Nijika Ijichi : Well, not totally kidding, but... Ah, I'm sorry! |
(0:14:31.79) |
Hitori Gotoh : I've got 30,000 subscribers! |
(0:14:32.73) |
EXTRA : Allow me to explain! |
(0:14:34.89) |
EXTRA : Guitar Man's Easy-to-Learn Hitori Classes |
(0:14:36.52) |
EXTRA : In a band, it's super important to be in sync with your fellow live performers! |
(0:14:36.96) |
EXTRA : But Hitori has social anxiety and can't make eye contact, |
(0:14:41.13) |
EXTRA : and she'll be inclined to rush ahead of the others! |
(0:14:43.94) |
EXTRA : She might be an awesome solo player, |
(0:14:46.32) |
EXTRA : but when in a band, she's sub-water-flea level, the worst there is! |
(0:14:48.03) |
Nijika Ijichi : She sounds like an unfunny comedian! |
(0:14:54.28) |
Hitori Gotoh : And thus, Hitori Goto turned to dust, |
(0:14:57.32) |
Hitori Gotoh : and never picked up a guitar again. |
(0:14:59.71) |
Nijika Ijichi : Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! |
(0:15:09.41) |
Nijika Ijichi : Come out, please! |
(0:15:11.45) |
Nijika Ijichi : The show's about to start! |
(0:15:13.00) |
Hitori Gotoh : I c-c-can't do it! |
(0:15:14.60) |
Nijika Ijichi : It's not your fault! We just came together today! |
(0:15:16.52) |
Nijika Ijichi : It's not like I'm very good either. |
(0:15:19.18) |
Ryo Yamada : I'm very
good. |
(0:15:21.44) |
Nijika Ijichi : Just look at me, okay! |
(0:15:24.23) |
Nijika Ijichi : Stay here in reality! |
(0:15:26.36) |
Hitori Gotoh : It isn't like I could do the intro or anything... |
(0:15:28.99) |
Hitori Gotoh : I-I could offer up my life to put on a harakiri show! |
(0:15:32.68) |
Hitori Gotoh : Th-They'll at least remember the name of the band, right? |
(0:15:36.57) |
Hitori Gotoh : Sorry I sucked! |
(0:15:39.49) |
Nijika Ijichi : That's a little too
rock! |
(0:15:40.88) |
Ryo Yamada : It's okay. |
(0:15:42.30) |
Ryo Yamada : If they boo you, I'll give them a bonk with my bass. |
(0:15:43.45) |
Hitori Gotoh : Does a bass make such a fancy noise? |
(0:15:47.13) |
Nijika Ijichi : I mean, bloodshed is pretty rock. |
(0:15:50.68) |
Ryo Yamada : It's rock. |
(0:15:52.72) |
Hitori Gotoh : You can't justify everything with "rock"! |
(0:15:53.63) |
Nijika Ijichi : Besides, it'll probably just be my friends who come to watch us play! |
(0:15:55.73) |
Ryo Yamada : And Nijika is my only friend, so... |
(0:16:00.99) |
Nijika Ijichi : Normal high school girls don't know good music from bad. |
(0:16:03.63) |
Hitori Gotoh : That kind of take could get you in trouble on the internet. |
(0:16:07.72) |
Nijika Ijichi : Okay? So just chill! |
(0:16:10.60) |
Hitori Gotoh : I d-dunno... |
(0:16:13.15) |
Ryo Yamada : I
know good music from bad. |
(0:16:14.76) |
Nijika Ijichi : Well, you're not normal. |
(0:16:16.55) |
Nijika Ijichi : Hey, that wasn't a compliment. |
(0:16:19.61) |
Hitori Gotoh : Sorry. |
(0:16:21.76) |
Nijika Ijichi : But... |
(0:16:23.59) |
Ryo Yamada : We can't force her. |
(0:16:24.72) |
Nijika Ijichi : You're right. |
(0:16:27.76) |
Nijika Ijichi : Sorry to push you so hard. |
(0:16:29.06) |
Hitori Gotoh : No, actually... |
(0:16:30.70) |
Hitori Gotoh : I r-really was happy you reached out to me. |
(0:16:32.97) |
Hitori Gotoh : I've wanted to be in a band for so long... |
(0:16:37.70) |
Hitori Gotoh : B-But I couldn't get the people together... |
(0:16:40.60) |
Hitori Gotoh : So I just upload covers to the internet instead. |
(0:16:43.47) |
Ryo Yamada : What do you usually play? |
(0:16:46.52) |
Hitori Gotoh : M-Mostly songs by popular bands from the last few years, |
(0:16:48.19) |
Hitori Gotoh : so I could play them right away once the band got together... |
(0:16:51.23) |
Nijika Ijichi : That's awesome! |
(0:16:54.26) |
Hitori Gotoh : It's not. |
(0:16:55.28) |
Hitori Gotoh : It's the reason I'm the way I am now. |
(0:16:56.80) |
Hitori Gotoh : Being in a band with other people was a pipe dream after all. |
(0:16:59.38) |
Nijika Ijichi : Covering all popular songs? |
(0:17:03.13) |
Nijika Ijichi : She sounds like guitarhero-san! |
(0:17:05.36) |
Nijika Ijichi : Have you heard of her? |
(0:17:07.73) |
Nijika Ijichi : She's probably about our age, I think... |
(0:17:08.92) |
Hitori Gotoh : guitarhero... |
(0:17:09.21) |
Hitori Gotoh : M-Me?! |
(0:17:11.63) |
Nijika Ijichi : I'll send you a link if you haven't! |
(0:17:12.99) |
Nijika Ijichi : She's super awesome! You should hear her! |
(0:17:15.56) |
Hitori Gotoh : Awe... some? |
(0:17:18.16) |
Ryo Yamada : She comes up in my recommendations a lot, so I've seen her too. |
(0:17:20.08) |
Ryo Yamada : She really is excellent. |
(0:17:23.75) |
Nijika Ijichi : Right?! |
(0:17:25.14) |
Nijika Ijichi : Though her naming sense is a bit cringy... |
(0:17:26.04) |
Hitori Gotoh : It is?! |
(0:17:28.69) |
Nijika Ijichi : I follow her with notifications on! |
(0:17:29.65) |
Nijika Ijichi : I'd love to play with her some day! |
(0:17:33.52) |
Hitori Gotoh : You just did, actually... |
(0:17:35.78) |
Nijika Ijichi : Look, what I'm getting at here |
(0:17:38.08) |
Nijika Ijichi : is that even awesome, popular people are out there playing guitar, |
(0:17:41.28) |
Nijika Ijichi : lots and lots of them, in places we're not even watching. |
(0:17:44.77) |
Nijika Ijichi : You should watch her later! |
(0:17:49.40) |
Nijika Ijichi : I think you'll get what I mean if you watch the videos. |
(0:17:50.84) |
Hitori Gotoh : I always figured real-life people didn't care about me at all... |
(0:17:54.65) |
Nijika Ijichi : You can't give up on playing in a band just because it didn't work out today! |
(0:18:02.47) |
Nijika Ijichi : It's possible it's our problem, anyway... |
(0:18:05.94) |
Ryo Yamada : Our problem? |
(0:18:08.29) |
Nijika Ijichi : Hitori-chan? |
(0:18:09.94) |
Hitori Gotoh : But someone this nice has been watching me all this time, |
(0:18:11.09) |
Hitori Gotoh : and actually spoke to me... |
(0:18:14.78) |
Ryo Yamada : She stood up. |
(0:18:17.17) |
Hitori Gotoh : It's the kind of miracle most people never experience! |
(0:18:18.74) |
Hitori Gotoh : I can't let it go to waste! |
(0:18:22.87) |
Hitori Gotoh : I... I'm... |
(0:18:25.61) |
Nijika Ijichi : D-Do you want to perform after all? |
(0:18:27.96) |
Nijika Ijichi : Hitori-chan? |
(0:18:33.33) |
Hitori Gotoh : I know all that, rationally... |
(0:18:34.42) |
Hitori Gotoh : But I'm still too scared... |
(0:18:36.32) |
Hitori Gotoh : There's no way I can play in front of an audience... |
(0:18:37.82) |
Ryo Yamada : If you're scared, you could play from in here. |
(0:18:40.64) |
Hitori Gotoh : I-It's the same environment that I play in all the time! |
(0:18:44.31) |
Nijika Ijichi : Where exactly do you live? |
(0:18:49.20) |
Hitori Gotoh : How you feelin' tonight, Shimo-Kita?! |
(0:18:51.63) |
Ryo Yamada : She's suddenly more outgoing. |
(0:18:54.64) |
Nijika Ijichi : By the way, how do you want us to introduce you? |
(0:18:56.43) |
Nijika Ijichi : "Hitori-chan"? Should we use your real name? |
(0:18:59.48) |
Hitori Gotoh : I'd... I'd rather not... |
(0:19:02.17) |
Nijika Ijichi : Any nicknames, then? |
(0:19:03.90) |
Hitori Gotoh : In middle school, they called me "Hey" and "You there"... |
(0:19:05.77) |
Nijika Ijichi : I don't think those are nicknames! |
(0:19:09.02) |
Hitori Gotoh : I never knew anyone well enough to get nicknames from them! |
(0:19:10.84) |
Ryo Yamada : Hitori... |
(0:19:15.00) |
Ryo Yamada : Hitoribocchi (all alone)... |
(0:19:16.22) |
Ryo Yamada : How about Bocchi-chan? |
(0:19:17.94) |
Nijika Ijichi : Another tactless comment! |
(0:19:19.12) |
Hitori Gotoh : I'm B-B-Bocchi! |
(0:19:21.18) |
Nijika Ijichi : She likes it? |
(0:19:23.29) |
Hitori Gotoh : It's just my first ever nickname... |
(0:19:24.40) |
Nijika Ijichi : This is making me teary-eyed. |
(0:19:26.72) |
Hitori Gotoh : Oh, you haven't told me your band name yet. |
(0:19:28.36) |
Ryo Yamada : It's Kessoku Band. |
(0:19:33.11) |
Hitori Gotoh : Kessoku Band... |
(0:19:37.03) |
Hitori Gotoh : Isn't that the word for "zip tie"? |
(0:19:39.02) |
Ryo Yamada : It's brilliant. |
(0:19:41.75) |
Nijika Ijichi : It's the worst pun! We're totally changing it! |
(0:19:42.57) |
Ryo Yamada : Why? It's cute. |
(0:19:44.82) |
Hitori Gotoh : Y-Yes. |
(0:19:46.60) |
Nijika Ijichi : Band name aside, it's time to play! |
(0:19:48.91) |
Nijika Ijichi : Don't worry. |
(0:19:53.19) |
Nijika Ijichi : The key is to have fun, even if you suck! |
(0:19:54.84) |
Nijika Ijichi : Your feelings really come out in your playing, see? |
(0:19:58.55) |
Hitori Gotoh : R-Right... |
(0:20:01.98) |
Nijika Ijichi : We can always work on the skill part next time. |
(0:20:03.92) |
Ryo Yamada : Yeah. |
(0:20:07.04) |
Hitori Gotoh : Next... time... |
(0:20:08.13) |
Nijika Ijichi : Okay, let's go! |
(0:20:09.54) |
Ryo Yamada : Right. |
(0:20:10.78) |
Hitori Gotoh : They're okay with there being a next time! |
(0:20:12.72) |
Nijika Ijichi : Nice to meet you! We're Kessoku Band! |
(0:20:19.28) |
Nijika Ijichi : We'll play a bunch of songs you probably know, |
(0:20:22.24) |
Nijika Ijichi : so please enjoy! |
(0:20:25.26) |
Seika Ijichi : Who's that? |
(0:20:26.64) |
Hitori Gotoh : I hate that I can't play as well as I usually do, but... |
(0:20:37.80) |
Hitori Gotoh : playing in a band with other people is so much fun! |
(0:20:41.56) |
Hitori Gotoh : I've never really shone before today... |
(0:20:48.60) |
Hitori Gotoh : And I still don't! |
(0:20:52.60) |
Hitori Gotoh : This might actually be a low point for me! |
(0:20:53.73) |
Nijika Ijichi : Boy, I screwed up! |
(0:21:01.03) |
Ryo Yamada : Your intro bombed, too. |
(0:21:02.88) |
Hitori Gotoh : E-Excuse me! |
(0:21:04.80) |
Hitori Gotoh : B-B-B... |
(0:21:06.54) |
Nijika Ijichi : What? |
(0:21:07.53) |
Hitori Gotoh : B-B-B-B-B... |
(0:21:08.39) |
Nijika Ijichi : Okay, you're freaking me out! |
(0:21:10.11) |
Hitori Gotoh : B-Before our next performance, I'm gonna get brave enough to say hello to my classmates! |
(0:21:12.25) |
Nijika Ijichi : What a dramatic declaration. |
(0:21:17.01) |
Ryo Yamada : Such growth... |
(0:21:18.48) |
Nijika Ijichi : Okay, I get it. |
(0:21:20.25) |
Nijika Ijichi : Sure! |
(0:21:21.60) |
Nijika Ijichi : Then let's have a Bocchi-chan-welcome-party- slash-concert-post-mortem! |
(0:21:22.32) |
Hitori Gotoh : Actually, I'm pretty exhausted from all this social interaction, so I'm gonna go. |
(0:21:27.25) |
Ryo Yamada : Sorry. I'm sleepy. |
(0:21:30.63) |
Hitori Gotoh : P-Pardon me! |
(0:21:32.28) |
Nijika Ijichi : There's no "ties" in this band at all! |
(0:21:38.90) |
Hitori Gotoh : I'm gonna get over my social anxiety |
(0:21:49.37) |
Hitori Gotoh : and bring out my full guitarhero powers! |
(0:21:51.30) |
Hitori Gotoh : For Nijika-chan, |
(0:21:56.89) |
Hitori Gotoh : Ryo-san, |
(0:21:57.99) |
Hitori Gotoh : and Kessoku Band! |
(0:21:59.25) |
Hitori Gotoh : S-Sorry! Sorry! |
(0:22:02.86) |
Hitori Gotoh : Watch it! |
(0:23:38.50) |
