You…

didn't join the light music club?

I did.

So why are you here again?

Because you are

much cooler.

So,

please teach me more skills!

Let's start from here,

the space between the two pickups.

Hmm.

As for chords,

just remember a few for now.

As long as you know how they sound, it would be fine.

Try to play the G chord

I just taught you.

Hmm.

In the beginning, let me see…

you should try to play an entire song,

and it doesn't matter what song it is.

Start from the intro,

and then move on to the A part.

Hmm.

Hey,

all you've saying is “Hmm.”

Are you even listening to me?

Hmm.

This won't work.

Let's take a break.

We are back.

Good!

You look like a guitarist already!

Tell me about it.

Mafuyu.

Yes.

If you are serious about playing music,

there's one thing you absolutely need.

Oh, you mean that!

Yes. That.

True.

I'd go crazy if I don't have…

that.

What's “that”?

This is…

money!

The money rules all in this world.

From venue fees to studio fees…

Playing in a band

needs tons of money.

So

you need to find a part-time job from the magazines.

Come on.

What will you choose?

Which one looks good?

(Music Room 2)

Here,

you need to pluck the strings like this.

That's right.

Keep plucking like this.

Mafuyu is learning much faster than I expected.

Good.

And he's got excellent guitar hearing.

Switch your fingers.

Seeing him making progress,

I feel very happy.

But

he still looks mysterious to me,

and I still don't know why he wants to learn guitar.

What do you think?

Not bad.

Say…

What?

The guitar you are using

was an old one from your father or someone else, right?

Because

beginners seldom use

such a luxury guitar like Gibson.

No.

It's not an old guitar.

And I don't have a father.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

Sorry!

Then tell me,

do you have a favorite song

or type of music?

You've got to have one.

No?

I don't know.

But

I'm not sure if it's my favorite,

there's always a melody in my mind.

In your mind?

Hmm.

What song?

I don't know the name.

Let me think…

It goes like this…

At that moment,

even the air was…

So?

trembling.

=Given= =Episode 2=

Can you get off?

Thanks.

How long will you practice?

I'm not sure.

Call me when you have time.

Haruki.

Oh!

I'll see you later then.

Eh?

You have work to do, don't you?

Bye!

Hmm.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you see Uenoyama's message?

What is it?

Oh.

He wants Mafuyu to join our band.

I didn't expect it'd happen this quickly.

I think we should wait till he plays better.

Yep.

So do I.

So I asked him why the rush.

You did?

You know Uenoyama thinks highly of him

and you still asked?

It just slipped.

What did he say?

“You'll understand when you hear him.”

That's it.

What does that mean?

I'm confused, too.

Give me a cigarette.

Sure.

I need to clean the floor.

Move.

What's wrong?

You've been acting weird.

He's the weird one.

Who?

Do you know Satou?

Yes.

From the class next door.

Right.

I invited him to join our band.

Eh?

Really?

Would you

like to join our band?

No.

Huh?

You mean

you never thought he'd reject you,

right?

What are you doing?

Wait!

Calm! Calm down!

Zip your mouth!

It's dangerous!

Watch it!

It's too dangerous!

You can't get me!

Hey, you guys!

Stop and get back to work!

What was that about?

Forget it. I'm leaving.

Oh.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I don't get it…

It cracks me up!

What was he thinking?

Haruki.

- I feel sorry for you! - Haruki, stop it.

He's been rejected.

Hey.

Ah, I can't believe it!

Fine!

So,

he didn't even show up today for practice?

Yes. Looks like it.

Eh?

He has a job interview today.

How did you know?

Come on.

What do you mean “how”?

We texted each other.

Uh-oh.

Don't tell me you don't even have his Line or Email.

Oh.

I don't know.

Turns out

he's just doing what you asked him to do.

He wants to play music, so he has to find a job.

Uenoyama,

have you asked Mafuyu why he rejected you?

Huh?

You were so surprised

that he rejected you,

so did you ask him why?

And have you asked him for his contact information?

You need to communicate with him.

Communication is important in music.

Sometimes I'm really

worried about you on that point.

Sorry.

See you.

Do you think

I went too far?

You've got to hang in there.

You are like their big brother.

You need to communicate with him.

Sometimes I'm really

worried about you on that point.

Uenoyama.

Mafuyu.

I've heard.

Of what?

You had a job interview.

Yes.

Right?

How did it go?

I'll start next week.

Really?

Yes.

Say…

Yes?

I mean…

What is it?

Um…

Why

did you reject…

Mafuyu!

It's really you!

What have you been up to?

I haven't heard from you for a long time!

What's going on? Do you know him?

Hey.

What…

What is it that you are carrying?

Is it Yuki's guitar?

Are you playing music now?

Huh?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Wait!

Mafuyu!

I'm always

bad at giving a proper response.

Hey!

I have a hard time doing the things that others can easily do.

Like crying

or laughing,

I just can't do it right.

Mafuyu!

Will you listen to me?

Hey.

Are…

Are you okay?

So,

who was that guy?

And who's Yuki?

You don't wanna tell me?

Is this person the reason you don't want

to join the band?

It has nothing to do with this.

Then why exactly?

A band

is supposed to perform in front of people, right?

I'm often

told that my mind is blank.

I sometimes even think

they are right.

I'm not

as expressive as the others.

That's why…

That's why I don't think I can join.

What are you talking about?

Are you…

Are you an idiot?

Are you questioning my judgment?

There's no way that your mind is blank!

Not expressive…

I invited you to join the band

just because I was

so moved by your singing!

Mafuyu,

please sing that again for me!

The song…

I also like that song.

Ever since the day that I met you,

my world's been spinning out of control.

This

is completely unexpected to me.

♪Walking at dusk after school♪

♪The song has just been played♪

♪I'm all by myself♪

♪Yet I hear your voice in my ear♪

♪Shake my head♪

♪The forgotten view♪

♪The lost passion♪

♪Like the flower blooming down the ocean♪

♪I met you♪

♪The story began♪

♪Ignore those ignorant people♪

♪Strange day♪

♪Make us strange feeling♪

♪Shake my head♪

♪The forgotten view♪

♪The lost passion♪

♪Like a thorn stabbing into my heart♪

♪I met you♪

♪The story began♪

♪Ignore those ignorant people♪

♪The forgotten view♪

♪The lost passion♪

(Next on Given) What happened?

I got so excited when I heard that voice.

I heard that his suicide

had something to do with Satou.

You will write

the lyrics for that song, right?

Can you?

No. You've got to do it.

I am

falling in love with someone.
