It will come out and be the best in the morning.

新しい世界の中へ
Toward a new world
You were singing just now, right?
I was on my way to pick up the uniform I ordered...
Hey, are you listening?
...but I didn't know where the shop was.
So I've just been wandering around here since morning.
What shop were you at?
The croquette vendor near the station.
I'm really glad to meet you all here.
Were you guys all together?
Oh yeah! Can I call you all by your names from now on?
Sakai-san, are you doing anything right now?
And if it's okay, I'd like for you to call me by my name too.
Nope. I was just going home.
You were definitely singing, weren't you?
Wienna, right?
No, Vienna.
I'm going, then.
Wienna!
Vienna!
So anyway, you were singing, right?
Wienna!
Vienna!
It's "Wienna"!
Shut up!
Either's fine!
Tanaka, you show Wienna around.
Vienna!
Wienna?
Hey, Sakai-san.
Want to come to my house?
Huh? Your house?
Episode 2
Gathering, Struggling, and...
Sawa!
Kona-chan!
Aloha!
Ah, Shiho-san!
Going to the beach?
Yep! Is she a friend of yours?
Yeah!
She's Sakai Wakana-san, from our class.
I see.
Make yourself at home, then.
I'll be home in time for dinner.
Aloha!
Your big sister?
My mum.
That's right, Sabure!
Eat up and grow big and strong!
And you!
What did you say?
Why?
He's my pet.
I'm home!
Thanks for having me.
Welcome! Come in.
Sorry for the fishy smell.
You live in a shrine?
Yeah.
Call me Sawa.
[Massive Blunder] Inter High School Choir Recital
Have you seen this?
It's from last year's recital.
Nope.
Look, there's Konatsu.
She's so nervous she can't even sing.
Sorry.
I laughed again.
You managed to get through the whole song pretending to sing along,
only to not stop when the others did.
In theory, it was a pretty huge blunder, but I kind of liked it.
It's always good for a laugh, after all.
Sorry!
I'm just kidding!
Hey, Sakai-san.
Can you at least put down your name for our choir?
Konatsu didn't want to leave things like that,
so she's been practising really hard ever since.
And if there's any chance at all, I want to do all I can to help.
So please!
They said we need five members to form a club.
You just need to put down your name.
No?
If you nag her like that, she'll just get mad again.
If it's just putting down my name...
Seriously?!
Awesome!
Shimada Clothing
I don't get girls.
Shimada Clothing
Wearing such weird clothes on their days off.
Shimada Clothing
"Weird clothes"?
Shimada Clothing
Want to go and get something to eat?
Shimada Clothing
My older sister is the only one home right now,
Shimada Clothing
so there's nobody to cook.
Shimada Clothing
Sure.
Shimada Clothing
It couldn't be, could it?
Thinly sliced beef and vegetables grilled in a sweet and sour sauce.
The staple Japanese food...
There's no mistaking it.
This is sukiyaki!
It's gyuudon.
Once we've eaten, let's go and buy you a better book.
For now, how about you get your little brother to invite his friends?
Good idea!
Approved!
The dancing violinist Kumagai Tetsuji is going to be there too.
How about we gather people who want to participate because of him?
Also approved!
I know him!
He plays in a really weird way, right?
Oh yeah!
How about we get Shiho-san to make us recruitment flyers?
That's asking way too much of her!
Huh?
She's always busy doing illustrations and making leaflets for people.
Her pictures have real punch, huh?
Makoto!
Cut that out already!
Invite your friends to choir too, okay?
Huh?
No way.
No matter where you hide your porn, I'll find it.
Mum!
Choir
Let's join the choir
and meet Kumagai Tetsuji !
Please take one!
I'm from the choir.
You'll start straight away!
Please take one!
Have a flyer!
I'm from the choir!
Good job!
Yes, of course.
Yes, I'll be discussing that at the next board meeting.
Yes, yes...
Well then, if you'll excuse me.
Yes! Goodbye.
Please come in.
Yes sir.
Hm...
Is there something wrong with the existing choir?
N-No, but... they won't let me sing.
We've gathered enough members,
and we're going to be entering the recital with a completely different concept to theirs.
I'm sure we'll produce great results, s-
I don't think the vice principal would approve of this,
and entering the recital with members you've gathered on the spo-

This might be interesting.
Huh?
Go ahead and enter.
Go out there as representatives of our school,
and give other music students an incentive to enrol here.
I trust I can act as your advisor?
Yes.
I'm the sort of man who believes it's always important to trust in the youth and potential that my students possess.
Thank you so much!
We did it!
Smooch smooch!
Be interested in...
Miyamoto-san?
What's wrong?
Yes!
Hey!
Go and retrieve the arrows right after you've fired them.
Right!
When does Choir Club start?
From tomorrow's lunch break.
Really?
Good for you.
So anyway, I want to choose a song first of all,
but I find it really hard to get a feel for them by just looking at the sheet music.
There's no point if I know the song and nobody else does.
And I wanted to choose the song right away,
so we could start practice at lunch tomorrow, but...
Sakai-san, you can play piano?!
Piano is compulsory for all music students.
I'm not as good as someone who majors in it, but...
Sakai-san, I know we promised that we just needed your name,
but can you help today and tomorrow, until we've chosen our song?
Huh?
Then what are you going to do for rehearsals and the performance?
My brother's inviting a friend who plays the electone,
but I want to decide really quickly so we can start practice!
Please!
I'll give you cake!
Two cakes!
Just one is fine.
Thanks!
Play through these one by one, then.
It's fine if I just sight-read, right?
Melody of the Heart
This one first!
Melody of the Heart
It looks pretty weird, right?
It's covered in graffiti.
It's not a song I've heard before, and the music's handwritten...
I really like that one!
It reminds me of the Condor Queens a bit.
Do you know them?
They're kind of an old band...
Want me to lend you one of their CDs?
Okay.
That song could be good!
One more time!
This time, play it from memory!
Okay...
Huh?
Anyway, if there are no objections,
I'd like us to perform this song for the recital.
Miss President, when does practice start?
I have cram school, so I can't do anything too late.
Me too.
Um...
Miyamoto-san, I'm leaving now.
Sure. Thanks!
Right, everyone make a note of when you're available,
and hand it in to me.
Okay...
We don't have much time until the recital, but let's all practise really hard and put on a show that'll shake the concert hall!
35th
Joint Music Recital
I received permission from the principal!
I'm aware of that.
What song?
I won't allow this song.
Choose a different one.
That's not fa-
That'll be difficult...
This isn't the sort of song I want you fooling around with.
But I like it.
I had never heard it before,
but I could feel the composer's love of music...
It was so full of that straightforward, honest love...
but it was so cheerful too.
When I heard it, it seemed to put all my worries to rest.
So it has to be that song!
You'll never find the balance...
...between enjoying yourself and entertaining others.
The wind rushes anew
across the green.
Running endlessly onward,
pure and clear.
Now, gently and carefully,
we protect the light.
Sawa!
Is the principal on his way?
Not yet.
They haven't heard from him.
Isn't there anyone else who can drive?
If you don't have your advisor's permission, then go back to class.
Club activities outside of school are expressly forbidden,
without the permission of an advisor or deputy advisor.
As club president, you should be well aware of that.
But...
Who is your deputy advisor?
Takahashi-sensei.
I'll try and contact her!
You wait here with your club members.
I'll need one of your members for rehearsal in return, too.
Makoto, then.
Me?!
Can you read sheet music?
What about Sakai-san?
Huh?
Right now?!
The vice principal said it has to be you.
I'm sorry...
This is the arrangement of parts between the club members.
I wrote it on a sheet of paper for you.
The sheet music's there, too.
If something happens, call me.
I'll keep you updated on what's happening here, too.
I'm really... sorry...
Two cakes, right?
Takahashi-sensei didn't pick up her phone, so I'm going to her house.
What?! Is that okay?!
Yeah, it's not far.
If the principal comes, pick me up on the bus halfway.
Yeah, I'm feeling a little nervous.
Yes?
Um...
Oh, are you one of Tomoko's students?
That's right. Is she...
She's at the hospital for a checkup right now.
Which hospital?
Miyamoto-san!
I found the principal!
"Found"?

Do you think you'll be okay?
They found the principal,
but I don't really know what's going on yet...
Shirahamasaka High School choir?
I'm talking with a teacher right now...
Yes!
I'm going, then.
Right.
I'll be there for sure.
I had stopped!
And after I had just polished the car...
I polish my bike, too!
Principal!
That's the sort of man that I am.
Do you understand?
Maternity Ward
Ah, Sensei!
Huh? Okita?
Why are you here?
You're pregnant?
No...
The principal's a no-go.
What?!
But he called the school and gave them permission to take the bus.
So I think we might just make it!
Okay, we'll head for the concert hall too.
Right.
Where are you now?
I'm at the hospital, so I-
Konatsu?!
You're here?!
Could you please allow our choir to perform last?
They're on their way, and they'll be here soon.
I know this is very short notice, but...
I just received word from the principal.
Huh?
I'm not happy about it,
but it seems you'll now be performing after our vocal group.
Thank you.
Just a little further, I think.
We're cutting it pretty close, huh?
Yeah.
Are the rest of your members there already?
They're on their way.
Sakai-san went on ahead on her own.
Sakai-san?
Is that so?
La la la la la!
You gave me a fright! I almost crashed...
I've done special training.
This isn't like last year...
Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax...
Next up, we have the Shirahamasaka High School choir,
Is Miyamoto-san here?
with a performance of "Melody of the Heart".
Not yet.
I'm here!
Hurry up!
They're reading your name!
Are the other members already out there?
Huh?! They're not with you?!
What?!
We're out of the traffic, so we shouldn't be much longer.
What's going on there?!
Will we make it?!
Nee-chan!
I'll tell them you're withdrawing.
Let's go home.
You're just going to go home after pulling all these people into this?!
Won't you regret that?!
This is your last chance!
That's right...
I've got to make up for last year's embarrassment.
Let's sing.
It doesn't matter if it's not quite the same.
We'll go as far as we can.
Thanks for everything, Sakai-san.
I'll search for an answer to the question you asked me before.
Then what is it?
Why do you want to sing?
Ready?
Right.
Let's sing our hearts out and go home.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Just think of it as a field of pumpkins.
I've never seen a field of pumpkins...
Then how about a field of watermelons?
You're so mean.
Sakai-san?
Okay.
What did she say?
Probably "three cakes".
Shall we, then?

I'll be hospitalised for a short while.
I'll be counting on you to serve as principal in my absence.
Yes sir.
Just "Sawa" is fine.
Tai-kun?
If we do this, we do it to win.
Please let us sing here!
