Movie Given Hiiragi Mix. (2024) Movie Script
I've checked out the scope of the midterm test.
Mafuyu, did you take up alot of slots
for your part time during spring break?
Not yet, slotting them in for now
What about you, Uenoyama-kun?
Me too.
Would you like some studio time?
Yeah.
We can go look at some effectors again too.
Yeah.
Everyone, take one piece of origami paper at a time.
This one! Me too!
It's not a race.
If you want a specific color,
ask nicely for them to swap it with you.
I want silver.
You're always taking the silver, it's unfair!
Why? It's not!
I want silver too.
Huh? Shizusumi-kun, you took the same color again?
Don't you want gold like the others?
It's fine, I have a piece.
I don't need it.
What? You've never gotten the gold color?
Mafuyu...
Is that guy here?
Hiiragi?
Shizu-chan too?
Like I've said, Mafuyu is like a little brother
to me rather than a childhood friend!
So?
So, I'm saying I know about Mafuyu a 100 times more than you!
Oh? What does that have to do with knowing someone longer?
Besides, Mafuyu said that you're like his little sister.
I'll kill him!
And so, what does that have to do
with you missing the note just now?
I'm saying that you're not matching up with me is
because you've got a problem dealing with other people!
In the first place, you think I had the beat correct too!
Right, Shizu ?!
Yeah.
Take a little more interest in me!
Shut up! Quit bitching on every single thing!
Wgat does that gotta do with Mafuyu?!
It pisses me off you acting like a boyfriend when
you can't even get along with other people!
Then you try matching with me!
YOU try to be more considerate of me!
Why should I?!
Uenoyama-kun, it's time to go.
Both of you, stop fighting.
We're not.
We have to go to the Given studio next.
Well then, I'll see you the day after. Good work.
Good work!!
G'job.
Argh !!! I just can't stand him personality-wise!
What's with that "I am above everyone else" attitude ?!!
Disliking people similar to oneself.
We're totally incompatible !!
I hate those who think the world revolves around them!
Disliking people similar to oneself.
Does the sound not match at all?
Nah, when it does match, we sync perfectly.
So they do sync.
Then why did you accept to being Hiiragi's support?
Why ... Well, that's because ...
They were cooler than I thought.
I hated those that go with the trend.
Or so I thought.
Not only their music sounded good,
it just imprinted itself into my head.
It felt better than I've imagined.
It was just simply good.
In the autumn of 2nd year high school, they
won at CAC and were about to debut ...
... when their supporting guitarist left.
When they were thinking of how to fill in
the hole, the target of their arrow was ...
ME??!!
It's just until we find the next guitarist.
Just for the in-between, a time limited thing.
For two live shows.
If your guitarist quit, you can just skip having lives for now.
Of course we're doing it! I want to enhance our reputation.
Then why me?
Because at CAC, when I saw your show,
I thought of teaming up with you.
Anyways, what are you guys doing here today?
Are you that confident?
Or because you're high schoolers, you wanna party at lives?
Anyway, I'm asking you.
Besides, there's something I want to try with you.
In the end, the reason why I accepted being
their supporting guitarist is because ...
I don't want vauge sensations.
It seems like it'll be a lot of fun.
Media from the other side,
Yeah, that's it.
In conclusion, Hiiragi has a charm that attracts people.
dismantled and reassebled.
Generally the same ideas.
This voice piercing through now.
Remember those memories from that time.
On a piece of drawing paper,
where we could draw anything.
Create an uproar so that now doesn't fade.
It's the end of paper filled hopes.
I will keep singing until it reaches you.
Um, please have these.
Gifts? Thanks!
Oh, is it alright to accept all these?
Yes, please use them!
Can we get a pic?
A picture, sure!
Hey, Uenoyama!
Haruki-san and Big Sis!
Hey there!
Why? Eh, both of you?
We met at the entrance.
We're invited as guests because we
helped them shoot their MV last time.
Oh... Where's Take-san?
Working overtime.
What about you? Where's that kid that looks like a Pomeranian?
Ah, Mafuyu? He's part-timing today.
Well then, I'll just greet everyone and go home.
For now, great job for the show!
You were really cool!
Thanks!
You're not together with Kaji-san today?
He's busy prepping something for his violin.
We're all doing our separate things lately.
Next, can we take a pic with this guy too?
Sure, sure!
Thanks!
Shouldn't you go over there too?
It's okay.
I just can't keep up with Hiiragi's socializing side.
Oh, Matsumura-san! You came! Thanks!
Sure, Hiiragi is very charming and fun but
I would like our own band to be recognized more.
I'm envious of him and I get sick of it.
Uh, about that ...
Actually, there's talk of debuting for Given ...
... from a recording company.
Eh?
Um, they contacted me today.
EHHH !!! DEBUT ??!
Ah, wait!
To be precise, it's not that we can debut but
more like whether if we would like to debut.
It's from someone that gave me their name card at CAC.
Asking that if we would like to debut
and to contact them eventually.
It's not like there's anything confirmed though.
What did you reply?
I haven't replied to them. I've only told you so far.
Oh, they are a big shot. Isn't that great?
You were listening?!
You were the one who shouted "debut" in a loud voice.
You should be more aware of your surroundings.
Wha-?!
I'll talk about it with Akihiko so you talk to Mafuyu too.
About your future path after graduating and about
how far you guys would like to pursue music.
I'll forward the mail to you later.
Yell then, see ya.
Future path?
Huh? What's with that "I've never thought about it" face?
I've thought about it. I've thought about it before but ...
Hey, it's about time.
Okay
Hiiragi, what about you!
Did you struggle about it? On how to live life from now.
Not really.
Besides, a possibility has arisen. Be more happy about it.
Be more happy? Sure there's a tingling feeling in my stomach.
We did not make it at CAC. I was
jealous for Hiiragi being able to debut.
And now, my heart is pounding like hell.
Seriously, isn't this incredible ?!
Oh, I know that person. He's Mafuyu-senpai.
Ah, the one in the band.
Is he famous?
Didn't he joined a fes or something?
Really? I want a pic!
Hey, Mafuyu!
Uenoyama is calling you.
De .. but?
Haruki-san was asking whether if you're thinking of that.
Whether if you are planning to continue pursuing music and also ...
.. about what you're planning to do in the future.
Honestly, I'm really happy.
Do you want to try challenging it?
Eh?
I'll think about it later.
What do you mean 'later'?
Sorry, we'll talk about it next time.
Mafuyu, hey!
Eh ?! Why ??!! Eh ??!!!
Uenoyama, we need to change classrooms next.
Hey, Hiiragi, you're going back already?
What, work again?
Yup. Did you see Shizu?
Shizusumi? He said he was going to skip classes at the infirmary.
Shizu.
Let's go home.
Hey!
Shut up, you're really noisy.
It's boring. Let's go to the studio.
Going to the studio every day, what are you planning to do?
Make new demos.
Hiiragi, what about you?
Did you struggle about it?
Is he stupid or what?
After Yuki died, I've decided on how I
want to live when reforming the band.
And by doing this, I can tie Shizusumi's
life to mine for a little longer.
Shizusumi always has this look like he
has no interest in my life whatsoever.
But he still follows me until the end.
He seems like he's not listening but
he still says the things I want to hear.
When I said "Let's form a band," he somewhat came along.
Even when I couldn't contact Mafuyu anymore ...
You should go back to your own place.
Don't wanna. Even if I go back, there's no one there.
Hey.
Hurry up and get in, it's cold.
Shizusumi is sometimes kind.
Up until lately, I was happy with only that.
Perhaps ... Just perhaps ...
No, not perhaps but I actually really like Shizusumi, maybe ?!!
Stop. It's hot.
This is because Mafuyu said things like
hurry up and get together with Shizu.
Eventhough he's such a blockhead, I really like him.
Uenoyama says he's at the station.
I like like like like like him.
In the first place, he's too handsome.
Are you listening? What's with that face?
He has a great body too. Even though he
was smaller than me last time!
Hiiragi.
Even his aloof voice is great!
Ahh! What should I do? I like him!
Ah, what is it?
Huh, what?
Mafuyu is ...
Mafuyu is really funny!
It's not funny at all.
This is the best thing I've heard all day.
Shut up! Quit laughing!
But you squeezed out every drop of your
courage to invite him to debut professionally ...
... but turned down with a "We'll talk about it next time"?
Thanks for your hard work.
Wait up.
In the first place, why does he back off
every time I invite him to do something ?!
Maybe you're just too persistent?
I'll kill you!
Well, he's the type who thinks things for a long time.
Once he has decided, he will not change his mind
but he will stay quiet until he has his answer.
Because he thinks over it so much, he'll
suddenly start with the conclusion.
I'm going home.
Wait up, my bad!
Besides that, why are we meeting here instead of the studio?
There's something I would like to discuss today.
Discuss?
I've just sent you a sample.
What, do you want to do a new song?
It's not a new song, it's an old song.
I thought I've already received all the songs.
No, there are some that we didn't give to you.
They are songs when Yuki was the vocal.
Yuki is ...
Mafuyu's dead childhood friend.
Have you heard of him before?
Not really, only vaguely.
This band started with Yuki, Shizu and me.
There were songs that were written by the
three of us and some were quite successful.
That's one of them.
What about the songs up till now?
Those that you've played were written by me.
Those written by Yuki, we have not played it since he died.
Wait, why didn't you play them all these while?
I thought I couldn't sing Yuki's songs after he's gone.
Not just because of the sentimental
side of it, I'm just not up to par for it.
I don't understand. Is he that good?
Sorry but I don't think this Yuki guy is better than you.
You don't understand a single thing.
Yuki was an incredibly charismatic person.
My songs are like junk food but Yuki's songs are different.
This sample is half done, both song and lyrics.
Once we've decided on a fixed guitarist, we
won't have the chance to do this anymore.
Before that, I'd like to complete it.
Wait, hang on. I totally don't feel like doing it.
Well yeah, I'd thought you'd say so.
It's hard completing someone's piece.
You've never written lyrics too.
It's fine if you can't do it.
Shut up! I can do that at least dumbass!
For starters, try listening to the sample.
I joined as a supporting guitarist
because I acknowledged Hiiragi's talent.
This is just not making any sense ...
Frankly, I don't feel like doing it at all.
I mean, he was Mafuyu's ex-boyfriend.
Tsk, can't be help.
Maybe Yuki on that night just thought, "Well, I should try this"
and crossed the white line that normal
people would usually not so suddenly.
I still don't understand what Yuki was thinking.
(Shizu-chan, can we meet now?)
You think Uenoyama will do it?
Hey Shizu, are you listening?
Sorry, something came up.
What?
I'll be going that way.
Huh?!
See you tomorrow.
Hey! What thing?! With who?!
That was close, I was nearly tricked!
Bye.
Who are you meeting at this time?! Hey!!
Damn, he's fast.
Mayfuyu ...
Hey ...
Shizu-chan.
Is this about the debut?
You heard?
Yeah, from Uenoyama.
He says you were worried about it.
Rather than being worried about it ...
... It's more like I don't get it.
I didn't think about it at all.
When did you start thinking about it, Shizu-chan?
When I was told by Hiiragi.
We're going professional!
He said that we're going pro and I thought "Oh okay".
In the first place, why are you hesitating?
I don't know.
For me, if Hiiragi says he wants to do it, I'll just go with it.
Because you like Hiiragi?
You are scared, aren't you?
I'm not like you or Yuki.
Even before you two realized your feelings, you
had each other so I doubt you'll understand but ...
I don't have a choice. I can't be picky on how I do things.
I'd be even willing to throw my life away.
You don't even know how good you have it.
If you like Hiiragi that much, why won't you do anything?
That guy ... I think he liked Yuki a little.
Eh?
I don't know what kind of love it was though.
He was captivated by Yuki.
There's something I want to try with you.
He't totally captivated by him.
Even when he first started music. Why do
you think Hiiragi continued playing in a band?
It was like this from before.
Because you were at a closer distance, you didn't
notice it but the four of us revolves around Yuki.
Is that so?
Yes it is.
It pisses me off how much everyone loves Yuki.
That's why I don't mind fighting a long battle.
I got off track.
Anyway, what I can say is ...
If you don't have any attchment of being in a band ...
or rather the determination to live along with Uenoyama forever ...
I won't say anything bad about it, it's best to let it go now.
I won't say anything bad about it, it's best to let it go now.
Hiiragi was able to bloom because of Yuki.
He's talented, honest, tender hearted and ... dazzling.
I want to defile him.
As a foster child, I've only known the
disgusting side of the world.
To the me who was twisted and emotionally
numbed, Hiiragi was especially bright.
I've treated him with care, like encasing
a precious stone from the sandbox.
Damn it. I'm such a jerk.
I am really am shitty.
Wha?! What's with this place ?!
Do you live at such a place, Akihiko ?!
How can you live here ?!
It's even noisier in the day time because
there's a printing company here.
What??!!
I'll put the beers in.
These are all disposed convenience store bentos?
There are even frozen ones!
I'm cutting down on food waste.
Just freezing them like that, won't the rice be hard?
Oh, hard and frozen rice ...
(Ochazuke is when you pour hot soup
stock or tea onto rice, like soupy rice)
If you make them into ochazuke, it'll mostly tase good.
That's genius.
Well, it sure is quite hellish but since they
allow instruments and the rent is cheap ...
I guess it's quite a nice place.
Right?
Actually, the ghost of an old man appears too.
Eh?
But it was soo crazy ...
Did you see it? Did you see him before?!
They do fireworks in this area during the summer.
They shoot it from the other side of the river so
at this height, we'll be able to see it, probably.
I see ...
Aki ...
Ah, wait a minute.
There's something I want to talk about before this.
Later.
W-Wait ... Geez!
It's totally different than what I thought.
It's different from Hiiragi's and Mafuyu's music too.
Am I doing this?
Damn it.
I really don't want too, but ...
Urgh .... Damn it.
Ritsuka, dinner!
Wow, it's that again.
Eh?!
I made the sample, so listen to it.
EHH?!!
Isn't that a little too fast?!
Hurry up and listen to it.
'Sides that, this is not your school.
Okay, okay, I get it!
Geez, can't you wait until we get to the studio ...
Hiiragi ...
Hurry up and say something.
Why ... This song is not like your music ...
I made it so ...
Ohh, a song written by an ex?
So that's why you were pissed.
Yeah but that's not it.
Huh, then why are you making that face?
It's someone else's song.
Like for example, you're trying to complete someone else's painting.
If you've thought of doing it, you can totally paint over it.
But if you repaint the entire thing,
that would be meaningless.
Oh I see, no wonder you were uncomfortable with that.
It's like restoring a painting.
What's that?
Fixing and restoring an old painting
that has peeled off due to time.
Not only the technique, you have to understand the
artist to tell what the painting was trying to convey.
You'll have to know this Yuki person better than anyone else.
That's what you're trying to do now, right?
Anyways, aren't you being too nice?
Then, what if you were given Yatake-san's
ex-girlfriend painting to fix?
I'll rip it to shreds.
That's because it like a love letter written by the ex, isn't it?
That would be hell.
Yoshida Yuki, the impression that I get from the sample was ...
Self-righteous, hedonistic and cool-headed
but there's a hint of loneliness somewhere.
I baselessly assumed that he would be
a more sensitive person like Mafuyu.
No, to be precise, I tried not to think about it.
I... I used to really love a person.
Uenoyama-kun!
Mayfuyu?
I've called you a few times.
Yes?
That shocked me.
I've sent you a few messages asking when we're
having the band meeting but you never replied so ...
Oh, you've came to ask that?
He's pouting. It's rather cute.
I thought he was avoiding me ...
Kaji-san was suggesting Saturday or Sunday.
Ah, sorry, I'll have to pass.
I've promised Hiiragi to go to the studio.
Are you three always together lately?
Umm, except on days I'm part-timing, I think most of the time?
My bad, I'll contact Kaji-san myself later.
Hiiragi ... He has already gotten it down almost perfectly.
It has been only a day or two since I've handed
him the sample but he's nailed it down already.
Frankly, this band is crazy good.
I thought this band was just riding the trend fever but ...
I'm getting the feeling from when they
churned out a CM song within a few months.
In the first place, there's no flaw in Hiiragi.
And besides, Shizusumi ...
What's with him being so good at drums?
Maybe because he used to be a sportsman,
his wrists are really flexible and he has a great sense of rhythm.
What's more is he has a wide perspective.
Damn it, I want to complete this song.
Hey.
We're gonna finish this song before the album's first show.
Fine with me, I'l take up the challenge!
I'm starving! Let's eat something.
Agreed.
Oh, we're shooting for a MV soon
so next, we're gonna practice that.
MV? Didn't you shoot one the last time?
That was for the winning prize of CAC.
This time will be for our debut song!
You'll be in it too.
Huh? But I'm just a supporting guitarist.
It's fine, they'll not shoot you that much.
What do you mean it's fine?
Oh, Mafuyu!
What, going home from your part-time job?
Yeah.
You guys were at the studio today too?
Yup, cuz we're having a live soon.
We're gonna shoot a MV too.
We're going to eat something now, come along.
Come along!
I'm not going.
Eh?! Come on, let's go ...
Not going.
Next time.
Okay, be careful.
Let's go to ramen.
I couldn't talk to them properly.
Regarding the band and Uenoyama-kun.
Everything came suddenly.
I can't hear the music properly.
Just like that time.
It feels like when I was left behind by them.
I don't want this.
I'm scared.
Okay, okay, I'm coming now!
Eh ?! Why ?! What?
You are always so sudden.
How did you know about this place?
Haruki-san told me.
I've heard of it but this is really bad.
Yeah ... right.
I mean other things too.
I guess it's been awhile?
Sorry, I couldn't show up at the studio.
I'm swamped with university exams and the violin competition.
Besides that, the talk about us debuting, that's crazy!
Is it effect from CAC? And we have great looks too.
Kaji-san, do you want to go pro?
Eh?! Huh?!
Do you want to?
Eh?! Uh ... Wait ... Yeah.
From there?
Okays. You know, it's not that I want to, but I will.
No matter how many years it takes, in what form, I will.
It doesn't matter whether if it is going pro with the band
or the violin, I really want to make a living by music.
And with you, Uenoyama and Haruki I think I can achieve anything.
That's why I'll take any opportunities that I can.
Besides, I've been playing my violin so much
that I haven't got time for job searching.
What do you think about it, Mafuyu?
I'll keep it a secret from the others so tell me.
Um.
I think I'm scared.
I don't know. I just can't imagine it.
Because I've just been playing music for fun.
Today, I saw Uenoyama-kun with other band members.
And when I remembered about how because
of music, everything turned to dust ...
If we became professionals and there was no
escape from music, I might lose something again ...
When it becomes like that, no matter when and
what, do we still have to pour everything into music?
I understand your feelings.
Hiiragi and Uenoyama-kun ... Don't they feel scared?
I wonder, because they are light minded.
Rather than the dark side of things, they live by
emphasizing more on the positive side of things.
Haha, chance, hahaha!
Aren't they doing their first album live soon?
Why don't you go have a look?
You might not want to see Ue supporting another man's band though.
I don't want to go.
I totally get you.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Sure, get back home safely.
No, there's certainly something wrong with Mafuyu!
Now?
Finally?
He's probably pissed cuz his own
member got snatched by another band.
Does he even have those feelings?
What do you think Mafuyu is?
Or perhaps he thinks that his guy is being snatched by me again.
Huh? I'm not being snatched by you.
I'm not talking about that kind of thing!
Listen properly!
Because of the incident with Yuki, I'll be troubled
if I'm being hate by him again because of music!
What are you talking about?
Didn't you hear about it?
About what?
About Yuki ...
Yuki ...
They had a huge fight before the incident.
I don't really know the details too but I
have a feeling it was because of music.
That time, Yuki was really immersed in music but
Mafuyu would never say that he wanted to join too.
Perhaps Mafuyu thinks that because of music, he became all alone.
That's why I thought Mafuyu hated music
and would never come over to this world.
When I heard he joined a band, I was really surprised.
Huh ?! This is bad!
What?!
Because of that song, lately I've become that too.
This is really bad.
Another serving of noodles please!
Coming right up!
I thought that Mafuyu would naturally come
to our live but I'll have to invite him properly ...
You guys sure realize things late.
Oh man!!!
This is bad!!
Ma ... Mafu ... Mafuyu is gonna hate me again!
Nothing is going right at all!
Really?
Really!
I thought I was doing this for
Mafuyu but he's gonna be all alone again.
Yeah, maybe.
No way!!
It's not like I kept it a secret or what but ... but ...
Oh, Shizu?
Are you perhaps angry?
I quite understand Mafuyu's feelings of being left out.
The one that's really being left out from the group ...
... was me.
That's because you too ... liked Yuki, right?
What? What are you talking about?
You looked like you're having so much
fun when Yuki asked you to join the band.
But that, Shizu too ... You too were having fun ...
Me?
What? What is he angry about?
What did he say? Me, like Yuki?
Wait, hang on.
Wait a sec, that's not it!
You! It's you! It's a misunderstanding, you idiot!
You! You! You!
I ...
In the first place, why do you want to play Yuki's song now?
For Mafuyu's sake? Is it really so?
It's because you're lonely even now, right?
What? Seriously, what are you saying suddenly?
With that face that thinks he knows everything I'm feeling now!
In the first place, l ...
I ... like you!
Oh is that so.
Then what do you want to do?
What I want to do ... with Shizu?
Did he hear my confession?
I like you! You, say something!
See, you don't feel like doing anything with me, right?
Huh? I'm not saying that.
Well, we'll take things step by step ... like holding hands and ... Huh?
It's poking ...
Usually if you say 'love', it includes putting this in ...
You can't do those things with me, can't you?
If you'll watch your boundaries, I'll behave too.
So, what do you want to do? You can decide.
Damn you bastard!
Hiiragi, are you home?
What's with that guy? Why was he angry?
Was Shizusumi such a guy?
Hiiragi?
No, if I think about it calmly, he might be right.
Like wanting to complete the song and letting Mafuyu hear it.
It was all just excuses.
Was I just lonely because Yuki was not here anymore?
And perhaps I was using that to take advantage
and depend on Shizusumi for everything.
I admired Yuki.
He was a special person to me but I've never
thought of wanting to be anything to him.
Because Yuki took Mafuyu's hand
and their world was completed.
I thought that that scene had nothing to do with me.
They were ... or rather, Yuki was a sacred place to me.
Yuki's special radiance, his special music ...
I was just happy to watch from the audience seat ...
... with Shizusumi by my side.
It's no wonder Shizu thought I was in love with Yuki.
Hey, don't bump it on my teeth.
But don't you like it?
Ah!
Come on, Aki, go get the door.
Let's ignore it.
No, answer it!
They can tell we're here cuz the lights are on.
It's fine, they'll go back eventually.
Quit fucking me! Hey, Mafuyu! Stop barging in all of a sud-
Huh, you?
Akihiko!
Um ...
So who was it?
For now, put on your clothes.
Ahhh ... Sorry for the bad timing.
No, it was our fault.
Erm, it has been awhile since the three of us meet.
Yes it has.
What's wrong, so late at night?
Oh right, my business.
I thought I could drop by on my way home So ...
These, I thought I'd come over to hand you the tickets.
Hiiragi's band first major show.
Ahhh, only you getting all the nice things, how unfair.
Well, we just have to debut too!
I really want to, don't you want to?
I said I want to!
Then quit dilly-dallying and convince Mafuyu asap!
Stop caring about your image and just go for it.
But you're the one who's holding back the most.
You've gotta make the vocal feel up to it, right?
Hmmm ...
Regarding the debut talk, since we're
still all alive, let's talk clearly about it.
Did you know that all of us are in our graduating year?
Me grad school, Akihiko undergraduate and
you guys will be graduating high school.
No matter what, things will change from now.
You're really amazing.
No matter what anyone else says, you're
the one nearest to the stage now.
Well ...
Since you're on stage anyways,
why don't you pull Mafuyu along too?
In the end, like always, you'll have to lead him along with your music.
And here I was trying to be thoughtful
and you're saying everything you like ...
It's because I can't get it through with music, I'm in trouble!
Plus, my opponent is that weirdo!
Pull him through with music?! Watch me during the show!
I'Il punch you two with my music too
That's not where you're supposed to laugh!
You know, I understand Mafuyu's insecurities and Uecchi's hesitation.
What is it suddenly?
Just think of it normally, isn't this too much for highschoolers?
Along with the band, even their relationship is on this boat.
It's not an easy feat.
What if they break up?
No! This is that, isn't it? Sorry, the thought boomerangs ...
Huh?? It's fine.
I'm confident, in that aspect as well.
But sure, it might be a little too heavy for 17-years olds.
That's like asking the other person to commit a double suicide with you.
Yeah, I'm skipping today.
I'm fine. Have a safe trip.
I couldn't sleep at all.
My face is all puffy from all the crying too.
I feel like crap.
After getting sick of crying, I saw a series of short dreams.
Like things in the past ... They were all about Shizusumi.
What will you do?
After listening to your music the other day at the
studio, I felt like changing the second part of the song.
Listen to it.
So sluggish.
Damn it, what am I supposed to do?
This is sooo scary!
Shizu you get on too!
What is so interesting about that?
Ah ...
Come to think of it, that guard rail ...
I walked on it with Shizu when we
were young and we got scolded badly.
Sheesh, another dream about Shizu?
That guard rail, there was another time
that I tried to walk on it again.
During that winter we entered high school.
It just came suddenly and I thought of doing
something naughty like when we were young.
But once I was on the rail, as I stare at the mighty
sunset that seems like it might burn me, I couldn't move.
Hiiragi ...
Oh, it really is different.
Huh?
I think ...
I think I get it.
I think I finally understand!
The next part of this song that Yuki wanted to write, I think I get it now.
Uenoyama ... No, how Yuki looks at Mafuyu ... It's just like me.
Just like how he was just simply, purely in love with Mafuyu.
Why didn't I realize it at all?
With that same special feeling, I've loved Shizusumi all this while.
Hey!
Yo.
You do know what this means if you do this?
Just looking at this, you get it, right?
What? You've never gotten the gold color?
Then it can't be helped. I'll trade my gold for yours.
Here.
On the day that I gave him the only gold paper in
class, I think it was the day I've first saw Shizu smile.
He doesn't usually smile but why did he smile then?
Or perhaps it was the nostalgic filter?
But that was the turning point, before Shizu started following
me, it was me who grabbed his hand and dragged him along.
After that, I wanted to monopolize his gaze
so that it only has me in it.
When Shizu who was filled with loopholes
got attached to me, I was so happy.
It was me who first ...
I love you, Shizu!
From the start, just with a single gold origami paper,
he made me to be a God ...
This sense of superiority from being coveted,
I want to give it to him.
He's so dear to me ...
I want to be his.
Say that you want me. I'll give it to you
Do you know what you're saying?
Stop putting up a front and pushing down what you want!
Don't say things that push me away.
No, you definitely don't understand.
Do you get the meaning of giving a lick of water
to someone who has been walking in the desert?
It's fine, you can lick it ... All of it.
Do you really get what's going to happen?
You'll definitely cry like a baby.
No I won't!
Uh ... That place!
I'Il put my hand in that place too.
No way.
You're fine with it?
Shut up! I get it!
Do you wanna stop?
Shut up! I don't wanna stop!
Stop asking every single thing, idoit!
You! What are you laughing at?!
Uh, what?!! No, I don't want it! I'm scared! Wai-
No way, it's in- What?!
What is this?
Here I am soaked in tears while he's smiling his head off ...
Seriously, what's he thinking now?
But he's showing his teeth when he smiles.
It was just like how he smiled back then.
Yeah, he showed his teeth back then too.
Yesterday, everything I begged from him, even
things that I felt sorry doing it to him too ...
He let me do it all.
He forgave me for everything.
It was incredible.
W-What time is it?
Hiiragi ...
I love you.
Let me stay by your side ... Until I die.
Until you die ... Huh ?!
Shizu, you're too dramatic for everything!
Really?
Is that how you confess? Can't you come at me more naturally?
I thought it was the simplest of all.
You're really so extreme.
Then, from now, shooting for syc's music video "Parade" shall begin!
We look forward to working with you!
We look forward to working with you!
Okay.
Thank you very much!
There are so many people just to shoot one MV?
I"ll take your water bottle.
Oh, thank you very much.
The camera's set!
Thank you for waiting!
Actual take!
While self-reflecting, views go back and forth
A mask that covers emotion
I don't have confidience in my feelings.
Once again, I'm drawn towards
self-indulgence by the screen.
Do you hear it? That boisterous sensation.
I'm ready to wait, I'll be waiting here.
Hey, come follow me.
Parade of our dreams.
Don't be afraid, It's not scary.
Hey, flaunting the rotting justice.
Let's break free from the laughing masquerade.
The true parade.
As usual, it pisses me off!!
Hiiragi, did something happen?
Your sound changed a little ... So did how you sang.
Did something happened between you guys?
N-No not really!
So I hit the bullseye.
No, it's not a bullseye !!
Hurry up and go buy our stuff!
I want a cheeseburger set, thanks!
He really knows how to stir people up!
And his emotions are like a roller coaster!
I'II go crazy if I continue being in the same band as him!
Oh really.
His music is great though.
Oh really.
"Oh really, oh really" ... I've thought about
it before but aren't you a little too passive?
Why are you even in a band with Hiiragi?
Because I love him.
It's green.
W-Wait a sec!
So you guys are really going out?
Yes.
Having a relationship in a band with just
two people, it's even worse than ours.
Oh really.
But, you guys are professionals!
You're different than us.
Plus, don't you think about by adding unnecessary
things, the music might change and such?
I love music.
I take it quite seriously, even more than you.
And I'm doing music so that I can stand
beside Hiiragi, nothing else matters.
That's why my sound will not change or waver.
I believe in Hiiragi's music.
I can't be like you or Mafuyu.
That's why I don't understand your conflicts.
That is also my strength.
This guy is crazy.
He has totally blown off any hesitation.
I thought he was just someone supporting
from the shadows but it's the total opposite.
So there are people like this too.
Sure, he's extreme but that unwavering will ...
I'm a little envious of it.
Mafuyu!
Mafuyu!
Ah, it's a dream of Yuki.
Where are you going again?
Oh, did you form a band with everyone?
Wait, I'm lonely so don't leave me alone.
My voice won't come out.
A dream.
Lately, I can't hear the music.
Even though since I met Uenoyama-kun,
no matter what I did, it never stopped.
Huh?
When did I last sing?
How did I used to sing?
Whenever you laugh, my heart stirs
I know that stirring is just love
Infected by it, I feel like a fool
Ah, beautiful words can't convey it
"My mind full of problems"
"The two of us with no clear path"
Even if the whole world points finger and tries to stop us
I don't care anymore
I probably love you very, very much
That is all I'm living for
There's no need for something like scientific evidence
I don't care anymore
I can throw everything away except for you
I'll embrace this super ultra I LOVE YOU
I will sing it to you
Because it can't be measured by profit or correctness
Ignoring the past, we continue falling in love
Even if we aren't understood, it's okay
Ah, I'll embrace you until I regret it
Labeled "Human"
We are pushed into a container
Invisible to the eyes, this love
If only it could be free
I don't care anymore
Even without word, life seeks eachother
I just learned that, so I'm forgetting to say a lot
Stained with fingerprints, these worn-out words
Even if I can't put all these feelings into words
I don't care anymore
I probably love you very, very much
That is all I'm living for
There is no need for something ike scientific evidence
I don't care anymore
I can throw everything away except for you
I'll embrace this super ultra I LOVE YOU
I will sing it to you
Whenever you laugh, my heart stirs
I know that stirring is just love
Mafuyu, did you take up alot of slots
for your part time during spring break?
Not yet, slotting them in for now
What about you, Uenoyama-kun?
Me too.
Would you like some studio time?
Yeah.
We can go look at some effectors again too.
Yeah.
Everyone, take one piece of origami paper at a time.
This one! Me too!
It's not a race.
If you want a specific color,
ask nicely for them to swap it with you.
I want silver.
You're always taking the silver, it's unfair!
Why? It's not!
I want silver too.
Huh? Shizusumi-kun, you took the same color again?
Don't you want gold like the others?
It's fine, I have a piece.
I don't need it.
What? You've never gotten the gold color?
Mafuyu...
Is that guy here?
Hiiragi?
Shizu-chan too?
Like I've said, Mafuyu is like a little brother
to me rather than a childhood friend!
So?
So, I'm saying I know about Mafuyu a 100 times more than you!
Oh? What does that have to do with knowing someone longer?
Besides, Mafuyu said that you're like his little sister.
I'll kill him!
And so, what does that have to do
with you missing the note just now?
I'm saying that you're not matching up with me is
because you've got a problem dealing with other people!
In the first place, you think I had the beat correct too!
Right, Shizu ?!
Yeah.
Take a little more interest in me!
Shut up! Quit bitching on every single thing!
Wgat does that gotta do with Mafuyu?!
It pisses me off you acting like a boyfriend when
you can't even get along with other people!
Then you try matching with me!
YOU try to be more considerate of me!
Why should I?!
Uenoyama-kun, it's time to go.
Both of you, stop fighting.
We're not.
We have to go to the Given studio next.
Well then, I'll see you the day after. Good work.
Good work!!
G'job.
Argh !!! I just can't stand him personality-wise!
What's with that "I am above everyone else" attitude ?!!
Disliking people similar to oneself.
We're totally incompatible !!
I hate those who think the world revolves around them!
Disliking people similar to oneself.
Does the sound not match at all?
Nah, when it does match, we sync perfectly.
So they do sync.
Then why did you accept to being Hiiragi's support?
Why ... Well, that's because ...
They were cooler than I thought.
I hated those that go with the trend.
Or so I thought.
Not only their music sounded good,
it just imprinted itself into my head.
It felt better than I've imagined.
It was just simply good.
In the autumn of 2nd year high school, they
won at CAC and were about to debut ...
... when their supporting guitarist left.
When they were thinking of how to fill in
the hole, the target of their arrow was ...
ME??!!
It's just until we find the next guitarist.
Just for the in-between, a time limited thing.
For two live shows.
If your guitarist quit, you can just skip having lives for now.
Of course we're doing it! I want to enhance our reputation.
Then why me?
Because at CAC, when I saw your show,
I thought of teaming up with you.
Anyways, what are you guys doing here today?
Are you that confident?
Or because you're high schoolers, you wanna party at lives?
Anyway, I'm asking you.
Besides, there's something I want to try with you.
In the end, the reason why I accepted being
their supporting guitarist is because ...
I don't want vauge sensations.
It seems like it'll be a lot of fun.
Media from the other side,
Yeah, that's it.
In conclusion, Hiiragi has a charm that attracts people.
dismantled and reassebled.
Generally the same ideas.
This voice piercing through now.
Remember those memories from that time.
On a piece of drawing paper,
where we could draw anything.
Create an uproar so that now doesn't fade.
It's the end of paper filled hopes.
I will keep singing until it reaches you.
Um, please have these.
Gifts? Thanks!
Oh, is it alright to accept all these?
Yes, please use them!
Can we get a pic?
A picture, sure!
Hey, Uenoyama!
Haruki-san and Big Sis!
Hey there!
Why? Eh, both of you?
We met at the entrance.
We're invited as guests because we
helped them shoot their MV last time.
Oh... Where's Take-san?
Working overtime.
What about you? Where's that kid that looks like a Pomeranian?
Ah, Mafuyu? He's part-timing today.
Well then, I'll just greet everyone and go home.
For now, great job for the show!
You were really cool!
Thanks!
You're not together with Kaji-san today?
He's busy prepping something for his violin.
We're all doing our separate things lately.
Next, can we take a pic with this guy too?
Sure, sure!
Thanks!
Shouldn't you go over there too?
It's okay.
I just can't keep up with Hiiragi's socializing side.
Oh, Matsumura-san! You came! Thanks!
Sure, Hiiragi is very charming and fun but
I would like our own band to be recognized more.
I'm envious of him and I get sick of it.
Uh, about that ...
Actually, there's talk of debuting for Given ...
... from a recording company.
Eh?
Um, they contacted me today.
EHHH !!! DEBUT ??!
Ah, wait!
To be precise, it's not that we can debut but
more like whether if we would like to debut.
It's from someone that gave me their name card at CAC.
Asking that if we would like to debut
and to contact them eventually.
It's not like there's anything confirmed though.
What did you reply?
I haven't replied to them. I've only told you so far.
Oh, they are a big shot. Isn't that great?
You were listening?!
You were the one who shouted "debut" in a loud voice.
You should be more aware of your surroundings.
Wha-?!
I'll talk about it with Akihiko so you talk to Mafuyu too.
About your future path after graduating and about
how far you guys would like to pursue music.
I'll forward the mail to you later.
Yell then, see ya.
Future path?
Huh? What's with that "I've never thought about it" face?
I've thought about it. I've thought about it before but ...
Hey, it's about time.
Okay
Hiiragi, what about you!
Did you struggle about it? On how to live life from now.
Not really.
Besides, a possibility has arisen. Be more happy about it.
Be more happy? Sure there's a tingling feeling in my stomach.
We did not make it at CAC. I was
jealous for Hiiragi being able to debut.
And now, my heart is pounding like hell.
Seriously, isn't this incredible ?!
Oh, I know that person. He's Mafuyu-senpai.
Ah, the one in the band.
Is he famous?
Didn't he joined a fes or something?
Really? I want a pic!
Hey, Mafuyu!
Uenoyama is calling you.
De .. but?
Haruki-san was asking whether if you're thinking of that.
Whether if you are planning to continue pursuing music and also ...
.. about what you're planning to do in the future.
Honestly, I'm really happy.
Do you want to try challenging it?
Eh?
I'll think about it later.
What do you mean 'later'?
Sorry, we'll talk about it next time.
Mafuyu, hey!
Eh ?! Why ??!! Eh ??!!!
Uenoyama, we need to change classrooms next.
Hey, Hiiragi, you're going back already?
What, work again?
Yup. Did you see Shizu?
Shizusumi? He said he was going to skip classes at the infirmary.
Shizu.
Let's go home.
Hey!
Shut up, you're really noisy.
It's boring. Let's go to the studio.
Going to the studio every day, what are you planning to do?
Make new demos.
Hiiragi, what about you?
Did you struggle about it?
Is he stupid or what?
After Yuki died, I've decided on how I
want to live when reforming the band.
And by doing this, I can tie Shizusumi's
life to mine for a little longer.
Shizusumi always has this look like he
has no interest in my life whatsoever.
But he still follows me until the end.
He seems like he's not listening but
he still says the things I want to hear.
When I said "Let's form a band," he somewhat came along.
Even when I couldn't contact Mafuyu anymore ...
You should go back to your own place.
Don't wanna. Even if I go back, there's no one there.
Hey.
Hurry up and get in, it's cold.
Shizusumi is sometimes kind.
Up until lately, I was happy with only that.
Perhaps ... Just perhaps ...
No, not perhaps but I actually really like Shizusumi, maybe ?!!
Stop. It's hot.
This is because Mafuyu said things like
hurry up and get together with Shizu.
Eventhough he's such a blockhead, I really like him.
Uenoyama says he's at the station.
I like like like like like him.
In the first place, he's too handsome.
Are you listening? What's with that face?
He has a great body too. Even though he
was smaller than me last time!
Hiiragi.
Even his aloof voice is great!
Ahh! What should I do? I like him!
Ah, what is it?
Huh, what?
Mafuyu is ...
Mafuyu is really funny!
It's not funny at all.
This is the best thing I've heard all day.
Shut up! Quit laughing!
But you squeezed out every drop of your
courage to invite him to debut professionally ...
... but turned down with a "We'll talk about it next time"?
Thanks for your hard work.
Wait up.
In the first place, why does he back off
every time I invite him to do something ?!
Maybe you're just too persistent?
I'll kill you!
Well, he's the type who thinks things for a long time.
Once he has decided, he will not change his mind
but he will stay quiet until he has his answer.
Because he thinks over it so much, he'll
suddenly start with the conclusion.
I'm going home.
Wait up, my bad!
Besides that, why are we meeting here instead of the studio?
There's something I would like to discuss today.
Discuss?
I've just sent you a sample.
What, do you want to do a new song?
It's not a new song, it's an old song.
I thought I've already received all the songs.
No, there are some that we didn't give to you.
They are songs when Yuki was the vocal.
Yuki is ...
Mafuyu's dead childhood friend.
Have you heard of him before?
Not really, only vaguely.
This band started with Yuki, Shizu and me.
There were songs that were written by the
three of us and some were quite successful.
That's one of them.
What about the songs up till now?
Those that you've played were written by me.
Those written by Yuki, we have not played it since he died.
Wait, why didn't you play them all these while?
I thought I couldn't sing Yuki's songs after he's gone.
Not just because of the sentimental
side of it, I'm just not up to par for it.
I don't understand. Is he that good?
Sorry but I don't think this Yuki guy is better than you.
You don't understand a single thing.
Yuki was an incredibly charismatic person.
My songs are like junk food but Yuki's songs are different.
This sample is half done, both song and lyrics.
Once we've decided on a fixed guitarist, we
won't have the chance to do this anymore.
Before that, I'd like to complete it.
Wait, hang on. I totally don't feel like doing it.
Well yeah, I'd thought you'd say so.
It's hard completing someone's piece.
You've never written lyrics too.
It's fine if you can't do it.
Shut up! I can do that at least dumbass!
For starters, try listening to the sample.
I joined as a supporting guitarist
because I acknowledged Hiiragi's talent.
This is just not making any sense ...
Frankly, I don't feel like doing it at all.
I mean, he was Mafuyu's ex-boyfriend.
Tsk, can't be help.
Maybe Yuki on that night just thought, "Well, I should try this"
and crossed the white line that normal
people would usually not so suddenly.
I still don't understand what Yuki was thinking.
(Shizu-chan, can we meet now?)
You think Uenoyama will do it?
Hey Shizu, are you listening?
Sorry, something came up.
What?
I'll be going that way.
Huh?!
See you tomorrow.
Hey! What thing?! With who?!
That was close, I was nearly tricked!
Bye.
Who are you meeting at this time?! Hey!!
Damn, he's fast.
Mayfuyu ...
Hey ...
Shizu-chan.
Is this about the debut?
You heard?
Yeah, from Uenoyama.
He says you were worried about it.
Rather than being worried about it ...
... It's more like I don't get it.
I didn't think about it at all.
When did you start thinking about it, Shizu-chan?
When I was told by Hiiragi.
We're going professional!
He said that we're going pro and I thought "Oh okay".
In the first place, why are you hesitating?
I don't know.
For me, if Hiiragi says he wants to do it, I'll just go with it.
Because you like Hiiragi?
You are scared, aren't you?
I'm not like you or Yuki.
Even before you two realized your feelings, you
had each other so I doubt you'll understand but ...
I don't have a choice. I can't be picky on how I do things.
I'd be even willing to throw my life away.
You don't even know how good you have it.
If you like Hiiragi that much, why won't you do anything?
That guy ... I think he liked Yuki a little.
Eh?
I don't know what kind of love it was though.
He was captivated by Yuki.
There's something I want to try with you.
He't totally captivated by him.
Even when he first started music. Why do
you think Hiiragi continued playing in a band?
It was like this from before.
Because you were at a closer distance, you didn't
notice it but the four of us revolves around Yuki.
Is that so?
Yes it is.
It pisses me off how much everyone loves Yuki.
That's why I don't mind fighting a long battle.
I got off track.
Anyway, what I can say is ...
If you don't have any attchment of being in a band ...
or rather the determination to live along with Uenoyama forever ...
I won't say anything bad about it, it's best to let it go now.
I won't say anything bad about it, it's best to let it go now.
Hiiragi was able to bloom because of Yuki.
He's talented, honest, tender hearted and ... dazzling.
I want to defile him.
As a foster child, I've only known the
disgusting side of the world.
To the me who was twisted and emotionally
numbed, Hiiragi was especially bright.
I've treated him with care, like encasing
a precious stone from the sandbox.
Damn it. I'm such a jerk.
I am really am shitty.
Wha?! What's with this place ?!
Do you live at such a place, Akihiko ?!
How can you live here ?!
It's even noisier in the day time because
there's a printing company here.
What??!!
I'll put the beers in.
These are all disposed convenience store bentos?
There are even frozen ones!
I'm cutting down on food waste.
Just freezing them like that, won't the rice be hard?
Oh, hard and frozen rice ...
(Ochazuke is when you pour hot soup
stock or tea onto rice, like soupy rice)
If you make them into ochazuke, it'll mostly tase good.
That's genius.
Well, it sure is quite hellish but since they
allow instruments and the rent is cheap ...
I guess it's quite a nice place.
Right?
Actually, the ghost of an old man appears too.
Eh?
But it was soo crazy ...
Did you see it? Did you see him before?!
They do fireworks in this area during the summer.
They shoot it from the other side of the river so
at this height, we'll be able to see it, probably.
I see ...
Aki ...
Ah, wait a minute.
There's something I want to talk about before this.
Later.
W-Wait ... Geez!
It's totally different than what I thought.
It's different from Hiiragi's and Mafuyu's music too.
Am I doing this?
Damn it.
I really don't want too, but ...
Urgh .... Damn it.
Ritsuka, dinner!
Wow, it's that again.
Eh?!
I made the sample, so listen to it.
EHH?!!
Isn't that a little too fast?!
Hurry up and listen to it.
'Sides that, this is not your school.
Okay, okay, I get it!
Geez, can't you wait until we get to the studio ...
Hiiragi ...
Hurry up and say something.
Why ... This song is not like your music ...
I made it so ...
Ohh, a song written by an ex?
So that's why you were pissed.
Yeah but that's not it.
Huh, then why are you making that face?
It's someone else's song.
Like for example, you're trying to complete someone else's painting.
If you've thought of doing it, you can totally paint over it.
But if you repaint the entire thing,
that would be meaningless.
Oh I see, no wonder you were uncomfortable with that.
It's like restoring a painting.
What's that?
Fixing and restoring an old painting
that has peeled off due to time.
Not only the technique, you have to understand the
artist to tell what the painting was trying to convey.
You'll have to know this Yuki person better than anyone else.
That's what you're trying to do now, right?
Anyways, aren't you being too nice?
Then, what if you were given Yatake-san's
ex-girlfriend painting to fix?
I'll rip it to shreds.
That's because it like a love letter written by the ex, isn't it?
That would be hell.
Yoshida Yuki, the impression that I get from the sample was ...
Self-righteous, hedonistic and cool-headed
but there's a hint of loneliness somewhere.
I baselessly assumed that he would be
a more sensitive person like Mafuyu.
No, to be precise, I tried not to think about it.
I... I used to really love a person.
Uenoyama-kun!
Mayfuyu?
I've called you a few times.
Yes?
That shocked me.
I've sent you a few messages asking when we're
having the band meeting but you never replied so ...
Oh, you've came to ask that?
He's pouting. It's rather cute.
I thought he was avoiding me ...
Kaji-san was suggesting Saturday or Sunday.
Ah, sorry, I'll have to pass.
I've promised Hiiragi to go to the studio.
Are you three always together lately?
Umm, except on days I'm part-timing, I think most of the time?
My bad, I'll contact Kaji-san myself later.
Hiiragi ... He has already gotten it down almost perfectly.
It has been only a day or two since I've handed
him the sample but he's nailed it down already.
Frankly, this band is crazy good.
I thought this band was just riding the trend fever but ...
I'm getting the feeling from when they
churned out a CM song within a few months.
In the first place, there's no flaw in Hiiragi.
And besides, Shizusumi ...
What's with him being so good at drums?
Maybe because he used to be a sportsman,
his wrists are really flexible and he has a great sense of rhythm.
What's more is he has a wide perspective.
Damn it, I want to complete this song.
Hey.
We're gonna finish this song before the album's first show.
Fine with me, I'l take up the challenge!
I'm starving! Let's eat something.
Agreed.
Oh, we're shooting for a MV soon
so next, we're gonna practice that.
MV? Didn't you shoot one the last time?
That was for the winning prize of CAC.
This time will be for our debut song!
You'll be in it too.
Huh? But I'm just a supporting guitarist.
It's fine, they'll not shoot you that much.
What do you mean it's fine?
Oh, Mafuyu!
What, going home from your part-time job?
Yeah.
You guys were at the studio today too?
Yup, cuz we're having a live soon.
We're gonna shoot a MV too.
We're going to eat something now, come along.
Come along!
I'm not going.
Eh?! Come on, let's go ...
Not going.
Next time.
Okay, be careful.
Let's go to ramen.
I couldn't talk to them properly.
Regarding the band and Uenoyama-kun.
Everything came suddenly.
I can't hear the music properly.
Just like that time.
It feels like when I was left behind by them.
I don't want this.
I'm scared.
Okay, okay, I'm coming now!
Eh ?! Why ?! What?
You are always so sudden.
How did you know about this place?
Haruki-san told me.
I've heard of it but this is really bad.
Yeah ... right.
I mean other things too.
I guess it's been awhile?
Sorry, I couldn't show up at the studio.
I'm swamped with university exams and the violin competition.
Besides that, the talk about us debuting, that's crazy!
Is it effect from CAC? And we have great looks too.
Kaji-san, do you want to go pro?
Eh?! Huh?!
Do you want to?
Eh?! Uh ... Wait ... Yeah.
From there?
Okays. You know, it's not that I want to, but I will.
No matter how many years it takes, in what form, I will.
It doesn't matter whether if it is going pro with the band
or the violin, I really want to make a living by music.
And with you, Uenoyama and Haruki I think I can achieve anything.
That's why I'll take any opportunities that I can.
Besides, I've been playing my violin so much
that I haven't got time for job searching.
What do you think about it, Mafuyu?
I'll keep it a secret from the others so tell me.
Um.
I think I'm scared.
I don't know. I just can't imagine it.
Because I've just been playing music for fun.
Today, I saw Uenoyama-kun with other band members.
And when I remembered about how because
of music, everything turned to dust ...
If we became professionals and there was no
escape from music, I might lose something again ...
When it becomes like that, no matter when and
what, do we still have to pour everything into music?
I understand your feelings.
Hiiragi and Uenoyama-kun ... Don't they feel scared?
I wonder, because they are light minded.
Rather than the dark side of things, they live by
emphasizing more on the positive side of things.
Haha, chance, hahaha!
Aren't they doing their first album live soon?
Why don't you go have a look?
You might not want to see Ue supporting another man's band though.
I don't want to go.
I totally get you.
Sorry for the intrusion.
Sure, get back home safely.
No, there's certainly something wrong with Mafuyu!
Now?
Finally?
He's probably pissed cuz his own
member got snatched by another band.
Does he even have those feelings?
What do you think Mafuyu is?
Or perhaps he thinks that his guy is being snatched by me again.
Huh? I'm not being snatched by you.
I'm not talking about that kind of thing!
Listen properly!
Because of the incident with Yuki, I'll be troubled
if I'm being hate by him again because of music!
What are you talking about?
Didn't you hear about it?
About what?
About Yuki ...
Yuki ...
They had a huge fight before the incident.
I don't really know the details too but I
have a feeling it was because of music.
That time, Yuki was really immersed in music but
Mafuyu would never say that he wanted to join too.
Perhaps Mafuyu thinks that because of music, he became all alone.
That's why I thought Mafuyu hated music
and would never come over to this world.
When I heard he joined a band, I was really surprised.
Huh ?! This is bad!
What?!
Because of that song, lately I've become that too.
This is really bad.
Another serving of noodles please!
Coming right up!
I thought that Mafuyu would naturally come
to our live but I'll have to invite him properly ...
You guys sure realize things late.
Oh man!!!
This is bad!!
Ma ... Mafu ... Mafuyu is gonna hate me again!
Nothing is going right at all!
Really?
Really!
I thought I was doing this for
Mafuyu but he's gonna be all alone again.
Yeah, maybe.
No way!!
It's not like I kept it a secret or what but ... but ...
Oh, Shizu?
Are you perhaps angry?
I quite understand Mafuyu's feelings of being left out.
The one that's really being left out from the group ...
... was me.
That's because you too ... liked Yuki, right?
What? What are you talking about?
You looked like you're having so much
fun when Yuki asked you to join the band.
But that, Shizu too ... You too were having fun ...
Me?
What? What is he angry about?
What did he say? Me, like Yuki?
Wait, hang on.
Wait a sec, that's not it!
You! It's you! It's a misunderstanding, you idiot!
You! You! You!
I ...
In the first place, why do you want to play Yuki's song now?
For Mafuyu's sake? Is it really so?
It's because you're lonely even now, right?
What? Seriously, what are you saying suddenly?
With that face that thinks he knows everything I'm feeling now!
In the first place, l ...
I ... like you!
Oh is that so.
Then what do you want to do?
What I want to do ... with Shizu?
Did he hear my confession?
I like you! You, say something!
See, you don't feel like doing anything with me, right?
Huh? I'm not saying that.
Well, we'll take things step by step ... like holding hands and ... Huh?
It's poking ...
Usually if you say 'love', it includes putting this in ...
You can't do those things with me, can't you?
If you'll watch your boundaries, I'll behave too.
So, what do you want to do? You can decide.
Damn you bastard!
Hiiragi, are you home?
What's with that guy? Why was he angry?
Was Shizusumi such a guy?
Hiiragi?
No, if I think about it calmly, he might be right.
Like wanting to complete the song and letting Mafuyu hear it.
It was all just excuses.
Was I just lonely because Yuki was not here anymore?
And perhaps I was using that to take advantage
and depend on Shizusumi for everything.
I admired Yuki.
He was a special person to me but I've never
thought of wanting to be anything to him.
Because Yuki took Mafuyu's hand
and their world was completed.
I thought that that scene had nothing to do with me.
They were ... or rather, Yuki was a sacred place to me.
Yuki's special radiance, his special music ...
I was just happy to watch from the audience seat ...
... with Shizusumi by my side.
It's no wonder Shizu thought I was in love with Yuki.
Hey, don't bump it on my teeth.
But don't you like it?
Ah!
Come on, Aki, go get the door.
Let's ignore it.
No, answer it!
They can tell we're here cuz the lights are on.
It's fine, they'll go back eventually.
Quit fucking me! Hey, Mafuyu! Stop barging in all of a sud-
Huh, you?
Akihiko!
Um ...
So who was it?
For now, put on your clothes.
Ahhh ... Sorry for the bad timing.
No, it was our fault.
Erm, it has been awhile since the three of us meet.
Yes it has.
What's wrong, so late at night?
Oh right, my business.
I thought I could drop by on my way home So ...
These, I thought I'd come over to hand you the tickets.
Hiiragi's band first major show.
Ahhh, only you getting all the nice things, how unfair.
Well, we just have to debut too!
I really want to, don't you want to?
I said I want to!
Then quit dilly-dallying and convince Mafuyu asap!
Stop caring about your image and just go for it.
But you're the one who's holding back the most.
You've gotta make the vocal feel up to it, right?
Hmmm ...
Regarding the debut talk, since we're
still all alive, let's talk clearly about it.
Did you know that all of us are in our graduating year?
Me grad school, Akihiko undergraduate and
you guys will be graduating high school.
No matter what, things will change from now.
You're really amazing.
No matter what anyone else says, you're
the one nearest to the stage now.
Well ...
Since you're on stage anyways,
why don't you pull Mafuyu along too?
In the end, like always, you'll have to lead him along with your music.
And here I was trying to be thoughtful
and you're saying everything you like ...
It's because I can't get it through with music, I'm in trouble!
Plus, my opponent is that weirdo!
Pull him through with music?! Watch me during the show!
I'Il punch you two with my music too
That's not where you're supposed to laugh!
You know, I understand Mafuyu's insecurities and Uecchi's hesitation.
What is it suddenly?
Just think of it normally, isn't this too much for highschoolers?
Along with the band, even their relationship is on this boat.
It's not an easy feat.
What if they break up?
No! This is that, isn't it? Sorry, the thought boomerangs ...
Huh?? It's fine.
I'm confident, in that aspect as well.
But sure, it might be a little too heavy for 17-years olds.
That's like asking the other person to commit a double suicide with you.
Yeah, I'm skipping today.
I'm fine. Have a safe trip.
I couldn't sleep at all.
My face is all puffy from all the crying too.
I feel like crap.
After getting sick of crying, I saw a series of short dreams.
Like things in the past ... They were all about Shizusumi.
What will you do?
After listening to your music the other day at the
studio, I felt like changing the second part of the song.
Listen to it.
So sluggish.
Damn it, what am I supposed to do?
This is sooo scary!
Shizu you get on too!
What is so interesting about that?
Ah ...
Come to think of it, that guard rail ...
I walked on it with Shizu when we
were young and we got scolded badly.
Sheesh, another dream about Shizu?
That guard rail, there was another time
that I tried to walk on it again.
During that winter we entered high school.
It just came suddenly and I thought of doing
something naughty like when we were young.
But once I was on the rail, as I stare at the mighty
sunset that seems like it might burn me, I couldn't move.
Hiiragi ...
Oh, it really is different.
Huh?
I think ...
I think I get it.
I think I finally understand!
The next part of this song that Yuki wanted to write, I think I get it now.
Uenoyama ... No, how Yuki looks at Mafuyu ... It's just like me.
Just like how he was just simply, purely in love with Mafuyu.
Why didn't I realize it at all?
With that same special feeling, I've loved Shizusumi all this while.
Hey!
Yo.
You do know what this means if you do this?
Just looking at this, you get it, right?
What? You've never gotten the gold color?
Then it can't be helped. I'll trade my gold for yours.
Here.
On the day that I gave him the only gold paper in
class, I think it was the day I've first saw Shizu smile.
He doesn't usually smile but why did he smile then?
Or perhaps it was the nostalgic filter?
But that was the turning point, before Shizu started following
me, it was me who grabbed his hand and dragged him along.
After that, I wanted to monopolize his gaze
so that it only has me in it.
When Shizu who was filled with loopholes
got attached to me, I was so happy.
It was me who first ...
I love you, Shizu!
From the start, just with a single gold origami paper,
he made me to be a God ...
This sense of superiority from being coveted,
I want to give it to him.
He's so dear to me ...
I want to be his.
Say that you want me. I'll give it to you
Do you know what you're saying?
Stop putting up a front and pushing down what you want!
Don't say things that push me away.
No, you definitely don't understand.
Do you get the meaning of giving a lick of water
to someone who has been walking in the desert?
It's fine, you can lick it ... All of it.
Do you really get what's going to happen?
You'll definitely cry like a baby.
No I won't!
Uh ... That place!
I'Il put my hand in that place too.
No way.
You're fine with it?
Shut up! I get it!
Do you wanna stop?
Shut up! I don't wanna stop!
Stop asking every single thing, idoit!
You! What are you laughing at?!
Uh, what?!! No, I don't want it! I'm scared! Wai-
No way, it's in- What?!
What is this?
Here I am soaked in tears while he's smiling his head off ...
Seriously, what's he thinking now?
But he's showing his teeth when he smiles.
It was just like how he smiled back then.
Yeah, he showed his teeth back then too.
Yesterday, everything I begged from him, even
things that I felt sorry doing it to him too ...
He let me do it all.
He forgave me for everything.
It was incredible.
W-What time is it?
Hiiragi ...
I love you.
Let me stay by your side ... Until I die.
Until you die ... Huh ?!
Shizu, you're too dramatic for everything!
Really?
Is that how you confess? Can't you come at me more naturally?
I thought it was the simplest of all.
You're really so extreme.
Then, from now, shooting for syc's music video "Parade" shall begin!
We look forward to working with you!
We look forward to working with you!
Okay.
Thank you very much!
There are so many people just to shoot one MV?
I"ll take your water bottle.
Oh, thank you very much.
The camera's set!
Thank you for waiting!
Actual take!
While self-reflecting, views go back and forth
A mask that covers emotion
I don't have confidience in my feelings.
Once again, I'm drawn towards
self-indulgence by the screen.
Do you hear it? That boisterous sensation.
I'm ready to wait, I'll be waiting here.
Hey, come follow me.
Parade of our dreams.
Don't be afraid, It's not scary.
Hey, flaunting the rotting justice.
Let's break free from the laughing masquerade.
The true parade.
As usual, it pisses me off!!
Hiiragi, did something happen?
Your sound changed a little ... So did how you sang.
Did something happened between you guys?
N-No not really!
So I hit the bullseye.
No, it's not a bullseye !!
Hurry up and go buy our stuff!
I want a cheeseburger set, thanks!
He really knows how to stir people up!
And his emotions are like a roller coaster!
I'II go crazy if I continue being in the same band as him!
Oh really.
His music is great though.
Oh really.
"Oh really, oh really" ... I've thought about
it before but aren't you a little too passive?
Why are you even in a band with Hiiragi?
Because I love him.
It's green.
W-Wait a sec!
So you guys are really going out?
Yes.
Having a relationship in a band with just
two people, it's even worse than ours.
Oh really.
But, you guys are professionals!
You're different than us.
Plus, don't you think about by adding unnecessary
things, the music might change and such?
I love music.
I take it quite seriously, even more than you.
And I'm doing music so that I can stand
beside Hiiragi, nothing else matters.
That's why my sound will not change or waver.
I believe in Hiiragi's music.
I can't be like you or Mafuyu.
That's why I don't understand your conflicts.
That is also my strength.
This guy is crazy.
He has totally blown off any hesitation.
I thought he was just someone supporting
from the shadows but it's the total opposite.
So there are people like this too.
Sure, he's extreme but that unwavering will ...
I'm a little envious of it.
Mafuyu!
Mafuyu!
Ah, it's a dream of Yuki.
Where are you going again?
Oh, did you form a band with everyone?
Wait, I'm lonely so don't leave me alone.
My voice won't come out.
A dream.
Lately, I can't hear the music.
Even though since I met Uenoyama-kun,
no matter what I did, it never stopped.
Huh?
When did I last sing?
How did I used to sing?
Whenever you laugh, my heart stirs
I know that stirring is just love
Infected by it, I feel like a fool
Ah, beautiful words can't convey it
"My mind full of problems"
"The two of us with no clear path"
Even if the whole world points finger and tries to stop us
I don't care anymore
I probably love you very, very much
That is all I'm living for
There's no need for something like scientific evidence
I don't care anymore
I can throw everything away except for you
I'll embrace this super ultra I LOVE YOU
I will sing it to you
Because it can't be measured by profit or correctness
Ignoring the past, we continue falling in love
Even if we aren't understood, it's okay
Ah, I'll embrace you until I regret it
Labeled "Human"
We are pushed into a container
Invisible to the eyes, this love
If only it could be free
I don't care anymore
Even without word, life seeks eachother
I just learned that, so I'm forgetting to say a lot
Stained with fingerprints, these worn-out words
Even if I can't put all these feelings into words
I don't care anymore
I probably love you very, very much
That is all I'm living for
There is no need for something ike scientific evidence
I don't care anymore
I can throw everything away except for you
I'll embrace this super ultra I LOVE YOU
I will sing it to you
Whenever you laugh, my heart stirs
I know that stirring is just love
