31st Annual Shuka Festival
‪‬
‪♪ ぜんぶ天気のせいでいいよ‬
We can blame it all on the weather
‪♪ この気まずさも‎倦怠‎感も‬
All this awkwardness and exhaustion
‪♪ 太陽は隠れながら知らんぷり‬
The sun hides away, pretending not to see
A packed train clatters along the track
‪♪ ガタゴト揺れる満員電車‬
‪♪ すれ違うのは準急列車‬
It brushes past a local express
I'm gonna search for feelings in a shapeless cloud
‪♪ 輪郭のない雲の‬ ‪ 表情を探してみる‬
The test asks, "How was the author feeling here?"
‪♪ 「作者の気持ちを答えなさい」‬
‪♪ いったいなにが‬ ‪ 正解なんだい？‬
What could the right answer possibly be?
Breaking through the script of pre-established harmony
‪♪ 予定調和の‬ ‪ シナリオ踏み抜いて‬
Everyone talks about the "springtime of life"
‪♪ 青い春なんてもんは‬
And I'm just not cut out for that
‪♪ 僕には似合わないんだ‬
Yet I know that this moment, which will never come again,
‪♪ それでも知ってるから‬ ‪ 一度しかない瞬間は‬
is rich with evanescence
‪♪ ‎儚‎さを‎孕‎んでる‬
I will never forget, ever
‪♪ 絶対忘れてやらないよ‬
‪♪ いつか死ぬまで何回だって‬
So many times before I die someday...
‪♪ こんなこともあったって‬ ‪ 笑ってやんのさ‬
I'll laugh thinking about what it was like
I feel like the wind's leaving me behind
‪♪ 風においてかれそうで‬
So I'm desperately clinging on
‪♪ 必死に‎喰‎らいついてる‬
That familiar sound of the bell
Butler Cafe
‪♪ いつもの鐘の音も‬ ‪ 窓際に積んだ‎埃‎も‬
That dust piled up on the window sill
Even the smell of the classroom
‪♪ 教室の匂いだって‬
I will never forget, ever
‪♪ 絶対忘れてやらないよ‬
‪♪ いつか死ぬまで何回だって‬
So many times before I die someday...
I'll laugh thinking about what it was like
‪♪ こんなこともあったって‬ ‪ 笑ってやんのさ‬
BOCCHI THE ROCK!
#12 Morning Light Falls on You
‪‬
Thank you!
‪ありがとうございました！‬
That was our first song, "I Will Never Forget!"
‪１曲目“忘れてやらない”でした‬
I can't believe how enthusiastic they are.
‪意外と盛り上がった‬
‪喜多ちゃ～ん！‬
Kita-chan!
‪けど…‬
But...
You were so cute!
Now, before we play our next song...
‪それじゃあ 次の曲の前に‬
Let's have a few words from Kessoku Band's leader:
‪結束バンドのリーダー‬ ‪ドラムの伊地知虹夏先輩です‬
our drummer and my senpai, Nijika Ijichi!
‪‬
Nice to meet you, everyone!
‪皆さん はじめまして！‬
Are you having a good time?!
‪盛り上がってますか～？‬
‪‬ ‪割と頑張ってんな‬
They've worked pretty hard.
Yeah...
‪ですね～‬
‪でも ぼっちちゃん…‬
But Bocchi-chan...
Our esteemed bassist, Ryo Yamada,
‪ベースの山田リョウいわく‬ ‪ん？‬
told me that any MCing I did for Kessoku Band would be a flop,
‪結束バンドは‬ ‪ＭＣが つまらないそうでして‬
and at first I thought, "How dare you!"
‪“どの口が？”って思うんですけど‬
But until I learn to be entertaining with this stuff,
‪面白いトークできるようになるまで‬
‪ライブ告知だけにしときますね～‬
I figured I'd stick to concert announcements!
‪‬
Of course, I don't actually know when our next concert'll be...
‪って… まだ‬ ‪次のライブの予定はないんですけど‬
‪もし 気になるって人がいたら‬
But if you wanna see more, just hit up our vocalist, Kita-chan,
‪ボーカルの喜多ちゃんか…‬
Kita-chan!
‪喜多ちゃ～ん！‬
or our guitarist, Bo— Hitori Gotoh, when you can!
‪ギターの ぼっ… あっ‬ ‪後藤‎ひとりちゃんに‬
‪今度 声かけてください！‬
‪‬ ‪わあ～‬
Hitori-chan!
‪ひとりちゃ～ん！‬
Anyway, let's move on to the next song!
‪それじゃ 次の曲 いこっか‬
Right!
‪はい！‬
Please lend us your ears!
‪それでは聴いてください‬
Our next song is "To Become a Constellation..."!
‪２曲目で“星座になれたら”‬
‪あっ…‬
‪‬
‪♪ もうすぐ時計は６時‬
The time's almost six
‪♪ もうそこに一番星‬
The evening star's already out there
Walking home, stepping on shadows
‪♪ 影を踏んで‬
‪♪ 夜に紛れたくなる帰り道‬
I'm hoping to blend into the night
‪やっぱり おかしい‬
Yeah, something's not right.
Lucky you, lucky you
It's been fine this whole time,
‪昨日まで なんともなかったのに‬
Must be nice to have everyone love you
‪１･２弦のチューニングが‬ ‪異常に合わない‬
but now I can't get the E string in tune...
"No, I've always been alone."
‪♪ 「いいや 僕は‬ ‪ ずっと一人きりさ」‬
If only I could become a constellation with you...
‪♪ 君と集まって 星座になれたら‬
On a night of falling stars, I make that moment's wish
‪♪ 星降る夜…‬
The E string!
‪１弦が！‬
Not good...
‪マズい！ せめて‬ ‪２弦のチューニングだけでも…‬
But if I can at least get the B string in tune...
A sparkling, twinkling, trembling signal up high
‪あっ ペグが故障してる！‬
The peg's broken!
She can't use the B string now.
‪あれじゃ‬ ‪２弦も使いものにならない‬
‪これじゃ ソロ 無理だぞ‬
She won't be able to do her solo.
If only I could become a constellation with you...
What'll I do?
‪‬ ‪どうしよう… もうすぐソロが来る‬
My solo's coming up...
The kind that people point to in the sky
If our big culture festival performance fails because I had equipment trouble...
‪せっかくの文化祭ライブが‬
‪私の機材トラブルで台なしに‬
Don't let these lines that link us come undone
‪どうしよう どうしよう…‬
What do I do?
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do?!
‪どうしよう どうしよう‬ ‪どうしよう！‬
No matter how brightly I shine
‪♪ 僕がどんなに ‎眩‎しくても‬
Kita-san...
‪喜多さん…‬ ‪打ち合わせしてないのにアドリブ！‬
She's ad-libbing completely on the fly!
‪みんなに見せてよ‬
I'm going to make sure everyone can see...
how amazingly cool Gotoh-san really is!
‪本当は後藤さんは すごく‬ ‪かっこいいんだってところを‬
‪‬
What's their guitarist doing?
‪‬ ‪あのギター 何やってんだ？‬
‪‬ ‪よく分かんねえけど スゲえ！‬
Dunno, but it's pretty awesome!
Who whips out the bottleneck playing at a time like this?
‪この土壇場でボトルネック奏法とか‬ ‪普通やるか？‬
Now it won't matter if she's a little out of tune!
‪あれならチューニング‬ ‪ズレてても関係ないもんね‬
We met each other, so far away
‪♪ ‎遥‎か‎彼方‬ ‪ 僕らは出会ってしまった‬
And because it's our karma, we'll meet again and again
‪♪ カルマだから‬ ‪ 何度も出会ってしまうよ‬
In the gaps between the clouds
‪♪ 雲の隙間で‬
‪♪ 君と集まって 星座になれたら‬
If only I could become a constellation with you...
‪♪ 夜広げて 描こう絵空事‬
As night falls, I dream that unlikely dream
Not quite a full moon
‪♪ 暗闇を照らすような‬ ‪ 満月じゃなくても‬
But still lighting up the dark
I want to become a constellation with you
‪♪ だから集まって‬ ‪ 星座になりたい‬
The kind that puts out many-colored light
‪♪ 色とりどりの光 放つような‬
I won't let these lines that link us come undone
‪♪ つないだ線 ‎解‎かないよ‬
No matter how brightly you shine
‪♪ 君がどんなに 眩しくても‬
‪‬
‪ああ～ えっと…‬
Well... I wasn't going to say anything before our last song,
‪ホントは続けて‬ ‪最後の曲 いくところなんですけど‬
but please let me say one thing!
‪これだけ言わせてください！‬
Thanks so much for having us today!
‪今日は本当に ありがと～！‬
‪‬
We're gonna try our best to become so good,
‪‬ ‪この日のライブを みんなが将来‬
that one day you'll brag about having seen us here!
‪自慢できるくらいのバンドに‬ ‪なりま～す！‬
Awesome!
‪‬ ‪いいぞ～！‬
Budokan-bound!
‪武道館 行っちゃえ～！‬
You were great, Whatever-san!
‪ご… なんとかさんも‬ ‪よかったぞ！‬
‪あっ‬ ‪アハッ‬
You did good even when your string broke!
‪‬ ‪弦 切れたのに頑張ったね！‬
‪あ…‬
Hey, Gotoh-san!
‪ほら 後藤さん‬ ‪ひと言くらい何か言わなきゃ‬
Looks like you've gotta say something!
‪えっ？‬
‪フフッ‬ ‪ああ あっ うっ…‬
P-People with social anxiety can't talk without a pre-arranged script!
‪コ… コミュ症は‬
‪事前に台本作っとかないと‬ ‪しゃべれないのに‬
Go! Go! Hitori
If you put me in this unplanned situation...
‪予想外のフリされたら…‬
‪‬
Say something funny. Something funny.
‪何か面白いこと 何か面白いこと‬ ‪何か…‬
Something... Something... funny...
‪何か… 面白いこと…‬
Gotoh-san?
‪後藤さん？‬
‪ヘヘッ ヘヘヘ‬
‪あっ…‬
‪ん？‬
‪えっ？‬
‪‬ ‪えっ？‬
Kessoku Band
‪‬
Gotoh-san?!
‪きゃ～！‬ ‪後藤さん！‬
You okay, Bocchi-chan?!
Someone call a teacher!
‪‬ ‪ぼっちちゃん 大丈夫？‬
You're a legendary rock star!
‪‬ ‪お前は伝説のロックスターだ‬
‪ハハハッ‬ ‪あ～ ぼっちちゃん 最高！‬
Bocchi-chan rocks!
At least show a little concern!
‪少しは心配しろ！‬
Seriously!
‪ホントだよ！‬
Someone bring a stretcher!
‪担架 持ってこい！‬
Hitori! You okay?!
‪ひとり！ 大丈夫か？‬
I'm sorry about my sister.
‪‬ ‪うちのお姉ちゃんが すみません‬
‪ああ～ いえいえ‬
H-Hey, it's fine!
‪プププッ‬
‪ああ…‬
‪終わった…‬
It's all over.
Are you all right, Gotoh-san?
‪‬ ‪後藤さん 大丈夫？ 目 覚めた？‬
Are you conscious?
Y-Yeah...
‪あ… はい‬
Thank goodness.
‪よかった～‬
Looks like it wasn't too bad.
‪ケガも大したことないみたい‬
Um...
‪あの…‬
‪ん？‬
I'm really sorry I ruined everything.
‪台なしにしちゃって‬ ‪本当に すみませんでした‬
After all you did...
‪せっかくの…‬
Actually, I think people liked it even more.
‪ううん なぜか‬ ‪逆に盛り上がってたかも‬
‪えっ？‬
Um... Where are the others?
‪あっ 虹夏ちゃんたちは？‬
They're cleaning up now.
‪今 片づけ中‬
They said we'd have an after-party if you were feeling well enough.
‪後藤さん大丈夫なら‬ ‪このあと打ち上げ行こうって‬
But if you aren't, we can save it for later.
‪でも 無理そうなら また今度に‬
‪あっ はい…‬
R-Right...
Oh, that was a surprise.
‪あっ 驚きました‬
‪ん？‬
Kita-san. You got so good so fast.
‪喜多さん‬ ‪いつの間にか上手になってて‬
‪あ…‬
Only for rhythm, of course.
‪バッキングだけだけどね‬
Um...
‪えっと…‬
I can't do the kind of playing that really draws people in.
‪私は‬
‪人を惹きつけられるような演奏は‬ ‪できない‬
‪え？‬
But I seem to be pretty good at the give-and-take with you guys.
‪けど みんなと‬ ‪合わせるのは得意みたいだから‬
I'm gonna keep working on my playing, so please keep teaching me.
‪これからも もっと‬ ‪ギター頑張るから 教えてね‬
‪後藤さ…‬
Gotoh-sa—
Hitori-chan.
‪ひとりちゃん‬
‪あっ え… あっ はい！‬
R-Right!
Okay, I'm off!
‪じゃあ 先 行くね‬ ‪準備できたら来てね‬
Come by when you're ready!
‪あ… はい‬
R-Right...
‪‬ ‪あ…‬
‪‬
I'm going to become good enough to support Hitori-chan.
‪私 ひとりちゃんを‬ ‪支えていけるようになるね‬
The 31st Annual Shuka High School Culture Festival will now come to an end.
‪これにて…‬
After-party! After-party!
‪打ち上げ 打ち上げ♪‬ ‪ぼっちちゃん 大丈夫かな‬
I hope Bocchi-chan's okay...
‪文化祭を終了します‬
Area ahead
off limits
Hey, it's the stage diver.
‪あっ ダイブの人‬
‪うあっ！‬
Oh, the crazy rocker chick?
‪‬ ‪ああ ロックなヤベえヤツか‬
Some day...
‪いつか…‬
Some day, I will quit high school!
‪いつか 高校やめてやる！‬
Forgive me, Father!
‪お父さん ごめんなさい‬
‪‬
What're you doing, Sis?
‪お姉ちゃん何してるの？‬ ‪ワン ワン！‬
I broke the guitar Dad lent me while we were playing!
‪‬ ‪お父さんから借りたギター‬
‪ライブで壊してしまいました‬
P-Please, get up! I'm really not mad!
‪か… 顔 上げて！‬
‪お父さん 全然 怒ってないから‬ ‪ねっ？‬
Please?
‪ペグが壊れただけだろ？‬ ‪そんな心配しなくていいよ‬
It's just a broken peg, right?
It's really not that big a deal.
But...
‪でも…‬
Plus, it was pretty rad the way you broke it in the middle of the concert!
‪‬ ‪それに ライブ中に壊すなんて‬
‪なんか お父さん興奮しちゃうな～‬
‪え？‬
Nowadays, they sell guitars designed to break.
‪今は“破壊専用ギター”‬ ‪ってやつも売ってるらしいし‬
You should use one of those in your next gig!
‪今度のライブで してくれよ‬
‪娘を どの方向に‬ ‪持っていきたいんだ…‬
What kind of daughter are you trying to raise?
Anyway, this is probably a good opportunity for you to buy your own guitar.
‪これも いい機会だし‬ ‪ひとりも自分のギター‬
Play with me, Dad!
‪買ってみたらどうだ？‬ ‪遊んで～‬
What a good idea!
‪あっ それいいじゃない‬ ‪ねえ お父さ～ん‬
C'mon, Dad!
That way, if you hit an issue like this again, you can deal with it right away.
‪‬ ‪今回みたいにトラブったときに‬
‪すぐ対応できるしさ‬
But... Even though I do have a job, all the money goes to my quotas.
‪‬ ‪いや でも バイトはしてるけど‬
‪ライブのノルマで消えるから‬ ‪そんなお金は…‬
I can't afford...
No worries!
‪大丈夫！‬ ‪あ…‬
You've got money!
‪お金ならある！‬
‪ハッ！‬
‪なな… 何？ この大金‬ ‪お父さん まさか闇営業…‬
Wh-Where'd it all come from?
Dad, are you involved in some shady dealings?!
‪は？‬
I c-can't accept your dirty money!
‪ここ… こんな黒いお金‬ ‪受け取れないよ‬
We're not that badly off!
‪‬ ‪うちは そんな切迫してないよ！‬
That's money you earned from advertisements on your videos.
‪それはね ひとりの‬ ‪動画広告収入で得たお金なのよ‬
‪え？‬
See, if a video gets enough views, they pay you.
‪一定の再生数があると‬ ‪お金がもらえるんだよ‬
‪えっ…‬
Did you forget the video site account you use is a family account?
‪動画サイトのアカウント‬
‪家族共有になってたの忘れてただろ‬
You mean, my videos...
‪じゃあ 私の動画…‬
We know all about 'em!
‪もちろん知ってるよ‬ ‪ギターヒーローだろ？‬
guitarhero, right?
They've been racking up the views, so I monetized 'em in secret.
‪再生数 結構あったから‬
‪お父さん こっそり‬ ‪広告付けておいたんだ‬
How'd my girl get so good?!
‪うちの娘 うますぎ！‬
I figured you'd need the money eventually.
‪いつか こうやって‬ ‪必要になるときが来るかもと思って‬
And it's been amazing to see you work so hard
‪ひとりが練習 頑張って‬
and get better and better at the guitar.
‪演奏 どんどん‬ ‪うまくなってく過程が見れたのは‬
‪本当に うれしかったなあ‬
Right, dear?
‪ねっ？ お母さん‬
Yes.
‪ええ‬
I don't know much about music,
‪お母さん 音楽は‬ ‪よく分からないけど‬
but I do think you're amazing at it!
‪上手だなって思ったよ‬
Dad... Mom...
‪お父さん お母さん…‬
guitarhero This song's been a big hit with all my friends lately! I sing this all the time at karaoke! The chorus gets everyone sooo hype! o(^v^)o My boyfriend loves this song!
まあ それに比例して
Of course, it's balanced out
虚言が達者に なってく過程は
by my sadness at seeing you get better and better at lying...
父さん 悲しかったけど
Barf!
‪ゲロゲロ～！‬
There's 300,000 yen here.
‪30万ある…‬
I never imagined getting such a windfall.
‪まさか こんな‬ ‪棚ぼた展開が起こるなんて‬
If I buy a guitar that costs 100k, I'll have 200k left...
‪10万前後のギターを買ったとして‬ ‪残り20万…‬
And if I put that all to quota costs,
‪この残りをノルマに当てれば‬
‪２年近くはバイトしなくても‬ ‪ライブできる！‬
I could play for almost two years without having to work a normal job!
‪よし！ バイト辞めよう！‬
Yes!
I'm totally quitting!
Bocchi-chan's been unusually chipper today.
‪今日の ぼっちちゃん‬ ‪ずっとキラキラしてるんだけど‬
And she bows at me every time we make eye contact.
‪目が合うたび‬ ‪おじぎしてくるんですよね‬
‪あっ‬
‪アハハ…‬
The thought of quitting my job fills me with a mysterious and overwhelming power!
‪‬ ‪バイト辞めれると思ったら‬
‪謎のパワーが無限に湧いてくる！‬
Time to talk to the manager now!
‪早速 店長さんに言いに行こう！‬
‪はあああ～っ！‬ ‪超スーパーぼっちちゃん？‬
Ultra super Bocchi-chan?
‪あ？ バイトがなんだって？‬
What's this about your job?
I... W-Well... S-See...
‪あっ えっと その…‬
I'll continue to work my hardest and most earnestly at it.
‪これからも誠心誠意‬ ‪心血注いで仕事 頑張ります…‬
What's with the sudden declaration of commitment?
‪なんで突然の決意表明？‬
There's nothing harder than declaring you're gonna quit a job.
‪バイト辞めるのは‬ ‪切り出すのが一番大変なんだ‬
Maybe I should ghost them...
‪バックレ…‬
But they do know where I li— Uh, I mean, I don't want to put them out...
‪いやいや 住所 押さえられてるし…‬
‪じゃなくて みんなに迷惑が‬
Bocchi-chan!
‪ぼっちちゃ～ん‬ ‪今日 楽器屋さん行くんでしょ？‬
You're going to the music shop today, right?
‪ハッ！‬
Maybe if I buy an instrument for the manager, she'll let me quit!
‪何か店長さんに献上したら‬ ‪辞めさせてもらえるかも‬
‪今なら お金 たくさんあるし！‬
I've got lots of money now, after all!
Bocchi-chan?
‪あっ あの…‬
H-Hey... Could you ask the manager if there's anything she wants?
‪店長さんの今 欲しいもの‬ ‪聞いてきてもらえますか？‬
Bocchi-chan asked that.
‪って ぼっちちゃんが‬
Since your birthday's coming up, maybe she's talking about a present?
‪お姉ちゃん 誕生日 近いし‬ ‪プレゼントかな？‬
I don't want anything.
‪特にない‬
She says no thanks!
‪“いらねえ”だって‬
‪うがっ‬
I'm finished.
‪終わった…‬
‪ぼっち 私は‬
Bocchi. I'd like a Dingwall and new Le Fay headless and a Darkglass amp head.
‪Dingwall‎とル･フェの‬ ‪新作ヘッドレス‬
‪それと Darkglassの‬ ‪アンプヘッドが欲しい‬
‪‬ ‪皆さ～ん 楽器屋さん行きますよ～‬
We're heading to the music shop, everyone!
Let's la go!
‪レッツラゴー！‬
Bocchi-chan's really nice.
Have fun!
‪いってらっしゃ～い‬ ‪ぼっちちゃん 優しい…‬
But I prefer my presents to be a surprise.
‪‬ ‪でも 私はサプライズ派なんだ‬
‪ん？‬
Funder Guitars
Internet
Electric Guitar Shop
Musical Instruments
If you wanna buy an instrument, you gotta go to Ochanomizu!
‪楽器屋さんといったら‬ ‪やっぱ御茶ノ水だよね～‬
‪ねえ ひとりちゃん‬
Hey, Hitori-chan!
‪なんでこんなに‬ ‪楽器屋さんあるんだろうね？‬
Do you know why there are so many music shops here?
Well, you see...
‪そ れ は！‬
The music business flourished here due to it playing host in the Meiji Period
‪明治時代に‬
‪日本で最も古い歴史を誇る‬ ‪プロオーケストラが結成されてから‬
to Japan's oldest professional orchestra, leading to the formation
‪都内で音楽活動が盛んになって‬
of now-legacy stores in Ochanomizu like Shimokura Music,
‪そのころ御茶ノ水で‬ ‪今では老舗と呼ばれる下倉楽器‬
‪イシバシ楽器が出来て‬ ‪うんぬんかんぬん…‬
Ishibashi Music, and etc etc, blah blah, yada yada...
I bet we'll be seeing a lot of this today.
‪今日一日 シュバってきそう‬
Let's go in here! It's got a great selection!
‪‬ ‪ここ入ろう！ 品ぞろえいいし‬
I'd really rather not.
‪入りたくないな…‬
I was gonna just buy one online, but...
‪本当はネットで注文しちゃおう‬ ‪って思ってたけど‬
Ordering online is fine and all,
‪通販サイトもいいけど‬ ‪実際に触ってみて選ぶのがいいよ‬
but you really oughta handle a guitar before you buy it!
R-Right...
‪あっ はい‬
Music store owners are scary, and if one were to start talking to me...
‪‬ ‪楽器屋って店員さん怖そうだし‬
‪もし話しかけられたりしたら…‬
You like that guitar? You got good taste, dearie.
‪お前 このギター選ぶとか‬ ‪なかなかのセンスじゃん？‬
‪えっ…‬
You like Western music?
‪洋楽とか聴く？‬ ‪ああ 聴かない？ 殺すぞ！‬
Wait, you don't?!
Time to die!
‪あっ あああ～‬
‪イ… イヤホンつけて‬ ‪ノッてるふりしてれば‬
If I put on headphones like I'm listening to music,
maybe no one will talk to me!
‪話しかけてこないはず‬
M-Manager! A major headbanger has entered the store!
‪て… 店長‬
‪すごいヘドバン少女が‬ ‪来店してきました！‬
Must be a hardcore metal fan!
‪‬ ‪コアなメタルファンに違いない！‬
‪ハア ハア…‬ ‪お客様！‬
Ma'am! The heavy metal guitars are on the second floor!
‪メタル志向のギターを‬ ‪お探しなら２階の…‬
‪あっ えっ？‬
‪‬ ‪あっ このストラップ かわいい！‬
What a cute strap!
‪この色とか喜多ちゃんの‬ ‪ギターに似合うんじゃない？‬
This color would look great with your guitar, Kita-chan!
‪わあ～ ピックって‬ ‪こんなに種類あるんですね‬
Look at all the kinds of picks!
Maybe I'll turn some into earrings!
‪イヤリングに加工しちゃおうかな‬
What a great idea!
‪いいんじゃない？‬
What's the matter, ma'am? Ma'am?
‪お客様 どうされ…‬
Can we stop by a hobby shop after this?
‪このあと‬ ‪ハンドメイドショップ行きません？‬
Plus, I checked in advance and found out there's a nice café nearby!
‪あっ あと さっき調べたら‬ ‪お客様～！‬
Ma'am?!
‪‬ ‪近くに いい感じのカフェも…‬
Look at the damn instruments.
‪楽器 見ろや‬
Excuse me.
‪すみません このベースって‬ ‪試奏できたりしますか？‬
Can I try out this bass?
Go ahead.
‪大丈夫ですよ‬
You're buying another, Senpai?
‪先輩 また買うんですか？‬
No.
‪別に‬
I just like how it looks, so I'd like to play it a bit.
‪ちょっと気になるから‬ ‪軽く弾きたいだけ‬
Ah, is slapping okay?
‪あっ スラップしていいですか？‬
Yes, that's fine.
‪はい いいですよ‬
Like this.
‪あっ！ こいつ まさか！‬ ‪これなんですけど‬
Is she going to do that?
‪‬
‪ハッ！‬
‪わあ～‬
‪おお～‬ ‪まあ すごい…‬
Amazing.
I didn't even go that hard.
‪て… 適当に弾いた… だけだけど‬
What a great bass!
‪すごい いいベース‬
When you go all-out but act smug about it!
‪‬ ‪試奏で本気出してドヤるヤツだ！‬
Not that I mind.
‪別にいいけどさ‬
‪何？ 郁代‬ ‪ん？‬
What is it, Ikuyo?
You like that guitar?
‪そのギター気になるの？‬
No, it's not like that...
‪えっ？‬ ‪あっ いや そういうわけでは…‬
‪ん？‬
‪私には リョウ先輩から‬ ‪お借りしてるギターがありますので‬
I've still got the guitar you lent me, after all!
‪‬ ‪ギターは何本あっても困らない‬
You can never have too many guitars.
They're all having so much fun.
‪みんな楽しそうでいいな～‬
‪あっ…‬
‪これが漫画でよく見る‬ ‪ドラマー孤独問題か‬
Is this the lonely drummer thing I see in manga all the time?
M-Maybe I'll buy a guitar and a bass myself!
‪あっ あたしもギターとベース‬ ‪か… 買っちゃおうかな～‬
‪ええ～？‬
Just to play, darn it!
‪普通に弾く用でだよ！‬
I see. Were you feeling lonely?
‪‬ ‪そうか さみしかったのか‬
Let's hit up a drum shop next time!
‪‬ ‪今度はドラム専門店 行こうね！‬
There's one in Akiba.
‪アキバにあるから‬
This one's cool...
‪これ かっこいい…‬
Yamaha's pretty great, huh?
‪‬ ‪YAMAHA‎さん いいですよね～‬
‪あひい～！‬
That one's custom-made, too.
‪それ 特注仕様なんですよ‬
‪手ごろな価格ですけど‬ ‪すごくいいギターですよ‬
It's a really great guitar, especially for the price!
Would you like to try it out?
‪あ… よかったら‬ ‪試奏なされますか？‬
‪あっ いや えっと…‬
Um... Um...
‪初めてのギターなら‬
If it's your first guitar, you might want shielding and a mini amp!
‪シールドとミニアンプも‬ ‪そろえたほうがいいですよ‬
I...
‪あっ うっ…‬
‪うぐっ…‬
I'll take the lot.
‪買います…‬
You already have that stuff, Bocchi-chan!
‪‬ ‪ぼっちちゃん もう持ってるでしょ‬
Oh, you already play? I'm so sorry!
‪あっ 経験者の方でしたか！‬ ‪失礼しました‬
Hey, that's okay.
‪‬ ‪あっ いえいえ 大丈夫ですよ‬
Her guitar broke recently,
‪この子のギターが‬ ‪最近 壊れちゃって‬
so she's looking for a replacement.
‪今日は代替機を探しに来たんです‬
‪ね？ ひとりちゃん‬
Right, Hitori-chan?
‪あん あん‬
Lots of people have multiples nowadays. Even students!
‪今どき 学生さんでも‬
‪何本も持ってる方‬ ‪いらっしゃいますからね‬
Oh, really?
‪そうなんですね～‬
You like this guitar, Hitori-chan?
‪このギター 気に入った？‬ ‪ひとりちゃん‬
‪あん‬
Right. Right.
‪うん うん…‬
She'll take this guitar, please!
‪このギターにするそうです‬
Right, Hitori-chan?
‪ね？ ひとりちゃん‬
Thank you so much!
‪ありがとうございます！‬
Bocchi's like a ventriloquist dummy.
‪‬ ‪ぼっち 腹話術の人形みたい‬
I thought she'd matured a lot lately,
‪‬ ‪最近 成長したと思ったけど‬
But I guess she still has some ways to go.
‪こういうとこ まだまだだな‬
I'm so glad.
‪よかった～‬
I've been doing checks and maintenance on this guitar myself.
‪このギター 私が検品して‬ ‪メンテナンスもしてたんです‬
‪えっ？‬
It's really well made. I like it a lot.
‪すごく作りが良くて‬ ‪私も お気に入りで‬
I'm sure the guitar's happy that it's going with you, too.
‪このギターも お客様に選ばれて‬ ‪うれしいと思いますよ‬
Thank you for coming!
‪お買い上げ‬ ‪ありがとうございました！‬
‪あっ あ…‬ ‪ん？‬
