3
00:00:06,210 --> 00:00:08,630
it would be extremely dangerous.

4
00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:10,260
Not only that but...

5
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,430
Even if all went well...

6
00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:16,810
Yes I understand. At least I think I do.

7
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:21,060
I've talked about it with
both my mother and father.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,230
My mind is set.

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,400
I want to have the surgery.

[calling]

00:02:08,830 --> 00:02:09,830
{\i1}You're off.{\i0}

13
00:02:10,250 --> 00:02:12,130
I just started practicing this song okay?!

14
00:02:12,130 --> 00:02:14,380
{\i1}You don't feel threatened!{\i0}
{\i1}You're slacking off!{\i0}

15
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:17,470
{\i1}You've got the étude too you know!{\i0}
{\i1}You have your back against the wall!{\i0}

16
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:18,390
{\i1}Don't you get that?{\i0}

17
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:21,260
Sure I get it! Don't talk about it
you'll make me panic!

18
00:02:21,260 --> 00:02:24,310
{\i1}You were already short on prep{\i0}
{\i1}no thanks to flirting with that first year...{\i0}

19
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,060
I was not flirting with her!

20
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:26,390
What kind of convo is this?

21
00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:27,810
He's fighting with the phone.

22
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:28,560
Call Ended

23
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:30,230
Jeez!

24
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:32,440
Kaori! Are you ready?

25
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,780
Oh no! Just look at the time!

26
00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:40,410
Oh man I only got a C.

27
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:42,530
Maybe I'll try for an easier school.

28
00:02:42,530 --> 00:02:45,290
Hey Tsubaki. How'd you
do on your mock exam?

29
00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:50,000
Scored a B.

30
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,500
Entrance Exams - Pre-Test Results

31
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:52,920
What that bumbling gorilla?

32
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,090
What that muscles-for-brains?

33
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:56,010
I only asked her because I was
sure she scored lower than me!

34
00:02:56,010 --> 00:02:57,130
But she's Tsubaki!

35
00:02:59,050 --> 00:03:01,510
I rule! Bow down
before me you dullards!

36
00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:04,100
That's love.

Totsuhara University Hospital

38
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:26,910
She's not here.

39
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,580
What's up with that?

40
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,620
She's the one who said
I had to check in regularly!

41
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,590
{\i1}Don't tell me...{\i0}

42
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:35,590
{\i1}She took a turn for the worse...{\i0}

43
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:38,920
What should I do?
Should I wait for her?

44
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,380
If I ask the nurse...

45
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,800
Hey it's you Arima!

46
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:48,850
Mr. and Mrs. Miyazono?

47
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480
I-It's been a while...

48
00:03:51,850 --> 00:03:54,230
Are you here to visit Kaori?

49
00:03:54,230 --> 00:03:55,480
How nice!

50
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,190
Well yes but I can't find her anywhere.

51
00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:03,740
Then I know where she must be.

52
00:04:08,950 --> 00:04:10,750
Keep going slowly now...

53
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:12,420
Put your left foot out.

54
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,500
She says she doesn't want to lose
her stamina or muscle strength.

55
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:21,510
She says that she wants
to play
the violin onstage again.

56
00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:23,930
Rehabilitation Room

57
00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:28,600
Let's take a break Kaori.
You're trying to do too much at once.

58
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,310
It's no big deal. Violinists have
more stamina than you think!

59
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:37,570
This is all thanks to you Arima.

60
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:41,650
Kaori had given up.
She'd thrown in the towel.

61
00:04:41,650 --> 00:04:43,150
And now she's starting to walk again.

62
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:46,160
One sure step at a time.

63
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,950
I haven't done anything.

64
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:54,330
No I guess not.

65
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:59,670
All you did was try very hard.

66
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:05,050
And it struck a chord in Kaori's heart.

67
00:05:06,590 --> 00:05:08,220
I want to have it.

68
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:09,470
The surgery.

69
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:14,060
Even if it gives me only a little more time

70
00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:17,610
even if there's only the slightest hope

71
00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:19,480
I'm willing to cling to anything.

72
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,240
There was a boy that I met in April.

73
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,200
He cried and vomited and struggled
so hard it was unseemly...

74
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:33,200
But onstage he shone like a star

75
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,290
and his life seemed like
a gorgeous rendition of a melody.

76
00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:41,760
I made a promise with that boy.

77
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920
He said "Let's perform together again."

78
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:47,640
That's why I...

79
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:50,760
I want to struggle as hard as I can.

80
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,310
No matter how unseemly...

81
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:54,980
or futile it may be.

82
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,140
I'm going to struggle

83
00:05:56,140 --> 00:05:57,650
struggle and struggle

84
00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:59,400
struggle like there's no tomorrow!

85
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,610
Because I'm one of them too.

86
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,360
If I just give up in despair

87
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,290
I can never face my parents
who gave birth to me and raised me.

88
00:06:17,370 --> 00:06:19,380
Because it's my life.

89
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,630
If I just give up now

90
00:06:24,090 --> 00:06:25,880
I'll feel sorry for myself.

91
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:30,930
Seeing you devote your
heart and soul to music

92
00:06:31,810 --> 00:06:35,560
Kaori's graying heart got its color back.

93
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:39,730
So thank you...

94
00:06:40,690 --> 00:06:42,480
Kousei Arima.

95
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,280
Library / New Books

96
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:48,950
He's been playing the piano all through
the night. Every night these days.

97
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:53,740
I know the competition's coming up soon
but it's right after the school festival.

98
00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:55,870
He's going to break down.

99
00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:58,670
Will he do okay on his
entrance exam? That Kousei...

100
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,920
That's Arima's entrance
exam preparation.

101
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,960
Huh?

102
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,210
Listen up. To get into a
music-oriented high school

103
00:07:06,210 --> 00:07:10,550
though they test on regular subjects
achievements trump all else.

104
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:15,930
Those schools burnish their reputations
by admitting the top performers.

105
00:07:15,930 --> 00:07:19,230
Since Arima hasn't competed
in the last two years

106
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:21,310
he's sorely lacking in
terms of achievements.

107
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:25,820
And now the Eastern Japan Piano
Competition is coming up in December.

108
00:07:26,780 --> 00:07:30,070
It's got a long history
and cachet like no other.

109
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:32,780
So for the school
there's no better advertisement

110
00:07:32,780 --> 00:07:36,200
than admitting the cream of the
crop from that competition.

111
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:41,170
In other words to get to the top of the heap
at the Eastern Japan Piano Competition

112
00:07:41,170 --> 00:07:44,250
is the same for Arima
as passing an entrance exam.

113
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:46,960
It's like hitting a walk-off homerun see.

114
00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:51,180
So why don't you stop being
jealous of music and root for him?

115
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,180
I am not jealous...

116
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:57,270
It's better than having him
flunk and head overseas right?

117
00:07:59,770 --> 00:08:03,310
{\i1}Now might be my{\i0}
{\i1}only chance to be near him...{\i0}

118
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:09,650
Arima must be exhausted
practicing so late into the night huh?

119
00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:14,120
I'm sure he'd love a late-night snack.

120
00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,410
I-It's not like...

121
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:24,170
It's not like I'm doing this
because Kashiwagi told me to!

122
00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:26,920
Kousei?

123
00:08:29,090 --> 00:08:30,420
Kousei you're so light!

124
00:08:30,420 --> 00:08:32,430
Huh? A Tosa dog?

125
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:35,350
Oh it's you Tsubaki. Was I asleep?

126
00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:37,600
Don't sleep like you're dead!

127
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,940
You've been playing non-stop?!
You're pushing yourself a little too hard!

128
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:45,020
The mandatory Bach piece...
The Bach piece...

129
00:08:45,690 --> 00:08:48,570
Your room's a total mess!
Would it kill you tidy up?

130
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:50,240
You're so bothersome!

131
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,990
Are you showing up at the
competition with that hairdo?

132
00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:59,410
All right! Ready to go!

133
00:08:59,410 --> 00:09:00,790
H-Hey...

134
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:03,580
Are you sure you can do this?
Don't you need a license?

135
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:05,080
Just leave it to me.

136
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,670
I always cut my own hair
when I need a little trim.

137
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:10,130
You mean your bangs right?

138
00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:11,260
I'll go to the barbershop.

139
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:14,090
I know you're too lazy to go!

140
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:17,510
Enough with the whining!
Accept your fate if you're a man!

141
00:09:17,510 --> 00:09:19,560
P-P-P-P-Please proceed!

142
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:25,770
Aren't you cutting too much?

143
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:30,150
Don't worry! I used to do this for you
when we were kids remember?

144
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:34,900
The competition's coming up soon
so I'll make you look like a stud!

145
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:36,910
You make it sound like
I usually look bad.

146
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,070
Kao—

147
00:09:39,330 --> 00:09:41,200
{\i1}Will Kao be coming?{\i0}

148
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,330
{\i1}What does Kao say about all this? Kao...{\i0}

149
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,540
{\i1}Don't be jealous of music.{\i0}

150
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:49,380
{\i1}But of course I am...{\i0}

151
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,300
{\i1}All I can think of is Kao.{\i0}

152
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,090
{\i1}I'm such... a horrible girl.{\i0}

153
00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:59,550
Tsubaki?

154
00:10:01,390 --> 00:10:04,140
I'll do my best.

155
00:10:04,140 --> 00:10:06,640
I don't know what the results will be

156
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,230
but I'm going to give it my best shot.

157
00:10:16,650 --> 00:10:19,490
{\i1}The sound of the scissors{\i0}
{\i1}ringing in my ears.{\i0}

158
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:22,040
{\i1}His stiff hair.{\i0}

159
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,410
{\i1}A scene of little significance passes me by.{\i0}

160
00:10:26,290 --> 00:10:27,830
Where's my rice ball?

161
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:30,420
Huh? Aren't you on a diet?

162
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:32,420
What's that supposed to mean?!

163
00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:39,390
{\i1}If this moment is{\i0}
{\i1}precious for Kousei as well{\i0}

164
00:10:39,390 --> 00:10:41,850
{\i1}that would make me so happy.{\i0}

165
00:10:56,820 --> 00:10:59,030
I'm putting myself in your hands!

166
00:10:59,030 --> 00:11:00,820
Hey! You're early today.

167
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,330
Don't you have to wait for
your friend with the glasses today?

168
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,710
He's not coming today.

169
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,210
Right now I think he's in the thick of it!

170
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:09,960
24th: 10AM
Exam Room B

171
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:24,850
Is number four Kashima here?

172
00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:38,780
Um... want some?

173
00:11:42,070 --> 00:11:43,370
Mmmmm!

174
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:48,160
Right? This egg salad sandwich is
light on the mayo and light on the salt

175
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,540
which brings out its sweetness to the max!
The eggs are free-range and farm-fresh...

176
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:56,960
{\i1}N-Nothing's coming up but gastric juices.{\i0}

177
00:11:58,050 --> 00:11:59,220
Why the...?!

178
00:12:00,050 --> 00:12:02,890
{\i1}Emi... Arima...{\i0}

179
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:11,140
Huh? Oh sure...

180
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:13,900
{\i1}After I just hurled...{\i0}

181
00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:16,980
Yum!

182
00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:17,730
Oh!

183
00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:21,530
Right? This egg salad sandwich is
light on the mayo and light on the salt

184
00:12:21,530 --> 00:12:23,370
which brings out its sweetness to the max!

185
00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:27,200
It's the ultimate egg salad sandwich
capturing the splendid taste of the egg itself!

186
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,700
It would be even better
with a thick slice of ham.

187
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,500
It's hard to pick ones
without extra mayo too.

188
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,250
Makes you crave some tea huh?

189
00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:36,590
But a cutlet bowl is a real man's meal.

190
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,590
The florentines here are delicious too.

191
00:12:38,590 --> 00:12:40,880
If we're having tea I'd rather have scones.

192
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760
- The best milk is Moo Moo Brand.
- The best kind of tea is Darjeeling!

193
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,390
Wow they're really getting into it.

194
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:45,890
See the chemistry?

195
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,230
Number eight Takeshi Aiza.
Please get ready in the wings.

196
00:12:51,060 --> 00:12:53,400
All right then I'm heading out.

197
00:12:59,030 --> 00:13:03,700
I wish I could fire off a cool parting shot
but I can't seem to think of anything.

198
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:06,370
I guess...

199
00:13:06,370 --> 00:13:08,700
It's because we're musicians.

200
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:12,000
We gotta express through music right?

201
00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:21,760
{\i1}Oh man what an anticlimax.{\i0}

202
00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:25,090
{\i1}All my nervous energy is gone.{\i0}

203
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
{\i1}Now I feel like something's off.{\i0}

204
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,520
{\i1}They always get in my way.{\i0}

205
00:13:36,270 --> 00:13:37,610
All right let's go.

206
00:13:40,570 --> 00:13:41,900
{\i1}Are you ready?{\i0}

207
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:46,780
{\i1}Is your mind ready?{\i0}

208
00:13:48,490 --> 00:13:50,040
{\i1}Okay let's go!{\i0}

209
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:51,830
{\i1}Let's go!{\i0}

210
00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:54,210
{\i1}Takeshi Aiza!{\i0}

211
00:13:56,370 --> 00:13:59,290
{\i1}This is the stage where I'm{\i0}
{\i1}parting ways with you.{\i0}

212
00:14:19,020 --> 00:14:22,230
{\i1}Ever since I was a kid{\i0}
{\i1}I hated being bored.{\i0}

213
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,610
{\i1}Konnyaku?{\i0}

214
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:27,660
{\i1}I'll get you Class Elephant!{\i0}

215
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:29,660
{\i1}It's Takeshi from Class Giraffe!{\i0}

216
00:14:31,490 --> 00:14:35,580
{\i1}My mother who grew pessimistic about my{\i0}
{\i1}future and the Aiza family's reputation{\i0}

217
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:39,170
{\i1}made me take all kinds of lessons{\i0}
{\i1}including judo and flower arrangement.{\i0}

218
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,460
{\i1}One of them was...{\i0}

219
00:14:41,460 --> 00:14:42,130
{\i1}Wow!{\i0}

220
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,300
{\i1}Piano.{\i0}

221
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,430
{\i1}You should have him learn from{\i0}
{\i1}someone who's more of an expert.{\i0}

222
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,930
{\i1}If I win I get a toy superalloy robot!{\i0}

223
00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:53,850
{\i1}Piano's a breeze!{\i0}

224
00:15:06,190 --> 00:15:07,360
{\i1}Just watch.{\i0}

225
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:08,570
{\i1}Emi.{\i0}

226
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,860
{\i1}Arima.{\i0}

227
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:13,580
{\i1}All at once I'll demolish you!{\i0}

228
00:15:14,450 --> 00:15:16,870
{\i1}Let's go. Takeshi Aiza!{\i0}

229
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,050
{\i1}Chopin's Étude Op. 10 No. 12.{\i0}

230
00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:30,970
{\i1}Go! Takeshi!{\i0}

231
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,100
{\i1}Brother...{\i0}

232
00:15:33,930 --> 00:15:36,730
{\i1}I'm so lame it's humiliating.{\i0}

233
00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:40,770
{\i1}I've disappointed my audience.{\i0}
{\i1}I've made my kid sister worry.{\i0}

234
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:43,110
{\i1}And my rivals are{\i0}
{\i1}throwing me their support.{\i0}

235
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,900
{\i1}So humiliating...{\i0}

236
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:49,400
{\i1}I'm no different than when I was a kid.{\i0}

237
00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:52,490
I lost again!

238
00:15:52,490 --> 00:15:53,740
Brother!

239
00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:56,450
{\i1}Darn it! How could I... Whoa!{\i0}

240
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,330
{\i1}How could I lose to that cold-blooded{\i0}
{\i1}expressionless girl and that sissy four-eyed jerk!{\i0}

241
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,500
Darn it...

242
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:04,750
Darn it!

243
00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:05,880
Darn it!

244
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:07,760
Darn it!

245
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,970
I'm not gonna lose next time!

246
00:16:12,090 --> 00:16:13,220
Wow!

247
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,600
He raced all the way up without stopping!

248
00:16:16,220 --> 00:16:17,720
He's so cool!

249
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,400
{\i1}Why didn't I see it before?{\i0}

250
00:16:27,940 --> 00:16:32,240
{\i1}I thought I was the one who{\i0}
{\i1}understood you better than anyone else.{\i0}

251
00:16:33,070 --> 00:16:36,660
{\i1}But when I saw you for{\i0}
{\i1}the first time in two years...{\i0}

252
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,040
{\i1}We're still in mid-journey.{\i0}

253
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,210
{\i1}I'll bet he's found a reason to play.{\i0}

254
00:16:46,210 --> 00:16:51,720
{\i1}If I still gave a sloppy performance{\i0}
{\i1}then that's who I am now.{\i0}

255
00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:56,550
{\i1}I think I kind of get it now.{\i0}
{\i1}It was always like this.{\i0}

256
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:01,140
{\i1}You were the one who expanded my world.{\i0}

257
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,650
{\i1}You've grown so much more{\i0}
{\i1}than I expected.{\i0}

258
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,440
{\i1}The scenery that I'm looking for{\i0}
{\i1}and the sights that you wanted to see.{\i0}

259
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,530
{\i1}They're different huh?{\i0}

260
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:16,780
{\i1}Immerse yourself. Immerse yourself.{\i0}

261
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:19,830
{\i1}Deeper and deeper.{\i0}

262
00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:23,000
{\i1}Come on Takeshi!{\i0}

263
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:27,210
{\i1}Contrary to appearances{\i0}
{\i1}he's a solid pianist.{\i0}

264
00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:29,670
{\i1}Try to really understand the composer's aim.{\i0}

265
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:31,300
{\i1}Follow in your predecessors' footsteps{\i0}

266
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:34,510
{\i1}and experience the feel of blood{\i0}
{\i1}and sweat-soaked score sheets.{\i0}

267
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:37,600
{\i1}No need to become Kousei Arima.{\i0}

268
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,100
{\i1}You're the one Takeshi Aiza who{\i0}
{\i1}belongs to that line of pianists!{\i0}

269
00:17:42,730 --> 00:17:43,940
{\i1}Now this is...{\i0}

270
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:45,730
{\i1}Takeshi's piano.{\i0}

271
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:50,110
{\i1}How cheeky. Are you going to push{\i0}
{\i1}every inch of your intent through?{\i0}

272
00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:53,280
{\i1}Hmph! You little punk with{\i0}
{\i1}that shallow jerk on retainer...{\i0}

273
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,490
{\i1}How dare you project such sensuality?{\i0}

274
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,070
{\i1}Go!{\i0}

275
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:58,950
{\i1}Move forward!{\i0}

276
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:00,660
{\i1}Move forward!{\i0}

277
00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:05,620
{\i1}It's not just allies who support each other.{\i0}

278
00:18:05,620 --> 00:18:08,670
{\i1}From your rivals{\i0}
{\i1}you learn and gain so much.{\i0}

279
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:11,710
{\i1}Until the day you meet again...{\i0}

280
00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:15,510
{\i1}Just knowing they exist helps{\i0}
{\i1}you to withstand the loneliness.{\i0}

281
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:20,010
{\i1}Those who compete even if they're{\i0}
{\i1}enemies help each other out.{\i0}

282
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,140
{\i1}I've been waiting for this day for two years.{\i0}

283
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:25,730
{\i1}I don't feel the slightest shred of boredom!{\i0}

284
00:18:26,190 --> 00:18:28,520
{\i1}Now I something I can{\i0}
{\i1}devote everything I have into!{\i0}

285
00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:30,940
{\i1}I'm not gonna lose next time!{\i0}

286
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,980
{\i1}I'm gonna demolish you!{\i0}

287
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:41,490
{\i1}I have amazing rivals I can compete{\i0}
{\i1}against with everything I've got!{\i0}

288
00:18:46,410 --> 00:18:48,170
{\i1}I'm so lucky.{\i0}

289
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,220
{\i1}Welcome home my hero!{\i0}

290
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:05,390
Bravo!

291
00:19:05,390 --> 00:19:06,730
He's back in full force!

292
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:11,980
Brother!

293
00:19:13,150 --> 00:19:17,400
{\i1}Arima's competing too.{\i0}
{\i1}Which one am I supposed to cheer on?{\i0}

294
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,490
{\i1}My tragedy. What a cliché!{\i0}

295
00:19:20,530 --> 00:19:23,490
{\i1}I see that a troublemaker's been awakened...{\i0}

296
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,750
{\i1}Chopin just smiled...{\i0}

297
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:30,420
{\i1}Takeshi!{\i0}

298
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,500
{\i1}Um...{\i0}

299
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:36,050
{\i1}I still have one more number to play.{\i0}

300
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,760
Good job.

301
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,930
You were good. Especially the Chopin.

302
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,230
The second piece was really hard.
What was up with that whole atmosphere?

303
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:51,980
You created that atmosphere
yourself didn't you?

304
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:55,320
You should've played the Chopin piece second.

305
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:00,410
{\i1}Did I reach them?{\i0}

306
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:04,950
{\i1}Was I able to reach them with my music?{\i0}

307
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,830
{\i1}Like you guys?{\i0}

308
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,500
Don't even think about
messing up here got that?

309
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:15,050
'Cuz I'm so gonna destroy
you in the final round!

310
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,010
Don't make me laugh.
After that shaky second piece!

311
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:20,840
What the...?

312
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,220
You'd better dial down the bravado.

313
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:25,010
You know what they say.
All bark and no bite.

314
00:20:25,010 --> 00:20:27,600
Dammit both of you!

315
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,850
You'd better not have made
a move on my kid sister!

316
00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:31,270
Of course I haven't!

317
00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:33,860
Then make one!
You think Nagi isn't hot?!

318
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:35,070
Whaaat?

319
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,150
{\i1}See ya my mirage...{\i0}

320
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,110
{\i1}Thanks for everything up to now.{\i0}

321
00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:46,990
{\i1}See ya my hero.{\i0}

322
00:20:47,870 --> 00:20:50,460
{\i1}Thanks for everything up to now.{\i0}

323
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,460
There's the results!

324
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,550
I see my name!

325
00:20:57,550 --> 00:20:58,710
Really?

326
00:20:58,710 --> 00:21:01,220
Final Contestants
Aiza Takeshi. Emi Igawa. Arima Kousei.

327
00:21:04,590 --> 00:21:06,850
{\i1}Hmph! What a gloomy-looking bunch.{\i0}

328
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:09,640
{\i1}Arima's next to me!{\i0}

329
00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:20,030
Episode 19
