La Corda D`Oro ~primo passo~ - 11.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
He sounds different from how he usually does.
My world is completely different from Tsukimori-kun's.
He's in a world so distant and far away from mine.
The Black and White Adagio
Cheers!
Good job in the second selection, you two!
You both gave great performances.
Th-Thank you!
Thank you very much.
We just finished the second selection tonight.
For some reason, I am staying at Amo-san's house, whose parents are out of town.
Even Fuyuumi-chan is here, and I was sure she'd turn down the offer.
I'm... pathetic.
Huh?
I'm meek and not very good at competitions.
I was a bag of nerves today and my notes kept drifting.
I'm jealous that you can always play so freely, Hino-sempai.
Th-That's not true!
It is, it is.
You sounded great!
They won't announce the rankings until tomorrow,
but I'm sure you're going to place higher this time!
What? No way!
No, your performance really was lovely.
You too, Fuyuumi-chan?
I didn't do it by myself.
Umm, Hino-sempai...
Huh?
Wh-What is it?
Umm, would it be all right if I called you K-K-K-Kaho-sempai?
Huh?
What?!
I guess I can't, huh?
No, it's fine.
Thank you so much, K-K-Kaho-sempai!
You're so cute, Fuyuumi-chan!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I want to be like you, Kaho-sempai.
What? Stop that... I'm nothing special.
No, you're wonderful. I want to be like you.
Fuyuumi-chan...
I want to be like you, Kaho-sempai.
I don't deserve to have someone say that about me.
Kei-chan! Wake up!
I'm gonna get angry if I have to do this every day!
You're going to eat breakfast, right?
Yes, I will eat breakfast.
Your hair is always so crazy in the morning.
Oh, I got a call from Tomomi-chan.
From my big sister?
Yeah, she sent you the outfits for the competition, remember?
She wanted to know if you liked them or not.
Oh, I sent her the pictures from when you were trying them on here at home.
So rest assured.
Good morning, Auntie.
Yes, yes. Good morning.
Yunoki
Azuma-san,
the main family from Kyoto is coming by tonight,
so make sure you come home early.
Yes. I will be sure to do so, Grandmother.
They announced the second selection's results!
1st - Ryotaro Tsuchiura 2nd - Kahoko Hino 3rd - Kazuki Hihara 4th - Azuma Yunoki 5th Keiichi Shimizu 6th - Shoko Fuyuumi 7th Len Tsukimori
Hey, hey. The two General Studies students took the top two spots.
That's not good for the Music Department.
What happened to Tsukimori-kun?
And the first-years didn't do well at all.
They shouldn't let them in at all. It should only be for upperclassmen.
Well, whatever. You probably think it's lousy too, huh, Shimizu?
It's a shame that I couldn't hear Tsukimori-sempai perform,
but Tsuchiura-sempai was amazing at the piano.
I thought he'd be more rough,
but his tone was subtle and relaxed.
There's a lot I can learn from the other participants, too.
2nd - Kahoko Hino
Placing higher than everyone...
Why do I feel like this now of all times?
Lili!
What's the matter? You finished in second!
What are you all depressed about?
Is it acceptable to be second because I'm in General Studies?
But isn't Ryotaro Tsuchiura also in General Studies?
Tsuchiura-kun is...
Wow! I can't believe you can play so well cold.
What? No way.
I've been practicing every single day.
What? Every day?
He's different.
I knew better.
I decided it was unfair what I was doing and decided to do my best to make up for my audacity.
But now... I feel so guilty.
Oh, right! It's about time to perform maintenance on your violin again!
Huh? Oh, OK.
Here goes!
It should be OK now!
It looks like it's using up more magic than it used to,
so it'll continue to need maintenance.
A magic violin, huh?
You're so kind to others, Kahoko Hino.
I dragged you into this without permission, and yet...
Library
Oh, Shimizu-kun.
The new arrival, "Melodies of Famous Songs" you requested is on the fifth shelf.
Thank you very much.
Fifth... Fifth shelf...
I don't get it.
Hino-sempai's performance was excellent.
But the other student's tone's subtlety and brilliance were definitely superior,
so why is her performance stuck in my head?
Umm...
What's up, Shimizu?
Tsuchiura-sempai.
Yo.
Congratulations on winning the second selection.
Hey, knock it off.
Tsuchiura-sempai is so tall.
He's got such long arms and such big hands.
It would be easy to carry the cello like that.
I want to get bigger, too.
Huh?
It's like talking to an alien.
Well, Hino did really well, too... Jumping from last to second place.
That's true.
Is something wrong?
No, it's just that her music is...
Her music? Yeah, I guess you could say it's straightforward, or without gimmicks...
Honest music.
Yeah, yeah. Like that.
Huh?
Oh, you're awake.
Huh? Uhh... what?
Shimizu wants to talk to you.
Huh?
Hey, you have a mark on your face.
Huh?
You can see it on your right cheek.
No! Really?
Ah, how unsightly!
Umm, that book.
Huh? This book? Were you looking for it?
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It's a soft sound that soothes the ears.
I'm going home.
Bye.
So maybe I wanted to hear more of it...
I'm not really second place.
Hino?
And yet, you say there's no point in performing?
Don't say that to me!
What are you doing?
It's odd that I got second place, when such a thing happened to you.
Results are results.
You're second. I'm last. Results are everything.
But...
Be proud that all the work you've put in so far got you that rank.
But that's in the past now.
I will win the third selection.
If you have time to ponder such frivolous things,
how about practicing some more?
Y-Yeah.
Frivolous things, huh?
Maybe he came to encourage me?
No, he wouldn't do that...
Hihara-sempai?
Oh, Hino-chan.
Is something the matter?
Umm, actually, they sold out of all the pork cutlet sandwiches they sell at lunch.
What? And you're depressed because of this?
Just kidding!
The truth is, my big brother's birthday is coming up.
I can't decide on what to get him.
That's nice of you.
What was it that I got my big brother for his birthday?
You have a big brother, Hino-chan?
Yes.
Hihara-sempai?
Hey, Hino-chan, are you free today?
Goodbye, Yunoki-sempai.
Yes, goodbye. Take care now.
We will!
Is everything all right, Azuma-sama?
Yes.
Well, shall we get going?
Where are we going, Hihara-sempai?
How about we start by the station?
Oh, you two seem to be having fun.
Yunoki!
We're going to pick out a birthday present for Hihara-sempai's brother.
Your brother?
She has a big brother too, so I thought she could help me pick something out.
Hey, Hihara, if you'd like, we can drive you there.
What? Really? Thank you, Yunoki!
Can we stay with them for a bit?
Are you sure? You have to get home early today.
It's fine. I'll be back before the guests leave.
What do you think of this, Hihara-sempai?
Hino-san, this one is cute, too.
Yeah! It's really cute!
Hey! This is my older brother we're talking about!
I'm just kidding around.
If I recall, your brother plays basketball in the gym a lot, right?
How about we get him something basketball-related? Like shoes.
Impossible. That's over my budget.
You have a big brother too, right, Yunoki? Have you ever given him a gift?
You have an older brother too, Yunoki-sempai?
Yes. Two older brothers, one older sister and one younger sister.
Wow, what a huge family.
But I've never given a present to my older brothers.
I'd love to see them. Do they look like you?
Good question. Maybe not.
Oh, I've seen his little sister!
Her name is Miyabi-chan. She's so cute!
If she's Yunoki-sempai's younger sister, then I am sure she's cute.
O-Of course, you're cute too, Hino-chan!
Wh-Wh-What are you saying, Hihara-sempai?
It's the truth! Right, Yunoki?
Yes. Very much so.
You too, Yunoki-sempai?
Whatever!
Did I say something wrong?
Geez...
Those girls are staring.
I guess those two really stand out. Especially Yunoki-sempai.
Here you go.
Thank you!
He's so polite.
Hey, how's this?
Hi!
It's nice!
Yes, very much so.
It'll look good on you too!
It's so big on you!
Geez, Hihara-sempai... Don't mess around!
Sorry, Hino-chan!
Thanks for going shopping with me.
No, it was my pleasure.
Being with the two of them cheered me up a bit.
What is it, Hino-chan?
Oh, the two of you really get along well.
Have you known each other for a long time?
No, the first time we met was at the school entrance ceremony.
Seiso Academy Entrance Ceremony
I planned to leave extra early, too!
Let's see... Where should I go?
Oh, a music student.
Hey, excuse me!
Yes?
He's a guy, right?
How can I help you?
I'm a new student. I was wondering where they assign the classes and stuff.
There's a sign up on the building ahead.
Thank you so much!
You're really energetic, huh?
Absolutely! I worked really hard to get into the Music Department here.
So, I'm really happy!
You're that happy?
Yes!
Wow.
All students participating in the school entrance ceremony, please assemble in the auditorium.
Looks like we should hustle.
Yeah! Thank you, sempai!
Sempai?
Uh, to all new students, welcome to Seiso Academy.
That guy was really calm before. Maybe he's a third-year?
I'll be like that when I get to my third year.
Hihara-sempai, teach us!
Sure, see here...
You're so calm and collected, Hihara-sempai.
I'll give it my all!
Continuing on, we'll call on the representative of the first year class, Azuma Yunoki-kun.
Yes.
If he's the class representative, then that means he scored number one on the entrance exam.
I wonder what he's like.
Looks like you made it on time.
And that's how Yunoki and I met.
That sounds just like you, Hihara-sempai.
It's been two years since then.
It's tough being third-years with college exams and the competition.
Are you giving equal study time to both, Hihara?
About that...
Are you two going to music college?
Yeah, I'm going into musical theory. How about you, Yunoki?
I'm actually going to study economics or business. Music is only till I graduate.
Really? I thought you'd go on to a career in music.
Umm, thank you for driving me home.
You're welcome.
By the way, congratulations on placing second in the second selection.
You gave a great performance.
Th-Thank you.
It's hard enough for someone in the Music Department like me,
so it's got to be even harder for a General Studies student.
I've been giving it some thought.
Wondering if there's any point to working so hard for the competition
while I'm at a crucial point in my studies, as a third-year.
So you shouldn't overdo it either, Hino-san.
Yunoki-sempai...
I thought the students from the Music Department would have it easier in the competition,
but it's really a lot of work for everyone.
If I have time to feel guilty, then that means I should be practicing more.
I have to give it everything I've got!
This song...
Yunoki-sempai?
It's a beautiful song, but...
What is it? It's deep and dark...
You startled me, Hino-san.
What's up?
I-I'm sorry, Yunoki-sempai!
Umm, that song you were playing...
Do you mean Albinoni's Adagio?
It has a pretty melody, doesn't it?
Y-Yes, but it sounds so sad, doesn't it?
Certainly.
But, for whatever reason, it calms me down when I play it.
Were you coming up here to practice too?
Yes. But I'll look for another place.
Sorry to disturb you!
Excuse me!
Yeah?
Umm, Yunoki-sempai. I'm going to try to give it my all.
I'm sure it'll only get more difficult for me,
but you've got way more to worry about than me, don't you?
I was worried for a bit,
but thanks to you, I feel better now!
Thank you for worrying about me.
Worry?
Me... about you?
Huh?
You didn't know, did you?
You're annoying.
Lili's One Point Classic!
Lili's One Point Classic
The flute is an instrument that makes the sound resonate as you blow into it!
It's the same principle as blowing onto the opening of a bottle to make sound come out of it.
Though it's made of metal today, since it used to be made of wood,
it's classified as a woodwind instrument.
OK, now time for a quiz.
What instrument in the flute family is half the length of the flute and plays an octave higher?
Next Episode
Umm, Yunoki-sempai, I didn't get that.
What did you say?
You're annoying.
Gah! I'm annoying?
Next episode: The Pianissimo of Guilt.
I remember you...
The answer is...
The Piccolo!
