**[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.
