Thank you very much!
Thanks to meeting everyone in Argonavis,
and thanks to all of you here today,
I feel like I've found the thing I've been looking for.
Please listen to Argonavis's new song:
VOICE
Let out a rousing cheer!
Channel your feelings into this moment’s excitement!
To the dream world we go!
Are you dreamin’? (Yes!)
We are the one (BanG!)
Say it again! Let your unwavering voice swell and resonate!
Calling! Dreamin’ World!
On the days when I struggled,
My frustration poured out
Fixated on overcoming my weakness,
I didn’t have a clear view of what comes next
Hey, all the reasons we’re here now
Can be traced back to our convergence under the starry sky
As each of us fumbled around searching for tomorrow
This overflowing passion,
This melody I sought for so long,
Set my heart on fire
I made a prayer and shouted
Our newly forged oath to each other, oh!
Let out a rousing cheer!
Turn the future you want into your destiny!
Onwards, to the next world!
Are you dreamin' (Yes!)
We are the one (BanG!)
Grab on to your indispensable voice!
Embrace it!
Share it!
Calling! Dreamin' World!
Those guys are really killing it.
Hmph.
Everyone in the audience seems so happy...
Yeah, they really do.
Well, it's definitely possible.
Incredible... Which band is that?
Calling Call Dreamin' World
Calling Call you
We did it, Ren!
Yeah!
We really did it...it looks like.
This is the best show we've put on.
Right?
Yeah.
Wow...they're still calling our name.
It's true.
OK, let's go again.
Eh, Ba—
Banri!?
Hey, Banri!
Banri, are you OK?
Sorry, kinda dizzy...
Banri, you...
I got this, I got this. I'm fine—
Banri!
Shiroishi!
Hey, pull yourself together!
- Banri! - Shiroishi!
Banri-kun!
Hey!
Wataru, go with the ambulance.
We'll catch up in the car.
Got it.
I'll go with him!
Contact us when you know which hospital it is.
What happened?
Banri...collapsed.
Banri?
You mean your drummer, Shiroishi Banri?
Yes.
The ambulance is bringing him to the hospital now.
I see...
You should head to the hospital too.
I'll handle things here.
I understand.
Ren, Rio, let's go.
Yeah.
Mashu-san...
Thank you very much.
I don't need your thanks.
Hurry and go.
Let's hurry.
Hang in there, Banri-kun.
Everyone will be with you soon.
Dammit!
If only I stopped him—
Goryo, stop blaming yourself.
He wanted to do this, remember?
Yeah. Let's all just hope for his safety.
Everyone, wait.
What's wrong?
Argonavis's drummer collapsed.
Collapsed?
He was carried to an ambulance just now.
Is he gonna be all right?
He hasn't regained consciousness.
My brother's accompanying him to the hospital.
I'm going later too.
Wataru! How's Banri?
Is he OK?
Come on, say something...
It's not the worst-case scenario...
What do you mean?
There's a small blood clot in his brain.
He might need surgery after.
Surgery?
He'll recover quickly through, right?
It's possible he might not regain consciousness...
What are you saying!?
Yelling at me won't change the situation!
Yuto...
The hell, man...
Right when we were turning things around...
It won't end here. We can't let that happen.
Ah...yeah. Sorry.
I'm gonna go call Banri-kun's family.
Then I'll call boss.
Please.
Later, then.
Yeah.
Nanahoshi, if it's Banri, he'll be fine.
I see...Banri-kun's...
By the way, is everything OK?
I'm not sure.
No, I mean how you guys are holding up.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day for you all.
What a hellish scenario...
If there's a god of music out there, he's way too cruel.
Yeah...
But, you know, he'd only present obstacles that you can overcome.
So I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
Though I'm sure that's not what you want to hear right now...
Nah, I feel better now.
Thank you.
Yeah.
If anything happens, I'll contact you again.
Please do.
Welcome.
Ah, long time no see.
How have you been?
Hey, should we get back to Hakodate for now?
The doctor said there's no way of knowing
when Banri-kun will wake up.
But...
I think we should too.
Shiroishi's parents are coming soon,
and even if we stay, there's nothing we can do.
That's true, but...
Let's go back.
Let's go back to Hakodate.
I'mma turn on the radio.
They're currently getting more and more popular in Sapporo.
It looks like DesFes was a big success for them!
Yes, it appears so.
Actually, GYROAXIA's Tokyo debut has been decided.
GYROAXIA?
After DesFes, they plan on moving to Tokyo and increasing activities there.
Tokyo...
A Tokyo debut, huh?
I'm looking forward to GYROAXIA's future efforts more and more!
Let's expect great things from them!
Sorry.
Nah.
Hey, what are our plans from here?
From here?
Regarding Shiroishi.
We need to think about what we'd do if something were to happen.
Stop it, please. Don't jinx it.
And if the worst were to happen?
- Would we disband? - Stop it!
Sorry.
I still don't know yet.
Even if you were to tell me the future...
Yu...
I know how you feel Goryo. I'm the same.
But how are we gonna deal with this if our leader can't get a grip?
Rio...
We also have to ask if our plan's something Banri-kun would agree to...
Only Banri-kun would know that.
No one can decide that except Banri-kun.
As Argonavis's drummer,
he loves this band as much as any one of us.
There's no question of that, right?
You're right...
Take care on your way back.
I'll drop the heavy luggage at Submariner.
'K, got it.
Goryo, I'm sorry about before.
I'm sorry too for yelling.
As leader, I really do need to think about these things.
You don't need to shoulder everything by yourself.
We should all help think it through and move forward.
No matter what the answer is,
if it's one that we formed together, it'll be fine.
Yeah.
See you. Good work today.
See you.
Guess it's my turn now.
See you tomorrow.
Goodnight.
I'll be leaving too then.
Yeah. Catch you tomorrow.
Hey!
Is it okay if I stay over at your house?
Eh?
With you putting on that face, I can't leave you alone.
Sure.
Your room's so tidy.
Is it?
Star Five...
You can sit anywhere. I'll get some drinks.
Gotcha. Thanks.
Hey...
What do you think?
Eh?
About Argonavis's future.
What Kikyo said earlier.
Ah...
I can't imagine an Argonavis without Banri either.
Even if it gives you a chance to go solo?
That's not going to happen.
Without Argonavis, I...
Sorry.
But knowing Ren thinks that way, I'm relieved.
How about you?
I'm positive Banri will come back, without a doubt.
He won't go down that easily.
We'll have Banri-kun come back and continue growing Argonavis...
We won't lose out, even to GYROAXIA...
But Nayuta-kun is truly amazing...
You're amazing too.
I don't think you're losing to him.
I'm still not there.
I still can't catch up to him at all.
I need to practice more, work so, so much harder...
Even by just a little, I want to catch up to Nayuta-kun...
Ren's really something else.
I can say there is one area where we're stronger than him...
Huh? Where?
Certainly, Nayuta is a prodigy.
He even composes and sings the songs himself.
Mhm.
But!
We all contribute and create music together.
That's where we draw our strength.
If we gather together and work hard,
we might just be able to match a lone prodigy.
Yeah!
That'll be our fighting strategy!
Hey, let's create a song right now!
We can write the lyrics now and ask Rio to write the music!
Yeah...let's do it.
What should it be about?
A song for Banri!
This isn't the goal.
The goal is further ahead.
Far, far away...
Don't you lose, Shiroishi.
Song lyrics?
Welcome.
Sorry I'm late.
Hey, that couldn't be...
Hm? This?
Here.
The new song.
You did this...in half a day?
I felt the same as you two.
I'm just doing what I can do as a member of Argonavis.
Rio's really amazing.
Hey, now. If you're gonna praise me, do it after you've listened.
I want to hear it!
Me too!
Everyone, listen up!
I'm not gonna have any more doubts!
If Banri's not around, it really isn't Argonavis anymore—
Uh, what're you guys doing?
It's a new song.
Ren and I wrote the lyrics. Rio composed it.
A new song? At this time?
We thought we'd do the only thing we could.
What the heck...
And here I was worrying...
But I guess this is what makes us Argonavis!
Hey...everyone...
Unfortunate timing, but I thought I should tell you guys something.
What's wrong, boss?
What's got you so serious?
Well, I have an old friend who's in the music industry...
Mhm. And?
Seems like he's interested in you guys.
In us?
What do you mean by he's interested?
Maybe, just maybe...
he wants to ask you guys over to Tokyo
and give you a formal debut.
Ah, of course that includes everyone.
He said he wants Argonavis to come.
Does that mean we'd be just like GYROAXIA,
and we'd be able to make a debut in Tokyo?
That's how I understand it.
Under normal circumstances, this would be something to celebrate...
I understand.
I'll tell him to wait a little more for your reply.
Don't worry.
Good things will surely come together.
So I'm sure Banri will also...
Yeah...I want to think that too.
It's Banri's family.
Hello.
Yes.
Yes. I understand.
Thank you for calling.
Bad news?
Seems like Banri's condition isn't improving.
Let's get the car ready. We'll head to Sapporo.
Yeah.
Got it.
Wait!
Even if we go, we won't be able to do anything.
But we can't just sit around doing nothing, right?
We'll do what we're able to this moment.
Let Banri hear the new song?
Yeah. Let's send our voices directly to Banri.
But how?
A livestream!
Right.
I see. That'd be one way...
Let's prepare right away.
I'll help out too.
Please do!
Nanahoshi,
can you do it—the new song?
Yeah.
That song was made for Banri.
I can do it.
All right.
I got the OK from Aniki too!
Um!
Excuse me.
I have an important request.
This is the sheet music.
Got it.
Leave it to me.
We're good to go here.
OK. Thanks, Nii-san.
They're done with preparations.
Banri, can you hear us?
We're moving forward.
That's why we want Banri to come with us.
People from Tokyo are asking us to make our major debut there.
But without you, nothing can begin.
If you're not around, Argonavis will no longer exist.
That's why you need to hurry, wake up, and come back already.
Argonavis needs you.
Banri, as we made this song we thought of you,
and to you we dedicate this song.
Please listen.
Pray
When we got lost along the way,
You laughed so freely
When we stumbled pursuing our dream,
You pulled us forward
No one can take your place
We want to fulfill this dream alongside you
If this is a trial on our path to that glittering town, we’ll take it on
O, god of music,
Please watch over us
Don’t let that dream 10,000 nautical miles away come to an end
We called out your irreplaceable name so many times
Hey, you, hurry up and come back soon
Surely, you can hear this prayer-like wish
Have faith, believe in this song
Let's meet at that place again...
What's with this drumming?
As I thought, Argonavis's drummer...
If it's not me...
Come back!
Banri!
On the path I climbed countless times with you,
The rain's heavy melody has cleared away
If you turn around and look into the warm light,
You'll see the rainbow
No more pain on your heart, yeah!
When I thought of our future,
I was filled with earnest anticipation
But even I know, no matter how much I pray,
This song will eventually end
(Hey, you) Let's have a gentle goodbye
(See you again) Looking up at Hachimanzaka Slope,
I made a (tiny) promise,
"I'll return to this place someday."
On the path we had climbed together for the last time,
Flooded with emotion, I couldn't see in front at all
I felt as if the night sky was calling me
The stars were shining so brightly
(No more pain on your heart, yeah!)
