[00:03] ---
    Hozuki!
[00:08] ---
    Are you two hurt?!
[00:10] ---
    I-I'm sorry, Hozy... Chika.
[00:13] ---
    No, it's all right.
[00:15] ---
    What should I do? What am I doing?
[00:18] ---
    I almost hurt them both
    and damaged the kotos.
[00:22] ---
    I can't believe I could make such
    a mistake before the performance.
[00:25] ---
    What should I do?
[00:27] ---
    Kurusu.
[00:28] ---
    It's okay.
[00:30] ---
    Huh?
[00:31] ---
    You know?
[00:32] ---
    This is something my upperclassman once said,
[00:35] ---
    but the stage is a reward for all
    the hard work you've put in up until now.
[00:39] ---
    So enjoy it as much as you can.
[00:43] ---
    We've done all we can now.
[00:45] ---
    All that's left for us to do now
    is to not worry about messing up
[00:47] ---
    and just enjoy playing.
[00:49] ---
    I'm kinda pep talking myself right now, too.
[00:54] ---
    What's with that?
[00:58] ---
    Thanks, Takezo.
    I'm feeling a little better now, too.
[01:02] ---
    Me too! Me too!
[01:03] ---
    Kudo, let's hurry and set up the bridges.
[01:06] ---
    Okay.
[01:19] ---
    Wha--
[01:20] ---
    Kudo, come with me a sec.
[01:22] ---
    What are you doing, Takinami,
    you bastard?! Let me go!
[02:59] ---
    "#13 Kuon"
[03:00] ---
    "#13 Kuon"
    Hey!
[03:01] ---
    "#13 Kuon"
    Why do I have to go to
    the bathroom with you?!
[03:04] ---
    That's not why I brought you here, idiot.
[03:08] ---
    Ugh.
[03:09] ---
    Don't "ugh" me!
[03:11] ---
    You're not performing today.
[03:13] ---
    Go to the first-aid station right now
    and have them tend to your hand.
[03:16] ---
    Huh?! Stop messing with me! This is nothing!
[03:19] ---
    Are you stupid?
[03:20] ---
    It has nothing to do with
    whether you're okay or not.
[03:23] ---
    It'll be my responsibility as the advisor
    if you go out there and something happens.
[03:27] ---
    Who cares about you! I'm performing!
[03:30] ---
    You have nothing to worry about anyway.
[03:32] ---
    I'm not gonna force responsibility
    on someone else
[03:34] ---
    for something I decided myself.
[03:36] ---
    That's lame.
[03:37] ---
    Getting hurt just before a performance
    is pretty lame itself, Kudo.
[03:41] ---
    Shuddup!
[03:42] ---
    It's not like this performance is
    a preliminary for the nationals.
[03:45] ---
    It's not really a big deal if you
    skip out on this performance, right?
[03:48] ---
    Kurata's playing first koto, too.
[03:49] ---
    We can have him do the duet part alone
    and we'll just cut your solo.
[03:54] ---
    Problem solved.
[03:55] ---
    We can do today's performance without you.
[04:01] ---
    So that's how it's going to be.
[04:02] ---
    Come on, hurry up and go
    to the first-aid station.
[04:05] ---
    I'll tell the others.
[04:09] ---
    Like I said...
[04:11] ---
    My hand's fine, so I'm gonna perform.
[04:14] ---
    To think you were this passionate
    about club activities...
[04:17] ---
    Or is it that you're just drunk on excitement--
[04:21] ---
    I like playing with them!
[04:24] ---
    I'd hate to be the only one...
    looking from the outside in!
[04:33] ---
    I'll beat you up if you tell
    the others about my hand.
[04:42] ---
    We can do today's performance without you.
[04:46] ---
    ...without you.
[04:52] ---
    Damn it.
[04:56] ---
    What is it, Kurata?
[04:58] ---
    It's bad taste to wait for people
    outside the bathroom.
[05:01] ---
    Stop playing around.
[05:03] ---
    So you were listening?
[05:05] ---
    Then I leave this thing with Kudo to you.
[05:08] ---
    It's a pain in the ass.
[05:10] ---
    Are you testing us, Mr. Takinami?
[05:14] ---
    You're always saying things that rub
    people the wrong way on purpose.
[05:17] ---
    My bad.
[05:19] ---
    I can only say what I think.
[05:23] ---
    If this was really about protecting yourself,
[05:25] ---
    you didn't have to bring him here.
[05:27] ---
    You could have taken him directly
    to the first-aid station yourself.
[05:31] ---
    I didn't think of that.
[05:33] ---
    I'll do that next time.
[05:42] ---
    I have no idea what that guy's thinking.
[05:45] ---
    Kudo...
[05:47] ---
    What should I do?
    What's the right thing to do?
[05:50] ---
    I like playing with them!
[05:53] ---
    I'd hate to be the only one...
    looking from the outside in!
[06:06] ---
    This is bad... It's gotten more
    swollen than it was before.
[06:09] ---
    It feels like the pain level
    is like five times higher, too.
[06:14] ---
    I... might be an idiot.
[06:18] ---
    Not only that,
[06:19] ---
    but "I'd hate to be the only one
    looking from the outside in"?
[06:22] ---
    What was that? So lame.
    I was acting like a kid.
[06:28] ---
    What's up?
[06:29] ---
    Don't "what's up?" me!
[06:31] ---
    Where the heck are you, Chika?!
[06:33] ---
    We've already moved the instruments
    to the tuning room!
[06:36] ---
    We're gonna play once through and then tune!
[06:39] ---
    Hurry up and get here!
[06:41] ---
    We can only use this room for 30 minutes!
[06:44] ---
    Play once through...
[06:46] ---
    Uh, sorry, Sane. The thing is...
[06:48] ---
    Isaki's breakfast this morning
    didn't agree with me.
[06:52] ---
    What?!
[06:52] ---
    I'll be there for the actual performance.
[06:54] ---
    Wai-- Hey!
[06:56] ---
    He hung up...
[06:57] ---
    What did Chika say?
[06:59] ---
    Ah, he said he's taking a dump...
[07:02] ---
    --Huh?
    --Disgusting...
[07:04] ---
    His breakfast apparently didn't
    agree with him or something.
[07:06] ---
    What?
[07:07] ---
    Is he going to be okay?
[07:11] ---
    Then I leave this thing with Kudo to you.
[07:16] ---
    Ugh, damn it.
[07:18] ---
    I can't put any strength into it.
[07:25] ---
    It means Gen's koto is finally
    going to see the light of day.
[07:28] ---
    I'm sure Gen is very happy too.
[07:35] ---
    I wanna play this properly.
[07:40] ---
    Ah, damn it.
[07:41] ---
    Chika, what are you up to?
    It's almost time for our performance!
[07:45] ---
    This is stressing me out.
[07:47] ---
    Shouldn't we go see if he's okay?
[07:49] ---
    Yeah, but...
[07:51] ---
    I wonder if Chika's okay...
[07:53] ---
    He might really be in bad shape.
[07:55] ---
    Don't you think, Hozy?
[07:57] ---
    He lacks spirit if he's going to get sick
    just before a performance.
[08:02] ---
    It's okay to admit you're worried, you know?
[08:05] ---
    I-I'm not worried about him!
[08:07] ---
    I'm worried about the performance!
[08:12] ---
    Why do I have to do this?
[08:14] ---
    Stop complaining.
[08:16] ---
    Kudo's hand must be pretty bad.
[08:19] ---
    Maybe I should stop him from performing...
[08:22] ---
    ...but...
[08:23] ---
    I like playing with them!
[08:26] ---
    That made me so happy!
[08:29] ---
    It made me want to perform
    with everyone at all costs.
[08:31] ---
    But... if I really consider
    what's best for Kudo...
[08:37] ---
    I'm sorry, everyone--
[08:40] ---
    I shouldn't be telling you this
    right before the performance,
[08:45] ---
    but Kudo is--
[08:45] ---
    My bad!
[08:47] ---
    I'm sorry for being late.
[08:48] ---
    Chika!
[08:57] ---
    Honestly, man!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[09:00] ---
    Even my stomach started hurting, you idiot!
[09:03] ---
    My bad...
[09:04] ---
    I was worried about what we'd do if you
    didn't make it for the performance!
[09:08] ---
    Playing without you would be out of
    the question after how far we've come!
[09:13] ---
    Honestly! Do you know how much
    you had us worried?!
[09:16] ---
    I'm glad you made it, Chika!
[09:19] ---
    Do you feel all refreshed now
    after getting everything out?!
[09:22] ---
    Hey, Mittsu!
[09:23] ---
    Hey, Kudo.
[09:24] ---
    Without you, our last practice
    was half-baked, you know?
[09:29] ---
    Missing just one person can completely
    change a performance,
[09:32] ---
    so don't let a little stomachache get to you.
[09:40] ---
    Everyone from Tokise High School,
    please quiet down.
[09:43] ---
    You will perform in ten minutes,
    so please move to the waiting area.
[09:46] ---
    Oh, yes! Sorry!
[09:48] ---
    Crap.
[09:49] ---
    Kudo...
[10:01] ---
    Let's make this... our best performance yet!
[10:08] ---
    Of course.
[10:14] ---
    Hearing the school before us play
    makes me even more nervous.
[10:18] ---
    Crap, my heart's going crazy.
[10:21] ---
    Kurata.
[10:22] ---
    Are you really okay with this?
[10:24] ---
    As the club president,
    I think this is the wrong decision,
[10:28] ---
    but I don't regret it.
[10:30] ---
    I thought this was the best thing to do,
[10:32] ---
    even if it's a mistake.
[10:34] ---
    I don't think you,
    looking on from the outside in,
[10:36] ---
    would understand.
[10:39] ---
    How long do you plan on
    being a bystander, Suzuka?
[10:46] ---
    I think I can probably last long enough
    to play "Kuon" once through.
[10:50] ---
    I'll make it happen!
[10:51] ---
    In the past, I'd get completely beaten up
    and bleed from fights and be totally fine.
[10:56] ---
    I can do this no problem.
[10:58] ---
    Hey, Kudo.
[10:59] ---
    You're sweating a lot.
    Does your stomach still hurt?
[11:02] ---
    Huh?! No! The spotlight's just hot.
[11:05] ---
    It's not on us yet though...
[11:09] ---
    He's acting kind of strange...
[11:15] ---
    Th-Th-Th-They finished.
[11:18] ---
    O-O-Our turn's next. C-Calm down.
[11:22] ---
    It's finally Tokise's turn, huh, Kazusa?
[11:25] ---
    Yeah.
[11:25] ---
    "Kazusa Vision"
    I look forward to seeing
[11:27] ---
    "Kazusa Vision"
    that barbarian perform
    after he blew all that smoke.
[11:31] ---
    And it's been so long...
    since I've heard Satowa perform.
[11:36] ---
    But why couldn't it have been a solo?!
[11:38] ---
    I don't need to hear all those
    unnecessary sounds!
[11:40] ---
    --Why aren't I the one playing with her?!
[11:42] ---
    --Such a busy girl...
    --Why aren't I the one playing with her?!
[11:45] ---
    Ousuke!
[11:47] ---
    Kou!
[11:48] ---
    You've come to listen to Tokise play too?
[11:50] ---
    Yeah.
[11:51] ---
    We did have a practice
    session together after all.
[11:54] ---
    You also seemed interested in them.
[11:56] ---
    Yeah. I'm interested to hear what kind
    of sound that guy can produce.
[12:01] ---
    "That guy"?
[12:02] ---
    Not the girl Ootori was interested in?
[12:04] ---
    Yeah. That guy that really stood out.
[12:08] ---
    We've only met twice,
[12:09] ---
    but he really cherishes what he loves,
[12:13] ---
    so I wondered what kind of tone
    that kind of person would have.
[12:18] ---
    Won't it just be stupidly straightforward?
[12:23] ---
    You might be right...
[12:25] ---
    S-Sen...
[12:27] ---
    A-Are we really gonna listen
    this close to the stage?
[12:31] ---
    Yeah. It's that idiot's turn next after all.
[12:34] ---
    We're gonna pressure him from the first row!
[12:40] ---
    Is everyone ready?
[12:42] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[12:54] ---
    This is totally different from
    the view from the audience chairs.
[12:58] ---
    It's so bright.
[13:00] ---
    This is different from the time
    we performed "Ryuuseigun."
[13:02] ---
    Everyone here came to listen
    to us from the start.
[13:05] ---
    I-I'm so scared.
    I can't even look at the audience.
[13:13] ---
    It's my first time returning to
    the stage since that time...
[13:18] ---
    I don't regret it.
[13:20] ---
    I thought this was the best thing to do,
[13:22] ---
    even if it's a mistake.
[13:24] ---
    He's gotten pretty bold.
[13:28] ---
    I really hope you don't regret this--
[13:31] ---
    whatever performance this turns into.
[13:34] ---
    Number 24,
[13:36] ---
    Tokise High School
    from Kanagawa prefecture,
[13:40] ---
    performing "Kuon."
[13:45] ---
    "Kuon"
[13:49] ---
    Number 24,
[13:51] ---
    Tokise High School
    from Kanagawa prefecture,
[13:54] ---
    performing "Kuon."
[14:07] ---
    Wind?
[14:18] ---
    Hold up! Until the end!
[14:35] ---
    Every note is resounding so beautifully.
[14:40] ---
    No wonder Kazusa has been making a fuss.
[14:46] ---
    It's Satowa's... solo.
[14:49] ---
    The tone quality seems a little
    different from before though...
[15:17] ---
    All right, let me hear it--
[15:20] ---
    whether you can truly keep up with Satowa.
[15:30] ---
    I can do this!
[15:31] ---
    This is the duet we've practiced so much.
[15:33] ---
    Duet number one.
[15:41] ---
    We aren't together!
[15:43] ---
    Kudo!
[15:45] ---
    I thought they had their duet down perfectly!
[15:49] ---
    My, my.
[15:50] ---
    The difference in skill level between
    the 17 string and the others is incredible.
[15:52] ---
    It's not just that they aren't together.
[15:54] ---
    Kudo's playing is so much quieter than usu--
[15:58] ---
    What's with his hand? Is it bruised?
[16:00] ---
    How?! Since when?!
[16:03] ---
    Hozuki!
[16:06] ---
    Then?
[16:08] ---
    No way... What should I do?
[16:09] ---
    It's because he protected me!
[16:11] ---
    How didn't I notice...?
[16:14] ---
    The 17 string's tempo is wavering!
[16:16] ---
    It's suddenly gotten harder to play.
[16:18] ---
    Whoa, so sloppy. They're all over the place.
[16:24] ---
    What's... happening?!
[16:26] ---
    What should I do? My decision was--
[16:29] ---
    What am I doing?! What am I doing?!
[16:33] ---
    This is a horrible performance because of me.
[16:35] ---
    We're in this sorry state because
[16:37] ---
    I selfishly decided to perform like this.
[16:39] ---
    Everyone can actually play really well!
[16:41] ---
    Hozuki is much better than this!
[16:45] ---
    Shit... Shit!
[16:48] ---
    So it turned out this way after all...
[16:50] ---
    No one's heart is in it.
[16:54] ---
    I shouldn't get involved after all.
[16:57] ---
    I have to somehow lead everyone
[16:59] ---
    while supporting Kudo's sound!
[17:01] ---
    But how?!
[17:04] ---
    If the power to lead people like
    that boy can is somewhere inside me...
[17:09] ---
    We're almost at the part Kota struggles with...
[17:12] ---
    What should I do?
[17:13] ---
    At this rate, he'll mess up and--
[17:20] ---
    What?! That was Kota just now?!
[17:22] ---
    Amazing, Kota!
[17:24] ---
    His timing was perfect!
[17:26] ---
    Mizuhara...
[17:27] ---
    I'd hate for it to end like this!
[17:30] ---
    For the people that didn't abandon
    someone like me and came looking for me
[17:33] ---
    to end their performance without a smile...
[17:38] ---
    I'd absolutely hate it!
[17:43] ---
    You're right, Kota.
[17:45] ---
    It's not over yet!
[17:52] ---
    That's right.
[17:55] ---
    What am I doing...
[17:57] ---
    ...not believing in the decision
    I made until the end?!
[18:03] ---
    We're almost at the second duet!
[18:07] ---
    It's okay.
[18:09] ---
    The notes will definitely...
[18:11] ---
    ...play where we want them to!
[18:19] ---
    Wh-What is this?!
[18:20] ---
    They're playing totally different than before!
[18:22] ---
    Kudo!
[18:32] ---
    After this, it's the first koto solo.
    First Takezo, then Kudo's.
[18:36] ---
    I won't be able to hide any mistakes.
[18:50] ---
    I'm not alone anymore.
[18:53] ---
    The sound that believed in me... is right here.
[18:58] ---
    Someone will fill in the sound I lack.
[19:16] ---
    Next is Kudo's solo.
[19:40] ---
    Hey, Hozuki.
[19:43] ---
    Don't you dare try and
    "match" our level, okay?
[19:47] ---
    Just play with all you've got!
[19:49] ---
    That's it. I'll lead in my own way.
[19:54] ---
    Of course I will.
[20:03] ---
    Hozuki?
[20:08] ---
    Here we go!
[20:10] ---
    At this rate, the second half...
    is gonna liven up!
[20:48] ---
    The wind, it's--
[20:55] ---
    I don't understand
[20:56] ---
    the meaning in continuing music
    when people like you
[20:59] ---
    look like you're suffering.
[21:01] ---
    My bad for "suffering."
[21:02] ---
    But I can't quit.
[21:03] ---
    Why not?
[21:05] ---
    That's because...
[21:15] ---
    ...once I found it, I couldn't not get involved...
[21:20] ---
    ...with the sound that sways
    my heart so intensely.
[21:38] ---
    "Chika"
