Have a Song on Your Lips Page #3

Is your elbow okay?

You're bleeding.

Nii-chan!

Nii-chan.

Sensei.

Satoru is here! He's here to get me!

Nii-chan, I was looking for you.

You made me wait. I waited for you.

Yeah, I made you wait.

I waited. You, too!

Is your brother's elbow okay?

Yeah, it looks like it's no big deal.

Oh? Good to hear.

Good to hear.

I'm glad you're around.

I guess he's in a good mood, too.

He does this when he's in a good mood.

Does he now?

Yep.

Come on... stop moving.

All good, now.

All good, now!

Akio, hold on!

Akio, take off your hat!

Sensei, thank you very much!

If you have time, how about coming in?

Would you like dinner?

No, this is it for me.

Satoru.

Satoru!

Come here a minute.

Take care on your way home.

Again, thank you so much!

What the hell are you

doing leaving Akio alone?!

Sensei!

Um... I...

will be leaving the club.

Are you really okay with that?

Was it your decision?

Yes.

Okay. Then I won't say anything.

- Mom.

- Yeah?

I...

want to--

I'll take care of picking Akio up tomorrow.

You want to be in the club, right?

It's okay?

I'll take care of picking him up.

You take him in the morning.

I'll let your father know.

Sorry.

Now, now, Satoru...

you're supposed to say "Thank

you" at times like this.

It's the first time you've

asked something of me!

Thanks.

Nii-chan. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Satoru.

You're supposed to say "Thank

you" at times like this.

At times like this.

Yeah. Nii-chan.

Thanks. Thank you.

Starting today, we will

practice the parts separately.

We can finally sing it!

Sing louder!

Sing it properly!

How about standing up straight?

Do you guys even care?

Freshmen, open your mouths a little wider.

No, no, more like this.

Ready? Here it comes!

- Eri.

- Nazuna...

Where is the teacher?

She said she had a meeting and took off.

I tried over and over again,

but they don't listen to me.

It's boring when Kashiwagi-sensei isn't here.

And Keisuke is really late.

Dumbass! Where are you aiming?

Thanks.

What's all this about Kashiwagi-sensei?!

Hey! Sorry I'm late.

Keisuke. What are you thinking?

"Thinking"?

You said you'd try hard, so I let you all in

but they are playing instead of practicing!

We'll just make fools of

ourselves at the real deal!

Calm down.

This is why boys are garbage.

Shitheads!

- Hey.

- Don't lump us together with your dad.

Yeah.

Your dad is the garbage around here.

Yeah. The biggest pile of it.

Hey, that's...

So, why did you do it?

Don't do it again.

It was because of

Nakamura Nazuna's father.

What was?

His fight today.

So that's it?

She doesn't have any parents at home.

Her mom got sick and died

and her father left for another woman.

As you know, gossip gets

around quickly on the island

so everybody knows.

That's...

my bike.

Later.

This is bad, this is bad! Nazuna!

Keisuke and his friends

called out some of the new members!

Whatever! Just come quickly!

See? What do we do?

Nazuna, what do we do?!

Huh?

Kuwahara-kun is there, too.

This is really bad... I'll go get a teacher!

Wait!

Nazuna...

It might be good to look

down just a little bit more.

- Give me a look, too.

- Sure.

Start at "ma".

And... go.

Open your mouth a little more.

They're just...

Tense up your stomach.

Look a little more downward.

Okay, split up into your parts for practice!

Okay!

Alright! Us tenors will use the other room.

Okay! Time to get started!

I have confidence that I

can go ahead and let it all out.

But for the moment,

I'll live through this pain.

The part where we say "for the moment,"

needs to feel higher. Also, we

need to nail the consonants.

Just don't lose out, and don't cry.

When you feel like you could just disappear

You have no new messages.

If you are finished, please

hang up your phone.

I knew it was you.

The first time we met was here, right?

- Was it?

- It was!

So...

Why do you put so much effort into singing?

"Why"?

Are you mocking me?

I'm genuinely interested.

Is saying that I like it not good enough?

Sensei.

The song we're doing, Letters...

is about a conversation between our

15- and 30-year-old selves, right?

And since we're giving one age to

the boys and the other to the girls,

the song can come to life.

It just might.

If you hadn't come here, the

boys wouldn't have joined.

I think this is all thanks to you.

Are you mocking me?

I like Letters. I want to keep singing it.

If we can at least get to the nationals,

I'll be able to sing it a little longer.

You're naive.

You're not even ready to

pass through the regionals.

Matsuyama-sensei would

have said I'll do just fine.

But you don't lie.

You might be a good teacher, after all.

What's wrong?

Are you blushing?

I'm not.

You totally are!

At this rate, getting to nationals

might not be just a dream!

You're naive.

We're not even ready to

pass through the regionals.

You're tough as nails as usual.

Sorry, Eri, hang on! I have another call!

Hello, you've got Nakamura.

Hello, this is Nakamura.

Nazuna?

You're Nazuna, right? It's

your dad... can you tell?

Lately, we've heard of "disturbances"

Get Nazuna for me.

like students stopping at stores after class

or arriving to school late.

What happened yesterday?

I thought you just had a call.

Uh...

It's nothing. Sorry.

Okay!

Uh... next we will sing our school anthem--

What is it?

Iwate-san, the one who plays

the music, is away today.

That's bad...

Okay, I understand. You can

go back to your seats.

Kashiwagi-sensei, the student who

plays the music for us is away...

I apologize, but could

you play it in her place?

No, as you know, I...

Oh, right...

Aren't you being too soft on her

just because she's a substitute?

How about at least using this chance to

show the students what you can do?

Nazuna... she's...

All rise.

The school anthem.

I'm very sorry.

I wonder why she didn't play the piano.

I guess she still thinks that playing here

is a waste of her skills.

What are you talking about?

Is she looking down on us?

Well... she did say that before.

What happened to practice?

Sensei.

Why didn't you play the piano?

We still haven't heard you play even once!

Why haven't you played?!

Are you still looking down on us?

That's not...

That's not it, right?

Sensei.

Please play the piano for us.

The deal was that I wouldn't play.

Just a little! Just a little and we'll be satisfied!

Please play the piano for our sake.

Please!

Just...

Just forget it.

We'll do the rest on our own!

I see...

Matsuyama-sensei...

Can you come back as soon as possible?

Sensei?

Why did I never figure this out?

Maybe... just maybe...

it isn't that she doesn't

play, it's that she can't play.

What do you mean by that?

A year ago, she...

gave up on everything including the piano.

She had been

dating the same person

ever since middle school.

They were even engaged.

Hello?

Hello? Uh... I'm Eto of the Tokyo Fire

and Disaster Management Agency.

And last year...

he died in an accident.
