She has achieved band enlightenment and has forsaken all attachments to band politics and drama.

apparently, and this is according to tumblr so take it with a grain of salt, kumiko used to word 'ai' (confirmed i heard it) which means real love instead of the often used suki which is often used and way less serious. i don't know how real this difference actually is though

'ai' is what the coach had for smile in Ping Pong

what about "Koi"? I'm not too adept at moonspeak so I don't really know the context the word implies beyond some other way to express or state love.

This episode was so super good. It was also maybe even gayer than the earlier super gay episode. The goodness and the gayness aren't even really related, this ep was just great.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:

All I could think of during the audtion is "no way high schoolers sound like this" because they weren't just blasting notes out at max and devolving the audition into a "who can play a higher note" contest like all the trumpets did in high school when I went.

That would be the first chair audition, not the solo audition :v:

But this is what high schoolers can sound like. As linked before, the real world equivalent of the high school Reina was supposed to go to. Besides, if the musicians they have for this show actually played their best instead of trying to sound like high schoolers, you would hear yet another gulf in quality.

Also, this exchange:
Wife, after the episode, lobbing the softest :smug: softball ever thrown: "So when you were in high school, were you better than Reina"?
Me: *smashes it out of the park*

"Ai" (愛) is kind of the general word for love while "koi" (恋) is specifically used for romantic love.

As I recall, it's more that ai is loving, while koi is being loved. That's not perfect, since they're both nouns rather than verbs, but it's close enough.

One thing to note is that neither of those words is usually used in a 'confession' scene, 'suki/daisuki' (lit. 'I really like you') is much more common.

Well, the framing of the conversation was pretty roundabout, too. They say that it's a confession of love, but neither of them actually says 'I love you.'

That poor, sad Twitter dude

This was another great episode. At first I was pissed that the audition wasn't going to be blind, but the result was satisfactory. Taki-sensei seems a bit socially oblivious on the surface, but he managed to manipulate Kaori into giving up the solo willingly. I guess he trusted her to do the right thing for the band and give the solo to the better musician.

It's a trilogy. They do seem to be changing a couple of things, though (by this point in the thread, I think we all know what), so I'm not sure how graceful a novel-canon continuation would be.
