"#5 Let Our Sound Resound and Reach Them"
I really couldn't bear to look at Chika back then.
[01:34] ---
But I'm glad he was able to
pick himself back up again.
[01:37] ---
Moreover, he's really trying to understand
the kotos his grandfather loved
[01:42] ---
in the koto club his grandfather created.
[01:44] ---
We can't do much to help,
[01:47] ---
but we want to at least
be there for him, you know?
[01:50] ---
Anyways, I'm rambling now.
[01:52] ---
Oh, don't tell Chika about this, okay?
[01:55] ---
Huh? Wai-- Hozuki?!
[01:58] ---
No way...
[01:59] ---
The group he used to hang out with
[02:01] ---
smashed up his grandfather's house
and the instruments he made
[02:05] ---
and pinned it on Chika.
[02:06] ---
He was viewed with disdain by everyone,
[02:09] ---
and around the same time,
his grandfather died...
[02:12] ---
Even so, Chika sees it as something
he has to take responsibility for.
[02:18] ---
Anyone who is willing
to damage the instruments
[02:20] ---
doesn't have what it takes to play the koto.
[02:23] ---
What should I do?
[02:25] ---
If we don't get anyone to join
and we disband, it'll be your fault!
[02:29] ---
What should I do?
[02:30] ---
I couldn't bear it if I let you
carry it and it got damaged!
[02:34] ---
What should I do?
[02:37] ---
If we're pointing fingers, then it's
all because you're here, isn't it?
[02:43] ---
What the--? Oh, it's you?
[02:45] ---
A-Are you crying?
[02:47] ---
No way I am! It's hay fever!
[02:50] ---
L-Looks rough...
[02:58] ---
If you're going to be late to the club,
I'll let four-eyes know.
[03:04] ---
He said he wanted to earn "what it takes."
[03:07] ---
I'll use them well...
[03:09] ---
If you can't do it, just say so.
[03:11] ---
If you don't know something,
just say you don't know.
[03:20] ---
Sorry!
[03:23] ---
I-I heard about your grandfather...
and everything...
[03:29] ---
I said so many horrible things...
[03:32] ---
...not knowing anything about why
you joined the koto club...
[03:36] ---
I'm so sorry.
[03:40] ---
You're scary when you're nice.
[03:43] ---
Wha--?! When someone's seriously--
[03:51] ---
So, what?
[03:52] ---
That's what you've been crying about?
[03:54] ---
So you can be cute sometimes, huh? Satowa?
[03:58] ---
You're so annoying, stupid Kudo!
[04:00] ---
Let's go to the clubroom already!
[04:03] ---
Sounds do not lie.
[04:06] ---
Sounds reveal a person's true nature.
[04:09] ---
His sound is...
[04:14] ---
A presentation from the koto club?
[04:16] ---
At the school's morning assembly
the week after next!
[04:20] ---
Whether or not those kids are
actually serious about the club
[04:23] ---
must be ascertained.
[04:25] ---
And we'll drive Kudo out of the school,
along with the koto club!
[04:31] ---
You have no problem with that, right?
[04:33] ---
Koto club advisor, Takinami?
[04:36] ---
Yes, please feel free.
[04:39] ---
"Koto Club"
[04:39] ---
"Koto Club"
Stop!
[04:41] ---
Try playing that with a more focused sound.
[04:44] ---
What?
[04:44] ---
Would it sound more focused
if my fingers were harder?
[04:48] ---
That's not what I meant...
[04:50] ---
Play it like you played that other time.
[04:53] ---
What other time?
[04:55] ---
I mean...
[04:56] ---
Like you played when you were
practicing alone at the music store!
[04:59] ---
You think I remember how I played then?!
[05:01] ---
You're so useless!
[05:02] ---
What?!
[05:03] ---
Hozuki!
[05:04] ---
I understand what you're trying to say,
[05:05] ---
but playing a focused sound at will
is difficult for beginners, right?
[05:09] ---
You're right.
[05:10] ---
I was a fool to expect anything
from someone like Kudo.
[05:14] ---
You've gone and said it now, haven't you?!
[05:16] ---
H-Hozuki, you went a little too far.
[05:32] ---
W-We made it to the end
without stopping for the first time!
[05:36] ---
Yay!
[05:37] ---
If we can play like this for the real thing--
[05:39] ---
Well, I think we've reached
the bare minimum level of playing.
[05:42] ---
Can't you be honestly happy
about something for once?!
[05:46] ---
We'd be in trouble if we couldn't even
play to the end without stopping.
[05:51] ---
Now, now...
[05:52] ---
To us, that's a big step.
[05:54] ---
I've made tea. Take a little break.
[06:00] ---
So, Granny! How was our performance?
[06:03] ---
Well, if it were a test,
you'd have passed, barely.
[06:07] ---
What's with that phrasing?
[06:09] ---
I mean, you lot...
[06:10] ---
You want to satisfy your whole school
with this performance, no?
[06:14] ---
Moving people's hearts through music
is not an easy thing to do.
[06:18] ---
You all are practicing well.
[06:21] ---
You have good technique,
and a powerful sound, as well.
[06:24] ---
After this, it's about putting
feeling into your playing.
[06:28] ---
Putting feeling into our playing?
[06:30] ---
That's right.
[06:31] ---
Why are you playing?
Who do you want your music to reach?
[06:35] ---
Just being conscious of that a little
changes your tone completely.
[06:39] ---
Try playing as if
[06:41] ---
you're letting out the words
you want to tell your loved ones.
[06:44] ---
Sound is another language for those
that can't communicate well.
[06:50] ---
It's perfect for clumsy and
easily-misunderstood people like you lot.
[07:10] ---
"Koto Club"
Yo, Chika!
[07:11] ---
"Koto Club"
What are you doing
standing here all spaced out?
[07:13] ---
Let's go in already!
[07:15] ---
That hurt! Anyway, stop being
so noisy so early in the morning!
[07:18] ---
Whoa, you set up all our instruments already?!
[07:21] ---
Wow! Thanks, Hozuki!
[07:23] ---
H-Hey!
[07:25] ---
Kota, you need to stop hugging
people without thinking...
[07:28] ---
Why? I don't see a problem.
[07:31] ---
She's a friend in the same koto club, after all.
[07:34] ---
Oh, you guys are early today!
[07:36] ---
--Yeah!
--'Morning, Takezo!
[07:36] ---
--'Morning!
--'Morning, Takezo!
[07:37] ---
Good morning!
[07:38] ---
We just got here, too.
[07:40] ---
Everything's already prepared perfectly!
[07:42] ---
Hozuki did it for us!
[07:44] ---
Let's practice already!
[07:47] ---
Everyone probably joined the koto club
[07:50] ---
for different reasons...
[07:53] ---
But the reason we play
is surely one and the same.
[07:58] ---
It's finally time for our performance.
[07:59] ---
Right, then, let's move
the instruments to the gym!
[08:08] ---
Wait!
[08:09] ---
It's harder to carry the 17-string, so...
[08:12] ---
You carry it.
[08:14] ---
I'll carry that one.
[08:16] ---
But if I carry it, it could get damaged.
[08:19] ---
Then you can repay me.
[08:31] ---
A-All the students are really here.
[08:34] ---
Is this for real...?
[08:35] ---
Shit... What is this?
[08:37] ---
My heart has moved to my ear...
[08:40] ---
Am I dying?!
[08:41] ---
Can we really play like this?!
[08:44] ---
Um, we will begin the morning assembly now.
[08:47] ---
--Wh-What should I do?
--First, a word from the principal...
[08:49] ---
As the club president,
I have to say something...
[08:52] ---
But what exactly should I say?
[08:54] ---
We'll be just fine.
[08:56] ---
No matter how nervous you get,
or how blank your head gets,
[09:00] ---
your hands will remember what to do.
[09:01] ---
Hozuki...
[09:03] ---
Well, I'm here, so we have nothing
to worry about anyway.
[09:07] ---
Why do you always--
[09:09] ---
You got something to say, scaredy-cat?
[09:11] ---
Sorry, Hozuki. And, thank you.
[09:14] ---
I should really be the more dependable one...
[09:18] ---
No, I'm sorry.
[09:19] ---
I think I was out of line.
[09:22] ---
No, not at all!
[09:23] ---
Up until recently, I thought
[09:26] ---
the mistake of one person in an ensemble
meant a mistake for everyone,
[09:28] ---
that it was something scary.
[09:30] ---
But now,
[09:32] ---
I believe we can help each other out
[09:35] ---
in the areas where one person
is not enough or is lacking.
[09:38] ---
Hozuki...
[09:40] ---
When it comes to the koto,
[09:42] ---
I rush ahead and become unable
to see the things around me.
[09:45] ---
So you've helped me out a lot.
[09:48] ---
Uh, next is a word from the vice-principal.
[09:52] ---
Let's get ready.
[09:54] ---
Uh, today we will have a special
performance from the koto club.
[09:59] ---
About a month ago, they made
a certain promise to me.
[10:04] ---
If they can't do a performance
that satisfies the whole school,
[10:07] ---
the koto club will disband.
That was the promise.
[10:10] ---
The fate of the koto club is riding on you.
[10:14] ---
That is all from me.
[10:16] ---
I wish the koto club good luck.
[10:19] ---
Huh? What does that mean? I don't get it.
[10:21] ---
--I don't even care what happens
to the koto club anyway.
[10:22] ---
--What a pain. So annoying.
--I don't even care what happens
to the koto club anyway.
[10:24] ---
I feel like we're kinda unwelcome here...
[10:28] ---
So the usual then, right?
[10:29] ---
Ah, I feel kinda relieved now.
[10:32] ---
This way might actually be easier.
[10:35] ---
You have a point.
[10:37] ---
In any case, it seems no one's
gonna listen anyway,
[10:40] ---
so let's just give it our all!
[10:41] ---
We have no shame or pride anyway.
[10:44] ---
--Right!
--Yeah.
[10:45] ---
Plus, we're not alone.
[10:52] ---
All right! Let's go!
[10:58] ---
Whoa, they're actually gonna play.
[11:00] ---
I mean, don't get us involved in this, too!
[11:02] ---
Honestly, I don't really care what happens.
[11:04] ---
Thanks for letting me come
even though I'm an outsider.
[11:07] ---
What are you saying?
[11:09] ---
You've always looked after
this school's koto club.
[11:14] ---
Also, the other day...
[11:17] ---
Someone you want to invite
to the performance?
[11:19] ---
Who might that be?
[11:20] ---
The granny from the music store.
[11:22] ---
I promised her I'd let her hear
an amazing performance, so...
[11:25] ---
Is that all right? It's all right, right?
[11:27] ---
That's what he said. You must be loved, huh?
[11:30] ---
Hmph... As the principal, if you had
said you'd let the club continue,
[11:34] ---
it would have been settled
right then and there.
[11:36] ---
I wanted to hear it, too.
[11:39] ---
I wondered just what kind of sound
these kids could make.
[11:44] ---
Huh? Wai--
[11:45] ---
Kudo?! He's seriously going to play the koto?!
[11:48] ---
--Oh shit, this cracks me up!
--You've gotta be kidding.
[11:51] ---
Ladies and gentlemen, we, the koto club--
[11:54] ---
Who cares! Get on with it!
[11:56] ---
You're just wasting our precious time
with this dumb performance anyway!
[12:00] ---
Yeah! Get on with it!
[12:09] ---
So you've helped me out a lot.
[12:13] ---
You're wrong.
[12:15] ---
I was the one being helped.
[12:17] ---
Whenever I'd want to run away,
[12:18] ---
or turn my back...
[12:20] ---
It's always me that's gotten help.
[12:24] ---
If this is funny to you,
then go ahead and laugh.
[12:27] ---
If this is boring to you,
then go ahead and complain.
[12:31] ---
Regardless,
[12:32] ---
I don't want to lose my precious
friends or the place I belong,
[12:35] ---
so we are going to play
this piece till the very end.
[12:41] ---
So embarrassing! So lame!
[12:56] ---
Hey, Chika?
[12:58] ---
You always have such a dull look on your face.
[13:02] ---
You don't do anything fun at school,
or have someone you like?
[13:06] ---
No. Nothing.
[13:08] ---
I mean, this is way too lame.
[13:09] ---
Right?
[13:19] ---
Wha--?!
[13:38] ---
--What is this?
--I didn't realize the koto was so...
[14:02] ---
As expected from Chika.
[14:04] ---
There's no one left now.
[14:06] ---
Don't touch me.
[14:08] ---
Scary... What was that just now?
[14:11] ---
He's always like this. Just leave him.
[14:13] ---
He doesn't trust anyone, anyway.
[14:16] ---
We can just use him when fights get bad.
[14:24] ---
We're now at Hozuki's solo!
[14:26] ---
We've been perfect up until now!
[14:28] ---
The cry of a dragon...
[14:30] ---
Huh?
[14:32] ---
Nothing, it's just what it sounded like.
[14:35] ---
The cry of a lonely dragon
[14:37] ---
with no friends.
[14:44] ---
Hey, look, you!
[14:46] ---
Why'd you barge into my house
again without asking?
[14:49] ---
Jeez, aren't you living
with your grandfather now?
[14:52] ---
Go home.
[14:54] ---
Shut up.
[14:55] ---
How long are you planning on being like this?
[14:58] ---
I can't look out for you forever.
[15:00] ---
I see...
[15:03] ---
Hey, Chika!
[15:05] ---
Brat...
[15:11] ---
A friend came to pick you up this morning.
[15:14] ---
Huh?
[15:15] ---
Tetsuki... Takaoka, I think he said.
[15:17] ---
He's a good kid.
[15:19] ---
At this rate,
[15:20] ---
I was worried that you'd quit school
and just get into fights.
[15:25] ---
So what if I did.
[15:28] ---
Hey, Chika. Don't give up on yourself.
[15:32] ---
Don't forsake yourself
[15:36] ---
before anyone else has even given up on you.
[15:40] ---
If you do, you really will be alone someday.
[15:43] ---
How is that different from now?
[15:48] ---
You don't get this either? What an idiot.
[15:52] ---
I don't get it.
[15:54] ---
A brat like you isn't my son.
[15:57] ---
Don't ever show your face in front of me again!
[15:59] ---
Hey, did you know?
[16:01] ---
That guy was abandoned by his parents.
[16:03] ---
And his name is written with the
character for "love." It's hilarious!
[16:11] ---
Oh, no! I was out of sync!
[16:15] ---
That sounded weird.
[16:16] ---
Is it supposed to sound like that?
[16:18] ---
Crap, I started playing
out of sync because of Kota.
[16:21] ---
Shit, they're distracting me.
[16:23] ---
Hey! Where are you going, you idiots?!
[16:25] ---
This is bad. We're becoming
less and less together.
[16:27] ---
What should I do--
[16:31] ---
Stop this already!
[16:33] ---
Do you want to die?!
[16:35] ---
Your grandfather was worried sick!
[16:37] ---
Come on, I'm taking you home.
[16:38] ---
You're so annoying. Let me go!
[16:49] ---
I'm taking you home.
[16:53] ---
Come on!
[16:54] ---
Come on, walk!
[16:56] ---
Those guys hang out with Tetsuki a lot...
[17:05] ---
Don't underestimate me, middle-schooler!
[17:08] ---
K-Kudo?!
[17:13] ---
Hozuki...
[17:14] ---
She's making the first beat of the bar louder
so it's easier for everyone to stay together!
[17:18] ---
I get it!
[17:19] ---
To Hozuki...
[17:21] ---
To that girl...
[17:22] ---
We'll match her.
[17:28] ---
All right! We're back on it!
[17:30] ---
All right, we made it this far somehow.
[17:32] ---
Next is Kudo's solo.
[17:38] ---
Chika, that fight you were in the other day...
[17:40] ---
I heard it was to help Takaoka's friends.
[17:44] ---
I'm sorry. I called you a brat
without knowing the situation.
[17:48] ---
But that was so manly of you! I'm surprised!
[17:51] ---
Stop it!
[17:52] ---
Here's a reward!
[17:54] ---
For today's lunch, I made
some cute rice balls for you.
[17:58] ---
They're popular amongst youngsters, right?
[18:00] ---
I made them as little characters.
[18:03] ---
They're little bear rice balls!
[18:07] ---
They don't look like it.
[18:11] ---
You... You laughed just now...
You laughed, didn't you?
[18:14] ---
Is that bad?
[18:16] ---
So that's the way you laugh...
[18:20] ---
Hey, Chika.
[18:21] ---
Find more people you can smile like that with.
[18:24] ---
It's okay if there aren't that many.
[18:26] ---
And your hands, as well--
[18:28] ---
Don't use them to hit or hurt anyone...
[18:32] ---
But use them to protect something important
[18:34] ---
and seize your happiness.
[18:37] ---
Kotos connect the hearts of
the players and the audience.
[18:42] ---
I believe they embody this wish.
[18:46] ---
Try playing as if
[18:48] ---
you're letting out the words
you want to tell your loved ones.
[19:13] ---
Hey, Granddad. You can hear this...
[19:20] ---
...right?
[21:04] ---
The climax!
[21:05] ---
The final push!
[21:10] ---
Reach them.
[21:13] ---
Reach.
[21:15] ---
Reach out to them!
