Nino,
this time is for real.
Goodbye.
Momo.
She's starting with "Noise"?
But the set list...
She's completely ignoring it?!
We're hiding how we truly feel
A new song?!
Your lips touch my throat while your voice turns to foam and disappears
Sweet!
Ever since that day, on the other side of your sound is where
My voice will always be
Alice.
I found it, and I'm sending it
Is it even harder to put the brakes on because you wrote the lyrics?
Can you hear me?
And really...
I'm standing in front of a whirlpool with only a song in my hand
Didn't you write this song about me? Don't sing it to him!
This is the only weapon I have
Now, let's dance
Around and around, tumbling as we dance and spin
On top of sound
Crossing, sounding, singing
Where the sound of the sand ends up
Around and around, revolving, you spin your tale
Toward a crucible of sound
This is a song to reach you
Hey, listen
I've missed you all this time
I'm so happy we met
I've missed you, I've missed you
I'm so happy we met
Let's put an end to the days where we fight alone
And grab hold of the sound overflowing from us
You and me
Let's smile together
Our goal is far, and we can only barely see it
Like the moonlight
Momo.
Let's hold hands and stamp our feet
Toward that light
Momo.
Gently, with our cobbled-together music
Sealing it with a kiss
Momo!
If you're here with me
I can keep going
Around and around, tumbling as we dance and spin
On top of sound
Crossing, sounding, singing
Where the sound of the sand ends up
Around and around revolving, never ending
Toward a crucible of sound
If I resound what's in my heart
Momo.
It will reach out
I won't let you leave!
To you
Not just Momo.
I'll make it so
all of them can never leave.
♭12 I Pray It Reaches You
What's that? They're really going nuts over there.
The Flight Stage?
In NO Hurry?
Wanna go take a look?
She dove right in.
What's she planning to do next?
Alice.
Here it comes!
"Canary"!
"Canary"! Score!
Fly!
Whether I'm awake or asleep, I sing
I'm nothing more than a canary
Drowning in sweet, glistening lies
Damn it! We're being dragged in.
Whether I'm awake or asleep, I peck
She can't hear us at all.
I'm not afraid of anything
She isn't just going a little wild. She's out of control!
I sleep in the depths of sweet nectar
When I sing, that alone makes me wonderful
What happened, Alice?
This is the same as our TV performance.
So let me stay here in this cage
No... This is even crazier.
When I shout, that alone makes me invincible
How far will you take this?
Right now, it's as if you're...
So please don't open this cage
a monster!
Amazing!
I'll fall
What's with that vocalist?
She's super fired up!
Straight down
In NO Hurry is crazy good!
Can we still get in?
So they weren't just selling on looks!
I'm being swallowed by waves of what is real and empty
No Diving
Diving, moshing, and other dangerous activities are forbidden.
There's no way we're getting in!
Start regulating entry or something!
An equation even God can't solve
Kuze-san, regulations were just put in place on In NO Hurry's stage.
Once you fall, you'll never find a way out
What song are they on?
You'll be painted completely black
The second one.
That was fast.
Well, we're still on our first song.
Silent killing, a pain that pierces into me
But still, Kiryuu-kun is like a different person today.
I lie with a smile to put a lid on my loneliness
I don't know how to put it. It's like he's full of emotion.
As I'm carried away by the flow, I awaken
My name is Canary
Alice, look at me.
Even if it's just for now.
All the sweet lies are empty
Just for now, please—
As I'm carried away by the flow, I am plucked
Mom?
And now I'm left with no more feathers
I fall deeper into the depths of the sweet darkness of the night
Yuzu stopped playing?!
What happened?
The song sounds empty!
I would have been fine if I had just averted my eyes from reality
That was why I was in this cage
Ninocchi's playing Yuzu-kun's part?
So don't do anything uncalled for
I thought she'd gone berserk, and now she's playing Yuzu's part on the spot.
I'll sing wherever I am
Sheesh, just how daring are you?
Fly high!
Yuzu, where are you looking?
What happened?
Even if the spell is broken
This is as far as I can play.
I don't think I can play the solo.
It's all garbage to my wet claws, and I laugh
Yuzu!
Pay attention!
Listen to me!
Kicking out all my gummies, tarts, and cream
Listen to my voice!
Please! Yuzu!
Fly away right now!
All right!
They're together again!
They're back!
When I sing, that alone makes me wonderful
But I don't need my cage anymore
Mom.
Not anymore
Music kills people!
When I shout, that alone makes me invincible
You're wrong. You should already know, Mom.
So please just leave me alone
Music
is the best thing ever!
It awakens
That thing deep inside me
It throbs
Is this the monster inside?
I'll swallow both poison and love whole, and open my beak wide
Even without my feathers, I'll still sing
Far, far away
To far, far away
Even if I'm completely naked, I'm not scared anymore
I'll keep on singing, because I'm a canary
She smiled.
I heard In NO Hurry is amazing.
Seriously?
Looks like there's a ton of people at the black cats' stage, too.
There are crowds at the gates for In NO Hurry. Can't get into Flight Stage. In NO Hurry has a full house!
They say In NO Hurry's vocalist is incredible.
Should we go to the Flight Stage, then?
Entry Regulated Do not pass this point
No Diving
Diving, moshing, and other dangerous activities are forbidden.
Please don't push! Don't push!
Damn it! Who decided to put In NO Hurry on this stage?
On this impulse that never dries up
My fingers and my voice can't stop.
And this eternally lovesick feeling
I'm just overflowing with so many feelings that I can't stop.
I've quietly turned the key and...
The crowd is all wound up.
It's quiet.
Even if this is the last time...
Even if I destroy my voice, I don't care.
I don't care anymore!
That's why!
I'm letting it rip.
Nino.
Your voice was the only light in my life.
If I could have, I would have liked to be with you forever.
If I could have, I wish I could've thrown everything away,
and just kept writing songs for you alone.
But it was all a dream.
It was just a dream.
I wanted to tell you that I liked you.
Alice, you're singing as if this will be your last time.
Don't screw with me!
I need you
to keep singing the songs I write!
Snap out of it, stupid mask girl!
I won't let you get distracted anymore.
Alice, let's crush this.
He's right. Let's sound out with all of our sound.
Isn't this...
I'm getting excited.
The sounds I couldn't hear before...
The cheers I couldn't hear...
I can hear them all now.
Here it comes.
Now, it's time for our last song!
I won't let you leave.
Momo...
I'll reach you!
Momo!
All right, everyone!
It's been a while, but it's time to start up our light music club again.
Welcome to the club—wait, we're the only two here!
Miou said she'd come after she took care of a few things.
I have to give up already.
You look horrible.
Miou.
When are you going to start singing again?
I don't know.
Looks like Kiryuu-kun transferred, huh?
I don't care about that stupid punning four-eyes.
Can you really give up like this?
Want some candy?
Are you listening to me?
Now, question one.
Find the following values in f(x) = -2x + 3.
First, for f(x)...
I didn't reach him.
If even that voice didn't reach him,
then I have to give up already.
This is for you. It's Momo's guitar.
I feel like this is the first time I've touched him.
I'll sing.
Until it reaches him.
Until he looks my way.
I couldn't reach him.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I mean, I sang with all my might...
I sang until I hit my limits...
But I couldn't reach Momo.
Ever since then, I've always...
always, always...
been overflowing with songs that I wanted you to sing.
I'll write for tomorrow.
I'll write my own sound.
I won't stop.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
What should I do?
I see. You're the same stupid mask girl as always.
Do you really think that was your limit?
That was it?
What do you mean, "that was it"?!
I was singing with all I had!
I was desperate!
I put so much into it, I felt like it'd be okay if I could never sing again.
Are you going to give up?
Can you really give up?
You always come out of the blue, Nino-chan.
Why are you here today?
Sorry to bother you during work.
Kuze-san, well—
If you're looking for Momo, I still haven't found him.
I see...
This is Rock Horizon, isn't it?
Yeah.
Huh?
For a second there, didn't it look like Momo stopped to look into the distance?
Oh, that part?
After the concert, he told me
that he heard your voice for a second.
He heard my voice?
Yes.
So it reached him?
Alice, let's crush this.
He's right. Let's sound out with all of our sound.
Isn't this...
I'm getting excited.
The sounds I couldn't hear before...
The cheers I couldn't hear...
I can hear them all now.
Here it comes.
Now, it's time for our last song!
I won't let you leave.
Momo...
I'll reach you!
Empty words
And conversations full of lies
And scratches left on the desk
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
Alice, I've kept on writing because I wanted you to sing my songs.
But I thought that wish would never come true, so I'd decided this song would be my last.
When I say, "Look at me"
But this is the song that let us meet again.
These unrequited feelings will never change
The path we took can never be changed
Finally...
Just let everything go
Finally, your voice
Far out into the sky
has come close enough that I can reach it!
Shout out! This song is the melody inside you
Overflowing with all your love, wishes, and lies
My voice, and everyone's sound,
right now,
Shout out!
have perfectly combined into one!
I'm hiding my heart by singing
Reach him.
Come to me
Reach him.
My voice!
Hear the sound of my heart
Sound out!
The words stuck in my throat and my eyes
Our sound!
The girl who's forever swimming
Reach him! Reach him!
A lie that only I know
Momo!
Apparently, the black cats' show ended earlier than expected.
Get going, Alice.
Damn it. How stupid am I?
Nino? What are you doing?
Come here.
Have some self-awareness. You're a performer.
Did Momo go to see you before the concert, by any chance?
Yes.
He's disappeared.
So, Rock Horizon is happening right now,
and we're bringing you a live feed!
Take a listen to In NO hurry to Shout's "High School."
Empty words
And conversations full of lies
And scratches left on the desk
Momo.
Momo!
I put everything...
I put everything into my song just now, and yet...
I couldn't stop you again.
Now I can never see you again!
Momo...
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Momo,
I wish I could have at least
How I wonder what you are
told you I like you.
Up above the world so high
You never change. You still sleep with your arms up like that.
What are you doing?
Relax.
The contest is off.
I'm going to disappear.
Disappear?
You're gonna pull the same thing as six years ago?
Leaving again without saying you like her?
Screw you.
Screw you!
I'm going to take Alice for sure this time.
Momo,
I like you.
Seriously, screw him.
That clueless punner.
I reached him.
Goodbye.
I couldn't stop him.
But, for just a moment,
just a moment,
I reached him.
I'll ask you again.
Why are you here today?
I came to get a running start.
Yuzu.
Alice?
Why are your bangs all crooked?
They got in the way when I was running, so I cut them.
That's way too avant-garde!
Thank you.
Thank you, Yuzu.
I can't give up on Momo.
So I won't run away anymore.
That's how she always, always is.
Me, too.
I won't run away.
No matter how shaken you get, you always run with all your might in the end.
And you always end up standing in front of this ocean.
We're hiding how we truly feel.
Our one and only wish.
Please...
I pray it reaches you.
