Music King here to announce a special performance by hip newcomers to the scene!
In NO Hurry to Shout is finally making an appearance!
The Mysterious Eyepatched and Masked Band
Oh, hey, it's In NO Hurry.
The other day, I spotted a childhood friend of mine at school.
You mean Nino-chan?
I'm surprised you remembered her name.
I remember everything you say.
You're scaring me.
Aw, don't praise me so much.
So? Did you say anything to her?
No. I didn't talk to her, and I plan to keep it that way.
I'm in the advanced class, so we're not even in the same building.
Why won't you talk to her?
I'm sure if I met her, I wouldn't be able to compose music anymore.
They keep everything about them hidden, from their identities to their profiles.
In No Hurry, or In No Hurry to Shout, the band that hides behind masks and eyepatches.
I thought they'd absolutely never appear on TV.
After the turmoil over their breakup, they're back for their TV debut!
Look forward to it!
♭03 Whatever It Takes, Right Now
After singing for six years,
I finally found Yuzu.
But I haven't reached Momo at all.
You'll see him again.
Is it enough to just keep singing like I have?
Will that reach him?
That was In NO Hurry, wasn't it?
It was "High School," for sure.
Now I want to listen to it.
Me, too.
In NO Hurry's songs are reaching everyone.
But my song won't work as a guide yet.
That's right. It's just not enough.
There's something lacking in my song.
Light Music Club
I'm quitting as your vocalist.
Huh?!
Well, having me around isn't going to help Yuzu write music.
He could only write before because he thought of me as Arisugawa Nino.
Th-That's not how it was at all!
Exactly right
Yuzu-kun, check your forehead.
I hate lies.
As time went by, you could write less and less.
But as soon as you met Alice again, you could write perfectly fine again.
Yuzu, you can write music again?
You never told us that, Yuzu-kun!
And you want me to keep this up, knowing I'm not good enough?
I can't do that!
Um, excuse me. I have something I'd like to ask you.
What?!
Stay away from here! You suck at singing!
Oh, no! Don't tell me we've got a catfight on our hands!
So? What are you gonna do, Yuzu-kun?
There's the topic of disbanding, too.
We'll talk through everything with Yana tomorrow.
Mushroom-san!
Mushroom?
Do I suck at singing?
What?
I want to know!
Too close!
You're the only one close to me that I know of who sings, Mushroom-san!
Stop calling me Mushroom! My name's Suguri Miou.
Please tell me, Suguri-san.
What does my singing lack?
What? You're so pushy.
If you want me to tell you if you're good or bad, you're not good.
But you have an interesting voice with impact, so there are probably those who'd like you.
Does that mean it can't reach far?
What do I need to change?
You don't need to change anything, really.
No, I do!
I want to change my voice into something that'll reach everyone around the globe.
I want it to reach the person I like.
Th-The person you like?! Don't tell me he's a tiny milk addict!
No, he's an austere person with glasses and a sense of dignity.
What? So he's a forty-something?
He's my age.
What kind of first-year is that?
I haven't heard from him in six years.
But he told me we can use my song as a guide to find each other again.
That's why I sing.
Huh? That's totally out there.
Even so, I want to do everything I can.
If I'm lacking something, I want to fix that.
Come with me.
I'll take you down a notch or two.
Abdominal respiration.
What you lack is the basics.
You're completely reckless.
You're way down at the very bottom of everything.
I'm at the bottom of everything?
But it's frustrating how much you draw people to you.
Teach me abdominal respiration, Suguri-san!
Huh?! Wait...
In other words...
In other words,
I just have to crawl my way to the top!
Right...
I'll find out everything I'm lacking,
learn everything I can,
and take off from there.
Anything I can do to get just a little higher.
How did I get stuck doing this?
But it's been a while since I've practiced this much.
You were just lacking so much,
I was almost ready to give up.
Suguri-san, you're amazing.
You know exactly where you belong, and what you're lacking.
If I had that, I could take action right now.
Thank you, Suguri-san.
I'll definitely get better.
I'm not going to lose either, Nino.
Got it, Miou.
I want to get better.
This is the first time I've felt this way.
Voice Training
Yuzu.
Abdominal respiration.
Yuzu!
It reached him.
It reached him!
Yuzu! Yuzu! Yuzu! Yuzu! Yuzu!
Shut up!
I'll make it reach even further,
until it can reach Momo. For sure.
Jeez, what was that all about? Yelling my name five times in a row...
Well, if it isn't Eyelashes.
You take this train, too?
Don't call me Eyelashes! I told you, I'm Yuzuriha!
I'm going to Kamakura.
I'm going to North Kamakura, Lash.
Don't shorten it. Fine, just call me Eyelashes.
Thanks. You're pretty nice, Eyelashes.
Sakaki, you're a real weirdo, aren't you?
Am I?
What's so funny, Eyelashes?
Yeah, yeah.
So, for our third week, we'll have the TV debut of In NO Hurry to Shout!
And they'll perform their highly anticipated new single!
Look forward to it!
I wonder what their new song will be like.
Now, we'll end this week's show with this song!
Namimachi Berry Baby
Lyrics: Kuze Tsukika Composition: Kiryuu Momo
Kiryuu... Momo!
Kiryuu... Isn't that Momo's mother's maiden name?
Composition? Don't tell me...
Profile
Kiryuu Momo Sex: Male Blood Type: AB
The same sex and blood type as my Momo.
I'd like to meet Kiryuu Momo-san.
O-Only people affiliated with our company may see him.
Then can you at least tell me what kind of person he is?!
I don't know myself.
Vocalist Audition Be produced by Kiryuu Momo
Applicants may choose any song.
The successful candidate will be the main vocalist of a band set to debut this summer.
If I make it through that audition, will I be able to meet Kiryuu Momo?!
Huh? Well, yes.
Thanks for everything!
I'm going to apply for that audition.
If I make it through the screening,
I'll be able to see whether Kiryuu Momo is my Momo or not!
Is this...
Let's make Arisugawa Nino the new vocalist.
I'm the one who recommended her.
Her voice has the best kind of impact you'll need
to make your presence known in the major scene.
Yuzu, it's up to you, but—
No!
Didn't I tell you I want to quit?
So why are things going in this direction?
There's absolutely no way.
I don't get him.
Why is he so against it?
Didn't he put this band together in the first place for her?
Yuzu just doesn't
want anyone else to know about his voice.
Worn-out smiles
In the prison prepared by adults
Under the dark sky
When I stretch out my hand
You slip and fall
You wrench open your falling eyelids
Believe you'll reach him and keep singing.
When I say, "Look at me"
I'm sure you'll see him.
It's because of his words and his song
These unrequited feelings will never change
that I've been able to keep on going without hesitating.
Just let everything go, far out into the sky
Shout out! This song is the melody inside you
Damn it. She's just the best.
Overflowing with all your love, wishes, and lies
Why?
Shout out!
I'm hiding—
It took me until morning to finish writing my résumé.
"Be Produced by Kiryuu Momo! Vocal Audition" Entry
Send
Sending!
Your entry has been sent. Thank you for your application.
Please let me be accepted!
I'd better report to Yuzu, too!
This is bad.
I can't stop.
I'm overflowing.
Well, of course. I've always...
I've always written songs because I wanted Alice to sing them.
Kanade?
Are you still sleeping? You're going to be late.
I-I'm awake! I'll be fine!
Yuzu, shocking news flash.
Too close!
I found someone who may be Momo!
He's a composer.
Have you heard of Kiryuu Momo?
I have.
He's holding an audition where he'll produce the winner, so I applied.
If I make it through, I might be able to meet him.
Momo's a composer?
Oh, well, Kiryuu Momo is.
I still don't know if he's the real Momo or not yet.
Huh? I thought you'd be happy for me.
If you get accepted, are you going to sing Momo's songs?
Oh, I never thought about what I'd do if I got accepted.
But that's right. I guess that's what—
No!
It's nothing.
Yuzu, what's the matter?
I said it's nothing.
Yuzu!
I just can't accept this.
After all, it was Arisugawa Nino's fault that Yuzu lost his ability to sing.
If he hadn't sung for her six years ago,
he might have recovered enough to be able to sing now.
What? Wait...
I won't sing.
Wait.
I'll turn into foam and disappear.
Wait!
He's lying.
What Haruyoshi said is a lie, okay?
Wait... Wait. Wait!
I can sing... just fine.
That's right.
He told me he wouldn't sing.
He would never sing.
But that one time...
Just that one time, when he tried to stop me...
That's right.
The week after he sang with me...
Yuzu disappeared.
Yuzu... Yuzu!
Shut up! I can sing!
Just watch!
It's that song.
He's trying to sing it.
Yuzu!
I can sing, okay?
I can... sing.
Yuzu...
I'm just not feeling well today!
It's because I screamed back then.
That's why...
You're wrong! It's not your fault.
I didn't sing back then just to see this look on your face.
I just wanted you to keep singing forever.
So you'd better not ever worry about it.
Never, ever worry about it.
Just sing.
I found it.
My voice.
Six years ago, I was hospitalized due to an illness in my throat.
I used to like writing songs and singing them.
But I was told to never sing again once I was hospitalized.
That's why I snuck out on Wednesdays,
and wrote music as large as I could on Yuigahama Beach.
It was my way of venting my anger.
And that's when I heard you sing.
I thought I had found the voice I had lost.
After singing with you, I was transferred to a hospital in Tokyo.
But I wanted so much for you to sing that song until the end.
So I snuck out just one more day and wrote it.
Before the concert we did together, when you sang that melody,
I was really happy.
I thought you were singing my song, just like always.
Alice, I want you to keep singing—
I can't!
I'm sorry, Yuzu.
I'm the one who should be saying sorry, Alice.
I'm the one who tore up your heart.
But that moment when you learned everything...
One of the dreams I've always hoped would come true
finally came true.
You sang for me.
For the first time,
you sang only for me.
Tsukika-san, what's the meaning of this?
You let her in because you knew she was Nino, didn't you?
Oh, so that really is Nino-chan.
I'll be blunt. I didn't let her in because she was Nino-chan.
You know, that girl
recorded by the sea or something. The sound of waves was overwhelming.
Not only that, she recorded with her phone, so the sound quality is awful.
But she had a voice that was far more memorable than anyone else's.
I don't have anything to hide or be scared of anymore.
I want to steal you from Momo.
I'll tell Alice
Whatever it takes.
Right now.
that I want her to be the vocalist of In NO Hurry.
