akihiko
    Calm down, jeez.
[20:13] Haruki
    More importantly, this is amazing!
     Listen to this, Uecchi!
[20:17] Ritsuka
    Huh?!
[20:19] Mafuyu
    L-Look... I was able to...
[20:23] Mafuyu
    change the strings all by myself.
[20:25] Ritsuka
    Uh...
[20:26] Mafuyu
    Also, listen to this.
[20:32] Mafuyu
    Did I tune it right?
[20:39] Ritsuka
    Didn't you...
[20:41] Ritsuka
    go to the light music club?
[20:44] Mafuyu
    I did.
[20:46] Mafuyu
    They had all kinds of people and
     instruments there, and it seemed fun...
[20:52] Mafuyu
    But you were cooler, Uenoyama-kun.
[20:59] Mafuyu
    So...
[21:01] Mafuyu
    Please teach me more about guitar.
