Original subtitles

That Sunday, I...

What made you want to come to the park all of a sudden, Emi?

Come on down. It's dangerous.

I'm gonna be a pianist!

At the top of the jungle gym,

I chose a future as a pianist.

I abandoned every other path I could've taken and embraced this one.

Come back.

Come back!

Welcome.

Now, now. Where are your manners?

How do you do? I'm Ochiai Yuriko.

What's your name?

Um...

What is it?

I wanna be really good at piano so I can make people feel like I did!

C-Can I learn to play like him too?

Come back!

If you wish for it hard enough, Emi, I'm sure your music will show you the way.

The piano will give you your answer.

Can I play it?

Of course.

That's the only kind of sound I can make.

But that boy made sounds that were just like sunflowers.

Arima Kousei, you were my inspiration.

Every great performer had to start somewhere.

Even Mozart and Beethoven.

Even the person who made you decide to become a pianist.

What will you pour into your playing?

What do you wish for?

I...

I want to play the piano like that boy.

I want to stand on the same stage as him.

That way, I just know...

I'll be able to see what he sees.

Let it ring.

Let my piano ring!

Let it ring.

The rainbow after a storm

The rainbow after a storm

and the flowers blooming by the wayside

and the flowers blooming by the wayside

burst into color that day

burst into color that day

When I saw you

When I saw you

gazing at the crimson sky

gazing at the crimson sky

and fell in love

and fell in love

Every dramatic frame,

Every dramatic frame,

we painted on that film roll

we painted on that film roll

will stay forever etched in my memories

will stay forever etched in my memories

It was you, my special one, who opened my eyes

It was you, my special one, who opened my eyes

The stars in the night sky show us

The stars in the night sky show us

There can be light in darkness

There can be light in darkness

Stop hiding your sorrow

Stop hiding your sorrow

behind that dazzling smile

behind that dazzling smile

For all the stars in the night sky shine brightly on you

For all the stars in the night sky shine brightly on you

The hopes and fears we cling to

The hopes and fears we cling to

will be the guiding lights that lead us into brilliance

will be the guiding lights that lead us into brilliance

Is she for real?

That was insane!

Good job! You were wonderful.

I...

What the...

You confessing your love?!

Sorry.

I'm gonna go change.

Sure.

Don't catch a cold.

Just spill it already!

There's no need for words right now.

I already poured all my feelings into the piano.

There will now be a brief intermission.

Judging will resume in 15 minutes.

Did you see that girl who just left?

She had so much medication with her...

Huh?

Yo, hot-girl alert!

What's the matter, Tsubaki?

The closer it gets to Kousei's turn, my stomach...

Dealing with my own games is way easier than this!

It's not like you're the one playing.

Just sit back and relax!

I know, but is Kousei gonna be all right?

Just spotted a cougar!

He could be shaking in his boots after that amazing performance for all we know.

No way that's happening.

He's a man, you know.

We will now resume judging.

"Thump, thump."

My heart's pounding harder than ever.

Arima's choice of piece today is Chopin's Étude Op. 25, No. 5.

Inconceivable!

Until now, Arima's always showcased his ability to play complex pieces without error.

That's why I challenged him with my Op. 25, No. 11.

Same goes for Takeshi.

But the piece Arima chose for today isn't exactly hard to play.

Inconceivable!

How did you pick out Kousei's piece?

It landed on 25-5, so...

You let a pencil decide?!

A pencil?!

It didn't matter what piece he played.

As long as he entered the competition,

nothing else mattered.

Mr. Arima Kousei.

Please get ready.

All right.

Just by coming here, I know he'll be inspired.

There's no way it won't motivate him.

The other pianists won't let him hold back.

They won't let him stop.

Arima's a musician, after all.

This is so strange.

Is it because it's been two years?

My heart's pounding in my chest so fiercely.

So intensely.

Is it from watching those two perform?

Relentless and captivating, they've shaken my soul to its very core.

This is who I am.

Watch me!

I'm the same as you.

I'm sure the clock's hands will move,

and time will start flowing again.

Kao...

I never knew music could be so vibrant and efflorescent.

Are you ready?

He's ready to move forward. I believe in him.

Music really can make your blood boil.

Here he is!

It's Arima.

Arima...

Arima...

Now I'm nervous too!

I really wanna go to the bathroom!

Hey...

Here at last, huh?

Are you ready for your journey to begin?

Come on, we're gonna play dodgeball!

You can just dodge the whole time, okay?

Tsubaki...

I'm in the middle of a lesson with my mom.

What?! Not again!

Huh?

How'd you get those welts?

I-I was in a hurry and bumped my arm.

You really are a klutz, aren't you?

Kousei, get back in here!

Whoa, that scared me!

Sorry, Tsubaki. My mom's calling me.

Ask me another time?

Sure.

Good luck, then...

Chelsea

Take your seat.

All right, Kousei. Let's begin.

Your Lie in April

Your Lie in April

No running in the halls!

Okay!

I brought you your laundry, Mom.

Oh, Kousei.

How did the Nagai Memorial Competition go?

I got first place.

Here's the certificate.

But Haydn's given you such trouble.

I practiced a ton!

Good for you.

That makes me feel better.

Your achievements are the best medicine for me, Kousei.

I'll take first place again.

If it'll help you get better, Mom,

I'll get first place as many times as you want.

So...

What's the matter?

He's just standing there...

Don't waver.

Don't be afraid.

Damn it, it's overpowering me!

We're all afraid, you know.

Go on!

Go on!

There he is, under the spotlight once again.

He's back.

The invincible one. The pianist in a league of his own.

The one I looked up to...

Arima Kousei.

He's back.

His unmatched accuracy, like a mirror image of the score.

The immaculate level of playing that the rest of us could never achieve.

This is the Arima Kousei of two years ago.

I can hear the notes.

My fingers are moving.

I've memorized the score enough to play it perfectly.

I can play through sheer muscle memory.

How do you want to play this piece?

This is no different from how I've always played.

That's how it should be.

A musician should be a mirror that reflects the score.

Besides, you can't win any other way.

You're going to get first place for Mom again, aren't you, Kousei?

You were playing the piano again this morning?

I came to buy food.

I got enough for me and my mom, since my dad's away on business.

Hey, there's just egg sandwiches in here!

That's not very healthy.

Well, she won't let me use a knife.

I'll bring you something to eat.

We have oden left over from yesterday.

How's your mom doing, Kousei?

My mom said she hasn't been feeling well.

She's going to be hospitalized soon.

But why?

It's probably...

because of me.

Huh?

What?

Never mind.

My mom got mad because I couldn't play the way she told me to, and it made her ill.

I'm gonna get first place

so I can make her better again.

Arima's in first again?

The Human Metronome, huh?

Just go overseas already!

Bland and uninspired.

He's totally in my way!

And he's nothing but his mother's puppet!

Shut up, shut up!

None of you know what you're talking about.

I'm the only one who's on Mom's side.

My mom's coming from the hospital to see my next performance.

Really?

So your mom's all better now?

That's great!

I bet it's all thanks to that visit from this handsome devil right here.

And my candy erasers!

I don't think Kousei's mom even knew what to do with those.

The entrance on stage left.

A spot where I can see her.

That's Mom's special seat.

She's here today.

Right. Thanks.

So...

So I can make Mom better again and make her happy,

my gift to her will be playing my very best!

What are you doing, Saki?!

How can you even call that a performance?!

How many times have I told you to review the score?

You idiot!

Stop it, Saki!

How cruel...

But I've never heard Arima play better...

Misplaying both the third and eleventh measures?!

I'm going to get one of the staff.

You make those mistakes because you're drowning in your emotions!

You're not going to bed until you can play that part.

Why can't you even play an easy piece like this?

You're worthless!

I'm in the middle of a lesson with my mom.

What?!

Stop messing up the same part!

That kid's covered in bruises.

That's why he always wears long sleeves.

Who'd be that harsh with a kid?

She's a monster.

How dare you throw that score?

You should be ashamed of yourself!

All I wanted was to make you happy.

Even when I wanted to play with Tsubaki and Watari, or when you hit me...

I always put up with it and kept practicing.

All I wanted was for you to get better!

All I wanted was for you to be happy.

And yet...

I wish you would just die.

Those were the last words I ever said to her.

Kousei...

Are you going to compete in the final?

Yeah.

I made it through the prelims, after all.

I know it's awful.

My mother just passed away, and here I am worrying about the competition that's coming up.

How terrible is that?

Are you okay?

Sure I am.

I was built for this, after all.

I can't remember what my mother's face looked like that day.

It's like there's a big black hole staring back at me.

His mother just passed away, didn't she?

How can he play the piano like nothing happened?

He's not off by even a fraction.

It's business as usual.

He's a demonic chip off the old block.

The entrance on stage left.

A spot where I can see her.

That's Mom's special seat.

This is...

my punishment.

That's right.

This is your punishment.

You understand that, don't you?

My darling, dear little Kousei.

The notes...

What the...

I can't hear the notes anymore.

He's starting to unravel.

Rumor has it that Arima can't hear himself play anymore.
