Synopsis[]

Taki discusses his decisions and goals with Kumiko, explaining that his choices are aimed at helping the group reach Nationals and improve as musicians. Kumiko understands and decides not to ask about Mayu’s soli part. Taki gives her candy, and she leaves.

During practice, a band member questions Reina about their Kansai Competition training regime. Kumiko interrupts, asking the girl to wait until practice is over. The girl then asks why Taki holds auditions after each competition. Shuuichi explains that the executives proposed it and Taki approved.

Another student suggests speaking with Taki to reverse the decision. Reina says it’s too late, and Kumiko agrees. More students voice concerns, prompting Reina to defend Taki. Another student suggests finding ways to uplift everyone’s spirits given the club’s tense atmosphere.

Taki arrives and encourages everyone to keep playing. After practice, Kumiko notices Reina and Shuuichi arguing. She intervenes, telling them to stop because everyone can hear. Shuuichi insists they talk to Taki, doubting they can handle the club’s drama alone.

Later, Kumiko reads Reina’s notes in the executive notebook and believes Reina is trying to forget their bridge incident. In the notebook, Kumiko suggests they get through the Kansai Competition. She then receives a text from Reina, and they meet by the lake to discuss.

Kumiko proposes finding a way for new club members to trust Taki, arguing that if he explains his decisions, they will have faith in him. Reina disagrees, believing the new members won’t care about the reasons and won’t give their all unless the results change. They argue and part ways.

Kumiko heads to Asuka’s residence, where Kaori greets her and mentions rooming with Asuka. Kaori notices Kumiko’s postcard and assumes she fought with Reina, recalling Asuka’s prediction. Asuka arrives, and Kumiko updates them on the school situation. Asuka advises her, suggesting that Taki and Mayu are hesitant.

Kumiko wonders what to do with the Kansai Competition approaching. Asuka reminds her of her greatest quality: speaking her mind without thinking of the consequences. Kumiko leaves, and Kaori wishes her well. As Kumiko runs, we see her unloading her thoughts in the executive notebook and Shuuichi confronting Reina.

Kumiko promises to express her feelings to everyone. Shuuichi and Reina pledge to support her through their words in the notebook. The Kansai Competition arrives, and everyone practices. After Taki speaks, Kumiko asks to say a few words. He agrees.

Kumiko speaks her mind openly, with support from Midori and Hazuki. Most cheer for Kumiko, and the episode closes with the Kitauji High School Concert Band finishing their performance at the Kansai Competition.
