This is awful...
[00:07] ---
The culprit is his own grandson?
[00:09] ---
Yes.
[00:10] ---
According to the witness...
[00:13] ---
That place...
[00:16] ---
"Aim for nationals!!"
[00:17] ---
"Aim for nationals!!"
...was irreplaceable.
[00:25] ---
Over there! It's him!
[00:28] ---
See you later, Takezo.
[00:29] ---
I leave the club to you.
[00:32] ---
You'll be fine.
[00:34] ---
lf it's you, Takezo, I'm sure...
[00:35] ---

If it's you, Takezo, I'm sure...

Hey.
[02:13] ---
"#1 New Club Members"
Why is that Kudo guy here?!
[02:15] ---
"#1 New Club Members"
By "Kudo" you mean Chika Kudo
from Nishi Middle School?
[02:17] ---
That guy's crazy!
[02:22] ---
"Welcome!!! Koto Club"
[02:22] ---
"Welcome!!! Koto Club"
All right.
[02:24] ---
Perfect!
[02:25] ---
Next is...
[02:30] ---
Are these fliers for the koto club?
[02:34] ---
Principal!
[02:35] ---
You're very passionate, huh, Kurata?
[02:37] ---
Ah, well...
[02:39] ---
The upperclassman have graduated,
[02:40] ---
so now I'm the only one left in the club.
[02:42] ---
If none of this year's first years join,
[02:45] ---
the club will be disbanded.
[02:46] ---
Is that so?
[02:48] ---
An old friend of mine
actually started this club.
[02:53] ---
So, I wouldn't like it to disband either.
[02:56] ---
Good luck, okay?
[02:58] ---
Ah, thank you.
[03:02] ---
"Welcome!!! Koto Club"
[03:03] ---
"Welcome!!! Koto Club"
New club members, huh?
[03:05] ---
"I'm a virgin~"
"Koto Club (LOL)"
[03:07] ---
"Abandoned"
"Koto Club (LOL)"
[03:14] ---
Ahhh, shit!
[03:15] ---
Not that way!
[03:16] ---
Damn, this shit is hot!
[03:23] ---
Oh?
[03:24] ---
Nadeshiko!
[03:26] ---
You've come back to visit
our little oasis again?
[03:29] ---
Th-This is the koto club's room.
[03:32] ---
C-Could you please leave now?
[03:35] ---
The new students will be coming
to look around today.
[03:37] ---
If the club looks like this...
[03:38] ---
Club?
[03:40] ---
You mean this thing?
[03:41] ---
Don't touch the instruments!
[03:46] ---
What have we here?
[03:47] ---
You're pretty full of yourself, huh?
[03:49] ---
Even with it in this state, not even
the teachers care about this club.
[03:53] ---
Whether it's here or not, doesn't matter.
[03:56] ---
No one will notice.
[03:58] ---
Just like no one notices you.
[04:01] ---
It's gonna be disbanded anyway, right?
[04:03] ---
Just give up already.
[04:04] ---
I--
[04:05] ---
I won't let that happen!
[04:07] ---
I made a promise to my upperclassman.
[04:10] ---
So...
[04:11] ---
I see...
[04:14] ---
In that case, I'll make you give up.
[04:17] ---
--You'll never play agai--
[04:18] ---
--S-Sto--
--You'll never play agai--
[04:22] ---
You bastard! What do you think you're doing?!
[04:28] ---
The hell? A first year?
[04:30] ---
Hey, quit it!
[04:31] ---
That's Kudo from Nishi Middle School!
[04:33] ---
What? The guy that had a run-in
with the police last year?
[04:37] ---
Hey, idiots.
[04:39] ---
You better stop messin' 'round
in front of my street!
[04:42] ---
Move!
[04:43] ---
Hey, I have business in there!
[04:46] ---
Huh?
[04:47] ---
U-Uh, business? But this is...
[04:50] ---
--Huh?
--Hey, Chika!
[04:52] ---
Tetsuki?
[04:52] ---
It's only the first day!
What are you up to already?
[04:55] ---
Didn't you say you weren't
gonna get into fights anymore?
[04:57] ---
Are you stupid?
[04:58] ---
I was protecting beansprout four-eyes
over here from a bunch of delinquents.
[05:02] ---
--Right?
--What?!
[05:03] ---
Really? Sheesh...
[05:05] ---
Um, where are the upperclassmen?
[05:07] ---
Ah, I-I'm the koto club's president so...
[05:10] ---
Huh? You are?
[05:12] ---
You're kidding me!
[05:13] ---
We don't have a hot upperclassman?!
[05:16] ---
--What is this guy's problem?
[05:17] ---
--Well, whatever.
--What is this guy's problem?
[05:19] ---
Here.
[05:20] ---
Huh?
[05:21] ---
W-Wait, uh... this is a club room for...
[05:23] ---
I know!
[05:24] ---
"Club Application
1-F Chika Kudo"
[05:26] ---
I'm joining the koto club.
[05:28] ---
What?
[05:29] ---
Th-This must be some kind of mistake...
[05:32] ---
--This is a club for playing the koto...
[05:33] ---
--Hey, idiot!
--This is a club for playing the koto...
[05:34] ---
What's with this club room?!
[05:36] ---
Do some cleaning, you octopus!
[05:37] ---
Huh? I do the cleaning everyday...
[05:39] ---
I've heard enough.
[05:40] ---
You are disqualified as club president.
[05:42] ---
From today on, I will be president!
[05:43] ---
Huh?! Wh-What are you saying...?
[05:52] ---
I-I don't know what you're up to,
[05:55] ---
but I can't accept this!
[05:57] ---
Get out!
[05:58] ---
This isn't a hang-out spot for you delinquents!
[06:01] ---
What's with this new member act?
[06:04] ---
Stop mocking me!
[06:07] ---
"I'm a virgin~"
"Koto Club (LOL)"
What the hell is this?!
[06:09] ---
"I'm a virgin~"
"Koto Club (LOL)"
[06:14] ---
Wh-What is this?!
[06:15] ---
"Four-eyed alien
I took the club sign,
stupid four-eyes. From Chika."
Wh-What is this?!
[06:19] ---
What should I do...?
[06:21] ---
I have to get back the sign
I inherited from my upperclassmen.
[06:26] ---
Takezo got home late today, huh?
[06:27] ---
He said he was doing club stuff.
[06:29] ---
Club stuff? So that koto thing?
[06:31] ---
He's still doing that?
[06:33] ---
I thought he was doing it out of
desperation after failing the exam.
[06:38] ---
Takezo didn't get into Meiryo High School?
[06:41] ---
It seems his stomach hurt the day of the test...
[06:44] ---
Even though he had the grades to pass...
[06:46] ---
Takezo always messes up when it's important.
[06:50] ---
It was true that I hated that part of myself
[06:53] ---
and was on the verge of despair.
[06:55] ---
But...
[06:56] ---
Well then, moving on...
[06:57] ---
This is a presentation from the koto club.
[06:59] ---
The koto, huh...
[07:01] ---
It's like...
[07:02] ---
I don't know anything about the koto,
but even I can tell.
[07:04] ---
They're really bad.
[07:09] ---
Watching this club...
[07:10] ---
...is kinda like watching myself.
[07:12] ---
They probably want to stop
performing and run away.
[07:22] ---
Um...
[07:23] ---
Are you wanting to join?!
[07:25] ---
Uh, no, I...
[07:29] ---
Yes...
[07:30] ---
I ended up saying yes without thinking...
[07:34] ---
But...
[07:35] ---
Thanks for joining, Takezo.
[07:39] ---
Huh? There's a piece you want to teach me?
[07:41] ---
So close to graduation?
[07:43] ---
It's a piece that has been taught here
for generations.
[07:47] ---
I'm glad I've found an underclassman
I want to teach this piece to.
[07:52] ---
I'm really glad
[07:54] ---
that you're here, Takezo.
[07:59] ---
C-Can you give me back the sign now, please?
[08:03] ---
No.
[08:04] ---
Huh?!
[08:05] ---
Please!
[08:05] ---
I inherited it from the upperclassmen,
[08:07] ---
so it's very important to me.
[08:08] ---
I ain't got shit to give back to you.
[08:11] ---
What's so special about it in the first place?
[08:14] ---
Don't make me laugh.
[08:19] ---
What is with that guy?!
[08:20] ---
Suddenly showing up
and barging into the club.
[08:22] ---
Why did he have to go and say that!
[08:28] ---
The hell? You again?
[08:30] ---
Why are you here?
[08:31] ---
Where's all the stuff that was here?
[08:32] ---
--I threw it out.
--Huh? All their things?!
[08:34] ---
It was trash.
[08:36] ---
Y-You didn't throw out
the instruments too, did you?
[08:38] ---
What are those glasses of yours even seeing?!
[08:41] ---
My neck, my neck!
[08:43] ---
Like I said, I'm joining the koto club!
[08:45] ---
Why would I throw out all the instruments?
[08:48] ---
Huh?
[08:49] ---
Anyway, idiot, if you're so free
then go throw this out.
[08:52] ---
Why me?
[08:54] ---
The... sign...
[08:57] ---
Damn it...
[08:58] ---
What is that guy even thinking?!
[09:01] ---
Like I said, I'm joining the koto club!
[09:04] ---
No way, no way.
[09:05] ---
There's no way a guy like him
wants to play the koto.
[09:07] ---
Nadeshiko!
[09:10] ---
What?
[09:11] ---
Kudo already making you run errands for him?
[09:13] ---
Huh? No, that's not...
[09:14] ---
You think Kudo's more dangerous,
[09:15] ---
so you're siding with him, is that it?
[09:17] ---
It's not like that...
[09:20] ---
Don't talk back to me!
[09:22] ---
You getting involved
with these small fries again?
[09:25] ---
K-Kudo!
[09:27] ---
Hey.
[09:28] ---
He came at you first, right?
[09:30] ---
Huh? Y-Yeah.
[09:31] ---
Well then, this is
[09:32] ---
self-defense, isn't it?
[09:34] ---
S-Stop it!
[09:35] ---
Huh? What's with you? I'm helping you!
[09:38] ---
I-It's none of your business!
[09:40] ---
My business?
[09:41] ---
It's got nothing to do with anyone's business.
[09:43] ---
Stuff like this has to be stopped!
[09:46] ---
Well, violence isn't the answer.
[09:48] ---
All I want is to protect the club.
[09:51] ---
What exactly are you protecting?
[09:53] ---
Does "protect" mean "do nothing" to you?!
[09:56] ---
That's why you get made fun of and beaten up.
[09:58] ---
It's the same as what you're doing!
[10:00] ---
You suddenly barge in uninvited
and do as you please.
[10:02] ---
What are you even planning?
[10:04] ---
Do you have some grudge
against the club or something?
[10:06] ---
Like I said,
[10:07] ---
I want to join the club!
[10:12] ---
There's no way I can believe that!
[10:22] ---
I see...
[10:30] ---
"Takezo Kurata" "Chika Kudo"
[10:33] ---
What's with him?
[10:35] ---
Suddenly getting all gloomy like that.
[10:37] ---
Now I look like the bad guy.
[10:42] ---
This...
[10:43] ---
What kind of sloppiness is this?
[10:46] ---
It's the same as what you're doing!
[10:51] ---
Chika?
[10:53] ---
He's not here yet.
[10:55] ---
I see...
[10:56] ---
Was he up to no good again?
[10:59] ---
Uh, no. Not Kudo.
[11:01] ---
It was me.
[11:04] ---
Kurata, can I talk to you for a bit?
[11:08] ---
Dammit! I hate that Kudo guy.
[11:10] ---
I have an idea.
[11:12] ---
Let's lure him out indirectly.
[11:15] ---
Are you serious?
[11:16] ---
What are we gonna do?
[11:17] ---
We're going to recreate it.
[11:20] ---
Kudo's incident last year with the police...
[11:25] ---
Oh no, that kid's back again.
[11:27] ---
Every single month, on this day...
[11:29] ---
Is this him repenting?
[11:32] ---
"Land for Sale"
[11:33] ---
"Land for Sale"
To get straight to the point,
[11:36] ---
it was his grandfather
that introduced him to koto.
[11:40] ---
In his third year of middle school,
Chika started living with him.
[11:43] ---
Apparently, his grandfather was a koto maker.
[11:48] ---
A-A koto maker?
[11:51] ---
That Chika...
[11:52] ---
He's actually been acting
relatively mellow, for him.
[11:55] ---
In middle school, he was way more violent.
[11:58] ---
He even fought with his grandfather constantly.
[12:01] ---
But...
[12:02] ---
There was probably a lot
going on between them.
[12:07] ---
What's up, Chika?
[12:09] ---
Have you been off fighting again?
[12:11] ---
Well, well.
[12:12] ---
You really lost control again this time.
[12:15] ---
Shuddup.
[12:16] ---
There were nine of them.
[12:17] ---
High school guys.
[12:19] ---
But I won, so...
[12:20] ---
You really are a brat, aren't you?
[12:22] ---
Huh?
[12:24] ---
How long are you gonna treat yourself
badly before you're satisfied?
[12:26] ---
Living like you're so bored with life.
[12:29] ---
You know, if I were you,
[12:31] ---
I'd live a life 100 million times more fun.
[12:34] ---
Shut up, old man.
[12:36] ---
All you do is make those
dumb instruments every day.
[12:41] ---
A brat like you wouldn't understand
[12:43] ---
the profoundness and charm
of the koto anyway!
[12:46] ---
Stop calling me a brat!
[12:47] ---
I don't want to understand
this stupid thing anyway!
[12:52] ---
And that's why you're a brat.
[12:57] ---
Hey, Chika! Where are you going?!
[12:59] ---
Chika!
[13:09] ---
Shit.
[13:12] ---
Hey, Gen?
[13:13] ---
Are you waiting for your grandson again?
[13:15] ---
That delinquent of a grandson.
[13:17] ---
You would be better off...
[13:19] ---
A brat like you isn't my son.
[13:22] ---
Don't ever show your face
in front of me again!
[13:26] ---
I don't care what he is.
[13:28] ---
He's my grandson.
[13:30] ---
I wanna be his grandfather.
[13:39] ---
What's this?
[13:41] ---
You've finally gotten interested in the koto?
[13:45] ---
No way.
[13:46] ---
I just wondered if this lump of wood
could make a sound.
[13:50] ---
You really don't understand, do you?
[13:52] ---
This calculated work of art.
[13:54] ---
You know, the koto...
[13:56] ---
The koto is an awesome instrument
made to resemble a dragon.
[13:59] ---
A dragon?
[14:00] ---
You'll understand too, someday,
[14:02] ---
once you experience the most wonderful
performance that comes of a meeting
[14:05] ---
between the finest koto, the finest piece,
and the finest player.
[14:09] ---
What do you say?
[14:10] ---
Wanna try playing it?
[14:11] ---
Why would I?
[14:13] ---
Are you afraid of failing in front of me?
[14:16] ---
I'm fine!
[14:18] ---
Just give it here!
[14:19] ---
Then, here.
[14:21] ---
Put this on your finger.
[14:24] ---
After they started living together,
[14:26] ---
he and his grandfather
stopped fighting as much.
[14:29] ---
He stopped hanging out
with those delinquents, too.
[14:32] ---
But then,
[14:33] ---
there were those that thought
Chika had gotten boring.
[14:37] ---
And so...
[14:38] ---
They attacked his grandfather's place.
[14:41] ---
What?
[14:42] ---
Pretending to be Chika,
[14:44] ---
they waited for his grandfather to go out.
[14:46] ---
The instruments, their house...
[14:48] ---
Anything and everything...
[14:50] ---
You don't mean...
[14:51] ---
...that incident with the police...
[14:55] ---
The police suspected Chika.
[14:58] ---
And his grandfather collapsed that night.
[15:01] ---
A few days later, he passed away.
[15:04] ---
Because of what happened?
[15:05] ---
I don't know.
[15:07] ---
It seems like he was already ill at the time.
[15:11] ---
Kurata.
[15:12] ---
The reason he wants to join the koto club...
[15:15] ---
...is because it was his grandfather
[15:18] ---
who started it.
[15:21] ---
He was telling the truth.
[15:23] ---
All he honestly wanted
[15:25] ---
was to join the club his grandfather started.
[15:28] ---
There's no way I can believe that!
[15:32] ---
I want to disappear...
[15:35] ---
I should apologize to Kudo...
[15:37] ---
But what should I say...
[15:44] ---
There's no way I can believe that!
[15:47] ---
Ah, shit!
[15:49] ---
Hey, four-eyes!
[15:55] ---
Hey, are you okay?
[15:57] ---
Hey, you! What are you doing?!
[16:00] ---
Kudo...
[16:01] ---
I heard a big racket and came to look.
[16:03] ---
I should've known it'd be you!
[16:04] ---
--Come with us!
--Huh?!
[16:05] ---
I haven't done anything!
[16:07] ---
Anyway, hurry up and help this guy!
[16:08] ---
Be quiet!
[16:09] ---
Who would believe anything you say anyway?!
[16:13] ---
What is this?
[16:16] ---
Not again...
[16:20] ---
Ow, ow!
[16:22] ---
Oh, you're awake?
[16:24] ---
You were beaten up by some kid named Kudo.
[16:26] ---
What?! Kudo?!
[16:28] ---
He was caught red-handed,
[16:30] ---
so he's in the principal's office now.
[16:31] ---
He tore up your club room, too.
[16:33] ---
Oh no...
[16:34] ---
It's just like the incident last year--
[16:38] ---
I don't think Kudo is the culprit!
[16:40] ---
I'll go explain--
[16:41] ---
Hold it!
[16:42] ---
You're better off not getting
involved with that kid.
[16:45] ---
But...
[16:46] ---
With all that's happened,
[16:48] ---
you understand that, right?
[16:50] ---
Kudo,
[16:51] ---
won't you say something?
[16:55] ---
If you don't say anything,
nothing will ever be resolved.
[16:59] ---
Or maybe...
[17:00] ---
I should assume your silence
means you're guilty?
[17:04] ---
You're wrong! It wasn't me!
[17:05] ---
Wrecking the house of the grandfather
that took care of you...
[17:08] ---
What a terrible kid!
[17:09] ---
I said I--
[17:10] ---
Even if it wasn't you,
[17:11] ---
you caused this to happen, did you not?!
[17:18] ---
She's right.
[17:20] ---
Involving myself with Kudo...
[17:22] ---
I should have been prepared for this.
[17:26] ---
We live in completely different worlds.
[17:28] ---
I feel bad for Kudo, but…
[17:30] ---
I shouldn't be involved with him anymore.
[17:33] ---
I need to protect the club...
[17:43] ---
Does "protect" mean "do nothing" to you?!
[17:48] ---
Well, that went well, huh?
[17:50] ---
I wonder if he'll get expelled now.
[17:53] ---
Hey!
[17:54] ---
What are you guys on about?
[17:57] ---
Principal, it's useless asking.
[18:00] ---
This is exactly like last year's incident.
[18:04] ---
It's clear who the culprit is.
[18:06] ---
What shall the punishment be?
Expulsion seems--
[18:08] ---
Please, wait!
[18:14] ---
Four-eyes...
[18:15] ---
Kurata?
[18:17] ---
Are you okay with those injuries?
[18:19] ---
I'm fine!
[18:20] ---
That aside...
[18:21] ---
Um...
[18:27] ---
K-Kudo isn't the culprit!
[18:31] ---
Wha--?!
[18:32] ---
Do you know who the culprit is?
[18:33] ---
I don't, but...
[18:35] ---
Then it's Kudo, right?
[18:37] ---
I mean, he was at the scene of the crime!
[18:38] ---
Do we need any more proof than that.
[18:40] ---
Kudo is--!
[18:42] ---
Kudo is a new member of the koto club!
[18:46] ---
It's only natural that he'd be in the club room!
[18:54] ---
So, you've come, Chika?
[18:57] ---
Confess!
[18:58] ---
Who would believe you?!
[19:00] ---
Wha--?! What are you saying...?
[19:01] ---
Is this true, Kudo?
[19:04] ---
Why have you joined the koto club?
[19:06] ---
I--
[19:07] ---
You brat!
[19:09] ---
Don't underestimate your grandfather!
[19:12] ---
I already know.
[19:26] ---
I joined because...
[19:29] ---
...it's the club my grandfather started.
[19:31] ---
It's my fault that
[19:33] ---
most of the things my grandfather
cherished were broken.
[19:36] ---
So, I want to at least protect
the things that are left.
[19:40] ---
Whatever that may be,
[19:42] ---
I want to know more about it.
[19:45] ---
That's why I joined the koto club.
[19:48] ---
A story like that--
[19:49] ---
Couldn't possibly be a lie, correct?
[19:51] ---
His grandfather...
[19:53] ---
...was a friend of mine.
[19:56] ---
Even if you say that,
[19:57] ---
it doesn't prove he didn't do it!
[20:00] ---
I mean, it's Kudo that destroyed
his grandfather's house--
[20:01] ---
Be careful what you say!
[20:04] ---
Even that statement has no proof.
[20:06] ---
It's nothing but speculation born from bias.
[20:09] ---
Am I wrong?
[20:10] ---
B-But...
[20:11] ---
Principal! Vice Principal!
[20:13] ---
Three students have
come forward as the culprits.
[20:16] ---
Wh-What?!
[20:17] ---
Who?!
[20:19] ---
Kudo. Kurata.
[20:22] ---
Sorry for the unpleasantness.
[20:24] ---
I'm truly sorry.
[20:27] ---
It's nothing.
[20:30] ---
Y-You were friends with my granddad?
[20:34] ---
Yes.
[20:36] ---
Let's have a nice long talk
about him sometime soon.
[20:41] ---
"Silence"
[20:44] ---
W-Well, shall we go home?
[20:48] ---
Tha--!
[20:50] ---
Thank you so much.
[20:55] ---
Huh?! Was that gratitude?
[20:56] ---
The hell it is, baldy!
[20:58] ---
Huh?!
[20:59] ---
That aside,
[21:00] ---
what did the culprits even want?
[21:02] ---
Why'd they give themselves up...?
[21:04] ---
Who knows?
[21:05] ---
Well,
[21:06] ---
some interfering guy probably had a hand in it.
[21:10] ---
Huh?
[21:13] ---
Where are you going?
[21:14] ---
The gate is that way...
[21:17] ---
The club room.
[21:18] ---
We can't do any club stuff
with it in that state.
[21:26] ---
You'll be fine.
[21:27] ---
If it's you, Takezo, I'm sure...
[21:30] ---
...you'll make it the best koto club there is.
[21:35] ---
Everyone...
[21:36] ---
He's a lot to deal with, but...
[21:38] ---
somehow our strongest recruit yet
has joined the club.
[21:41] ---
Oh, yeah.
[21:43] ---
Thanks for cleaning the sign, Kudo.
[21:45] ---
Huh?! I don't know what you're
talking about! What sign?!
[21:47] ---
"Koto club"
Why hide it?
[21:49] ---
"Koto club"
Wait, are you blushing?
[21:50] ---
"Koto club"
Shuddup, bald little four-eyes!
[21:53] ---
"Koto club"
[23:38] ---
Next time, "Having What It Takes."
[23:41] ---
"#2 Having What it Takes"
