Koyuki-chan?

Why...

Uh... No, this isn't...

Wait, Akitsuki!

"Fuuka"

A promise that's lost its realism fades in your words

My shadow moves separately from the crowd

I only watch them pulsing, with no intention of matching their stride

I have no connection to them at all

These repeating days I've grown sick of hearing

(Even though I renew myself so they won't leave me behind)

The irritation of not blending in looms closer

Inside this box, my heart is wearing down

If it's going to be erased,

I'll just have to smash open that square sky and be prepared to burn up

Let's cloak our hearts in a hot breeze and race up there

Rip apart the chains holding us down and set our incomplete selves free

Until the very last moment, we'll feel a climber's high!

May this dream of steel that no one can break

Reach out to the ends of the world

"Beach House"

"Beach House" "#4 Live!"

"#4 Live!"

What happened, Fuuka?

You're soaked!

It was raining harder than I thought.

I took an umbrella, but still ended up like this!

I see...

Well, you should get changed.

Yeah.

Oh, by the way, where's Yuu-kun?

Couldn't find him.

Um... Tama-chan?

I'm sorry... I slipped.

Was that girl the one you're starting a band with?

Well, yeah...

I guess that gave her the wrong idea.

We're just... friends, after all, aren't we?

"Beach House"

Akitsuki definitely got the wrong idea.

Akitsuki!

Listen, about last night...

Sorry for getting in your way.

I won't tell anyone.

Wait!

I think you're mistaken!

About what?

Tam--

Koyuki-chan and I are just friends.

Then why didn't you tell me?

I just... never found the right time to say it.

You had plenty of chances!

Like when we saw the movie, or when we went to her concert!

Forget it!

Akitsuki!

Hey, what's going on?

Teen drama?

Hello?

You listening, "Teen Drama"?

Excuse me!

Can I order?

Aki--

What's with her?

And for the guitar...

First we should decide who's playing what.

Oh, right!

You're getting ahead of yourself, Fuuka.

I wasn't thinking!

"Beach House"

Looks like we're past the peak busy hours.

Looks like it.

This is getting easier now.

Easier?

That's big talk!

Okay, tomorrow you'll work even harder than today!

Thanks for dinner.

Uh, sure...

Something happened between you and Yuu-kun, huh?

N-No, nothing.

You can't hide it.

I can tell just looking at you two.

What happened?

Just... a little fight.

Ow!

Akitsuki, that aga--

Sorry!

What are you doing?

I couldn't help it!

Let's go play, Yuu-kun!

I can't let this go on.

Akitsuki!

Wh-What?

I'm s o rry!

I wanted to apologize to you.

Koyuki-chan and I were friends when we were kids,

and we just reconnected on Twitter recently.

But she was using a private account, so I couldn't tell a stranger...

Stranger?

It happens all the time, right?

Someone leaks a celeb's private account and they get spammed...

I guess you wouldn't know since you don't have a smartphone, huh?

Do you know what "spammed" means? It's when you get bombarded online.

I mean, you don't use Twitter, so you don't get this stuff, right?

So it's dangerous to--

So you thought if you told me, a stranger,

I'd freak out and blab to everyone?

Er... No, it's not that!

Spreading Twitter stuff is just--

Don't make fun of me!

Why did it turn out like this?

Why did it turn out like this?

"Beach House" "Extra Large Summer Servings"

Hey, everyone! Working hard?

Tomomi-sensei?

And Nachi-senpai

I came to see how you're doing!

Come back to Tokyo and join the track team!

There's still time!

This again?

Why are you even here, Nachi-senpai?

Tomomi-sensei told me at school that you guys were working here.

So I made her bring me here!

Do you have nothing better to do?

What?!

Maybe I shouldn't have told him about the summer job...

The way things are looking, probably not.

Haruna, you think Fuuka should join the track team, right?

Er... W-Waell...

You shouldn't put pressure on her.

Forcing someone to do something they don't want to won't yield good results.

You agree, don't you, Yuu-kun?

Uh...

Just give it a rest already!

I've decided that I'm gonna make music!

We'll be an awesome band like HEDGEHOGS!

Aww, hearing you say "awesome" kinda makes me blush.

Huh?

Why would that make you blush?

Well, didn't you notice?

Um...

Huh? Wait!

A-Aren't you...

The HEDGEHOGS guitarist, Hisa?!

Ah, you figured it out?

That's right!

And I'm...

Their manager?

I'm the keyboardist, Tomo!

Huh? Huh?

And Yassan is our drummer.

What?!

Why didn't you tell me before?!

Well, I wanted to surprise you...

There was no reason to come out and say it, anyway.

Why didn't I notice?

We've all gotten older, so we look different now.

Yassan's just an old man already.

Shut up.

If I'd known, I could've asked you way more questions!

I'm a huge HEDGEHOGS fan!

S-Soam I!

I listen to your CD every day!

So do I!

Th-Thanks...

Anyway, where are your vocalist, Tama, and the bassist, Nico?

Those two disappeared.

Huh?

Tama just left without a word.

And Nico took off to look for her.

I see...

That's the reason we're on hiatus now.

Well, they've been gone a while this time,

but they'll come back eventually.

Hey, Yassan, when we get back to Tokyo, teach us music!

We'll do our best to be like HEDGEHOGS!

That's kinda out of the blue...

Hang on, Fuuka!

What's your problem?

I've heard enough of this.

Do you really think it's that easy to become a pro?

Well...

Of course I don't think it's easy, but...

Listen to me! The track team is a much better fit for you!

You can't say for sure that you have musical talent, right?!

She does!

Akitsuki's singing...

...is really good.

You...

Okay, then, why don't we test her?

Jeez, what a pain.

Oh, it's fine.

Testing her in front of the pros with one of their own songs...

No way she can handle that.

Once they give her a harsh review,

you won't try to encourage her again, right?

But...

If it's Akitsuki...

Haruna, come here a sec.

Okay.

This was Nico's.

You play it this time.

What?

But I've never even touched a bass before...

No one's expecting a beginner to play it exactly right.

All you have to do is hold down these two strings in time with the song.

And this one during the chorus.

Here.

Try it with this.

Um...

No, that's upside-down.

Yuu-kun.

Do you have a second?

Um...

What is it?

Are you still fighting with Fuuka?

W-Waell...

Did you try talking to her?

I want to, but it never comes out right.

I think you're both letting your pride get in the way.

You want to make up, don't you?

Yeah.

When I'm fighting with Akitsuki,

I can't enjoy my work,

and the hours seem so much longer.

When I eat, it feels like I'm choking,

and nothing tastes good.

Even being out by the sea just feels lonely, not fun.

I think I'm just no good

if Akitsuki's not there with me, smiling.

So...

I want to make up.

Then you should have just told her that.

Right, Fuuka?

Huh?

Huh?! Wh-Why...

Fuuka felt the same way as you.

She said she didn't know how to apologize to you.

You two can handle it on your own from here, right?

Wait... Mikasa!

I think I blurted out way more than I should have.

"I'm just no good if Akitsuki's not there with me, smiling"?

What was that, a confession?!

Stupid.

I'm sorry.

Uh, no...

I'm sorry.

Thanks... for taking my side earlier.

The bass suits you, Yuu-kun!

You look cool!

Y-You think so?

I'll sing the best I can.

Well, looks like she's got the presence.

Let's do this.

What is this?

Is some event going on?

Wh-When did...

That felt so amazing!

So how was my singing?

Well, it's still pretty rough and sloppy...

But you've got potential.

Hear that, Senpai?! I got a pro's approval!

Do whatever you want.

You won't get my approval, though.

You say that,

but you were tapping along with the rhythm.

Really?!

N-No!

It's just a habit from when my brother used to make me play drums for his band!

Huh?

Okay, Nachi-senpai, you'll be the drummer in our band!

What?

Makoto-kun will be the keyboardist, and of course, Yuu-kun will be our bassist!

Huh?!

I'll also play guitar! Our band is complete!

Hang on! Don't decide that for me!

When we get back to Tokyo,

- -Wow, that girl's really amazing. - -we'll get our instruments and start practicing!

It was like Tama herself was here.

You could've been a little nicer to her.

Idiot. That'd just give her a big head.

Besides, can a bunch of newbies like that really be a band?

Just one person is all it takes to make a band successful.

One person...

...of overwhelming genius.

"The Admiral (Yamato): Invite me to your concert, Yuu-san!" "Yuu: Summer job at the beach ends tomorrow! Been raising money to buy instruments and start a band!"

"Yuu: It's way too soon to think about concerts (lol)" "The Admiral (Yamato): Invite me to your concert, Yuu-san!"

Oh, Yuu-kun.

What are you doing?

Since we're done working here,

I wanted a better look at the stars before we leave.

Wow...

Are you okay?

You must be cold dressed like that.

Yuu-kun, give me half of that.

Huh? Wha--

Yeah.

Now I'm warm.

Going to post it on Twitter?

No, I changed my mind.

It wouldn't look the same.

See? Nothing but black.

You're right!

Can't do anything with that, I guess!

W-We should head back.

Uh, this... wasn't on purpose...

Jerk!

I felt like even the sky that had shone with summer colors had grown dull

Before I knew it, even the things important to me had been tucked away

I pretended not to notice, but you already saw through me

Your words started to give color to my world

After I take a deep breath, figure out my goal, and resolve myself

I start running now, pulled by your hand

I'll catch the wind with these wings I got from you

I'm sure we'll be able to fly high anywhere together

The trajectory of our shared feelings heads toward tomorrow

I want to keep chasing this dream forever

Ah... Ah...

Feels like it's been forever since I've been home.

I got souvenirs, so Chitose and Hibiki shouldn't complain.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome back, Nico-kun.

Tama-chan?

"Next Time: One of Us!"
