1
00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:12,760
Oh man we lost!

3
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:22,640
generate unprecedented
Watari'ster Fever

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,940
reluctantly move to the U.K.

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,650
Stir up the rumor mill with models

6
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:29,860
lead the league in goals

7
00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:32,240
win the Ballon d'Or ten times in a row.

8
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:34,910
My life of smooth sailing

9
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:38,030
kind of got derailed.

10
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:45,040
I botched my chance of becoming a star.

11
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:51,630
Setbacks come with the
territory of becoming a superstar.

12
00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:52,920
It's more dramatic.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,220
Same thing with Messi.

14
00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:59,010
Then it's the perfect deal for you.

15
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:05,100
I'm gonna hand over the role
of this season's star to you Kousei.

16
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:07,810
I'm not you Watari.

17
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,150
Damn straight.

18
00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:16,070
I'm me you're you. I can't
appeal to Tsubaki's maternal instincts

19
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:17,490
and I can't play the piano.

20
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:22,290
You still can't hear?

21
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:26,750
{\i1}I'm scared.{\i0}

22
00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:30,250
I can't get it out of my head.

23
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:34,300
{\i1}I'm scared. I'm scared.{\i0}

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,340
The idea...

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,810
that I won't be able
to hear the notes again.

26
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:47,770
Well setbacks come with the
territory of becoming a superstar.

27
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:50,520
In the face of adversity

28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,980
that's when you know if
someone's the real deal or not.

29
00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:55,700
You know why?

30
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:04,290
Because the stars shine at night.

31
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:52,440
{\i1}Chopin Étude Op. 25 No. 5...{\i0}

32
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,060
{\i1}Is this what it sounds like?{\i0}

33
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:56,070
{\i1}It's so fast and rough.{\i0}

34
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,410
{\i1}Just like when he{\i0}
{\i1}accompanied Kao{\i0}

35
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:03,990
{\i1}the notes are all over the place.{\i0}

36
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:07,040
{\i1}And he's only going faster and faster.{\i0}

37
00:04:11,790 --> 00:04:13,420
{\i1}Here we go again.{\i0}

38
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,260
{\i1}It's not ringing out.{\i0}

39
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:26,180
{\i1}The sound of the piano.{\i0}

40
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:29,430
{\i1}The sound.{\i0}

41
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:32,560
{\i1}I'm about to be{\i0}
{\i1}consumed by a deep sea.{\i0}

42
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:42,200
{\i1}Not yet! Focus focus focus!{\i0}

43
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,370
{\i1}Give the piano your undivided attention!{\i0}

44
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,950
{\i1}Like the last time...{\i0}

45
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,290
{\i1}Grab hold of the notes{\i0}
{\i1}with your whole body!{\i0}

46
00:04:58,460 --> 00:05:00,460
This is your punishment.

47
00:05:02,420 --> 00:05:04,090
Kousei.

48
00:05:05,590 --> 00:05:09,640
Me and my dream...

49
00:05:10,930 --> 00:05:13,730
Your punishment for rejecting them.

50
00:05:16,060 --> 00:05:17,480
You understand that?

51
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,160
{\i1}He's atrocious.{\i0}

52
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,910
{\i1}Arima. Don't tell me he can't hear.{\i0}

53
00:05:31,450 --> 00:05:33,830
{\i1}This is merely grating on the ears!{\i0}

54
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:35,330
{\i1}Arima.{\i0}

55
00:05:36,290 --> 00:05:39,460
{\i1}You were playing the opening perfectly{\i0}
{\i1}without missing a single note!{\i0}

56
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:42,130
{\i1}Is it because you{\i0}
{\i1}can't perceive the sound?{\i0}

57
00:05:42,710 --> 00:05:44,420
{\i1}Is it true that you can't hear{\i0}
{\i1}your own playing?{\i0}

58
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:47,140
{\i1}Because this is...{\i0}

59
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,470
{\i1}the sound of someone writhing in agony.{\i0}

60
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,180
{\i1}Even if I can't hear{\i0}
{\i1}the notes anymore I can tell.{\i0}

61
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:56,190
{\i1}My cells are howling.{\i0}

62
00:05:56,730 --> 00:05:58,730
{\i1}This isn't Chopin!{\i0}

63
00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:01,070
{\i1}This is your punishment.{\i0}

64
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:02,280
{\i1}You're wrong!{\i0}

65
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:04,900
{\i1}The notes have abandoned you.{\i0}

66
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:06,400
{\i1}You're wrong!{\i0}

67
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,660
{\i1}I worked so hard for you Mom!{\i0}

68
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080
{\i1}The piano is you.{\i0}

69
00:06:15,410 --> 00:06:19,750
{\i1}No matter how hard you pound it{\i0}
{\i1}it won't answer you will it?{\i0}

70
00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:23,460
{\i1}The reason you're lonely...{\i0}

71
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:26,380
{\i1}The reason you're all alone...{\i0}

72
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:28,760
{\i1}I wish you would just die.{\i0}

73
00:06:30,470 --> 00:06:32,470
{\i1}That's your punishment.{\i0}

74
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,230
{\i1}Maybe I'll just stop.{\i0}

75
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:50,160
{\i1}The tension is fading{\i0}
{\i1}away from his playing.{\i0}

76
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,030
{\i1}Is he planning to stop midway?{\i0}

77
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:56,960
{\i1}I'm still the same old me after all.{\i0}

78
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,920
{\i1}To play like I did before{\i0}
{\i1}maybe I expected too much?{\i0}

79
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:05,800
{\i1}I thought that if I entered this competition{\i0}
{\i1}something would change.{\i0}

80
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,510
{\i1}But I'm the same old me.{\i0}

81
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:10,840
{\i1}Nothing's changed.{\i0}

82
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:12,470
{\i1}No.{\i0}

83
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:13,970
{\i1}Don't stop!{\i0}

84
00:07:14,890 --> 00:07:16,180
What's this?

85
00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:17,680
He's going to stop playing.

86
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:20,310
Not that Arima.

87
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:22,310
Better to just cut his losses.

88
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:24,770
{\i1}Don't stop! Keep playing!{\i0}

89
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:25,900
{\i1}You can't stop!{\i0}

90
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:38,870
{\i1}Look at this.{\i0}

91
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:40,750
{\i1}Your entry number.{\i0}

92
00:07:41,580 --> 00:07:43,960
{\i1}Köchel number 265.{\i0}

93
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,130
{\i1}Mozart's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.{\i0}

94
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:53,430
{\i1}The stars will shine over your head!{\i0}

95
00:07:56,180 --> 00:07:58,810
{\i1}Come on! You gotta be kidding me.{\i0}

96
00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:01,190
{\i1}Is this the Arima I know?{\i0}

97
00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:04,150
{\i1}Absolute perfection{\i0}
{\i1}unmatched accuracy.{\i0}

98
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:06,360
{\i1}He's just a shadow of his former self.{\i0}

99
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,690
{\i1}The Kousei Arima that I looked up to.{\i0}

100
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,950
{\i1}What were those two years for?{\i0}

101
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:38,260
Stop messing with me!

102
00:08:45,690 --> 00:08:47,690
He really...

103
00:08:52,450 --> 00:08:54,700
stopped playing.

104
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:11,840
So the prodigy has fallen back to earth?

105
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,220
What does this mean?

106
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:15,720
Disqualified. He won't be evaluated.

107
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:19,140
{\i1}It's over.{\i0}

108
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:22,600
No matter what the reason is

109
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,440
if you cut your performance short

110
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,520
the competition is over for you.

111
00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:33,190
{\i1}It's all over now huh?{\i0}

112
00:09:37,490 --> 00:09:42,540
{\i1}Here we go again.{\i0}
{\i1}Two of a kind. Birds of a feather.{\i0}

113
00:09:43,460 --> 00:09:47,460
{\i1}That day the moment{\i0}
{\i1}I stopped playing{\i0}

114
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:49,540
{\i1}the competition was over for you.{\i0}

115
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,550
{\i1}What was it that you played for?{\i0}

116
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:02,180
{\i1}You're so merciless.{\i0}

117
00:10:02,850 --> 00:10:05,520
{\i1}No matter what I see{\i0}
{\i1}I'm reminded of you.{\i0}

118
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,360
{\i1}You really have no mercy.{\i0}

119
00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:17,160
{\i1}Even the you that's here inside me...{\i0}

120
00:10:20,410 --> 00:10:22,370
{\i1}won't let me give up.{\i0}

121
00:10:27,540 --> 00:10:29,750
{\i1}That day I wonder.{\i0}

122
00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:32,090
{\i1}What did you play for?{\i0}

123
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:57,240
{\i1}Again!{\i0}

124
00:11:00,570 --> 00:11:02,030
{\i1}He started playing again?{\i0}

125
00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:02,950
{\i1}It's no good.{\i0}

126
00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:05,870
{\i1}Although he started playing again{\i0}
{\i1}the tempo's uneven.{\i0}

127
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,170
{\i1}Your imagery is what's important.{\i0}

128
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:12,500
{\i1}How do you want to play this piece?{\i0}

129
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,500
{\i1}Who do you want to play it for?{\i0}

130
00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:17,220
{\i1}That day.{\i0}

131
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,340
{\i1}For what...{\i0}
{\i1}For whom were you playing?{\i0}

132
00:11:22,220 --> 00:11:23,720
{\i1}Friend A.{\i0}

133
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,390
{\i1}I want you.{\i0}

134
00:11:25,390 --> 00:11:28,060
{\i1}I can't hear the sound of the piano.{\i0}

135
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:34,610
{\i1}I hereby appoint you as my accompanist.{\i0}

136
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,530
{\i1}Ah that's right.{\i0}

137
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,380
{\i1}I'm going to play for you.{\i0}

138
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:13,730
{\i1}His playing is changing yet again.{\i0}

139
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,070
{\i1}The opening was as{\i0}
{\i1}robotic as a computer{\i0}

140
00:12:17,070 --> 00:12:19,490
{\i1}following the score with{\i0}
{\i1}dead-on accuracy...{\i0}

141
00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:23,490
{\i1}Then midway through it was like{\i0}
{\i1}a sobbing child pounding the keys.{\i0}

142
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040
{\i1}Three times he's transformed.{\i0}

143
00:12:27,950 --> 00:12:32,500
{\i1}What just happened to him?{\i0}
{\i1}This transformation is unreal.{\i0}

144
00:12:33,210 --> 00:12:36,090
{\i1}It's like there were{\i0}
{\i1}three different pianists playing.{\i0}

145
00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:43,130
{\i1}Not only has his playing changed{\i0}
{\i1}the sound has changed.{\i0}

146
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,260
{\i1}His notes...{\i0}

147
00:12:47,260 --> 00:12:49,270
{\i1}They're starting to sparkle.{\i0}

148
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,400
{\i1}I stopped playing midway.{\i0}

149
00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:57,650
{\i1}I'll be disqualified...{\i0}

150
00:12:58,190 --> 00:13:00,900
{\i1}Just like a certain ruthless tyrant I know.{\i0}

151
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,990
{\i1}The stars will shine over your head.{\i0}

152
00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:10,370
{\i1}Just play with sincerity{\i0}
{\i1}with everything you've got.{\i0}

153
00:13:11,330 --> 00:13:15,040
{\i1}How does the real{\i0}
{\i1}you want to play Chopin?{\i0}

154
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:18,460
{\i1}We're not Chopin after all.{\i0}

155
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:22,510
{\i1}You're just you no matter what.{\i0}

156
00:13:25,090 --> 00:13:27,260
{\i1}The words I exchanged with you...{\i0}

157
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:30,520
{\i1}each one of them is raining{\i0}
{\i1}down on me like stars.{\i0}

158
00:13:31,980 --> 00:13:36,020
{\i1}The sky I looked at alone seemed{\i0}
{\i1}about to swallow me up and scared me.{\i0}

159
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,780
{\i1}The starry sky I looked up{\i0}
{\i1}at with Watari seemed capricious.{\i0}

160
00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:42,990
{\i1}The starry sky I{\i0}
{\i1}looked up at with Tsubaki{\i0}

161
00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:46,660
{\i1}was so incredibly brilliant{\i0}
{\i1}it somehow seemed unstable.{\i0}

162
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:53,910
{\i1}The starry sky that I look up at with you.{\i0}

163
00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:55,250
{\i1}What will it be like?{\i0}

164
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:12,470
{\i1}There's the smell of chalk.{\i0}

165
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,190
{\i1}A window with unsightly cracks.{\i0}
{\i1}The sound of distant cheering.{\i0}

166
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:23,530
{\i1}The shadows of cherry blossom petals.{\i0}
{\i1}The faint breathing of someone asleep.{\i0}

167
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,410
{\i1}The scenery is changing.{\i0}

168
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:32,080
{\i1}This is Arima's imagery.{\i0}

169
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:39,080
{\i1}Everyone's being swallowed{\i0}
{\i1}up into Arima's world.{\i0}

170
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,150
{\i1}We might not be able to turn in{\i0}
{\i1}a performance that we can live with.{\i0}

171
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:02,940
{\i1}But we're going to play.{\i0}

172
00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:06,610
{\i1}So long as we have a chance to play{\i0}
{\i1}and an audience that will listen.{\i0}

173
00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:08,780
{\i1}I'm going to play{\i0}
{\i1}with everything I've got.{\i0}

174
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:15,410
{\i1}Look! This is who I am!{\i0}

175
00:15:15,950 --> 00:15:18,160
{\i1}Let it ring! Let it ring!{\i0}

176
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:22,420
{\i1}So that the people who've{\i0}
{\i1}heard me will never forget me.{\i0}

177
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,420
{\i1}So that I can live in their hearts forever.{\i0}

178
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,890
{\i1}Just one person matters to me.{\i0}

179
00:15:38,770 --> 00:15:40,730
{\i1}Only you matter.{\i0}

180
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,610
{\i1}Thank you.{\i0}

181
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,280
{\i1}Thank you.{\i0}

182
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,210
{\i1}Is this really that Arima?{\i0}

183
00:16:07,260 --> 00:16:09,220
{\i1}I wonder why?{\i0}

184
00:16:09,220 --> 00:16:11,930
{\i1}If I don't hold back{\i0}
{\i1}I think I'm gonna cry.{\i0}

185
00:16:13,510 --> 00:16:15,510
{\i1}I suppose I'm getting old.{\i0}

186
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:21,020
{\i1}Hearing such straightforward{\i0}
{\i1}emotions puts a pang in my heart.{\i0}

187
00:16:22,650 --> 00:16:25,440
{\i1}Come back. Come back.{\i0}

188
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:27,820
{\i1}Arima!{\i0}

189
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:34,450
{\i1}I can hear her soft breathing{\i0}
{\i1}as she sleeps. Like a cat.{\i0}

190
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:40,790
{\i1}A single petal that drifted into my life.{\i0}

191
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:45,750
{\i1}The worst first impression ever.{\i0}
{\i1}The girl who likes my best friend.{\i0}

192
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,760
{\i1}Will it reach her?{\i0}

193
00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,260
{\i1}I hope it reaches her.{\i0}

194
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:12,150
At last he's returned.

195
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:17,830
{\i1}You're here inside me now.{\i0}

196
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,830
{\i1}You're here.{\i0}

197
00:17:24,370 --> 00:17:26,290
You're here...

198
00:17:27,340 --> 00:17:29,340
Kousei Arima!

199
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,510
{\i1}It's just as that girl said.{\i0}

200
00:17:34,510 --> 00:17:36,680
{\i1}Music is freedom.{\i0}

201
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:48,480
{\i1}You're free.{\i0}

202
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,250
Uh...

203
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:54,380
Oh right. Time to applaud.

204
00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:57,300
What was that?

205
00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:00,010
Was it good? Or was it bad?

206
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:11,690
{\i1}Sure that would throw off anyone.{\i0}

207
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,860
{\i1}How are we supposed to{\i0}
{\i1}evaluate something like that?{\i0}

208
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,200
{\i1}Is it resonating?{\i0}

209
00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:26,370
{\i1}Is he still transitioning?{\i0}
{\i1}Is this some kind of omen?{\i0}

210
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:34,710
{\i1}Not the slightest trace{\i0}
{\i1}of regret on that face.{\i0}

211
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,680
{\i1}No feedback. Well of course not.{\i0}

212
00:19:42,220 --> 00:19:45,890
{\i1}Only one person matters to me.{\i0}

213
00:19:46,770 --> 00:19:48,640
{\i1}Will it reach her?{\i0}

214
00:19:53,230 --> 00:19:55,230
{\i1}I hope it reaches her.{\i0}

Episode 10
The Scenery I Shared with You

216
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:37,500
Episode 11
Light of Life

217
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:53,020
That was offensive! Outrageous!

218
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:54,810
Could he have been less prepared?!

219
00:21:54,810 --> 00:21:56,190
Sir! Shh...

220
00:21:57,730 --> 00:22:01,190
{\i1}Just as he says that really sucked.{\i0}

221
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:03,530
{\i1}I wonder if he even studied{\i0}
{\i1}the sheet music properly?{\i0}

222
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:07,780
{\i1}Still those notes of his...{\i0}

223
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,200
{\i1}They felt like April.{\i0}

224
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,290
That Arima...

225
00:22:15,290 --> 00:22:17,250
is an intriguing boy isn't he?

226
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,970
{\i1}The puppet has severed his strings{\i0}
{\i1}and started walking on his own.{\i0}

227
00:22:27,970 --> 00:22:29,510
{\i1}Of course...{\i0}

228
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:34,230
{\i1}those newfound emotions do seem{\i0}
{\i1}a bit much for him to handle.{\i0}

229
00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:39,440
I wonder what happened to him?

230
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,440
To that prodigy Arima?

231
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:47,950
Not bad!

232
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,660
Mr. Mediocre!
