Gala Concert

You're totally distracted!

I'm just doing what I'm supposed to!

Your playing was so timid!

Your heart wasn't in it at all!

Listen, does this have to be the piece we play for the gala concert?

Oh, come on. What's wrong with it?

A concert like this calls for something with a little more flair.

Let's pick something more popular.

No way!

This is the piece I wanna play!

Don't worry.

With the two of us playing it, it'll sound plenty flashy!

I wonder why you're being so shy about it.

The score was overflowing with so much love for you.

Kreisler's Love's Joy.

Love's Sorrow.

Love's Sorrow, the companion piece to Kreisler's Love's Joy, was written for the violin.

Rachmaninoff wrote a piano arrangement as well.

Huh? Is this where I put it?

Falling asleep under the piano again...

You're going to catch a cold.

You've grown, haven't you,

Kousei?

This is your punishment.

The piano won't answer you, will it?

I wish you would just die.

I can't hear!

Help me, Mom!

I wonder why you're being so shy about it.

"Why"?

Because it reminds me of my mother.

Tiny Castellas

Tiny Castellas

Hiroko, I've got to practice...

Forget about that!

A change of scenery will do you some good. You've gotta take some time to relax.

Cotton candy and frappes!

Hey, don't get lost out there!

Rachmaninoff's Love's Sorrow.

Saki used to play that all the time, even when we were students.

I heard it a lot as a lullaby.

This piece reminds me too much of my mother.

It feels so raw and vivid as it closes in on me.

My mother must've really hated me, huh?

No mother in the world would hate her own child.

That moment...

That was the moment you grew up, both as a person and as a pianist.

There's no way it wouldn't have made Saki happy.

There you are!

I'm sorry!

But it can be a bit lonely watching your child grow apart from you.

Do you think...

Do you think my mother will forgive me?

I've tried so hard to forget all about her.

Is it okay for me to play the piano?

If that's how you feel, then play.

Play with conviction in the face of whatever's holding you back.

Try to hear Saki's voice.

Her voice...

"Don't fret over such ridiculous things.

Become a man who can stand up for himself."

Let's play.

We're both pianists, after all.

Candy apple!

You don't like candy apples?

No, that's not it! I've just never had one before...

Don't cry! I'll eat it! See?

Thanks.

Maybe I'm being too harsh with him.

It looks tasty.

But he has to play.

So that he can mature as a pianist.

It's good!

So that he can say goodbye.

Jeez, look how late it is!

Gala Concert

That's because you were too stubborn to give up!

What about you?! You wouldn't stop whining about the selection!

I wonder if your folks are gonna be mad at us for coming home so late.

Hey, look up at the sky!

Are you ignoring me?!

The stars are so beautiful.

It's like they're speaking to us!

A bakery?

I'm home!

Wait here for a sec.

I'm just gonna head home.

What the hell do you want with my daughter?!

Uh...

I...

Arima?

Arima?

Well, if it ain't Arima!

It's just leftover stock, but have your fill, okay?

Th-Thank you very much!

We've got some samples too, right?

Please, I've already had more than enough!

My parents are fans of yours.

They went to your competitions all the time when we were kids.

I heard the whole story, Arima!

You shouldn't abort your performances.

That's like flushing all your struggles down the drain!

It's like baking a moist sponge cake, only for it to be totally ruined by some god-awful cream!

Sorry about that.

Still, I like a young man who breaks the mold!

Good for you!

There's no difference once it's in your stomach, since the ingredients are all the same.

Thank you very much.

Want to see some pictures of Kaori from grade school?

She was so adorable!

We have some from kindergarten too!

Don't you dare!

Here, for your folks.

I appreciate it.

And thank you for all the cake.

We'll be cheering you on at the gala concert.

Good luck!

Thanks. I'll do my best.

I'll walk him to the main street.

So that's Arima, huh?

Seems like a good, well-mannered kid, don't you think?

Yeah.

Like, really?! They even hauled out the baby pictures!

Buck naked and all!

Now I can never get married!

You sure have cheerful parents.

My mom's always stuffing starving dogs with food.

"Starving"?

Huh?

Did you get taller?

Huh? I'm not sure.

Oh, I get it.

It's because you're not looking down anymore.

Anyway, it sure is hot this year.

A meaningless conversation.

Familiar scenery.

It's so humid!

I can't stand it.

Don't you think it's muggy?

Even so, the reason I remember it so well is probably...

Oh, but I do like summer for the fireworks.

I'm sure...

Gala Concert

I told you!

Make that part flow more elegantly!

The accompanist can't just ignore what's written!

Otherwise, the violin won't stand out!

Will too! 'Cause I'm the one playing it!

All's right with the world.

You're so arrogant!

Just follow my lead!

Where's my green tea and red bean shaved ice?

It's not that simple! You runaway horse!

Huh? I'm eating it.

You monster!

That was my shaved ice!

I can't go on!

I don't want to go to summer school!

I want to play!

I want to go to the festival!

All's right with the world.

I want to light some fireworks!

Done!

The first fireworks of the year!

So pretty!

Are you sure we're not gonna get caught sneaking in here to light firecrackers?

Oh, no worries!

All the teachers have gone home anyway.

And we've got plenty of water at our disposal.

Lay off the rockets, got it?

Kashiwagi...

More summer school tomorrow...

Well, just suck it up.

It's your fault for being a moron.

Shut up, you lousy scholarship student!

What are you two gonna do?

I mean for high school.

Since you're not attending summer school,

does that mean you're on the music-college track?

I'm...

I haven't thought about the future.

For now, I'm gonna rock the audience at the gala and steal the spotlight!

We're the almighty duo, after all!

Yeah, that's the spirit!

Awesome!

Yeah.

Those two look great together.

That's dangerous!

I could say the same!

What are you gaping at?!

Why?!

It's pitch black at the bottom.

I can't hear a sound.

It's like my...

Help me.

Please help me!

I can't hear anything.

Enveloped in darkness.

Not hearing the notes you play could mean you're not bound by auditory perception.

I'm not bound by sound?

You've been letting the imagery within you

and the sounds that rise up from the bottom of your soul override everything else without realizing it.

Wasn't there ever a moment when you sensed all those thoughts and all that imagery

permeating the notes with your desires and emotions?

Losing your ability to hear yourself play is nothing short of a gift.

A gift?

Close your eyes, cover your ears, and just play as you feel.

You have the technical ability to pull that off.

The ability to trace the sounds that you see within yourself.

It's a memento that Saki left behind for you.

Did you get taller?

Oh, I get it.

It's because you're not looking down anymore.

It's because you're looking up now!

Kousei!

Are you okay?!

Kousei!

He's alive!

He's in pain!

That's proof that he's alive!

How could you?

How could you drown in such a shallow pool?!

Everyone's gonna blame me!

He freakin' slammed his head right into his savior's face!

Well played.

Is it the pool?

Or because the moon's out?

Maybe—

just maybe—

light can reach even the bottom of a dark sea.

Gala Concert

Miyazono's playing too, right?

Yeah. She's the girl who stopped playing in the middle of her performance.

The people who run this thing must be crazy.

But that actually made an impact. I'm so excited!

I wonder if she'll play it right today.

She'll probably go wild with it again.

Well, I came today just to see her.

All right! There's nobody I know around here.

Emi?

Aren't you going to take your seat?

Ms. Ochiai?!

Um... who's this "Emi"?

I'm the one who told you about Arima being an accompanist today.

I-It's not like I came here to see Arima!

I-I'm just here to enjoy some v-violin music...

Here's your program.

Let's go.

It'll be starting soon.

You witch!

There's no judging at gala concerts, so we can just sit back and enjoy ourselves.

With the level of talent here, we can enjoy each performance just as much as anyone else.

Now, then. Is it almost time for my favorite?

Miyazono Kaori

Sumiya Junior High

Pianist: Arima Kousei

F. Kreisler Love's Sorrow

Past Accolades: N/A

What does she think she's doing?!

The violinist a no-show?! That's just insane!

Who is she, Michelangeli?! Pogorelich?!

The show's started.

Is Kao not here yet?

Is Miyazono Kaori this unpredictable?

I've been calling her cell phone, but she won't pick up.

This is serious. I can't...

Let's go in and get prepared.

We'll be ready for her whenever she shows up.

Please keep calling Miyazono's phone.

Yes, ma'am!

I'm counting on you.

Ma'am!

Good luck!

What should we do?

I'll go ask if they'll move you guys down the list.

It's only a gala concert, so they might be a little more flexible.

As long as we can get the performers to agree,

we can wait on Miyazono till the last possible second.

Why...

If that doesn't pan out, we'll just have to forget it.

Yeah, I guess so.

But why?

What will you do?

This is the piece I wanna play!

Weren't you looking forward to this?

I was an idiot for getting carried away.

It's almost Miyazono Kaori's turn.

I wonder what's in store this time!

It's been a while since I've felt this excited.

That's unacceptable!

Please!

She's on a bus heading here right now!

Be that as it may, I don't have the authority to...

What's going on?

Miike?

Miike? He's the final act of the junior high division, right?

Yes, since he won the competition.

Nice timing!

Sorry, but could you let them play after you?

Our violinist's running late.

Running late?

Her name's Miyazono Kaori.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

Do you think you could let her play after you?

Miyazono's playing too, right?

I'm so excited!

Absolutely not.

The starring role of this concert's final act...

belongs to me.

Well, of course it does.

It's your moment of triumph, after all.

We only have ourselves to blame.

I apologize for being so presumptuous.

Looks like we're going to have to withdraw.

Yeah.

A-Anyway, it's her own fault for being late on a day like this.

Her playing's such a mess— it's no wonder her lifestyle's so chaotic too.

She thinks she's special just because an audience kind of liked her, so she shows up late like it's nothing.

You don't have to go that far...

But am I wrong?!

The music is written in the score.

What she produces is disastrous.

It's not even music!

Who do you think you are, you little brat?!

All right, then.

Sorry for disturbing you before your performance.

Hey, Kousei!

Aren't you pissed at all?

He insulted your partner!

Let's go by the program.

The final act of the junior high division is yours, Miike.

However...

The spotlight!

Today's spotlight belongs to us.

The promoters' choice for the junior high division, Ms. Miyazono Kaori.

Here she comes!

At last.

It's Miyazono.

She got here in time?

It's Miyazono Kaori!

Huh?

Isn't he the accompanist?

Where's the violinist?

Where's Miyazono?

Arima, surely you're not playing alone?

Unprecedented!

Kousei...
