1. I hate it when I'm right.
Copy !req
2. Nijika and her friends made them.
Copy !req
3. But the typhoon still came in the end.
Copy !req
4. Well, it's not like rain charms
actually affect the weather.
Copy !req
5. Even the people who bought tickets
might not come at this rate.
Copy !req
6. I hope they're not too
heartbroken by the small crowd.
Copy !req
7. They practiced so hard for this.
I feel bad for them.
Copy !req
8. Real bands get screwed over
by life all the time.
Copy !req
9. They need to learn to make it
through any situation.
Copy !req
10. I've got a handkerchief.
Copy !req
11. Oh, go away.
Copy !req
12. Looks like my friends can't come either.
Copy !req
13. S-Same with my parents.
Copy !req
14. M-My grandma was supposed
to look after Futari,
Copy !req
15. b-but now she can't come, so...
Copy !req
16. Yeah. Makes sense...
Copy !req
17. Our audience is going to be
less than half of what we expected.
Copy !req
18. Well, it is what it is!
Copy !req
19. Let's take it in stride!
Copy !req
20. Yes, of course!
Copy !req
21. Nijika-chan always stays so cheerful,
no matter what happens.
Copy !req
22. C'mon, look alive there!
Copy !req
23. It's the low-pressure system. So sleepy...
Copy !req
24. That's right. Even during the concert
where I was just helping...
Copy !req
25. She worked so hard to cheer me up
when I was scared.
Copy !req
26. O-Okay!
Copy !req
27. For today's concert...
Copy !req
28. I'm gonna bring the hype!
Copy !req
29. Bocchi-chan, this is a serious concert.
Copy !req
30. No messing around.
Copy !req
31. You really like that outfit, huh?
Copy !req
32. Y-Yes...
Copy !req
33. Wow, look at that rain!
Copy !req
34. Bocchi-chan, I'm here!
Copy !req
35. M-Ma'am!
Copy !req
36. Oh, you came here for Bocchi-chan?
Copy !req
37. Heck yeah! Yay!
Copy !req
38. Y-You know each other?
Copy !req
39. She was my junior in college.
Copy !req
40. Betcher havin' an after-party tonight, right?
Copy !req
41. Picked an izakaya yet?
Copy !req
42. You reek of booze!
Copy !req
43. I know a good one, 'kay? 'Kay?
Copy !req
44. How did you become even more
of a pain in the ass?
Copy !req
45. She's as annoying as a college student
who just learned about drinking parties.
Copy !req
46. And look at you! You're soaked!
Copy !req
47. I'm so wet!
Copy !req
48. Hitori-chan!
Copy !req
49. The girls from our street concert!
Copy !req
50. Y-You really came?
Copy !req
51. Of course we did!
Copy !req
52. We're your fans!
Copy !req
53. We'll be expecting a performance
powerful enough to blow away the typhoon!
Copy !req
54. Fans...
Copy !req
55. Y-You are Hitori-chan, right?
Copy !req
56. Did we have the wrong person?
Copy !req
57. My fans!
Copy !req
58. Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
Copy !req
59. My fans!
Copy !req
60. It is the wrong person!
Copy !req
61. Looks like the rain's
only going to get worse.
Copy !req
62. Worse than this?
Copy !req
63. Yes...
Copy !req
64. Maybe we should just stream it
as a no-audience concert
Copy !req
65. and act like it was supposed
to be that way from the start.
Copy !req
66. We're not doing that!
Copy !req
67. It's way too late to get anyone to tune in,
Copy !req
68. and we've already got a couple people here...
Copy !req
69. I-I-I-It'll be okay!
Copy !req
70. A-As long as we have p-people
waiting to see us p-perform!
Copy !req
71. Don't you dare!
Copy !req
72. She's evolved somehow...
Copy !req
73. It's just about start time, and there's
really not many people out there...
Copy !req
74. But the other bands' fans are here too,
Copy !req
75. and I'm sure they'll all listen to us!
Copy !req
76. And I'm sure more will arrive if we start.
Copy !req
77. Hey, you ever heard of this
first group? Kessoku Band?
Copy !req
78. Don't know. Don't care.
Copy !req
79. Yeah, seems like a waste of time.
Copy !req
80. W-Well, we're new,
so of course no one knows us!
Copy !req
81. Don't let it get you down!
Copy !req
82. E-Exactly!
Copy !req
83. Don't sweat it. Don't sweat it.
Copy !req
84. R-Right!
Copy !req
85. O-Okay, it's almost time!
Copy !req
86. Let's do that concert, you guys!
Copy !req
87. A pleasure to meet you!
Copy !req
88. We're Kessoku Band!
Copy !req
89. We appreciate your kind attendance
in spite of this awful weather!
Copy !req
90. Kita-chan, that's way too polite
for a rock band!
Copy !req
91. I want my mango box!
Copy !req
92. Actually, I want to disappear altogether!
Copy !req
93. Well, let's get to that first song!
Copy !req
94. Please lend your ears to our original song:
Copy !req
95. "Guitar, Solitude, and the Blue Planet"!
Copy !req
96. A sudden evening shower falls
Copy !req
97. And yeah, it figures,
I don't have an umbrella...
Copy !req
98. Who cares how the sky's feeling, anyway?
Copy !req
99. When it's time for the seasons to change
Copy !req
100. What are you supposed to wear? Who knows?
Copy !req
101. Nijika-chan's drumming feels a little slow.
Copy !req
102. Spring and fall... yeah, where'd they go?
Copy !req
103. The pressure of information, suffocating
Copy !req
104. And Kita-san's making mistakes
she didn't make in practice.
Copy !req
105. A spiral of vertigo
Copy !req
106. Ryo-san and Nijika-chan
aren't in sync at all.
Copy !req
107. Don't know where I am
Copy !req
108. I can hear myself breathing
so loud, so loud...
Copy !req
109. But why? I can't hear the
sounds of the world...
Copy !req
110. It's not enough, not enough,
No one knows I'm here
Copy !req
111. I screamed when I couldn't
make a scribble of a sound
Copy !req
112. We're not playing the way we usually do...
Copy !req
113. Who am I supposed to show "just who I am" to?
Copy !req
114. So I'm singing just like the fool I am
Copy !req
115. Let's lay it all out to the stars!
Copy !req
116. That was "Guitar, Solitude,
and the Blue Planet"!
Copy !req
117. Yeah, what a waste of time.
Copy !req
118. We should've showed up later.
Copy !req
119. Um...
Copy !req
120. Kita-chan, you need to
introduce the next song!
Copy !req
121. R-Right!
Copy !req
122. The next is another of our original songs,
Copy !req
123. and it's one we just wrote...
Copy !req
124. Our performance and
our songs still aren't good enough.
Copy !req
125. But...
Copy !req
126. I refuse to let it stay this way!
Copy !req
127. That band's songs sound to me
Copy !req
128. like shrill laughter all around
Copy !req
129. That band's songs are to me
Copy !req
130. like the piercing clang of a railway crossing
Copy !req
131. Don't push me forward
Copy !req
132. There's a train coming
Copy !req
133. I close my eyes
Copy !req
134. There's a halo in the darkness
Copy !req
135. I cover my ears
Copy !req
136. There's a steady beating pulse within
Copy !req
137. Deep in my chest
Copy !req
138. My heart makes my body sway
Copy !req
139. I don't want to hear anything else
Copy !req
140. Nothing but the sounds I'm making
Copy !req
141. Hey, not bad!
Copy !req
142. Yeah!
Copy !req
143. That was super cool!
Copy !req
144. Yeah!
Copy !req
145. Magnificent smugface.
Copy !req
146. That was our second song, "That Band"!
Copy !req
147. Now, here's our last song!
Copy !req
148. Cheers!
Copy !req
149. Well done, all!
Copy !req
150. Nice work on the concert.
Copy !req
151. This is all on my tab, so drink up.
Copy !req
152. Thanks, Sis! Though we don't drink...
Copy !req
153. Love ya, Senpai!
Copy !req
154. You pay your own way. Get off.
Copy !req
155. Who exactly is this woman, if I may ask?
Copy !req
156. Genius bassist and unparalleled
bass-lover, Kikuri Hiroi!
Copy !req
157. I left my bass at a drinking party yesterday,
Copy !req
158. but I forgot which drinking party, so...
Copy !req
159. Instant self-contradiction.
Copy !req
160. I've been to a lot of your concerts.
Copy !req
161. Aw, for real? You got good taste, hon!
Copy !req
162. You spray booze on the audience.
Copy !req
163. Blind drunk concerts are the best!
Copy !req
164. Sorry, forgot the words!
Copy !req
165. But hey, that's how concerts go sometimes!
Copy !req
166. Don't be mad, you jerks!
Copy !req
167. I treasure my memory of
you stepping on my face.
Copy !req
168. Thank you, Shinjuku!
Copy !req
169. I love you mother******s!
Copy !req
170. There's so much about rock
I have yet to learn.
Copy !req
171. It might be okay not to learn all that.
Copy !req
172. Glad your concert turned out well in the end!
Copy !req
173. For an audience of ten, sure.
Copy !req
174. But every single one of 'em left happy!
Copy !req
175. Yeah, guess so!
Copy !req
176. Well, keep it up, and you'll pick up fans.
Copy !req
177. Work hard for your next concert.
Copy !req
178. And make sure you pay your quota fee.
Copy !req
179. That'd be really inspiring
without the last bit...
Copy !req
180. You worked really hard today too,
Bocchi-chan...
Copy !req
181. Wait, why's she a husk?
Copy !req
182. Bocchi-chan, don't turn to ash!
Copy !req
183. I've grown so tired...
Copy !req
184. Congrats! Congrats!
Copy !req
185. That's the wrong show!
Copy !req
186. Go on, order as much food as you like!
Copy !req
187. R-Right...
Copy !req
188. Watcha gettin', Bocchi-chan?
Copy !req
189. I was thinking of ordering karaage!
Copy !req
190. S-Sounds good...
Copy !req
191. What are you doing?
Copy !req
192. But this looks pretty good too!
Copy !req
193. Isstagramming!
Copy !req
194. I'm the minister!
Copy !req
195. Minister?
Copy !req
196. What do you like so much about that, anyway?
Copy !req
197. What?
Copy !req
198. I guess it's like
giving people a piece of the fun...
Copy !req
199. Isn't everything more fun when
you share it with your friends?
Copy !req
200. Kit-aura!
Copy !req
201. Nice!
Copy !req
202. Use that Kita-chan power of yours
to purge my sister's twisted spirit!
Copy !req
203. Twisted?
Copy !req
204. But the manager's really nice!
Copy !req
205. Kit-aura! Kit-aura!
Copy !req
206. Stop it.
Copy !req
207. You're killing me.
Copy !req
208. I-I've made up my mind. Here's the menu.
Copy !req
209. Thanks!
Copy !req
210. Let's see...
Copy !req
211. I'll have the avocado and
cream cheese pinchos!
Copy !req
212. And the Spanish omelette
with hollandaise sauce!
Copy !req
213. The what?
Copy !req
214. Here! The omelette with hollandaise.
Copy !req
215. Hollanda-what?
Copy !req
216. Kita-san's so fluent in trendy gibberish.
Copy !req
217. Nice! Nice!
Copy !req
218. Keep ordering!
Copy !req
219. I bet she can casually
walk into a Starpucks.
Copy !req
220. I bet she could make the most complicated
orders like it was nothing.
Copy !req
221. I'll have a short puri-puri pepero
papipupepo peroppe pacina!
Copy !req
222. Kit-aura!
Copy !req
223. Bocchi-chan? What do you want?
Copy !req
224. Oh...
Copy !req
225. I w-won't be the way I usually am!
Copy !req
226. I'll make a trendy choice too!
Copy !req
227. Bocchi-chan?
Copy !req
228. Th-Then, I'll have the M-Machu Picchu Ruins,
Copy !req
229. Mississippi River,
Grand Canyon San Diego hash...
Copy !req
230. M-Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu...
Copy !req
231. Where's that exactly?
Copy !req
232. Oh, I read it wrong...
Copy !req
233. I meant fries.
Copy !req
234. How did you read that wrong?
Copy !req
235. Pickled fish offals for me.
Copy !req
236. How old're you again?
Copy !req
237. You're already moving on?
Copy !req
238. Izakayas are like my home ground, y'know?
Copy !req
239. Hey, how do you read this one?
Copy !req
240. It's my first time at an izakaya,
Copy !req
241. Which one? I don't think
I can read it either...
Copy !req
242. but they're actually kind of fun...
Copy !req
243. You're so knowledgeable, Ryo-senpai!
Copy !req
244. I wonder if they'll be even more fun
when I grow up and can drink.
Copy !req
245. My wife's taste in clothing
changed all of a sudden.
Copy !req
246. And she suddenly started
locking her smartphone.
Copy !req
247. What, you check your wife's phone?
Copy !req
248. No, I just happened to notice.
Copy !req
249. Sounds like cheating to me.
Copy !req
250. Yeah, gotta be...
Copy !req
251. But maybe I deserve it.
Copy !req
252. I'm so busy with work every day...
Copy !req
253. You don't deserve it.
Copy !req
254. Hours of unpaid overtime, forced to spend
my days off golfing with clients...
Copy !req
255. And when I do get an early break,
I have such a hard time facing her
Copy !req
256. I go drinking with you instead...
Copy !req
257. What am I even doing all this work for?
Copy !req
258. Hey, you all right, man?
Copy !req
259. Sometimes I look at the station platform, and
I find myself about to jump onto the tracks.
Copy !req
260. C'mon, have some more to drink.
Copy !req
261. Excuse me! More shochu!
Copy !req
262. Sure thing! One shochu!
Copy !req
263. Is life just an unrelenting hell?
Copy !req
264. If I can't make my stage
debut in high school,
Copy !req
265. I'm going to have to get a proper career too.
Copy !req
266. I'm not smart enough to get into college,
Copy !req
267. and I don't even know what I'd go for...
Copy !req
268. Your sales for this month were the
lowest on the team, Gotoh-san.
Copy !req
269. Gotoh-san again?
Copy !req
270. It's partly the boss being cruel.
Copy !req
271. He transferred her to sales
to try to make her quit!
Copy !req
272. E-Excuse me...
Copy !req
273. W-Would you like to buy some tokoroten?
Copy !req
274. It's well-aged, and it goes down smooth...
Copy !req
275. No, thank you!
Copy !req
276. I see as plain as day
where my Game of Life is going!
Copy !req
277. Hitori-chan, won't you open up? Please?
Copy !req
278. You don't have to go back to work.
Copy !req
279. Just come eat dinner with me again!
Copy !req
280. Please?
Copy !req
281. Another of Bocchi-chan's episodes?
Copy !req
282. Oh, so that is typical for her!
Copy !req
283. If I can't make money with my guitar,
I'll end up a NEET.
Copy !req
284. Her face is scary when it gets like that.
Copy !req
285. If I can't make money with my guitar...
Copy !req
286. Really? I think it's got personality.
Copy !req
287. Are you for real?
Copy !req
288. Sandpaper, please.
Copy !req
289. It's kind of a chore, huh?
Copy !req
290. Whoops. Think I botched it.
Copy !req
291. It's okay.
Copy !req
292. Just do it like this. See?
Copy !req
293. They're used to it!
Copy !req
294. Up we go.
Copy !req
295. Did I make her face too long?
Copy !req
296. I think it's about right.
Copy !req
297. Oh, thank you!
Copy !req
298. A-Actually, can I fix it up a little?
Copy !req
299. By the way, Ikuyo.
Copy !req
300. You played pretty well today for only
having done this for three months.
Copy !req
301. Huh? Who's Ikuyo again?
Copy !req
302. Dunno! Who'd have a crummy
old name like that?
Copy !req
303. It's your name, isn't it?
Copy !req
304. Oh, it's Kita-chan's name?
Copy !req
305. That face is contagious, huh?
Copy !req
306. I hid it for so long!
Copy !req
307. I hate my name so much!
Copy !req
308. How come? It's cute.
Copy !req
309. You wouldn't understand,
since you have a beautiful name
Copy !req
310. that means "song of the stars"!
Copy !req
311. Look at her freak out!
Copy !req
312. But mine sounds like a bad pun!
Copy !req
313. "Kita! Ikuyo!"
Copy !req
314. Are you serious?
Copy !req
315. I think we broke her.
Copy !req
316. My full name is Kita Kita.
Copy !req
317. Seeing you withdraw into your shell is fun.
Copy !req
318. You're sadistic.
Copy !req
319. So, as for what you were saying before...
Copy !req
320. You were mumbling about supporting yourself
with the guitar and becoming a NEET.
Copy !req
321. I-I'm sorry for losing my head...
Copy !req
322. Hey, nothin' wrong with it.
Copy !req
323. But lemme give you some advice
as your senpai in the world of bands.
Copy !req
324. Just chill out and enjoy yourself!
Copy !req
325. If you put the weight of success
on your own shoulders all the time,
Copy !req
326. you'll just make yourself miserable.
Copy !req
327. That's right.
Copy !req
328. It's important to enjoy the process
of making your dream come true.
Copy !req
329. By the way, Senpai, how come
you suddenly quit playing?
Copy !req
330. Th-The manager was in a band?
Copy !req
331. Oh, yah. They were super popular.
Copy !req
332. Then wh-why...
Copy !req
333. I got sick of bands.
Copy !req
334. But you run a club.
What's the deal there, huh?
Copy !req
335. Shut up and drink.
Copy !req
336. Nijika-chan never said a word about that...
Copy !req
337. What, I can? Thanks a bunch!
Copy !req
338. Huh? And Nijika-chan's been gone a while...
Copy !req
339. I'm not paying for you, though.
Copy !req
340. Aww...
Copy !req
341. E-Excuse me.
Copy !req
342. I have to use the restroom.
Copy !req
343. Manager, keep 'em comin'!
Copy !req
344. E-Excuse me... Nijika-chan?
Copy !req
345. Oh, Bocchi-chan!
Copy !req
346. I-Is something the matter?
Copy !req
347. Nah, just getting some fresh air.
Copy !req
348. I-It's been getting cold
at night lately, huh?
Copy !req
349. Sure has.
Copy !req
350. Next thing we know,
summer break's gonna be over!
Copy !req
351. I hear nothing.
Copy !req
352. I know nothing.
Copy !req
353. Summer break never ends.
Copy !req
354. I'm not a student.
Copy !req
355. Trees, water, planets, Milky Way...
Copy !req
356. Bocchi-chan! Back to reality!
Copy !req
357. S-Sorry.
Copy !req
358. E-Excuse me...
Copy !req
359. Say...
Copy !req
360. I realized something while I was
watching you play today.
Copy !req
361. You're guitarhero, aren't you?
Copy !req
362. W-Well, a-actually, n-no, about that...
Copy !req
363. It was pretty obvious from the
on-point way you were strumming.
Copy !req
364. And I finally noticed
you had the same guitar.
Copy !req
365. No use trying to hide it now.
Copy !req
366. Um...
Copy !req
367. I am.
Copy !req
368. B-But I didn't hide it on purpose.
Copy !req
369. S-Since I'm anything but a hero right now...
Copy !req
370. I w-wanted to wait to tell you
until I fixed the way I am.
Copy !req
371. E-Especially you, Nijika-chan.
Copy !req
372. A-Are you shocked to find out?
Copy !req
373. Nah...
Copy !req
374. It made me all the more happy to have you!
Copy !req
375. What?
Copy !req
376. See, I told you I had a dream before, right?
Copy !req
377. Y-Yes?
Copy !req
378. My mom died when I was little,
and my dad was never home,
Copy !req
379. so my sister was pretty much my only family.
Copy !req
380. But since I hated being alone,
when my sis started a band,
Copy !req
381. I had her take me to her clubs all the time.
Copy !req
382. It all seemed so shining to me.
Copy !req
383. I was never happier anywhere else.
Copy !req
384. I was her inspiration for quitting her band
and starting up this club.
Copy !req
385. Starry is a place my sister made for me.
Copy !req
386. Though I'll bet she won't admit it.
Copy !req
387. So my real dream
Copy !req
388. is to make a band popular
enough for me and my sister
Copy !req
389. and make Starry even more famous!
Copy !req
390. But when I actually started my band,
Copy !req
391. I spent a while thinking that
it was kind of out of my reach.
Copy !req
392. And everyone was so disheartened today.
Copy !req
393. But every time things
are looking their worst,
Copy !req
394. you're the one who breaks through it for us!
Copy !req
395. Bocchi-chan, you were
one heck of a hero to me today.
Copy !req
396. Ryo wants to use this band to finally
get to play music from the heart,
Copy !req
397. and Kita-chan wants to really
do something with us.
Copy !req
398. They've all invested their hopes in the band.
Copy !req
399. That reminds me, you never actually told me
what you were doing the band for now.
Copy !req
400. I...
Copy !req
401. As a guitarist, I want to make the
Kessoku Band we all care so much about
Copy !req
402. the best band it can be!
Copy !req
403. A-And I want us to become such a popular band
Copy !req
404. that we can make money
and not have to finish school...
Copy !req
405. That's a pretty tall order!
Copy !req
406. But I accept your investment!
Copy !req
407. I sure do wish you could play the way
you do in your videos every time, though...
Copy !req
408. I'll d-do my best...
Copy !req
409. But now I know it for sure!
Copy !req
410. Having you with us will
make our dreams possible!
Copy !req
411. So keep showing us more and more.
Copy !req
412. Of "Bocchi-chan's rock."
Copy !req
413. Bocchi the Rock!
Copy !req
414. Okay!
Copy !req
415. What's wrong with not
letting my sound die down?
Copy !req
416. What's wrong with being young?
Copy !req
417. Hey, why doesn't it stop?
Copy !req
418. The rhythm that I can't stop
Copy !req
419. keeps reverberating through my body
Copy !req
420. The melody playing in my earphones
Copy !req
421. is the only thing that lets me be who I am
Copy !req
422. The sky is tinged in red
Copy !req
423. But what color is my soul?
Copy !req
424. Tell me
Copy !req
425. where should I go?
Copy !req
426. I've always been searching
Copy !req
427. for something precious (hey!)
Copy !req
428. If everything's going to be lost some day
Copy !req
429. let's engrave it as deep as we can (now!)
Copy !req
430. My most pathetic nights
and cackling laughter
Copy !req
431. And days when I couldn't say
more than "You know..."
Copy !req
432. What's wrong with not
letting my sound die down?
Copy !req
433. What's wrong with being young?
Copy !req
434. Watch it!
