[00:00] (Flashback) Nagi
    By the way, why did you join Takanashi
    Productions as an office worker?
[00:06] (Flashback) Banri
    Because I fulfilled my goal, I guess.
[00:10] (Flashback) Yuki
    When did you become so unreasonable?
[00:12] (Flashback) Momo
    I want you to stand at the top regardless.
[00:16] (Flashback) Shimooka
    What's your favorite song?
[00:18] (Flashback) Momo
    Well, probably "Our Incomplete—"
[00:21] (Flashback) Momo
    No, wait.
[00:22] (Flashback) Banri
    "Our Incomplete Selves."
SIGN    Our Incomplete Selves
[00:25] (Flashback) Yuki
    A song full of memories for
    Yuki, Momo-kun, and me.
[00:36] Banri
    I first met Yuki in my
    second year of high school.
[00:40] Banri
    I heard a song Yuki had written
    though a friend and became curious,
[00:44] Banri
    so I went to see him in person.
[00:49] (Flashback) Friend
    Ogami!
[00:52] (Flashback) Friend
    Good to see you again. I haven't
    seen you since middle school.
[00:56] (Flashback) Banri
    Yeah. How have you been?
[01:02] (Flashback) Banri
    Is this the guy?
[01:04] (Flashback) Friend
    Yeah. He's the guy who wrote that song.
[01:11] (Flashback) Friend
    Handsome, right?
[01:17] (Flashback) Banri
    Yeah...
SIGN    Our Incomplete Selves
[02:58] Banri
    "Nice to meet you. I'm Ogami Banri."
[03:02] Banri
    Even after I introduced myself, Yuki
    stared out the window like he was bored.
[03:08] Banri
    I thought maybe he was just shy, but his
    attitude remained unchanged for half an hour.
[03:17] (Flashback) Banri
    I listened to that song
    you wrote. It was great.
[03:25] (Flashback) Banri
    Anyway, I asked my friend to introduce
    me to the guy who wrote it, and...
[03:34] (Flashback) Banri
    Uh...
[03:36] (Flashback) Banri
    So...
[03:39] Banri
    Is this guy a fossil, or what?
[03:41] (Flashback) Friend
    Oh, right! I brought the song Banri
    wrote for our school festival.
[03:47] (Flashback) Friend
    Let me see.
[03:49] (Flashback) Friend
    Thanks for the help. People loved it.
[03:54] (Flashback) Friend
    You wanna listen to it?
[04:08] Banri
    He put in the earbuds like it
    was an incredible inconvenience.
[04:17] (Flashback) Yuki
    Name?
[04:19] (Flashback) Banri
    The song's? I haven't named it yet.
[04:23] (Flashback) Yuki
    Yours, obviously.
[04:25] (Flashback) Banri
    Obviously?
[04:26] (Flashback) Banri
    Uh, show some respect. I'm older than you.
[04:29] (Flashback) Banri
    And I just introduced myself earlier.
[04:33] (Flashback) Yuki
    Is this the only one? Any other songs?
[04:37] (Flashback) Banri
    I've got some at home.
[04:39] (Flashback) Yuki
    Let's go to your place, then.
[04:40] (Flashback) Banri
    What?
[04:41] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm going.
[04:42] (Flashback) Friend
    What? Hey...
[04:46] (Flashback) Banri
    Wait!
[04:56] (Flashback) Banri
    You know, we left him behind.
[04:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    He's not my friend, though.
[05:01] (Flashback) Banri
    You shouldn't say things like that.
[05:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    Is this the right way?
[05:06] (Flashback) Banri
    What?
[05:07] (Flashback) Yuki
    I never got your address.
[05:18] (Flashback) Banri
    Name? And I do mean yours.
[05:21] (Flashback) Yuki
    Orikasa Yukito.
[05:25] (Flashback) Yuki
    Everyone calls me Yuki.
[05:28] Banri
    After that introduction, we continued to
    meet and began writing songs together.
[05:39] Banri
    We listened to similar music, and
    I enjoyed applying Yuki's voice to my songs.
[05:48] Banri
    Naturally, Yuki's songs were great, too.
[05:52] Banri
    Eventually, we started a band. There
    were other members besides us, but...
SIGN    Keep Closed
SIGN    We have received complaints from building management. During concerts, please close this door immediately after opening it. No smoking or speaking in the corridor!
[06:00] (Flashback) Yuki
    You don't have to come anymore.
[06:01] (Flashback) Bassist A
    I wouldn't come back even if you begged!
[06:06] (Flashback) Drummer A
    I'm out, too.
[06:08] (Flashback) Banri
    Wait!
[06:17] (Flashback) Banri
    What displeased you this time?
[06:19] (Flashback) Yuki
    They're too self-assertive.
[06:21] (Flashback) Banri
    Are you one to talk?!
[06:22] (Flashback) Yuki
    I mean their sound. They play so
    insistently even though they suck.
[06:27] (Flashback) Yuki
    That's not the feel you wanted either, is it?
[06:29] (Flashback) Banri
    No, but you're supposed to talk it out
    and make gradual adjustments.
[06:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    They can't understand like you do.
[06:40] (Flashback) Banri
    I have to recruit more members again.
[06:45] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm hungry.
SIGN    Close the Door
[06:47] Banri
    His looks started a lot of fights.
[06:50] (Flashback) Man
    You brat!
[06:52] (Flashback) Man
    How dare you make eyes at my girl!
[06:54] (Flashback) Banri
    Hey!
[06:55] (Flashback) Woman
    It's not like that!
[06:56] (Flashback) Woman
    I was just helping Yuki-kun because
    he said he liked my bass playing.
[07:00] (Flashback) Yuki
    That's right.
[07:02] (Flashback) Yuki
    What I want is her bass playing.
[07:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    Her mind and body aren't my type.
[07:08] (Flashback) Banri
    Can't you phrase that differently?
[07:10] (Flashback) Woman
    You tricked me!
[07:11] (Flashback) Yuki
    Were you hoping for something?
[07:13] (Flashback) Banri
    Dude, your phrasing!
[07:15] (Flashback) Yuki
    What a pain.
[07:17] (Flashback) Man
    You asshole!
[07:27] (Flashback) Yuki
    What are you thinking about?
[07:29] (Flashback) Banri
    If I should quit the band before
    I get stabbed because of you.
[07:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    Oh, yeah? I came up with a band name.
[07:37] (Flashback) Banri
    Were you even listening? Unbelievable.
[07:41] (Flashback) Banri
    Ow!
[07:42] (Flashback) Yuki
    What?
[07:43] (Flashback) Banri
    The coffee stung.
[07:45] (Flashback) Yuki
    Poor you.
[07:46] (Flashback) Banri
    You jerk.
[07:51] (Flashback) Yuki
    Our band name.
[07:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    I think you'll like it, too, Ban.
[07:57] (Flashback) Banri
    Oh, really?
[07:58] (Flashback) Banri
    What is it?
[08:05] (Flashback) Yuki
    Re:vale.

[08:14] Banri
    Yuki was terribly antisocial,
    irresponsible, and careless,
[08:20] Banri
    but when it came to writing music,
    he poured his body and soul into it.
[08:23] Banri
    He was a hard worker.
[08:27] Banri
    So we butted heads often, too.
[08:30] (Flashback) Banri
    Don't you think a different
    phrase would work better here?
[08:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    Why?
[08:35] (Flashback) Banri
    I feel like it's too heavy.
    We should let up instead.
[08:40] (Flashback) Banri
    How about that thing we tried the other day?
[08:41] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm not changing it.
[08:42] (Flashback) Banri
    But it would definitely be better.
[08:44] (Flashback) Banri
    If we don't lighten it up,
    it'll kill the hook.
[08:47] (Flashback) Banri
    It's such a good part, too.
[08:49] (Flashback) Yuki
    Shut up.
[08:52] (Flashback) Yuki
    This song's fine the way it is.
[08:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm not changing anything a single semitone.
[08:57] Banri
    But then, he'd be surprisingly flexible.
[09:01] (Flashback) Yuki
    I tried changing it.
[09:13] (Flashback) Banri
    This is great!
[09:14] (Flashback) Banri
    It's exactly what I imagined.
[09:17] (Flashback) Banri
    No, even better.
    This lighter feeling is great.
[09:22] (Flashback) Banri
    Now we'll have one more
    song in our repertoire.
[09:25] (Flashback) Banri
    Hey, why don't we ride this momentum
    and finish "Our Incomplete Selves"?
[09:30] (Flashback) Banri
    I know people would love it
    if we played it at a concert.
[09:34] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm not finishing that one yet.
[09:35] (Flashback) Banri
    Why not? If you keep tinkering
    with it, you'll ruin it.
[09:40] (Flashback) Yuki
    Because it's the first song I wrote.
[09:43] (Flashback) Yuki
    It's special to me.
[09:45] (Flashback) Yuki
    I wish I could keep
    tinkering with it forever.
[09:47] (Flashback) Yuki
    It changes little by little each day.
[09:51] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'll like a certain melody one day.
[09:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    By the next day, I'll prefer something else.
[09:58] (Flashback) Yuki
    I wouldn't mind never finishing it.
[10:01] (Flashback) Banri
    Sounds like you.
[10:03] (Flashback) Banri
    But I want everyone else to hear it soon.
[10:07] (Flashback) Banri
    I was touched the first time I heard it.
[10:11] (Flashback) Yuki
    No, not yet.
[10:24] Banri
    Back then, I think Yuki was worried.
[10:28] Banri
    As Re:vale became more popular, there were
    more and more things wearing him down.
[10:36] (Flashback) Employee
    That'll be 685 yen.
[10:36] (Flashback) Yuki
    No, we're not playing that song.
[10:39] (Flashback) Yuki
    Or this one, or this one, or this one.
[10:45] (Flashback) Banri
    That leaves us with barely any songs to play.
[10:47] (Flashback) Banri
    At this rate, we'll have to play the same
    songs on repeat at our next concert.
[10:51] (Flashback) Yuki
    I don't want to play songs I don't like.
[10:54] (Flashback) Banri
    They're all good songs.
[10:56] (Flashback) Banri
    I like this one and this one.
[10:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    No.
[10:59] (Flashback) Banri
    Then we have to write at least one more song.
[11:02] (Flashback) Banri
    This isn't enough for a concert.
[11:05] Banri
    No matter how hard we worked
    to write good songs,
[11:08] Banri
    the people irritated by Yuki's
    appearance and personality would say
SIGN    11: Name: I'm Anonymous
SIGN    That Yuki guy's personality is irredeemable
SIGN    12: I'm Anonymous
SIGN    I heard the other band members hate him too
SIGN    13: I'm Anonymous
SIGN    Seriously? lol
SIGN    29: Name: Nice to Meet You Mr. Anon
SIGN    I listened to their music and I'm better than he is
SIGN    30: Name: Nice to Meet You Mr. Anon
SIGN    Apparently you can still be popular even if you suck as long as you're attractive
SIGN    31: Name: Nice to Meet You Mr. Anon
SIGN    He's getting in the way of serious musicians. I wish he'd go away.
[11:12] Banri
    disparaging things about us.
SIGN    Re:vale is shit.
[11:15] Banri
    But our fans would speak highly of the
    songs we felt were lacking something.
SIGN    26: Name: Input Name
SIGN    Their new song is awesome!!!!
SIGN    27: Name: Input Name
SIGN    Yuki-san never fails to impress
SIGN    28: Name: Input Name
SIGN    I'm totally going to their next concert, too!
SIGN    I love Re:vale!!
[11:21] (Flashback) All
    You were so awesome!
[11:23] (Flashback) Girl A
    Yuki-kun, your new song was great.
[11:26] (Flashback) Girl B
    You're a genius! All the
    songs you write are great.
[11:29] (Flashback) Girl C
    I'd love any song written by you, Yuki-kun!
[11:32] (Flashback) Girl D
    Me, too! Me, too!
[11:33] (Flashback) Yuki
    I see.
[11:35] (Flashback) Banri
    Thanks, you guys! Come to our next show.
[11:38] (Flashback) Girl A
    Re:vale is awesome.
[11:40] (Flashback) Girl E
    Bye-bye, Yuki-kun!
[11:42] (Flashback) All
    Bye-bye!
[11:44] Banri
    People loved Yuki himself more
    than they loved our songs.
[11:49] Banri
    But Yuki didn't want them to look at him,
    just the songs we made together.
[11:58] (Flashback) Drummer B
    I'm not playing with you anymore!
[12:00] (Flashback) Banri
    Why not?
[12:01] (Flashback) Banri
    Didn't you say you like our music?
[12:04] (Flashback) Banri
    You said you joined after hearing our songs.
[12:06] (Flashback) Bassist B
    You nitpick too much.
[12:09] (Flashback) Drummer B
    After all the shit you've put us through,
[12:10] (Flashback) Drummer B
    just listening to the songs I used
    to like makes me wanna puke!
[12:14] (Flashback) Yuki
    Oh, really? You mean something other than
    complaints comes out of your mouth?
[12:18] (Flashback) Banri
    Yuki!
[12:18] (Flashback) Drummer B
    Asshole!
[12:19] (Flashback) Banri
    Don't!
[12:23] (Flashback) Bassist B
    Don't get a big head.
[12:26] (Flashback) Drummer B
    Nobody likes your songs!
[12:36] (Flashback) Banri
    I'll have to find new members again.
[12:39] (Flashback) Banri
    Don't worry about it.
[12:41] (Flashback) Banri
    If it bothers you, then you
    should fix your attitude.
[12:45] (Flashback) Banri
    People get the wrong idea because you've got
[12:47] (Flashback) Banri
    a lot to say about music but
    don't talk about anything else.
[12:51] (Flashback) Yuki
    I guess.
[12:55] (Flashback) Banri
    Don't you have anything else to say?
[12:58] (Flashback) Yuki
    If I change, the sound I
     produce will change, too,
[13:02] (Flashback) Yuki
    like a child who has stopped
    believing in Santa.
[13:05] (Flashback) Yuki
    Is that the kind of boring
    music you want to listen to?
[13:19] (Flashback) Yuki
    You disgust me.
[13:20] (Flashback) Banri
    Don't take it out on me!
[13:22] (Flashback) Banri
    If you don't want to change our direction,
    then don't let it get to you!
[13:25] (Flashback) Yuki
    I'm not! I never placed an ounce of trust
    in their aesthetic sense to being with.
[13:30] (Flashback) Yuki
    They think I play music
    so people will like me.
[13:35] (Flashback) Yuki
    I don't have to do anything to be popular.
[13:40] (Flashback) Banri
    Right.
[13:43] (Flashback) Yuki
    Imagine singing just to receive praise.
[13:46] (Flashback) Yuki
    You'd never produce anything good
    with that half-assed attitude!
[13:50] (Flashback) Yuki
    It's arrogant!
[13:54] (Flashback) Yuki
    It's vain.
[13:59] (Flashback) Yuki
    I don't need anyone to love me.
[14:02] (Flashback) Yuki
    I just want everyone, from gods
    to insects, to love my songs!
[14:12] (Flashback) Yuki
    Ban.
[14:17] (Flashback) Yuki
    Am I wrong?
[14:21] (Flashback) Yuki
    I stay up all night thinking
    because I can't sleep.
[14:24] (Flashback) Yuki
    I spend hours working on them.
[14:26] (Flashback) Yuki
    I get into numerous arguments
    with you over them.
[14:29] (Flashback) Yuki
    I kill myself writing these songs.
[14:39] (Flashback) Yuki
    So why do those fools have to put
     their filthy hands all over them?
[14:48] (Flashback) Yuki
    Don't touch them.
[14:50] (Flashback) Yuki
    That's not why I wrote them.
[14:53] (Flashback) Yuki
    I only want them to be heard by
    people who will cherish them.
[14:56] (Flashback) Yuki
    I hope bees build hives inside the ears
[14:58] (Flashback) Yuki
    of everyone else so they
    can't hear a single note.
[15:04] (Flashback) Yuki
    It's frustrating.
[15:28] (Flashback) Banri
    Even if someone touches them with their
    "filthy" hands, it won't dirty your songs.
[15:36] (Flashback) Banri
    Even if you're rejected, it doesn't
    mean your songs have been rejected.
[15:41] (Flashback) Banri
    Just how even if people love you,
    it doesn't mean they love your songs.
[15:47] (Flashback) Banri
    No matter how terrible a person you become,
[15:49] (Flashback) Banri
    you're the only one who can write your songs.
[15:53] (Flashback) Banri
    I want to keep listening to them.
[15:55] (Flashback) Yuki
    Ban...
[15:56] (Flashback) Banri
    I want to keep listening to your
    songs because they're the best.
[16:03] (Flashback) Banri
    Yuki, can I make a suggestion?
[16:06] (Flashback) Banri
    Let's finish "Our Incomplete Selves."
[16:10] (Flashback) Banri
    And starting at our next concert,
    let's only sing the vocals.
[16:15] (Flashback) Banri
    We can play pre-recorded tracks.
    You're too attached to your songs.
[16:20] (Flashback) Banri
    You need to emotionally and physically
    let go of the things you've finished.
[16:24] (Flashback) Banri
    You need to put some distance
    between you and your songs.
[16:27] (Flashback) Yuki
    You mean we won't play instruments?
[16:29] (Flashback) Banri
    That's right. It'll solve our
    band member problem, too.
[16:33] (Flashback) Yuki
    We'll just stand onstage and sing?
[16:37] (Flashback) Yuki
    Are we going to play
    tambourines or something?
[16:40] (Flashback) Banri
    Nope.
[16:42] (Flashback) Banri
    We'll dance, like idols.
[16:44] (Flashback) Banri
    People liked it when you did that
    at the school festival, right?
[16:49] (Flashback) Yuki
    You don't think that's lame?
[16:53] Banri
    We'll keep to a level that won't seem lame.
[16:55] (Flashback) All
    Where're the other members?
[16:56] (Flashback) All
    What's going on? They're
    not playing instruments?
[17:03] (Flashback) Banri
    Good evening!
[17:08] (Flashback) Banri
    We are Re:vale!
[17:15] (Flashback) Momo
    Re:vale?
[17:16] (Flashback) Ruri
    That's right. This one's Ban-san.
[17:18] (Flashback) Ruri
    He's a tall and kind breath of fresh air.
[17:21] (Flashback) Ruri
    He's my favorite.
[17:22] (Flashback) Momo
    Huh. He seems like a nice guy.
[17:25] (Flashback) Momo
    Who's this?
[17:26] (Flashback) Ruri
    Yuki-san.
[17:27] (Flashback) Ruri
    He's not really my type, though.
[17:30] (Flashback) Ruri
    And he's more popular than Ban-san.
[17:32] (Flashback) Momo
    Huh.
[17:33] (Flashback) Ruri
    But Yuki-san is totally cool as well.
[17:37] (Flashback) Momo
    Yeah, yeah.
[17:39] (Flashback) Momo
    So, why are you telling me this?
[17:42] (Flashback) Ruri
    Come with me. Please!
[17:44] (Flashback) Ruri
    My friend can't come to their
    concert anymore, so it's just me.
[17:47] (Flashback) Ruri
    It's their third anniversary concert, too.
[17:49] (Flashback) Momo
    What?! No way! Won't it be
    all girls in the audience?
[17:54] (Flashback) Ruri
    It'll be fine. There'll be guys, too.
[17:56] (Flashback) Momo
    Really?
[17:58] (Flashback) Ruri
    I know you're free, since you got into
    college on a recommendation.
[18:00] (Flashback) Ruri
    Spend some time with your sister
    everyone once in a while!
[18:03] (Flashback) Momo
    But my wounded heart hasn't healed yet.
[18:11] (Flashback) Ruri
    I know. I watched you practice hard and
    nearly become national soccer champions.
[18:22] (Flashback) Momo
    It's not just nationals.
    It was my dream to go pro.
[18:28] (Flashback) Momo
    It still would be if I hadn't hurt my leg.
[18:34] (Flashback) Momo
    I might start hating God.
[18:36] (Flashback) Ruri
    Come on, you can't look so gloomy forever.
[18:40] (Flashback) Ruri
    Let's go take your mind off of it.
[18:45] (Flashback) Momo
    But...
[18:52] (Flashback) Momo
    There's a lot of people here.
[18:54] (Flashback) Momo
    Aren't they an indie group?
[18:55] (Flashback) Ruri
    That's right. Let's get closer to the front!
[18:57] (Flashback) Momo
    What? Hey!
[18:59] Momo
    Honestly, I wasn't interested.
[19:05] Momo
    But in an instant, I was overwhelmed.
[19:09] Momo
    The sound making the club shake,
[19:12] Momo
    the bright lights, and the
    audience's cheers flowed into me.
[19:18] Momo
    As though all that had
    squeezed inside my body.
[19:21] Ryo
    Like a stuffed pepper?
[19:25] Momo
    You're so impassive, Ryo-san.
[19:28] Momo
    Has a beautiful sunset ever made
    you feel overwhelmed with emotion?
[19:33] Momo
    Has meeting an incredible
    person ever made you nervous?
[19:37] Momo
    Has putting the pedal to the metal
[19:39] Momo
    or making exactly the shot you
    imagined ever made you shout?
[19:42] Ryo
    Unfortunately, none of that sounds familiar.
[19:45] Momo
    I see.
[19:46] Momo
    I felt all of that at once.
[19:50] Momo
    And at the same time, I felt...
    How do I put it? Like it knew me.
[19:56] Ryo
    Knew you?
[19:59] Momo
    Have you ever heard a line
    from a movie, book, or song
[20:06] Momo
    and felt like it was about you?
[20:09] Momo
    The things you couldn't put into words
    are right there, like, "Yes, that's it!"
[20:14] Momo
    It makes you want to reach for it.
    You feel pins and needles in your body.
[20:18] Momo
    It's when the tantalizing, nebulous
    thing you tried to turn away from
[20:22] Momo
    is coming at you head-on,
    and it makes you want to cry.
[20:30] Momo
    Have you ever felt that, Ryo-san?
[20:33] Ryo
    I've never really empathized
    with others much.
[20:38] Momo
    I feel sorry for you, then.
[20:45] Momo
    You've never had that incredible experience.
[20:48] (Flashback) All
    Ban-san! Yuki-san!
[20:48] (Flashback) Banri
    Good evening! We are Re:vale!
[20:51] (Flashback) Banri
    Thanks for coming to see us tonight.
[20:52] (Flashback) Banri
    Ban-san!
[20:54] (Flashback) Banri
    We'll be starting with
    a familiar Re:vale song.
[20:57] (Flashback) Banri
    If this is your first time hearing
    it, we hope you'll remember
[21:01] (Flashback) Banri
    "Our Incomplete Selves."
[21:10] Momo
    I'll remember that day until I die.
[21:14] Momo
    The moment I heard that song,
[21:17] Momo
    my heart, which had nearly stopped after
    quitting soccer, started beating again.
[21:22] Momo
    My frustration and sadness were washed away,
[21:25] Momo
    as though my body had been
    cleansed by the waves.

[23:12] Yuki
    I'd like this, please.
[23:14] Clerk
    Of course. Welcome.
[23:16] Clerk
    Wait, are you Yuki-san of Re:vale?
[23:19] Yuki
    The pirated version.
[23:21] Clerk
    What?
[23:22] Yuki
    My mole's on the wrong side.
[23:27] Yuki
    "Our Incomplete Selves."
[23:29] Yuki
    I'd forgotten Momo liked that song,
    even though it made me so happy.
[23:39] Yuki
    If I sing that song and something
    comes crashing down next to me again,
[23:45] Yuki
    this time I won't be able to handle it.
[23:50] Yuki
    Does he want to sing it?
    Does he want to hear it?
[23:56] Yuki
    I doubt he'd be able to choose.
