started leaving an album there

every day

You mean he liked you.

He was so dedicated,

I invited him to play with us,

but then he suddenly

stopped coming

I wonder why?

I wonder

Say, we heard back from

the Musical Festival have you?

Not yet.

There aren't ever many applicants,

I'm sure you'll get in

Just don't copy us, OK?

Music Festival Application Video

I'll live my life loving my trumpet

That's impossible

No, it's not, not at all

I kiss it every day!

I just remembered something

What? Let's go home together

You promised to take me

to a great noodle shop

Next time, OK next time?

Do you have a stomach ache?

I know you're going

to get noodles alone

That's not it

Leave me alone, idiot!

What's wrong with her

Please be on time!

Sh*t!

Why can't I hit it?

What a shock!

I got it! I hit it!

Hey, where'd he go?

How does this look?

Fine

YAMAHA Music School

I can't take it!

I've told you repeatedly

you have to play with the same feeling

as the others

I've never had anyone

take so long to get it

From the start, then

You're lousy!

You pest!

I never learn anything new!

I'm embarrassed,

but do you mind,

not letting the others in on this?

I swear I won't tell them

If I tell them the truth,

they'll lose faith.

I'll give up conducting

for the music festival

You guys are on your own

It's here!

Thank you!

This year, due to the unusually

large volume of applicants

we accepted bands on a "first come

first served' basis. Unfortunately.

Make me sexy, OK?

That's impossible

Kubo Gynecology

My family's money, huh?

Kubo Gynecology

Kubo Gynecology

Family money.

What's that?

A good luck charm

There, done

Strange.

What's wrong?

You've been strange all day

Um. Um

What about your hair, Tomoko?

If you're not cutting it

at least bleach it a little

Oh, I'll pass

Oh, bleach my hair!

You seem really down

There's something I havent told

Tanaka, did you try your jacket on?

I can let it out if it's tight

All right, I'll try it

Tomoko, do you feel bad?

Oh, I know you'd understand.

Sekiguchi, go check

the train schedule!

OK:

Um! I really need to tell you this!

Listen up

Our conductor, Ozawa, can't

make it to the festival tomorrow

Oh, no!

Yoshie, I just ran out of bleach

Oh, no!

Um...

Morning. The brass band

always gets royal treatment

See you at the Hall

Let's swing!

C'mon, Tomoko

Take off your jackets

We've got to alter them

I want to keep it on longer

Did the train make you sick?

Wow! A confession of love!

I always get sick

from riding the train

so I didn't have breakfast

But lunch is so far away,

maybe I should eat something

Maybe I shouldn't.

What do you think?

Um...

I've got something important.

A tree fell across the track

because of the snow

There's no telling

how long it'll be blocked

Oh no! What'd we do!

Hey we'll walk let us off

That's impossible

Call taxis on our cell phones?

Oh, no, I've got no signal!

Um...

This is hardly the time to

get lovey-dovey

Listen up everyone

About today's music festival.

What!

I can't believe it

What'd we work so hard for.

Oh, no, I can't take this!

It's completely ridiculous

I should've known things were going

way too well for this gang

Sh*t! Ridiculous!

Everybody, quiet!

Hey you guys!

The snow held up another band,

so you get their spot

What a shock.

We raced around looking for you

You came just for us?

Even I have my moments

Oh, no! I left our uniforms

on the train!

No time to go back

It's too bad

20th Annual Student Music Festival

You get this?

They're so late

As for the Swing Girls from

Yamakawa High School,

who won a last minute spot,

their train has been

delayed by weather...

How lame

Impossible? Can't make it?

Unfortunately,

and so we conclude

today's Music Festi...

Wait! We'll play!

The Swing Girls will play

Oh, wonderful

They made it

Um, please listen

There's no time, later

No, um.

So, as our final act

a Big Band jazz ensemble,

rare among high school bands,

The Swing Girls

One two three... five

Just wait!

You tell 'em.

Go Jazz girls!

They're tuning up

I wonder if their instruments

got too cold

There's more music?

Love you, love you, love you

Teacher!

There are two kinds of people

in the world

People who swing and

people who don't

I taught them!

My students! My students!

I taught them!

I thought you'd taught them

Jazz... it's cooler than I thought
