[00:12] Mafuyu
A live show?
[00:14] Haruki
Yeah, it's an event my friend is hosting.
[00:17] Haruki
It's actually at the venue where
Mafuyu's a part-timer.
[00:23] Ritsuka
When is it?
[00:24] Akihiko
July 7th.
[00:25] Haruki
Do you have finals around then?
[00:27] Ritsuka
Uh...
[00:33] Ritsuka
We're good.
[00:35] Akihiko
You really don't give a crap about
anything besides the band, do you?
[00:39] Ritsuka
The beginning of July, huh?
[00:41] Haruki
It'll be less than two months since
Mafuyu joined. Think it's too soon?
[00:44] Ritsuka
Nah, I think it'd be worth doing.
[00:50] Mafuyu
This includes me?
[00:51] Ritsuka
Of course it does. You're part of the band now.
[00:55] Akihiko
Playing a gig is way different
from playing in a studio.
[00:58] Akihiko
You'll probably crap your pants.
[01:00] Haruki
It feels great playing in front of a crowd.
[01:05] Ritsuka
That said...
[01:08] Ritsuka
You'd better be prepared,
'cause your guitar skills aren't ready
[01:11] Ritsuka
for other people to hear yet.
[01:14] Mafuyu
'Kay.
[01:15] Haruki
Which songs should we play?
[01:17] Akihiko
Hmm... I mean, all our
songs are instrumentals...
[01:22] Mafuyu
Instrumentals?
[01:23] Ritsuka
Songs with no vocals.
[01:25] Haruki
It'd be nice if we could come up with
a song Mafuyu can actually sing by then.
[01:30] Mafuyu
Vocals...
[01:41] Akihiko
What's up?
[01:42] Ritsuka
Uh... Well, you see...
[03:22] Haruki
So he's writing a song...
[03:24] Haruki
Uenoyama sure is fired up about all this.
[03:27] Akihiko
Apparently, that's all he's
been doing at home, too.
[03:30] Haruki
Wow, that's rare.
[03:32] Haruki
Actually, isn't this the first time Uenoyama's
been so obsessed with something?
[03:39] Akihiko
I think it is.
[03:40] Haruki
Right?
[03:41] Haruki
Mafuyu's singing was pretty impressive.
[03:45] Haruki
Must've really struck a chord with him.
[03:50] Haruki
Ow, that's hot!
[03:52] Akihiko
What?
[03:53] Haruki
The flame on my lighter was too strong.
[03:56] Haruki
I think I might've singed my bangs.
[03:58] Akihiko
Well, you do just keep letting them grow...
[04:09] Haruki
That's because, uh...
[04:15] haru
I'm gonna have to trim the ends later.
[04:19] Akihiko
Oh, shit!
[04:21] Haruki
What's wrong?
[04:23] Akihiko
Sorry... but can I come over tonight?
[04:26] Haruki
Huh?
[04:34] Haruki
Jeez.
[04:37] Haruki
Don't drink if you're riding your motorcycle.
[04:40] Akihiko
I forgot.
[04:41] Haruki
Just give me a second.
[04:43] Akihiko
Sure.
[04:59] Haruki
Come on in!
[05:00] Akihiko
Thanks.
[05:11] Haruki
I should be more careful.
[05:13] Haruki
My hair's never been this long,
so I don't even think about it...
[05:18] (Flashback) Akihiko
Well, you do just keep letting them grow...
[05:23] Haruki
Seriously, though...
[05:27] Haruki
I just can't ever find a good time to cut it.
[05:33] Akihiko
Haruki, can I borrow your charger?
[05:35] Haruki
Sure, go right ahead.
[05:38] Akihiko
Oh, let me tie your hair up.
[05:40] Haruki
Huh?
[05:42] Haruki
Do you even know how?
[05:44] Akihiko
I think I'm pretty good at it.
[05:46] Haruki
Well, listen to you, Mr. Hotshot.
[05:50] Haruki
I sure would love to punch
that pretty little face of yours.
[05:53] Akihiko
Whatever, dumbass.
This just means I'm multi-talented.
[06:05] (Flashback) Guy
Hey, c'mon! Let's calm down, guys!
[06:08] (Flashback) Guy 2
Piss off!
[06:09] (Flashback) Guy 2
You two slept together, didn't you?
[06:12] (Flashback) Guy 2
You asshole! You guys had sex, didn't you?!
[06:14] Haruki
Yikes...
[06:16] Haruki
That tall dude is scary.
[06:32] Haruki
Our eyes met, and I got
something like the chills...
[06:44] Haruki
That was two years ago, and I've
been growing out my hair ever since.
[06:49] Haruki
Ever since I fell in love with Akihiko, it's been
like my prayer for something to happen...
[06:57] Haruki
When we first met, Akihiko seemed
a bit more hostile than he does now.
[07:05] Haruki
He was, like, ten times more unapproachable.
[07:10] Haruki
He carried around a violin case,
[07:12] Haruki
so whenever I saw him,
I figured he was a music major.
[07:19] Haruki
As for me back then...
[07:24] (Flashback) Girl
Sorry.
[07:25] (Flashback) Girl
My friend invited me to join their band.
[07:28] (Flashback) Haruki
Huh?
[07:29] (Flashback) Girl
Sorry.
[07:32] (Flashback) Haruki
What?!
[07:35] Haruki
The vocalist for the band I was in quit,
[07:38] Haruki
and the rest of the band also
sort of dissolved after that...
[07:44] Haruki
But that was also when I first encountered
the child prodigy, Ritsuka Uenoyama.
[07:59] Haruki
The young Uenoyama was a very confident
guitarist and pretty easy to understand,
[08:04] Haruki
but was apparently arguing
with his bandmates.
[08:11] Haruki
What a waste...
[08:13] Haruki
If he were in my band, I'd give
him a lot more freedom.
[08:18] Haruki
If I at least had a drummer,
I could ask him to join my band,
[08:22] Haruki
but I probably can't convince him on my own.
[08:26] Haruki
Man, he's so cool, though...
[08:32] Haruki
I actually gave up on the idea once...
[08:36] Haruki
But one day, when I was still determined
to recruit the young Uenoyama
[08:39] Haruki
while also casually cursing
my former vocalist...
[08:46] (Flashback) Guy
Once all the sheets are passed to the back,
bring any extras to the front.
[08:52] Haruki
Th...
[08:52] Haruki
Th-There he is!
[08:56] Haruki
Oh, God, his profile is so hot!
[09:02] Haruki
Man, I could stare at him forever... Wait.
[09:08] Haruki
Hold the phone. Is that a snare?
[09:10] Haruki
Wait, is he a drummer?
[09:14] Haruki
No way... Seriously? He plays drums?
[09:18] (Flashback) Akihiko
Hey. Here's the syllabus.
[09:35] (Flashback) Haruki
Hey...
[09:37] (Flashback) Haruki
Do you play the drums?
[09:48] Haruki
That was the first time in my life that
I'd stared at another guy's face so intensely.
[09:54] Haruki
The light hitting his eyes
made them look even brighter,
[09:57] Haruki
and the edges looked almost green.
[10:04] Haruki
That winter, we'd gotten
over some of the bumps,
[10:07] Haruki
and I met up with Akihiko and Uenoyama.
[10:11] Haruki
After the new year began, we formed
the predecessor to our current band.
[10:20] Haruki
It all felt like a miracle.
[10:25] Haruki
And right now, that guy...
[10:28] Haruki
is somehow asleep on my couch?!
[10:33] Haruki
He seems so cramped on my tiny
sofa, and it's kinda hot...
[10:37] Haruki
And I'm gonna die from cuteness overload
watching him chew in his sleep!
[10:43] Haruki
I wanna sneak a pic so bad...
[10:53] Akihiko
What time is it?
[10:55] Haruki
Huh? 4:42...
[11:01] Haruki
Heading home?
[11:04] Haruki
Why not wait 'til it's light out?
[11:07] Akihiko
Nah, I'm sober now.
I'm gonna use your bathroom.
[11:11] Haruki
Go right ahead.
[11:15] Akihiko
Well, thanks for having me over.
[11:18] Haruki
Be careful getting home.
[12:09] Ugetsu
You just got back?
[12:12] Akihiko
Did I wake you?
[12:18] Ugetsu
Welcome home, Aki.
[12:25] Itaya
Uenoyama!
[12:27] Itaya
U-e-no-ya-ma!
[12:30] Ueki
He's dead again.
[12:32] Itaya
But he said he'd come
play basketball today...
[12:36] Itaya
It's Sato.
[12:38] Itaya
Uenoyama's dead.
[12:40] Ueki
Want us to wake him up?
[12:46] Mafuyu
No.
[12:47] Itaya
Then are you free right now?
Wanna play some basketball?
[12:50] Mafuyu
Huh?
[12:52] Mafuyu
Are you sure?
[12:53] Itaya
Heck yeah! We've been down some people.
[12:56] Ueki
You don't have to if you don't want to.
[12:58] Mafuyu
'Kay.
[12:59] Itaya
All right! Let's go!
[13:09] Ritsuka
Oh, shit... I fell asleep.
[13:21] Ritsuka
I wonder if Mafuyu already headed over...
[13:24] Itaya
Go, Sato!
[13:34] Person
That was awesome!
[13:35] Itaya
Hell yeah, Sato!
[13:43] Ritsuka
So he can smile!
[13:48] Ritsuka
H-Hey...
[13:51] Haruki
Okay, let's only add vocals
to one of the songs.
[13:54] Haruki
We can change up some of our other songs
[13:57] Haruki
so Mafuyu can join in a bit.
[13:59] Haruki
We were always an instrumental band,
[14:02] Haruki
so our sound is prominent
enough with just the three of us.
[14:05] Haruki
I mean, I guess we could add some lyrics
to some of our other songs, but...
[14:09] Haruki
Well, this is our first show
with all four of us,
[14:12] Haruki
and we can't fill our time slot
with just the songs we have,
[14:15] Haruki
but I think that's for the best...
[14:18] Haruki
Wait, are you guys even listening to me?
[14:21] Akihiko
They're ready!
[14:22] Ritsuka
Hell yeah!
[14:23] Haruki
Yeah, you didn't hear a word.
[14:28] Haruki
Thanks...
[14:31] Akihiko
How's the song going, Ue?
[14:33] Ritsuka
Oh, it should be done soon.
[14:35] Haruki
I can't wait to hear it.
[14:37] Akihiko
Send me the files for it when it's done.
[14:39] Ritsuka
Sure.
[14:43] Haruki
Here you go, Mafuyu. Make sure you eat up.
[14:45] Mafuyu
Okay.
[14:46] Haruki
And you need to not drink so much.

Oh, shit.
[14:51] Akihiko
I rode my bike again. Let me sleep over.
[14:52] Haruki
Wait, again?
[14:54] Ritsuka
Excuse me!
[14:55] Haruki
And you need to stop eating so much!
[15:01] Haruki
Well, see ya.
[15:03] Haruki
Careful getting home.
[15:14] Akihiko
You ended up drinking a lot, too.
[15:21] Haruki
So sleepy...
[15:27] Haruki
Akihiko, go ahead and lay out
a futon wherever you want.
[15:30] Akihiko
Meh. Too much work.
[15:33] Haruki
Sleep on the damn floor, then.
[15:43] Haruki
Huh?
[15:46] Haruki
A...
[15:49] Haruki
Akihiko?
[16:07] Haruki
He was all over me!
[16:13] Haruki
After that, things moved
forward pretty smoothly.
[16:29] Haruki
I guess when things go smoothly,
you keep making steady progress.

I really like it a lot.

Oh, there's the bell...
[18:38] Mafuyu
I have chemistry next.

You should hurry.

'Kay.
[18:58] Mafuyu
Thanks.
[19:16] Ritsuka
I can't remember the last time I got
so obsessed over something...
[19:24] Lady
Let's have you break into pairs
[19:25] Lady
and draw a portrait of your
partner in the allotted time.
[19:28] Girl
No way...
[19:30] Girl
Hey, let's pair up.
[19:33] Kasai
Uenoyama-kun.
[19:35] Kasai
Let's pair up.
[19:37] Kasai
Okay?
[19:38] Ritsuka
Uh... Sure.
[19:41] Kasai
Okay, I'm gonna sit here, then.
[19:55] Kasai
Hey.
[19:57] Ritsuka
Hm?
[20:02] Kasai
I wonder if... Sato-kun likes you.
[20:06] Ritsuka
Huh?
[20:09] Ritsuka
Wait, what?
[20:12] Ritsuka
I mean... I don't think he hates me.
[20:19] Kasai
Apparently...
[20:22] Kasai
Sato-kun was dating another
boy from his middle school.
[20:29] Ritsuka
Huh?
[20:31] Kasai
And on top of that, the guy...
[20:34] Kasai
suddenly killed himself last year.
[20:39] Kasai
There are rumors that Sato-kun was
part of the reason he killed himself.
[20:47] Kasai
Listen, Uenoyama-kun...
[20:51] Kasai
I think getting involved with
Sato-kun might be dangerous.
[20:57] Ritsuka
The world had started to move so quickly
around me, but in that moment,
[21:02] Ritsuka
it came to a screeching halt.
