Fuh.
Beep!
Ah.
Were you seriously planning to go help?
What?
That's just strange, isn't it?
They didn't even do anything.
Why would they do that?
That's just how bullying works.
Maybe it's because of a bad attitude or because they stared at them.
But they were looking at us.
They wanted help.
At that time, we were the only ones there.
If you tell, I won't be able to take your side, Nina.
If you try to stop them, they'll target you next.
Then what will happen to Anko?
I don't know.
She'll either manage and get through it, or she'll stop coming to school.
Maybe a teacher will notice and stop it.
Are you just going to do nothing until then?
Why are you so nonchalant?
It's frustrating.
Though I have to admit, it's annoying me too.
I just don't like it!
I get what you're saying, Hina.
But it's still strange.
It's weird that what's wrong is being considered right.
I can't just stay silent.
Inner voice... yeah.
Was it a dream? Oh, today is the day to go to the office, isn't it?
Oh no, I overslept. There's still so much to do.
Before we become something unreliable, it's okay to depend on those hands, and to extend your own hand.
There’s no way nothing will change, reach out your hand.
Okay.
In a rough and overwhelmed voice, crying in silence, footprints are now
Drowning someone’s voice, no matter when,
It never withers away.
The muddy water in Miyashita Town is cold.
How long will we live today?
It's ridiculous but it can't be helped, we have already started walking.
Our town is absurd, unbelievable, hopeless, but despite this long stretch, we managed to escape this world, escaping with tears.
Look, look, look, blowing again, it's like it again.
Illuminate the unavoidable darkness, it's not a dream, forget the clock, don’t want to give up wrongly, don’t fit in tightly.
Still, there are things left undone in this world, carrying us before becoming something, it's okay to start relying, those hands are your own.
There’s no way nothing will change, reach out your hand.
Beep beep beep!
I’ll say it clearly.
We haven’t even said half of what we expected.
Of course.
It's impossible that only the subscriptions would increase, despite the playback counts on the video side.
How does Miura-san perceive it?
The biggest issue is that the level of exposure and recognition has significantly increased compared to before.
The numbers look pretty good, even when looking at the search volumes.
If this many people are searching, the track should see some movement accordingly.
That means it doesn't exist, right?
It's the responsibility of the office.
It means that the advertisement is not going well, doesn't it?
I'm sorry.
No, that's not what I meant to say.
We're living in an era where individuals can broadcast their voices so easily.
Even talent agencies can’t just sit back and relax.
If there are no benefits, the artist will abandon it.
Right?
That's right.
Give me a little more time.
I'll come up with a plan.
I've never seen Miura like that before.
He was definitely different.
What?
Where's Momoka?
Sorry.
She said she was leaving.
What, she went home?
Weren't we supposed to practice after this?
It's fine.
Let's call it off for today.
Yeah.
Huh?
Momoka definitely noticed.
Of course she did.
What?
You're really dense, you know.
What do you mean?
You just said that.
The name is getting around, but the music isn't gaining traction.
So, in other words.
It means there's a problem with the song.
Huh?
Miura-san stopped Momoka-san because she was about to say that herself.
Why?
No, that’s not it, because it would hurt Momoka's feelings.
It's just the beginning!
It's such a great song.
Everyone was praising you a lot, right?
Both Miura-san and Nakata-san!
If it could sell just like that, no one would have a hard time.
But!
That's the one about how only one of Van Gogh's paintings was sold during his lifetime.
But.
In the end, people are swayed by information.
Even if I'm not interested, I'll check out things that everyone says are good.
I don't look at what no one else is paying attention to.
That's ridiculous.
Can you say no?
If there were two gameplay videos of the same game, one with 500 views and the other with 1 million views, which one would you watch, Nina?
Yeah.
Stop it!
It's embarrassing.
I understand.
The band that kept picking fights they couldn't win.
I really can't stand how full of themselves these guys are.
Losers, just disappear!
Takahashi-kun!
Don't mess with me!
You didn't even bother listening properly!
I'm not really losing to you guys!
It has nothing to do with you guys!
Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down.
The number of pinch-hitters on the first day of Placenta's two-day run is sold out.
That's true.
Hmm?
Follow request, Hina?
Huh?
There is also an official mark.
Yes.
Sigh.
Hey.
Bacca watches.
Long time no see.
Is it okay?
You don't even need to disguise yourself.
It's not that famous.
I still love you, you know.
There.
We often ate together on the way back from school, didn't we?
I'll pay for it.
Sure, it's on me.
Ah.
What do you want?
About what?
I just thought there might be some misunderstanding.
What?
You know, I told you before, it's not like I intentionally became the vocalist for Daidas, I auditioned for it.
Oh, I see.
That happened after we already cut ties.
Nina hasn't been coming to school anymore.
What?
Are you here to brag?
This happened because you didn't do as I told you.
If you had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened.
I want to say that's correct, but half of it is wrong.
The tickets aren't selling, are they?
That's none of your business.
I think it does matter since we're doing a live show together.
We're not together!
Mr. Miura from Nina's office came to our place to consult with us.
Isn't there something we can do about it?
Mr. Miura?
If we end up going on either day, there will probably be tickets available, so I want to keep both days reserved.
Honestly, less than 30% of your live show's capacity has been sold.
The schedule is open, so the decision is entirely up to us.
That's why I thought I'd hear what Nina and the others think about it first.
What should we do?
Not really.
When you say "never mind," does it mean not to do unnecessary things?
Or maybe it's about being thankful?
Hmph.
Can you hear me?
The fact that this is selling is important and significant.
Why don't you just admit your half-heartedness?
Hina said that I was wrong and that she was right.
I should have listened to you.
You're going to live with everything exposed, right?
If you say you made a mistake, I'll help you as much as you need.
I'm going home!
Money!
Thank you for the meal!
Hello, sorry to call you out like this.
Not at all.
What's more important than that?
No.
I already talked to everyone a little while ago.
I heard that DaDas reached out to see if they could do a joint performance on both days.
He wants to compete normally in front of the same customers.
Did you hear from Miura-san about that?
Is that so? Is something wrong?
No.
What does Nina think?
What about everyone else?
Of course.
Something that originally wasn't even a contest will become a bit more fair, so isn't that good?
But from now on, regardless of the competition, it will be thanks to Daidas that customers come in.
Isn't that basically admitting that we've already lost?
Is Nina against it? Yes, she doesn't like it.
It has begun.
I understand how Nina feels, but...
I don't want to.
Absolutely not!
What do you think I've been through to get this far?
Momoka is not wrong.
Momoka's song will make it, right? You're going to prove that, aren't you?
Because I believe in that, I've come this far!
But.
Reality doesn't allow that.
The current concert ticket sales haven't even reached 30%.
It's worse than when they were indie.
So what?!
Are you saying you'll take responsibility? Do you have any idea how much money is at stake?
Money.
It's not just the venue fee.
They're even making merchandise, anticipating sales.
Advertising isn't free, you know.
The only thing we can do is to think about reducing the damage as much as possible.
It's all my fault.
Sorry.
Ah.
Does that mean we have to bow our heads even to the tire stand?
It's not like I'm putting down Adidas or anything.
That's right.
You're saying that you'll go along with their proposal, right?
Putting it down!
Do you really think Daidas would make such a suggestion?
What do you mean?
Of course it is.
Miura-san bowed her head and asked earnestly.
Would you do it together with me?
Please help me.
Is that so?
How do you know that?
I came to tell you.
Hina told me to admit that I was wrong.
Then I'll help you as much as you need.
I don't want to say it.
But I'm not wrong!
Nina.
So don't bow your head!
Please don't deny the person I was back then!
Akane, I know it's my gloomy responsibility!
Happy, happy! Frustrated, frustrated!
Like the world!!
Are you okay, Nina-nina?
How insignificant I am.
*sob* *sob* *sob* *sob*.
Those guys did it?
I told you, I can't take your side.
Was what I did really that bad?
I always felt it when I was talking with Nina.
Wielding the thorn of justice, inflicting war wounds on everyone.
I feel like I'm starting to look like the bad guy.
Is that a complete break?
Yes.
This is a truly typical Shinna episode.
So, what happened to the child who was being bullied?
That's the strange part, but after a little while, they started bullying me along with those kids.
And then they whisper.
Apologize to those kids.
Because I'm sure you'll forgive me.
Then I wouldn't have to do things like this.
What the hell is that?
But I was trembling.
I was scared of those kids.
But you were saved, right?
Aren't you the benefactor?
So that's why you couldn't go to school.
Yes.
Because I'm not wrong.
You're wrong!
No matter how you look at it, you're wrong!
Tomochan.
But that's just how it is!
That girl named Hina is absolutely right, no matter how you look at it!
But you know, but...
That's why I think I was rejected.
I like your singing voice.
Probably Rupa, Momoka, and Subaru too.
Tomochan.
Oh, stop it, that's enough!
You don't like that kind of thing?
The conclusion is in.
But Miura-san and the others have worked so hard.
I need to take responsibility.
Seriously?!
But somehow, I feel like I had imagined it would turn out this way from the beginning.
It's this guy, after all.
Yeah, because it's Nina.
That's awful!
Hehe.
No way?
Yes, I’m sorry.
They said they wanted to withdraw the disk.
I want to have a fair fight.
I understand.
But if we do it now, it will look like we're the ones being saved.
Even so, at least for the customers.
Everyone decided on it together, so of course we knew how selfish the choice was.
I also understand that it will cause considerable damage to the office.
Please let me know the expenses for this event.
I can't promise when, but I will definitely pay you back, so please bear with me.
Sure, please go ahead.
Please raise your head and tell me the reason.
I received a message.
From the chick of Daimidas directly to me.
I was happy with Miura-san's feelings.
Even though I insisted on performing live and put you through this, you still went to such lengths for me.
Even now, I still think that refusing was rude.
But I'm sorry for being selfish.
To be honest, I knew it.
It will go against your feelings.
Mr. Miura.
Miu is no good either.
Please don't get the wrong idea.
The office and Miura will take care of the money and contracts.
Huh.
Miura wanted to work together precisely because you guys are like that.
Please let me be of some use at least at the end.
Are you going to quit?
Yes.
What?
Transfer?
I think I'll try going freelance.
Is there something bothering you?
No, there isn't.
We just decided it ourselves.
That's all.
Hmph.
Get angry.
You're being so naive.
That's why you talk like that.
Hmm.
Come back after 10 years if you survive.
I'll do the job for free for you.
Yes, thank you, Nagata-san!
Do you want to grab some beef bowl?
You just want to drink anyway, don't you?
That's not true.
Rupa lacks persuasiveness.
Come to think of it, you both first met here, right?
I agree.
Won't you make a vow?
With pickled ginger.
It's also an important name for Tomo-chan and the others.
A precious vow for a lifetime.
What are you pledging?
We'll keep doing this with these five people.
I'll never stop.
Then we have no choice but to eat it.
Sounds good.
Just one drink, okay?
Momoka.
Hmm?
I like this town.
This town, where I met friends who laugh and cry with me
I love you.
Kawasaki, huh?
Sure thing!
It's a cold defeat.
It's like losing four straight games in the Japan Series.
No miracle happened, huh?
Of course, it's not like this is a melodrama.
Oh, you watch it.
The only thing I'm watching is Detective Grandma.
Wow.
Are you picking a fight?
But you knew that, right?
We know that reality is harsh and that it's not easy.
Look who's talking.
The one who understands the least is Nina, right?
That's right.
That's probably why you can say it, right?
There’s nothing wrong with it.
Ms. Momoka.
Speaking of which, there was a concert by Daidatsu yesterday, so there are more comments now.
You're the one who said not to look, Momoka.
Well, well.
Well, I like this.
Why am I getting so much backlash?
Shut up.
Music isn't about the numbers.
Don't jump to conclusions when it's still not finished yet.
There are people in the world who just can't keep their mouths shut and say things like this.
It seems your sincerity truly comes across, Momoka.
Yeah, I guess so.
But I never thought you'd get that good at playing the guitar.
I never thought it would go that far.
Are you sure it's really okay?
I'll play.
You always practiced at Mihari Park, didn't you?
Isn't it good?
Thank you, everyone.
It's about time.
Huh?
Up?
Left?
Yeah.
That guy.
Isn't that interesting?
Surprisingly, it seems like Hina might not want Nina to be broken after all.
What do you mean?
You came all this way just to apologize, didn't you?
It's because I know you're being stubborn.
You're right, everyone does seem like the final boss.
You're the most infuriatingly self-righteous person in the universe.
But if I defeat them, the game will end, so I don't want them to fall.
I'm not happy at all.
I'm praising you.
You can trust me on this.
Everyone.
It's time.
Beep!
So, as you all know, it was a match against Diamond Dust.
You can see the result. Ah, thank you for coming today!
What?
Actually, we were pretty aware of it.
You want to defeat Diamond Dust all by yourself?
I don't want to lose.
We were seriously competing with each other during the festival too.
I'm going to talk about myself all of a sudden.
Is that okay?
Rupa.
When I was in high school, there was a time when I went to help a kid who was being bullied.
I was happy when I was on my way to help from the classroom.
I felt proud, and I liked that part of myself.
Because of that, now I'm the one being bullied.
In the end, I ended up quitting school.
But from that moment, I've never thought that I shouldn't have gone.
I've never thought, "If only I hadn't gone, this wouldn't have happened."
That's how I understood.
I don't regret a single thing.
Because of Momoka's song, I was able to become stronger.
You often hear such stories.
Oh, so Hina liked it too.
The song by Dairasu isn't just my song.
It arrived properly.
Thank you very much once again for today.
You are all stubborn people who end up coming over here.
But I love those kinds of people.
And then I'll scream.
I'm definitely not losing, I'm not wrong.
Our.
Become a witness to the beginning!
Everyone is living in the same place on top of their own lives.
If it's not there, then take off and fly.
View
Dreams are elusive and distant, but with another doctor, they appear beautiful to me.
Surely, the rest of our lives
Singing as if there's no wind; it's terribly inefficient.
It was painful, intense, and full of wounds, and I hated everything.
Even if we spread our wings, we could withstand the depths of hell together.
Wanting to disappear, the flapping of wings ceased and grew distant.
I want you to pick it, but how do you decide whether to go here or let the flowers bloom?
I was not there at the beginning, so it disappeared, but it's okay if you get through it.
But the blossomed tongue flower
Oh!
Wow!
Here I go!
Thank you!
Yes!
Unable to be influenced by anyone, unable to become anyone, I pretended to laugh, thinking it was just a dream.
There is no way I can say that I've become lonely because I've remembered my forgotten weakness.
Even casual conversations
A wounded heart doesn't bring happiness to anyone.
Hey, even so, my hopes keep growing.
Throw away all the lies we passed by, I want to hear it's no big deal.
You don't always have to fix boredom.
It's okay even if you can't change today, you.
I want to keep singing, no matter how many times. My emotions are bright red, connected.
I've been hated, but...
I'm going to keep walking like this, as someone only I can be.
I am heartbroken.
Just believe in your true self, even if you're alone.
When you feel hurt, just sing.
