Episode Description:
Kaoru and Sentarō remain distant. Junichi re-emerges in Kyushu, having suffered an unspecified trauma. Seiji's band performs at the school festival, but the amplifiers for their electric instruments stop working mid-performance. While searching for the cause of the problem, Kaoru overhears Sentarō saying that he only joined the band to help Seiji support his family. Kaoru plays the piano to keep the audience from leaving, and Sentarō joins in on the drums. They play a medley of jazz songs, drawing in a large audience from all over the school.
