Given Ep. 10- Wonderwall · Michelle Explains Anime, Poorly

0:00
Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, Michelle. I guess I'm here. I
0:04
Speaker 1: had an ultrasound this morning, a pelvic ultrasound. Wow, so
0:09
Speaker 1: that was something. So yeah, now you know, yay, Okay,
0:14
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about episode ten of Given today. It's
0:17
Speaker 1: the second to last episode, so that's that's pretty fast.
0:21
Speaker 1: Episode ten is called Wonderwall, which you may know that
0:26
Speaker 1: song just from its title already because it was kind
0:28
Speaker 1: of a big Oasis hit, you know the band Oasis.
0:32
Speaker 1: It came out in nineteen ninety five. It was the
0:35
Speaker 1: fourth single from their second studio album, which was called
0:38
Speaker 1: in parentheses, What's the Story? And then outside of parentheses
0:42
Speaker 1: Morning Glory, question Mark. It was a pretty big deal
0:45
Speaker 1: for them. I like the song. I've always kind of
0:48
Speaker 1: liked the song, but I'm not one hundred percent sure
0:50
Speaker 1: what the hell it's about, because I don't really feel
0:53
Speaker 1: like the lyrics to the chorus and the verse makes
0:56
Speaker 1: sense with each other. According to Noel Gallagh, when they
1:00
Speaker 1: had put it out, he said it was about his
1:02
Speaker 1: wife or something, and then after they got divorced, he said, no,
1:06
Speaker 1: it was actually never about her. It was about this
1:10
Speaker 1: imaginary friend that's gonna like come and save you from yourself,
1:14
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to tell her that because she
1:15
Speaker 1: asked if it was about me. So who knows what
1:19
Speaker 1: the fuck it's about, because he could have just been
1:21
Speaker 1: mad and then been like, I don't want it to
1:22
Speaker 1: be about her, or it could really be about an
1:24
Speaker 1: imaginary friend that's gonna come and save you from yourself.
1:28
Speaker 1: I don't know. But it's one of those titles of
1:31
Speaker 1: the episodes that I just don't think it means anything
1:34
Speaker 1: at all. I think someone just likes the song Wonderwall
1:37
Speaker 1: and they wanted to make it one of the titles.
1:40
Speaker 1: And I'm interested because the next title of the last
1:43
Speaker 1: episode is also one that I'm like, huh, I wonder
1:45
Speaker 1: if they just really like that song. But we'll find
1:48
Speaker 1: out next week because I'm not sure yet. So yeah,
1:52
Speaker 1: Wonderwall by Oasis, you know, yeah, you know that song?
1:59
Speaker 1: That song? I think Oasis they like hate each other.
2:03
Speaker 1: I don't remember if they're back together or not, but
2:05
Speaker 1: they like hate each other anyway. That's all I think
2:07
Speaker 1: about when I think about Oasis. Wow, those two brothers
2:10
Speaker 1: really hate each other. Yep. Anyway, So if you remember
2:16
Speaker 1: from the end of last episode, it was the show
2:20
Speaker 1: we played the show. Everything was really really good. We
2:23
Speaker 1: know Y'ama kissed off with you and uh yeah, maf
2:29
Speaker 1: you was thinking about being on the beach with Yuki
2:33
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So we're gonna pick up somewhere
2:36
Speaker 1: after that, but it's not clear where at the beginning,
2:39
Speaker 1: so let's get into it because ah, I don't know
2:42
Speaker 1: what's wrong with my life. Anyway. We fade into like
2:46
Speaker 1: a square ceiling light and we can hear a clock
2:50
Speaker 1: ticking in the background. We get this kind of really
2:53
Speaker 1: obscured low shot of someone laying on a bed and
2:58
Speaker 1: there's like a gig bag like resting in front of
3:01
Speaker 1: the bed in the foreground, and then there's also some
3:03
Speaker 1: kind of case that I thought maybe was a case
3:06
Speaker 1: for pedals, but I don't really know. And my thought
3:08
Speaker 1: was like, I'm pretty sure this is Uaynoyama's room, but
3:10
Speaker 1: I can't tell. But yeah, we can see him now.
3:13
Speaker 1: He has his arm like partially over his eyes. I
3:16
Speaker 1: guess he's laying on his back and he thinks hearts
3:20
Speaker 1: are like guitar strings. Yeah, I remember that from last episode.
3:25
Speaker 1: We get a flashback to Mafoou singing and the band
3:27
Speaker 1: being like, oh fuck, he can sing, and Uioyama continues,
3:32
Speaker 1: they won't play if they're too loose. You have to
3:34
Speaker 1: wind them up until they're just about to break. I
3:39
Speaker 1: don't know, dude, and that's when they become a wave
3:42
Speaker 1: that hits your ear drums. We see a flashback to
3:45
Speaker 1: I guess a slightly younger Uaynoyama. He's looking really freaked
3:49
Speaker 1: out and he's on stage. He continues, the first time
3:52
Speaker 1: I got on stage, not only did I suck, but
3:55
Speaker 1: I also got stage fright. I messed up so bad.
3:59
Speaker 1: We see his right hand with his pick in it
4:01
Speaker 1: and it's shaking and the lights come on over the stage.
4:05
Speaker 1: But it was so thrilling. He looks surprised. I guess
4:09
Speaker 1: at how good this is, and we see more of
4:12
Speaker 1: him playing, but now it's at the show that just passed.
4:15
Speaker 1: He continues, How could I have ever forgotten something so simple?
4:20
Speaker 1: I'm in love. I think he I think he met
4:24
Speaker 1: with music, and that just makes me super excited. Maybe
4:29
Speaker 1: or maybe he meant with muffle you. I'm gonna say
4:31
Speaker 1: it's music. His eyes are closed. Now I feel like
4:35
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cry. Fuck. Okay, yeah, I'm already gonna correct
4:39
Speaker 1: my take there and say he's equating the feeling of
4:43
Speaker 1: like the newness of playing on stage with the feeling
4:47
Speaker 1: of like being in love with a person for the
4:49
Speaker 1: first time. And that's kind of interesting and I kind
4:52
Speaker 1: of like it, despite how ugh love is. I think
4:56
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. So anyway, it's quiet a little while,
5:00
Speaker 1: and then we hear a voice say what u no
5:03
Speaker 1: Yama sits up and looks kind of shocked, and we
5:06
Speaker 1: cut to this guy and he's like, no, wait, Yayoi.
5:09
Speaker 1: Yayoi is in the room as well. She's kind of
5:10
Speaker 1: out of focus though, and uino Yama opens the door
5:13
Speaker 1: and he's like, dad, oh, he is a parent. And
5:17
Speaker 1: not only that, but Yayoi is cutting her hair like
5:20
Speaker 1: it's pretty long, and she's cutting it kind of to
5:22
Speaker 1: her shoulders, cutting it like just with a scissor. I mean,
5:26
Speaker 1: that's how you cut hair, so I don't know what
5:27
Speaker 1: else you'd be cutting it with. Anyway, it's just falling
5:30
Speaker 1: onto the kitchen floor all over the place, and their
5:32
Speaker 1: dad is just standing there like frozen, like in panic,
5:36
Speaker 1: and Ueno Yama's like, what the fuck are you doing.
5:39
Speaker 1: Yayoi looks up at him and she's got like this
5:41
Speaker 1: dark blue aura around her, and she's like, can't you
5:44
Speaker 1: tell I got dumped. The Dad's like, huh you were
5:48
Speaker 1: seeing someone? Yeah? You always like it was totally unrequited.
5:51
Speaker 1: The dad says, are you gonna cry? Are you? Una?
5:55
Speaker 1: Yama is just kind of staring at this in shock,
5:58
Speaker 1: and Yoa's like, I'll find even better guy, damn it,
6:01
Speaker 1: Bring it on. Uino Yama thinks Kaji saw dumped her.
6:06
Speaker 1: Kaji kind of appears in the background like doing a
6:08
Speaker 1: peace sign, and uina Ayama continues for real. We cut
6:13
Speaker 1: to a flashback, I guess of uino Yama reading the
6:16
Speaker 1: magazine's song door like on the couch, and Yayoi is
6:19
Speaker 1: laying across the entire couch with just like one leg
6:22
Speaker 1: over uino Yama and the other one like behind him
6:25
Speaker 1: on like the top of the couch like she does.
6:28
Speaker 1: And she has a towel over her face, and she says,
6:32
Speaker 1: I jokingly asked him out and he turned me down gently.
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die. Oh you know. Yama thinks she mentioned
6:38
Speaker 1: being dumped ones before, but and we hear Yayoi now
6:41
Speaker 1: scream like in frustration, and the dad is like ya
6:45
Speaker 1: yoi ou no. Yama closes the door to the kitchen.
6:49
Speaker 1: So he's out in the hallway now and he thinks,
6:51
Speaker 1: seems like it's pretty serious this time. He puts his
6:54
Speaker 1: hand on his chin. Man being in love must be
6:57
Speaker 1: rough love. Oh, this is bad. The camera zooms in
7:04
Speaker 1: on his face and he thinks. We cut to like
7:09
Speaker 1: converse Chuck Taylor's stepping into like the kind of Japanese
7:13
Speaker 1: mudroom area, and we hear a door close and someone
7:17
Speaker 1: starts to like pull them off, and then the screen
7:19
Speaker 1: freezes and gets kind of like noisy and pixelated, like
7:24
Speaker 1: there's a lot of noise on the screen, the same
7:26
Speaker 1: way you would see it if this was a videotape,
7:29
Speaker 1: and it starts to rewind, and it's making like the
7:31
Speaker 1: videotape rewind noise, and there's like lines going over the
7:35
Speaker 1: picture kind of going up as they do when you
7:37
Speaker 1: rewind a videotape like this. And we see un Oyama
7:42
Speaker 1: reverse walking home it's nights, and then we see him
7:45
Speaker 1: at the subway station, and then he is back on
7:47
Speaker 1: stage after leaving Mafuyu who is in the back room
7:51
Speaker 1: after talking to him, and then we see him backstage
7:54
Speaker 1: with Mafuu like with his hands on Mafu's cheeks and
7:58
Speaker 1: then we see them kiss it and it freezes, and
8:02
Speaker 1: Ooyama's like, wait a damn minute. He's like doubled over now,
8:08
Speaker 1: staring down his hands, shaking, just totally terrified because he
8:13
Speaker 1: just remembered apparently. He continues, the show was so intense
8:17
Speaker 1: that I ended up back home without even remembering a
8:19
Speaker 1: huge chunk of what happened in between. Did I actually
8:23
Speaker 1: kiss maf will you? Uh? Yes? At this point, the
8:26
Speaker 1: entire image is shaking. This is a big deal, obviously.
8:30
Speaker 1: Uino Yama slaps his hands out against both of his
8:33
Speaker 1: cheeks and gasps, oh shit. We now see him floating
8:39
Speaker 1: through space kind of near earth. He continues, how does
8:43
Speaker 1: maf who you feel about me? Anyway? You need to
8:45
Speaker 1: ask that before you kiss people. The space behind ueno
8:48
Speaker 1: Yama becomes like a big galaxy and he gets further
8:52
Speaker 1: and further away, and then everything turns black and he
8:55
Speaker 1: just kind of kanada flares out into oblivion and then
8:59
Speaker 1: we go theme yay, So before we go any further,
9:04
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say I was very happy with
9:07
Speaker 1: this scene. I thought that this was addressed really really well,
9:09
Speaker 1: and I know I did that whole thing last week
9:11
Speaker 1: where I was like, you can't just kiss people if
9:14
Speaker 1: you don't know how they feel about you. So I
9:16
Speaker 1: like that this kind of is coming back and that
9:17
Speaker 1: he's like, oh fuck, what did I do? Why did
9:20
Speaker 1: I do that? How Come I haven't done anything since then? Like?
9:22
Speaker 1: How come there wasn't a conversation? How did I end
9:24
Speaker 1: up back here? I just thought it was really cool.
9:27
Speaker 1: He was just so into it and into everything that
9:30
Speaker 1: he just wasn't really thinking, which is not an excuse,
9:33
Speaker 1: but it's cool that he just recognized that. Anyway, back
9:40
Speaker 1: from the opening, we see the two ten classroom sign
9:43
Speaker 1: and we hear someone who I believe is Ethaya say
9:48
Speaker 1: what you were at the concert too? Walkasan walk Usan,
9:51
Speaker 1: who is that girl with the short black hair that
9:53
Speaker 1: we've seen a bunch of times, is standing with Kasai
9:56
Speaker 1: Ki and Etaya, and she says, I'd never been to
9:59
Speaker 1: a like that before, So I had my boyfriend take me.
10:02
Speaker 1: Ittaias like, you have a boyfriend, Wacha says yeah, we
10:06
Speaker 1: went to middle school together. Ittaia's like, wow, so you
10:10
Speaker 1: both went to middle school with Sato. Waca says yeah.
10:14
Speaker 1: We get a flashback of Waka at the show, kind
10:17
Speaker 1: of looking over to the side at her boyfriend, who's
10:20
Speaker 1: in the foreground. She looks really concerned, and we really
10:23
Speaker 1: can't see his eyes, so I don't think he's okay.
10:26
Speaker 1: Waka continues, My boyfriend was kind of surprised to see
10:29
Speaker 1: that side of Sato I was surprised too. We get
10:33
Speaker 1: a shot of Yuki and Muffleu standing outside somewhere with
10:36
Speaker 1: their backs to the camera. Waka continues, Because I had
10:40
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea about what that song meant, we
10:42
Speaker 1: cut to her looking super surprised as he sings. There's
10:46
Speaker 1: a part of the song where like he kind of yells,
10:48
Speaker 1: and that's where we're seeing now, that's really cool, and
10:53
Speaker 1: she continues. So when sato Kun yelled, I felt shivers
10:56
Speaker 1: racing up from the soles of my feet, and I
10:58
Speaker 1: couldn't take it anymore. We see her and her boyfriend
11:01
Speaker 1: holding hands. I was lucky enough to have someone next
11:04
Speaker 1: to to hold my hand. They squeezed tighter. Uh, But
11:08
Speaker 1: sato kun was standing there on stage all on his own.
11:12
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how much courage that took. I just
11:15
Speaker 1: couldn't take it anymore. I don't know what I just
11:18
Speaker 1: couldn't take it anymore means because she's just standing there.
11:21
Speaker 1: It's not like she ran away or something. So I'm
11:23
Speaker 1: wondering if this is just a really poor translation. Anyway,
11:27
Speaker 1: we see her now again and she continues, I'd love
11:31
Speaker 1: to hear him sing again. Yeah, it's sad. Though, it's
11:34
Speaker 1: sad to be alone on the stage with your feelings.
11:36
Speaker 1: It's not actually that's cathartic anyway. Etia is like, I know, right,
11:42
Speaker 1: you guys got another show planned. Yet he looks over, ooh,
11:45
Speaker 1: we know Yama. Oh, I know, Yama is just passed
11:48
Speaker 1: out on his desk, and he Taia is like, what's wrong?
11:51
Speaker 1: What killed you? Oweki's like, is he burnt out from yesterday?
11:56
Speaker 1: Etaia starts poking him and goes like, poke poke. Wiki
11:59
Speaker 1: says he stopped that, and he Tiet just keeps poking
12:02
Speaker 1: him and saying poke, poke poke. Kasai I believe, but
12:06
Speaker 1: we don't see her saying this, says speaking of burnout,
12:10
Speaker 1: I heard Sato Kun's absence today too. Locus like really,
12:14
Speaker 1: Cassi says he must have been so spent he ended
12:17
Speaker 1: up getting sick. But that's not how that works. Why
12:20
Speaker 1: don't you go check on Himuio Yama kun Uhiina Miyama
12:23
Speaker 1: picks up his head. Oh, so he is awake and alive.
12:27
Speaker 1: Now we see a phone with messages from Ueno Yama
12:29
Speaker 1: on it, and they say, heard, MafA, you had a fever.
12:32
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go check on him and then head over.
12:34
Speaker 1: It's how okay. He's looking at his phone. He's standing
12:36
Speaker 1: in the coffee shop, and he thinks, God, he's like
12:40
Speaker 1: that one kid who'd always get a fever after a
12:42
Speaker 1: field trip. He gets like a thought bubble that has
12:45
Speaker 1: like a little white, fluffy dog like laying down on
12:48
Speaker 1: its side, whimpering, and he sighs. I don't get that.
12:53
Speaker 1: I like, I don't think you get sick from just
12:56
Speaker 1: doing things like you have to get a thigh virus
13:00
Speaker 1: or bacteria. I mean, I don't have any experience that
13:03
Speaker 1: suggests that doing a lot of physical activity or playing
13:07
Speaker 1: a show makes you sick the next day. But no, yeah,
13:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you could get run down,
13:16
Speaker 1: like maybe you're not sleeping well and you just feel
13:18
Speaker 1: kind of shitty the next day because you didn't you're
13:22
Speaker 1: not resting enough or something. But I don't think you're
13:26
Speaker 1: really gonna get sick. And if you do get sick,
13:29
Speaker 1: I would assume it's from something that someone gave to
13:31
Speaker 1: you at the show, virus or bacteria wise, and you
13:34
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't get it the next day. There's a little
13:36
Speaker 1: bit of incubation time, So yeah, I don't know. Anyway,
13:41
Speaker 1: how did he hears the door open and he looks
13:44
Speaker 1: up and it's Take John Yeay, and he's like, oh,
13:48
Speaker 1: how Dock? He says, hey, wait, are you working right now?
13:51
Speaker 1: Take is like, just stop and buy during my commute?
13:54
Speaker 1: Can I get a nice cold ice coffee? How Dock?
13:56
Speaker 1: He says, as you wish, and he walks over somewhere
14:00
Speaker 1: to work on it, and we see the Take is
14:02
Speaker 1: sitting at the counter and he says, Hudoky HADDOCKI. He's
14:06
Speaker 1: holding out a flask drive to him and Dock He's like, huh,
14:09
Speaker 1: what's this? Pake says, yesterday's show, I edited the audio
14:14
Speaker 1: and video from your song. Here you go, fuck hook.
14:18
Speaker 1: He flinches and then gasps and reaches for it very
14:21
Speaker 1: cautiously and then snatches it and holds it up in
14:25
Speaker 1: the air and kind of squeals with glee, and he says,
14:28
Speaker 1: Taki Sean Pake is like, well, are you delighted or what? Now?
14:33
Speaker 1: We just see Takei's legs for a while as they talk,
14:37
Speaker 1: and Hadaki says, wait, the show was just last night.
14:40
Speaker 1: How did you manage to edit it already? Did you
14:42
Speaker 1: not even sleep? Are you okay? Takes like, when I
14:46
Speaker 1: got home, I just started watching it and went a
14:48
Speaker 1: little crazy. I couldn't stop editing until I was done.
14:51
Speaker 1: It was like I was possessed. How do k He's like, no, seriously,
14:55
Speaker 1: thank you? How can I ever repay you. Take kind
14:58
Speaker 1: of puts his hand on his chin and says, play
15:01
Speaker 1: another show. Fuck? I love him? kW doke. He's like what?
15:05
Speaker 1: Take says, I know I said I went a little
15:09
Speaker 1: crazy editing that, but actually I think I was just
15:12
Speaker 1: hit by your band's passion. I want to see where
15:15
Speaker 1: you guys go from here. How do? He looks away
15:18
Speaker 1: and flushes steam is coming out of his head and
15:21
Speaker 1: Take says, you react in a really cute way. You
15:25
Speaker 1: know that Take's head also starts to steam and he's like, wait,
15:29
Speaker 1: I feel like I just tried to make a pass
15:31
Speaker 1: at you. How do He's like sorry, his hands are
15:35
Speaker 1: covering his face, and TAKEI says, anyway, that was the
15:38
Speaker 1: real reason I stopped by. I'm gonna head out after
15:41
Speaker 1: I finish this. How do he drops his hands and
15:43
Speaker 1: is like, uh, taki chan And then he looks up
15:46
Speaker 1: at the door, and Kaji is standing there looking real
15:50
Speaker 1: weirded out at this situation because it is weird, Kaji,
15:53
Speaker 1: I understand. How do he freezes? Kaji's like, sorry to interrupt.
15:59
Speaker 1: How do He's as, wait, you've got the wrong idea.
16:03
Speaker 1: Kaji's like about what Hoki says, he gave me a video,
16:08
Speaker 1: a video of our performance yesterday. Take just kind of
16:12
Speaker 1: looks a little confused, and he just goes back to
16:14
Speaker 1: drinking his coffee. Yeah, I'm gonna say this here because
16:19
Speaker 1: there's no more take in this episode. I don't think
16:22
Speaker 1: which sucks. So fucking take is just so fucking cool.
16:27
Speaker 1: I just wanted to like acknowledge how good this is
16:30
Speaker 1: that he just like immediately went home and edited this
16:34
Speaker 1: video for them and then brought it to How to Keep.
16:37
Speaker 1: And that's the way that they can pay him back
16:40
Speaker 1: is to play another show, which means that he really
16:43
Speaker 1: cares about them. I mean, he he already said he
16:45
Speaker 1: wants to see where they can go. But like He's
16:48
Speaker 1: just the kind of like epitome of like a really
16:52
Speaker 1: good promoter and like band friend to have, like someone
16:57
Speaker 1: who is really heavily invested already. And I don't know,
17:01
Speaker 1: I've had people like this on my side before who
17:04
Speaker 1: were just like, I want you to succeed. That's really
17:06
Speaker 1: all I want from you. And it's really fucking nice.
17:09
Speaker 1: And I love him. And I know it's weird that
17:13
Speaker 1: I care this much about a secondary character, but he's
17:18
Speaker 1: just so fucking cool and I love him, So that's it. Anyway.
17:23
Speaker 1: Now we see an exterior shot of an apartment building
17:27
Speaker 1: and it's mostly cloudy out. We're breaking from the partly
17:30
Speaker 1: cloudy thing that we were doing, and there's a Cana's
17:33
Speaker 1: in the background, so I guess we are heading into
17:35
Speaker 1: the summer. And ouio Yama is standing at the front
17:39
Speaker 1: entrance to this apartment looking down at his phone, and
17:43
Speaker 1: we see that on his phone there's a text exchange
17:45
Speaker 1: between him and Mafuu, so he said, is your fever okay? Mafu,
17:50
Speaker 1: you responded I think so OUI said, want me to
17:54
Speaker 1: bring you something to eat after school? A mafuy was
17:57
Speaker 1: like that's okay, and O we know Yamas said I
18:00
Speaker 1: don't mind. Mafi was like okay, thanks, and uio Yama
18:05
Speaker 1: said sure, and then a little while later he said
18:07
Speaker 1: school's out now, so I'll head over. Ohio Yama thinks
18:11
Speaker 1: it's super awkward after what happened yesterday, but I was worried.
18:15
Speaker 1: So here I am at his house. He's holding a
18:19
Speaker 1: plastic bag of groceries. Since I came all this way,
18:22
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to go there now. He takes
18:25
Speaker 1: a deep breath. We zoom in on uio Yama's face,
18:28
Speaker 1: and then we get a narrator, which I don't think
18:30
Speaker 1: we've had it all so far, that says uio Yama
18:34
Speaker 1: came to a conclusion, whatever, if I'm gonna die, I
18:37
Speaker 1: might as well go while I'm still young. We cut
18:40
Speaker 1: to a cicada on a tree, and then we see
18:42
Speaker 1: apartment three oh two, and we'd pan down to the doorbell.
18:46
Speaker 1: Uino Yama presses it and he looks terrified, so so terrified,
18:52
Speaker 1: and yeah, I totally understand. He waits for a bit
18:56
Speaker 1: and the door starts to open and he's like, uh, hey,
19:00
Speaker 1: are you okay? Mafoy You kind of slumps over at
19:03
Speaker 1: the entrance and it stands up and then he kind
19:06
Speaker 1: of rights himself and his face is flushed and he's sweaty,
19:10
Speaker 1: and he says, hi. A little explosion goes off silently
19:14
Speaker 1: in front of Uweiyo Yama, and he kind of winces,
19:18
Speaker 1: I don't like these explosions, guys. But yes, Mafu you
19:21
Speaker 1: looks pretty attractive all flushed. I guess anyway, Mafou says,
19:27
Speaker 1: come in. He is walking down the hallway now, sweat
19:31
Speaker 1: all over him, and he continues, it's a bit messy
19:35
Speaker 1: though we know. Yama's like, okay. The door closes behind
19:39
Speaker 1: Uo Yama and he is just standing in the threshold
19:44
Speaker 1: and he thinks, oh god, this whole house smells like
19:47
Speaker 1: mafo you gross. I can't take it. I should go home.
19:52
Speaker 1: Mafo YOUU opens a door at the other end of
19:55
Speaker 1: the hall and the little dog runs out, and he
19:59
Speaker 1: goes up to U Yama, and Mafou says, come on, Tama,
20:03
Speaker 1: come here. Ouina Yama's like, why'd you give it a
20:06
Speaker 1: cat's name? I guess Tama is normally a cat's name.
20:09
Speaker 1: Mafu You says, his name's ken Dama. He's happy to
20:13
Speaker 1: see you. That didn't really help me. Kendama is just
20:17
Speaker 1: staring up at Uino Yama, panting as dogs are wont
20:21
Speaker 1: to do, and uino Yama thinks, damn it. Ken Dama
20:26
Speaker 1: now runs over to Mafou and Mafau kneels down to
20:29
Speaker 1: him and says, you're not coming in Ouo. Yama lifts
20:34
Speaker 1: his plastic bag and says, here, I brought these for you.
20:37
Speaker 1: I'm going home right after this. I only came to
20:39
Speaker 1: check on you since you said your mom wasn't here. Mafo,
20:42
Speaker 1: you kind of sighs and then slumps over, and I
20:46
Speaker 1: know Yama's like, hey, don't just collapse in the hallway.
20:49
Speaker 1: He walks over and stares down at Mafau like not
20:53
Speaker 1: knowing what to do at all, and then continues, I'll
20:56
Speaker 1: at least walk you to your bed, okay, but I'm
20:59
Speaker 1: going home right after. Yeah. We cut too. Mafou with
21:03
Speaker 1: his eyes closed in bed. He's got a cold compress
21:06
Speaker 1: I guess on his forehead and his covers are pulled
21:08
Speaker 1: up just kind of over his mouth, and U we know.
21:11
Speaker 1: Yama says, I'll leave the drinks here and I'll put
21:13
Speaker 1: the pudding in the fridge. Ah uh that's nice to
21:16
Speaker 1: get a pudding. Mafuu's like, you're going home? U know?
21:20
Speaker 1: Yama says, yeah, I am, I just be in the
21:23
Speaker 1: way here. You need to sleep. Mafo you says can
21:27
Speaker 1: you stay a little longer? And we know? Yama's like
21:31
Speaker 1: you're surprisingly pushy. You know that? Yeah, Mafu you says
21:37
Speaker 1: just five more minutes? Ah, I think except gross because
21:43
Speaker 1: I don't like being around sick people because then you'll
21:46
Speaker 1: get sick. Uo Yama tenses and kind of flushes and
21:50
Speaker 1: says he sits on the floor next to the bed
21:54
Speaker 1: and Kendama and he puts his hand on Mafou's cheek.
21:58
Speaker 1: Okay and says, maf you your lyrics from yesterday, I
22:04
Speaker 1: don't really remember them that well. Was that song about heartbreak? Ooh?
22:09
Speaker 1: Mafo you opened his eyes and kind of gasps slightly
22:13
Speaker 1: says yeah, next time, I want to write a different song.
22:17
Speaker 1: He like cuddles his face against uio Yama's hand, Oh
22:21
Speaker 1: my god, and uio Yama says, next time, huh. He
22:26
Speaker 1: kinda takes his hand away. I think Mafi might be
22:28
Speaker 1: asleep now, and he thinks he's actually given thought to
22:31
Speaker 1: what comes next. The Mafau that was unleashed by that
22:35
Speaker 1: song yesterday was amazing, even though the last thing I
22:38
Speaker 1: wanted to hear from him was a love song. He
22:40
Speaker 1: blew me away. We see uino Yama being blown away
22:44
Speaker 1: by the song, you know, metaphorically, where could you have
22:48
Speaker 1: possibly stored all that sadness in that skinny body of his?
22:51
Speaker 1: It's not that hard. It's easier than you'd think. I promise.
22:55
Speaker 1: If there is a next time, I want it to
22:58
Speaker 1: be me. Oh you dead, and he's singing about how
23:03
Speaker 1: you died. I'm sure that's not what he meant. I'm
23:05
Speaker 1: sure he means that like as a love song. Yeah, yeah,
23:09
Speaker 1: that's cute. Now we see some posters on a wall.
23:13
Speaker 1: There's no real words on them, but they are definitely
23:16
Speaker 1: for alcohol. And there's also a vent hood in the picture.
23:21
Speaker 1: Yeay vent hoods. We hear someone who I think is
23:23
Speaker 1: how do ki say? Okay? So, great job with the
23:26
Speaker 1: live show. Also, congrats on feeling bitter Mafu. You on
23:29
Speaker 1: that note, comepie. We hear glasses clinking, but we don't
23:34
Speaker 1: see them. We're looking at a like a hibachi table
23:38
Speaker 1: and Una Yama Mafuu Kaji and Haddo Ki are sitting
23:42
Speaker 1: in this booth at a restaurant, I guess, and Mafoo
23:46
Speaker 1: and Uino Yama are holding like a menu between them,
23:50
Speaker 1: both looking at it, and how do Ki says, by
23:53
Speaker 1: the way they both look up? How do key is
23:56
Speaker 1: holding the flash drive? Oh? He continues, do you know
24:00
Speaker 1: what this is, my fellow citizens. He's like holding it
24:03
Speaker 1: next to his head and like pointing at it. It's
24:06
Speaker 1: a really weird way to hold in anything. I don't
24:09
Speaker 1: even know how to explain it to you. I could
24:11
Speaker 1: just tell you that it is not something that you
24:13
Speaker 1: would do normally. I mean, he could hold it out,
24:16
Speaker 1: he could put it on the table, but like putting
24:18
Speaker 1: it like next to the side of his head. It's weird.
24:20
Speaker 1: It's weird anyway, he continues. Indeed, it's footage from our
24:24
Speaker 1: recent show. There's silence for a second and then they
24:28
Speaker 1: all get maybe excited, but it's just still shot, so
24:31
Speaker 1: I couldn't really tell. But Kaji is kind of doing
24:33
Speaker 1: like those you know, like the metal sign with his hands,
24:36
Speaker 1: but not really because with the metal sign, you're supposed
24:39
Speaker 1: to put your thumbs over your you know, your middle
24:42
Speaker 1: and ring fingers, so you only have your pointer and
24:47
Speaker 1: the little guy you're pinky sticking up you know what
24:50
Speaker 1: it looks like to do like a metal sign, but
24:52
Speaker 1: he's got his thumbs kind of like to the side instead,
24:57
Speaker 1: kind of like a cross between like a metal sign
25:00
Speaker 1: and I love you in American sign language. So I
25:04
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that this was just a mistake,
25:07
Speaker 1: but it's weird. Anyway, We see cooking meat now, and
25:12
Speaker 1: how do KEI says, anyway, the USB was just for
25:15
Speaker 1: dramatic effect. He slides his laptop over the cooking meat. No,
25:21
Speaker 1: that's dangerous. It's hot there. It's already on his laptop
25:24
Speaker 1: so you can view it in all its glory. He
25:26
Speaker 1: taps the track pad and we hear it start up.
25:30
Speaker 1: Mafuyu and Uyoyama are both like whoa and they kind
25:35
Speaker 1: of laugh, and then in Unison say we're moving, how
25:39
Speaker 1: do Key and Kaji nod and think, I know, right,
25:44
Speaker 1: how do ke at this point takes his laptop back
25:46
Speaker 1: and stops the video, which is good because again it
25:48
Speaker 1: was right over like the hibachi part of the table,
25:51
Speaker 1: and it looked dangerous. He says, also, apparently I know
25:55
Speaker 1: someone who runs his own venue and saw our performance.
25:59
Speaker 1: He's wondering if we'd want to play a show there too.
26:01
Speaker 1: Mafuyu and Uo Yama are both like, oh, now we
26:05
Speaker 1: have this really weird still shot of the place and
26:08
Speaker 1: part of Kaji's leg for a while, and U know,
26:11
Speaker 1: Yama's like, where is it? Doki says, in shibu Yah,
26:15
Speaker 1: you know the place where my Stempi had a solo gig.
26:18
Speaker 1: He's got a sendpi. Uno. Yama's like that place is
26:22
Speaker 1: pretty huge. Kaji says, we'd be the opening act. Then
26:27
Speaker 1: Mafui's like opening. Kaji says, we'd be performing before the
26:31
Speaker 1: main act. I think we finally see them again, no more,
26:35
Speaker 1: just Kaji leg Hadoki says, do you want to do it?
26:39
Speaker 1: Ou know? Yama's like well, he puts his hand over
26:42
Speaker 1: his mouth, and before we can say anything else, Mafu's
26:44
Speaker 1: just like yes, yeah. There's silence, and then Kaji, how
26:49
Speaker 1: dook you look at each other? Hack? He says, well,
26:52
Speaker 1: I mean we sort of just came together all willy
26:55
Speaker 1: nilly and put on a show, but we haven't really
26:57
Speaker 1: talked about our direction or where we want to go
27:00
Speaker 1: from here, right Ouenoyama's like true, how do he says,
27:05
Speaker 1: what do you want to do from now on? Or rather,
27:08
Speaker 1: what do you want us to be? Kaji and ou
27:11
Speaker 1: Oyama stare at maf for you because apparently it's just
27:13
Speaker 1: his band now, I don't understand. Mafu You looks kind
27:17
Speaker 1: of slightly confused. Yes, I agree, MafA you. This is
27:20
Speaker 1: a little weird, and Wuenoyama thinks did he even understand
27:25
Speaker 1: the question? Why are you just asking me to Mafu
27:28
Speaker 1: You's like it was really hot and they're all like hmm.
27:33
Speaker 1: Mafo You continues, much hotter than I expected. The stage
27:36
Speaker 1: lights were so hot. We see him like on stage,
27:39
Speaker 1: kind of looking up at the lights. I don't really
27:41
Speaker 1: remember anything else. I was just thinking about how it
27:45
Speaker 1: is actually allowed to say that much. Fuck. I can't
27:48
Speaker 1: describe that feeling very well. I want to do another show, yeah,
27:53
Speaker 1: wun Oyama looks surprised. Mafo You continues, I want to
27:57
Speaker 1: experience that feeling again. Also, I want to write another song.
28:01
Speaker 1: This point, Yama is kind of bent over the table
28:05
Speaker 1: and they all take a piece of meat from the
28:08
Speaker 1: grill and put it on Mafuu's plate, which is quietly like,
28:11
Speaker 1: we respect the head answer, I think, and Hadaki says Okay,
28:16
Speaker 1: got it. Let's stop ordering meat for a second. First off,
28:20
Speaker 1: what the hell is our band name? Someone? I think
28:23
Speaker 1: it's Haaki still says, that's where we got to start.
28:26
Speaker 1: Kaji clicks a pen like a you know, the back
28:30
Speaker 1: of a bend that makes the little pen point come out,
28:33
Speaker 1: and Hadaki says, when it was just the three of us,
28:36
Speaker 1: we were going by the seasons. That's what we use
28:38
Speaker 1: for the show. The other day too, Uinoyama was like,
28:41
Speaker 1: since all of our names have a season in him,
28:44
Speaker 1: Kaji says, it's as symbol as it gets. Hadki says,
28:48
Speaker 1: but we're a completely different band now that we have four,
28:51
Speaker 1: so I thought it'd be a good idea to change
28:53
Speaker 1: our name. Probably. Kaji has out like a notebook and
28:57
Speaker 1: he crosses out the seasons and how do key continues?
29:02
Speaker 1: More importantly, I found out that there are a bunch
29:05
Speaker 1: of other bands with similar names. Yeah. I just did
29:09
Speaker 1: a quick Google search, and there are so many bands
29:11
Speaker 1: called the Seasons. And then of course you have the
29:14
Speaker 1: four Seasons, which was kind of a big deal. And
29:16
Speaker 1: I also think about stuff like Seasons fifty two, which
29:19
Speaker 1: is a restaurant. There's a lot of seasons. It's not
29:22
Speaker 1: very original. It would be sad to have that name.
29:25
Speaker 1: Uino Miyama says, couldn't we just change part of it?
29:28
Speaker 1: We could be like something or other season. A lot
29:31
Speaker 1: of bands add colors or words or other things that
29:33
Speaker 1: they like. How do Ki says, hmmm, hey, MafA you,
29:38
Speaker 1: is there a word you'd like to add to it?
29:40
Speaker 1: Anything that pops into your head. MafA kind of looks
29:43
Speaker 1: up and thinks for a minute, and then he says,
29:46
Speaker 1: maybe give. And by give, I mean give in English.
29:49
Speaker 1: It's like geebu in Japanese. I don't mean that the
29:53
Speaker 1: word give is translated to gibu in Japanese. I mean
29:57
Speaker 1: he's literally saying give in English. In Japanese anyway, he says,
30:02
Speaker 1: my dead boyfriend's mom gave me this guitar. Geez dude. Yeah,
30:06
Speaker 1: now that he's open about things, he's just gonna start
30:09
Speaker 1: putting stuff in conversation, just awkwardly like that. How do
30:13
Speaker 1: Ki's eyes widened because whoa, and MafA you continues. At
30:18
Speaker 1: first it almost felt like a curse, but it was
30:20
Speaker 1: basically my new start. Kaji is looking down at the
30:24
Speaker 1: paper and he says, hmm give huh. How dock he
30:28
Speaker 1: thinks huh no snarky comments. Kaji taps his pen against
30:33
Speaker 1: the paper and he says, give seasons, put them together
30:38
Speaker 1: and you get givens. That's not good. Maybe given yay,
30:44
Speaker 1: title drop, guys, title drop how dock He's like, hey,
30:48
Speaker 1: not bad, it's short too. Who Yama says, no arguments here, Okay,
30:53
Speaker 1: it's settled, let's order more meat. Mafu's like, wait, it's
30:57
Speaker 1: decided just like that. Paji says, that's what happened last
31:02
Speaker 1: time too. I'm getting salted tongue. Wuino Yama says, who cares?
31:06
Speaker 1: We all agreed on it. Mafo, you looks comically sad. Maybe,
31:11
Speaker 1: and uino Yama continues, I hear a lot of bands
31:14
Speaker 1: pick their names based on whatever they have around. If
31:17
Speaker 1: we went with that, now, we'd be called salted tongue.
31:20
Speaker 1: That no, hold on, I have to stop there. That
31:24
Speaker 1: is the best band's name ever, Like the salted tongue
31:29
Speaker 1: or the salted tongues or salted tongue. That's fucking awesome
31:33
Speaker 1: because you get like, I don't know what plays into
31:36
Speaker 1: everything really good, Like maybe it's like really salty, like
31:41
Speaker 1: maybe the lyrics are like a really kind of brash,
31:44
Speaker 1: you know, like it would be a really good punk
31:47
Speaker 1: band or like a hardcore band or something like that,
31:50
Speaker 1: but something with like really like punchy lyrics. I wish
31:54
Speaker 1: I needed a band name because it would be the
31:56
Speaker 1: Salted Tongue. I love that, And now I'm also really
31:59
Speaker 1: sad that they didn't choose that, because that's a better
32:03
Speaker 1: band name than given. Given is totally fine and it
32:05
Speaker 1: makes sense, and it's a good title drop, but Salted Tongue. Yeah.
32:12
Speaker 1: Someone presses the order button that rings and then also
32:15
Speaker 1: makes like a moo sound, and Hawk says, let's make
32:20
Speaker 1: an account with our name is given. At this point,
32:23
Speaker 1: we are just looking at the corner of the table
32:25
Speaker 1: in Kaji's leg rate and Kaji's like, we're counting on you, Hadocki.
32:31
Speaker 1: He says, let's put our live footage on the site too.
32:34
Speaker 1: We know y'allmost like we're counting on you. Ha to
32:37
Speaker 1: Ki sank He says, uh, let's enter ourselves and some
32:42
Speaker 1: stuff maful use like haw to Kisan, he says, fine,
32:47
Speaker 1: I'll do it, but so you know, we're dividing up
32:49
Speaker 1: the work. Later, we see the notebook again and Given
32:53
Speaker 1: is circled and then we get the eye catch. Hooray
32:57
Speaker 1: back from the eye catch, and maybe a commercial. We
33:00
Speaker 1: get this greenish bagous background or something, and we hear
33:04
Speaker 1: a bunch of people say rock, paper, scissors. Hands move
33:08
Speaker 1: onto the screen and three of them have rocks and
33:11
Speaker 1: one of them has scissors, and we see uin Oyama.
33:15
Speaker 1: He like doubles over. He's the one who had scissors,
33:18
Speaker 1: so I guess he loses. And it is Uno Yama, Mafuu,
33:22
Speaker 1: Ueki and Ittaya sitting on the floor in the hallway,
33:25
Speaker 1: and Ittaya raises his hand and he's like, I want
33:28
Speaker 1: yacki soba bread. Uaki's like, I'll take any kind of
33:31
Speaker 1: rice ball. Etaya says, what about you, mafu you. He
33:35
Speaker 1: also hands a key over to Ueyoyama. Mafu You says tea.
33:39
Speaker 1: Uoyama's like yeah yeah, and he walks off kind of
33:42
Speaker 1: around the corner, and Ataia says, oh, and get me
33:45
Speaker 1: a hyper cup of vanilla one. Uino Yama leans back
33:48
Speaker 1: into view and he's like okay, fine, and he leaves
33:51
Speaker 1: before we continue. I tried to look up hyper cup
33:54
Speaker 1: and there was nothing called hyper cup, so I was confused,
33:58
Speaker 1: but I think they meant super cup. I think it's
34:00
Speaker 1: like either a it was a translation error or it
34:03
Speaker 1: was you know, like they were doing that thing where
34:06
Speaker 1: you make a fake product sound like a real product.
34:08
Speaker 1: But anyway, a super cup is a little cup of
34:11
Speaker 1: ice cream. Yay ice cream? Anyway, oly know Yama has
34:15
Speaker 1: left and Mafu you says, is it your bicycle? Etaypekun? Yeah,
34:19
Speaker 1: I guess that's what the key was for. E. Tai
34:21
Speaker 1: is like nope. Uki's like, we don't know who the
34:25
Speaker 1: original owner was. Mafou says, you don't. Etai is like
34:30
Speaker 1: that bike's been handed down for generations since before we
34:33
Speaker 1: even started at the school, so you may also use
34:36
Speaker 1: it if you want to go to the convenience store, Mafou.
34:39
Speaker 1: Mafuu's like thanks. He starts to eat a green bun
34:43
Speaker 1: thing that I don't know what it is, and Awaki says, Sato,
34:46
Speaker 1: are you feeling better now? Mafus like yeah, I was
34:50
Speaker 1: all better after I slept. Etai is like, your show
34:53
Speaker 1: is insane. A Waki was even crying. Owki says, stop exaggerating. Mafo.
34:59
Speaker 1: You looks kind of surprised, and then he smiles like
35:02
Speaker 1: really contently. Yeah, now we see the studio at night,
35:07
Speaker 1: the exterior of it, and we see a phone which
35:11
Speaker 1: is open to I'm not really sure, and it's actually
35:15
Speaker 1: not a phone. I found out slightly later that it
35:17
Speaker 1: was a laptop. And we see like a web page
35:19
Speaker 1: and it says browse genre, mood, podcast charts, new releases,
35:24
Speaker 1: discover concerts, and under that is popular mood artists, trends,
35:29
Speaker 1: and then we don't see anymore because the page is
35:31
Speaker 1: cut off, but we see that in the search bar
35:34
Speaker 1: is given whoo. Now we get a screen of the
35:38
Speaker 1: search results and we see Winter Story given in parentheses,
35:42
Speaker 1: the seasons and how to. He's like, okay, it's uploaded.
35:46
Speaker 1: They're all looking at the computer as he does this,
35:49
Speaker 1: and Ouo, Yama and Kaji bow and say thanks. How do.
35:53
Speaker 1: He's like, let's go ahead and tweet about it. Make
35:56
Speaker 1: sure you tweet sometime toom off with you. Yeah, I
35:59
Speaker 1: miss when Twitter was twitter. Mafui is like, I can
36:02
Speaker 1: do it too. Kaji is kind of off in the
36:04
Speaker 1: background doing something with his phone and oh you know.
36:08
Speaker 1: Yama looks back at him and I don't know, and
36:11
Speaker 1: Haki's like, of course, we'll all be sharing an account.
36:13
Speaker 1: He turns around now he's facing Kaji, and Kaji snaps
36:16
Speaker 1: a picture and he posts it with we've started a
36:20
Speaker 1: social media account. We see someone scroll down it's it's hotokey,
36:23
Speaker 1: but we don't know that yet. And there's already a
36:26
Speaker 1: comment and the comment is from Taki Shan and it
36:29
Speaker 1: says followed and his icon is like glasses on a table,
36:34
Speaker 1: like his glasses and basically just looks like him. I
36:37
Speaker 1: love him so much, and I love that he's the
36:40
Speaker 1: first person who said something. He's so fucking good. Anyway,
36:44
Speaker 1: they're all outside and had Kei is looking at his
36:46
Speaker 1: phone and he says, Taki Shan, wait, we cut to Kaji.
36:51
Speaker 1: He kind of like looks up and he says recommendations.
36:55
Speaker 1: He looks back at Mafuyu, who is standing in front
36:58
Speaker 1: of him, and continues, is there a certain genre you
37:01
Speaker 1: want to hear? Mafoyu shakes his head. I'm not really sure.
37:05
Speaker 1: I want to hear all kinds of things. God. She's like, okay,
37:09
Speaker 1: I'll compile a random playlist. Wouldes ceed work for you?
37:12
Speaker 1: Mafo You bows slightly and he's like, yes, thank you.
37:16
Speaker 1: We now see the city at Knights. Mafu You is
37:19
Speaker 1: walking and he stops in front of a music store.
37:22
Speaker 1: We cut to him looking at a wall of strings. Yeah,
37:26
Speaker 1: and a hand comes up from behind him and like
37:30
Speaker 1: chops him in the back of the head. And he
37:32
Speaker 1: turns to see Hidagi and Shisusumi, who sometimes I call Shizusuma,
37:36
Speaker 1: which is pissing me off. And I'm sorry about that.
37:38
Speaker 1: It probably upsets you too, and Hi Dogi says yo.
37:43
Speaker 1: Mafoo's like what he Doggie's like heading home from practice.
37:48
Speaker 1: Mafo You says, yeah, he's still looking at the strings,
37:51
Speaker 1: which one of these strings won't break? He dogg. He's like, huh,
37:56
Speaker 1: there's no such thing. Mafo You says, I see Kaggi
38:00
Speaker 1: kind of makes like a noise and then he's like
38:03
Speaker 1: what why. Mafou says, because mine broke the other day
38:07
Speaker 1: even though I just changed them. Kagi's like, huh, you
38:10
Speaker 1: got razors in your fingers or something. It just keeps
38:13
Speaker 1: squeezing the strings. Mafoy's like, of course not. He picks
38:17
Speaker 1: up a pack of Nicolium wound Diabanio extra large regular
38:23
Speaker 1: light gauge and it says the gauges of the strings
38:25
Speaker 1: are ten thirteen seventeen twenty six, thirty six and forty six.
38:29
Speaker 1: Technically it doesn't say seventeen and twenty six. I just
38:32
Speaker 1: looked it up to give you an idea of what
38:34
Speaker 1: the gauges are of regular light electric guitar strings. I
38:38
Speaker 1: don't know why you need that, but you know now.
38:41
Speaker 1: So he's just kind of looking at them as Hidagi watches,
38:44
Speaker 1: and Hidagi finally says, are you gonna continue with your band?
38:47
Speaker 1: Mafu's like, yeah, we're gonna do another show. Kid agis
38:51
Speaker 1: quiet for a second. Well, I guess I wouldn't mind
38:54
Speaker 1: checking it out if I've got the time. Mafoyu says, nah,
38:58
Speaker 1: that's okay. He's like, huh, Mafiu puts the pack of
39:02
Speaker 1: strings back. You don't have to come if you don't
39:05
Speaker 1: want to. He's like what and he just kind of
39:08
Speaker 1: grits his teeth, and Mafu you says, well, you said
39:11
Speaker 1: you were busy. Hidaki's like, I just said I'd go
39:15
Speaker 1: if I have time. He tried to pretend that he
39:19
Speaker 1: didn't care in it backfired. Now we see the city
39:24
Speaker 1: at night, and we can see way way way down
39:28
Speaker 1: a sidewalk. Hidagi and She'susumi are walking and Hidraki says,
39:34
Speaker 1: damn it, he's so not cute. We fade to a
39:37
Speaker 1: flashback of she's Azumi standing in an alley. Hidragi walks
39:41
Speaker 1: up behind him and she's Asumi turns and he's like, Hidragi.
39:45
Speaker 1: Hidragi has his hair over his eyes, can't see his expression,
39:50
Speaker 1: and she's a Zumi says, were you able to talk
39:52
Speaker 1: to mouf? And before he can finish his sentence, Hidragi
39:55
Speaker 1: just starts fucking sobbing. She'suzumi is obviously surprised, and Hidagi
40:00
Speaker 1: just like falls onto his shoulder and puts his arms
40:03
Speaker 1: around him and just just crying. And he's like, I'm
40:07
Speaker 1: so happy mom for you was able to sing. Oh fuck,
40:13
Speaker 1: He's such a fucking sweetheart. We fade to white and
40:16
Speaker 1: we see she's assuming now, just kind of thinking about it,
40:19
Speaker 1: and he says, I'm glad you guys can talk normally now.
40:23
Speaker 1: Hidaki turns around and he's blushing slightly, and he's like, huh,
40:28
Speaker 1: what do you But he can't finish what he's saying,
40:31
Speaker 1: and he just looks so sad, and he puts his
40:33
Speaker 1: head down and she's assuming like puts his hand on
40:38
Speaker 1: he Doggi's head and he's like, just shut up, really, dude, really.
40:44
Speaker 1: Now we see the exterior of Kagi's house at night,
40:47
Speaker 1: and Kagi is standing out by the garage, but he
40:50
Speaker 1: kind of like walks around the house. I guess he's
40:52
Speaker 1: gonna go to the door, and then we see Ugetsu inside.
40:57
Speaker 1: We're just kind of seeing his back and it looks
40:58
Speaker 1: like he's looking at a something, maybe sheet music in
41:01
Speaker 1: a book, and we hear Kaji say I'm home. Ah,
41:05
Speaker 1: it's so nice and cool in here. Who gets Who
41:08
Speaker 1: looks up at him and says, I've officially debuted the
41:10
Speaker 1: ac yay. Kaji walks across the room as U gets
41:16
Speaker 1: who follows him with his eyes, and ugets who says,
41:20
Speaker 1: what are you smirking about? Akihiko. Kaji is taking off
41:24
Speaker 1: his shirt over by the drum set, facing away from us,
41:28
Speaker 1: which is kind of weird, and he's like, huh u
41:31
Speaker 1: gets Who says, something got you all worked up? Kaji turns,
41:35
Speaker 1: smiling semi deviously. Then we see I guess the windows
41:40
Speaker 1: from outside of the basement just quickly, and we hear
41:43
Speaker 1: their band playing, and then we see the video on
41:47
Speaker 1: I guess Kaji's computer and who gets Who's like, huh,
41:51
Speaker 1: I guess you upload your own live footage nowadays. They're
41:55
Speaker 1: sitting at like that low table watching it, and Kaji
41:58
Speaker 1: is kind of leaning over. Who gets you? Shoulder? Who gets?
42:02
Speaker 1: Who continues? I thought all band guys were low tech.
42:05
Speaker 1: I don't know why you'd think that at all. Kagi says,
42:11
Speaker 1: what do you think? O gets? Just like, hmm, it's
42:15
Speaker 1: not bad, but it's not great either. I know what
42:18
Speaker 1: it sounded like live, so this really doesn't compair. Yeah,
42:22
Speaker 1: you don't even get one one hundredth of what it
42:24
Speaker 1: sounded like live. Kaji is sweating a little, and he's like,
42:27
Speaker 1: don't say that. Who gets to continues? Music is all
42:31
Speaker 1: about seeing the actual live performance. Kaji sighs, Who gets Who's? Like?
42:36
Speaker 1: I mean it's not bad, though, Kaji says, Gee thinks
42:41
Speaker 1: Hu Getsu thinks No, seriously, it's not bad at all.
42:44
Speaker 1: Kaji is off somewhere now and we hear him say,
42:47
Speaker 1: who gets too? Did you get u? Getsu thinks, but
42:50
Speaker 1: that's why it's such a waste. What Kagi says, if
42:55
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I'll make some yaki soba for you too.
42:58
Speaker 1: Who gets to leans back against the bed. He's smoking
43:00
Speaker 1: by the way, and he thinks this kid could be
43:03
Speaker 1: really big if he had the right kind of trigger. Uh,
43:07
Speaker 1: do you mean a death of someone he really liked,
43:09
Speaker 1: because he already has that. Now we see the subway
43:13
Speaker 1: I guess inside a subway station, and Haddoki and Kaji
43:17
Speaker 1: are waving Uino Yama and Mafu You off as they
43:20
Speaker 1: enter the Odaku Line entrance Central gate, and then we
43:24
Speaker 1: see them standing on the train. They're obviously standing next
43:27
Speaker 1: to each other. Unoyama is flushing and he's kind of
43:31
Speaker 1: turned away from Mafou and he thinks it's kind of
43:34
Speaker 1: nerve wracking being along with him. We hear mafu you say,
43:38
Speaker 1: Uno Yama, khan Ouinoyama's eyes widen and he makes kind
43:42
Speaker 1: of a little surprise noise. Mafu You continues after this,
43:46
Speaker 1: do you Uinoyama looks like, freak the fuck out and
43:49
Speaker 1: he thinks what MafA you says? Have any plans? Ooyama's like, no,
43:56
Speaker 1: I don't. Mafu you turns to him and OU know
43:59
Speaker 1: yam was like, what if you have something to say?
44:02
Speaker 1: Say it is there somewhere you want to go? He thinks,
44:05
Speaker 1: get your shit together me. If I'm too pushy, He's
44:08
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm overbearing out loud, he says, I mean,
44:12
Speaker 1: I don't have the money to go very far, but
44:14
Speaker 1: I'll take you wherever you want. What Mafuyu says really
44:19
Speaker 1: Uinoyama thinks, I can't anymore. I just contradicted myself very much.
44:24
Speaker 1: So do you have enough money to take him wherever
44:27
Speaker 1: he wants to go? Where do you not? We see
44:29
Speaker 1: the train going over a bridge, and then we cut
44:32
Speaker 1: to a street with a big brick building on one side,
44:36
Speaker 1: and like lots of people standing in the street and
44:38
Speaker 1: sitting on the sidewalk, like groups stalking each other and shit.
44:41
Speaker 1: Un Oyama thinks, so why do we come to Yokohama
44:46
Speaker 1: Mina tom Rai. I look that up to see what
44:50
Speaker 1: it is. Mena to me, Rai is the central business
44:53
Speaker 1: district of Yokohama, and it was developed in the nineteen eighties.
44:57
Speaker 1: And the red brick building we're seeing is the Yokohama
45:01
Speaker 1: Red Brick Warehouse. Used to be an old customs processing facility,
45:06
Speaker 1: but now it's like open to the public. And this
45:08
Speaker 1: area is really like it has a lot of shopping
45:10
Speaker 1: and shit and really nice bayside views and that kind
45:12
Speaker 1: of stuff. Anyway, as uino Yama is thinking, why the
45:16
Speaker 1: fuck are we here, Mafuu is looking around in awe
45:19
Speaker 1: and then he just like runs off. Uino Yama thinks,
45:23
Speaker 1: what does he want here? And then he realizes that
45:25
Speaker 1: Mafuu is gone, and he's like, huh hey, and he
45:28
Speaker 1: runs after him. What the hell Mafou is running towards
45:31
Speaker 1: the railing, I guess where the bay is, and uino
45:34
Speaker 1: Yama continues, Hey, don't be a psycho and jump in
45:37
Speaker 1: the ocean or something. Mafo you Mafou stops at the railing.
45:41
Speaker 1: Oino Yama's eyes widen as Mafou turns to him, smiling. Huh.
45:46
Speaker 1: Unoyama finishes walking over to him, and he puts his
45:51
Speaker 1: hands on the railing next to him, and he kind
45:53
Speaker 1: of like hunches over and clenches his teeth hard. Yeah,
45:57
Speaker 1: this is this has been a lot of emotions for him.
46:01
Speaker 1: That's quiet for a while, and Mafu he was just
46:04
Speaker 1: looking out over the bay and he says, isn't me
46:07
Speaker 1: not Tomi Raia amazing? This is my first time here.
46:11
Speaker 1: Oh my god. He's trying to make first with him Uino.
46:14
Speaker 1: Yama is still kind of bent over, and he says,
46:17
Speaker 1: I've come here a few times before for school and stuff.
46:20
Speaker 1: Mafay says, huh, that seems like a popular date spot.
46:25
Speaker 1: Oh ohio. Yama shoots up and is like you, but
46:29
Speaker 1: he stops himself because Mafuy was just looking out over
46:32
Speaker 1: the bay so serenely as his hair is blowing in
46:35
Speaker 1: the breeze. Mafoo kind of steps the side a little
46:38
Speaker 1: bit closer to Ouo. Yama kind of shoulders him with
46:41
Speaker 1: his shoulder and says, I like you. Oi know, Yama
46:44
Speaker 1: kuhn oi know. Yama's like what, He's just frozen for
46:50
Speaker 1: a while. After this, his mouth's just wide and he says, huh,
46:55
Speaker 1: mafus like, I like you. And then we go with
46:58
Speaker 1: the title card Wonderwall, and then we go the end
47:03
Speaker 1: and that is it, yay, So closing thoughts. First, I
47:08
Speaker 1: want to get this out of the way. In the
47:10
Speaker 1: translation I was watching the official translation, it says that
47:14
Speaker 1: Mafou says I love you at the end. He first
47:16
Speaker 1: he says I like you know, Yama kun, and he says,
47:19
Speaker 1: I love you. I didn't hear that. I heard I
47:22
Speaker 1: like you again. It would be pretty fast if he
47:26
Speaker 1: said I love you. There, I'm thinking I am right,
47:28
Speaker 1: and that this was a kind of a weird translation
47:32
Speaker 1: from what I know about Japanese, which isn't that much.
47:35
Speaker 1: It is kind of odd to say I love you,
47:39
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't expect that there. I would just expect
47:42
Speaker 1: I like you. So yeah, So that's why I said
47:46
Speaker 1: I like you and not I love you, even though
47:48
Speaker 1: the dialogue on the screen was telling me I love you.
47:51
Speaker 1: So but this is a big deal. They both like
47:54
Speaker 1: each other and they both know that they like each other,
47:56
Speaker 1: which is really cool. And I liked Mafu you just
47:59
Speaker 1: kind of making this into like a little impromptu date
48:02
Speaker 1: without telling him it just like it reminds me a
48:04
Speaker 1: lot of how he went to the beach with Yuki,
48:07
Speaker 1: how it was like kind of a date, but you know,
48:09
Speaker 1: they just kind of went there and have a first
48:11
Speaker 1: experience for Mafuu. And here's another one. It was nice.
48:15
Speaker 1: And it's really interesting to me because mafuy is quiet, obviously,
48:21
Speaker 1: not really aloof except in the anime a little bit,
48:24
Speaker 1: but not really in the manga. So it's surprising to
48:28
Speaker 1: me that he's so like upfront about these things. Like
48:32
Speaker 1: Uno Yama is having all of these problems figuring out
48:35
Speaker 1: like how to deal with Mafuyu because he likes him
48:38
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know what to do and he doesn't
48:40
Speaker 1: know how to figure out if he legs him back
48:43
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and Mafui was just like very confident,
48:47
Speaker 1: like he's just gonna come out and say how he
48:50
Speaker 1: feels about Ui no Yama, like it's no big deal.
48:53
Speaker 1: And it is a big deal to tell someone that
48:55
Speaker 1: you like them, even if you think that they like
48:58
Speaker 1: you back because they just kissed you unprompted. But yeah,
49:03
Speaker 1: I like that he is taking kind of the first
49:06
Speaker 1: real step in their relationship. I just like that he's
49:09
Speaker 1: kind of actually confident despite what kind of we might
49:14
Speaker 1: have thought earlier. He's kind of he's got himself together
49:17
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I think that that's cool. I
49:19
Speaker 1: like that a lot. So yeah, trying to think about
49:23
Speaker 1: what else I wanted to tell you that I didn't
49:25
Speaker 1: stop during the episode too, because there was definitely something else.
49:28
Speaker 1: Hopefully I will remember that. But one other thing I
49:31
Speaker 1: just remembered is that we had a couple of episodes
49:34
Speaker 1: where we weren't so heavy on the not animating to say,
49:39
Speaker 1: budget this episode, there were so many scenes where we
49:42
Speaker 1: were just seeing like someone's foot, not really a foot,
49:45
Speaker 1: but lay a leg or something for like a good
49:48
Speaker 1: thirty second, so there didn't have to be animation, and
49:51
Speaker 1: it just it was really noticeable in this episode to me,
49:54
Speaker 1: and I didn't really like it. And I think that
49:58
Speaker 1: one of the negative of this show is that I
50:03
Speaker 1: notice these kind of animation saving measures like a lot,
50:08
Speaker 1: so I think that they could have been done better.
50:11
Speaker 1: We could have focused on more important things, or more
50:13
Speaker 1: significant things than just like the side of someone's knee,
50:17
Speaker 1: you know. So that's not great. But I mean it's
50:21
Speaker 1: not like I don't get it. You only have so
50:23
Speaker 1: much time to do these things and so much money
50:26
Speaker 1: to pay people to do them. So yeah, especially after
50:30
Speaker 1: last episode, which was like a lot of movement, I mean,
50:33
Speaker 1: it still wasn't crazy over the top production, but it
50:36
Speaker 1: needed a lot more, you know than this did. So
50:39
Speaker 1: I get it. Also, I mean I mentioned it a
50:41
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, but gross, I do not want to
50:43
Speaker 1: be over someone's house when they are sick. Gross. Okay,
50:47
Speaker 1: I think the last kind of the only other thing
50:49
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about was when Mafuu was talking
50:53
Speaker 1: about how it felt to play a show and how
50:55
Speaker 1: like he kind of didn't remember a lot of it
50:57
Speaker 1: and you know, it was just kind of hot, and
51:00
Speaker 1: but he had a nice time and he wants to
51:02
Speaker 1: do it again. That's yeah, that's kind of like what
51:04
Speaker 1: play in a show is. Like, I mean, it's not
51:06
Speaker 1: hot unless you're in a place that has lights on you.
51:09
Speaker 1: Like most of the shows that I played don't have
51:11
Speaker 1: lights blaring down at me, And it's not hot unless
51:15
Speaker 1: it's hot out, which sometimes it is. But just the
51:18
Speaker 1: kind of like I did the thing that I don't
51:21
Speaker 1: kind of fully remember what it's exactly, but it was
51:24
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff and it was fun. Yeah. I
51:27
Speaker 1: mean sometimes I remember shows more than others, But I
51:31
Speaker 1: guess there's this kind of just adrenaline and excitement and
51:34
Speaker 1: that's really what you end up remembering unless something really
51:37
Speaker 1: weird happened during the show or really good or really terrible.
51:40
Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess I just wanted to throw that
51:43
Speaker 1: out there that I thought that his explanation of it
51:46
Speaker 1: made a lot of sense, even though there wasn't much
51:49
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah. So I guess they're going to be
51:53
Speaker 1: a band and their name is given now, which is
51:56
Speaker 1: it's decent. It's not salted tongue, but it's decent. But yeah,
52:00
Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty much this episode, just kind of
52:02
Speaker 1: what happened after this show and what Uino Yama and
52:07
Speaker 1: Mafu's relationship is gonna look like, which looks like it's
52:10
Speaker 1: building into something that's not just a friendship. So that's
52:14
Speaker 1: exciting for both of them, I assume, and probably you
52:17
Speaker 1: and maybe even me. So, yeah, we have one episode
52:21
Speaker 1: left and that'll be next week. That's really all I got,
52:25
Speaker 1: I think. So I'm gonna go panic because I am
52:29
Speaker 1: really good at that, and I hope you have a
52:32
Speaker 1: really good whatever. Yes really, and yeah, I'll see you
