Synopsis[]
The episode opens on Motomu Tsukinaga and his grandfather Genichiro Tsukinaga praying at a tumb. The Kitauji Quartet discusses Motomu's last name, Tsukinaga, as it is a subject of contention, and how it is uncommon but shared with the famous Ryuusei Academy band advisor Genichiro. The band then gets to perform at the Sunrise Festival, where Ryusei and Rikka High School perform as well. Motomu is asked by an old friend, Takashi Higuchi, to talk with Genichiro. Kumiko and Midori decide to talk to Higuchi to help with Motomu and they learn that his sister has passed away. Genichiro later asks Noboru Taki to transfer Motomu tu Ryuusei and shares it with Kumiko. Motomu decides to talk his mind with Kumiko about his sister, the cons of having a relative being your advisor, and how Midori reminds him of his sister. Kumiko advises him to talk with Genichiro and Higuchi and, feeling better, Motomu asks Midori to play Edward Elgar's piece Salut d'Amour together.
Trivia[]
- The ending is replaced by Edward Elgar's Salut D'amour, arranged as a contrabass duet between Sapphire Kawashima and Motomu Tsukinaga.
