1. And whipped cream up to the ceiling!Copy !req
2. Excuse me, girls.Copy !req
3. It's your long-awaited payday.Copy !req
4. Yay!Copy !req
5. Y-Yay.Copy !req
6. Thanks!Copy !req
7. Thank you very much.Copy !req
8. Thank you!Copy !req
9. Sure.Copy !req
10. And for you, Bocchi-chan.Copy !req
11. Th-Thank you!Copy !req
12. T-Ten thousand yen!Copy !req
13. The culmination of my blood,
sweat, and tears!Copy !req
14. What'll I spend it on?Copy !req
15. New sheet music?Copy !req
16. A big manga haul?Copy !req
17. Maybe I'll buy a cake and surprise my family!Copy !req
18. Sorry to rain on various parades,Copy !req
19. but I've gotta collect these for the concert!Copy !req
20. Lend me your ears.Copy !req
21. My new song, "A Farewell to Yukichi."Copy !req
22. I'm so sorry!Copy !req
23. I hate it too, okay?Copy !req
24. That's right.Copy !req
25. I'm sorry to you too, Kita-chan!Copy !req
26. I was doing this job thing
to pay our concert quota.Copy !req
27. Hey, it's fine!Copy !req
28. Of course, if I work hard here every month,Copy !req
29. Kessoku Band will get to play a lot,
which is just about—Copy !req
30. Wow!Copy !req
31. Does it really cost that much
to make an album?Copy !req
32. Huh?Copy !req
33. Yeah, I'd like to have them
to sell at our concerts,Copy !req
34. and shooting a music video and stuff
will cost a ton, too...Copy !req
35. We'll just have to get second jobs
during summer vacation!Copy !req
36. Yeah.Copy !req
37. Maybe we could work at
a beach house or something!Copy !req
38. I'd love to work at the beach!Copy !req
39. B-Beach?Copy !req
40. Or maybe an amusement park!Copy !req
41. It's a no-go.Copy !req
42. That would be so fun!Copy !req
43. They won't lend to minors.Copy !req
44. But perhaps, deeper in the
internet's shadier corners...Copy !req
45. I'll have to sell my liver.Copy !req
46. Bocchi.Copy !req
47. I'm s-sure I could get a loan
using my guitar as collateral,Copy !req
48. s-so please don't make me get another job!Copy !req
49. P-Please don't make me work at
the beach or an amusement park!Copy !req
50. Actually, I wrote the song.Copy !req
51. Is it just me, or is it really good?Copy !req
52. Yeah, it's great!Copy !req
53. When I read Bocchi's lyrics,
it just came to me.Copy !req
54. That's awesome!Copy !req
55. All the hard work paid off!Copy !req
56. That's my girl. There, there.Copy !req
57. S-Senpai! I'm working hard, too!Copy !req
58. Watch me!Copy !req
59. I've gotten so good at guitar!Copy !req
60. Amazing.Copy !req
61. Amazing?Copy !req
62. Please give me chin rubs, too!Copy !req
63. There, there.Copy !req
64. My dream might just come true.Copy !req
65. Okay!Copy !req
66. I'll ask Sis to let us hold
our concert here next month!Copy !req
67. You hadn't asked her yet?Copy !req
68. No worries!Copy !req
69. She let us in right away last time!Copy !req
70. Right, Sis?Copy !req
71. I'm not putting you on.Copy !req
72. Huh?Copy !req
73. Huh?Copy !req
74. I liked dark, cramped spaces,Copy !req
75. so I'd bury my face deep in my hoodCopy !req
76. My eyes resented the heartless world,Copy !req
77. but yearned for loveCopy !req
78. I liked being soaked by the rain,Copy !req
79. because my face looked better clouded overCopy !req
80. I pretended to be afraid of the stormCopy !req
81. while waiting for the sky to burstCopy !req
82. Strum through the light's distortionCopy !req
83. I want to make thunder roarCopy !req
84. Drum beyond the painCopy !req
85. What can I do? This fierce
pounding is out of controlCopy !req
86. Strum in a harmonizing quartetCopy !req
87. I want to cause a revolutionCopy !req
88. Drum in a lamenting forteCopy !req
89. What can I do? My savage
nature is beyond wildCopy !req
90. But why? We just finished our original song.Copy !req
91. Why should I care about that?Copy !req
92. Th-This feels super awkward...Copy !req
93. We can even pay our quota
if we don't bring in customers!Copy !req
94. It's not about the money.Copy !req
95. It's about your skill.Copy !req
96. But you let us play last time.Copy !req
97. I made an exception so you
could make a memory.Copy !req
98. "Make a memory"?Copy !req
99. Normally, I'd make you play first to apply.Copy !req
100. You know that, right?Copy !req
101. Yeah, but...Copy !req
102. Sorry, but I can't have a repeat
of that awful May performance.Copy !req
103. Can't have a repeat...Copy !req
104. You mean we...Copy !req
105. Just stick with it as a hobby or something.Copy !req
106. You got more to say?Copy !req
107. You can't even sleep without
stuffed animals to cuddle!Copy !req
108. Ijichi-senpai!Copy !req
109. That was a weird parting shot.Copy !req
110. Would the stuffed animals in questionCopy !req
111. be this beat-up panda and rabbit?Copy !req
112. That's cute.Copy !req
113. Delete that image! Immediately!Copy !req
114. What are you doing? We have to go after her!Copy !req
115. Don't act like it's too much trouble!Copy !req
116. You too, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
117. Let's go!Copy !req
118. R-Right!Copy !req
119. Wait, Bocchi-chan.Copy !req
120. Y-Yes?Copy !req
121. What, what, what?Copy !req
122. What, what, what?Copy !req
123. It's so obvious when you're sulking.Copy !req
124. Shut up.Copy !req
125. Senpai, are you all right?Copy !req
126. Sorry to rush out like that.Copy !req
127. She didn't have to be such
a jerk about it, you know?Copy !req
128. E-Excuse me!Copy !req
129. Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
130. E-Excuse me...Copy !req
131. M-Manager... said...Copy !req
132. She said...Copy !req
133. Bocchi-chan, breathe first!Copy !req
134. Here, Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
135. Th-Thank you.Copy !req
136. Feel better?Copy !req
137. Y-Yes.Copy !req
138. Um... The manager told me...Copy !req
139. Tell Nijika.Copy !req
140. If she wants to perform,
she needs to audition.Copy !req
141. I'll watch the performances
next Saturday and decide...Copy !req
142. What?Copy !req
143. What are you doing?Copy !req
144. I-I'm desperately attempting
to show obedience!Copy !req
145. You should probably go after them
before you lose them.Copy !req
146. W-Woof!Copy !req
147. When a dog rolls over to show its belly,Copy !req
148. some believe that's not
a show of submission,Copy !req
149. but a show of aggression.Copy !req
150. Ryo-senpai knows so much!Copy !req
151. But wait a minute...Copy !req
152. Does that mean...Copy !req
153. An audition?Copy !req
154. Yeah!Copy !req
155. And if we pass, she'll let us perform?Copy !req
156. Y-Yes.Copy !req
157. Well, why didn't she just
say so to begin with?Copy !req
158. That sister of mine is so mean!Copy !req
159. But that means we just have to work hard!Copy !req
160. Isn't that nice?Copy !req
161. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
162. You've got that "those two are the
biggest problem" look on your face.Copy !req
163. Erk!Copy !req
164. We'll record your parts in advance,
so just practice miming along!Copy !req
165. Right!Copy !req
166. No! No air guitars!Copy !req
167. We've only got a week.Copy !req
168. Don't push them so hard.Copy !req
169. Even if they suck, the passion
will come through if they try!Copy !req
170. We suck?Copy !req
171. Oh, sorry!Copy !req
172. You're really both way
better than you were.Copy !req
173. Right, Ryo?Copy !req
174. C'mon, back me up here!Copy !req
175. B-Bocchi-chan?Copy !req
176. Please don't turn into a pipe shut-in!Copy !req
177. S-Sorry for my momentary arrogance
over my success in writing lyrics.Copy !req
178. Ah, it's The Sound of Bocchi!Copy !req
179. Those with uncontrollable arrogance
deserve a life inside a dark, dank pipe.Copy !req
180. Huh?Copy !req
181. They think she isn't good?Copy !req
182. Gotoh-san?Copy !req
183. At least when I heard her at school before,Copy !req
184. even I could tell as a novice
that she's really good.Copy !req
185. C'mon, come out now!Copy !req
186. Please just come out!Copy !req
187. If I could remove myself
from your memory, I would...Copy !req
188. Was that just dumb luck before?Copy !req
189. So long as the rhythm section's strong,
it'll probably work out.Copy !req
190. Y-You think?Copy !req
191. Yeah!Copy !req
192. I don't think they need to see us
all playing on Ryo's level.Copy !req
193. Th-Then what do they need to see?Copy !req
194. Hmm... enthusiasm? Growth as a band?Copy !req
195. Growth?Copy !req
196. Gotoh-san, thank you.Copy !req
197. For practicing with me.Copy !req
198. I-It's nothing...Copy !req
199. But shouldn't we practice in a classroom
instead of this dreary place?Copy !req
200. Oh, w-well, actually...Copy !req
201. How am I supposed to practice with
all those judging eyes asking,Copy !req
202. "What's a cool girl like Kita
doing with that loser?"Copy !req
203. Oh, I get it!Copy !req
204. You don't want to bother people
by playing in a classroom!Copy !req
205. You're so considerate, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
206. She always assumes my motivations are pure!Copy !req
207. What a nice person!Copy !req
208. Hey, Gotoh-san...Copy !req
209. I've been thinking about it.Copy !req
210. I think we just need to showCopy !req
211. that we've grown as a band—
in other words, how hard we've been working.Copy !req
212. R-Right.Copy !req
213. When the time comes, I want to
be able to say I gave it my all,Copy !req
214. and that I don't have any regrets.Copy !req
215. So please stick with me until
the day of the audition!Copy !req
216. P-Please don't bow!Copy !req
217. I-I'm the one who's h-happy to be here!Copy !req
218. What's with the hair?Copy !req
219. What are we doing?Copy !req
220. "V-Visually showing our growth
as a band"... Apparently.Copy !req
221. More of Ryo's mischief?Copy !req
222. Drinking, smoking, dalliances with women,Copy !req
223. and the mop-top hairstyle...Copy !req
224. It all equals "band."Copy !req
225. You're laying it on a little thick!Copy !req
226. And no smoking or drinking
until you're twenty!Copy !req
227. Everyone say, "mop-top"!Copy !req
228. Nijika.Copy !req
229. Gotten it out of your system?Copy !req
230. We've got an opening for
"uneven bangs that hide one eyeCopy !req
231. and a perpetually annoyed expression."Copy !req
232. I'll pass, thanks.Copy !req
233. U-Um...Copy !req
234. I c-can't have dalliances with women.Copy !req
235. I d-don't think any women
would want to dally with me...Copy !req
236. Don't worry.Copy !req
237. Stand in front of VillePan in Shimo-Kitazawa,
wearing your guitar and looking listless,Copy !req
238. and someone'll come up to you
sooner or later.Copy !req
239. Cut it out!Copy !req
240. Stop misinforming her with
your subjective experience!Copy !req
241. Let's do it right!Copy !req
242. But growth isn't always visible.Copy !req
243. And the criteria is quite vague.Copy !req
244. No, it's very clear!Copy !req
245. We just need to convince Sis to take us on!Copy !req
246. Practice is the only way!Copy !req
247. Now, get changed!Copy !req
248. You too, Kita-chan!Copy !req
249. R-Right!Copy !req
250. I think I get what Ryo-san's saying, though.Copy !req
251. It's hard to know exactly
what "growth" means.Copy !req
252. Ow!Copy !req
253. I don't think it's quite the same
as effort put in.Copy !req
254. My life as of late has been a whirlwind.Copy !req
255. I started working.Copy !req
256. I've gained the ability to occasionally
look others in the eye.Copy !req
257. Your finger's looking better.Copy !req
258. But I don't think that's the same thing
as growing as a band.Copy !req
259. I've just evolved past the
water flea or euglena stageCopy !req
260. and now stand at the starting line
of basic humanity.Copy !req
261. I thought finally starting
the band I dreamed aboutCopy !req
262. would be growth in itself, but...Copy !req
263. I...Copy !req
264. Okay, let's call it a day.Copy !req
265. Already?Copy !req
266. Yeah.Copy !req
267. Get a good night's rest
for the audition tomorrow.Copy !req
268. See you.Copy !req
269. Great work, all!Copy !req
270. Bocchi-chan!Copy !req
271. Sorry, sorry!Copy !req
272. Didn't mean to startle you.Copy !req
273. I-It's okay.Copy !req
274. Cola, right?Copy !req
275. Wh-Wh-What? Yes?Copy !req
276. Here!Copy !req
277. Th-Thank you.Copy !req
278. Sorry if I forced you to go along with this.Copy !req
279. I mean, you kind of just got roped into
joining Kessoku Band from the start, right?Copy !req
280. I remember you saying...Copy !req
281. you'd been wanting
to be part of a band,Copy !req
282. but I never actually asked you what
kind of band you wanted to be in,Copy !req
283. or what your reasons were
for playing in this band now.Copy !req
284. Oh, well...Copy !req
285. Should I tell her I started because
I wanted people going crazy for me?Copy !req
286. Everyone's got their own reasons, right?Copy !req
287. It's not like performing live
is the only way to go now.Copy !req
288. You can always post videos and stuff nowadays
if what you want is to get your sound out there.Copy !req
289. It's true.Copy !req
290. I like uploading as guitarhero too,Copy !req
291. and I have to admit that the
online world suits me well...Copy !req
292. See... I've got this kind of goal.
A dream, really.Copy !req
293. So I can get a little fired up
without realizing it.Copy !req
294. So... I worry I might have dragged you
into this against your will.Copy !req
295. N-N-Not at all!Copy !req
296. It's n-n-not against my will at all!Copy !req
297. Really? That's good.Copy !req
298. The reason you wanted a band...Copy !req
299. It's to get famous and perform
at the Budokan, right?Copy !req
300. My real dream is actually a little past that.Copy !req
301. But I can't tell you just yet!Copy !req
302. Anyway, see you tomorrow!Copy !req
303. I spent all night thinking about my reasonCopy !req
304. for playing in this band now.Copy !req
305. We're Kessoku Band.Copy !req
306. We're going to play our song,
"Guitar, Solitude, and the Blue Planet"!Copy !req
307. I do still want to become popularCopy !req
308. and have everyone go crazy for me...Copy !req
309. But now... it's not just for me.Copy !req
310. It's the four of us!Copy !req
311. A sudden evening shower fallsCopy !req
312. And yeah, it figures,
I don't have an umbrella...Copy !req
313. Who cares how the sky's feeling, anyway?Copy !req
314. When it's time for the seasons to changeCopy !req
315. I never figured out what
it means to have "growth."Copy !req
316. What are you supposed to wear? Who knows?Copy !req
317. Spring and fall... yeah, where'd they go?Copy !req
318. But right now, what I wantCopy !req
319. is to stay with this band and
have people go crazy for us!Copy !req
320. The pressure of information, suffocatingCopy !req
321. A spiral of vertigoCopy !req
322. I want to make Nijika-chan's
actual dream come true.Copy !req
323. Don't know where I amCopy !req
324. I can hear myself breathing
so loud, so loud...Copy !req
325. So... I can't afford to blow this audition!Copy !req
326. But why? I can't hear the
sounds of the world...Copy !req
327. I don't want the band to end just yet!Copy !req
328. It's not enough, not enough,
No one knows I'm hereCopy !req
329. I screamed when I couldn't
make a scribble of a soundCopy !req
330. Who am I supposed to show "just who I am" to?Copy !req
331. So I'm singing just like the fool I amCopy !req
332. Let's lay it all out to the stars!Copy !req
333. Thank you for having us!Copy !req
334. Thank you for having us!Copy !req
335. Pretty good.Copy !req
336. Or so I'd like to say, but...Copy !req
337. Drums, you're too tense.Copy !req
338. Guitars, you're both looking down too much.Copy !req
339. Bass, you're too holed up
in your own little world.Copy !req
340. Still... I think I know what
kind of band you are now.Copy !req
341. Thank you... for the feedback.Copy !req
342. Huh? What's with that reaction?Copy !req
343. W-Well... I mean...Copy !req
344. I'm saying, I learned what
kind of band you are!Copy !req
345. This is the part where you cheer.Copy !req
346. I think she's saying you passed.Copy !req
347. That's what I said! You passed!Copy !req
348. Sis, you're so misleading!Copy !req
349. Y-You mean... we did it?Copy !req
350. We did it!Copy !req
351. She says we passed!Copy !req
352. Yes!Copy !req
353. We really did it?Copy !req
354. Yes!Copy !req
355. Ryo, did you catch it?Copy !req
356. Gotoh-san, we did it!Copy !req
357. Y-Yes!Copy !req
358. It hasn't been long, but Bocchi-chan's
playing is so different.Copy !req
359. Gotoh-san!Copy !req
360. Yes!Copy !req
361. You were really incredible there, Gotoh-san.Copy !req
362. E-Excuse me, Kita-san!Copy !req
363. Gotoh-san?Copy !req
364. Gotoh-san?Copy !req
365. Did we just imagine that performance?Copy !req
366. Need a glass of water?Copy !req
367. S-Sorry.Copy !req
368. Too many new things at once put
my stomach acid into overdrive...Copy !req
369. Hey, you're okay!Copy !req
370. Of course your stomach's
freaked out a little!Copy !req
371. I can't believe we passed!Copy !req
372. I knew it from the start.Copy !req
373. I've even thought up our next song.Copy !req
374. Awesome!Copy !req
375. That's my senpai!Copy !req
376. Well, easy to say after it's done.Copy !req
377. Let's all take a picture!Copy !req
378. C-Can't I clean the floor first?Copy !req
379. She really is good.Copy !req
380. But she's so inexperienced
playing with a teamCopy !req
381. that her lack of self-confidence
holds her back.Copy !req
382. She could grow even more.Copy !req
383. Huh?Copy !req
384. Has the manager been making
eye contact with me?Copy !req
385. To give her confidence,Copy !req
386. she needs to know someone out there
acknowledges her talent.Copy !req
387. She's looking at me! Is she mad?Copy !req
388. Because I let victory make me arrogant?Copy !req
389. Hey, kid.Copy !req
390. I see you, okay?Copy !req
391. She's watching me!Copy !req
392. Hey, Gotoh-san!Copy !req
393. Let's take our picture!Copy !req
394. It's over.Copy !req
395. Manager.Copy !req
396. Admit it. You liked them from the start.Copy !req
397. C'mon, you've been keeping a window open
in the concert schedule for them.Copy !req
398. Why tease them like that?Copy !req
399. I wasn't teasing.Copy !req
400. I just didn't want to put them on
until they were ready.Copy !req
401. But while they're still
rough around the edges,Copy !req
402. I think they've got something.Copy !req
403. As her sister, I need to be hard on her
to make sure her band grows.Copy !req
404. Is this what they call a sister complex?Copy !req
405. One more word about that, and you're fired.Copy !req
406. Right.Copy !req
407. Okay! Let's work even harder to level up
our band in the lead-up to the concert!Copy !req
408. Right!Copy !req
409. Bocchi, I'm looking forward
to the new lyrics.Copy !req
410. R-Right!Copy !req
411. Isn't this getting exciting, Gotoh-san?Copy !req
412. Y-Yes!Copy !req
413. Th-That's right! It's not over at all!Copy !req
414. In fact, Kessoku Band's journey
is just getting started!Copy !req
415. Now, since the ticket quota is twenty at
1,500 yen each, that means we each sell five!Copy !req
416. Five-ticket quota...Copy !req
417. Five-ticket quota?Copy !req
418. Five tickets, right?Copy !req
419. Got it!Copy !req
420. Five-ticket quota?Copy !req
421. Father...Copy !req
422. My daughter's inscribing
her name into rock history...Copy !req
423. Mother...Copy !req
424. I'll cook some red rice!Copy !req
425. Sister...Copy !req
426. You're awesome, Sis!Copy !req
427. Dog...Copy !req
428. Woof!Copy !req
429. Rock! Red rice! Awesome! Woof!Copy !req
430. Father, mother, sister, dog!Copy !req
431. Rock! Red rice! Awesome! Woof!Copy !req
432. Father, mother, sister, dog!Copy !req
433. Rock! Red rice! Awesome! Woof!Copy !req
434. Father, mother, sister, dog!Copy !req
435. Rock! Red rice! Awesome! Woof!Copy !req
436. Father, mother, sister, dog!Copy !req
437. I-I... I h-have one left over!Copy !req
