Now, the one who is drowning and unable to breathe...
...is Mao-sensei.
That's why...
...I want you to go there and save her.
I...
...can't breathe.
You're such a fool, Yaeko-chan.
All the cells in my body...
...actually said, "Don't go".
Why...?
I've told you I'd listen to you, right?
Now...
...your eyes are different.
I already knew that...
...since a long time ago.
I myself don't really understand...
Sorry...
Just for a while...
It's okay.
I'll get back on my feet again soon.
Don't force yourself.
Just take your time.
Sorry that I couldn't go shopping before.
I'm running out of coffee.
It's okay...
Black tea... well...
Didn't you use to hold it tightly like this?
Ah... I don't think so.
But I'm glad.
It's over before I let you down.
You didn't let me down or something like that.
But...
It's okay.
You weren't wasting your time, Rihito-kun.
I'm glad to know that.
But it doesn't change that you're an important person for me.
When you feel down, I want to give you strength.
It hasn't changed even now. And...
...I understand that it's okay even though...
...it hasn't changed.
That's why I came here.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Um...
...I have lots of worries.
About my hand's treatment...
...I'm thinking about having a surgery or not.
And also, basically...
...whether I should just stop playing violin or not.
Mm-hmm.
If I stop playing violin...
...I wonder what will I have then?
Mm-hmm.
"I'm at the usual karaoke."
"Yaeko-chan is here too."
Kimagure ka na? Demo kamawanai.
Am I moody? But I don't care.
Kimi to itai kara.
Because I want to be with you.
Memeshikute, memeshikute. Hikari wo abite.
Unmanly, unmanly. Bathing in the light.
- What is this? - Ah, sorry, sorry.
It's my fault. I wanted to cheer her up so I let her drink.
Yaeko-chan, Rihito-kun is coming. Rihito-kun is back.
OOOH, RIHITO! YOU'RE BACK!
- HOW IS SENSEI? - Huh?
HOW IS MAO-SENSEI? IS SHE OKAY BEING ON HER OWN?
Mao-san...
She felt so down, but in the end, she said that she's okay.
She told me to go home because she's fine already.
But for a while...
...she wanted to part from violin.
I think it will take some time.
You're right.
It's not as simple as we think.
Yeah.
But I'm sure...
You're right.
After all...
...everyone...
...has to get back on their feet with their own strength.
Thank you for going to her place.
I'm glad I went there.
- Yaeko-san... - YOSH!
- Let's drink! - What?!
Let us... let us drink together!
No... ah, Yaeko-chan, it's enough.
Because, you know...
To be together like this... and drink together...
We never did this before, right? It's such an amazing miracle...
- Ah, it's dangerous! - How dangerous.
- Yaeko-chan, you drink too much. - Hey...
- Huh? - Ah...
Just for a little longer...
Okay? Let's drink together.
God, thank you.
For letting us...
...arrive at this point.

G Senjou no Anata to Watashi
Episode 8. Dear Our Beloved Ones
Ah, my head hurts...
Rihito-kun, Rihito-kun.
- Listen, listen, listen. - Good morning. Sorry.
I skipped breakfast...
Say, Rihito-kun.
Do you feel like confessing your feeling?
Why...!? Ah...
Yesterday, I hung out with Hiro-kun's friends and their mommies to Laza walk's Kids Land.
Then, there was a fortune-telling corner nearby.
I tried to go there.
And after I asked Hiro-kun's fortune to be told, I also asked about all our family members.
- Then... - Why did you ask everyone's fortune?
- She said that you would get brokenhearted. - What?!
Now, your feeling is blooming greatly.
But if you want to confess your feeling, make sure you do it after November 24th.
24th...?
If you confess now, you'll be rejected.
And somehow, an important event will be ruined too.
- Who cares about such thing... - After 24th, okay?
- Ah... - Ah.
- Ah... - Ah...
Ah...
You're early today. Yukie-san and I will have lesson after this.
Ah, yeah. Well, um...
I just... well, I could spare some time...
...so I want to go to the karaoke first and practice there.
Ah... I see.
I see... I see, I see.
Well then... see you later.
Wait.
Yes?
If you confess now, you'll be rejected.
And somehow, an important event will be ruined too.
- Huh? - No... ah, yeah.
See you later.
Yeah... bye.
What the heck?
But if I go to Mao-san's place alone now...
...it will just create another impression. It's not like that. Now, I...
What's with 'It's not like that'?
What's with 'Now, I~'?
Ah... believing in fortune-telling like that...
Am I a little girl?!
Sorry, but watching you two, I can't stand it anymore.
- Ah... - It's already 1 week since that time. What did you do?
I know it's none of my business.
- But... - Can I do it after everything is over?
Do you mean the three-con?
First, I want to play violin properly.
Together with you two.
Me too.
Somehow... if it doesn't go well...
...it will ruin our concert and I don't want that.
Well, but you both are already...
- Huh? - Ah... hmm...
Okay then, I understand.
Then, for the time being, let's act just like usual.
- Like the usual mood, okay? - Ah... yeah.
- Like usual. - Yeah.
Is it okay? Physically, you should be the most skillful one among us.
It's weird, right? What's the heck? Is this all you can do?
- Isn't your lesson fee just wasted? - What the...
Why are you suddenly changed?
- Don't you think it's too harsh? - What?
Kitagawa-san too.
Please be aware that among us, you had the longest absence in playing violin.
- Yes! I'm sorry! - Starting from today, we'll do this seriously.
- So you haven't been serious before? - Huh? I mean...
I... I did it seriously, of course. No, I mean...
- Starting from today, let's do it EVEN MORE seriously. - Of course we have to.
- We only have 2 weeks left. - Ah... don't say that.
- Ah, a manual again? - Ah?
Huh? Pamphlet?
Wow, it's wonderful~
- Rihito-kun, did you make this yourself? - The date.
It's November 24th.
We only have 2 weeks left.
But...
Somehow... well, you know, right?
- I guess it's a bit plain. - What?
- Ah, you're right. - Huh?!
No, I mean, this is very good. Yeah, it's very very good. But...
- It's kinda too elegant. - Because it's us who will play at the concert, right?
I will fix it later but for now, LET'S PRACTICE!
1 week before the concert
What should we do? With our performance now, will it be okay!?
- Let's stop saying negative things, okay? - I'm not being negative. I'm just asking.
- It's purely a question! - Rather than doubt, let's have hope instead!
- Okay? Okay? - Yukie-san, you said such a good thing.
- Wisdom really does come with age! - Yaeko-san, you say too much.
- I'm sorry. - Well, well, to find that hope...
...where should we look at, huh? Huh? Kitagawa-san, in 1 week time...
...can you finish 'When You Wish Upon A Star' without being exhausted?
Yaeko-san, can you not rush when you hit the wrong note?
Rihito-kun, as you try to be cool and close your eyes while playing...
- ...can you make sure you don't bow the wrong string? - I'm NOT closing my eyes while playing.
It's you who gets sleepy in the middle of the song, right?
- I'm just immersing myself in the song. - Because you do that, you are rushing, right?
Stop, stop, stop. Let's stop this fruitless quarrel.
We are comrades, right?
For now, let's practice.
I know each of us is busy...
...but let's do this as much as we can.
You're right.
As much as we can.
Then, let's grasp the meaning of this song, "Largo", properly.
Relax.
Widely.
Extremely slow.
But majestic.
It's just like us...
Slowly...
...moving on.
One, two...
Mom, I'm sorry. I'm too noisy, right?
It's okay.
It's on this weekend, right? You have to practice properly.
So you won't embarrass yourself.
Okay!
Yamato Lighting's...
...Inoue-san.
Okay, I understand. Thank you.
Ah, geez... I can't play at all.
Oh my, where are you going at such hour?
Ah, I'm practicing. I don't want to wake Hiroto up.
Ah, Rihito, it's on this Sunday, right? That...
Can we come to watch?
Ah... ah, no...
We... well...
- It's okay. - Huh?
- Really? - I see.
Well... oh my... I'm looking forward to it~
Ah, this is bad. I ate too much.
I guess I'll go for a run too~
Why?
Well, let's just go.
It's cold, dark, no one's around... It's scary!
I've told you, just go home.
But...
...I want to listen to it a bit.
You...
...have become cool now.
Huh?
- Oh, what a young nobleman under the wintry sky! - Shut up.
November 24th, 2019 (Sunday)
The Three's Concert Kase Rihito - Kitagawa Yukie - Kogure Yaeko Piano Accompaniment: Kitagawa Tami
Hopefully my bow won't tremble.
Hopefully I can keep playing even if I make mistake.
- Enjoy this as much as we can... - Hopefully we can enjoy this.
Let's do our best! Yeah!
Ah, your voice is too soft...
Our guests are coming.
- Oh, it's unexpectedly spacious inside. - Ah, you're right.
Yaeko.
- Welcome. - Hello~
- We are here. - Oh dear~ The twins!
They're so cute~
- Um... - Ah...
My parents.
And she's my cousin Haruka-chan and her husband Ryosuke-san.
- Then, the twins are... - Shuu, and...
- ...Ren. - Yae-chan, long time no see.
- Look at you. You seem to be doing well. - Well, I've been through a lot...
...to arrive at this point, though.
- Thank you for taking care of our daughter... - No, likewise.
- I'm Kitagawa. - I'm Kase.
- Please feel free to use everything here. - Thank you very much.
If there's something else you need, just tell us, okay?
The next guests are coming!
Wait... I... Is it okay? Is it okay for me to come?
Thank you.
- It's hard for me to come alone. - I see.
Ah, hello.
Hello.
- Ah, long time no see. - Shimizu-san, you're coming too.
Sit down, sit down.
- Good luck with the piano. - Thanks.
Excuse me, um...
Ah, Brother.
- Is everyone here? - Yeah, but...
- Hiroto is crying so much there... - Ah, it's okay, it's okay.
Please just come in. It's cold out there, right?
Yeah, she's right. This is not very formal anyway.
Sorry for the disturbance.
Hey.
I'm sorry. He's usually a cheerful and good boy.
- Yu-chan, I guess I better stay outside. - I'll take him outside then.
He'll get used of it soon.
You're just surprised because there are so many people right? The twins are here too.
- Really? The twins? - Here. Come in, come in.
Ah... I'm Rihito's father.
- She's my wife. - Hello.
Then, they are my sons.
- My daughter and grandson. - I'm Kitagawa.
- She's my daughter. - Hello, I'm Kogure.
- Ah, I'm her father... - Yeah, nice to meet you all.
- Nice to meet you too. - Nice to meet you.
Then, please have a seat inside. Come in.
Come in, come in.
- Our family is late. - Yeah.
- Let's phone them, shall we? - Ouch, ouch, ouch...
- It hurts if you drag me like that. - Grandma?!
- Grandma. - Ah.
Ah, everyone is already here...
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm Kitagawa. Nice to meet you all.
- Let me take your coat. - Ah, thanks.
- Let me take it. - Ah... thank you.
- Starting from your left arm, okay? - Okay.
Excuse me. Okay.
- Please sit down here. - Ah, this is perfect.
- Please use this cushion too. - Thank you very much.
Was it okay?
Geez, she took forever to dress up...
And she put on makeup endlessly.
Today she looks even more beautiful.
I'm sure it must be tough for you.
Huh?
Ah...
Yukie-san... your husband?
Ah... this is the first time you see him?
Well... my husband.
- Hello, I'm Kitagawa. Nice to meet you. - Likewise.
- Hmm? - Hmm?
Ah, nothing, sorry. You can sit down.
Well then... let's begin the concert now.
- You're right. - Yeah! We've been waiting!
Um... well...
Ah... for the opening...
- Please say something. - Huh?
Me? But why...
- The elder should do it. - Oh, geez.
Um...
Well, on May last year...
...we met by chance at the violin class near the station.
We've been through a lot and got along well until now...
Are we getting along well?
After practicing for about one year and a half...
...we are now presenting our concert.
Well then... let's begin.
Ah, I'm tired.
Ah... I'm sorry.
Um... next song...
...is the last song.
Well...
To begin with, this concert was held...
...because I couldn't perform in the autumn recital last year.
And I couldn't play the song which I really wanted to play...
...together with the two of them.
Then, these two young people...
...were so kind to create a chance for me to play it.
And today, finally...
...it comes true.
Mom.
Huh? Yes?
Even though you complain a lot, you told me...
...to continue playing violin and keep supporting me.
- Thank you. - No, no.
It's not like that.
Tami-chan, thank you for always watching over me...
...and be with me through many things.
Well...
We are three people with different ages and circumstances.
We are three people who wouldn't have met if it wasn't for the violin class.
We laughed, we cried.
Sometimes, we quarreled.
And now we've become adults who love violin...
...who can play violin even just slightly better than those who don't play it.
I'm already in such age, so surely...
...I never imagined...
...that I would made friends...
...and have fun together...
...with young people like them.
Thank you, Yaeko-chan.
Rihito-kun.
Well...
Kitagawa-san, it's time...
Ah... I'm sorry.
Somehow when you get older, you'll cry easily.
I'm sorry that my forewords are too long.
Well then.
You both, please say something too.
- Here. - No, no, thank you.
- No, me too. Thank you. - Huh?
Say something, Yae-chan.
Open up your heart as someone who's nearly 30.
- Yae-chan! - Say something, say something.
Well then, let me say something too.
In the midst of this peaceful atmosphere...
...and in front of our families too...
...I think it's not a good thing to talk about this.
I'm sorry.
But...
Today...
...I want to talk about someone...
...who couldn't be here.
It's about our violin teacher.
Few days later
Ah, here... I give your resume back.
Together with the copy of your license which we held when you signed the contract.
Okay, sorry for the trouble. Thank you very much.
I wished you could continue...
...even just once a week.
Ah... thank you for saying such things.
But now, I'm...
- I see. - Yeah.
Ah... and also...
...two days ago, Kase-san came here.
- Kase-san? - He told me to give you this...
...when you came here.
- This is... not mine. - Yes.
Seems like he wanted you to listen to the recording here.
- Huh? - Well then, excuse me.
Um... Just like what Yukie-san said before...
...violin class for adults...
- Kogure-san? - ...is a place where various people...
...come and go...
...and are connected only by the violin.
It's not a place where we polish our skills to be professionals or something.
It's also not something that we must continue...
...no matter what.
When we are busy with works or studies...
...or when something happens to our family...
...it's the very first thing...
...which will be eliminated from our life.
It's something like that.
In reality...
...that's how our violin like after we spent one year and a half...
...practicing on it.
But...
...that time...
...for us who were abandoned...
...in the middle of the dark sea...
...this is the one and only...
...life buoy which was thrown toward us.
This violin...
...saved us...
...while we were on the brink of drowning.
'In such time...'
'...you encountered music.'
That's what Mao-sensei said to me.
Now, Mao-sensei herself...
...is perhaps having a hard time...
...and lots of frustration...
...against violin...
...and also music.
For me...
...it's a world I can't imagine.
And I don't understand...
...how Mao-sensei's feeling is.
But...
...at least...
...I love Mao-sensei's violin.
Thanks to her...
...I can arrive at this point.
I'm sure that after this...
...even though...
...I couldn't continue playing violin anymore...
...for many times over...
...the music she made me encounter...
...will save me.
Mao-sensei...
...has given...
...such thing to me.
Ah...
I'm sorry.
D-did I...
- ...talk too much? - No.
- Please say something for the closing too. - Huh?
Well then, now it's time for the last song.
It's a song...
...which brought us together.
Today, everyone...
...thank you very much.
- Are you here for the free-trial class? - Yes, the violin one.
- Ah, me too. - There's one more person.
He wants to join your class too.
I beg you.
Please...
...perform together with me at the recital.
How frustrating...
I was really looking forward to today.
As long as we can enjoy it... it's our victory, right?
Kogure-san. No.
- Yaeko-chan. - Ah, yes?
Thank you for getting along well with me.
"Air on the G string" is divided into 2 blocks, A and B.
- It's science. - Definitely.
Does it have anything to do with this?
I like you.
You are wasting your time.
I'm really glad I came here.
I was saved by this place.
Let's do a concert, shall we? The three of us.
Today, I actually wanted to spend my time...
...together with...
...Yukie-san and Rihito-kun.
Ah! Finally the three of us can be together!
Let's do the three-con.
Three of us doing the three-con together.
- Today your violin's sound was rough. - You too, Kase-san.
Your violin sounds like fart.
- Ah, are you going home now? - Yes.
Thank you for everything.
It's okay...
Are you okay?
Huh?
I never imagined it would turn out this way.
I...
...was saved by those three's violin.
Ah...
Please return this to Kase-san.
Ah... okay.
And please tell him that...
...their "Air on the G string" was superb.
Ah, it was so good.
I cried~
On your very last word, Yaeko-chan...
...I couldn't help but crying.
You've said that so many times. Stop it, okay?
Yukie-san was wonderful too, right?
Ah, I wish Mao-sensei could listen to it.
- Right? - Ah, yeah...
Hmm? Why don't you get into the mood today?
Ah! Is it because you don't drink much?
No, no, no, I'm drinking just like usual.
What? What's wrong?
You are saving it, right?
For later~
Oh my, oh my~
I can't stop smiling.
My face's muscle...
I can't control my face's muscles~
- I... will go home. - Wait, wait, wait.
Huh?
- Are you okay, Yukie-san? - Seems like you're quite drunk.
Geez, I'm so happy.
Being able to play "Air"...
The three-con was successful...
Getting drunk in such wonderful restaurant like this...
Ah, I have nothing to regret.
But...
Yukie-san, on your speech, why...
Hmm?
Why didn't you say 'thank you' only to your husband?
Ah, I was a bit curious about that too.
- Ah... Hmm... - It's pitiful for him, right?
Yeah... you're right.
Somehow...
...I was embarrassed.
You still can't forgive him, right?
Hmm? Can't forgive him?
- So you don't know about that. - Huh?
Well, you...
- Forget it. - Hey, why?
- AH! - What?
I mean... Rihito-kun, you just had your birthday, right?
Yeah... as usual, you suddenly remember random things.
Is it so? Ah...
So it was on November. I see.
Huh? What? 21?
- Huh? - Yeah.
Oh my, happy birthday!
Wow... 21...
You were still 19 when we first met. I see. 21...
- I can't believe it~ - Why are you so surprised?
You're getting older too, right?
- Stop it. - Huh?
It hurts me badly, you know.
Ah...
Ah~ It will always be double score.
No... no, no, no, I mean, if it remains like this...
...it will always be double score. Because...
21 and 42.
22 and 44, so...
Huh? Yukie-san, how old are you now?
- You're too scientific! - Huh?
Have a little delicacy! Delicacy!
Huh? What? No way. You called me 'Yukie-san' just now.
Ah... I was always wondering about that.
You call her 'Yaeko-san' but you call me 'Kitagawa-san'.
- There's a difference. - Sorry?
What? You were worried about such thing?
- You're so cute~ - Ah, but it feels so good.
Because no one else calls me like that. Ah.
You do, Yaeko-chan. And also...
...your mother. She called me 'Yukie-san'.
- Hey, hey, call her again. - Okay then.
- Yukie-san. - Again, again!
Well, Yukie-san.
Again, again, again!
Yukie-san... Yukie-san.
- Yukie-san! - Ah, stop it, stop it~
It sounds like some kind of harassment.
Somehow I become sober now. I'll go to the toilet.
Take care~
- Do you want to order something? - Ah, no.
- It's enough... - Ah, is it?
- I guess I'll order something. - Oh, okay.
- What do you want to drink? - Ah...
Excuse me.
Ah, um...
- I want one more glass of this. - Si Señor.
Will you be okay?
- Violin... - Huh?
What are you going to do about that? Will you continue it?
Ah... well...
- On my own. - I see.
Then... will you occasionally come...
...to our practice together with Yukie-san? Like once a month.
Well... If so...
...you'll tell me to attend the lesson again, right?
Ah...
So...
...you won't come? You won't...
...attend the lesson again together with me and Yukie-san.
Well... the job hunting will begin shortly.
I see... So it's already...
...the winter of your 3rd year.
Yes.
By the way.
Hmm?
Now, we shouldn't...
...connect with each other using the violin anymore now, right?
- Um... - Tequila!
Ah... thank you.
No, no, no, don't do that, Rihito-kun! Ah...
- Yaeko-san! - Huh? Ah...
Yes...?
No, it would be bad. I'll get rejected.
Sorry?
- Huh? - If I say it after I drank alcohol...
...you'll think I don't remember anything and it would be bad.
Please don't...
...talk to yourself like that.
I'm... sorry.
It's okay.
- Um... - Yes?
Tomorrow... Sunday.
Do you... have... time?
- Huh? - I want to meet you and talk about something.
I under... stand.
Right when I finally arrive at a peaceful place...
...I'm tossed again into the dark sea.
This time, if I continue to swim, perhaps I can reach heaven.
Or...
...hell, instead.
In the end...
God...
...is very sadistic.
