O God,
grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change.
Amen.
Reverence, girls.
Be graceful with your arms. Stretch out your necks.
Pass through first position.
Watch your heels.
Stay on tempo.
Lower your heads.
The ability of living things to perceive color
is the result of evolution.
When an object is hit by light,
colors in the light are absorbed,
or they're reflected and travel to the brain via the retina.
Colors are like waves of light.
Red apples.
Green leaves.
Blue fish.
With different wavelengths of light,
various colors take shape.
So they say.
But I get the sense the "colors" I feel
might also exist in a slightly different place.
TOTSUKO HIGURASHI
I want to be pink too!
You're orange, Natchan!
What a pretty blue...
Like how butterflies and bees seek out pretty flowers,
and dolphins hear tones that humans can't,
there are colors that I "feel" more so than "see."
When I feel a pretty color,
my heart quickens.
I don't know how to explain it.
If I could see my own color,
what kind of color would it be?
- Morning. - Hey.
And the other day...
- Morning! - Morning!
- Morning.
- And then... - Same here.
The school bell!
We'd better hurry!
One more tardy and I have to do community service!
Yikes!
No running!
- Good morning! - Quiet! No running!
Quiet! Calm down.
No running!
Tonko!
Coming!
We made it!
Barely.
Stand.
Bow.
Good morning.
How'd you do on the quiz, Sakunaga?
It was hard.
Even for you?
It wasn't what I expected.
But you still aced it last time.
You're too amazing.
Is there student council today?
Yeah, I think so.
Kimi-senpai.
About the choir practice schedule...
We need your advice.
Sure, what's up?
Whenever is good for you.
Could you make some time?
Yeah, sure.
- Ugh, it's dodgeball. - Yeah.
P.E.
Here it comes!
Get 'em!
Dodge it! Dodge!
Beautiful...
Totsuko!
Totsuko, are you okay?
You alright?
Totsuko!
- Hey, get up! - Is she okay?
- See ya. - Bye.
- We have to practice. - Kendo time!
- A 20-minute walk? - We can do it!
SAKUNAGA
I'm home.
What is it, Tokko?
Uh, well, I kinda feel sparkly all over.
She took a hard hit to the head in P.E.
Yeah, it's probably that.
Are you... okay? I'm sorry.
I'm fine. Really, I am.
Thank-
Sakunaga... isn't here.
- A café it is, then! - Yay!
Section practice is in another room?
Morning.
- The teacher said so. - I forgot.
Um...
I haven't seen Kimi Sakunaga lately. Has she been out?
Didn't you hear? She dropped out of school.
We were shocked too.
Why?
She defied a teacher.
They found out she had a boyfriend.
There are lots of rumors...
Yeah, plenty...
But the choir concert is coming up.
Then, what's she doing now?
Do you know?
I think I saw Kimi-senpai the other day.
What? No way. Where?
At a bookstore downtown.
Working at the register.
BOOKSTORE
O God,
grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change.
Amen.
Sister Hiyoko!
Miss Higurashi.
The Serenity Prayer also asks God
to grant us the courage to change the things we can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
You know this, right?
Yes, but...
I'm praying for peace of mind.
Is something troubling you?
If you need to confess-
Oh, no, I...
Sister Hiyoko...
Your color is beautiful.
Sorry! Forget I said that.
Excuse me!
Same old, sorry.
But I love them!
Yummy.
What's up, Tokko?
Something happen?
No, it's nothing.
Really?
BISCUIT-MANJU
- Have one. - They're good.
Thanks, "Sisters of the Forest."
It's just that your "colors"...
Or should I say your auras?
They're calm and gentle.
You mean plain?
Ooh...
I'm going, Grandma.
Have a nice day. Your lunch is on the table.
Got it, thanks.
WHITE CAT HALL
Good day.
What should we do today?
Go on ahead.
Okay.
Yuta! Wait for us!
Wait!
There's no box for this.
I don't mind at all.
You sure? Well, I can guarantee the quality.
Understood.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
SECOND-HAND SHOP
Welcome.
Where are you headed?
On an adventure?
I'm looking for someone.
USED BOOKS SALE
There you are.
A bookstore!
This song...
Found you.
Um...Excuse me!
I just wandered in, and...
EASY PIANO PIECES NO. 1
This is it! The book I was looking for!
Yay! I finally found it!
I'm so happy.
I'll take this!
You play the piano?
Um, let's see...Yes!
You play the guitar?
Yeah, I'm practicing.
Wow. Cool.
Sorry about that time in P.E.
Don't mention it!
I love that song you were just playing.
Well, we always sang it in choir.
You're not coming back to school...?
Um...
Uh...
Excuse me.
Yes?
Are the two of you in a band?
Huh?! Do we look like we're in a band?!
You're always playing guitar here, so I wondered.
Sorry. I'd been meaning to ask you one day.
Actually, we're looking for band members.
Do you want to join us?
That just slipped out! It's not really a band yet.
And you're a boy! Oh my, Amen.
- Can I? - Uh...
Um...
My apologies, Sakunaga! It's fine if you don't want to.
But it'd be fun...
I'd love to.
Look outside, Higurashi. It's really beautiful.
Huh?
Oh, okay.
What's wrong?
I...I...think I'm a little seasick. It seems.
Are you okay?
I have...water...
Want to lie down?
May I?
Thank you.
No signal...
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
I'm so happy. I didn't think you'd really come.
We lost reception on the way.
Are you alright, Higurashi?
Mind if I get some fresh air for a bit?
Welcome. Come in.
This church is no longer in use.
But it's been preserved because it's a historical building.
On the condition that I clean this place,
I'm allowed to use it in secret.
It's lovely...
Right?
Thank you for having us.
SUPER NICE ICE CREAM
Vanilla!
Flavored nuts.
Mint chocolate chip.
"Super Ice Cream!"
- What? - Our band name?
Yeah.
It's kind of playful.
And "super" makes it feel strong.
Oh, Kagehira, that instrument of yours...
The theremin?
Wow.
Sorry. I'm not used to talking to boys.
It's okay. Just be casual.
Casual? That's so hard!
Just like that.
Oh, like this?
Yeah, like that.
Alright, then...
C-Can I call you "Kimi"?
Sure.
And "Rui"?
I'd like that.
The ferry will be here soon.
Actually,
I'm not that good on the piano.
You may be disappointed.
I'm a beginner on the guitar too.
My big brother left it behind.
You have a big brother?
Yep, but he found a job and left home.
I see.
I'll practice before next week.
Will we be able to play all kinds of songs?
Like a real band?
Not that I know what a real band's like.
See ya...Kimi.
Will you be okay?
Yeah. Bye.
No way!
Yes way.
Maybe it was a wild cat.
No, I swear.
I believe you.
Really?
I'm home.
Hi. Dinner won't be ready for a while.
Did you have choir practice?
No, not choir practice...
Oh?
I'll get changed.
Okay.
Mm, tastes good.
Come on, eat. Shall I serve you?
Grandma. Um...
What is it?
Actually, never mind.
Oh right, your uniform...
You'll need your summer uniform soon.
We'll get your spring one cleaned.
I can't believe you're wearing the same uniform I wore.
I wonder if Rui can see sound.
I want to play originals.
Like?
Write our own songs?
Yeah.
Can we?! Can we do that?
I think we can.
I'd like to hear a song you wrote.
You girls try too.
Huh?
You want to write too, don't you?
Yeah, I think so. I'd like to try.
You're amazing. I have to work hard.
Write one too, Totsuko.
What's wrong, Rui?
Oh, it's nothing.
Well then, see you next Sunday.
Was that his mom?
Maybe he didn't want her to see us.
It's better that way.
Our school doesn't let us fraternize with boys.
So, I told my roommates that we formed an all-girls band.
This may be cause for a confession!
I'd better go to chapel right away.
Sorry. I'm sure you don't like hearing about school.
Don't worry about it.
If I write a song...
If I write one, I want to express Kimi's "color."
There are eight celestial bodies called planets, including Earth.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM. KIMI'S COLOR.
They spin around the Sun. This is called "revolution."
It's beautiful.
Really...beautiful.
Kimi's color is very beautiful.
THE SOLAR SYSTEM
And super peppy.
Peppy planets...
♪ Sweet, kin planets Up, orbiting. Amen! ♪
Up, orbiting. Amen!
Oh, Sister Hiyoko!
Miss Higurashi, it's time to go home.
Sorry, I'll be gone in a flash!
I heard a resounding voice praying.
Amen, Amen.
No, it's nothing! Good-bye. Have a nice day!
This sounds like Rui's color.
This sounds like Kimi.
One more time! Come on!
What?
Okay then, you're on.
"Good day."
- That was perfect. - Let's listen.
What are you doing?
An impersonation contest.
This is Sumika doing Sister Juri.
"Good day."
You sound just like her! Oh my!
Ah, the "record" feature...
You try too, Totsuko.
Okay, I'll do it later.
Do Sister Hiyoko next, Saku.
Alright, ready?
Wait. Let me practice.
ONE MESSAGE
TOTSUKO: I WROTE A BIT OF A SONG!
E-MAIL
TOTSUKO: I WROTE A BIT OF A SONG!
Already? That's amazing.
SENDER: ME
♪ Sweet, kin planets Up, orbiting. Amen! ♪
"No running in the halls!"
THAT WAS SAKU'S VOICE AT THE END.
KAGEHIRA MEDICAL CLINIC
I'll write you a prescription.
Oof.
Thank you.
Take care.
- You're home. - Hi.
No cram school today?
Nope.
It's okay, I can go buy something for dinner.
No, it's fine. I'm not making anything special.
ENTRANCE CEREMONY
Don't you need to study?
It's alright. I did okay on the mock exam.
Don't get complacent.
We're counting on you to take over the clinic.
I know.
Shiro's not coming home for the Obon holiday.
Oh really?
Yep, he's going to go see his girlfriend's family.
Your summer break is starting too.
I'd love to take you somewhere,
but I can't get time off of work.
Don't worry. I'm busy too. Thanks.
Oh, with the choir? It's a lot of work.
But the principal once said to me
that the choir is in good hands with you in charge.
I'm so proud of you.
Grandma, you shouldn't be...
YOU CREATED A WORLD DEVOID OF LIGHT WANDERING IN CIRCLES
SEARCHING FOR A PATH TO WALK ON
Kimi.
I was just writing a song.
No way! I haven't even started yet. Impressive.
I'll send it to you later.
I want Totsuko to hear it too.
It's not a very happy song, though.
Miss Higurashi.
Sister Hiyoko.
May I sit next to you?
Yes, of course!
Will you be staying in the dormitory for the entire break?
Yes, there's something I really want to do.
I see. I guess that's a choice you can make.
What is it you want to do?
Um, I'm writing a song...
Oh, a new hymn?
Oh, no!
Nothing that amazing...
SWEET, KIN PLANETS UP, ORBITING. AMEN!
This is how I feel. It's a song about happy things.
If the music celebrates the good,
the beautiful, or the truthful,
it could be considered a hymn.
What about songs about sorrow and suffering?
Are they hymns too?
I believe songs about suffering of the soul are also hymns.
We must accept that too.
Perhaps your song will protect you, Miss Higurashi.
I'm in a band, actually!
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from harm.
He will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and going.
Both now and forevermore.
IROHA-ZAKA MAP
Oh my, Iroha-zaka Road is insane.
It's so zigzaggy.
The whole way on a bus?
A bus...
Yikes, this is all real?
Whoa.
Here you go. Tempura soba.
We're in the same group for the field trip, right?
Yeah, that's right.
RAINBOW LIGHT GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL FIELD TRIP TO NIKKO
What will we see? Monkeys?
Monkeys are adorable.
Can we take selfies with them?
Kimi.
Totsuko.
Is something wrong?
She likes you.
Does she?
Meow to you too.
Sorry to keep asking, but is something the matter?
Nope.
Oh, yeah. Next week...
Is the field trip, right?
Yeah.
Promise not to judge me?
Sure.
I haven't told Grandma yet that I quit school.
Maybe I'll run away from home during the field trip.
I'm kind of... scared to tell Grandma the truth.
I don't want to hurt her.
I've gotta go back inside.
Welcome.
Will you be okay, Tonko?
We'll buy you souvenirs.
O...kay...
We'll be going, then.
You can eat the snacks in my desk.
Thank...you...
Get well soon.
Take care.
She's missing the field trip.
Poor thing.
Lord, forgive me!
"Sweet, kin planets"...
"Up, orbiting. Amen"!
Welcome to the secret garden!
Be real quiet.
A cat!
TOTSUKO HIGURASHI: IN RESIDENCE
Thank you for having me.
Cute room.
Are you hungry, Kimi?
No, I'm fine.
I'm supposed to have a stomach ache, so all I had is oatmeal.
Then you must be hungry, Totsuko.
I brought a bunch of snacks.
Really?!
To thank you for everything.
It's no trouble.
Sorry, Totsuko.
It's okay. I get to dodge the bus ride.
If I'd gone on the field trip,
I might've gotten sick for real.
Saku and the girls left a bunch of snacks too.
Let's have a party!
Okay.
Miss Higurashi.
It's Sister Hiyoko!
Yes?
I thought I heard voices.
I was talking to myself!
Should you be up?
Just returning the dishes!
You can leave them in the hallway.
How are you feeling?
Still...not great.
Let's go see the doctor tomorrow.
But I'm feeling much better than this morning.
You should get checked out.
Was there anything else?
No.
Well, get plenty of rest.
- Will do! - Good night.
Thanks!
Good day...
What should I do? Lies upon lies...
- Totsuko. - Yes?
It's alright! I'll confess later!
Ow!
Sorry.
It's a little cramped.
Are you all covered up?
What's written behind you?
Oh, this?
Whoever used this bed before me must have carved it.
I pray to it every day.
Christ almighty...
Hey, Totsuko.
Yes?
I made you tell lies.
I, uh...
Kimi.
I'm really happy right now. I'm having fun.
I won't ask you about anything you don't want to talk about.
I think it's best that you talk to your grandma first.
I'll go with you if you're scared.
Yeah, I'll talk to Grandma when I get home.
Thanks, Totsuko.
Totsuko...
What's wrong, Kimi?
Sorry, I...
I'm the one who asked her to sleep over
during the field trip.
Kimi...Er, Miss Sakunaga isn't to blame.
No matter what the reason is,
having people sleep over is against the rules.
Community service and an apology letter
every day for a month it is.
Yes, ma'am.
Mother Superior, how about Miss Sakunaga?
Miss Sakunaga is no longer a student here.
Still, please give her a chance to atone.
PLEASE TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT
Yes!
It works!
Totsuko.
KIMI AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO COME TO PRACTICE FOR A WHILE. SORRY.
Totsuko.
Welcome home.
Hi...
Hello.
Miss Sakunaga.
Um, sorry.
About the field trip?
Yeah.
I finally hear from you, and it's this...
I'm sorry.
I was worried because you get carsick on bus rides.
You made a friend. One worth covering for.
I was ready to give you a good scolding.
Hey, aren't they cute?!
You were like that once, Totsuko. Remember?
Yeah.
Twirling around and around. Having so much fun.
I'm sorry. There are so many interesting books.
Feel free to flip through any book in the store.
I'll go with this one.
Miss Sakunaga,
I've decided on this book.
Thank you.
APOLOGY LETTER
500 yen, please.
An apology letter?
Yes.
"Apology letter" sounds a little stiff and formal.
Why not make it a little more light-hearted?
Try to write a song about how you feel.
A song?
You've formed a band with Miss Higurashi, right?
Yes.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I wanted to ask if I could leave
some of these fliers at the bookstore.
ST. VALENTINE'S FEST
I was distracted by all the lovely books.
St. Valentine's Fest...
It's an annual festival. You remember, don't you?
Yes.
Why don't you perform at it with Miss Higurashi?
Um...
Alumni can participate too.
I'm not an alumnus.
You graduated from this school.
Just on your own terms.
And Miss Sakunaga,
I think the other students who looked up to you
would want to see that you are doing well.
You lied.
You deceived your grandmother and snuck into the dorm.
Those are sins, but at the same time, they're not.
Because you acted out of consideration.
But that lie hurt you too, didn't it?
Come back again soon!
We can chart a new course as many times as we wish.
Text me if anything comes up!
Isaiah 43, verse 4 says,
"Because you are precious and honored in my sight,"
"I have loved you."
There!
Last day of community service.
Yeah.
ST. VALENTINE'S FEST
Sister Hiyoko said we should perform.
What?!
So long as you're playing hymns.
She said.
No way!
Rui!
Long time no...
Finally! It's been so long!
How are you?
Congrats on finishing community service.
I also wrote lots of apology letters.
And the second verse of the Planets Song too.
How about you?
Cram school, mock exams.
Oh, yeah.
I added a few phrases to the song Kimi wrote.
I'm a little embarrassed.
It sounded a little sad, so...
It's so pretty.
Yeah.
Looks like Rui, huh? Cute!
Let's give this to Rui together.
For Christmas.
Kimi?
The song Kimi wrote and the song Rui wrote.
And the color.. I felt from Kimi...
Spicy cod roe from Tonko!
- You still have that? - Yeah.
...was so lovely!
I still have instant ramen.
Nice.
♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way ♪
♪ Today is Christmas Day ♪
Yay!
Alright, shall we practice?
Okay. Totsuko, for these eight bars,
try turning this knob little by little.
Here? Will I remember?
Let's put a sticker on it.
The snow is so pretty, isn't it?
Maybe it'll pile up tonight.
Oh, that'd be nice!
The ferry's cancelled!
PORK BROTH RAMEN
Bon appétit, Totsuko.
Yum!
What?!
Is something wrong?
Well, uh, Totsu...
Miss Higurashi can't come back on account of the snow.
TOTSUKO: ALL FERRIES HAVE BEEN CANCELED.
SHIHO: USE A STUFFED ANIMAL IN HER PLACE?
Oops.
Miss Yatsushika,
call Miss Higurashi immediately.
Hello? Sumika?
Miss Higurashi? I heard everything.
Sister Hiyoko...
So you're unable to leave?
Are you alone?
Um...No.
Sakunaga and another bandmate named Kagehira...
Are you safe?
Yes. We're quite safe here.
We're fine, but we can't get back home today.
Training camp...
What?
You are participating in a training camp today.
Training camp...
Please believe that there's a reason
why you're all there right now.
Do not blame yourselves for what's happened.
Please relay this message to Miss Sakunaga
and the other person too.
Leave the rest to me.
Training camp!
I brought lots of blankets,
so you should be good for the night.
Thank you so much.
I'll stay too.
What?! You should go home!
No!
I can't leave you two here alone.
Plus, it's training camp!
Yeah, that's right. Yep, I'll be fine.
I made some friends.
So I'm staying with them.
Isn't it cold?
We'll be okay. I brought a lot of stuff from home.
You did?
Fine.
We'll be in the old church.
Stay warm.
I know. Bye.
What are you two doing next year?
Next year?
Yeah. I'm going to college.
My family is from a long line of doctors on this island.
I have to keep it going.
To be honest, this band practice...
Even making music is something I keep secret from my family.
I'm the only one who can carry on the clinic,
and I don't want to worry them.
I go to town for cram school
and buy equipment at second-hand stores
and stash it here.
I always saw you playing guitar at the used bookstore.
I'm so glad I got up the nerve to talk to you.
I'm really happy right now.
I hadn't really thought about it.
My future and stuff.
I think I did things in the wrong order.
I...
left home...and was raised by my grandmother
along with my older brother.
She took really good care of us.
I don't want to let her down. I'm not a good girl at all...
I started feeling bad and ended up running away.
Do you regret dropping out of school?
I don't know.
But it was my decision, so I have to live with it.
You and Rui are beautiful.
Your colors are so calm and clear.
I have this quirk where I see people as colors.
I keep it a secret so people don't think I'm weird.
What do you mean by "seeing people as colors"?
You're green.
Kimi is blue.
I feel the beautiful colors that each person embodies.
That's amazing.
We're sharing secrets and feelings of love.
You're a poet, Rui.
Oh, I'd better check the weather.
It's hard to catch a station.
What?
It's Giselle.
You like it?
Yeah, it's my dream number.
I took ballet when I was young.
We had a ballet studio downstairs.
I wasn't that good, so I quit.
But it was my dream to dance to this song.
Totsuko, I may be able to play this song a little.
Something like that.
I can't do anything hard. I didn't take proper lessons.
Just learned by watching.
Like playing by ear?
Yeah.
Wait. I wanna try playing too.
Thank you for yesterday.
Don't mention it.
How was "training camp"?
Well...
...Accept the things I cannot change
and the courage to change the things I can.
I think I understand what that means a little now.
Sorry for keeping secrets.
Sorry for worrying you.
I'm going to go to college.
Sorry I hid it from you.
But I've always loved music.
I formed a band...
...with some kids I met.
We're going to perform.
It's so much fun.
Will you come watch?
Please come.
BAND NAME: WHITE CAT HALL BAND
VALENTINE'S FEST
Here you go.
Take a picture!
Hey.
I created an account for our band!
Oh, wow! White Cat Hall Band!
Can I upload our song?
What?! On the internet?!
Why not? We wrote it. I want people to hear it.
That's amazing. Right, Kimi?
Hm? What's wrong?
Is this right?
I dropped out of school, yet I'm performing at this festival.
What are you talking about? You're all dressed up and ready!
I've never even been a student here!
Higurashi, Kimi!
How are you?
Whoa. Your outfit is so cool.
Sorry... for dropping out without telling you all.
And for performing today.
We're just happy to see you!
Everyone,
please make your way to the stage.
Sister Hiyoko, this is Rui Kagehira.
I'm Kagehira. Thanks for letting us play today!
I'm looking forward to it.
Miss Higurashi let me hear the song
you're going to perform today.
"Apology Letter: The Good, the True, the Beautiful."
The guitar riff was wonderful.
The muted strokes resonated with my heart.
Furthermore...
You're so knowledgeable, Sister.
Equipment check, please!
Coming!
Actually...
Yes?
I was in a rock band myself when I was your age.
It was called "God Almighty" of all things.
I wish I could erase that part of my life.
Sister, how about accepting the things we cannot change?
The White Cat Hall Band will be performing next! Enjoy!
Hey, Totsuko. What color are you?
I don't know, actually.
I see.
