January 1st is Aono's birthday. Aono's new year begins with a visit to the shrine with Ritsuko, Haru, Saeki, and Yamada. Then comes the first club activity after the winter break.
1Coming Apart2025-10-0525 minThe Orchestra club has given their regular concert, and next will be the national competition. They will aim to continue their string of victories, but now with just the first and second-years. However, during the morning practice on the first day, the number of violins was surprisingly small. Furthermore, Sakuma, the leader of percussion, provokes new concertmaster Hatori and the members of the string instruments with harsh words. Aono is confused, and Saeki and Ritsuko are angry.
2Ripples2025-10-1225 minTakimoto, who was transferred from the first violin section to become the leader of the second violin section, has been skipping morning practice. At meetings, Sakuma and the others criticize him for not showing up despite being in a position to lead the section, but Takimoto continues to evade the question and doesn't explain the reason. Eventually, the frustration of the second violin section members explodes, and they confront Takimoto. Aono witnesses this. Takimoto leaves, saying something meaningful, and leaves. Then, Susono, who is worried about Takimoto, makes an unexpected suggestion.
3Responsibility2025-10-1925 minOn his way home from school, Aono unexpectedly bumps into Takimoto, who is crying alone in pain. As Aono shows concern for his senior, Takimoto slowly begins to speak. He talks about the events surrounding the club member who quit, and his own cold feelings and confusion after no longer finding meaning in club activities. These feelings overlap with Aono's, who once gave up the violin due to his relationship with his father. Aono talks about the pain he felt when he stopped playing, and how his feelings toward his father are different now than they were back then. Aono's words make Takimoto…
4Sports Day2025-10-2625 minWith two months until the competition, the string instruments are beginning to come together under the guidance of concertmaster Hatori, and the sports festival is upon us. Ritsuko, a member of the inter-club relay team, is inspired by Aono's determination to have fun and give it her all as she competes. However, she is also chosen as the class's leader for the horse-riding battle. Aono is timid, and Saeki, who is also competing in the battle, becomes competitive. Haru, who can't help but root for Aono, who is in a different group, asks him a question that has been bothering her for a while.
5Issues2025-11-0225 minThere is one month until the competition. With the entire band still unable to agree on an interpretation of the piece, they split into three groups and begin block practice, with Aono ending up in the same group as Sakuma. "Bacchanale" from Saint-Saëns' opera "Samson and Delilah" depicts the love and hate between a man and a woman amidst an antagonistic relationship. It is filled with elegance and charm, anger and sadness, lies and secrets. Haru, who is in a different group from Aono, grasps something from a conversation with Machii, a third-year senior who knows how Haru feels about Aono.
6Regret and Progress2025-11-0925 minTachibana, who is in the same group as Ritsuko during block practice, is irritated by the other members of the club who refuse to take the initiative. Ritsuko senses that Tachibana is always conscious of Sakuma, a senior from the same junior high school. Tachibana tells Ritsuko about how he took over as captain from Sakuma at the junior high school orchestra club, which was a regular gold medalist in competitions, and about the bitter experience and regret he had when his own enthusiasm and sense of responsibility didn't translate into results. Tachibana and Ritsuko are tuning their…
