31st - Gala Concert
You're totally distracted!
I'm doing what I'm supposed to.
You were playing reluctantly!
It sounded like your heart wasn't in it!
Hey...
do we have to play this piece for the gala concert?
What's that? Is there a problem?
For a gala concert we should be playing something more glamorous.
Let's go with something more major.
No way!
This is the song I want to play.
Don't worry don't worry.
If you and I play it it will sound glamorous enough.
I wonder why you're so reluctant to play it?
When the score was overflowing with so much love for you?
Kreisler's "Love's Joy."
Love's...
Sorrow.
Kreisler "Love's Sorrow"
the companion piece to "Love's Joy" was written for the violin.
There's a piano version arranged by Rachmaninoff.
Huh? Did I stick it here?
Falling asleep under the piano again.
You're going to catch a cold.
You've gotten heavy haven't you?
Kousei.
This is your punishment.
The piano isn't responding to you is it?
I wish you would just die.
I can't hear!
Help me Mom!
I wonder why you're so reluctant to play it?
Why?
Because it reminds me of my mother.
Hiroko I've got to practice.
It's okay it's okay!
It's good to have a change of scenery to take a breather!
Cotton candy! Frappes!
Hey don't get lost on me.
Rachmaninoff's "Love's Sorrow."
Saki used to play that all the time ever since we were students.
She used to play it a lot as a lullaby.
This piece just reeks too much of my mom.
So raw and vivid. It closes in on me.
My mom
she surely despised me right?
No mother on earth despises her own child.
That day.
That was the moment you grew up.
Both as a person and as a pianist.
There's no way that wouldn't make Saki happy.
There you are!
Sorry!
But it is just a little bit sad.
To see your kid grow away from you.
My mom.
Do you think she'll forgive me?
For trying so hard to forget all about her?
Is it all right for me to play the piano?
If that's how you feel play.
If there's something holding you back then play with conviction
and try to hear Saki's voice.
Voice.
"Don't sit there brooding over ridiculous matters
it's high time you stood up!"
Play.
You and I are pianists you know.
A candy apple.
You don't like candy apples?
It's not like that it's just that I've never had one before.
Don't cry! I'll eat it! I'll eat it okay?
Thanks!
Am I being too harsh with him?
But he's got to play.
So that he can mature as a pianist.
So that he can say goodbye.
Jeez! Look how late it is!
Yeah because you wouldn't give up. What a baby!
What about you? You kept whining about the piece!
Since we're so late coming home
I wonder if your folks are mad.
Hey look up there! At the sky!
You're ignoring me?
The stars are so beautiful.
It's like the stars are speaking to us!
A cake shop?
I'm home!
Hold on a sec!
I'll be heading home now.
What do you want with my daughter?
Uh... I...
Arima?
Hey if it isn't Arima!
These are just leftovers but have your fill all right?
Th-Thank you very much!
We've got some test samples too right?
Oh but I've already had more than enough.
My parents are fans of yours.
When I was little they went to hear you a lot.
I heard all about it Arima!
You shouldn't abort your performances.
That's like throwing away all you've been through!
It's like baking a moist sponge cake
only for it to be totally ruined by some horrible-tasting cream!
Sorry about that.
But I like a young man who does the unheard-of!
Good for you!
Once it's inside your stomach there's no difference.
Since the ingredients are all the same.
Thank you very much!
Want to see some pictures of Kaori back in grade school?
She was so adorable!
We have some from kindergarten too!
No you don't!
Here for your folks.
Thank you very much.
And thank you for all the cake.
We'll be going to the gala concert to cheer you on.
Good luck!
Right I'll do my best.
I'll walk you to the street.
So that's Arima huh?
He's got manners and he's a good kid don't you think?
Yes.
Really! They even hauled out the pictures of me as a newborn!
Stark naked no less! I can never get married now!
You sure have cheerful parents.
My mom's always stuffing starving dogs with food.
Starving?
Huh?
Hey you did you get taller?
Huh? I don't know...
Oh I see.
It's because you're not looking down anymore.
Anyway it sure is hot this year.
A meaningless conversation.
Familiar scenery.
It's so humid!
It's so deplorable
it's really muggy don't you think?
Even so the reason I remember it so well is probably...
Oh but I do like summer because there are fireworks.
I'm sure...
it's because of that summer night.
31st - Gala Concert
I told you!
Make that part flow more elegantly!
But the accompanist can't just ignore instructions!
Or else the violin won't stand out.
- It will stand out because I'm playing it! - How peaceful.
You're so arrogant!
Follow what I'm doing!
Where's my green tea and red bean shaved ice?
It's not that simple!
- I'm eating it. - What'd you say?!
You monster!
That was my shaved ice!
I've had it! I don't want to go to summer school!
I want to play! I want to go to the festival!
How peaceful.
I want to see fireworks!
That's it!
The year's first fireworks!
So pretty!
You sure we won't get caught?
Sneaking into the pool area and lighting firecrackers.
Oh no worries!
The teachers have all gone home anyway.
And as for water we've got a whole boatload at our disposal!
But lay off the rockets okay?
Kashiwagi?
Ugh. Summer school again tomorrow.
Well just suck it up.
It's your fault for being a moron.
Shut up you lousy scholarship student!
What are you two gonna do?
I mean high school. You're not attending summer school
so does that mean you two are on the music college track?
I'm...
not even thinking about the future yet.
For now let me just say that I'm going to rock the audience at the gala
and claim the spotlight!
Because we're the almighty duo after all!
That's the spirit that's the spirit!
Glorious!
Those two look great together.
- What are you gaping at? - Why? No!
It's totally dark at the bottom.
I can't hear a sound.
It's like my...
Help me. Please help me.
I can't hear anything.
It's dark. It's dark.
The fact that you can't hear the notes means...
that you're not bound by auditory sounds I think.
Not bound by sound?
The images you have within you.
The sounds that rise up from the bottom of your soul.
You've been letting them override all else without realizing it.
The sounds within you the imagined scenery.
Wasn't there ever a moment when you sensed
the notes suffused with your desires and emotions?
Losing the ability to hear the notes.
I'm sure that's a gift.
A gift?
Close your eyes cover your ears
and play as you feel for now.
You have the technical ability to pull that off.
The ability to trace the sounds within you the sounds you imagine.
And those are the memories Saki left you.
Did you get taller?
Oh I see.
It's because you're not looking down anymore.
It's because you're looking up now.
Kousei!
Kousei.
He's alive!
He's in pain!
That's proof that he's alive!
How could you...?
How could you drown in such a shallow pool?
Everyone's gonna blame me!
He freakin' slammed his head right into his savior's face.
Not bad.
Is it because it's a pool?
Is it because the moon's out?
Maybe just maybe...
the light can reach even the bottom of a dark ocean.
31st - Gala Concert
Miyazono's playing too right?
Yeah that kid who stopped playing midway.
The people who run this are reckless for sure.
I think she'll actually make an impact. Can't wait.
Wonder if she'll play it right today?
She'll probably go bonkers again.
Well I came today just to see her.
CURSE
All right! There's nobody I know around here.
Emi?
Aren't you going to take your seat?
Ms. Ochiai?
Did you call me Emi?
I'm the one who told you about Arima being an accompanist today.
N-N-N-Not that I came here to see Arima...
I'm just here to enjoy some violin music...
Here's your program.
Let's go.
It'll be starting soon.
You witch!
No judging at gala concerts so we can just sit back and enjoy ourselves.
With this level of talent we can certainly afford to listen like everyone else.
Now then is it almost time for my favorite?
Kaori Miyazono Sumiya Junior High School
What does she think she's doing?
The violinist a no-show? That's just insane!
Who is she Michelangeli? Pogorelić?
The show's started. Kao's not here yet?
What am I supposed to do?
Is Kaori Miyazono this unpredictable?
I've been calling her cell but she's totally not picking up.
Watari
This is serious. I can't...
Let's go in and get prepared.
So we'll be ready whenever Miyazono does show up.
Please keep calling Miyazono's cell.
Yes ma'am!
I'm counting on you.
Yes!
Good luck!
What should we do?
I'll go ask if they'll move you guys down in the order.
Since it's a gala concert they might be a little more flexible.
As long as we can get the performers to agree.
We can wait on Miyazono till the last possible second.
Why...
If that doesn't pan out we'll just have to forget it.
Yeah you're right.
But why?
What will you do?
This is the song I want to play!
Weren't you looking forward to this?
I was an idiot for getting carried away.
It's almost Kaori Miyazono's turn.
Wonder what she's going to do this time?
It's been a while since I've felt this excited.
That's unacceptable.
Please!
She's on a bus right now on her way here!
Be that as it may I don't have the authority to—
What's going on?
Miike?
Miike...
He's the final act of the junior high division?
That's right being that he won the competition.
Nice timing!
Sorry but could you let them play after you?
Our violinist's running late.
Running late?
Her name's Kaori Miyazono. I'm sure she'll be here soon.
You think you could let her play after you?
Miyazono's playing too right?
Can't wait!
Absolutely not.
The final act of this gala concert...
The starring role is mine.
Well of course it is.
It is your moment of triumph after all. We only have ourselves to blame.
I apologize for being so presumptuous.
Looks like we're going to have to withdraw.
A-Anyway
it's her own fault for being late on a day like this.
Her playing's such a mess no wonder her lifestyle's all messed up too.
She thinks she's special just because the audience kind of liked her
so she shows up late without a second thought!
You don't have to go that far—
But isn't that a fact?
The music is written in the score.
What she produces is disastrous. It's not music or anything at all!
You little brat who are you to talk like that?
All right then.
I apologize for causing a disturbance before you perform.
Come on Kousei!
Aren't you pissed at all?
He insulted your partner!
As listed on the program
please perform the final act of the junior high division Miike.
However...
The spotlight!
today's spotlight belongs to us.
The promoters' choice for the junior high division Ms. Kaori Miyazono.
Here she comes!
At last!
She got here in time?
Isn't he the accompanist?
Where's the violinist? Where's Miyazono?
Arima you can't be alone?
Unprecedented.
Kousei...
