    It doesn't matter if it's classical
    or the latest pop song.
[00:28] (Flashback) Shou
    The essence of music is the same.
[00:31] (Flashback) Shou
    Just follow your heart and enjoy the sound.
[00:38] (Flashback) Shou
    See? There isn't anything difficult about it.

[02:26] Reiji
    Hmm?
[02:28] Ayumu
    Was that one yours?
[02:29] Reiji
    Yeah. And what a shot, right?
    It's rare to see you practicing winking.
[02:34] Reiji
    I figured the fans would love it.
[02:40] Reiji
    So how's it going? Can you wink yet?
[02:43] Ayumu
    N-Not yet.
[02:45] Reiji
    I could help you practice again.
[02:47] Ayumu
    I'm not opposed to it...
[02:50] Reiji
    Oh? Heading out?
[02:52] Haruto
    Yes. I have an important appointment today.
[02:55] Reiji
    Meaning it'll just be us and Shou
     here at the dorm.
[03:00] Haruto
    Shou?
[03:01] Ayumu
    He said he'd be in the music room.
[03:03] Ayumu
    I think he's practicing for his concert.
[03:05] Reiji
    I bet.
[03:07] Reiji
    He's spent every free moment
     he has in there recently.
[03:10] Haruto
    That's true. All right, well then,
    samurai number two is off.
[03:17] Ayumu
    See you... later?
[03:18] Reiji
    Take care, okay?
[03:20] Reiji
    So, samurai number one,
    where is number two deploying?
[03:24] Ayumu
    I don't know. I could only tell
    he's worked up about something.
[03:29] Reiji
    No kidding.

[03:33] Haruto
    Good afternoon.
[03:34] Haruto
    I appreciate you meeting me
    on such short notice today.
[03:37] Haruto
    Thank you very much.
[03:39] Ejima
    Oh, it's fine.
[03:41] Haruto
    What would you like to drink?
[03:43] Haruto
    It looks like today's special is umeshu
    made with aged sake. Or should we...
[03:48] Haruto & Ejima
    Start with a pint?
[03:51] Haruto
    Very well. Two draft beers, please.
[03:54] Employee
    Two beers!
[03:56] Ejima
    Th-Thanks.
[04:00] Haruto
    I'd like to ask you to attend
    Shou's concert. Please.
[04:05] Ejima
    I knew that's what it would be.
[04:12] Haruto
    Do you feel Shou has abandoned music?
[04:17] Haruto
    He hasn't strayed from his path as a violinist.
[04:23] Haruto
    In fact, he's participating
    in the VAZZROCK project
[04:27] Haruto
    to become a better musician.
[04:31] Ejima
    You didn't start out in music, did you?
[04:35] Haruto
    That's correct. I debuted as a model.
[04:38] Ejima
    But you can understand how
    wonderful Onoda-kun's playing is?
[04:41] Haruto
    Yes, it touches me deeply.
[04:44] Ejima
    I'm sure it does.
[04:46] Ejima
    Onoda-kun's violin enchants all who hear it.
[04:51] Ejima
    He plays so freely and vibrantly,
    as if the world of music is his playground.
[04:58] Haruto
    Yes.
[04:59] Ejima
    The first time I heard him play,
[05:01] Ejima
    it made me realize there is such a
    thing as perfect music. It startled me.
[05:06] Haruto
    It did?
[05:08] Haruto
    I can understand, though. The first
    time I heard him, it was overwhelming.
[05:13] Ejima
    I knew it!
[05:15] Ejima
    Once you experienced it,
[05:16] Ejima
    you wanted the rest of the world
     to hear him too, right?
[05:20] Haruto
    Yes, definitely.
[05:23] Ejima
    If that was all I felt, I'd probably
    be going to the concert.
[05:28] Ejima
    As second violin, I play background
    support and keeping the melody going.
[05:36] Ejima
    It suits me and I'm proud of it.
[05:37] Haruto
    Shou said the same thing.
[05:40] Ejima
    But I still wish I had the things I lack.
[05:44] Ejima
    Like the ability of a soloist, like Onoda-kun,
     to play freely like a bird in flight.
[05:57] Ejima
    It exacerbates my jealousy
    and disappointment.
[06:03] Ejima
    Onoda-kun is at a point in his
    career where he can play perfectly,
[06:07] Ejima
    but it feels like he abandoned
    that to explore new ground.
[06:12] Ejima
    I know it's selfish of me, and I
    know I'm forcing my ideals onto him,
[06:17] Ejima
    but that's just how much violin means to me.
[06:23] Haruto
    You're very passionate about it.
[06:44] Reiji
    Oh? Welcome home.
[06:47] Haruto
    I just got back.
[06:50] Reiji
    Hey, welcome home to you guys too!
[06:53] Futaba & Gaku
    Thanks!
[06:55] Haruto
    Welcome back. Were you both at a job?
[06:58] Gaku
    Yeah, we were at the same station.
[07:00] Gaku
    We decided to head back together.
[07:02] Futaba
    Yeah.
[07:03] Haruto
    I hope it went well.
[07:05] Futaba
    Did you just get back too, Haruto-kun?
[07:07] Haruto
    Yes.
[07:08] Reiji
    You said you had an important appointment.
[07:10] Reiji
    How'd it go?
[07:14] Haruto
    Like moving mountains.
[07:16] Reiji & Gaku
    Huh?
[07:17] Futaba
    Haruto-kun, what happened?
[07:22] Futaba
    Oh, so that's what you were doing.
[07:24] Reiji
    You went to talk to him yourself?
    You're always so on the ball.
[07:29] Haruto
    I wanted him to understand
    how Shou feels about music.
[07:33] Futaba
    I know what you mean, especially if he
    loves Shou-san's violin that much.
[07:38] Haruto
    Yeah.
[07:41] Haruto
    But, ultimately, I couldn't convince him.
[07:44] Haruto
    I probably could have pushed further...
[07:48] Gaku
    But you didn't?
[07:49] Haruto
    That's right.
[07:51] Haruto
    Ejima-san is a lot like Shou.
[07:53] Haruto
    He's a proud and passionate artist.
[07:55] Haruto
    He's worked hard to get where he is.
[07:57] Futaba
    Mm-hmm.
[07:59] Haruto
    He's performed for so many people
    and filled their hearts with song.
[08:07] Haruto
    I've always longed for
    that kind of inspiration myself,
[08:11] Haruto
    so I couldn't bring myself to argue with him.
[08:15] Reiji
    Inspiration?
[08:18] Haruto
    Yes.
[08:25] (Flashback) Kid 1
    How's that?
[08:26] (Flashback) Kid 2
    Ooh!
[08:29] (Flashback) Haruto (kid)
    Whoa.
[08:30] (Flashback) Kid 3
    Look, look! I made a huge one.
     Pretty cool, right?
[08:34] (Flashback) Kid 1
    But mine is cooler!
[08:35] (Flashback) Kid 3
    No, mine is!
[08:36] (Flashback) Kid 1
    No way! You wanna fight?
[08:37] (Flashback) Kid 3
    Shut up!
[08:43] (Flashback) Crowd
    Go for it!
[08:46] (Flashback) Boy classmate
    Hooray!
[08:48] (Flashback) Haruto's classmates
    Wow!
[08:50] (Flashback) Boy classmate 2
    Now the win is in the bag!
[08:53] (Flashback) Haruto (kid)
    Whoa.
[08:56] (Flashback) Male student
    Dang it!
[08:57] (Flashback) Girl student
    Don't worry. You'll get it next time!
[09:00] (Flashback) Upperclassman boy
    Pull! We've gotta win!
[09:03] (Flashback) Other upperclassmen
    Yeah!
[09:08] (Flashback) Baseball team
    Nice throw!
[09:09] (Flashback) Baseball team
    Concentrate!
[09:10] (Flashback) Baseball team
    Make some noise!
[09:11] (Flashback) Baseball team
    Go for it!
SIGN    Aim for Koshien!
[09:14] (Flashback) Baseball player 1
    Nice hit!
[09:15] (Flashback) Baseball player 2
    Go, go, go!
[09:20] Haruto
    I've always wanted to be
     passionate about something.
[09:27] Reiji
    Huh...
[09:29] Haruto
    Before I joined ROCK DOWN,
    I wasn't truly invested in anything.
[09:33] Haruto
    Shou and Ejima-san are different,
    and I think that's incredible.
[09:37] Futaba
    I think I know what you mean.
[09:39] Futaba
    People tend to admire what they don't have.
[09:41] Futaba
    So when someone does have it,
    you want them to stay that way.
[09:45] Haruto
    Yes.
[09:46] Haruto
    Just like how Ejima-san wants
    Shou to stay as he once was,
[09:50] Haruto
    I realized I didn't want Ejima-san
    to compromise his principles.
[09:55] Reiji
    But you still want him to
    go to the concert, right?
[09:58] Haruto
    Yes.
[09:59] Haruto
    He loves Shou's violin dearly.
[10:02] Haruto
    I really want him to hear how Shou plays now.
[10:05] Gaku
    Yeah, makes sense.
[10:07] Haruto
    Shou wants that too and hopes he'll come.
[10:12] Haruto
    But I don't know what else I can do to help.
[10:15] Futaba
    You want to give him a little push?
[10:18] Haruto
    I do.
[10:20] Haruto
    Gaku-san?
[10:21] Gaku
    Ah, sorry.
[10:23] Gaku
    You said you wanted to be
    passionate about something,
[10:26] Gaku
    but the way you're talking,
    it sounds like you've already found it.
[10:30] Reiji
    Yeah. You're full of passion, man.
[10:32] Futaba
    Yeah. I think there's a burning
    passion inside you too.
[10:40] Haruto
    Burning passion... inside me?
[11:05] Ruka
    Man, you've really been going at it!
[11:08] Ruka
    You're usually falling asleep by now.
[11:11] Ayumu
    We're rooting for you,
     but don't push too hard, okay?
[11:14] Shou
    Thanks. But I know some of
    the guests coming are upset
[11:18] Shou
    that I stopped playing violin exclusively.
[11:27] Shou
    I can't give a performance that
    makes them think I've lost my touch.
[11:37] Shou
    This is a battle for me.
[11:40] Ruka
    That's so cool!
[11:41] Ayumu
    I can't wait for the concert.
    We're gonna go too.
[11:48] Shou
    I'm sure I'll put on a show
     that you'll enjoy. Come and listen!
[11:56] Ruka
    Okay, let's get to the next message.
[11:59] Gaku
    "I once heard a story about how everyone
    in ROCK DOWN went to a foot bath together."
[12:04] Gaku
    "I'd love it if you could share
    memories of other trips you've taken."
[12:08] Gaku
    "They can even be trips you took alone
     or with people outside the group."
[12:12] Gaku
    That's it.
[12:13] Ruka
    Thanks for your message!
[12:15] Reiji
    I bet Shou has lots of vacation stories.
[12:18] Reiji
    He's traveled all around the world.
[12:20] Shou
    I've visited many countries to play violin.
[12:24] Shou
    Which should I share?
[12:26] Shou
    I haven't done much sightseeing, though.
[12:29] Haruto
    Didn't you take a lot of pictures?
[12:31] Shou
    Oh, that's right.
[12:33] Shou
    Whenever I came across sights
    I wanted to share with someone else,
[12:36] Shou
    I'd take a picture and send it to Haruto.
[12:39] Reiji
    Oh yeah? Like what?
[12:42] Haruto
    A cat near the Arc de Triomphe.
[12:45] Haruto
    Dark clouds covering Big Ben.
[12:48] Haruto
    The skeleton of an umbrella he bought on
    the German Fairy Tale Route, et cetera.
[12:51] Reiji
    An umbrella skeleton?
    Shoot the landscape, dude!
[12:54] Shou
    It was bent in such a unique way.
[12:57] Haruto
    Anyway, if I hadn't read
    the attached messages,
[13:00] Haruto
    I never would've known they were
    photos of tourist attractions.
[13:03] Reiji
    Shou's so free-spirited.
    Even his pictures are!
[13:06] Haruto
    Truly.
[13:07] Reiji
    Come on, Haruto! You're like that too.
[13:09] Haruto
    Huh?
[13:10] Reiji
    Huh?
[13:12] Haruto
    I'm free-spirited?
[13:14] Reiji; Ayumu; Gaku; Ruka
    You just realized?!
[13:15] Gaku
    Um, Haruto, when you get
    caught up in something,
[13:18] Gaku
    you sort of go into your own world.
[13:20] Ruka
    You do things your own way.
    I think I'd call that a free spirit.
[13:26] Reiji
    You seriously never noticed?
[13:28] Ayumu
    That's Haruto for you.
[13:30] Reiji
    For sure. It's just like Shou, too.
[13:33] Ayumu
    Yeah, they're alike in more ways
     than you'd think.
[13:37] Haruto
    Someone said that to me yesterday, too.
[13:39] Haruto
    Are Shou and I really so similar?
[13:42] Gaku; Ruka; Reiji; Ayumu
    Mm-hmm!
[13:44] Ayumu
    Well, I can't say I noticed until after
     we'd been in the group awhile.
[13:49] Ruka
    Once you see how alike they are,
    you can't see them any other way.
[13:54] Gaku
    You wouldn't notice at first, though.
[13:56] Haruto
    Is that so?
[13:59] Reiji
    Hey, listeners, if any of you agree that Shou
    and Haruto are alike, send us a message!
[14:04] Reiji
    Oh, and send one if you disagree too!
[14:08] Haruto
    Please! We'll be waiting.
[14:10] Reiji
    You're going along with it?
[14:11] Ruka
    Okay, on to the next message!
[14:15] ROCK DOWN members
    Good work today!
[14:17] ROCK DOWN members
    Thank you very much.
[14:19] Shou
    Haruto.
[14:20] Haruto
    What's up?
[14:21] Shou
    The weather today is really lovely.
[14:23] Shou
    Would you like to go on
    a picnic with me later?
[14:26] Haruto
    Yes, let's.
[14:28] Gaku; Ruka; Reiji; Ayumu
    See what we mean?
[14:35] Shou
    Tea time under a blue sky
    sure is something else.
[14:38] Haruto
    Yeah.
[14:40] Haruto
    Actually, the other day,
     I met with Ejima-san to talk.
[14:45] Haruto
    I wanted him to hear your new music.
[14:48] Shou
    I see.
[14:50] Haruto
    But he didn't agree like I'd hoped.
[14:54] Haruto
    For him, your violin playing
    is just too precious,
[14:57] Haruto
    and he has complicated feelings
    about you being in ROCK DOWN.
[15:01] Haruto
    He wants to go, but he can't.
[15:04] Haruto
    That's how it seemed to me.
[15:08] Haruto
    He's so passionate.
[15:11] Haruto
    For someone like me, with no passion at all...
[15:13] Haruto
    I don't think I had a right to berate him.
[15:18] Shou
    Now, I doubt that.
[15:21] Shou
    I've always sensed a passion
    deep inside of you.
[15:26] Haruto
    I've heard that elsewhere too.
[15:28] Haruto
    I know I do things my own way,
[15:31] Haruto
    but I don't have the passion
    to soar freely like you do.
[15:34] Haruto
    How is it that people think we're similar?
[15:42] Shou
    The way I see it, Haruto,
    your freedom is like the solid earth.
[15:47] Haruto
    Free... like the earth?
[15:50] Shou
    Like the earth, you hold true to your core.
[15:53] Shou
    You know, and remain,
    exactly where you want to be.
[15:56] Shou
    I admire people like that,
    like you and Ejima-san.
[16:01] Haruto
    Do you really?
[16:03] Shou
    People like me have a habit of getting
    carried off on flights of fancy.
[16:08] Shou
    Sometimes we get so lost that we start to
    wonder, "Where in the world am I?"
[16:14] Shou
    When that happens, it's always a relief
    to have someone like you by my side.
[16:25] Shou
    Even the birds can't keep flying forever.
[16:28] Shou
    They always need somewhere
     to rest their wings,
[16:31] Shou
    like trees that are deeply
     rooted in the ground.
[16:41] Shou
    But you know what lies below the earth?
[16:44] Shou
    There's hot magma sleeping deep down.
[16:48] Shou
    You have your own passions, Haruto.
[16:50] Shou
    Desires that burn silent and strong.
[16:54] Shou
    I know that you do.
[17:00] Shou
    Remember when you told me the story
    of how you were scouted to become a model?
[17:06] (Flashback) Haruto
    Before I became a model,
[17:08] (Flashback) Haruto
    I went through a phase where I had no
    idea what I wanted to do with my life.
[17:12] (Flashback) Shou
    Hmm.
[17:13] (Flashback) Haruto
    I couldn't play music.
    I wasn't into sports. I just felt...
[17:19] (Flashback) Haruto
    I wanted to find something with meaning.
[17:21] (Flashback) Haruto
    It's embarrassing to think back on.
[17:23] (Flashback) Shou
    I don't think so. Everyone goes through that.
[17:27] (Flashback) Haruto
    I really doubt that you did.
[17:31] (Flashback) Haruto
    Anyway, when I didn't know what to do
[17:33] (Flashback) Haruto
    and was just wandering around
    the city looking for a job,
[17:38] (Flashback) Haruto
    that's when I was scouted.
[17:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    When I started, it surprised me.
[17:44] (Flashback) Haruto
    I went in treating it like a part-time job,
[17:46] (Flashback) Haruto
    but the people around me were
    of course quite serious about it.
[17:49] (Flashback) Haruto
    That impressed me,
    so I thought about it more,
[17:53] (Flashback) Haruto
    and I started to get serious about
    living up to their expectations.
[17:57] (Flashback) Haruto
    Then I realized...
[18:00] (Flashback) Shou
    The work felt satisfying?
[18:02] (Flashback) Haruto
    Yeah. And one other thing.
[18:05] (Flashback) Haruto
    People might see me and think
     "I want those clothes,"
[18:07] (Flashback) Haruto
    "how cool," or "wow, that's awesome."
[18:10] (Flashback) Haruto
    I realized I could affect how people felt.
[18:15] (Flashback) Haruto
    You know, I'm not very good with words.
[18:18] (Flashback) Haruto
    If I lived a normal life, I don't think I'd
    ever be able to touch people that way.
[18:22] (Flashback) Haruto
    But with modeling, I realized that even
    I could influence others' emotions.
[18:27] (Flashback) Haruto
    It made me so happy.
[18:30] (Flashback) Haruto
    And I think that's why I keep doing it today.
[18:35] Shou
    Appreciating and responding to
    others' expectations and feelings...
[18:38] Shou
    Being able to accept
    and respect the things you lack...
[18:42] Shou
    I think that's what it
    means to have a free heart.
[18:45] Haruto
    And you think... that's my freedom?
[18:49] Shou
    Yeah.
[18:52] Haruto
    I see. It is a kind of freedom.
[18:54] Shou
    That's right!
[18:56] Shou
    It is indeed. It might seem different,
    but it's the same thing.
[19:00] Haruto
    Yeah.
[19:01] Shou
    You know, as group leader, I want
    people to learn about ROCK DOWN.
[19:04] Shou
    As a violinist,
[19:06] Shou
    I want people to develop a
     relationship with classical music.
[19:09] Shou
    Those might seem different too,
     but they're also the same.
[19:12] Haruto
    You're right.
[19:13] Shou
    I always feel like...
[19:15] Shou
    I want to touch somebody's heart.
    I want them to be moved by my work.
[19:20] Shou
    Ejima-san is the same way.
[19:22] Haruto
    So am I. So are the guys.
[19:24] Shou
    Yeah. I want to put these heartfelt feelings
    to music and continue playing violin.
[19:29] Haruto
    "Follow your heart," was it?
[19:30] Shou
    Yes! Follow your heart!
[19:35] Haruto
    That's how I want to live too.

    Wha— What's going on?
[19:57] Haruto
    Let's go.
[19:58] Haruto
    I want you to hear what
    Shou sounds like now.
[20:03] Ejima
    I-I know, but right now, I...
[20:05] Ejima
    Just look at how I'm dressed.
[20:07] Haruto
    You'll be fine like that.
[20:09] Haruto
    Classical doesn't have to be stuffy.
[20:11] Haruto
    You don't need to dress up.
    You can be casual and still enjoy it.
[20:14] Haruto
    That's what Shou always says.
[20:16] Ejima
    But...
[20:16] Haruto
    If you want to hear it, you should just come!

    Come on. Follow your heart!

    Onoda-kun's really playing a concert...
[21:13] Haruto
    Yeah. The one and only
    Shou Onoda from ROCK DOWN.
[21:28] Ejima
    I still do love it. He's amazing!
[22:05] [SONG] ---
    The sunlight's intense beam illuminates you
[22:09] [SONG] ---
    In the summer when you are wandering
[22:13] [SONG] ---
    Looking for your own passions
    and wherever they might take you
[22:18] [SONG] ---
    Humidity rising, concrete jungle,
    it's a hot day in the city right now
[22:22] [SONG] ---
    Even when you can't see
    what's in front of you,
[22:25] [SONG] ---
    It's because I care that
    I won't let you stray
[22:30] [SONG] ---
    When you walk down the street I'll
    see your shadow from far away
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    In the heat and haze,
    searching for you although
[22:36] [SONG] ---
    you don't make it easy with your high pride
[22:38] [SONG] ---
    Why don't you let it go,
    just have a good time, yo
[22:41] [SONG] ---
    that's your heart calling, knock knock
[22:43] [SONG] ---
    You're too blue to take all of it on
[22:46] [SONG] ---
    Just think about it simply
[22:50] [SONG] ---
    Or just dance to the beat, none
    of this is as hard as you thought
[22:55] [SONG] ---
    Make it happen, okay, let's go
    then one, two, shout it out!
[22:59] [SONG] ---
    Just follow your heart and
    let your feelings all go
[23:04] [SONG] ---
    Just follow your heart,
    the tension is a crescendo
[23:08] [SONG] ---
    Your hands were never tied
    Music is free, so are you
[23:11] [SONG] ---
    And that's why you always
    shine light so brightly
[23:15] [SONG] ---
    Music is your heartbeat, passion groove
