List.
Don't Like:
People who are all talk
Grownups who are liars!
People who worry about appearances
Hypocrites who pretend to be fair
Myself! I hate myself!! Moron!!
Like:
Animals. Only the cute ones. Like cats.
Milk tea. Lemon's okay, too.
Black. Blue. And gray, as long as it's dark.
Also... Myself.
How many times have I told you not to read my stuff?
Why did you read it? Are you a moron?!
It's just a memo anyway!
It's. Just. A. Memo!
Got that?
Okay, then come with me...
It's. Just. A. Memo!
So this is the comb you mentioned?
You're right, it is unusual.
Do you want me to ask Forensics to take a look?
They might find a clue.
That's okay.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
My memories are important, but I've decided to be patient.
Here it comes!
The Guardian?
Want to try reeling him in?
If I reeled in the Guardian, that would be another memory, right?
Of course!
I think I can see it!
Hey!
My memory got away.
Sorry, I let my guard down.
Huh? Something wrong?
Yosuke?
What about you, Hanamura-senpai?
Is something the matter?
Yes! That's right! Please...
You guys, you gotta help me out!
If I don't act fast, I'll have to transfer to another school!
What?
An on-stage event? Me?
Please! It's the only way!
For me... for my old man... for Junes... Do us this favor, will you?
Hey, hold up a sec!
How does Rise-chan going onstage help you and Junes?
We've got to draw a big crowd, no matter what.
All our plans got totally messed up...
Does this have anything to do with that event at the Inaba Police Station that got canceled?
What do you mean?
This Sunday, the idol singer, Kanami Mashita was supposed to serve as an honorary police chief...
Who's that?
Kanamin
An idol singer whose star is currently on the rise.
She's often touted as the one to watch in the post-Rise Kujikawa era.
And it's Kanamin's honorary police chief event that they suddenly canceled...
I hear that the police didn't have time to prepare for her because of that uproar when I went missing.
I'm really sorry about that...
It's not your fault, Naoto.
So what does that falling through have to do with you, Hanamura-senpai?
We planned the sale to take advantage of the crowd that would come for Kanamin,
so my dad's really in a jam now...
That's why you thought you could draw a crowd if Rise-chan did a show?
You're telling me to take Kanami's place?
So there's no way, huh?
My dad's being so nice, for some reason.
Would they really can a store manager over this?
If that happens, then neither of us can stay in this town...
That's what you meant by transferring.
You mean you're not going to be around anymore?
Just singing and handshakes.
You're cool with it?
But with one condition.
You all have to be onstage with me.
Hey, what kind of twist is that all of a sudden?
What do you think you're gonna make us do?
Be my backup band, of course!
Band...
No sound's coming out.
It must be broken, right?
It's making this whooshing sound...
Think you can handle it?
Whoa...
You gotta be kidding me...
That's amazing!
Have you done this before?
You totally rock!
That's awesome.
All right, do you think you can play this section?
What about the song you just played?
Now this.
Why can't you play anything but that?
How should I know?
By the way, what are these tadpoles drawn all over this sheet?
Come to think of it, I can't read sheet music at all.
Me neither.
I guess I'll be transferring out then, huh?
Don't worry.
When you transfer schools, we're all going with you.
Over my dead body.
It's too soon for you to give up.
About this song...
It actually repeats the same pattern quite a lot.
Melody A, melody B, chorus.
It's all the same pattern, repeated twice.
Now that you mention it...
Also, the number of chords used is actually quite paltry.
Since you have experience, Hanamura-senpai,
and I can play up to a point, I think we can pull it off.
Just like a great detective!
Not that being a detective has anything to do with it!
Naoto-kun!
What about me?
What should I do?
If you could both just nail that intro, Satonaka-senpai and Amagi-senpai...
All right! Roger that! I'm gonna get pumped up!
And I'll pump some sound out of this.
Okay, that's the spirit.
Memories...
I've got to make them.
Damn!
Just look at the time!
Don't worry!
I thought this might happen,
so I got permission to use the Junes warehouse!
Hanamura-senpai, you rock!
Okay, everyone bring their instruments, and let's hit the road!
Right!
Band practice?
Yeah, he just called to tell me that he'd be late because of that.
I hear they're going to do a concert at Junes.
Oh, yeah?
Sounds like they're enjoying their youth!
Is Big Bro gonna sing a song?
I want to go see him!
Sure, why not? Want to go with me?
Yes!
Adachi, you coming, too?
I'll take a pass.
What's this, you sure?
You've been pretty tight with Yu these days, am I right?
You seem to be hanging out with him a lot.
Good work today, you guys!
See you tomorrow!
Bye!
Yeah! See ya!
Let's get something to eat on our way home.
Yeah, good idea!
What should we have?
I'm going to practice some more.
Since I have the time.
But... where?
In the Velvet Room.
The Nose kicked me out.
Said I was too noisy.
Reality sure bites, huh?
Even if I ignore my uneasiness, my heart feels blue
In the end, another morning when I feel lost will dawn again
Yu-senpai...
And Marie-chan! What are you...?
We thought we'd get in some morning practice. You, too, Rise?
N-No...
I was just warming up my voice, that's all.
L-Let's get going!
It's a little early, but I'm sure the others will be here soon!
Sure.
One, two, three, four!
W-Was that me?
It wasn't me, all right? After all, this doesn't make any sound.
Our cutting-edge, young audience seeks unpredictability from music as well.
A strange sound suddenly rings out!
And that is...
a sinful betrayal beyond anyone's expectations.
Can you feel it?
Oh, yeah, I feel it all right.
"Teddie's the culprit!" That's what you mean, right?
Are we really gonna get it together in time?
I'm starting to think we're doomed no matter what.
The moment you give up...
It's game over.
Sensei!
I... I...
I want to be in the band!
What kind of farce is this?
Why don't we take a short break?
We've been going at it all morning...
Yes, good idea.
Marie, let's take a break.
I can't.
That would be a waste of time.
I've got to get this right...
Get it right...
Otherwise, I can't make any memories...
Hey!
Marie?
Are you okay?
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
There's no way that that doesn't hurt!
Hey, we're going to the infirmary.
I said I was fine!
Yeah, but...
Marie-chan...
Marie, don't push yourself too hard.
What do you think is the most important thing for a pro to do?
It's to always make it onstage in tip-top condition.
Sudden illness, accidents...
No matter what the situation may be, if you don't make it onstage...
You're a failure as a pro.
Keep yourself in tip-top condition and get onstage.
If you can't do that, then there's no point, no matter how hard you practice.
Don't worry, Hanamura-senpai.
Now that I've taken this on, I'm going to give it my all.
"Oh, I'll do my best..." I didn't take this on lightly, all right?
I'm going to sing my heart out in front of all the people who come to see us!
So you guys...
Let's give it everything we've got till the end!
Oh, wow, there's a pro among us...
You said it.
All right, then shall we carry on a little longer?
Guess we're gonna have to.
Marie-chan, are you gonna be okay?
Yes, I'll be okay.
I can do this.
All right, guys, let's do this!
Right!
Today I closed the deepest part of my soul again
I want you to see, I don't want to show it... A never-ending circle...
Want to grab a bite on our way home?
I'd like something that I can eat while I'm jogging.
Oh, so we have to keep running in mind?
Those guys are working pretty hard, huh?
Yeah.
I wish there was something we could help with.
Risette's doing a concert?
Seriously?
You mean she's gonna go back to being an idol?
That's huge news!
That was pretty good, don't you think?
It sounded passable!
Yes! We sounded good!
Then...
It's tomorrow, huh?
Crap! Now that it's really happening, I'm getting nervous all of a sudden!
You're getting spooked now?
If you're a man, then you'll be lights out!
That's right!
We're gonna be lights out!
Yes. I'm sure we'll be fine.
Right?
Not just "sure."
We're absolutely going to be fine.
You guys!
It's okay to be nervous.
Because there's a certain power you can get from concerts that makes even getting nervous fun!
Don't think you have to do it perfectly.
The audience wants to have fun, you know.
So we should be having fun first!
All right, let's go!
Let's thank our fans, our friends, and ourselves!
Complete combustion! One-shot victory!
All together...
Yeah!
Hurry up and bring it over! We're out of time!
Yes, sir!
Rise-chan sure is late.
Damn her!
After acting so cocky, what the hell's she doing?
What's going on, Rise?
Did something happen?
Senpai! Help me!
At this rate, I...
What should I do? I won't make it to the concert!
Rise-chan, you there?
Let us see your face!
There's a whole crowd of people in front of my house...
Looks like someone launched a false rumor on the net
about me doing a comeback concert and meet-and-greet.
I can't leave my house with that crowd here!
They're all people who want to see your concert, right?
So why don't you invite them to come over here?
We can't do that!
We already handed out all of the numbered tickets for the show this morning.
If they find out that they can't see it even if they come over...
They might start a riot, huh?
And if that happens, the sale goes right out the window!
Jeez!
Anything but that!
What should we do?
I've got an idea.
How long are you gonna keep us waiting?
Can you get this thing started, Risette?
No meet-and-greet yet?
Risette, we know you're there!
Hey! Look over there!
Fancy seeing Risette in a place like that!
It's Risette!
Wait up!
I'm leaving the rest to you!
There's so many people.
Yeah.
You're getting spooked now, Senpai?
But...
For now... Let's have some faith and wait.
Yeah.
Dad, hurry!
I've still got some work to do, you know!
Yu gave you a ticket, didn't he?
I have a right to choose, too...
When is this thing gonna start?
How long are you gonna make us wait?
No good. She's not picking up.
I can't get a hold of Chie, either.
What are we gonna do?
We can't keep them on ice much longer.
But what can we do without Ms. Kujikawa?
What do you think is the most important thing for a pro to do?
You guys! Let's give it everything we've got till the end!
Marie...
She's definitely coming. So...
That's right.
Let's believe.
You guys...
Let's go!
Even if I ignore my uneasiness, my heart feels blue
In the end, another morning when I feel lost will dawn again
If all I do is feel, I won't reach you
Change yourself...
Leave it up to the gods
Can't do that!
Just Find... The truth is I could hear it
Your sad voice,
all this time
Shake hands
Holding hands with courage...
Now, the stars
Are turning into a constellation
Shout Friends
Just the words that we mean...
Let them echo all the way to the ends of the earth!
Ring Bells!
The sound of our bells
Will begin opening
the door to tomorrow
True Story
Encore! Encore!
Hey, I'm getting all fired up!
This is the real thrill of a concert! Good thing I did my homework!
Stupid Teddie...
He's in no shape to perform.
We're going next, right?
Of course!
All right!
Let's show them how real men do it!
They're too good... at dodging.
Men can't stand on their faces, huh?
Never knew that.
Cheers!
You guys, thanks a lot! I'm saved!
Thanks to you, the sale was a huge success, too!
Well, it doesn't sit well with me!
Why did I have to dress up like a girl?
But you said you wanted to help them out.
Not like this, I didn't!
Thanks, Ichijo-kun!
As a cross-dresser, you looked like the real thing!
What's up with him?
I guess he felt like running?
He's an athlete, after all.
Marie?
Were you able to create a memory?
Hey, I forgot.
Because I was so into it...
Well, that's pretty normal.
It's because you can get so absorbed that it becomes a memory later.
That's right.
Seeing you as a pretty vocalist, Marie-chan...
That's totally burned into my memory!
You moron!
I'm not gonna say "hello, goodbye," okay?
I'm all sweaty, I'm going to cool off.
What's this...
From down there?
Hey, hey... Big Bro and the others were really cool, weren't they?
Yes, they were.
You think?
This is all your fault.
There's no profit or loss involved when you're helping each other out.
Help each other out... Right.
You must be lonely.
Shut up! Shut up!
Shut your mouth!
