[Yokosuka Mutual Aid Hospital]
We don't accept this.
A member was smoking at the training camp.
This is the proof!
I will need to report this to your school.
To withdraw from the competition is the natural response as a school.
I didn't smoke.
Why don't you believe what a student is saying?
You haven't done a single thing to let me believe you, have you?
That's Koike from Meihou's lie.
Anyway, you must have been influenced badly by Aoshima's group.
- You're wrong. - What do you mean by that?
What did we do?
We even quit smoking.
Wait, everyone.
Vice principal.
Can't you listen to what the students are saying?
Blowing a trumpet, hitting a drum...
People can't change that easily, can they?
Right, Aoshima?
Hey!
Don't look down on brass band!
Stop that, Hiroto.
You're the club president, right?
Is this okay like this?
You guys too.
Don't keep quiet, say something!
Igawa.
Hey, wait!
Where are you going?
I'm going to Meihou High School to clear my name.
- Hey! - The guy who screwed you over...
Do you think he'd cooperate honestly?
But there's no other way, is there?
Because of me...
We can't enter the competition...
And we only have one shot at Koshien.
Then...
Shall we go?
Hey, where were you?
And you, what are you doing? It's class time.
Now's not the time for that.
The vice principal just withdrew us from the competition.
Withdrew us?
Aoshima... what happened?
Huh? What's this about?
Ah...
I also saw this photo.
After that, I had a proper talk with Igawa,
and agreed he was innocent.
You agreed?
And you think you're fit to be a teacher?
Isn't it also a teacher's responsibility to believe in their students?
You're too naive about them, sensei.
If Igawa really did smoke,
would he involve Meihou High School?
Well, Hikuma-sensei has a point too.
Then why did Aoshima's group butt in?
They must be feeling guilty about something, right?
Of course they would, since you withdrew them without listening to their story!
Don't interrupt.
Vice principal.
No matter how much you apologise,
this time, I can not concede.
No.
This time, I will not apologise.
Until you cancel the withdrawal,
I won't move from here!
Hikuma-sensei.
In that case...
I won't move either!
What's wrong with you?
Guys, they haven't moved at all.
I wonder if sensei's explaining it properly.
Sensei...
The withdrawal was cancelled.
Yeah!
But, there's one problem...
[The brass band has a 10 day club activity ban.]
Club activities are banned?
By that you mean...?
It's the penalty for causing trouble with Meihou High School at the training camp.
So we can't use the music room?
Let's all bear with it for a little while.
A little while? There's only a month left until the regional competition.
Ah, we're finished!
It's okay.
It's not okay!
Weren't you the one who said that when you don't play your instrument, it gets angry?
Who said you couldn't play your instruments?
Huh?
Can't we just take them home and practise?
You can't play clarinet at home, can you?
And we can't practise as an ensemble if not in the music room.
We can.
If you don't have a place, you can just make a new one.
You're right!
Huh? We're making a music room?
How?
So, shall we go?
Okay.
It's this way.
Yes.
Are you okay, dad?
The students only have now.
I can't stop their progress now, can I?
That's not it, I meant your health.
The re-examination...
It was nothing.
But you said your stomach hurt during the training camp.
Right. It's nothing.
Sensei...
You said so, didn't you?
God only gives trials to those who can overcome them.
Thank you very much.
So we'll do it here.
Start preparations!
Yeah!
Alright!
- Can you even do this? - Of course I can!
Accepting the fate dealt to us...
Sensei.
We're ready.
Okay.
We went on living in the present...
With that...
Let's start the open-air class.
Please look after us.
It's the last spurt towards the competition.
Yes.
Everyone, match your sounds!
Abo-kun, more strongly.
Ah wait, time out! Time out!
I think we should borrow a place somewhere!
Furushou, this is also a trial.
Furushou-kun, hang in there.
You say that, but if Igawa hadn't done that in the first place...
That's right!
There's sand in my flute!
Hey guys, let's bear with it!
It's not only Igawa's fault.
Don't let it bother you.
- You're an adult today, Kuwata! - I have a high tolerance.
What are you saying?
The original reason I was suspected is because you senpai are delinquents, isn't it?
What?
We aren't delinquents anymore!
- Quit acting so stuck-up! - Stop that.
You guys have low tolerance.
Can we enter the competition like this?
He's right.
You're all always blaming someone else.
Let's become one.
Alright!
Everyone, come for dinner at my place tonight!
- Seriously? - I want to go!
Right, Aoshima?
What a pain.
It's fine, just come.
You too, Kitora.
Wait!
Don't decide something like that on your own!
Misaki High School Brass Band...
... needs to become a family.
Family...
If we're a family, let's eat from the same pot.
So we're having kamameshi?
Who do you think has to prepare for this?
Okay, come in.
Thanks for having us.
Instruments over there.
Ah.
Hey, wait!
Hey!
Come here.
Come back.
What is this?
If you think you can align your sound without even aligning your shoes,
you're hugely mistaken.
Don't be so fussy.
Do you think you can win the national competition if it's so sloppy?
First, you have to grow as a person,
or you can't have a good performance.
Come on, line them up.
Yes...
- Ah! - Ow!
That's right!
Let's start picking up rubbish at school tomorrow.
What?
Pick up rubbish?
- No, no, no... - Wait, wait, wait...
Because we caused trouble at the training camp,
we have to show them our sincerity.
Sincerity, humility and gratitude.
- So annoying! - This sounds like a lecture.
I think so too, but...
If we demonstrate our feelings in our behaviour,
they might let us use the music room earlier, right?
I see...
Hey.
Show me some sincerity too.
Yes, I'll carry it.
To the kitchen.
- That is also sincerity. - No, it's an ulterior motive!
Instruments over there, okay?
Okay!
Hey, apparently Arima-san went home.
Huh? Why?
It's really delicious.
Really?
Ryo-kun. Mama's cooking is good, isn't it?
Yeah. But I like ice cream better.
Really?
You prefer ice cream, Ryo-kun?
Here you are, Abo-senpai.
Oh, thank you.
Here you are.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Hey Ryoko, where's mine?
Shut up. Do it yourself, you ass!
Bitch, don't discriminate! Did you hear that?
Are you all ready?
Yes!
Are you hungry?
Yes!
Then, let's eat!
Thank you for the food!
Yum!
It's good.
Mmm!
When I was active, I tried to eat with my orchestra friends like this,
and deepen our bonds.
But you quit, right?
Kitora!
Listen, everyone.
Treasure your families.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up?
In the future, you'll all go out into society,
and I'm sure you'll encounter a lot of things.
But at that time...
The things you can rely on in the end,
are your family,
and the friends you can trust like family.
I want you to remember that.
The karaage's done.
Looks good!
Now that I think about it, do you have a boyfriend?
Huh?
Natsuki, you have to get married quickly and make a family.
What are you saying?
Stop that in front of the students.
Eh?
Could it be you don't?
Can you leave it alone?
- Then, please go out-- - Sorry~
Dumped in an instant!
Hey, where's the bathroom?
The left of the hallway.
Don't get mad at me.
Oh, excuse me.
Ah, that bath felt great!
Hey, hey!
Wait, you took a bath?!
I thought you left for a reason.
Hey...
Can I stay over tonight?
Yeah, sure.
No no, he definitely can't!
I'll lend you a change of clothes.
Thank you.
Wait!
What are you trying to do?
Huh? Isn't it fine?
Suddenly inviting the students over and letting them stay the night?
What happened?
You're the one who said we become one, right?
Even if I did, it's a lot of food expenses, we can't do this all the time, can we?
Now, now...
They're all like family to you too.
Those kids aren't family, they're students, you know!
What's up?
It looks like they're having a fight.
Draw the line between work and private properly!
I can't draw a line on people's bonds.
That's not the kind of world we live in, is it?
The world's gotten tough, right mum?
Takamoku.
Everyone left out of consideration.
Want some karaage?
I'm fine.
Hiroto...
There.
Nagisa!
What are you doing?
Soda.
Da souda.
Want one?
Nah.
Thank you.
How was sensei's house?
I don't know how, but I think Hikuma suddenly woke up to his morals.
Telling us to pick up rubbish or something.
What's that about?
To show the school our sincerity.
Sincerity, humility and gratitude, he says.
That's nice, let's do it!
Hey, is your mum well?
Huh?
She used to always bring us snacks like this.
At that time, I had only just moved to Japan...
Thank you very much.
You three, don't fight.
Get along, and eat.
Okay? You too, Ren-kun.
Yes.
Your mum treated me well.
She was really nice.
Huh?
My parents got divorced.
I live separately from my mum,
I haven't seen her.
Oh.
And these are what my new mum's kid really likes.
Are you alright?
About what?
I've only got my mum.
Don't force yourself so much.
I'm not forcing myself.
So you are forcing yourself.
I told you, I wasn't.
You are.
Am not.
You are.
Am not!
- She is, huh? - She is.
I'm not!
Wah!
- You... - Stop it, don't come here.
- Hey. - It's dangerous.
You're forcing yourself with this too, right?
I told you I wasn't!
I'm walking a tightrope!
You shouldn't force yourself either, sensei.
I'm not doing such a thing.
Good morning!
You guys...
Good morning, sensei!
Aren't you banned from club activities?
Are we banned from physical training too?
We thought we'd do what we can.
I see.
Arapyon, hurry up and unlock it.
Okay, okay.
Also, I heard about the rubbish clean-up from everyone.
As our sincerity for the school, let's do it!
Rubbish clean-up?
Oh, Arima.
For the competition, I'd like as many family members to come as possible.
How should I go about it?
Right... Well...
How about a letter?
That should be fine.
Good morning.
Morning.
Hey, hey, hey!
Why are you pretending to be a good kid?
Shut up, you idiot.
We're not doing it cause we want to.
You should do it too!
Kuwata, look.
A bread bag fell.
You can do it, goody goody.
Good morning.
It seems this is the sincerity of the brass band.
It's too late for that...
Good morning.
Morning.
- Good morning. - Morning.
- Come on, don't run in the corridor! - Yes, sir.
Hey, don't run away! Don't you have any sincerity?
You're lacking modesty.
Sincerity, modesty, gratitude. Okay, go.
Here.
What are you doing?
It's a notice. A notice.
Gently, gently.
That's it! Yes.
Okay.
Let's end it there for today.
Thank you very much.
Good work.
Everyone, do you have a minute?
Can you hand these out to everyone?
Yes.
Ah.
- And these, please. - Okay.
Everyone...
Please invite your families to the competition.
Huh, why?
Hm?
The people who support you, like it's only natural,
I'd like them to hear your performance.
It's gratitude for your families.
Here.
Don't do such embarrassing things! Right?
It's a given that mine is coming.
They are?!
You two should invite your families too.
Don't need it.
It's not exactly compulsory, is it?
Hey, wait!
You're still going?
Here, snacks.
If you use your money like that, you'll be scolded by Natsuki-san.
I know you're working hard, but it's already late...
It's time to go home.
And take this.
You really don't give up.
Don't come into our private lives so much.
Don't say that. We're like family, aren't we?
Everyone has their own things going on.
Things sound tough at Nagisa's house too, right?
Huh?
What's this about?
Nagisa-chan?
Dinner's ready!
Okay! I'm coming now.
In the first place, the one who recommended music to her...
Was the mother she's separated from.
Really?
Your mum told you to do it?
Yeah.
My mum used to play clarinet too, you see.
She said she wants to see me play on a big stage.
So you'll become a pro in the future, Nagisa?
I think the one she really wants to come...
... is her mother.
A lottery?
Next week.
There's a lottery to decide the performance order for the regional competition.
Sensei!
You can't draw first, okay? First.
Huh? Why?
It's hard to play first thing in the morning.
- We're all bad at waking up early. - Oh...
Shall I draw in your stead?
Arima, Igawa and I will go for the lottery.
You guys will pick up rubbish.
- What? - What's with that?!
Seriously...
Oh, that reminds me... where's Arima?
Arima?
My mum got so excited too...
My mum said she'd take the day off work to come.
My mum and dad too...
They're so excited, it's awful.
Hey, don't just chat, help out.
Yes~
Arima...
Do you have a moment?
Oh... yes.
Next week, right?
Okay.
Also...
Do you think your mum will come to the competition?
Well...
If...
If there's something you're worried about at home, you can talk to me anytime...
I'm not worried about anything.
Even if I did,
that's my own problem.
- Arima... - It's really okay.
It's not your business.
Oh...
I'm sorry.
Arima!
Don't put out the light in your heart.
Light in my heart?
Yeah...
The light in your heart.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hey, where's Arima-san? - Oh.
She went home today.
It's rare for Nagisa to go home.
Yeah.
Which colour do you like?
This one?
This is pretty too.
What kind of flower do you think it is?
Your mother wants to have her own shop no matter what.
No way...
Nagisa.
I'm sorry for being so selfish.
But that doesn't mean you have to divorce, does it?
I'm sorry.
Shall we go?
Okay.
It's gratitude for your families.
I'd like them to hear your performance.
Don't put out the light in your heart.
Thank you very much.
- Boss? - Yes?
I'm going to ask Uchikawa-san for dinner, what would you like?
- The usual's fine. - Okay.
Hey.
Aren't you getting too involved in a student's private life?
Huh?
About Arima-san.
You did something you shouldn't have again, right?
Yeah.
I thought I shouldn't avoid it.
To live is to get involved with other people.
Dad.
... that's what I think mum is saying.
What do you mean?
A long time ago...
The reason we started a music school here too...
... is because I was told to by mum.
Dad.
Yeah?
Since you retired, you're not doing anything, are you?
Why not teach the neighbourhood kids music?
I'm done with music...
If we take music from you, what's left?
Don't put out the light in your heart.
Heart's light?
Yeah.
At first, I didn't really get what she was saying.
But...
As expected, I love music.
She noticed that.
That's why now...
To me,
the 'Misaki sound' I make with the students in the brass band...
That's the light in my heart.
You see, I...
I want to interact with the students as much as possible...
And do everything I have left to do.
Left to do?
Oh, the phone.
Who could it be at this late hour?
Yes, this is Hikuma.
Yes, club activities are already over for today.
She hasn't come back?
Huh?
Thanks for waiting!
It's a seafood oyakodon filled with love.
That looks good!
It's from my mum.
- Must be nice to be a fisherman's son. - Thanks for the food all the time.
Huh? Where's Kitora?
He just went home.
He said his dad came back to Japan for the first time in a while.
Oh yeah, he said his dad was global.
What does global mean?
How should I know?
Hey, Aoshima!
Huh?
Do you know anywhere Arima is likely to go?
- Huh? - She hasn't gone home yet.
Brass band competition?
If you want to come, then come.
More importantly...
What about studying abroad?
I even persuaded your dad,
because you said you wanted to keep doing music seriously.
The deadline for applications is soon, isn't it?
Hello?
Nagisa disappeared.
Eh?
Not here.
How about Kuwata and Takamoku?
What happened?
I don't know.
She wasn't this way either.
Not at the station either.
She's not a kid, won't she just go home soon?
Do you have any ideas?
It's cause she was forcing it with her family.
Guess so.
Was it sensei's letter?
Maybe...
Buchou is diligent, so no one knows what she might do if she thinks about it too much.
Don't say that, it's bad luck!
Hiroto... have you searched there?
Huh?
Where's 'there'?
Where?
You know, the place we practised at all the time.
Ah.
That's it!
Where is it?
Nagisa...
B-buchou!
Kin-chan!
Buchou!
Huh?
Buchou, don't be so hasty...
Don't throw your life a--
Kin-chan, are you okay?
He fell.
He fell!
Nagisa
What are you doing?
Well, the sea...
What happened to you guys?
You disappeared,
so we were worried.
Ah...
And, the biggest worry is...
Hey, are you alright Kin-chan?
Hurry, hurry.
- Save me! - You're the son of a fisherman, right?
Hurry up get up here.
Quickly!
Save me!
He's going to save you now.
- Hurry up and swim. - What kind of swimming is that?
- This way is more efficient. - You'll dry right away.
Okay, here we go!
I'm sorry for worrying you.
No...
I'm the one who needs to apologise.
I said something I shouldn't have,
and made you worry.
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Alright.
It isn't something that'll just work out as long as you try hard.
Don't try to be a good kid.
Hiroto...
Well at Misaki High School, you're not a good kid or anything.
Rather, we're hated by society?
That's our only merit!
It's hot! It's hot!
Don't call that a merit!
I don't think you really have to force yourself to act like a family.
Because family is family.
And friends are friends, right?
How come you're saying something decent?
We're friends.
Right?
Okay, here we go!
Come on, Kitora!
Arima.
If you have a heart that thinks about other people like this,
won't your friends come help you in the end?
Just be honest to yourself.
We're all together!
Nagisa!
You come here too!
Buchou!
Sensei.
I have a favour to ask of you, sensei.
Hm?
I want to be honest too.
Is that so?
Nagisa's here!
Good morning.
Nagisa!
Good morning.
I teach music at Misaki High School,
my name is Hikuma.
Sensei...
Right now...
I'm aiming for the national competition with sensei,
I'm playing clarinet.
National competition?
So... come to see the competition.
I'll be performing on a big stage,
so I want you to come watch, mum.
Does your dad know you came here?
I haven't told him yet.
But I want to when I get home.
By all means, please come watch ma'am.
Also...
I...
I'm thinking of going to a music college.
Eh?
Since it's the dream I got from my mum,
I'll try and do as much as I can.
Nagisa...
Do your best.
Yeah.
Hurry, sensei.
- We'll be late. - Meihou Private High School, go ahead.
- You're 8th. - Yes.
Sensei, we're next.
Oh, Igawa.
Sorry we're late.
Misaki Public School, go ahead.
Sensei...
Hello, Taruya-sensei.
So Misaki High School will enter the competition,
even with a member who caused a smoking incident?
Pardon my saying so, but our Igawa...
It's okay, sensei.
Because my friends believe me.
I can't come to like their boorish sides...
But I have friends who will believe me.
Excuse me.
Is Misaki Public High School here?
Yes! Here, here.
Come forward.
Ah, sensei.
Just don't draw first, okay?
Leave it to me!
What are you doing over there?
Your luck will leave.
Pull the weeds out properly.
Yes.
Hey.
How do you think Hikuma's lottery luck is?
I'm sure it's good.
We drew our lot.
What number?
We're the top batters.
First?!
I said first was no good...
Guys!
What are you saying?
Order has nothing to do with it.
If you give it all you've got, it'll be appreciated.
I feel like you're deceiving us somehow, though.
Huh?
It's fine. Look, the weeds.
There are still some left.
- Go on. - All we do is pull weeds!
Samejima-sensei.
The day for those kids to bear the name of Misaki,
and stand on stage has gotten closer, hasn't it?
Principal...
Look at them.
Don't you think they all look very dignified?
You mustn't know...
What they're doing after school.
Where do you think you're going, all together?
Did you think I don't know anything?
- About that, vice principal... - It's too late to apologise about that now!
Sensei!
We have finally started to become one.
Please... let us rehearse!
Please!
If you're going to rehearse outside and disturb the public...
It's better to rehearse in the music room.
Sincerity, humility, gratitude.
Don't forget that.
Thank you, vice principal!
Thank you!
Yeah!
We will now restart our rehearsals in the music room.
Go in, go in.
Hiroto.
I'm leaving, I have something to do.
Okay.
Sensei.
Yes? What's the matter?
The documents from the other day...
Do you still have them?
Studying abroad...
The national brass band competition.
I invited mum too...
But dad, Mihoko-san and Ryo-kun too...
I'd like you to come.
We'll definitely go, Nagisa-chan.
Sensei, you taught us that, right?
It's important to be grateful...
For the days we take for granted.
What did you want to talk about?
I've already told your father, but...
When the days we take for granted aren't there anymore...
From the complete examination,
we found a malignant tumour in his pancreas.
Huh?
It's pancreatic cancer.
It's progressed quite far.
And all sound is stolen from us.
The students only have now.
I can't stop their progress now, can I?
Alright!
Everyone, come for dinner at my place tonight!
Natsuki, you have to get married quickly and make a family.
To me,
the 'Misaki sound' I make with the students in the brass band...
That's the light in my heart.
I want to interact with the students as much as possible,
and do everything I have left to do.
Dad?
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
