Original subtitles

A band

is supposed to perform in front of people, right?

Not as expressive as the others?

I invited you to join the band

just because I was

so moved by your singing!

Ever since the day that I met you,

my world's been spinning out of control.

Ritsuka, rise and shine!

Hey, Ritsuka! Do you hear me?

Breakfast time!

What is it?

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Hey,

look the way you dress.

Shut up.

Come down already!

Class dismissed.

Uenoyama.

Let’s go have lunch.

Hey, Uenoyama!

I’ll go wake him up.

Eh?

Uenoyama.

It’s time for lunch!

I think Kasai is into Uenoyama.

Hey!

I can see that.

Hey!

Get up!

Is Uenoyama there?

Oh.

He’ll be soon taken away by Kasai.

It’s time for lunch!

Hey!

Uenoyama.

Shall we go play guitar?

Oh.

He’ll teach guitar today.

Then let’s go without him.

Have fun!

Sorry.

Let’s go.

Kasai.

Let’s go.

Hmm.

I really don’t understand boys.

Are they dating or what?

Satou?

It can’t be.

Satou was my middle school classmate.

Yeah?

Rumor says

that he once dated a boy.

What?

=Given=

(Play upbeat American rock music by strumming)

Today I want you to grasp this skill.

Now that you are in our band, you need to learn more.

I won’t go easy on you anymore.

So, today…

Say, Uenoyama…

you’ve been working on something recently, right?

What?

I saw you were writing a song.

Oh!

I’m composing a song for you.

Eh?

A song.

I’m trying to compose a song

to go along with the tidbit you hummed,

see if I can come up with something new.

You remember it?

Of course.

So amazing!

But it’s not complete yet.

You need to learn that today.

You can’t play this

until you learn how to do that.

Let’s begin.

Here.

Next month

we’ll have a live show.

I want

to turn a piece of music into a song.

What do you think?

Well,

I know our band mostly plays instruments,

but since it’s our first live show…

Are you listening?

Done!

Dig in!

Great!

You are not at all!

Here.

Oh, thanks!

Yum!

The beer is good!

Don’t drink too much.

Uh-oh.

I rode my motorbike today.

Can I bunk up with you tonight?

Huh?

- When everything goes well… - Excuse me! Excuse me!

- the time usually seems to go by quickly. - Another beer, please! - More? Are you sure?

I’ll be fine!

Sorry to bother you!

Turns out

you drank a lot, too!

So tired!

Akihiko,

get a blanket and go to bed.

Oh.

Too much trouble.

(Art Room)

I want you to work in pairs

and sketch each other’s portraits within the time required.

What?

What’s that reaction about?

Go get your boards!

Come on!

Time is ticking!

Uenoyama,

would you like to work with me?

Sure.

Yes!

Hey.

Yes?

It might sound weird, but can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

Is Satou in love with you?

Huh?

What do you mean by that?

I mean what I mean.

Hmm…

I’d say he doesn’t hate me.

You know,

it’s said…

Yeah?

Satou once dated a boy in middle school.

Huh?

And that boy suddenly committed suicide last year.

It seems that his suicide

had something to do with Satou.

Uenoyama,

don’t you think it’s a little dangerous to get involved with Satou?

Feels like the fast-spinning world

stopped all of a sudden.

Hey! Hey!

- Uenoyama! Look! - What are you laughing about?

This… This is the portrait that Ueki drew!

Stop it!

Isn’t it just awesome?

Look!

Stop!

I can’t help, seriously!

I can’t!

Guys, look at this!

Look!

Cut it out!

What is that?

Itaya!

Wait! Wait!

Hey…

Come on! The teacher is upset!

You think your drawing is better?

Itaya!

Are you kidding?

I’m not.

I didn’t do anything wrong.

Itaya!

Stop it!

I’m sorry!

It’s his fault.

- It’s his problem. - He’s not wrong.

He did his best.

For what?

I shouldn’t have asked you that last question.

The thing about him dating a boy is just hearsay.

I don’t know if it’s true.

I see.

Thank you.

But

I’m sure that Satou’s childhood friend is dead.

I heard that the boy named Yoshida Yuki is dead.

Yuki.

Is this Yuki’s guitar?

Hey, are you okay?

I’m not feeling well.

What is it?

I feel like throwing up.

Mafuyu.

Yes?

Your friend is here.

Yo.

Relax.

I’m not here to blame you.

This is the first time

we’ve talked since the funeral, yeah?

Hmm.

As I thought, you started playing music.

Is that Yuki’s guitar?

This one.

His mother gave it to me.

Oh.

After all, his parents knew about your relationship.

Did you see her afterwards?

I told her you started playing music.

She was thrilled.

Yeah?

But

I don’t know whether you play music to move on

or

you are still hung up on the past.

There’s only a thin line between the two.

You are doing it again.

So why do you play music?

I’m not sure.

“Satou once dated a boy in middle school.

And that boy

suddenly committed suicide last year.”

I’m home!

Sorry to interrupt.

Welcome back!

Akihiko is here to see you.

Oh.

I have something to show you.

It’s the song you composed.

It’s really nice.

And Mafuyu’s voice goes very well with it.

I added drum beats and made a demo.

Eh?

Mafuyu has

a beautiful and deep voice.

And

not only that,

his singing

conveys a powerful feeling.

It sounds like a scream but much more than that!

I so understand!

Eh?

What is that exactly?

Whenever I hear that voice,

I…

I’d get excited.

Oh.

How do I put this? Should I say it stirs

up my emotions

or makes me feel like a badass!

Anyway, it’s some sort of unsettling feeling.

Gee!

Did I scare you?

I’m sorry.

I wanna smoke.

No smoking in our house.

Got you!

Now that the composition is done,

you can ask Mafuyu to write the lyrics.

It’s got to be him.

I think so, too.

Good! Let’s take a break.

Okay.

Mafuyu.

About the tune you hummed before…

Yes?

I want you

to write lyrics.

I can’t do it.

What?

I don’t think I can do it.

Don’t give up so soon!

Of course you can!

Listen, just do it!

You can include your hesitation in it

and express your feelings with words.

I’m not good at that.

Do it!

I…

want to play your song.

Good luck!

But

what should I write about?

Anything goes.

That’s the worst advice ever.

Huh?

There’s got to be something.

Like the things you wanna do.

Or the butterflies in your stomach.

Butterflies in stomach?

In other word,

your experience in love, or something like that.

That’d be a perfect theme, don’t you think?

Huh?

What is it?

Come here!

What’s wrong?

Hey.

Stop talking.

Why?

Good job!

You, too!

Well,

I’m sorry about earlier.

I didn’t bring up that topic on purpose.

No.

Don’t worry about it.

But,

it’s such a pity that you can’t sing

a song about love.

Oh,

I’m sorry.

Mr. Haruki.

Are you in love with someone?

I…

About that…

If

that person suddenly disappeared from this world,

what would you say?

You’d say you are sad,

lonely,

or you miss that person?

Well…

I’m not sure what I’d say.

Neither am I.

See you.

Good job today!

That’s…

Yeah!

Come on!

Today

is the most important day of this year to me!

What are you talking about?

It’s just a basketball skills competition.

Just?

We’ve trained for so long sacrificing our lunch break time.

It’s true.

Wow, nice!

Well,

he fell asleep again.

Uenoyama.

What?

We still have some time before the competition.

You can find a quiet place and take a nap.

I’ll call you when it’s our turn.

Oh.

Thank you!

Hi.

Are you here to take a nap?

Yep.

I need to recharge before the competition.

I came to the wrong place.

Honestly, I don’t want to be alone with him right now.

Uenoyama.

Can I say something?

If you are tired,

you don’t have to respond.

I’ll do my best

to write the lyrics.

I was

once in love with somebody.

And I still don’t know how to express my feelings.

Although

I do have something to say.

Are you asleep?

Sorry.

In love with somebody…

Ah…

This is what jealousy feels like!

(Next on Given) You

have not improved a bit!

Would you like to say it out loud

or escape the reality through words?

You don’t know how gentle you are.

You’ll

be addicted to Mafuyu’s voice.

Don’t tell me

you’ve taken actions already.

What?
