[00:11] Akihiko
    I thought that love would be
    softer, sweeter, and kinder.
[00:20] Akihiko
    I found out with my first love that those
    thoughts were just a happy delusion.
[00:27] Akihiko
    Falling in love with someone
[00:29] Akihiko
    is something much more violent,
    like having your flesh ripped apart.
[02:10] Haruki
    That was pretty good, no?
[02:11] Ritsuka
    Honestly, I like it better than before.
[02:14] Haruki
    Right?!
[02:15] Haruki
    Akihiko!
[02:17] Akihiko
    Yay for Haruki-san. Yay.
[02:19] Haruki
    That's sexual harassment, damn it!

[02:34] Akihiko
    Mafuyu hasn't been able to write
    a single line of his song since then.
[02:39] Akihiko
    Though, I mean, that's to be expected...
[02:44] Ritsuka
    Hey, Mafuyu.
[02:46] Ritsuka
    Are you actually practicing?
[02:49] Haruki
    Hey, whoa...
[02:50] Ritsuka
    What the hell was that?
[02:51] Haruki
    Now, now...
[02:52] Ritsuka
    Are you serious about this or not?
[02:54] Mafuyu
    I am.
[02:55] Ritsuka
    Huh?!
[02:56] Haruki
    H-Hey!
[02:57] Ritsuka
    You haven't improved at all!
[02:59] Ritsuka
    And you keep making the same mistakes!
[03:01] Haruki
    Hey!
[03:02] Ritsuka
    If you aren't serious—
[03:02] Haruki
    Stop! Ue!
[03:05] Haruki
    Don't just go off without letting him respond!
[03:07] Haruki
    Don't corner him like that!
[03:08] Haruki
    Besides, you've been weird lately, too!
[03:17] Akihiko
    Let's call it for today.
[03:21] Akihiko
    If this goes any further,
    our band's going to fall apart.
[03:28] (Flashback) Mafuyu
    You see, I...
[03:31] (Flashback) Mafuyu
    had someone I really, truly loved.
[03:42] Akihiko
    Here.
[03:48] Akihiko
    It's on me!
[03:49] Ritsuka
    Thanks?!
[04:00] Akihiko
    Hey, you seem pretty worn out lately.
[04:04] Akihiko
    What gives?
[04:08] Akihiko
    You can't seem to concentrate at all.
[04:10] Akihiko
    You're in no place to lecture others.
[04:13] Akihiko
    I never figured you to be the moody type.
[04:18] Ritsuka
    Right.
[04:23] Akihiko
    So, I'm just gonna come out and say it.
[04:28] Akihiko
    Did something happen
     between you and Mafuyu?
[04:31] Akihiko
    Heh. Just kidding...
[04:44] Akihiko
    Wait, what?! You already
     put your mitts on him?!
[04:47] Ritsuka
    Huh?!
[04:48] Akihiko
    I always figured you'd be a late bloomer...
[04:50] Ritsuka
    Hey! What the hell does that mean?!
[04:52] Ritsuka
    Wait, what do you even think happened?!
[04:55] Ritsuka
    Put my mitts on him? Late bloomer?!
[04:56] Akihiko
    What do I think happened?! Do you even
     realize what your face looks like right now?!
[05:01] Ritsuka
    Wh-What does it look like?
[05:04] Akihiko
    Your face basically says,
     "I'm in love with Mafuyu."
[05:13] Akihiko
    Uesama, on your feet.
[05:15] Akihiko
    Get a grip.
[05:25] Ritsuka
    I-I...
[05:27] Ritsuka
    I, uh...
[05:31] Ritsuka
    Is there something wrong with me?!
[05:35] Akihiko
    No?
[05:37] Akihiko
    What's wrong about it?
[05:40] Akihiko
    That you like a guy?
[05:42] Akihiko
    "I'm only supposed to be
    into girls," or something?
[05:47] Akihiko
    Don't worry.
[05:49] Akihiko
    That's what I thought about myself,
     but I've been with guys, too.
[05:57] Akihiko
    That was a long time ago, though.
[06:02] Akihiko
    Or are you gonna say there's
     something wrong with me?
[06:06] Akihiko
    Either way, Mafuyu's writing this
     song because you asked him to.
[06:11] Akihiko
    You owe it to him to be
     a little more supportive.
[06:18] Ritsuka
    But I just... I really don't know...
[06:22] Ritsuka
    Is it okay to admit that
     I have these feelings?
[06:29] Akihiko
    Let's go.
[06:31] Ritsuka
    'Kay.
[06:46] Girl
    Ayano!
[06:48] Girl
    Could you take these?
[06:49] Kasai
    What?
[06:50] Girl
    Oh, come on. Your next class
     is in another room, isn't it?
[06:53] Girl
    It'll be on your way.
[06:54] Kasai
    Jeez...
[06:56] Ritsuka
    I'll help.
[06:57] Kasai
    Huh?
[07:00] Ritsuka
    They're pretty heavy, right?
[07:04] Ueki
    Come on, let's go.
[07:05] Itaya
    Why, though?! Aren't you curious?
[07:09] Ueki
    Sato.
[07:10] Itaya
    Hey, come look!
[07:18] Ritsuka
    That's that. Now, let's head ba—
[07:22] Itaya
    Do I sense a plot twist?!
[07:23] Ueki
    Hey, stop creeping.
[07:27] Kasai
    Why are you being so nice to me?
[07:31] Kasai
    I said something so awful to you...
[07:36] Ritsuka
    Huh? Wait, what? Something awful?
[07:39] Kasai
    About Sato-kun...
[07:41] Ritsuka
    Oh...
[07:44] Kasai
    I knew it was petty of me to
    bring up those rumors, so...
[07:49] Kasai
    I thought you'd never speak to me again.
[07:56] Ritsuka
    I mean, it was kinda petty.
[08:02] Ritsuka
    But I guess I'm glad I found out... or something.
[08:05] Ritsuka
    So, like... we're even, okay?
[08:12] Itaya
    Seriously, why is Uenoyama so popular?!
[08:15] Mafuyu
    Yeah.
[08:16] Itaya
    The jerk's never even thinking about anything!
[08:19] Mafuyu
    Yeah.
[08:25] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun is really...
     genuinely kind to everyone.
[08:33] Itaya
    Oh, yeah!
[08:35] Itaya
    You guys are putting on a live show?
[08:37] Itaya
    We'll come see you guys. Right?
[08:39] Ueki
    Hey.
[08:40] Itaya
    We both love music! Break a leg!
[08:45] Mafuyu
    'Kay.
[08:46] Itaya
    And let's play basketball during
     lunch again sometime.
[08:49] Itaya
    We'll be waiting.
[08:51] Mafuyu
    'Kay.
[08:53] Itaya
    But man, I can't wait!
[08:56] Mafuyu
    I see... So people really do go to live
     shows to listen to people perform...
[09:02] Itaya
    Of course they do!
[09:06] Mafuyu
    What is it that I want to tell those people?
[09:21] Haruki
    Mafuyu's gotten better.
[09:23] Akihiko
    He seriously just improves outta nowhere.
[09:26] Akihiko
    Hey... Huh?
[09:32] Haruki
    And he's out like a light bulb, just like that.
[09:34] Akihiko
    Guess this is a good time for a break.
[09:36] Akihiko
    Haruki, let's go have a smoke.
[09:37] Haruki
    Yeah, sure.
[09:41] Akihiko
    Keep an eye on that.
[09:42] Ritsuka
    Sure.
[09:43] Haruki
    What?
[09:59] Ritsuka
    Come to think of it...
[10:01] Ritsuka
    The first time we met,
    he was sleeping like this, too.
[10:04] Ritsuka
    You could practically see
    the "Zzz" above his head.
[10:13] Ritsuka
    No, wait! My heart totally
    didn't skip a beat just now!
[10:19] Ritsuka
    He is actually asleep, right?
[10:23] Ritsuka
    His fingers...
[10:24] Ritsuka
    He's popped some new blisters.
[10:28] Ritsuka
    His fingertips... are already
    callusing like a pro's.
[10:34] Ritsuka
    Guess I used to be like this, too...
[10:38] Mafuyu
    Um...
[10:41] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun?
[10:44] Ritsuka
    Y-You, you're—
[10:45] Mafuyu
    I'm awake.
[10:46] Ritsuka
    R-Right...
[10:49] Mafuyu
    Sorry.
[10:51] Mafuyu
    I haven't gotten anywhere
    at all with the song yet...
[10:56] Ritsuka
    Well, there's still time... So just keep at it.
[11:01] Mafuyu
    'Kay.
[11:03] Ritsuka
    Honestly... I'm scared of the
    song he's going to come up with.
[11:09] Ritsuka
    I don't want to hear a song about
    Mafuyu being in love with someone else.
[11:14] Haruki
    Oh.
[11:16] Haruki
    Looks like Mafuyu's awake.
[11:18] Haruki
    Should we head back?
[11:20] Haruki
    Uh, what?
[11:22] Haruki
    What is it?
[11:23] Akihiko
    Have another smoke with me.
[11:26] Haruki
    I'm out of smokes, though...
[11:29] Akihiko
    Falling in love with someone
[11:32] Akihiko
    means you have to expose the softest,
    most fragile parts of yourself to them.
[11:36] Akihiko
    Otherwise, it won't work out.
[11:39] Akihiko
    Being touched sends you
    spiraling into delirium.
[11:43] Akihiko
    The slightest hint of their nails
    on your skin rips it open,
[11:47] Akihiko
    and if they try to crush you
    with any intent, it's fatal.
[11:52] Akihiko
    Uenoyama's love is a bomb that has the
    potential to annihilate the whole band.
SIGN    Music Room
[12:04] Akihiko
    While I was still trying to compete for
    first or second in national competitions,
[12:09] Akihiko
    there was a genius who kept ripping up
[12:11] Akihiko
    the dreams of all kinds of
    talented junior competitors
[12:14] Akihiko
    and taking first place in
    international competitions.
[12:18] Akihiko
    His name was Ugetsu Murata.
[12:22] (Flashback) Ugetsu
    Who are you?
[12:24] (Flashback) Ugetsu
    Oh, you're the guy who placed second
     in the competition the other day, right?
[12:29] (Flashback) Ugetsu
    You seemed like a really delicate person.
[12:32] (Flashback) Ugetsu
    Your Brahms was excellent.
[12:36] Akihiko
    It was the summer of my
    first year in high school.
[12:39] Akihiko
    Ugetsu had just transferred to our school,
[12:41] Akihiko
    and I became his first friend.
[12:46] Akihiko
    I was completely floored by his talent.
[12:49] Akihiko
    And because of that, I abandoned the violin.
[12:56] Akihiko
    It's not like Ugetsu Murata was
    detached from reality, not in the least.
[13:01] Akihiko
    He had emotions, like everyone else.
[13:03] Akihiko
    But the size of both his
    heart and his emotions
[13:08] Akihiko
    was far more overwhelming than most.
[13:13] Akihiko
    It was like just the act of
    being alive pained him.
[13:17] Akihiko
    Happiness, sadness, and pain...
[13:20] Akihiko
    They were all amplified
    exponentially for Ugetsu,
[13:24] Akihiko
    and he kept it all buried far deeper
    than a normal person would.
[13:35] Akihiko
    I was insanely jealous of him for that,
[13:38] Akihiko
    but at the same time, I pitied him for it.
[13:45] Akihiko
    When his hands touched
    my skin through my clothes,
[13:49] Akihiko
    there was so much tension, it was
    like I'd been pierced by needles.
[13:54] Akihiko
    I wanted to rip all of these
    needles out, strip him naked,
[13:59] Akihiko
    and sully that sound...
[14:20] Radio
    The winner of the national violin
    competition was Ugetsu Murata-san.
[14:25] Radio
    Murata-san will hold a solo—
[14:26] Ugetsu
    Finally home.
[14:28] Ugetsu
    You can leave my stuff right there.
[14:32] Ugetsu
    See you later.
[14:34] Akihiko
    Welcome home.
[14:43] Ugetsu
    I'm beat.
[14:46] Akihiko
    For crying out loud...
[14:49] Akihiko
    You want any coffee?
[14:51] Ugetsu
    Nope.
[14:53] Akihiko
    You're back early.
[14:55] Ugetsu
    Yeah, he was waiting to pick me up.
[14:59] Ugetsu
    Actually, I do want coffee, Akihiko.
[15:02] Akihiko
    Make it yourself.
[15:04] Ugetsu
    Aw. Who do you think you are, slave?
[15:07] Akihiko
    Could you at least call me a freeloader?
[15:13] Akihiko
    I heard you won the competition.
[15:25] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[15:27] Mafuyu
    Morning.
[15:28] Ritsuka
    H-Hey...
[15:32] Ritsuka
    Were you practicing?
[15:34] Mafuyu
    Yup.
[15:35] Mafuyu
    There's a part I keep getting stuck on.
[15:39] Ritsuka
    What part?
[15:41] Mafuyu
    Um...
[15:46] Mafuyu
    The part after that.
[15:47] Ritsuka
    Ah... I guess you were having
     trouble with that the other day.
[15:52] Ritsuka
    I'll teach you that part.
    Meet me at the usual spot at lunch.
[15:56] Mafuyu
    Are you sure?
[15:57] Ritsuka
    We don't have much more time before the gig.
[16:02] Mafuyu
    Uenoyama-kun.
[16:05] Mafuyu
    Thanks for teaching me.
[16:13] Ritsuka
    Okay, let's up the tempo.
[16:16] Ritsuka
    One, two, three, four.
[16:30] Ritsuka
    That sounded pretty good.
[16:32] Mafuyu
    Really?
[16:33] Ritsuka
    Now you just have to learn to play
     without looking at your hands.
[16:37] Mafuyu
    Without looking?
[16:38] Ritsuka
    You can't sing if you're looking down.
[16:41] Ritsuka
    You have a mic for a reason.
[16:43] Mafuyu
    Oh, right...
[17:01] Mafuyu
    Huh?
[17:02] Ritsuka
    Don't give me that!
[17:04] Ritsuka
    C'mon! One more time!
[17:23] Akihiko
    All right, listen up.
[17:25] Akihiko
    I have a suggestion.
[17:28] Akihiko
    So listen... We only have a
    week before our gig, right?
[17:31] All
    Yeah.
[17:32] Akihiko
    So let's stop practicing.
[17:36] Ritsuka
    What?! What are you—
[17:38] Akihiko
    From what I just heard,
     we're basically together.
[17:42] Akihiko
    We'll make it.
SIGN    Great!
SIGN    Passing Grade
[17:43] Akihiko
    Mafuyu's guitar playing was
    one of our two big issues,
[17:46] Akihiko
    and he's made it to the point
    where he'd get a passing grade.
[17:49] Ritsuka
    But that means either he's barely
    gonna make it or he'll fail!
[17:52] Akihiko
    It's like when the ball just manages
    to slip through the middle.
[17:55] Ritsuka
    Again, that means if he messes
    up in the slightest, he's out!
[18:01] Haruki
    But, I mean...
[18:03] Haruki
    At this point, it's way more worrying
     that the lyrics aren't done yet.
[18:09] Akihiko
    Mafuyu.
[18:10] Akihiko
    I don't think you're gonna
     be able to write the lyrics
[18:13] Akihiko
    if we just keep casually practicing here.
[18:17] Ritsuka
    Why are you pressuring him like that?
[18:20] Ritsuka
    C'mon...
[18:22] Akihiko
    Haruki.
[18:23] Akihiko
    I'll take Mafuyu home.
    You take care of Uenoyama.
[18:27] Haruki
    Yeah, sure.
[18:30] Akihiko
    Mafuyu.
[18:31] Mafuyu
    Yes?
[18:32] Akihiko
    Are you okay being on a motorcycle?
[18:38] Akihiko
    Here. Put this on.
[18:41] Akihiko
    Also, here. It gets pretty cold,
     so put that on, too.
[18:45] Mafuyu
    Thank you...
[18:53] Akihiko
    You know...
[18:56] Akihiko
    If you don't settle things with your past,
[18:59] Akihiko
    you won't be able to write those lyrics.
[19:03] Akihiko
    Do you want to express it?
[19:05] Akihiko
    Or do you want to run away
     from ever having to verbalize it?
[19:14] Haruki
    Ugh, seriously, what the frickin' hell?
[19:17] Haruki
    How dare he...
[19:19] (Flashback) Akihiko
    Haru.
[19:22] (Flashback) Akihiko
    Make sure you follow up with Uenoyama.
[19:24] Haruki
    Unbelievable!
[19:25] Haruki
    My left ear still itches!
[19:27] Ritsuka
    Haruki-san, eyes forward. The light's green.
[19:29] Haruki
    Right...
[19:30] Haruki
    Yeah, I know what he's trying to do
    and the state our band's in right now!
[19:35] Haruki
    The fact is that our huge success is
    literally right next to our huge failure!

[19:39] Haruki
    And right now, we're right in front
    of the goal, going back and forth.
[19:45] Haruki
    And yet, he...
[19:47] (Flashback) Akihiko
    Give him a push.
[19:49] Haruki
    My ear itches so much! And he just
    called me "Haru" outta nowhere!
[19:52] Ritsuka
    Haruki-san. Light's green.
[19:54] Haruki
    At this rate, we're going to crash
    and burn one day, and I'm gonna die.
[19:58] Ritsuka
    Yo. It's green.
[20:03] Haruki
    Uecchi.
[20:04] Ritsuka
    Yes?
[20:06] Haruki
    I think Akihiko suggested we stop practicing
[20:10] Haruki
    because of you.
[20:12] Ritsuka
    Huh?
[20:14] Haruki
    You're able to play fine, so it's
     probably not that noticeable,
[20:16] Haruki
    but your flair is gone.
[20:19] Haruki
    And even before that,
[20:21] Haruki
    you're thinking, "I just have to do
     what I always do," aren't you?
[20:27] Ritsuka
    Well, yeah... I'm just striving for
    my usual level of performance...
[20:33] Ritsuka
    Isn't that enough?
[20:35] Haruki
    It's not. Or at least,
    that's what Akihiko thinks.
[20:40] Haruki
    I don't know if you're just too worried
     about Mafuyu to even notice,
[20:47] Haruki
    but if you go on like this, you're gonna
     be swallowed up by Mafuyu's sound.
