  Speaker 1: Hey, it's your person, I guess Michelle probably, And it's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: snowing outside, well technically it's it's sleeping outside. We're having
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: a blizzard. Yay. It's been so long since we got
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: like a lot of snow, so I am super excited.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But it's looking like it's probably gonna transition into ice
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in a little while, so I'm kind of scared my
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: power is gonna go out, which is why I'm recording
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: this now and not waiting until like tomorrow or some
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: other time to do it, because who knows of all
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: have power ever? Again, this could be it. This could
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be the last day my house is ever warm. I mean,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: like probably not, but you never know. The weather thing
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: says that it's only a moderate no a low risk
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of power outages. But I'm scared anyway because it's very
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: cold out and if I lose power, then there's no
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: heat and that would make me very sad and cold.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So now, you know, I think we have like eight
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: ish inches so far of snow, and now we're just
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: getting sleet on top, so like little ice rocks. So
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that's kind of okay. I guess, I don't know. It's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: not as pretty coming down, but if you're hearing like
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: weird crinkly noises in the background, it's like ice or
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: sleeps hitting into my air condition unit or my windows.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So now you know. And when you're hearing this, obviously
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the storm will have been over and hopefully if you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: lost power, you'll have it back by then. I don't
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: know where you are, but I do know that this
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: storm hit like three quarters of the US, So if
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you're in the US and you're not on the West coast,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you probably got this storm. So yay. We're all in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it together, or we were when it happened, because it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: over now, so we can be all individual again and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not in things together. I don't know, but that's what's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: going on. I feel like it's been a really long
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: time since I recorded the first episode, given it actually
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: has been because I recorded it kind of early. But yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Everything I'm watching anime wise, this season
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: has just been like really really good. Still. Everything's maybe
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like three episodes in, like I'm still watching. I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it's Shibo Yugi. Is that what it's called, The one
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: about that girl who just plays death games. That's still
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: been like really good. The show that's like sentenced to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be a hero. I didn't really think I liked the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: first episode until like the last ten minutes, and then
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I could do this, and then
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I liked the episodes afterwards. So yeah, I'm still liking that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: The latest episode of jiu Jitsu Kaizen, at least when
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm recording this, was like awesome, like just beautiful, much
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: better than the episode before, which was just all about
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the fucking culling game, which literally was just text on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the screen the whole time. It pissed me the hell off.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So that's what's going on. I still have watched Oshinoko,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but I'm up to date with everything else I wanted
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to watch. So I don't know why you care, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: if you do, now you know. And if you don't,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you know anyway. Sorry. So let's get into Given episode two,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: because I feel like there's gonna be a lot of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: stuff I want to talk about in this and I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: didn't think that going in, So yeah, let's see what happens.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: So episode two of Given is called like Someone in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Love aw and I guess that is the title of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a song. It's like an old jazz standard that's originally
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: by musically by Jimmy van Housen and with lyrics by
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Johnny Burke, and I believe it was made famous by
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Bing Crosby. Now I don't know if that really fits
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: our kind of alternative English rock band thing that we're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: supposed to have going on, but a lot of people
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have covered this song, so maybe there's a cover that fits.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I really don't know. I tried to look into it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and I really just didn't find anything that worked for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: me and made sense. So yeah, if you know and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, Michelle, it's by this band, it's not
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: even that like someone in love song that you think
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it is, because yeah, you should like write to me
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and tell me so that I know this, because I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. I tried, I really did, and uh yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So if you remember from the end of the last episode, Mafu,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you had just told Uaynoyama that he thinks he's cool
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and it was a big deal, and he asked again
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: if Wuaynoyama would teach him guitar. So that's not exactly
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: where we start, but close, I guess. So the episode
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: starts with us panning down like from the top of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the very large windows in the stairwell. I don't think
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I told you in the last episode, but the stairwell
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: has like giant fucking windows, especially at the landing area,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Like the whole wall is just windows, which is very nice,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and outside we can see that the sky is blue
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and it's partly cloudy. I think we see this guy
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a couple more times in this episode, and it's always
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: just blue and partly cloudy. I mean, unless it's at night.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So apparently this area just is nice all the time.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. After we pan down, we see Mafuyu
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: sitting alone on the landing hugging his knees, and then
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I realized that he was sleeping, kind of leaning his
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: head on his guitar case. We hear someone walking up
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and rustling like they sit down, and maybe they took
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: off a bag or a guitar case. I was pretty
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sure it was a guitar case. Mafuu opens his eyes
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and he sees ou we know Yama sitting next to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: him with a guitar case. Yay. Mafuyu's like, ou we
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: know Yama kun ou weo Yama says hey. Mafuu notices
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that Uei has brought his guitar with him and it's like,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: are you gonna teach me guitar? Oh oio Yama says,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: don't expect serious lessons or anything. He is kind of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: mostly out a frame, but we hear him like unzipping
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his guitar case and he continues, but if I don't,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: you're never gonna drop it. So mafo You kind of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: exhales happily and he's like, oh, I know, Yama. Kun
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: oio Yama looks up from whatever he's doing with his
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: guitar case and says, huh, mafus, like, thanks for taking
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: me under your wing, and he kind of like bows
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and then we go to the opening theme.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yay I guess anyway back from the opening, we see
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: them again, sitting on the landing. We're kind of slightly
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: above them and like looking through the wall of windows
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: at them, and uaiino Yama is tuning his guitar and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I can see the actual you know logo slash you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: know name on the head of the guitar and it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: says telecaster. So I was right, it is a telecaster.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yay A. Mafu You is watching super intently as he tunes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Ou Wei know Yama's kind of getting a little bit
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: freaked out about this, and he's starting to sweat, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: they actually have him. I mean you hear him tune
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: all the way to the B string. So he's like, yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: like that sort of At that though, he stops in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: size and he's like, what a mafu. You says, it's different?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: O we know. Yama's like what. He looks at Mafuu's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: guitar and is like, what is it. Mafuu points to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Uo Yama's guitar and he's like, mine is different than yours.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He knows how to tell things apart guys. Yay Ouio
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Yama says, uh, do you mean the color the model?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Mafus like the model we're just kind of seeing like
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the very tops of their heads now. I guess probably
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to save animation money. There's a lot of that in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this show and in this episode where we're like just
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: seeing far away from the people or like not their
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: faces when they're talking, so we don't have to animate them.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's like not super noticeable unless you're me and you're
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: just watching it for that, so that's it's fine whatever. Anyway,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Leno Yama says, ah, mine's a fender telecaster. You have
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a Gibson hollowbody, right, Mafuyu's like Gibson hollowbody. Okay, let's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pause there, because that means I can actually tell you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what kind of guitar Mafuu has. So I looked it
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: up to make sure I had the model number right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And then also I started reading the manga and I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: found like a page, you know, where it talks about
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Mafuu and his guitar and stuff. So, Mafu, you has
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a Gibson ES three thirty. I knew he had a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Gibson ES something because they all kind of look like that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, ES three thirty. And it's probably important that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I tell you that these are really expensive guitars. You
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: can get a similar looking guitar that's made by like Epiphone,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: which is kind of like a less expensive Gibson. Like
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it's technically manufactured by Gibson, but it's like a less
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: good brand, you know how Sometimes that is where you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have like a really good brand and then they like
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: also make like lower end things. So Gibson has another
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: brand that's Epiphone that makes lower end guitars. So you
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: get one of those, and that's a little cheaper. But
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: all of that to say that I was looking up
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to see like where es three thirties start price wise?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: If you want a new one right now, the cheapest
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is about thirty five hundred dollars. Yeah, it's an expensive guitar. Yeah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on that he has that guitar.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And also like he's just carrying it around and like
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: probably hitting it into things when he's on the train
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, you have to be careful with this guitar.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He really should have a hard case if he's gonna
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: really protect his investments. So that's just what I wanted
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to tell you. And yeah, I think I said in
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the last episode. Hollow body guitar or semi hollow is
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: like a kind of in between between like a solid
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: electric guitar and an acoustic guitar. It's electric, but it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: has a hollow middle, so you get the resonance from
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the wood instead of just from the pickups, which is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: what you'd get with an electric guitar, versus the resonance
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: that you'd get with an acoustic guitar. So it's kind
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of an in between. Yeah, all right, sorry, let's continue
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: on anyway, Mafuyu's just said basically that he doesn't know
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: what gibson is or what a hollow body guitar is,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and Ouioyama's like, do you seriously have no idea what
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: your guitar is? Mafu Yu kind of looks at the
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: ground and sighs, oh no. Ayama just stares at him,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like what the fuck is this dude, and then he
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: like clenches his teeth and thinks he's so annoying out loud.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He says, well, whatever the model is, an important is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: long as you can play it. That is mostly true. Honestly,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: no one will care what kind of guitar you have
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: if you're good at playing it, except for like guitar
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and arts. Anyway, Mafuyu is still kind of looking at
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the ground like slouched, and Ueoyama continues, Uh, so you
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: know how to tune it now? Right? Mafyu strings up
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: gasps and is like yeah, he's blushing slightly, and he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: strums the open strings of the guitar. Yeah, there's kind
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of a long pause, and then Ueoyama's like, that's not
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: tuned at all. Yeah, it sounded pretty bad. I tried
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to make my guitar out of tune a little bit
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so that you could understand anyway. Mafuu's like huh. He
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: strums again and it's yeah, it's really out of tune.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: He pauses and he's like why though. Hu Yama says
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: why and he makes like a really frustrated sign. He's like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you tuned it where right? Mafuju says, yeah, yesterday, Oh
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I know. Yama's like yesterday. You know, the smallest thing
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: can throw off your tune in just putting your guitar
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and a case can turn the pegs or I mean
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: like cuddling it like Mafuuh's been doing, because it cuddles
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it a lot, and that's gonna mess things up. You
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: need to tune it constantly. Mafu U's like, uh, what's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a peg Ooh? I know. Yama just stares at him
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: like the question has caused him, like physical pain. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: then we go to the two ten sign. In the hallway.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Inside the classroom, there are kids like talking to each
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: other and stuff like it's a free period or lunch
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: or who knows what it is. OI know. Yama is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: at his desk looking at his phone and he's scrolling
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: through some Google type thing, and we see like some
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of the search results, and the translated one says the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: difference between people who are good at teaching guitar and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: those who aren't. And this is from https dot dot
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: slash slash practice Guitar dot com slash. I can't see
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the rest, and we get a snippet and it says,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about today's theme, those who are
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: good at teaching guitar and those who aren't. Last time
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we talked about those who aren't very good at it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Really like somebody spend an entire block of time discussing
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: what makes someone not good at teaching guitar. Yeah, I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: don't think this is a real article, but he's really
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: trying to help here anyway. He looks kind of annoyed.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: In size, we see a wall clock and it is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: two twenty two. We hear a voice who is definitely
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the teacher say, and so the teacher is looking at
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a book standing in front of the class. Since answer
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to is past tens, we can rule that out. Answer
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: one applies to the last question, so we can rule
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it out as well. Ounoyama is writing something in a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: notebook and he thinks it's probably too early to teach
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: him chords. He's tapping his pen or mechanical pencil, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell on the paper, and we see that he's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: been making diagrams of like both of their guitars, like
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: all their parts and things, which is pretty cool, he continues,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But being able to play a song would make him
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: feel like he could actually do it. Yes, that's what
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you want. Should I start by teaching him how to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: read tabs? No? Nah, thank god? He sighs and looks
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: out the window. What the hell was I doing when
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I first started? Now we see the exterior of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: studio and we hear music, and then we see how
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Douki's fingers like plucking the bass strings as like a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: song ends, and he says, how's that? Oh? We know?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Y'ama's like, oh, that part you changed up a little.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I think it works. How do? He's like yay? And
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: he turns to Kaji, who is at the drums in
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the foreground, and he's like, what did you think, Akihiko?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Kaji says, sounds good to me. Doki's like, you could
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: at least sound like you mean it. Kaji narrows his
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: eyes intensely like he's trying to focus real, real hard,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: and how do He's like what and Kaji keeps making
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that face and how do he is just staring at
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: him getting kind of freaked out. Now, then we go
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: back to Kaji, who was still silent making that face,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and finally he smiles and he says sounds good to me.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: How do He's like, that's not any different. We now
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: see u weio Yama drinking from a water bottle, like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: seated on a stool, and we hear Kaji say we're
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: gonna go take a smoke break O. We know Yama's like, okay.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: We hear the door open, and then uio Yama says, oh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Kaji son, ha Doki son. They turn back around from
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the door and say hmmm. At the same time, we
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: know Yama's like, uh, is it okay? If I bring
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Sato next time? Kaji says Sato how dok He's like, oh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: mafu chan. Kaji says oh. We know. Yama's like, it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: probably better if he just plays as much as he
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: can at first instead of overthinking stuff. He rubs his
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: neck and I thought he'd have an easier time playing
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in the studio Kaji and how do he smile? And
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Kaji's like, so you decided to look after him? Huh sure?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Why not? How dok? He's like yeah, U weo. Yama's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: eyes widen and he blushes slightly and he bows and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: he's like, thank you. Kaji says, that said you being
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: so concerned with what we think isn't like you? Ue Sama?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: How Doogie puts his hand over his mouth and he's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like it really isn't o we know. Yama's like, ugh,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I just thought I should at least ask. Kaji says, well,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: aren't you a good boy? How do He's like he
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: sure is? Kaji says, just the best. Uinoyama looks up
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: at them and he's starting to get really annoyed, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: how do he continues He's such a good boy? Uino
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Yama says, if you're not gonna take your break, we're
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: gonna get back to practicing. They start to like walk
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: off quickly, and Kaji's like, hold on, just one smoke?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: How do ok? He says back in a minute, now
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: we see kind of like a high upshot of like
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a nice looking town. The sky is blue and partly
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: cloudy again, like I said it might be, and we
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: get some still frames of like kids walking to school
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and kids buy lockers and shit, and Mafou is, I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: guess about to take shoes out of his locker because
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's reaching for them. We hear uya
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yama say morning. Mafuu looks behind him and U I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: know Yama is standing there but like not looking at him,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and Mafou says morning O. Weio Yama finally like glances
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: in his direction says you free today. Mafu's like, huh
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: ou we know. Yama leans over kind of out of frame.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I believe he's putting on his shoes because it sounds
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like that's what he's doing, and he says, you can
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: come by and watch our band practice if you want.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Mafoou gasps and blushes slightly, and Uyo Yama starts to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: walk away, and Mafuu says, really O. We know. Yama's
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like yeah, just don't get in the way. He walks
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: down the hall and Mafuu races to catch up with him.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So now Mafuu is just kind of talking slightly behind
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Ouayno Yama like looking really happy and blushing. Ouin Oyama
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: looks at him and then away again and kind of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: makes our unhappy grunt. Now we see the school exterior
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and the bell is going off and it looks like
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's twelve fifty. I'm gon go back to the class
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: two ten sign and we hear a voice say oayno Yama.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's that like reddish haired kid that plays basketball, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: he's holding a basketball and he says, wait, you're skipping
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: basketball again. Uino Yama is standing with his guitar in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: his back, and he says, yeah, sorry, and we hear
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a voice say, o wayna Yama kun. They both look
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: over and it's that kind of shortish brown haired girl
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: and she's standing near the door pointing at it, and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Mafuyu like leans in the doorway and smiles and blushes
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and says oyen oyama kun. Now we cut to the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: interior of like a train car, like a subway probably
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: train car. Ooo. Yama and maful You are both standing
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on the train, you know, holding the little thing so
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: they don't fall over, and they're standing like next to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: each other. Anyway, Oui no Yama says, they said it's
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: fine for you to play too, as long as it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: during our breaks. Mafou looks at him and gasps, really
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: we know. Yama says, yeah, so be sure to say
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: thank you. Mafuu's like, okay, thank you, we know. Yama's like,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not to me. Mafuu looks confused and it's quiet for
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a second, and he says, the guy with the long
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: hair ou we know. Yama's like, Haruki san. Mafuu continues,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Is he a college student Wuna? Yama says, yeah, wait,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: actually I think he's a grad student. I think he's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: studying something to do with video. Mafuu's like hmm, he's
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: kind of taking it in and he says and the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: guy with the piercings Wayna. Yama's like, that's Kajisan. He's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: a second year at the same college that Hadukisan goes to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you better remember their names and faces by
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the time we get there. It's hard man. Mafu's like, yeah,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: we see a train sign now that has something to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: do with manners and like giving up your seat for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: an old woman, and it says in English, at least
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: think train manners. I don't know why we're looking at this,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: maybe to save animation budget A. Mafus like, you're amazing,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: uino Yama kuhn h oo. Yama's like, huh me mafu
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: YOUU says you're in a band with a college student
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and a grad student. It's kind of a long pause,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and then uino Yama says, I don't see what's so amazing.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: It might be a little bit embarrassed, because honestly, being
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a high school student and being in a band with
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: college kids is actually pretty cool. Now we see a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: sign that says Shimo Kitazawa Station, and I looked up
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to see where the hell that is, because these seem
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like they're real places. And it is an interchange station
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: on the Odaku Odawara and ko Ino Kishira lines located
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in Kitazawa, Setagaya, Tokyo, and the station is jointly operated
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: by Odaku Electric Railway and Ko Corporation. Anyway, the Shimo
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Kitazawa district, which is where this is located in, is
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: like really popular and it has like a lot of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: independently owned like shops and cafes and live music venues.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: So this is a pretty good place I guess to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: have like a music studio. I think it makes sense.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: That's all I learned. Yay anyway we see them like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: walking through you know, the thing that you go into
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: enter a subway, the little gate thing that like you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: like put in your money or swipe a thing. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I was confused because I was like, I think they're
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: getting off here, so why are they like swiping their thing?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But apparently on Japanese subways, you swipe your like card
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or whatever when you enter, and then when you exit,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you swipe it again to pay because you have to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: pay like per stop or mile or something, which sounds
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: like it could either be a good thing or a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: bad thing, depending on how far you're going. But I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: just thought that was really interesting because I'm very much
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: used to you swipe your card or whatever it is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: when you enter the subway and you pay a flat
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: fee and then you just leave when you leave. Plus,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: like if you get to a place and you realize
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you don't have enough money, what are you supposed to do?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Get back and go home? Like that's not gonna work. Also,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: like if I were to get on a regional rail,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I would have to buy a ticket ahead of time
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: based on like where I'm going, so it would never
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: be like you don't pay until the end. I don't know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: but I guess it works in Japan like this, so
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: yay I learned something new, I guess. Anyway, they're going
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: through the little gate things, and the gate like closes
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: on Mafuu so we can get through. I mean, he
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: could step over it. It's real small, but that would
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: be illegal. So we hear like a tone and then
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a voice says, please reload your IC card, which is
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the card that you swipe. Yeah. Mafu You looks up
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: at uai no Yama and is silent for a second
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and he's like wait a second, and he turns back. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: he's got to go put more money on his card.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Ouio Yama exhales. Now we see the side of a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: building that's like all windows, some of them are frosted,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: some of them aren't in maybe like a pattern, but
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: like not a coherent pattern, and Mafuu is just staring
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at it like it's the coolest thing ever. It's it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: pretty cool, but not that cool, and uio Yama's like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: sato over here. Mafou looks up and walks over to him,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and uya Yama's like, geez, you've been here before. Mafu
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You says, yeah, they start walking again, and then we
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: see the exterior of the studio. We're kind of looking
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: up at it, and mafu You says guitar. Uio Yama's like, yep,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: mafu You says, do you practice a lot? They are
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: walking into I guess the studio building. Now there's like
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a weird lobby that I couldn't really make sense of.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It has like vending machines and like a guitar hanging
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: on the wall and someone behind a counter like it's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a concession stand. I don't really know. This was weird
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to me anyway, Ueinoyama's like, well, yeah, you can get
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: good without practicing. Mafuuu bows to the counter person as
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: they pass, and it's like oh. They stand out in
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the hallway in front of the practice space room door,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and uio Yama's like, you're not having second thoughts now,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: are you. Mafuu's like no, uino Yama says good. Now
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: we see how do Kei like staring at his phone
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and he hears the door open, and we hear uio
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yama say, hey, guys, how do Gi looks up and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, welcome, I've been waiting for you. Mafoou
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: bows and says thanks for having me. Uino Yama points
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: to maybe, like I guess the wall and says, sit
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: over there somewhere. Mafuu's like, okay, how do Ki says
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Mafo you do you want to play a little before
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: we start? Mafuu stops walking over to the wall and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: we see that the clock says it is six fifteen,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and uino Yama's like, are you sure how to pisan
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Pi's like yeah, totally, Aki goes late. Anyway, you want
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to play, right, Mafu youu gasps and he's like yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Uino Yamba seems kind of surprised by this for some reason.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And then we see the ceiling. Yes, it's the ceiling
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: or the wall. I couldn't really tell. As Mafu You
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: tunes his guitar with one of those tuners that like
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: sits on like the top of the guitar, like where
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the tuning pegs are. You like clip it up at
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the top on the head of the guitar and it
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: shows you what note you're playing so you can adjust it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I do not have one of these, but I know
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: many many people who do. And he's tuning the high e,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: which is the first string, and uino Yama walks over
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to him and says, done tuning. Usually you end with
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the high e, so yeah, he probably is. Mafuu nods
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and says, yeah. See. Oenoyama is holding up an instrument
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: cable and he says, then go ahead and plug this in.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Mafuyu's like, plug it in, a dude. Oenoyama says, here,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: let me. He plugs the cord into the front of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Mafuyu's guitar, and he says, make sure it's plugged in
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: all the way. Mafui's like, what is it? Yeah, I
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: would be getting frustrated too, honestly, because what do you mean?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: What is it? That's It's okay, it's okay. He doesn't
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: know anything. It's fine. Ouen Oyama says, it's a guitar cable.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It connects your guitar to the amp. Mafuy's like amp.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Ouen Oyama puts his hand on the marshall half stack
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: amp that is there that he's gonna plug it into,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and he's like this it makes you louder. That's actually
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a very good description of what an amp does. I guess.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: We see a close up of the amp, like, we
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: can see the power switch and a standby switch, and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: it is a model jc M two zero. I can't
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: see there, but I can tell you that I looked
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: it up and there is no such thing as a
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: JCM to zero whatever. So they were probably going for
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a JCM eight hundred, which looks a lot like that,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: but they didn't actually want to know name it correctly
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: because then they'd be advertising it or something. Anyway, Uinoyama continues,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: First make sure the power is off and the volume
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is at zero. We see other parts of the amp now,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like the other knob, so there's a reverb knob like
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: ultra gain and classic gain. I guess, and uino Yama
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: plugs the cable in and they says, and then turn
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on the power. We hear him turn it on and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he's like, got it. Maful You says, yeah, how do
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: key is watching all of this? And he's like that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was so easy to understand. Honestly, that was really good.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He's good at making things simple for people. So yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: major points or something. Ouiinoyama then says, make sure you
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: connected in that order. Mafu You says, yeah, what happens
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: if you do it wrong? O we know. Yama looks
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: away and thinks for a second, and then he turns
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the amp off, puts the gate all the way up,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: pulls the cord out and hand it to Mafu you
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and he says, give it a try, and how do.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, no wuinno. Yama's like, he'll learn
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: better if he messes up on his own, that's true.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: How do? He's like, yeah, but think of our ears
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: please while they are freaking out. Mafu you flips the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: power back on and we hear almost like a minor pop,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I did it, And how do? He's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: like oh, and he claps. Okay, let me pause there
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: so that I can explain what that was. So this
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: is really, in my experience, more of a problem. When
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you're unplugging, like an instrument cable from an amp, you
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that you have turned off the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: amp before you unplug it, because if you don't, it
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: will make a loud pop noise because you'll be hearing
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the sound of you removing the plug. So it's very
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: unpleasant for everyone involved. Sometimes it's loud, sometimes it's not
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: that loud. But I have a habit of just removing
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: them and totally forgetting that an amp is involved, because
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I normally play acoustic, Like my acoustic guitar has like
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: a little pickup in it that I installed that I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: can use to amplify it, but I almost never do that,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So when I do that, I totally forget and I'll
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just pull it out and everyone will be sad because
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's a loud pop. So right, the way to avoid
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that would be to just turn off the amp before
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you do that. Normally, it's not as big of a
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: deal if the amp is on when you stick it
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: in and you absolutely do not need to turn the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: volume all the way down, you could just turn the
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: amp off because then you have to reset the volume,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm getting pissed off about that. I don't know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: so this is a little bit overblown. But the joke is,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of course, that's mafu. You did it and it was
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: not a big deal. So yay, now now you know.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not even sure that I explain that in
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a way that makes sense. Definitely, uhai o yam is
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: better at explaining things than I am, so sorry anyway,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Ueinoyama says the volume and play a bits like what
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: is he gonna play? Did you teach him anything? Mafu
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: is like okay, and uio Yama says, it'll be too
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: loud if you turn it up too much. At first,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Mafou says, okay, how do He sits down to watch
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: all of this, and mafu U strums and uey o
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Yama adjusts the volume and he says this should be fine.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Mafuu strums again, and uio Yama is like, I know
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I told you to play a bit, but I guess
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you don't know any chords exactly. Maybe a sea would Mafu.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You gasped, and it's like, I want to learn the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: first one that you played me. He starts to blush
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: a little, and we get a flashback of when Ueinoyama
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: was playing that chord in the stairwell, which I can't
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: even remember now. If I said that that was a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: chord or not, I might have said I thought it
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: was a G. It is not a G. But we'll
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: get to that in one second anyway. Unoyama's like, oh,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that's right here. He's pointing to the strings, but it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: too far away and we've got like a weird angle,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: so we can't tell what strings and what fingers he's
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: talking about, and he says the second one and then
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: this one and this one, and how do key is
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: just really enjoying less? Oh no, Yama continues, No, no,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: use your middle finger and the ring finger. Hmm. We
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: cut to Mafuu's hand and he's holding a chord position
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and he takes a deep breath and he strums. He gasps, yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it sounds perfect. But let's pause for a second because
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: we need to talk about what happened here, because it's
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: not well, it didn't make me happy anyway. The chord
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I just played. That's an A chord more or less.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, my guitar is mostly in tune. So the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: A chord is comprised of three notes, which is A
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: C sharp and E. So you typically don't play the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: low e string, which is the sixth string with an
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: A chord, but the first string, which is a high e,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: is open, and the fifth string is also open because
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: it is an A. There we go, So you put
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: your first or point your finger on the second fret
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: of the fourth also known as D string. Then you
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: put your second or middle finger on the second fret
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: of the G or third string, and then you put
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: your third or ring finger on the second fret of
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the second or B string, and you can play it
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: all together and you have an A that sounds okay, right,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm not perfect, but it sounds okay. So that
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: is absolutely not the chord shape that I see in
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the anime. The chord shape in the anime is something
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: like this, like try to write it down. So it
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: is you put your first finger on the first thread
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: of the fifth string, so like this, Look, that's weird.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Then you put your second finger on the second fret
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: of the fourth string. I think it was really hard
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to tell what he was pressing down. Okay. Then you
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: put your third finger on the second fred of the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: third string like this okay, and then you put your
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: fourth finger on the third front of the third string.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense because that would cancel out
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the last one we just did. What is that? So
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: then if you played all together, it sounds like this.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: What's that supposed to be? I don't know. That's not
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a chord. So I was a little bit sad about
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: this because how hard would it be to just put
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the positions that are correct for the A chord or
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: not show it at all. I can only assume that they,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: just the people who did the anime, thought that there
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be a lot of musicians that would be watching this,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: or that no one would notice, or they didn't care
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: enough to look. I don't know, but this actually prompted
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: me to start reading the manga, which I had stopped
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: reading because well, it's really hard to read a music
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: manga that doesn't have actual music in it. And I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: learned that none of this is in the manga at all.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: It's all anime original and it kind of sucks, so
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: not happy with it. Anyway, Sorry about that detour. Let's
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: get back on it. So anyway, Mafuyu has just played
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: this chord sort of and he gasps again because it
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: sounds really good, and it probably wouldn't. It would probably
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: sound more like this, trying to make this sound like
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: that or something, because he's never played a chord before,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: so he's probably gonna press down hard enough, you know,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: But he is just a genius. He's great. So it
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: sounds great, and he looks to Uei no Yama for approval,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and uio Yama smiles. Mafuyu strums again and he starts
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to just shrum over and over and over again and
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: faster and faster and faster, and he keeps strumming, and
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: uino Yama starts to look annoy and he's like, ohkay,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that's enough that he no. We hear Howdouki like laughing
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: in the background as Kaji opens the door, and he's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: like hey, and and then we hear uino Yama say, look,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: we get it. You're happy, and mafou is still strumming,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and Kaji's like, what the fuck is going on? And
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: uyin O Yama says, you can stop it now. You
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have asked him to stop like that, because
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the whole point was him practicing, right, but whatever, it
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: was too much for uyino Yama. Anyway. Now we see
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the exterior of the building and it's dark out, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: we hear uyeno Oyama say, first here He points to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the spot on the guitar that's between like the pickups
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: where the strings are on the body, and mafu You
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: says yeah. Uino Yama like taps on the strings and says,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: you generally play here between the pickups. Cool, mafu You says,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: okay uino Yama is sitting on a stool and he's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: holding his telecaster while Mafu You sits on the floor
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: like in front of him, and he continues, you can
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: just try and memorize a couple of chords to start
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: off with. You just need to have some idea of
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: what it should sound like. Muffu. He's like, okay. Kaji
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and Hodoki are now smoking outside, and hodok he blows
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: some smoke which is gross and says, you know, Uchi
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: seems like the type to be all it's all about me, me, me,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: And Kaji's like, hmmm, how do he continues I'm talking
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about un no Yama. Kaji's like, ah, I guess he
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't call him uechi whatever? How do he continues? But
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's actually pretty good at taking care of others.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Kaji's like, well, yeah do He's like right, you think
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: so too. Kaji says, well, I mean he's been that
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: way from the beginning. Oh huh, how do he's like
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: he has? I thought he was really conceited at first.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Kaji puffs out some smoke gross and is like, well,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: he doesn't go running off on his own and for
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: his age, he's really good at listening. To the sounds
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: around him. He might have seemed a little brady because
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you know he's going through puberty. Deep down, I think
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: he's a really good, honest guy. Huh do. He's like,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised at how perceptive you are of the people
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: around you. He like pokes Kaji in the shoulder, especially
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: with that scary face. Kaji's like, what does that have
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: to do with anything? He kind of scratches his head
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and he's like, actually, how do I say this? He's like,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: what Kaji says? Never mind, let's head back. What Kaji?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: What how do k He's like, okay, he doesn't want
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to know. He puts out his cigarette in the ashtray.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: We get a close up of Kaji's face, like just
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: half of it, so we see one eye in some
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: of his nose and he kind of like looks up
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: into the side and he thinks. Not sure if it's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that he's good at taking care of other people or
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: if he has a strong desire to protect them. I
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: think he can be both. We cut to oh, you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yama talking to Mafuyu inside we can't hear them, and
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: we get a Kaji voice over over here that says
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: which could also mean we go to the eye catch
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: what finish your fucking sentence. We see the exterior of
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the studio again, and now it is daytime, so it's
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: probably not the same day. Then we see the door
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of Studio one from the hallway. It's like brightly lits
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: inside and oo Yama says, you can pick whatever song
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you want, but you should master it. Mafuu's like, okay oo,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Ayama says, start with the intro, the very beginning of
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the song. He's like counting on his fingers. Mafu you says,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: okay ouo Yama continues, once you can do that, learn
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the verse the verses. Mafo you just cuts him off
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: and he's like okay ouin Oyama's hand shakes with rage,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and he's like all you ever say is okay or yeah?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Are you actually listening. Mafuo's like yeah ouio Yama puts
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: his hands on his head in frustration, and we get
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: like a black background, and he thinks, I have no
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: idea if I'm actually getting through to him. Mafou starts
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: strumming his guitar and he's like b b brahm and
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: at this point, huddock. He opens the door and Kaji
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: is behind him, and how do he says? Hey? Kaji's like,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: looks like you're heart at work. Mafoo You is sitting
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: on the floor and he nods and OK. He's like,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: you're starting to look like an actual guitarist. He kneels
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: next to him, say Mafuu son. Mafuj's like yeah. Hadoki says,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: if you're serious about playing music, there's one thing you
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: absolutely need. You're gonna need to do something about that soon.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Kaji's like, Oh, that's what Owainoyama is like, the thing
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I always struggle to have enough of. We see Mafuyu
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: on a like a blue background with like white dots
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: behind him, and he's like, what is that? We cut
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: two magazines now job listings, let's say, hiring two hundred
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: new staff members, find a new you with new career
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: jobs with stability, and great jobs for housewives. All right.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: We cut to Hadoki looking real intense with this terrifying
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: blue aura around him, like waving a thousand yen note
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and he says money, son, and we hear uayen Oyama say, now,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: pick apart time job from one of these magazines. We're
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: kind of like panning out and we see that all
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: three of them look just terrifying. Kaji says, from venue
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: fees to studio fees, bands need money. They all kind
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: of laugh deviously, and they're like standing over Mafuu and
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: this like look up utter horror, like Grace's Mafulu's face.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And then we hear Unoyama say, oh, we kind of
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: scared him. We got to black, and then to a
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: TV screen or I guess it's actually a phone screen
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: with a person in a salon chair facing away from us,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but they have blonde, kind of longish hair, and there's
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: some dude there too. When he's talking into the camera,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: and the dude says, hello, this is the ever so
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: unpopular Hanaoka like from the hair salon Hadu Same here
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: with my ever so unpopular friend Hadu chan, and I'll
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: be showing you a cute way to style your hair.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Comments are appearing on the screen. Maybe this is on
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: on YouTube or something. I don't know, and they're coming
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: throughout this, but I'll just read them all at the
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: same time. So one of them says Hodu chan and
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: then has like a little symbol for a boy, and
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the next one says hotto chm come. And then someone
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: says salan ha dou same and someone's like llol o
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: will and someone else says Halo chan has super broad shoulders,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: and someone's like wait, lol o wel or something. I
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, Hanoka continues, we'll start with some basic
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: styling tips. Okay, we're gonna take a section of Haddu
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Chan's hair and start curling. We see now that Mafuyu
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: is watching this on a phone and Kaji stops the
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: video and all of them are like sitting at a
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: table in a restaurant with like boots. So there's two boots.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Hadoki and Kaji you are at one, and Ui no
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Yama and mafu You were at the other. Mafuu's like
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: this is Hadoki san? Yeah it is. He has just
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: gorgeous hair. Kaji's like yep, and then in a higher voice, says,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: how do low your man's mind cute and sexy styling seminar?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: How do? He's like, shut up? Mafu You says that's
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: a part time job too. How do He's like, yeah,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: my friend asks me to help out every once in
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: a while. We have a pretty wide shot now, so
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: they're kind of in it, but just kind of in
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the corner of the restaurant, and most of this is
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: just a still frame. And Oinoyama says, you also work
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: at some fancy cafe, right, how do piece like fancy cafe?
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Kaji runs his hand through the non pinned back section
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of Hadakey's hair, because part of Hadakey's hair was in
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: like a low buner or ponytail. Okay, and he says,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: your hair is really pretty though, how do key is frozen?
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: In just utter shock? Kaji continues, did you get it
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: professionally treated? How do? He's like, uh, like once a month.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Ouoyama says, my sister gets that done too. How do
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: he continues, Yeah, it can be pretty rough. I don't
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: know anything about this guy's and Mafo You's just been
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: like looking down this whole time, and we see that
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: he's looking at a magazine that says worker Metropolitan Edition,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: this week's feature late night in early morning Jobs, this
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: month's feature jobs with long term Stability. They have a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: lot of job magazines in Japan. I guess, Mafu You says,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: do all people in bands have to have part time jobs? Oh?
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you almost like, well, not if they're rich.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: What you loaded? Mafu's like, no, Kaji says, it figures
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I should just probably say that. No, not all people
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: in bands have to have part time jobs. In fact,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I know people in bands who are homeless and don't
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: have any jobs. So yeah, you could be whatever you want.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: You can be in a band without a job. Mike
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: things a little harder, you know, if you have to
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: pay for instruments and shit, but you absolutely do it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: So shut the fuck up, everybody, That's what I say. Anyway,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: how did He takes one of the magazines off the
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: table and says, okay, let's give us some real thoughts.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: They are just having drinks, by the way, no food,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: he continues, I recommend somewhere that feeds you. Oo. Yama's like,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that's vital. I work with Kaji san at a convenience store.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: How do He's like a convenience store? Uino Yama says,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: franchise convenience stores feed you. They do. Kaji's like, you
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: can take home old stuff. You can that must be nice.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You can't do that here for the most part, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: that sucks. You've gotta go to the dumpster and get it. Anyway,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: how do? He's like, you guys need to eat stuff
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: besides Bento's Now we go to a still image of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Kaji and Uinoyama with blue shirts and hats holding cardboard boxes,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: and Ouo Yama looks like he's struggling to hold this
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: box up. Kaji is not how do, he says, Come
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: to think of it, don't you both also work for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: a moving company? Oo Yama's like, I want to get
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: his buff as Kaji san. We pan across the table
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to Kaji, who is flexing his very muscular upper arm.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: It's very muscular. Kaji's like, also for temp work, I
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: do motorcycle deliveries. We see him on a motorcycle. Work
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: as a waiter at events. We see him as a waiter,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm a security guard sometimes too. We also see
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: that how do He's like hey, and he grabs Kaji
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: by the collar and he's like, when did you do
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: all that? Yeah? Kaji smiles and is like you wanted
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: to see it? Okay. Wuena Yama says, why didn't you
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: invite me to work with you? Kaji's like, I'm pretty
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: sure high schoolers can't do these. Maful you says high
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: school kids can't work. Finding a part time job is hard. Huh.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: How do He's like, it's too early to give up.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of places high schoolers can work. Oh,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I know, what about a concert venue, Mafulu says, a
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: concert venue. Kaji's like, that's a good idea. You'd be
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: able to see some live shows for free too, strip
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: how do He's like, owai sama your face. We see
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Wuyen Oyama sipping his drink through a straw, looking super
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: fucking annoy. Kaji's like, you hate the idea that much.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Mafuuu's like, why, oh we know? Yama says, cause I
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: don't want to vomit from seeing some high school cover
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: band playing basic ass jpop songs. Geez dude, how Dooki says,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: don't say mean things like that. Really, they're trying their
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: best with their basic ass jpop songs. Leave them alone.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Now we see outside at a kind of crossroads of
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: sorts in city, and it is night out, and there's
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of folks walking around, but they're in a
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: still frame, so they're not actually moving at all. Oh
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: I know, Yama and Mafu, you are walking next to
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: each other down the street, O. We know. Yama looks
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: over at Mafuu and he's like, hey, Mafo YOUU says
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: hmm O. We know. Yama's like, I know you want
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to play guitar, but how good do you want to
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: be at it? Mafoo you says how good? O? We know?
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Yama's like, do you want to be able to play
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: just a little? Or do you actually want to be
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: able to play some songs? What? Why wouldn't you want
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: to play songs? I know I keep telling you this,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: but I've never taught anyone before. No idea if I'm
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: even doing it right? And you're okay with that? Muffuu
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: stops walking and looks at the ground. I'm not sure.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: He then looks up at Uinoyama. But I have fun
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: oh u No. Yama makes a little surprise noise and
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: he looks away because he started to blush a little,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: and he says, I see, and he starts to like
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: speed walk off. Muffu you follows him. We fades a
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: black We see an exterior shot of the school. Yay
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: and that kind of reddish haired kid that is friends
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: with Uaynoyama is sitting at a desk facing backwards, holding
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: a juice box, and he says, are you guys like
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: super good friends? Suddenly, Uinoyama is sitting at the desk
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: behind him, facing forward obviously, so they're facing each other,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and he says, huh, he's also holding a sandwich of sorts.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Who is you, guys? The kid says, you know the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: kid from the class next door. What was his name again,
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Suzuki Sanaka? We know yamas like Sato. The kid says, yeah, him,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Why are you guys all buddy buddy lately? You've been
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: hanging around him instead of us? Right O? We know?
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Ayama stops chewing and kind of like makes it sound.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: The kid says, I mean you and Suzuki O, we
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: know Yama's like t Sato. That brown haired, shortest haired
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: girl walks over and says, well, neither of you were
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: exactly sociable. They look up in mutual surprise to see her,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: and the girl says, you're in different classes and have
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: different personalities. All the girls have been wondering what's up
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: with you two? We know Yama's like they've actually been wondering.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: The girl says, yeah, I mean Sato Kun's pretty hot,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he has lots of secret fans, but
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: he seems so unapproachable. The kid says, oh oo, Yama.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: He points to the door and we see mafu you
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: kind of leaning into the classroom, and the kid continues, look,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: it's Suzuki san Oua. Yama starts to get up and
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the girl says it's Sato kun cheese. Oyama's like, sorry,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: see you guys later, and he walks away. The kids
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: like all right. The girl stares at him as he leaves.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Next we are panning down from the top of the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: stairwell again as we love to do, and we hear
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: uyin Oyama say, from top to bottom and then you
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: go back up again. Mafu U strums down and then
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: up or maybe a string. I can't tell what's happening.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: He's definitely strumming two different notes, so it's not a chord.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's, you know, doing a like a scale or something.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I really don't know because we just hear these two notes,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: and Oui Oyama's like, right, you do that over and
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: over and then it sounds like this, and he starts
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: playing this really complicated melody for some reason, and he
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: thinks Sato's a much faster learner than I thought he'd be.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: We see him like telling him things, and Mafu us
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: like strumming and stuff, but we can't hear any of it.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: He continues to think, despite not knowing the first thing
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: about it. He must have a good years. He's sort
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: of nice watching someone grow, But he's still a mystery
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: to me. I'm not sure why he's so interested in
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: music either, because people are I don't know what you want,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and his guitar isn't the kind you usually see a beginner,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: much less a high school student owning. Why would a
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: complete amateur have such a classy model? For real? Though?
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: How much did it even cost? Thirty five hundred dollars?
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: And then, out loud, he says, hey, Mafuu turns to him.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: He had been like flexing his hand, like maybe his
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: fingers hurt from the strings and stuff, and oua Yama continues,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: did you get this guitar from your dad or something?
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Mafoou blinks, looks down and shakes his head, and then
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: he says, no, I don't have a dad. Oh god,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: ou weio Yama's like, huh oh sorry, He puts his
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: hand over his mouth. Uh. In that case, what kind
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: of music do you like? Do you have a favorite song?
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: You must have at least one? Mafuu says absolutely nothing,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: and ou know Yama just waits. Mafuu is just silent,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: and Oui no Yama starts to look really annoyed, and
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: he thinks, am I getting through to him? Mafu You
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: finally says, I don't know. O no Yama slumps over
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: and thinks, damn it. Mafu You says, I'm not sure
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: if it's when I actually like, but there's a song
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: that plays in my head all the time. Oi no
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Yama thinks, you fucking whack job? Really why? And then
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: out loud, he says, what's it called? Mafu's like, I
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: don't know the name, oh, but it sounds like this.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: He takes a deep breath and then he sings. Now,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: obviously I can't sing what he sang. You will just
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: have to imagine that it was the most beautiful thing
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you ever heard, because it was the most beautiful thing
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: that Uei no Yama ever heard. I think his eyes
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: widen and as Mafu You is singing, the stairwell just
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: gets really bright and like orb and stuff. Mafu You
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: stops and he takes a breath and the atmosphere returns
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: to normal, and he says, it sounds like that. A
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: bead of sweat runs down uo Yama's face and he
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: kind of slumps over again, and Mafu You gasps because
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: that's a weird reaction. We hear uino Yama's heart beating
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: loudly and he's blushing and his eyes are wide as
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: he's like basically facing the ground, slumped over, and he thinks,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: what the fuck was that? Go to black and kind
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: of a light pulses at the bottom of the screen,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: like with his heart beat, and he thinks it was
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: almost like we're back to the stairwell and he's still
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: slumped over, and Mafu's like, Unayama kun uino Yama straightens
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: up really quickly and he takes a really fast breath,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and Mafu You looks kind of confused and maybe a
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: little frightened, and he gulps, and uino Yama says, hey,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: he's quiet for a second. Do you want to join
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: our band? Fuck? We go to the title card like
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: someone in Love, and then we go the ending theme
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: and there's like a little preview and that's it. Yeah.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: So closing thoughts, that was a lot for me. I
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot of things that I didn't
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: cover that are really important. So the first thing I
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to say is, uh, there's this thing what Mafu
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: was doing. When he responds, he's just saying like hmmm
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: basically to everything, and sometimes the translation has it as yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: and sometimes it has it as okay, sometimes it has
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: it as kay. It like can't make up its mind.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: And I remember I watched a little bit of the
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Dub and then Dub they just have him say kay
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: all the time, which whatever, so when he's saying yeah
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: or okay, okay, it's always just like hmm, like he's
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: just you know, expressing acknowledgment. But they didn't know how
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: to translate it anyway, So we got that going on.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I also just wanted to point out that sometimes teenagers
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: do have thirty five hundred dollars guitars, you know, or
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: at least unexperienced musicians sometimes have really expensive guitars cause
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: you know, they figure maybe they're gonna be really good
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: one day, so why not get the best guitar right now?
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you have money, go for it. As
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: they said earlier in the episode, actually doesn't matter what
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: kind of guitar you have to an extent, as long
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: as you can play. That's really all that matters in
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: my opinion. So we got that going on, and I
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: guess Uainoyama is now just enamored with Mafuju's voice, which
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: was very nice, honestly, and there was a lot of
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: nice kind of weaver from the hallway in there. It
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: sounded really good. But I guess my main takeaway from
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: this episode is like, does anybody know about music? Who
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: is writing this show at all? I definitely said in
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the first episode or in the lead up to it,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I can't remember that. I thought that this was a
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: really good look at what it's like to be the band,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm thinking, maybe it's not that great. Maybe
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: I fucked up and I didn't remember this correctly. So
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: we're gonna see. We're gonna see if they can change
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: my mind, because right now I'm like, I like the story,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: but like we couldn't even show a competent look in
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: a chord huh, So not sure what the disconnect there is. Also,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: it's just really interesting, So I read kind of up
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to where we are in the manga, and unless some
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: of the scenes have moved, which they might have til
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: later on. There's just so much anime original stuff, just
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: tons of it, like ouh, we know Yama telling Mafuyu too,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: you know, plug in the chord in the wrong order,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: or stuff like that's not in there at all. A
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: lot of the things where oh, we know Yama is
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: like thinking about, like how he's gonna teach him how
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: to play guitar, that's not in there at all. We
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: like don't see any of him actually trying to teach him,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: which might be because the Mangaa really didn't know much
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: about guitar, which you know, it happens. You don't have
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: to know about guitar to write a manga about guitar,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: but it does help. So yeah, it's it's interesting to me,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, I'm I'm surprised. And also I feel
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: like Mafulu is coming off significantly more ditsy in the
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: anime than he does in the manga, like buy a lot,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: and I think that's going to start to lessen as
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: we go, but right now I feel like there's a
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: pretty stark difference Mafulu in the manga just feels very quiet.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, in the anime with like him just kind
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: of like strumming and strumming even when unoiam is telling
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: him to stop. Eh, I don't feel like his characterization
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: is exactly what I'd want to see based on the manga.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: So those are my stupid opinions, and unlike some things
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: where I've read the manga, and I feel like my
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: manga opinions are really solid. With this not so much.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: So I could be wrong about all of this stuff.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: You could just hate me. I would understand. But also
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: it's fun to think about in the manga that there
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: was no you know, plan for what music type it is,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: so really we should all just imagine that it is
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: new metal, because it should be. It would be so
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: fucking cool if like Mafuu is just sitting in the
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: hallway belting like new metal style lyrics and uino Yama's
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: like this kid is fucking awesome and they're just playing
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: this like crazy new metal shit when they get together
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: and mafuu is just starstruck by it, I would love that.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I would love that. I feel like I want to
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: redub the show so that they're playing new metal. I
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: don't know, but yes, that is something I've been thinking about. Anyway,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much it. Mafu is probably gonna
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: join the band, I would assume, and we're gonna see
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: where this goes from there, I'm sure places, and maybe
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Mafu You will get a job or something. I don't know.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Oh right, And Uinoyama was like super weirded out by
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Mafu You saying that there was a song that played
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: in his head all the time, which I thought was
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: super weird because that's audiation. And I know some people
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: don't have audiation where like they don't hear music in
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: their head all the time. So I guess uino Yama
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: is just one of those people. But plenty of us,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: myself included, pretty much always hear a song in our
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: head all of the time. So yeah, I guess I'm weird. Anyway,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. It still hasn't started actually freezing raining
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: yet or icing or whatever we're doing. We're still sleeting.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: It's been sleeting forever, like forever and ever. So I'm
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: gonna go see what the outside looks like and pray,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: not really because I'm not religious, that we don't lose power,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: and I hope you didn't lose power, and yeah, I
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: hope you have a really good whatever, and I hope
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: that you were okay with the way I'm doing this
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: with like intermixing guitar because I'm not sure if I am,
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, I will see you next time unless
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have power for a week later. Weeps.
