1. We can blame it all on the weatherCopy !req
2. All this awkwardness and exhaustionCopy !req
3. The sun hides away, pretending not to seeCopy !req
4. A packed train clatters along the trackCopy !req
5. It brushes past a local expressCopy !req
6. I'm gonna search for feelings
in a shapeless cloudCopy !req
7. The test asks, "How was
the author feeling here?"Copy !req
8. What could the right answer possibly be?Copy !req
9. Breaking through the script
of pre-established harmonyCopy !req
10. Everyone talks about the
"springtime of life"Copy !req
11. And I'm just not cut out for thatCopy !req
12. Yet I know that this moment,
which will never come again,Copy !req
13. is rich with evanescenceCopy !req
14. I will never forget, everCopy !req
15. So many times before I die someday...Copy !req
16. I'll laugh thinking about what it was likeCopy !req
17. I feel like the wind's leaving me behindCopy !req
18. So I'm desperately clinging onCopy !req
19. That familiar sound of the bellCopy !req
20. That dust piled up on the window sillCopy !req
21. Even the smell of the classroomCopy !req
22. I will never forget, everCopy !req
23. So many times before I die someday...Copy !req
24. I'll laugh thinking about what it was likeCopy !req
25. Thank you!Copy !req
26. That was our first song,
"I Will Never Forget!"Copy !req
27. I can't believe how enthusiastic they are.Copy !req
28. Kita-chan!Copy !req
29. But...Copy !req
30. You were so cute!Copy !req
31. Now, before we play our next song...Copy !req
32. Let's have a few words from
Kessoku Band's leader:Copy !req
33. our drummer and my senpai, Nijika Ijichi!Copy !req
34. Nice to meet you, everyone!Copy !req
35. Are you having a good time?Copy !req
36. They've worked pretty hard.Copy !req
37. Yeah...Copy !req
38. But Bocchi-chan...Copy !req
39. Our esteemed bassist, Ryo Yamada,Copy !req
40. told me that any MCing I did for
Kessoku Band would be a flop,Copy !req
41. and at first I thought, "How dare you!"Copy !req
42. But until I learn to be
entertaining with this stuff,Copy !req
43. I figured I'd stick to concert announcements!Copy !req
44. Of course, I don't actually know
when our next concert'll be...Copy !req
45. But if you wanna see more,
just hit up our vocalist, Kita-chan,Copy !req
46. Kita-chan!Copy !req
47. or our guitarist, Bo—
Hitori Gotoh, when you can!Copy !req
48. Hitori-chan!Copy !req
49. Anyway, let's move on to the next song!Copy !req
50. Right!Copy !req
51. Please lend us your ears!Copy !req
52. Our next song is
"To Become a Constellation..."!Copy !req
53. The time's almost sixCopy !req
54. The evening star's already out thereCopy !req
55. Walking home, stepping on shadowsCopy !req
56. I'm hoping to blend into the nightCopy !req
57. Yeah, something's not right.Copy !req
58. Lucky you, lucky youCopy !req
59. It's been fine this whole time,Copy !req
60. Must be nice to have everyone love youCopy !req
61. but now I can't get the E string in tune...Copy !req
62. "No, I've always been alone."Copy !req
63. If only I could become
a constellation with you...Copy !req
64. On a night of falling stars,
I make that moment's wishCopy !req
65. The E string!Copy !req
66. Not good...Copy !req
67. But if I can at least get
the B string in tune...Copy !req
68. A sparkling, twinkling,
trembling signal up highCopy !req
69. The peg's broken!Copy !req
70. She can't use the B string now.Copy !req
71. She won't be able to do her solo.Copy !req
72. If only I could become
a constellation with you...Copy !req
73. What'll I do?Copy !req
74. My solo's coming up...Copy !req
75. The kind that people point to in the skyCopy !req
76. If our big culture festival performance
fails because I had equipment trouble...Copy !req
77. Don't let these lines
that link us come undoneCopy !req
78. What do I do?Copy !req
79. What do I do, what do I do,
what do I do, what do I do?Copy !req
80. No matter how brightly I shineCopy !req
81. Kita-san...Copy !req
82. She's ad-libbing completely on the fly!Copy !req
83. I'm going to make sure everyone can see...Copy !req
84. how amazingly cool Gotoh-san really is!Copy !req
85. What's their guitarist doing?Copy !req
86. Dunno, but it's pretty awesome!Copy !req
87. Who whips out the bottleneck
playing at a time like this?Copy !req
88. Now it won't matter
if she's a little out of tune!Copy !req
89. We met each other, so far awayCopy !req
90. And because it's our karma,
we'll meet again and againCopy !req
91. In the gaps between the cloudsCopy !req
92. If only I could become
a constellation with you...Copy !req
93. As night falls, I dream that unlikely dreamCopy !req
94. Not quite a full moonCopy !req
95. But still lighting up the darkCopy !req
96. I want to become a constellation with youCopy !req
97. The kind that puts out many-colored lightCopy !req
98. I won't let these lines
that link us come undoneCopy !req
99. No matter how brightly you shineCopy !req
100. Well... I wasn't going to
say anything before our last song,Copy !req
101. but please let me say one thing!Copy !req
102. Thanks so much for having us today!Copy !req
103. We're gonna try our best
to become so good,Copy !req
104. that one day you'll brag
about having seen us here!Copy !req
105. Awesome!Copy !req
106. Budokan-bound!Copy !req
107. You were great, Whatever-san!Copy !req
108. You did good
even when your string broke!Copy !req
109. Hey, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
110. Looks like you've gotta say something!Copy !req
111. P-People with social anxiety can't talk
without a pre-arranged script!Copy !req
112. If you put me in this unplanned situation...Copy !req
113. Say something funny. Something funny.Copy !req
114. Something... Something... funny...Copy !req
115. Gotoh-san?Copy !req
116. Gotoh-san?Copy !req
117. You okay, Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
118. Someone call a teacher!Copy !req
119. You're a legendary rock star!Copy !req
120. Bocchi-chan rocks!Copy !req
121. At least show a little concern!Copy !req
122. Seriously!Copy !req
123. Someone bring a stretcher!Copy !req
124. Hitori! You okay?Copy !req
125. I'm sorry about my sister.Copy !req
126. H-Hey, it's fine!Copy !req
127. It's all over.Copy !req
128. Are you all right, Gotoh-san?Copy !req
129. Are you conscious?Copy !req
130. Y-Yeah...Copy !req
131. Thank goodness.Copy !req
132. Looks like it wasn't too bad.Copy !req
133. Um...Copy !req
134. I'm really sorry I ruined everything.Copy !req
135. After all you did...Copy !req
136. Actually, I think people liked it even more.Copy !req
137. Um... Where are the others?Copy !req
138. They're cleaning up now.Copy !req
139. They said we'd have an after-party
if you were feeling well enough.Copy !req
140. But if you aren't, we can save it for later.Copy !req
141. R-Right...Copy !req
142. Oh, that was a surprise.Copy !req
143. Kita-san. You got so good so fast.Copy !req
144. Only for rhythm, of course.Copy !req
145. Um...Copy !req
146. I can't do the kind of playing
that really draws people in.Copy !req
147. But I seem to be pretty good
at the give-and-take with you guys.Copy !req
148. I'm gonna keep working on my playing,
so please keep teaching me.Copy !req
149. Gotoh-sa—Copy !req
150. Hitori-chan.Copy !req
151. R-Right!Copy !req
152. Okay, I'm off!Copy !req
153. Come by when you're ready!Copy !req
154. R-Right...Copy !req
155. I'm going to become good enough
to support Hitori-chan.Copy !req
156. The 31st Annual Shuka High School
Culture Festival will now come to an end.Copy !req
157. After-party! After-party!Copy !req
158. I hope Bocchi-chan's okay...Copy !req
159. Hey, it's the stage diver.Copy !req
160. Oh, the crazy rocker chick?Copy !req
161. Some day...Copy !req
162. Some day, I will quit high school!Copy !req
163. Forgive me, Father!Copy !req
164. What're you doing, Sis?Copy !req
165. I broke the guitar Dad lent me
while we were playing!Copy !req
166. P-Please, get up! I'm really not mad!Copy !req
167. Please?Copy !req
168. It's just a broken peg, right?Copy !req
169. It's really not that big a deal.Copy !req
170. But...Copy !req
171. Plus, it was pretty rad the way
you broke it in the middle of the concert!Copy !req
172. Nowadays, they sell guitars
designed to break.Copy !req
173. You should use one of those in your next gig!Copy !req
174. What kind of daughter
are you trying to raise?Copy !req
175. Anyway, this is probably a good opportunity
for you to buy your own guitar.Copy !req
176. Play with me, Dad!Copy !req
177. What a good idea!Copy !req
178. C'mon, Dad!Copy !req
179. That way, if you hit an issue like this again,
you can deal with it right away.Copy !req
180. But... Even though I do have a job,
all the money goes to my quotas.Copy !req
181. I can't afford...Copy !req
182. No worries!Copy !req
183. You've got money!Copy !req
184. Wh-Where'd it all come from?Copy !req
185. Dad, are you involved
in some shady dealings?Copy !req
186. I c-can't accept your dirty money!Copy !req
187. We're not that badly off!Copy !req
188. That's money you earned from
advertisements on your videos.Copy !req
189. See, if a video gets enough views,
they pay you.Copy !req
190. Did you forget the video site account
you use is a family account?Copy !req
191. You mean, my videos...Copy !req
192. We know all about 'em!Copy !req
193. guitarhero, right?Copy !req
194. They've been racking up the views,
so I monetized 'em in secret.Copy !req
195. How'd my girl get so good?Copy !req
196. I figured you'd need the money eventually.Copy !req
197. And it's been amazing
to see you work so hardCopy !req
198. and get better and better at the guitar.Copy !req
199. Right, dear?Copy !req
200. Yes.Copy !req
201. I don't know much about music,Copy !req
202. but I do think you're amazing at it!Copy !req
203. Dad... Mom...Copy !req
204. Of course, it's balanced outCopy !req
205. by my sadness at seeing you
get better and better at lying...Copy !req
206. Barf!Copy !req
207. There's 300,000 yen here.Copy !req
208. I never imagined getting such a windfall.Copy !req
209. If I buy a guitar that costs 100k,
I'll have 200k left...Copy !req
210. And if I put that all to quota costs,Copy !req
211. I could play for almost two years
without having to work a normal job!Copy !req
212. Yes!Copy !req
213. I'm totally quitting!Copy !req
214. Bocchi-chan's been unusually chipper today.Copy !req
215. And she bows at me
every time we make eye contact.Copy !req
216. The thought of quitting my job fills me
with a mysterious and overwhelming power!Copy !req
217. Time to talk to the manager now!Copy !req
218. Ultra super Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
219. What's this about your job?Copy !req
220. I... W-Well... S-See...Copy !req
221. I'll continue to work my hardest
and most earnestly at it.Copy !req
222. What's with the sudden
declaration of commitment?Copy !req
223. There's nothing harder than
declaring you're gonna quit a job.Copy !req
224. Maybe I should ghost them...Copy !req
225. But they do know where I li—
Uh, I mean, I don't want to put them out...Copy !req
226. Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
227. You're going to the
music shop today, right?Copy !req
228. Maybe if I buy an instrument
for the manager, she'll let me quit!Copy !req
229. I've got lots of money now, after all!Copy !req
230. Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
231. H-Hey... Could you ask the manager
if there's anything she wants?Copy !req
232. Bocchi-chan asked that.Copy !req
233. Since your birthday's coming up,
maybe she's talking about a present?Copy !req
234. I don't want anything.Copy !req
235. She says no thanks!Copy !req
236. I'm finished.Copy !req
237. Bocchi. I'd like a Dingwall and new Le Fay
headless and a Darkglass amp head.Copy !req
238. We're heading to the music shop, everyone!Copy !req
239. Let's la go!Copy !req
240. Bocchi-chan's really nice.Copy !req
241. Have fun!Copy !req
242. But I prefer my presents to be a surprise.Copy !req
243. If you wanna buy an instrument,
you gotta go to Ochanomizu!Copy !req
244. Hey, Hitori-chan!Copy !req
245. Do you know why there are
so many music shops here?Copy !req
246. Well, you see...Copy !req
247. The music business flourished here
due to it playing host in the Meiji PeriodCopy !req
248. to Japan's oldest professional orchestra,
leading to the formationCopy !req
249. of now-legacy stores in Ochanomizu
like Shimokura Music,Copy !req
250. Ishibashi Music, and etc etc,
blah blah, yada yada...Copy !req
251. I bet we'll be seeing a lot of this today.Copy !req
252. Let's go in here! It's got a great selection!Copy !req
253. I'd really rather not.Copy !req
254. I was gonna just buy one online, but...Copy !req
255. Ordering online is fine and all,Copy !req
256. but you really oughta handle
a guitar before you buy it!Copy !req
257. R-Right...Copy !req
258. Music store owners are scary,
and if one were to start talking to me...Copy !req
259. You like that guitar?
You got good taste, dearie.Copy !req
260. You like Western music?Copy !req
261. Wait, you don't?Copy !req
262. Time to die!Copy !req
263. If I put on headphones
like I'm listening to music,Copy !req
264. maybe no one will talk to me!Copy !req
265. M-Manager! A major headbanger
has entered the store!Copy !req
266. Must be a hardcore metal fan!Copy !req
267. Ma'am! The heavy metal guitars
are on the second floor!Copy !req
268. What a cute strap!Copy !req
269. This color would look great
with your guitar, Kita-chan!Copy !req
270. Look at all the kinds of picks!Copy !req
271. Maybe I'll turn some into earrings!Copy !req
272. What a great idea!Copy !req
273. What's the matter, ma'am? Ma'am?Copy !req
274. Can we stop by a hobby shop after this?Copy !req
275. Plus, I checked in advance and found out
there's a nice café nearby!Copy !req
276. Ma'am?Copy !req
277. Look at the damn instruments.Copy !req
278. Excuse me.Copy !req
279. Can I try out this bass?Copy !req
280. Go ahead.Copy !req
281. You're buying another, Senpai?Copy !req
282. No.Copy !req
283. I just like how it looks,
so I'd like to play it a bit.Copy !req
284. Ah, is slapping okay?Copy !req
285. Yes, that's fine.Copy !req
286. Like this.Copy !req
287. Is she going to do that?Copy !req
288. Amazing.Copy !req
289. I didn't even go that hard.Copy !req
290. What a great bass!Copy !req
291. When you go all-out but act smug about it!Copy !req
292. Not that I mind.Copy !req
293. What is it, Ikuyo?Copy !req
294. You like that guitar?Copy !req
295. No, it's not like that...Copy !req
296. I've still got the guitar
you lent me, after all!Copy !req
297. You can never have too many guitars.Copy !req
298. They're all having so much fun.Copy !req
299. Is this the lonely drummer thing
I see in manga all the time?Copy !req
300. M-Maybe I'll buy a guitar and a bass myself!Copy !req
301. Just to play, darn it!Copy !req
302. I see. Were you feeling lonely?Copy !req
303. Let's hit up a drum shop next time!Copy !req
304. There's one in Akiba.Copy !req
305. This one's cool...Copy !req
306. Yamaha's pretty great, huh?Copy !req
307. That one's custom-made, too.Copy !req
308. It's a really great guitar,
especially for the price!Copy !req
309. Would you like to try it out?Copy !req
310. Um... Um...Copy !req
311. If it's your first guitar, you might
want shielding and a mini amp!Copy !req
312. I...Copy !req
313. I'll take the lot.Copy !req
314. You already have that stuff, Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
315. Oh, you already play? I'm so sorry!Copy !req
316. Hey, that's okay.Copy !req
317. Her guitar broke recently,Copy !req
318. so she's looking for a replacement.Copy !req
319. Right, Hitori-chan?Copy !req
320. Lots of people have multiples nowadays.
Even students!Copy !req
321. Oh, really?Copy !req
322. You like this guitar, Hitori-chan?Copy !req
323. Right. Right.Copy !req
324. She'll take this guitar, please!Copy !req
325. Right, Hitori-chan?Copy !req
326. Thank you so much!Copy !req
327. Bocchi's like a ventriloquist dummy.Copy !req
328. I thought she'd matured a lot lately,Copy !req
329. But I guess she still
has some ways to go.Copy !req
330. I'm so glad.Copy !req
331. I've been doing checks and
maintenance on this guitar myself.Copy !req
332. It's really well made. I like it a lot.Copy !req
333. I'm sure the guitar's happy
that it's going with you, too.Copy !req
334. Thank you for coming!Copy !req
335. Th-Thank you for having me!Copy !req
336. M-Ma'am?Copy !req
337. You forgot your guitar!Copy !req
338. How desperate was she to get out of here?Copy !req
339. Here!Copy !req
340. The manager wants you
to come by again some time.Copy !req
341. R-Right. Sorry...Copy !req
342. I'm really glad you found a good guitar!Copy !req
343. R-Right.Copy !req
344. What now? Wanna grab food first?Copy !req
345. We're done.Copy !req
346. Got something else to do?Copy !req
347. Bocchi. You want to play your guitar
as soon as possible, right?Copy !req
348. Hey! Stop having a telepathic
connection, you two!Copy !req
349. Hey, it's no big deal.Copy !req
350. I know!Copy !req
351. Want to rent a studio
and try out your new guitar?Copy !req
352. Ah, I'd rather not...Copy !req
353. We'll all get to practice
together tomorrow, anyway.Copy !req
354. We'll save the fun for then!Copy !req
355. R-Right.Copy !req
356. The culture festival is behind us.Copy !req
357. We'd better start thinking
about our next concert, right?Copy !req
358. That's right!Copy !req
359. Write us lots of new songs, Ryo!Copy !req
360. Just waiting for inspiration to strike.Copy !req
361. Let me know if there's anything I can do!Copy !req
362. Anything?Copy !req
363. Kita-chan! Don't say that to Ryo
unless you're ready to follow through!Copy !req
364. You can start by treating me to gyudon.Copy !req
365. Sis! Hurry up or you'll be late!Copy !req
366. A-Awesome...Copy !req
367. I'm s-sorry! I haven't f-forgotten you!Copy !req
368. Forgive me!Copy !req
369. She's at it again.Copy !req
370. Be back later.Copy !req
371. Another day at the job.Copy !req
372. Thank you!Copy !req
