That's why I was asking you to face reality!

You didn't write the lyrics, did you?

What's wrong?

Hurry to the store and buy some new strings!

Don't give me that “it's the end of the world” face!

If the string is broken, then fix it!

I'll be right back!

I was the one who asked him to sing!

He may be hard to read,

but he's been trying hard to please me.

Sorry! Sorry!

Excuse me! Sorry!

He's inside.

Okay.

That was quick.

I've asked the bands before us to play a couple of more songs.

Take your time and fix it.

Thank you!

Anyway,

you've got to chill before we get on the stage.

That hurts.

I got you.

Then

I'll go give them the updated setlist.

I'll go with you!

Hey.

Mafuyu.

Will you let me change your strings?

I think a human heart is similar to these strings.

When the pain

is too much to bear,

it'd feel like a certain string

laid across your chest is about to snap.

Sometimes,

it'd really snap,

and you'd think it can

never be fixed again.

But

if there's someone who can replace the string for him like this,

it may also fix the broken string in his heart.

That's the way I think at least.

All fixed!

Thank you!

Mafuyu,

I

like your voice.

I thought I was the one who's been pushing you forward,

but before I realized it,

you've become my drive.

Ever since you showed up, my music

has turned

into shattered

and disconnected pieces.

Compared to repeating the same tune over and over,

this makes me more excited.

Ugh.

What is it?

I have no idea what I'm trying to say.

It's not like that.

It's not like that.

=Given=

Thanks, guys!

Let's go get some beverage.

Okay.

Akihiko, you've got stage fright, haven't you?

Cut it out! That's not true.

I'm totally fine.

Oops.

They forgot to take the mic away.

But it doesn't matter. We'll need it anyway.

I thought we were not singing.

Or are we going with the “Lalala” thing?

“Lalala.”

Hey.

What are you thinking?

You look like

you are spacing out.

Now,

pull yourself together.

Emm.

Uenoyama,

do you feel like yourself now?

Me?

I...

wasn't myself

when I broke the string.

That's true.

Anyway, it's a little too late to think about the things

that you can't do.

Good!

Listen.

What are you doing?

Let's go have some fun!

Let's!

Alright!

Mafuyu.

It's show time!

Rock it!

I'm always

bad at giving

a proper response.

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

Like crying

or laughing,

I just can't do it right.

I think I'm really not

as expressive as the others.

I

can't live

without you.

Mafuyu.

So,

are you willing to die for me?

But…

In fact…

So handsome!

Get ready.

Hold on!

What?

I've been…

I've always been…

♪Don't leave♪

♪Don't let go♪

♪Please keep smiling in my heart♪

♪Don't stop♪

♪Don't end♪

♪The Melody Lane that'll never go away♪

Unable to cry out loud.

And it hurts so bad.

I've always hoped that someone could understand my feelings,

even just a little bit.

♪I dreamt of the past♪

♪It felt like yesterday♪

♪But it happened long time ago♪

♪In the cold days♪

♪I can still hear that humming echo in the air♪

♪You stood on the beach♪

♪Your attractive profile♪

♪Looked so innocent♪

♪No words can describe it♪

♪When I recall the past♪

♪I can't help asking myself♪

♪Even though I can't go back anymore♪

♪Don't leave♪

♪Don't let go♪

♪I can still feel your warm touch♪

♪I still remember it♪

♪Don't stop♪

♪Don't end♪

♪The song that was unfinished♪

♪Is being played right now♪

♪The Melody Lane that'll never go away♪

I love it!

♪It melted away as time went by♪

♪Paving a memory lane for both of us♪

♪Though it fell apart shortly♪

♪Either the promise or the laughter♪

♪It ended up a joke♪

♪I regret the words I said to you at last♪

♪Don't leave♪

♪Don't let go♪

♪I can still feel your warm touch♪

♪I'll never forget it♪

♪The memory of that time♪

♪The words of that time♪

♪The second part of the unfinished song♪

♪Let me pick up where you left off♪

♪The street without you♪

♪The tomorrow without you♪

♪Let the Melody Lane continue♪

The heart is like the strings.

They can't make a sound

when they are too loose.

Only when you tighten them up to the point that they are about to snap

can they burst out that amazing sound.

I wanna cry.

Incredible!

You guys are awesome!

Bravo! Bravo!

He's quite gifted after all!

Thank you for guiding me

all the way!

Thank you!

You've done very well!

I'll go play another song.

Thank you for waiting!

The guitarist is back.

Next we'll play some of our old songs.

When I first got on the stage,

I didn't play well and I had stage fright.

It was such a mess.

Even so,

I felt so excited.

I can't believe I forgot

that simple joy.

What an amazing show!

It was wonderful!

I'm glad I didn't miss it!

Hey.

Yuki

knew you loved music,

so he started

writing songs for you.

But

you'd rather he ask you

to write the songs together with him

than write them for you, right?

Hey.

How was my show?

Not good.

You were like all thumbs!

Really?

I…

I am…

Falling in love again.

That's lovely, isn't it?

Keep up the good work.

Will you come and cheer me up?

That's a lot to ask.

I guess.
