[01:33] ---
    "#15 Becoming Aware"
    I came in for some reason even though
    we don't have morning practice today.
[01:38] ---
    We lost yesterday...
[01:41] ---
    ...to a school whose performance
    we didn't even hear.
[01:45] ---
    You guys can become even better.
[01:54] ---
    Hm? It's not locked?
[01:57] ---
    Ah...
[01:59] ---
    Why are you here?
[02:00] ---
    Why are you here? I told you guys
    there's no practice today.
[02:04] ---
    Yeah, we know.
[02:06] ---
    But we've practiced koto
    day in and day out all summer.
[02:09] ---
    So we don't know what else
    to do with ourselves now.
[02:12] ---
    Guys...
[02:13] ---
    Jeez... This is no different
    from any other day after all.
[02:17] ---
    Our next competition
    is the national qualifier, right?
[02:20] ---
    Which piece are we playing?
[02:21] ---
    We can practice "Kuon" more,
    or maybe learn a new piece?
[02:25] ---
    Wha...? You guys are all here?
    Don't you have anything else to do?
[02:30] ---
    Mr. Takinami?! Why're you here?
[02:32] ---
    Never mind.
[02:33] ---
    Well then, here.
[02:37] ---
    "For School Festival"
    Sheet music?
[02:38] ---
    It's a medley of a bunch of pieces
    that are popular these days.
[02:43] ---
    Your next performance is
    the school festival in September.
[02:46] ---
    Play this piece for that.
[02:47] ---
    What?
[02:48] ---
    You guys have a serious lack of
    experience performing in public.
[02:51] ---
    As a first step, grab any chance
    to gain experience.
[02:56] ---
    Say something.
[02:58] ---
    You sound like a club advisor.
[03:01] ---
    That's because I am your club advisor.
[03:03] ---
    Suzu...!
[03:04] ---
    But an arrangement of popular pieces?
    Where'd you find sheet music like this?
[03:09] ---
    I didn't. I wrote it.
[03:11] ---
    Oh, that makes sense.
[03:13] ---
    It even has koto notation written in.
[03:16] ---
    Huh?!
[03:17] ---
    You wrote it?!
[03:17] ---
    Y-You mean you wrote it?!
[03:20] ---
    Who else could it be?
[03:22] ---
    But it's a music piece.
    And it even has koto notation!
[03:25] ---
    I thought you had no
    experience with the koto!
[03:27] ---
    After two years of being a koto club advisor,
[03:29] ---
    I can at least read and write a koto score.
[03:33] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[03:35] ---
    Wow...
[03:36] ---
    If even a non-koto player like him can do it,
    maybe we can already do it, too.
[03:39] ---
    No way!
[03:41] ---
    You guys really are idiots!
[03:42] ---
    Mr. Takinami, what on earth...?
[03:44] ---
    Enough about me. More importantly,
    that score has three parts.
[03:47] ---
    First and second koto and the 17-string.
[03:51] ---
    I made the 17-string part simpler.
[03:54] ---
    So this time, instead of Hozuki,
    you play it, Adachi.
[03:58] ---
    What? Me?
[03:59] ---
    You have a good sense of rhythm and power,
    so you're probably suited for it.
[04:05] ---
    There's a little less than
    a month till the school festival.
[04:07] ---
    We've got enough time.
[04:09] ---
    So we'll also decide on the piece
    for the qualifier during this time.
[04:12] ---
    I'll look for one, too, but Hozuki,
[04:14] ---
    you're more familiar with koto music,
    so let me know if you find something.
[04:18] ---
    Well then... practice that piece, okay?
[04:22] ---
    What? Huh? What the heck is going on?
    What happened to Suzu?
[04:27] ---
    I-I don't know.
[04:30] ---
    "For School Festival"
[04:31] ---
    "For School Festival"
    But...
[04:34] ---
    And one more thing.
[04:35] ---
    Make sure you finish your summer assignments,
[04:39] ---
    or you'll attract the vice principal's
    attention again,
[04:41] ---
    and then you might not be able
    to perform at the school festival.
[04:44] ---
    What assignments?
[04:46] ---
    We had assignments?
[04:47] ---
    Eeeek.
[04:50] ---
    You don't have to worry, Takezo.
[04:54] ---
    We've got the ultimate secret weapon.
[04:58] ---
    What?
[04:59] ---
    "Math I"
    Thanks for helping us again!
[05:02] ---
    I'm sorry that I tagged along, Takaoka.
[05:05] ---
    No, actually, I appreciate it.
[05:07] ---
    I can't handle them all by myself,
    so it'd be great
[05:09] ---
    if you could help me teach them.
[05:12] ---
    At any rate, I didn't expect Takaoka
    to be their secret weapon.
[05:17] ---
    Tetsuki is super smart.
[05:19] ---
    It's thanks to him that we
    were able to get into Tokise.
[05:22] ---
    He got the highest score on the entrance exam.
[05:24] ---
    What?!
[05:25] ---
    Okay then. Let's start with math.
[05:28] ---
    Alrighty.
[05:30] ---
    "Math I"
[05:36] ---
    Hey, Tetsuki.
[05:38] ---
    It looks like the math textbook
    isn't doing well right now,
[05:41] ---
    so let's work on a different subject.
[05:42] ---
    It's your head that's not doing well.
[05:46] ---
    "30 minutes later"
[05:49] ---
    Math is scary. Math is scary.
[05:52] ---
    I'm hungry.
[05:53] ---
    That's too soon!
[05:54] ---
    I mean, what's the deal with X and Y?!
[05:56] ---
    Aren't they trying too hard
    to hide their identities?
[05:58] ---
    They should live more confidently!
    Are they shy or what?!
[06:00] ---
    We just aren't that into you, you know!
[06:03] ---
    --I-It certainly isn't easy to teach them.
[06:03] ---
    --The hell with X!
    --I-It certainly isn't easy to teach them.
[06:07] ---
    I wonder how Takaoka does it...
[06:09] ---
    --Stupid idiots! What's their problem?!
[06:10] ---
    --So you guys are just gonna
    turn your backs on X and Y, huh?
    --Stupid idiots! What's their problem?!
[06:11] ---
    --So you guys are just gonna
    turn your backs on X and Y, huh?
    --Stop messing with us!
[06:13] ---
    --So you guys are just gonna
    turn your backs on X and Y, huh?
    --I don't get it anymore!
[06:17] ---
    T-Turn our backs on...?
[06:19] ---
    They've been forced to conceal
    their identities since birth
[06:24] ---
    and live in solitude, unable to reveal
    their true selves to anyone.
[06:28] ---
    And you guys just turn your backs on them,
    saying, "Who cares?"
[06:31] ---
    Poor things.
[06:35] ---
    Since birth...
[06:37] ---
    In solitude...
[06:39] ---
    Poor X...! Poor Y...!
[06:41] ---
    We're sorry!
    We're not gonna leave you alone!
[06:45] ---
    I'm not gonna give up on you!
[06:47] ---
    What?!
[06:49] ---
    Mr. Tetsu! Tell me how I can
    save X from her solitude!
[06:53] ---
    Mr. Takezo! Please teach me this!
[07:05] ---
    It's kinda nice... to spend time
    like this for a change.
[07:11] ---
    All right! We're done with English, too!
[07:15] ---
    Tetsu.
[07:16] ---
    What?
[07:17] ---
    I'm hungry. Dinner!
[07:22] ---
    Let me help you.
[07:23] ---
    Ah... Thank you very much.
[07:26] ---
    Well then, could you wash those vegetables?
[07:29] ---
    Okay.
[07:34] ---
    At any rate, you really are smart.
    You're good at teaching, too.
[07:39] ---
    Yeah?
[07:41] ---
    Yeah. Couldn't you have gone
    to a better high school?
[07:44] ---
    Why did you come to Tokise?
[07:46] ---
    Well...
[07:47] ---
    No reason in particular.
[07:50] ---
    It's close to my house, and it seemed
    more fun at Tokise, so...
[07:53] ---
    That's all.
[07:55] ---
    I see.
[07:56] ---
    Hey, four-eyes!
[07:58] ---
    If you're in the kitchen, too,
    there's no one to teach us!
[08:02] ---
    What? Ahh, sorry.
[08:03] ---
    You're still calling him "four-eyes"?
[08:07] ---
    Shut up.
[08:08] ---
    Oh, but there was one time
    when you called me "sir."
[08:11] ---
    What?
[08:12] ---
    Though it was a while back. Remember?
[08:14] ---
    You wanna get hurt?
[08:17] ---
    But well, with all said and done...
[08:19] ---
    If there's something you
    can't solve on your own,
[08:21] ---
    let's all think about it together!
[08:23] ---
    Mizuhara. Don't feel like you
    have to rush yourself.
[08:27] ---
    ...I feel like you really are
    the club president.
[08:29] ---
    What?
[08:30] ---
    It was a long time ago,
[08:33] ---
    but like the time like when Hozuki
    told us about her situation...
[08:36] ---
    I... have been excommunicated
    from the Hozuki school.
[08:39] ---
    Hozuki...
[08:41] ---
    Thank you for telling us!
[08:44] ---
    It was probably what she wanted
    to hear the most at that moment.
[08:48] ---
    It's incredible that you said
    those words so promptly.
[08:52] ---
    I can't say things like that, so...
[08:59] ---
    What? A-Are you crying?
[09:02] ---
    No! It's the onion!
[09:04] ---
    You haven't even peeled it yet, though.
[09:07] ---
    Let's go back to studying already. Jeez...
[09:10] ---
    I'll be fine, so please go help them.
[09:13] ---
    S-Sorry.
[09:16] ---
    Kurata.
[09:18] ---
    Thank you.
[09:20] ---
    What?
[09:21] ---
    When Chika told me that he was
    going to join the koto club,
[09:25] ---
    I thought it'd be tough for him in many ways.
[09:27] ---
    I thought he'd be rejected by the club members.
[09:32] ---
    But I was wrong.
[09:36] ---
    Kurata.
[09:37] ---
    Thank you for preserving the only place
    where he could get over his hardships.
[09:49] ---
    That's my line.
[09:54] ---
    Kudo is a new member of the koto club!
[09:58] ---
    It's only natural that he'd be in the club room!
[10:00] ---
    We're members of the same club, after all.
[10:03] ---
    I don't want to lose my precious friends
    or the place I belong,
[10:05] ---
    so we are going to play this piece
    till the very end.
[10:08] ---
    I felt like I should tell you all this.
[10:10] ---
    What will you do?
[10:12] ---
    Will you quit?
[10:13] ---
    Let's make this... our best performance yet!
[10:20] ---
    Whoooa! It looks yummy!
[10:24] ---
    Thank you!
[10:25] ---
    Wow! It's yummy!
[10:28] ---
    Tetsuki's curry is the best curry.
[10:31] ---
    Thanks. Actually, I wanted
    to let it stand about a day, but...
[10:35] ---
    I'll eat it again tomorrow.
[10:36] ---
    What? Are you guys staying over?
[10:38] ---
    Is that a problem?
[10:39] ---
    Well, it's not a problem, I guess.
[10:42] ---
    Seconds, please!
[10:43] ---
    That was fast.
[10:47] ---
    The son of Kaoru Takinami
    and Tsukasa Yukimori?!
[10:50] ---
    So I heard.
[10:51] ---
    You know about them, Takezo?
[10:54] ---
    What?! You guys don't know them?!
[10:55] ---
    He's a world-renowned conductor,
    and she's a piano prodigy!
[10:58] ---
    Are they famous?
[10:59] ---
    They are. Even I know about them.
[11:02] ---
    Having them as his parents,
    he must have quite a good ear for music.
[11:08] ---
    So someone like that, who's always
    listened to super high-level music,
[11:11] ---
    said our performance was good, huh?
[11:14] ---
    That makes me feel extra happy.
[11:20] ---
    I'm happy for you guys.
[11:24] ---
    All right! I'm getting fired up!
[11:26] ---
    Let's hurry up and finish the assignments!
[11:29] ---
    Okay, then, Tetsuki.
    Let's exchange assignments.
[11:31] ---
    How about I deck you instead?!
[11:38] ---
    "Impatient"
    "The only one practicing
    with a cardboard koto"
[11:41] ---
    "September 1"
[11:44] ---
    Completely healed!
[11:45] ---
    Are you serious?! It's only been
    two weeks or so, hasn't it?
[11:49] ---
    Don't underestimate my healing power.
[11:52] ---
    If you aren't careful, you'll hurt it again.
[11:54] ---
    Oh? It's been a while since
    the last time you wore hair down.
[11:58] ---
    Wh-What? Is that a problem?
[12:00] ---
    No, it doesn't matter either way.
[12:03] ---
    Is that so?
[12:04] ---
    Why are you upset?
[12:06] ---
    I'm not. This is how I usually am.
[12:10] ---
    Well, with a majority vote, it's now decided
[12:12] ---
    "Okonomiyaki Takoyaki Waffles Churros Crêpes"
    that we'll do a waffle booth
    at the school festival!
[12:15] ---
    And we're going to decide on
    the roles now as well.
[12:23] ---
    I can't believe we're even on
    the shopping team together.
[12:26] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:27] ---
    Why are you apologizing?
[12:29] ---
    Why do I, of all people,
    have to be with boring people?
[12:33] ---
    Hey, Miyu!
[12:34] ---
    What? You know, you've become
    really mellow lately.
[12:38] ---
    You used to make fun of Kurata
    by calling him Nadeshiko, too.
[12:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:53] ---
    No problem at all.
[12:54] ---
    Why're you laughing?
[12:55] ---
    Well, you've said harsher things
    to my face, so...
[13:00] ---
    Besides... I know what you're like now.
[13:05] ---
    So don't worry.
[13:09] ---
    Oh... shoot...
[13:11] ---
    I feel like...
[13:13] ---
    ...crying...
[13:15] ---
    Hey, what's with that reaction?
    Don't tell me you--
[13:18] ---
    Saeki.
[13:20] ---
    Your ability to pick up
    on things needs some work.
[13:23] ---
    Huh?! I don't wanna be told that
    by a boring guy like you!
[13:25] ---
    You don't know what you should
    or shouldn't say, either.
[13:28] ---
    You seriously piss me off!
[13:30] ---
    A Japanese-style cafe?
    Your class will be doing that?
[13:34] ---
    Serving things like matcha au lait
    and hojicha latte?
[13:36] ---
    And strawberry daifuku!
[13:38] ---
    Strawberry daifuku?
[13:40] ---
    Chika insisted and it became
    part of the menu.
[13:43] ---
    Who has an idea for the menu?
[13:46] ---
    Strawberry daifuku!
[13:50] ---
    The class got noisy, saying like,
    "Kudo suggested strawberry daifuku?
[13:53] ---
    How're we supposed to react to that?"
[13:56] ---
    What about you guys' class?
[13:58] ---
    A classic--a haunted house!
[14:00] ---
    Anyhow, I could see the three of you
    participating in the school festival,
[14:04] ---
    but Chika, too? I'm surprised.
    You'll perform, too, right?
[14:07] ---
    Yeah.
[14:08] ---
    Before I played it, I thought it was
    probably a lame medley.
[14:11] ---
    But then, it was actually a super cool piece.
[14:13] ---
    Yeah. Not only are
    Mr. Takinami's parents amazing,
[14:16] ---
    but he's no ordinary person, either.
[14:19] ---
    The other day, too...
[14:21] ---
    These are music CDs and DVDs that
    I don't think you normally listen to.
[14:25] ---
    As a first step, listen to all of them.
[14:27] ---
    What?
[14:28] ---
    This is an inordinate amount...
[14:30] ---
    This is only a fraction
    of what I carefully selected.
[14:33] ---
    The amount of music you guys come
    in contact with is overwhelmingly small.
[14:38] ---
    Listen to a variety of excellent
    music as often as possible,
[14:41] ---
    and learn various sounds and expressions.
[14:43] ---
    Absorb them into yourselves.
[14:45] ---
    Develop a great deal of musicality.
[14:47] ---
    When you do, playing the koto
    will become a lot more fun.
[14:52] ---
    Well then, make sure you listen to them.
[14:54] ---
    Um, Mr. Takinami! You're not going
    to help us with our performance?
[14:57] ---
    After you finish those CDs and DVDs.
[15:01] ---
    So we've been listening to that
    music all day long, every day.
[15:05] ---
    Sounds like you guys will get busy again.
[15:08] ---
    Don't feel so lonely, Tetsu.
[15:10] ---
    We'll make sure to go over
    and eat with you sometimes.
[15:12] ---
    --Don't come.
    --Ow!
[15:14] ---
    Anyhow, I was surprised earlier.
[15:16] ---
    I thought Kudo was scary,
    but then, he likes strawberries?
[15:20] ---
    When it was decided, he looked happy.
    He's super cute!
[15:23] ---
    C-Cute?
[15:26] ---
    Satowa. What's Kudo like during club?
[15:30] ---
    What? Wh-What's he like?
    I think he's just normal...
[15:34] ---
    There are more guys than girls
    in the koto club, right?
[15:38] ---
    Is there anyone you like, Satowa?
[15:40] ---
    What?! N-No, there's no one like that!
[15:43] ---
    Really?!
[15:44] ---
    Hey, I got a boyfriend over the summer.
    He's from another school.
[15:48] ---
    You did?! I envy you!
[15:50] ---
    Wh-What's this conversation?
[15:52] ---
    Is this what girls normally talk about?
[15:55] ---
    I-I can't follow it at all.
[15:58] ---
    "Koto Nut" "Club Activity Nut"
[16:00] ---
    "Koto Club"
[16:01] ---
    Yeah, it's normal for the number
    of couples to increase after summer.
[16:05] ---
    We're high-school girls in
    the flower of youth after all.
[16:08] ---
    I didn't realize girls are like that.
[16:10] ---
    Hiro... Do you think I'm a little off?
[16:15] ---
    I don't get those kinds of topics at all.
[16:17] ---
    Aww, you're so cute.
[16:19] ---
    It's okay. I like you
    just the way you are, Hozy.
[16:22] ---
    I-Is there... someone... who, um... y-you like?
[16:30] ---
    What?
[16:32] ---
    There's no one.
[16:34] ---
    What was that pause for?
[16:35] ---
    S'up?!
[16:37] ---
    Oh, Sane. Are you by yourself today?
[16:40] ---
    Well, Mittsu and Kota are on cleaning duty,
    so I left them behind.
[16:43] ---
    I wanted to practice sooner, so...
[16:45] ---
    I get it. You're playing
    the 17-string this time, so...
[16:48] ---
    I feel a little pressure,
[16:50] ---
    but I'm happy about
    being entrusted with this.
[16:53] ---
    I feel like I'm being given some credit.
[16:55] ---
    So, I'm sorry to bother you again, Hozuki,
[16:57] ---
    but please instruct me
    on the 17-string today, too!
[17:00] ---
    I'll work you hard.
[17:01] ---
    Thanks!
[17:03] ---
    This atmosphere makes me feel comfortable.
    It's more suited for me.
[17:10] ---
    Is there... someone... you like?
[17:15] ---
    Focus! We're gonna go
    to nationals for sure!
[17:19] ---
    I should follow Sane's example
    and practice hard!
[17:22] ---
    Hm?
[17:23] ---
    Hey, shopping team! Can you go shopping?
[17:27] ---
    Here, this is the shopping list.
[17:28] ---
    Okay.
[17:30] ---
    Well then, shall we go?
[17:31] ---
    What? Just the two of us?
[17:33] ---
    The other two aren't around, so...
[17:36] ---
    If you don't want to, I can go by myself.
[17:38] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[17:43] ---
    Hey, why am I feeling restless?
[17:46] ---
    I don't get it.
[17:48] ---
    When I think about it, we've been
    alone in his room before, right?
[17:52] ---
    It's just shopping. A piece of cake.
[17:54] ---
    Hm?
[17:55] ---
    Hiro?
[17:58] ---
    What...? This voice...
[18:02] ---
    Ah! I was right. It's you, Hiro!
[18:08] ---
    I heard you've been complaining
    about me to your friends?
[18:11] ---
    Hiro! I heard you've been harassing Minami
[18:14] ---
    because you don't want her
    to steal your man, right?
[18:16] ---
    What's with that? You're the worst.
[18:18] ---
    What a coincidence! It's been a while, huh?
[18:21] ---
    Mi... nami... Naoya...
[18:26] ---
    Are they your friends, Kurusu?
[18:31] ---
    Is he the guy you're dating now?
[18:33] ---
    N-No.
[18:34] ---
    I still hear bad things about you.
[18:38] ---
    Are you still doing
    the kind of stuff you did to us?
[18:41] ---
    I didn't do anything to you two.
[18:44] ---
    I told you that... so many times.
[18:47] ---
    You said that and never gave us
    any word of apology.
[18:52] ---
    Why do I...?
[18:59] ---
    Sorry, but we're in a hurry, so...
[19:02] ---
    Let's go.
[19:07] ---
    You should be careful.
    If you trust her, one day, you'll--
[19:16] ---
    You needn't worry... since I'm
    a better judge of people than you.
[19:34] ---
    Kurata... Kurata!
[19:37] ---
    My hand... Hand!
[19:38] ---
    Ah, yeah. Sorry.
[19:41] ---
    U... Um...
[19:44] ---
    Well then, let's go finish shopping.
[19:50] ---
    Oh, no...
[19:52] ---
    Shoot...
[19:54] ---
    My heart... Don't beat so loudly... Don't!
[20:01] ---
    Hozuki, what're you making?
[20:03] ---
    Wh-What am I making? Can't you tell?
[20:07] ---
    The menu we'll put out outside our classroom.
[20:10] ---
    "Green Tea 150 yen"
    "Hojicha 150 yen"
    "Matcha Latte 150"
    Hmm...
[20:12] ---
    What's this?
[20:13] ---
    Drawing of a teacup.
[20:15] ---
    And this?
[20:16] ---
    S-Strawberry daifuku.
[20:22] ---
    Amazing...! You're such a great artist.
[20:27] ---
    What? Kudo laughed?!
[20:30] ---
    "Orange"
[20:32] ---
    What're you doing?
[20:34] ---
    What? Ah...
[20:37] ---
    N-Nothing.
[20:39] ---
    Really, what am I doing?
[20:42] ---
    Anyway, isn't this base board too distorted?
[20:46] ---
    I got scrap wood, so...
[20:48] ---
    I'll fix it for you. Give me the tool.
[20:51] ---
    Hey! A nail is sticking out there!
[21:01] ---
    Whoa! S-Sorry!
[21:04] ---
    Don't get it wrong! It was,
    you know, that! An accident!
[21:07] ---
    I meant no harm!
[21:09] ---
    Well, I moved forward suddenly, so...
[21:16] ---
    What? Hm? Why?
[21:20] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:21] ---
    Ah... Hozuki...
[21:24] ---
    I made her cry...
[21:31] ---
    My face feels hot... What should I do?
[21:37] ---
    It feels hot...
[21:48] ---
    Look! Mine looks super scary!
[21:50] ---
    Let's put more fake blood!
[23:38] ---
    Next time, "Their Time."
