Too bad.
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Maybe next time.
Another time then.
OK.
Yeah.
Bye-bye.
Bye bye!
Bye-bye.
-Bye bye!
It was a gigantic snail!
The snail was this big!
There's no such thing.
Those doesn't exist!
Delivery.
Delivery!
TANAKA
I can open it, right?
Should I open it?
Shindou...?
Shin... do?
A trumpet?
It's beautiful.
Pretty.
Oh, it's a...
Here's something.
eupho... nium.
Euphonium?
Euphonium!
Euphonium.
TO ASUKA
All right. President, would you like to say anything?
Any words from the club president?
Sensei...
Sensei!
Yes, Tanaka-san?
Yes, Tanaka-san?
Before the president speaks,
I'd like a word before the President.
I'd like to express how I feel right now.
I'm going to be completely honest.
I don't want to lose.
I really don't want to lose.
I don't want this to end with,\N"I'm glad we made it this far."
I don't want it to be over with us saying\N"I'm glad we made it to Kansai."
Because we made it this far,\NI want to advance.
Now that we're here, I want to take this all the way,
I want Kitauji's sound\Nto resonate all over Japan!
and let the whole nation hear Kitauji!
We've practiced hard to get to this point.
So, everyone...
Let's give it our all!
Let's take everything we've learned\N through practicing and give it our all!
Yes!
Yes ma'am!
Kumiko!
Kumiko!
There you are.
Hiding in a place like this...
We're on!
Performance!
Oh! OK.
Immidiately running off somewhere...
You always disappear.
What's that supposed to mean? I'm not a kid.
You make me sound like a kid.
You're being childish right now.
But you are childish.
Well, Reina is so grown up.
And you're so mature.
That's so irritating...
You're annoying.
Welcome to the Kitauji High School Wind Ensemble.
Welcome to the Kitauji High School\NConcert Band performance.
Just the other day, they performed at the Kansai Regional...
At the recent\NKansai Concert Band Competition...
Look! Over there.
Over there.
See you later.
See you later.
- It's almost time.\N- Yeah.
It's almost time...
I'm getting nervous.
Yeah.
Kumiko Oumae.
This is nerve-wracking.
Asuka-senpai!
Kumiko Oumae...
You were late. Where were you,\Nthe bathroom?
Asuka-senpai...
Yeah...
Aren't you a bit late?
What? What are you nervous?
The bathroom?
A little...
Uh... Yeah...
How cute! Still a freshman after all.
What? You nervous?
I'm not playing the euphonium today,\Nso I'm counting on you and Natsuki.
Yeah, a bit.
Yes!
How cute.
All right!
You're still just a first year, after all.
Senpai, you look happy.
However, today you'll be playing without me.
Why wouldn't I be?\NWe're going to Nationals!
I'm counting on you two for the euphonium.
Right.
Yes.
You really love the concert band.
Okay.
Do I really?
You're in quite a good mood, aren't you Senpai?
Huh?
Hmm? That's because of...
The Nationals! That makes me happy!
It does.
You really like the Wind Ensemble don't you, Senpai?
Hmm... I wonder about that.
Oumae-chan, do you like the euphonium?
Oumae-chan, do you like the euphonium?
Huh? Well...
Huh... Um...
No one's ever asked me that before.\NIt's a bit intimidating.
Asking me this again?
It feels kind of intimidating...
I do. I love it.
I do. I love it.
I don't really care about the competition.
I don't care how we do in the contest.
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
Asuka!
Asuka...
Coming!
Yeah yeah, I'm coming.
Let's enjoy the school festival!
Enjoy the cultural festival!
Y-yeah...
Uh... Okay.
I'm counting on you.
We're counting on you.
Leave it to me!
Leave it to me.
Our concert band has thrived\Nthanks to the support
We'd like to give our thanks to our teachers and guardians,
of our teachers, parents,\Nand countless others.
and everyone else who've helped us.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

Our fledgling Kitauji High School\NConcert band...
Now, for our final piece, "Gakuen Tengoku."
KITAUJI HIGH SCHOOL FESTIVAL CONCERT BAND
We, the Kitauji High School Wind Ensemble were considered weak.
...got a new advisor this spring,
Sign: North High Festival\NWind Ensemble Concert
who is Taki-Sensei.
But this spring we got a new advisor, Taki-sensei. And with his guidance,
Together, we made it\Nto the National competition.
We've actually made it to the nationals.
NATIONAL CONCERT BAND COMPETITION
Good job.
Good job.
You too.
Ooh... Good job...
I saw your mom.
Auntie came too.
Oh, I didn't notice.
Huh, I don't notice.
She might come to your class.
She might come to the classroom.
What a nice couple.
Whaaat?
Natsuki-senpai! Please don't.
You two lovebirds...
It's been a while since\Nwe performed together.
Please stop, Natsuki-senpai.
Since Sunfest?
It's been a while since we've played.
Right? It's so much fun.
We haven't since SanFes.
OK! Winds, move it.
Right? It's good stuff.
Clean up your area before you leave.
Okay, The wind ensemble gather 'round!
We'll move the big instruments later.\NGuys, please help out.
Everyone please leave after you've finished cleaning up.
After that can the boys please carry the big instruments out?
Yes!
Yes!
And...
And also...
It's a busy season.\NDon't burn yourselves out.
Everyone! At a time like this, you should just stay calm and take a good breather.
Intense practices for Nationals\Nwill be starting soon!
We're aiming for the nationals here.
Understood?
There's hard practice waiting.
Got it?
Yes!
Yes!
Good!
Alright!
WE LOVE THE CONCERT BAND!
That was so Asuka-senpai.
Asuka-senpai sure is amazing.
Normally one would say "Enjoy the festivities" or something, right?
I was waiting for her to say,\N"Stay focused!"
Right.
Right?
It was so cool that she could almost reach the moon!
Feels like she can reach\Nthe moon. She's so cool!
Yeah! Alright, let's have some fun!
OK! Let's have fun!
What are you doing after this, Reina?
MUSIC ROOM
Reina, what are you doing after?
I haven't decided yet.
I haven't decided yet.
Then come to our class!
Then you can come with our class!
- Yeah, come!\N- It'll be fun!
It's gonna be fun!
I'm really glad to back!
Yeah! Come on!
That's good.
I can come back! I'm so happy.
I'll do my best to support Kitauji!
I see.
I'm counting on you.
I'll work my hardest to support Kitauji!
I expect nothing less!
Yes!
Yes!
OK, then. Let's clean up.
Excuse us.
I don't really care about the competition.
Let's tidy up.
Asuka!
I don't care how we do in the contest.
What are you doing now?
Asuka.
Asuka Tanaka.
What are you doing until you're on duty?
Leader of the bass section\Nand vice president of the club.
Hmm...
A senior that everyone in the band\Nloves and relies on.
First, let's get something to eat.
But today, I saw a cold expression\Non her face.
Tanaka Asuka-senpai.
Then it disappeared like a mirage.
"Eat" you say?
It made me wonder
She's the bass section leader, and vice president.
what Asuka-senpai was\Nseeing that I wasn't.
Doesn't this look fun?
Which one?
She's an admired and reliable third year member.
Let's meet up at the entrance.
Yeah.
Of course.
Come on, let's get going!
That sort of senpai never showed an unfriendly face.
Stop laughing already!
I mean!
But that's just a facade she puts up.
You had a costume and everything!
I had no choice.
It looked good on you.
I'm always wondering...
It didn't suit you.
Just what does she see from her perspective?
Kumiko-chan?
Kumiko-chan?
Let's clean up soon?
Hurry up and put that away.
Oh, sorry.
Huh? Sorry.
But I was scared to think about it.
But that was a bit scary to think about.
NATIONAL CONCERT BAND COMPETITION
I'm home.
I'm home!
Welcome home.
Welcome home.
Thanks, sorry I came home so late.
Yeah, thanks.
- Stew tonight?\N- Yeah.
Sorry, I'm late.
Hey, Mom?
Are we having stew today?
Hm? Looks delicious. What is it?
By the way Asuka,\Nabout your college entrance exams.
I'm counting on you to do your best.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry, you were saying?
Hey mom...
Nothing, never mind.
Huh? Looks tasty.
Good. The fortissimo from "L"\Nshould sound crystal clear.
What's up?
Yes!
Oh that's right, Asuka.
Snare drum, keep your rolls sharp.
The entrance exams are coming up right?
Yes!
Huh?
OK, let's call it a day.
I expect that you'll be doing your best.
Now that the school festival is over,\Nmake sure to get plenty of rest.
Sorry, what did you want?
The concert camp is this week.
It's nothing.
I want everyone to be\Nin good physical condition.
All right. Make sure the fortissimo \Nat L doesn't sound muddy.
Yes!
Yes, sir!
Don't catch a cold.
And that snare roll needs to be tighter.
Yes.
Yes, sir!
We need to go over the itinerary.
That will be all for today.
Section leaders,\Nlet's meet in the classroom.
Don't work too hard on the cultural festival.
There's a camp scheduled this week,
Please take care of your health so you can attend in top condition.
Yes, sir!
Please do try.
Yes, sir...
All right, I'm going to go over the camp itinerary.
Section leaders, please come to the usual classroom.
Kumiko-chan!
Kumiko-chan!
Let's go home together.
Let's go home together.
Sure.
Uh, okay.
That conversation with Asuka-senpai at\Nthe school festival was bothering me.
After the cultural festival, I couldn't stop thinking about Asuka-senpai.
Something like that can happen?
Yeah, I was there!
Was that really a joke?
Was that really a joke?
If that's how she really felt,\NI would feel betrayed.
Two of them really came out!
I hated myself for even thinking that.
If it is true...
Eh? Were you dreaming?
Then someone, somewhere must've hurt her feelings really bad.
It's true!
See you tomorrow.
See you.
But I don't like having thoughts like that.
Bye bye.
I'm home.
I'm home.
Oh, you're home!
Ah, Welcome home.
Oh, Dad's here.
Huh? Dad's here.
He leaves early tomorrow.
He's working early tomorrow.
Here, Dad.
Here, honey.
Oh, that's right. I called Mamiko today.\NShe was shocked you made it to Nationals.
Oh right, I called Mamiko today,
She wishes you luck.
When she heard you were going to the nationals she was overjoyed!
Kumiko, you're enjoying the band,\Nbut are you studying too?
She congratulated you.
Yeah, here and there.
Kumiko. It's good that the club is doing well, but are you studying properly?
What's that mean?
Well, it's going okay I guess...
Mamiko quit music to focus\Non studying at your age.
What's with that answer?
You should too.
When Mamiko was your age, she stopped playing instruments and started studying hard.
Yeah, yeah.
Why don't you learn from her?
Isn't my older sister is amazing?
Yeah, Yeah...
Don't be sarcastic.
Onee-chan is so amazing.
So annoying...
Again with that attitude...
Dinner is ready.
Annoying...
You're quitting trombone?
Dinner's almost ready.
What's it to you?
You're quitting the trombone?
Whatever.
That's none of your business.
I need to focus.
Whatever...
There's no time to breathe\Nso I end up rushing it.
I have to concentrate.
Try to stagger it?
There's no time to breathe here.
Goto, when do you take a breath?
It's so tempting to rush.
Why don't we take a staggered breath?
Goto, when do you breathe?
Here.
Here.
Then Goto should take a\Nbreath two bars later.
Hmm,
That way, Riko-chan won't have to\Nfinish this phrase in one breath.
Then, how about we have \NGoto breathe two bars after that?
You don't have to force yourself to get through this whole phrase, Riko-chan.
Got it.
Got it.
How about the contrabass?
What about contrabass?
Sapphire Kawashima is perfect!
Sapphire Kawashima is perfect.
It's Midori!
It's Midori!
- Let's play it again.\N- Excuse me.
Okay, let's try again with those changes in mind.
Excuse me...
But first...
But first...
Kumiko Oumae! Your mind is elsewhere.\NWhat's wrong?
Kumiko Oumae!
You can tell me. I'll take care of it!
You seem a bit off today. Is something wrong?
I'm sure you will.
You can talk to your dear sister about it.
Just tell me!
I won't bite.
Ow!
You do, though.
It was time for our three-day camp\Nin the lingering heat of summer.
Just spill it!
STUDY ROOM 1
Ow, ow, ow.
Breathing first!
After traveling through the late summer heat,
Take a deep breath, then blow.
we started our 2 nights and 3 days at the training camp.
We did breathing and voice\Nexercises in the morning.
All right, breathing exercises!
Then we practiced\Nin our respective sections.
Take a deep breath, and push the air\N as far as you can when you exhale.
The afternoons were dedicated\Nto ensemble practice.
We get together in the mornings to do breathing exercises and vocal warm-ups.
Let's do a "tenner."
Then we move on to sectional practice.
Yes!
And in the afternoon, it's non-stop rehearsal.
A "tenner" is practicing\Nour compulsory piece
All right, let's do ten in a row this time.
and free piece ten times in a row.
Yes, sir!
Two pieces run around 12 minutes.
By "ten in a row," he means playing the required piece and free-choice piece
We rest for two minutes in between.
back-to-back, ten times in a row.
So the whole exercise\Ntakes over 160 minutes.
It takes twelve minutes to perform both pieces.
By the end, we're all...
With a two-minute break between each piece,
...like this.
this drill takes over two and \Na half hours to complete.
Let's take a twenty minute break.
By the time we're done, everyone's exhausted.
Twenty minutes? I think I'll go play.
All right, let's take twenty.
Wow...
Twenty minutes, huh?\N I think I'll go play on my own a bit!
OK, stop.
Holy crap...
All right, that's enough.
Euphoniums.
Euphoniums.
Yes!
Yes, sir.
You've gotten much better\Nsince the Kansai tournament.
Please play that part together for the Kansai Competition.
Oumae-san, your sound is more stable.
Your sense of stability is coming back, Oumae-san.
Don't forget how that feels.
Please don't forget that feeling.
Yes, sir!
You did it.
Yes!
Yes!
Good for you!
Being a third-year means that this year is your last...
Thanks.
This is the last year for the seniors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's hard to imagine\Nthey won't be here next year.
I haven't thought about that.
Haruka-senpai, Kaori-senpai,\Nand Asuka-senpai...
How they will be gone after this year.
Reina, do you like the trumpet?
Haruka-senpai, Kaori-senpai,
Asuka-senpai too.
Hey Reina, do you like the trumpet?
Of course I do.
Of course I do.
Why do you ask?
Why do you ask?
Asuka-senpai asked me the same thing.
Asuka-senpai asked me the same question.
What did you say?
What did you answer?
That it's intimidating or something...
Once again, I was too afraid give a clear answer...
Sounds like you.
That's so like you, Kumiko.
I should have brought my pillow after all.
I should've brought a pillow...
So beautiful...
Pretty.
A euphonium?
A euphonium?
Asuka-senpai.
Asuka-senpai...
The piece was mysterious, warm\Nand sad, all at the same time.
It was a piece that made you feel strange.\N So warm, yet so lonely.
As if those emotions were\Nlayered on top of each other.
It managed to convey a myriad of emotions.
OK, everyone.
All right, everyone.
We'll practice as an ensemble\Non the days that are circled.
We'll be focusing on full-band rehearsals,
OK?
especially on the days that are \Ndouble-circled on the schedule.
Yes!
Understood?
That's it for today.
Yes, sir!
Thank you.
That's all for today.
Station Building Concert...
Thank you very much.
In the atrium, right?
Station concert, huh?
Why are we even doing it with Nationals\Njust around the corner?
We're playing in that open area, aren't we?
Some thought we should\Nprioritize the competition,
But did it have to be now, \Nright before nationals?
Taki-Sensei said that performing\Nexperience is valuable.
Some of the section leaders wanted to focus on the competition,
I've never played at\Na venue like this before.
but Taki-sensei said we should cherish every opportunity we have to perform.
I'm looking forward to it.
I've never played in a place like that before.
Me, too!
It's gonna be fun, right?
Yeah!
You're in a good mood, Hazuki-chan.
You're in a good mood, Hazuki-chan.
I guess.
Yeah.
I love performing with everyone.
It's a lot of fun playing with \Nthe whole ensemble, isn't it?
Hey, where's Kumiko-chan?
Huh? Where's Kumiko-chan?
She went to take our notebooks\Nto the teacher's office.
She just left. She has to collect notebooks today.
Excuse me...
Excuse me...
What do you intend to do about it?
What will do you to make this right?!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?\NThey need to apologize to us!
Why are you apologizing?
Please don't yell, Mom.
They owe us an apology!
As a teacher, you should know what\Nthey need to focus on right now.
Quit shouting, Mom.
She's not getting a music scholarship.\NShe needs to study for college exams!
Can't you see that this is more important\N for my child right now?
Y-you're absolutely right.
It'd be one thing if she received an early acceptance,
Then let her quit the concert band!
but she has to take regular entrance exams.
But this year's band is doing so well.\NThey've qualified for Nationals and--
Y-You're absolutely right.
I have no intention of accepting\Nher letter of resignation.
Then file her resignation letter this instant!
Did you force her to write it?
But...
And what if I did?
This year, the wind ensemble is working very hard.
I raised my daughter on my own.
The nationals are—
Without any help! By myself!
Regardless of your circumstances, \NI have no intention of accepting that resignation letter.
So I will determine her future!
That resignation letter was written at your behest, was it not?
Concert band is holding her back!
And what's wrong with that?
I-I understand how you feel, but...
I raised her all by myself.
I'll honor Asuka's wishes.
With no one else's help.
If she doesn't want to quit,\NI won't accept the letter.
By myself!
No matter what.
So my daughter's future is my decision.
Asuka is doing a great job\Nas vice president of the band.
The club is doing nothing but dragging her down!
They're fulfilling their dream\Nof competing at Nationals.
I understand where you're coming from, but—
Why can't you support her?
I will support your daughter's wishes.
Asuka, tell them\Nyou're quitting right now.
Unless it's what she wants, \NI will not accept the form.
Say it. You're quitting.
Not under any other circumstances.
Mom, I don't want to--
Tanaka-san is doing a great job of holding the club together as vice president.
Why can't you listen to me?
And she will be fulfilling the club's dream of competing in nationals.
Ms. Tanaka...
Couldn't you try to support her?
You're playing that instrument\Nto get back at me!
Asuka, tell him you're quitting the club.
Do you want to make me suffer?
Tell him. Now, You're quitting.
Asuka...
Mom, I don't want to quit—
Asuka, I'm sorry... I did it again.
Why?
Why can't you do as I say?!
Ma'am, please...
You're playing that instrument to get back at me, aren't you?
Do you want to see me suffer that much?!
A-Asuka...
Asuka, I'm sorry.
I lost my temper.
I lost my temper.
It's fine.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, Taki-Sensei.\NI'm going to take my mother home.
Excuse me, Sensei.
May I skip practice today?
I'm going home with my mother today.
That's fine.
May I take the day off from practice?
Let's go, Mom.
Very well.
Word of this incident\Nspread like wildfire.
Mom, let's go.
The concert band was shaken.
Word of the incident spread like wildfire.
Is Asuka-senpai really quitting?
The band was immediately shaken up.
I don't know. Why was she so angry?
So, is Asuka-senpai really quitting?
Her mother?
I don't know.
Club activities should be our choice.
I wonder why she's so insistent, though.
College exams and careers\Nshould be our choice too.
Asuka-senpai's mother?
I'm sure she's worried about Asuka, but...
Your parents shouldn't be \Nchoosing what club you join.
What's wrong?
It's your career and your future.
But why is Asuka-senpai\Ninsisting on playing?
You should be the one to decide.
Seniors have college exams\Nand her mom is so against it.
I'm sure she's worried about her daughter, but...
Because she loves the band?
Is something wrong?
Really? I don't get\Nthat impression from her.
Ah.
Sometimes I feel like\Nshe's just playing for herself.
But I wonder why Asuka-senpai is staying in the club.
I don't understand her.
She's a third-year, she has entrance exams coming up,
But the next day,
and her mother's against it.
as if to laugh off all\Nour worries, Asuka-senpai...
Maybe she just likes the band that much.
Looking good!
Really? It didn't come off like that to me.
...just reappeared.
She seemed more like the kind to be happy as long as she could play.
I don't get Asuka-senpai.
But the next day, as if to scoff at \Nour concern, Asuka-senpai was back.
Hey, you're all at it!
As if nothing happened.
Asuka-senpai!
Asuka-senpai!
Senpai!
Senpai!
What's up, everyone?
What's wrong, guys?
Haruka-senpai said you didn't\Ncome to school today.
Haruka-senpai said you were taking the day off from school.
You're not quitting, are you?\NYou'll keep playing?
You aren't quitting, right? \NYou're still coming, right?
You're bombarding me with questions!
Please, one at a time! I can't answer you all!
Senpai...
Senpai...
Why are you crying?
Why are you crying?
Because...
Because...
Come on, Goto! Console your girlfriend.
Damn it, Gotou, do something \Nabout your girlfriend!
I see. So word got around.
Yeah?
Sorry, everyone. Sorry, Oumae-chan.\NYou must have been shocked.
So there's a rumor going around? Sorry to worry you.
No! Asuka-senpai...
I'm sorry, Oumae-chan. \NThat must have been quite the scene.
Don't worry! I won't let you guys down.
It's fine! So are you...
Don't worry!
I won't do anything that would cause trouble.
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness!
I told you it would be all right!
I told you it would be all right.
OK, enough of that! Let's practice!
Okay, everything's cleared up!
Yes!
Enough of that. Let's practice!
I was worried for a moment.
Yes.
Natsuki.
I was panicking, to be honest.
Can we talk later?
Natsuki!
Yeah.
I believe that.
Everything's fine! Don't worry so much!
Do you have a minute after rehearsal?
Really?
Sure.
Re-a-lly.
I told you, it's okay!
You guys are so serious.\NIt's not that big of a deal.
You don't have to be so worried.
Are you sure?
I pr-o-mise!
Jeez, could you all just calm down?\N Quit blowing things out of proportion.
Liar.
Liar.
Your mom called the school today.
The vice principal was talking to Taki-sensei
I heard the headmaster\Nand Taki-Sensi talking.
about getting a call from\N your mom this morning.
I see.
Is that so?
What's really going on?
How are things, really?
Talk to us. We'll try to help...
If there's anything we can help with—
It's fine.
I'm fine.
I won't let you guys down.
I won't cause trouble for anyone.
Isn't that enough?\NThe performance is the top priority.
Isn't that good enough?
That's all.
All that matters is how the \Nperformance turns out. That's it.
That's all...?
That's it?
Yeah, that's all. It's a club activity.
That's it.
So...
It's just a club.
Stop obsessing over it, OK?
So stop making a mess of things.
Please be... quiet.
Please be quiet.
Asuka.
Asuka...
From the following day,\NAsuka-senpai stopped coming.
From then on,
Asuka-senpai's not here again?
Asuka-senpai didn't show up to the club.
Huh? Oh, yeah...
Asuka-senpai's absent again.
Has she called?
Yeah.
We can't focus on that right now.\NLet's focus on practicing.
NATIONALS, HERE WE COME!
Have you heard from her?
Have you heard from her?
No. I've been texting her every day.
No point in worrying about it now.
How about you, Kaori?
We have to focus on practice.
No... What's that?
Has she called you?
Asuka's sheet music. I found it.
No.
She probably can't take it home.
I've texted her every day, though.
Asuka's...
How about you?
What's that?
Asuka's music.
I just found it.
She probably can't keep it at home.
Asuka...
Kaori-senpai!
Kaori-senpai!
The headmaster accepted\NAsuka-senpai's letter of resignation!
Apparently, the vice principal accepted \NAsuka-senpai's resignation.
What's going on? Are you all losing focus?
What's going on?
You all seem distracted.
Um...
Um...
What is it?
Yes?
Asuka-senpai's resignation letter.
Is it true that the vice principal
Did the headmaster\Naccept it on your behalf?
accepted Asuka-senpai's resignation on your behalf?
There's no truth to that.
No such thing has happened.
So every time you hear a rumor,
Do you all intend to let these rumors\N ruin your ability to play?
you're going to lose focus\Nand play like amateurs?
Let's just break and spend the rest of the day having sectionals.
Let's call it a day.\NPractice in your own sections.
Sensei!
Sensei!
Listen, everyone.
Guys, can you hear me out?
Haruka...
Haruka...
I know everyone is feeling\Nanxious with Asuka gone.
I understand that everyone's nervous\N because Asuka's gone.
But we have to stop relying on her.
But I don't think we can keep relying on her.
We can't let anxiety take over\Nand affect our performance.
We're anxious because she's gone, \Nand it really has affected our playing.
We're better than that.
Clubs aren't meant to be this way!
We know that.
I know that.
But...
But...
I know Asuka is more capable than me.
I think Asuka's more capable than I am.
I always thought she'd\Nmake a better president.
So I've always thought Asuka should have been president.
We all depended on her\Nbecause she can do anything.
I wasn't the only one.
We thought it was okay\Nbecause Asuka is special.
We've been relying on her because we thought she could do anything.
But she wasn't special.
We told ourselves that she was special, so we could.
We just put her on a pedestal.
But Asuka was never really special.
Vice president, section leader,\Ndrum major...
We created the idea that she's special.
We expected her to do it all perfectly.
She made being vice president, \Nsection leader, and drum major look easy.
She never showed any vulnerability,\Nso we assumed she was okay.
It was normal for her to do it all so well.
But now it's our turn to support Asuka.
She never showed weakness, and we got complacent and thought it was fine.
So she can return at any time.
Now it's our turn to support her.
Please...
So we'll be ready when she returns.
Don't underestimate us.
Please.
You don't need to tell us.\NWe'll follow your lead!
Do you really think we'd be that lousy?
We're all serious, you know.
You don't have to talk to us like that.\N Of course we'll stand by you!
The day of the station building\Nconcert finally arrived.
We're all serious.
And eventually the day of the station concert came around.
I'm getting nervous.
I'm getting nervous.
I hope we can do this.
I don't know if I can do it.
You'll be fine, Hazuki-chan!
It'll be fine, Hazuki-chan.
But...
Ah.. But..
Seira High...
Seira Girls' High...
They seem so confident.\NThey go to Nationals every year.
You can tell they're regulars at nationals. They look like they're in their element.
But we're going to Nationals too.
Yeah, but...
That's right.
We made nationals, too.
Yeah, that's right!
You're right.
Exactly.
Asuka!
Asuka!
What? It's like you've seen a ghost.
What's with that face?\N You look like you just saw a ghost.
Asuka-senpai.
Asuka-senpai...
You came.
You made it.
I told you I wouldn't let you down.
I told you I wouldn't cause any trouble.
Asuka-senpai!
Asuka-senpai! Senpai!
Senpai!
We were so worried!
We were so worried!
Don't cry again.
Jeez, again with the crying.
Asuka.
Asuka...
I'm playing the solo.
I'm going to play a solo.
So support me, OK?
Will you carry me?
Of course!
Of course!
This is too much to cover...
It's way too broad.
I told you I was serious\Nfrom the beginning!
I told you that I'm serious about it!
But you're graduating next year.
Even though you're graduating in a year?
It'll be too late by then!\NI have to do this now!
That's too late! It has to be now.
But... why beauty school?
But why a beautician, all of a sudden?
I've always done what you wanted.
Until now, I've done everything you said.
As the older sister,\NI've endured everything.
I've put up with it all this time \Nbecause I'm the older sister!
Mamiko.
Mamiko...
I never wanted to switch schools\Nor study for college entrance exams!
Transferring schools, taking the exams...
I wanted to play music, like Kumiko!
I never really wanted to do any of it.
I wanted to keep up with band, like Kumiko.
I didn't want to quit the trombone!
I didn't want to quit the trombone!
Then you should have said so\Nbefore you started college.
If you felt so strongly,
You made that impossible.
you should have said so before you got into college.
Your mom and I may have\Nexpected a lot from you.
Who's the one that made\Nit so awkward that I couldn't?
But it was your decision to go to college.
True, Mom and I might have put \Na lot of pressure on you.
If you're going to quit now, then get out.
But you're still the one who decided to \Ngo to college and take the exams.
Take care of your own living expenses\Nand beauty school tuition.
If you're really quitting,\Nyou'll leave this house.
All right?
Find a way to make a living and \Npay for tuition yourself.
Wait, Dad...
Got it?
Show me you mean it.
Wait, honey...
You're quitting college?
If you're serious, show it.
After you got after me to study?\NYou're quitting?
Onee-chan, you're dropping out?
Why? I thought you wanted to get into\Na good college and find a good job!
After how much you nagged me to study,\N you're dropping out?
It'll all be for nothing!
Why?!
Stay out of it.
Weren't you studying so you could attend a good college and land a good job?
Why did you quit the trombone?
That was all a waste of time if you quit!
Whatever.
It's none of your business.
Why are you quitting, Onee-chan?
No reason.
I want to play with you.
I want to play with you.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Mamiko...
Come on, Onee-chan—
I told you to shut up!
I told you to shut up.
Shut up or I'll sew your mouth shut!
Keep talking crap and I'll\Nsew your mouth shut!
Is Mamiko dropping out of college?
Is Mamiko-san quitting college?
How did you know?
How did you know?!
My mom heard.
Mom said she heard.
She told me not to tell anyone.
After she told me not to tell people...
Did something happen at school?
Did something happen at college?
No idea. We don't talk much\Nsince she started college.
I wouldn't know.
MUSIC ROOM
Ever since she started college, \NI hardly ever talk to her.
OK, Number 13.
Okay, next, number 13.
Asuka Tanaka is back!
Tanaka Asuka has returned!
Give me a break.
What do you mean, "returned"?
After the station building concert,\NAsuka-senpai
Asuka-senpai, ever since the concert at the station building,
rarely came to practice, even with\Nthe competition coming up.
even with the competition coming up, \NAsuka-senpai rarely came to practice.
We were all worried.
We were all worried.
You even ignored our texts.
Please stop reading but ignoring my messages.
I told you. I won't let you guys down.
I keep telling you...\NI won't cause you trouble.
But...
But...
OK, take your seats everyone.
Okay, guys! Everyone, take a seat!
Morning! How's it going?
Morning. How's it going?
Slowly.
Not bad.
You never change, Oumae-chan.
You're still such an Oumae-chan, Oumae-chan...
What do you mean?
What's that supposed to mean?
It's a compliment, actually.
Technically, it's a compliment.
She was back to her old self.
Asuka-senpai was her usual self.
But when I saw that\Ncold profile of hers again,
But seeing her face next to me \Nfor the first time in a while,
I was overcome with anxiety.
I was overcome by an uncontrollable \Nsense of dread.
Um...
Hey...
You're not quitting are you, Asuka-senpai?
Asuka-senpai, you aren't quitting, are you?
Are you?
You aren't quitting, are you?
You're not--
You aren't—
Shut up, or I'll sew your mouth shut.
Keep pestering me and I'll sew your mouth shut.
By the way, aren't mid-terms coming up?
Oh, yeah. Oumae-chan, are you ready for your midterms?
You said high school subjects\Nwere a lot harder.
Weren't you freaking out
Well, math is a lot harder.
that they've gotten really hard in high school?
Want some help?
Well, yeah. In math, I guess...
Practices end early next week, right?\NWhy don't you come over?
Want me to help you?
To your house?
Let's see... Next week, practice ends early, right?
Mamiko.
Come over!
Come over?
To your place?
Mamiko-san...
Shuichi?
Shuichi?
It's been a while.
Hello. Long time, no see.
You grew. And you look cool!\NYou must be popular.
You've grown so tall.
You're looking good. Bet you're popular.
Not really...
Not really...
See ya.
See you!
Um...
Umm.
Have you ever heard us play, Mamiko?
Mamiko-san...
Have you ever come to hear us play?
Why?
Why?
It would be nice if you did.
I wish you'd come to hear us sometime.
We performed well at Kansai.\NWe even shocked ourselves.
We were really good at the Kansai Competition.
And we're going to Nationals.
We could hardly believe it ourselves.
So I should go to Nagoya?
And we're going to the Nationals next.
I know... it's far.
You want me to go all the way to Nagoya?
But I think Kumiko would like you\Nto hear her play, just once.
Oh, yeah... That's true.
She started playing in the\Nconcert band because of you.
I think Kumiko would want you to \Nhear her at least once, though.
Because of me?
I mean, she started concert band \Nbecause she admired you.
Me?
Now?
Now?
Just a little.
Just a little.
It's too loud.
No, it's too loud.
You'll play for me?
You're going to play for me?
Mamiko...
Onee-chan...
I'd forgotten.
I'd forgotten.
We'll end practice here today.
All right, that's it for today's practice.
I have something to tell you.
But I need to talk to you about one thing.
If I don't get confirmation\Nby this weekend
If, by the end of the week,
that Asuka is going to continue\Nin the concert band,
we haven't gotten confirmation that \NTanaka-san can continue with the club,
Nakagawa-san will take her place\Nat the National competition.
we'll have Nakagawa-san play at the Nationals.
Oumae-chan.
Oumae-chan...
Natsuki-senpai.
Natsuki-senpai?
Am I not good enough?
Are you worried about me playing?
No, it's not... like that.
Oh, no...
I'm scared.
Not at all.
How long have you known?
Well, I am.
Since Asuka-senpai's mother\Ncame to school.
How long have you known about this?
Asuka-senpai told me...
Right after Asuka-senpai's mom came in, I think.
Natsuki-senpai's sheet music
Asuka-senpai told me.
was all marked up with\Npointers from Asuka-senpai.
Natsuki-senpai's sheet music was covered \Nwith tips from Asuka-senpai.
It was like reading a will.
It was almost like her will.
Bring her back?
"Bring Back Asuka-senpai"?
You're going to her house\Nto study next week, right?
Yeah. Next week, she's helping \Nyou study at your place, right?
I can't.
I refuse.
I haven't said anything yet.
I haven't even said anything yet.
You want me to convince her mom, right?
You're going to ask me to \Nconvince her mom, aren't you?
Yeah.
W-Well, you know...
That's impossible! I can't!
No way... That's crazy.
Don't worry. Kaori-senpai gave\Nme a secret weapon.
Don't worry.
Chestnut confectionaries...
Kaori-senpai has something that'll help.
...from Koufu-do. They're the best!
"I recommend the steamed chestnut buns \Nfrom Koufudou, near the station."
What is this?
What in the world is this?
Asuka-senpai's mother's favorite.
Asuka-senpai's mom's favorite snack.
You can't lose with this.
Bring this, and everything will be okay.
Look me in the eye and say it.
Say that to my face.
OK...
Okay.
Even if I succeed in convincing her mom,
You've always done well, though.
you'll lose your place if\NAsuka-senpai comes back.
Besides, if Asuka-senpai returns, you won't \Nbe able to play, Natsuki-senpai.
I don't mind. I have next year.
I don't mind. I have next year.
Right now, it's better for the club\Nif Asuka-senpai comes back.
Right now, Asuka-senpai playing \Nis the best thing for the club.
Are you being honest with yourself?
Do you really mean that?
I knew you'd ask me that. Yes, I am.
That sounds like something you'd ask.
So that's what\Nyou guys were talking about.
Yeah, I really mean it.
It's a big responsibility.
I see, that's what you were talking about.
Reina, why do you think\NAsuka-senpai invited me?
Yeah. It's such a huge responsibility.
I play in a different section,\Nso I don't know her that well.
Why do you think Asuka-senpai called me, Reina?
Yeah...
I'm not in your section.
MATH I
I don't even know Asuka-senpai that well.
Yeah, of course.
There she is.
There she is.
Oumae-chan!
Oumae-chan!
Ah... what's that book?
Hey, what are you reading?
Wanna know?
Are you curious?
If it's good, I'll lend it to you.
If it's good, I'll lend it to you.
Let's go.
Let's go.
OK.
Okay.
This is my house.\NDon't worry, no one's home.
This is my place.
No one's here, so make yourself at home.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Nervous?
Are you nervous?
N-no.
No.
You brought your euphonium home.
I see you brought your euphonium home.
My mom doesn't know though.
She doesn't know that though.
Oh... I see.
O-Oh, really?
OK, show me.
Now, can I take a look?
Your notes.
Your notes.
Here.
Ah!
Young lady!
Please and thank you.
This is serious.
Very well.
Yeah...
Young lady?
Add this and this.
Yes?
This simply won't do...
Yes...
So then, you add these two.
Oh, I see.
Oh, I see.
You got it, Oumae-chan!
You see? Right, Oumae-chan?
OK, let's take a break.
How about we take a little break?
Shall we eat those?
Wanna eat those cream manjuu?
Huh? Um... they're for your mom.
Uh... These are supposed to be for your mother...
I had a feeling.\NIt was Kaori's idea, right?
I thought as much.
Well...
That's definitely something Kaori would come up with.
Sorry, but my mom's\Ncoming home late today.
Oh, no, that's—
I'll give them to her though.
Sorry to disappoint you, but she's coming back late tonight.
Thank you.
I'll try to give them to her later though.
I'll go refresh your tea.
Here.
I'll help.
Please do so.
Pins and needles...
Thanks.
We don't have any good snacks.
I'll make some more tea.
Are cookies okay?
Oh, I'll help you—
Can I ask you something?
M-My legs fell asleep.
Why did you offer to tutor me?
There isn't really anything good here.
I heard a rumor that your grades\Nwere incredibly dismal.
You okay with cookies?
Who told you that?!
Um, could I ask you something?
Why did you suddenly decide to tutor me?
I heard that your grades were slipping into dangerous levels because of your cold.
Wh-Who told you that?
Just kidding.
Just kidding.
I wanted to talk to you.
I just... wanted to talk to you a little.
Have you ever read this?
Have you read this before?
Yes, I have a copy.
Yes, I have a copy.
Everyone reads it when they start playing.
Most people start with this book, don't they?
The author is a euphonium player\Nnamed Masakazu Shindo.
The author,
He's famous. I have his CD too.
Shindou Masakazu is a euphonium player himself.
He was my father.
He's pretty famous, isn't he? I have his CDs—
The tea's getting cold.
He's my former father.
Who cares about the tea?!
Let's drink. The tea's getting cold.
Question time.
Now's not the time for that!
Uh... you said he "was" your father. Why?
Question time, then.
Ah, isn't it obvious?\NMy parents got divorced.
U-Uh, well, first...
Tanaka is my mom's name.
What do you mean by former father?!
I see.
Hm, well...That's self explanatory, isn't it?
They split up when I was two.\NI don't remember him much.
My parents divorced.
Have you seen your dad since?
That's why I'm "Tanaka Asuka."
My mom doesn't want me to.
That makes sense.
You saw her at school.\NShe's a bit unstable.
I was only two when it happened.
Unstable?
I don't really have many memories of my father because of that.
She's super controlling,\Nand she gets hysterical.
You haven't seen him since then? Your father, that is.
He must have gotten sick of that.
My mom's, well, you know...
But I don't hate her.
Apparently she absolutely didn't want me to have anything to do with him.
She raised me as a single mom.\NI know I owe her a lot.
You saw how she is from that time in the staff room, didn't you?
You say you don't hate her, but
She's a bit strange.
you actually do, right?
"Strange"...
It's not a matter of love or hate.
She's very restrictive and gets hysteric at the drop of a hat.
My mother will always be my mother.
Maybe that's why they got divorced?
I can't change that fact,\Nno matter how I struggle with it.
But it's not like I hate her or anything.
I'm chained to it. For eternity.
She did raise me on her own this whole time.
She has this ideal of happiness\Netched in her mind.
I do feel like I need to repay her for that.
And concert band isn't part of it.
You say that you don't hate her.
From the beginning...
but you actually do hate her, don't you?
Then why take up the euphonium?
This isn't an issue of love or hate.
When I was in first grade,
After all, no matter what happens, she'll always be my mother.
I got a package.
No matter how much I try to deny it,\N the fact that she gave birth to me isn't going to change.
A beat-up notebook,\Na letter, and a euphonium.
It's like a shackle. A shackle binding me for my whole life.
I heard someone at the local music store\Nused to play the euphonium.
She has her own idea of happiness inside her head
I tried playing and was pretty good at it.
and a wind ensemble isn't in there.
It made me so happy.
Never has been.
Sounds like a fairy tale.
Then why did you start playing the euphonium?
My mom was against it, of course.
I think it was back in first grade.
She tolerated it at first, but when she\Nsaw I wasn't going to quit, we fought.
It just got delivered to me.
In the end, we decided that I'd quit\Nthe minute my grades began to suffer.
A worn-out notebook, a letter,
That's why...
and a euphonium out of the blue.
I was desperate to continue\Ndoing what I loved to do.
And then I heard that
So I always looked around me and thought,
there was a store clerk who could play the euphonium at one of the local music shops.
I'm not doing this for fun,\NI'll just play for myself.
My first try at it went a lot better than I expected.
It back-fired on me though.
And that made me incredibly happy.
That almost sounds like something out of a manga.
But of course, she didn't support me.
At first I tried to just bear with it—
but I couldn't, and we got into a big fight.
And then we finally agreed that if my grades slipped, I'd stop immediately.
So that's why...
I was desperate to continue doing the thing that I loved.
That's why I always had to be on top of everything.
"I'm not just doing this for fun."
"I'm happy just to be playing—even alone."
This must be punishment.
Huh?
Look at this.
Look at this.
The National Competition homepage...
This is the homepage for the National Competition.
Ah, here it is.
Yeah, right here.
Masakazu Shindo.
(Judges) Shindou Masakazu?
This lit a fire.
Suddenly I realized—
I knew if we made it to Nationals,\Nhe'd hear me play.
if we go to Nationals, he'll get to hear me play.
So...
That's why...
I want to advance!
Since we've come this far, I want to do whatever it takes
I want Kitauji's sound\Nto resonate all over!
to let Kitauji ensemble sound throughout all of Japan.
It was self-serving though...\NAnd look what happened.
Everything was for this,
I guess God sees everything.
but this is the result.
Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble.\NShall we continue?
That just means that God is watching, doesn't it?
I love your euphonium, Asuka-senpai!
Oh, sorry!
You were playing it by yourself\None morning at camp.
That went on longer than I thought it would.
When I heard you play that piece,
Let's get back to study—
I knew I loved your sound.
I...!
That piece is by Masakazu Shindo.
I love hearing you play the euphonium, Asuka-senpai!
It was transcribed in the notebook\Nthat came with the euphonium.
You were playing by yourself that morning at the practice camp, weren't you?
Your dad's...
When I heard you play that piece...
Maybe I want you to hate that piece.
I thought to myself that I really loved it.
Tear it to pieces.
That piece was composed by Shindou-san.
It was in the notebook that he sent along with the euphonium.
By your father?
Maybe what I really wanted was for you to reject that piece.
I might've wanted you to tear it to bits.
Why?
Why?
I love that piece!
I really like it! That piece...
It's so warm and gentle.
It's so warm and has a gentle feeling to it.
I could listen to it forever!\NI want to hear you play it now!
I want to keep hearing it!
I even want you play it for me right now!
Oumae-chan...
Oumae-chan...
You're so aggressive today.
You're unusually aggressive today.
You're the one that's different today.
You're the one who's acting different from usual.
Yeah, maybe so.
I see...
Yes.
You're right.
Wanna go to the river?
I feel like playing!
Yes!
Do you really want to hear it?
Yes!
You're just like a euphonium, Oumae-chan.
I never thought of myself as a euphonium.
So when I saw you, I was shocked.
To see a girl who embodied the euphonium.
Is that a complement?
It sure is.
Maybe that's why I wanted\Nto tell you about me.
I had never seen that smile before.
It was so unlike Asuka-senpai.
So how was it?!
How was what?
Asuka-senpai!
Oh... right. She was fine.
But not ready to return to the band.
I see... but her grades are so good.
Why isn't her mom satisfied?
Yeah! She's doing great\Nin school and band.
Her mom is holding her back. I hate her!
Calm down.
But if you think about her future,
quitting the band and focusing\Non exams may be better for her.
I know but...
But still...
I want to play with Asuka-senpai!
Right?
Something smells.
What are you doing?
Making miso soup.
Hm? What's this?
Dinner. Mom and Dad are going to be late.
You're making dinner?!
So what if I am?
Did you make up?
I plan to.
What about you?
We were let out early to study.
I'm not usually home at this time of day.
Right...
Your timing sucks...
I...
I always avoided making\Ndecisions for myself.
I complained but went along\Nwith whatever they decided.
I thought that was doing my best.
Listening to your parents and enduring.\NI thought that was being mature.
And?
Go on.
So you annoyed me.
You were so carefree,\Nplaying in the concert band.
I was jealous of you.
Your freedom. They let you do\Nwhatever you wanted.
But they totally favored you.
They had low expectations\Nof me, that's all.
Are you kidding me?
No.
Mom always praised you.
And I was always sulking.
I admit, she was proud of me.
But I've decided to stop pretending.
I tried to act like an adult\Nwhen I was only in high school.
I gave up everything, and just endured.
But that's meaningless.
I'm ready to accept regret and failure
to walk my own path.
I wish I told them that.
Even if they were against it.
So no mistakes this time.
You're moving out?
Yeah.
I see.
Will you miss me?
Not really.
I see.
I'll miss you a little. Just a little.
I know. I'll go to Nationals\Nto hear you play.
Huh? You'll come to hear me play?
That's what I said.
Come get me when Mom comes home.
I'm going to take a nap.
You should live your life\Nwith no regrets too.
Hot!
Morning! No concert band today?
Nope.
Where's Mamiko?
She went home this morning.
I see.
Again! Just once more!
Oh, all right.
I told you to be quiet.
I was jealous of you.
You really want to play?
Yeah!
I want to play with you!
I'll miss you, too.
OK.
I told you!
Asuka-senpai?
Taki-Sensei said Natsuki's taking my place\Nand she agreed. End of story.
Why rehash everything now?
Nakagawa-san said\Nshe really wants you to play.
Of course she did.
You think she'd actually say,\N"Sure. I want to play?"
But...
But...
I've already moved on.
I'm focusing on my exams.
Asuka...
Are you sure?
Is that really what you want?
I told you from the beginning.
I'll give you time to solve this problem.
Why is she lying like that?
I know she wants to go to Nationals.
I know she wants to play.
That's it for today.\NGood luck on the test.
Kumiko-chan, what about lunch?
Go ahead.
A freshman?
- Who are you?
Um, is Asuka-senpai... Asuka Tanaka here?
Are you in the band?
Yes.
Asuka!
That took guts, coming to my class.\NWant a candy?
Thank you.
Someone gave it to me.
How's this? So what is it?
I need to talk to you.
Did you fall in love with me\Nwhile you were at my house?
No.
I thought not.
What is it?
Please play at the competition.
Is that it?
Yes.
Yes.
The answer is no.
Hey, let's go to the river.
The reason is because\Nit's better for the band.
I feel like playing.
That's not true.
Okay.
Why?
You really want to hear it that badly?
I can't go to practice. I don't even\Nknow if I can go to the competition.
I do!
I'll cause trouble for everyone.
You really are just like a euphonium, Oumae-chan.
I wouldn't even want me there.
I've always thought that I'm nothing like a euphonium.
You have a good reason.
That's why I was so surprised when I saw you, Oumae-chan.
We all have our reasons.
It was so...
But everyone wants you to play.
So surprising to find someone so much like a euphonium right next to me.
Everyone? Who's everyone?
Is that a compliment?
Well...
It is.
Can you guarantee that\Nthey're telling you the truth?
Maybe that's why...
Guarantee?
Maybe that's why I wanted you to hear me out.
That they want me to play.
The smile she bore was the likes of which she'd
Of course they'll say\Nthey want to play with me.
That way no one gets hurt.
No one will be criticized.
But that doesn't mean\Neveryone feels that way.
The bass section\Nand Natsuki-senpai feel that way.
We all want you to play!
How can you say that?
I can!
I can't believe you said that.
Why can't I?
You can, but...
I wonder if you really know\Neveryone that well.
You act like you care, but\Nyou're afraid to hurt anyone and be hurt
so you sit back and watch\Nfrom a safe distance.
Who would bare their soul\Nto someone like that?
You were so passionate just now.\NWhat happened?
It's better if I just fade out.
Don't worry.\NThey'll forget me soon enough.
Go to Nationals with a united front.
The seniors are retiring\Nafter that anyways.
I don't get that impression from her.
It's better for the club.
I want to play with Asuka-senpai!
So what?
You're right!
About the club, the competition,\Neverything!
But I don't car
