    "Aim for 1st place in the nationals!!"
[00:01] ---
    "Aim for 1st place in the nationals!!"
    "Fitting together," "staying together"...
[00:03] ---
    We still can't do these things
    that are only natural
[00:06] ---
    to be able to do at the national level.
[00:07] ---
    I mean, we're still working on
    the skills that come before them.
[00:12] ---
    Hey, Hozuki.
[00:13] ---
    Don't you dare try and "match" our level, okay?
[00:16] ---
    Huh?
[00:17] ---
    Everybody's saying your and
    our levels are this and that,
[00:22] ---
    but just play with all you've got!
[00:25] ---
    Of course I will.
[00:27] ---
    If we're going to do this,
    then I'm going to do it right.
[00:29] ---
    But don't start crying
    when you can't keep up with me.
[00:32] ---
    What did you just say?!
[00:33] ---
    I could defeat you in an instant!
[00:35] ---
    Go ahead and try!
[00:39] ---
    Ugh, come on!
[00:40] ---
    Why are you two becoming
    rivals all of a sudden?!
[02:13] ---
    "#10 Near Yet Far"
    Everyone!
[02:14] ---
    "#10 Near Yet Far"
    We're gonna start practicing
    our parts for "Kuon" today.
[02:17] ---
    Um...
[02:19] ---
    Okay, second kotos, Adachi and Sakai.
[02:21] ---
    You two practice over here.
[02:22] ---
    Okay.
[02:23] ---
    Let's do this, Mittsu!
[02:25] ---
    Third kotos, Mizuhara and Kurusu,
    will be over there.
[02:28] ---
    Let's do this, Hiro!
[02:30] ---
    Yes, yes. Let's...
[02:33] ---
    Kota's cute and friendly,
[02:35] ---
    but I never know what he's thinking...
[02:38] ---
    Not that it matters.
[02:40] ---
    Kudo, you and I will practice over there.
[02:43] ---
    Once I finish practicing myself,
    I'll switch to teaching, okay?
[02:47] ---
    Thanks, that'd help a lot.
[02:49] ---
    Okay, one more time.
[02:51] ---
    Three, four--
[02:56] ---
    Hey, four-eyes!
[02:57] ---
    Stop playing over me!
[03:00] ---
    Same to you!
[03:01] ---
    You need to keep a steady rhythm!
[03:03] ---
    Huh? Hey, you!
[03:04] ---
    Here. It's a metronome. Try using it.
[03:07] ---
    What's this?
[03:09] ---
    Whoa! Awesome! It's so cool!
[03:11] ---
    Now we can hammer the rhythm into our heads!
[03:14] ---
    Th-This can't be real...
[03:17] ---
    Kota's sense of rhythm is terrible!
[03:19] ---
    We've been off for a while now.
[03:21] ---
    Could he really not have noticed?!
[03:23] ---
    Hozy! Help!
[03:26] ---
    Oh... she's already in despair...
[03:29] ---
    Takezo, can we have a moment?
[03:33] ---
    My koto kinda sounds bad compared to Sane's.
[03:37] ---
    Like it can't produce
    a clean note or something...
[03:43] ---
    Ah, this might be because
    you're plucking too lightly
[03:45] ---
    rather than a problem with the koto itself.
[03:50] ---
    Ah, Papuco's so good!
[03:54] ---
    Papuco?
[03:55] ---
    You've never had it?
[04:02] ---
    Huh? Hey--
[04:08] ---
    What's wrong, Kota?
[04:10] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[04:11] ---
    Hozuki and Hiro worked him
    pretty hard at practice, right?
[04:16] ---
    He's totally beat from it all...
[04:19] ---
    That said, there are a bunch of parts
    I still can't play either.
[04:22] ---
    I wonder if we can't find a bigger
    chunk of time to really practice.
[04:25] ---
    Oh, then do you wanna
    try doing a training camp?
[04:28] ---
    A training camp?!
[04:29] ---
    Wow, a training camp!
    I wanna do it! Let's do it!
[04:32] ---
    Oh, but our club doesn't have much of a budget,
[04:35] ---
    so it'll probably end up being at school.
[04:38] ---
    We can't get pumped like that!
[04:40] ---
    My uncle has an inn,
    so I'll ask him if we can use it!
[04:44] ---
    Huh? No, but we couldn't...
[04:47] ---
    Stop being so polite!
[04:48] ---
    But I'm sorry if he says no!
[04:51] ---
    No, no. That's fine! Thank you!
[04:55] ---
    Well then, I leave telling Suzu to you!
[04:57] ---
    Oh... Yeah, no worries.
[05:00] ---
    I've always been bad with Mr. Takinami.
[05:03] ---
    It always feels like he can
    see right through me,
[05:06] ---
    and he never sugarcoats anything.
[05:10] ---
    But I'm okay now...
[05:13] ---
    So, I'd like to ask your permission
    to do a training camp.
[05:17] ---
    A training camp?
[05:19] ---
    Give me a break, man. What a pain.
[05:21] ---
    As I thought, you don't want to do it, do you?
[05:24] ---
    That goes without saying, doesn't it?
[05:27] ---
    I see...
[05:28] ---
    In that case...
[05:30] ---
    Please quit as our club advisor.
[05:34] ---
    We've all decided to
    seriously aim for the nationals,
[05:37] ---
    so it's problematic to have
    an advisor who's unmotivated.
[05:39] ---
    Please switch with a teacher
    who's more willing to help us.
[05:42] ---
    If you like,
[05:44] ---
    I can go to the principal or
    vice-principal right now and--
[05:46] ---
    Hey, wait-- Stop.
[05:54] ---
    I honestly never expected
    to hear that from you!
[05:58] ---
    Um... I'm serious--
[06:00] ---
    I know. A training camp, right? Okay, let's go!
[06:03] ---
    Huh?
[06:04] ---
    I mean... If I get fired as the advisor, it'll make
    the higher-ups mad and be a pain, so...
[06:09] ---
    Plus, you guys are interesting!
[06:17] ---
    "Stop"
[06:21] ---
    Wake up, you brat!
[06:24] ---
    Your alarm's making a racket!
[06:26] ---
    Honestly... Your training camp
    starts today, right?
[06:30] ---
    That said,
[06:31] ---
    to think a day would come when
    you go to a club's training camp...
[06:35] ---
    Yo, Chika!
[06:41] ---
    You guys better keep a hold of them!
[06:48] ---
    Hey, isn't there anything we
    can do to practice right now?
[06:51] ---
    Good idea. Let's--
[06:53] ---
    Hey, Kurata!
[06:55] ---
    Might as well put this on
    while we're here, right?
[06:57] ---
    I recorded you guys' performance the other day.
[07:00] ---
    What?!
[07:02] ---
    Wow! What's that? I wanna hear!
[07:04] ---
    When did you... and why?
[07:07] ---
    You guys are seriously aiming higher, right?
[07:10] ---
    I said this before,
[07:11] ---
    but it's important to face reality.
[07:24] ---
    I-It's awful...
[07:26] ---
    All the awful notes one after
    another are making me feel sick.
[07:30] ---
    We're in a worse situation than I thought...
[07:33] ---
    We're ruining every note Hozuki plays.
[07:38] ---
    We have so many flaws compared to Himesaka.
[07:42] ---
    The one that's always sticking out
    and making weird noises...
[07:45] ---
    That's me.
[07:46] ---
    It sounds really bad hearing it
    from the audience's perspective.
[07:49] ---
    What should I do?
[07:50] ---
    It'd probably sound
    so much better without me...
[07:53] ---
    But we've won, right?
[07:54] ---
    Huh?
[07:55] ---
    Being able to listen to this now
    means we've won, right?
[07:59] ---
    I mean, after listening to this,
    we fully understand where we're at, right?
[08:01] ---
    "Understand"
    I mean, after listening to this,
    we fully understand where we're at, right?
[08:03] ---
    "Understand"
    Now, we're going to go to camp to practice
    our butts off and improve, right?
[08:04] ---
    "Practice"
    Now, we're going to go to camp to practice
    our butts off and improve, right?
[08:06] ---
    "Improve"
    Now, we're going to go to camp to practice
    our butts off and improve, right?
[08:07] ---
    "Tournament Victory"
    A tournament victory!
[08:08] ---
    See? It means we've won!
[08:11] ---
    You're right.
[08:12] ---
    It might be a good thing
    we listened to this now.
[08:14] ---
    Now that we're going to camp,
    we can work on anything!
[08:16] ---
    Right!
[08:17] ---
    We won't accomplish anything
    getting all down about it!
[08:20] ---
    That's a good point!
[08:21] ---
    All right! Let's do this!
[08:28] ---
    "Aoharu Inn"
    We're here!
[08:29] ---
    "Aoharu Inn"
    Wow, it's an inn!
[08:31] ---
    Well then, let's go to separate
    rooms and practice by part.
[08:35] ---
    After that, we'll play together.
[08:36] ---
    Yeah!
[08:42] ---
    We've gotten a lot better, huh?
[08:43] ---
    Our playing is still stiff though.
[08:47] ---
    I feel like I'm just about to grasp something,
[08:50] ---
    but it's just a little out of my reach.
[08:59] ---
    K-Kudo?!
[09:01] ---
    Hozuki, play this part for me.
[09:03] ---
    Show me how it's supposed to go.
[09:07] ---
    That's fine, but...
[09:09] ---
    ...aren't you a bit close?
[09:10] ---
    If I'm not at the same angle as you, then I
    won't be able to see your hand movements!
[09:14] ---
    I see.
[09:26] ---
    One more time.
[09:27] ---
    Huh?
[09:38] ---
    Got it, thanks!
[09:42] ---
    Your sound...
[09:44] ---
    It's really pretty.
[09:49] ---
    But that just means we have to catch up to her.
[09:53] ---
    Hozuki! We'll try our best!
[09:58] ---
    I...
[10:00] ---
    ...never want to lose this place.
[10:09] ---
    No!
[10:10] ---
    Your half beats are too sloppy!
[10:13] ---
    It's un, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta. Got it?!
[10:15] ---
    Yes!
[10:16] ---
    If you play out of sync here,
    it'll really stand out,
[10:18] ---
    so, while we're here,
    hammer that rhythm into your head!
[10:21] ---
    Yes!
[10:22] ---
    Good luck, my friend.
[10:24] ---
    What should I do?
[10:25] ---
    I don't understand why
    he's so unable to get this.
[10:28] ---
    It might be... that my teaching-style is bad...
[10:35] ---
    We're going to start playing together soon!
[10:40] ---
    Mizuhara! It's not time for you to come in yet!
[10:43] ---
    S-Sorry!
[10:44] ---
    Don't worry about it. Let's do it once more.
[10:46] ---
    No, you're still too early!
[10:49] ---
    Your tempo's off!
[10:52] ---
    The atmosphere's gone bad...
[10:54] ---
    Hozuki, can we move on
    to the next part for a bit?
[10:59] ---
    All right, then...
[11:04] ---
    Amazing, Sakai!
[11:05] ---
    Your notes sound a lot better, don't you think?
[11:08] ---
    Y-You think so?!
[11:10] ---
    I think I've kinda gotten the hang
    of how much strength to use.
[11:13] ---
    You've done it, Mittsu!
[11:14] ---
    It's the fruits of our training!
[11:16] ---
    Okay, let's start from page 14,
[11:17] ---
    line one, measure three.
[11:20] ---
    Three, four--
[11:26] ---
    "Kuon"
[11:27] ---
    "Kuon"
    The next measure is the part
    Kudo said he couldn't play...
[11:41] ---
    Ah! S-Sorry, I...
[11:43] ---
    Kudo, wasn't that the part you couldn't play?
[11:48] ---
    Huh?
[11:49] ---
    That's why I got you to play it for me.
[11:52] ---
    Just by watching me play...
[11:55] ---
    That's amazing, Kudo!
    Since when were you able to...
[11:58] ---
    That's awesome, Chika!
[11:59] ---
    You're so talented!
[12:09] ---
    I was using my voice so much,
    my throat's all dry.
[12:13] ---
    Good work today.
[12:14] ---
    Um, is Mizuhara all right?
[12:17] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[12:19] ---
    I thought I might have been too harsh with him,
[12:23] ---
    but going easy on him
    won't do him any good either.
[12:28] ---
    Anyway, how can I get
    a big chest like yours, Hozy?!
[12:31] ---
    Let me feel!
[12:32] ---
    Huh? Wha--? Stop it!
[12:44] ---
    "Club Application Form
    Name: 1-B, Koto Mizuhara"
    At first...
[12:45] ---
    "Club Application Form
    Name: 1-B, Koto Mizuhara"
    I thought, if I can help Chika out even a little,
[12:48] ---
    "Club Application Form
    Name: 1-B, Koto Mizuhara"
    joining a club didn't seem like a bad idea,
[12:50] ---
    "Club Application Form
    Name: 1-B, Koto Mizuhara"
    and I joined without giving it much thought.
[12:52] ---
    You guys hang out with Tetsuki a lot, right?
[12:55] ---
    A friend of a friend is just a stranger...
[12:57] ---
    Anyway, I...
[12:59] ---
    ...felt so embarrassed that I'd believed
    the rumors about Chika and badmouthed him.
[13:05] ---
    At the same time, I looked up to him a little.
[13:08] ---
    I wanted to get closer to him.
[13:10] ---
    Chika!
[13:11] ---
    These guys said you saved them
    before and wanna thank you.
[13:15] ---
    Um...
[13:17] ---
    Thank you so much for before, K-Kudo--
[13:19] ---
    You don't need to call me by my last name.
[13:20] ---
    Huh?
[13:21] ---
    Being treated so formally
    by another guy feels weird.
[13:24] ---
    This guy's just embarrassed.
[13:26] ---
    He rarely gets thanked.
[13:28] ---
    I'll kick your ass, you bastard!
[13:30] ---
    Huh? Go ahead and try it!
[13:33] ---
    Uh, um, well then...
[13:36] ---
    Can I call you Ch-Chika, then?
[13:40] ---
    That sounds overly familiar, doesn't it? Sorry--
[13:41] ---
    And you?
[13:42] ---
    Huh?
[13:44] ---
    Your name.
[13:45] ---
    Kota... Mizuhara.
[13:48] ---
    Y-You can call me Kota!
[13:51] ---
    The fact that Chika,
    who I thought was an awesome guy,
[13:54] ---
    seemed way closer than I was expecting
[13:56] ---
    made me so happy.
[13:59] ---
    That's why I found it so fun
    that I could bump shoulders
[14:00] ---
    and have a blast with everyone in the koto club.
[14:04] ---
    And that was... enough for me.
[14:08] ---
    But now, it's different.
[14:10] ---
    There's no one beside me anymore.
[14:13] ---
    Chika and everyone else
    are too far ahead of me.
[14:16] ---
    They're trying to aim higher,
[14:17] ---
    but I'm just holding them back.
[14:23] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:24] ---
    Kota's gone?
[14:26] ---
    He wasn't there when I woke up
    to go to the bathroom.
[14:29] ---
    I thought he might've gone to
    the bathroom, too, but he wasn't there.
[14:32] ---
    His things are gone, too.
[14:34] ---
    He won't answer his phone, either.
[14:36] ---
    I think he might've gotten fed up
    with the camp and gone home...
[14:40] ---
    That Kota...
[14:42] ---
    He's been super down because he's
    been worked so hard during practice.
[14:45] ---
    Sane!
[14:46] ---
    What should I do?
[14:47] ---
    I knew he was feeling down!
[14:49] ---
    I...
[14:50] ---
    I was so focused on myself,
    I couldn't support him--
[14:53] ---
    Saneyasu!
[14:55] ---
    Calm down.
[14:57] ---
    Chika...
[15:00] ---
    I'll go look for him outside.
[15:02] ---
    I-I'll go, too!
[15:04] ---
    Me, too!
[15:05] ---
    Kudo!
[15:07] ---
    I'll go after I've told the teacher about it,
[15:09] ---
    so if anything happens, let me know, okay?
[15:11] ---
    Got it.
[15:16] ---
    They're being kinda noisy, huh?
[15:20] ---
    Huh?!
[15:21] ---
    Kota's gone?!
[15:22] ---
    He got fed up and ran, huh?
[15:24] ---
    What should I do?
[15:26] ---
    It's because I was too hard on him!
[15:28] ---
    I'll go look for him, too!
[15:30] ---
    M-Me, too!
[15:31] ---
    Kurusu!
[15:32] ---
    Wha--
[15:33] ---
    It's dangerous for girls to be out at this hour!
[15:37] ---
    You two stay here!
[15:41] ---
    Hey, Kurata!
[15:42] ---
    You idiot, Kota!
[15:43] ---
    When I find you, I'm gonna punch you!
[15:45] ---
    He might've gotten fed up
    with the camp and gone home...
[15:48] ---
    Shit...
[15:50] ---
    How's it going? Did you find him yet?!
[15:51] ---
    Takezo! No, not yet...
[15:54] ---
    Then I'll go down the road and look!
[15:56] ---
    Takezo, um...
[15:58] ---
    If you go down here, there isn't really
    anything except a train station, right?
[16:01] ---
    Huh? Yeah.
[16:04] ---
    Adachi?
[16:05] ---
    Takezo, he...
[16:08] ---
    Kota is--!
[16:10] ---
    Shit... Which way?
[16:14] ---
    This sound...
[16:15] ---
    "Aoharu Inn"
[16:24] ---
    Ch-Chika?!
[16:27] ---
    Huh?
[16:28] ---
    What?
[16:32] ---
    Why?
[16:36] ---
    Ouch!
[16:38] ---
    Everyone's worried sick
    and looking everywhere for you.
[16:41] ---
    Huh? N-No way. I'm sorry...
[16:43] ---
    It's the middle of the night,
    so I thought no one would notice...
[16:45] ---
    You weren't answering your
    phone either, so we panicked.
[16:50] ---
    No way. Just because I was gone for a bit--
[16:52] ---
    We panicked.
[16:56] ---
    I'm sorry.
[16:59] ---
    I'm...
[17:00] ---
    ...really holding everyone back right now.
[17:03] ---
    Huh?
[17:04] ---
    Because of me, we're not making
    any progress in practice,
[17:07] ---
    and the piece sounds all over the place,
[17:08] ---
    and I'm causing so much trouble.
[17:11] ---
    Wha--
[17:11] ---
    But I... I'm going work hard!
[17:14] ---
    I'm gonna practice so much more.
[17:18] ---
    I'll practice so that I can catch up to everyone
[17:20] ---
    and then work even harder!
[17:22] ---
    So...
[17:23] ---
    ...please don't give up on me!
[17:27] ---
    I...
[17:28] ---
    ...wanna stay beside you all.
[17:31] ---
    Ouch!
[17:32] ---
    Ow! O-O-Ow! Hey, Chika!
[17:35] ---
    It's unfair for you to practice on your own!
[17:38] ---
    Huh?
[17:39] ---
    I'll practice, too!
[17:40] ---
    Huh? But then there's no point!
[17:42] ---
    I'm practicing so I can catch up to everyone!
[17:44] ---
    Shuddup!
[17:45] ---
    Chika.
[17:47] ---
    Bastard! If you've found Kota, then tell us!
[17:51] ---
    Sane, Mittsu!
[17:52] ---
    You guys! When did you get here?
[17:54] ---
    Sorry.
[17:55] ---
    We got here when Mizuhara was talking,
    so we were unsure when to come out...
[17:59] ---
    You, too, Takezo...
[18:01] ---
    Anyway! Kota, you bastard!
    At least answer your phone!
[18:04] ---
    Sorry, I didn't notice!
[18:06] ---
    That or leave a note!
[18:08] ---
    I'm surprised you guys knew where to look.
[18:11] ---
    Yeah, Adachi said...
[18:13] ---
    If he went down there,
    it'd mean he was going home, right?
[18:17] ---
    Takezo, he...
[18:19] ---
    Kota isn't the type to do that!
[18:23] ---
    So, we came here.
[18:25] ---
    I heard a voice just now! Hurry, hurry!
[18:28] ---
    Kurusu! Hozuki!
[18:30] ---
    Kota... you're here!
[18:32] ---
    Oh, s-sorry!
[18:35] ---
    You and Hozuki came out, too...
[18:43] ---
    He was practicing!
[18:45] ---
    K-K-Kurusu?! Are you okay?!
[18:48] ---
    H-H-Hiro, I'm s-s-sorry!
[18:51] ---
    I'm sorry! I...
[18:52] ---
    I thought you'd gotten fed up and
    gone home because I was too harsh with you.
[18:58] ---
    I'm sorry, Kota.
[19:00] ---
    Me too...
[19:01] ---
    I rushed ahead during practice
    without thinking again...
[19:04] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[19:05] ---
    Wait-- Why are you two apologizing?!
[19:08] ---
    I never once thought those things about you.
[19:11] ---
    I was down about how I bad I was, though...
[19:14] ---
    But anyway,
[19:15] ---
    it wouldn't have been very manly of me
    to run away just because of that.
[19:19] ---
    Idiot! Stop trying to act so cool!
[19:23] ---
    I thought I told you guys
    to stay at the inn, though.
[19:26] ---
    We had an escort, so it was fine.
[19:29] ---
    Escort?
[19:30] ---
    Well, well.
[19:32] ---
    You lot are just at the peak
    of youth, aren't you?
[19:34] ---
    Cutting down on someone
    else's sleep without a care.
[19:39] ---
    Honestly, everybody's
    running around on their own.
[19:42] ---
    If you've found him,
    come back to the inn already.
[19:45] ---
    W-We're sorry.
[19:48] ---
    I'm sorry, guys! And thank you.
[19:51] ---
    Damn right!
[19:53] ---
    Kota!
[19:55] ---
    About what you said before...
[19:57] ---
    Huh?
[19:58] ---
    It's got nothing to do
    with giving up on you or not...
[20:00] ---
    I'd hate it if you weren't around.
[20:21] ---
    'Morning...
[20:23] ---
    Whoa, your faces!
[20:25] ---
    What? You guys didn't sleep?
[20:27] ---
    Yeah, after what happened yesterday,
[20:28] ---
    we figured out what Mizuhara was
    struggling with and tried a few things.
[20:33] ---
    "Downbeat"
    We worked out that he struggles
    especially with finding the upbeat.
[20:34] ---
    "Downbeat" "Upbeat"
    We worked out that he struggles
    especially with finding the upbeat.
[20:38] ---
    But we couldn't think of
    a good way to practice it...
[20:41] ---
    Mizuhara...
[20:43] ---
    Yes, Mr. Takinami?
[20:46] ---
    A sticky note?
[20:48] ---
    Try and take the sticky note. If you can't,
    then you don't get breakfast.
[20:53] ---
    What?!
[20:57] ---
    Get... the sticky note... get it...
[21:02] ---
    I did it!
[21:03] ---
    I can eat breakfast!
[21:05] ---
    That just now...
[21:06] ---
    ...was the upbeat.
[21:10] ---
    Next time, try touching
    the sticky note five times.
[21:13] ---
    Once you can do that, try doing it
    more times and changing the tempo.
[21:16] ---
    Sound and rhythm are things you can't see.
[21:19] ---
    That's why they're so hard to understand.
[21:21] ---
    So burn the image of what we did
    just now into your mind.
[21:24] ---
    Then hammer it into your head.
[21:27] ---
    Once the sound and rhythm
    are in your body, they're yours.
[21:31] ---
    Well then, I leave the rest to you, Kurusu.
[21:34] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[21:36] ---
    Th-Thank you, Mr. Takinami!
[21:39] ---
    You can thank me when you can actually do it.
[21:44] ---
    All right, Kota.
[21:45] ---
    Let's get to it!
[21:47] ---
    I won't hold back, okay?
[21:50] ---
    Okay!
[23:38] ---
