1
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:44,530
At the beginning of that summer, I went to live with
my grandmother in this town in the countryside.

2
00:00:46,090 --> 00:00:49,930
We'll return as soon as your grandmother gets well.

3
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:50,920
Yeah.

4
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:56,700
Really, it's a shame you have to change
schools at such an important time like this.

5
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,680
I'll be fine, really.

6
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,240
If she heard you say that, Shuuhei-san, your
grandmother wouldn't have to worry anymore either.

7
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:05,210
Oh, that's right!

8
00:01:05,490 --> 00:01:09,190
They just finished tuning the piano
in the lesson room yesterday.

9
00:01:09,770 --> 00:01:10,880
Then I can start today?

10
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,410
Yes, we can start your lessons!

11
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:14,420
Yeah.

12
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:19,480
You simply must become a fabulous
pianist just like your father.

13
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:34,880
It's a forest.

14
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:38,310
You're right! It's a big forest, isn't it?

15
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:44,450
A piano?

16
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:50,110
What's wrong, Shuuhei-san?

17
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,420
Did you hear a piano just now?

18
00:01:53,210 --> 00:01:53,920
A piano?

19
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:55,400
I didn't hear anything.

20
00:01:56,610 --> 00:01:57,100
I see.

21
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,780
Was it just my imagination?

22
00:02:55,340 --> 00:03:00,360
Piano no Mori
The Piano Forest

23
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:08,940
Today, I'd like to introduce you all to a new friend.

24
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:10,950
Amamiya Shuuhei-kun.

25
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:15,120
Now, Amamiya-kun, will you introduce yourself for us?

26
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:15,900
Yes, ma'am.

27
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:19,410
I'm Amamiya Shuuhei and I came here from Tokyo.

28
00:03:20,450 --> 00:03:23,460
My special skill is that I've been learning to
play the piano since I was four years old.

29
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:27,070
My dream is to become a pianist.

30
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:32,300
Everyone! Quiet down!

31
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:35,260
Plays the piano he said, even though he's a guy.

32
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:37,970
That's right.

33
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,900
A transfer student shouldn't stand out.

34
00:03:42,210 --> 00:03:43,930
If he stands out...

35
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:46,630
Amamiya Shuuhei-kun.

36
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:49,880
What is it?

37
00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:52,300
Do you know about the piano in the forest?

38
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,140
Piano in the forest?

39
00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:57,290
You know there's a huge forest near the school,
don't you?

40
00:03:57,730 --> 00:03:59,690
Oh, that forest.

41
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
There's been a broken piano
in that forest for a long time.

42
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,650
Of course, since it's broken,
you can't get any sound out of it.

43
00:04:08,590 --> 00:04:12,470
However, when night falls, for some reason that piano...

44
00:04:14,890 --> 00:04:21,170
Tum! Tum! All on its own, the piano goes tum, tum!

45
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:25,090
The dead body of a man was found nearby.

46
00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:31,220
Rumor says his spirit appears night
after night and plays that piano.

47
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:35,230
Amamiya-kun, there's a challenge to test your courage.

48
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:38,600
Go into the forest and play it — the ghost piano.

49
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,400
Huh? Th-That's impossible.

50
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:44,720
I can't play a broken piano.

51
00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:49,800
Of course you can play it! After all, you've been
learning the piano since you were four years old.

52
00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:54,780
Yeah, this is what happens to you when you stand out.

53
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,490
Understand, this is an initiation.

54
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:01,740
An initiation to prove whether
you're really a man or not.

55
00:05:02,470 --> 00:05:04,660
Either you go and play the ghost piano in the forest...

56
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,030
Or else you'll have to show us your penis.

57
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,670
It's gotta be one or the other.

58
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:11,850
There it is. Kinpira's "Show me your penis."

59
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,220
This is just a simple test of courage. You can't refuse.

60
00:05:16,410 --> 00:05:19,520
Even if it doesn't make a sound,
you can still say that you played it.

61
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,040
It won't make a sound anyway.

62
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:21,920
Right, right!

63
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,360
It's a piano, so it produces sound.

64
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:35,900
Amamiya, don't worry.
You can get sound from that piano.

65
00:05:38,430 --> 00:05:39,790
Stop making stuff up, Kai!

66
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,130
When I did my test of courage,
I couldn't get any sound out of it.

67
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:47,630
Well, that's because you were shaking
in your boots the entire time, Kinpira.

68
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:50,210
You were too scared to play the piano.

69
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:53,040
Maybe you should have to show it to everyone.

70
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:57,390
Your itty bitty...

71
00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:58,700
I'll kill you!

72
00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,280
...penis!

73
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,390
How dare you say that!

74
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:07,960
Ouch!

75
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:10,430
You lying bastard!

76
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,050
Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!

77
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:15,540
That piano...

78
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:17,040
...can't make a sound!

79
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,960
It's not a lie!

80
00:06:19,150 --> 00:06:21,660
It's my piano, so I know for sure!

81
00:06:23,330 --> 00:06:25,170
Your piano?!

82
00:06:25,730 --> 00:06:27,080
Tell me, Kai.

83
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:31,420
How can a poor family like yours afford to buy a piano?

84
00:06:32,010 --> 00:06:38,200
Oh, I get it. You stole it. I forgot that your
entire neighborhood is filled with thieves.

85
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:41,650
Or maybe one of your mother's clients bought it for her?

86
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,500
Tell me the answer, Kai!

87
00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:46,240
Someone threw it out, so I took it.

88
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:48,510
I will tell you something, Kinpira.

89
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:51,580
I have lots of things you can't buy with money.

90
00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:55,090
For example: a giant penis!

91
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:02,800
Stop saying shit to make fun of me!

92
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,970
You should shut up yourself.

93
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:08,640
Your breath reeks because your brains are all rotted!

94
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,680
You bastard!

95
00:07:11,070 --> 00:07:13,160
Get him, get him! Do it!

96
00:07:17,410 --> 00:07:20,650
What's going on? Finish cleaning up and go home.

97
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:22,540
It's "Funeral" Ajino!

98
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,030
Do you have something to say?

99
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:35,910
What should I do?

100
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,580
I want to go home, but my legs aren't responding.

101
00:07:43,250 --> 00:07:44,410
If you don't, then head home.

102
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,110
Uhm, is the legend about the
piano in the forest really true?

103
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:53,510
The story about the piano in the forest is a lie.

104
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,980
It was just made up.
It's like one of those "Seven Wonders of the School".

105
00:07:58,740 --> 00:08:01,050
I-I see. Goodbye.

106
00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:25,150
Ichinose Kai

107
00:08:31,090 --> 00:08:32,220
Hold it, Ichinose!

108
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:35,100
How many times do I have to tell you?
If you get into one more fight...

109
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:37,140
I won't listen to what a liar has to say!

110
00:08:37,660 --> 00:08:38,290
Liar?

111
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,350
Even though the piano in the forest is broken,
it can still produce sound.

112
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,090
Because it's my piano!

113
00:08:44,830 --> 00:08:45,770
Your piano?

114
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:50,430
Don't talk like you know everything!
Especially when you're wrong.

115
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:09,470
Amamiya!

116
00:09:15,890 --> 00:09:18,500
Uhm, you're Ichinose-kun, right?

117
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:19,610
Just call me Kai.

118
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:25,320
Say, Amamiya, do you want to go now and see for
yourself that the piano in the forest can produce sound?

119
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,690
Huh? Now?

120
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Yeah. Come on!

121
00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:30,090
H-Hold on.

122
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:31,730
Wait up, Kai-kun!

123
00:09:38,780 --> 00:09:40,510
You're slow, Amamiya!

124
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,060
You run slow, don't you?

125
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,610
Kai-kun, why did you save me back there?

126
00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:52,280
Save you?

127
00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:57,110
You know, when we were cleaning.

128
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:01,640
You play the piano, don't you?

129
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:03,820
Yeah.

130
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:04,880
I do too.

131
00:10:05,490 --> 00:10:06,210
You do too?

132
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:08,750
That's why I'm really glad now!

133
00:10:11,050 --> 00:10:11,680
Let's go!

134
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:13,540
Wait a second!

135
00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:21,150
I can't afford to injure my hands.

136
00:10:22,590 --> 00:10:23,310
I should be okay with these.

137
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:32,470
But, are we really going to be able to
find the piano inside this huge forest?

138
00:10:32,990 --> 00:10:35,850
We'll find it! I go there every day.

139
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:38,160
Even with my eyes closed...

140
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:47,560
Amamiya, you must be my good luck charm.

141
00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:51,280
Look! The piano's in a good mood today as well.

142
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:05,610
I-It's a piano.

143
00:11:09,380 --> 00:11:11,320
This is the piano in the forest?

144
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:13,850
I can't believe it'd be here.

145
00:11:14,990 --> 00:11:16,760
It's so beautiful, like it's on a stage!

146
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:19,780
It's the first time I've ever seen anything like it.

147
00:11:20,330 --> 00:11:22,040
It's even more beautiful at night.

148
00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:29,270
Okay, Kai-kun, I'm gonna play it.

149
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:31,710
You can be my witness.

150
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:50,880
So it really is broken. There's no sound.

151
00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:53,630
That's not true. It makes sound!

152
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:55,340
But, listen.

153
00:11:57,870 --> 00:11:59,430
Try and play harder.

154
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:04,600
Let me show you.

155
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:07,510
It's never <i>not</i> made a sound.

156
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,410
Not even once.

157
00:12:14,970 --> 00:12:16,080
See?

158
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:18,060
Wh-Why?

159
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:20,580
Why did it make a sound?

160
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:23,400
How did you get it to produce sound?

161
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:25,470
Tell me, Kai-kun!

162
00:12:26,910 --> 00:12:28,410
I don't know.

163
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:35,940
Since it's my piano,
maybe it only opens up its heart for me.

164
00:12:36,510 --> 00:12:39,160
I suppose it must need some special style of playing.

165
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:43,250
Kai-kun, will you play some piece of music for me?

166
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,610
Then maybe I can figure something out.

167
00:12:48,330 --> 00:12:49,710
Guess I have to.

168
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:04,310
Kai-kun...

169
00:14:01,410 --> 00:14:02,230
Amazing!

170
00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:04,080
That was amazing, Kai-kun!

171
00:14:04,650 --> 00:14:06,780
I don't know how else to say it but that was amazing!

172
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:10,160
D-Don't be silly! You're so dramatic.

173
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,120
I'm serious!

174
00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:15,380
Not only am I surprised that you can get sound out of it,
but you can really play!

175
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:19,750
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
That's the first time I've played for another person.

176
00:14:19,930 --> 00:14:23,730
There's no reason to feel uncomfortable.
You could play for anyone without embarrassment.

177
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,470
Hey, who are you taking lessons from?

178
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:29,820
Lessons? I've never taken lessons.

179
00:14:30,780 --> 00:14:31,960
Not even once?

180
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,480
It's just like Kinpira said, my family is poor.

181
00:14:40,670 --> 00:14:44,250
I'm not cut out for formal lessons anyway.

182
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:48,400
K-Kai-kun.

183
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:49,810
If it's okay,

184
00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:53,280
will you come and play my family's piano?

185
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,080
Huh? Your family's piano?

186
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,210
Oh, I see! You have a piano inside your house!

187
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,480
It's in the lesson room. It's a grand piano too.

188
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,260
Wow! You have a lesson room in your house?!

189
00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:14,300
Amamiya, your piano is awesome!

190
00:15:14,670 --> 00:15:16,040
Eeek! Kai-kun...

191
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,300
I can move my fingers incredibly quickly.

192
00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:21,080
It's like I'm under a spell.

193
00:15:21,730 --> 00:15:25,670
K-Kai-kun, you need to play softer, like you usually do.

194
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Huh? I always play this way.

195
00:15:30,990 --> 00:15:33,080
What the heck happened to Kai-kun?

196
00:15:34,430 --> 00:15:38,550
Kai-kun, I get it. This time try playing a bit more slowly.

197
00:15:39,220 --> 00:15:40,140
Slowly?

198
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:45,710
Yes, that's it, Kai-kun! Just like that...

199
00:15:46,110 --> 00:15:47,220
Don't let your mind drift.

200
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,960
There you go. You can play just fine when you try.

201
00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:56,410
This is kinda tiring and it's no fun.

202
00:15:56,870 --> 00:16:00,460
But Kai-kun, practice isn't supposed to be fun.

203
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:03,220
But playing the piano is just for fun!

204
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,640
Don't you have fun when you play?

205
00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:08,680
It's not just for fun.

206
00:16:09,750 --> 00:16:13,200
If I can't handle the pain of practicing,
I won't become a pianist.

207
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,560
Okay, now try and play something that way.

208
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:24,650
Ajino is just like that too.
He won't let us have any fun during music class.

209
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:29,220
That's because Ajino-sensei isn't
teaching music just for fun either.

210
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:31,150
Ajino?

211
00:16:37,310 --> 00:16:41,080
Hello. Shuuhei-san, is this your friend?

212
00:16:41,770 --> 00:16:43,390
Yeah, Ichinose Kai-kun.

213
00:16:44,010 --> 00:16:44,710
Hello.

214
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:47,090
I'm Shuuhei's mother.

215
00:16:47,650 --> 00:16:49,770
You play the piano too, Ichinose-kun?

216
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:52,370
Not really, I just play for fun.

217
00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:54,810
It's too difficult to learn to play the piano properly.

218
00:16:55,290 --> 00:16:56,570
Don't worry, Kai-kun.

219
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,090
When you get used to practicing, you learn quickly.

220
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,610
Say, did you say "Ajino-sensei" earlier?

221
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:04,650
Yeah, he's the music teacher.

222
00:17:05,100 --> 00:17:06,840
He's a very scary teacher though.

223
00:17:07,210 --> 00:17:10,260
His name wouldn't be Ajino Sousuke, would it?

224
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,860
Yeah, that's it.

225
00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:15,390
But we all secretly call him Ajino Soushiki (funeral).

226
00:17:15,810 --> 00:17:18,590
Because his face always looks like he's at a funeral.

227
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:22,350
N-No way, it couldn't be...

228
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,250
Let me see.

229
00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:25,440
Found it!

230
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:32,530
Is this him?

231
00:17:35,170 --> 00:17:39,150
Oh, that's Ajino! He's really young, but it's Ajino.

232
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:42,290
Mother, do you know Ajino-sensei?

233
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:49,480
Oh, I know him all right! H-He was the pianist that
all of us music students at college aspired to be like.

234
00:17:50,030 --> 00:17:51,940
Huh? A pianist?

235
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Ajino Sousuke won the All-Japan
competition while he was at college.

236
00:17:58,420 --> 00:18:02,280
And he had a spectacular debut as a pianist
at the same time as he graduated college.

237
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,980
Being able to accomplish all that
was nothing short of a miracle.

238
00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:10,320
Did you know this, Kai-kun?

239
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,340
I had no idea.

240
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:14,760
This all happened over 20 years ago.

241
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:19,600
But I've never seen Ajino play the piano.

242
00:18:20,260 --> 00:18:24,380
He had an unfortunate accident five
years after his professional debut.

243
00:18:25,870 --> 00:18:30,550
He severely injured his left hand so he
was forced to retire from being a pianist.

244
00:18:31,050 --> 00:18:34,040
I can't believe he'd be teaching
elementary school music.

245
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,830
Are you seriously going to have
Ajino-sensei be my piano tutor?

246
00:18:45,300 --> 00:18:51,790
Of course I'm serious, Shuuhei-san! We're lucky to have
come out here and happened to find Ajino Sousuke!

247
00:18:58,490 --> 00:18:59,440
Sorry to disappoint you.

248
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:02,510
I don't think I'd be much help to him.

249
00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:06,610
I'm no longer as I once was.

250
00:19:07,740 --> 00:19:09,030
Please go now.

251
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:13,150
I apologize for such a strange request.

252
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,940
Let's go, Mom.

253
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,070
Oh, Sensei...

254
00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:26,010
The piano in the forest is broken
but it can still make sound.

255
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,680
I thought we had discussed that once already.

256
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,640
But it's the truth.

257
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:35,890
Kai-kun is the only one who can make it play.

258
00:19:36,730 --> 00:19:37,160
Kai?

259
00:19:37,690 --> 00:19:42,290
I'm telling the truth. I saw it with my
own eyes and heard it with my own ears.

260
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:48,250
I-I tried my best to get sound out of it,
but no matter what I did, it wouldn't come out.

261
00:19:49,020 --> 00:19:51,880
Even so, Kai-kun was somehow able to get it to play.

262
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:54,720
But what really surprised me was the tone of the piano.

263
00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:59,970
How can I put this, I've never heard a
throbbing reverberation like that before.

264
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:05,020
You should be able to hear it as well.

265
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,040
Because it looks like Kai-kun
plays that piano every night.

266
00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:10,440
Every night?

267
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:26,460
Kai, hurry and finish or you'll be grumbling
when you have to do without dinner.

268
00:20:26,750 --> 00:20:27,670
Yes, ma'am.

269
00:20:29,530 --> 00:20:32,660
Hey, Kai, what's Reiko doing?

270
00:20:32,660 --> 00:20:33,640
Like I know!

271
00:20:38,010 --> 00:20:40,800
What's with that kind of attitude
in front of your customers?!

272
00:20:41,110 --> 00:20:42,550
You're not my customer!

273
00:20:43,010 --> 00:20:46,420
What?! If I'm Reiko's customer
then that makes me your customer!

274
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,950
It looks like you don't understand your position here.

275
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,370
Hey, stop that.

276
00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:56,370
Rei-chan will be here soon.

277
00:20:56,930 --> 00:20:59,520
Shut your mouth! Stay out of this, you old bag!

278
00:20:59,350 --> 00:21:00,590
Let go of me, you drunk!

279
00:21:04,660 --> 00:21:07,720
Damn you, Kai! You still have work to do!

280
00:21:14,810 --> 00:21:16,770
I wonder if Ichinose is really out here.

281
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:20,810
If I can, I want to hear that sound again.

282
00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:34,090
Wow, it's true. The keys are so heavy.

283
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,230
It doesn't make any sound if you just play it normally.

284
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:40,100
They say there's only one like it in the entire world.

285
00:21:40,690 --> 00:21:42,940
It's Ajino Sousuke's specially-made piano.

286
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:46,690
Yes, just as the lettering on it says,
that was a piano made for me.

287
00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:49,870
Up until the accident anyway.

288
00:21:57,820 --> 00:22:02,490
With our current medical technology we will
not be able to return his left arm to normal.

289
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Of course, he should be able to live a normal life.

290
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,030
But, as for being a pianist...

291
00:22:09,850 --> 00:22:11,260
It's a terrible shame.

292
00:22:12,570 --> 00:22:18,650
Though it has been two months since his accident,
Ajino Sousuke is still not allowing any visitors.

293
00:22:19,230 --> 00:22:23,420
He lost his fiancée in that nightmare of an accident,
and his career as a pianist—

294
00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:40,830
Even though I ended up getting
a job as a college professor,

295
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,740
no matter who I listened to,
no one impressed me or moved me at all.

296
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:49,220
Eventually, ten years after the accident,

297
00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:53,420
I was stripped of my honorary
title as professor emeritus.

298
00:22:56,860 --> 00:23:00,470
I wasn't sad or lonely for being
estranged from the piano world.

299
00:23:01,670 --> 00:23:07,660
But for some reason, in the end I felt an urge to
see one more time the piano that I had given away.

300
00:23:08,330 --> 00:23:11,840
Oh yeah, it was here. A really big piano.

301
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:15,650
She was always stripping on top of that piano.

302
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,280
Man, that dirty little girl would act
like some rich man's daughter.

303
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,320
Hey, you, wait just a second!
You're looking for that piano, right?

304
00:23:28,150 --> 00:23:28,930
Do you know where it is?

305
00:23:29,290 --> 00:23:34,380
If that's the one, I heard they abandoned it in the
forest behind the cabaret when they knocked it down.

306
00:24:15,980 --> 00:24:18,080
Why, back in that accident...

307
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,690
Why couldn't I have died?

308
00:24:29,450 --> 00:24:30,320
It's been three years since then.

309
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,880
And yet I still can't leave the area where that piano is.

310
00:24:35,270 --> 00:24:36,710
Even now it occasionally flashes through my mind.

311
00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:40,060
The unforgettable sound of that piano.

312
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,140
If he can truly get sound from that piano...

313
00:24:44,990 --> 00:24:46,870
Please let me hear it. That sound.

314
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,350
No matter what,
I need to take that child's words seriously.

315
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,430
Geez, I amaze myself. What have I been reduced to?

316
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:38,380
Th-This sound...

317
00:25:39,810 --> 00:25:42,470
I-It couldn't be...

318
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:46,440
Could the piano truly be...

319
00:26:08,130 --> 00:26:08,800
Ichinose?

320
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,060
This sound...

321
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:17,850
The sound coming from that piano...

322
00:26:24,910 --> 00:26:26,610
It's my sound!

323
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:04,670
Let go of me!

324
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,950
Let go of me!

325
00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:08,390
Ichinose!

326
00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:09,410
Let go of me!

327
00:27:08,930 --> 00:27:09,410
Ichinose!

328
00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:12,880
Did you follow me all the way here, you drunk?!

329
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:14,550
I'll kick your ass!

330
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:16,800
Ichinose! Ichinose! Calm down!

331
00:27:16,990 --> 00:27:18,900
Let go of me! Let go, let go!

332
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:18,900
It's me! It's Ajino!

333
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:20,290
Let go of— Huh?

334
00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:23,690
A-Ajino?

335
00:27:23,970 --> 00:27:24,390
That's right.

336
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:26,100
What are you—

337
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:28,200
Why are you here?

338
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,790
How should I explain this...

339
00:27:32,590 --> 00:27:34,950
The thing is, this is my piano.

340
00:27:35,340 --> 00:27:37,280
It's not yours! It's mine!

341
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:42,170
That's right. Now, it's your piano.

342
00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:46,340
You're probably the only one who
can play it in the entire world.

343
00:27:47,050 --> 00:27:48,020
Therefore, it's your piano.

344
00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:52,110
Ichinose...

345
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,860
Will you play the piano with me?

346
00:28:04,970 --> 00:28:07,520
You have the chosen hands.

347
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,780
The hands the piano chose.

348
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:16,920
Piss off!

349
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,700
Like I'd play the piano with you!

350
00:28:22,930 --> 00:28:27,720
I finally have time to enjoy myself and you come and
interrupt me... Do you even know what time it is?

351
00:28:28,970 --> 00:28:33,030
More importantly, Ajino,
a piano is something you play alone.

352
00:28:38,220 --> 00:28:38,880
Ichinose...

353
00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:49,160
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Sonata No. 8 in A
minor, K 310 Third Movement (Presto) - Final Stanzas

354
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:08,520
Amazing!

355
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,400
You're amazing, Amamiya!
I've never heard such beautiful piano playing before!

356
00:29:15,870 --> 00:29:17,190
You can tone down the flattery, Kai-kun.

357
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,070
I still have a long way to go.

358
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,230
I can't hope to win the competition like this.

359
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,770
Competition?

360
00:29:24,050 --> 00:29:24,310
Yup.

361
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:28,410
The All-Japan Student Piano
Competition is taking place soon.

362
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,820
There are several competitions,
but the level of that one is the highest.

363
00:29:33,530 --> 00:29:36,380
They say it's the gateway to
becoming a professional pianist.

364
00:29:36,790 --> 00:29:41,230
And you're gonna enter that, Amamiya?
You really are something.

365
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,090
I was just playing the qualifying song.

366
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:46,140
Mozart's Piano Sonata 310.

367
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080
So that was Mozart?

368
00:29:49,740 --> 00:29:52,710
What are all those little squiggly things?

369
00:29:53,470 --> 00:29:56,910
That's the score, it's like blueprints for the music.

370
00:29:58,860 --> 00:30:02,000
If you can read the score,
you'll be able to play any piece.

371
00:30:03,020 --> 00:30:06,830
Oh yeah! You should learn it too, Kai-kun.

372
00:30:07,750 --> 00:30:10,510
It's okay, really! Spare me the studying.

373
00:30:10,770 --> 00:30:11,160
But...

374
00:30:11,630 --> 00:30:13,170
Oh, that reminds me!

375
00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:16,420
That Ajino bastard showed up in the forest last night.

376
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:21,970
He just came up and grabbed my arm
and starting saying all this crazy stuff.

377
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,340
To top it off,
he asked if I would play the piano with him!

378
00:30:29,650 --> 00:30:31,040
It wasn't funny.

379
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:38,220
Like I'd play the piano with that guy just like that.
We're not even friends!

380
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:39,830
He probably meant...

381
00:30:41,210 --> 00:30:41,850
He probably meant...

382
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:45,420
...that he was offering to teach you piano.

383
00:30:46,910 --> 00:30:48,640
That's not funny either.

384
00:30:48,990 --> 00:30:52,080
I didn't ask him to do that; who does he think he is?

385
00:30:52,330 --> 00:30:53,300
But isn't it great?

386
00:30:54,810 --> 00:30:57,650
I asked him to do it and he refused.

387
00:30:59,410 --> 00:31:04,200
Why did you ask Ajino for something like that?
Amamiya, you can already play the piano!

388
00:31:05,270 --> 00:31:06,910
Just playing is no good.

389
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320
For me, it's essential to find a top-caliber mentor.

390
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,150
Kai-kun, this is your chance!

391
00:31:14,790 --> 00:31:17,780
With an opportunity like this,
you have to try and learn the piano for real!

392
00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:23,210
If Ajino-sensei asked something like that,
then you must have a talent for the piano!

393
00:31:23,810 --> 00:31:26,060
Oh, and you don't need to worry about me.

394
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:29,200
I don't really like Ajino-sensei that much anyway.

395
00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:31,830
And even though he refused me...

396
00:31:32,260 --> 00:31:36,410
If he told you he'd teach you, please don't
worry about that and just let him teach you.

397
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,020
D-D-Don't say such stupid things!

398
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:48,330
Just shut up and listen! How dare you tell me
what to do? I don't want to be taught by anyone!

399
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Amamiya, you're just trying to push Ajino on me, aren't
you! Because you don't want to learn from him yourself!

400
00:31:55,070 --> 00:31:56,560
Th-That's not it at all, Kai-kun!

401
00:31:58,370 --> 00:32:01,830
Besides, my family doesn't have
the money to pay for teaching.

402
00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:08,000
I'm sorry, but I'm different than you.

403
00:32:14,090 --> 00:32:17,340
But, Amamiya,
aren't you a little too obsessed over Ajino?

404
00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:21,000
Sure, he may have been a great pianist in the past...

405
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:26,020
But now he's just a cheap music teacher
who gets on everyone's bad side.

406
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,450
Kai-kun, if you want, I'll teach you piano.

407
00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:34,160
Of course I won't charge you.
See, that Mozart piece from before—

408
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,020
Thank you, Amamiya,
but it's fine because I've already memorized it.

409
00:32:37,650 --> 00:32:38,380
See ya!

410
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,050
Will you play the piano with me?

411
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:04,310
Why did I say that to him?

412
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:09,180
I was supposed to have cut ties with that world already.

413
00:33:14,490 --> 00:33:17,850
Music Room

414
00:33:25,780 --> 00:33:26,380
Ichinose?

415
00:33:31,630 --> 00:33:35,050
That's Mozart's Piano Sonata 310.

416
00:33:39,610 --> 00:33:45,420
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Sonata No. 8 in A
minor, K 310 Third Movement (Presto) - Final Stanzas

417
00:33:46,610 --> 00:33:48,220
A-Ajino...

418
00:33:48,790 --> 00:33:50,340
He hasn't gone home yet?

419
00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:56,770
You've got some guts. You skip school and yet
you come to the music room to play around?

420
00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:59,250
Or did you come to see me?

421
00:33:59,750 --> 00:34:01,230
Like I'd ever do that!

422
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,200
I just came in to take a look at Mozart's face.

423
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,570
Is that Mozart?

424
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:11,680
That's Beethoven.

425
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:19,300
Ludwig van Beethoven Bagatelle in A minor,
WoO 59 Für Elise

426
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,150
Speaking of Beethoven...

427
00:34:19,230 --> 00:34:21,290
That's the song from Rei-chan's music box.

428
00:34:21,610 --> 00:34:24,290
He has plenty of other famous songs.

429
00:34:24,860 --> 00:34:25,890
For example...

430
00:34:26,850 --> 00:34:31,400
Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor,
Op. 67 First Movement (Allegro con brio)

431
00:34:31,490 --> 00:34:34,390
This is called "Fate," from his fifth symphony.

432
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,790
I know that one!

433
00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:41,320
Bam-bam-bam bam, right?

434
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,690
Man, I know a whole bunch of songs.

435
00:34:45,370 --> 00:34:46,890
Okay, Ajino, how about this guy?

436
00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:48,560
That's Mendelssohn.

437
00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:58,360
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy A Midsummer
Night's Dream, Op. 61 Wedding March

438
00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:02,520
I know this! I know this!

439
00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:07,730
Hey, what about him?

440
00:35:10,130 --> 00:35:10,730
That's Chopin.

441
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,460
Chopin also has a large number of famous songs...

442
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,360
For example, the Minute Waltz.

443
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:25,930
Frédéric Chopin Waltz in D flat major, Op.
64, No. 1 Petit chien (Little Dog) - Minute Waltz

444
00:35:37,580 --> 00:35:43,200
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K 310
First Movement (Allegro maestoso) - Initial Stanzas

445
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:46,810
See, you can't even get a word in.

446
00:35:47,050 --> 00:35:51,140
I know, I've never seen Shuuhei-san so serious before.

447
00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:54,830
Ajino-sensei...

448
00:35:58,190 --> 00:35:59,430
instead of me...

449
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:03,940
he chose Kai-kun.

450
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:13,420
This is Beethoven.

451
00:36:16,020 --> 00:36:17,930
And when you think of Beethoven,

452
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:20,870
how can you forget...

453
00:36:21,450 --> 00:36:23,310
Fate!

454
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,230
That'll wake you up.

455
00:36:31,850 --> 00:36:32,720
And now...

456
00:36:33,690 --> 00:36:35,940
And this is Chopin: the Minute Waltz.

457
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:47,450
Huh? What happened?

458
00:36:54,990 --> 00:36:58,690
But I can play Mozart and Mendelssohn just fine...

459
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,390
Why only when I play Chopin?

460
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,910
That Kai! He's skipped school five days straight.

461
00:37:19,090 --> 00:37:21,510
I'm kicking his ass when he shows up.

462
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,660
What happened to Kai-kun?
He's taken five days off from school.

463
00:37:31,260 --> 00:37:32,400
Oh! Kai-kun!

464
00:37:46,530 --> 00:37:48,720
Ichinose, do you have something to say to me?

465
00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:52,940
Sensei, Chopin...

466
00:37:54,350 --> 00:37:55,680
Please teach me Chopin!

467
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:58,690
I can't play the Minute Waltz.

468
00:37:59,060 --> 00:38:00,930
I can play everything else just fine,

469
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:03,540
but I can't play Chopin at all.

470
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,590
But I definitely want to play it.

471
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,770
Please show me how to play it.

472
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:11,280
No problem, I'll show you.

473
00:38:12,350 --> 00:38:13,840
But I do have one condition.

474
00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:16,290
I-I don't have any money.

475
00:38:17,940 --> 00:38:23,200
The condition is that you are not to
run away until you're able to play it.

476
00:38:24,410 --> 00:38:26,900
Not from me and not from playing piano.

477
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:29,600
Wh-What kind of condition is that?

478
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:33,310
If you're okay with that,
come back here after school tomorrow.

479
00:38:35,900 --> 00:38:39,730
I'll just say this:
I'm not planning on learning from you for free!

480
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:53,040
Geez. It's you, Amamiya.

481
00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:57,000
I apologize. I didn't mean to, but I heard it all.

482
00:38:58,030 --> 00:39:02,930
Oh man, this is bad. I guess that makes me a big liar.

483
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,990
But I'm glad.

484
00:39:05,860 --> 00:39:08,570
You get to learn piano from Ajino-sensei.

485
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:13,860
You know,
even though you said you weren't considering his offer.

486
00:39:15,460 --> 00:39:17,090
I knew he couldn't turn him down.

487
00:39:18,030 --> 00:39:21,270
I mean, he was a former top-rate pianist after all.

488
00:39:22,570 --> 00:39:27,750
I'm not really accepting his offer,
there's just this one song I can't play.

489
00:39:28,610 --> 00:39:33,150
In any case, if it means Ajino-sensei will
be your teacher then it's a good thing.

490
00:39:33,450 --> 00:39:35,910
No way. He's not going to teach me forever.

491
00:39:36,850 --> 00:39:39,570
Fine, fine. It's just a good thing, that's all.

492
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:40,880
See you tomorrow!

493
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:52,770
It's good that such a good thing happened,
isn't it? It's nothing I need to be upset about, is it?

494
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,400
Kai-kun didn't do anything bad.

495
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,470
Why am I so upset about it?

496
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,240
What's with me?

497
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,200
Good morning!

498
00:40:19,890 --> 00:40:21,060
They're fighting!

499
00:40:20,650 --> 00:40:23,690
A fight! A fight! A fight in grade 5 classroom 3!

500
00:40:23,690 --> 00:40:25,940
Kai and Kinpira are having a really loud fight!

501
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:30,070
Don't play dumb!

502
00:40:30,410 --> 00:40:34,170
I heard that you've been cutting class
because your mom ran off with a customer!

503
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,100
Like I'd even know that!

504
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,410
Tell me, you jerk!

505
00:40:38,410 --> 00:40:40,000
Shut your mouth, you fat pig!

506
00:40:41,780 --> 00:40:43,460
Kai-kun, don't fight him!

507
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,540
Eat this, fat ass!

508
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:49,780
Kai-kun, don't use your fist!

509
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:53,480
Let me go, Amamiya.
I'm gonna strangle this pig today once and for all!

510
00:40:54,820 --> 00:40:58,000
Did you forget?
You have a lesson with Ajino-sensei today!

511
00:40:58,650 --> 00:41:01,240
It'd be really bad if you hurt your hand!

512
00:41:01,780 --> 00:41:04,450
You can't fight with your hands anymore!

513
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:06,950
Let go of me, Amamiya.

514
00:41:07,830 --> 00:41:09,660
So stop fighting, okay?

515
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,620
I said let go of me!

516
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,480
Kai-kun...

517
00:41:18,430 --> 00:41:21,910
What I do with my hands is my decision!

518
00:41:22,170 --> 00:41:25,520
That's true,
but you have an important lesson to prepare for.

519
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,290
Shut up already!

520
00:41:26,780 --> 00:41:28,250
It's different now.

521
00:41:28,470 --> 00:41:29,680
It's none of your business.

522
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:31,810
I'm just worried about you...

523
00:41:32,130 --> 00:41:35,370
Worried?! Worry about yourself, Amamiya!

524
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:41,720
If your hands are so important, then you'd better
protect those weak, girly hands of yours with your life!

525
00:41:57,700 --> 00:41:59,720
I understand, That's what I'll do.

526
00:42:01,430 --> 00:42:03,680
I'm only going to worry about myself from now on.

527
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,480
Hey, tell me, Kai! What's this about a lesson?

528
00:42:16,660 --> 00:42:20,300
Shut up! I'm not telling you nothing!

529
00:42:20,740 --> 00:42:22,800
Mr. Peas-for-nuts!

530
00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:25,350
You...

531
00:42:26,020 --> 00:42:27,440
I'll beat you to death!

532
00:42:29,770 --> 00:42:31,320
Hey!

533
00:42:32,030 --> 00:42:34,950
Stop that fighting!

534
00:42:35,110 --> 00:42:38,370
Hey! Kanehira-kun! Ichinose-kun!

535
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,810
Koutama Dormitory

536
00:42:43,810 --> 00:42:45,660
So this is where you live, Ajino?

537
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:46,720
Ichinose.

538
00:42:48,860 --> 00:42:50,340
The lesson room is this way.

539
00:42:52,330 --> 00:42:55,510
It's a prefab room that my landlord
built for his daughter to practice piano.

540
00:42:56,490 --> 00:43:01,470
It's just being used for storage now, but since it's
fully soundproofed, you can practice without worrying.

541
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,510
For starters,
you need to get used to playing on a normal piano.

542
00:43:24,570 --> 00:43:28,230
Okay, Ichinose. I'm going to play now,
so try and remember the music.

543
00:43:37,830 --> 00:43:39,870
Th-That's not a song.

544
00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:44,140
It's a practice piece for your fingers. It's a musical scale.

545
00:43:45,350 --> 00:43:45,950
Try and play it.

546
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:58,540
Yes, start off slowly. Continue like that.
Just try to keep the sound consistent.

547
00:44:03,390 --> 00:44:08,140
Keep repeating the same phrase on different
scales over and over. It's exercising your fingers.

548
00:44:09,290 --> 00:44:12,790
Because it's monotonous and doesn't have a melody,
you can keep your feelings out of it.

549
00:44:13,660 --> 00:44:16,790
It's probably incredibly boring for you.

550
00:44:17,660 --> 00:44:20,890
I can't do this. My head feels funny.

551
00:44:21,470 --> 00:44:24,330
Somehow the keys are starting to look distorted.

552
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,390
They're getting all distorted, the keys...

553
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,800
What's the matter, Ichinose?
You can call it quits if you want.

554
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:44,800
Playing piano just for fun is really enjoyable,
but lessons are a lot of work.

555
00:44:47,140 --> 00:44:50,430
Amamiya must have done so much of this.

556
00:44:55,090 --> 00:45:01,430
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Piano Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K 310
First Movement (Allegro maestoso) - Final Stanzas

557
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,850
I'm different from Kai-kun.

558
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,910
I don't play piano just for fun.

559
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,970
My goal is to become a pianist.

560
00:45:12,780 --> 00:45:14,550
I'm different from Kai-kun!

561
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,930
Hey, isn't this cute?

562
00:45:28,050 --> 00:45:29,140
Where did you buy it?

563
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,580
Good morning, Amamiya.

564
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,820
I-I'm sorry for saying those horrible things yesterday.
Please forgive me.

565
00:45:47,330 --> 00:45:49,080
You don't need to apologize, Ichinose-kun.

566
00:45:51,130 --> 00:45:56,630
I was wrong for meddling with your business.
I shouldn't have been so worried about you.

567
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,810
I know how difficult lessons are now. That's why, you—

568
00:46:02,050 --> 00:46:04,090
They aren't a big deal if you have a goal in sight.

569
00:46:11,890 --> 00:46:12,640
Amamiya...

570
00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:33,420
This is so boring.
How many more days do I have to keep doing this?

571
00:46:34,780 --> 00:46:36,770
I've already pissed off Amamiya.

572
00:46:51,150 --> 00:46:52,490
There's a skylight.

573
00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:56,910
That's right.
I guess the moon comes out wherever you are.

574
00:47:01,870 --> 00:47:04,200
All-Japan Student Piano Competition?

575
00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:09,880
Yeah. It looks like Amamiya Shuuhei-kun
from my class is going to enter it.

576
00:47:10,370 --> 00:47:13,030
It's an honor just to appear in it, isn't it?

577
00:47:13,290 --> 00:47:14,510
Yeah, I suppose.

578
00:47:14,610 --> 00:47:18,100
Seeing as it's my homeroom class, I'm so proud!

579
00:47:23,910 --> 00:47:28,750
Well, the scenery is not quite the same, but...

580
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:38,650
This is the forest.

581
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:45,550
And this is the piano in the forest.

582
00:47:51,850 --> 00:47:55,140
Huh? The sound is a little different.

583
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,530
The piano in the forest was more...

584
00:47:58,710 --> 00:48:00,770
Just a little bit more...

585
00:48:02,090 --> 00:48:03,980
There we go. Like this...

586
00:48:08,250 --> 00:48:09,920
A-Awesome!

587
00:48:11,830 --> 00:48:14,390
Faster! Faster!

588
00:48:15,020 --> 00:48:17,000
More! More!

589
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,490
More!

590
00:48:19,770 --> 00:48:20,310
That's enough.

591
00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:24,760
Ajino! How long have you been there?

592
00:48:27,130 --> 00:48:28,860
That's enough, Ichinose.

593
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,570
You pass.

594
00:48:34,890 --> 00:48:38,830
I did it! Yes! Yes! Yes!

595
00:48:38,830 --> 00:48:41,820
Continue playing like that and
try to play the Minute Waltz.

596
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,350
Yes! Yes! Yes!

597
00:48:43,870 --> 00:48:48,330
B-But you haven't taught me how to play Chopin yet.

598
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,590
Just give it a shot. You should be able to play it now.

599
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,310
I told you, I won't be able to!

600
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,540
Concentrate.

601
00:49:12,420 --> 00:49:13,060
It's true.

602
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,340
I can really play it. I'm playing Chopin.

603
00:49:18,210 --> 00:49:23,020
You don't use your strength to play Chopin.
Rather, it requires flexibility and motion control.

604
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,730
Once you can play a normal piano, you can play Chopin.

605
00:49:29,380 --> 00:49:30,370
I did it!

606
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,330
I did it! I did it! I played Chopin!

607
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:35,780
That's great, isn't it?

608
00:49:36,650 --> 00:49:37,840
Ajino, we have a deal.

609
00:49:38,850 --> 00:49:42,340
I told you.
I'm not planning on learning from you for free.

610
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,980
Now it's my turn to do something you want.
What would you like me to do?

611
00:49:50,090 --> 00:49:52,490
Of course,
it has to be something that doesn't cost me any money.

612
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:54,970
In that case,

613
00:49:56,460 --> 00:49:59,860
I'd like you to enter the All-Japan
Student Piano Competition.

614
00:50:03,180 --> 00:50:06,440
The qualifying song is Mozart's Köchel 310.

615
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:11,620
W-Wait just a second. You're saying I'm
going to appear in a piano competition?

616
00:50:11,970 --> 00:50:12,330
That's right.

617
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,940
A-Are you serious?

618
00:50:14,170 --> 00:50:14,560
Of course.

619
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:27,040
I could never imagine myself entering a competition!

620
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:33,280
The only people who enter those competitions
are rich boys and girls who've been
taking lessons since they were babies.

621
00:50:33,860 --> 00:50:37,260
Not gonna do it. I can't grant such a ridiculous request.

622
00:50:37,930 --> 00:50:40,540
I see.
I'm disappointed but I guess there's nothing I can do.

623
00:50:40,830 --> 00:50:45,360
Just give me something more realistic.
I'll put my heart into it.

624
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,120
There's nothing else I particularly want.

625
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,010
H-H-Hold on!

626
00:50:53,380 --> 00:51:01,110
What do you mean, nothing? Think harder, there must
be something! Cleaning, errands, walking your dog!

627
00:51:01,660 --> 00:51:05,450
I can do those things without your assistance.

628
00:51:06,950 --> 00:51:11,530
Even if you were to put all your heart into them,
I can do the cleaning and stuff just as well as you.

629
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:16,530
Besides, I don't have a dog.

630
00:51:20,570 --> 00:51:21,830
Wait!

631
00:51:27,710 --> 00:51:28,330
All right.

632
00:51:29,250 --> 00:51:32,700
I'm not happy about it, but I'll enter the competition!

633
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,680
Are you sure you're okay with it?

634
00:51:35,290 --> 00:51:38,010
If you're reluctant, it would be better to just call it off.

635
00:51:38,310 --> 00:51:41,440
Well I don't have a choice, do I?
You don't have any other requests...

636
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,140
The qualifier for the competition is in ten days.
I'll take care of the registration.

637
00:51:48,180 --> 00:51:52,520
I guess I should just bang on the
keys and make a fool of myself, huh?

638
00:51:53,820 --> 00:51:56,310
I'll be looking forward to that.

639
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:06,230
This can't be happening.

640
00:52:10,010 --> 00:52:13,580
Your lesson today starts at five.
Don't keep the teacher waiting, okay?

641
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,050
I understand.

642
00:52:16,140 --> 00:52:21,080
Your grandmother is starting to feel much better,
so we'll be leaving here soon.

643
00:52:23,210 --> 00:52:27,850
Are you surprised? I'm thinking that we can
move back to Tokyo right after the competition.

644
00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:31,730
I see. After the competition.

645
00:52:36,250 --> 00:52:36,770
With Kai-kun...

646
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,570
No, that doesn't matter.
I have to focus on the competition!

647
00:52:43,650 --> 00:52:44,800
Ichinose-kun...

648
00:52:45,910 --> 00:52:47,960
Ichinose-kun didn't come again?

649
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:48,760
He's cutting.

650
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,120
I wonder what he's been up to.

651
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,640
Kai-kun, are you playing the piano in the forest again?

652
00:52:59,510 --> 00:53:03,340
I think that fooling around on that would be a lot of fun.

653
00:53:04,950 --> 00:53:09,790
But that's right. It's as you said,
we live in different worlds.

654
00:53:19,540 --> 00:53:20,900
What's wrong, Namie-san?

655
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,970
Shuuhei-san...

656
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:35,510
The thing is, we wanted to keep it a secret
from you, but your father arranged for
Ajino-sensei to be a judge at the competition.

657
00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:37,980
Huh? Sensei? Why?

658
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:44,870
He figured that there's no way he can ignore
you once he hears you play the piano.

659
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,580
He'll never accept that offer.

660
00:53:49,110 --> 00:53:54,560
Yeah, I just got a message from
your father saying he'd refused.

661
00:53:55,570 --> 00:53:56,170
I knew it.

662
00:53:56,810 --> 00:54:00,300
And the reason Ajino-sensei
gave for turning it down was...

663
00:54:01,470 --> 00:54:04,900
He said he's teaching a student who
will be participating in the competition.

664
00:54:06,830 --> 00:54:11,470
Since he couldn't be a fair judge, he turned it down.

665
00:54:14,810 --> 00:54:15,500
What do you mean?

666
00:54:16,380 --> 00:54:20,820
I don't know.
But he said that's definitely what Ajino said.

667
00:54:24,810 --> 00:54:25,310
Kai-kun...

668
00:54:30,020 --> 00:54:32,300
Shuuhei-san, wait right there!

669
00:54:33,220 --> 00:54:36,680
If Ajino-sensei has a student, then it has to be Kai-kun!

670
00:54:38,380 --> 00:54:39,350
I was wrong about him.

671
00:54:40,460 --> 00:54:45,020
Could Kai-kun be serious enough about the piano
that he's going to participate in the competition?

672
00:55:08,170 --> 00:55:10,430
What are you gonna do about it, huh?

673
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:12,650
It's your fault, you know.

674
00:55:13,370 --> 00:55:14,560
What's all that ruckus about?

675
00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:17,760
It looks like they caught some kid.

676
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:24,150
So, what you gonna do, huh?

677
00:55:24,870 --> 00:55:27,280
D-Didn't I apologize already?

678
00:55:27,770 --> 00:55:34,310
You think an apology is enough?
My pants got all dirty because you bumped into me.

679
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:39,520
I'm gonna need ¥100,000 from
you to pay the cleaning bill.

680
00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:43,960
I-It won't cost 100,000 for a stain that small...

681
00:55:44,330 --> 00:55:48,670
It will cost you 100,000.
And you're gonna pay for it right here!

682
00:55:50,380 --> 00:55:50,860
I...

683
00:55:52,110 --> 00:55:54,920
What are you looking at? Huh?

684
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,640
I came here to see Ichinose Kai-kun!

685
00:55:57,980 --> 00:55:59,370
Kai?

686
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,880
What do you need Kai for?!

687
00:56:10,410 --> 00:56:13,010
What are you doing with my important customer?

688
00:56:14,450 --> 00:56:16,870
I wasn't doing anything! We were just messing around.

689
00:56:17,660 --> 00:56:18,370
Are you all right?

690
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:25,860
What's with you, Rei-chan? I don't
care how broke you are, don't tell me
you're taking a brat like this as a client.

691
00:56:26,500 --> 00:56:30,520
Don't talk trash. He's Kai's close friend.

692
00:56:33,650 --> 00:56:36,920
Kai, your friend is here. Come outside.

693
00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:40,080
You're Amamiya Shuuhei-kun, aren't you?

694
00:56:40,790 --> 00:56:41,510
Y-Yes!

695
00:56:42,580 --> 00:56:44,730
I'm Reiko, Kai's mother.

696
00:56:48,970 --> 00:56:49,720
Amamiya!

697
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:52,250
Kai-kun...

698
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:56,750
From here?

699
00:56:57,940 --> 00:57:01,660
Yeah, I climb out this window and walk to the piano.

700
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,010
Climb?

701
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,140
I climb down that tree.

702
00:57:09,900 --> 00:57:10,690
Not bad, huh?

703
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,080
Kai fell out of that window when he was three years old.

704
00:57:18,510 --> 00:57:18,800
Here.

705
00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:20,730
Thank you.

706
00:57:22,090 --> 00:57:22,520
Uhm...

707
00:57:23,790 --> 00:57:25,240
He fell out of the window?

708
00:57:25,420 --> 00:57:28,670
Exactly! We searched all over for
him thinking he might have died.

709
00:57:29,150 --> 00:57:31,750
And where do you think this guy was?

710
00:57:33,370 --> 00:57:35,630
He was playing on top of that piano.

711
00:57:37,020 --> 00:57:42,800
The trees of the forest protected him.
And that's when that piano became his toy.

712
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,660
Every morning and every night, whenever he was free.
He'd even stay all night sometimes, he was addicted!

713
00:57:49,470 --> 00:57:50,960
Don't say I was addicted.

714
00:57:52,850 --> 00:57:56,090
I'm just doing as I've been told,
learning to play the piano.

715
00:57:57,070 --> 00:57:57,720
But, to Kai-kun...

716
00:58:09,260 --> 00:58:10,320
To Kai-kun, piano is...

717
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,260
You play piano too, right, Shuu-chan?

718
00:58:18,170 --> 00:58:19,710
I heard all about you from Kai.

719
00:58:20,290 --> 00:58:22,260
He said he made a friend who plays the piano.

720
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,470
Keep being Kai's good friend, okay?

721
00:58:26,350 --> 00:58:27,510
Y-Yes, ma'am.

722
00:58:29,220 --> 00:58:31,600
Rei-chan, it's time for work. Get dressed.

723
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:32,710
Okay.

724
00:58:43,070 --> 00:58:45,100
Amamiya, let's go outside.

725
00:58:51,100 --> 00:58:53,810
You're entering the competition, right?

726
00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:01,690
I-I was planning on explaining all that! I don't want
you to be upset, so I need to explain the reason why.

727
00:59:05,380 --> 00:59:07,310
I'm not upset.

728
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,200
The piano was always my
opponent when I was a little kid.

729
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:16,600
I had to sacrifice so many things for my lessons.

730
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,760
It was my curse to bear,
being born into a family with a history as pianists.

731
00:59:21,970 --> 00:59:26,150
But there's nothing I can do about it, it's my fate.

732
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,100
That's what the piano is for me.

733
00:59:31,230 --> 00:59:36,960
I feel like I understand a little bit
about what the piano is for you.

734
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:38,960
Amamiya...

735
00:59:42,090 --> 00:59:44,040
That's why we can give everything
we've got to this competition.

736
00:59:44,510 --> 00:59:49,670
Wait, listen to my reasons!
I'm not really going to take it all that seriously!

737
00:59:50,100 --> 00:59:51,480
I don't care about your reasons.

738
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,320
You have to give it your all if
you're entering the competition.

739
00:59:56,170 --> 01:00:02,520
That's the least you can do for my sake
and for the sake of the competition.

740
01:00:03,830 --> 01:00:05,130
Promise me you will, okay?

741
01:00:06,820 --> 01:00:09,400
Okay. I understand.

742
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:31,290
You won't make it to school tomorrow
if you're wandering around at this hour.

743
01:00:32,810 --> 01:00:33,680
Say, Ajino...

744
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:39,930
Could you help me be ready to give
the competition everything I've got?

745
01:00:41,260 --> 01:00:45,210
Of course.
That's why I just finished adjusting the sound.

746
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:47,500
This is the score.

747
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,090
And this is a recording of it being performed.

748
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,830
It's an old tape, so the quality isn't great.

749
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,900
But there's no mistaking that it's
Mozart's Piano Sonata Köchel 310.

750
01:01:04,350 --> 01:01:06,750
Is that the old Ajino playing?

751
01:01:07,580 --> 01:01:10,860
Yes. Much better than I can play now.

752
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:23,690
Ichinose-kun, go ahead and read the next line.

753
01:01:27,140 --> 01:01:29,300
Is Ichinose-kun sleeping again?

754
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,640
Hey! Wake up, Kai!

755
01:01:32,250 --> 01:01:33,280
I said wake up!

756
01:01:34,260 --> 01:01:35,020
Hey!

757
01:01:49,330 --> 01:01:49,930
That's enough.

758
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,450
You've gotten pretty good at copying my style.

759
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:56,720
You can tell?

760
01:01:57,010 --> 01:01:59,010
Do you enjoy copying others?

761
01:01:59,980 --> 01:02:01,540
I just enjoy playing well.

762
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,170
Give me back the tape I let you borrow earlier.

763
01:02:13,790 --> 01:02:16,250
Don't listen to this anymore!

764
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:18,430
That's an important tape!

765
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,730
Don't copy others, don't play the piano like others.
Play your own piano!

766
01:02:27,110 --> 01:02:29,680
I want to hear your own Köchel 310.

767
01:02:31,700 --> 01:02:33,740
If you don't start playing your own style of music...

768
01:02:34,570 --> 01:02:38,420
Mozart is going to come from the grave and say,
"Give me back my score!"

769
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:44,910
I can't really tell the difference between my
piano playing and someone else's piano playing!

770
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:52,230
I know. But if you truly play your own piano,
you'll be able to savor the best feeling imaginable.

771
01:02:59,220 --> 01:03:01,310
Just what exactly is my own piano?

772
01:03:06,410 --> 01:03:10,890
If you're not going to play your own piano,
do you think I can have my score back?

773
01:03:12,030 --> 01:03:13,280
He's here already!

774
01:03:14,100 --> 01:03:16,720
Shit!

775
01:03:27,590 --> 01:03:29,670
So, can you play your own piano?

776
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,070
You're gonna embarrass yourself at the concert.

777
01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:35,180
You know, maybe you shouldn't enter after all.

778
01:03:36,270 --> 01:03:38,240
Each day there are more of you!

779
01:03:40,130 --> 01:03:41,920
Screw you all!

780
01:04:14,460 --> 01:04:15,500
And so, we've both...

781
01:04:17,390 --> 01:04:18,850
made it to the day of the competition.

782
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,580
Are you ready? Let's get going.

783
01:04:30,890 --> 01:04:32,660
Kai is such a mean kid.

784
01:04:33,290 --> 01:04:36,620
He didn't even mention the competition until yesterday!

785
01:04:37,150 --> 01:04:38,060
Is that true?

786
01:04:38,980 --> 01:04:42,370
Because if I told her,
Rei-chan would be all happy and stuff.

787
01:04:43,890 --> 01:04:46,940
See, it's not even something to get all happy about.

788
01:04:46,940 --> 01:04:51,050
Why not? I'm so excited that you're
gonna be in the competition, Kai!

789
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:56,250
56th South Central Region --
All-Japan Student Piano Competition

790
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,700
Only one person is going to make it in the
nationals from today's regional competition.

791
01:05:02,230 --> 01:05:03,280
Nationals?

792
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,930
Yes, that is where they decide
who is the best pianist in all Japan.

793
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:09,330
The best in all Japan?

794
01:05:10,270 --> 01:05:13,900
To think that Kai would be entering a contest
that ultimately decides the best in Japan.

795
01:05:14,220 --> 01:05:15,900
Stop saying such stupid stuff!

796
01:05:16,870 --> 01:05:19,010
Like I'm trying to be the best in Japan...

797
01:05:21,930 --> 01:05:24,080
Is Mozart's ghost still haunting you?

798
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,170
Wipe that smirk off your face!
Just whose fault do you think <i>that</i> is?!

799
01:05:29,030 --> 01:05:29,760
Is something wrong?

800
01:05:30,550 --> 01:05:34,260
I-I'm gonna go check out the contestants' green room.

801
01:05:34,850 --> 01:05:36,840
Amamiya might be there already.

802
01:05:42,140 --> 01:05:44,240
Amamiya, Amamiya...

803
01:05:46,220 --> 01:05:47,920
I guess he's not here yet.

804
01:05:51,700 --> 01:05:52,750
This sucks!

805
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,500
Why does Amamiya Shuuhei get
to be in the South Central region?

806
01:05:57,980 --> 01:06:00,430
Isn't he from the Kantou region, Shiraishi?

807
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:03,460
Yes, according to data from six months ago, he was.

808
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,950
He'll place first if he's entering!

809
01:06:06,630 --> 01:06:10,040
We won't know that until the end.

810
01:06:10,550 --> 01:06:11,270
I do know!

811
01:06:12,450 --> 01:06:15,170
I mean, isn't he Amamiya Youichirou's son?

812
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,870
The winner's already decided no matter what we do.

813
01:06:18,790 --> 01:06:20,710
There's no point in even entering this competition!

814
01:06:21,100 --> 01:06:22,260
Then, why don't you quit?

815
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,890
You've been blathering this whole time!

816
01:06:25,910 --> 01:06:30,520
I don't care if you're nervous. Just quit saying such
ridiculous things with that foul mouth of yours!

817
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:36,690
I'm not saying ridiculous things. It's already been
decided that Amamiya Shuuhei will win this competition.

818
01:06:36,980 --> 01:06:37,670
Maybe.

819
01:06:38,770 --> 01:06:45,220
But that's not for you to say. The only one who
decides if Amamiya wins is Amamiya himself!

820
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,500
He'll win with his own strength.

821
01:06:59,590 --> 01:07:00,550
Amamiya!

822
01:07:03,690 --> 01:07:04,720
Oh, Kai-kun!

823
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:08,480
Kai-kun, you're early.

824
01:07:08,580 --> 01:07:08,970
Yeah!

825
01:07:11,340 --> 01:07:13,040
Who is that guy?

826
01:07:14,710 --> 01:07:16,400
Nonomura Hayano-sensei.

827
01:07:17,070 --> 01:07:18,820
Yamaguchi Chie-sensei.

828
01:07:19,290 --> 01:07:21,030
Hiramoto Ryuuichi-sensei.

829
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,720
Those twelve professors will be the judges.

830
01:07:27,330 --> 01:07:30,620
[first kanji on the left] Elementary

831
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,180
Now begins the elementary
school section of our competition.

832
01:07:31,210 --> 01:07:33,360
#1, Enomoto Rika-san.

833
01:07:35,110 --> 01:07:42,670
The qualifying piece is Mozart's Piano Sonata No.
8 in A minor, Köchel 310.

834
01:07:43,940 --> 01:07:45,270
Your own Mozart?

835
01:07:46,260 --> 01:07:50,840
I've been telling him to play the piano in his own style,
instead of copying others.

836
01:07:51,770 --> 01:07:54,620
He's already got everything he needs.

837
01:07:55,140 --> 01:07:56,640
Well that makes it easy!

838
01:07:58,350 --> 01:08:00,760
You should just play like you play the piano in the forest.

839
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,910
If that's all I can do, I'll be in trouble.

840
01:08:08,500 --> 01:08:10,780
She said it would be easy. Damn it...

841
01:08:21,970 --> 01:08:24,480
What now, you little brat?

842
01:08:29,870 --> 01:08:31,230
Hey, what's wrong?

843
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:33,820
Are you scared?

844
01:08:36,670 --> 01:08:39,070
I'm not scared. I'm crying because I'm disappointed.

845
01:08:39,530 --> 01:08:43,940
Because of Amamiya Shuuhei, my plans for winning
the regionals and going to the nationals are...

846
01:08:45,380 --> 01:08:46,840
Don't blame this on Amamiya!

847
01:08:48,630 --> 01:08:53,320
I can't believe that Amamiya has to compete
against pampered opponents like you!

848
01:08:53,950 --> 01:08:56,000
He's gonna be the best in Japan!

849
01:08:56,510 --> 01:09:03,830
It's obvious because he's spent his entire life
enduring painfully tough lessons to get here!

850
01:09:05,460 --> 01:09:05,970
Have you seen them?

851
01:09:06,900 --> 01:09:07,960
Have you seen those painful lessons?

852
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,030
Well, you can't see them.

853
01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:15,640
Well, what about my lessons?
Have you seen my lessons?

854
01:09:15,850 --> 01:09:18,440
What? How would I have seen them?

855
01:09:18,930 --> 01:09:22,510
So you have no idea and yet you say such evil things!

856
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:23,960
E-Evil?

857
01:09:25,990 --> 01:09:28,580
I've tried so hard.

858
01:09:31,630 --> 01:09:33,050
Geez, I've said too much.

859
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:37,080
Hey, Takako...

860
01:09:37,750 --> 01:09:38,480
I don't...

861
01:09:39,980 --> 01:09:41,590
I don't want to mess up.

862
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,160
I try not to mess up.

863
01:09:45,300 --> 01:09:46,320
I play my heart out.

864
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:47,890
Always...

865
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:50,300
I wear myself out.

866
01:09:52,540 --> 01:09:55,820
You're not gonna be able to concentrate
if you keep thinking such crazy thoughts.

867
01:09:56,250 --> 01:09:58,530
I know, but I can't help it!

868
01:09:58,710 --> 01:10:00,080
I guess there's nothing I can do.

869
01:10:00,950 --> 01:10:03,420
There is one way you can concentrate.

870
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,830
Think about the place that calms you down the most.

871
01:10:09,850 --> 01:10:12,710
Imagine it. Imagine that you're in that place.

872
01:10:15,330 --> 01:10:19,000
The piano's right in front of you.
It's just you and the piano.

873
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:23,180
The bathroom.

874
01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:29,950
Oh, geez. We're already running low on time.
Go ahead but hurry up.

875
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,350
No, I mean it's my favorite place,
the place that calms me down the most.

876
01:10:36,330 --> 01:10:37,020
The crapper?

877
01:10:42,270 --> 01:10:44,970
[first kanji on the left] Elementary

878
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:46,920
It's different!

879
01:10:47,670 --> 01:10:50,560
My bathroom is much bigger and prettier!

880
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:53,430
It's completely different from this one!

881
01:10:54,190 --> 01:10:58,140
Don't be so high and mighty!
You're just imagining it, so deal with it!

882
01:10:58,580 --> 01:11:02,550
My place is a forest,
even if there isn't a single tree here!

883
01:11:04,340 --> 01:11:06,730
I can't do it. I don't have Wendy with me.

884
01:11:07,190 --> 01:11:08,320
Who's Wendy?

885
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,560
It's no good unless my dog, Wendy, is by my side!

886
01:11:11,940 --> 01:11:13,660
A dog?

887
01:11:15,470 --> 01:11:17,320
You're not gonna find a dog here anywhere!

888
01:11:17,190 --> 01:11:21,770
I know that,
but when I pet her fur while I'm in the bathroom,

889
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,140
I calm down... I calm down...

890
01:11:25,830 --> 01:11:28,070
Yeah, I just pet her.

891
01:11:29,430 --> 01:11:30,450
It's that color, too.

892
01:11:37,370 --> 01:11:38,410
Wendy!

893
01:11:39,970 --> 01:11:42,040
No way...

894
01:11:43,690 --> 01:11:48,440
Would contestants #30 through #37
please begin their preparations backstage?

895
01:11:49,230 --> 01:11:52,200
Shuuhei-san, you're #31, aren't you?

896
01:11:53,570 --> 01:11:56,120
Takako-sama!

897
01:11:56,670 --> 01:12:00,190
What should I do? It's almost time!

898
01:12:00,890 --> 01:12:03,500
Takako-sama!

899
01:12:07,810 --> 01:12:08,920
Looks like it's time.

900
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:13,550
Can you do this?

901
01:12:14,060 --> 01:12:14,770
I don't know.

902
01:12:15,110 --> 01:12:15,880
You can do it!

903
01:12:24,970 --> 01:12:27,810
I wonder what happened to Kai-kun.

904
01:12:28,180 --> 01:12:30,260
We're continuing with #31.

905
01:12:31,130 --> 01:12:33,830
Amamiya Shuuhei-kun will be performing.

906
01:12:52,620 --> 01:12:53,250
Amamiya-kun.

907
01:12:53,870 --> 01:12:54,160
Yes, sir.

908
01:13:10,440 --> 01:13:11,340
Shuuhei-san...

909
01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:20,560
Oh, God of Piano...

910
01:13:24,330 --> 01:13:24,890
Please make me...

911
01:13:27,390 --> 01:13:28,090
number one!

912
01:14:12,060 --> 01:14:12,760
Yes.

913
01:14:13,980 --> 01:14:14,470
This is it.

914
01:14:17,020 --> 01:14:18,280
This is my piano.

915
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:35,420
Amamiya's amazing.

916
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:42,340
He's so cool.

917
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,500
I did it. I didn't mess up even once.

918
01:15:27,900 --> 01:15:28,580
It was flawless.

919
01:15:29,820 --> 01:15:31,070
Shuuhei-san...

920
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,090
Kai-kun, I'm sure that...

921
01:16:01,530 --> 01:16:02,300
I beat you.

922
01:16:07,150 --> 01:16:12,870
I guess I should have worn long pants like Amamiya
for this competition. Shorts don't really work.

923
01:16:19,100 --> 01:16:22,620
Amamiya Shuuhei's piano playing was flawless,
wasn't it?

924
01:16:23,500 --> 01:16:25,770
Yeah. But that doesn't matter.

925
01:16:26,390 --> 01:16:29,260
Takako, just play the best you can.

926
01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:34,280
I know, Wendy. My opponent is inside of me.

927
01:16:35,740 --> 01:16:36,320
I know that.

928
01:16:36,710 --> 01:16:38,460
Wendy... Wendy...

929
01:16:37,710 --> 01:16:38,940
The next performer is...

930
01:16:39,260 --> 01:16:42,430
#33: Maruyama Takako-san.

931
01:16:44,910 --> 01:16:48,180
Takako, just play like you're
in the bathroom with Wendy.

932
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:01,560
Young lady...

933
01:17:11,860 --> 01:17:14,690
Concentrate... Concentrate...

934
01:17:17,170 --> 01:17:19,780
Wendy, please save me.

935
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,510
Wendy, please save me. Wendy!

936
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:27,640
Wendy...

937
01:17:44,230 --> 01:17:44,890
Okay!

938
01:18:27,610 --> 01:18:29,090
Takako-sama!

939
01:18:44,690 --> 01:18:45,170
I did it.

940
01:18:48,650 --> 01:18:51,250
The level of talent is quite high this year.

941
01:19:10,290 --> 01:19:13,160
You did it!
You were the perfect "bathroom princess" out there.

942
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,760
Yup, perfect.

943
01:19:17,690 --> 01:19:18,350
Thank you.

944
01:19:19,470 --> 01:19:21,290
You're... You're...

945
01:19:22,330 --> 01:19:23,610
the best!

946
01:19:24,450 --> 01:19:25,440
Get off me!

947
01:19:26,590 --> 01:19:28,030
Sensei, what should I do?

948
01:19:28,530 --> 01:19:29,990
It's almost Kai's turn.

949
01:19:30,790 --> 01:19:32,730
My heart is pounding...

950
01:19:33,380 --> 01:19:37,940
I want to watch him. I really want to watch him,
but what if I can't stop my tears?

951
01:19:38,780 --> 01:19:40,330
If I can't watch him, what should I do?

952
01:19:41,930 --> 01:19:43,720
You understand, Ichinose.

953
01:19:45,430 --> 01:19:47,830
Your opponent isn't Mozart.

954
01:19:49,460 --> 01:19:52,750
You are your own opponent, Ichinose.

955
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,580
That was #36: Sasaki Maiko-san.

956
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:02,210
Kai-kun...

957
01:20:04,270 --> 01:20:05,660
Performing next is...

958
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,100
#37: Ichinose Kai-kun.

959
01:20:11,590 --> 01:20:12,220
Here I go.

960
01:20:22,110 --> 01:20:22,460
Kai...

961
01:20:23,330 --> 01:20:25,000
Do your best, Wendy.

962
01:20:41,510 --> 01:20:42,100
Kai-kun?

963
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,190
W-Wendy?

964
01:20:45,740 --> 01:20:46,280
Kai?

965
01:20:47,990 --> 01:20:49,940
Sh-Shit...

966
01:20:56,230 --> 01:20:59,540
S-So we meet again, Mozarts.

967
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:10,260
Shit!

968
01:21:12,260 --> 01:21:16,360
Weren't you guys just some
ghosts that I originally dreamt up?

969
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,720
I'll fight through you all...

970
01:21:31,390 --> 01:21:32,430
until I'm the only one left!

971
01:21:41,940 --> 01:21:43,940
Kai-kun. Amazing.

972
01:21:44,500 --> 01:21:46,280
Wendy's so good.

973
01:21:52,950 --> 01:21:54,220
This kid is skilled.

974
01:21:55,510 --> 01:21:56,050
Who is he?

975
01:22:07,290 --> 01:22:07,830
Ichinose...

976
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,690
Gah, I'm doing it.

977
01:22:13,620 --> 01:22:19,520
I was so worried about Mozart's ghost, I didn't realize
I was just parroting Ajino's damn playing style.

978
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,410
Oh, what a shock. It was his final chance, too.

979
01:22:23,980 --> 01:22:26,510
We're finally gonna get our score back.

980
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,740
He couldn't do it.

981
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,550
Give it back, you no-talent kid!

982
01:22:32,970 --> 01:22:33,800
Give it back!

983
01:22:33,890 --> 01:22:34,640
Give it back!

984
01:22:34,850 --> 01:22:35,510
Give it back!

985
01:22:35,660 --> 01:22:36,390
Give it back!

986
01:22:35,930 --> 01:22:36,640
Give it back!

987
01:22:36,810 --> 01:22:37,890
Give it back!

988
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:38,180
Give it back!

989
01:22:38,180 --> 01:22:38,730
Give it back!

990
01:22:51,950 --> 01:22:52,460
Kai-kun?

991
01:22:53,950 --> 01:22:54,340
Kai?

992
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,970
You idiot, Wendy! You can't stop!

993
01:23:01,510 --> 01:23:04,190
I don't believe it. Why, Kai-kun?

994
01:23:05,060 --> 01:23:08,980
You didn't mess up once.
If you could play like that until the end...

995
01:23:10,010 --> 01:23:10,560
If you could play...

996
01:23:16,070 --> 01:23:21,050
I'll give you back the Köchel 310 you're all clamoring for!

997
01:23:25,410 --> 01:23:26,710
What is he doing?

998
01:23:28,970 --> 01:23:31,170
I'll play my own Köchel 310—

999
01:23:43,020 --> 01:23:45,480
Let's go together, to the forest.

1000
01:24:07,770 --> 01:24:08,340
This is it.

1001
01:24:09,630 --> 01:24:10,300
This is the sound.

1002
01:24:12,030 --> 01:24:15,590
What's this? It's not Mozart.

1003
01:24:16,030 --> 01:24:18,730
Sensei, this is the piano in the forest.

1004
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:19,480
Yes.

1005
01:24:23,980 --> 01:24:27,690
He's playing the piano inside his own world now.

1006
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,760
Most likely, he's made us all into trees.

1007
01:24:35,650 --> 01:24:37,920
And he's turned this hall into the forest.

1008
01:26:14,070 --> 01:26:14,760
I did it.

1009
01:26:37,230 --> 01:26:39,590
Kai was so cool!

1010
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,030
You did it, Wendy!

1011
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:42,930
Yes, he did it.

1012
01:26:43,510 --> 01:26:44,600
Encore!

1013
01:26:44,390 --> 01:26:45,810
Encore!

1014
01:26:46,430 --> 01:26:47,720
Encore!

1015
01:26:57,060 --> 01:26:57,570
I...

1016
01:26:59,190 --> 01:26:59,660
lost.

1017
01:27:02,070 --> 01:27:05,760
I knew it all along. No matter how hard I tried...

1018
01:27:07,060 --> 01:27:08,220
I was still going to lose.

1019
01:27:09,690 --> 01:27:10,260
In the forest,

1020
01:27:11,770 --> 01:27:12,340
right from the start,

1021
01:27:13,190 --> 01:27:14,950
when I first heard you play the piano,

1022
01:27:18,970 --> 01:27:19,910
I knew it.

1023
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:27,930
Rei-chan! Ajino!

1024
01:27:29,030 --> 01:27:29,540
Kai!

1025
01:27:30,690 --> 01:27:32,790
I did it! I played my own piano!

1026
01:27:33,850 --> 01:27:36,630
How was it, Ichinose?
The best feeling imaginable, right?

1027
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:38,100
Nope, not at all.

1028
01:27:39,420 --> 01:27:41,720
Don't be so optimistic.

1029
01:27:42,450 --> 01:27:43,440
Wendy!

1030
01:27:45,020 --> 01:27:45,840
Takako!

1031
01:27:49,330 --> 01:27:53,100
Wendy, you were amazing!
How did you learn to play the piano like that?

1032
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,440
Wendy?

1033
01:27:54,780 --> 01:27:59,250
At this time,
the decisions of the twelve judges will be announced.

1034
01:28:00,230 --> 01:28:06,810
The announcement of the qualifiers
will be posted on a display board in the
reception lobby, so please wait a moment.

1035
01:28:14,670 --> 01:28:15,350
Can you see it?

1036
01:28:15,900 --> 01:28:16,460
Yeah.

1056
01:29:08,670 --> 01:29:11,010
No way. How could they fail you?

1057
01:29:11,670 --> 01:29:13,120
There must have been a mistake.

1058
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:14,270
Y-Yes!

1059
01:29:14,510 --> 01:29:15,900
That didn't happen.

1060
01:29:16,140 --> 01:29:16,880
But...

1061
01:29:18,140 --> 01:29:19,540
Good luck in the finals.

1062
01:29:21,770 --> 01:29:22,750
Wendy...

1063
01:29:23,990 --> 01:29:25,580
Is that true?

1064
01:29:25,930 --> 01:29:31,680
Yes, though they don't publish the scores,
I'm sure you were at the top.

1065
01:29:32,170 --> 01:29:34,640
That's not what I mean.
Kai wasn't chosen as a qualifier?

1066
01:29:34,950 --> 01:29:37,730
Well, yes, but that's not that surprising.

1067
01:29:38,220 --> 01:29:41,410
I mean, he just ignored the score
and played whatever he felt like.

1068
01:29:44,610 --> 01:29:45,520
Shuuhei-san!

1069
01:29:51,980 --> 01:29:54,300
I felt bad for Ichinose.

1070
01:29:55,670 --> 01:29:57,870
You can't give a ranking to his piano style.

1071
01:29:58,890 --> 01:30:02,590
He doesn't fit within the constructs of the competition.
You can't give him some standard ranking.

1072
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,220
It's unfortunate, but that's the nature of competitions.

1073
01:30:06,750 --> 01:30:08,130
Kai will be fine.

1074
01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,090
He'll get over it quickly.

1075
01:30:10,790 --> 01:30:12,550
Kai! You'll catch a cold!

1076
01:30:13,740 --> 01:30:15,140
It feels so good.

1077
01:30:16,090 --> 01:30:19,400
It's going to be a let down after
putting so much effort into this.

1078
01:30:20,230 --> 01:30:21,140
Ichinose-san.

1079
01:30:21,430 --> 01:30:22,220
Yes?

1080
01:30:22,930 --> 01:30:23,770
Ichinose...

1081
01:30:24,630 --> 01:30:28,330
No, Kai. May I introduce Kai to the world?

1082
01:30:30,610 --> 01:30:33,650
Japan is too small for his piano.

1083
01:30:35,180 --> 01:30:36,990
So let's show it to the world.

1084
01:30:37,780 --> 01:30:40,470
I'll take him to the rest of the world with me.

1086

Sensei!

1087
01:30:58,410 --> 01:30:59,530
Where's Kai-kun?

1088
01:30:59,930 --> 01:31:01,320
They just left to go home.

1089
01:31:01,460 --> 01:31:02,840
I-I see.

1090
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:08,450
Congratulations on qualifying.
You rarely hear such highly accomplished piano playing.

1091
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:11,950
Th-Thank you very much.

1092
01:31:13,420 --> 01:31:13,940
Sensei!

1093
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:16,500
Do you think...

1094
01:31:17,110 --> 01:31:23,480
Do you think I could play the piano and move people like
Kai-kun does? Will I be able to play like that someday?

1095
01:31:31,590 --> 01:31:35,970
You need to learn to love your own piano more.

1096
01:31:40,410 --> 01:31:45,780
If you can do that, I'm sure you'll understand.
You won't need to compare yourself to anyone.

1097
01:31:49,370 --> 01:31:50,990
You played the piano well.

01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:09,250
Okay, another big round of applause for Amamiya-kun!

1100
01:32:13,660 --> 01:32:19,890
Now, after that great news, I'm afraid I have
to give you some very unfortunate news.

1101
01:32:20,990 --> 01:32:28,480
It's rather sudden, but Amamiya-kun will be
going back to his old elementary school in Tokyo.

1102
01:32:31,340 --> 01:32:32,930
Now it's your turn, Amamiya-kun.

1103
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:38,610
I was only here for a short time,
but I will never forget you all. Thank you very much.

1104
01:32:55,820 --> 01:32:57,500
Well, we'll be going now.

1105
01:32:58,620 --> 01:33:00,770
Shall we go, Shuuhei-san?

1106
01:33:01,260 --> 01:33:03,090
Take care, Amamiya-kun.

1107
01:33:03,370 --> 01:33:03,980
Yes, ma'am.

1108
01:33:17,540 --> 01:33:18,700
Kai-kun...

1109
01:33:20,610 --> 01:33:24,080
Mom, go on ahead. I need to talk to Kai-kun.

1110
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,640
I'm sorry I didn't have the chance to tell you earlier.

1111
01:33:30,950 --> 01:33:35,120
It's fine. Just make sure you win the finals.

1112
01:33:36,450 --> 01:33:40,330
Amamiya, promise me that you'll
definitely become the best in Japan.

1113
01:33:42,130 --> 01:33:44,980
If you're not #1, then I'm done with you.

1114
01:33:48,100 --> 01:33:50,590
But you're the true #1.

1115
01:33:51,970 --> 01:33:54,390
I actually lost to you.

1116
01:33:55,900 --> 01:33:57,990
Wh-What's wrong, Amamiya?

1117
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:02,900
Okay, I'll promise you that.

1118
01:34:03,580 --> 01:34:06,110
I can't imagine an opponent better than you.

1119
01:34:07,180 --> 01:34:08,850
Don't say such stupid things!

1120
01:34:09,010 --> 01:34:11,290
Amamiya, don't underestimate the finals.

1121
01:34:11,450 --> 01:34:14,620
I mean, watch out for the Bathroom Princess!
She's a tough opponent.

1122
01:34:15,050 --> 01:34:16,640
Okay, I will.

1123
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,920
I'm gonna be really bored without you.

1124
01:34:24,550 --> 01:34:26,020
Super bored.

1125
01:34:28,100 --> 01:34:29,220
Kai-kun...

1126
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:37,110
All right, don't forget our promise! The best in Japan!

1127
01:34:39,810 --> 01:34:44,820
You'd better!
Because I'm always going to brag about you!

1128
01:34:47,180 --> 01:34:48,360
Kai-kun!

1129
01:34:49,010 --> 01:34:52,700
Amamiya, do your best. Do your best! Do your best!

1130
01:34:58,850 --> 01:34:59,790
Kai-kun...

1131
01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:02,090
Thank you.

1132
01:35:12,630 --> 01:35:17,430
If I had never met you,

1133
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:22,270
I'm sure I would have ended up hating the piano.

1134
01:35:24,020 --> 01:35:25,910
Oh, the forest...

1135
01:36:32,900 --> 01:36:42,770
onegai soba ni ite yo sugu ni nemuru kara
Please stay by my side as I'm about to fall asleep

1136
01:36:44,170 --> 01:36:53,400
tsuki no kagayaku yoru ga madobe made kiteru
The moon-lit night that's made its way to my window

1137
01:36:54,410 --> 01:37:06,680
kokoro ni kaketeta kagi no hazushita
Has unfastened the lock to my heart

1138
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:18,720
itami sae mo itsuka wa omoide e to
kawaru kara Since someday even my
grief will be transformed into memories

sweet dreams, until the morning comes

1140

I've had happy nights, and sleepless nights too

1141
01:37:57,430 --> 01:38:06,380

You know you've given both of those to me

1142
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:19,650
ashita wa watashi mo mori wo dete yuku
Tomorrow I'll be leaving the forest as well

1143
01:38:21,650 --> 01:38:32,210
hashiridashita omoi no yukisaki wa shiranai kedo
Though I don't know where my feelings have run off to

on to where the light is shining over you

When I nestle my face against you, you seem to melt

1146
01:39:01,820 --> 01:39:11,610
tonari ni zutto itai kedo
Even so, I want to be next to you forever

1147
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:23,390
yume no mori ga sugoshita toki wo kitto
wasurenai I'll never forget the time we
spent passing through the forest of dreams

1148

This is not our final goodbye

Farewell, until we meet again
